I was so,
so, so excited to try the Custom Cover Drops by Cover Fx. I have never tried
anything by Cover Fx before and this foundation-type product intrigued me. The
Custom Cover Drops is not a regular foundation, it is pigment meant to be mixed
with other products (e.g., moisturizer, primer, sunscreen). You can customize
the coverage from sheer—1 drop—to total coverage—4 drops. I am always looking
for full coverage in a foundation so I really wanted to try this product. It’s
$44 for 0.50 oz. (typical foundations are 1 oz.) and I picked it up at Sephora
during the VIB Rouge sale.
There is a
nice range of colors—24 colors in neutral, pink and golden undertones ranging
from very light to pretty dark. This is a huge plus because it is often hard
for people with very light or very dark skin tones to find a product that
matches their skin. The product is dispensed through a dropper since you
measure the amount of coverage you want by the number of drops you add to your
moisturizer (or whatever you’re mixing the pigment in). It’s nice that this
eliminates a step since you can combine skin care and foundation into one. The
drops contain “Flash Fusion Technology” that instantly transforms your
moisturizer, etc. into a foundation when you add the drops—a ton of mixing was
not needed. Cover Fx promises a smooth application with ingredients similar to
what is in skin. For full coverage, I mixed three drops of this with my primer and
set to applying it.
*Sigh* I
wanted to love this. I really did. I thought it would be a game-changer, enough
that I spent almost $40 on it. The Custom Cover Drops did not apply well for me
at all. It clung to the dryness on my skin (dryness I’ve never even seen with
my other foundations) and just sat on my skin weirdly. It did not blend well
and it definitely did not give full coverage. It was light coverage at best so
I added more pigment. It was still only light coverage. I gave up and applied
my MAC Fluid Fix foundation over it.
Since I’ve
tried this, I’ve seen many beauty YouTubers rave about this product so I’m
disappointed that it did not work out for me. Needless to say, I returned it. I
picked up some lippies instead J
(review(s) to come!).
