I Tested Covergirl's Most Expensive Product EVER

[@carolschneider1404]

Applying this on your hand first as a sheer water based product means you lose a lot of potential product and coverage. And something so sheer and light does not need a sponge to go over it again imo leading to even more loss. I have both of these foundations and you get best results applying to the face with fingertips then blending in with a dense brush. I’m definitely in the covergirl zone

[@Jo-nh4vw]

I agree. I think you can even see on her hand when she blends it more coverage there than on the face.

[@wrjckt]

I agree, it is common sense

[@dianesoan3894]

Thank you for the advise

[@sarahfromtexas]

Yeah, I'm betting there's a lot more product on her hand than face.

[@g.970]

The rep at the Chanel counter told me to mix it on the back of my hand and not on my face

[@rosemaryyates2154]

I’ve been using the Cover Girl for about two weeks. I really love it! Initially, I use my fingers to blend pigments, then blend (with fingers) onto my face. Then, I press the foundation into my skin with a dry sponge. Looks SO good. I think application makes a huge difference with this product.

[@laurapotpie]

I love it!!! and found the best combo -I wanted a little bit more colour to my skin that day so I did a layer of the L'Oréal (?) glotion For some glow, then I used this on top and it was beautiful.

[@angelicarousiaki1316]

this is an appreciation post for the new camera and the amazing resolution.I can see everything on your face and how the product you use works on it.And when you tried both of the products on your hand wow.This is what I need on a make up video to make me purchase the product

[@janissarywalker6312]

I agree! The camera resolution is amazing and the composition was great too.

[@g.970]

I use the Chanel foundation and I love it. I don’t use foundation every day so it lasts a long time. I don’t like a heavy coverage. So it’s perfect to help your skin look natural. It doesn’t settle in my wrinkles at all. I’ll keep spending $70 since it lasts me about a year. I just wish it didn’t have fragrance

[@Luvandblessings]

Hi Allie you said there were other skin tints that you could use at a better price point than these in the video. Can you do a video on which skin tints you would recommend. I would love to know.

[@PoochuTheHunter]

I have the Chanel one & I adore it despite the price point. I like that it comes with a high end brush. I recommend putting the product directly on the face or brush, not on the back of your hand as you don’t want to lose the pigments. It’s perfect for a no makeup look while visibly blurring evening & brightening the skin. I also tried it on my 58 year old mom & it works brilliantly on her too.

[@roxannsnowden615]

I mean it's nice that it comes with a brush... But also wasteful if you get one every time you buy it

[@faithlanthier3350]

Thank you for highlighting how EXPENSIVE the covergirl foundation is. Of course inflation is a thing, but that price tag is on par with Sephora foundation prices ($20)! Expensive drugstore foundations should not be normalized

[@taranullius9221]

You would really not deal with living in Australia. The L'Oreal tinted serum thing is $44.99 full price (about $US30). We still haven't even got that Balm thing yet. Revlon Illuminance is $42.99. The only foundation I can think of you'd get for $US20 at Sephora is LYS. Even Sephora Collection costs more than that here. ELF getting uppity charging $30 for their Charlotte Tilbury rip offs. Covergirl is cheaper but they're not on my radar because they don't bother to bring in the lightest shades. They don't go over 6 shades here.

[@norcalbetty1]

It is significantly less at Walmart and target

[@xqueenfrostine]

@@norcalbetty1 it’s always so weird to me that Beauty KZbinrs always quote Ulta prices, when it’s well known that Ulta prices their drugstore items high! I never buy my budget cosmetics there unless it’s a brand I can’t easily source elsewhere.

Considering the Chanel foundation is $90 here (which is my holy grail product I'm actually running low right now), I'm excited to see if the Covergirl one is comparable at all because I'll be saving $70 if so!

[@daviscg54]

I have the Chanel but I will try the Covergirl as well. I use this Chanel foundation as a touch up at the end of the day. This tint covered my existing foundation and gave me a fresh revitalized look for an after work meal, movie or event. I would love to know if anyone else tried using it like this and did it work for them as well. It was an accidental hack for me and it worked great.

[@SharrellKline]

I am so excited about this dupe because I have worn the Chanel product since 2017, and now that I'm retired, the price tag is painful. If the Cover Girl is even 90% close, and it sounds like it is, if I can get my hands on it here in Mexico where I'm retired, I will have found my holy grail replacement! Happy dance! Nothing has ever come close to the Chanel for me. Am I 64-year-old skin loves it.

[@xamyx725]

I actually like the CoverGirl a bit more… I found it on Amazon, if they ship to Mexico.

[@susanmcewan5759]

Hello. I bought the Chanel and I love it. I finished the whole bottle and repurchased, which is very unusual for me. I buy it a few shades darker in the summer when I have a tan and it makes yr skin look flawless. New products come out all the time of course but I can see me wearing this for years to come. 😊 Love your channel Allie ❤

[@courtneybuyseverythinggg]

I absolutely love the cover girl version. I’ve been wearing it most days and I use my hands to blend it out. I add additional on my cheeks and use a pore filing primer on those problem areas and it seems to work great! Thank for your review. Love your videos!

[@hannahjacobs3416]

I think you might get more coverage if you do the blending directly on the face, that’s how I’ve seen other influencers do it and it did seem like higher coverage that way

[@Lillianna11]

Chanel came out with a newer version of this that has a smaller round bottle with more coverage. Called water fresh complexion Touch. But same consistency and it’s gorgeous!!! Not suggesting you buy that one, BUT it does have more coverage and is gorgeous on the skin!

[@Titeabi]

I was going to bring this one up as well! Smaller bottle and NO perfume which was the reason I got it in the first place. And I loove it, it feels so light on the skin, but the coverage feels substantial without any oil or heavy consistency, and the color match for a fair neutral skin is brilliant. But people have said these two Chanel foundation are actually quite different. I might just go in store and feel the difference myself now - I am curious xD

[@Persefone94]

Ideed. The Touch is amaaazing!

[@mariaana7579]

i have that one and the waterfresh tint ,both are good. i also use them both if i need more coverage .sometimes 1 pump is even enough on the round bottle coz it has more coverage ,but will not look cakey. the square bottle i like it when i just want to look polish ,but not too made up . I might try this covergirl once i run out .

[@eajeska]

You know what would've been fun? If someone else applied the two skin tints for you, without you knowing which was which...then giving your feedback along the way and finding out at the very end which side wore which product.

I can’t stop using the Covergirl product. It looks like skin, and it feels and looks fresh and has surprisingly good coverage. Also, on a whim I dabbed a tiny amount on top of my color corrector and concealer (bad dark circles), and it improved the coverage and brightness, but it didn’t look like I had a 3rd layer on at all and there was no caking/creasing, and I feel like I discovered under eye gold.

[@carolinasullivan123]

Brilliant idea! ❤

[@chericoffman6321]

Allie love your manicure! Since I am 55, I prefer lighter foundations because they are less aging in terms of appearance, IMHO. I would pay $21 for the Covergirl before I would pay $70 for Chanel.

[@merrilew]

At 61, I agree with you. Less is more

[@brgreens]

Hi, Allie! I am 60 and have begun to have trouble with my foundation over the last year or two. I’ve tried so many, pretty much all higher end formulas. Everything kept seeming to be too thick and emphasize any dryness and wrinkles😅 I bought the Chanel Water Fresh Tint several months ago and I adore it! Sometimes I add a tiny bit of Dior Forever Glow (or Nars Radiant) and press in with a sponge in the center of my face for a little more coverage, but not usually. I usually use my fingers, because I’m scared I’ll waste it if I blend too much with a brush before applying. I guess I need to give that another try, and maybe buy the full size Chanel brush. I enjoyed your review! I would love to see you try the Watwr Fresh Blush, as well! It’s pricey, too, but it seems like it would last forever. I’m just a little unsure, as I don’t do really well applying cream or liquid blush, as much as I’d like to use them. A lesson in best brushes and application techniques with the watery Chanel blush would be helpful! Thank you! ❤

I bought this before it went viral... like when it very first came out. The first time I tried it I think it just didn't work well with the primer I was using. So I tried the skindavia primer and of course used a brush to apply it and I really liked it. I'm 58 with dry, mature skin and although it didn't give a great amount of coverage, I was pleased with the way my skin looked. I plan on buying another bottle when I run out of the one I have.

Hi I'm Catherine. I have the Rose Inc. as well and I didn't like it but maybe I was applying it incorrectly. How do you like it?

[@shannonguinn9837]

I use a dense, stipple style brush and follow up with a sponge if needed - it's light in coverage. Sometimes I need to pop the pigment bubbles with my finger on the back of my hand before picking up with my brush.

Thank you I'll give that a try.

[@briannamassey5150]

@@catherineelizabeth2108I’ll also give a tip that worked really well for me with the Rose inc tint is to only do downward strokes with my dense foundation brush when applying.

[@Halloweenlover10.31]

I remember when this Chanel one came out and I wasn't at all interested bc at that time I felt like skin tints didn't have enough coverage for me. Recently when I started hearing about this Covergirl I didn't really remember the Chanel. After hearing ppl raving about the CG (before I started hearing comparisons) I looked for the CG but only saw in 1 store and no lighter shades left. I've since watched a couple comparisons and am really happy seeing you do it. I e loved Chanel foundations for years and actually really enjoy their fragrance in them. Also, lately I've started liking my coverage to be more natural and lighter so I'm surprised that I'm now wanting to pick up the Chanel. While like you said, they're similar enough to go drugstore, and tbh if the comparison was a different brand I probably would but Chanel has always been my favorite high end beauty brand. Tyvm for your thoughts. ❤

[@brunodinora9283]

I love this formula and I use the Rose Inc Skin Tint one. It took me a while to figure out but if you use a greasy moisturizer or SPF, because those skin tints are water-based, it makes the pigment not adhere completely to the skin, especially around the nose and smile lines. The tip would be to back down on your skincare prep or use it on those days you just want to look cute but have nowhere to go ahaha

[@velcro-is-a-rip-off]

You have dry skin in those areas and reducing skincare/prep is the opposite of what you should do, actually

[@brunodinora9283]

If you have dry skin, you should prep your skin with a good moisturizer yes and maybe avoid these skin tints? go for a hydrating one. I said what I said because oil and water-based products don't mix, or don't last on the skin if not applied properly.

[@MJinFlorida]

I tested the CG today and it’s a nice tinted skincare-forward product that is pretty forgiving with imperfections. Good for my day to day running around - holds up pretty well in humidity - but not to be considered a makeup foundation

[@angeladavis3491]

I’d say the cooling effect is because it’s water-based. When it’s on your warm skin, evaporation happens, taking your body heat away as it occurs. Same concept as why sweating cools you and why you’re cold when you get out of a pool on a hot summer day.

Allie I was wondering if you'd mind when checking close up in the little hand held mirror, could you turn your head slightly to the side and check this way so the mirror doesn't cover your face so much? I've noticed this a few times more recently, possibly because I've just binge watched your channel all the way back to when Tylan did your makeup tutorial and those kinds of videos (which were so funny by the way) and you used to check your close ups sideways. I hope this makes sense. Love love love your channel, and I love that you can now zoom in easier with the new set up. Makes the eye tutorials even better.

Thank you for this review of comparison. I’m tempted to try the CG version. As a mua, I receive products many products and this Chanel product has been one of them. To me this is not a foundation but a bronzing cream. I remember my mother using them in the 1970s. I love the Chanel product which I use on myself because as a man it gives me a healthier aspect to my skin which remains unnoticeable as makeup. As you say, it’s quite pricey and I’m intrigued by the skin care ingredients in the CG version. Thanks again for this review because living in France, I didn’t know about the dupe… 😊😊

Use your fingers to apply the cover girl. Im very picky about foundation...i have oily skin but can have dry spots at the same time and this foundation is REMARKABLE! Might be the best one I've ever tried from the drugstore.

Hi, Allie! Just wanted to say that I really appreciate your new rating sistem and the check-ins being filmed on your pro camera. 😊

Omgosh you’re so naturally beautiful, you don’t need makeup at all. You can just stop with the foundation and put nothing else.
