Dermablend Cover Creme (new formula)

I used this product for years. Purchased the new formula and it gives me a rash around the eyes! I am so disappointed! I still have some old and am using it again...no sensitivity issues!
It was my GO TO HG for around my eyes!
What happened? Does anybody know what changed? Ingredient deck or poor quality?

The worst of it all is that it is apparently responsible for my swollen eyes. :(
My MD could not solve my red, swollen eyes. So sad, this was the basis for EVERYTHING.

did not work for me, at my age of 53, I have melasma and I had to put layers on my face just to cover it up, my face looked so greasy afterwards and I have dry skin.

I bought this to use over some world-class under-eye circles and rosacea, and I've been impressed with the results. This is the first concealer I've used that fully conceals both a broken capillary and the dark-purple, almost black shadows that I constantly have under my eyes. I've never had a problem with it becoming blotchy or creasing, as other reviews report. For dark circles, I start with primer, followed by color corrector, then a bit of foundation. This way I don't have to use such a thick layer of Dermablend to conceal. I then immediately set with loose powder pressed into the skin with a puff. If you use a powder brush, you'll end up rubbing the concealer right off. This stuff is also stellar for covering rosacea, unlike most foundations, which don't adhere to the rough skin texture in those areas very well. Fortunately, the wax base in cover creme has no problem staying put, and I find that it mixes well with Lancome's waxy color-corrector formula.
I always, always apply this cover creme over foundation with a concealer brush and set with powder immediately, and I've never had a problem with creasing or wear time. For me, if I use my fingers, it's too difficult to blend it out properly, as the warmth of my fingertips lifts product away every time I touch my face and I end up either blotchy or with too much product caked on. On days when I want to use it as foundation, I apply 1-2 drops of face oil (just straight into the container), blend it into the cream with my fingers, then use a foundation brush to apply all over. That lets me start off with medium, rather than full, coverage and produces a more natural dewy finish.
My main complaint is that the shade range is so limited. I'm very pale with olive undertones (~NC15), so never an easy shade match. I use Warm Ivory, but it's a bit too dark for me. I also wish it weren't so matte, as the dryness of the formula can make skin look cakey or crepey when you try to build it up.

Honestly, I am not impressed with this foundation. I bought it to cover up some major redness on my face, and while it did significantly reduce the redness, it did not cover it completely. I get better coverage using Vichy Dermablend Corrective foundation or Dermacolor Camouflage cream. So for me, the foundation was not worth it.

I love Dermablend and all their products. I come back to this foundation again and again, because it covers all my redness from rosacea and doesn't emphasize flaky skin from my SD. Love it. My skin is doing a bit better these days, so I mainly use this as a concealer for my redness. A thin layer is all I need.

There are some complaints about the product being too thick and cakey - you're supposed to let it completely warm up on the back of your hand before using, otherwise it is easy to apply too much - any full coverage foundation applied too much will look cakey. The product should warm up to a thin, creamy consistency. And apply in very thin layers at a time.

PROS:
- covers anything and everything (full coverage)
- very natural coverage
- it wears well throughout the day and lasts as advertised
- small and portable
- comes with a spatula for sanitary reasons
- this thing will last forever

CONS:
- needs time to warm up on your hand, so not the best if you're in a hurry
- I need oil control during warmer weather

I bought this in hopes of covering up acne scars and a birthmark that is on my neck. I would apply it with a beauty blender, and within the hour it would start to break down and break apart on my face. horrible for someone with acne prone skin! It felt very sticky and tacky on my face, it never really sunk into my skin like a foundation is supposed to do, I couldn't get it to blend. the selection of shades are nice, but it definitely did not live up to my expectations.

I've been on the hunt for a full coverage foudation. After watching several you tubers rave about it, I decided to check it out. I went out to Macy and was color match to Olive brown. The foudation comes in a jar and little spatula so you are able to scoop product out. You warm up on back of your hand. On first Inspection: Omg super pretty! I had a glow.Full coverage everything I want in a foudation.
First day back to work, Primed my face, I applied with a morphe 438 buffing brush then set with Smash Box Photo filter powder at 10:00am. By the time I made it to work at 11:30. I was soooo oily. My face was shinning. Not in a good way.
The next day I tried Mac Mineralize skin finish natural. Same thing super oily. Foundation started to break down. So I thought to myself maybe I need to purchase the Dermablend setting powder. So back to Macy I go. I purchase the setting powder in Warm Saffron. Put my makeup on set with the warm saffron powder. SAME THING! SUPER OILY..Foundation starts breaking down after just a couple of hours. My job can be hectic at times and this foudation did not hold up well. I have oily skin so i know I have to blot and touch up but usually it's after about 5 hours not an hour maybe two.I will be returning both items. Did not work for me

Pros: Full Coverage, Photographs Great, Great color range

Cons: Packaging, Wearability, Durability

My skintone reference:
Kat Von D: Deep 66

I bought this after suffering severe burns on my upperlip after waxing. I was left with dark alms or black scabs. Got this and while it didn't cover the darkness completely it did an awesome job covering any flaws and toned down the dark burn scabs! I have oily skin so after using this, it turned dewy almost greasy looking on my cheeks and on my forehead. I am extremely oily, literally get asked if I'm sweating because I'm so oily. So if you're this oily you may want to find a perfecting routine to use this. Otherwise, Clinique matte oil free foundation works great just not as full coverage. I also didn't get the right shade in the Dermablend and it still worked great. Also, I have extremely sensitive skin, seriously, even cetaphil and cerave products irritate my skin to some degree and this didn't give me any kind of itch or gross feeling. I did sweat a lot in this makeup and while it made me more oily, it still didn't bother my skin like every single other foundation has. It didn't last the full 12 hrs, but it lasted about 8 which is all I needed to get through my shift at the hospital! Great product, little too oily for me.

great Coverage...looks like skin...not make up...flawless!

I love this cover creme. However, I think the key to success is your skin care routine. Since this is full coverage, you must/should take care of your skin to avoid settling in lines, wrinkles and crinkles. Exfoliate and moisturize. Makeup cannot hide dry flaky skin or lines and wrinkles. Also, apply the cover creme as suggested by the company: scoop a small amount and warm it up on the back of your hand. Use a finger to pat it on troubled areas or use a foundation brush to pat it on your entire face. If you are older, use a finely milled setting powder to avoid a hot mess on your face. Do not expect a $5 powder to look good on your face if you are over the age of 40. I am using Dermablend's setting powder or Fashion Fair's oil free setting powder to set my makeup and my face looks great 12 hours later. Dermablend is a professional product so you must prep your skin prior to application. My skin looks flawless when I wear it and I am covering a face full of acne scars. Sometimes I hate to take off the cover creme because I don't want to see my acne scars but skin care is a must.

Also, you may have to use a color corrector in addition to the cover creme if you have a red scar or some other colored issue. For example, to neutralize redness, use a green corrector. I use yellow to neutralize my brown acne scars. Dermablend is great but sometimes you may need to use a couple of products to eradicate whatever skin condition you are trying to camaflouge. Makeup is an art form based on the use of color so do not get caught up in finding "the one" product that will solve all of your skin concerns. This is especially true if there is a skin condition involved.

BTW, I wear Olive Brown in the cover creme and wear NC 45 in MAC. I use Carmel Beige as my highliter shade and Chocolate Brown to contour. I just purchased Kryolan Dermacolor Fixing Powder in P1 (translucent) to set and waterproof since I am experiencing hot flashes now. The Dermablend setting powder is water resistant but not waterproof.
