![]() With this foundation I only notice a minimal amount of breakdown on my nose even after 8 hours. My t-zone usually starts breaking foundations down around the 4 – 6 hour mark. I have pretty oily skin and this holds up really well all day long. It looks really natural with just a touch of a glow. It gives my skin a nice demi-matte finish. I really love the coverage and finish of this foundation, even more so than the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation. It still evens out my skin but covers redness and imperfections less. ![]() It also works well when applied with the Beauty Blender but you get a lighter, semi-sheer coverage. When applied with a brush, I get nice medium coverage that easily covers any redness and imperfections. But, I only have the one foundation and, at this time, I don’t know if I would repurchase it because I am really happy with my CoverGirl Clean foundation, and it’s not like I’m cheating on the brand.I’ve been using this foundation for a few weeks now and have found that I like to apply it with a foundation brush instead of the Beauty Blender. I use the concealer semi-regularly, so I have one or two unopened ones stashed in my drawer so I don’t have to worry about running out. This foundation retails at $7.90, and the concealer retails at $6.65, so these are lovely value products, and since they are available in drug stores, they often go on sale so you can scoop them up at a good price. However, this foundation has a much wider range of shades that other CoverGirl foundations, which is really nice because it is so annoying when you want to try a product and it doesn’t come in a shade that matches your skin tone. But apparently this foundation actually wicks oil and sweat away from your skin to avoid shine instead of letting all of these little nasties stay trapped under the foundation, so that is nice. So the real question for me was how does this foundation differ from CoverGirl’s other ones? I personally like the CoverGirl Clean foundation better than this one because, though it is wetter and therefore a bit messier to apply, it feels much lighter on my skin than the Ready Set Gorgeous one. So just as a little warning, remember that these packages are plastic and therefore can break. I couldn’t get it open one day so I harnessed my inner Hulk strength and I ended up breaking it. I did have an unfortunate incident with my concealer though where I cracked the lid. The concealer comes with a sponge-tipped wand, making it really easy to apply on imperfections or on dark circles. ![]() What I love about this foundation-concealer pairing is that the shades are numerically matched for you so you don’t have to test out concealers on the back of your hand in the store to find one that most closely matches your favourite foundation. The foundation shades range from Classic Ivory 105 to Soft Sable 320, covering a wide variety of skin tones, while the concealer shades range from Fair 105/110 Deep 315/220. Plus, it does an excellent job of battling shine. This foundation offers good medium coverage and conceals a multitude of imperfections without looking heavy on the face.
