I recently bought a bottle of Cover Girl Clean Makeup - Oil Control on a recent shopping trip. I ran out of foundation the week before, and since my tan is going away I needed to find a whole different shade. So I picked up this. It didn't cost that much money so I thought it's worth a try.
Shake Well. Dot On Face. Blend Evenly.
Controls oily shine in a gentle, non-drying light weight formula.
Cover Girl Clean Makeup - Oil Control comes in a 30 mL or 1 fl oz bottle. The Soft Edged Triangle bottle comes with a bright blue top. Like most foundations the bottle is clear so you can see what color make up you are getting. The clear bottle is then packaged on a card with a protective plastic. There is a good point and a bad point to this. The good point is you know no one has tested it on their hand or face, but the bad thing is you cannot test the color.
Cover Girl Clean Makeup's - Oil Control consistency is very thick. It is also very creamy. You only need a drop or two because one drop does go a very long way. There is a faint odor to it. It smells kind of awkward at first but it has a very sweet smell to it, so I got used to it. When you rub it in it just smells sweet.
The coverage of Cover Girl Clean Makeup - Oil Control is medium. I just put some on my hand just for the purpose of writting this review, and it even the color of most of my hand except for my mosquito bite which you can still see through the foundation. It's not a matte foundation so it's not going to cover perfectly.
Another reason I tested this foundation on my hand is because there are lots of 'lines' on my hand. I wanted to test to see if this product would seep into the lines. Some foundations you can see caked up. I noticed that Cover Girl Clean Makeup - Oil Control is not one. When I wear it on my face it don't seem like/ or look like it runs into my pores at all.
For a Cover Girl foundation at a cheap price This foundation is worth the price, but there are a few done sides to the product. The first time you open the bottle it's almost impossible to get the cream make up out. I had to take a lip gloss wand, and take it out like you have to do ketchup in a resturant. I still have problems getting the product out of the bottle. If you hit the bottle too hard, you get too much. If you use it like normal it may take you all day to do your makeup.

I haven't noticed any reactions or problems with dryness or breakouts after using this product. My pores don't feel or look clogged, and I have never had a shine on my face when I use this product.
For the price I paid for Cover Girl Clean Makeup - Oil Control , and the coverage I get I feel it is worth it, and I will buy another one when I run out. The coverage is light, and not too heavy but at the same time it covers up mild inperfections.
