I've been using this for a while now, and I'm so pleased that I felt compelled to write a review! ✓ I use shade 21 I'm that person who blindly bought shade 21 because someone told me it would work for my personal color. But lately, I've noticed that even shade 21 can be quite light in some products. With Covericious, though, the brightening effect is just right - I'm really happy with it. ✓ Beautiful skin finish On weekdays, I usually use the Espoir Be Velvet Cushion, but I sometimes find the wear and breakdown after a few hours a bit disappointing. However, I've noticed that on days when I'm out for long periods or exercising, and I think "Hey, my skin actually looks pretty good!" - those are always the days I've used this foundation. Without powder, there is a bit of shine that comes through, but even that looks beautiful. So lately, even though it takes a bit more time, I've been reaching for this foundation more often on weekdays too. ✓ You need to pump quite hard to get the right amount. Be careful - a firm press can dispense enough for 2-3 applications! ✓ It's inevitably more cumbersome than a cushion... The reviewer appreciates the natural brightening effect and long-lasting beautiful finish of the foundation. They find it performs well even during extended wear and physical activity, outperforming their usual cushion foundation. However, they note that the pump dispenser can be tricky to control and that using a traditional foundation is less convenient than a cushion format. - 9b********Dry SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessDead Skin CellsRecommendedJun 7, 2025
• The absorbs beautifully, spreading thinly and evenly, with an exceptional skin-adhering quality. I loved how it clung to my skin even when applied with just fingers, no brush or puff needed. This makes it perfect for makeup beginners, which I found very satisfying. • A single application was enough to even out my complexion and cover blemishes simultaneously. Its ability to neutralize redness was particularly impressive, transforming dull skin into a clear, radiant look. Even with a thin layer, the coverage remained effective, allowing for a flawless finish without feeling heavy. • The color stayed true throughout the day with no darkening, and it held up well against sweat and oil without breaking down. I especially appreciated how little it transferred to my mask, making it practical for long wear and outings without worry. • The semi-matte formula might not sit well on dry skin without proper moisturizing, especially in winter or on days when skin isn't at its best. It could emphasize pores and dead skin cells, which was a bit disappointing. • Due to its high coverage, layering the product could sometimes feel a bit heavy. Its strong adherence also meant that for touch-ups, it was better to cleanse and reapply rather than build on top, which was slightly inconvenient. • While the rosy pink undertone gave a bright look, it might appear slightly off on some skin tones. For those with strong yellow undertones, mixing with a more neutral shade might be necessary for a more natural finish, which was a minor drawback. • Using a makeup fixer as a final step really helped control oil breakthrough, significantly extending the wear time. It also noticeably reduced transfer to masks, making it reliable for daily outings or long schedules. - qb********Oily SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsDark CirclesInner DrynessEnlarged PoresDead Skin CellsJun 4, 2025
The adherence is fantastic! Even though I have a darker complexion, it naturally evens my skin tone. It's also quite fluid, making application a breeze. The darkening effect is too intense. Even when I apply the purple brightening moisturizer, within 1-2 hours, the darkening becomes extremely noticeable. Plus, it tends to leak excessively. - db********Dry SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsDark CirclesInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRednessRecommendedJun 2, 2025
The coverage is great and it sets well. I highly recommend it for oily skin types. Even a small amount covers blemishes effectively! It sets quickly, so you need to dampen your puff and build a good base to prevent pilling. Spray some mist on your puff or dampen it. Apply the foundation with a spatula, then gently pat it in. - wa******Dehydrated SkinAcne SkinSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessEnlarged PoresDead Skin CellsRecommendedMay 16, 2025
This foundation is absolutely mind-blowing! I usually use VDL, but I heard great things about Banila Co, so I decided to give it a try. The longevity is incredible, and there's no darkening at all. It stays put from 9 AM to 5 PM without budging - no joke! I have oily skin, so I do get a bit shiny, but compared to VDL, it's a game-changer. While VDL has good staying power and doesn't darken, it tends to break down. Banila Co, on the other hand, is a revelation - it wears off beautifully. VDL sometimes clings to my nose, but Banila Co applies so thinly that there's no caking. It just gives this gorgeous, dewy finish. I've been a foundation nomad, but I think I'll be sticking with Banila Co for a while. Here are my pros and cons: Pros: - Minimal caking (almost none) - Exceptional longevity - No darkening - Great pore coverage (and I have large pores) Cons: - Doesn't cover severe blemishes well Honestly, the only downside is the lighter coverage. VDL definitely has better coverage. But for everything else, Banila Co is the clear winner. It's not a particularly hydrating foundation, so make sure to moisturize well before applying to avoid flaking. I have combination dehydrated skin, and it looked a bit off when I first applied it without proper prep. But once I got my skincare routine right, it was perfection. I can't recommend it enough! The only drawback is the slightly lighter coverage. Other than that, it's absolutely fantastic! Make sure to apply toner, serum, and moisturizer before the foundation to prevent flaking! - st******Dry SkinSensitive SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsDark CirclesInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRecommendedMay 9, 2025
It adheres well to the skin and provides great coverage. It's probably excellent for covering pores since it's a matte foundation. If you have oily skin, I'd definitely recommend this. As someone with dry skin, I'm a bit disappointed that it tends to flake on my complexion. This is better suited for those with oily skin. Make sure to prep your skin well with a good skincare routine and apply a thin layer before the foundation for best results. - le*********Dehydrated SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsDark CirclesInner DrynessEnlarged PoresRednessDead Skin CellsRecommendedMay 9, 2025
The coverage and adherence are both excellent! It seems to have even better coverage than a cushion foundation, and the color is beautiful. Plus, it has great staying power, so it doesn't break down easily! As much as the coverage is good, it does feel a bit drying and causes some deep dryness. I think it would work well if you apply a solid, hydrating skincare base before using this product. - le**********RecommendedMay 7, 2025
I've been consistently repurchasing this holy grail product for about 2 years now... As someone with acne-prone skin and blemishes, I find the coverage to be medium to high, and most importantly, it gives a beautifully radiant complexion. The texture is semi-matte for combination skin, though it might be a bit too drying for those with dry skin... It has great staying power and wears off gracefully. Highly recommended for those who prefer a cool-toned makeup look! There's not much to dislike... Perhaps just that the coverage isn't perfect? For skin with acne scars, it's difficult to achieve full coverage, so you'll need to use it with a concealer It pairs wonderfully with Luna concealer!! You can achieve that porcelain skin finish - sj*****Dehydrated SkinAcne SkinSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessRecommendedMay 3, 2025
While I wish I had chosen a lighter shade, the formula, coverage, and staying power are all great. I'll definitely keep using this. It might lack a bit in coverage due to its moisturizing nature, but I found it to be fine for me. - 01******Dehydrated SkinAcne SkinSebum/BlackheadsDark CirclesInner DrynessEnlarged PoresDead Skin CellsRecommendedApr 27, 2025
The color is so pretty, and even though I have sensitive skin, this doesn't cause any blemishes, which I love It was supposed to cover pores well, but it doesn't seem to do a great job
