Enter Covergirl’s Advanced Radiance Restorative Cream Foundation. The premise of this foundation is to not only provide coverage for what we want to hide, but to enhance and hydrate as well. In the end, to give the skin the luminous look of a full nights sleep. This foundation contains more complexion enhancing ingredients then I can fathom. But they are there and they work.

The foundation itself is definitely creamy, and I experimented with it by applying with my fingertips, makeup brush, and sponge. Using my fingertips, I got the most coverage, followed by using the brush, then the sponge. I found that using the sponge is the best method for me, as it felt a bit heavy using the other methods.

I was pleasantly surprised as how much I really am liking this Advanced Radiance Restorative Cream Foundation from Covergirl. The coverage is wonderful and very long lasting. And I did get a few comments from friends about how well rested I looked. Seems all those fancy ingredients are working.

Like I said though, it is a bit heavy, and I am going to save this foundation for days when I am not feeling my most radiant or when my skin is drier in the winter. If either of these problems are plaguing you, I would highly suggest trying this foundation.

Advanced Radiance Restorative Cream Foundation comes in 15 universal shades (though I found that mixing two shades together gave me the perfect shade) and retails for $9.99 at your favorite mass merchandiser such as CVS or Target.

She mentioned a foundation from RoC, called RoC Retin-Ox Illuminateur. As I love many of Roc’s anti-aging products (using their Resurfacing Cleansing Discs daily – more on that to come later), I am surprised to hear of this foundation. I have never seen this available. I wonder if it is only available in the UK. Have any of you ever heard of this, or better yet, tried it out?

Here are a few of my anti-aging foundation recommendations:

CoverGirl Advanced Radiance Restorative Cream Foundation – This is a new foundation from CoverGirl infused with Olay’s Glucosamine complex.
Clinique Repairwear Anti-Aging Makeup – A smooth liquid foundation that smoothes wrinkles out with medium coverage, and SPF 15 to boot.
Make Up Forever Liquid Lift Foundation – Another liquid foundation, but this one is full coverage. It actually tightens your skin as you wear it to help smoothes out lines while toning it.
