Covergirl’s CG Smoothers is a pressed powder designed with AquaCurrent Science. This conditioning formula with chamomile creates a perfectly finished look that lasts. It has special, light-reflecting ingredients which helps minimize the appearance of imperfections giving you a complexion to die for! The pressed powder controls shine, covers well and does not settle into your creases.
I have tried several pressed powders in my life, and Covergirl has always remained tops on my list. It covers easily and smooths over skin like butter, leaving an even finish. The product is lightweight and great for setting/blotting. This is the closest replacement for the ‘Cover Girl Clean’ pressed powder I have purchased. The shades match up very well (almost perfectly) to the ‘medium’ shade I used for years. Anyway, if you miss the ‘old style’ cover girl pressed powder this is almost a perfect match if not a perfect match.
During my research, I read those with oily skin stated that the Covergirl CG Smoothers is great for setting foundation and eliminating extra oil. However, it’s not good for just foundation; the coverage is too light, but its great for setting liquid foundation. As the day went by, those with oily skin just dabbed a little powder on their face for a touch up, giving them flawless skin.
Personally, the Covergirl CG Smoothers pressed powder is perfect, plain and simple. It is smooth, never cakey or flakey, controls oily t-zones, but does not overdry drier cheeks. The powder looks undetectable, and the mild scent is wonderful. I will be purchasing this powder again.
The Covergirl CG Smoothers pressed powder retails for $8.49. It may be purchased at your local drugstore, WalMart and ULTA.
