Total Cover Cream Foundation

I'll admit I don't NEED full coverage...but there are times where I want to dress up and look like the women in the 40's with their flawless polished pancake makeup skin. I'll admit that I still own Max Factor's Pan Cake Makeup but ever since using Cover Fx, I'm actually pretty grossed out by it. It's like reading Fast Food Nation after eating a delicious Big Mac.

That being said, you get an absolutely flawless finish from this and there's a shade for everyone. Being that I was a few steps away from the fairest tone, I was amazed by how wide the color variety is. It is very versatile and has the most buildable coverage of any foundation I've used. In fact, the real test was covering up my tattoo that covers about 1/2 my upper arm, which it passed with flying colors (no pun intended).

It's guilt free coverage. Whether you're going for a natural look to even your skintone, or for full coverage to cover well, anything, it never feels heavy or cakey and leaves your skin feeling supple and hydrated.

I've seen many tutorials for this product so I was excited for this full coverage foundation...which it does provide full coverage, but I look like I have tons of product on my face. It is extremely thick and covers very well, but even with lotions and primers- it settled in every crease and highlighted my wrinkle lines. I think I will use this as a spot concealer, but all over- no. It's not natural looking for me. Positive note- it didn't cause acne breakout.

These cream foundations are my go-to product when I need to create a flawless complexion for TV! A live tv studio (think newscasters) requires much different make-up than a film set or even high-fashion photoshoot. My magic formula to making this NOT CAKEY is to mix is directly with a primer on a palette and apply with a synthetic foundation brush. I set with a translucent powder using a puff and pat it in in a rolling motion so that you're really pressing the formula onto your skin while picking up an excess make-up as well.

I bless the day I was introduced to this foundation and I will never use anything else. It surprises me to see people who dislike this so much (although everyone's skin is different!), particularly when people say it's cakey. I have combination/oily skin, the T-zone of my face is basically an oil slick and my cheeks are quite dry. I've always run into the problem of full coverage foundations clinging to the dry patches on my cheeks, and even settling into the sides of my nose. However, this stuff applies like a dream. It evens out my skin tone, looks smooth, and I am able to sheer it out on days when I don't want to look *too* flawless. This product has some great skin-friendly ingredients, which is another one of the reasons I always reach for this.

For days that I need a full coverage foundation that is going to stay flawless for 15 hours then this is my go to! I've ever road tested this at Disneyland! My skin still looked great in photos at the end of the night with no touch ups and no foundation break down! It's quite buildable but with a damp beauty blender you can sheer it out and it I use it with the Cover fx cream foundation brush then I don't need any concealer. I also like to use p60 for a cream contour! It has spf 30 and I haven't notices any issues with flash back but I don't use this on set or for brides. I love that this is good for all skin types and because it does not contain the Inflammatory Five: gluten, mineral oil, fragrance, parabens or talc it won't cause break outs or skin congestion!

I don't use this as a foundation I use it as a concealer and it looks like perfection on my face when using the "cooking" method. Just complete makeup perfection. I'm talking butter ladies!

This is the best foundation I have tried to date! Perfect for summer months! It goes on smoothly & I apply with Goss Wayne buffing brush. Perfect complete coverage & feels like silk on your skin!

This was way less for your money. Honestly, I can get a concealer at the Dollar General that is way better. Way too over priced for such a dinky container and it doesn't come off your skin, it made my skin orange.

I like to use this when I'm running out the door because I can easily get the coverage I want with my beauty blender and very quickly. I have dry skin and this plus the beauty blender makes my skin feel dewy and refreshed. The only complaint I have is that I can't really use it on my eyelid area because it will crease even with powder so I have to add an extra step and I'll usually use my pro longwear concealer instead which never creases. If I'm doing an eyeshadow look I will usually do this anyway but if I'm just running out the door and I'm going to pop some brown in the crease I don't feel like adding an extra step and rather just use my foundation to give me the coverage I need in my eye area. The foundation looks very natural and the P10 color is perfect for my extremely fair skin. You can layer this effectively for more coverage but what I really like to do is just do one layer and then use it to spot conceal any blemishes or extra redness. Sometimes I use this as a concealer when I'm using other foundations, too. I have purchased this foundation twice now and I have owned a lot of foundations and rarely repurchase because I am so picky. Very easy to use product which is something I have learned to love because on some days I just don't feel like going all out on my makeup or I just woke up and I really, really want to go get a coffee but I don't feel like looking like a zombie.

The foundation itself is very good coverage and I know I would love it in the right shade. I usually where the lightest color shade. I checked many reviews and swatches to decide the color. So I ordered the lightest, N10, and it is too light for me is the only reason I give less stars. But I do like the foundation.
