Hey Guys,
Today I'm sharing my thoughts on the new Nyx Can't Stop Won't Stop Foundation & Concealer. I'm so picky with foundation but surprisingly most of my favorites are drugstore! The issue that I have with drugstore foundations is that you can't swatch them and try them on in store. That's my issue with a lot of drug store products in general. That being said, I get sucked in to CVS coupons and Extra Bucks that I find myself going there often just to see what new products have come in. I know this foundation has been around for a while but CVS finally got more NYX products in store and these were some of them. Keep reading to hear more about this foundation and concealer and what I thought about them!
Nyx Can't Stop Won't Stop Foundation $15.00
Here is what is said about this foundation on the Ulta site:
"Lightweight, waterproof and pigmented AF, NYX Professional Makeup's Can't Stop Won't Stop Full Coverage Foundation hustles as hard as you do. This comfy liquid formula comes in 45 flattering tones that don't transfer. Every creamy shade glides on smooth, delivering matte coverage and color that stays true for up to 24 hours. Heat, humidity and water have nothing on this full coverage waterproof foundation. This little overachiever also works to control shine and mattify your complexion all-day long. But it doesn't stop there: this long-lasting foundation is noncomedogenic and suitable for normal, oily, combination, and sensitive skin types. Don't fret about acne scars, blemishes or other marks - Can't Stop Won't Stop is the best covering foundation that leaves skin looking naturally flawless. If you're looking for full coverage that's not too heavy or cakey, then this is the right foundation for you. Struggling with excess oil? This foundation for oily skin stops shine right in its tracks so you can go through your day worry free. Featuring a vegan formula with no animal-derived ingredients or by-products, all NYX Professional Makeup products are proudly cruelty-free and PETA certified."
On to my thoughts:
When I first picked up both of these products I grabbed the wrong colors. I went off of a display at CVS that was incorrect. I ended up picking up light medium warm shades in both by accident when I meant to pick up light medium neutral shades. The first colors I got were the foundation and concealer in True Beige. This was far to orange for me. I went on the site and realized the mistake that was made. I went back and picked up the correct shade which is Natural. This is a tiny bit yellow on me but matches me WAY better. I always stick to neutral shades in all of the foundations besides when I am VERY tan which is when it gets trickier.
When it comes to the formula, I REALLY like this foundation. It has great coverage and you can build it up from a medium-full coverage to a really full coverage. I used a beauty blender and think it applies really well. It also doesn't look super dry and cakey on my skin. Half way through my work day I see a tiny bit of shine but not enough to have to blot my face or fix my makeup. There is a tiny bit of foundation gone from my chin but nothing noticeable besides inspecting it close in my mirror. This could be from wiping my mouth area with a paper towel after eating. I apply this around 7am and by 6:30 pm it still looks pretty damn good. There is a little bit of wear in my tzone but nothing that serious that it looks like shit. If I were to go out somewhere after work I might touch it up a little but I wouldn't have to do much. I haven't tried a Nyx foundation in years and I am really impressed with this. I also want to note that I love that it has a pump!

On to my thoughts:
My first thought when getting this concealer is how is it going to compare to the Nyx HD Photogenic Concealer which I have used on and off for years. It's a concealer that I ALWAYS carry with my in my purse for touch-ups throughout the day/night when needed. The formula is definitely different. The HD Photogenic is more of a liquid concealer and this one is thicker and more whipped almost. It applies really nice and blends out great. Coverage wise I would say they are similar in coverage. This coverage is definitely more matte though. The wand is also different. I really like this concealer and think it works well with the foundation. I still don't love it as much as my Tarte Shape Tape but that one is hard to beat. This is a great drug store concealer.
Here are swatches of the foundation and concealer shades that I picked up:
Overall, I am SO glad I picked up these products. I think they are going to be my new go-to foundations until I decide to try others. While these are pricey for drugstore, that seems to be a growing trend among the products there. Drugstore products have improved significantly compared to back when I started blogging and even before then. As with improved better quality products comes higher prices. That being said, if you are a frugal shopper like me, you can figure out how to get these products at a fraction of the cost with coupons and such. I NEVER pay full price for beauty products at CVS and am always using coupons and extra bucks. If you haven't figured it out by now I highly recommend both products if you are looking for an affordable long lasting complexion product.
Have you tried either of these Nyx products? Let me know below!
