CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation

Growing up I had two older sisters who I absolutely adored. Both of which were fairly older than me. So naturally, I wanted to copy everything they did--wear the same clothes, shop at the same stores, talk on the phone with boys (although my parents were not very supportive of that notion). Needless to say, I picked up a few of their habits, specifically wearing makeup.

It's true. I've been wearing makeup since middle school. Granted, I started out applying clear mascara and clear lipgloss but my habit quickly escalated to testing my mother's liquid foundation and figuring out which shade of blush fit my skin tone. Thus, my love for makeup and all things beauty was born.

And now here I am. The product in question is described as "Lasting Power of primer, coverage of concealer and blendability of foundation in one. Shine Free."  Let's investigate.

 1. I chose "creamy neutral," the second to lightest shade, as I tend to pick foundations that are a shade or two darker than my skin tone.

2.  I was afraid "creamy neutral" would be a bit too light for me but it fits my skin tone perfectly. 

3. It blends and builds nicely for full coverage. This photo is after I blended it into the back of my hand. It feels light on my skin, honestly like I have no makeup on at all. 

 4. This is after about 30 minutes of wear. It creates a nice even tone. Not too much shine.

The only con I could think of is the packaging. I would not give this a high grade. When I picture myself walking through the makeup aisles of Target, I don't see this product catching my interesting. But since it has gotten great reviews and is fairly inexpensive, I decided to give it a go.

Something to keep in mind. It has SPF 20 in it, which is great for protecting your skin but it does create an oily shine in night time photos. So if you're going to wear it for date night/a night out with the girls, I suggest a matte powder finish to avoid reflective shine in photos.
