Clamoring for CoverGirl
It’s always a good idea to point out really good beauty stuff that doesn’t break the bank. In the last week three different women (two friends and a neighbor) have shouted out their favorite CoverGirl products to me, so I thought I’d let you know that some truly discriminating sisters are huge fans of this drugstore dreams. Friend number one, let’s call her V, says the CoverGirl Queen Collection Compact Foundation gives her the perfect amount of coverage without looking like she has on a face full of makeup.
Friend #2, lets call her J, says the CoverGirl Lip Gloss, in Million Dollar Mocha is one of the few dark glosses that stays brown without, eventually, turning her lips red. And, finally, neighbor T says the Moisturizing Lip Colors are as rich in color and hydrating as her pricier department store
lipsticks. There, check them out. My friends aren’t easily impressed with anything.
A few weeks ago I was recently moved by the makeup. I was in Atlanta for CoverGirl, along with Roxanna Floyd, Queen Latifah’s makeup artist and collaborator on the CoverGirl Queen Collection. We were there to educate women about their makeup. I talked and Roxanna applied colors from the Queen Collection to hundreds of women. I was actually surprised at how the makeup disappeared into face after face after face. No matter what the skin tone or skin type of the woman. This display actually made me ask Roxanna for a foundation shade recommendation. The compact foundation is still in my bag now.
Let me know, what's your favorite CoverGirl product?
Just wanted to say a big thanks to Pamela Edwards for showing how beautiful Black women can be. I love the photos! I can tell Pamela loves her job. It shows in this beauty blog. Keep up the good work! I just discovered the blog about a month ago and love it. It's a great place to keep up with the latest beauty advice for Black women.

I live in the UK and unfortunately they don't sell it here but I'm going to keep checking on the CG website to see when they offer to ship over here or when they launch the products properly, so that i can just pick it up from boots or wherever, as I've heard a lot about it and they do some really beautiful make up shades for black women. I'm especially impressed at the look of their foundations and lipglosses, and now you mentioned their lipsticks I'm kinda curious about that too. Anyway i'll keep my ear out.

Just one question, Pamela where do you get your clothes? That is the the cutest black dress.

I love the Queen collection foundation. I have tried different department store brands and they make me look made up, but with the Queen Collection I look natural and it gives me a pretty flawless look. I use the natural hue compact in rich mink.

This is my first time owning makeup after 15 years. I was fed up with the lack of coverage or poor matches to my skin tone. I have scars from breakouts and the foundation really minimizes their appearance without looking obvious. The pressed powder adds a nice controlled finish.
