Covergirl outlast stay fabulous 3 in 1 foundation has finally made its way to Australia about a month or two ago. It retails for $19.95 at priceline which is not too bad compared to Revlon's colorstay ($34.95) and you can always wait until they have promotions.
It claims that it has a 'Lasting power of primer, coverage of a concealer and blendability of a foundation in one. Shine free.', and it has SPF 20.
Unfortunately, there are only 6 shades available for now. I got the colour in 825 Buff beige, which is a tiny bit light for me and a tiny bit pink for me after oxidising, since I have a really yellow undertone.
Blendability & Finish
It blends really well into my skin and dries up in less than 30 seconds after I applied it to my whole face. I usually hate how foundations takes forever to dry but this foundation feels like I have already applied powder onto my face. It's amazing!
I'm usually not a liquid foundation person because I hate it how you can feel there's a layer on your skin, but then all the reviews that I read were praising this foundation, so I gave in. AND I LOVE IT!
Lasting power
Most of the time I prefer powder foundation over liquid foundation because liquid can sometimes make me face looking a bit dewy after a while and I can feel even it when I touch my face and I'm someone who prefer a matte finish. This covergirl foundation really does control my shines, I can only feel my face getting a bit oily after 6-7 hours and I don't really have to blot until 8 hours later and I can still see my foundation sitting nicely on my face. It's only after 12 hours later I can see my foundation looking a bit patchy.
Coverage
I drew a '3' with a black liquid eyeliner to test out the coverage and yep it is definitely a high coverage foundation and definetly build-able and still wont look thick or patchy.
Pros
- high coverage
- light weight
- matte finish (if you like it)
- easily blended
- long lasting (8 hours)
- dries up within 30 seconds
- doesn't have a strong scent
- comes with a pump!
Cons
- limited shades in Australia
- It does leave a white cast on your face when you're taking flashed photography :(
I've used Revlon's colorstay previously and I would say Revlon's coverage is a bit better, but covergirl has a longer lasting power and it feels super light on your skin.
For referencing, I have combination, acne prone skin and I got heaps of scars on my forehead and my right cheek.
For applying, I used my beauty blender which gives is a light and natural finish.
This foundation concealed my scars quite well and I only need a bit of concealer to cover some really dark scars. It also didn't break me out yeahhhhhh :)
Therefore I love it!!!!!!!
