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!

Here is what is said about this foundation on the Ulta site:

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!
