I love that we’re the same shade! Anytime I want to buy a foundation I always check to see if you have an upload of it, and check your shade! Screw Sephora’s shade matcher, lol. Shelly is my shade matcher!!🤣🤣
I do that too I watch videos of influencers that have similar skin tones. I love that Shelly always compares swatches with other brands. On line shade matching sucks
One of my shorter-term goals is to get swatches of every foundation I have added to a database where you can put anything you want side by side. I say shorter but with work and all... maybe by this time next year I'll have something like that started!
@@catnip4587 I wish I were the same skin tone!! I haven’t noticed any other influencer going into such depth on color matching and other interesting facts about makeup and skin care. I’ve learned so much from her videos.
I went to ulta today and felt several foundations on my arm… this felt really good! The It cosmetics nude glow looked BEAUTIFUL n felt amazing (on my arm) also LOVED the feel of lancome glow!!!
Yay! So happy to see this review! This is my new favorite foundation. I apply it with a brush and it looks beautiful! I have also used a velvet sponge to apply it and that also looks beautiful
Ohhhhh I just seen that Essence and Catrice just put out new foundations. They’re super cheap, and sound promising. Hope you take a look, and think about trying them out.
@@goow Also, Wet and Wild has a tinted moisturizer I believe... It would be awesome if you could check that one out as well. You're eye look in this video is beautiful BTW. Take care!
Loreal Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation is my holy grail!! It's so beautiful but I like it more for Winter months because it's hydrating and medium to full coverage. I like something lighter coverage for Spring and Summer.
@@carolroe9586 it's a stunning foundation if you enjoy hydrating, glowy, medium to full coverage foundations. It's absolutely beautiful and blends in flawlessly.
This is my favorite eyeshadow primer. I can use any eyeshadow pallette and I get mega pigment no matter what! Game changer! So, I can just imagine how the foundation is going to work. Im going to Ulta today and give it a try.
Shelly I used this and so true on paper i was like this is it,,,,, when i put it on my very dry skin , i looked like i had a mask on. It was awful, I had to wash it off.
I ordered this from Ulta, I am pretty excited to use it. I am treating it like a foundation though and not a moisturizer. So I still plan to use my current moisturizer and primer.
Thank you for that great review Shelly! You just saved me from purchasing this, I had high hopes for it but I have fine lines and I don’t want to accentuate them 🤣 beautiful eye look 🥰
Oh how I miss the original Urban Decay Naked Skin!!!!! Every new product just reminds me they are a fail for discontinuing it - Ulta website has people complain it’s nothing compared to One and Done, which I never used, so I don’t know who this is geared towards. Side note I love Benefit Gimme Brow shade 1 and got Elf brow wow in taupe and there’s no color comparison - looks gray and ashy - need a color dupe, and I won’t switch until I find an exact color match.
I’ve been so tempted by some of the reviews on this product, but happy to hear your experience. I no longer buy foundations/BB/CC unless you give it an A.
Can you tell I'm getting super annoyed by pricey brands making lofty claims and failing, while brands like Wet n Wild are blowing my mind??! Well, I'm not complaining about the great products, for sure - but I'd sure love some of the prestige brands to take note!
@@goow I've noticed that a lot of ppl who usually choose high end will also have some WnW in their stash. The company must make some good makeup, now & then.🤹♀️
Hi Shelley = oh dear I had high hopes for this one. I really liked the original naked foundation, but don't like the updated version on my skin (or the full coverage one). I have very dry skin with both rosacea and eczema, so a really hydrating formula is something I need. The UD complexion products have an extensive shade selection and the palest one looked fine on me, although it needed a smidge of colour correcting to make it a bit cooler for a perfect match (I'm really pink/white). I had hoped this would work and on camera it looked ok on you, but it really broke down and not in a good "faded gracefully" way. Perhaps a different primer? or using a sponge? Will wait to see an update. Best wishes.
I thought I had pretty dry skin, but I put this on my bare skin and it didn’t dry up or settle on my skin and didn’t feel tight or uncomfortable over time. So, maybe my skin is more dry combo.
Oh dear, well I'm not surprised. I know you did not put highlighter on either side of your nose so that's what I meant about the shine..Which I wrote in my comment on the other review,-however it was pertaining to this. Zat confusing? Sorry, I Tigress🐯.. OK, so..Don't know what's in that stuff but it is really luminous. Still you looked nice in it, particularly outdoors. Glad for you that you live in the the midst of nature like that.🌴🌱🥀🌳🍁🌻
Hi Shelly! There’s a couple foundations that work for you that don’t me but most do so I’m going to skip. I’m too old to make makeup work for me unless it’s already in my collection. Thanks for review! ❤️❤️❤️
The swatches were super useful thank you for doing that! I'm between shades 11NN and 20NN (i mix the two) in the stay naked foundation but i was unsure what to do cause the shade range was more limited in this one if i should go for the 10 or the 20 in this - but seeing it swatched next to 20 in the stay naked and it's quite a bit darker definitely tells me i should go with the lighter one! And if it's too light i can just darken it up with a tiny bit of the darker stay naked shade. that's a shame this didn't work out for you - I do want to give this a try for myself tho so i think i'm gonna go for it as i do like dewy foundations but i didn't wanna get two shades in case I didn't like it obviously! So yes thank you - swatches were super super helpful!!
I really enjoy your reviews and check your spread sheet often for shade matches. My skin isn't quite as dry as yours, pretty much on the normal with fine lines. I am just loving this foundation. I apply it with a damp sponge and it looks gorgeous. I do think you got the wrong color for yourself. 30 Light is what I have and I think you would have had a better experience with the right shade. Thanks again for your great content!
I had high hopes for this one.....you just never know 💟💟 I got the Mac Studio Sculpt when you did that review.....then I got the Face & Body after that review. I know I've found the 2 perfect ones for me but it sure as hell won't stop me from buying more!! That makes no sense......I just love anything make-up and always have but you've helped me more than you'll ever know 💚💚 Thank You💚💚
I feel like foundation is like clothing - there are so many combinations of variables that you need options to fit your look and your mood! Maybe today you want light coverage and matte, and tomorrow you want full coverage and matte, but the next day you still want full coverage but dewy, but then the next you want a satin finish. It's our foundation wardrobe!!
I like your hair here… I wish you didn’t cut it off and do that pink. But it is your hair. this just suits you more for your age range, that’s just only my opinion of course but the good thing is hair always grows back!
Having long thick hair for a decade... was time for something different and less work! :) I also don't follow any of those age "rules" and never will if I can avoid it! 😂
just purchased some color pop palettes, the new lil ones and the supershock one offs, a few of those too. can't wait to get eberything in mail. you need to check out the new shadows in a six pack. i got the "lyric" one and the forest palette and the nior one.
I will hope with all of my hope that it works better for you! It totally can. A lot of people are loving this one. Body chemistry and skin types are a wondrous and mysterious thing!
Thanks! I was going to get it but now I'll pass. I just purchased the new Catrice and have tried it a few times. I don't know how it'll work on dry skin, but Shelly, it works great on my 63-year-old normal skin despite all the wrinkles. xo
I'm ordering the Catrice right now!! Fingers crossed - I have good luck with Catrice complexion products. Hope you're staying well Marlene! I am so jealous of how you can pull of literally any wig look! It blows my mind!
I’m so glad you reviewed this! I’ve been waiting to see what you thought about it. That’s too bad it didn’t work well, I really thought it would w the way they describe it.
Hi Shelly did you know covergirl came out with a new foundation? I saw it in store at my local CVS not sure if it’s in other stores yet but it has a red top and it’s called outlast extreme wear 3 in 1 foundation and it’s suppose to be full coverage. I saw other reviews on it and everyone has liked it. I would love if you could do a review on it as well! 😁
You could try using a sponge to smooth it out after applying it. I almost always do that, no matter what the foundation is. I typically apply with a brush and then go over everything with with a sponge to work it into the skin and smooth out the texture. My skin is more oily, but I've started to get dry, flaky patches as I've gotten older, especially since I moved to Colorado. Also, I know a little is supposed to go a long way, but it might help to use a little more. It's hard to tell on camera, but it almost seemed like it was dragging a little as you blended it out, as if there wasn't enough product. I love your videos btw. I've only recently discovered your channel, and I'm so happy I did. I wish I would've found you sooner! You're a pleasure to watch and are a close shade match to me now that I've stopped tanning and gotten serious about sun protection!
Thanks, Jesse! I'm definitely going to try this one with a sponge to see if that helps. Bravo on the sun protection - it's the key to everything and life!! I have maybe 2 weeks a year when I use self tanner (really just to see something different, kind of like how I get bored with my hair). :-D so almost all of my foundations will be in my "winter" shade (aka my "50 weeks per year" shade) 😂
@@goow thanks for replying! Yeah, I've found that the brush/ sponge combo usually gives the best of both worlds. You can get the coverage of a brush and then the smooth finish of a sponge. I self-tanned for years after I stopped using tanning beds, but got sick of the maintenance. I'll sometimes get a spray-tan for special occasions or if I'm feeling extra pale, but it's just too much work to keep it looking nice. I do red light therapy at a local tanning salon (never UV tanning anymore), so spray-tans are discounted, otherwise I probably wouldn't bother.
Oh no! How disappointing, I thought I’d try this one but now I’ll wait to see if you update the grade. I certainly don’t have time to faff around with it in the morning, I can’t imagine it’s very mask friendly either. Your foundation reviews are my favourites! x
So interesting this didn’t work for you! I just got it recently and it has very quickly become my favorite foundation EVER! There are about 5-6 go-to dry skin gals on here that I always watch their foundation reviews because we almost always agree on makeup and you have been one of the ones I agree with the most on foundations. I actually searched for your review on this before I bought it but couldn’t find it…but now I’m happy I didn’t see it first because I probably wouldn’t have bought it after watching! Hahaha! It’s always so interesting when that ONE foundation works for someone but not another when they seem to agree on everything else and their skin seems to be so similar. I thought it looked beautiful on you in the video but I know it’s also about how it feels and I’m sure it looks different in real life and up close. Anyway thanks for the honest reviews as always though Shelly! Sorry this one didn’t work out for you…
Glad I watched your review and will take this one off my loves list. Cat hair and fuzzies all the time. 🤣 Riddicks long black hairs love to stick to much fave when I'm doing my makeup.
Omg, I've been waiting on YOUR review of this! Sorry it didn't work for you but thank you for saving me 30 bucks lol. Can you review the new wet n wild tinted moisturizer/cc cream? I'd love to know your thoughts. Happy 2021 to you!
I am getting eye bags under my eyes. I think it is from lack of sleep and stress from work. I don’t think my concealer is helping because it made my eyes look older. I’ve been avoiding foundations. The UD foundation packaging is attractive and good to know that it can blur pores but still dry down. I’ll skip, thank you for the review. At work, I have to wear face shield and mask and the breakouts continue. I wish covid is over, but now we are back in state of emergency. It is going to be difficult winter. Stay safe!💋
The pandemic fatigue is real!! My eyes have been droopy lately and I was thinking the same thing - that I think it's just stress catching up with me. :(
Almost anything without primer will get an F grade from me, so that is why I almost always wear primer (the exception being sheer skin tints). My skin generally sucks at foundation without primer.... but it's really all foundations - even my favorites.
Estée Lauder expanded the shade range of their Futurist Hydra Rescue foundation... the have 1C1 cool bone! I remember you saying that you didn’t have a perfect shade match... thought I’d let you know;)
@@goow They also released a Futurist Hydra Rescue primer a couple months ago. I haven’t tried it because it’s $40 and I like the foundation without a primer. But, I’m weak and will break sooner or later;)
I absolutely LOVE your eye look today! Of course it had to be ND Triochrome palette. It's gorgeous but I can't afford it. I'm hoping to find some multichromes that I can afford soon. I hope you're having a great week! Take care and big hugs, Kara
I bet all of these colors could be duped out because I only used the one multichrome color on the outer corners so I didn't even use it to its full potential 😂
Check out JD Glow or Sydney Grace for multichromes. I have some from each. They are just as gorgeous, have almost the exact same shades, amazing formulas, and are much more affordable 😉
@@mandiwolfe6631, thanks hon. I really appreciate it and those are two of the brands I was going to look at picking them up from. Thank you for letting me know though because I might not have known. I hope your week is going good. Take care and big hugs, Kara
I had the same luck with this foundation. Great shade match on my skin (20) but it sat on top of my skin and clung a bit to some dry spots on my chin and forehead 😞
Thanks for the review, I almost purchased after viewing the twenty something year olds. After your review I said it's a pass for me. I don't anything that will accentuate fine lines.
Hi Nataly! Here's my master list - there's a search box at the top right of the spreadsheet where if you search "Hydrating" it'll pull up only the foundations that I find to be hydrating :) geekoutofwater.com/foundation-fest/
APhiGrajah, for some reason, a few people here on YTube, equate shiny or dewy-"looking" (not truly dewy) with hydrating & moisturizing and therefore, good for dry skin. Usually these ppl are oily skinned or combo-oily and on their YT channel(s), after they try a foundation which appears radiant, luminous, dewy, or shiny, they Claim it's not good for oily skinned ppl but *perfect for dry skinned people* (I mean, who granted them a degree in "DrySkin"?). They don't even notice that the foundation is full of mica or some other pearlescent or glittery substance which is not in the least bit hydrating!! They just assume that if it looks shiny & wet it must be offering moisture and hydration. In reality, some of those foundations are extremely drying and they almost form a hard surface on your face which you could ice skate on!!! I feel like they should talk about what they know which is oily skin and leave dry skin advice to those people who actually specialize in it, (unless they are estheticians, or professionals) 😎😨😵🤗
Hey Shelly, not sure if you welcome requests but this review made me think of the Smashbox Halo Healthy Glow Tinted Moisturizer. It came out maybe last summer'ish, and I don't see a review from you. I know it's not new, but I'd love to see you try it out if you are looking for tinted moisturizers to review :))
Hi! Not about the video but about your hair. Is that purple a color by Privana (salon only product)? If not what is it? Did you need to bleach before applying? I've been going to the salon for a few years for my purple and trying to save some money. Wondering if you color is less expensive or at home, Thanks, Cheers, Lulu
Hi Lulu! I hope you're staying well! I had some Lockdown Courage earlier in the pandemic and bleached my hair twice (not the roots, just the lengths), and then my dye that I've repeated a few times now is a half and half mix of Arctic Fox Purple Rain (a red-undertone purple) and Poseidon (blue) to make a more blue-purple. The blue fades first on me, so this is about 3 weeks washed out in this video, and it usually fades to a bit of a magenta and eventually a dark-blonde-pink, and then I dye it again.
@@goow Thank you so much. That bleach think, freaks me out. But it's $250 at the salon to have it done with Privana pigments. She does bleach my hair but at least she know what she's doing! I have to get brave and do it at home.
@@ambergerhelper7852 I'm not sure. I haven't tried it myself. Another youtuber that I watch who also has dry skin really likes it so I wanted to see if Shelly could try it. She does a very thorough job of testing the foundations and I value her opinion.
I love how your nail polish matches the packaging. Also, eew at the end! I could expect that much oil and transfer from an oily skinned person but not a dry skinned girl. That is just disgusting. That started out pretty but ended up not so pretty at the end of the day.
I almost never have any bit of oil to my skin so it really weirds me out when I do. It's got to be the product separating because my skin literally doesn't make any.
I really love your eye look! It seems like the best part of this foundation is that the packaging matched your nails...super cute. I was thinking about this foundation too. But I don't want anything making my wrinkles look more prominent. I have a pretty normal skin type that veers dry. I'm still a little curious, but I think I'll wait a little. I just did a much needed foundation declutter and I'm fighting the urge to buy new ones😄. Good luck with the rest of the addition. Is it weird that I like to watch the swatch part, just so I can say "1C1 Cool bone" along with you?😁🤷🏽♀️💙
Hi Seveni! I have over 200 so I have a lot of favorites :) Here's my master list - basically anything that is a grade of A- or higher is something I reach for regularly! geekoutofwater.com/foundation-fest/
Thank you for this review Shelly. I'll give it a miss as I want a foundation that makes my skin look more even. At 43, I've realised my skin is dryer and more textured than I first thought. x

Money saved! Thanks for another comprehensive review!

I saw it in store at my local CVS not sure if it’s in other stores yet but it has a red top and it’s called outlast extreme wear 3 in 1 foundation and it’s suppose to be full coverage. I saw other reviews on it and everyone has liked it. I would love if you could do a review on it as well! 😁
I think that CG foundation works well for oily skin.
I love your eye look!!!! I picked up this foundation yesterday and will see how it goes-
You could try using a sponge to smooth it out after applying it. I almost always do that, no matter what the foundation is. I typically apply with a brush and then go over everything with with a sponge to work it into the skin and smooth out the texture. My skin is more oily, but I've started to get dry, flaky patches as I've gotten older, especially since I moved to Colorado. Also, I know a little is supposed to go a long way, but it might help to use a little more. It's hard to tell on camera, but it almost seemed like it was dragging a little as you blended it out, as if there wasn't enough product. I love your videos btw. I've only recently discovered your channel, and I'm so happy I did. I wish I would've found you sooner! You're a pleasure to watch and are a close shade match to me now that I've stopped tanning and gotten serious about sun protection!
Thanks, Jesse! I'm definitely going to try this one with a sponge to see if that helps. Bravo on the sun protection - it's the key to everything and life!! I have maybe 2 weeks a year when I use self tanner (really just to see something different, kind of like how I get bored with my hair). :-D so almost all of my foundations will be in my "winter" shade (aka my "50 weeks per year" shade) 😂
@@goow thanks for replying! Yeah, I've found that the brush/ sponge combo usually gives the best of both worlds. You can get the coverage of a brush and then the smooth finish of a sponge. I self-tanned for years after I stopped using tanning beds, but got sick of the maintenance. I'll sometimes get a spray-tan for special occasions or if I'm feeling extra pale, but it's just too much work to keep it looking nice. I do red light therapy at a local tanning salon (never UV tanning anymore), so spray-tans are discounted, otherwise I probably wouldn't bother.
Oh no! How disappointing, I thought I’d try this one but now I’ll wait to see if you update the grade. I certainly don’t have time to faff around with it in the morning, I can’t imagine it’s very mask friendly either. Your foundation reviews are my favourites! x
Very helpful review, as always! This was in my cart, but think I’m going to wait on it...
So interesting this didn’t work for you! I just got it recently and it has very quickly become my favorite foundation EVER! There are about 5-6 go-to dry skin gals on here that I always watch their foundation reviews because we almost always agree on makeup and you have been one of the ones I agree with the most on foundations. I actually searched for your review on this before I bought it but couldn’t find it…but now I’m happy I didn’t see it first because I probably wouldn’t have bought it after watching! Hahaha! It’s always so interesting when that ONE foundation works for someone but not another when they seem to agree on everything else and their skin seems to be so similar. I thought it looked beautiful on you in the video but I know it’s also about how it feels and I’m sure it looks different in real life and up close. Anyway thanks for the honest reviews as always though Shelly! Sorry this one didn’t work out for you…
Glad I watched your review and will take this one off my loves list. Cat hair and fuzzies all the time. 🤣 Riddicks long black hairs love to stick to much fave when I'm doing my makeup.
Omg, I've been waiting on YOUR review of this! Sorry it didn't work for you but thank you for saving me 30 bucks lol. Can you review the new wet n wild tinted moisturizer/cc cream? I'd love to know your thoughts. Happy 2021 to you!
Yep it's on the way (and I have high hopes!!)
I am getting eye bags under my eyes. I think it is from lack of sleep and stress from work. I don’t think my concealer is helping because it made my eyes look older. I’ve been avoiding foundations. The UD foundation packaging is attractive and good to know that it can blur pores but still dry down. I’ll skip, thank you for the review.
At work, I have to wear face shield and mask and the breakouts continue. I wish covid is over, but now we are back in state of emergency. It is going to be difficult winter.
Stay safe!💋
The pandemic fatigue is real!! My eyes have been droopy lately and I was thinking the same thing - that I think it's just stress catching up with me. :(
Hi Shelly, thanks again for the review. I always trust you. Lovely greetings from Germany 😘
I hope you're staying well in Germany, Sandra!
Your hair!! 😍😍 It's perfect!
And thanks for saving me from yet another disappointing foundation!
Thanks, Maggie!!
your skin look so smooth and dewy. But you should have tried one side with primer and one side without.
Almost anything without primer will get an F grade from me, so that is why I almost always wear primer (the exception being sheer skin tints). My skin generally sucks at foundation without primer.... but it's really all foundations - even my favorites.
Thanks for your review! I didn't think I would like this foundation and you proved me right. Also the Purito Sunscreen link is bad. FYI.
woohoo! Been waiting for this review from you!
I returned this. I found it to be shiny, but dry, at the same time. Odd.
Have you ever tried Merle Norman foundation? I used to love it years ago but wondered how it might be on more dry. & mature skin 😉
I haven't! I will check into the brand!
Estée Lauder expanded the shade range of their Futurist Hydra Rescue foundation... the have 1C1 cool bone! I remember you saying that you didn’t have a perfect shade match... thought I’d let you know;)
😮😮😮 Yesssss I need it!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!
@@goow They also released a Futurist Hydra Rescue primer a couple months ago. I haven’t tried it because it’s $40 and I like the foundation without a primer. But, I’m weak and will break sooner or later;)
Where did you find that? I looked on their website but it didn’t list that shade.
@@lisavoelker4643 It’s on Ulta’s website. They also released a Futurist Hydra Rescue primer a couple months ago! Happy Shopping;)
This is a dupe for the Boot #7, I forget the exact name of their product but they have something out just like this.
I absolutely LOVE your eye look today! Of course it had to be ND Triochrome palette. It's gorgeous but I can't afford it. I'm hoping to find some multichromes that I can afford soon. I hope you're having a great week!
Take care and big hugs, Kara
I bet all of these colors could be duped out because I only used the one multichrome color on the outer corners so I didn't even use it to its full potential 😂
Check out JD Glow or Sydney Grace for multichromes. I have some from each. They are just as gorgeous, have almost the exact same shades, amazing formulas, and are much more affordable 😉
@@mandiwolfe6631, thanks hon. I really appreciate it and those are two of the brands I was going to look at picking them up from. Thank you for letting me know though because I might not have known. I hope your week is going good. Take care and big hugs, Kara
Thanks for doing this review 👍 I had high hopes for this one but after your experience I am going to take a pass. Great video as always though!!
Team purple hair yeah!
Love a foundation review mid week! :) It didn't look too bad overall but like you said, a bit too much work. Good shade though. Stay safe Shelly. :)
I had the same luck with this foundation. Great shade match on my skin (20) but it sat on top of my skin and clung a bit to some dry spots on my chin and forehead 😞
Thanks for the review, I almost purchased after viewing the twenty something year olds. After your review I said it's a pass for me. I don't anything that will accentuate fine lines.
Ahhh - it’s so true. I’ve been pulled into the hype and purchased so many things that 20 year olds recommend only to be disappointed!
How did I miss this review?
Have you ever tried Crop bio serum foundation? I found a match at TJMaxx and love you it so far. I’m normal to dry 51 years old.
I haven't - I will have to find it!!
I use shade 30 which is a little dark for me in the winter
Any suggestions on hydrating foundations?! I really like this new ud foundation, but the marula oil sounds not cool for acne prone skin. 😢
Hi Nataly! Here's my master list - there's a search box at the top right of the spreadsheet where if you search "Hydrating" it'll pull up only the foundations that I find to be hydrating :) geekoutofwater.com/foundation-fest/
AH NO! I saw two good reviews and ordered this! I should have checked you first!
Hopefully you'll have better luck! It's entirely possible =D
Oh wow I am really surprised by your grade!
I usually agree with your foundation reviews. I'm sorry it didn't work for you Shelly.
Isn't it strange when some foundations market as hydrating but seem to be drying or cling badly to dry skin?? I've experienced that so many times
APhiGrajah, for some reason, a few people here on YTube, equate shiny or dewy-"looking" (not truly dewy) with hydrating & moisturizing and therefore, good for dry skin.
Usually these ppl are oily skinned or combo-oily and on their YT channel(s), after they try a foundation which appears radiant, luminous, dewy, or shiny, they Claim it's not good for oily skinned ppl but *perfect for dry skinned people* (I mean, who granted them a degree in "DrySkin"?). They don't even notice that the foundation is full of mica or some other pearlescent or glittery substance which is not in the least bit hydrating!! They just assume that if it looks shiny & wet it must be offering moisture and hydration. In reality, some of those foundations are extremely drying and they almost form a hard surface on your face which you could ice skate on!!!
I feel like they should talk about what they know which is oily skin and leave dry skin advice to those people who actually specialize in it, (unless they are estheticians, or professionals)
😎😨😵🤗
Hey Shelly, not sure if you welcome requests but this review made me think of the Smashbox Halo Healthy Glow Tinted Moisturizer. It came out maybe last summer'ish, and I don't see a review from you. I know it's not new, but I'd love to see you try it out if you are looking for tinted moisturizers to review :))
Oooh I think I missed that one! I need to look for it! Thanks, Tonya!
Hi! Not about the video but about your hair. Is that purple a color by Privana (salon only product)? If not what is it? Did you need to bleach before applying? I've been going to the salon for a few years for my purple and trying to save some money. Wondering if you color is less expensive or at home, Thanks, Cheers, Lulu
Hi Lulu! I hope you're staying well! I had some Lockdown Courage earlier in the pandemic and bleached my hair twice (not the roots, just the lengths), and then my dye that I've repeated a few times now is a half and half mix of Arctic Fox Purple Rain (a red-undertone purple) and Poseidon (blue) to make a more blue-purple. The blue fades first on me, so this is about 3 weeks washed out in this video, and it usually fades to a bit of a magenta and eventually a dark-blonde-pink, and then I dye it again.
@@goow Thank you so much. That bleach think, freaks me out. But it's $250 at the salon to have it done with Privana pigments. She does bleach my hair but at least she know what she's doing! I have to get brave and do it at home.
Can I just say, you look INCREDIBLE for 46!!!
Could u use your fav foundation and the tap this in for blurring. I had high hopes for this!!! Your makeup on point sis!!!!
I'll have to try that next time!! I'm going to hang on to it so I might as well find a use for it!
Going to pass on this one. Love your polish on your nails. ♥️
Any suggestions to cover small scars on my face from piercings I once had?
I wonder if a color corrector to spot conceal would work.
@@goow I’ll try it, thank you😊
I just went "augh!" so loud when you touched your forehead like that that Alexa asked me to repeat myself.
😂🤣
Do you think this would be better in bare skin? I’m so intrigued by it but disappointed by your results, which I trust. I have oily skin.
I'm going to try it that way next!
Can you try the MISSHA - MISA Choboyang BB Cream? You can find it on YesStyle. I would love to know your thoughts on it.
Is it like the Missha Perfect Cover? 🤔
@@ambergerhelper7852 I'm not sure. I haven't tried it myself. Another youtuber that I watch who also has dry skin really likes it so I wanted to see if Shelly could try it. She does a very thorough job of testing the foundations and I value her opinion.
@@christinunya72 It has some of the same ingredients. I love Missha Perfect Cover. I hope she tries it too. ☺️
those natasha danona palettes right now are 139-239.00 way outta my range!!!!
I love how your nail polish matches the packaging. Also, eew at the end! I could expect that much oil and transfer from an oily skinned person but not a dry skinned girl. That is just disgusting. That started out pretty but ended up not so pretty at the end of the day.
I almost never have any bit of oil to my skin so it really weirds me out when I do. It's got to be the product separating because my skin literally doesn't make any.
I really love your eye look! It seems like the best part of this foundation is that the packaging matched your nails...super cute. I was thinking about this foundation too. But I don't want anything making my wrinkles look more prominent. I have a pretty normal skin type that veers dry. I'm still a little curious, but I think I'll wait a little. I just did a much needed foundation declutter and I'm fighting the urge to buy new ones😄. Good luck with the rest of the addition. Is it weird that I like to watch the swatch part, just so I can say "1C1 Cool bone" along with you?😁🤷🏽♀️💙
LOL it has such a great cadence off the tongue - I totally get it!!
I wish I would have watched this before I bought this. My skin is dry and it doesn't work well at all.
What is your best foundation?
Hi Seveni! I have over 200 so I have a lot of favorites :) Here's my master list - basically anything that is a grade of A- or higher is something I reach for regularly! geekoutofwater.com/foundation-fest/
@@goow Great! Thank you so much for responding.❣️
Did it also cause problems with your concealer? It seems to be breaking up a bit as well.
Yep and I tried it one more time and still had trouble, so... no improvements.
Thank you for this review Shelly. I'll give it a miss as I want a foundation that makes my skin look more even.
At 43, I've realised my skin is dryer and more textured than I first thought. x
