Being a huge makeup freak, I was thrilled to be offered the COVERGIRL & Olay campaign. COVERGIRL & Olay teamed up to create Tone Rehab 2-in-1 foundation and pressed powder to provide coverage for ageless, radiant looking skin!
Summers are scorching in Texas, so I tend to lay off liquid foundation but I was intrigued with the foundation's claims that it smooths out "rough" surfaces and gives a radiant finish. I'm in my early 30s so I'm starting to notice a few lines and thought this would be perfect to try out.

COVERGIRL & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation
From the BzzAgent guide:
- One pump instantly covers discolorations, lines and wrinkles while the bottle will help improve skin tone over time
- Available in 14 shades with an MSRP of $13.99
My thoughts:
I've been using the foundation for over a month and have only used about 1/3 of the bottle. As the product claims, one pump really DOES cover a LOT. One pump is usually enough to cover my entire face and I pump out a bit more to get extra coverage in certain areas (like my dark circles.) I prefer a very LIGHT coverage though but you can definitely build up to whatever coverage you want. Again, the color I received was Buff Beige and at first glance appeared a bit light for me, but once blended it's beautiful on my skin. I absolutely LOVE how lightweight the product is and how silky my face looks. It's almost as if I'd used airbrush.
Although the foundation has a built in serum, I've continued to use a separate moisturizer to hydrate my skin. The first time I used the foundation without any moisturizer, my skin felt tight and the makeup didn't look good at all. I don't have any discolorations so I can't speak to the improvement of those nor have I seen a dramatic increase in hydration in my skin but then again I haven't used up the entire bottle. If I see a difference in this later on, I will report back I do know that the few fine lines I have are perfectly covered up when I use the foundation.
COVERGIRL & Olay Pressed Powder
From the BzzAgent guide:
- Gold pearls, yellow iron oxide and silk mica work together to provide natural looking skin with an energized appearance and healthy radiance
- Instantly brightens skin tone and softens look of imperfections
- Provides a tough of brightness without feeling heavy or cakey
- Available in 6 shade
My thoughts:
The only real purpose of this powder is to set the foundation. The color I received Fair/Light was actually a bit too light for me so I used it sparingly. It does have a little shimmer to it which gives the radiance it promises. However, as a setting powder it's not that great. At least for me, I had to apply the powder a few times throughout the day to keep my face looking bright and radiant. I would much prefer to use my mineral veil or a different setting powder to this one.
I used it one day over a BB cream after running out the door and forgetting my foundation and I was pleasantly surprised how nice the powder looked on my skin on it's own. It provided no coverage at all so I wouldn't use the powder alone but the powder definitely enhanced the little bit of coverage I got from my BB cream. I will definitely continue to use it with the foundation and with my BB cream for low maintenance days but I can't say that this has become my holy grail of setting powders.
Overall, I'm glad I tried both of these products and I would definitely recommend the foundation. I have a ton of coupons to share - if you're interested in trying out the foundation & powder, let me know. I'm more than happy to share.
