REVIEW: Cover Fx Foundation powder & cream

I thought that I should share the awesomeness of these foundation if anyone is like me that have gone through numerous unsatisfying foundation products. I'm going to be reviewing the Cover Fx powder & Cover Fx Cream foundation.

Warning: These are drugstore products but on the slightly pricey end BUT the extra cost is worth the coverage (for me at least). 

 Cover Fx POWDER

Amaazing coverage. Personally, I get lazy when it comes to my morning putting on makeup while half asleep so this is great for all you peeps out there that are like moi. I would just slab the powder over my redness spots or acne area & it is instant coverage.Want more of a flawless overall look? Go ahead & do a couple of coats (depending how heavy one of your coat is cause I swirl my powder pad lightly). I love this product a lot & it my go-to grab when I am in a rush. It gives a flawless smooth look with a nice colour correction if you get a shade slightly darker than your normal skin tone if you need some help on the paler skin types. 

My skin tends to be on the dry end but sometimes oily so its a combination. For my skin, I break out the most on the forehead area & especially after showering my skin shows the flaky parts. This is because of the warm-hot water that I shower & wash my face it. It strips your skin of it's natural oils which is where moisturizing with night cream comes in. Moisturizing at night after a long hot shower is crucial for a healthy smooth hydrated skin. 
Typically, this powder foundation works amazing (with some flakiness due to my dry skin sometimes) but I would definitely list this product in my top 5 foundation. 

***Note*** If I am correct, I think the powdering pad DOES NOT come with your purchase, I just got it from the dollar store for an easier application. You can of course use a powder brush too.

***NO EDIT*** For this shoot, I only used the Cover Fx Powder, nothing else. No primers or setting translucent powder. I did about just 2 coats on the entire face (n total) & 2 more additional coats on my forehead/acne spots (4 coats in total).
USUALLY - I would just do 1-3 quick coats.

RECOMMEND? - Yup yup
RATINGS OUT OF 10 - 9/10 (Sometimes the mix with my dry skin is not a good combo but the flakiness can only be seen up close & personal)

Cover Fx Cream

I've read that for the most coverage, you should go for the cream foundation instead of the liquid or powder types. So with that in mind, I've been using this cream foundation for my senior year in high school during my breakout days thinking that I would be the best coverage. Am..... personally, I feel that after trying the Cover Fx Powder I have to say that the powder did the best job of coverage & evening out wit minimum cakiness on my face. This could just be a personal skin reaction with the foundation but I haven't touch this cream foundation after trying the powder one just recently. Try it out & see which works best for you, it really is different for everyone.

It does feel heavy on my skin during and after application. I can feel that there's a coat of thick foundation on & it does not feel light in most cases. I will do the job if you just need coverage on redness .This did caked up parts of my skin (especially my forehead where my breakouts occurs the most) & additionally with my annoying dry skin, it's like a double tier cake of cakiness in all. I've also notice that my breakouts happen the heaviest when I'm about the get my period & if anyone else experience this too, don't worry girl, I feel your pain.

I found that even on my worst acne breakout spots, no matter how much I put on that area, it does not cover & even worst with so many unnecessary coats, there is an uneven colour on that spot compare to the rest of my face. In all - a big no no. I did not find this problem so far using the Cover Fx Powder.

***Note*** After numerous usage of this cream foundation, the base of where the product is gets all dirty with past old dirt & dust collected in the foundation itself. With that said, cleaning is necessary if you want to avoid anymore breakouts. 

RECOMMEND? - In comparison to the Cover Fx Powder, no. But for normal coverage, try it out at the store & see if it works for you. 
RATINGS OUT OF 10 - 6/10 (Cakiness of my acne spots, heavy feeling, thick, & dirt gets collected in the contained foundation)

DISCLAIMER: This review is base on my experience with these products & it might be a different result for you because of the various skin types. I am not being paid to review them (as much as that does sound good)

A smile a day keeps the problems away :)
