    I just turned 60! and these foundations look beautiful on mature, slightly dry skin. This is a great video, very informative. The only one I haven't tried is the Shiseido but it's on my list lol. I use prescription Tretinoin so I do get some surface dehydration at times, but nothing that interferes with my makeup. I use Drunk Elephant's Protini moisturizer which takes care of the dryness. It all begins with good, consistent skincare... that's your foundation's best friend!!

  • @hannahjane8275
    @hannahjane8275 3 роки тому +2

    the shiseido foundation is my favorite formula i have ever tried, but not just that, it’s the most perfect shade match i’ve had. i use 130 opal. too many foundations are too yellow for me, or too pink, and i’m someone who is very fair, so if they do, do ‘neutral’, it’s straight white paste. i still have color.
    my best shade match has been fenty in 120, but literally zero of the formulas of fenty foundations have worked for me - they all end up clinging to dry patches after a couple months. it was so hard because it was my best color match, but i finally found an equal shade match in the shiseido AND it’s the best formula i have.
    i also own the make up for ever reboot & i love the formula. but i would like a closer to neutral tone, and then it would be perfection.

    • @AmandaZ

      @hannahjane8275 3 роки тому

      @@AmandaZ definitely try it out in 130! it's a great neutral tone. i was nervous when i chose to buy it because it's on the pricier side for what i would typically be willing to spend on foundation, but after getting it... it's the only holy grail foundation i've had. it's 100% worth it.

    I have dry more mature skin and so the more moisturizing formulas are my preference.

    1. Westman Atelier vital skin foundation stick
    2. Typology tinted serum
    3. Chanel Les Beiges water fresh tint
    I also use a lot of concealer as foundation.

    This was great, having them demonstrated made a real impact with your descriptions. Affordable version please! My skin tends to become sensitive to liquid products very quickly. So I rarely get to use even one liquid foundation before it expires. That's way too frustrating for me to use prestige products on such a large area. Although your recommendations hold a lot of weight imo. ♡Be well and happy!

    Great and helpful video, Amanda, as are all your videos! Love this comparison of foundations and would absolutely love an affordable foundation comparison. While I'm considerably older than you (and pretty much all the channels I subscribe to), I take away so much, because I know when to adjust my skincare/primer/base for that particular foundation, be it dewy, pore refining etc. You actually go into detail about the formula, wear time etc., which is awesome. Even us older gals' skin changes, and we want to stay informed on the new technology and products to keep us looking pretty and put together. Keep up the great work!

    I always go back to luminous silk cause I can “depend” on it, but this year I discovered the new Givenchy skin-caring foundation and love it! I can only use it in winter though as it’s way too moisturizing in the summer heat. It gives exactly that - a skin care-like glow, or as I like to think of it, Irina Shayk skin!

    The only one I’ve tried from your recommendations is the It Cosmetics. I have a love/hate relationship with it. Reasons are because I absolutely adore how it looks on me and I’ve found the perfect shade for me but it doesn’t wear well. 3 hours later doesn’t look as good as it did when first applied. If I use a setting spray it does last on me but I have dry skin and I’m almost 44 so my skin is not as it was when I was younger unfortunately so I avoid setting spray. Of course it makes my makeup last but it also makes it feel like cardboard. Yuck! 5 years ago things were different, I had so many foundations either drugstore of high end that I loved and worked perfect for me but my aging skin has changed so much that now I’m frustrated. For the life of me no matter how many I tried I can’t find the one that works. All I want is one that is hydrating but last well at least 8 hours. I don’t think that’s asking for a lot 😝

    For water-based foundations like the Koh Gen Do, should primers be avoided? (Or rather, should silicone-based primers - which is the vast majority of them, let's be real - be avoided, in order to prevent from clashing with the chemistry of the foundation?) Even most moisturizers and SPFs come with silicones, so I'm curious what's the ideal skin prep for a water-based foundation so that it doesn't pill or do anything weird.
