Stage and screen entertainer Bernadette Peters lauds Exuviance product

Professional makeup artists and performers with rigorous expectations for on-camera and on-stage cosmetic performance are singing the praises of CoverBlend by Exuviance, applauding its highly opaque, smudge-resistant, light-reflecting, natural-looking creme makeup qualities.

From the makeup department of the HBO award-winning series “Sex and the City,” Judy Chin says, “CoverBlend foundation and concealers are a staple in our makeup kits. The versatility in coverage is whats so appealing. A small amount tapped over a blemish or discoloration is all you need. Applying the concealers with a firm bristled brush or your fingertip can give you a full range of coverage from a sheer subtle wash to opaque. We find the color range works really well in any lighting situation, and the smudgeproof wearability is something weve come to rely on. CoverBlend is the new ‘must have.’”

Formulated to conceal and correct all types of visible skin imperfections – from minor flaws to major discolorations – CoverBlend Concealing Treatment Cosmetics provide anti-aging benefits, antioxidant properties, intense moisturization and broad-spectrum SPF sunscreen protection.

Angela Nogaro, Emmy-nominated makeup artist for ABC’s “Alias,” asserts, “CoverBlend’s consistency makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, and you always get flawless results.”

Donna-Lou Henderson, Department Head of Makeup for HBO’s “Six Feet Under,” likes the sunscreen protection in CoverBlend and reports that it goes on smoothly and sets well with a much more natural finish. “I can get minimum and maximum coverage with ease,” says Henderson. “This is a great product and a wonderful alternative to the ones I have had to use in the past.”

And the stars agree with the quality of NeoStrata products: Actress Bernadette Peters says, "When I was thirteen and on a trip to Las Vegas, I got a slight tan – but no sun since. I use…a bit of Exuviance by NeoStrata Evening Restorative Complex."

CoverBlend is compatible with active lifestyles: It is easy to use, highly opaque, waterproof and smudgeproof, provides all-day wear and broad-spectrum sunscreen protection from the sun’s burning and aging rays. Formulated with the exclusive, patented polyhydroxy-acid Gluconolactone, CoverBlend conceals while it reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; evens pigmentation; refines skin texture; promotes moisturization; minimizes pores; improves skin color and clarity; and reveals healthy, glowing skin. Gluconolactone, a unique PHA component of all Exuviance products, is a natural antioxidant and cell nutrient developed for sensitive skin.

CoverBlend has also generated the endorsement of noted entertainment industry makeup artist Davida Simon, The Makeup Room with Davida Simon: "CoverBlend is an excellent product for women needing full coverage makeup. Its the answer for all skins no matter, man, woman or child who have special ‘cover-up’ needs. Dab the concealer on hard-to-cover areas. Blend a shade or two of foundation or concealer to match your skin perfectly. Feather the edges with your fingers, or sponge for a natural look. Pat on powder with a puff to set."

Another industry notable, Patty DelSordo, makeup and wig designer for theatre and opera productions, adds, “As I was searching for a product that I could use professionally for opera performers as well as during personal appearance and self esteem workshops, I was introduced to CoverBlend. Its texture, coverage and stability prompted me to give it a try – and I quickly became an advocate. Opera performers love CoverBlend because of its gentleness to the skin and flawless appearance. Im thrilled to stand behind a product that I can use artistically as well as recommend to the private sector.”
