Covergirl Natureluxe Silk Foundation

Covergirl Natureluxe foundation is a perfect match for me since it comes in alabaster shade. I have noticed that it scented.  I would describe it as a clean scent, its very faint and not overpowering at all, but I did want to mention that since I know some do not like scented make-up.

Before Make-Up

Please ignore the goofy look on my face and the side views. Until I figure out how to do lighting better side views work best for what I'm trying to show.

This is one coat of the foundation applied lightly, I love how smooth and easy it goes on.   It is super light in feeling but still provides excellent coverage.   My skin is actually doing pretty well here so there isn't much difference in the pictures, but you can see that it helped even out my skin and took out some of the redness from my acne.

Please ignore my eyeshadow, I played with several different foundations this night. I promise I fix my shadow before leaving the house :).  Since my skin is pretty clear I only applied one layer for a light coverage.  If I need more coverage I'll apply a little extra.  It does very well even when I'm experiencing my random break outs (I have no idea why I've still got acne in my 20's).

Full Make-UP

Again please ignore my silly expressions.  I promise I'm not a mad or mean person :).  The redness that show up in these pictures is the little bit of sun I got. I didn't want to put on enough foundation to cover that since I figured the little bit of color looks good, though I don't usually tan on purpose (who could be this pale if they did) lol.

Bottom Line


This foundation is perfect for me because of the match and coverage.  The coloring/match of the foundation is similar if not identical to L'oreal's true match foundation (I wear Alabaster c1 in that brand).  I would definitely recommend this foundation, as it is great for the very fair like myself.  I did also notice there are a variety of shades offered, hopefully there is one for you too :).

Loreal True Match

Loreal True Match was my first liquid foundation  that I've actually liked.(I tried liquid foundation for years but never could find the right shade for my skin--once I found bareMinerals I stuck with it for a long time).  TM comes in cool, warm, and neutral for the perfect match.  I finally figured out that I am a cool undertone, which means I have pink undertones.  I wear the lightest shade c1 which is alabaster.

My skin is actually pretty good here but I did have some redness from the sun.  The foundation does a good job to cover this and even out my skin.

Sorry about how uneven the pictures are side by side.  This is foundation only, I think it takes the redness away from my acne and does well at evening out skin.

Full Make-Up

A few pictures with various lighting to show coverage.

(It does match on my forehead just the picture that makes it look that way).

Bottom Line

I highly recommend this foundation, with so many shades there truely is a color for everyone.  For those struggling with matching I would suggest going to a department store/make-up counter to determine you skin tone type (warm, cool, or neutral) and then determine the shade of your skin (fair, light, med. etc). 

Thanks for reading :)
