REVIEW: Cover Girl Clean Makeup liquid Foundation in Buff Beige

9:20:00 AM


Product Info from Cover Girl

Having a natural, beautiful look means a lot to you.
That's the look of Clean Makeup. 

Clean Makeup's water-based formula, with good-to-your-skin Noxzema ingredients, 
lets your skin breathe, goes on easily, and blends perfectly, 
so the world doesn't see makeup, just the look of great skin.

Retail Price: $6 in the US, PHP 110.00 bought at Ebay.ph

Also Available in Oil Control and Sensitive Skin Formula

I've used this several times last December during parties and other occasions.  I can't say it's really bad, its just so so.  It was cheap, so I got what it's worth.

What I like about it...
* inexpensive
* light coverage
* mild scent
* no irritation or allergies
* does not make my face look cakey

What I don't like...
* it did not dry fast, I had to wait about a minute
* even though it's water based, it doesn't blend well
* I chose the wrong shade (since I bought it online). It's lighter - looks like a liquid concealer, and this has more pinkish undertone to it. Since it's so light, almost non-existent, I still can make it work.
* Although it's in a glass bottle, I hate the top cap. The hole is just too big.
It spilled twice when I was using it. Squeeze type tubes or pumps are better.

My Rating: 2 / 5

TIPS:
If you chose a lighter shade of foundation, you can make it work by applying a darker shade of powder closest to your skin tone.  

Another way to make it work, is to mix your liquid foundation with another liquid foundation that has a darker shade. Add the second foundation in little amounts until you get the shade you want. 

I will probably just finish this bottle so that it won't go to waste. I definitely won't recommend this to anyone. However, for younger ladies or teens, this might work since it has a very light coverage.  I have read from other reviews that they had breakouts when they tried this product, so be careful.

Have a nice day everyone!

Cheerios!

  3. I have this in oil control and its actually not that bad.. But its not so good either. I agree with you when it comes to the drying part.. It takes time for it to dry. I use this with my foundation brush, but since it dries really slow, i think a stippling brush will work better on applying this foundie. This routine I have yet to try :)

  4. @Janica, I really wanted to buy the one in oil control, but the shades available were lighter. I read a review from another blog before, about the oil control, it's actually not bad. Maybe the quality varies for different Formulation. However, it's a lesson learned. Never buy foundation online unless it's a repurchase...hehehe

  6. @kumi, I bought a lot of products from this ebay.ph seller.

    hindi naman katakot, her cosmetic prices are really very cheap compared to other ebay.ph sellers. The products I bought from her were really authentic and sealed! She's a power seller as well. Her husband is a foreigner so maybe most of her items are hand carried and not shipped - I think that's the reason why it's cheap, since she doesn't have shipment costs.
