    Nikki Taylor was my absolute favourite. Cover Girl was the first ever makeup brand that I used. YM magazine was my makeup bible.

    Can you please do a video on Merle Norman Cosmetics? My dad and mom met at the factory and my grandma used their cosmetics so it’s nostalgic to me.

    Just want to point out that while Cover Girl themselves don’t test on animals their parent company does and also pays for testing to sell their products where it’s required by law.

    My mom has been using the Cover Girl Clean liquid foundation and matching pressed powder since she was a teenager and she's gonna be 73 years old next month! It's the only foundation I've ever seen her use. She also uses their old school stick concealer. That along with her holy grail Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks and her Maybelline Full N Soft mascara and Express pencil eyeliner and you pretty much have my mom's entire makeup look for the past several decades....

    I use Covergirl clean foundation in creamy natural. It’s seamless and matches my skin perfectly. The finish is incredible with my skincare underneath. I have tried others but always keep coming back to that one.

    • @kellyrudd1920
      @kellyrudd1920 7 місяців тому +1

      Also I use the power that is the invisible one. With the foundation it’s perfect.

    I still use some of their products. And I use noxema for skin care and sunburn. My favorite supermodel for this brand is Cheryl Tiegs. I will continue to use them, since I have since I was a teenager. I’m 57 now and a grandmother.

    I just bought Covergirl Simply Ageless powder and Cleantopia mascara in Ultramarine Black, which is a dark blue. I like the powder but haven’t tried the mascara yet. I am not worried about contaminants. I think we’re exposed to so much stuff that the small amounts in cosmetics is negligible. I do think most of Covergirl has improved since Coty bought it.

    I used to buy Cover Girl when I was a teen. It wasn’t too expensive.

  • @thejessicareviews
    @thejessicareviews 7 місяців тому +7

    I grew up with the original slogan, and I definitely prefer it. I used some Cover Girl, Hard Candy, Physicians Formula (sparingly as it was my mother’s) , and occasionally Maybelline. I would still purchase Cover Girl, probably over others (except Hard Candy) as I do see they have clean makeup products and I’m familiar with their brand! Plus it’s easy to get their products.

    • @katherineblack4772

      The "I Am What I Make Up" slogan brings to mind images of straight jackets and Napoleon hats.

  • @shannine9276
    @shannine9276 7 місяців тому +4

    I used Cover Girl as a teen, but I stopped as I got older because I don't like the smell of Noxzema. I like their old slogan better than their new one.

    Covergirl's Aquasmoothers foundation and tinted moisturizer is amazing for my skin. They are definitely nostalgic!

    My late mom used covergirl clean makeup foundation every day. I still swear by noxzema for sunburn and I sonetimes use Noxema to clean my face after cleansing cream. I like how refreshed it makes me feel.

  • @mheuman
    @mheuman 7 місяців тому +2

    I started using Noxzema at 13 , loved the smell. I wore Cover Girl makeup starting in high school thru the 200s, then I discovered high end cosmetics and never looked back. I still check out their line when I go to the drugstore, but if I buy, It's NYX. I loved Christie Brinkley when she was the representative, she was so approachable.

    • @brookeschultz5037

  • @rebelgirl9436
    @rebelgirl9436 7 місяців тому +4

    I never could use their foundation because Noxzema made me break out.
    I loved their liquid frosted blush that came in a glass bottle. Beautiful glow and wore all day. Today I still use their cheekers blushes!

    I love your videos! I used CG in high school. Later switched to Milani and other drugstore brands that offered more modern colors and better ingredients as CG would break me out horribly.

    Hi Laura Jane ~ Glad LJ Sunday Matineé is here ~ Cover Girl boasted some of the prettiest spokes girls ~ it was rather expensive ~ I never used liquid makeup so only wore a light blush & eyeliner shadow mascara ~ Estée Lauder moisturizer at age 23 in winter ~ then Shiseido ~ but recall my friends used it ~ a few of my friends became fashion models ~ I went to the beach all the time ~ so makeup was not necessary ~ surfed all day in Summer ~ my issue was not hydrating my skin til Shiseido ~ the boutiques in Tokyo taught me about facials cleansing toners suncare fay moisturizers & night moisturizers ~ probably would never had a skincare routine ~ kept my savings for skincare not so much for clothing & just saved everything else for rent & food & transp.
    Cheryl Tiegs was the model for Cover Girl ~ perfect skin ~ Thank You Laura Jane 💕 Always A Great Visit With You at Laura Jane Sunday Matineé 🍿🎥🌭🍦💄

    Cover girl clean is the only liquid foundation I like. For cream foundation I use Avon, but for liquid cg clean looks great.

    I tried some CoverGirl makeup in my teens, but nothing stuck. Maybelline has great mascaras and eye shadow. Revlon lipsticks and nail polishes are great.
    The new drugstore giants, NYX and Elf have been hit or miss, but I enjoy some products from each.

  • @Kansaschickie
    @Kansaschickie 6 місяців тому

    Still use Cover Girl, since 1976. Mom bought me Noxzema, Ponds, and Cover Girl makeup. She taught me to put ponds under my makeup. LOL! She had dry skin. I'm pretty sure they have been using the term "clean makeup" since before the current"clean" trend. Christy Brinkley. The original was best.

  • @jrebecca0195
    @jrebecca0195 7 місяців тому

  • @meredethenglish1577
    @meredethenglish1577 7 місяців тому +1

    Great video Laura - I learned some things I didn't know! I only used various Cover Girl products off and on throughout the years. As far as drug store brands go, I like Revlon and Maybeline - occasionally Milani. I always remember my aunt had a Cover Girl pressed powder in a tortoise-shell- colored compact in the makeup tray in her bathroom. A girl I used to be friends with in Middle School used a variation of the Cover Girl tag line to describe girls she thought were "too fast" with the boys 😆😅 She would say, "Oh here comes Easy, Breezy, Sleazy So-and-So!" 🤣😂 Hey do you have any info on vintage fragrance called "Spice n Ice"? I bought an unopened box of dusting powder in this brand but can find no info on it. Might be interesting to do a video on the history of makeup packaging/containers if you have not already done so. Older makeup packaging was so much more glamorous! I have been getting into vintage blushes lately. Maybe a video related to that?

    Cover girl was my first foundation i loved the noxzema clean makeup formula especially tge one with salicylic acid for breakouts. I miss this formula Christie Brinkley and Niki Taylor were my favorite cover girls. I didnt know about the toxic ingredients and its all i used as a teen and pre teen.

    A few thoughts I remember in college the Easy Breezy campaign starting Christy was such the it girl. Second I'm so puzzled over the 'new' talc issue I mean is sex health classes in jr high in the 70s it was discussed along with period education (both which aren't in US public schools any more might be why it's 'new') third coty lipstick is ever seared to my brain as my grandmothers's brand white cynlinder cap with gold rose pattern the twist up part heavy metal gold toned and the smell of the lipstick being perfumy grandma hugs and kisses smelled like chemical flowers...
