Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation Review For DRY Skin

Hey, everyone. Today I'm going to be doing a review on the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation. I know it's not the newest thing on the market, but I figured I would still do this because I have extremely dry skin, and I rarely find reviews out there written by people with really dry skin. Plus, sometimes I wait a while between foundation purchases, so I tend to try things out late when they're no longer the newest/hottest things on the market. Anyway, the point of this ramble is that I hope at least someone finds this review helpful. Let's get to it shall we?

Here is a picture of the foundation in the shade 810 Classic Ivory. It's not the perfect match per se. It's slightly too pink for me, and it tends to oxidize to a somewhat darker orange hue. However, I'm not the type who likes to mix and make concoctions to get my perfect color/consistency so I just deal with it lol.  I'm sure most of you are familiar with the packaging and consistency. It's a liquid foundation that isn't too watery, so application is mostly mess-free. However, some product likes to stay stuck to the pump, which after several uses makes the pump/cap incredibly dirty.(I've cleaned it off for photos.)

Here is a picture so you can see the texture and color swatch. Once again it isn't very runny like the Loreal Lumi. It looks fine freshly applied but within 10-15 minutes it starts to take on that orange hue. 

Here I am before(left) and after(right). I believe this foundation has a light to medium coverage.It can be built up, but with my dry skin it starts to look dry and cakey really fast, so I can do 1-1.5 layers at most. It's not translating very well in the photo but my dark spots are far from being covered especially on my chin and cheeks. I definitely would still need concealer if I were looking for full coverage. I will say that I like the finish (semi matte)and lasting power of this product. I recently went to Disneyland and decided to wear this because of the SPF 20 in it as well as how incredibly lightweight it is. It survived the entire sunny and scorching day without getting oily. As far as application is concerned, I do find it difficult to blend. Hands, paddle foundation brush, and sponge just don't seem to do the trick here. I find it blends best with a flat top kabuki brush. I use one by Everyday Minerals and find it works perfect alongside this foundation. It doesn't cling to dry spots or make my skin look overly dry. With dry skin, I don't recommend using powder since it won't be necessary. 

So there you have it, if you have dry skin, I say go for it. Oily skin gals will enjoy this too, however touch ups with a powder will probably be required. Of course if you're in the middle(normal/combo skin) I think you'll like this as well. 

Have you tried this foundation? What were your thoughts? 

Bottom Line: Impressed
