I will never understand why people can't just take the information content creators provide in their reviews and just apply it to themselves and their preferences without getting upset that someone doesnt have the same skin or preferences that they do.
I like the way this one looked on your cheeks, nose, and chin. Kind of a blurring affect. B+ was a good call. Looked much better than the Chanel water tint you reviewed, which was a B. Thanks Shelly!
Today is my first day wearing it. It's pretty, but it seems a little drying. I'm 59 and my skin can feel dehydrated - usually skincare helps with that. I'll keep trying though - because $70 lol.
I turn 59 on April 1st (no, not kidding) and though I treat myself to something I consider higher end for my birthday, $70 is a little too rich, especially if it’s not going to be moisturizing and plumping.
Thank you for reviewing this product. I totally agree your assessment. Try a week later after your BHA /PHA exfoliate treatment has past and see if your face is less dehydrated to apply this foundation. I had a similar outcome. I waited and applied the foundation with a brush and a damp sponge and I have to say, it looked more hydrated.
I have foundations that have foundations that plump my skin (LYS Triple Fix) and foundations that suck the like out of it (Estee Lauder Double Wear). No foundation is one-size-fits-all. WIn addition, we can have a well-tailored skin care routine, but factors like weather, hormones, hydration, and stress can effect our skin in ways that are beyond our control.
I love this foundation! Along with the MUFE new HD skin it's my top 2. I have normal to dry skin and somehow it is very hydrating on me all day long! My skin really likes the oil in it. And the finish is perfection on me, I actually can't see it on my skin at all but it makes my skin look better, more even and smooth. It's completely invisible on me. I apply it with a brush and go over it with a sponge after, which is my normal foundation application method for the best finish for my skin. I have had many foundations cling to dry patches, but for some reason this one is not one of them and it goes over dry spots and hides them for me. I also have a very thorough skincare routine, so I guess if a foundation is too hydrating it just slips off of my skin. I guess we are all different! For me this one is perfect.
I'm not even here for the review. For whatever reason, you hadn't popped up in my feed for a bit so I just clicked to hear you talk! Can I tell you something? You have such a kind heart. I aspire to speak and articulate the way you do. It's just so...KIND. Maybe I just need a hug, who knows. Thanks Shelly! ❤
💜 thank you, Andrea!! One of my tattoos says, "Do no harm." I heard it once on a medical show and I'm no doctor but it just hit me as such a simple way to sum up what I aspire to. If you spent any time around my 3 cats, you'd regularly hear me scolding them to "Be NICE!" when they're going after each other 😹 ahhh if it was only that simple!
@@goow that is the perfect tattoo for you! And I love kitties. My mom has 2 kittens, brother and sister. I swear sometimes it looks like they're doing kitty jiu-jitsu to eachother but she says to just leave them be. That's how they play. It takes all my strength to respect her wishes bc the mother in me aka referee(I have 11 yr old twin boys) just wants to break it up! 🙀
I was tempted to try this, had samples of the corresponding skincare, the cream and serum. Neither of those provided enough hydration for my skin, and the fragrance was not my jam. I do appreciate you sharing your experience wearing it, didn't look bad to me, and I've seen you test a lot. 💜
Thanks, Beverly!! I fear my skin care videos are soon to be broken records because I finally feel like I've got things pretty well dialed in! (Only took 6 years of trying everything out there!) lol
We are shade twins, so lucky for me I always have your review to help me shade match when buying online. 💜 I have combo skin though and this one is ah-mazing on my face! I love the Bobbi Brown and new Nars ones as well, but I always can't wait to get back to this one!
Before you zoomed in the foundation looked absolutely stunning. I wonder if this would be better suited in Spring & Summer once it’s warmer? From a conversational distance it looks beautiful. BTW the hair looks fantastic!
Thanks, Nadeen! I suspect I will like it more in the summer. I'm approaching the brief moment of every year when I can almost claim that my skin is normal instead of dry 😂 almost.
Nice review! Sad to see that Chanel has yet another product that it’s not great and they charge a lot of $$$$. I bought the Nars foundation you recently reviewed and it is amazing!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Shelley, I have very dry skin and I found that the magic cream didn’t do well as a primer under this foundation for whatever reason. It looks amazing on the Tatcha Silk Canvas (I only have the solid so not sure if the liquid would perform the same). I press the silk canvas almost like I am sticking down the flakes and it fills the texture around my nose. I then apply 2 thin coats of the foundation and go over it with a damp sponge pressing it in, not swiping. It lifts just enough of any excess foundation that tends to sit on top of my skin without melting in. Will I repurchase? No, (and I love Chanel) because although it looks amazing after that application, I honestly can get the same or more coverage with my Misha BB Cream (Shade 21 just like you are) with a lot less work and ladies it is around $10 on Amazon!!! If they ever discontinue it, I swear I will just stop wearing makeup, show up at their corporate offices and scar people for life with this dry 57 year old face 😂 Thanks for your reviews, I can always wait for them and know not only what works, but what my perfect shade is! Edit: I get dry patches all over my skin (face and body) from being from the “tan until you die using a baby oil and iodine mixture and reflective aluminum foil on your lounge chair” generation so I know there are a lot of dewy foundations that stick those edges down! This is NOT one of them for my skin. I have to prep really well concentrating on the patches with the silk canvas technique I described and for the record, I have a very good skin care routine, it is just those patches that I am lucky enough aren’t cancerous that I deal with and no amount of skin care fixes them. They will peel off then reappear in the same spots.
Thank you for another amazing foundation review! I was so hoping this Chanel foundation would get an A+ and be phenomenal for it to cost 70 dollars. From a conversational distance, I think it looks beautiful but anything drying like that is a hard pass for me. I recently purchased the Makeup Forever foundation, the Shiseido foundation as well as the new Physician's Formula butter foundation. I'll be honest, the Physician's Formula drug store foundation is amazing! I am blown away at how well it covers and how smooth it looks on my skin. It camouflages pores like a champ and hasn't settled into any micro lines on my face. I'm highly impressed! I used a sponge to apply and it just pressed and melted into my skin. Just can't get over that it performs better than the high end foundations that I've recently tested. Thank you for sharing your findings with the Chanel foundation. BTW, I think your nails look fine🙂
Thanks, Shelley, I was really looking for your review. One beauty vlogger I follow said that this foundation feels exactly the same as the Pat McGrath one, so if you have the latter, no need for the Chanel, which is in fact more expensive because the PMG contains a lot more and is often discounted. In fact I got the PMG last year with a 25% discount.
Ooooh interesting and I have to agree with that! The PMG scored a tiny bit higher for me, 93 A- and yep... I don't think anybody would need both. Very similar.
Thank you so much for saving me 70 bucks. I was seriously thinking of getting this one, but I think that would have been a mistake. My skin is similar to yours. Its a no for me. Thanks Shelly🥰
Did you ever try the ELF Camo Powder foundation? Or anything L'Oreal or Maybelline??! Also, idk if you do Wet N Wild, but I'd love to see you try the Incognito concealer and foundation (? Idk if they have a foundation named that). I love drugstore makeup, sooo, anything drugstore that is at least medium coverage would be appreciated. Thanks sweetie!! xo Stephanie in Kentucky 🥰😘😍
Hey Stephanie! I love the WnW Incognito concealer and the Tinted Hydrator! The L'Oreal Age Perfect in the tube is another one of my favorites, and I have great luck with the L'Oreal True Match Nude as well. I won't likely try the Elf powder only because most powders don't work on me as foundation (my skin is too dehydrated) so I'd be setting it up for failure.
What can I say....some people you just *cannot* please!! Just put them out of your mind (if u can). 😉 We come here for *YOUR REVIEW* on the product in the title, not for *their snide, useless* remarks! 💯💋❤️ I just Love you *AND* your channel is so helpful. Thank you so very much for all that you do ....and that includes rebuffing the nonsense!! 🐰💘🦄 xo Stephanie in Kentucky 🥰😘😍
Thank you for the review. I am using this foundation and really really like it on my mature skin. So far anyway. And let me just say the Clarins Eye lift cream is the Bomb you are so right! I enjoy it so much and have run out. Have to get more. It's one of the only eye creams that has made both my darkness, dry under eye look good without concealor, as you mentioned. I have wrinkles so unfortunately concealer too is touch and go. The Kosas so far is my fav for concealor. Thanks again my friend oh, love the hair color on you.
Yes! Dry mature (59) skin that dehydrates easily. Also using Tretinoin and don't shave daily, so There Will Be Flakes! Yes, the ones that cling make my skin look way worse, flakey and/or more alligator-ish than if I wore nothing. But I'd sure like to be able to even out redness w natural finish nonetheless. Thanks for representing!
Hi Doris! I've got a few roundups of favorite drugstore, favorite high end, favorite dewy, etc, but I could definitely stand to make an updated one! =D
Hola 🤩. Geez have I been waiting for your review on this foundation 🙇🏻♀️💅🏼 I’m 57 and well ya know… So, B Brown’s is now gone up higher on my list. Request: I would love for you to review your favorite color/spot correcting products with a recent recent fave foundation-For those days when there’s zero energy for full face foundation and the mirror shouts 🧟♀️ but want to feel pretty.
It's so worth it. It's pretty rare that anything hits me so drastically but it just worked and worked well from day 1. I wish I could tell how much was left in my bottle because I think it's getting low and I don't want to be without it. I use it twice a day almost every day (sometimes I'll switch it up for something else but most days, it's the Clarins morning and night).
@@goow Yeah, I can't say that I've ever noticed a *drastic* difference from any of my skincare, but my under eyes have just recently started to bother me, so I was looking for something. Thanks for the rec! And ugh, I hate when you can't see how much you have left!
It’s a beautiful color match on you. I really like it on you. I did buy this and I use it daily. But, I’m not going to repurchase this. It’s great but not great enough to repurchase. :). I have repurchase the Bobbi Brown serum foundation. Thanks for another great review.
I commented the other day so you may have seen these requested already, but I’d love it if you reviewed the new Dior Glow, Suqqu, and MUFE formula. Thanks! I love your reviews! 🥰
I've got the MUFE on deck, and now I need to check because I think I ordered the Dior Glow but now I can't remember (I definitely will if I didn't, because I have great luck with Dior foundations). Added Suqqu to my list!
Hey Shelly! Had to let you know that I finally broke down and got the Missha #21 and its my new favorite. Every time i see your arm swatch, I knew I had to try . Turns out its the perfect shade match. and its perfection. and not just in color match, it just looks so good on my 50+ skin. Thanks for turning me on to it.
I'm so glad, Tamara! It's such a rare undertone (the CYO Lifeproof 101 was almost identical before it was discontinue) and it's as close to a perfect match as I've ever had. If I didn't review foundations as my obsession, I'd probably roll regularly with the Missha and call it done.
Well said. You made perfect sense. I've seen you wear foundations over peeling skin where the peeling vanished afterwards. This one looks so good on you. It's a serious price though. I saw someone use the Dior cushion foundation the other day. $82 for the compact and two half ounce cartridges. I presume they sell the cartridges separate. Saw another youtuber buy one of those cartridges on amazon and she dispensed a foundation that she liked into it and she said it just made it better. I couldn't pay those high prices for a foundation though.
It's tough to pay premium prices when so many inexpensive foundations are performing so well these days! Those cushions always have such a high price per ounce that I cringe.
Yes, people may be putting on a bit too much retin a or acids but because the hot and flashy channel is their religion, they will never admit that. Which works well for foundation makers, the more you ‘try’ the more you buy.
Thank you Shelley!! Thank you for saving me some coin lol!! I really thought this might be “the one” but I’m very content with the new Nars at almost half the price. I’d be curious to see if your thoughts change in the summer heat tho. Even if they do, it seems a bit finicky at that price point. Idk maybe it’s just me but for $70 it better go on like liquid gold lol. Thanks again!! Have a great week and Happy St Pats!☘️
Gosh the new Nars is so gorgeous!!! I suspect I will like the Chanel more in the summer. But I'm right there with you - at the $70 price point I should be able to wear it 24/7/365!
Thank you for your review! When I am not flaking/peeling I absolutely love this foundation on my dry skin. Doesn't settle and lasts all day. We are all so different and that's ok!! Ok so next request, can you review Seint? I have $220 worth of products sitting in my cart but I said self, 'Ask Shelly first!'
@@patmartin3233 I haven't watched her review yet, but I will! I know it's an MLM but they don't recruit people. I'm just interested in their products. There aren't many non-artist, mature, dry skin review and wear tests that I have been able to find. LisaLisa wore it but no wear test/review on it.
They make it look so easy and wearable. I’m not sure it’s Mrs Melissa?? I thought I saw her but it’s been a bit. I’m going to keep checking into it.. good luck!! 🥰
Like most brands, Chanel has some products which I adore and don't mind paying a premium to own and enjoy; however, I've never gotten on well with their foundations. Doesn't look like this one would suit me, soooo... $$ saved. Thank you. :)
I just tried this foundation and on everybody else it is so hydrating and plumping but for some reason it done the exact same thing to my face I don't understand what I've done wrong but I cannot wear this foundation at all I have it on right now I've seen other videos of people with like true it made their skin like an oily but my no it is so drying to my skin Thank you you always give wonderful reviews I knew I had to come and see your video to find out what was wrong with my skin we have the exact same color everything Thank you again
Omg Shelly idk what made me randomly think of you but I was like man I haven’t seen a video of hers in a while so I looked you up and I was unsubscribed! Grr. Gotta binge all the content I missed now! 💖😘
I agree with you 100% on this guy! I wish you would review Chanel Vitalumiere original. I’m 49 and also dry/mature skin and that has been my holy grail for 20 years, curious to know your thoughts and how it compares to your holy grails as I tend to be right in line with your options ☺️
@@goow not this one, it’s the Vitalumiere… been around a long time, I purchase at Nordstroms. I must say I do love you videos! You are a joy to watch 😊
Hi Shelly, I understand the issue with having iffy skin issues from time to time, we all have those days. I do think you have used nicer foundations that make your skin look a lot nicer than this one has so am interested to see you re-try it when your skin has calmed down a bit. For the price though, this stuff better make my coffee and clean my toilet for me because in New Zealand (although we can't get it here yet) we would be looking at somewhere around NZD120-150 for this and for comparison, the Estee Lauder Double Wear is NZD77.
I love misha 21 but it breaks me out on my chin I love the finish the cover I still use it on a night out knowing I will have a coupe of spots on my chin next day
Well the shade is spot on. Some foundations, no matter the claims, are drying on the skin. Frustrating. 🤨 I wonder if the fragrance in the Chanel makeup is adding to the dryness going on?
Hi Shelly I am new to your channel & love your reviews! Thanks you’re such a help since I also have dry skin. What was the Clarins serum that helped with undereye darkness? I struggle with that & interested in trying it. Thank you, till next time!! Enjoy your day!
Hi Shelly. You've been missed! I have to agree with you about every skin type should be able to wear a foundation. I have flakey skin as well (from Tretinoin and acids), and it's always around my mouth and chin area that becomes the most flakey. Some foundations work great, others, not so much. I like the Chanel foundation on you. It looks like it wore well throughout the day. Nice color match. $70 is a bit out of my price range, considering right now I'm having a ball buying clothes and accessories for my grandson! ❤💙👶
@@goow Apologies, Shelley, I had brain fog. I realised straight after that I had already seen and even commented on your Nars review. There has been a huge influx of new students at my uni, I have been running around like a headless chicken.
New subscriber here🙂. I was wondering have you tried “dior capture totale foundation” ? I keep hearing great things because it’s one of those skin care/ foundation deals, but I’m nervous to try it cuz of the cost. It’s suppose to be great anti-aging makeup.
Welcome, Stephanie! I haven't tried that one yet but I need to catch up on some Dior because I have great luck with their foundations overall. Forever Skin Glow is one of my holy grails, and their face and body version is probably my top favorite matte foundation.
Shelley, if you still purchase from Beauty Pie, you have GOT to try the new Happy Face Cica (Rawr) Moisture Cream. It is awesome. It's a gel like cream, but it feels so nice. Almost like a primer, but I don't know if it makes makeup last any longer. I know you love Cica! RAWR 🤣
The tufted titmouse is my favorite bird. I love watching them raise and lower their little crests. ☺️ My skin literally cracks. Only a handful of foundations will sit nicely on it. So I get ya. 👍
Hi there! My name is Jeanette and I'm from Sweden. I'm searching for Bobbi Browns miracle balm and we donat have it in Sweden. I wonder if you know a US web site where I can get it? I just love your videos and content🌹
Hi Jeanette! Here I would get it from Bobbi Brown's new brand site, Jones Road, but it looks like they currently only ship to the US, Canada, and the UK - jonesroadbeauty.com/
Hi Shelly, great review (im a little late!) I was just wondering if this shade is lighter than the Guerlain Terracotta le teint in 2C (which i think is your shade in that). I have 2C and its a tiny bit both dar and a tiny bit too pink for me and wondering how this compares shade wise. Thank you
This shade is about the same lightness to darkness and I'd say the Guerlain is a smidge more pink, so if the Guerlain is a little too pink for you, the Chanel is probably a better match.
Love love love you and your videos!! Other than the Bobbi brown, do you have a more affordable foundation that comes to mind that also helps rehydrate flaky skin, or, just works for those with flaky skin?
Yep what Kim said - the L'Oreal True Match Nude is awesome. I have to mix 2 shades to get a match but it's one of the rare foundations that I'll say is worth it.
Thank you both! I actually have the Loreal and like it! But, oddly enough because I’m oily, I feel it dries me out. My skin doesn’t love hyaluronic acid, but not sure that there’s enough in this to matter. I’ll keep trying it with different moisturizing products underneath.
@@goow Ayyy boo boo, you're the best! Lol I had to quote you on that one. Thanks so much, Shelly! Please know that your videos are a bright light needed by your viewers, like me, who need to hit the "refresh" button and to temporarily tune out the noise and chaos of our world.
I got it from Ulta. I prefer Ulta's rewards system so I buy there whenever I can (and I was shocked that they started carrying Chanel! I feel like they've been getting more prestige brands lately).
I love it, sorry you didn't :( I find it has a beautiful satin hydrating finish on my skin. Lasts all day, and works well with just a light moisturiser underneath, it works for me best with my sigma F80 brush, not fingers. Its a thumbs up from me! :-) :-)
Shame it's not more hydrating, the finish is really pretty, gave you a blurred, velvety, faintly glowing appearance - I was surprised how much I liked the look of it, given how low the coverage is.
I can not use foundation with fragrance. Why would this company continue to use a high fragrance . Do they know it's almost 2023. Most people don't want fragrance. .
I wouldn't wear this - it's $70. and it's heavily fragranced (not cruelty-free). I read reviews in about 4 sites, and Many said the fragrance Never dissipates - it made me throw out a bottle of No5 I've never liked - so it helped me declutter! Always look at the bright side eh? LOL I'm gonna check Jenny, and Yes Taylor's the Best at foundation!
Return, return, this foundation dried out my 50yr old skin. I had to use an oil treatment i also have dry skin. You have reviewed less expensive foundations with better skin properties.🤔🤔
I just tried the Danessa Myricks Yummy skin. Its so good! But you have to use so very , very tiny amount. I can't waste my time with this product because the fragrance will destroy me. Sighhhhhhhh.
Ooof for that much money I expect better...especially with the claims. And I don't understand why the fragrance in skincare or makeup on "luxury" brands, it just means those like me with sensitive noses won't go near it 🤷
This is my 3rd Chanel foundation and they've all been "meh" on me. Not bad, but not something I'd reach for regularly. It's kind of a bummer because I know many people have found their holy grails in Chanel. Not me...
I will never understand why people can't just take the information content creators provide in their reviews and just apply it to themselves and their preferences without getting upset that someone doesnt have the same skin or preferences that they do.
Me either! Some morons just have to *say something* ALWAYS! SMH .... 🥴🌮✔️
Shelly, I am 55 , i have super dry skin but it works amazing on me which is why it's important to understand everyone is different.
I'm glad it works for you, Maria! I speak only of my own experiences. Body chemistry is a fascinating thing!
@@goow Amen sister I've been going through pre and menopause for 15 years . Unreal
I’m so glad I watched this before I spent 70 dollars. There are so many better foundations for dry skin. Thank you!
I like the way this one looked on your cheeks, nose, and chin. Kind of a blurring affect. B+ was a good call. Looked much better than the Chanel water tint you reviewed, which was a B. Thanks Shelly!

It was dry and cakey on me as well, and I even used a glow primer. I think camellia oil broke me out. Next!😆

At that price I would definitely need a sample before buying it. Our skin is similar. Great review!
Yup! $70 is too rich to experiment with.

I absolutely love the hair! The cut and color looks beautiful on you!
The birds! 😆
Great video, love watching your reviews!
Wow it looks really good. I once tried a luminous spray, nothing glows on me but powders. holy grail is Estee
Hey Shelly! I don't usually comment but I must say your skin is really looking good. It's paying off!
Thanks, Beverly!! I fear my skin care videos are soon to be broken records because I finally feel like I've got things pretty well dialed in! (Only took 6 years of trying everything out there!) lol
You have beautiful skin! Thanks for all the work you do for us dry friends #relatable
The Chanel looks really nice on your skin. Good color match. I am now curious about the Clarins eye cream you mentioned

Thanks for the review!
I suspect I will like it more in the summer, so there is definitely hope, Marielle! Let me know how you like it!
Thanks, Shelley, I was really looking for your review. One beauty vlogger I follow said that this foundation feels exactly the same as the Pat McGrath one, so if you have the latter, no need for the Chanel, which is in fact more expensive because the PMG contains a lot more and is often discounted. In fact I got the PMG last year with a 25% discount.
Ooooh interesting and I have to agree with that! The PMG scored a tiny bit higher for me, 93 A- and yep... I don't think anybody would need both. Very similar.
Thank you so much for saving me 70 bucks. I was seriously thinking of getting this one, but I think that would have been a mistake. My skin is similar to yours. Its a no for me. Thanks Shelly🥰
Did you ever try the ELF Camo Powder foundation? Or anything L'Oreal or Maybelline??! Also, idk if you do Wet N Wild, but I'd love to see you try the Incognito concealer and foundation (? Idk if they have a foundation named that). I love drugstore makeup, sooo, anything drugstore that is at least medium coverage would be appreciated. Thanks sweetie!!
xo Stephanie in Kentucky 🥰😘😍
Hey Stephanie! I love the WnW Incognito concealer and the Tinted Hydrator! The L'Oreal Age Perfect in the tube is another one of my favorites, and I have great luck with the L'Oreal True Match Nude as well. I won't likely try the Elf powder only because most powders don't work on me as foundation (my skin is too dehydrated) so I'd be setting it up for failure.
What can I say....some people you just *cannot* please!! Just put them out of your mind (if u can). 😉 We come here for *YOUR REVIEW* on the product in the title, not for *their snide, useless* remarks! 💯💋❤️
I just Love you *AND* your channel is so helpful. Thank you so very much for all that you do ....and that includes rebuffing the nonsense!! 🐰💘🦄
xo Stephanie in Kentucky 🥰😘😍
Thank you for the review. I am using this foundation and really really like it on my mature skin. So far anyway. And let me just say the Clarins Eye lift cream is the Bomb you are so right! I enjoy it so much and have run out. Have to get more. It's one of the only eye creams that has made both my darkness, dry under eye look good without concealor, as you mentioned. I have wrinkles so unfortunately concealer too is touch and go. The Kosas so far is my fav for concealor. Thanks again my friend oh, love the hair color on you.
Yes! Dry mature (59) skin that dehydrates easily. Also using Tretinoin and don't shave daily, so There Will Be Flakes! Yes, the ones that cling make my skin look way worse, flakey and/or more alligator-ish than if I wore nothing. But I'd sure like to be able to even out redness w natural finish nonetheless. Thanks for representing!
You should do A video on your five favourite foundations 🤩💞😉
Hi Doris! I've got a few roundups of favorite drugstore, favorite high end, favorite dewy, etc, but I could definitely stand to make an updated one! =D
It looks good on you. Also…ur eyes are so pretty. 😃
It’s the same price as my beloved, holy grail Lisa Eldridge foundation..hmmm 🤨🤔. Thanks so much for your thorough and helpful review!! 🙂😎😁😊
Thanks so much for the review! Truly, thanks - thanks - thanks!
Hola 🤩. Geez have I been waiting for your review on this foundation 🙇🏻♀️💅🏼 I’m 57 and well ya know… So, B Brown’s is now gone up higher on my list. Request: I would love for you to review your favorite color/spot correcting products with a recent recent fave foundation-For those days when there’s zero energy for full face foundation and the mirror shouts 🧟♀️ but want to feel pretty.
Thanks for this review. I’m waiting for your opinion on this foundation.
Runs to buy that Clarins eye cream 👀
It's so worth it. It's pretty rare that anything hits me so drastically but it just worked and worked well from day 1. I wish I could tell how much was left in my bottle because I think it's getting low and I don't want to be without it. I use it twice a day almost every day (sometimes I'll switch it up for something else but most days, it's the Clarins morning and night).
@@goow Yeah, I can't say that I've ever noticed a *drastic* difference from any of my skincare, but my under eyes have just recently started to bother me, so I was looking for something. Thanks for the rec! And ugh, I hate when you can't see how much you have left!
Great review and I love your earrings! Thanks.
It’s a beautiful color match on you. I really like it on you. I did buy this and I use it daily. But, I’m not going to repurchase this. It’s great but not great enough to repurchase. :). I have repurchase the Bobbi Brown serum foundation. Thanks for another great review.
Im liking the Wet and Wild 5.99 hydrate ....the bomb
I bought 3 more tubes of the WnW out of fear it will vanish lol
I commented the other day so you may have seen these requested already, but I’d love it if you reviewed the new Dior Glow, Suqqu, and MUFE formula. Thanks! I love your reviews! 🥰
I've got the MUFE on deck, and now I need to check because I think I ordered the Dior Glow but now I can't remember (I definitely will if I didn't, because I have great luck with Dior foundations). Added Suqqu to my list!
Hey Shelly! Had to let you know that I finally broke down and got the Missha #21 and its my new favorite. Every time i see your arm swatch, I knew I had to try . Turns out its the perfect shade match. and its perfection. and not just in color match, it just looks so good on my 50+ skin. Thanks for turning me on to it.
It’s my holy grail. I suggest it to everyone. ☺️
I'm so glad, Tamara! It's such a rare undertone (the CYO Lifeproof 101 was almost identical before it was discontinue) and it's as close to a perfect match as I've ever had. If I didn't review foundations as my obsession, I'd probably roll regularly with the Missha and call it done.
Well said. You made perfect sense. I've seen you wear foundations over peeling skin where the peeling vanished afterwards. This one looks so good on you. It's a serious price though. I saw someone use the Dior cushion foundation the other day. $82 for the compact and two half ounce cartridges. I presume they sell the cartridges separate. Saw another youtuber buy one of those cartridges on amazon and she dispensed a foundation that she liked into it and she said it just made it better. I couldn't pay those high prices for a foundation though.
It's tough to pay premium prices when so many inexpensive foundations are performing so well these days! Those cushions always have such a high price per ounce that I cringe.
@@goow Absolutely. At some of the prices I'd want instant age reversal with every wear too!
Yes, people may be putting on a bit too much retin a or acids but because the hot and flashy channel is their religion, they will never admit that. Which works well for foundation makers, the more you ‘try’ the more you buy.
Thank you Shelley!! Thank you for saving me some coin lol!! I really thought this might be “the one” but I’m very content with the new Nars at almost half the price. I’d be curious to see if your thoughts change in the summer heat tho. Even if they do, it seems a bit finicky at that price point. Idk maybe it’s just me but for $70 it better go on like liquid gold lol. Thanks again!! Have a great week and Happy St Pats!☘️
Gosh the new Nars is so gorgeous!!! I suspect I will like the Chanel more in the summer. But I'm right there with you - at the $70 price point I should be able to wear it 24/7/365!
Thank you for your review! When I am not flaking/peeling I absolutely love this foundation on my dry skin. Doesn't settle and lasts all day. We are all so different and that's ok!! Ok so next request, can you review Seint? I have $220 worth of products sitting in my cart but I said self, 'Ask Shelly first!'
Me too!! I did watch a review Mrs Melissa?? She said it was drying. I would love to try it too!!! They make it look so easy and simple!!!
@@patmartin3233 I haven't watched her review yet, but I will! I know it's an MLM but they don't recruit people. I'm just interested in their products. There aren't many non-artist, mature, dry skin review and wear tests that I have been able to find. LisaLisa wore it but no wear test/review on it.
They make it look so easy and wearable. I’m not sure it’s Mrs Melissa?? I thought I saw her but it’s been a bit. I’m going to keep checking into it.. good luck!! 🥰
Like most brands, Chanel has some products which I adore and don't mind paying a premium to own and enjoy; however, I've never gotten on well with their foundations. Doesn't look like this one would suit me, soooo... $$ saved. Thank you. :)
Yay, a foundation video!
So glad you tried this one!!! Probably a pass for me…I think I’d rather try the Bobby Brown one.
I just tried this foundation and on everybody else it is so hydrating and plumping but for some reason it done the exact same thing to my face I don't understand what I've done wrong but I cannot wear this foundation at all I have it on right now I've seen other videos of people with like true it made their skin like an oily but my no it is so drying to my skin Thank you you always give wonderful reviews I knew I had to come and see your video to find out what was wrong with my skin we have the exact same color everything Thank you again
Body chemistry is fascinating! What works for one person is totally different on another - though sometimes I do think I might be an alien. 😂
Omg Shelly idk what made me randomly think of you but I was like man I haven’t seen a video of hers in a while so I looked you up and I was unsubscribed! Grr. Gotta binge all the content I missed now! 💖😘
I got recently unsubbed from a channel I have literally watched for a decade! I have no idea how it happens. :-/
Kosas revealer foundation please!
Coming soon! Filmed - just need to edit it =D (it's good!!)
I agree with you 100% on this guy! I wish you would review Chanel Vitalumiere original. I’m 49 and also dry/mature skin and that has been my holy grail for 20 years, curious to know your thoughts and how it compares to your holy grails as I tend to be right in line with your options ☺️
Hi Christine! Do you mean this one or a different one? ua-cam.com/video/BQHrMmCDIyg/v-deo.html
@@goow not this one, it’s the Vitalumiere… been around a long time, I purchase at Nordstroms. I must say I do love you videos! You are a joy to watch 😊
Thank you 😊
Thanks for the review. Enjoyed.
Hi Shelly, I understand the issue with having iffy skin issues from time to time, we all have those days. I do think you have used nicer foundations that make your skin look a lot nicer than this one has so am interested to see you re-try it when your skin has calmed down a bit. For the price though, this stuff better make my coffee and clean my toilet for me because in New Zealand (although we can't get it here yet) we would be looking at somewhere around NZD120-150 for this and for comparison, the Estee Lauder Double Wear is NZD77.
I love misha 21 but it breaks me out on my chin I love the finish the cover I still use it on a night out knowing I will have a coupe of spots on my chin next day
Well the shade is spot on. Some foundations, no matter the claims, are drying on the skin. Frustrating. 🤨 I wonder if the fragrance in the Chanel makeup is adding to the dryness going on?
Good review. Thanks
Hi Shelly I am new to your channel & love your reviews! Thanks you’re such a help since I also have dry skin. What was the Clarins serum that helped with undereye darkness? I struggle with that & interested in trying it. Thank you, till next time!! Enjoy your day!
It's the Clarins Total Eye Lift in the red pump!
@@goow thanks definitely trying!! Really appreciate it!
Hi Shelly. You've been missed!
I have to agree with you about every skin type should be able to wear a foundation. I have flakey skin as well (from Tretinoin and acids), and it's always around my mouth and chin area that becomes the most flakey. Some foundations work great, others, not so much.
I like the Chanel foundation on you. It looks like it wore well throughout the day. Nice color match. $70 is a bit out of my price range, considering right now I'm having a ball buying clothes and accessories for my grandson! ❤💙👶
Congratulations! 💙
All my questions answered. For that price I need more than B/B+
Yep that's pretty much where I land with it too.
Shelley, please review the new Nars foundation. Thanks in advance!
Hi Chris! The new Nars is awesome!! (spoiler alert lol) - ua-cam.com/video/EcW8DUXZzUM/v-deo.html
@@goow Apologies, Shelley, I had brain fog. I realised straight after that I had already seen and even commented on your Nars review. There has been a huge influx of new students at my uni, I have been running around like a headless chicken.
New subscriber here🙂. I was wondering have you tried “dior capture totale foundation” ?
I keep hearing great things because it’s one of those skin care/ foundation deals, but I’m nervous to try it cuz of the cost. It’s suppose to be great anti-aging makeup.
Welcome, Stephanie! I haven't tried that one yet but I need to catch up on some Dior because I have great luck with their foundations overall. Forever Skin Glow is one of my holy grails, and their face and body version is probably my top favorite matte foundation.
Shelley, if you still purchase from Beauty Pie, you have GOT to try the new Happy Face Cica (Rawr) Moisture Cream. It is awesome. It's a gel like cream, but it feels so nice. Almost like a primer, but I don't know if it makes makeup last any longer. I know you love Cica! RAWR 🤣
Oooh I do and I haven't tried that one yet! RAWR YESSSSSS!
The tufted titmouse is my favorite bird. I love watching them raise and lower their little crests. ☺️
My skin literally cracks. Only a handful of foundations will sit nicely on it. So I get ya. 👍
Hi there! My name is Jeanette and I'm from Sweden. I'm searching for Bobbi Browns miracle balm and we donat have it in Sweden. I wonder if you know a US web site where I can get it? I just love your videos and content🌹
Hi Jeanette! Here I would get it from Bobbi Brown's new brand site, Jones Road, but it looks like they currently only ship to the US, Canada, and the UK - jonesroadbeauty.com/
Haha I pick my polish and dip off especially when stressed - should of seen me before my fraxtel face laser !
Yep it's almost always stress for me!!
I'd like to see you with dark brown hair up to date
This has become my HG...tho, I have very different skin than you. I must say, I love the tone and finish on you!
I suspect I will like it more in the summer!
Hi Shelly, great review (im a little late!) I was just wondering if this shade is lighter than the Guerlain Terracotta le teint in 2C (which i think is your shade in that). I have 2C and its a tiny bit both dar and a tiny bit too pink for me and wondering how this compares shade wise. Thank you
This shade is about the same lightness to darkness and I'd say the Guerlain is a smidge more pink, so if the Guerlain is a little too pink for you, the Chanel is probably a better match.
Which do you like better, this or the chanel perfection lumiere velvet? Thanks!
This one a little bit more, as the velvet is a little drying on me.
Love love love you and your videos!! Other than the Bobbi brown, do you have a more affordable foundation that comes to mind that also helps rehydrate flaky skin, or, just works for those with flaky skin?
You may like the Loreal True Match Nude Serum....my favorite.
Yep what Kim said - the L'Oreal True Match Nude is awesome. I have to mix 2 shades to get a match but it's one of the rare foundations that I'll say is worth it.
Thank you both! I actually have the Loreal and like it! But, oddly enough because I’m oily, I feel it dries me out. My skin doesn’t love hyaluronic acid, but not sure that there’s enough in this to matter. I’ll keep trying it with different moisturizing products underneath.
Hi Shelly! Would you consider wear-testing the new Kosas foundation? Thank you
Yes!! I've got it filmed - just need to edit it! =D
@@goow Ayyy boo boo, you're the best! Lol I had to quote you on that one. Thanks so much, Shelly! Please know that your videos are a bright light needed by your viewers, like me, who need to hit the "refresh" button and to temporarily tune out the noise and chaos of our world.
Hi, where did you get this at Sephora or Ulta? 😊
I got it from Ulta. I prefer Ulta's rewards system so I buy there whenever I can (and I was shocked that they started carrying Chanel! I feel like they've been getting more prestige brands lately).
@@goow I’m shocked too! I worked at Ulta for an 8 year stretch, loved it! Did makeup all day!
I love it, sorry you didn't
:(
I find it has a beautiful satin hydrating finish on my skin. Lasts all day, and works well with just a light moisturiser underneath, it works for me best with my sigma F80 brush, not fingers. Its a thumbs up from me! :-) :-)
You looked best with black hair
$70?! I’ll pass. But I’ll watch.
Was looking for this comment..❣
@@Ms10yearsafter I’ll just live vicariously through her
@@melissaoliver9072 Yes, same.. 😆😂🤣
Yes!!!! Again with the complaints from the tufted titmouse(s/ice) !!! Oh they always have a strong opinion.
Shame it's not more hydrating, the finish is really pretty, gave you a blurred, velvety, faintly glowing appearance - I was surprised how much I liked the look of it, given how low the coverage is.
To save the foundation and one drop of facial oil with two pumps
I can not use foundation with fragrance. Why would this company continue to use a high fragrance . Do they know it's almost 2023. Most people don't want fragrance. .
It baffles me, too. :(
I wouldn't wear this - it's $70. and it's heavily fragranced (not cruelty-free). I read reviews in about 4 sites, and Many said the fragrance Never dissipates - it made me throw out a bottle of No5 I've never liked - so it helped me declutter! Always look at the bright side eh? LOL I'm gonna check Jenny, and Yes Taylor's the Best at foundation!
OH, Chanel has a moisturizer that's only $420 for 1.7oz - oh saaaay!!!
I honestly can't even comprehend paying $420 for any consumable product 😂
@@goow Yeah I Never would, last year they had a $600 moisturizer!! Doesn't that sound just a Little 'Over Confident' ! Uhhhh YEahhh
For that price and has the same cons as way cheaper foundations? I'd settle for the cheaper alternative.
Yep that's how I land on the high end ones - it better knock my socks off at that price.
Return, return, this foundation dried out my 50yr old skin. I had to use an oil treatment i also have dry skin. You have reviewed less expensive foundations with better skin properties.🤔🤔
I just tried the Danessa Myricks Yummy skin. Its so good! But you have to use so very , very tiny amount. I can't waste my time with this product because the fragrance will destroy me. Sighhhhhhhh.
Ad one drop
What’s been your favorite foundation lately?? 💜
I've been going back and forth between the new Nars and the Bobbi Brown Serum foundations =D
Glad I waited on this one. I expected you to like this more. I think I am dryer than you, so I think I’ll pass.
Chanel dries the skin
Ooof for that much money I expect better...especially with the claims. And I don't understand why the fragrance in skincare or makeup on "luxury" brands, it just means those like me with sensitive noses won't go near it 🤷
What is your favourite foundation? I’ve watched several of your foundation videos and you don’t ever appear to be impressed with any.
Here's my master list! Anything A- or higher would be a favorite to me :) geekoutofwater.com/foundation-fest/
At $70, if I can’t get a sample to try, it’s not worth it.
I was so disappointed with this foundation.. my skin looks sooooooooo dry at the end of a few hours wear… I wasted my money for sure!
This is my 3rd Chanel foundation and they've all been "meh" on me. Not bad, but not something I'd reach for regularly. It's kind of a bummer because I know many people have found their holy grails in Chanel. Not me...
P.S. you are looking lighter in the face these days.
