    Hi, So nice to hear you about foundations for mature skins or dry.
    I Have a normal to combination skin sometimes dehydrated, my best is from NARS:
    SHEER GLOW
    it doesn't move on my skin (10-11 hours in place)
    Colors are suitables for my very fair skin with neutral undertone
    and it's very comfortable and not dry at all!

    Great, great review, Kiki. What's funny is after trying so many foundations, I've landed on the Vitalumiere Aqua...rught amount of coverage, not too dewy,it doesn't oxidize, doesn't sit in my pores or lines...B40 is a great match for me. I do have my eye on the Cle De Peau...

    Thank you for this! I also have trouble with shade matches as I am fair with muted yellow undertones. A lot of warm shades seem to be quite orange unfortunately. My best match has been Shiseido radiant lifting in 120 Ivory. I got a sample of the Kevyn Aucoin etherealist a few years ago and loved it so you’ve inspired me to look into picking this one up! Definitely underrated.

    • @TheHoodedLid
      @TheHoodedLid  Рік тому +1

      The KA is really lovely - not too dewy looking and very good shades. Look for their color wheel (it can be hard to find - it's often buried) that shows the undertones of each shade. They don't have a lot of shades, but they may have something that works for you!

    Thank you ever so much for helping me, I only wear Lisa Eldridge lipsticks thanks to you. My skin is similar in kind and colour to yours, and I'm an artist, a painter aged 70. With my observation may I suggest you look at colour "3C2 Pebble" in Estee Lauder Double Wear Sheer long wearing makeup? I think you'll be surprised by this match. All the shades in this video constantly lean a little too yellow on your arm. We have far more translucency and rose colour as the years pass. Few manufacturers sell our colour today.

And now I put a bit of light with a bit of dark, or a bit of pink and yellow, give it a mix, dot it all over and blend...and it works! 👍👍 also some that are too heavy cover and one that's too sheer, I mix them and have the nicest fresh skin look! 👍👍

    We have very similar skin tone and type (I'm 61) and Cle de Peau Radiant Cream Foundation is my favorite foundation out of the multitude of high end foundation brands I've tried. I also love and am currently using Cle de Peau The Foundation. I've purchased but haven't begun using their new cushion foundation. Cle de Peau foundations just work for me and the shade B10 is a perfect match for my skin.

      I feel ya! When talking $50 a bottle - thereabouts or more - I want to do a wear test before shelling out that cash! So many look good when first applied, then oxidize, transfer, get patchy or worse... and in-store looks different than sunlight. Sigh. I wish I had the time and money to spend, but as Kiki says, skin changes over the seasons too. I wish they had wear sample available over the internet so we could try them in real life!

    This was a great video. I’m like you in that I have such a hard time finding good shades - fair golden olive with surface redness (but I’m finding my red light is helping so much). It becomes so much more about shades rather than formula. I’m going to look at both the Reboot and the Prisme Libre. I don’t think you should keep foundations unless they serve a purpose for you. Otherwise, they’re just taking up space and making you feel like you have more than you need, even though you aren’t using a lot of what’s taking up space.

      I have fair to light olive skin so shade matching for me is almost always settling for something close but never perfect. Until the Fenty, I got my best shade match by following your videos. I still love my Charlotte Tillbury 4N, bit the Fenty is otherworldly. I so appreciate your videos. Good makeup really lifts my spirits and I’d given up until I found your channel.

    The CT Beautiful Skin was lovely when I first bought it, but, I kept buying other newbies. I wasn’t reaching for it as much as I experimented with other brands. It oxidized in the package even though I kept in a drawer/cool room/no windows. It also seemed to thicken. I found other foundations I enjoyed much better so recently tossed it. NARS Light Reflecting is a great formula and definitely a shade challenge. The Haus Labs Triclone shade I purchased in Winter is too light now of course. Haven’t bought a shade for Spring because I think it will be too full coverage for my preference this time of year. But, I love the ABH Luminous Skin shade I bought last year for Spring/Summer. I don’t think you liked it? But I found a perfect shade. It is lightweight, seamless and my absolute favorite. Always feel my best, but I think that also has to do with loving weather May-September. Try the Channel one more time. If you don’t like it, part ways. I think you did a great job of describing shades and performance!

      The ABH was okay - I tested it the same time as the Fenty came out and felt the formulas were very similar, but Fenty had a better shade for me.

      That was so informative, thank you! I struggle with shade too as a very fair neutral verging toward cool. They all call themselves Porcelain or Alabaster or Ivory, but it’s rare to find a base that actually comes close to that. They nearly all lean peach or yellow or pink and they’re invariably too dark. Nars is a lost cause for me. The closest I’ve found is Cle de Peau I10 but it’s the cost of a small family car per bottle sadly 😢 So since I don’t live near a make up counter, I just get the absolute lightest neutral in every formula as a rule of thumb and hope. I’d so love to try the Rituel de Fille but I can’t find it in the UK, which is maddening because it looks amazing on you!
      Have you tried Zelens foundations btw? They were doing the skincare makeup thing early on and they have a couple of formulas you *might* like though they’re not new…Youth Glow which is light to medium coverage and Age Control which is medium to full. They’re unshowy and reliable, but I admit the shade range is abysmal.
      By making constant mistakes I think I am getting better at working out what’s worth trying for me and what I should stay away from, *but* my latest regret IS the Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin .I should have known better; everyone loved her Airbrushed foundation too but it was like fast oxidizing glue on me. Maybe I just don’t suit her foundation formulas. 😂Thanks for another great video Kiki!

    Total foundation junkie here too and I am not a UA-camr . I have a problem . I have a light medium with pink undertones. So hard to find . Too orange with cool undertones for a lot of brands . I try color and I think they look good but don’t or I just don’t know . I look in my mirror and go outside and it looks different . I probably have over 40 foundations .

      I do the same - never a 'right' match and it varies week by week, indoor vs outdoor... UGH! I really have to throw out about half my collection (in order to make room for new purchases, lol) but it's damn expensive and time consuming. Why is foundation so hard???

  • @terfalicious
    @terfalicious Рік тому

    I wonder if the Tower 28 would work for you if applied half and half - one 'half dose' layer, let dry down, then apply the other 'half dose'? Of course if you're in a hurry, that wouldn't work, but it might for casual days? Would be interested in your results!

    I think I’m in the same boat as you with skin tone. I have warm ness in my body but my face has redness that I want to even out. I have historically gone with neutral foundation but lately have tried warm. However I am finding so far that the warm ones don’t do very well to cover up the redness so I need to either stick with neutral or go higher coverage o guess.

      Thank you - these are probably 12 years old and for all those years they were all I wore. I found them at a little shop on Montana Ave. in Santa Monica. I think they were simply artist made - not a big chain, mass produced earring. You could probably have them made. Mine were actually peridot and I lost a stone a few years ago when the hoop opened - I had a someone make the blue topaz for me to add to the hoops.

    I have the same exact issue finding a good shade. I have red cheeks but I have neutral peachy undertones. My perfect match is Chanel BD41 but only in the N1 foundation. I find that the Japanese brands offer very limited shade ranges and way too pinky. I am so mad at Cle de Peau because their formulation is stunning but their shades suck. I find most companies offer very little for medium tones, they go from 10 shades in light to 10 shades in tan or deep and 2 in medium. Makes me so mad
