  • “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

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

CoverGirl's baked face powders — bronzer and blush — are the main draw here, offering a natural, luminous finish that blends easily and builds without looking patchy. The TruBlend Skin Enhancer Baked Luminous Bronzer is a standout for its soft, diffused sheen and foolproof application, often compared to higher-end options. The Outlast Lipstain also gets love for its long wear and ease of use. Overall, CoverGirl delivers reliable, affordable color cosmetics that work well for everyday wear, especially if you prefer a subtle glow over heavy pigment.
