    I actually love that foundation! I’ve been wearing it a lot lately, it lasts all day with me! And it doesn’t settle in lines or emphasize texture! It’s very smoothing like you said, But I do have a different skin type then you mines is more oily/ normal so I like that it doesn’t make me an oil slick which I love but I do agree it’s not that hydrating it’s more like a satin matte

    I have dry/combo skin and this is my current favorite foundation. Plays well under my skincare and sunscreens. I live I. Houston, but used it while on vacay to Colorado and it was amazing. Also, on a recent road trip, this lasted over 24 hours 😳…definitely not something I usually do, but it was great.
    I reached for it over the new UD and the PS BBB tinted foundation as well as the rest of my stash.
    It’s been great. Just goes to show how different makeup works on everyone.

      @@MS-te3ob I have the same issue with certain foundations and/or primer combinations. I actually have a more ‘burnt’ type result from the ‘hydrating’ type sheer coverage like the Wet & Wild hydration product. It leaves my face looking like I have a ‘mascane’ situation. The only thing different I’ve tried is the hydration type products like the one I mentioned. I’ll have to look & see what other ones I’ve tried. Tomorrow I’m trying the Covergirl Outlast extreme wear 3 in 1. I think the trouble I’m having is that I’m super dehydrated all the time and the hylaronic acid grabs moisture from somewhere and it’s leaving little ‘blister’ type mini bumps in it’s wake.
      Anyone else get ‘burnt’ from any foundations??

    It looks pretty, Shelly, but my dust-dry skin just cannot tolerate a drying product. I'm glad you mentioned the down side to hyaluronic acid--most people don't! I live in a very, very cold winter climate with zero humidity, and HA makes my skin look like dry, wrinkled, crepe-paper--NOT a good look for anyone. So glad to see the always-beautiful Ziva in the background--please convey my apologies to her for mistakenly referring to her as "Diva" in a previous comment. (I'm suitably ashamed for the error!)

She doesn't care what you call her as long as you're talking to her! I was originally going to name a pair of cats Ziva and DiNozzo after the characters in NCIS, and I got Ziva, but then the next 2 cats I got were female so that kind of ruined my plan. So she's Ziva and I no longer have themed cat names (Daffy and Polly kept their names from the shelter!) 😹

    Great review as always Shelly. Thanks for that. Speaking of dry flaking skin, I recently bought on yesstyle (using your code also) the Purito Centella Green Level Recovery cream. I had heard it was great for the tretinoin peelies. It's also bloody brilliant at reducing redness as my chest exploded in a red lumpy rash from the tret. Three days of using the cream at night and my chest is back almost to normal. It's very hydrating too. I wonder if you've tried it yet. I've yet to hit the "peelie" stage so I don't know what it's like for that yet. Just thought I'd mention it in case you hadn't heard about it/tried it. Thanks for sharing and take care gorgeous.

    30ml is technically 1.01oz, but most companies round up or down to the nearest tenth.

    • @goow

      It definitely could be!! One way you can continue to use products with HA is if you try adding multiple layers of any hydrating spray in between your steps beneath the moisturizer. Preferably spray without alcohol, but I've used the Pixi Milky Mist (which does have a little bit of alcohol) with no problems. Caudlie grape water spray or the Evian face mist are also good. That way you're feeding it some moisture to draw and hold on to, hopefully enough that when it can't find any moisture in the air around you, it won't have to dig into your skin for it.

    Hi Shelley I can't use anything with a lot of HA during the Winter, but it's ok in the Summer. This might be the case with this one. A combination of already irritated skin, no primer and being in the midst of Winter may have not given it the best chance tbh. It might be worth trying again in the Spring or Summer. I have very dry skin year round and as that's the palest shade it's a no go for me anyway. I have never had any luck with the complexion products from essence, but their colour cosmetics tend to be better. It's a very hit and miss brand for me overall. The make me brow, the eye primer, the eyeliners and mascaras are usually pretty good and the lip products are fine. The shade range in the complexion products is fairly limited so I tend to pass them by for base/foundation. The tightness you're feeling is probably due to the irritation from the catrice foundation - my skin usually needs a few days to fully recover. Best wishes.

    • @goow
      @goow  2 роки тому +1

      I tend to buy cool when it's an option just by personal preference. Most of the year I prefer the look of a cool undertone, except in the summer if I have a little self tan I prefer neutral. I come up just a tick on the cool side of neutral with the Sephora shade thing that they scan your face with. I wonder if they still do that. I had it done years ago.

    How do you find your correct shade in drug store foundation? I can not for the life of me figure out the shade ranges 😪

    • @goow
      @goow  3 роки тому +1

      Every brand is different which makes it even harder, and sometimes even within the same brand they aren't consistent. I start with looking it up on findation.com to see if it's on there. That usually gets me in the right ballpark. Then I go on the web site and look at the shade that it recommended for me and see if it seems reasonable. I'll usually pick what it says, though sometimes I'll tweak it one shade up or down if the descriptions or swatches don't look right. But it's always a gamble. That's why I do the swatches in my videos, so that hopefully if you've got a similar one you can at least see if this brand runs lighter or darker than something you're familiar with. I'm often wrong on what I pick online! It's hard.
