Foundations Full, Medium and Light Coverage

1. Covergirl NatureLuxe (1 oz)

• This foundation gives light to medium coverage and has a semi-matt finish. The packaging has a twist of cap and is a squeeze tube. I like this because distributing the product is simple and easy to control, but you can't see how much product you have used in the tube. Covergirl claims this has jojoba extract, cucumber water, SPF 10, and gives flawless coverage with out feeling heavy. This foundation is more of a cream foundation then a liquid and is very rich. It is blend-able and gives a cooling feeling to the skin. I like to apply this with my fingers, because is so thick and a brush or sponge don't move it around effectively. This is a moisturizing product that I would only use in the winter because I have oily skin. If you have dry skin this could be an all year foundation.   

2. Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 (1 oz)

•  Covergirl claims that this foundation has lasting power of a primer, coverage of a concealer, and blend-ability of a foundation. It gives full coverage, and is matt when it setts. The consistency is a liquid but more on the cream side, it is not runny at all. This foundation covers basically everything on my face. If you have acne it will conceal the redness, and it also is pretty good under the eyes. I find that this foundation lasts all day on my oily skin, and doesn't break me out. The packaging is a glass bottle with a PUMP! The only down side is sometimes you get too much product (just put it on your jawline, neck or ears). Another great thing is has an SPF of 20 which is pretty good for a drugstore foundation.

3. Maybelline Fit Me (1 oz)

• This is a light coverage foundation that claims to give a natural look and feel. It has SPF 18, no waxes, or oils. It comes in a glass bottle with a twist of cap, and you pour the product to distribute. This is a step up from a tinted moisturize, and gives subtle coverage and doesn't give you the fake skin look. It is not a long lasting foundation and it does melt away. It needs to be touched up and set with a powder. The consistency is very liquidy and runny but, easy to blend so I don't mind it. This is an effortless foundation that takes seconds to apply and looks natural.  This is a good skin day foundation.

4. Covergirl Clean Pressed Powder, Oil Control

• This powder is designed to soak up oil on your face so it is perfect to keep in your bag for touch ups. I find that this is the ultimate blotting powder. Has a click closure that should be opened on its side. It has a mirror in the compact and comes with a powder puff. The coverage is light but, buildable. It can get a little cakey if over applied. This can be used on its own to soak up oil on your face and give light coverage.

5. Maybelline Dream Matt Mousse

• This is a mousse makeup that gives matt to semi-matt finish and medium coverage. It comes in a twist off cap tub made of glass. The mousse is very smooth, and airy. When blended into the skin it can give it a slippery feel, not oily but, just very silky. I think that this is best when set with a translucent powder. Though this foundation is very matt it doesn't last all day on my skin because it is so velvety. I would only use this in the winter or when I know I won't need to touch up my face. This foundation has no SPF which is disappointing.

6. Garnier BB Cream Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfecter.

• This BB cream claims to do 5 miracles in 1, evens tone, hydrates, renews, protects, and brightens. These claims are crazy because no tinted moisturizer which is what this is can do all that. The product comes is a squeeze tube, with a flip off cap. It has a thick consistency and gives very light coverage. This product feels nice on the skin but enhances my oily skin. It barely gave any coverage it was basically just a moisturizer. This blends easily mostly because it has no to little pigment. It was ok when it was set with a powder but, it still wasn't good enough for me to like it. Because, it has so little pigment it only comes in two shades light/medium and medium/dark. This could be good for someone who doesn't wear makeup but needs a moisturizer with a little bit of pigment.

7. Maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder

• This is pressed powder that barely has any pigment and could be called translucent. It comes in large bulky square plastic packaging. This does absorb oil well, but isn't the best blotting powder. It is good for setting a full coverage foundation when you just want to get a matt look without extra coverage. I like this powder because it never gets cakey not matter how much I apply.
