COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation

I received this product for free through Bzz Agent to try.
 
Before being selected, I had a pretty standard beauty routine in the morning. Overall, I am fairly low maintenance, but I do try and take the time each morning to wash my face and apply make up. I usually just go to the grocery store, pick out a few colors that I like and go from there. Although I have used other Cover Girl products in the past, I have never tried one of their foundations, let alone the COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation. I wanted to know if I could find a shade that matched my skin tone well, was easy to apply and wore well throughout the day. As a mother to 2 young crazy boys, and a firefighter, I knew that COVERGIRL had it's work cut out for them.

After receiving my coupon, I went and selected 832 Nude Beige. I ended up getting it right on the first try and this shade worked perfectly for my tone. My usual routine is: Moisturizer, sunscreen, primer, then foundation. I was really excited to cut 2 steps out of this process and save a little time on chaotic mornings. The foundation applied easily and was very light on my skin. Usually after I use foundation, I apply a light powder as the foundation tends to feel a little think and greasy. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I needed no powder after applying COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation. The finish was soft, gentle and non greasy.

The big test for me was throughout the day, as I wore it through my busy schedule of errands, cleaning and running kids to school and activities. During the morning, it did really well, but as the day wore on, it did start to wear off some. Overall, it stayed on better than I expected and the coverage was great. After wearing it for several days and getting the same above average results, I found this product to be good, non-greasy, soft and lived up to its claims. The only draw back for me (and it is VERY minor) is that I prefer foundation in squeeze tubes as opposed to pumps as I feel they are less fuss when the supply gets low. I hate having to take the top off the bottle and trying to dig in to get the remainder as not to waste.

Overall, I would recommend COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation to a friend and would buy it again in the future for myself!
