I had really high expectations for this product, considering it was one of those raved about products on youtube and I could barely find any negative reviews for it (even from my fellow oily people) - meaning I had to try.  I believe the shade I tested was Buff Beige, which was pretty close to my skin tone, but maybe just a tad bit too light, even after oxidizing.  This BARELY oxidized on me, but enough for me to tell it got darker. 

First, THIS HAS A PUMP.  Major win.  It went on soooo smooth, felt great, and blended well.  The coverage was AMAZING!! Definitely a very high medium if not full - I've got mild acne and redness.  I was like, great!  This is gonna be the one!  I'll just pick up the next shade darker! 

WRONG!  THIS MADE ME SO FREAKING OILY!  I am an extremely oily skin girl, and no matter what I do I can't seem to stay matte.  So I'm used to it.  But this, THIS was a whole new level of oily.  I usually only need to blot 2-3 times a day (I COULD do more but I don't NEED to) to look presentable.  With this foundation I would have NEEDED to blot TWO-THREE times OR MORE EACH HOUR TO LOOK DECENT.  My boyfriend said it was the most oily he's ever seen me and even joked and said I could probably start an oil lamp with how much oil was on my face. 

I did the same exact routine I always do with the same products, so obviously something in this foundation did not agree with my skin.  It wore off the sides of my nose and caused my eyeliner to transfer to my upper lid and smear in the corners of my eye (which never happens to me ever, so no it's not the eyeliner) because of how oily those areas got.  And this was all within under five hours sitting in an office, not getting sweaty or moving whatsoever, in the AIR CONDITIONING!

By the end of the day (it got even worse because after I left the office, I had to work an event outside for my other job) it looked so textured and gross (which I blame on the mounds of oil) and I just wanted to get it off.  I absolutely have no idea what everyone is talking about when they say it stays in place all day and doesn't make them oily, because I certainly didn't have that experience.  Wish I could have made it work because the coverage and look was great (minus the oil of course), but I don't have the time or the money to blot a million times a day.

I recommend for normal skin, maybe even combo skin that needs good coverage, but from my experience, if you have very oily skin like me then I say stay away.  In my opinion, the Covergirl Clean Matte BB is wayyyy better, and that's saying something because that really isn't the best thing out there.
 

I don't know who told CoverGirl that ivory was basically beige, but I believe they should be fired. I've always had problems finding my perfect match in this line, and it really sucks when the lightest shade is too dark for you! I applied this foundation using my beauty blender, and it went on like a dream. If I disregarded the fact that it wasn't my shade, it looked pretty dang flawless. This however did not last long as the beigh-ish color on my skin began to oxidize. I must have looked insane to the people who saw me out grocery shopping! Makeup faux pas aisle one! The coverage was nice, it didn't break down funny on my skin and as I said it looked pretty flawless... had it not been too dark and then even oxidize on my  skin. This experience almost made me want to give up the hunt for my holy grail foundation. Thankfully I was able to break that mood and test even more.

This foundation has good coverage and lasts pretty well throughout the day. It is easy o apply and blends well. I love how this has a pump to make things easier. However as it oxidized it just turned pink on me. My sister in law had the same issue with hers as well and we are completely different skin tones and undertones. I am more of a light to medium skin tone with warm undertones and she is fair with cool undertones. And since trying out other foundations I will not be repurchasing this or giving this another shot. I have since found other foundations that I love more that work better for me and do not turn me pink as the day goes on. I have also tried a few different shades with this foundation and it all did the same. If this didn't always turn me pink then this would be such an amazing foundation, but I just cannot seem to find a shade that won't turn me pink, so I have just given up on this foundation and now use others I know that don't turn me pink.

So. This product is very full coverage, however it is V E R Y orange and if you need orange undertones on your skin, this is the one for you then. However for my naturally red face, i need yellow tones to even it out and this did not do it for me. I feel covergirl needs to do more shades in this foundation, lighter and deeper tones. This foundation is kind of transfer resistant though. You can wear glasses and it wont slip off. I really wanted to like this product, though.

For years I insisted on using only MAC foundations. I loved the coverage, staying power, color matches, durability through most weather conditions, and it didn't irritate or exaggerate my sensitive, acne-prone skin. I recently decided to give the ol' drugstore brands another go, mostly because I needed foundation ASAP. I scoured the review boards for a few hours and headed to the my fave drugstore armed with two choices I had deemed the most fitting for my needs. This little beauty was one of them. I love the feel and coverage of this foundation. I was able to find a near perfect color match, and it stays pretty true throughout the day. I don't get a lot of caking or settling into my pores, lines, scars, etc. I would recommend this product to anyone needing a solid, every day, medium-heavy coverage foundation that is affordable, accessible, and long lasting. I keep a bottle in my beauty arsenal and use it more than occasionally.

Holy grail foundation for my oily skin ! This lasts on me the whole day and I love how its a matte finish ! It a medium coverage but it can easily be layered to get more full coverage . If you want a more fuller coverage use a brush ( but for me I always use a beauty blender or my real techniques sponge so it gives me more of a medium coverage for everyday use ) . Also this foundation is very lightweight and it doesn’t break my skin out even though I have oily skin . Already have repurchased it again and again because I love it so much

This color is almost an exact match for me. It has enough yellow and pinkness in it to match my undertone! It lasts a very long time too. I would say it is a medium-coverage but it is very buildable so you can easily work your way to full-coverage. The pump makes it super easy to pump out the foundation and packaging is cute too.

I was a bit skeptical at first using this product. Usually Covergirl and me do not get along, especially their mascaras and eye liners. BUT, this foundation is AMAZING!! You literally get full coverage, even without a primer to start with!! I use a blender to put mine on. Love the matte finish, and love that it does not feel heavy on my face! Very affordable as well. I think I have found my new favorite department store foundation for every day wear. I save my Girgo Armni Power HD for special occasions, and this is pretty much on par with it!! Love it and so happy i purchased this.

This has been my holy grail foundation for the longest time! This lasts all day on my oily skin and never gets cakey or patchy on me. It builds well on itself to a medium-full matte coverage. When I had a lot more acne, this covered pimples decently well without emphasizing too much. The shade range for this foundation is a bit lacking, and its the same with the undertones they offer. If you can find a shade in this line, I'd recommend it! 

For a very long time I was looking for a foundation that would work my skin type which is oily but only in the t zone. When I bought this foundation I had just needed one and it was the cheapest one at the time without thinking I purchased it. I was expecting it to be just a regular foundation. No it was not it turned out to be my favorite foundation. I am so upset that I finished it just a few weeks ago. I will definitely be buying a new one.
