OH SO FABULOUS

The CoverGirl cosmetics line was founded in 1958 in Baltimore, Maryland by the Noxema Chemical Company.  It was later purchased by Procter & Gamble in 1989.  Over the years, Covergirl has produced many foundations, and this new foundation is truly amazing.

CoverGirl's Outlast Stay Fabulous is a 3 in 1 foundation.  What does this mean?  It means the foundation has a primer, concealer and blendable foundation all in one bottle.  It even offers sun protection with an SPF of 20.  The shades of the foundation are true in my opinion.

This past Sunday I decided to put the foundation on and see if it was as wonderful as the ads claim it to be.  I read somewhere that one person compared the foundation to Kat Von D's Lock-It foundation.  This was not the case.  The Lock-It foundation offers full coverage.  CoverGirl's  Outlast Stay Fabulous foundation offers medium coverage.  This particular foundation is also buildable.  If you need a little more in some areas don't be afraid to add more.

The finish of the foundation was very natural looking and not cakey like some other foundations.  The consistency was thin and light.  I achieved the best results when I used a dampened sponge.  The foundation goes on smoothly when used with a primer.  I was able to achieve a finished look which had a luminous, yet matte finish.  When I tried to work without a primer, the end results were not very natural looking.

 CoverGirl's Outlast Stay Fabulous is not scented.  So those with sensitive skin or allergies have one less thing to worry about.  The product comes in pump form and not in a tube.  I found that this foundation lasted pretty much all day on me, and washed off easily when it came time to take it off.

After doing a little research about this product, I found something that will soothe the minds of those with oily skin and those who have problems with their pores.  Those with oily skin who used the CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous stated the foundation lasted about six hours before a retouch was needed.  Those users with problems with their pores claimed their pores were not noticeable.  Users with normal skin reported they needed to blot one time during the day.  For women with extra dry skin, you may want to use your favorite moisturizer under this foundation to achieve that perfect look.  In my opinion, especially from someone with very dry skin, using the moisturizer under the foundation had an excellent payoff.

Normally I purchase my foundations from Sephora.  I do not usually buy my foundation outside of Sephora, because I am afraid the foundation  may not be up to par with the foundations at Sephora.  This time I was pleasantly surprised.  CoverGirl's Outlast Stay Fabulous was great!  It exceeded my expectations by giving me great coverage without looking too cakey, a natural appearance which at the same time was luminous.  I may just have to purchase it again.

CoverGirl's Outlast Stay Fabulous retails for $9.00 - $13.00 depending on the retailer.  It may be purchased at your local drugstore, Wal-Mart and Target.
