COVERGIRL TruBlend Matte Made Liquid Foundation, Sand Beige

Good

Just got it today. Tried it on. Love it. I’ve been having issues with cover ups staying on in -25c weather; they always just smudged off on toques or just get spotty.This brand seems to do the trick I need! Just cause we live in Canada doesn’t mean we can’t be pretty popsicles💁🏼‍♀️Blended awesome. And doesn’t rub off on toques! Cause let’s get real.. we all get the make up line on hats and it’s gross looking lol. Not cute.I was nervous about the colour as I couldn’t tell which would works best but i guess I made good judgment for once. Can’t make good judgments on men but I can on myMake up

I wore this foundation on my anniversary and it was a great choice. It gave me full coverage, long wear, and didn’t dry out my skin or anything. It was a perfect match to my skin and applied smooth. This rivals my Tarte Cosmetics foundation, and for the price, you can’t go wrong!

I took a chance ordering Shade L20 sight unseen and was so thrilled to discover that it is an excellent match for my skin tone! I've always avoided drugstore foundation because being pale, I've found that most are too orange or simply too dark for me.I prefer a lighter coverage, so I have been sheering it out with a sponge to apply and find that a little goes a long way. It seems pretty build-able, so I think if you do like a fuller coverage, you could achieve that with a bit more work. Once dried down, it's very comfortable on the skin. I did not notice oxidation but I've seen other reviews complaining about this.I happen to be super oily so I'm very excited about the oil-controlling properties of this foundation. I don't think it will live up to it's 12-hour-wear claim but for the price I'm not going to complain about that. However, if you have drier skin you may want to pass on this as I could see it being too chalky.I would give it five stars, except the initial smell is really odd and kind of gross. It goes away quickly but it's pretty strong at first!

I ordered L15 and L30 (warm light shades) to mix because I always need to mix drugstore foundations to achieve a match for my NC20 skin. But, this shade range is incredible and L30 was all I needed!! It goes on two shades lighter than it dries down to so don't let the wet shade scare you. So, I guess it oxidizes? To me, it just dries down. At first I used it over moisturizer, no primer, just to see how it would work out and it was kind of cakey and sort of uneven.looking. But, over primer (i'm currently using NYX Shine Free- transparent and siliconey) and it looks really well all day. Not cakey or uneven at all. I do wish it had slightly better coverage but it layers well. At this point, however, if I have to use three pumps, I might as well just buy MAC Studio Fix liquid because while it's more expensive, I need to use far less and it's just a better foundation. But, if you want the convenience of the drugstore, have oily skin or just like a matte finish and don't want anything more than a light/medium coverage, this is a great foundation! It dries slightly chalky, it's definitely drugstore quality, it reminds me a bit of the Rimmel matte in the tube, but I use a dewy but long lasting setting spray and illuminating powders to counter the dry look and it lasts all day and looks pretty well, really. For the price and colour match, you can't go wrong.

At this point I wonder why do I even try to find foundation that is actually flattering for my skin. Mind you I have no acne nor any major skin condition. I just have medium to dry skin and I don't love the look of pores on my cheeks so I bought this "matte" foundation.The shade is alright. I am a natural beige with all my foundation so the issue isn't there. I thought this, with the "tru blend face primer dry skin" would suffice to make my skin look more healthy and offer coverage for my pores. I was sadly mistaken. It offers minimal coverage and when I tried to pack it up to cover my pores and some white heads on my nose, it looked cakey and my laugh lines became much more prominent and made my skin look 20 years older.I think I might just give up foundation all together since I can't afford the high end stuff and the "affordable" brands don't have the necessary quality.
