This needs to be blended very well and evenly or it’s going to look cakey/patchy.This foundation actually has less coverage than the NYX BB Cream I mentioned above. This might not be a con for you but it is for me because I need coverage. It also looked bad near my hairline and I’m not sure why. Primer did help around my nose but didn’t totally fix it. It also sunk into the pores on my nose, which is so odd because it didn’t do this to the pores on my cheeks. It caked up around my nostrils and disappeared from the crevices around my nostrils immediately after application. This looked awful around and on my nose.Poreless Putty Primer with the Milani Soft Focus Glow Complexion Enhancer (review coming for this Friday). I used a few different primers and they all seemed to work basically the same with it. I don’t always use a primer but when I didn’t with this it looked terrible on my chin and around my nose. Primer is a MUST with this foundation.This feels very light and comfortable on the skin.There is a very light foundation type scent but it dissipates quickly.My skin does tend to be more dry but I do get oily in my T-Zone and no oils ever broke through this foundation.I prefer the Covergirl Clean Foundation for my large pores because it makes them absolutely disappear but this foundation does help and definitely doesn’t draw attention to them. This foundation looks beautiful on fine lines and decent on pores.This is my favorite type of finish BUT if you have very dry skin this will cling to any patches and might make your skin look drier. The finish is satin matte, very similar to the e.l.f. It claims to be suitable for all skin types and I would mostly agree with that.I do always powder my foundation and use setting spray so I’m sure that helped some with the lasting power. I had very little break down or change except in a few areas that I will mention in the cons section. While I didn’t test this foundation for 24 hours, I did test it for multiple full days.This foundation will be a lifesaver in the summer. You’ll see in a picture below how even after a workout there was no sweat breaking through. It barely gets on my phone or my glasses. I have NEVER had a foundation transfer so little in my life. I didn’t test this out for 24 hours because I need sleep but I agree with everything else. This foundation claims to be sweat-proof, transfer-proof and humidity-proof for up to 24 hours and doesn’t clog pores.*My skin type is combination that tends to be more dry with acne, acne scarring, redness, fine lines and large pores. I’ve noticed the price seems to vary between WalMart, CVS, etc. It does match me perfectly. This foundation is not currently available at Ulta so I purchased mine from WalMart for around $9.00. There is no shade description online but I would say this one is best for fair skin with yellow undertones. I bought mine in the shade 802, the second to lightest shade. This foundation is available in 18 shades which isn’t great but it’s a big step up for Covergirl. I decided to try the new Covergirl Outlast Active Foundation. I wasn’t necessarily looking for a BB Cream but I just wanted something that would be effortless to apply and look healthy on my skin. About a month ago I used up my NYX BB Cream and I wanted to find something similar.
