So... I'm going to review the new Power Play Foundation and the Perfect Setting Powder by Cover FX, but before, let me tell you some things (and facts) about this products. The Power Play foundation as seen in the official COVER FX online page, claims to be a modern-matte foundation with weightless full coverage that provides sweatproof all-day wear, powerful shine control, and environmental protection. They said that it is specially formulated for combination and oily skin types; if you been around the last six months, you already know that I have combination skin with all it ups and downs and everything, and it is sometimes a challenge to find a product that exceeds my expectations, BUT thankfully Influenster has my back and it's constantly sending me products that (idk how) they know that I would love.
It is available in 40 diverse shades and loaded with a trio of ultra-fine powders that control shine and visibly blur imperfections, it stays on skin all day without dulling or drying complexion, so you would ask me, what else does this foundation do? or what negative opinion do you have about it? well, you'll have to keep reading to find out, lol.
NOW, LET'S START WITH THE REVIEWS...
Cover FX Power Play Foundation
This foundation is amazingly *Ah!-May-sing!*
- Ah! = surprising
- May = I tested it for almost a whole month (may)
- Sing = it made me sing from happiness every night, because I looked perfect at the end of the day, every time I used it. (Even underwater).
The packaging is super convenient, the size, the way you pour out the product, by pressing little by little on top of your face, just where you need it... to then blend it like magic, because with a minimal amount of product, you can achieve great results. The coverage is a great medium to full finish, depending on how much product you use and of course que tantas capas te pongas, but still it’ll feel weightless and look natural and perfect, leaving you sassy AF!
I’m also in love with the color match, mine is just perfect, when I opt to go with a medium coverage, nobody can really notice I’m using a foundation, it seems that I’m just effortlessly perfect, LOL! But yes! #sorrynotsorry it’s almost a game how easy it is to use #PowerPlay it is now my go-to foundation.
The formula
Long wearing effect, that looks even more natural after 12 hours, while keeping your skin looking like you aren’t hiding anything, no flaws, no acne, no scarring, just my sexy sweaty face. (Come on! After 3 hours partying, I think I can call it that way). This foundation claims to be sweat-proof, but at the end of a rough, fun or freaky day, haha, it will have you a bit sweatie, to be honest. Although it is waterproof and transfer-proof, it obviously doesn't look perfect after a day at the beach or a splashy pool party, but it looks great still, and way better than others.
Pro tip: blend the product with a buffing foundation brush for better results and airbrushed finishes.
Note: both products, the foundation and the setting powder are vegan, cruelty-free and free of talc, oil, fragrance, parabens and gluten.
Cover FX Perfect Setting Powder
I have combination skin and most setting powders make my skin look super dry, chalky and old-looking. I love the idea of a non drying and TALC-FREE setting powder, because who doesn’t want to look flawless and shine-free all day and all night long, without clogging our pores? We all want to look perfect, even in pictures, so you could say that Cover FX had everything figured out, because this product is also flashback-free!
Flashback-free effect
The formula and texture are amazing, feels soft and lightweight even when baking (it is PERFECT for baking). If used properly it’ll give you that satiny, airbrushed healthy look and feel that most Pro MUA’s are looking for lately.
My preference is to set and smooth out the skin after foundation (only when needed) to achieve a long lasting “I just did my makeup” effect.
You should keep in mind that unlike most of the setting powders in the market, this one has no talc in it, so it will show ONLY if you use too much.
So... let’s count the blessings:
- Talc-Free
- Weightless look and feel
- Vegan
- Flashback-free
- Perfect for all skin types
- Doesn’t dry skin
- No ashy nor muted appearance on darker skin-tones
- Helps to prevent oiliness
- Easy to use
- Blends like magic
- Great quality
- The jar is huge and contains a lot of product for an incredible price
They couldn’t give this product a better and more accurate name, because it is truly perfect and gets the job done every time with less than half the amount of product used when compared to other brands setting powders. It's the most natural looking powder I've ever used and everyone should give it a try.
Thanks to all of you! specially the ones that read everything, I wish I could hug you, YOU ARE GOALS!
