Hello everyone! It is time for another product review. The product I will review today is the: CoverGirl Vitalist Healthy Elixir Liquid Foundation in the shade 760 Classic Tan.
Cost: Around $10, depending on where you buy it.
Cruelty-Free: Yes, CoverGirl is cruelty-free; they do not test on animals 🐰.
Brand Promises: CoverGirl promises that this foundation will: Hydrate your skin, make your skin look flawless, it has buildable coverage, it is lightweight, it is oil-free, it minimizes oiliness and shine, it will glide on smoothly, and it will give your skin a healthy luminous glow.
Shade Range: This foundation has 14 shades. About four of the 14 shades are for darker, more tan women like me. The shade that I have is the shade 760 Classic Tan, which is the second darkest shade.
I am a little disappointed by the shade range for this line. Normally, CoverGirl is really good about having a fair shade range, but considering that there are 14 shades in total and only 4 are darker shades, CoverGirl could have done better to make this foundation more tan/dark girl-friendly.
The CoverGirl Vitalist Healthy Elixir Liquid Foundation Contains/Ingredients:
- SPF 20
- Vitamin-Infused/Vitamin Complex
- Antioxidants
- Vitamins: E, B3, B5

How The CoverGirl Vitalist Healthy Elixir Liquid Foundation Looks On The Skin
My Skin Type: I had normal skin since I was a child, but recently it has become oily.

Oiliness: This foundation did get oily towards the end of the day, so you should set it with powder to reduce the oiliness and extend how long the foundation will stay put throughout the day.
Fine Lines/Under Eye Area: I can still see the lines underneath my eyes while wearing this foundation, but this foundation did make them less noticeable. This foundation also did not settle into my smile lines.
Does The CoverGirl Vitalist Healthy Elixir Liquid Foundation Do What It Promises?
Yes, I definitely do feel that this foundation did almost everything that it promised: This foundation applied easily and smoothly, it definitely gave my skin a very healthy luminous glow, my skin felt more hydrated while wearing this foundation, this foundation has beautiful coverage, and my skin looked airbrushed, flawless, and smooth.
One drawback to this foundation is that it did get oily through the day, so it does not minimize oiliness or shine. In fact, since this is a hydrating foundation, I do not recommend it for people with oily skin.
Final Thoughts: All in all, I am very impressed with this foundation. I love the glow it adds to the skin and how it looks, so it has made its way to my list of favorite foundations. This is the foundation I reach for the most in the winter time, so I do highly recommend this foundation.
