    I am SO glad I watched this before buying new foundation! You have the exact same skin type/issues that I do so I know that if it didn't work for you, it would most likely not work for me either. 9/10 foundations give me these same problems though with disappearing coverage and clinging to dry areas; causing pore "spots" etc and it just bums me out. Glad you are so thorough as it's saved me a bundle on bad makeup!! 🙌🤘🏻💖💖

    I have very dry skin and I didn’t have this issue that you’ve had when I used this foundation. They also recommend using there brush. Make sure you use a moisturizer first before applying any foundation which will cause dry patches for any foundation if you didn’t use a moisturizer. Also exfoliate your skin 3 times a week. We all have different skin days so I get it…I just think different steps would have caused a better result.
    Also try Mac Studio fix if you have not already. Full beautiful coverage and been using it for years it’s my go to but definitely heavier than this one which is why I ordered this and love it because still great coverage!
    Key is moisturizer!

  • @jackiehiggins4818
    @jackiehiggins4818 2 роки тому +6

    Thank you for this review! I recently tried this product and experienced everything you did. I'm not a make-up pro so thought I was doing something wrong with the application. I reached out to the company to ask about the dry patchy effect and they suggested a pretty expensive serum, but I was hesitant... I have pretty hydrated, clear skin and smaller pores. This made my pores look terrible and my skin look dull. And actually made the fine lines around my eyes worse :/ Thank you again for the honest review. It was a time and money saver for me!!

I use the little stem to dab a few dots and blend with a Kabuki brush. I’m super pleased with the coverage. The shade match for me was perfect. Just my 2 cents.

    Interesting! Their ads were slow to show up in my feeds. I took their quiz & was told to choose shade #35 (which is close to your #40). Our skin colors are similar and I also have dry skin. Since for a similar price I already love my Emlin foundation in Burnished Ivory and also love the Clinique Even Better foundation in Breeze, I think I'll skip this one.

I am over 60 years old, and I know that no product will make wrinkles disappear, but this just made my skin look crepey and older. I returned it.

    I think the main issue was the amount of product used and application. I have the same skin type with dark spots 2 pump covers my face fully. Any more than that is too much. Evenly blend with brush 1 pump over entire face. Then repeat one more time. Using that application style with their primer got mea perfect application. My only con was 8hrs later it settled some into my smile lines 😊

    I use this foundation and im 48. Those complaining you're probably using the wrong skin care primer because this is silicone based and you're most likely using water based which will cause the said issues(always wait 30-45 seconds before adding foundation). Also if you're not wearing a good moisturizer prior to the primer you will also have the issues.

    Watching in 2022 after purchasing this a couple of years ago after seeing it reviewed by Andrea Ali on YT. I have combo skin like Ms Ali. After a false start figured less is more and brush is best, to skip primer and use just a little powder in the T Zone. Am considering repurchaaing as have not found one with a better shade match or staying power. I wasn't an avid sunscreen user at the time but am more consistent with it now have also definitely experienced it going all sorts of patchy with the Nivea UV face factor 50 I have, so on the hunt for recommendations that work with it. Sorry this one didn't work for you. Definitely get the impression it is better for oilier skin types. Love watching your videos 😍😀

    I had the exact same experience with the new Il Makiage Woke This Way #35 I just got today. It covered ok but I'm not sure I like how it looks on my skin. Sometimes it looks good, sometimes it looks too heavy for my taste - not sure the colour is right for me either. so I'll try different applications and I may even try blending with another liquid foundation, some sheen or bronzer. If I'm still 'eh about it, at least I can return or try another colour, if I get happier with the formula's performance.

    I purchased this and I have found that I have the same exact issues you do! I’ve been wearing it now for almost 12 hours and the product has just like disappeared from my chin and around my nostrils and the tip of my nose. It’s cakey around my smile and between my eyebrows and my upper lip is spotty and separated but you can tell that I have foundation on. I also used the primer that il makiage sends in the try at home box and it was no better.

    I don't know how I just found you but I'm glad I did! I was almost about to order this but thanks to you, I'm second guessing myself. I still use good 'ol Estee Double Wear, but I have to say, the formula has changed over the 21 years (I'm 46) I've been using it. It's really good but it used to be wonderful. I'm always looking for something to beat it, and I thought this may be it, but after seeing your review, it's probably not.

    • @goow

      Hi, Stephanie! Have you tried the new Estee Lauder Futurist? It's a little more glowy than the Double Wear, but it's doggone similar in how well it wears and it's beautiful, especially as my skin has gotten more dry. I still have Double Wear on my very top favorites, but I lean toward Futurist more often these days.

    Question: I recently took the IL Makiage online quiz to find my "Perfect" foundation & I was sent the "After Party" formula. Upon submitting my skin condition, which was Dry, Discolored & Aged (I'm 53) I was sent the After Party. I've noticed that most all the online reviews, including yours in this video, are using the "Woke up like this". Knowing that you have dry skin as well, I was wondering if you know the difference between the 2 formulas (After Party & Woke up like this)?
    Thanks so much for this review because I truly trust your opinion :)

    • @goow

      The description on that one makes me a little nervous! They talk in a couple different places about it being oil absorbing and sebum-controlling, and that usually spells disaster for my dryness. I might pick it up in the fall Sephora sale. I'm thinking it's not super likely to work for me!
