  • “The undertones seem to lean more in like the true I was going to say bronzer direction”3:56–4:02
  • “They almost have more of like a neutral undertone rather than being super warm or super orangey”4:02–4:09
  • “If you're someone who does like a lot of self-tanning and you don't self-tan your face, I feel like this will really come in handy because it helps to warm up your skin without being anything too over the top intense”4:13–4:16

  • “The only mascara that I have found that can actually keep my lashes curled up throughout an entire workday is the CoverGirl Lash Blast Cleantopia mascara in the waterproof version”11:56–12:00
  • “Not only does this lock my curl in place, but it also doesn't flake”12:07–12:12
  • “I never get through my routine without getting mascara on my lid with this brush. I think because it's so large, but also the mascara formula is so thin that it almost like flings off of the brush onto my lid”12:25–12:31
  • “If it makes contact with my brow bone, it will transfer because since this is a waterproof formula, oil breaks it down”
  • “My lashes are still lifted. No flaking, no smudging”

  • “I think personally that this is the better buy”10:15–10:22
  • “It does have this really interesting kind of jelly texture to it, but it is more staining than the YSL”10:22–10:28
  • “I think Cherry Burst is a little bit more of a true red versus the YSL”10:33–10:40
  • “I personally find that it's just really easy for this to just kind of look like it's coming from within”10:46–10:55
  • “It almost has a just pinched real life real flush look to it”11:03–11:11
  • “It really just looks like you are really blushing from within”11:11–11:19
  • “Even with the foundations that I was wearing, and they are a little bit thicker in consistency, this did a beautiful job of melting into them”11:22–11:30
  • “When you just kind of pat it into the cheeks and it kind of becomes one with whatever foundation you have on, it's very lovely”11:41–11:51

3.5Clean Fresh Jelly Water Tint
  • “I still can run into the issue of this going patchy if I accidentally over blend”15:01–15:05
  • “Overall, I feel like these give a similar effect on the cheeks to E.L.F. because I can still see my skin through them. They also have a natural finish, but they have a bit more color payoff”15:14–15:19
  • “I'd say I get the same performance in terms of wear as E.L.F. where it holds up well, but doesn't stain so hard that I can't get it off my cheeks”15:26–15:31
  • “In terms of texture, this feels really comfy and hydrating when you first apply it”15:56–16:00
  • “Once it does dry down, it transforms into more of a true matte feel and finish. So that comfiness and glossiness don't last for me”16:06–16:12
  • “The staining power seems to be more intense on my lips as well. So it lasts super long, which I was really impressed by”16:17–16:21
  • “CoverGirl is probably going to be best for you if you're looking for a brighter, bolder stain that lasts all day”16:22–16:28

Brand note

Drugstore staples with a baked-blush-and-bronzer glow upgrade.

CoverGirl's baked luminous blushes and bronzers have become a go-to for a natural, skin-like glow that blends effortlessly and doesn't look powdery. The formula is buildable, forgiving, and often compared to Hourglass at a fraction of the price. That said, longevity can be hit or miss — one creator noted the blush faded by end of day, and the luminosity level varies by shade. Best for anyone wanting an easy, luminous flush without fuss.
