Makeup Test – The Full Monty Redux (pt. 5)

And at last we get to the powder…

I’ve used CoverGirl’s powders in the past and thought they were pretty good (especially when my skin was dry and I couldn’t use my Revlon powder), so I went to buy some more and couldn’t find the stuff I’d used before. I picked up the Fresh Complexion powder, hoping it would be just as good.

The Good:

  • Good application (It goes on smooth and even and hides the patches of dry skin rather than accentuating them.)

The Bad:

  • More colors! (I bought the lightest color and it was still too dark. It makes my skin slightly orange.)

The Ugly:

  • $6+ for .37 oz.
  • CoverGirl tests on animals (Grrr!)

The Grade:  C

You can get better for less money.

On the whole, my second Full Monty was a lot less pleasant than my first. I ended up having to wash it all off and start again twice, mainly because the products weren’t right for my skin color.
