CoverGirl & Olay Simply Ageless Foundation Reviews

total dissapointment
After seeing the ads (cleverly done by Ellen) I rushed out to buy this product. It felt good going on but did not look any different than any kind of non-powder I had used. A month went buy, and I don't wear makeup but maybe twice a week. Within a month, the foundation contents had a large CRACK in it. It was closed properly, but had a dried out look to it, with oil of olay supposedly in it. I was going past my limit by paying $14 for foundation on my budget, but this was not acceptable. I had not kept the receipt so I just had to throw it away. Very dissapointing. — 3 years, 6 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful

At Last!
For years I've had trouble finding makeup that would work for me...I have a very blotchy skin but for the most part fair skinned. Most makeup I've used looks very caked on, but this goes on and seems to just blend in while hiding the imperfections. Also, I've found that "less is more", meaning I start out with a very very light hand and then just use a bit more if needed. Because of this, the container will last long enough that the price, to me anyway, is justified. (I wouldn't mind a bit if they did lower the price just a tad though!) — 3 years, 7 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Guess I need makeup lessons from Ellen Degeneres!
Disappointed in this foundation. Bought the same color as another CG foundation but this is much lighter and doesn't give me the coverage my other foundation does. Packaging is hard to open and flimsy. — 3 years, 7 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Quite possibly Holy Grail for me!
Usually CG fndn is waaay too pink for my skintone [Asian-medium-yellow], but I wanted to try this anyway, and I am SO glad I did! I bought it in Soft Honey #255, a tad darker than what I am on most of my face, but I have pretty prominent sundamage blotches that are right smack in the middle of my snoot, and they're REALLY hard to hide - putting too-light a shade over them only makes them look cakey and more noticeable. Plus, I've used this shade in other CG fndn/powders, and it's yellow enough for me. This stuff helps conceal them, not 'perfectly', but it blends SO well that the blotches are almost unnoticeable as blotches, it just looks like my face gradually gets darker toward my nose, but not weirdly [I'm TRYING to find a way to describe it, lol!]. I'm not sure if the Olay in it will help lighten the splotches, and I don't have any wrinkles to speak of, even at 40, but I will report back on how the discolorations are doing. This stuff goes on as a cream, and you need to let it set for a minute after blending, which it does like a dream! It also wears and wears, and I have a very oily T-zone, so extra points for that. It doesn't settle into any lines that I can tell [I have maybe 2 fine lines], or into my pores, which in the area on and around my nose are huge, so even more points. One of the only things that it loses points for is the price; $13 for CG foundation is a leeeettle bit too much, IMO. Also the packaging, it comes in a glass screw-top jar, the lid has a flip-top where you'll find a sponge [I use my fingers], but no mirror, and I have heard from others that they had a lot of difficulty trying to open theirs, so I guess I was lucky since I had no problems. I don't think it's scented, all I can smell if I stick it close to my sniffer is a very faint lotion-y smell, and I didn't see any frangrance listed, but you should check it if you have any issues w/scented makeup. Overall, this pretty much is my HG fndn! — 3 years, 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Does what it's suppose to do
I have tried several liquid and powder foundations and everyone sat in my wrinkles. I like this, it goes on smoothly, the color is fine, and it doesn't sit in my wrinkles. Also it is very light and doesn't feel cakey. — 3 years, 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Love it!
I really like the way this goes on and the way it feels. I have also noticed that it does not sit in the fine lines on my face. I love this product... — 3 years, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Covers Flaws
I really like this foundation. The closest color to my complexion appears slightly yellowish. Next time I will consider perhaps a darker shade but for the most part the coverage is excellent. Most importantly the foundation doesn't ever feel dry or cake like and never settles into lines or creases. The foundation does give a flawless look and it evens skin tone. The Regenerist product in the foundation is beneficial to skin. The product does what it says and is a good value for the money. The compact can be somewhat difficult to open; especially to access the sponge applicator. The challenge with this foundation is finding a good color match. Other than the small things I mentioned I do highl recommend this product. — 3 years, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

cover girl and olay team up
I have used Olay skin treatments for years and was really excited to try this product. I first noticed the makeup in a magazine ad featuring Ellen DeGeneres and wanted to try it. Like a lot of other reviews stated, this product goes on much lighter than you would normally expect. I ended up using a bronzing powder over the foundation. I always have trouble in the summer with finding a foundation that will not 'melt' when I am exposed to heat and humidity. The first time I used the CoverGirl and Olay Simply Ageless Foundation was truly a day for that test. In upper 90 to low 100 temps and with dew points in the low 70's, I had a day filled with errands and appointments and running in and out all day. The makeup stayed on and lasted the entire day with only a few blots to save it. I use Olay Regenerist Daytime moisturizer underneath and the foundation went on smoothly. The container was very difficult to open at first and has held up well. I also like the sponge applicator being in its' own compartment. This has been one of the better foundations that I have used in a long time. — 3 years, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful

CoverGirl and Olay Simply Ageless Foundation is truly amazing
I just bought the CoverGirl and Olay Simply Ageless Foundation three weeks ago. I truly goes on very easily, doesn't show creases. I like the fact that it stays on all day and does not come off on your clothing. It is truly worth the small price you pay for an all day foundation. I would definitely recommend this product for the older and younger crowd. The only problem I had was making sure I got the right color to match my complexion. I wish Cover Girl had a better system to match your skin. — 3 years, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Love it!
I love this foundation. It provides great coverage (I use Classic Ivory) without looking fake or cakey. I do find that it settles into fine lines a bit (which it promises not to do), but no more than any other foundation I've tried. I apply with a makeup sponge, then finish blending with my fingers. I still feel good at the end of an 8 hour work day! — 3 years, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
