Cover Girl Natureluxe Foundation
I am so excited to finally be writing this review for the new Natureluxe Liquid Silk Foundation by Cover Girl. I have been diligently testing this out for the past few weeks and I am finally ready to post a review!!!
My foundation "history":
I must start out by saying that I am just getting back into liquid foundations. For years, I have been using only a very light dusting of powder foundation as I don't need much coverage and don't like the "feel" of heavy makeup. But, with the winter weather, my dry skin has just been too dry to work well with my beloved MAC Studio Fix powder foundation (it has been accentuating dry areas). Thus began my quest to find a great liquid foundation. So far, I really have loved a sample of NARS Sheer Glow. But, I would rather not pay the $ for a high-end (HE) foundation if I could find something nice at the drugstore. Who dosn't want a bargain, right!?!?
What I am looking for in a foundation (This is a tall order, lol!):
- I need a foundation that works well with dry skin. One that doesn't emphasize dryness or cause flakiness.
- Sheer coverage. I like my natural skin to show through. I luckily don't have any major skin issues (no acne, no scarring) So, I really don't have much to cover. I just need something to subtly even out the skin tone (you know, those pinker areas by the nose and mouth). I have a problem with dark under eye circles, but I don't expect a foundation to correct that.
- A light feel. I would ideally like it to feel like I don't have any on. So, I really want a weightless quailty.
- Suitable for sensitive skin. My skin reacts to so many ingredients with irritation. I need to be particularly selective with foundations with sunscreens as many chemical sunscreens cause a reaction (itchy skin and redness) on my skin.
- While my pores are not "large" per se, I don't want a foundation that settles into my pores/nor emphasizes pores or fine lines.
