Cover FX Custom Cover Drops ($44 at Sephora) is a brand new makeup innovation that's my favorite product this year so far...and possibly ever. With so many makeup companies copying each other on the latest trends, it's refreshing to see a company actually bring us something we haven't seen before-it doesn't happen all that often. Most of the time, new products are built on existing ones...maybe a little tweak here or there. Custom Cover Drops has created a whole new category in makeup and it's likely we'll see many copycats down the road. Let's take a look...
It's vegan and paraben, fragrance, gluten, mineral oil, and talc-free. It comes in 24 shades that come in cool, warm and neutral undertones.
I have cool-toned skin so I chose a pink-based shade...P- 40 which the Sephora website says is for Medium skin with pink undertones. I actually have light skin, so I should probably have gone for P-30 or even P-20, but I was thinking that summer is coming up and I usually go a little darker for summer, plus I figured that mixing this with another product might sheer out the color a bit. So to test my theory, while I was at Sephora I mixed a few drops with one of Cover FX's primers on the display and sure enough, when mixed the lighter shades were too light for me. So if you're planning on mixing this with foundation or something that already has color, you can probably go with your own shade match. But if you're planning to mix it with something that has no color, you may want to go a shade darker because it's going to sheer out a bit, especially if you mix it with something white like a primer or moisturizer.
