Custom Cover Drops (Retired)

Finally, a company out there that gets it. That skin tones come in a multitude of beautiful shades and like so, skin types range from (seemingly) perfect to problematic. And while customizable foundation is certainly nothing new, cover fx drops is certainly the result of smart and forward thinking -and not just because of its unique versatility. While I love the fact that I can add this to almost anything in my skin care "apothecary", I am most appreciative of the fact that I can now easily blend my foundation color with spot-on accuracy. I purchased two colors (a warm yellow based and a neutral-cool red based) for my skin tone because I knew that, despite the effort, cover fx would not have one color for me. I think for most people, this will be the case, unless you are lucky enough to have one flat skin color that doesn't change with age or vary from season to season. Yes, this is a pricey product, but definitely worth it. It is potently pigmented and will last quite a while because there is so much you can do with it and so little that is needed. Though it is not intended this way, I actually prefer wearing it alone on my moisturized skin - I've had no problems whatsoever. Two drops yield impeccable, all-day coverage with little need for concealer or color correcting. And sometimes, it stops there. The color and coverage I can blend for my face is so natural looking that I am totally comfortable walking around in public like the bared faced beauty I've always wished I could be. This has instantly become my holy grail product, and while there are other fantastic formulations out there, I don't know that I will find another product that offers so much control.

This thing is horrid! I'm used to working with difficult foundations, but this is something else. Everything I used it with wound up looking chalky and unnatural no matter how little or how much I used. Like I said I'm used to using difficult products with a learning curve like my Kevyn Aucoin SSE that took me forever to master, but I love. The different between this and the SSE being the complete lack of undertones. Where the SSE is so pigment packed that mixing it with something else doesn't disturb the undertones, they disappear here depending on the colour of what you mix it with, and how thick it is. As a bonus I got a lovely breakout from it to. No thanks.
