Mandy, this was such a balanced review, full of really useful comparison points. I have the Jane Iredale serum and think it’s the right fit for my skin among the three. Also can’t quite fathom handing over $20+ for a Cover Girl product. 🤷🏻♀️
If the drugstore products can incorporate skincare at 1/3 the price then why not. I would pay for this one because l get 2 or three of these vs 1 of the other. I have been using Jane Iredale liquid mineral but that has became expensive. I bought the cover girl one and l love it.
Haven’t watched yet but I am so happy you are doing this. The reviews are not consistent from one person to another. You are so good at this and I know I can depend on your assessment! Thank you!
Thank you, Mandy, for these comparisons. I have the Jane Iredale and love it! When I have something that works beautifully, there's no need to change. The Jane Iredale line is my favorite!
@@MandyDavisMUA I'd say 90% of my makeup is Jane, including almost every blush. After watching one of your videos years ago and seeing how you used her blush as eyeshadow and even as a highlight, I was more than hooked!😉
Mandy I’m so glad you did this comparison. I forgot I had the JI I also have the Chanel but I thought the JI looked the best and I’m going to use that today! Thx❤.
Finally someone reviewing this who owns the Chanel ! I’ve also seen a lot of reviewers comparing it to the complexion touch thinking that’s the same thing as the water fresh not knowing it’s two different products. Your expertise is always welcomed 🖤. Thanks for reminding me to pull some of my Jane I out !
The four or five reviews I’ve seen that suggest the CG is a dupe to the Chanel are based on use only of the CG product. The ones I’ve seen admit they don’t have the Chanel. That hasn’t made any sense at all to me. I really appreciate how thorough you were in this comparison video. It is much more convincing to me than others I’ve seen.
I have the Chanel, the Jane Iredale, Rose Inc, and Covergirl. I see a difference in how it feels and looks while applying them, but the results are pretty much the same, except the Chanel one has the least amount of coverage, I think. Compared to regular foundations, I think these are a gimmick. You would get the same results mixing foundation with a little serum or moisturizer, or even applying just a few drops of regular foundation with a damp sponge to moisturized skin.
Yeah, we will have to agree to disagree on that one. I have mixed foundations with moisturizers and applied with a damp sponge like you say to moisturized skin, and I still have never found one that looks like the jane iredale for me.
Hi Mandy, thank you for such a thorough and interesting review and comparison of the CoverGirl Essence pigment bead foundation. I tried the Jane Iredale. It's been so long ago that all I remember about it are the pigment beads, because theywere such a "new thing". Anyway, I love how you explain the ingredient list of each, the price/gram comparison, and the recommended percentage of bakuchiol in a product. I don't depend on the makeup for my skincare needs either, unless it's harmful or unethical. I want to try the CG Essence even more now after watching your video. Your comment about including a brush for the most $$ one, was really funny.😂. ❤️
I feel that the CG one has more coverage as opposed to the Jane Iredale one. I have both and they both have skincare ingredients. Bakuchoil can be used with retinol as it doesn’t interfere with benefits. I use the same shade Light Medium as you but l am neutral with yellow undertones. Once applied it adapts to your skin tone and l love the glowy matte finish it provides. Thank you for this review.
You are so welcome! I am sure it comes off different on different skin types as to how much coverage it has. For me it was the opposite, but i am glad you are loving yours!
These products remind me of Erborian CC water gel. Erborian makeup is fantastic. Always a tube of their og CC cream in my makeup. U dont have to worry about shade matching. Their BB is a little heavier. I still haven't tried the Chantecaille gel but maybe someday.. that is on my dream list.
I tried the Rose inc when it launched, and unfortunately, couldn't get it to work for me. I ended up giving it away. For me, the Cover Girl has way more coverage.
Hi Mandy! Thanks a lot for this video! I don’t think we have an access to Cover girl here in Belgium but we do have JI products available and Chanel no doubts .)) I did like how JI look on your skin the most. Do you think they have a bit more cool tone shade in JI? X
I haven’t bought Cover Girl since high school and I’m a Gen X lol! I actually would never use any of those. I prefer foundation. I rarely use drugstore makeup except for a LOreal foundation that I like
I see lots of banner ads on YT for this CG product. I can’t get over the ever-increasing drugstore prices. CG used to be cheap. A big reason for the price hikes is due to so many You Tubers promoting drugstore products imo. Even Elf’s prices are way too high now. Those skinny hoop earrings on you are very flattering. 🖤🩶
I'm becoming addicted to your videos. It's not a bad thing I have restarted my skin routine and my skin is looking better just after 1 week. By the way I agree that drugstore pricing lately has been through the roof and kind of shocking
No way! TY for actually testing/comparing vs. making a blanketclaim that CG is a dupe!❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉And no way does CG stacks up! May have some similarities but thats it!
Ahh, I adore your thought out, note taking, every single point/fact/question box checked reviews. My 13 year old daughter, Pennie, says if she ever gets TH-cam, she’s watching you only! We watch together~~you’re such a major help to her!
Great review! I had the Chanel and gave it away because I didn’t like it at all. But I later found out that I was applying it wrong. I would like to try the Jane though. 👑✝️🙏❤️
I just saw you get commision from Jane, not from CG. The CG is an 'essence TINT, ' it's NOT a foundation, which is why it's so 'runny.' Also why coverage is so light. I don't know why it looks so shiny on you, it's not oily at all. Probably depends on your skin. My skin is dry, so I use a light HA gel moisturizer under it, and no shine. It takes a long time to set on my skin. Looks and feels better after about 15 minutes. Less shine, too, according to some people. It evens out skin tone, gives a little coverage. (You could use 2 coats, if need be ) That's all it's supposed to do. I don't use it alone, no powder or primer.
Actually I do get commission from all of my affiliate links, cover girl included so I am not sure what your comment means. That's all any of these products are supposed to do as they are basically the same type of product...hence the comparison. 😉
@@MandyDavisMUA Oopsie. 😬 I thought maybe you preferred one product over another because of that. I apologize. And I love your channel again, now that you so kindly put me straight. I hate when that happens! 🤣 Thank you. ❤
Thanks for the great review Mandy. I don’t have the Chanel or the Jane but I’ve tried the Chanel at Ulta. I bought the CG and there is a learning curve. I agree with you 100% that your skin must be well hydrated for it to work. It might work well on my skin as I have combo skin. For those with dry skin I think it would be a no. I am currently trying the CG with the Stila One Step Correct Brightening & Correcting Primer and they are great together. The Stila helps to bring down the redness I have with a very light veil of coverage. It’s a nice product. So the CG with the Stila underneath is really a nice combo.
TRUE! I have very dry skin, and the CG makes my skin look amazing! I put a light HA gel moisturizer on before applying. It evens out skin tone, doesn't settle into lines, or pores and lasts all day!
The doll 10 new tinted moisturizer is also like these. You can tell when you squirt it out. You have to swirl your brush in it to mix it up. It’s really pretty on the skin.
How does the Jane hydropure compare to her Dream Tinted Moisturizer in coverage and wear time? Do you also use the pure pressed powder with the moisturizer?
Mandy!! Just wanted to let you know who influenced me 😬😬😬 I picked up JI powder foundation about 2 months ago I’ve used every single day hitting pan 😮 so I went to the HH site got this JI tint and a sunscreen so excited
Ps. I would say CG is sa tinyrd moisturizer! Yes- Im s snob but CG is not for me-break outs, bad shade match and $21 for for drugstore-thesr are the boxes this checks for me!

You are ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL, but…. Today - glowing and stunning! My gorgeous friend ❤
Awww, thank you friend! ❤️
Thank you, Mandy, for these comparisons. I have the Jane Iredale and love it! When I have something that works beautifully, there's no need to change. The Jane Iredale line is my favorite!
I’m with you. Love Jane Iredale.
@@deborahpowell3454 I fully agree. One can't have too much Jane Iredale!😉
100% Keep on loving that jane iredale!
@@MandyDavisMUA I'd say 90% of my makeup is Jane, including almost every blush. After watching one of your videos years ago and seeing how you used her blush as eyeshadow and even as a highlight, I was more than hooked!😉
Doesn't hurt that the channel owner gets a commission from Jane. The CG works great for me, and the price isn't too bad, either.
Mandy I’m so glad you did this comparison. I forgot I had the JI I also have the Chanel but I thought the JI looked the best and I’m going to use that today! Thx❤.
Yay for jane iredale!
I throughly emulsify the Cover Girl one on my hand before applying, and have no streaking. The key is the. emulsifying process - then its lovely.
I have done that as well. And it is still the most streaky when comparing to the other two.
Ps. That is why uou are the best!❤❤❤❤ Love your channel!
Thank you so much!

I think Jamie Paige did so too.
Oh really? I hadn't watched any, but that's funny that someone would say it's the same as a product they don't have. 🤔
Brilliant! You could compare all foundations to JI's - so useful. Would like to see the Prada vs a couple of others.
Thank you!

That's crazy to me...to claim something is a dupe when you don't have the product it is supposedly duping. 🤔
I love the Covergirl
Glad you are loving it Tracey!
I’d love a review from you of the new Jane Iredale HydroPure green color correcting serum. Pretty please.
I use it mostly in my kit, but I will try and pull it out to use in a video.

Covergirl essance is also a dupe for Rose Inc!!

Very scientific. I already have the Jane so I shall not buy the others. Thanks.

Hi Mandi! I have been waiting for this video.. thank you for the comparisons! Love them. Love Jane Iredale cosmetics, some of the best.
You are so welcome, and I agree...they are the best!
Excellent review Mandy! I love the Jane Iredale… because of you:). On my second bottle. Not switching 😊

How does the Jane hydropure compare to her Dream Tinted Moisturizer in coverage and wear time? Do you also use the pure pressed powder with the moisturizer?
If you’re interested, she has a several Jane Iredale videos showing her thoughts on the other Jane Iredale foundations and how she uses them.
I just recently received the brand new formulation of the tinted moisturizer, so I will keep y'all updated soon!
Mandy!! Just wanted to let you know who influenced me 😬😬😬 I picked up JI powder foundation about 2 months ago I’ve used every single day hitting pan 😮 so I went to the HH site got this JI tint and a sunscreen so excited
That makes me so happy...it is the BEST powder foundation!
Ps. I would say CG is sa tinyrd moisturizer! Yes- Im s snob but CG is not for me-break outs, bad shade match and $21 for for drugstore-thesr are the boxes this checks for me!
I agree...the price is definitely up there.
Mandy. is the Jane Iredale good for mature 76 year old skin?
Yes most definitely!
Thank you for the comparisons.
You are so welcome!
Hi mandy loving your videos skincare routine have a lovely weekend 😅 xx
Love this video, Mandy. Thank you for adding the JI to the comparison. And I love your nail colors today!
Thank you!!
