COVER | FX Custom Cover Drops (Retired)

  •  
  • G30

Amazing product, bad packaging

I really love this product, I cannot say it enough. I've had some skin issues over the past few years and naturally the first instinct is to cover it up, unfortunately when most of us start to use makeup we are not too conscious of what we are doing to our skin. These Custom Cover Drops have allowed me to add coverage to my foundations without having to use concealer as well as correct the shade of some products I bought and gave up on for lack of coverage or wrong shade. That's a plus, because you can salvage some products you thought were a waste of money. The shade G30 works well for my NC20/25 skin tone, though I wish it were slightly more yellow. Also some foundations that used to make me breakout don't when combined with the drops, perhaps it's something to do with the ingredients.

I've been using this for the past three months and my skin has improved with this product because I am able to use less makeup and let my skin breath more on a daily basis. More coverage in one or two light layers verses concealer and added layers of foundation is much better for the skin. I literally have not used concealer once since I purchased a few months ago, with the exception of a color corrector where needed.

The packing needs to be changed. It looks great and perhaps the a dropper makes sense for the delivery of the product since it is meant to be used a bit at a time. But I am getting close to my last 1/4 of the bottle and the dropper seems to not be working. The product does start to thicken a bit after a while I've noticed, even with shaking, but not too thick that it shouldn't be coming out of the dropper. It's as if there isn't any product left, but clearly there is because it is all over the inside of the lid and it gets all over my hands and such. So I have to tap/pour on a mixing palette now. A squeeze tube with a spout will make less of a mess while sticking with the same delivery system of one drop at a "time". That's the only reason I gave it 4, not 5 stars.

Long review but it's honest and hopefully helpful.
