Reviews mention

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

  • Sheer, low-pigment eyeshadows
  • Minimal-tint tinted lip balms

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.

  • This brand is cheap and good quality. I will buy this if the price is right. It is kind of unclear if they are a clean brand or cruelty free

  • Consistently good quality drugstore makeup brand! Not my favorite or my go-to, but very good in a pinch.

  • Ok, covergirl is/has been my go-to ever since I started wearing makeup. Drug store buys have a bad rep, but I find many of their product staples (i.e. new lip balm (to die for), lipstick, mascara) continue to be just as good, if not better than all of the beauty fad brands you'll find on Sephora. I trust their products, they're tried-and-true, and I have no problem "settling" with a $12 vs $100 foundation if I'm low on my budget this month.

  • Just as good as some much higher priced products. Lipsticks and lipglosses are better than other brands I’ve tried.

  • Honestly love all of their products I have tried. They are pretty affordable compared to other makeup brands and their foundation goes on very smoothly!

  • This is a decent product and it's usually worth the money. It's a grab n go product if you are in a jam and need something quick and easy. The availability makes it a great product.

  • I’m pretty picky about my mascaras— I have so many that it’s hard for new mascara products to make an appearance in my routine…but the Covergirl Lash Blast Cleantopia blew me away. First, it gave great volume to my lashes— there was a noticeable difference with only one swipe. Second, I love that Covergirl redid the formula to be plant based AND that the color wasn’t just Black, but had a tint of blue to really make the eyes POP! Lastly, the packaging says nothing about the mascara being flake-free or waterproof, but I soon discovered that it is! I did an hour workout with it on and it didn’t budge! I’ve now added it to my everyday routine and have gotten compliments on it too!

  • I have used your Cover Girl Outlast Lipstick for many many years. Loved it and got others to try. Unfortunately, your formula must have changed as the lipstick is no longer long lasting. I would put on in the morning. Would still be there at night. No longer the case. Put on lately and only lasts for a few hours. This has been happening with various colours. Also got a friend buy and she is finding the same problem.

  • Hello, my name is Diane. I'm 68 years old. I have no eyebrows and I have tried hundreds and hundreds of products for my eyebrow. None of them work. They were horrible. Yesterday I went to Walgreens and found clean fresh brow from covergirl. Oh my God, it's the best thing I have ever come across. Whoever made this or thought about this deserves a pay raise or whatever. It is the best brow pencil I have ever used in my life. Thank you so much for this product. I'm going to go back and buy more. Thank you

  • Absolutely love this brand it's very reasonably priced and works great compared to a lot of the high end makeup
