Hi Patrick! Which Cover FX Enhancer Drop is your favourite?

[Journeyc13]

What do you suggest for the best way to use the glitter drops?

[PatrickTa]

@Journeyc13My favorite ways to use them is on top of the cheekbones (Aurora is my favorite shade) and as a lip topper. 🙂

how do i stop my foundation from looking cakey and dry, and how do i make it look smooth and flawless?

Hi Patrick! What’s the best Cover FX products for oily deep shade women?

[PatrickTa]

@Barbs17 Use the Mattifying Setting Spray as a base and then set your look with it. The Kaolin Clay inside the product will help control oil and shine.

Hey! Sometimes when I put on lashes there's fall out from my eye shadow which makes the band on the eye lashes show more. What should I do? I use house of lashes for my falsies and their black glue. Thank you so much for your time!

Patrick, what’s your best trick for a flawless base? How do you use shimmer or foil with hooded eyes?

[PatrickTa]

@shrenanigans Hi babe! I would apply your favorite shade of Shimmer Veil to the inner corner of the eyes and along the top and lower lash lines for a cool glittery effect.

Hi! I love CoverFX as it is the only clean product line that is gentle for sensitive skin that I found my skin tolerates after a chemical injury and suffering from frequent hives. It looks great. I'd like to hear more about the new foundation that is launching. How is it different from the current liquid foundation?

Hi Patrick! Everyone loves the Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops and I want to as well...the colors are stunning and the pigmentation is amazing, but when I try to apply them on top of my foundation(with no powder on top) they remove my foundation completely and leave my skin bare. Any tips?

[PatrickTa]

@Anvher Try applying the drops onto your skin with a sponge and blending it onto your foundation.

Hi Patrick! I’m been experimenting on contour and the problem is, it doesn’t show up on my face! I’ve been using a contour stick and a beauty blender. Am I doing it right or is my face shape just non-countourable?

Hi @PatrickTa!  😄

I wear the Natural Finish Foundation in G40. I want to purchase the Cover Click Concealer + Foundation in both a lighter and darker shade for contouring. Should I use Golden or Neutral for the sticks? What I’m really asking is if you think using all G will have a flatter dimension and possibly put out too much orange? And how do you feel about using G and N together? Bad idea?
