    Friends, I have a couple of notes about the close-up application footage in this video:
    1. When I filmed this footage, I had freshly applied the new Rèphr hydration cream (bit.ly/3i9fT5E) and it leaves a very glassy, dewy complexion which translates to whatever you wear over it. These balm and cream foundations are certainly dewy, and the footage is true to life, but please note that my skin looks extra glassy and wet because of how I primed on that day.
    2. In the application footage for this video, I applied the Salt New York Sneaky Balm in shade 12 without mixing it with the white shade adjuster. I think you can see this in the footage but I just wanted to clarify. When I use it in daily life, I always mix it with the white Salt New York shade adjuster (about equal parts balm and adjuster), but I wanted you to see the unadulterated finish.
    Thank you for watching!

    • @erinodonnell386

      One thing to keep in mind with that kind of calculation is how much of a particular product you will likely use before it goes bad. The Blunder Cover is huge. I could see a world where I would use up the sneaky balm before it went bad but the blunder cover, there’s just no way, not with how I personally choose to apply my makeup. Just need to be realistic with how much and how often you will actually use a product when deciding on a purchase.

    Do I wear anything other than powder foundation? Nope, not really. But I'm still here for it. The way you break down products is really helpful for me when I feel the need of having something new to pick me up - to look at the pros/ cons and find reasoning. I just bought my first product since Black Friday, and the process of getting there was kinda weird and unsettling, but also helpful. How often I caught myself window shopping online because there was a sale is unreal. But the way I now start to look at and use my collection is weirdly satisfying. A lot of that is thanks to you. I don't have anything to add to balm foundations but I'm here for your expertise. Maybe I'll need it one day and in-depth products reviews are nonetheless really interesting. 😃

      Update: I got the blunder cover about a month ago. The shade eins is a much better match for me than 00, lighter and less peachy. The blunder cover is less melty than un-coverup. At first I thought that it might be drying, especially under my eyes, but that's not the case. Plus it means that it is much more buildable. I use it as my all in one base product now, from under eye concealer to overall base product to spot concealer. I use it mostly with my fingers, but it also works well with a buffing brush.

      I've done some research on this foundation because I was confused how it was leaping bunny certified when it is a collaboration with Olay, a brand that is not cruelty free. According to Crueltyfreekitty Covergirl does remain cruelty free despite this colab, but by buying the simply ageless line we are telling them it is ok to collaborate with brands that test on animals when we should be encouraging them away from those brands. Personally, I'm not sure how to feel, I think I would feel a twinge of guilt for buying it, but I also still respect Covergirl for making the switch to cruelty free and have no problem with any other product they make on their own.

Especially when understanding oil products vs water based products or contouring(how shadow and light work) or color theory, I feel like i learned WAY more helpful information for doing makeup in painting classes than thru any brand education around their products or even most "beauty gurus". Also, I've been using the glossier stretch concealer as my foundation for about two months and it's SO NICE and is exactly what i was imagining "balm foundation" to be. A little goes a long way and the pigment really acts like high quality oil paint. *art nerd chef's kiss*

I also wear the lightest shade and it gives me what I wanted out of Glossier Stretch Concealer for all over the face. Stila has their own version of a balm foundation but it’s marketed as a skin tint. It comes in a compact and totally flew under the radar (as Stila often does) but the shade range is limiting.

    These are right up my alley! Love the entire concept. Concerning the lint because I’ve had that issue with some products as well, I know it’s an extra step and you’ve probably already thought about it but scraping a bit out with a palette knife is the way to go! I have a tiny porcelain plate that might have been part of an old doll tea set that I use for blending products (like blue into my foundation because I am also very green), or scraping something into that I then go in with my brush. Because my brushes are also not the cleanest all the time 😅 and I don’t wanna transfer bacteria into the products

    Thank you for featuring these foundations, and explaining the pros and cons of each - and adding a comment about using the Rephr moisturizer as a primer. I am one of the few who likes the Kevyn Aucoin balm foundation, although it is finicky to apply. I am very curious about the Kett foundation and I hope you will do a full review at some point. Thanks again!

    Yes! I've been using the Glossier stretch concealer as foundation for a while and loving it. I always felt like I was missing something when people are so excited about liquid foundations but you explaining the art-supply like control you like from balm foundations totally makes sense. I feel very validated in my opinions.

    Im not on the market for a new foundation but the way that hannah is describing the experience of wearing a balms, and the idea of a glossier stretch-like base product is speaking to me on levels I never thought possible! I have definitely used glossier stretch and my nars concealer as almost-foundation products, and its so satisfying to watch hannah apply these products. This is especially interesting to me because I have quite oily skin (though I try to mitigate the greasiness with high-linoleic acid oils), and I’ve never even considered balm products… I’ll continue to pan my nars concealer and my little ordinary serum foundation, but I will be following the careers of these balms with Great Interest

    These exact videos are perfect to make a fully informed decision. I have a similar skin shade to you, although less olive toned, and I have relatively dry skin so I lean towards dewier products. I bought the Monica Blender foundation and I think it is my favourite foundation ever so far, I'm totally in love. I revisited this video after applying it today and I am glad I didn't order the sneaky balm as I'm not sure it would have suited my needs. Thank you so much for this!

    Thank you, your undertones video was a lightbulb moment for me. I am a very little bit darker and love the purito and it's gray tone has been my favorite in color being almost perfect but it has irritated my eyes so the hunt had continued. After watching your video and going and watching those from Justine and Merriam looking at the olive fair foundations has been a revelation and while I've not found the perfect formula, I've found that the shades fair olives when tested are spot on and have received more compliments then I ever recall receiving.

    The kvd good apple balm is actually AMAZING for dry skin like dry ass skin lol you need to use a damp sponge with literally the smallest amount, then go smaller lol but also a duo fiber brush works wonders! I can use brushes at all but the real techniques light duo fiber/stippling brush is a god send for that balm foundation.

    • @sweetyft
      @sweetyft 2 роки тому +2

      I’d be really curious to know how it compares to any of the balm foundations mentioned in this video.
      I really prefer minimal coverage so I am more tempted by the Sneaky Balm but I cannot get behind the fact that there’s no case option for the pan besides the bigger 4 pan palette.

    • @elleywest8779
      @elleywest8779 2 роки тому +3

      Is it really ok for dry dry skin? Most other foundations cling to dry patches I never even knew I had. But you've had success with a the KVD balm? It appeals to me because they do proper pale shades

    This makes me SO EXCITED. I love the lightest shade of the Rose Inc. concealer (which I bought on your recommendation!)-undertone wise it is literally perfect for me, but it is too light for me to use all over my face. I usually mix it with other concealers that are a little too dark and a little too peach or pink on me, and it works perfectly to neutralize and brighten them. It seems like your undertones are the same as mine, but your skin is about a shade fairer than mine; I have been looking for the perfect shade of a base product that will match me like the lightest Rose Inc. concealer matches you. The N12 Sneaky Balm will probably fit the bill! 🤩

    These formulas are along the line of my RCMA foundation that I love. It just works however I need it. I love the 5 tone palettes that are so easy to travel with and can adapt with the changing of the seasons to make my exact shade at any time. I use the KA color version, which would very likely be the tone that would suit you as well.

You articulated it perfectly.

    I like balms for the same reason you like them, even though I have oily skin in summer. There's a drugstore one I like: L'oreal 4 in 1 Tinted Balm. However, the palest color in that one is not super pale, which is to say that it is too dark for me unless I use it with a really pale concealer and a brightening powder. I haven't tried Sneaky Balm yet because I am waiting on the paler one. BTW, the Purito balm comes in 2 lighter shades now- a 13 and a 15. I love the Purito, too.
