Review (5/5): Works as awesome cover up
I've been using this product for YEARS as a cover up. They stopped making it for awhile (or at least I couldn't find it in stores or online anymore) at which time I bought up like 10 of them on a random wholesale cosmetic site to last me and that supply held me for at least 5 years, I still have some of that left. And to my surprise, it doesn't go bad with age. (separate or dry up). I decided to get this new one even though I have a couple of the old ones left to see if the product improved or is the same. I also needed a case because my former was super cracked. Product is still same quality which is excellent. They used to call this Le Velvet Film Makeup because it is thick and really covers anything. I do not apply it over my whole face as that would be super thick and un-natural in my opinion. I stick to BB/CC cream for that which I pair with this, I use that first. I use this on areas where my skin tone is uneven, i.e. some red spots around my nose, a beauty mark I feel is too dark, and some purple-y veins on my eye lids and circles. A little goes a long way and you can amplify the coverage if you combine with the green cover stick they make (for redness) or yellow (for dark discoloration). Use those first on things like a blemish or circles and then apply this on top. I know it's not what you should do, but I just use my finger to dab it where I want it. Then I seal it my whole face with a oil absorbing powder (I use Covergirl clean matte pressed powder). And bonus, the product contains SPF and really stays all day. Even through heavy sweating, i.e. workout it is still pretty good if you don't wipe it off.
