New Drugstore makeup is coming in hot this new year. So many new beauty launches and CoverGirl is one of them. CoverGirl just released their newest Simply Ageless Foundation: CoverGirl Skin Perfector Essence Foundation. The price sticker is leaning towards pro-grade makeup rather than drugstore, over $20 for a drugstore foundation. Let’s review the new CoverGirl Essence Foundation. In this video, we talk about the application, the finish and of course the full day wear test. For all the comparisons see - milabubeautyreview.com/coverg...

I'm 56 with dry skin and this product looks so good on my mature skin. I apply two thin coats and it gives a low to medium coverage. Really loving this product

I love this product! I am 65 years old with normal to dry skin and it just looks so beautiful on my skin. I don't feel it on my skin and I'm so happy to have found it. The last couple of years I've been looking for a good skin tint and I've tried everything in the drugstore all the new things that have come out I even tried Bobby Brown skin tint that I had used to use but everything looks dry and cakey on my skin until this new Cover Girl product.

I love this product! I used it today when I needed to rush out the door and didn’t have time to put a full face of makeup on. It is very sheer coverage, but it’s perfect for just evening out the skin tone a bit. I slapped on some cream blush, bronzer, mascara and out the door. I have dry skin so I didn’t have to powder at all. Love love it for no makeup days

It seems like a lot of maintenance during the day to make it look good. Doesn’t seem worth it for the price. Regular skin care products under a better foundation seems like a better option. There are so many choices with bb creams, and tinted moisturizers etc. that I would not bother with this.

This is for aging skin. It says so on the bottle. I think it wasn't designed for oily young skin so I bet if your over 40 , menopausal and dry it will probably work. I am not criticizing but it does confuse me when young people try products not made for them and then give the product a bad review. It would be like someone 50 trying a foundation for oily acne prone skin and then giving it bad review. Of course your going to hate it.

I'm 60, been through menopause, and I still have t-zone oiliness as much as I ever did. So, even though she's 25 - 30 years younger, she saved me the aggravation because I now know this makeup won't work for my aging combination skin. It's actually an issue for me because so many of the formulas for aging skin don't work on my face, for just this reason.

I have the maybelline skint tint it is good, a bit drying. This cover girl essence would be great for my dry skin I like the glow it is giving off. A no makeup look, fresh skint tint. I think powder on the t zone is key with a setting spray. Also, the loreal serum is good everyday no makeup look. a slight shine but not completely glowy and good coverage. I think all of these would be good for mature skin, you don't wish to wear a lot of makeup.

Mature more dry skin here! With Large pores. While this gives me a great glow and does not settle into laugh lines it did not play nice in my pores especially later in day. I can't do pore filling primers so not option. Ciele tint is my absolute ride or die. But if you like glow and pores aren't huge its very nice IMO

@embeth446 7 ай бұрын

Is the Ciele tint glowy? I’ve been wanting to try it but my shade has been sold out forever. I have dry mature skin but generally do not like much glow because it accentuates pores.

@YeliMe 7 ай бұрын

@embeth446 it is glowy but not super glowy like Ilia was. My large pores have to be set with powder. I have tried it alll. What I find special about this tint is it plays so well with powder and when set lightly in t zone it so smoothing on my pores and last alllll day. I use a light dusting of kosas cloud set powder for reference. Cover girl when I didn't set or I set with cloud powder still looked very textured

I’m 64 with combo skin and have worn this twice so far and both times I came away too shined as well. I set it with powder twice and was still very shiny at the end of the day. Not sure I’m going to keep it. I love that it is such a light wash of color but it just may be too much moisture for me. Bummer.

What is CoverGirl thinking with the price though? It’s over $20, are they for real with that?? I mean, sure, it looks pretty and all, but is it worth that? Or, could you take your favorite foundation, mix in a good, hydrating serum, and make this yourself? Only that way you could customize the coverage? I could be wrong, I’m just saying. If it weren’t for the price, I wouldn’t be coming for it the way I am. But that’s kinda insane to me for a drugstore (not even) foundation.
