I figured it was high time for my first foundation review on Hoots of a Night Al, so I decided to start with one of my tried and true favorites. The Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation is a great, affordable, medium coverage foundation. With 14 shades to choose from, it will fit a range of skin tones. Another perk is that it can be found at most drugstores as well as Walmart and Target for around $10 or less.
As always, I typically apply my foundation with a MAC 187 duo fibre face brush. I have had this brush for years, and it really blends my foundation evenly. However, I have also applied this foundation with my fingers, and the results are still great.
As you can see in the photo below, one layer of the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 foundation covers almost all of my redness and helps with my under eye circles. The “3-in-1” claim implies that this foundation combines primer, concealer, and foundation in one step. I am happy to say it can be layered to achieve fuller coverage for trouble spots. Of course if you have more severe skin issues, a concealer will always aid in covering up those areas.
On my combination skin, the foundation lasts for around 10-12 hours without a primer, so I think their claims are pretty fair! With a primer, it lasts even longer, of course.
Another perk of this foundation is that it has SPF 20 included, so you’re helping to protect your skin all day. This product is unscented, which is nice. It has a relatively matte finish, and you can add a finishing powder to help your look stay fresh all day.
Covergirl’s Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation is one of my go-to drugstore foundations for the price and quality. If you’re looking for a reasonably priced product for everyday wear, I would give it a try!

I’ve been trying to get ahold of this foundation for ages!! It doesn’t retail here in Ireland and other sites put the price up something fierce! I heard maxfactor actually owns the brand and they have the face finity 3 in 1 foundation and it’s meant to be exactly like this so I’ll have to give it a go! really loved the finish it gave you so natural! it looks sooo stunning on you! loved your post would love it if you checked out my latest post xx
Oh, I hope the Maxfactor product is similar because I really do love this foundation! Good luck! I’ll check out your post for sure!
I’ve been using this foundation for about 9 months now and I LOVE it! Great review, Ali!
A great product for a great price…you can’t beat it!!
Great review! I need to try it.
Thanks, Mrs. Lang!
Hi Ali. What color are you using this foundation in? I think that shade should work for my skin tone as well 🙂
Hi Sasha! I’m wearing Classic Ivory here! When I have a bit more color, I wear Buff Beige! Hope that helps!
Thanks, Ali!
