It wasn't the worst it isn't the best but there are certainly better foundations out there.
I just find that the main problem with this is it's hard to blend no matter what method I used to try blending.It some times goes on patchy even with all my work .I also find that having a cakey face is more likely when using this foundation.
The smell it's self is not the greatest so if scents are a problem for you don't get this as the scent remains through out the day!

This is the BEST foundation I have used. It applies smoothly, evens my skin tone, and does not give me acne or worsen my existing acne. I've tried Bobbie Brown foundation for $46 as well as several types of Clinique and L'Oreal. The Cover Girl surpasses all of these products. I wish that it had a pump to make application less messy.

This foundation isn't the best however... It isn't all that bad either. Since I've been taking better care of my skin I do not need as much coverage as I once did. so... If I'm just going shopping or out really quick I'll grab this or my NYC smooth skin instead of my Revlon Colorstay. The coverage on this is decent... It does last very well... with a setting powder. It doesn't cause any break-outs.. evens skin tone well.. As usual my only complaint is I WISH IT HAD A PUMP!!!!!!!!!!!lol

UPDATE: BROKE ME OUT.. LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS ON MY SKIN BUT NOT THE BREAK OUTS:( GOING BACK TO REVLON COLORSTAY

I love this foundation! I have the one for oily skin and in the color light beige. I have the Maybelline concealer for covering red spots and it makes my face look like it has a greenish glow. So I put on the foundation and that gets rid of that greenish glow while still keeping the redness away. I would definitely buy this foundation again.

I haven't used a liquid Cover Girl makeup in eons but saw this at Walgreen's and decided to give it a try since I am having adult/pre-menopause oil & acne issues. I have to say I like this foundation alot. Obviously I'm in the minority here! My bottle is unscented and I have to say I'm glad about this because I, too, recall the Noxema scented days of CG makeups. I bought it in Medium Light and find that it gives a nice, all day, medium coverage, matte finish to my skin when I dust it with a very sheer layer of e.l.f. Studio powder. I'd definitely repurchase - at least at this point. I've only been using it for about a week, but so far, I have experienced only good results with it.

I thought I would try this out because I got it got for a really great price. $3 after coupons at CVS. The smell is insanely obnoxious. Like a bad old lady perfume. It hits your nose as soon as you open the bottle. The color I chose was Buff Beige because according to Temptalia's foundation matrix that is one of the two shades that would match me. NC25. It is off color by a whole shade. After applying it darkens up just a bit. It does not match my neck. SO yeah it is not a perfect match. I suppose I can go try the other shade mentioned but I dont want to because the formula is not very good. It rubs off easily and looks mask like. It LOOKS like I am wearing foundation. It doesnt really melt into my skin and cover imperfections. As a matter of fact it looked mask like and DIDNT cover imperfections. I dont have anything majorly wrong with my skin. Just a little bit of ruddy cheeks and uneven skin tone. This formula also seems to accentuate dry areas that tend to pop up on my nose if I dont exfoliate as much as I should. Needless to say I will not buy this again and I dont even want to waste my gas to go back to swap it or get my 3 bucks back.

i bought this in the normal skin formula when i was in my early teens. it was my very first foundation. it only costs $5-$8 in Canada, and for the price, it's pretty good. it doesn't have amazing coverage, probably medium, but then, i didn't have really bad skin in those days. it blends really well, has a pretty good color selection, and most of all, didn't clog my pores whatsoever (this is especially amazing considering i used to sleep in my foundation probably five days a week, and never got a single break out!) over all, it's good for what you pay, and i would recommend it to preteens/teens that don't have very troubled skin.

So I bought this after seeing it being reccomended in Cosmo and at $4.65 at my walmart I was like score. So I got home and read ALOT of bad reviews & was really nervous to try it. But Wow! I really, really like it. It gives me a glow,gives just enough coverage without being "cakey", melts into skin, and lasts for so long! Only drawback is the smell, it smells like noxema : / But once it settles on your skin the smell is gone.

I bought this at walmart for 8.97$ and I hate it! The color that I usually am in covergirl foundation in the clean foundation is PINK! Like no joke its looks like they added pink pigment into it. It is also THE most cakey foundation ever! The packaging sucks because it is an open top and this is a super thick consistency so you have totake a brush or something to take it out. Do not buy if you have dry skin it clings to all your dry spots.

Overall it's not a bad foundation. I used it for about a year or longer untill i realised I should probably look for a new foundation.
The only problems i had with this product was that it didn't last very long... and I have normal skin. I would put it on in the morning and it would look really good but 2-3 hours later it looked shiny and gross.

I personally hate having to worry about my face looking like i just rolled in grease. I want to be able to go to school and not worry... i mean realisticly you'd have to blot atleast once.. i expect that but this foundation didn't do it for me.

Also it can be very messy.. i would just pour the foundation into the cap and dip my finger in that.. after a while it gets gross lol.

ok, so I wanted to get something that would not clog my pores or make my skin oily. This product was..ok. to me, it was more like a tinted moisturizer than a foundation. It didnt have great coverage at all, and the packaging wasnt anything special. Also, the smell was not very attractive. I wouldnt buy this product again, i guess it would be an ok foundation for someone just looking for even skin tone

This foundation was ok, although not the best I have ever used. The first problem I have with this product is its smell – it is absolutely vile! It’s a cross between eucalyptus oil and a chemical cleaning product. None of the ingredients look like natural products whatsoever. Whenever I apply this to areas around my eyes of lips, it BURNS AND STINGS!!! It is also extremely thin and runny, so a good quality primer needs to be applied under this foundation, and a lot of foundation needs to be applied to give an even and adequate coverage. I have also found it almost impossible to apply this foundation with a brush because it just becomes so streaky – I suspect this is because it is such a thin product. It also needs to be set with a powder as it is quite sticky even when it has dried. Once you have gone to all the trouble of actually getting it applied to your face however, it does tend to have good quality staying power and it has a nice finish after it has been set with powder. I also don’t like the fact that this comes in a glass bottle, which means that there is a whole lot of product that you can’t get out when the bottle gets emptier. Overall an ok foundation and you get what you pay for, but definitely not worth buying again.

I bought this because I was on vacation and wanted something light just to wear because my bags got lost at the airport and had to buy new stuff. The price was really cheap, but it smelled like Noxema, which broke me out into hives, I returned it and tried to get the one for sensitive skin, and it contains Noxema as well... it did provide good coverage, which is why I gave it a 2, but I'm allergic:(

I'm pretty shocked that this foundation receives such poor reviews but I guess I can see where it might not be great for everyone.

First off, I have used all different brands of liquid foundations from all price ranges (Revlon, Rimmel, MAC, MUFE, Clinique...) I've paid as cheap as $5 and as much as $50. Of all the drugstore brands I've tried, this is by far the best.

It's important to know that this foundation is NOT matte and does not provide a matte look throughout the day. If you are someone who prefers a matte finish I don't recommend this foundation. If you are like me and prefer a dewy, glowy look I would recommend trying it.

Sure, it doesn't wear quite as long as MUFE or MAC but did you really expect it to for $6? It lasts long enough for me and doesn't settle into any lines on my face.

What I like about it is the way it makes my skin look airbrushed and doesn't show any stroke marks from applying with a foundation brush. It blends well and I quite enjoy the Noczema scent. Feels "clean" and fresh on my face. The scent disappears after settling on the skin as well.

If there's one thing I don't like, it's the packaging. Can be messy and I end up wasting a lot of product. It would be better with a pump but this isn't that big of a problem.

Although I am a sucker for MUFE HD (my HG foundation) I will repurchase this in the future. It's a good basic foundation for a great price.

I was pretty shocked to see that this rated badly overall for a lot of people. I got this foundation about 3 weeks ago and I've used it about 5 times(I don't wear foundation everyday) and I really really like it! When I first used it though, I was so weirded out by the scent! It smelled a lot like medicated ointment or something, I was like, why would they use this scent in a foundation? But after awhile, I kinda got used to it and it's become rather comforting to me, in fact! Haha! The product itself is very lightweight, moisturizing and looks super natural! My skin looked super glowy and everything when I wore this. When I first tried this out, I walked out to the kitchen and my roommate commented on how my skin looked so flawless, and she asked if I took care of my skin very well. I was like... no..... because I really don't, it's just the simple cleanse, tone, moisturize. Then I remembered I was wearing this foundation! First compliment upon trial run within half an hour. Win! Back to the product, it gives you a super clean(hence, the name) and fresh feeling when you apply it on your face, probably like menthol or something. Feels really good, and wakes me up too! Coverage is buildable. I'm using 105 Ivory! Love this foundationnnnnnn! Oh one thing though, I do wish they improved the packaging. It's a screw-on cap and I always have trouble pouring the foundation out and estimating how much I'll need. Maybe something more hygienic like a pump would make the packaging perfect.

I have been looking for a foundation, since they discontinued trublend whipped foundation. Anyways I was out shopping with my grandma, and this was on sale. She recalled that she used clean makeup back in her day, so I thought I'd give it a try. I got this in buff beige, because my gma kept saying that classic beige (what I was in trublend) was too light. Anyways, it was too tan. But I blended it out best I could. Anyways, I looked at it in sunlight, (I have florescent lights in my room, don't ask.) and it looked like poo. I had a couple of pimples on my chin, and it made my chin look all strangely bumpy. I hated how it looked. Of course my lovely gma said: "actually, I didn't wear cover up"(she calls it that, not me) "when I wad your age. I didnt start until I was 40. But I remember the girls that did looked like that." Not to mention it reeked of noxema

This product wasn't extremely bad but it does have its flaws.
I like how it is more of an organic type of foundation and it covers up my face's blemishes quite well. It is very natural looking and isn't caky at all.
HOWEVER I'm not too crazy about how it smells... it's not a bad smell but it's a bit of a strong stingy smell. And because of that it sometimes stings my skin a little bit. I also don't like how it's packaged. It isn't squeezed out like most liquid foundations but shaped in a glass bottle, with a kinda big opening so sometimes you pour out more than you need. Also this isn't completely a waterproof foundation... like I once wore it on a night dancing and I sweat off my entire make up because of the foundation base. So yeah.. don't wear it to sweaty wet events. I think it's good for maybe light short functions.

I actually really like this stuff, although I never used the first formula. I usually put on Neutrogena powder cover up then add this stuff ontop of it to make it look a bit more natural and it works pretty well. It stays on my skin for about only 5 hrs which is annoying so I have to put it on again halfway through the school day. But anyways it blends in with my skin and looks like my zit isn't even there.
