I wanted to try this because of the skin nourishing ingredients, but also because powders tend to accentuate the look of my pores, which are large. 

I applied with a brush (swirling in the cream) and it went on really beautifully over the Rimmel primer I was using.  I was surprised that it was as luminous looking as it is - a really pretty eggshell dew finish, not a dry "cream to powder" finish.  

I will say that it didn't really help reduce the look of the pores much.  I think perhaps a better primer - a thicker, silicon based one, would have worked better (be sure to let it dry fully before applying since this cream is pretty 'wet' for a cream, though thick).  Also, the shade (205) was too light for me - so err on the side of a little darker if you're a fairly-light person like me.

When I need a full coverage foundation I reach for Covergirl & Olays ageless cream foundation. I use a damp beauty sponge to apply the foundation and it goes on smooth. It gives me the full coverage I want without the weight of a liquid. Yes, I would buy it again but that will only be because my foundation has expired. Not because I used it all up. For the price you get quite a lot of product. COVERGIRL + OLAY Simply Ageless Instant Wrinkle Defying Foundation

I love this foundation. It covers well plus helps with minimizing aging signs. Very easy to apply. Makes face feel smooth. Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless Foundation - Classic Beige 230

I bought this foundation because I'm in my mid-thirties and getting *of age* and need foundation that will hide those pesky fine lines that are starting to appear. I like how the compact includes a separate section down below to store your sponge so that it isn't sitting in the product. I also like how creamy this feels, and how thick it goes on my skin. It is long-lasting for me due to the thickness, because my skin can be somewhat oily and reject liquid foundations. However, I didn't like how this foundation actually accentuated the lines that I already had, which is kind of disappointing for a product that advertises to reduce their appearance. I use this every now and then because it does help fill in my pores but I have to make sure my face is fully hydrated with moisture creams prior to use. Overall, it is okay but wish it would really hide those fine lines.

I like Covergirls simply+Olay ageless instant wrinkle defying foundation.I like it because it didn't leave my face feeling oily.moistureizer and foundation in one all in one step.The foundation didn't feel heavy at all.I will buy this again.

This is still one of my favorite drug store foundations. I normally like liquid makeup under my powder, but my mom bought this and I used it. I fell in love. (This was before I discovered high end Makeup) it left my face feeling like velvet, it covered all my imperfections, and didn't dry my face out. I always felt beautiful when I wore this foundation. It's a great foundation and I highly recommend trying it!!

I used to love this foundation back when it launched with Olay. I don't know why I ever quit using it! Flash forward 10 years later, and I picked it up again looking for help with my dry skin. It is a very smoothing foundation. I wouldn't say it is buildable or high coverage, but it is moisturizing and is great for quick, light make up days. This paired with the Smashbox hydrating powder has been a great combo for me.

My face gets sunburned pretty easily so the fact that you have spf 28 in the mix makes me happy. I use this mainly to get rid of the dark circles under my eyes but I blend it all in to the rest of my face. Doesnt feel dry doesnt look like caked up frosting either. Comes with a little sponge but I always use my own sponge for better blending but its good for emergency use. I absolutely love this product

#215 Natural Ivory I am going on my 2nd pack of this creme based foundation. I have dry and aging skin with large pores and this drug store brand has been a great addition to my regular collection of B.B. Creams and foundations. It is light coverage and with the Olay mixed in, can be used as a primer, foundation or coverage. I use it under my eyes and around my chin to even out tone and it does float on top of wrinkles. When the weather gets dry, this is a great option because many concealers cake into wrinkles and just look awful. The color is a good match for me too. Also it has SPF which is a requirement for me in all skin care products. It’s a staple in my Beauty kit.

This foundation is okay for a drug store foundation I guess. It moisturizes pretty well but after a few hours it oxodized on my skin and made me look orange. It settled into my lines and pores and just looked gross. If I only needed something for a couple hours I'd be fine. But definitely not one I'd wear all day.
