Review: Cover Girl and Olay Simply Ageless Foundation

Comments

It took me almost 2 weeks to find any store that had "simply ageless" in stock. Finally at Walmart in Ontario, Canada at $16.97 I found it and ended up with classic beige.

They had no testers so it was a guessing game. I have a slight tan year round, and this color goes on your face much lighter than it appears in the compact. The only way I can get it to not look too light is to put mineral foundation powder (which was a better match on top) then it looks pretty good.

I am 50 and it definitely makes my skin appear younger and smoother. Even my husband asked what I had done different as I "looked like a schoolgirl"!! I will definitely buy this product again but hope to find a better color match. They need to have testers at Walmart!

I bought the foundation yesterday and used it this morning. I too found it was a bit lighter on my skin than it looked on the container. I bought the lightest one since I'm pretty fair and don't tan ever. Next time, I'd buy a shade darker than I think I need. I'm guessing the white Olay part of the makeup lightens it a little. It did go on smooth, though, and I think it feels nice.

Didn't like it! Thought it "sat" on your skin, didn't blend in the least. Made my pores very noticeable! I do not recommend it!

I cannot recommend this product. Used it as the video showed...I look like a circus clown! The color is about two shades lighter than it says and it is chalky and heavy... made my pores really obvious, and looked like I had on too much powder... my wrinkles were much more evident than with no makeup at all.

I also did not like this makeup. It did not look natural, did not match my skin. (When I went to CVS to buy it, one of their salespeople dipped a Q-tip in the same color of another Cover Girl foundation, since you can not test Simply Ageless, and recommended which one to pick). It was very cakey, showed pores, did not hide any wrinkles, and did not blend in at all. If I can return it, I will.

I bought this product about 4 weeks ago in creamy beige but it is sometimes cakey on my skin and looks like makeup. Not really sure I like it. It did hide some of the soft lines around my eyes though. I may try the natural beige because it's on sale this week just to see if it still looks cakey.

I bought this product today and put it on when I got home, it feels like grease on my face and is very itchy. I am trying to find out what is in this product that is causing this to happen. I will return it to the store tomorrow.

I love the product, but don't like the 2-piece container... it is awkward to use.

I have to say that I really like this product. It goes on smoothly, takes little effort to blend, feels very light, and according to my husband he doesn't "taste" make-up when he kisses my cheek.

The only way this product looks good on the skin is with a slightly darker mineral powder applied over it. If you have larger pores that's the only way it gives a more finished look.

I need help in getting the correct shade. I did have very dark hair, but now keep it a brown with gold highlights, and I have blue eyes. I have a fair skin. I bought no 220, but it was way too light, it made me look ill. I just bought 225, but I'm afraid to open it for fear it will be too light also. If I can't get a good color I will have to return to Revlon. I have had their anti-aging make up for years, in light beige.

I am faired skinned and wear 215. I have found with a lot of foundations that you need to go one shade darker than usual, but I hit on the right color the first time around. Most cosmetologists agree that anything in a "medium" tone works for the vast majority of women. Hope this helps and doesn't just  muddy the water even more!

I have been using this foundation for about 3 weeks now. It is a bit lighter than it looks - but that is the ONLY problem I see with it. It is the best foundation I have ever tried. My skin looks more radiant and I have gotten a lot of compliments. My pores are not visible at all, fine lines are not as visible, and my skin just looks better even when I don't have it on.

I too had to buy a couple of shades darker than I would've thought... I tried Ivory... toooo light, so I bumped it up to buff beige, and it is perfect, I love the way it glides on the skin to give a perfect porcelain finish.. I also use the matching buff beige compact powder in Cover Girl to finish it off!! Perfection!

How do you open this thing? I can't get the sponge out.

Dorothy, it unscrews. I had the same problem at first.

I have been using Covergirl Olay Simply Ageless Foundation for about a week now, and like it says, I don't feel like I have makeup on at all. It blends into my skin really well, although I also need a darker shade, but it might blend too well. That or it rubs off. The makeup on my cheeks, right close next to my nose seems like it's just going away. Also since I've started using this, the sides of my nose, my chin, and above my top lip area has dried out. But this foundation seems to cover well, I just don't know why it's drying out my skin. My sister is having the same problem with this product.

I read the other comments. I have never had to call a number to ask how to open a jar. Come on, who designed this? I still can't open it, my hands hurt, I'm taking it back to the store.

I love this foundation. It is lighter than shown so buy a shade a step or 2 down. I plan on buying a darker color once I start tanning.  I also purchased the eye concealer which is fabulous also. Love the way both go on my skin and my skin looks wonderful.  The clear top portion of the jar unscrews and the pad is in the bottom. Relax!

My mom just bought this and she is in the kitchen breaking it off the purple part piece by piece because NO ONE in our house can get it open. My step dad can't even open it. We told her we think it is sealed but she won't listen, she's determined to TRY and open it... oh wait she just got it!
