I put two pumps of it on my wrist, and that was even too much.
#Olay covergirl concealer skin
While it’s slightly chalky looking at first, it does blend into my skin after a bit. I just so happened to choose the perfect one, 220 Creamy Natural. I had to hold the bottom of the bottle up to my face in whatever mirror I could find to match my shade.
Walgreens had no open samples, and there were hardly any mirrors around. My biggest qualm with CoverGirl is they offer no resources to find your shade. Let’s put it this way, the Sephora foundation I like to use is only a little more expensive than this one. This foundation is a little more expensive than typical CoverGirl foundations - I paid $18. I bought this foundation at my local Walgreens. Buying the FoundationĬoverGirl is a very easy brand to find just about anywhere. Your face will look smooth and flawless, giving anyone a more youthful appearance. The foundation is made with ingredients such as vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, so your skin is hydrated and radiant. The CoverGirl website promises the foundation will give wearers a youthful glow and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. CoverGirl offers no resources to find your shade.A great foundation for mature skin and those with acne scars.While the True Match Crayon has slightly better coverage and is great for spot concealing, for the undereye area it’s not as moisturizing, doesn’t glide onto the skin as easily and isn’t as flattering as the CoverGirl concealers. If you’ve been searching for a drugstore undereye concealer, I think that the CG Smoothers concealer and CoverGirl + Olay Concealer Balm are both better options than the L’Oreal True Match Super Blendable Crayon Concealer that I reviewed earlier. normal, combo, oily) because it has a lighter texture, a flatter finish, and contains oil-absorbing ingredients that are lacking in the CG Smoothers concealer. I’d recommend the CG Smoothers concealer to people who have dry to very dry skin like mine because it has a dewier, glossier finish and feels more moisturizing.Īnd I would recommend the CoverGirl + Olay Concealer Balm for people with oilier skin types (i.e. I like both but prefer the CG Smoothers because I have very dry skin. Same amount of product, same price range, nearly identical packaging and similar formulas. If I were to use these concealers to spot conceal, the shade mismatch would be way too dark and obvious.Īll in all, they’re very similar concealers. Again, I’m talking about just the undereye area.
I don’t know why that is or if that’s the case for others, but in my experience undereye concealers that are a shade darker (especially ones that are pinker) than the rest of my face work well at neutralizing and concealing dark circles. Going lighter, even with color corrector underneath, only makes my dark circles look ashy. The shades I picked may seem a smidge dark for me but personally I’ve found that going darker rather than lighter in the undereye area conceals dark circles better. Note: I don’t use these concealers to spot conceal I use them solely in the undereye area. Yellow-based concealers tend to look ashier on my dark circles. Personally, I prefer a pinker concealer because I feel that works better at concealing, correcting, and brightening. It’s only when I swatched and used the Concealer Balm that the differences in formula became more obvious.Īs you can see from the swatches, the CG Smoothers Concealer runs pink whereas the CoverGirl + Olay Concealer Balm is more yellow.
