Have been using this for a few days and am in awe of the feel, wear and coverage. I don't have particularly oily skin (in fact I'm more combination/dry) but living in a humid, tropical climate means there's not much foundation left on my face at the end of the day. By Terry however has been lasting amazingly and has maintained good coverage throughout the day. Not sure if it's too early to call if my HG but so far I'm very impressed!

Perfecting is a great title for this amazing foundation. It pretty much does everything - minimizes lines and pores, looks like real skin, blends seamlessly, imparts beautiful glow without shine, lasts all day and night. It just makes my whole face look like I have luminous baby skin.

I have very dry skin and it's hard to find coverage that doesn't emphasize my fine lines and flakes. This makes my skin look super smooth, velvety, and glowy at the same time, and the rest of my makeup applies beautifully over it. The first day I wore this, I couldnt stop checking out my own skin in the mirror, it's just looks so pretty, in a believable way, not an obvious mask-like way.

I really love Eclat de Rose Tinted Moisturizer too, but I like how Cover Expert is able to go a little further and hide all the discolorations and visible veins around my eyes and nose. This makes it a great problem-area concealer/skin smoother when I'm wearing the TM.

By Terry has the most beautiful foundation formulas you can buy IMO. I was so disappointed when light expert 101 was discontinued, and indescribably happy there are finally some more color options for my pale skin!

Wow!. Can't say enough good things about this or the Sheer Expert. Both are so far superior to anything else I've ever tried and the list is long. By Terry Cover Expert does all it promises. The imperceptible coverage is phenomenal and it only takes a small amount to achieve this. It also defintely camoflauges signs of aging, which my 52 year old face appreciates. I take good care of my skin and want a foundation that enhances it, which this does perfectly. If it feels like a mask, then too much was applied. This hides dark circles, redness and broken capillaries and still looks natural! Simply amazing. For a perfect color match, call Alex at Barney's on Madison Ave.

I had never heard of By Terry before visiting a new cosmetic store in downtown Ann Arbor. When I described my skin as dry in most places and very sensitive, and the medium long-lasting coverage I desired, the clerk directed me to By Terry. This foundation is AWESOME. It is velvety and covers my slight redness perfectly. The coverage lasts even when I am a bit heated. The price is steep at $65 but well worth the price at this point. BTW, the concealer is really good too.

I've finally stopped looking for a foundation that works for me. This is it! It's a perfect colour match (I'm nc25 and wear 7 vanilla beige), lasts all day but isn't hard to remove, doesn't clog my pores or break me out, doesn't make me oily or dry out my skin, is easy to apply, provides full but natural looking coverage and looks fantastic in photos. I have bought literally hundreds of foundations over the years and nothing has come close. I've actually thrown out all my other foundations now and hope to God they never discontinue this one. I used to use Lumiere Veloutee but this is better (i didn't have a colour match in that and had to mix two, and it didn't look as natural). It's cheaper than past By Terry foundations too, although still on the pricey side - but definitely worth it. My only tiny criticism is that the tube tends to dollop out more than I need and the lid gets messy. Thank you By Terry.

Well, I think this will split the consumer and be a 'love it' or 'hate it' product. Why do I say that?
Fragrance: it has quite an intense fragrance which personally I like, it smells super luxurious and gives me a sense of enjoyment as I use it.
Finish; the 'velvet' finish they promote is SO acurate that it gives quite a heavy look. Personally i don't want my face to look velvet, I prefer more natural. It gave me a velvet mask, ok flawless and even, but not very real. As i say, some will love this aspect.
Colour; Don't be fooled by the 'beige' names, there is still rather a pink tone to these shades. I have been using #1 fair beige which is the palest. I have to say it is much lighter than most so called pale/fair/porcelain colours, I can actaully wear it, which initself is really unusual and a pleasant surprise. It is however too pink and once we get into summer and I stop wearing scarves high neck tops, I will have to stop using this. For ref. my default foundations are Chantecaille in Porcelain and Armani LSF in #2 (slightly too yellow but works). One of the strengths of the By Terry is how well it lasts throughout the day without the colour oxidising at all.
Feel; now the thing Idodn't understand is how brands like this that promote luxury credentials and distincitve ingredients that benefit the skin can use ingredients in a product like this that are actually bad for you! To me Cover Expert not only looks like a velvet flawless mask but feels like a mask that isnt allowing my skin to breathe. Such a shame.
I do think many people will love this. There are some superb aspects to it. It's not for me though.

This is the best foundation I've ever tried and my search for the perfect foundation is finally over! I have tried loads of different foundations including HE, drugstore, bb creams etc. I bought this and the new creamy foundation by dolce & gabbana at the same time because both sounded like I could like them. This one is far far better.
I have combination skin leaning on the dry side, a few broken capillaries and acne scars that need to be covered. At the same time I hate if it looks obvious that I'm wearing foundation. I am 29 years old and a few lines are starting to show, I'm using AHA and retinol products that sometimes leave my skin dried out and flushed. I was always searching for a foundation that covers everything nicely but still looks natural with a semi matte finish AND I wanted it to give me this airbrushed, glowy "model"-look. This foundation does all that! It's amazing. It is also so easy to use. I apply with my fingers and if I didn't have a mirror it would still look good because it never cakes or creases, the colormatch is PERFECT (I am a MAC nw 20 and I use shade number 4). I also like to use mac strobe cream underneath it and I'm pairing it with helena rubinsteins magic concealer (which I also recently discovered and it's just amazing for undereye shadows AND to conceal spots). staying power isn't as long as eg. EL double wear but it looks much better, smoother and it is very easy to add another layer without looking masky. I do have to blot my forehead once or twice a day but that is because I have to moisturize a lot with my dry skin. I recommend this to anyone with dry skin who wants good coverage and a natural finish. the scent is also amazing, it strongly reminds me of my childhood (and it's not that typical by terry rose scent) so if anyone knows what it could be (I think it could be a product my mother used to wear in the 80s), please contact me! I will not buy anything else again and I probably won't even finish the d&g one since the color doesn't match me that well and it dries me out quite a bit, finish is also a bit too matte for my liking.
it is worth the pricetag and I love it to pieces! :-) continued >>
