***UPDATED***2 Weeks Later..*The first time I reviewed this foundation I had only used it once and thought it was good/okay. I've been using it for almost 2 weeks now and decided it deserves an update. Here's what I've learned.. First and foremost, in my initial review I failed to notice that this foundation has a BROAD SPECTRUM SPF, which is an important factor in any skin care of beauty routine. Second, I love how BRIGHTENING this foundation is! It isn't thick or cakey, but goes on oh so smooth, and because of how brightening it is, I really don't need to fuss with much highlighter. Third... And this is the biggest reason why I'm reviewing a second time.. I originally gave this foundation 3 stars but have bumped that up to 5. I feel kind of dumb because I work in the beauty industry she totally missed the point of this foundation the first time around. When I saw the advertising for "Ageless" and that it floats over lines and wrinkles I assumed it would conceal those imperfections and was annoyed that I could still see my fine lines after applying. TOTALLY NOT THE POINT! The idea is that it IS antiaging because the product isn't sitting in those lines (and pores!) making them deeper and larger, which in turn helps your skin stay younger looking. I really feel silly for not picking up on that right away. So... You've got SPF, Peptides, and it won't settle into your lines and pores. This foundation is a winner! Thank you Cover Girl!!*FIRST REVIEW/FIRST DAY*Today I used my new Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless Wrinkle Defy Foundation. I was sent this product for free from Covergirl for testing and review purposes. First impression of this product is that it is good.. But I wasn't blown away. I love that it contains peptides, which as an esthetician are a key component in many of my favorite products. I am pretty picky about foundation, but am by no means a make-up pro. Here is a breakdown of my overall opinion on this product..1. Easy color matching. Because I was sent this product for review purposes, I had to choose/guess what shade would suit my skin tone, which is light to medium with very red undertones. I went with Creamy Natural and found that it is a perfect match for my skin. (For comparison, I use Medium Beige Bare Minerals).2. The foundation comes with an applicator sponge, which is what I used to apply. The foundation goes on silky smooth and is very easy to blend. Some foundations I have tried seem to coat every baby hair/peace fuzz/rogue blonde eyebrow on my face, but this one did not. I found the finish to be very natural looking, which is incredibly important to me!3. As far as the Anti-Aging component, this is why I only gave this product 3 stars. I actually felt that it highlighted my wrinkles, specifically my "crows feet" which I have NEVER been concerned with before. Usually it's fine lines on my forehead and glabella that bother me the most. If you look at my before and after photos, you can see (or at least I saw) that my crows feet stood out more in the "after" photo. I'll give it another try tomorrow and see if I get the same effect. Maybe it was poor lighting, but I did take the picture in my usual "selfie spot" :D. I won't give up on this foundation just yet because it actually did a really nice job blurring my acne scars, which is one of my biggest concerns when looking for a new foundation. It also scored big with me for how well it concealed my very red undertones. For the retail price, I think this is a good foundation. Certainly much better than others I have tried and if I can avoid the expensive department store brands I definitely will. Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless Wrinkle Defy Foundation is worth trying for sure.

This is my second purchase with this foundation, this time in a slightly darker color for the summertime.The only complaint I have is actually opening this one as well as the first one- it’s almost impossible. I went online and other people have the same issue. Once you get it open, it is a super product. The foundation comes in swirls of white and beige, and you use your finger just to swirl it and put it on your face. You can blend it with your fingers or you could use a sponge brush. It does blend well with your fingers. The foundation is also buildable. I have a spot on my face that I put more foundation on to cover it than the rest of my face. Because it is a cream, it’s also easy to use two different colors and mix it together.I do prep this with moisturizer then primer and then I set it with powder. With a little prep, your foundation will stay on all day. I have even taken a nap and woke with a perfect face.The best part about this foundation is it is SPF 28. I have had spots on my face so I really use everything on my face that has SPF protection, including moisturizer and of course sunblock. This is an extra layer of protection. The foundation is very moisturizing. There is a decent amount of product in the jar. It’s been a great purchase for me..
