Covergirl Whipped Creme Foundation
Okay so I brought this foundation a few weeks ago because I was hearing a lot of buzz about it. Well for starters it was new so I just HAD to buy it...
Anywho, I got mine from Wal-Mart and the one I went to only had a few colors to choose from. I got mine in the darkest shade they had which was "Tawny", I was bit scared because it did look a bit darker then me but some offoundations appear darker in the bottle anyway.Once I got home I was determine to try it out. So...at first I wasn't exactly sure how or what brush to apply it with so I just did what seemed most fitting (used my fingers). When I first started to apply it, it went on my skin looking a dark muddy green color (completely freaked me out). However once I started blending it in, it matched my skin perfectly (whew-right!!!). The consistency is very smooth and silky which I loved and it gives you a semi matte finish (also great in my eyes). My first time wearing it, I didn't set it with any powder and I want to say after about 2 hours I was bit oily in my T-zone (I don't have very oily skin, more combo). The second time I wore it I set it with a setting powder and it lasted a little longer but not much longer, maybe 3hrs. So...I do not recommend this for going out and taking pictures. I took a few pictures of myself in natural light it was okay but all my inside pictures came across a bit dark. All in all the foundation is pretty good, great for everyday but just be prepared for a few touch ups through out the day.
