This! I'm not a youtuber interested in how the foundation looks in a bright studio lamp light (spoiler alert: the worst crap looks good in it), I want to know how it looks like outdoors. This "real life" footage is priceless
Yes!! Thank you. Many times a review will “say” they are bringing you in close… and it is either NOT close or it is still under the super bright (flattering) lights.
Even though I'm almost 70, I still have "issues" with foundations on my fussy skin. Sometimes it's winter-dry skin, sometimes, I have my oily spots (usually my nose). I'm trying out a new technique, which is simply combining two foundations to match those areas. I set out a contact lens case and put Lancome's Teint Idole (longwear) in one, and Loreal's Super Blendable in the other. Now, I can dab my finger in each, applying and blending them as needed. I used to love Maybelline's Fit Me Poreless on my skin, so I'm wondering how combining that with their Dewy & Smooth might work. I also like Charlotte Tilbury's Setting Spray, which really does seem to extend foundation wear. I think that's always been my biggest issue with foundations. I agree with many others here - the Loreal Foundation looks great on you!
MAC Face and Body is my holy grail. I get tons of compliments on my skin when I’m wearing it, and I have roseacea underneath! It’s lightweight and the coverage isn’t heavy but it’s buildable. Because it’s hydrating, it won’t last 12 hours on your nose and chin but I set it with powder in the T zone and it can be easily touched up throughout the day because it’s so buildable. And has an SPF of 25. They have another makeup in a tube (forget name) that is similar but more coverage for evening. And NO fragrance! 🙏🏼 I don’t know why more UA-camrs don’t talk about MAC foundations? After 20+ years I keep coming back to it, and it doesn’t make me look cakey or cracked. I have combination skin and it’s just luminous yet lightweight, which is great here in the humid south. I love it, but I don’t mind glowy finish vs matte. It’s much more youthful if you ask me.
I love to see make up videos for "mature skin". I'm 27, but I hate cakey looking make up, and that can happen to young people too! So your tips and reviews are really helpful for younger women as well 😃
Anyone feel like they’ve aged 10 years since the pandemic? I never wear makeup anymore. I keep my hair in a bun for work (I’m a nurse) and my cheeks are wrinkled from all the moisture being sucked out of my cheeks from my mask. lol 2020 we are so tired of you!
4ever Young’s, Yes! If I’m. Not in scrubs I’m in PJs and I’m so tired. Work or sleep - that’s it. I’m 61 and wow.... I don’t even want to meet folks for coffee. I’m exhausted
I agree. I'm only in a mask 3 days a week but it takes the other 4 to fix the damage. Scrubs and PJs. I tell my husband I'm saving so much money on clothes and makeup. But probably eat way more chocolate!
No. Exact opposite. My skin has never looked better. Sorry if that sounded like I'm gloating - I'm not. Co-vid coincided with me starting a proper skincare regimen at 50 for the first time in my life. And glad I did. I got to be a bit experimental during lockdown too and dip my toe into stronger actives when I didn't care if there was down time as I wasn't going anywhere anyway. But my teenage daughter's skin has taken a hit. Badly. She has KP and mild breakouts normally. We've just had months of continuous breakouts at this stage.
@Sweet Serenity I'm doing intermittent fasting for years. Haven't lost a pound. Mind you I'm almost bald now (female, 50) and thyroid tests showed underactive thyroid. GP did second test and came back normal and he REFUSES to do another test. Meanwhile my hair is falling out, I could sleep all day (but not at night) my heartbeat is irregular and my kidney's are starting to fail.
Thank you for your wonderful recommendations. Thanks to you, I tried the Estée Lauder Futurist foundation and my mature skin (73) loves it. I have to admit that I am a bit of a makeup junkie and like to wear different foundations. When I wear the Estée Lauder foundation, I get so many compliments on my skin. I would say my skin leans normal to a little dry. Love your channel!! ❤️
Searching for that mature skin like foundation & ran across this video! Love your videos Angie. 😊 It looks cold ans snowy where you are at. I live in frigid Minnesota and its cold 5- 6 months out of the year. Thank you for all you do.
I loved the Chanel foundation's performance enough that it was almost worth the high price. But after a year or so of wearing it, I finally couldn't stand the fragrance anymore. So I took the plunge and tried L'oreal True Match on your recommendation. Now I can honestly say I will never have to try a high end foundation again! It really is that good.
Hi Angie! I swear by the L'Oreal Infallible Fresh Wear. I am 60 and oily in my T Zone. I buy high end foundations and end up using the L'Oreal because it is the most beautiful skin like foundation. I also love the Infallible Pro Matte on the hot humid days which are many in South Florida where I live.
I’m 52 and my skin doesn’t know what it is. Oily? Yes! Dry? Sure! Combo? Why not?! Ugh. I don’t wear foundation unless it’s a super special occasion, but I might have to bite the bullet and try one of these that you recommended. I appreciate all the work you put in to make my life easier. 💛
THANK YOU! I'm about to turn 40 and I've been looking for role models to follow who have mature skin. This video was a godsend. I really appreciate the up close shots of the foundations in natural lighting, because I'm so hypercritical of how foundation looks even though I know I'm the only one who notices!
No 7 Beautifully Matte is a great foundation for mature skin. Use it sparingly around the mouth and chin, where the most movement occurs. It is almost full coverage so use sparingly. It reduces redness so much, which I find is very aging. Yes, it is matte, but does not emphasize wrinkles. Looks like velvet on the skin.
41 yrs old and I really enjoy the Estée Lauder I’m on my third tube. I haven’t tried the other recommendations yet I’ll have to save the video. I’d really like to try the rare beauty foundation.
L’Oréal true match is the only one my husband has actually gave me a compliment on. Can’t use it all the time because it does cause me to breakout if I do. But for special occasions it’s a great one.
I believe you are the only one who shows what each of these foundations looks in natural and strong sun light! Thank you so much for this, as foundation looks much different outdoors in natural light and, indeed, in strong sun light than it does indoors in controlled 'studio' lighting. I'm in my thirties but I prefer your channel for such advice, as does my mum (late 60s).
I love that you offer proof and in bright sunlight, no less! I have used Estée Lauder for decades. Light double wear has been my favorite for the last few years. Recently tried another foundation that is getting Beautiful reviews and after wearing it a few disappointing times, I’m back to light double wear. There is just such a healthy youthful look that I get from Estée Lauder products. I’m always on the look out for something better, but I always go back to Estée.
I’m 56 with normal to dry skin and I’m in LOVE with the Stila Hide & Chic 🥰. I’m about to try the new IT foundation- it was between that one and the Rare Beauty. Love your foundation reviews- thanks you ! Tammy Roy 🇨🇦
That last L'Oreal makeup looks great on you I've never been able to find a match for myself in any L'Oreal makeup. For drug store, it looked the best of all of them.
I just love when you do these foundation lists. We are skin twins. I’m also 58 with the same skin type. When you do the sunshine test, I feel like I’m looking in a mirror in terms of my skin. I tried the IT Cosmetics for a week with so many different application methods but no luck! I was an oily mess very quickly and it really settled in all the wrong places. I just purchased the Chanel foundation but haven’t tried it yet. Excited to give it a shot! xx
I love your foundation round ups! You are correct however in stating the Chanel velvet does not working for very dry skin...it looked awful on me no matter what I did. However, I LOVE the new IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Foundation. Incredibly natural looking! On my super dry 61 year old skin it has a satin, skin like finish. To give it more luminosity, I use the Charlotte Tillbury Hollywood Flawless Filter as a primer or even a little mixed in and I can get a gorgeous luminous glow with the IT Foundation. My other HG include Georgio Armani Luminous Silk and the L"real Pro Glow. Both are beautifully radiant on my very mature, very dry skin. I'm super interested in the Estee Lauder and the Rare Beauty foundations that you mentioned. Thanks for always posting such detailed foundation reviews!
Holy cow, the true match definitely looked the best at what a great price point. I never buy a drugstore foundation but now seeing it on you it has peaked my interest! I also thought the Chanel looked fabulous on you and it’s still one of my go to’s. Unfortunately I’ve tried every foundation you listed with exception of the rare beauty and the true match and they just didn’t work for me for various reasons. True match is going in my cart!
I cannot express how much I appreciate and RELY on your guidance! It's like your our personal shopper who does the footwork and testing so that We Don't Have To! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR EFFORTS! SO much appreciation, truly!
I've used this, or one very similar, in the past, but now I'm going back to it! Just bought some very light/white makeup drops from ELF so that I can lighten my Laura Mercier foundation that was too too dark for me. (They refunded my money AT Sephora, and since I couldn't get to a post office, they told me to Gift it to a friend!) But no friend is this dark! So I matched the other day and finally found out how much I loved the Laura Mercier! Learned this from watching Angie Use Her Drops! But The Chanel is PERFECT on Angie's skin. how many of you think so, too???
I’m 54 and I tried the L’Oréal true match after watching your review. It doesn’t settle into my pores and wrinkles and it looks so natural. I love watching your channel, it’s so informative and interesting and I have changed my skincare routine for the better because of you.
Update! I had a bottle of the Chanel Velvet that I save for special occasions (it’s expensive) but, hey, 2020 isn’t giving us any reasons to dress up. I decided to do an “Angie Test” on my 68 yo face. I used a moisturizer, sunscreen, and primer first and no setting powder after. It did feel like velvet going on and looked really great on my complexion. I don’t have spots or freckles to cover but I do have wrinkles. It held up well for about 7 hours with absolutely no settling into the lines around my mouth. But by that 7 hour mark I noticed my complexion looked very dry and my blush looked like it was just sitting on top of my skin. If I DID have a special evening out, I would definitely wait until late afternoon to apply my makeup for the evening. If I could have given my 50 yo self advice, it would have been start Retin A now before you actually need it. Angie does such an amazing job testing and reporting on products!
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation is my fav- its a little expensive but soo worth it. The ilia soft focusing translucent powder is the only powder I like under eyes. I would love for you to give it a try if you haven't already😍 thanks for the video
@@michadawn234 yes its the best powder I've found yet for undereye. These are some that I have & ilia beats them all- Laura Mercier loose translucent & honey, Ben Nye loose banana, Maybelline fit me translucent pressed , Maybelline fit me loose, No7 lift & luminate pressed light/med & med, younique loose powder, Bellapierre banana loose, CoverGirl true blend, Coty airspun, IT bye bye pores medium, Estee Lauder double wear beige. Hope that helps. I also get 100% fragrance free colloidal oatmeal & make a mask 10-20 min, rinse then apply skin care while wet then lock it in with CeraVe night cream- its helped my dehydrated skin & can definitely notice a difference in my undereye skin
@@crystalowen8328 thank you so much!!! I have tried some of the ones you have mentioned. The LM secret under eye is just okay with the LM translucent looking terrible. I do like the No 7 that you mentioned in light the best of any that I have used but it still doesn’t look great. I also use the tiniest amount. So thank you for the tips. I will try. I have been using Skinsceuticles A.G.E eye cream and it has really been a game changer. Transformed my under eye area. 🌻
Love love love the Ilia serum. It’s so hydrating and nourishing and gives great sun protection. Beautiful dewy finish. No talc no aluminum - that are so often in CC & BB creams and foundations ☺️🦄
The Chanel is still my Holy Grail for my oily T-zone at 55. Seriously, I thought that I'd "grow out of that" by now...nope! I tried the L'oreal, but didn't like it, partly, because I spent too much on trying to find the right color match. I do find myself grabbing Lancome's Dual Finish Powder Foundation the most, since I have normal to oily skin. Thanks for the great reviews!
Feelin' the 'crypt-creeker' these days, too. An instant boost and confidence builder with the right foundation/tinted moisturizer. So great to see this video today with all of the myriad of great suggestions. I agree, so many great foundations/tinted moisturizers on the market today...a good time to be getting older! Thanks Angie!
Just found your videos. I'm a new subscriber. What a breath of fresh air. Someone who's not 20 something telling how their wrinkles bother them. I have a feeling you would look great with any foundation! Thanks for the videos!
So grateful for you and your very informative videos! I, also, have chosen Este Lauder Futurist and Stila for my top two foundations. I can’t even think how long it would have taken to find them without your recommendations!!! 💕
This is so timely and my most difficult makeup issue at the moment...what worked at age 60 is not working at 68. Everything seems to just sit on top of my skin and not blend anymore. I’ve been attributing it more to sunscreen than my actual skin, even though I try to wait at least 20 minutes. So far my best luck has been Chanel CC cream, but I will start working my way through your new list. Thanks Angie!
Hi Roxanne, I tried the Chanel CC a few years ago and thought it looked heavy on my skin so it could be that product rather than your skin or sunscreen... Hope you find something better! xo ~a.
@@leneskov5184 I feel like I’m living my best life right now then look in the mirror! 🤦♀️. So depressing. I’ve been using Retin A for about 3 years, but I had a lot of childhood sunburns.
Wow. The Rare beauty looked soo good in the sun. Probably better than any foundation I have seen from your in the sun videos. Wow. L’Oréal True Match is one of the only foundations that match my skin. Warm Light Olive.. Warm 2.5 Vanilla
Wow!! Watched this last night & went out to try Estee Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue today. Every place in Minneapolis was out of the color I needed & couldn't get it till February , but finally located it on Bloomingdale's site PLUS got the special gift. The woman at Macy's gave me a trial container, so went home & tried it on half my face...LORD what a difference. My husband was super impressed...yay...since at 70, it is hard to find a game changer like this. THANK YOU!!!
I’m approaching my 50’s and have an uneven skin tone. I put on some foundation yesterday and literally wanted to cry, I felt like a drag queen, I had to take it off immediately. Thank goodness your here ! I’ve ordered the Channel foundation. Hopefully now no more tears.
I so agree about how I feel when my makeup is done. I do my makeup before I go to a water exercise class and the one thing I make sure to do is wear waterproof mascara. You didn’t mention the EL double wear , but that is my go to if I will be wearing my mask for awhile as I find it doesn’t transfer to my mask. When we no longer have to wear mask I may burn them! I know it will be awhile but they are hot and breathing isn’t great. I just had to get that off my chest! Thanks 😊
Angie, can you pleaseee test the Tarte Face Tape foundation!?! People are saying it’s underrated and better than Estée Lauder. I only trust you to give us that answer! Haha
I know this is an older video, but I just ran out of my last holy grail tube of Double Wear Light. So sad. I'm trying to figure out a replacement. I'll try True Match first hoping that the cheap option will be a winner for me! Thanks, Angie!
How do you not have any under eye wrinkles? That is goals! I’m only 28 and I have a TON!!! Foundation/concealer make it look 10x worse even tho I’m very light with it
Hi Angie, first I have to say that YOU are my "Holy Grail" when it comes to UA-cam videos, makeup, skincare and clothes. I have a couple of questions I'm hoping you might address in an upcoming video, or possibly you already have. 1) Do you always use primer when you wear foundation? 2) Do you apply primer under or over your sunscreen? 3) What is the difference between setting powder and spray? Thank you so much for all of your information and inspiration.
I have been using the Stilla Hide and Chic ever since you suggested it like a year ago...it is perfect for my pores and wrinkles and no one can tell I’m wearing foundation. I barely see other influencers recommend it, so I’m thankful you speak about it...everyone should try it!
You have spoken directly to me in this video. Thank you Angie! I am a WFH accountant doing a lot of Zoom calls. I find that putting on my makeup makes me feel human and pretty. I just plain feel better about myself as you said. For me, my holiest grail for foundation these days is Chantecaille in Ivory. The color match is perfect for me and doesn’t transfer much on my mask which is super awesome. I have a fairly prominent reddish/pinkish undertone in my skin so a good color match is very tricky for me. On your recommendation I tried Estée Lauder and the newer IT Cosmetics foundation and those are great on me too, although I think the Estée Lauder is a better color match. I tried Stila too, but that one the color match wasn’t working for me. Thank you Angie, your videos are so helpful and I look forward to each one.
I'm so glad in the end there was one I could afford! Although feeling confident really is priceless, so I might sooner splurge on a foundation than on a fancy pair of shoes. I'm 36 but my skin is changing and acting weird from all the drying acne treatments I had to use over the years, so I really appreciate your channel and I think you are absolutely stunning ❤
I'm trying to help my mom find her Mojo again! Re-vamp the gal and give her the best years of her life! Thank you so much for making this guide! I'm gonna take her on a shopping spree and pamper her to no end!
I bought Stila Hide and Chic based on your recommendation and I just love it. Very natural. I picked up a couple extra bottles of it when it was on sale on their website for $19. That was a few weeks ago. Love your videos. Have a good weekend.
Hi Angie! As always, I just want to thank you for all the time and effort you put into creating these videos to assist so many of us who really need the advice sometimes. I've always loved your conversational and friendly delivery of content. I like that you often share a little about yourself personally and what's going on in your life, but unlike me, you don't ramble-just pretty much to the point. Again, thank you so much. I've been with you all along and have always loved you! You are a great lady and i truly appreciate all that you do. Lauren
Chanel is always a favorite but I'm wearing Pat McGrath Skin Fetish these days and love it. I know you reviewed it and weren't wowed but I find it sheer and natural. I love the thin consistency too. So many good options!
Has Anyone tried the Il Makiage that is all over IG????? They sure make it easy to find your correct color!!!!!And mid-priced, with great returnable options! I'm gonna try it. Tho I don't know Why!!! I don't go anywhere, EXCEPT to my first Actual Doctor's Appt. And two days later...JUST getting into a shower, thanks to catching the Flu!!! From Sunday til 4 pm, today, I have slept, with fever, sorest muscles, and chills. First time I've opened my computer. Thankfully, I had easy things to eat, but barely ate. Was too sleepy and miserable to get up and fix anything. So, wear TIGHTER masks! I wore a semi-loose one. And had not yet had my flu shot this year. But Flu shots usually always give me the flu!!!
Angie thank you for doing these! I have always wore minimal make up. Up until I turned 50. Except for special occasions. And if I wore foundation it was the regular bare essentials. That I had been purchasing since it first came out. I turned 50 and like overnight it was like my skin changed or I just decided to look at it closer. Anyways, I love watching your videos and how much research you put into them. And for the first time in my life I am wearing sunscreen (two of your Holy grails) using Curology that I absolutely love. But was so afraid to try but have had no bad reactions too. And I purchased this foundation to start using so I can play with it some before my daughter gets married in October. Also I’ve noticed we wear a lot of the same shades of foundations! So thank you for getting me starting on my healthy skin journey.
Thank you for your hard work. You are always thorough ... truth be told I will not watch your videos unless I have the time and right mindset for the information. We are the same age which is helpful. Several years back, I started looking for skin and makeup information that was not spun by the makeup industry. You were my first find that filled many of my needs. You have consistently provided your viewers with clearly defined facts and information -- making it accessible for everyone. Thanks again.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! The Estee Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue is the first foundation that has ever worked with my very dry skin. It is scented but it doesn't bother me. I feel like my skin looks good.
Thanks for showing us the “real life” pictures too. Great to see the foundations under natural light. Appreciate your honest reviews.
This! I'm not a youtuber interested in how the foundation looks in a bright studio lamp light (spoiler alert: the worst crap looks good in it), I want to know how it looks like outdoors. This "real life" footage is priceless
I totally agree, one of the best demonstrations!!!
@@kelligray1848 I agree! I always think I'm the only one with textured skin. This is good for my mental health
Yes!! Thank you. Many times a review will “say” they are bringing you in close… and it is either NOT close or it is still under the super bright (flattering) lights.
Love the bright sunlight test. I can’t believe how gorgeous the budget friendly L’Oréal looked outside!

Hello Kathy, how are you doing?
What a lovely name you have
Thank you for including which foundations are cruelty free. That is a deal breaker for me and listing that at the beginning of each review is huge!
Interestingly enough, the cheapest one L’Oréal true match looked your best and most skin like. 👍🏽
Just about to make this same comment! Really surprised
how good the L’Oreal Trumatch looked &worked when compared w/ The other ones!
Glad to see a current Holy Grail list, and even happier to see True Match is still on the list! Been loving that & the Catrice HD foundations lately.
I just love when you do these foundation lists. We are skin twins. I’m also 58 with the same skin type. When you do the sunshine test, I feel like I’m looking in a mirror in terms of my skin. I tried the IT Cosmetics for a week with so many different application methods but no luck! I was an oily mess very quickly and it really settled in all the wrong places. I just purchased the Chanel foundation but haven’t tried it yet. Excited to give it a shot! xx
I love your foundation round ups! You are correct however in stating the Chanel velvet does not working for very dry skin...it looked awful on me no matter what I did. However, I LOVE the new IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Foundation. Incredibly natural looking! On my super dry 61 year old skin it has a satin, skin like finish. To give it more luminosity, I use the Charlotte Tillbury Hollywood Flawless Filter as a primer or even a little mixed in and I can get a gorgeous luminous glow with the IT Foundation. My other HG include Georgio Armani Luminous Silk and the L"real Pro Glow. Both are beautifully radiant on my very mature, very dry skin. I'm super interested in the Estee Lauder and the Rare Beauty foundations that you mentioned. Thanks for always posting such detailed foundation reviews!
I've paused the video to say that you have smart reviews, very detailed without unnecessary talk, just what has to be said. Thanks!
Holy cow, the true match definitely looked the best at what a great price point. I never buy a drugstore foundation but now seeing it on you it has peaked my interest! I also thought the Chanel looked fabulous on you and it’s still one of my go to’s. Unfortunately I’ve tried every foundation you listed with exception of the rare beauty and the true match and they just didn’t work for me for various reasons. True match is going in my cart!
I cannot express how much I appreciate and RELY on your guidance! It's like your our personal shopper who does the footwork and testing so that We Don't Have To! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR EFFORTS! SO much appreciation, truly!
Thanks for this. I found the Chanel foundation because of you and love it. Never would have tried without you. Keep it up.
I've used this, or one very similar, in the past, but now I'm going back to it!
Just bought some very light/white makeup drops from ELF so that I can lighten my Laura Mercier foundation that was too too dark for me. (They refunded my money AT Sephora, and since I couldn't get to a post office, they told me to Gift it to a friend!) But no friend is this dark! So I matched the other day and finally found out how much I loved the Laura Mercier! Learned this from watching Angie Use Her Drops!
But The Chanel is PERFECT on Angie's skin. how many of you think so, too???
If I knew it before, I forgot. The elf drops are a great tip. Thanks. Hate not being able to use makeup I can’t return because of the shade.
Life is too short for bad foundation...thank you!
I was contemplating buying myself a good foundation... I'll take your comment as a sign haha :D
Age Is Just a Number,
That's true, and it's also kind of funny :: "Life is too short for bad foundation". Gotta remember that one!!,😅
They all looked real beautiful on your skin. Thank you for the natural sunlight pics. Makes it more realistic. Thank you!
I’m 54 and I tried the L’Oréal true match after watching your review. It doesn’t settle into my pores and wrinkles and it looks so natural. I love watching your channel, it’s so informative and interesting and I have changed my skincare routine for the better because of you.
Awesome! I'm so happy you love it!
Update! I had a bottle of the Chanel Velvet that I save for special occasions (it’s expensive) but, hey, 2020 isn’t giving us any reasons to dress up. I decided to do an “Angie Test” on my 68 yo face. I used a moisturizer, sunscreen, and primer first and no setting powder after. It did feel like velvet going on and looked really great on my complexion. I don’t have spots or freckles to cover but I do have wrinkles. It held up well for about 7 hours with absolutely no settling into the lines around my mouth. But by that 7 hour mark I noticed my complexion looked very dry and my blush looked like it was just sitting on top of my skin. If I DID have a special evening out, I would definitely wait until late afternoon to apply my makeup for the evening. If I could have given my 50 yo self advice, it would have been start Retin A now before you actually need it. Angie does such an amazing job testing and reporting on products!
Thanks for sharing Roxanne!
Your skin always looks so hydrated and shiny and healthy!!!
I think the l’oreal looked the best on your skin, especially in direct sunshine 😳
True match looks best on you in my opinion. That satin finish really looks good on you.
I agree! It looked luminous without being shiny. I’m going to have to try that one!
Thank you Angie for investing your time and effort to deliver great content and advice
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation is my fav- its a little expensive but soo worth it. The ilia soft focusing translucent powder is the only powder I like under eyes. I would love for you to give it a try if you haven't already😍 thanks for the video
I love that one as well. A favorite.
Do you have dry under eyes? I am looking for a powder that will work for dry and crepey under eye area.
@@michadawn234 yes its the best powder I've found yet for undereye. These are some that I have & ilia beats them all- Laura Mercier loose translucent & honey, Ben Nye loose banana, Maybelline fit me translucent pressed , Maybelline fit me loose, No7 lift & luminate pressed light/med & med, younique loose powder, Bellapierre banana loose, CoverGirl true blend, Coty airspun, IT bye bye pores medium, Estee Lauder double wear beige. Hope that helps. I also get 100% fragrance free colloidal oatmeal & make a mask 10-20 min, rinse then apply skin care while wet then lock it in with CeraVe night cream- its helped my dehydrated skin & can definitely notice a difference in my undereye skin
@@crystalowen8328 thank you so much!!! I have tried some of the ones you have mentioned. The LM secret under eye is just okay with the LM translucent looking terrible. I do like the No 7 that you mentioned in light the best of any that I have used but it still doesn’t look great. I also use the tiniest amount. So thank you for the tips. I will try. I have been using Skinsceuticles A.G.E eye cream and it has really been a game changer. Transformed my under eye area. 🌻
Love love love the Ilia serum. It’s so hydrating and nourishing and gives great sun protection. Beautiful dewy finish. No talc no aluminum - that are so often in CC & BB creams and foundations ☺️🦄
The Chanel is still my Holy Grail for my oily T-zone at 55. Seriously, I thought that I'd "grow out of that" by now...nope! I tried the L'oreal, but didn't like it, partly, because I spent too much on trying to find the right color match. I do find myself grabbing Lancome's Dual Finish Powder Foundation the most, since I have normal to oily skin. Thanks for the great reviews!
I’m in the same boat. 58 and still have that oily t-zone! 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Love the video! I have been loving L’Oreal Visible Lift foundation lately and absolutely nobody talks about that one.
Feelin' the 'crypt-creeker' these days, too. An instant boost and confidence builder with the right foundation/tinted moisturizer. So great to see this video today with all of the myriad of great suggestions. I agree, so many great foundations/tinted moisturizers on the market today...a good time to be getting older! Thanks Angie!
Me as well. I’m 58 and I would say that this past year my skin has changed so much. The texture around my mouth and chin is infuriating!
@@sueanderson3356, amen! I’m 57 and my chin drives me nuts.
L’Oréal True match is my ‘holy grail’ for my 61 year old combo skin! Awesome Budget friendly find for sure❤️😉👍
I’m going to write this before the ad is even finished... NARS sheer glow hands down.
Just found your videos. I'm a new subscriber. What a breath of fresh air. Someone who's not 20 something telling how their wrinkles bother them. I have a feeling you would look great with any foundation! Thanks for the videos!
LOVE how you tested each foundation! Love your channel Angie!💖☺️
Your natural skin is absolutely beautiful! I wish mine looked so flawless.
I really appreciate the close-ups in the sun. Good reference for realistic expectations!
The L’Oreal looked the best, most natural and flattering to your skin. Thank you for your videos and all that you do for those of us with mature skin.
So grateful for you and your very informative videos! I, also, have chosen Este Lauder Futurist and Stila for my top two foundations. I can’t even think how long it would have taken to find them without your recommendations!!! 💕
No kidding - she’s saved me a ton of money and time. Used to waste a lot of both before this channel. Not anymore.
This is so timely and my most difficult makeup issue at the moment...what worked at age 60 is not working at 68. Everything seems to just sit on top of my skin and not blend anymore. I’ve been attributing it more to sunscreen than my actual skin, even though I try to wait at least 20 minutes. So far my best luck has been Chanel CC cream, but I will start working my way through your new list. Thanks Angie!
Hi Roxanne, I tried the Chanel CC a few years ago and thought it looked heavy on my skin so it could be that product rather than your skin or sunscreen... Hope you find something better! xo ~a.
Oh no... I am 60 and find foundation my biggest make up problem - and you say it gets even worse.. 😬
@@leneskov5184 I feel like I’m living my best life right now then look in the mirror! 🤦♀️. So depressing. I’ve been using Retin A for about 3 years, but I had a lot of childhood sunburns.
Wow. The Rare beauty looked soo good in the sun. Probably better than any foundation I have seen from your in the sun videos. Wow. L’Oréal True Match is one of the only foundations that match my skin. Warm Light Olive.. Warm 2.5 Vanilla
Wow!! Watched this last night & went out to try Estee Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue today. Every place in Minneapolis was out of the color I needed & couldn't get it till February , but finally located it on Bloomingdale's site PLUS got the special gift. The woman at Macy's gave me a trial container, so went home & tried it on half my face...LORD what a difference. My husband was super impressed...yay...since at 70, it is hard to find a game changer like this. THANK YOU!!!
Yay is right!! So happy you love it!
I’m a mature woman with oily skin so THANKYOU for including some options 👌🏼
I love the Chanel foundation as well. I can always tell when you are wearing it
I’m approaching my 50’s and have an uneven skin tone. I put on some foundation yesterday and literally wanted to cry, I felt like a drag queen, I had to take it off immediately. Thank goodness your here ! I’ve ordered the Channel foundation. Hopefully now no more tears.
Your reply mde me laugh...with you not at you. Hope the Chanel works for you.
I so agree about how I feel when my makeup is done. I do my makeup before I go to a water exercise class and the one thing I make sure to do is wear waterproof mascara. You didn’t mention the EL double wear , but that is my go to if I will be wearing my mask for awhile as I find it doesn’t transfer to my mask. When we no longer have to wear mask I may burn them! I know it will be awhile but they are hot and breathing isn’t great. I just had to get that off my chest! Thanks 😊
Your public pool is Open????? I can't wait til it's safe to get back into my YMCA pool!
The Futurist is my fav since I have such dry skin. You are my expert on foundations and I love all your recommendations.
Angie, can you pleaseee test the Tarte Face Tape foundation!?! People are saying it’s underrated and better than Estée Lauder. I only trust you to give us that answer! Haha
I just bought Dior Matte. And I love it. I have Koh Gen Do, PM Fetish, Makeup Forever Reboot, L’Oréal Infallible Fresh.
Only Dior keeps my face matte.
I’m in my mid fifties and I’m blessed with good skin , so I love love the BB creams ,, their sheer and natural looking 🤗
I know this is an older video, but I just ran out of my last holy grail tube of Double Wear Light. So sad. I'm trying to figure out a replacement. I'll try True Match first hoping that the cheap option will be a winner for me! Thanks, Angie!
How do you not have any under eye wrinkles? That is goals! I’m only 28 and I have a TON!!! Foundation/concealer make it look 10x worse even tho I’m very light with it
Love the Chanel look on you. Looks so soft.
Another one that's very light is
"found. BB cream."
it's 98% natural. Made with wild blackberry extract. Sold at Wal-Mart. I love it.
Thanks… I ll try the Chanel
L’Oréal true match is my holy grail. Funny, on the side by side pics every foundation looked equally good to me!
Hi Angie, first I have to say that YOU are my "Holy Grail" when it comes to UA-cam videos, makeup, skincare and clothes. I have a couple of questions I'm hoping you might address in an upcoming video, or possibly you already have. 1) Do you always use primer when you wear foundation? 2) Do you apply primer under or over your sunscreen? 3) What is the difference between setting powder and spray? Thank you so much for all of your information and inspiration.
I have been using the Stilla Hide and Chic ever since you suggested it like a year ago...it is perfect for my pores and wrinkles and no one can tell I’m wearing foundation. I barely see other influencers recommend it, so I’m thankful you speak about it...everyone should try it!
Thank you so much so helpful and clear as always
You have spoken directly to me in this video. Thank you Angie! I am a WFH accountant doing a lot of Zoom calls. I find that putting on my makeup makes me feel human and pretty. I just plain feel better about myself as you said. For me, my holiest grail for foundation these days is Chantecaille in Ivory. The color match is perfect for me and doesn’t transfer much on my mask which is super awesome. I have a fairly prominent reddish/pinkish undertone in my skin so a good color match is very tricky for me. On your recommendation I tried Estée Lauder and the newer IT Cosmetics foundation and those are great on me too, although I think the Estée Lauder is a better color match. I tried Stila too, but that one the color match wasn’t working for me. Thank you Angie, your videos are so helpful and I look forward to each one.
I'm so glad in the end there was one I could afford! Although feeling confident really is priceless, so I might sooner splurge on a foundation than on a fancy pair of shoes. I'm 36 but my skin is changing and acting weird from all the drying acne treatments I had to use over the years, so I really appreciate your channel and I think you are absolutely stunning ❤
I'm trying to help my mom find her Mojo again! Re-vamp the gal and give her the best years of her life! Thank you so much for making this guide! I'm gonna take her on a shopping spree and pamper her to no end!
Angie, I love your channel. You are classy and very honest. I'm also 51 and need so much help with my beauty regimen
love your appraisal on everything, so solid and trustful
Angie you really need to try some of the k-beauty foundations. For mature skin, they are the best.
Chantecaille future skin is my holy grail and Chanel velvet is my second and I found that because of you so thank you 🌸🌸🌸
I bought Stila Hide and Chic based on your recommendation and I just love it. Very natural. I picked up a couple extra bottles of it when it was on sale on their website for $19. That was a few weeks ago. Love your videos. Have a good weekend.
Hi Angie! As always, I just want to thank you for all the time and effort you put into creating these videos to assist so many of us who really need the advice sometimes. I've always loved your conversational and friendly delivery of content. I like that you often share a little about yourself personally and what's going on in your life, but unlike me, you don't ramble-just pretty much to the point. Again, thank you so much. I've been with you all along and have always loved you! You are a great lady and i truly appreciate all that you do. Lauren
Thank you for this great video, Angie! I LOVE the L'oreal Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation. It looks amazing!! (age 47, oily skin)
Thank you for informing us which ones are cruelty free
Chanel is always a favorite but I'm wearing Pat McGrath Skin Fetish these days and love it. I know you reviewed it and weren't wowed but I find it sheer and natural. I love the thin consistency too. So many good options!
Has Anyone tried the Il Makiage that is all over IG????? They sure make it easy to find your correct color!!!!!And mid-priced, with great returnable options! I'm gonna try it. Tho I don't know Why!!! I don't go anywhere, EXCEPT to my first Actual Doctor's Appt. And two days later...JUST getting into a shower, thanks to catching the Flu!!! From Sunday til 4 pm, today, I have slept, with fever, sorest muscles, and chills. First time I've opened my computer. Thankfully, I had easy things to eat, but barely ate. Was too sleepy and miserable to get up and fix anything. So, wear TIGHTER masks! I wore a semi-loose one. And had not yet had my flu shot this year. But Flu shots usually always give me the flu!!!
@@dannagordon9618 omg Ive been so curious about my that one!
Thanks for not leaving out those of us seniors who still have oily or combo skin!!
Angie thank you for doing these! I have always wore minimal make up. Up until I turned 50. Except for special occasions. And if I wore foundation it was the regular bare essentials. That I had been purchasing since it first came out. I turned 50 and like overnight it was like my skin changed or I just decided to look at it closer. Anyways, I love watching your videos and how much research you put into them. And for the first time in my life I am wearing sunscreen (two of your Holy grails) using Curology that I absolutely love. But was so afraid to try but have had no bad reactions too. And I purchased this foundation to start using so I can play with it some before my daughter gets married in October. Also I’ve noticed we wear a lot of the same shades of foundations! So thank you for getting me starting on my healthy skin journey.
Thanks Angie for that nice summery. For all of us who either are on video calls or - as me - simply like a smoother skin for just myself. 😊
Angie , I bought Nars from Ulta and Works perfectly on me, I'm 53!!
Thank you for your hard work. You are always thorough ... truth be told I will not watch your videos unless I have the time and right mindset for the information. We are the same age which is helpful.
Several years back, I started looking for skin and makeup information that was not spun by the makeup industry. You were my first find that filled many of my needs. You have consistently provided your viewers with clearly defined facts and information -- making it accessible for everyone. Thanks again.
Wow! The Rare Beauty Foundation looked beautiful on you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! The Estee Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue is the first foundation that has ever worked with my very dry skin. It is scented but it doesn't bother me. I feel like my skin looks good.
At the end of the day, my two favorite foundations are Chanel and L'Oreal, great texture, finish, and staying power.
The Chanel and the L’Oréal looked the best, hands down. Thanks for this information!
My favorite is Guelain Lingerie de Peau. I'm 59 and it's perfect for me. Liked your review and have always like the Chanel foundation you mentioned.
