Product Review—Makeup:COVERGIRL Queen Collection All Day Flawless Foundation—I Don't Even Need Concealer!
When I wear foundation, I truly love a liquid formula. It makes me feel in control—I can apply as little as I want without the look of heavy foundation. Invariably, however, I still need to pile on the concealer after my foundation, and if it’s warm outside, I need to do a little powder dusting for a finale. When it comes to product choices, I am the queen of multi-tasking beauty products. Before tinted moisturizer even existed, I was mixing my foundation and moisturizer together to get my desired look and product consistency. So, needless to say, when I received COVERGIRL Queen Collection All Day Flawless Foundation, I was excited, and at the same time curious if it truly would live up to its claim. About COVERGIRL Queen Collection All Day Flawless Foundation: Shine-free flawless look that lasts all day so you can always show the world you are at your best! Beautifully combines the essence of liquid, concealer and powder into one foundation for a natural lightweight finish. 14 shine-free shades made for you 3 in 1 foundation – liquid, concealer & powder My results: My first time wearing was actually at night, and I was indeed flawless—all night. So, I suppose the same principle applies here, I had flawless with this foundation for hours. Initially, I didn’t really pay attention to what the 3 in 1 stood for, I just love makeup that has more than one benefit for me. Well, after applying the foundation, I skipped concealer. And the crazy part is that I didn’t even realize that I skipped my concealer until I was completely finished with my makeup application. I was like, “OMG, I forgot the concealer!” Then I looked in the mirror, and I was like, “OMG, I don’t need concealer!” Yep. It’s that good. And I have to confess that I NEED concealer to hide my under eye circles. The finish of the COVERGIRL Queen Collection All Day Flawless Foundation is another lovely benefit. I am 55, and really loathe powder. However, at times when I do want that completely flawless finish to my makeup, a dusting of foundation is a must. But, CoverGirl is sheer genius. No need for powder with this multi-tasking foundation. And what I love is that I don’t look or feel “powdered.” As far as application, you only need a touch, as a little goes a very long way. The coverage is excellent, you get full-coverage without that caked on makeup look. I used the foundation in Amber Glow 805, which was a shade dark for me, but with a little smoothing, who cares? It blended and gave me an Amber Glow. There are 14 colors available, so I’m sure that I can pick up shade 800, which will probably be a perfect match. (This was sent to me by CoverGirl to review.)
