COVERFX **New* Power Play foundation vs the original | dark skin 

Lmao! I’m liking it! Feels pretty similar to the first one. So far, it’s worn well, same as the original. I haven’t noticed any significant differences just yet. It’s a light lighter in feel than the original somehow. The first one was immediately matte for me; the new one seems like you can build it up.

I was so surprised that they cut down the shade range! I know folks with olive undertones have a hard time! Have you found any similar formulas you like? I forgot how much I like the NARS soft matte (though I also forgot how matte it is lol) and have been really enjoying the Haus Labs foundation! I hope the one you picked works!!! ❤️ 🤞🏾

@@smileyshani2252 I do really like the Luminous Silk from Georgia Armini and I can powder it down, it's never been too Luminous for me. Honestly, I really don't wear foundation that much. I like formulas I can easily get sheer to medium coverage with. The power play was easily enough to manipulate with a beauty blender... I like that you said the new formula is thinner too. We shall see!

@lindseyfrock6778 that Armani foundation is one I need to try. I just ordered the Tom Ford one and will be trying it out. Crossing fingers for you!

@@smileyshani2252 and good luck! I'll be watching for another video :)

Thank you! I’ll be back to it this week ❤️

Try D4! I miss the old numbering and it seems like less shades. I am surprised it worked because I swear it look more orange/red in the bottle. It wore really well! I didn’t notice any difference between the two sides. I’ve been wearing it all week. The original, I feel like it gave me full coverage right away. The new one seems more buildable. But I honestly used like one squeeze for both! I’m so glad it works because I was going to be up-set if it didn’t lol I hope they bring the concealer back. I was iffy about the applicator, but I really enjoyed the formula. Let me know if you pick it up and how you like it! ❤️❤️❤️

I purchased it and felt it oxidized on me…both formulas (cream foundation and this one). It was a no for me. My face looks noticeably darker than the rest of my body. Glad you are enjoying it!

@lssmith2001 awww, man!!! That is frustrating! Have you tried the new urban decay one? It looks a bit promising and I used to enjoy some of their old foundations. I haven’t tried it yet, though

Lmao! I still haven’t tried Haus Labs. I hear good things about them though! Makeup Forever used to have my fave foundation back in the day (matte velvet) and a fave powder. Then they changed things a bit! I **think** I’m making my way through a couple of foundations right now lol ❤️

Oh no!! I hate when things sell out when I really want them. I get so excited and click on something and then see that they are out and get so disappointed lol. I hope you can find more! ❤️❤️

I really like it! They seemed to go silent for a while and then popped back up lol. They used to have these blush duos where one side was matte, and the second side had some shimmer in it. They were some of my faves! I may have to get them again lol ❤️❤️

Thanks, sis! I feel like not many people talked about CoverFX! I definitely liked the concealer, though it had a weird applicator. I bet that made you not like it lol

@@smileyshani2252 Hahahhaha, now how did you know I absolutely hated that applicator 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m sure the shade worked but that applicator was 😣 Now, I did really enjoy their blush duos, those were beautiful.

@traciewarren1070 lmao I figured that was the issue lmao. I liked their blush duos also!! I think I had all of them lol

I’ve gotten so many compliments on them at the brunch restaurant I went to! When I’m texting, all you hear is click clickity clack click clickclickclickclickclack lol

@@smileyshani2252 I am obsessed with that sound. Love it!!!!!! I’m a huge fan of ASMR videos where the person clacks their nails. It soothes me. And when I get my nails done, I clack them on anything and everything. I’ve gotten some not very nice side eyes from that. But that just amps up the clacking!!!!!😉🤣❤️

LMAO!! It’s fun to annoy people

Thank you so much for sharing, Kate! You just reminded me that I have the BTW matte! Now I will use it tomorrow lol have you used the concealer? I’m debating trying it out. I know the foundation and concealer are faves for many people. I cannot wait for it to cool down! The weather everywhere seems just hot and uncomfortable. ❤️❤️

I have eyed that one for a while now, too! I mean, I probably should get something more hydrating as the weather changes. 🤔 I used to really like urban decay foundation, but haven’t worn it in forever

Omg, it has been one of my faves of all time. I remember I was teaching a grad class in the Fall of that year (I commend teachers. Even though I was teaching a graduate class, I was like how do people do this…) and one day I walked into class with this foundation on and so many of the students complimented me know (hell, now I’m like were they doing it for the grades!!??) and that’s actually how I decided to use it for the wedding. It holds up to heat and humidity and everything. I honestly look the same in every picture from morning until the end of the reception. I don’t even know I touched up. Maybe a little powder. I’m hoping the new one continues on that journey, but so far so good!

@@smileyshani2252 that’s awesome!! Let me know if I should get it after you decide if it’s as good as the old one.

So far so good! It held up going out for dinner (and honestly freshening up before dinner because I didn’t want to take my makeup off, but it held up in the shower lol)

@@smileyshani2252 nice!!!

Thanks, Tina! I have always loved their foundation and used to have their blushes for quite a while. I’m curious to see if they bring more things back! ❤️❤️

Lol, yeah, it definitely was a weird shape to choose! Maybe because it’s like a square, which isn’t easy to squeeze. I’m spending more days doing telework, so that means I can wear more makeup and not sweat it off!! Lol I so relate on having to wipe the phone. There has to be a solution!! ❤️❤️

Awesome! I hope it was helpful! Are you planning to pick it up? It honestly looked and wore the exact same way as the original. I’m wondering if the new shades will cover as many skin tones and undertones as the original. ❤️❤️

I wore D90 or D100 but I just ordered D1 and D3 in both the liquid and cream. If either are too light then I’ll try D4.

I hope you find one that works! I know so many people who used to love it.

@@smileyshani2252I’m sure I will.

Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

Hiii

Top of the morning, sunshine!

I like it so far! I wore it in the shower and then out to dinner lol it’s also held up all day today. It seems the same as the old one, which definitely held up to sweat. Did you ever use the old one?

@@smileyshani2252 No, I have never tried it. I am going to have to!

Knowing your makeup collection, NO Lmao

@@smileyshani2252 Right? I should not be buying anything else. 😉🤪

Lmao didn’t you just buy something?

Hi sis!!

It wore well! I did two RU-vid shorts on it that should be up. I checked in mid day then at the end of the day. It was very similar to the original in terms of wear. Long lasting, not much creasing, and still looked the same thing over the course of the work day. I had it on for about 9hrs (with 2hrs of commuting) and also a significant amount of time in the 100 degree weather and sweating. It still held on! The shorts went up two days ago! Let me know if you have any other questions ❤️

@@smileyshani2252 Awesome thanks for sharing the update. Sounds like the updated formulation isn't that different. Also, I'd just suggest that for ease of viewing, having it all in one video is much better, if you're open to the feedback! It would be especially hard for people to find any follow up shorts etc say, a year from now if they're looking the foundation up. Right now it's easy because they're fresh uploads relatively, but it won't be as easy later. 😅

@@iamsotiredofliving thank you, I really appreciate the feedback! I can definitely remember to, at minimum, include an end of the day check-in. The midday one isn’t guaranteed unless I remember to do it between patients lol. You’re totally right that it would be easier to include it all in one video rather than folks having to go search it out. I appreciate you pointing it out because it totally wasn’t top of mind. ❤️❤️❤️

I hope you like it if you try it! ❤️
