people with skin texture reviewing foundations are so important! other people with skin texture deserve informative reviews that apply to them like other specific skin concerns, like people with oily skin or are pregnant or live in dry climates etc!!
I have textured skin and scars and the IT cc cream works so great at covering. I will also use the Maybelline master concealer if I need extra coverage on certain spots. They both have high coverage and don't need a lot of product at all, and it conceals my texture a lot, especially once I add a little bit of powder to matting my face it doesn't enhance texture or feel dry. I use either the airspun translucent or the Anastasia banana powder.
The thing I hate about shade matching based on previous matches, is that I’ve never had the perfect match because brands are just now getting their shade ranges together.
Same! I've NEVER had a foundation match! I always have to mix a very light foundation I don't like with a darker one I love to get a match. It's a bummer!! I'm very fair with cool undertones and foundations are either way too light and yellow or way to dark and pink. I've found ONE match and they don't make it anymore! 😫
Yep.. I'm Arab with an aggressively olive undertone and I never had a good foundation match until the urban decay stay naked foundation came out. Fenty foundations are orange on me because everyone seems to forget that olive is an undertone for some reason 🙃
Marketing wise - the more ads I get for a brand, the less likely I am to buy it. I feel like brands who push ads on consumers are overcompensating for their shite quality or practices.
@@pippurrs Hooray me too with the migraines and photosensitivity. I've been calling myself a cave troll (not to be mistaken for a bridge troll. They're different) for half my life, I feel like, and it's so nice to finally find others of my species! I think it's at least in part due to the aforesaid cave troll lifestyle that I am an insanely, unusually pale olive (with some surface pinkness that threw me off the scent for years). I tanned easily as a kid, but now I burn almost instantly if I'm exposed to any amount of direct sunlight, it seems. I'm approximately the colour of bleached pond water. Or early zombie. Translucent oatmeal? Petrified celery? Some combination of the above. Which sort of adds to the whole cave troll thing, frankly. So. That's great for me.
YAASSSSSS someone is finally addressing the harassment of these ads. I NEEDED to know what it was like but utterly refused out of the sheer principal. I didn't want their targeting to work on me. Same as the Our Place pan.
I refuse to buy anything on Facebook, Instagram, or anything that I'll be talking about with a friend or family member and then IMMEDIATELY see an ad on the very same item (that I've never seen before!) on social media!! They aren't going to make money by SPYING ON MY FAT ASS!
I got caught with the our place ad and I’m not gonna lie it’s actually really nice. 😅 I really do just mostly use this pan and I’ve had it for 2 years and it’s still so Non-stick 😭😭😭. I got sucked in lmfao.
I'm here for the real skin. Thank you. As someone who struggled with my skin to the point of doing accutane twice it's nice to see myself on the screen.
@@guadalupemalagon9572 Many beauty youtubers and influencers will edit, blur, use lighting to hide imperfections. So yes, everyone has "real skin" by definition, but not everyone is showing off their real skin.
You where on acutane! My dermatologist wants me to get in it saying it's the last thing I can try but having to be on birth control im not excited with because I just Dont do well on any of it. But my point is I would like to know your thoughts about it.
@@freerise8754 It is rough. I did it twice and the second time around was worse for side effects. There's no denying it works though! It really is a miracle drug for acne if you can get past the side effects. I don't know your derm's approach but people are on it for a few months (I was 5) so it is temporary, unlike birth control which you may be on for years and years.
I'm glad this video popped, as I too did Accutane back in the day. I'm still dealing with acne, but not as bad as I've gotten older. Your comment just hit home. I've been on Spironolactone for so many years.
Hhahahahaha I’m 27 and I totally feel you sometimes I’m walking around target with my 2 kids thinking wow ppl must think I was 16 and pregnant and then I catch a glimpse of myself in the unforgiving lighting and reality hits
You’re a month too late to save me, Sam. They got me in my post Christmas blue’s. But thank you for doing your part to save the rest of the population from this abysmal foundation.
Story time: fuck Il Makiage So... friend convinced me to get a free makeover at Il Makiage's in-person popup in NYC. I was excited and went. I had planned on buying something out of courtesy. The lady starts out by pretty much shit-talking the foundation I use (mind you, I went *tptally foundationless* that day *because* I knew I was getting my makeup done, only spot-concealing some acne spots). The lady tries to tell me how high quality their stuff is and blahblahblah. I genuinely did like one eyeshadow and the bronzer. I was going to buy those things. So the makeover is done, it comes out ok I guess, and she starts scanning everything she put on my face. I thought it was for inventory or bookkeeping reasons or whatever. Then she tells me it'll be *OVER THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS.* I'm like... Dude what? I didn't ask for any of this. But the lady kept pushing me to buy the foundation and brushes, which were like 60 bucks each. No prices were listed btw. Which is very illegal in NYC. I told her I couldnt spend that much, I'm unemployed, that's probably more than I spend on makeup in a year. She wasnt backing down. So I panicked, blurted out "IM PREGNANT AND MY WATER JUST BROKE GOTTA GO BYE" and darted out since I'm rather apple-shaped and that was the first "out" that came to mind! Lady would have made a solid $50 in sales if she didnt push me, btw. But noooo, she tried to force me into buying $300 of junk I dodn't want or need. Fuck them and their shady shit.
WHAAAAATTTTTT😳NO…you gotta be kidding me, lol I don’t mean the water broke part but the free make over and you have to pay me over $300 part..this is so fucked..I swear I prob would have started smashing her shit if she didn’t shut up right away😂🤣😂
I love everything about you. Your MAGNIFICENTLY honest straightforwardness... There's no one as true as you. Parenting, plants, mess, not-great skin... Everything. Thank you for wasting your time on us.
I’m sooooo happy you’re so open and honest. I’ll be 45 in april and all these foundations make me look 80! I’m so over buying expensive products that end up in a drawer. Everyone deserves to feel beautiful no matter what age. Thankyou for the review. 💯
HLP is one of my favorite YT channels & also has great patreon content. She puts so much thought and care into her videos, and really promotes self-reflection in such positive ways. It is really awesome to see someone with your platform promoting her to others, with no weird motivations or strings attached. You're inspiring & I enjoy your content very much (including and especially the new mom stuff). Thank you Sam!
I love how when you ask the company to show you what the foundation looks like on textured skin they dm it to you privately but refuse to show it on their socials. They know it sucks.
So, I work im the skincare formulations/manufacturing industry and I wanted to quickly comment on hyauronic acid in products. It is EXTREMELY common to see actives used for label boosting (just for marketing purposes) as Sam mentioned, which is a sad reality of the cosmetics industry. However, when it comes to a humectant ingredient like hyaluronic acid it can actually have the opposite of its intended effect of drawing moisture into the skin and keeping it there, if it is not formulated correctly. Generally for hyularonic acid to be most effective, you really need to apply an occlusive ingredient along with it or over it. This is especially true when using humectants in a dry environment with low humidity where they can actually start pulling moisture out of your skin. Taking a quick look at the ingredients, even though this foundation contains a fair bit of occlusive silicone it also contains a lot of solvent ingredients which can be quite drying, as well as quite a few powder based texturizing ingredients that would be great for contriling oil but will increase the dryness factor on the skin. I personally would not recommend a foundation containing two types of drying alcohols, especially not for dry skin. It also contains a known irritant ingredient pretty high up in the ingredient list.
This is the first foundation review I’ve been interested in watching in a looong time, just because I see these ads all the time lol. I had to hear your take on it
The same exact result happened to me today with an it cosmetics foundation and honestly having dry skin is so awful for trying foundations. It was an absolute mess
I can totally relate. I only tried the free sample of the acne concealer from them. Shit was intense. I don't know why I wasn't expecting it to be. But you can't use it on anything but acne spots or it destroys your skin
As a dry skin girlie, the only foundation that works for me is the IT Cosmetics Illuminating CC cream topped with Hourglass veil and god, the result is amazing
Sam, please feel free to turn down your lighting. I have photosensitivity from chronic migraines and know how much it hurts. Seriously, we’d watch you completely in the dark like those old true crime documentaries where the person’s identity is being hidden in the dark. Maybe don’t do the voice changer though. 😅
I think it’s MORE helpful to see “imperfect” skin review a foundation. I really appreciate the very detailed close ups too. I tried this foundation like 5 years ago and I weirdly have been tempted to REtry it? Nah you refreshed my memory!
I would give it a chance! I truly enjoy my foundation. I tried it 5 years ago and it wasn’t the best match, but I tried it again recently and I’m AMAZED.
I thought it was so strange that I seeing ANYONE on UA-cam going crazy over this foundation. I've literally NEVER heard one beauty UA-camr say it's their holy grail and that's what I need to hear from multiple people to buy high end products lol
And I can TELL their vids on FB are doctored! The asian lady who swipes it on…I can TELL it’s computer generated/filtered! She did a single stroke and her whole cheek was porcelain smooth HAHA! As if we are stupid 😂
I tried this a few years ago and the shade match was off a bit but when I sent it back I told them I didn't NOT under any circumstances want a replacement because the perfume was too overpowering. And I'm not particularly sensitive. They sent me my money back AND gave me enough store credit to get their face primer which I do love.
Wayne Goss said EXACTLY the same about the fragrance in fact he called it "offensive". This is so important to know as someone with a chronic illness so thank you!
I took the quiz and it annoyed me because it asked what skin type I have and what finish i want, but then it turned out they only had one foundation anyway. Why ask if you’re just gonna offer full coverage matte?
My mom bought this foundation and it's somehow a perfect match for both of us. She loves it and is on her second bottle and I really enjoy it too! I think it could have also just been the child-like fun of wearing moms makeup but I truly think it made my skin look so nice.
I really want to try this foundation but I'm cheap ( bc I'm poor, lol ) . That's why I'm checking out reviews for it. I'm glad to read that you liked it... Gonna keep checking out reviews and comments and then I'll decide if I want to actually purchase it, lol!
@@SundayMourningLoveit really depends on your skin and the coverage you want. I love this foundation and one pump is way too much for me. I'm thinking she might have made a mistake filling out their quiz
Thank you for taking the hit and trying this foundation so we don't have to. The constant harassment is so annoying. I'd love to see you try the Charlotte Tilbury beautiful skin foundation if you haven't yet! Love ya Sam!!! 💜
I had a similar experience with the foundation in the square glass bottle, which is what I was directed to buy after clicking an ad. HOWEVER, I also tried the foundation they sell in the tube, which I really like and turned out to be a favorite! I also got the wrong shade based on the quiz, but then when I went thru the process of getting the correct shade, (which was free) they had me send natural light photos of myself and they chose a shade based on that, which turned out to be a perfect match. (I don't have dry skin though, more combo). But weirdly the foundation in the tube has way more coverage, and you need to use way less of it, than the one in glass. ❤
I tried this foundation before the pandemic when they targeted me with their ads and hated it, especially for the price point. It looked so cakey and I tried it with multiple different primers, the ads are lies haha.
@@hollytavi5576 exactly! I also noticed that a lot of their reviews said that the product was received free as part of a promotion and they were all five star reviews of course.
Dude you saved me with this! Was so close to caving with those ads, the only things that was stopping me was actually the volume of ads. I wondered what they were overcompensating for and didn't want to reward the behaviour of thinking ad targeting at that level was acceptable 😂
Every time those ads hit me, all I can think it how thick and heavy that foundation looks, so I've never been into it. Thanks for suffering through this to confirm my feelings, I appreciate it
They send out the eyeliner because they want you to love it and become a repeat purchaser for it. Eyeliner and mascara are the things we use up fastest for a repurchase.
I also fell for these ads! However.. when I first applied it I HATED it! I felt soooooooo old! I applied a lot of product. I tried again with half of what I used the first time and I actually LOVE it now!
Omg the way she looked at “tiny baby” ☺️😍 I’ve always wondered about this foundation but the amount of ads forced me NOT to buy it lol so thanks for taking one for the team! Please try all the foundations 😆
Sam its so wonderful for me to see your real skin on the screen and to be able to see that you’re beautiful despite having not clear skin. I was haunted by the thought that i was never good looking because of my skin but you are still so confident and beautiful- its the representation i needed when i was younger for sure
I love Hannah Louise Poston! Started following her after you mentioned her in your Saie review. She motivated me to start a no buy this year. So grateful you recommended her
I’m so glad you posted this. I tried this foundation about a year ago and hated it (I ended up throwing it away) But I’ve been seeing their ads so much lately I was thinking about trying it out again and now I definitely won’t. 😊
@@missjoasia123 I don’t think I tried it right away so I was outside the return window (whatever that was, I can’t remember) but I agree. I certainly would have returned it if I could have! 😊
I keep getting their Ads on Pinterest and they all look so amazed at the colour match! Thank you for your honest review and humour as always 😘 hope you and baby are doing well ❤️
i can relate so hard to the sensitive postpartum eyes girl. it’s the fucking worst. but also i’m so happy you’re reviewing this so i can get an honest reaction to this foundation. thank you for falling for the fb ads so we didn’t have too. peoples champion.
I know it’s been super hyped up on TikTok but I’m really liking the Charlotte tilbury beautiful skin foundation. I don’t usually go for glowier foundations because I’m oily but with a little powder it’s really smooth and pretty! And it doesn’t break down super patchy and terrible which is a plus
As a revert Muslim you stand by some things I believe in too. You’re such a cool person. You’re so real and stand up for what is truly right. You stand out girl. I really mean this from the bottom of my heart. I stayed subscribed to you. I actually am a revert to Islam. I didn’t grow into the religion but anyway long story short I went on a unfollowing rampage to trash all the junk on UA-cam and Ig. You stayed because your character and conduct is so high you are genuine and sincere. You deserve to flourish and May God increase you mentally,physically, spiritually, and financially. Ameen (Ps regarding the foundation) I bought this too and I’m not into a lot of things! I bought it and asked for my money back so luckily they did refund me but it was so thick and I use very little foundation. I didn’t like it.
Medina, Being unfamiliar with anything Muslim or Islam, I went on a search for information. My reason for doing this was your comment to the OP where you said, “your character and conduct is so high.” Also, your first sentence implies the OP is a revert Muslim and you state you are as well, if I understood you correctly, which was another reason for seeking information. The article I discovered was titled, “Law of Saying Bad Swear in Islam According to Quran and Hadith.” It also stated there are “certain rules and law created to protect the purity of Muslims.” It goes on to say, “Every moral filth is prohibited, including saying bad swear and using foul language.” Also, I must admit that I stopped watching this video at 14:02, so I have no idea what followed. More of the same I would expect. Perhaps it’s already clear what I’m about to say, however, in those mere 14 minutes, the OP swore (fucking) 26 times. (Yes, I actually took the time to count, lol). Please don’t get me wrong, I’m no prude and I’m not offended at all. I can swear the likes a trucker at times myself. So, I’d like to ask you this. If you and the OP are revert Muslims who follow the rules and law protecting the purity of Muslims, how is it you can give the OP a compliment that her character and conduct is so high? I realize this comment is unrelated to the video. However, it is in response to your comment. Would you be so kind as to help me understand? Thank you.
@Dakota P in short: the same as any other religion. Christianity, agnostic, atheist,- whatever. If you're a good person you're a good person. No one if PERFECT in any religion. She wasn't inferring anything about her being Muslim either. She was talking about unfollowing people due to today's standards and she's not comfortable with their lifestyle therfore she removed herself from that situation. 🤷♀️ whatever the case is.... spread love and kindness friend. 💜 it doesn't matter what color or religion we are as long as we spread positivity.
I tried this foundation a few years ago and the match was perfect. No lie I was shocked. Also the coverage and finish were so good I knew I had found the holy grail. And then came the breakouts. This foundation broke me out so bad when I was working so hard on my clearing my skin beforehand that I sent that shit back as fast as I could.
Girl me too! I wore it for 3 days before I realized what was happening and it took a couple of weeks to clear up the pimple mess they made of my face 😂
Hannah is awesome! I appreciate her influence on the lightest auric glowlust shade. I bought it after she reviewed shade change and it’s perfect for me! Love you both!
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN MY WHOLE UA-cam LIFE? I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M JUST NOW WATCHING ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS FOR THE FIRST TIME. I FREAKING LOVE YOU AND YOUR ENERGY AND I'M SO EXCITED TO WATCH YOUR VIDEOS!! ❤️
I have a lot of difficulty matching foundation too. In fact, when the L'oreal product I used for YEARS was dc'd, I failed with matching about 3 times. I was so frustrated that I went to Ulta and said "you've GOT to help me because I truly suck at this" Thankfully that worked out and I now have 2 new foundation products that I love. Lord help me if I have to find something new again! I'll be back to square one, I guess 🙄
That foundation reminds me of the way that pink calamine lotion dries down and looks/feels. No thanks!! So glad someone reviewed it that isn’t a biased shill. You look great! Mom life suits you.
Damn, the fact that this makes you feel old is awful, I don’t want a reality check when I put on my foundation! I want to feel delusional about my age and skin because the makeup looks that freaking flawless 😂🤩! I’m a sexy chick not a sad old hag 😩, just throw the whole company away!
This is the best review I’ve ever seen. This is how I’d tell my friends about a product and I love it so much. Super honest, lots of f bombs, it literally doesn’t get better than this. First video I’ve seen of yours and I’m sold. Don’t even know what your regular content is 😂😂
I purchased this foundation a year ago after seeing Mel Thompson use it, and I too couldn’t understand the hype. It’s THICK AF, and no matter what, it looks cakey. And it oxidized slightly on me which I did not appreciate. Also, yes, in addition to drying out my skin, it sucked out my will to live. I could have saved myself some postage and found some flesh toned putty to smear on my face because that was about the same effect I got with the foundation. Not to mention it picks up and emphasizes every single line on the face 😖😡🤬
I purchased the foundation with very low expectations since they advertise SO much, but I was SOOO surprised at the color match! Every time I wear it, I get so many compliments and people are amazed at how much it looks like it’s my natural skin! I highly recommend IL Makiage! The one thing you gotta be careful with is their sneaky add-ons. They sent me an eyeliner with my purchase, to try for 14 days. If you don’t return it, it’s like $29. I ended up keeping it since I assumed it was a freebie and was surprised when they charged me. Nevertheless, the foundation is amazing.
I matched with the full coverage version (After Party) and I absolutely ADORE it and their foundation brush. It feels and looks like my skin yet covers any discoloration I have, it's crazy. I am in my 30's and have been pretty lucky about wrinkles but I do suffer from large pores and it seems to look really good on my skin.
Smell aside, texture aside, I felt like the first part when you applied could have been part of the ad. It's definitely a good match. Maybe not a great foundation for you, but a good match.
God, I got scammed on this one too and I’m so mad that I did. Thought I was just ordering a tiny free sample, next thing I know, my account is charged $112 and then my card got frauded after I ordered this. Then I returned it right away. The concealer was horrible on me and the foundation wasn’t worth it at all compared to my other ones. Such a nightmare experience 😒
I know this is an older video, but it’s hilarious because this foundation is the first that has *not* made me break out, made my face feel insanely dry and crusty, or looked like shit, and it actually lasted all day and definitely didn’t smell compared to any other foundation I’ve ever tried. And the foundations I’ve tried are from the cheap to expensive, so it’s not like I’ve only ever had dollar store products 🤣 Just funny and crazy how skin varies so much.
I’ve seen these ads so often, I was defining going to buy it soon so thank god you made this video. Also, so proud of Hannah Louise Poston for begging a shout out! She’s so bomb, definitely check out her channel.
I’m SO glad you posted this!! I too was so tempted by the facebook ads, and as I have similarly texted skin to you, I’m fairly sure it wouldn’t have looked good on me. You’re doing us all a service x
I had such a love-hate relationship with this foundation at first (now I don't like it), the shade match was good until it heavily oxidized & it also felt so heavy! Also the return policy has so many loopholes.... needless to say I got screwed on that.
I'm 57 and I don't expect miracles but this foundation made me look much older. It made my skin look dry and settled into ever fine line. There are so many better foundations that I will never by this one again.
I have very very dry and sensitive skin, it’s so difficult to find formulas that work with both problems and don’t make me look old. I really appreciate your honest reviews and discussing the reality of skin in addition to how makeup reacts.
Textured skin is a different world for the makeup industry it's like an entirely different language on your skin make up look so different on us and the rules that apply to normal skin donor applied to us it's like for textured skin you're basically throwing expensive dust in our face and calling it A-day it doesn't make us look any better sometimes it can even make us look worse
edit: Hannah Louis Poston!! uh I recently found her and I love her, her style and content so much!! btw! I found out about entice - SAM IT IS A MASTERPIECE! thank you. If anyone could get it right- it's you, damn! uhhh it's what olive dreams are made of!! thank you, Sam
Sam we know you’re not about the party all night and day lifestyle but you are accidentally doing a great impression of a blasted person who is trying to get through a meeting. Hope your eyeballs feel better soon and your circle of loved ones is doing well!
I tried it, and hated it! The scent was overwhelming, and it was so thick, I couldn't stand it (and the shade i matched with was way too yellow). But I'll give them credit- the customer service was amazing.
Thank you for taking one for the team...I will avoid like the plague as my crusty ass face doesn't need to look drier then it already does! I hope you eye sensitivity goes soon for you, I get it around my migraines & it hurts!
(Also!) I soak my face with a damp facecloth for 3-4 mins then gently remove the dry healed skin around my “dead” acne. It makes my face 90% less patchy when I do that. The dead skin comes right off and doesn’t tear at any (progressive) scabs that are still covering a hole. I found that it heals (or looks like it) so much faster because I keep my face moist. (I get your face may be oily, but having that cloth bring up all that crap and then being able to clean it up a bit can make you feel a lot better about yourself (if you do feel any kind of Uhg) You have a really infectious smile, and your bumps do not take away from your beauty.
I would love to see you try The Foundation Stick from Basma Beauty! Canadian-owned, 40 shades, and a really cool story behind the brand. I also am curious to see how good it is because a stick seems more convenient travel-wise!
I bought this foundation at the beginning of the pandemic and at the time I didn’t care for it, didn’t think the shade matched perfectly and just didn’t use it again. I recently pulled it out of the drawer and used such a significantly smaller amount, and even though my skin has been so dry as of late, it looked so much better! I have redness in my skin but overall minimal texture. I’d say this foundation is drying, absolutely. Maybe try a smaller amount and apply it with your fingers and final blend with a sponge?
people with skin texture reviewing foundations are so important! other people with skin texture deserve informative reviews that apply to them like other specific skin concerns, like people with oily skin or are pregnant or live in dry climates etc!!
Exactly! Perfect skin that doesn't need foundation isn't the best reference for me.
Yes!! I always look for people with similar acne prone skin like mine when it comes to foundation reviews

Sam's PR packaging video was one of the most hilarious yet serious videos she made 😂 Like wtf we're they thinking!?
Do you remember the title please? I would love to see it!!
Oh I hope someone does remember because that video changed like the entire way I see makeup, consumerism, and beauty gurus in general
Hhahahahaha I’m 27 and I totally feel you sometimes I’m walking around target with my 2 kids thinking wow ppl must think I was 16 and pregnant and then I catch a glimpse of myself in the unforgiving lighting and reality hits
😂
Yes!!! I’m 29 and have a 9,7 and 2 year old and I feel young and feel like I look young. But then that lighting mixed with my premature greys 😩
Sam: It’s one o’clock. No one gets ready this late in the day.
Me: Sam, you know all of us who are stressy and depressy do this a lot. It’s okay. ♥️
Me getting ready at 7 o clock👁👄👁
Also me who starts work at 6pm lol 🙋🏻♀
And Me… gets ready at 11pm serums and lashes, to wake up and go the next morning… 1pm is early to get ready, in my mind, especially with a baby.💕
I am also an extra lemon depressy
Stressy and depressy got me 😂❤️
You’re a month too late to save me, Sam. They got me in my post Christmas blue’s. But thank you for doing your part to save the rest of the population from this abysmal foundation.
Story time: fuck Il Makiage
So... friend convinced me to get a free makeover at Il Makiage's in-person popup in NYC. I was excited and went. I had planned on buying something out of courtesy. The lady starts out by pretty much shit-talking the foundation I use (mind you, I went *tptally foundationless* that day *because* I knew I was getting my makeup done, only spot-concealing some acne spots). The lady tries to tell me how high quality their stuff is and blahblahblah. I genuinely did like one eyeshadow and the bronzer. I was going to buy those things. So the makeover is done, it comes out ok I guess, and she starts scanning everything she put on my face. I thought it was for inventory or bookkeeping reasons or whatever. Then she tells me it'll be *OVER THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS.*
I'm like... Dude what? I didn't ask for any of this. But the lady kept pushing me to buy the foundation and brushes, which were like 60 bucks each. No prices were listed btw. Which is very illegal in NYC. I told her I couldnt spend that much, I'm unemployed, that's probably more than I spend on makeup in a year. She wasnt backing down. So I panicked, blurted out "IM PREGNANT AND MY WATER JUST BROKE GOTTA GO BYE" and darted out since I'm rather apple-shaped and that was the first "out" that came to mind!
Lady would have made a solid $50 in sales if she didnt push me, btw. But noooo, she tried to force me into buying $300 of junk I dodn't want or need. Fuck them and their shady shit.
"IM PREGNANT AND MY WATER JUST BROKE GOTTA GO BYE" escape lol, crying hahah
Absolutely bizarre wtf is wrong with them LMAO honestly iconic how you escaped
What an iconic escape 👑
WHAAAAATTTTTT😳NO…you gotta be kidding me, lol I don’t mean the water broke part but the free make over and you have to pay me over $300 part..this is so fucked..I swear I prob would have started smashing her shit if she didn’t shut up right away😂🤣😂
Wow I never heard of a sale being pushed so hard. How unprofessional and very stressful that was a great escape by the way😄
I love everything about you. Your MAGNIFICENTLY honest straightforwardness... There's no one as true as you. Parenting, plants, mess, not-great skin... Everything. Thank you for wasting your time on us.
I’ve seen these ads so many times that I’ve now cultivated a soul-deep hate for this company lol. Them and Hunt-A-Killer.
At least hunt a killer donates to the cold case foundation. Lol
What?? Hunt a Killer is awesome! 😎
I’m sooooo happy you’re so open and honest. I’ll be 45 in april and all these foundations make me look 80! I’m so over buying expensive products that end up in a drawer. Everyone deserves to feel beautiful no matter what age. Thankyou for the review. 💯
HLP is one of my favorite YT channels & also has great patreon content. She puts so much thought and care into her videos, and really promotes self-reflection in such positive ways. It is really awesome to see someone with your platform promoting her to others, with no weird motivations or strings attached. You're inspiring & I enjoy your content very much (including and especially the new mom stuff). Thank you Sam!
I love how when you ask the company to show you what the foundation looks like on textured skin they dm it to you privately but refuse to show it on their socials. They know it sucks.
Sam: "It's 1 o clock, no one gets ready this late in the day"
Me, waking up at 3pm: ......
So, I work im the skincare formulations/manufacturing industry and I wanted to quickly comment on hyauronic acid in products. It is EXTREMELY common to see actives used for label boosting (just for marketing purposes) as Sam mentioned, which is a sad reality of the cosmetics industry. However, when it comes to a humectant ingredient like hyaluronic acid it can actually have the opposite of its intended effect of drawing moisture into the skin and keeping it there, if it is not formulated correctly. Generally for hyularonic acid to be most effective, you really need to apply an occlusive ingredient along with it or over it. This is especially true when using humectants in a dry environment with low humidity where they can actually start pulling moisture out of your skin. Taking a quick look at the ingredients, even though this foundation contains a fair bit of occlusive silicone it also contains a lot of solvent ingredients which can be quite drying, as well as quite a few powder based texturizing ingredients that would be great for contriling oil but will increase the dryness factor on the skin. I personally would not recommend a foundation containing two types of drying alcohols, especially not for dry skin. It also contains a known irritant ingredient pretty high up in the ingredient list.
Thanks for this. I was gonna buy it but I am super dry skinned
So for a bad oily skin is it good?
Thanks for your comment. Are there types of foundation you like? Brands?
This is the first foundation review I’ve been interested in watching in a looong time, just because I see these ads all the time lol. I had to hear your take on it
The same exact result happened to me today with an it cosmetics foundation and honestly having dry skin is so awful for trying foundations. It was an absolute mess
I can totally relate. I only tried the free sample of the acne concealer from them. Shit was intense. I don't know why I wasn't expecting it to be. But you can't use it on anything but acne spots or it destroys your skin
That’s why I love my Georgia Armani luminous silk fdn. My skin is always dry even when I moisturize but the Armani fdn goes on amazing
As a dry skin girlie, the only foundation that works for me is the IT Cosmetics Illuminating CC cream topped with Hourglass veil and god, the result is amazing
Sam, please feel free to turn down your lighting. I have photosensitivity from chronic migraines and know how much it hurts. Seriously, we’d watch you completely in the dark like those old true crime documentaries where the person’s identity is being hidden in the dark. Maybe don’t do the voice changer though. 😅
Yessssss I agree! I would 100% watch her do a video like that omg I would loose my shit 😂😂😂
Agreed. 9 months late but agreed.
I think it’s MORE helpful to see “imperfect” skin review a foundation. I really appreciate the very detailed close ups too. I tried this foundation like 5 years ago and I weirdly have been tempted to REtry it? Nah you refreshed my memory!
lol same. i watched this video and it reminded me of why i didn't like it.
those ads tho... freaking genuses
I would give it a chance! I truly enjoy my foundation. I tried it 5 years ago and it wasn’t the best match, but I tried it again recently and I’m AMAZED.
you're right sam, I don't get ready at 1pm. I get ready at 3 and finish by 5 and that's me starting the day
Me too!
I thought it was so strange that I seeing ANYONE on UA-cam going crazy over this foundation. I've literally NEVER heard one beauty UA-camr say it's their holy grail and that's what I need to hear from multiple people to buy high end products lol
And I can TELL their vids on FB are doctored! The asian lady who swipes it on…I can TELL it’s computer generated/filtered! She did a single stroke and her whole cheek was porcelain smooth HAHA! As if we are stupid 😂
I tried this a few years ago and the shade match was off a bit but when I sent it back I told them I didn't NOT under any circumstances want a replacement because the perfume was too overpowering. And I'm not particularly sensitive. They sent me my money back AND gave me enough store credit to get their face primer which I do love.
Wayne Goss said EXACTLY the same about the fragrance in fact he called it "offensive". This is so important to know as someone with a chronic illness so thank you!
I don't even wear makeup anymore, I'm just here for the Sam and her lawls.
Same ♥️
Literally same lol
I took the quiz and it annoyed me because it asked what skin type I have and what finish i want, but then it turned out they only had one foundation anyway. Why ask if you’re just gonna offer full coverage matte?
I don’t wear foundation but I have seen so many ads for this goddamn foundation that any time I see someone hate it it brings me joy
My mom bought this foundation and it's somehow a perfect match for both of us. She loves it and is on her second bottle and I really enjoy it too! I think it could have also just been the child-like fun of wearing moms makeup but I truly think it made my skin look so nice.
I bought this recently also, I learned with myself I can’t wear primer under it or it makes it look horrible but with out primer it’s amazing!
I really want to try this foundation but I'm cheap ( bc I'm poor, lol ) . That's why I'm checking out reviews for it. I'm glad to read that you liked it... Gonna keep checking out reviews and comments and then I'll decide if I want to actually purchase it, lol!
@@SundayMourningLoveit really depends on your skin and the coverage you want. I love this foundation and one pump is way too much for me. I'm thinking she might have made a mistake filling out their quiz
Thank you for taking the hit and trying this foundation so we don't have to. The constant harassment is so annoying. I'd love to see you try the Charlotte Tilbury beautiful skin foundation if you haven't yet! Love ya Sam!!! 💜
I had a similar experience with the foundation in the square glass bottle, which is what I was directed to buy after clicking an ad. HOWEVER, I also tried the foundation they sell in the tube, which I really like and turned out to be a favorite! I also got the wrong shade based on the quiz, but then when I went thru the process of getting the correct shade, (which was free) they had me send natural light photos of myself and they chose a shade based on that, which turned out to be a perfect match. (I don't have dry skin though, more combo). But weirdly the foundation in the tube has way more coverage, and you need to use way less of it, than the one in glass. ❤
I tried this foundation before the pandemic when they targeted me with their ads and hated it, especially for the price point. It looked so cakey and I tried it with multiple different primers, the ads are lies haha.
I’ve seen so many reviews saying this exact thing. I don’t trust any of the 400,000 positive reviews on their website lol.
@@mandaleemilly6367 It just makes me question the amount of video editing used in all these ads...
@@hollytavi5576 exactly! I also noticed that a lot of their reviews said that the product was received free as part of a promotion and they were all five star reviews of course.
Me too! It was so bad and made me look orange and cakey. It was also super patchy, the coverage was awful.
Dude you saved me with this! Was so close to caving with those ads, the only things that was stopping me was actually the volume of ads. I wondered what they were overcompensating for and didn't want to reward the behaviour of thinking ad targeting at that level was acceptable 😂
Every time those ads hit me, all I can think it how thick and heavy that foundation looks, so I've never been into it. Thanks for suffering through this to confirm my feelings, I appreciate it
They send out the eyeliner because they want you to love it and become a repeat purchaser for it. Eyeliner and mascara are the things we use up fastest for a repurchase.
I also fell for these ads! However.. when I first applied it I HATED it! I felt soooooooo old! I applied a lot of product. I tried again with half of what I used the first time and I actually LOVE it now!
Yes same! I just posted a similar comment. Totally agree with you
Omg the way she looked at “tiny baby” ☺️😍
I’ve always wondered about this foundation but the amount of ads forced me NOT to buy it lol so thanks for taking one for the team!
Please try all the foundations 😆
Sam its so wonderful for me to see your real skin on the screen and to be able to see that you’re beautiful despite having not clear skin. I was haunted by the thought that i was never good looking because of my skin but you are still so confident and beautiful- its the representation i needed when i was younger for sure
I love Hannah Louise Poston! Started following her after you mentioned her in your Saie review. She motivated me to start a no buy this year. So grateful you recommended her
Me too!
Omg yes, finally a no frills review with no filters in natural lighting! Thank you! Also, you are beautiful! ❤️
I’m so glad you posted this. I tried this foundation about a year ago and hated it (I ended up throwing it away) But I’ve been seeing their ads so much lately I was thinking about trying it out again and now I definitely won’t. 😊
I returned it girl ! My hard earned money they didn’t deserve a penny of it.
@@missjoasia123 I don’t think I tried it right away so I was outside the return window (whatever that was, I can’t remember) but I agree. I certainly would have returned it if I could have! 😊
I have *almost* bought from them. As someone with already dry skin and hormonal breakouts...thank you for saving me time
I keep getting their Ads on Pinterest and they all look so amazed at the colour match!
Thank you for your honest review and humour as always 😘 hope you and baby are doing well ❤️
Thank you for doing us all this service. I’ve been hit with this ad so much is almost embarrassing for the company.
i can relate so hard to the sensitive postpartum eyes girl. it’s the fucking worst.
but also i’m so happy you’re reviewing this so i can get an honest reaction to this foundation. thank you for falling for the fb ads so we didn’t have too. peoples champion.
It matched me perfectly. Great coverage & light as well. No idea how they did it with just a short quiz. I waited 5 min for it to set only
Finally someone does a video on this! I’ve have almost been gotten by the ads as well!!
I know it’s been super hyped up on TikTok but I’m really liking the Charlotte tilbury beautiful skin foundation. I don’t usually go for glowier foundations because I’m oily but with a little powder it’s really smooth and pretty! And it doesn’t break down super patchy and terrible which is a plus
As a revert Muslim you stand by some things I believe in too. You’re such a cool person. You’re so real and stand up for what is truly right. You stand out girl. I really mean this from the bottom of my heart. I stayed subscribed to you. I actually am a revert to Islam. I didn’t grow into the religion but anyway long story short I went on a unfollowing rampage to trash all the junk on UA-cam and Ig. You stayed because your character and conduct is so high you are genuine and sincere. You deserve to flourish and May God increase you mentally,physically, spiritually, and financially. Ameen
(Ps regarding the foundation) I bought this too and I’m not into a lot of things! I bought it and asked for my money back so luckily they did refund me but it was so thick and I use very little foundation. I didn’t like it.
Medina,
Being unfamiliar with anything Muslim or Islam, I went on a search for information. My reason for doing this was your comment to the OP where you said, “your character and conduct is so high.”
Also, your first sentence implies the OP is a revert Muslim and you state you are as well, if I understood you correctly, which was another reason for seeking information.
The article I discovered was titled, “Law of Saying Bad Swear in Islam According to Quran and Hadith.”
It also stated there are “certain rules and law created to protect the purity of Muslims.” It goes on to say, “Every moral filth is prohibited, including saying bad swear and using foul language.”
Also, I must admit that I stopped watching this video at 14:02, so I have no idea what followed. More of the same I would expect.
Perhaps it’s already clear what I’m about to say, however, in those mere 14 minutes, the OP swore (fucking) 26 times. (Yes, I actually took the time to count, lol). Please don’t get me wrong, I’m no prude and I’m not offended at all. I can swear the likes a trucker at times myself.
So, I’d like to ask you this. If you and the OP are revert Muslims who follow the rules and law protecting the purity of Muslims, how is it you can give the OP a compliment that her character and conduct is so high?
I realize this comment is unrelated to the video. However, it is in response to your comment.
Would you be so kind as to help me understand? Thank you.
@Dakota P in short: the same as any other religion. Christianity, agnostic, atheist,- whatever. If you're a good person you're a good person. No one if PERFECT in any religion. She wasn't inferring anything about her being Muslim either. She was talking about unfollowing people due to today's standards and she's not comfortable with their lifestyle therfore she removed herself from that situation. 🤷♀️ whatever the case is.... spread love and kindness friend. 💜 it doesn't matter what color or religion we are as long as we spread positivity.
I tried this foundation a few years ago and the match was perfect. No lie I was shocked. Also the coverage and finish were so good I knew I had found the holy grail. And then came the breakouts. This foundation broke me out so bad when I was working so hard on my clearing my skin beforehand that I sent that shit back as fast as I could.
Girl me too! I wore it for 3 days before I realized what was happening and it took a couple of weeks to clear up the pimple mess they made of my face 😂
I’m still dealing with the rash from this stupid foundation. I returned this ASAP too
Hannah is awesome! I appreciate her influence on the lightest auric glowlust shade. I bought it after she reviewed shade change and it’s perfect for me! Love you both!
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN MY WHOLE UA-cam LIFE? I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M JUST NOW WATCHING ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS FOR THE FIRST TIME. I FREAKING LOVE YOU AND YOUR ENERGY AND I'M SO EXCITED TO WATCH YOUR VIDEOS!! ❤️
Thanks for your review. Now I know for sure I'm never buying this foundation. Edit: Love that you promote Hanna. She's amazing 😍
I have a lot of difficulty matching foundation too. In fact, when the L'oreal product I used for YEARS was dc'd, I failed with matching about 3 times. I was so frustrated that I went to Ulta and said "you've GOT to help me because I truly suck at this" Thankfully that worked out and I now have 2 new foundation products that I love. Lord help me if I have to find something new again! I'll be back to square one, I guess 🙄
I have really light sensitive eyes too and anytime anyone shows the lighting they sit in front of I say a little prayer for their eyeballs.
That foundation reminds me of the way that pink calamine lotion dries down and looks/feels. No thanks!! So glad someone reviewed it that isn’t a biased shill. You look great! Mom life suits you.
Damn, the fact that this makes you feel old is awful, I don’t want a reality check when I put on my foundation! I want to feel delusional about my age and skin because the makeup looks that freaking flawless 😂🤩! I’m a sexy chick not a sad old hag 😩, just throw the whole company away!
This is the best review I’ve ever seen. This is how I’d tell my friends about a product and I love it so much. Super honest, lots of f bombs, it literally doesn’t get better than this. First video I’ve seen of yours and I’m sold. Don’t even know what your regular content is 😂😂
I NEEDED this today. Thank you Queen Sam 💕
This video definitely got interrupted by an il makiage ad
I purchased this foundation a year ago after seeing Mel Thompson use it, and I too couldn’t understand the hype. It’s THICK AF, and no matter what, it looks cakey. And it oxidized slightly on me which I did not appreciate. Also, yes, in addition to drying out my skin, it sucked out my will to live.
I could have saved myself some postage and found some flesh toned putty to smear on my face because that was about the same effect I got with the foundation.
Not to mention it picks up and emphasizes every single line on the face 😖😡🤬
I purchased the foundation with very low expectations since they advertise SO much, but I was SOOO surprised at the color match! Every time I wear it, I get so many compliments and people are amazed at how much it looks like it’s my natural skin! I highly recommend IL Makiage! The one thing you gotta be careful with is their sneaky add-ons. They sent me an eyeliner with my purchase, to try for 14 days. If you don’t return it, it’s like $29. I ended up keeping it since I assumed it was a freebie and was surprised when they charged me. Nevertheless, the foundation is amazing.
I matched with the full coverage version (After Party) and I absolutely ADORE it and their foundation brush. It feels and looks like my skin yet covers any discoloration I have, it's crazy. I am in my 30's and have been pretty lucky about wrinkles but I do suffer from large pores and it seems to look really good on my skin.
I fell for the ad two years ago - LOVE THIS FOUNDATION!! ❤️
Thank you!!! Me too. Although, I chose a different shade then they suggested and it works great. I love the primer with it too.
Smell aside, texture aside, I felt like the first part when you applied could have been part of the ad. It's definitely a good match. Maybe not a great foundation for you, but a good match.
I could exclusively watch reviews like this
God, I got scammed on this one too and I’m so mad that I did. Thought I was just ordering a tiny free sample, next thing I know, my account is charged $112 and then my card got frauded after I ordered this. Then I returned it right away. The concealer was horrible on me and the foundation wasn’t worth it at all compared to my other ones. Such a nightmare experience 😒
TRUTHFULLY my favorite person on UA-cam. I just freaking love you and your energy.
I know this is an older video, but it’s hilarious because this foundation is the first that has *not* made me break out, made my face feel insanely dry and crusty, or looked like shit, and it actually lasted all day and definitely didn’t smell compared to any other foundation I’ve ever tried. And the foundations I’ve tried are from the cheap to expensive, so it’s not like I’ve only ever had dollar store products 🤣 Just funny and crazy how skin varies so much.
First Samantha video I’ve seen and I’m hooked. She’s so real. Thanks girl ❤
I’ve seen these ads so often, I was defining going to buy it soon so thank god you made this video. Also, so proud of Hannah Louise Poston for begging a shout out! She’s so bomb, definitely check out her channel.
What shade are you wearing?
I’m SO glad you posted this!! I too was so tempted by the facebook ads, and as I have similarly texted skin to you, I’m fairly sure it wouldn’t have looked good on me. You’re doing us all a service x
I don't think it looked bad on her at all. What looked bad is the bronzer
What color were you matched to ? I’ve not seen or heard it mentioned !?
I had such a love-hate relationship with this foundation at first (now I don't like it), the shade match was good until it heavily oxidized & it also felt so heavy! Also the return policy has so many loopholes.... needless to say I got screwed on that.
Yes I agree! This one oxidized and ends up looking darker than the initial match
What shade was that? I think I missed it.
I appreciate your review. I've been wondering about this foundation since their ads make it seem like the best thing ever. Now I know it's not.
I'm 57 and I don't expect miracles but this foundation made me look much older. It made my skin look dry and settled into ever fine line. There are so many better foundations that I will never by this one again.
I don’t know why but this video started out really negative
I have very very dry and sensitive skin, it’s so difficult to find formulas that work with both problems and don’t make me look old. I really appreciate your honest reviews and discussing the reality of skin in addition to how makeup reacts.
Textured skin is a different world for the makeup industry
it's like an entirely different language on your skin
make up look so different on us and the rules that apply to normal skin donor applied to us
it's like for textured skin you're basically throwing expensive dust in our face
and calling it A-day
it doesn't make us look any better sometimes it can even make us look worse
It matched at first then it oxidized and got darker, what a bummer
edit: Hannah Louis Poston!! uh I recently found her and I love her, her style and content so much!! btw! I found out about entice - SAM IT IS A MASTERPIECE! thank you. If anyone could get it right- it's you, damn! uhhh it's what olive dreams are made of!! thank you, Sam
Sam we know you’re not about the party all night and day lifestyle but you are accidentally doing a great impression of a blasted person who is trying to get through a meeting. Hope your eyeballs feel better soon and your circle of loved ones is doing well!
Sam I am BEGGING you to do a euphoria inspired makeup look ♥️😩
I tried it, and hated it! The scent was overwhelming, and it was so thick, I couldn't stand it (and the shade i matched with was way too yellow). But I'll give them credit- the customer service was amazing.
I honestly got so annoyed by the incessant ads that I vowed to never buy it. Thanks for confirming my suspicions
Thank you for taking one for the team...I will avoid like the plague as my crusty ass face doesn't need to look drier then it already does! I hope you eye sensitivity goes soon for you, I get it around my migraines & it hurts!
I really appreciate that you will still say that something is not cruelty free and that you still try to use those things up.
“Very much the age where I can have a baby” - you’re not even 29! My 40 year old ass is sitting here watching this video like…. You’re good, girl. 😂
48 and I was thinking the same thing!
The cream foundation from Suqqu is gloriously luminous, divine and worth every bit of that hefty pricetag 👌🏼🙌🏼
I agree that il Makiage Facebook ads are insane.
(Also!) I soak my face with a damp facecloth for 3-4 mins then gently remove the dry healed skin around my “dead” acne. It makes my face 90% less patchy when I do that. The dead skin comes right off and doesn’t tear at any (progressive) scabs that are still covering a hole. I found that it heals (or looks like it) so much faster because I keep my face moist. (I get your face may be oily, but having that cloth bring up all that crap and then being able to clean it up a bit can make you feel a lot better about yourself (if you do feel any kind of Uhg)
You have a really infectious smile, and your bumps do not take away from your beauty.
I would seriously watch you do your makeup in the dark so look after your eyes and dong worry about the lighting! Hope you’re feeling better soon xxx
the instagram ads are the craziest for me. they are EVERYWHERE on instagram!!!
I would love to see you try The Foundation Stick from Basma Beauty! Canadian-owned, 40 shades, and a really cool story behind the brand. I also am curious to see how good it is because a stick seems more convenient travel-wise!
I bought this foundation at the beginning of the pandemic and at the time I didn’t care for it, didn’t think the shade matched perfectly and just didn’t use it again. I recently pulled it out of the drawer and used such a significantly smaller amount, and even though my skin has been so dry as of late, it looked so much better! I have redness in my skin but overall minimal texture. I’d say this foundation is drying, absolutely. Maybe try a smaller amount and apply it with your fingers and final blend with a sponge?
