Covergirl skincare makeup hybrid formulated with 0.5% bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative perfect for sensitive skin, the skin-plumping formula reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and increases skin’s firmness. Formulated with tranexamic acid, the potent tone-improving facial essence fades the appearance of existing dark spots, a sign of aging skin
Microdroplet technology pigmented capsules blend easily to distribute a sheer, even tint for a radiant bare-skin filter effect with a refreshed and youthful appearance with a natural skin-like finish, improving complexion’s radiance, skin’s texture, suppleness and firmness after 2 weeks of use* (*Clinical study on 30 females; clinical grading evaluation after daily application for 2 weeks)
Lightweight, gel texture containing 71% water that provides an instant burst of moisture upon application and keeps skin hydrated for the entire day
This moisturizer/foundation is perfect for daily wear. It consists of tiny beads coloured in shades from very pale to dark to match various pigments in natural skin. The beads are suspended in a gel-like substance, but dissipate when this is applied to your skin. Gently massaging this (in small circles) mixes the two components and provides an even coverage to your skin. After is is applied, there is a slight glow or shine to your face, however, this disappears after awhile. If you prefer a matte finish to your makeup, this may not be the product for you, but I like the fact that it has a moisturizing effect on my skin for daily use. For evening — you might want to try the CoverGirl & Olay Simply Ageless 3-in-1 Liquid Foundation which will provide more coverage. This product is also cruelty-free, vegan, paraben-free, fragrance and talc-free and is recommended by dermatologists. I love this foundation and highly recommend it.

Yes, this foundation is quite different than anything I’ve used before, and I’ve tried a LOT of different brands. I was leery about getting it, due to some of the negative comments, but the price wasn’t bad and I really wanted to see what this unique formula was like.
First off, I have a hard time finding a good color, but this one (Fair #20) worked well for me. I’m a natural redhead with pale freckly skin, and have a hard time with finding a good color; I either end up with something way too pale that washes me out, or a color that’s too orangey or pinkish. I like this color as it’s not too light and is also fairly neutral.
As for the application, yes, it’s a bit different in that you have to break the ‘spheres’ apart before applying; but it was fairly easy to put some on my hand and then mix it with my finger before I applied it. It went on very smoothly and doesn’t look/feel greasy, although I will say the coverage is much more sheer than I anticipated. I generally like a more medium coverage, but this actually worked well; the coverage wasn’t bad.
I also liked that it didn’t settle into my wrinkles, which is important since I’m in my late 60’s and my skin tends to be dry with a few wrinkles. Others had mentioned that it caused irritation of their skin, but although I have very sensitive skin, it didn’t bother me at all.
This is one of the better foundations I’ve ever tried, and as long as the price stays around the same, I’ll definitely be buying it again.

I love this serum foundation! Probably should have picked the light shade instead of fair but I just use some bronzer! This is so lightweight and acts like a serum. It covers like a tinted moisturizer, which it still covers age spots and leaves my skin so soft and smooth! I’m going to order the light color for more coverage. Worth the money!

I have golden olive light-medium, however when I tan properly (weather is not sunny enough), I am medium/tan. I was afraid with the skin range, it seemed finding the right match impossible. Glad I went with Medium 40, it matches nicely! I am aware that this match is my winter match, it may not match me soon because I tan so quickly. I have a horrible experience with foundations, it what pulled me off out of makeup for a long time. Finding your foundation is a very personnal experience, everyone reacts differently to formulas.
The foundation is buildable, covers imperfection beautifully, giving your skin but better. It does not look like you are wearing foundation, you don’t feel it. Watery, you need to insure to blend it perfectly and to layer it uniformely to not be streaky. Blend and tap, I used my fingers as tool, do not like brush or sponge.
I have slightly oily skin. I have tested both with and without setting powder (Charlotte tilbury airbrush powder), it honestly don’t make much of a difference, except at extending the makeup duration… Still looks gorgeous through the day. I think a ”glue” primer (eg: smashbox photo primer) is what gonna make the difference with this foundation, it will give a better base to stick throughout the day.
This reminds me of Chantecaille future skin, except for it bing a more lightweight, watery (not creamy), more glowy foundation version… Obviously, with a huge price tag difference! I cannot compare to Chanel Les Beiges, never bought as it is heavily fragranced… my skin can be sensitive.
All and all, I love this foundation. Hope for shade range expansion.
P-S: It has a small dose of bakuchiol, be careful with your glycolic acids. Given it is not a very strong photosensitive as retinol, i do not know why they put an AHA ingredient in a foundation because after you have your sunscreen, how does your skin reaps the benefits of bakuchiol?

What a great find. I am 59 years young and this works great on my mature skin. Just one squirt on my finger tips. It applies nice and feels light. Does not magnify fine lines or build up in places you don’t want it to. It provides a nice natural coverage. I am prone to acne even at this age and it doesn’t cause break outs. I’ve used much more expensive foundations that didn’t work nearly as well. The bottle has a great design that helps you use every drop. The only problem is you don’t know when that last drop will be so when I see that I’m half way through I reorder. This product also has clean ingredients which also makes me feel good about using it.

This foundation is lightweight and goes on smooth and evenly. It isn’t at all heavy and really seems to hydrate the skin. It may not cover up all imperfections like some foundations but it is easy after applying it to go back and use another foundation or concealer to do that where you may need it.

First the “con”; this item arrived in a plastic bag, and the cap was not sealed. Unfortunately, because the color was “rich”, almost the color of the cap, I could not determine if this had been used before I received it.
Now the “pros”: The color is truly sheer, and it provided a nice subtle tint. It is definitely at least 71% water and you have to be careful not to pump too much or you will waste the product. You definitely have to mix it with you fingers or a brush before applying to make certain that the product is well blended before applying to your face. At first, the finish did appear to be shiny; however, that settled down and not the finish is very natural. My naturally oily areas are tamed and the overall performance is nice. After a few hours, my skin still feels soft, moisturized and natural. I will continue to buy and use this product.

This is a sheer coverage tinted watery serum. A very sheer to light coverage, and depending on how much you apply so it is slightly buildable. It slightly evens out your skin tone and provides hydration and glow. It’s a “your skin but better” and “no makeup makeup look” thats especially good for those that don’t like the heavy/unnatural look and feel of some foundations or CC creams. You cannot feel this on your skin. I even wear it comfortably on days I don’t leave the house. Blurs pores imperfections but won’t fully conceal red acne spots. For best results, apply with a makeup brush on hydrated skin. I use it after my skincare and sunscreen has set.
Anywho- I also have the Chanel Water Fresh Complexion Touch and there is little to no difference between this CG formula and Chanel’s. Both have the same consistency, finish, lasting power, and sheer coverage. You get roughly the same amount in a bottle as Chanel for ALOT LESS money (Chanel Water Fresh Tint is $70). However, the CG version doesn’t have fragrance which I prefer for my sensitive skin.
I really hope CG doesn’t discontinue this stuff. For some reason it’s listed as a foundation and I believe that is a mistake. I reccomend watching some YouTube videos on this product before buying to see if it’s right for you.

This is a pretty good product, looks very natural. I got it in the wrong shade by accident but it stills blends into my skin pretty well. It also moistures my skin decently but I’m not a big fan of how it comes out unevenly between the moisturizer and the skin tint which makes some parts lighter and some parts darker. Good as a base.
