UPDATED REVIEW: COVERGIRL OUTLAST 3-IN-1 FOUNDATION



So I've been using the Covergirl Outlast 3-IN-1 foundation for a little bit now and I'm sad to say my feelings for this foundation have changed drastically. Let me tell you why..

1. COVERAGE: I think I was a little jaded when I first reviewed this foundation. I thought it was full coverage but it really isn't. Maybe it's because now I have more break outs thanks to this foundation? Yes, this foundation has broken me out. I didn't want to believe it was the foundation so I continued to use it then soon realized it didn't cover any acne/redness on my face at all. It almost looked as though I had put a BB cream on my face. I had to use concealer in order to cover any blemishes.

2. LASTING POWER: Without a little extra help from concealer, this foundation begins to fade throughout the day. I've never had that problem with other foundations before. I don't know why. It seems as though this foundation like really sinks into your pores. (Possibly the reason for causing my break outs?)

3. THE FOUNDATION GETS DARKER? Yes, the foundation gradually gets darker as it sets into my skin. So much for taking all that time out to pick the perfect shade I guess? I feel like as the foundation sets it gets a shade or two darker from when I first apply it. It's awesome if I would have gotten a color too light for my skin tone but unfortunately that was not the case.


RE-CONSENSUS: 
My bad. I pretty much just contradicted everything I said in my initial review of this foundation but I felt the need to correct myself. I guess that goes to show you should actually use a product consistently for awhile before reviewing it lol. I was just so taken aback by how great it was the first time I applied it until now where I'm not happy with it. My main issue is that it has broken me out which sucks for me because I don't just get one little pimple I get a TON. I think I am going to try out a different foundation that I've heard some hype about so stay tuned!

  1. I think it's great that you put up an updated review! Sometimes our initial thoughts change the more that we use something. I hate when foundations get so much darker once they settle on the skin - makes your perfect applied makeup suddenly look all wrong!
