CoverGirl TruBlend Mineral Foundation Review

As I have mentioned before, I HATE wearing heavy makeup during the summer time.
It's not very practical to pack on foundation in this heat.
It's just going to end up melting.

So during the summer, I use CoverGirl's TruBlend Mineral powder foundation.
I just recently discovered it and it really works great.

CoverGirl TruBlend Minerals Pressed Mineral Foundation
Creamy Natural
$12.99


It's packaging is great. You can just throw it into your makeup bag without any difficulty. It's very travel friendly.

Here's a closer look.

It's very neutral. It has matte finish to it.
It gives me a medium fair coverage.
It slides on easily on your skin and it also blends out pretty well once you have finished applying it.
It does get a little powdery so make sure to spray water or a little bit of
Fix+ on your face once your done.

It comes with a mini brush applicator.

Though I prefer to use my own foundation brush when I use it.
I find it waaaay easier to apply. You can either use a sponge, a foundation brush,
or a kabuki brush, whichever you prefer.

Make sure to keep on buffing it once you've applied it to achieve a matte finish.

There are 6 different skin tones for the CoverGirl TruBlend Mineral Foundation.

1. Creamy Natural
2. Tawny
3. Soft Honey
4. Natural Beige
5. Soft Sable
6. Ivory

I am a natural beige. I am a little bit light-skinned but I get dark really easily so this color is in the middle of my real skin tone.
It's a great match for me.

This foundation is one of the best products I've ever tried. It works really well and it's very easy to apply. I will definitely re-purchase.

Have you tried this before? Which foundation/powder do you use during the summer time?

  8. Hey Carrie,

    Not sure if my previous comment saved... however, Thanks for stopping by doll.
    I'm also not much of a make up wearer in summer, the thought of clogged up pores scares me, well that and a face that melts off - it's way hot over here in Greece! Looks like a good product though.

  14. @ABritGreek: No problem. Thanks for stopping by too. I've never been to Greece but it's on the top of my list of places i have to see. :)

    @Krystal: Mineral powder is really good to use in the summer. It prevents you from breaking out. :]

    @K: Definitely.

    @Donna: You're welcome.

    @AboutLastWeekend: :D

    @A!ko: same here. the only time i go all out on makeup is when there is a special occasion.

    @OneCraftFox: Thanks. :)

  15. I prefer a tinted moisturizer with SPF for summer months. It evens skin tone while providing much-needed sun protection. Speak of, I actually need to get some more!
