My daughter and I both love makeup but we rarely use the same type. At 21, her skin care needs are different than mine are at 47. At 47, I appreciate make up products that offer anti-aging benefits when I use them. It seems like everyone has an anti-aging cream or serum that they want you to use. While I do use them, I appreciate products that offer more than one benefit because it saves me time. My mornings are hectic enough without having to add in an extra step to remember to apply a serum or spot treatment before I apply my make up. Post contains affiliate links.

Anti-Aging Products by Cover Girl + Olay
I received a Bzz Kit from BzzAgent with some new anti-aging products by Cover Girl + Olay. I’ve used their 2 in 1 Foundation before and I love it because it provides the benefits of Olay with the coverage of Cover Girl. Today, I got the chance to review the Cover Girl + Olay Facelift Effect Firming Make Up and the Cover Girl + Olay The De-Puffer Eye Concealer. Here is a bit about each:
The Cover Girl + Olay Facelift Effect Firming Make Up offers exclusive Olay FaceFirm technology, infused with a concentrated vitamin complex for all-day hydration and skin renewal, plumps and lifts. After just two weeks of continued use, skin’s natural firmness is improved. This product helps cover fine lines and wrinkles for an instant face lift effect. There are four shades: light/medium, light, medium and fair. I received fair for my coloring.
My thoughts: I’ve used a lot of different foundations and I don’t often go for the drug store brands. However, I was very pleasantly surprised that the Cover Girl + Olay Facelift Effect Firming Make Up offers really amazing coverage. Not only did it help with the fine lines, it helped cover the redness from my rosacea. Definitely a product I’ll be buying again.
The Cover Girl + Olay The De-Puffer Eye Concealer offers Olay rejuvenating serum plus cucumber extract to soothe puffiness under the eye, while a unique cooling metal-tip applicator massages on concealer as it glides over under eye area. There are six shades available: Fair/light, light, light/medium, medium, fair and medium/deep. I received fair for my coloring.
My thoughts: I do like that the coolness of the metal tip helps reduce swelling. It’s just like using an ice pack on a sprained ankle, the coolness automatically helps bring the swelling down. The angled tip made it easy to apply. I used my fingertips to pat it into my skin and it covered well and blended into the foundation.
Have you tried these new products from Cover Girl + Olay? I really love the look I got using it!

Normally, I’m fairly timid about buying drugstore make-up, not because of the quality but because I don’t do a great job selecting the right colors. You look so great with yours that I think it’ll be worth the risk.
Thank you so much, Crystal! Hope you try them!
Did you find them very thick? I have a problem with thick products settling in my forehead wrinkles :/
Hi Jen – I didn’t find them thick at all. They went on very smoothly and even at the end of the day, there wasn’t any settling.
I haven’t tried either of these yet, but my eye area could definitely use some depuffing. I’ll be on the lookout for that one.
I completely understand the feeling!
I love that Cover Girl is in the anti aging game. I love their products and how affordable they are.
Me too, Kelly!
That foundation looks amazing on you! I have darkening of the skin around my mouth and cheeks. I have to use a great foundation that covers it, which can be hard. I am a Philosophy and IT cosmetics girl but I am honestly thinking about trying the foundation. It really does look good on you!
Thank you so much, Bobbie! I was really impressed that it covered my rosacea.
i LOVE the metal tip too! makes it like a quick cucumber trick on the go
So true, Pattie!
I love Cover Girl and always have, their products are great.. you look beautiful. Thanks for sharing, have to check these out, I’m slowly creeping up there in age, too :-(…
Thank you so much, Melanie! I love the way they work!
I think this looks great on you. Very young and fresh. I’ll have to try it.
Thank you so much, Jenn!
Love seeing this pairing. Both companies offer amazing products and they are so affordable.
I agree, Brandy. It’s a great match!
I love that is helps bring swelling down. My eyes are always swollen and puffy
I have the same problem, Debi!
You look great. gotta try these.
Thank you so much, April!
I have a lot of allergies but could really use a little help with the swollen eyes so I may have to give it a try. I love the idea of it being cool to the eye.
It really helps me, Amanda!
That Facelift effect texture looks so luxurious and silky! I am always looking for a new Cover Girl product to try, they were the first brand I started using when I first wore makeup!
It really is, Jenna. I started out with Cover Girl too!
I am starting to see some fine lines and wrinkles on my face. It makes me an unhappy girl, so I definitely will be checking this out.
I totally understand, Jennifer!
I love olay!!!
I adore Covergirl and Olay products and have noticed I need to use different make up as I have aged a little 🙂
