By Terry Cover-Expert SPF 15 Perfecting Fluid Foundation, 3 Cream Beige, 35 ml

Product Information

Coverage: Densiliss is definitely a medium coverage finish. It's matte, but imagine that radiance that Lumiere Veloutee had, but on steroids. Your skin has a serious halo. It blurs imperfections and lines like LV does, but your skin still shows through. There's some aspect of transparency where it highlights your skins best features, all the while covering the imperfections. LV in comparison just covered everything. Color selection: Terry has definitely made stridesin this department. LV I used to be shade 3, but it wasn't an exact match, it was a bit too peach for most people. It worked for me since I used to have a lot of redness in my face, and the peach would help blur out the redness. In Cover Expert I am shade 8, but in Densiliss I am shade 7. There's 3 darker shades...I can say shade 8 is somewhere in the NC35 range. I was initially matched in shade 8, because at first it looked like a good match. Less than a minute later, the color did some adjusting, and it was definitely too dark. Shade 7 at first looked off, but same thing happened, in a matter of 30 seconds it became a match and stayed that way. Terry's biggest area of development when it came to base products was that she didn't make dark shades. Three extra shades is a start. The lighter shades are not necessarily numbered from light-dark, there's also different undertones in all shades, so you should get matched at a counter first. The foundation comes in a dark blue tube with silver letters and has a capacity of 35ml. Usually a foundation has a capacity of 30ml, the Cover Expert isn’t cheap but you only need a little bit each time. NW stands for "neutral warm" which MAC feels best describes skin tone that is generally pink/rosy in undertone.

Thanks so much for the question. Based on the fact that you wear Santa Fe in Nars, I think that #9 in Cover Expert will probably work. It is a hair darker than #8 (which is a touch darker than #7, which is about NC 23-25). In other words, #7, #8 and #9 are all very close in tone and depth (I am betting you could get away with wearing any of them). In my opinion, #1 and #4 are in the same undertone family (rosy), with #1 being significantly lighter (probably an NW 15-18) than #4 (closer to a NW 20). #3 (about an NC 15-18) and #7 (NC 20-25) are in the same color family (more neutral to warm, without being the The formula of the By Terry foundations are like no other, the IMC® Technology (Intensive Mimetic Camouflage) in the foundation ensures that the foundation adapts to your skin with optimal coverage but with a natural looking and velvety finish. slightest bit orange) as well. It just depends on the route you want to go; I would say, however, with us being in the midst of summer, that #4 or #7 will probably work just fine if you feel like your skin tone is similar to mine (as based on the picture found in the link above).This becomes confusing because many other lines associate "warm" shades with yellow and golden undertones and "cool" shades with pink/rosy undertones. The Cover Expert Foundation Cover is available in 10 different shades, I have the shade Vanilla Beige which has a yellow undertone. By Terry describes the Cover Expert Foundation as an ultra smoothing foundation that adjusts to the skin to reveal a flawless complexion with a velvet finish. I was a little sceptical about this foundation because I was not sure it would actually cover my blemishes. The texture seemed light/thin even before I mixed it in with my primer/moisturiser. Surprisingly, it did a good job of covering majority of my blemishes although I still go in with my NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer ( review here). If you are open to a slightly darker option, then I think #4 could be great on you since it has the rosy undertone that you like in the By Terry Light Expert #1. The swatches above are pretty true-to-life in terms of tone and depth…for reference, I wear #7 in the winter months (at my palest).

For an immaculate finish, apply to cleansed and moisturised skin. Use your fingertips, or a brush to correct specific areas and work outwards from the nose for full-face coverage. Follow with powder to extend the effect. Key Benefits You ask a great question…the NC and NW label comes from the way in which MAC classifies their foundations. Since it is a cosmetics brand that is fairly accessible on a world-wide level and their foundations have a consistency across the board in terms of shade, depth and tone (e.g., a NC 20 is generally the same shade in any MAC foundation formulation, whether it be Studio Fix, Mixmaster or Face and Body), many people use NC and NW to explain the shades of other foundations that may not have such consistent labeling (e.g., names like Santa Fe or numbers like #8 don't translate across the brands). The numbers that follow the NC or NW indicate the depth/darkness of the foundation. For example, in general, a NC or NW 15 would be very light for super fair skin, 20-25 for light skin, 30-40 for medium skin and 45+ for darker skin. I talked about it in my previous blogpost, I finally have found the best foundation ever, or basically the best brand that makes the best foundation. This brand has several foundations that, for me, are the best foundations on the market so far.Thanks so much for such an in depth review of this foundation, its fantastic stuff! I have a query i was hoping you could help me with. I absolutely adore cover expert, except i have had an awful reaction to it 🙁 i broke out in loads of tiny bumps around my chin and jaw line. I persevered with the foundation hoping it wasn't the culprit because i love it so much and because no one else sounds like break outs have been a problem with it, but they aren't clearing up so i'm having to look for a new foundation. My favorite thing about by terry is the colour of shade 8 matches me perfectly, no yellow or other undertones just perfectly neutral, but not too dark either, it just makes me look healthy. Anyway i love armami's luminous silk for its texture and finish, however the shade i have is 4.5 and is way too light and makes me look ill. I don't have anywhere near me that sells it and so was hoping you could recommend a shade considering the shade 8 in by terry cover expert is ppeeerrffeectt. I'm leaning towards 5 or 5.5 in luminous silk, do either of these come close to the shade 8 in by terry? Thanks 🙂 June 26, 2013 at 11:12 am Since you like Light Expert #1 (which has a very rosy undertone), #1 (which has a slight pink undertone) could be a good match. #3 is still very fair, but has a subtle yellow undertone (that, in my experience, does NOT oxidize to an unappealing orange or yellow)…it is, however, obviously more yellow than the the pinker #1 but a little closer to the NARS in Finland. I think that #2 might be too light in light of what you already are matched with–it has an almost white cast (as you can see in my images). Conceal imperfections and show off a flawless face, with the help of the By Terry Cover-Expert Perfecting Fluid Foundation SPF15, a complexion enhancing makeup. When you have marks that you would prefer to minimise, like scarring, unevenness or blemishes, this is your go to solution. The featherweight formula works to veil the skin with a sheer base, without producing a heavily made up result. I am very similar in skin tone to you and (as my summer tan is fading) wear KGD OC-2 with a little BE-1 mixed in, Ellis Faas 104 (with maybe a little 103 mixed in) and By Terry in #9 (currently have that on today!). I can top it off with my NARS foundation powder in Santa Fe and it is a perfect match! Oddly enough, the differences between By Terry #7, #8 and #9 are negligible but if you are a true NC 30 (and will be stay that way all winter), then I think you will be just fine with #8 or even #9 (#7 will probably be too light as it is closer to a NC 25). If it helps, #8 is slightly more neutral beige, while #9 is slightly warmer/more golden (though they are both definitely more warm than cool).
