Hi Allie! I love your foundation reviews! Would you mind zooming in during reviews? It’s a little hard to know what everything looks like from far away
Woo this looks so interesting!! Can you try the RCMA foundation soon? I know you said you would do it at some point but I’m super curious about it. Also you look beautiful as usual! Ily!!!
If you’re using it for the sunscreen benefits, you need to use at least a quarter teaspoon, or it won’t give you the protection mentioned in the packaging. If you’re sheering it out, you should use a sunscreen underneath. And, of course, reapply throughout the day. All sunscreens, tinted or not, are tested for efficacy with the same amount to get the SPF classification. Yes, tested, like all reputable cosmetic products are before being allowed in the market. No such thing as “clean” or “dirty” ingredients, just ingredients that may not work for specific people - like with having a nut allergy. Don’t let fear mongering marketing and conspiracy theories take advantage of you. A foundation, it looks really beautiful on you ❤️
@@mygirldarbythat’s a valid concern, but maybe based on a common misconception :) Phthalates are a group of chemicals (everything is a chemical!) with different uses and capabilities, and, a bit like mushrooms, some are hazardous for humans, some are absolutely safe. The ones that have aroused suspicions of being dangerous were not being used in cosmetics. Even so, out of an abundance of caution, two phthalates were also phased out from cosmetics in 2007. (Cosmetic regulations usually err on the side of extreme caution, there’s a video from Lab Muffin Beauty Science on that). So the phthalate currently used in cosmetics has been deemed safe, everything else deemed unsafe has been banned/restricted by legislation. A good source for this kind of information is the Eco Well. Jen is a science communicator and explains things in a very accessible way. She has a podcast where she mediates discussions about cosmetics with several experts in cosmetic formulation, toxicology, etc. super interesting and empowering for us as consumers so that we don’t get caught in the fear-mongering trap of marketing blanket statements, that cherry pick information in order to get us to “buy this instead of that”. Brands don’t want to kill us. They just want our money ;) Have a great day!
Finally! Some sane, eloquent, informed comments on UA-cam! I mostly just rolled my eyes at ignorant comments and remarks and never bothered to put down your kind of comments. Thank you for doing the work that needs to be done. :)
@@nisapl oh, that’s so sweet. I think anyone can get caught by these marketing shenanigans… I know I had lots of misconceptions because of marketing campaigns. Sometimes I feel even marketing people don’t know what they’re saying… it gets tough to know where to get our information, when brands try to pretend they’re so knowledgeable and science-y. Many people are not aware that, before being able to put a product out, brands have to follow rules and regulations put in place by authorities. That those regulations are based on studies and already do the job of banning actually dangerous ingredients and specify concentrations. Most people don’t understand that just because one ingredient shares the same name as another one, may not be the same thing or even be perfectly safe in different concentrations, for different purposes (parabens, phthalates, silicones, sulfates…). And also, if lots of products claim to be x-free, it starts to make people believe that x may be bad. Most people are not chemists, I for sure am not one. Just a curious soul who trusts science and is not afraid to acknowledge I don’t know stuff. I like to learn :) As things are, if just one person gets their critical thinking stimulated by my comment, I’ll be glad 😘
In addition, you shouldn’t mix this with sunscreens that contain avobenzone as uncoated zinc can cause it to degrade! I like makeup products that contain spf but since most tinted moisturizers contain mineral spf like titanium dioxide and zinc, and the only chemical UVA filter approved in the US is avobenzone… it’s not a great mix with US chemical sunscreens.
Also I love turtlenecks too! Sometimes people say I look and act like a grandma but I think they are so comfortable! I’m also wearing my first turtleneck of the season today!
there’s nothing more exciting than the first turtleneck of the season! i checked the weather every morning for the last 4 weeks waiting for the right temperature to put on a turtleneck haha 😂
Please keep using this tower 28 spf foundation! Maybe apply sunscreen underneath since it’s pretty much just foundation with spf in it and won’t offer enough protection alone so I’d love to see how you use spf underneath, then the spf foundation and maybe even an actual foundation over top
This is an interesting suggestion. I wear a chemical spf, then a tinted sunscreen with specifically iron oxide (which this is) and then I follow up with a tiny bit of foundation or something light (like Fenty Eaze Drops.) This layering of sunscreens is recommended for folks with melasma.
@@tugboatcaptainCC hey! They’ve found that zinc oxide and titanium dioxide can cause avobenzone to degrade (which is the only chemical UVA filter available in the US). If you’re using a chemical sunscreen with avobenzone with a spf makeup containing zinc/titanium, you might not be getting the protection you need. There are other UVA filters that are approved in Europe, Australia, etc. that play better with zinc.
@@sue8412 hi thanks for your comment I heard that too but did some research and also heard the same thing from another UA-cam that as long as you let each product dry down first it won’t affect the other sunscreens efficacy
@@sue8412 it also makes me think if that were a bit concern then foundations wouldn’t contain spf but I feel they do add it in some foundations because we are technically supposed to let all products we apply beforehand to dry down and sink in properly before applying so I believe as long as we wait at least 20 mins we should be okay
i’m excited for this review because i’m not a full coverage girl, and i loveeee that this works for sensitive skin and it has sunscreen. i have yet to be disappointed with any of the tower 28 products that i’ve purchased myself. ♥️♥️♥️
Tower 28 is quickly becoming one of my top 3 favorite makeup brands. I have yet to try something from them that I haven’t immediately put in my everyday makeup bag! This sunscreen blew me away! I can’t wear chemical sunscreen anywhere near my eyes, but every mineral sunscreen I’d tried was so thick and gross feeling on my skin. Even the tinted versions never blended in all the way and I always looked gray because of my olive skin tone. The first time I tried Tower 28’s tinted sunscreen I almost cried I was so happy!
I bought this and tried it today. So far I’m REALLY impressed. I have tried almost every skin ring out there and this is one so far is amazing. It didn’t melt off my face in the humid climate I live in and that’s great. I have sensitive skin and love how it’s unscented and approved by the National Eczema Association. I used my usual SPF underneath bec this is not enough coverage alone. I highly recommend it if you’re into skin tints.
Hoping that people remember to still wear their SPF under this product! Just because it’s a sunscreen doesn’t mean people will use enough to actually protect their skin. 💕
If you use the amount they recommend then you do have the SPF stated though. Just like with normal sunscreens. If you use less than the amount they tested with then you don't get the promised SPF coverage.
I’ve been using all week. Love it for work, especially because I wear a mask for 12 hours and it has not made my skin break out. Have really been loving this product !
So excited to try this foundation! From all the reviews I've seen lately, it's going to be one I really like. I wish I could wear turtle neck shirts, but they make me feel so claustrophobic, like I can't get a deep breath and start to panic...
I also can't because of claustrophobia but they don't look nice on me anyway because I have biggish boobles. So it ends up either creating a monoboob situation. If you have a long neck they can also make the distance between your face and breasts look much too far and creates an illusion of very droopy girls
Thank you for mentioning the lack of smell! It looks so natural and wore so well! Can you please review the ND Mini Metropolis? I am dying to see that teal green / brown combo on you. Ok it’s not a foundation but just thought I’d throw it out there. 💚
I've loved tower 28 for quite some time now so I'm super excited for this launch!😍 Just disappointed that it's going to be a while before it launches in Canada (though I'm assuming it's because we have more regulations and rules regarding sunscreen products). I love tinted moisturizer products with a sheer/light coverage.
Is it bad that I've never even heard of Tower 28? Knowing that this is certified for eczema is really interesting to me since I suffer from it around my eyes. I'm super interested in trying this now. For anyone else who suffers from this I find the it cosmetics your skin but better foundation to be exceptional. It's a skin care base that floats pigments so it's very gentle in your skin and actually helps to improve it over time. It's my ride or die.
@@ceciliagovea thank you! I'll be sure to check it out. I have definitely noticed that setting sprays that have more alcohol in them drives my eczema crazy and I've had to resolve to just using the Caudalie grapewater spray to set my make up lately.
Day 2 of wearing this and I love it. Was out all day at a theme park and usually get bad face sunburns and got nothing with just this on and setting powder!
Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the RCMA foundation. I am skeptical of Tower 28, as i am with any "clean" brands. So many of them seem to include preservatives on their "bad ingredients" list, which of course is ridiculous (and potentially dangerous) for products that will be applied to the skin/face. I have also seen some comments that various products seem to have gone bad quickly.
Allie can you do a few updated makeup for glasses wearers look? I struggle with makeup with glasses and need some inspiration! This stuff is right up my ally (errrr.... Allie 😂). Love the no-makeup-makeup look. I'll have to try it! Can't wait for your Sephora sale video! 😍
I can’t wait until it’s in the Canadian Sephora stores!! I’m very excited it’s good for eczema prone skin because I struggle a lot with that! Thanks for reviewing Allie, love you ❤️❤️
I haven't tried mine yet since it got sent to my house in the U.S and I am currently back home in Iceland but I cannot wait to try out mine!! I have VERY dry skin with pretty mild rosacea and eczema so I'm hoping this will be tailor made for me!
If you actually want sun protection, please wear spf underneath it. More than likely we don't apply enough of the makeup to actually reach the spf 30. Just watch almost any dermatologist on youtube or Instagram 😃
Wish you’d applied this like an actual sunscreen. Applied as a foundation you’ll never get enough to provide the SPF protection listed on the bottle. I’m so curious what this would look like worn as a sunscreen throughout the day.
The first time I watched Allie she used bronzer as her transition color, I tried to do the same and haven't been back since. I always use my bronzer as my transition color now no matter what eye shadow look I want to do! Thanks Allie, love yaaa ❤️
Allie, I totally agree that this lives up to the hype I’ve seen. I had a special feeling about this product when it released and then found out it met my criteria in a tinted sunscreen, so I ordered as soon as I could! I’m happy to report that for my dry, rosacea-prone skin, I am loving wearing this!! I also keep hearing reassuring, positive feedback from others, which is also more reason to love. I love Tower28 & am all for this new release of their’s!! Looked great on you as well. Love you, Allie❣️❣️ PS-❤️ turtleneck season!! 😉😉
It's been sitting in my sephora cart since launch but, I wanted to wait for more reviews before purchasing. I'm a bit disappointed that it didn't cover the redness better, I have really red cheeks from broken capillaries and I love light-med coverage with SPF for daily wear however, if it's not going to even out my redness then I'm a little torn. I'm wondering if it's buildable so, I can add a bit more to my cheeks. I'm surprised you didn't try building? Usually you do. But, thanks for the review, the rest was very helpful and the fact it still looked so fresh after 10 hours has me wanting to purchase it even more! And it being hydrating sounds like a great winter SPF, though I'd most likely still wear a higher SPF underneath, 30 is on the fence for my liking but, I do love that it's mineral sunscreen!
The It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Foundation is another great option. Either that or their CC cream. Both have good coverage and are extremely gentle on sensitive skin. I get eczema and I use these products and love them and have for the last couple of years.
@@Mar-velousMarlenak8 I use their CC cream as well as their bye bye foundation, I thought the your skin but better didn't contain spf? I was very interested in trying it out when it released but, remember being disappointed it didn't contain their usual high SPF. I'll have to look again, perhaps I was mistaken. But you're right, their CC is so full coverage and looks beautiful on the skin. I have so many favorites, I don't know why I continue to look for new ones while I have way too many on and in my vanity already, lol, I may have a slight problem 😅
@@aliciaohara8794 love the missha perfect bb cream but, I need to buy a shade lighter, I bought 23 thinking I could make it work better than 21 but, I was wrong, it oxidizes a bit too dark. I still wear it when I'm going for a less dewy look, I do want to try their cushion foundations though. I've heard purrito is really good but, I keep forgetting about it, thanks for the reminder! Xx
I think this is a beautiful product but I feel labeling it as a sunscreen could be confusing for some people. Since most people apply foundation minimally, they won’t be getting the stated spf because you have to apply a lot of product to reach the stated spf. I wish they just called this a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen instead.
Yes, I’d love to see the RCMA! I also happen to have similar shades as you for foundation, so I maaaaay be a little biased. I’ve been eyeing it up since Wayne reviewed it.
I’m going to try it out today and just spot conceal with a hydrating concealer under my eyes maybe the nyx born to glow, milk under eye brightener which is new and gorgeous, the nyx total cover one drip concealer which I found because of you from an old video and i loveee it so much, rose inc concealer, or the new nyx bare with me concealer and the nars soft matte concealer to spot conceal on my face!!! Yes I’ve been shopping lol 😩🤦🏻♀️ colourpop has come out with ANOTHER launch lol it’s called lucky penny and it called my name so I ordered the entire collection haha
Wow! Your complexion is flawless! The foundation is absolutely invisible and it gives the impression that you have nothing on the face. What's especially impressive is the fact that it just looked better and better as the day progressed. Adore your turtleneck! I'm a turtleneck lover, too and now that I am (much) older, it doesn't make me mad that they cover up the sagging neck - lol. I am also totally enthralled with my subscription to your channel!! I think you are my long lost daughter, as everything you like, I do, too - we have the same skin color and type and I'm a neutral eye palette devotee and a confirmed lipstick girl, also. xoxo from Texas
Hi Allie, Hope you're having a lovely weekend so far 💕! I've never heard of this brand living in the Northern Ireland 🇮🇪. I really liked how this looked on you when you first applied it 😊 and throughout the day still looking good. I get oily in the t-zone area as well and it is good to know when you touched up with powder how fresh it was again. Thank you so much ❤!
Hi there, I live in England and Cult Beauty stock Tower 28 products. They're an online store. I hope that this helps. By the way, you might have to keep checking back with them as it may be a week or 2 for them to get stock. Take care
Dear Allie, I love your videos. I fallow you since Spain. And although I am older than I learn so many things and tips from you. My skin is dry so could you do a video using creamy products? I will appreciate it.
I would love to see you review the new Beauty Blender drop foundation and the new NYX face and body tinted serum concealer! I love your videos and have been a subscribers for several years now and am so happy for how far you have came with your channel and your make-up bags!
This look is gorgeous and exactly what I do for an everyday look! I have the tower28 tinted sunscreen in my cart for the sale so I was happy to see you review it!
So sorry, it’s to sheer, not enough sunscreen applied as per FDA guidelines(DON’T RELY ON YOUR FOUNDATION ALONE), too dewy(greasy)finish despite post powder application, and it transfers(not mask friendly.) I observed Allie’s lower cheeks lost coverage. This tint for me didn’t work out, especially on my combination skin. Maybe, the RCMA foundation will work instead🤷🏻♀️! Looking forward to see that review.
The Tower 28 is literally the first tinted sunscreen I’ve ever used and I really like it, in a YT video and in the comments at Sephora I saw mixed reviews on this but I ordered it anyways and I am glad that I did I believe the reason why women were saying that it was greasy or too greasy was because they were using too much treating it like a foundation rather than an SPF so I made a comment and said to try it again and only use it like a moisturizer. It’s awesome I can put this on and my eyebrows I have to do my eyebrows no matter what 🤣 I use 30 PCH? I haven’t tried the foundation by Tower 28 yet but it’s nice that I can run an errand without having to put foundation on and powder 😂🤪 great look
Was wondering about this one … have combo very sensitive skin .. will definitely pick up at upcoming Sephora Rouge sale … thanks for the review and your options!
oh sweet! I was looking at that product the other day. I like that it's tinted, I like that there's sunscreen (30, not 15 too!), and I like that it's American-made. In theory it's great and now I can get your thoughts too
Ahhh I just saw the Tower 28 tint online today and I got so excited! I've been having some clear skin days, but my skin is still scarred from over the years and have been wanting a little bit of coverage so I'm curious how it would work for me and how it would hold with a face mask since I wear one to work all day. I have super oily skin, so it's promising that you said it didn't get too dewy throughout the day as most tints do that to me too. Thank you for the review!
This sunscreen foundation looks great! I love turtlenecks too, but I have almost no neck, so it always looks like they are choking me to death!🤣🤣🤣 looking forward to the RCMA review!!!💜
I was on the fence about getting this foundation during the upcoming VIB sale. We have identical skin, super light, combination, sensitive and a little acne issues so I’m sold!! Great review 😊
Oh man I’m usually the same shade as you or one shade lighter and I got 15 Melrose and haven’t tried it yet so I’m hoping it’s a good match for me since you’re using 10 😩
I put this in my Sephora cart this morning. I’m looking around on UA-cam for reviews on it. I hate regular sunscreen, AND I have facial eczema, so I’m super excited about this. I’m hoping you like it! (I’m just starting the video, so haven’t seen your opinion yet.)
Oh, it is the moisturizer you through me off when you said foundation I’m a dork but yes the #30 peach with yellow undertone was a good pick for me and maybe even 1 more # down? Or maybe not, maybe because it evened out my complexion big time 😀 I love it and if I do wear it as a foundation I’ll put just a little bit of setting powder in my T~Zone
I love turtlenecks too but don’t get to wear them as much as I used to. We moved from somewhere with 4 true seasons to somewhere with a very short winter. That foundation really suits you and your vibe. Don’t know if Tower 28 is available in Australia
I wish you would do more PR unpacking on UA-cam and try some of those products. Also I think you did a unboxing on Instagram and you open some black and green brushes but I can’t recall the name of them, could you please let me know the name of them. Thank you so much I love all your videos Allie♥️
This may be an unpopular opinion but I can't wear traditional turtlenecks it feels like I'm getting choked. If it's a slouchy turtleneck I can do those but I can't even do necklaces that are too small.
This is off topic slightly, but I don’t understand how popular brands like Tower28 and Ilia can make claims about their products protecting against blue light, but when Valkyrae does it, it’s a huge controversy. I haven’t heard Tower28 or any other brand claiming to protect against blue like get a fraction of the hate Valkyrae has gotten. It doesn’t add up.

I can’t wait until it’s in the Canadian Sephora stores!! I’m very excited it’s good for eczema prone skin because I struggle a lot with that! Thanks for reviewing Allie, love you ❤️❤️
I haven't tried mine yet since it got sent to my house in the U.S and I am currently back home in Iceland but I cannot wait to try out mine!! I have VERY dry skin with pretty mild rosacea and eczema so I'm hoping this will be tailor made for me!
I'd love if you could update this comment after you've used it. I'd love to hear your opinion
Yes!!! I've been waiting for this!!! Thank you for getting to it so fast! Love you! 💜
Also, your braid is so cute!
If you actually want sun protection, please wear spf underneath it. More than likely we don't apply enough of the makeup to actually reach the spf 30. Just watch almost any dermatologist on youtube or Instagram 😃
If it recommends an amount to use for your face and you use that amount then you get the SPF that's stated. Same with normal sunscreen.
@@julieme7927 nobody uses that much foundation unless they are stuck in 2017 and are doing the hundred layers challenge lol.
JulieMe. Yes, when used properly the tower 28 is all that’s needed , I went to school for this 😀
Ohhhhhh it looks beautiful!!! Been dying to try this!!! It looks amazing on everybody I’ve seen so far!!!!
Wish you’d applied this like an actual sunscreen. Applied as a foundation you’ll never get enough to provide the SPF protection listed on the bottle. I’m so curious what this would look like worn as a sunscreen throughout the day.
Ahhh just from the thumbnail picture I can tell that you’ve enjoyed this product 🤩🤩
The first time I watched Allie she used bronzer as her transition color, I tried to do the same and haven't been back since. I always use my bronzer as my transition color now no matter what eye shadow look I want to do! Thanks Allie, love yaaa ❤️
Your skin looks amazing pretty lip colour
Allie, I totally agree that this lives up to the hype I’ve seen. I had a special feeling about this product when it released and then found out it met my criteria in a tinted sunscreen, so I ordered as soon as I could! I’m happy to report that for my dry, rosacea-prone skin, I am loving wearing this!! I also keep hearing reassuring, positive feedback from others, which is also more reason to love. I love Tower28 & am all for this new release of their’s!! Looked great on you as well. Love you, Allie❣️❣️
PS-❤️ turtleneck season!! 😉😉
Thank you for all your beautiful works, staying beautiful 😍
It's been sitting in my sephora cart since launch but, I wanted to wait for more reviews before purchasing. I'm a bit disappointed that it didn't cover the redness better, I have really red cheeks from broken capillaries and I love light-med coverage with SPF for daily wear however, if it's not going to even out my redness then I'm a little torn. I'm wondering if it's buildable so, I can add a bit more to my cheeks. I'm surprised you didn't try building? Usually you do. But, thanks for the review, the rest was very helpful and the fact it still looked so fresh after 10 hours has me wanting to purchase it even more! And it being hydrating sounds like a great winter SPF, though I'd most likely still wear a higher SPF underneath, 30 is on the fence for my liking but, I do love that it's mineral sunscreen!
The It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Foundation is another great option. Either that or their CC cream. Both have good coverage and are extremely gentle on sensitive skin. I get eczema and I use these products and love them and have for the last couple of years.
@@Mar-velousMarlenak8 I use their CC cream as well as their bye bye foundation, I thought the your skin but better didn't contain spf? I was very interested in trying it out when it released but, remember being disappointed it didn't contain their usual high SPF. I'll have to look again, perhaps I was mistaken. But you're right, their CC is so full coverage and looks beautiful on the skin. I have so many favorites, I don't know why I continue to look for new ones while I have way too many on and in my vanity already, lol, I may have a slight problem 😅
Simply.blair reviewed this and I'm pretty sure she was able to build it up a bit. ~ Laura
Have you tried the Missha bb cream or the purito cica clearing bb cream? Both cover my redness so well!
@@aliciaohara8794 love the missha perfect bb cream but, I need to buy a shade lighter, I bought 23 thinking I could make it work better than 21 but, I was wrong, it oxidizes a bit too dark. I still wear it when I'm going for a less dewy look, I do want to try their cushion foundations though. I've heard purrito is really good but, I keep forgetting about it, thanks for the reminder! Xx
I can't wait to see both foundations!! Haha ❤️
Wow I love it! Looks amazing on you! Really hope it becomes available in Canada! 🤞🏼
Yay an upload day! 😄 love you Allie! This foundation looks so good on you! Hope you have a great weekend!
I know everyone loves pumps, but i love a squeeze tube for foundation
I think this is a beautiful product but I feel labeling it as a sunscreen could be confusing for some people. Since most people apply foundation minimally, they won’t be getting the stated spf because you have to apply a lot of product to reach the stated spf. I wish they just called this a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen instead.
Yes, I’d love to see the RCMA! I also happen to have similar shades as you for foundation, so I maaaaay be a little biased. I’ve been eyeing it up since Wayne reviewed it.
I’m going to try it out today and just spot conceal with a hydrating concealer under my eyes maybe the nyx born to glow, milk under eye brightener which is new and gorgeous, the nyx total cover one drip concealer which I found because of you from an old video and i loveee it so much, rose inc concealer, or the new nyx bare with me concealer and the nars soft matte concealer to spot conceal on my face!!! Yes I’ve been shopping lol 😩🤦🏻♀️ colourpop has come out with ANOTHER launch lol it’s called lucky penny and it called my name so I ordered the entire collection haha
Wow! Your complexion is flawless! The foundation is absolutely invisible and it gives the impression that you have nothing on the face. What's especially impressive is the fact that it just looked better and better as the day progressed. Adore your turtleneck! I'm a turtleneck lover, too and now that I am (much) older, it doesn't make me mad that they cover up the sagging neck - lol. I am also totally enthralled with my subscription to your channel!! I think you are my long lost daughter, as everything you like, I do, too - we have the same skin color and type and I'm a neutral eye palette devotee and a confirmed lipstick girl, also. xoxo from Texas
Hi Allie, Hope you're having a lovely weekend so far 💕! I've never heard of this brand living in the Northern Ireland 🇮🇪. I really liked how this looked on you when you first applied it 😊 and throughout the day still looking good. I get oily in the t-zone area as well and it is good to know when you touched up with powder how fresh it was again. Thank you so much ❤!
Hi there, I live in England and Cult Beauty stock Tower 28 products. They're an online store. I hope that this helps. By the way, you might have to keep checking back with them as it may be a week or 2 for them to get stock. Take care
@@hazelt9953 Thank you appreciate the information and advice.
Dear Allie, I love your videos. I fallow you since Spain. And although I am older than I learn so many things and tips from you. My skin is dry so could you do a video using creamy products? I will appreciate it.
I would love to see you review the new Beauty Blender drop foundation and the new NYX face and body tinted serum concealer! I love your videos and have been a subscribers for several years now and am so happy for how far you have came with your channel and your make-up bags!
This look is gorgeous and exactly what I do for an everyday look! I have the tower28 tinted sunscreen in my cart for the sale so I was happy to see you review it!
So sorry, it’s to sheer, not enough sunscreen applied as per FDA guidelines(DON’T RELY ON YOUR FOUNDATION ALONE), too dewy(greasy)finish despite post powder application, and it transfers(not mask friendly.) I observed Allie’s lower cheeks lost coverage. This tint for me didn’t work out, especially on my combination skin. Maybe, the RCMA foundation will work instead🤷🏻♀️! Looking forward to see that review.
thanks for the detailed review.
Love you and your videos Allie!
The packaging of that Tower 28 sunscreen reminds me of Flower Beauty’s Blush Bombs. 😆 So much!
Another great video! I also LOVE turtle necks, if I could and not look crazy during the summer months I would wear them always❤
a bones day and an allie upload day 🐶
Thanks for the awesome reviews! Yes, the RCMA next please!
I really want to try this next! I’ve been living for the light coverage lately
I’m so excited to try this. I’ve been watching every review on it!!
The Tower 28 is literally the first tinted sunscreen I’ve ever used and I really like it, in a YT video and in the comments at Sephora I saw mixed reviews on this but I ordered it anyways and I am glad that I did I believe the reason why women were saying that it was greasy or too greasy was because they were using too much treating it like a foundation rather than an SPF so I made a comment and said to try it again and only use it like a moisturizer. It’s awesome I can put this on and my eyebrows I have to do my eyebrows no matter what 🤣 I use 30 PCH? I haven’t tried the foundation by Tower 28 yet but it’s nice that I can run an errand without having to put foundation on and powder 😂🤪 great look
I saw this and immediately bought it. I've been wanting to try this brand so bad!
Was wondering about this one … have combo very sensitive skin .. will definitely pick up at upcoming Sephora Rouge sale … thanks for the review and your options!
I am anxious to hear about the RCMA as well!!
woww i didn’t know that much abt tower 28 as a brand, i wanna try this so bad!
Perfect timing I was looking at sephora app think if it was good or not. Been reaching more for tinted foundations. Thank you for the review.
oh sweet! I was looking at that product the other day. I like that it's tinted, I like that there's sunscreen (30, not 15 too!), and I like that it's American-made. In theory it's great and now I can get your thoughts too
I have yet to try this brand. Been interested in this particular product and the blushes!
I'm dying to see the RCMA foundation review. I love a lot of the same products that you do and we have the same skin and undertones.
Ahhh I just saw the Tower 28 tint online today and I got so excited! I've been having some clear skin days, but my skin is still scarred from over the years and have been wanting a little bit of coverage so I'm curious how it would work for me and how it would hold with a face mask since I wear one to work all day. I have super oily skin, so it's promising that you said it didn't get too dewy throughout the day as most tints do that to me too. Thank you for the review!
I'm in a similar boat. 😩 I was excited to try this but I'm not thrilled about having to apply concealer to cover up my hyperpigmentation.
Thank you for testing this; I was wondering about this tinted sunscreen.
This will work for me for sure!!! It’s going on my wish list along with tower 28 lip oils :)
This sunscreen foundation looks great! I love turtlenecks too, but I have almost no neck, so it always looks like they are choking me to death!🤣🤣🤣 looking forward to the RCMA review!!!💜
I was on the fence about getting this foundation during the upcoming VIB sale. We have identical skin, super light, combination, sensitive and a little acne issues so I’m sold!!
Great review 😊
I love how you do check ins your the best 🤗
I haven't tried this yet but have same skin type as you. Thanks for the review!
I use the same shade and I really love how it looks!
Thanks for this review. Looking for to trying this tinted moisturizer.
Thank you for trying this, it looks great. I however cannot stand stickiness so if even after powdered you can feel it sticky it’s a no from me.
Oh man I’m usually the same shade as you or one shade lighter and I got 15 Melrose and haven’t tried it yet so I’m hoping it’s a good match for me since you’re using 10 😩
I put this in my Sephora cart this morning. I’m looking around on UA-cam for reviews on it. I hate regular sunscreen, AND I have facial eczema, so I’m super excited about this. I’m hoping you like it! (I’m just starting the video, so haven’t seen your opinion yet.)
I wanna see your review on the rcma foundation and the Lisa Eldridge seamless foundation 🙌
Hey sweetie, Random question: are your makeup bags likely to be restocked any time? Love the look of them! Thanks for another amazing video xXx
YES I have been waiting for the medium bag to go back in stock 🥺
Yes! Restock before Christmas!
Please try the RCMA Foundations
I love tower 28! I discovered it on Sephora!
Oh, it is the moisturizer you through me off when you said foundation I’m a dork but yes the #30 peach with yellow undertone was a good pick for me and maybe even 1 more # down? Or maybe not, maybe because it evened out my complexion big time 😀 I love it and if I do wear it as a foundation I’ll put just a little bit of setting powder in my T~Zone
You should try the new joah foundation. It’s amazing!!!
Looks so pretty!! Can't wait to try it!
Congrats for 750k !! ❤❤❤❤❤
I would also like to hear how you like the RCMA foundation.
I love turtlenecks too but don’t get to wear them as much as I used to. We moved from somewhere with 4 true seasons to somewhere with a very short winter. That foundation really suits you and your vibe. Don’t know if Tower 28 is available in Australia
Is it your summer there? My nephew and his family are in Sydney since April.
I wish you would do more PR unpacking on UA-cam and try some of those products. Also I think you did a unboxing on Instagram and you open some black and green brushes but I can’t recall the name of them, could you please let me know the name of them. Thank you so much I love all your videos Allie♥️
This may be an unpopular opinion but I can't wear traditional turtlenecks it feels like I'm getting choked. If it's a slouchy turtleneck I can do those but I can't even do necklaces that are too small.
Same.
Same here. I start to panic if something is that tight around my neck. I love a slouchy neck sweater.
I agree. No turtlenecks for me.
I feel like I’m being choked too, and I always got foundation on them.
This is off topic slightly, but I don’t understand how popular brands like Tower28 and Ilia can make claims about their products protecting against blue light, but when Valkyrae does it, it’s a huge controversy. I haven’t heard Tower28 or any other brand claiming to protect against blue like get a fraction of the hate Valkyrae has gotten. It doesn’t add up.
Can you test the Lisa Eldridge foundation?? 🙂🙂
Which do you prefer, that one or the nars?
I know the ColourPop Tinted Moisterizer doesn't have SPF, but I'm curious how the two compare.
Being a sunscreen, should we wait the 15-20 minutes before applying our makeup? I know you were doing a video for us, but do you recommend that?
The amount that you would need to use this as your only sunscreen would be substantial. I would recommend an spf underneath😉❤
Would love to know how this preforms on dry skin the likes to flake and what the relative level of coverage is. It's so hard to tell on camera lol
Can’t wait to see the rcma foundation review!
