Looking to improve the texture and appearance of your skin? Want a smoother, longer lasting foundation application? Cover FX Skin Prep FX Nourishing Foundation Primer & Anti-Aging Serum is the perfect double-duty product to try, especially now with winter winds whipping about and indoor heating on full blast. 
I have always been quite skeptical as to the effectiveness of so-called “primers,” the pre-foundation potions designed to lengthen the wear of makeup, even out skin tone and control shine. More often than not I found them to be greasy and pointless; most primers these days are heavily silicone or dimethicone-based, ensuring a BP-worthy oil slick when applied.
Fortunately Cover FX Skin Prep FX has a lightly slippery, gelée-like texture that absorbs quickly into the skin. The oil-free, fragrance-free formula boasts a potent cocktail of vitamins to fight wrinkles and free radicals and increase collagen production. Omega-3 fatty acid and hyaluronic acid re-hydrate and plump, while a chamomile derivative reduces redness and inflammation. Last but not least there is even an ingredient to aid skin repair and wound healing.
On top of its skin-improving qualities, using Skin Prep FX underneath your foundation will ensure optimal coverage and wear, minimizing the appearance of pores and fine lines. Your makeup will appear fresher, longer. Safe enough for very sensitive skin, this serum-primer will not clog pores or cause breakouts as many primers often do. As it turns out this product is not the most wallet-friendly, but thankfully a little goes a long way.
Cover FX Skin Prep FX is available for $45 at Sephora.com
