Eyeliner and not able to contact anyone – I purchased COVERGIRL eyeliner I found it to be so hard it could not even go over my eyelids without pulling was not able to use it. Worst eyeliner ever.!!!! Have tried to contact Customer Service or Complaints . Unable to find a contact I have sent various messages on Facebook and Instagram. No reply they are totally unapproachable. Well I… Read more
haven’t found a way to do it. The product is terrible and I wanted a refund but was not able to contact anyone. DISGUSTING
Positive reviews
Needs a new lid, broken everyone I have purchased! – I absolutely love the eyeliner, however the lid is so hard to open that I break the eyeliner, since you cannot turn it back down into the pencil, only up, the eyeliner breaks right off! I have bought several and it has happened everytime!
Good everyday foundation – I have been using this for almost 3 week. I like it so far ..covers beautifully and long lasting up to 10 hours on my normal combo skin. It is pretty comparable to estee Lauder double wear however with bit less coverage and less drying. So far I m impressed with this product
Cover girl Lash Blast mascara – If you are like me, and hate unnatural massive looking lashes, you will love this. It is a beautiful black colour that makes your lashes be medium length with no clumps. I really like the natural look.
Negative reviews
Katy Kat Mascara – The brush is horrible! Hard to separate lashes and get that full volume I was looking for, would not purchase again for this reason hard to rate the actual mascara.
Disappointed – I recently purchased " outlast stay fabulous 3 in 1 foundation" which promised a combination of primer, concealer and foundation in one easy step. I cleansed and moisturised and then applied this product but to my dismay it looked like I had applied water. There was No hint of concealer, no coverage whatsoever. I will not be buying or recommending this product.
Won't recommend – 3 Years back, I used CoverGirl foundation and powder. 3 months later I make a new purchase for those two items and I broke out bad with more oil on my skin and more blemishes that were like gives and black heads( same foundation and powder as I bought before). This year, I thought maybe my skin was really sensitive back than and oily. I bought a… Read more
concealer of Ready, Set Gorgeous and in 2 days I break out in areas to conceal the dark spots of my eyes, redness of nose and little blemishes of my cheeks. Whatever they put in the cosmetics, it's giving people a really bad reaction. I don't recommend it with those who have oily skin, and that easily breakout, makes it worse.

The First Time I Tried Covergirl, I Was So Amazed How Everything That's Of Covergirl Cosmetics, Is So Perfect And Breathtaking To Me. With Covergirl, You Can't Go Wrong. I'm So In Love With It. So Show How Your Beauty, And Covergirl Cosmetics Can Be Combined, And Turn Heads With Amazing Compliments.
Covergirl didn't have to say anything at all....just do it – Shocked to see that Covergirl has gone woke saying they're together in pride! What with the disastrous outcome of Bud Lite and then Target you'd think Covergirl would be smarter than that. Bud recognized their snafu and may recover in the next decade; I haven't been to Target now in over two years; and after over 30 years using Covergirl I will find a product that serves EVERYONE without prejudice. Maybe I'll wish I'd done this years ago!
Excellent – Cover girl instant eye lift serum is the best thing I have found for instant eye bag fix. I can even put it over my makeup which I have found with numerous competitors that I can’t without it going crusty. I highly recommend this product.
Liquiline Blast eyeliners – I have recently purchased a couple of these eyeliners. I have found the eyeliner is nice, however I am unable to sharpen it. It is frustrating and a waste of money. I want to take them back and get a refund but do not know where to take them. Purchased from Woolworths in Australia. Do not have receipts.
Nice in summer – Bought this because I wanted to buy a relatively matte foundation but nothing too crazy because I have dry skin. It's beautiful. I apply it with a stipple brush to get the best results. It really does act as a concealer as well on the days you want to go without that extra step. The only concern is it's still a bit pink for my yellow undertone.… Read more
Don't get me wrong compared to other brands it's pretty warm but not warm enough. Still love it though. Great for summertime when I don't want my face melting off.
Love my Lippy – I've always had problems remembering to re-apply my lip stick and recently I have discovered the cover girl long lasting lipstick. While it doesn't last 24 hours as stated it does last throughout my work day, plus when you have a night out your lips stay looking great no matter how many drinks you have! Love the colour range too :) Long Lasting

Covergirl Trublend – I use Covergirl Trublend Liquid foundation in ivory and it's the best foundation I've ever used. It has great coverage and when I'm wearing it, it doesn't even feel like I'm wearing foundation because it's so lightweight. It stays on during the day altthough I haven't worn it during the hotter weather so I don't know if it stays on in Summer. It's… Read more
just a really good foundation though. I've had problems with finding foundation that doesn't look orange on my face but this one doesn't at all, it matches my skin perfectly. Would highly recommend. Good coverage, lightweight, doesn't feel like I'm wearing foundation at all, doesn't irritate my skin, matches my skin tone perfectly, affordable.
Covergirl - burnt face – I recently bought covergirls 'Clean' for normal skin to try as I have never tried their products before. I used this product for a day before realizing a tingly, sting on my face. When I removed the makeup that night my cheeks were completely red and inflamed. When I woke up the next morning I had noticeable burns on my cheeks and they are still quite raw and sore :( very disappointing Nice colour Painful to wear, came off very easily
Mis-leading Eyeliner Product Name – I recently bought the Exact Eyelights Eye-Brightening Eyeliner and chose the vibrant pearl colour thinking that it was white! It was so misleading as it turned out to be black! I have been to the official covergirl website and have seen numerous complaints in regards to this. Please do something about it as you just wasted my $14. Thank you. Smooth. Misleading and colour.
CoverGirl – CoverGirl is my number one brand when it comes to lipgloss and mascara. After seeing all the commercials and getting suggestions from a few friends to buy the Lash Blast Fushion mascara, I brought one from my nearest Big W. And I absoloutely love it! It adds volume to the lashes making them look longer and thicker. It goes on really easily and… Read more · 1
doesn't clump up or go flaky.
A few people have complained that it doesn't work for them, that is clumps up and goes all globby, but I think this is cause a) they don't apply it properly or b) it's just not the right type of mascara for them.
Overall, I really do love the CoverGirl products and think they've improved a lot from what they used to be in the past.. Inexpensive, reliable, long lasting, great products. Can be hard to track down the product you are looking for.
long lastinglip colour works!!!! – I really like the product but I can never get the same colour product twice... This is extremely frustrating.... How can you recomend something when its such a hastle to get the colour that you want to wear?? I loved the fact that it does last for hours after application No store sells the same product numbers regularly... If they did itd be a "highly recommended"
Terrible – Few months ago I bought a Mascara by Covergirl in an Orange Tube. I think It's called Lash Blast. It did nothing but clog up my lashes. It was the Worst Mascara I have ever used. I was better off not wearing any mascara then putting this cheap and nasty stuff on my lashes. Another dissapointment is there narrow range in foundation colours. I would… Read more
never buy covergirl or recommend it to anybody. Nothing wrong with not paying big money for makeup but if you buy anything from Covergirl you are wasting your money! Stay away!! There isn't any Too many too list
OK – The only product I continue using from covergirl is their under-eye concealer - which is much better than anything else I've tried from other, more expensive brands. Although, this product is a pairing with Olay - so maybe that explains the quality. Their Covergirl and Olay "Simply Ageless Under Eye Concealer" is the best eye concealer I've used,… Read more
but I'm not really a fan of their other products. their products are usually cheaper than other brands. I find their lipstick dry and the overall quality of their is some-what poorer than their competitors. I guess this is what makes their brand usually cheaper than other brands.
Good – The products I have used have worked well and I have bought them a couple of times. I havent had any bad experiences with any of the Covergirl products, and the powder compact is my all-time favourite because it smell so great and enticing. This is a good make up and I have used the compact, eyeliner and lipsticks regularly. They arent too… Read more
expensive, and I love the smell of the powder in the compact! It is a bit cheaper than the other major brands and can often be found on sale or special in speciality shops like Priceline, and then you can accumulate points for this purchase anyway.
Good – I have been using the liquid foundation since I was a teenager. I used to use the foundtaion in the glass bottles when I was young and found them a bit messy but now I use the Advanced Radiace in the plastic pump. I love the pump as it is really easy to use and not messy, also you use ALL the foundation, none is wasted. I find that the foundtaion… Read more
is best when new but still is pretty good down to the last drop. I like this foundation as I don't like the caked on makeup look and this is a light makeup but enough to hide imperfectins. If you want ongoing coverage you would probably have to apply later in the day. I find it this works ok even if you had used a powder over top. Speaking of powder I also use the pressed powder by Cover Girl and have for years and years. It's perect for what I want. The only con being that the powder outlasts the powder 'puff' for want of a better word. I normally have to replace it but is cheap to do so. Cheap but good quality product that I have been using for years. The name Cover Girl (don't really like it).

Good – I am only really commenting on the Mascara. I've tried other more expensive brands. I have long eyelashes and on the search for a reasonably priced mascara and found Cover Girl's waterproof 'Lash Blast Volume. Brilliant! No clumps, fantastic brush that gets into those smaller lashes with ease. Comes off easily too. Love it!! Really well priced, love the Mascaras! Wouldn't purchase foundation or skin care
Good – I am a real fan of the Covergirl Matte Foundation and it is the only foundation i will use/wear. Its sometimes a pain as it can be hard to find. When i started buying this foundation everyone used to sell it. Now for some reason i have to go searching for it. Although woolworths do stock this, it can be very expensive from them. I wait until… Read more
they go on special and buy multiple to stock up. Have bought the mascara and wasnt fan. I also like the wind up eye liner. I find covergirl affordable and good quality. Great foundation. Didnt like the mascara i bought.
Good – Another brand that has been around for years and is readily available at department stores and chemists. The price is fairly reasonable and the packaging is quite good. Available in chemists and department stores at a reasonable price. The shades of lipsticks and nail polishes are great. I thought the nail polishes go gluggy very quickly compared… Read more
to other brands and I don't like the way they seem to release a 'new' mascara every five minutes. I used one of their mascaras for years and thought it was fantastic but all f a sudden it disappeared and I am not sure if its just been renamed but I don't want to have to work my way through their product range to find out!
Terrible – This mascara is AWFUL. Maybe I got a bad batch but within two weeks of purchase, the product was gluggy, dry and lumpy. I tried standing it in a cup of boiling water to 'melt' it a little but it didn't really do anything. I also tried putting a tiny bit of olive oil in it (while still hot from the boiling water - this usually revives old mascara… Read more
for an extra week) which didn't work either. The consistency turned from huge lumps into little tiny lumps. I have since returned to my old brand. CoverGirl Fantastic Lash Mascara - terrible. Dry and lumpy.
Good – Covergirl makeup has been around forever and is definitely a far more cheaper brand than a lot of others. I have found it to be a bit hit and miss over the years. Some of their products are good but others do not really do that great a job and you are better off going with another brand. The brand is definitely worth trying just due to being a… Read more
more affordable option. Some products are good, normally cheaper priced than a lot of other brands, easy to find in most stores stocking cosmetics. Some of the products are hit and miss.
Terrible – I've only tried lipglosses and foundations from the covergirl line. The lipglosses are alright - not much staying power though, and abit expensive, considering I could find much better products for the same price or cheaper. However, it's their foundations I REALLY hate. I tried trublend liquid foundation, in the lightest shade. It had a wierd… Read more
oily, slippery texture, and immediatly slipped into my pores, making them look huge. There's practically NO coverage - my blemishes and uneven patches looked just the same after applying this. At first I thought that you can't even SEE this product, but when I looked at my face in natural light about half an hour after applying, I was horrified.
Not only where my pores and blemishes very visible,my T-zone oily looking, but there where wierd orangey colored patches over my face. The product basically just clung to any slightly dry bits on my face, and that's it.
This foundation is a huuuuge waste of money, and has really put me off the whole CG line. cheap terrible foundation - no coverage, oily texture.
OK – Good cheapish range of glosses for everyday use and for teens-mid 20s that want a non sticky or thick lip shine :) The market is pretty tough out there for glosses and I wouldnt say these are the best, they're pretty average. I'm a big fan of using the CG Wetslicks lipglosses, always nicely packaged, never leaves a sticky mess in my handbag and… Read more
the colours arent over powering or tacky like some I've used in the past. The applicator brush I always find really handy rather then the tubes means you can control how much comes out and only use as much as you need = sames money! Lip glosses dont really stay on for that long and they're starting to become over priced.
OK – I would reccommend these products. Especially for younger skins, they are quite light, have a good range and decent prices. I reall liked the tinted moisturiser, great as an emergency foundation like after a swim at the beach, or even just for a quick trip into town when you dont want to put alot of face on Relatively cheap, i think i have only… Read more
used the foundations and mascaras, i found them to work wuite well on my skin, some great types of mascaras I found my foundation didnt last very long, it would get quite thick, but in the beggining it went on really nicely
Good – The coverage of Tru Blend foundation is excellent, although it does get quite cakey if you have an oily skin type. Possibly a better result on dry skin types. After all it is oil based. I tend to get an orange patchy effect after a few hours of use, and leaves my skin looking really shiney. Inexpensive compared to other foundations. Highly… Read more
recommended for evening use, especially under flourecent lights, it looks really flawless. If you have redness or blemishes, Tru Blend will make it disappear. This is definately it's major advantage. Tru Blend Foundation: Excellent Coverage Tru Blend Foundation: A little cakey for day time use
Excellent – I would recommend trying this as it is very user friendly and a great product. The Lashblast mascara is Great! I love the Cover Girl Lashblast! It is the best mascara that I have ever purchased or used. It lengthens and thickens my lashes without causing any clumping. It is easy to use and I have never had any problems with mascara smudges or… Read more
marks. The brush size and shape is a great fit for me. For some reason the orange container turns people off the product! I think it makes it easier to identify but friends has said they prefer black and smaller containers.
Bad – I only ever buy concealer from covergirl and then only if its an emergency. It is affordable and available pretty much everywhere. But I found their products to be really bad for my skin causing breakouts and redness around the eyes. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to make up. Affordable and easy to find. Foundations cause me to break out.
Horrible will never buy again. I want a refund! – The brush is awful. The mascara clumps up on the lashes and just makes the lashes look like one big blob.
Mascara isnt coming off – 3 days of scrubbing my eyes with facewash and makeup wipes not coming off eyes are itchy and lashes dying
