This is actually one of my favorite drugstore foundations.

[@kimberlyplayer]

Do you use the primer as well? I'm not find of the foundation, it seems but the primer looks like something I'd use.

[@lilyliss33]

(I’m not trying to sound rude hear me out with the first sentence lol) I know this foundation is aimed for older people but I am 17 and I have to say that this foundation is seriously amazing it’s great for my winter skin ❤️❤️❤️

[@goow]

Not rude at all! They totally market it toward the older crowd but in most cases what that means is it's more moisturizing and more smoothing - which can look great on anybody! I'm glad it works for you! Happy new year!

[@cattailer1077]

Thanks for your revew🥰

[@foxytina7696]

I love this foundation. Light coverage. I do lightly set it with powder especially around the t-zone. I like the simply ageless cream foundation when I want slightly more coverage. I don’t use the primer. I’m 60.

[@karenpatton7171]

That's interesting! This is my holy grail foundation ( I was semi laid off the first 6 months of COVID so I went foundation hunting - I'm a drugstore gal lol). Anyway, I find this formula to be at least medium coverage. Could be the primer I use, but I get great coverage. I feel like my pores and acne scars are no match for ANY product,, but this comes close. I love it!! I'm a brush user, never powder and I'm 53! Great stuff!

[@codybear4you]

This one applies really nice with the hands. Which is nice for when I am in a rush. I have mostly dry skin as well and omg this is a wonderful option. Side note. I’m 32 and I love using it. Age is just a number.

Age is definitely just a number!

I use this on after retin A nights. It fights the peelung very well , stays moist all day. 67 yr old skin!

The other things that i am so committed to is Cerave skin renewing night cream. It is in their purple group. Check their website. Its is the most hydrating cream i have ever used. My skin is still moist in the morning. Hard to find at the drugstore but good ole amazon!

[@amymattaliano7634]

Thank you for posting this video. I'm currently 40 and looking for options for better foundation and primer than what I've been using. The brands I've been using are great and have done me very well over the years. But I think it's time for me to look beyond what I've used. I saw a few other video reviews for this product. But your video is by far the best and most accurate. I feel like I really learned from this video and gained something from it. Also, the fact that you applied primer before the foundation stands out to me. In other videos, the users didn't use primer at all then had complaints. I also appreciated that you used the corresponding primer. Although perhaps the primer and foundation, since they're both hydrating, was too much moisture, and that's why the makeup felt tacky. Either way, thank you for this video. It definitely opened my eyes.

[@lynntomk]

Finally! Some foundation for the old broads. (I'm over 60) Going to give it a try. Good video! Back in the day Cover Girl was it and it was heavy so I'm coming home, ha, ha.

😂 Thank goodness for advancement of foundation technologies! :-D

[@grannygrunt5211]

I'm 69 almost and I work cover girl for years when I was younger and even in my forties and I just loved it and my 50s.... And I got away from it for some reason I don't know if they changed the formula of it or if my skin changed it was probably my skin I'm going to go back and try it....

Excellent! (Yep I know it's two in the song... but on my clock it was 3... and it just made me think of the song). I was just wondering if they were still kicking it! All of my old favorites are doing reunion tours now it seems!

[@JandCDoodles]

4 years later.....lol I am 58 and JUST started wearing this foundation about 2 months ago. I felt it was heavy at first. I wasn't crazy about it. It did grow in me. I switched to a sponge application and I like it a bunch now. Yes, it is very moisturizing. I will continue purchasing this foundation. I also use a powder bronzer and cream blush. I would be interested to see how you would like it now.

[@goow]

I've actually repurchased it once! I have so many foundations in rotation that I don't wear it super-often but for anything to get repurchased in my world it has to be pretty good :) I have pretty good luck with CoverGirl foundations overall, and the Olay line has always been good to me.

I am 38 and I am embarrassed to say that I am not dealing with aging well... it has been pretty hard for me to see the signs of aging appear on my face/body. I'm also struggling with finding a new makeup routine/products that help me feel more confident. I bought this foundation based on your review... I REALLY enjoyed your video! your review was so informative!!

[@BabyLetsCruise]

Same here! I know you commented 2 years ago but I'm 38 and I feel the same way. Skincare in the morning and before bed is a must. I love Wet n Wild tinted hydrator and I'm so happy I tried it. I don't use concealer anymore I just use a small amount of this hydrator under my eyes after I apply it on my face. Afterwards I use a small amount of setting powder in my t-zone and then I apply a generous amount of setting spray. All products I use are from Walmart. I notice a huge difference in my skin now and most likely I'll never use regular foundation again.

[@bobbij7089]

Thank you so much for these reviews. I love how thorough you are. I'm so glad I found your channel 😊

I was a metal head too! Do you remember the Headbangers Ball? Somewhere exists VHS copies of a whole bunch of episodes. Man, I wish I had them. I still have some pretty cool shorts from back in the day. I found an Anthrax one not too long ago. Ok, lol. Down to business. Fabulous review, as always. There are just so many foundations I want. This isn’t on my radar at the moment. Have you tried the No7 Foundation Drops? I’m thinking about picking one up, but am unsure what the lightest shade is that isn’t too pink. Thanks, beautiful🍃🌸.

[@goow]

LOL I totally still have VHS tapes of Headbanger's Ball! One foot in the gutter, one fist in the gold!! I really like the No 7 drops. They have worked every which way I've tried them - mixed with primer, mixed with moisturizer, I even read some people saying they were mixing with sunscreen and it worked great.

[@leighsayswhat1998]

Carrie Mroczkowski Man! You are speaking my language! Headbangers ball was my favorite!!! Well one of them. Anthrax...seriously dig them. Metallica was my number one , top , most loved band.

Yay, this line is one of my favorites of the drugstore brands! You should check out the other foundation in the Simply Ageless line... it comes in a packaging like a hockey puck. It is super full coverage, and I always get skin compliments when I wear it. Down side is, not super long lasting, but it is small enough to fit in a purse for touch ups.

[@kathyabeauty]

I see 70+ year old Mae modeling in the CG ads and have been curious about the new formula. A lot of makeup is created using proven-safe ingredients and formulas that were originally tested on animals years ago, even though they are not presently retested on them. I love your comparison swatches! This 60ish lady thanks you! So helpful!🤗

[@goow]

My guess is that very little in this world was NEVER tested on animals. Most of the definitions of "cruelty free" today seem to be based on whether the current ingredients and finished products themselves were tested on animals, and that seems to be a reasonable approach to me. If we ruled out anything that was ever historically tested on animals, we'd have nothing cruelty free.

Hey Carrie! I haven't done a full review but I used them in a GRWM and I can report that I love them! So far I've tried them mixed with primer, mixed with moisturizer, and mixed with facial oil and they're beautiful any which way (and a few people commented that they work great mixed into sunscreen lotion as well). They wear well and degrade gracefully, and are very nice looking on the skin and very comfortable to wear!

Thanks, Jennifer! Last year I was bringing my old (gray) Jeep in for a repair, and I pulled into the parking lot of the dealer and saw the hypergreen Renegade... and I was like, nooooo don't look don't look don't look.... and then I sat in the service department for 3 hours and they still couldn't figure out what was wrong with my Jeep, all the while googling the Renegade reviews. They called me up to check out and I was like, "So...... can someone show me that green beast out there?" I went home with the Renegade, and they gave me a great trade-in deal since their service department couldn't find anything wrong with it (it had a mysterious electrical problem that came and went for several years). I am a planner but I am also impulsive 😂I wouldn't have done it at full price, but I got the $33k Renegade for $19k after my trade (which had 95k miles on it) and zero percent interest financing with zero down. I couldn't pass that up :) January is a sweet time to buy last year's model cars off the lot!

My 20 year old daughter always wears the cc with olay and of course on her young gorgeous skin it looks amazing, on me not so much it's just not enough full coverage for me but it looks great on young or flawless skin like yours, and I know you say you have some problems with your skin but your's is perfect compared to mine.

[@suefrancoeur9148]

I am 70. Except for a few wrinkles, my skin has not changed a lot in the last decade. I just wash my face, my pores are not clogged that way. Tried expensive foundations, but always returned to Cover Girl. Have been using the Ageless since it's been on the market. No concealer, no moisturizers, no primer, just the foundation. I only use one coat, not too much. I use a damp sponge or a brush, fingers too. It is not sticky, dries fast, and with full coverage and lasts all day. I liike the pump, you don't get bacteria in it. Less is more. It does not feel like I'm wearing any. Just add a little blush. I started wearing foundation at 14, (yep, the sixties with the big eyeliner...lol) always go back to Cover Girl. I give it a B (never give anything an A or a 5 stars). A little BB cream from Cover Girl is great for pores).

Why do Covergirl think our face needs to be perfumed!?! It's only an added possible allergen! Something to irritate sensitive skin. I would have bought another L'Oreal shade, but the CG is $3 cheaper, and we all know, we never end up choosing the correct shade on the first try! In Canada, the L'Oreal True Match is $21. !!! : O

I'm so glad you did this video, Shelly. I have been thinking of trying Cover Girl foundation and unsure which to go with.I used to wear it when I was young. It's the first brand I ever wore as far as foundation goes and I can still remember the smell of it but I traded it in for Corn Silk when that came out and never looked back. I didn't like this one as soon as you put it on. I could see it caking up around your chin and getting into crevices. It's also not full coverage, which I know you don't really mind but I do. I'm not really in the market for a new brand of foundation but I'll try something if it wow's you or something but for now, I'll stick to my tried and trues.

How did you know the 1st question I was going to ask? I'm still baffled, since Olay is not cruelty free. I give up. Well, I probably wouldn't buy it since it contains parabens. Oh great.

Okay, this comment is not about the makeup, but where did you get the Piccachu plushie? It’s so cute!

[@goow]

My mom got him for me for Christmas! She thinks it was this one - amzn.to/2HMA4F3 :-D

[@kaylaschmidt1111]

When we saw it in daylight it didn’t look that bad and when not zoomed in in the beauty lights it looks the same! I’m sure if it’s on our own faces it would feel different! I had tried the CG healthy elixir and throughout the day my eyes would not stop watering idk if it’s the SPF that causes this for me so I try to not buy anything with it added in.

[@goow]

I've had that same issue with some sunscreens, Kayla! I'm not sure why because I do wear regular sunscreen every day, but it makes me wonder if there are ingredients in makeup sunscreen to make it play nice with the makeup that my eyes don't like.

[@EF-yp3ib]

Do you think there's much of a difference between the CG Advanced Radiance and Simply Ageless?

[@goow]

Mostly in the finish - Simply Ageless leans a little bit more matte on me than the Advanced Radiance. I prefer how Advanced Radiance wears a bit more.

[@copulosa]

I was interested in this foundation. Have you tried the new NYX bare with me? I was surprised that the reviews I saw are calling it super dewy (which makes me interested!) Have you tried it? The shade on this one- comparing to the Loreal True Match- what would you compare it to? (I use.5N and .5w mixed) :)

[@goow]

This one is about the same lightness, but instead of leaning slightly warm like your mix I think it leans slightly peachy-cool.

[@goow]

And... spoiler alert, the Nyx Bare With Me is coming! I've pre-filmed it for while I'm traveling in June/July. It's scheduled for Friday June 14 :)

[@copulosa]

@@goow Thank you so much! Peach is a color I have to avoid Haha! So helpful!!

[@ladyburlesque]

Your hair is gorgeous right now!

[@goow]

Thanks, Susanne! I like it darker like this :) for some reason, it's easier to do my makeup!

[@ashleybrown9467]

Have you tried this foundation without any primer or pore filling products? It looks horrible with any primer used with it. I also apply with damp beauty blender gives a much better finish and then i set it with a very light dusting of cover fx translucent powder. If not I think you should try because I started using this a month ago in the shade buff beige and it seriously looks like my skin but better. My husband was so shocked when he saw it the first time and so did everyone I work with.

[@goow]

Hi Ashley! I haven't tried it without primer (only because I generally don't wear foundation without primer. The textured side of my face tends to look awful without a base down). Now that I'm at home and not seeing people during the day, I will give it a try! I hope you're staying well out there, Ashley!

[@ashleybrown9467]

@@goow I have texture too and dry patches that foundation loves to cling to aswell. But I exfoliate really good then put cetaphil moisturizing cream on next. Once that dries I use a damp beauty blender to apply the foundation and then set it with translucent powder but not alot. This foundation build up really well too.

[@francescareese7118]

VERY LATE to the party... Love hearing about this. They just came out with some eye sticks similar to the beloved Laura Mercier's Caviar stix that I want to look in to as well as there is supposedly no fall out and they dry fast with no eye irritation. Would LOVE your thoughts on the [Holika Holika] Hard Cover Glow Cushion SPF50+ I got the Honey and I'm NC 30 during winter it was waaay too light and probably a lot due to the SPF?? I loved it overall, but it was too light does come one shade darker??? The lightest would be to light for you I fear so if you decide to try it go up one? I'm more dry than you, but after traveling to Hong Kong for a day I picked it up and loved the coverage and for dry skin!! You'd love it in Winter if you could color match. You might try 21 (I think) but it is, "Petal" and I think it's on Amazon?? If it's light and you like it I'll send you mine I used once and you then have your pad it comes yours with which is actually a great tool for application light slapping motions and applies so very nicely and layers twice very well!!! You must try it! I looked like a ghost unfortunately :( Thank you so much for the CG foundation review........and sorry I wrote too long here...

[@goow]

Oooh I will have to find those! I just grabbed all of their new Stila glitter shadow dupes and they're awesome!

Last fall I tried the CoverGirl + Olay compact foundation, the same makeup-olay moisturizer combo but in cream form. Ugh! It was one of the worst foundations I've ever used. I referred to it as Simply Aging as it fell into every line, wrinkle and pore, it started breaking down and wearing off only 2 hours in and the shade was wayyyy too light for me. I even contacted CoverGirl and told them what shade I wore in other popular brands and they recommended a shade that made me look embalmed. I have normal/dry skin and I'm in the targeted age group so not sure why this looked so bad on my skin. Hopefully they reformulated it too along with the one you are reviewing. I thought the shade might have been a bit light on your skin until you did the daylight check-in. Maybe it oxidized just a bit? :)

[@goow]

Yeah I think it did because even in the thumbnail photo it looks a little bit light on me, but later it was good. Heh I have wondered that with several products along the way, where I'm certain they're targeting me but it makes me look older than I am! Maybe I wanted that when I was 19 going on 30 but not now! I celebrate when I get carded for liquor, even though the sign says they have to card up to 35. Hey, that's 9 years! 😂

[@helpfulnatural]

@@goow Where I live, by law everyone must get carded when buying liquor. Especially in grocery stores, etc. :-/

I miss our Metalhead shirts . I wish I kept them.

Me too!

[@bjornolson21]

I couldn't get the jsc concealer to work for me. It stayed too tacky to blend it out. It always ended up patchy when I would go to blend it. Too finicky for me. I also think the "tightening" aspect of it may have made my undereyes look a little weird. Maybe that's what's happening with your crowes feet? Idk

[@goow]

Yeah I filmed a review of the concealer that day and it's probably not a spoiler after seeing it in the foundation video to say, it didn't work out for me!

[@bjornolson21]

I had to return it. I still look forward to seeing the video 😊

[@darcey3696]

you had me at IRON MAIDEN!!!!🤘🏻

[@goow]

Those were the days!!

[@cleopatrasmith6482]

I'm with you Ms. Shelly! I too believe the JS concealer is dehydrating. 😫 Tho, I do appreciate the fair shade range. Also, I thoroughly enjoyed your makeup look. Super pretty! Ps. I had a feeling you were a tad on the dark side🤘🏻🤘🏻 as am I 😉

[@cleopatrasmith6482]

Also... I think you shld try out the Pür Cosmetics translucent powder. It can't look cakey or dry. I wear it under my eyes to set. And I can never wear powder there! Super pretty finish.

[@goow]

Hehehe yeah my high school years were all Maiden, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax... :-D I will check out that Pur powder - added to my list!

[@cleopatrasmith6482]

Very nice! Slayer, and Morbid Angel will always hold a special pl. In my playlists lol. . I cant get much into music nowadays. Manson & Rob Zombie are goin on tour again this summer. Their 1st tour was pretty awesome. Do you go to concerts??

[@kittydebs]

you sang the lyrics of my youth!

❤ So glad I found your videos! I am 51 and bored with maturity. Thanks for making makeup fun for me once more. I love seeing you rock the pretty colors and shimmers. 3 years ago I scraped myself off the floor and left my husband. I became a ghost after 10 yrs of abuse and isolation. It's a new year and a new day and I'm ready to stop being invisible. Its time to re-become. To learn how to sparkle like you do. Mad love coming at you from Humboldt.❤

[@iriegirl73]

Can you try the Frankie rose concealer

Added to the list! I haven't seen that one!

Have you tried or reviewed the Olay line of cleansers and retinol type of stuff? That stuff is amazing for drug store stuff.

[@goow]

Before I moved into high end skin care, one of my go-to favorites in the early days of my channel was the Olay Regenerist line. I think it is great stuff!

[@beautifulchaos4383]

@@goow It is really good!

[@pamelacossey8604]

I just ordered this on iherb and am hoping to look like one of their beautiful older models. 🥴

[@LucyGooseyVault33]

I’m conflicted I have sensitive skin and I can’t use Olay body washes because it irritates my skin. But I want to try it because Taylor Wynn aka thatayla said she likes it and it’s a great dupe for the CYO life proof foundation she loved, how do you think they compare?

[@goow]

The CYO is a little bit more dewy on me and a much better shade match (which breaks my heart since it's discontinued!) The CYO is more hydrating on me as well. I didn't find them to be dupes (this one I graded a B- and the CYO was an A- when I reviewed it and I'd probably say an A now that I've used it for ages).

[@janetn9942]

Have u tried/reviewed the concealer ? I’m just seeing it here in Canada now 😵

[@goow]

I don't think I have! I need to!

Whatever happened to the max factor foundation review? I’m still wanting to see a video on that foundation.

[@goow]

Hi Camrom! I had bought the stick foundation then lost it when I moved and then found it again unpacking! I am leaving for Ireland for 7 weeks in a couple days and I didn't find it soon enough to pre-film before I left (I'll still have 3 videos a week going up while I'm traveling) but it'll be first on my list when I get back!
