Today I am going to review a foundation for you all. I will review The CoverGirl TruBlend Liquid Foundation in the shade D4 Classic Tan.
Coverage/Finish: This foundation has very good coverage. I would say that it is full coverage for a lot of people because it definitely covered all of my imperfections.
This foundation has a beautiful dewy finish, so if you have dry skin, you will find this foundation well-suited to you. This foundation makes the skin look very smooth, perfect, vibrant, and have a healthy glow. Looking at the foundation in photos, it does look a bit thick, rather than natural, so this foundation may not be the best one to wear when going for the no-makeup look. However, despite that it looks thick, it does not feel heavy on the skin; it does not feel invisible either like foundations that have a more natural finish.
I have normal skin; skin that is not oily nor dry. I was able to wear this foundation as it is without setting it with powder.
Longevity: This foundation lasted on my skin all day long even though I did not apply a face primer with it, so it is a great foundation to wear at the office. After a few hours though, the foundation did wear away underneath the eye area. This is what the foundation looked like after I wore it for seven hours. However, if you set this foundation with setting powder, it should stay better underneath the eye area.
The CoverGirl TruBlend Liquid Foundation still looks very nice after many hours of wear, but you will need to wear an additional under eye concealer with this foundation. This foundation also started to look more oily after a while, so if you have oily skin, you may want to avoid this foundation or use it with a good mattifying primer or setting powder.
Cruelty-Free: CoverGirl just recently pulled out of China and is now officially cruelty-free 🐰.
Skin Irritation: I experienced no skin irritation at all while wearing this foundation.
Shade Range: The good thing about CoverGirl is that they have many shade ranges to choose from, so they are definitely a Black and minority ethnic-friendly brand.
This CoverGirl TruBlend Foundation comes in 21 shades. Seven light shades, seven medium shades, and seven darker shades.
Price: You get 30 ml 1 fl oz of product for under $10. I think this is a great price for a full coverage foundation.
Final Thoughts: I do like this foundation and I feel that it is a good-quality foundation. The coverage, pricing, and shade ranges are all good also. I think this foundation is best suited for people who want full, or close to full coverage, as well as people who want a dewy finish from their makeup. This foundation is also a good choice for people with dry skin. If you have normal skin like me, then you will need to refresh the foundation later as time passes with powder. If you have oily skin, I do not think this foundation will work well for you. In general, more dewy foundations do not usually work well for people with oily skin.
All in all, I do like this foundation and I do recommend it for people with normal and dry skin.
