Review of Subtl Staks & CoverFX Total Cover Cream Foundation // Over 50

Subtl Staks claims you will have "an entire makeup routine in the palm of your hand". Is this brand good for my 57 year old face? I also review the CoverFX Total Cover Cream Foundation. There was ONE thing that I loved!!!

    There is a compartment in the bottom for the little brush - when you got the top mirror and the brush there was a bottom attached. Also I highly recommend the concealer, especially as you mentioned you didn’t put on concealer. I found the subtl stacks a few months ago and I love them - love the products, colors, and the portability. You can divide the stacks into more than one - like I keep the powder and lip balm in my purse with the top and bottom. Also they definitely DO have creams - they have cream blush, highlighter, and they recommend using a darker concealer as a cream bronzer. I wrote this before you got to the end but remember you can use the bronzer as an eyeshadow too and that really unifies the look. Anyway, hope you do like it - I love the concept and find myself reaching for these products - esp the eyeshadows - on a regular basis even when I’m home and have access to all the other eyeshadows I own.

    Ugh, I actually bought the cream blush but it got lost in the bottom of my drawer. 🤦‍♀️. I can’t wait to try it. I will be trying all the products many times to see how I really feel. The first impression should never be my last impression. I’ll update in a speed review. Thanks!

    I love the idea of those stackables. I like the two eyeshadow options for a one and done, almost kinda look. I like a blown out color with shimmer in the middle of my lid. Takes up so little space! I don’t think you need a primer with cover fx. Creams are heavier tho. I like light powder foundations. I use sheglam. I know I know but it’s so good on my mature skin.

    RMS is awesome. The powder blushes are ALL warm because the owner wears warm shades only. Even the colors called cool are not and either very peachy or the plum has brown in it. The cream bronzer and Illuminator are fantastic. I want the red blush next.

    Bobbi - I could definitely still see the spot on the right side of your face that you were hoping to cover with the foundation. I agree that this foundation probably doesn’t work well with your skin type. And I sort of feel as though if I have to put on a ton of product prior to foundation to get the foundation to work well, then it’s not the right foundation for me. The problem is, that you never really know until you’ve already bought it and brought it home! So, I find it helpful when folks like you do these trials/reviews. I also have somewhat dry skin, so I would not buy that foundation based on your experience with it. I know you can return products to some retailers - I just find that a hassle. Thanks, as usual, for your fun, informative video! I love your delivery!

    Agreed Diane, I don’t like returning things either. I am going to try everything again and hopefully it will be better with just a primer underneath. I don’t mind putting a primer underneath a foundation. I just don’t want to have to only use one certain product for one thing to work. That’s a hassle!

    You have your dryness and rosacea so well controlled right now (looking fantastic entirely bare actually) and the foundation, bronzer & blush still just did not go well from the start. Try a couple different techniques but maybe just some of those “may be great….. for someone else” items. Shadow was a winner. Your eyes look beautiful even after all day. Thanks for the demo.

    I agree that the foundation did not cover that pesky white spot on your right side ! That’s very strange ! And the fact that it all just disappeared by the end of the day ??? That isn’t good ! The eyeshadow does look really pretty on you though. It’s a good concept but the products seem inferior, especially if they cost a lot and simply go away into oblivion !! Thanks for doing a great review Bobbie ! I’m definitely saving my money and not buying it !

    I agree and will spend money on foundation at the adage of 60 and would buy drugstore but the colors are not great and no way to tell with many of the names. All foundation should be marked warm/neutral/cool and fair/light/medium/tan/dark. Every time someone tells me about a drugstore foundation they love I have no idea what color to buy. I need medium - cool.
