Cover FX Foundation Showdown - BB, CC, and Powder #CoverFX

Cover FX products provided for review, It Cosmetics purchased by me.  All opinions are my own.

Hello, Fireflies!

I've been a fan of Cover FX for a while now.  I love that their makeup is also skincare, and they understand my aging, yet oily, skincare needs.  I decided to do three looks - one with each foundation, and the same Cover FX base products, and then use one of my other makeup/skincare brands, IT Cosmetics, to finish the looks!

First things, first.  Bare-faced pix, so you can see what I'm starting with.  I have some freckles and sun damage, some pimples, and larger pores on my cheeks that I want to cover, but still have a natural look. 

First up, Cover FX BB Gel in P light/medium, applied over Cover FX Illuminating Primer, with the Cover FX foundation brush, dampened with Mario Badescu Rosewater, and buffed in.

The BB Gel is a thinner formula than the CC Cream, and takes a minute to dry down to a matte finish after application.  The BB Gel contains clay and blemish-fighting ingredients to treat while it covers.

And, here's the finished look, using Cover FX Blemish Treatment Concealer and Anti-Age Eye Primer, as well as  IT Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Celebration palette, Live Love Laugh Vitality Face Disc, the powder from the CC+ Radiance palette, Tightline mascara, Universal Brow pencil, and Rose Flush Vitality lip stain. I also used NARS finishing powder.

This next look is with the Cover FX CC Cream Time Release Tinted Treatment SPF 30 in P light/medium, applied over Cover FX Illuminating Primer, with the Cover FX foundation brush, dampened with Mario Badescu Rosewater, and buffed in.

When I want a little more coverage, I reach for this CC Cream.  It's heavier and more easily buildable than the BB Gel, and instead of fighting blemishes, this formula focuses on anti-aging, with licorice root extract.

And, here's the finished look, using Cover FX Blemish Treatment Concealer and Anti-Age Eye Primer, as well as  IT Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Vol 1 palette, Live Love Laugh Vitality Face Disc, the powder from the CC+ Radiance palette, Tightline mascara, Universal Brow pencil, and Rose Flush Vitality lip stain.

The final look is with Cover FX Pressed Mineral Foundation in P30, applied over Cover FX Illuminating Primer, and buffed in with a powder foundation brush.  This foundation absorbs oil, but never looks cakey.  Currently, it's my favorite foundation for light, even coverage with a quickness. 

The last finished look, using Cover FX Blemish Treatment Concealer and Anti-Age Eye Primer, as well as  IT Cosmetics LE Naturally Pretty Essentials palette, Tightline mascara, Universal Brow pencil, No-Tug Gel Eyeliner in Black/Brown, and Pretty Woman Vitality lip stain.

If you're looking for makeup that not only makes your skin look better, but also BE better, I don't think you can do better than Cover FX.  They have a large range of colors, and products that target lots of different skincare concerns.
