As a MUA, I would suggest, when using a full coverage foundation, only 1/2 to 3/4 pump for dry skin and a full pump for oily skin. This seems to work well for me as a rule of thumb. The cakeiness you got was from apply way too much product. Maybe try again and mix in an oil (a few drops) and with a little less than a full pump of foundation. I think you will find this will work a lot better for you.
Thanks, Heidi! I generally do mix in an oil to matte foundations in the winter, but I don't do that during reviews to see what the product itself performs like, unaltered.
I agree! I don't want to be mean but I literally cringed when I saw how much she put on! It was so much just with the first layer, and then she put on more!
I absolutely LOVE this foundation!!!! I’m 44 yrs old and this stuff looks beautiful on my skin!! I’m on the dryer side but found the perfect skin care routine that has been amazing for my skin. And I have to give my skin at least 10 minutes to drink in all my moisturizing/hydrating products for all of my make up to sit on my skin optimally. That’s a newly discovered trick I’ve recently learned, life changing for how all of my make up looks everyday. And I’ve found that it plays best with Hourglass Mineral Veil and Benefit Porfessional in my t-zone, we know as we age those pores get BIG 😂 So I have to be exfoliated, well hydrated and use the right primer for it to work but if my skin conditions are just right with that combo and my dampened Beautyblender, this ends up looking like my skin but BETTER. Also, I can’t powder it at all otherwise I look dehydrated and wrinkly LOL My new favorite, I hate to use the term “Holy Grail” because it’s played out BUT this is now my HOLY GRAIL!!!! 😂
I also have dry skin but love this foundation with a the liquid lumi primer. also, it works best if I really moisturize before I use argan oil and reg moisturizer. It gives my face some glow which I prefer. Hope this may help someone.
I have dry skin and I’ve tried to get this foundation to work for me and I just can’t!! I LOVE the coverage, love the staying power, hate the way it looks on my dry skin it’s such a bummer! I wish they’d make a hydrating formula for dry skin gals and guys ❤️
I’m so glad I found you. I have very dry skin and I’m over 40. I’m always on the lookout for more realistic makeup reviews without filters. I like a full coverage foundation, but really need the hydration as I am so dry and I don’t like foundations that settle into fine lines right off the bat. I’ll be binge watching your videos all weekend and look forward to watching you from now on. Thank you for such an in-depth and honest review. Very refreshing! Much love ❤️
Thanks, Gillian! If you want to start out narrowing them down, I've got a spreadsheet of all of the results, ranked - geekoutofwater.com/foundation-fest - you can scroll the entire spreadsheet to the right to see all of the columns, and there is a search box at the top right. I use the words "not drying" for foundations that don't dry me out but aren't hydrating either, and "hydrating" for ones that are hydrating. There's a column for settling, caking, etc.
Omg! Thank you ! Finally I find a channel for reviews for us gals Over 30 👌 . Everything u said about this foundation was Spot on! I have combination To Dry skin with a little bit of texture and I also moisturize and prime before and use a foundation brush for smooth even application and its just way too heavy and cakey. After 35 I didnt want anything to accentuate fine lines but we still want some nice coverage and our natural beauty to shine through. Im glad you were honest in your review. Sometimes people are afraid to go against what the masses say / review on social media but Im glad you were honest! You've got a new subscriber 😍👌
Wow I am really surprised to see your review of this. This foundation is my absolute favorite in my entire collection. I use the shade 112 natural ivory
Just found your channel while searching for reviews of this foundation. You are such a genuine personality, and I really enjoyed the review. I just subbed and I’m looking forward to seeing what else you put out!
From what I see shelly this foundation is only great on oily skin.I always wanted to try it but heard everyone saying it oxidizes really bad,just this year I tried and its my favorite foundation and have experienced no oxidation, I also have oily skin so i think thats why it works for me
With this foundation a little bit goes a long way, And you applyed a lot of product on your face, this is my first time watching your channel so I don’t know what steps you do to prep your skin. Thanks for the review.
Thanks, Carla! I use the same process for every foundation review so that they're comparable as possible. (You can search through the results of all of my reviews on www.geekoutofwater.com/foundation-fest - there are over 60 of them now). For skin care, I do no masks/peels/exfoliants the night before or that morning (to avoid aggravating my skin). No less than 30 minutes before the review, I do my morning skin care (which is cleanse, serum, moisturizer, and mineral sunscreen) - give that time to soak in. 5 minutes before I turn the camera on, I prime (the primer varies, which is why I mention what I use in the video). Then I do the review! For each foundation (especially ones that don't work out so well on me), I try it again for 3 days following the review, varying techniques to see if there's a combo that works - different primer, different application amounts/techniques, different moisturizer underneath. If anything changes, I'll note that in the video itself on-screen if I haven't edited it yet, or if it's already posted, I'll pin a comment below and update the info box. In this case, even with less product, I couldn't get much improvement. It's not made for dry skin so I'm not the target audience for this one anyway, but I always try them all because often things targeting normal skin will still work for me. Based on other reviews from dry-skinned people and how it applied on me, I think this one just isn't meant for dry skin - at least not as dry as mine. Really I've only had 1 foundation that I was able to get to work significantly differently than the review - the new Physician's Formula, which oxidized hilariously orange on me. I can get it not to oxidize if I skip sunscreen, but I would never leave the house without sunscreen. So I've kept it to wear when I'm just home filming - because it is a beautiful finish! Other people didn't have the oxidation issue, so it's just another body chemistry variation!
Hi again , thanks for replying, we are the same age and I have dry skin as well, and I don't do botox or treatments with needles, so I have my line expressions , well I started using Double Serum from Clarins about 3 years ago, and my skin is looking pretty good ever since, Have you ever try it?
Thanks for this review. I watched another review of this foundation & that person it wasn't good for folks with dry skin. Also, I just got the Wet n Wild Blossom highlighter & can't wait to try it out. I'm totally digging all of the new Wet n Wild products they're releasing for 2018 & can't wait to try out their new cushion foundation. Their new pro brushes look pretty awesome as well.
I need to grab the new foundation! I haven't come across it yet. It got the new eyeshadow palettes and the new liquid highlighter and they're both spectacular. WnW is really knocking it out of the park lately. Oh and I got the pro blush brush - forgot to bring it with me (I'm visiting family for Christmas) but it felt soft as all get-out!! I haven't used it on my face yet.
So I know this video is old but first thing, I’m sooo happy I found your channel!! I’m only 20 but we have very similar skin types and I’m super dry And flaky. I just bought this foundation because I read it can be nice for dry skin. I put it on very sloppy at my sisters house because I was mad that it looked terrible. Then I used Too faced hangover spray and it looked sooo nice. I bought a new concealer too and it looks like cake around my under eye area. I’m going to play around with it and try different moisturizers and primers because I feel like I can make it work lol at least I hope 🙏🏻
I love you. I am glad I found your channel. I am over 40, skin is now dry and I am Casper’s cousin pale. 😂 I am impressed by your foundation spreadsheet too! WOW!
Welcome!!! I've been laughing lately at my self tanning experiments - I look in the mirror and think WOW I AM SO DARK!! and then I match the 3rd lightest foundation shade in a range..... :-D I'm glad my skin is pale. I embraced it a long time ago and while I'm having fun playing with self tanner, there's something just simpler about being pale!
This is my most favorite drugstore foundation right now!!! **Edit to add: I’m 40 and I have mostly oil my skin. This is still my Holy Grail lol. (Now 10 months later). I use a small amount. With the same sponge you use. But I used too much once and it was cakey for sure. Just got to use much much less. It hides my dark spots, lines, and spider veins lol. Try it again PLEASE! I’m begging! Hahahah
Literally my exact same thoughts as I have about this foundation. I am 40 with dry skin. I was excited to try it after all the great reviews. Was a bit disappointed. Just dont love it. Definitely not for dry skin.
Yep definitely not! I try them all because sometimes, the claims just don't match up with the product (even in a good way sometimes - like a product that doesn't say anything about working on dry skin will work fine). So I try... no luck on this one!
try coconut oil for your dry skin. Thats about the only thing that works for my super dry flaky skin. I just use it as my moisturizer morning and night
Oh hey. Coconut oil is non-comedegenic. Please be careful when your put it on your face. For really dry skin I've tried First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream and had some success.
Coconut oil really isn't great for your face! It clogs pores! I was told it is a big No-No to use on the face, but nice for a body moisturizer for dry skin! 🙂 Rosehip Seed Oil works AMAZING for my dry skin, though! And it helps with keep acne at bay! It's my little miracle oil! I use it every single day, several times a day! I would highly suggest you try that one out!
Fractionated coconut oil is the ONLY coconut oil to be used on the face. It's been treated to break down the amino chains, and never solidifies, thus will not clog pores. (Esty here)
I have tried their stick foundation in 110. It just doesn't work for me. The coverage was terrible. The new one looked so dry. Might work for you with a drop of oil, I used it on my brush and my MUFE Stick Foundation works so much better....went on so much prettier...checked out your spreadsheet of foundations, thank you for making it. It will be so helpful. Love the rest of your look today.
Thanks, Linda! I tend to put oil in my foundations a lot in the winter, though I don't do it in reviews because I want to see the product on its own. Ones like this that are pretty bad on me get 2 more tries the next 2 days after off-camera. This one is pretty much a hot mess on me no matter what. :-/
LOL thanks, Ivy! At least I have morphed into feeling like I need blush. For 20 years or so I refused to touch the stuff. I get super red-faced when I work out and back when I was a kid, I was super embarrassed about it. I think that turned into refusing to wear blush because I didn't want to have red cheeks. Now I look dead without it, but still hesitate to go too flushed. I can also never get the angle right on the right side of my face!! :-D
Geek Out of Water Omg no way you too?! I can never get my contour right on the left side! What's that all about? Actually, I sadly think my face is slightly lopsided 😖🙈🤷
Please try new wet n wild cushion foundation noticed launched it on their website. Believe about 8.99 for it. So far only have a few shades. I'm getting to my in my 30s but I have dry skin also it's hard find foundation does make face look like a desert no matter how I moisturize and use dewy primer my face still does this.
Katherine Canon I was going to ask her the same thing. I haven't seen it in any of my stores although I have seen (and purchased the Rose in the Air one) the new eyeshadow palettes.
Thank you so much! You saved me some money - I keep seeing 'younger' you tubers rave about this stuff - It reminds me of that horrible Becca full coverage one, it was like Paint! New subscriber!
Thanks Jennifer! I wish I'd have thought to describe this as paint in the review because I've tried it a few times since, even mixing it to lighten a darker foundation, and that's exactly what it's like.... and not even a good paint. Like cheap paint that has started to go bad and won't spread evenly.
Geek Out of Water Thank you for replying! I have to say...when I came across your videos I was in heaven. You give the most comprehensive reviews and I appreciate it so much. I absolutely love your foundation videos! 😻 Keep up the great work!
Allison Krupp I have dry skin and I love this foundation! You just have to really moisturize.. I have a very hydrating skincare routine .. if you want your foundation to look good.. do your skincare before your foundation !! I also make sure to use an oil and a hydrating primer too and it gives me a beautiful natural finish!! With a nice glow! And it doesn’t sink into any of my fine lines!!
Hi Kathryn! I'll have this one in my next foundation follow-up. It does wear better with less product, but even with throwing every moisturizing option in the book (cream moisturizer underneath, hydrating primer spray plus Smashbox primerizer, and a hydrating setting spray), nothing keeps it from drying me out :(
Blast! Still in search of a good drugstore option that's available in the UK, think I may try that Makeup Revolution Fast Base stick - wish me luck picking a colour!
Completely random but I wanted to tell you that I always use(d) the L'Oréal Glam Bronze in pale as well but recently tried Milani's baked bronzer in Dolce and actually like it more (blends beautifully and nice shade for us pale gels). Just an fyi in case you'd like to try it! :D
New subscriber, as of 2017, I'm only buying drugstore makeup, still love tarte, urban decay, stilla, need to budget ( kids in college, 2 grand babies on the way, Jan and June)
Hey Kathryn! It's as good a time as any to be drugstore-only - they're really stepping it up! Is that a hockey jersey in your pic? Blackhawks fan here :) also love the Flyers (lived in Philly for a bit). I'm trying to like the Caps, as they're my closest "local" team now, but... I just... can't... :-D
Hi Shelly! Think I'll skip this one! I also tried the Revlon 3X and I still prefer my Rimmel Lasting Finish. I've been trying a few new Primers from some samples that I've gotten......although Sephora has really dropped the ball with samples on my last 3 orders by not giving me 4 of the samples that I was expecting, but anyway my fav primer sample so far was a Peter Thomas Roth mattifying one, going to use it again tomorrow. Athough it says all skin types I was worried that the mattifying meant drying but it felt great especially early on, I mean REALLY great actually, but in this cold winter weather my skin always starts to feel a little itchy/taut by the end of the day no matter what :o(
Ugh I had ordered to get that 500 point Kat Von D kit they recently had and the ended up out of stock on my entire order and canceled it! And I haven't gotten the proper samples or promo code items in a couple months now. It really frustrates me after I spent a bunch of money at the end of the year here to get Rouge again. I was just going through all of my shopping links tonight and something is up with the Rimmel! Either they're phasing it out to bring out new packaging or it's going away completely, because it's getting harder to find online!
I live in Oregon and my local Fred Meyer stopped stocking the Lasting Finish about 4 months ago :O( While I've still found it fairly easily online at Amazon and Target I've been trying to find something new that works as well for my skin.......the search continues lol
I was having trouble with the mic when I filmed the swatches and somehow in playback sometimes it's really loud - so I pulled it way down to not blow out anybody's ears when it went loud. It just ended up a hot mess!!
I really thought I was seeing things with the redness on my chin but when I edited - nope can totally see it! So confusing. This would have been an F if it didn't look so decent from a distance. When I would walk past a mirror, I would think, that looks OK, even pretty good - but up close just ugh. Drying and uncomfortable sunk the ship.
I am 45, dry, fine lines etc and I wear tis daily. You used about 4x to much. The swipe and blend with a beauty blender is the best application method. You would have been better with 120 (my shade) in my opinion. And I found this foundation is better with zero primer other than daily moisturizer.
@@goow I have roseca and the first 2 times it was awful but coverage was amazing. So I kept trying and figured out the tricks to get the coverage on my skin (which is similar to yours) it's worth a try. Your skin looks great with most foundation so you probably dont need the coverage as much as I do. Do you think the Revolution would be as full coverage?
I guess I don’t like a full coverage look. This foundation looked almost mask like. Unlike you, I like a dewy look on my older dry skin. Within an hour or two, everything looks matte on me anyway. I don’t think you look crazy with the blush. I have deeper skin than you, but I’ve always loved a really healthy blush look. Your makeup look was great, despite the troublesome foundation.
Thanks, Ginny! Yeah if I go full coverage, I need there to still be dimension to the skin - just enough sheen/reflectiveness where the highlights still show highlights and the shadows still show shadows, even before contour/blush/highlight/etc. This one is just one flat blanket. Mask-like is exactly right. Ahhh blush... I still don't feel like I've found the perfect application placement for my face structure, and maybe that's why I never like a heavy handed blush on me. The right side of my face (your left) never has the right angle to it. It drives me nuts! :-D
Hello Shelly!! ugggggggg my face is so dry as well! living in NY this cold weather and the wood stove just do a number on me so this foundation review is great and i will NOT be checking this one out. Ive so far, this winter been using a lot of Jose Maran and cover girl healthy Elixir both pretty dewey
its really cold here too about 2 degrees yesterday...BUT what I was going to ask you was if you've ever tried the Loreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream...I am really LOVING it right now, it makes my skin look younger in this cold weather as opposed to the typical foundations that has been making me look older so give it a try and let us know what you think??
Hello! Anything that ranks A- or higher on my spreadsheet is something I reach for regularly - geekoutofwater.com/foundation-fest/ - lately I've been rotating between the Dior Forever Skin Glow, the Tarte Foundcealer, and the PUR Love Your Selfie (though I think the new Pat McGrath is going to be in heavy rotation too!)
hi, shelly! you know there are issues when you have to do shadows and highlights on top to regain your nose. lol! not a fan, it would be awful on my skin for sure. thanks for all your expertise, gumption and time doing these videos. (sorry, couldn't resist the use of gumption). take care, stay warm and make merry! ~k
LOL you cannot and should not pass up an opportunity to use a fifty cent word! I totally get it! :-D Ahh yeah and you guys know I rarely go in for the extreme contouring! I already have a weird self consciousness that my face is flat (seriously, from the side I am a pancake face) but then this foundation....! I was like oh crap it's pancake face extreme!!!
If you no like, I no like. I'm once again thankful because I was planning on picking this up tomorrow. You looked good though, so that was a win ☺ Are you going to be traveling for any of the assorted remaining holidays?
Yeah this one was weird because it really didn't look bad at a distance, even in person. Up close it was a hot mess and super uncomfortable. I tried it a couple more times and, no good. It goes in the drawer for swatches. :) I will be heading to Chicago for a week for Christmas! I'm just finishing up the semester right now (grading all weekend!) and then I'll head out to visit my family.
That's fantastic, my favorite thing about this time of year is seeing everyone I don't get to see the rest of the year. A whole week too! You deserve it! I think it was on Facebook maybe I saw your post about the study you're doing. My friend you have my total respect and empathy. I did a huge project in college about Anita Hill, the Wm Kennedy Smith trial and other outrages that were happening at the time and it was brutal on my psyche. I'm very happy you get to be with family and recharge! I'm not sure if we are doing what's up in makeup next week or the week after, I need to confirm with Jen but other than my reports for wuim I'm free as a bird until day after my bday. The 26th. I almost can't believe all this free time is real!! I'm amazed at this luxury 😊
It's so nice to just take a break!! I've got videos pre-filmed (well I still have to film a foundation for next Friday and the one after) so I'll still be on UA-cam, but really hanging out in the comments is part of my relaxation every day! :-D Yeah I wrapped up that project today and it's really hard to not let it put me in a funk! But I haven't done anything like it in a while (I've been sticking to things for the Wildlife Center, which in its own way is emotionally taxing but not the way this is... some things in wildlife rescue and rehab are sad, but it's all generally hopeful. There aren't too many feel-good moments when you're researching sexual assault and harassment). But it's done and it's out there and now I just cross my fingers and hope it wins something! And if not, I hope at least it makes people think a bit.
That stuff looked like you were spreading clay on your face. I was pretty sure this was not one for my dry, mature skin. I'm a always surprised when dry skinned folks use a brush of any kind to wash their faces or apply their foundation. On me it just tends to exfoliate the face and make it look drier and less smooth. Another in depth review. Thanks.
Thanks, Karen! I exfoliate every night so in most cases, I don't have trouble using a foundation brush the next morning. But in the dead of winter, I'll be eating my words when I'm a flaky mess no matter what I do....
Omg this makes me laugh.... I bought a second Clarisonic to keep at my vanity. My Profile is in the bathroom and the Mia is at my vanity. I thought I was the only one🤣🤣🙈🙈
I've never understood why at the light end of the shade range, so many foundations have one really light shade and then jump 3 shades darker to the next, as if there are no variations in fair skin. So frustrating!
Sorry - my jaw dropped when you said you have a tracking spreadsheet so I'll be back, lol! You look really pretty but I'll pass on this one. I kind of hate that the winter releases are all matte - I would think it would be a spring/summer trend. Quick edit; I am curious about the Huda faux filter but the fragrance.... And also Frankie Rose - because I noticed the first shade is "fair with neutral yellow" and second is actually "fair with warm pink" and I never see warm pink!
LOL I live for spreadsheets!! The "geek" in my name is no accident :-D And what the heck is warm pink?! It's like how MAC is opposite. Those things scare me lol! I swatched/smelled the Huda and didn't buy it... I have a feeling I won't.
So I have the MUFE Ultra HD in R210 and hate it because it's a cool/blue tone pink. Since I'm a true winter tone - and can look gray (stunning, I tell you!!), cool tone pink looks terrible. But if I go for a warm-tone pink (I "think" R220) it actually works. Just like with yellow foundations, I actually need a cool tone yellow and not a golden yellow; golden yellow turns red or orange (due to the red/purple pigmentation in my face). This is where my geekiness comes in which is why I love your reviews 😀
This is what most foundations look like on my skin now that I have started wearing makeup again. It is time to try another foundation but I have no idea what to try. I'm disabled and can't drive, so whatever I get I use until its gone because it is far to much hassle to get someone to drive me to return the product. People say such contradictory things about aging skin and makeup. Don't use anything luminous because it will exaggerate the wrinkles but then don't use full matte because most mature skin is already so dry. O.o So confusing for this ol' lady lol
Hey Tamra! Oy there are so many "rules" and half of the time, they don't work for me! In terms of foundation types, I try a lot of matte because that's a look I prefer, but most don't work well on me because they emphasize lines/texture or dry out my already dry skin. But I still try! lol. The super-dewy ones also seem to accentuate lines. My favorite is a nice natural satin - so not so dewy that it shines but enough that light naturally reflects off the high points. I don't like returning things in person (because I feel bad doing it) so I do most of my shopping online so I can return it online. I'll go to Sephora and swatch a bunch of stuff and make notes so I can order online :)
Tamra What is your skin type? And what finish do you prefer? That will help a lot in narrowing down a decent foundation that you enjoy. Personally, I say to hell what "they" say, and just do what makes YOU look and feel good. "They" told me Estee Lauder Double Wear wasn't for me and would look bad on my dry aging skin. Well, it turns out it's one of my all time favourite foundations. I also stopped wearing makeup for a few years and didn't like like the results at all when I started up again. It took many ugly ones before I found any pretties. Also, are you looking at a drugstore or high end option? If you tell me your skin type and finish preference I can try and recommend some for you, as I have tried a ridiculous amount of foundations the past few years!
Oh wow Ivy thanks! Drugstore and my skin is technically combo but mostly on the dry side. The only spot that gets oily is my nose. my perfect foundation would be a natural looking full coverage. Something thats gonna cover these horrible panda eyes and age spots 😂
Nope, too flat, too finicky to apply, and not friendly to dry or textured skin. I'm surprised EmilyNoel gave this a great review & I usually agree with her. I have a feeling this is one of those new foundations that is made to look good on camera but doesn't work for day to day use.
Mask-like and too yellow. The much foundation flatters no one especially dry and ageing skin. I appreciate you doing this review as my skin is super dry and not a 20-something. Definitely a pass.
Normal people probably wouldn't put that much of foundation on their faces…I'm sorry to say that this review probably isn't the most reliable from that angle.
It's the same amount I've used in all 102 of my reviews, so it is reliable from my angle! Thanks for recognizing my abnormality 🌟I've never claimed to represent normal people :-D
I came For a review .. not To hear talking for the first 8 mins.. I’d rather when it goes straight into the application. Also why do you fast forward through application.? That’s what we want to see.. how it applies and how it blends? That shade is too light as well and this foundation a little Goes a long way! It looks bad and sinking in because you have so much on! I have dry skin and my skin prep Before is the most important part.. you really have to hydrate .. I do my skincare and oils before hand and I get a nice beautiful finish .. with some Dewiness to my skin! You need a brush .. not the Clarisonic .. the brush on that isn’t what’s gonna work! Needs to be more dense!
Hello! I've reviewed the original TrueMatch Super Blendable and the Lumi version - you can find my master list of foundations and scores here: geekoutofwater.com/foundation-fest/
As a MUA, I would suggest, when using a full coverage foundation, only 1/2 to 3/4 pump for dry skin and a full pump for oily skin. This seems to work well for me as a rule of thumb. The cakeiness you got was from apply way too much product. Maybe try again and mix in an oil (a few drops) and with a little less than a full pump of foundation. I think you will find this will work a lot better for you.
Thanks, Heidi! I generally do mix in an oil to matte foundations in the winter, but I don't do that during reviews to see what the product itself performs like, unaltered.
Heidi Aguilar thanks. I have been looking for ways to make this work for a while. I hope the oil works.
Heidi Aguilar would you recommend rosehip oil?
Can it be any oil such as coconut oil???
I agree! I don't want to be mean but I literally cringed when I saw how much she put on! It was so much just with the first layer, and then she put on more!
I absolutely LOVE this foundation!!!! I’m 44 yrs old and this stuff looks beautiful on my skin!! I’m on the dryer side but found the perfect skin care routine that has been amazing for my skin. And I have to give my skin at least 10 minutes to drink in all my moisturizing/hydrating products for all of my make up to sit on my skin optimally. That’s a newly discovered trick I’ve recently learned, life changing for how all of my make up looks everyday. And I’ve found that it plays best with Hourglass Mineral Veil and Benefit Porfessional in my t-zone, we know as we age those pores get BIG 😂 So I have to be exfoliated, well hydrated and use the right primer for it to work but if my skin conditions are just right with that combo and my dampened Beautyblender, this ends up looking like my skin but BETTER. Also, I can’t powder it at all otherwise I look dehydrated and wrinkly LOL My new favorite, I hate to use the term “Holy Grail” because it’s played out BUT this is now my HOLY GRAIL!!!! 😂
I also have dry skin but love this foundation with a the liquid lumi primer. also, it works best if I really moisturize before I use argan oil and reg moisturizer. It gives my face some glow which I prefer. Hope this may help someone.
I love this with a beauty blender, and i have to have very hydrated skin in order for it not to cling! New subscriber 💕💕💕💕
Thanks, Adri!! Welcome!
Thanks for what you do, it's lovely to see someone around my age doing makeup on UA-cam...
Thanks, Jackie! That's part of why I started - because I couldn't find enough UA-camrs like 35+!
I have dry skin and I’ve tried to get this foundation to work for me and I just can’t!! I LOVE the coverage, love the staying power, hate the way it looks on my dry skin it’s such a bummer! I wish they’d make a hydrating formula for dry skin gals and guys ❤️
Right?! That's always the bummer with the super-long-wear formulas!
This foundation truly smoothes out my fine lines and wrinkles. I will say it is not full enough coverage to cover my freckles.
I’m so glad I found you. I have very dry skin and I’m over 40. I’m always on the lookout for more realistic makeup reviews without filters. I like a full coverage foundation, but really need the hydration as I am so dry and I don’t like foundations that settle into fine lines right off the bat. I’ll be binge watching your videos all weekend and look forward to watching you from now on. Thank you for such an in-depth and honest review. Very refreshing! Much love ❤️
Thanks, Gillian! If you want to start out narrowing them down, I've got a spreadsheet of all of the results, ranked - geekoutofwater.com/foundation-fest - you can scroll the entire spreadsheet to the right to see all of the columns, and there is a search box at the top right. I use the words "not drying" for foundations that don't dry me out but aren't hydrating either, and "hydrating" for ones that are hydrating. There's a column for settling, caking, etc.
Geek Out of Water that would be so helpful, yes I will take a look at it. Thank you so much!
I like it a lot and have great success with it on my over 50 dry skin but I found it depends on what primer I use with.
Omg! Thank you ! Finally I find a channel for reviews for us gals Over 30 👌 . Everything u said about this foundation was Spot on! I have combination To Dry skin with a little bit of texture and I also moisturize and prime before and use a foundation brush for smooth even application and its just way too heavy and cakey. After 35 I didnt want anything to accentuate fine lines but we still want some nice coverage and our natural beauty to shine through. Im glad you were honest in your review. Sometimes people are afraid to go against what the masses say / review on social media but Im glad you were honest! You've got a new subscriber 😍👌
Thanks, Gabrielle! The dry skin struggle is real! :-D
Wow I am really surprised to see your review of this. This foundation is my absolute favorite in my entire collection. I use the shade 112 natural ivory
Just found your channel while searching for reviews of this foundation. You are such a genuine personality, and I really enjoyed the review. I just subbed and I’m looking forward to seeing what else you put out!
Thank you! Welcome to the fringe :-D
From what I see shelly this foundation is only great on oily skin.I always wanted to try it but heard everyone saying it oxidizes really bad,just this year I tried and its my favorite foundation and have experienced no oxidation, I also have oily skin so i think thats why it works for me
With this foundation a little bit goes a long way, And you applyed a lot of product on your face, this is my first time watching your channel so I don’t know what steps you do to prep your skin. Thanks for the review.
Thanks, Carla! I use the same process for every foundation review so that they're comparable as possible. (You can search through the results of all of my reviews on www.geekoutofwater.com/foundation-fest - there are over 60 of them now). For skin care, I do no masks/peels/exfoliants the night before or that morning (to avoid aggravating my skin). No less than 30 minutes before the review, I do my morning skin care (which is cleanse, serum, moisturizer, and mineral sunscreen) - give that time to soak in. 5 minutes before I turn the camera on, I prime (the primer varies, which is why I mention what I use in the video). Then I do the review! For each foundation (especially ones that don't work out so well on me), I try it again for 3 days following the review, varying techniques to see if there's a combo that works - different primer, different application amounts/techniques, different moisturizer underneath. If anything changes, I'll note that in the video itself on-screen if I haven't edited it yet, or if it's already posted, I'll pin a comment below and update the info box. In this case, even with less product, I couldn't get much improvement. It's not made for dry skin so I'm not the target audience for this one anyway, but I always try them all because often things targeting normal skin will still work for me. Based on other reviews from dry-skinned people and how it applied on me, I think this one just isn't meant for dry skin - at least not as dry as mine. Really I've only had 1 foundation that I was able to get to work significantly differently than the review - the new Physician's Formula, which oxidized hilariously orange on me. I can get it not to oxidize if I skip sunscreen, but I would never leave the house without sunscreen. So I've kept it to wear when I'm just home filming - because it is a beautiful finish! Other people didn't have the oxidation issue, so it's just another body chemistry variation!
Hi again , thanks for replying, we are the same age and I have dry skin as well, and I don't do botox or treatments with needles, so I have my line expressions , well I started using Double Serum from Clarins about 3 years ago, and my skin is looking pretty good ever since, Have you ever try it?
Thanks for this review. I watched another review of this foundation & that person it wasn't good for folks with dry skin. Also, I just got the Wet n Wild Blossom highlighter & can't wait to try it out. I'm totally digging all of the new Wet n Wild products they're releasing for 2018 & can't wait to try out their new cushion foundation. Their new pro brushes look pretty awesome as well.
I need to grab the new foundation! I haven't come across it yet. It got the new eyeshadow palettes and the new liquid highlighter and they're both spectacular. WnW is really knocking it out of the park lately. Oh and I got the pro blush brush - forgot to bring it with me (I'm visiting family for Christmas) but it felt soft as all get-out!! I haven't used it on my face yet.
So I know this video is old but first thing, I’m sooo happy I found your channel!! I’m only 20 but we have very similar skin types and I’m super dry And flaky. I just bought this foundation because I read it can be nice for dry skin. I put it on very sloppy at my sisters house because I was mad that it looked terrible. Then I used Too faced hangover spray and it looked sooo nice. I bought a new concealer too and it looks like cake around my under eye area. I’m going to play around with it and try different moisturizers and primers because I feel like I can make it work lol at least I hope 🙏🏻
Welcome, Livvi! Yep once you find the right combo I'm sure it will work!
I love you. I am glad I found your channel. I am over 40, skin is now dry and I am Casper’s cousin pale. 😂 I am impressed by your foundation spreadsheet too! WOW!
Welcome!!! I've been laughing lately at my self tanning experiments - I look in the mirror and think WOW I AM SO DARK!! and then I match the 3rd lightest foundation shade in a range..... :-D I'm glad my skin is pale. I embraced it a long time ago and while I'm having fun playing with self tanner, there's something just simpler about being pale!
This is my most favorite drugstore foundation right now!!! **Edit to add: I’m 40 and I have mostly oil my skin. This is still my Holy Grail lol. (Now 10 months later). I use a small amount. With the same sponge you use. But I used too much once and it was cakey for sure. Just got to use much much less. It hides my dark spots, lines, and spider veins lol. Try it again PLEASE! I’m begging! Hahahah
Literally my exact same thoughts as I have about this foundation. I am 40 with dry skin. I was excited to try it after all the great reviews. Was a bit disappointed. Just dont love it. Definitely not for dry skin.
Yep definitely not! I try them all because sometimes, the claims just don't match up with the product (even in a good way sometimes - like a product that doesn't say anything about working on dry skin will work fine). So I try... no luck on this one!
try coconut oil for your dry skin. Thats about the only thing that works for my super dry flaky skin. I just use it as my moisturizer morning and night
I will try that! My nose is driving me crazy!!
Oh hey. Coconut oil is non-comedegenic. Please be careful when your put it on your face. For really dry skin I've tried First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream and had some success.
Coconut oil really isn't great for your face! It clogs pores! I was told it is a big No-No to use on the face, but nice for a body moisturizer for dry skin! 🙂
Rosehip Seed Oil works AMAZING for my dry skin, though! And it helps with keep acne at bay! It's my little miracle oil! I use it every single day, several times a day! I would highly suggest you try that one out!
Fractionated coconut oil is the ONLY coconut oil to be used on the face. It's been treated to break down the amino chains, and never solidifies, thus will not clog pores. (Esty here)
I have tried their stick foundation in 110. It just doesn't work for me. The coverage was terrible. The new one looked so dry. Might work for you with a drop of oil, I used it on my brush and my MUFE Stick Foundation works so much better....went on so much prettier...checked out your spreadsheet of foundations, thank you for making it. It will be so helpful. Love the rest of your look today.
Thanks, Linda! I tend to put oil in my foundations a lot in the winter, though I don't do it in reviews because I want to see the product on its own. Ones like this that are pretty bad on me get 2 more tries the next 2 days after off-camera. This one is pretty much a hot mess on me no matter what. :-/
I like your blush darlin'. Mind you, I'm notorious for going ham on blush. I love the stuff: )
LOL thanks, Ivy! At least I have morphed into feeling like I need blush. For 20 years or so I refused to touch the stuff. I get super red-faced when I work out and back when I was a kid, I was super embarrassed about it. I think that turned into refusing to wear blush because I didn't want to have red cheeks. Now I look dead without it, but still hesitate to go too flushed. I can also never get the angle right on the right side of my face!! :-D
Geek Out of Water Omg no way you too?! I can never get my contour right on the left side! What's that all about? Actually, I sadly think my face is slightly lopsided 😖🙈🤷
My eyebrows are lopsided and one is longer than the other, so it's not a stretch to think maybe my jawlines are lopsided, too!
I am a new subscriber and really enjoying your channel. I am also in my 40's and love love makeup. I really appreciate your reviews!
Welcome, Claudia! :-D
Your face looks great when you came back with your make up on. ;) Pretty.
Thanks for trying this before I did. Passing on it because I'm like the Sahara!! Great review.
This one definitely does not get along well with Sahara types! :-D
I'm 38, and I can only use this foundation in the Atlanta summers. I use a half a pump for my entire face, applied with my hands.
Same here. But I'm 42. It only works for me in the summer as well w/ very little product.
i just subscribed! im so excited for your videos :) dry skin gals unite!!
Thanks, Ciara! Welcome to the craziness! :-D
Please try new wet n wild cushion foundation noticed launched it on their website. Believe about 8.99 for it. So far only have a few shades. I'm getting to my in my 30s but I have dry skin also it's hard find foundation does make face look like a desert no matter how I moisturize and use dewy primer my face still does this.
I will definitely get my hands on this one! Thanks, Katherine!
Katherine Canon I was going to ask her the same thing. I haven't seen it in any of my stores although I have seen (and purchased the Rose in the Air one) the new eyeshadow palettes.
Thank you so much! You saved me some money - I keep seeing 'younger' you tubers rave about this stuff - It reminds me of that horrible Becca full coverage one, it was like Paint! New subscriber!
Thanks Jennifer! I wish I'd have thought to describe this as paint in the review because I've tried it a few times since, even mixing it to lighten a darker foundation, and that's exactly what it's like.... and not even a good paint. Like cheap paint that has started to go bad and won't spread evenly.
You look so cute with your pigtails ❤️you do look pretty with the foundation I have oily skin and it works well on my skin
Thanks Blanca! I've loved pigtails since I was a little kid :) I'm probably too old for them but I don't play by those rules!
That foundation looks awful, especially around the mouth. Thank you for testing it for the dry skin people!
You're very welcome, Allison! Foundation guinea pig, at your service! :-D Yeah this one is just a no.
Geek Out of Water Thank you for replying! I have to say...when I came across your videos I was in heaven. You give the most comprehensive reviews and I appreciate it so much. I absolutely love your foundation videos! 😻 Keep up the great work!
Thanks for an honest review. I've been looking for a pale girl with dryish skin my age to sub to🙂
Hehe I feel like we are either an endangered species, or just stealth ninjas around UA-cam! :-D
Allison Krupp I have dry skin and I love this foundation! You just have to really moisturize.. I have a very hydrating skincare routine .. if you want your foundation to look good.. do your skincare before your foundation !! I also make sure to use an oil and a hydrating primer too and it gives me a beautiful natural finish!! With a nice glow! And it doesn’t sink into any of my fine lines!!
Thanks for the review!
Hey Shelly, did you have another go at this, using less product/a hydrating primer to see if that helped at all?
Hi Kathryn! I'll have this one in my next foundation follow-up. It does wear better with less product, but even with throwing every moisturizing option in the book (cream moisturizer underneath, hydrating primer spray plus Smashbox primerizer, and a hydrating setting spray), nothing keeps it from drying me out :(
Blast! Still in search of a good drugstore option that's available in the UK, think I may try that Makeup Revolution Fast Base stick - wish me luck picking a colour!
Happy Friday, Shelly!! I saw this at the store yesterday but wanted to see what you thought first.
I tried it 3x and it's a no-go for me. :-/ It has good reviews on Ulta but only 11 reviews as of now...
Completely random but I wanted to tell you that I always use(d) the L'Oréal Glam Bronze in pale as well but recently tried Milani's baked bronzer in Dolce and actually like it more (blends beautifully and nice shade for us pale gels). Just an fyi in case you'd like to try it! :D
Thanks, Ashley! I will definitely try it! I hit pan on the Glam Bronze about a month ago and it is slowly disappearing!
Your eyes are so beautiful!!!! Definitely looks heavy and creepy! Love the hair.
Love the lipstick and blush!
Thanks, Anita!
New to your channel and really enjoying ♥️
Thanks, Terie! Happy new year!
New subscriber, as of 2017, I'm only buying drugstore makeup, still love tarte, urban decay, stilla, need to budget ( kids in college, 2 grand babies on the way, Jan and June)
Hey Kathryn! It's as good a time as any to be drugstore-only - they're really stepping it up! Is that a hockey jersey in your pic? Blackhawks fan here :) also love the Flyers (lived in Philly for a bit). I'm trying to like the Caps, as they're my closest "local" team now, but... I just... can't... :-D
I looove your channel!!! 😍
Thanks, Tammy!
Love the top you're wearing at the daylight check in. Where'd you get it?
Thanks, Patti! It was a recent find on the clearance rack at Target - Knox Rose brand. I can't find it on their web site but check the clearance rack!
I loved it too, very attractive on you.
Should have checked out your video before going to the drugstore and buying it lol I won't bother testing it out, thanks for the review :)
Anytime! I've seen reviews of it working OK for more oily skin, but I had zero luck on my dry skin.
I have dry skin, and I am 32 years old and seriously had no problem with this at all. It’s kinda weird how this is such a mixed review product.
Hi Shelly! Think I'll skip this one! I also tried the Revlon 3X and I still prefer my Rimmel Lasting Finish. I've been trying a few new Primers from some samples that I've gotten......although Sephora has really dropped the ball with samples on my last 3 orders by not giving me 4 of the samples that I was expecting, but anyway my fav primer sample so far was a Peter Thomas Roth mattifying one, going to use it again tomorrow. Athough it says all skin types I was worried that the mattifying meant drying but it felt great especially early on, I mean REALLY great actually, but in this cold winter weather my skin always starts to feel a little itchy/taut by the end of the day no matter what :o(
Ugh I had ordered to get that 500 point Kat Von D kit they recently had and the ended up out of stock on my entire order and canceled it! And I haven't gotten the proper samples or promo code items in a couple months now. It really frustrates me after I spent a bunch of money at the end of the year here to get Rouge again. I was just going through all of my shopping links tonight and something is up with the Rimmel! Either they're phasing it out to bring out new packaging or it's going away completely, because it's getting harder to find online!
I live in Oregon and my local Fred Meyer stopped stocking the Lasting Finish about 4 months ago :O( While I've still found it fairly easily online at Amazon and Target I've been trying to find something new that works as well for my skin.......the search continues lol
Yikes don't build coverage with a buffing brush. It would cake up any fast setting foundation.
The sound basically disappeared during the swatches then came back up again...or am I going mad (this is quite possible) xx
I was having trouble with the mic when I filmed the swatches and somehow in playback sometimes it's really loud - so I pulled it way down to not blow out anybody's ears when it went loud. It just ended up a hot mess!!
Whoa D- & you're very fair with your grades. I didn't like how it appears full coverage yet still lets red through after two layers.
I really thought I was seeing things with the redness on my chin but when I edited - nope can totally see it! So confusing. This would have been an F if it didn't look so decent from a distance. When I would walk past a mirror, I would think, that looks OK, even pretty good - but up close just ugh. Drying and uncomfortable sunk the ship.
I am 45, dry, fine lines etc and I wear tis daily. You used about 4x to much. The swipe and blend with a beauty blender is the best application method. You would have been better with 120 (my shade) in my opinion. And I found this foundation is better with zero primer other than daily moisturizer.
I'm glad it works for you, Chandra!
@@goow I have roseca and the first 2 times it was awful but coverage was amazing. So I kept trying and figured out the tricks to get the coverage on my skin (which is similar to yours) it's worth a try.
Your skin looks great with most foundation so you probably dont need the coverage as much as I do. Do you think the Revolution would be as full coverage?
I guess I don’t like a full coverage look. This foundation looked almost mask like. Unlike you, I like a dewy look on my older dry skin. Within an hour or two, everything looks matte on me anyway. I don’t think you look crazy with the blush. I have deeper skin than you, but I’ve always loved a really healthy blush look. Your makeup look was great, despite the troublesome foundation.
Thanks, Ginny! Yeah if I go full coverage, I need there to still be dimension to the skin - just enough sheen/reflectiveness where the highlights still show highlights and the shadows still show shadows, even before contour/blush/highlight/etc. This one is just one flat blanket. Mask-like is exactly right. Ahhh blush... I still don't feel like I've found the perfect application placement for my face structure, and maybe that's why I never like a heavy handed blush on me. The right side of my face (your left) never has the right angle to it. It drives me nuts! :-D
You have great skin
Love the lip color on you
Thanks, Jay!
this seemed like you were applying latex paint. and i could feel the tackiness while watching you. thank you!
Hello Shelly!! ugggggggg my face is so dry as well! living in NY this cold weather and the wood stove just do a number on me so this foundation review is great and i will NOT be checking this one out. Ive so far, this winter been using a lot of Jose Maran and cover girl healthy Elixir both pretty dewey
Hey Darcey! Does winter seem super early this year??! The dryness, anyway! Maybe I'm crazy!! I feel like I'm in late-January levels of dry already!
its really cold here too about 2 degrees yesterday...BUT what I was going to ask you was if you've ever tried the Loreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream...I am really LOVING it right now, it makes my skin look younger in this cold weather as opposed to the typical foundations that has been making me look older so give it a try and let us know what you think??
Whats your favorite foundation?
Hello! Anything that ranks A- or higher on my spreadsheet is something I reach for regularly - geekoutofwater.com/foundation-fest/ - lately I've been rotating between the Dior Forever Skin Glow, the Tarte Foundcealer, and the PUR Love Your Selfie (though I think the new Pat McGrath is going to be in heavy rotation too!)
"at a conversational distance" LMAO...
hi, shelly! you know there are issues when you have to do shadows and highlights on top to regain your nose. lol! not a fan, it would be awful on my skin for sure. thanks for all your expertise, gumption and time doing these videos. (sorry, couldn't resist the use of gumption). take care, stay warm and make merry! ~k
LOL you cannot and should not pass up an opportunity to use a fifty cent word! I totally get it! :-D Ahh yeah and you guys know I rarely go in for the extreme contouring! I already have a weird self consciousness that my face is flat (seriously, from the side I am a pancake face) but then this foundation....! I was like oh crap it's pancake face extreme!!!
kerfuffle
If you no like, I no like. I'm once again thankful because I was planning on picking this up tomorrow. You looked good though, so that was a win ☺ Are you going to be traveling for any of the assorted remaining holidays?
Yeah this one was weird because it really didn't look bad at a distance, even in person. Up close it was a hot mess and super uncomfortable. I tried it a couple more times and, no good. It goes in the drawer for swatches. :) I will be heading to Chicago for a week for Christmas! I'm just finishing up the semester right now (grading all weekend!) and then I'll head out to visit my family.
That's fantastic, my favorite thing about this time of year is seeing everyone I don't get to see the rest of the year. A whole week too! You deserve it! I think it was on Facebook maybe I saw your post about the study you're doing. My friend you have my total respect and empathy. I did a huge project in college about Anita Hill, the Wm Kennedy Smith trial and other outrages that were happening at the time and it was brutal on my psyche. I'm very happy you get to be with family and recharge! I'm not sure if we are doing what's up in makeup next week or the week after, I need to confirm with Jen but other than my reports for wuim I'm free as a bird until day after my bday. The 26th. I almost can't believe all this free time is real!! I'm amazed at this luxury 😊
It's so nice to just take a break!! I've got videos pre-filmed (well I still have to film a foundation for next Friday and the one after) so I'll still be on UA-cam, but really hanging out in the comments is part of my relaxation every day! :-D Yeah I wrapped up that project today and it's really hard to not let it put me in a funk! But I haven't done anything like it in a while (I've been sticking to things for the Wildlife Center, which in its own way is emotionally taxing but not the way this is... some things in wildlife rescue and rehab are sad, but it's all generally hopeful. There aren't too many feel-good moments when you're researching sexual assault and harassment). But it's done and it's out there and now I just cross my fingers and hope it wins something! And if not, I hope at least it makes people think a bit.
Sorry to hear this foundation did not work out for you, I have dry mature skin and it works beautifully...
Body chemistry is fascinating! It never ceases to amaze me :)
That stuff looked like you were spreading clay on your face. I was pretty sure this was not one for my dry, mature skin. I'm a always surprised when dry skinned folks use a brush of any kind to wash their faces or apply their foundation. On me it just tends to exfoliate the face and make it look drier and less smooth. Another in depth review. Thanks.
Thanks, Karen! I exfoliate every night so in most cases, I don't have trouble using a foundation brush the next morning. But in the dead of winter, I'll be eating my words when I'm a flaky mess no matter what I do....
Omg this makes me laugh.... I bought a second Clarisonic to keep at my vanity. My Profile is in the bathroom and the Mia is at my vanity. I thought I was the only one🤣🤣🙈🙈
LOLOL I'm so glad I'm NOT the only one!!!!!!!!
If you are that dry in the winter, I would take a quarter of a teaspoon of Abolene Cream, and apply it to the skin, then blot!
The old one is aweful this one is better but lightest shade light beige is too light and ivory next shade is too dark in the uk x
I've never understood why at the light end of the shade range, so many foundations have one really light shade and then jump 3 shades darker to the next, as if there are no variations in fair skin. So frustrating!
Geek Out of Water me to in other countries I think lightest shade is porcelain but don’t get this shade in the uk x
Geek Out of Water I thought it was very pink toned the one I had was x
Sorry - my jaw dropped when you said you have a tracking spreadsheet so I'll be back, lol! You look really pretty but I'll pass on this one. I kind of hate that the winter releases are all matte - I would think it would be a spring/summer trend. Quick edit; I am curious about the Huda faux filter but the fragrance.... And also Frankie Rose - because I noticed the first shade is "fair with neutral yellow" and second is actually "fair with warm pink" and I never see warm pink!
LOL I live for spreadsheets!! The "geek" in my name is no accident :-D And what the heck is warm pink?! It's like how MAC is opposite. Those things scare me lol! I swatched/smelled the Huda and didn't buy it... I have a feeling I won't.
So I have the MUFE Ultra HD in R210 and hate it because it's a cool/blue tone pink. Since I'm a true winter tone - and can look gray (stunning, I tell you!!), cool tone pink looks terrible. But if I go for a warm-tone pink (I "think" R220) it actually works. Just like with yellow foundations, I actually need a cool tone yellow and not a golden yellow; golden yellow turns red or orange (due to the red/purple pigmentation in my face). This is where my geekiness comes in which is why I love your reviews 😀
This is what most foundations look like on my skin now that I have started wearing makeup again. It is time to try another foundation but I have no idea what to try. I'm disabled and can't drive, so whatever I get I use until its gone because it is far to much hassle to get someone to drive me to return the product. People say such contradictory things about aging skin and makeup. Don't use anything luminous because it will exaggerate the wrinkles but then don't use full matte because most mature skin is already so dry. O.o So confusing for this ol' lady lol
Hey Tamra! Oy there are so many "rules" and half of the time, they don't work for me! In terms of foundation types, I try a lot of matte because that's a look I prefer, but most don't work well on me because they emphasize lines/texture or dry out my already dry skin. But I still try! lol. The super-dewy ones also seem to accentuate lines. My favorite is a nice natural satin - so not so dewy that it shines but enough that light naturally reflects off the high points. I don't like returning things in person (because I feel bad doing it) so I do most of my shopping online so I can return it online. I'll go to Sephora and swatch a bunch of stuff and make notes so I can order online :)
Tamra What is your skin type? And what finish do you prefer? That will help a lot in narrowing down a decent foundation that you enjoy. Personally, I say to hell what "they" say, and just do what makes YOU look and feel good. "They" told me Estee Lauder Double Wear wasn't for me and would look bad on my dry aging skin. Well, it turns out it's one of my all time favourite foundations. I also stopped wearing makeup for a few years and didn't like like the results at all when I started up again. It took many ugly ones before I found any pretties. Also, are you looking at a drugstore or high end option? If you tell me your skin type and finish preference I can try and recommend some for you, as I have tried a ridiculous amount of foundations the past few years!
Oh wow Ivy thanks! Drugstore and my skin is technically combo but mostly on the dry side. The only spot that gets oily is my nose. my perfect foundation would be a natural looking full coverage. Something thats gonna cover these horrible panda eyes and age spots 😂
It just crumbles on my fucking face AAAAHHHHH
Nope, too flat, too finicky to apply, and not friendly to dry or textured skin. I'm surprised EmilyNoel gave this a great review & I usually agree with her. I have a feeling this is one of those new foundations that is made to look good on camera but doesn't work for day to day use.
Yeah that seems to be a trendy undercurrent, as if all we do is sit around taking selfies all day. I wish!!
9:19 prince Charles looks !!
No seen better products. Yes to light don't like the yellow.
Mask-like and too yellow. The much foundation flatters no one especially dry and ageing skin. I appreciate you doing this review as my skin is super dry and not a 20-something. Definitely a pass.
Yep I definitely don't recommend this one for dry or maturing skin! Thanks for watching!
Normal people probably wouldn't put that much of foundation on their faces…I'm sorry to say that this review probably isn't the most reliable from that angle.
It's the same amount I've used in all 102 of my reviews, so it is reliable from my angle! Thanks for recognizing my abnormality 🌟I've never claimed to represent normal people :-D
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻💯
Absolutely not for mature skin. Shows every fine line and wrinkle particularly around the mouth .
Yep - not a fan of this one.
I came
For a review .. not
To hear talking for the first 8 mins.. I’d rather when it goes straight into the application. Also why do you fast forward through application.? That’s what we want to see.. how it applies and how it blends?
That shade is too light as well and this foundation a little
Goes a long way! It looks bad and sinking in because you have so much on! I have dry skin and my skin prep
Before is the most important part.. you really have to hydrate .. I do my skincare and oils before hand and I get a nice beautiful finish .. with some
Dewiness to my skin!
You need a brush .. not the Clarisonic .. the brush on that isn’t what’s gonna work! Needs to be more dense!
Your feedback is appreciated!
Review Loreal TrueMatch... TOTAL SHIT.
Hello! I've reviewed the original TrueMatch Super Blendable and the Lumi version - you can find my master list of foundations and scores here: geekoutofwater.com/foundation-fest/
