I’ve come to pretty much expect some products to do double-duty and I’m adding makeup primers to that list. And this one is really doing triple-duty so it’s raising the bar! COVER FX BritePrep FX Brightening Foundation Primer & Photo-Aging Defense ($45/1oz @ coverfx.com) is not only a primer but contains a SPF 50 - A SPF 50 PEOPLE! - as well as those properties that blur lines and pores using what they call Dermaveil. And they’ve also added Bearberry Extract to help with skin discoloration, which I think we can all use help with.

Have you jumped on the primer bandwagon yet? There’s still room, ya know!

I really like to shop online but sometimes what you see on the monitor is not what you get so you have to get used to doing your research on just about every aspect of a product, especially color. What I really like about COVER FX’s new The Big Cover Up 3 Step Essentials ($75 @ sephora.com) s there really isn’t a way to mess it up as all you have to do is choose from four color kits. FOUR!

What it is - a complexion perfection kit and it contains 5 items to help you get it right:

• Skinprep FX – primer and anti-aging serum
• Cover FX – Total Coverage Cream Foundation (3 different shades)
• Setting FX – Translucent Setting Powder
• Their #170 Precision Foundation Brush (this normally sells for $36!)
• How-to Instructional video

You know my love of all-in-ones when it comes to beauty and the compact that houses the cream foundations and setting powder is in one container!

The overall kit really is a novices dream come true and shop with confidence online when it comes to this product.

We’re getting into the warmer months and that means slip slidding away as in, you makeup seems to slide off when the temps rise. COVER FX Clear Prep FX ($39/1oz) to the rescue! Not only does this one mattify your skin but it contains ingredients to heal blemishes and blur skin imperfections so this is a good one for those on the oily side. Magic!

Scared of commitment? Their Skin Tint FX Moisturizing Treatment & Tint SPF 30 ($42/1oz) is a double-duty-er. The forumla evens your tone out with pearlized minerals while giving your skin nourishing ingredients and that all important SPF. Available in six shades. Both @ sephora.com.

It’s not often, actually, I don’t think ever, that I”ve been blown away by a makeup brush but I am by this one from COVER FX. I don’t think it is even best for what it is made for! Their Cream Foundation Brush ($38 @ sephora.com) is 7” of usefulness but I'm really like using it for applying blush and I’ve even used it a few times for mineral foundation. It’s made of natural goat hair so it’s perfect for powders.

Now correct me if I am wrong but what I always thought is that cream cosmetic products should only be applied with synthetic bristles and real hair should be applied with natural bristles. Hmmm, I’m confused but what I’m not confused about is how much I love this brush!
