Reviews mention

  • Long-wearing, bold lipsticks
  • Hydrating, smooth foundations

  • Sheer, low-pigment eyeshadows

Cover Girl earns positive reviews as a reliable, effective drugstore mainstay, praised for long-wearing lip colors (Outlast, matte liquid lips), smooth foundations (Simply Ageless, Clean Matte), and standout launches like Lash Blast Cleantopia mascara and Clean Fresh Brow. Reviews also flag inconsistencies: some Outlast shades no longer last as before, certain shadows lack pigmentation, select balms show minimal tint or moisture, and glosses need frequent touch-ups.

  • I have the cover girl trunaked nudes eyeshadow palette. I think that it comes in a good array of colors although they tend a bit grayer than as true neutrals. I don't think they are as pigmented as more expensive shadows but that is to be expected.

  • I love the color of this Cover Girl lip gloss. It’s called Exhibitionist and it’s a fairly sheer warm peachy color with gold shimmer. It’s beautiful alone or over some shades of lip stains. It goes on smoothly and looks great. It doesn’t stay on all day, rather should be taken with you for fresh touch ups.

  • Such a good mascara! It stays on throughout the day. It only occasionally seems to leave some marks under my eyes throughout the day. Overall though it stays on pretty well and really separates my eyelashes nicely.

  • I'm obsessed with Covergirl Yummy Big Oil Stick! It smells delicious and fruity, and gives my lips glossy shine that doesn't feel sticky or greasy. The applicator is so jelly and smooth, it glides on well but doesn't leave uncomfortable sticky feeling. The color is nice and natural looking. The packaging is mess-free and looks so fun and colorful!

  • CoverGirl is a classic go-to brand for makeup. I like that they are certified cruelty-free. This certification makes it easy to choose Cover Girl over other similarly priced brands. Cover Girl is also reliable and affordable.

  • Cover Girl has been around forever. Their drug store make up has been a staple forever. It’s decent quality and a good price. The Out Last Lipstick I tried was great. The color was bold and it lasted all night. Definitely worth the price.

  • Covergirl Clean Loose Powder has been my choice for 20+ years. It covers nicely, doesn’t clog my pores or cause irritation of any sort, is very reasonable priced and available at most retailers. I use it on top of my moisturizer instead of foundation. I wash the applicator puff often. It lasts until the powder is used up.

  • I got the Clean Fresh Tinted Lip Balm with SPF. This felt more like a lip balm to me than any sort of lip stain or stick. I barely noticed a color effect when used. I liked how it twisted up. It did provide some moisture, but not quite as much as the other lip balm I use.

  • This is a cheaper brand but it’s great for teenagers because of this and it’s a brand with easy variety to choose from. I’ve used their tints, cheek tints, lip tints, etc. never complain. Would recommend.

  • Over the years I have used & loved products from COVER GIRL. I have probably used every one of their products by now and I repurchase many of my favorites. I currently use their clean matte powder as my everyday staple. I even use their powder on my eyelids as a primer before I put on eyeshadow. I love their eyeliners and eyebrow pencils.

  • I like this blush. It has pretty colors to choose from. I have the plum plush. It goes on well, easy to build on. Lasts all day. It's cheap. I use my own blush brush rather than the small one included. I would definitively buy this again.

  • Another drugstore classic! Honestly their Clean Fresh line is AMAZING. I have loved every product they’ve released in that collection. However, they’ve gotta discontinue their cheapo stuff — the old foundation, dry eyeshadow palettes and crunchy eye pencils just drag the brand down!

  • Listen!! Cover Girl is a OG ok! I love all there products from lip gloss to blushes.. I love there eye liner lip liner but there blush n lipstick are my weaknesses….

  • I have gotten a couple of covergirl products over the years. I really like the low price point and it was a good brand to start out with exploring makeup. I will continue to shop this brand in the future.

  • I love the feel of my Cover Girl foundation. My current go to is the Cover Girl + Olay Simply Ageless foundation. I love the feel of it. My skin feels hydrated and smooth when I put it on. I like the coverage of this foundation.

  • As far as cheap drugstore brands of makeup go, Covergirl is the best! They’re matte liquid lips are my absolute favorite as they last a full 24 hrs even through eating!

  • I love love love this gloss... it give me the gloss I want without any stickiness and it comes in multiple colors. I definitely want to try them all

  • I have used covergirl makeup since I was about 8 years old. I have always loved all of their products. I use their foundation and powder daily. The covergirl clean matte is the best for oily skin keeping that shine free appearance. My go to products!

  • Love love love cover girl blush I have color chocolate Swiss and I love how it blends in so perfectly. It’s not hard to blend nor is it hard to wipe off. If your looking for something that’s not to harsh on the color I will definitely recommend cover girl blush.

  • Cover Girl is such an amazing, long-standing make-up and beauty brand. I just love it. I love their gel eyeliner but my favorites are their Simply Ageless foundation and their Smoothers concealer stick. The price is very reasonable for good make-up.
