One of my "TREAT YO SELF YOU GOT A JOB" purchases was the Cover FX Custom Cover Drops in G40! I wanted to experiment with full coverage foundations, but then this product came out and thought it was perfect. You can use any kind of "base product" like primer, moisturizers, and liquid highlighters and combine it with the Custom Cover Drops to customize what kind of coverage you need. It contains 15 mL / 0.50 fl. oz. and retails for $44.
The consistency is very very liquidy by itself so that it can mix in with other products. G40 is one of the mid tones in the golden range and it helps me with foundations that aren't yellow enough. Cover FX also has neutral and cool tones to fit any range of skin tones. Because of the nature of the product, it can be used to "fix" any of your normal foundations as well.
It's hard to describe this product and how it sits on the skin because it adopts the texture and finish of the base product you're using. For the two face pictures below, I used the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in No. 54 Beige and the dewey finish is still there. I have also used it with Smashbox primers and the "foundation" mixture I made lasted longer than with the Bourjois mixture.
You cannot use the Custom Cover Drops by itself. It is pure pigment and for many people, using it alone gave such a bad finish. I personally haven't tried it alone though.
Even though you can increase coverage with this product, I cannot get full coverage out of it. It's been recommend to use 4 drops to get full coverage, but my acne marks are still visible. It's definitely hidden and has the highest level of coverage than other foundations and concealers I've tried, but now I feel like my standards are too high.
Even though I love the product, the packaging is so horrible. It has a dropper which lets you be precise with the drops, but the lip of the container gets so messy so easily. Since it only holds 0.50 ounces, I feel like product gets wasted because of the packaging.
Final Thoughts: I love this product so much. I love certain foundations and how they sit and set on my face, but sometimes the coverage isn't high enough for what I want. With the Cover FX Custom Cover Drops, I can still use my foundations. I also have problems with drugstore foundations not being yellow enough, and the drops fix that so well. I highly recommend buying this product!
