I grabbed both of these from wallgreens and wanted to test them out. The baby skin i think was $7.00 and the cover girl was i believe $12.
I first used the cover girl as a touch up like powder. Since it says you can use it that way. This is a balm. Not a powder. So when applied as a touch up it left my skin oily. So for me it did not work as a touch up. I tried it as a primer and score! It worked. It held my makeup for about 10 hrs. My foreheaded did look a tad faded but i think i didnt even out my foundation well enough.
So i would forsure use the covergirl as a primer.
Now onto maybelline.
This is a silicone based primer. Reminded me of smashbox primer. However smashbox makes my skin feel oily after 4 hours.
This one held up for 10 hrs as well. I was very pleased with it. This is a very affordable primer.
Both the maybelline and covergirl are good for use as a primer and very affordable. I have heard the covergirl is a dupe for the mally face defender. Thats what I have heard.
Both get a thumps up !!
