Everyone has to remember what works for one may not work for someone else. So many things from skin care products to the way you apply it is going to make a difference. I'm 58 and LOVE this foundation. I didn't have any of the problems that angie did...so try it for yourself as with everything. God bless and have a blessed day.
Just wanted to say thank you for posting your videos, miss Angie!! I will be 30 next year and I can't tell you how much of an inspiration you are to me!! Your healthy lifestyle, happy disposition and awesome style make me look forward to my next 30 years. So thank you, thank you :))
I have this foundation in the color 7 cream chamois and it worked well for me . I do agree it's a little thick. So I add 2 drops of my favorite face oil and it works beautifully, blending much easier. I do have skin that leans dry. My pores looked pretty good and it didn't settle into my lines .On a scale of 1-10 ...this about an 8 for me. It's not my holy grail...but it seems to have worked much better for me than for you. And it lasted well on me too. Foundation work differently on different skin types, so I get that it doesn't work the same for everyone. I'd tell people to get a sample and try it out . I was pleasantly surprised.
I just bought this in linen. It’s my holy grail now. No need for a separate under eye concealer. It layers well. You don’t need much. Very natural. It lightens up as it dries. I love love love it
Funny, I had such a different experience with this Foundation! I used it over It Cosmetics serum primer and used a brush and it went on like a dream and stayed perfect for 12 hours plus! and I'm a hundred lol
Probably she needs to improve on her skincare routine, she needs to hydrate her skin more, and maybe she needed a primer before she applied the foundation.
I love these videos. All of your videos, really. I love how honest and thorough you are. I'm almost 52 and it's so great to have my age represented on youtube. Thank you! xo, Tracy
So glad I found this video before I invested in it. I haven’t purchased a good Clinique foundation since they had the Repairwear Laser Focus foundation. I currently use the Elizabeth Arden Skin Caring Foundation and Concealer. It feels good all day and has good coverage.
OMG! Thank you for being BRAVE enough to put this all over your whole face! I had heard some people say how it covered SO well and they loved it and thought it worked really great. I haven't tried the powder though I DO use powder foundations because I can't stand the feel and then having the oil and sweat mix on my skin causing everything to come rubbing and running off. I was assured this would STAY on and got a sample little bottle of the liquid. It was SO thick, sticky and TOO moist. It took forever to dry down and set! It made me break out , it was like the thick old style stage makeup. I laughed SO hard with the "escapee from a wax museum"!! Thank you for being our "crash test victim" and doing all the trials for us. I am using up my little trial as a die hard under eye cover. I use a brightener/corrector in the hollow (near inner under eye) then tap a TiNY bit of this over it with a finger and set it and it works for THAT but I am with you, I think I will leave it to the people who really love it and it works well for! And I will stay on my search for ONE liquid foundation when I don't want to use my powder foundation. I watch every Friday to see what you are reviewing!
Angie, your skin is looking tighter and tighter, better and better every time I see you! You're my hero and role model. Thanks once again for all the time and effort you put into helping us be Beyond Hot and Flashy! LOL (I'm 68!). :))))
Have you reviewed the Clinique Even Better foundation? On a whim, I was color matched to Linen and bought that and Beyond Perfecting concealer. I found my Holy Grail. I didn’t have visible pores until a few years ago. Everything sank into them (IT’s CC, powder foundation, etc.). This Even Better doesn’t sink in!!! It’s a light to medium coverage so the concealer provides some help. I’ve been using an IT blurring bush and also setting it with IT’s powder. I am IN LOVE with this foundation!! It definitely makes me look/feel younger.
asamakeup artist I recommend using more product literally use the dophen brush and use a lot of product and with a damn wet beauty blender it will give you the proper coverage. the way you apply it matters. it is an amazing product.
I got a foil packet sample of this in my last Sephora order and tried it on a whim... I don't even usually wear Foundation anymore I just go straight for concealer because I need the pigmentation . I didn't expect much . I'm just a few years younger than you are but I have oily skin and I couldn't believe how nice this Foundation was . the color match was wrong and it still looked good. I thought it Blended out beautifully with a beauty blender, it was definitely full coverage it had no problem with my redness or my hyperpigmentation issues. my skin looked amazing... smooth, plump, I kept catching glances of myself in the mirror as the day went by and was just amazed at how nice my skin looked. it never went greasy but it wasn't Matte either and that's next to impossible to find for me. it lasted all day which for me is at least 12 to 14 hours, the only problem I had with it is it wore off on the very tip of my nose which there is nothing in this planet that lasts on the tip of my nose all day except IT Cosmetics bye bye redness and I did not use it underneath the foundation that day. the only thing that I had on underneath it was my sunblock. I did set it with silica powder . so maybe it just doesn't like dry skin... or maybe you just don't like a full coverage Foundation. there isn't much on the market that can give you the kind of coverage and lasting power that this Foundation does that doesn't look a lot more obvious on the skin. it's just the nature of the Beast. holding this up to foundations that give similar coverage like the Kat Von D Everlasting or the Urban Decay all nighter or even drugstore options like Revlon ColorStay ...this stuff is a miracle.
I do love this foundation. I use it under a bare minerals powder foundation . It's really more of a concealer the way I use it. I have a much fuller face than Angie and I apply it with a brush. But, there are so many variables the make something work on one and not another. I do so enjoy these reviews. Thanks Angie !
Thanks for your continued efforts. It's sooooo frustrating trying to find a foundation these days. Twenty years ago I would never have believed this. You're saving us a ton of time and money!!!
As always, I can't thank you enough for doing this series. It is fabulous. Based on your review, I'm currently using the Chanel velvet foundation you recommended & I love it. I have many other quality foundations & love them too, but the one from Chanel is my go-to every day foundation.....thanks to you, Angie! Just want you to know how much you & your exhaustive research is appreciated. Have a good weekend! Becky
Thank you for all your hard work in these comparisons. I have been watching your videos for the last couple of years but was never able to leave a comment because I did not have a UA-cam channel. Rescently I tried to leave a comment, (again) and UA-cam prompted me to start a channel. So here I am and just want to let you know I really appreciate you and some of the other UA-camrs for taking the time to do all the research and testing for the rest of us.
I love your videos and I'm so glad I found your channel. I love to watch makeup videos but it's hard to take foundation recommendations from 20 somethings with perfect skin! I've found your reviews very helpful and your look today is beautiful!
+HotandFlashy Angie, please review NARS All Day Luminous Powder Foundation! I bought it because I was in a hurry and thought it was a finishing powder. Also it comes in my shade (Siberia), but when I used it my makeup looked cakey and it was obviously the powder. It's an expensive product so I was very disappointed and ready to return it until I realized it's a powder foundation. I wasn't a believer in powder foundations, but I tried it to see what it looks alone. I LOVE it now and have decided to keep it. I know you love powder foundations so I'd like to know what you think and how it performs in your tests.
I'm only in my mid 30s but very fair, and I grew up in Texas and Florida, so I have fine lines around my eyes, wrinkles on my forehead and pronounced nasolabial folds. I also suffer from circulatory disorders, light rosacea, and occasional adult cystic acne on my cheeks, which leave purple marks for up to a year. This foundation works very well for me with my multitude of issues, when applied with a large makeup brush over toned, but unmoisturized skin. I use Thayers Rose Water Witch Hazel Toner before I apply, and I also use it to set my makeup and give it a dewy look after full makeup application. I don't find that it is heavy, cakey, masklike, or stiff, like many full coverage foundations I've used over the years.
I had a very hard time getting this one to look good on me, and really I don't want to try that hard to get so so end results. I actually sent it back. Thanks for sharing, I really appreciate this series.
I think you will love the new 2 in 1 powder foundation from Clinque, it covers better! They give you a two sided sponge, one for moderate, one for full! I am almost 62 male with skin discoloration, and dark spots, it covered very well, and lasted in Baltimore City humidity!
I'm 56 and this is my favorite foundation. I love this.... gorgeous and doubles as a concealer as well. I've watched a lot of your videos and found that the concealers and foundations you love have the longest list of ingredients in them... ingredients I've never even heard of and they wear completely different on my skin than yours. I have dry sensitive skin... I have to check and recheck every makeup, especially foundations that I put on my skin. The ones you like and use literally eat the skin right off of my face! Your skin must be made of steal or something? lol
I have normal to dry skin and I couldn't make this foundation work for me at all. Glad I only got a sample! I am really enjoying these foundation videos, really helpful, thank you.
Hi Angie, I appreciate this particular foundation video because I have been soooo curious on how it behaved on mature skin. You answered all my questions and clearly I too am voting for the Channel one. On the still pictures I can " truly appreciate" the closeups and what it really looks like. From far away they ALL look good!! Thank you Angie may you and yours always be blessed in abundance 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 XOXO, Esther 😇
Angie, I'm well over 50 and have found that as far as a drugstore foundation is concerned, L'Oreal Infallible 18 hr. makeup works quite well for me (not the matte version that you have already reviewed). If you haven't already tried the 18 hr. version, perhaps you'd like to try and review it. I'm fairer than you and wear the shade Nude Beige 605. Love this series and appreciate all the time you devote to reviewing these foundations.
I am loving this series of trying all these foundations. Thank you! I also get the orange peel skin only when the color of my foundation is a bit lighter than my skin colour! I am 49 with dry skin. I like Clinique's Even better foundation, Lancome's Teinte Idole, Dior's Serum foundation and definitely the new Makeup Forever one.
Again thanks for sharing❣ I feel I can really connect with you as I am a few years older😁 When Watching the young girls with flawless perfect skin doing reviews on wrinkles cracks me up😂😂😂 Although I must say you Absolutely do NOT look your age, you are just SOO beautiful😇 I look forward to following your blog as I just gotta know what you do that keeps you so youthful looking, and what your makeup loves are😀 Again Thank You from ALL of us💕 God Bless you girl🙏🏼
You & I have the same skin tone. I also lean toward the lighter side of medium tones and I use the shade Neutral and love it... But I had the same experience as you with this foundation trying the shade Fair. During the winter it was a bit too dark and I was recommended Fair. It showed every pore, enhanced my dry areas/ wrinkles, and I looked hideous! I have used Neutral for a couple years now and really like it. I use Laura Mercier primer before, and since it's a hydrating foundation and I'm a chef in a warm kitchen, I lightly use Laura Mercier translucent powder (very very light over the wrinkles & pores) and then I use Kryolan fixing spray. It's a recipe lol but I love it :)
Hi, love your videos! Have you found a foundation that doesn't make you look like you have orange peel skin because I feel like every foundation I have does that on me, it's probably my biggest issue Is there anything out there that doesn't give that affect or at least help somewhat? Thanks
Well I'm rude!! I made my comments about me😬! I live for Foundation Friday and genuinely appreciate the time, trouble, format, and the MONEY you put into each video you do. THANK YOU 😊❤️
Angie, I have pretty much the same skin concerns as you and just a couple years younger. I love Laura Geller spackle primer, Georgio Armani Crema Nuda (I'm worth it ) and Burberry fresh glow fluid base...Also Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet. These are my H.G. products.
I'm 35 and I've also been trying to love this but honestly it was cakey and I'm going to return it. I like my cover girl outlast stay fabulous 3 in 1 way better. thanks for your review. I hope I look as fabulous as you do in my 50's.
Great review. Thanks! My biggest issue with foundations is that polka dot face (tried a bb cream from misha today that did that, I was so disappointed) and settling into lines around the eyes and forehead aging me instantly at least 10 years.
Hi Angie, you should try the Burberry fresh glow luminous foundation. It is absolutely beautiful. I own the Chanel perfection lumiere also and thought I like it a lot until I tried Burberry. Does not sink into fine lines. Gives you a glow but not oily look. You can layer it and still looks very natural.
I'm working through samples of MAC waterweight and ysl touched eclat fdn. love both. waterweight is medium but buildable, and ysl is close to full coverage. both dewy, matte able with powder and no cake. no oxidation, long lasting. I am your ageish, and love your fdn reviews. you might give those two a whirl. ysl is fragrant, though. thanks for your hard work on this. terribly helpful.
I couldn't wait for you to get around to testing this foundation. My older sister and I both bought it and returned it. I didn't find anything redeeming about it. Maybe they need to repackage it & tout it for younger skin. As always, a great review Angie. Xo Julie
Love your videos and you always look great. I rotate many foundations and find I change favorites constantly according to my skins fluctuations and the seasons, weather etc. Clinique"s Even Better foundation is the best one for me of that brand. I use Ivory 03 VF-N I really like the neutral choices in this brand, i can vary my other color choices to cast the warm or cool aspects of whatever I'm going for. I really enjoy your through testing. I just have to search for foundations that aren't too yellow and of course most have a lot of yellow. Looking forward to more videos!
So sorry it didn't work out. This is my go to foundation. I love it. I hope you find your holy grail foundation soon. It took me a long time to find this one. Hugs, Chrissy
Thanks for the review. I have been curious about this foundation. I really like the color of eyeliner you have been using. It's a very pretty and soft look!
THANKYOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH ANGIE FOR ALL THE TIME YOU PUT INTO HELPING US FIND OUR "HOLY GRAIL" FOUNDATION & SKINCARE PRODUCTS!!!!!!!!! I LOVED YOUR "ESCAPE FROM THE WAX MUSEUM" ROFLOL😄😄😁😁 AS ALWAYS YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT REVIEW, YOUR REVIEWS ALWAYS ARE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! THANKYOU, AGAIN & HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY......LOOKING FORWARD TO ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Oh the search goes on. I'm 55. Have tried every foundation on the market I buy 2 a week and I still haven't found one yet. But from experience I will tell you to never buy 12 or 24hour makeup as everyone has given me spots. I get best results when I mix two foundations together Not sure why. Keep going 🙏🏻
I haven't tried the Estée Lauder Light. I'm also searching for foundation for mature skin. I believe we have the same skin issues. Good luck and look forward to future videos!
I really like and appreciate your videos. Have you used IT cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation? do you have a review on it or could you do one? I like a bunch of their products and I have a terrible time with foundations. I like their CC cream but would like a bit more coverage. Any suggestions? I have large pores and dry patches. I have learned to moisturize well before applying foundations, but still not happy with anything.
nope ! glad you did this video because it let me see that it's not for me! I have that common Lupus rash on my cheeks and nose which is bumpy and dry yuck and sometimes it kinda spreads all over....so I'm gonna check your other videos I'm especially looking for the Doublewear reviews.
what are your thoughts on the Revlon color whip foundation? I do not care for it..makes my skin feel heavy, dirty,itchy,did not care for the coverage...informative review,I also have mature skin have tried many foundations so far cc or bb creams work best ..I'm new to this channel ,foundation finding ugh!
This is the exact same makeup I am using and I have had better luck with this than you did. I do apply it with a brush and a little does go a long way. I also use a damp blending sponge to go over my entire face which really smoothes everything out. I bought the Chanel in color 40 and my husband hated the way it looked on me. I think that the color I bought was too dark for my skin so I am going to give the Chanel another try. Thank you for testing this as it is the one I really wanted to see. Excellent video. Deborah
+Deborah Sherwood The friend I borrowed the bottle from absolutely LOVES it! It's funny, we sampled it on the same day... she ran back and bought it and for me it was a no go! Hoper the lighter shade of the Chanel works for you! xo
I really enjoy these videos, I think we are all on the hunt for the perfect foundation & these help. Have you ever tried any of the Mary Kay foundations? I'm considering trying it & would like your opinion. Keep up the good work!
Debbie Beaird - I'm a Mary Kay user from way back - at least 10 years. I'm 58 and combo/oily! Use there advanced skin care. Love that. Love her mineral powder foundation over her primer. I want to love her liquid matte but it's not wearing well on me. I think she has a cream to powder to try. My most recent purchase will go back - something they gladly do. Give it a try. You might like it and this is crazy - I get shocked looks when I tell my age! I think MK skin care is very good.
Angie, have you tried the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation? I think it's new. I use their CC cream and love it for my mature skin but thought this new one could be holy grail?!
I'm 52 and can see how much my skin has changed since I was younger. I have dryer skin. I've used their foundation before. It never oxidized on me and did a fair job. But I hate ones that feel greasy after I put them on. I have fair skin and I burn easily. I wish they would make lighter foundations.
You should try the Younnique liquid foundation that comes with a dropper. I have heard great things but.......yeah, you need to test it. Love your videos!!
Escapee from the Wax Museum. Hahahahaa! No one wants that. I love these foundation videos. They are so concise. You still look pretty and your hair looks fantastic! Thanks, Angie. Great job.
I don't know if you have tried it but I am 53 and I have tried everything and nothing works on me besides Merle Norman... the foundation I use is in a compact. I use their beauty sponges and put dots all over my face, then I also put dots of moisture emulsion then blend both together and then I use their translucent loose powder. one you try it you won't want anything else. I have used it since I was 16.
love your videos, I am 56 and just starting to go through menopause with the hot flushes. I am like you fair to medium skin and have been trying foundations to cover up my wrinkles near my eyes and the dry skin patches on my face. I wondered if you have a recommendation for a foundation at the moment that has worked best on you so far. Thanks for all your advice on your videos I watch them all.
hi Angy, I bought last week serum foundation from Bobby Brown and it´s a desaster. I should invest in a sponge . I will avoid this Clinique one when i see the result and because of the range of color they are always too dark and ashy pink in that brand . thank s for your try . Have a nice day.
Thank you for all the video's I watch you every morning with my cup of coffee. I have really enjoyed the foundation Friday series. Would you do a review on Almay TLC foundation I used to use it and now use Tarte but think it is to heavy. Interested in your thoughts on it, thanks. Keep the videos coming!!!
If you have pores (like me ) and fine lines it's better to use a Brush and buff in the product. I usually apply foundation with fingers but more thick formulas look much better applied with a brush. I don't get the beauty blender concept :)
I'm 55 almost 56 and my pores used to look like yours with every foundation, until I started using Hourglass Mineral Veil primer AND Paula's Choice Clinical Retinol 1% treatment.
Hi, great review as always, I have had a different experience with this foundation but I have dry dry skin, I love this foundation, it blends well, is moisturising, covers and lasts well, I always use a hydrating primer which may also make a difference, until recently I struggled with the colours coming up dark however in the UK they have introduced two lighter shades linen and breeze so now this may well be a holy grail foundation, however that wont stop me trying others! x
Hi, I'm glad to hear you like the Clinique foundation. I too have very dry skin and also lots of broken capillaries on my face, and I love this foundation. I have not had any problems with it, I love the finish and wear time. One of my favourites but every review I have seen has been negative...
As always I love and trust your reviews Angie .. My skin is very similar to yours and I think you would love the coverage, wear and finish of the Kat VonD Lock It Tattoo foundation .. I do use a light weight setting powder and a spritz of Urban Decay Chill to finish up after blush and contour. Hope you give it a try .. Would love to see your review!
I have seen almost all your foundation reviews (2013 and 2014 too) and I haven't found if you have tried VICHY DERMABLEND (I think there are more than one Dermablend). Do you still think IT COSMETICS is the best choice? Is it full coverage? You are not an easy girl! ;) ;) I really like your reviews!
ok i have a question? Could you give a list of the top 5 foundations that you do not have to use a setting powder? I personaly have never used a setting powder not sure why? Maybe because i have dry skin and i think that maybe it would make it drier?? Any Help??
I agree with you on this, just got mine in mail from Sephora today and idk what the hype is about...I have pretty good skin, and it just settled into everything and looked horrific. Mines going back! bye bye! lol
Everyone has to remember what works for one may not work for someone else. So many things from skin care products to the way you apply it is going to make a difference. I'm 58 and LOVE this foundation. I didn't have any of the problems that angie did...so try it for yourself as with everything. God bless and have a blessed day.
I'm 54. I moisturize well, use a pore-minizing primer, one swipe per cheek (I have very red cheeks), a translucent powder over it...and I love it.
This series of trying foundations for mature skin is terrific in that it saves the rest of from making so many mistakes.
Just wanted to say thank you for posting your videos, miss Angie!! I will be 30 next year and I can't tell you how much of an inspiration you are to me!! Your healthy lifestyle, happy disposition and awesome style make me look forward to my next 30 years. So thank you, thank you :))

Tracey T yeah she seems to dislike everything except for holy grail expensive ass Chanel foundation.
Tracey T lol
Probably she needs to improve on her skincare routine, she needs to hydrate her skin more, and maybe she needed a primer before she applied the foundation.
@@TheRealEvvonne agree....not into her favs at all
I'm nearly 45 and LOVE this foundation. I use a buffing brush. X
I love these videos. All of your videos, really. I love how honest and thorough you are. I'm almost 52 and it's so great to have my age represented on youtube. Thank you! xo, Tracy

This foundation works very well for me with my multitude of issues, when applied with a large makeup brush over toned, but unmoisturized skin. I use Thayers Rose Water Witch Hazel Toner before I apply, and I also use it to set my makeup and give it a dewy look after full makeup application. I don't find that it is heavy, cakey, masklike, or stiff, like many full coverage foundations I've used over the years.
Your makeup looks flawless Angie!!
your skin looks flawless!!!
I had a very hard time getting this one to look good on me, and really I don't want to try that hard to get so so end results. I actually sent it back. Thanks for sharing, I really appreciate this series.
I always appreciate your foundation reviews. Thanks
I think you will love the new 2 in 1 powder foundation from Clinque, it covers better! They give you a two sided sponge, one for moderate, one for full! I am almost 62 male with skin discoloration, and dark spots, it covered very well, and lasted in Baltimore City humidity!
I'm 56 and this is my favorite foundation. I love this.... gorgeous and doubles as a concealer as well. I've watched a lot of your videos and found that the concealers and foundations you love have the longest list of ingredients in them... ingredients I've never even heard of and they wear completely different on my skin than yours. I have dry sensitive skin... I have to check and recheck every makeup, especially foundations that I put on my skin. The ones you like and use literally eat the skin right off of my face! Your skin must be made of steal or something? lol
I have normal to dry skin and I couldn't make this foundation work for me at all. Glad I only got a sample! I am really enjoying these foundation videos, really helpful, thank you.
Hi Angie,
I appreciate this particular foundation video because I have been soooo curious on how it behaved on mature skin.
You answered all my questions and clearly I too am voting for the Channel one.
On the still pictures I can " truly appreciate" the closeups and what it really looks like. From far away they ALL look good!!
Thank you Angie may you and yours always be blessed in abundance 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕
XOXO,
Esther 😇
+Esther Hernandez Thank you Esther!! xo ~angie
Still loving this series. So informative!
OMG, your lipstick is AMAZING in this video!
Angie, I'm well over 50 and have found that as far as a drugstore foundation is concerned, L'Oreal Infallible 18 hr. makeup works quite well for me (not the matte version that you have already reviewed). If you haven't already tried the 18 hr. version, perhaps you'd like to try and review it. I'm fairer than you and wear the shade Nude Beige 605. Love this series and appreciate all the time you devote to reviewing these foundations.
I am loving this series of trying all these foundations. Thank you! I also get the orange peel skin only when the color of my foundation is a bit lighter than my skin colour! I am 49 with dry skin. I like Clinique's Even better foundation, Lancome's Teinte Idole, Dior's Serum foundation and definitely the new Makeup Forever one.
This is the best foundation I have ever had
I really wish I'd watched this before I bought this foundation. I don't like it either. Thanks for this series! It is soo great!
yea! I love this series. Your hair color looks great, Im getting a bunch of low lights next month myself. Thanks for eliminating another one for me :)
Again thanks for sharing❣ I feel I can really connect with you as I am a few years older😁
When Watching the young girls with flawless perfect skin doing reviews on wrinkles cracks me up😂😂😂
Although I must say you Absolutely do NOT look your age, you are just SOO beautiful😇
I look forward to following your blog as I just gotta know what you do that keeps you so youthful looking, and what your makeup loves are😀
Again Thank You from ALL of us💕 God Bless you girl🙏🏼
You & I have the same skin tone. I also lean toward the lighter side of medium tones and I use the shade Neutral and love it... But I had the same experience as you with this foundation trying the shade Fair. During the winter it was a bit too dark and I was recommended Fair. It showed every pore, enhanced my dry areas/ wrinkles, and I looked hideous! I have used Neutral for a couple years now and really like it. I use Laura Mercier primer before, and since it's a hydrating foundation and I'm a chef in a warm kitchen, I lightly use Laura Mercier translucent powder (very very light over the wrinkles & pores) and then I use Kryolan fixing spray. It's a recipe lol but I love it :)
Hi, love your videos! Have you found a foundation that doesn't make you look like you have orange peel skin because I feel like every foundation I have does that on me, it's probably my biggest issue Is there anything out there that doesn't give that affect or at least help somewhat? Thanks
Thank you again for another thorough review. I really appreciate your videos.
Well I'm rude!! I made my comments about me😬! I live for Foundation Friday and genuinely appreciate the time, trouble, format, and the MONEY you put into each video you do. THANK YOU 😊❤️
Angie, I have pretty much the same skin concerns as you and just a couple years younger. I love Laura Geller spackle primer, Georgio Armani Crema Nuda (I'm worth it ) and Burberry fresh glow fluid base...Also Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet. These are my H.G. products.
Angie you look so youthful and amazing!!
I'm 35 and I've also been trying to love this but honestly it was cakey and I'm going to return it. I like my cover girl outlast stay fabulous 3 in 1 way better. thanks for your review. I hope I look as fabulous as you do in my 50's.
"Escapee from wax museum" lol! Great review as always. ♥ Elle
You really look awesome:) I live in Sweden and appriciates your videos for us women who are not twenty anymore :) Thank you very much:)
Great review. Thanks! My biggest issue with foundations is that polka dot face (tried a bb cream from misha today that did that, I was so disappointed) and settling into lines around the eyes and forehead aging me instantly at least 10 years.
You look beautiful and younger with no makeup!
Hi Angie, you should try the Burberry fresh glow luminous foundation. It is absolutely beautiful. I own the Chanel perfection lumiere also and thought I like it a lot until I tried Burberry. Does not sink into fine lines. Gives you a glow but not oily look. You can layer it and still looks very natural.
Thank you very much for sharing your video. I loved it 🙋🏻💕💕💕💕
I'm working through samples of MAC waterweight and ysl touched eclat fdn. love both. waterweight is medium but buildable, and ysl is close to full coverage. both dewy, matte able with powder and no cake. no oxidation, long lasting. I am your ageish, and love your fdn reviews. you might give those two a whirl. ysl is fragrant, though.
thanks for your hard work on this. terribly helpful.
I couldn't wait for you to get around to testing this foundation. My older sister and I both bought it and returned it. I didn't find anything redeeming about it. Maybe they need to repackage it & tout it for younger skin. As always, a great review Angie. Xo Julie
Love your videos and you always look great. I rotate many foundations and find I change favorites constantly according to my skins fluctuations and the seasons, weather etc. Clinique"s Even Better foundation is the best one for me of that brand. I use Ivory 03 VF-N I really like the neutral choices in this brand, i can vary my other color choices to cast the warm or cool aspects of whatever I'm going for. I really enjoy your through testing. I just have to search for foundations that aren't too yellow and of course most have a lot of yellow. Looking forward to more videos!
So sorry it didn't work out. This is my go to foundation. I love it. I hope you find your holy grail foundation soon. It took me a long time to find this one. Hugs, Chrissy
Thanks for the review. I have been curious about this foundation. I really like the color of eyeliner you have been using. It's a very pretty and soft look!
I couldn’t agree more! I am glad it was not me! Pores and wrinkles were horrific! It’s like I chose to highlight them! Thanks Angie!!
THANKYOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH ANGIE FOR ALL THE TIME YOU PUT INTO HELPING US FIND OUR "HOLY GRAIL" FOUNDATION & SKINCARE PRODUCTS!!!!!!!!! I LOVED YOUR "ESCAPE FROM THE WAX MUSEUM" ROFLOL😄😄😁😁 AS ALWAYS YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT REVIEW, YOUR REVIEWS ALWAYS ARE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! THANKYOU, AGAIN & HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY......LOOKING FORWARD TO ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love your lipgloss here!
Thank you again for a great review! I'm 44 and very interested in your vids.
I think you would love the Clinique Acne Solutions BB cream in the blue/teal bottle! Have you? It is exceptional!
Oh the search goes on. I'm 55. Have tried every foundation on the market I buy 2 a week and I still haven't found one yet. But from experience I will tell you to never buy 12 or 24hour makeup as everyone has given me spots. I get best results when I mix two foundations together Not sure why. Keep going 🙏🏻
Hi there! What are the two that you mix together? Thanks a bunch!
You look radiant. Flawless!
I haven't tried the Estée Lauder Light. I'm also searching for foundation for mature skin. I believe we have the same skin issues. Good luck and look forward to future videos!
I really like and appreciate your videos. Have you used IT cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation? do you have a review on it or could you do one? I like a bunch of their products and I have a terrible time with foundations. I like their CC cream but would like a bit more coverage. Any suggestions? I have large pores and dry patches. I have learned to moisturize well before applying foundations, but still not happy with anything.
nope ! glad you did this video because it let me see that it's not for me! I have that common Lupus rash on my cheeks and nose which is bumpy and dry yuck and sometimes it kinda spreads all over....so I'm gonna check your other videos I'm especially looking for the Doublewear reviews.
"Escaped from the wax museum." Hahahahahaha!
i tried this too and found its results similar to yours plus it looked orange after an hour, happy weekend x
what are your thoughts on the Revlon color whip foundation? I do not care for it..makes my skin feel heavy, dirty,itchy,did not care for the coverage...informative review,I also have mature skin have tried many foundations so far cc or bb creams work best ..I'm new to this channel ,foundation finding ugh!
This is the exact same makeup I am using and I have had better luck with this than you did. I do apply it with a brush and a little does go a long way. I also use a damp blending sponge to go over my entire face which really smoothes everything out. I bought the Chanel in color 40 and my husband hated the way it looked on me. I think that the color I bought was too dark for my skin so I am going to give the Chanel another try. Thank you for testing this as it is the one I really wanted to see. Excellent video. Deborah
+Deborah Sherwood The friend I borrowed the bottle from absolutely LOVES it! It's funny, we sampled it on the same day... she ran back and bought it and for me it was a no go! Hoper the lighter shade of the Chanel works for you! xo
I really enjoy these videos, I think we are all on the hunt for the perfect foundation & these help. Have you ever tried any of the Mary Kay foundations? I'm considering trying it & would like your opinion. Keep up the good work!
Debbie Beaird - I'm a Mary Kay user from way back - at least 10 years. I'm 58 and combo/oily! Use there advanced skin care. Love that. Love her mineral powder foundation over her primer. I want to love her liquid matte but it's not wearing well on me. I think she has a cream to powder to try. My most recent purchase will go back - something they gladly do. Give it a try. You might like it and this is crazy - I get shocked looks when I tell my age! I think MK skin care is very good.
I use the Timewise skin care & really like it. I'm thinking of trying the foundation. Any thoughts on it? I'm more on the normal/dry side.
+Debbie Beaird - I would definitely get with a MK rep and try. If it didn't work, they're great at returns.
Angie, have you tried the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation? I think it's new. I use their CC cream and love it for my mature skin but thought this new one could be holy grail?!
I'm 52 and can see how much my skin has changed since I was younger. I have dryer skin. I've used their foundation before. It never oxidized on me and did a fair job. But I hate ones that feel greasy after I put them on. I have fair skin and I burn easily. I wish they would make lighter foundations.
Hi. What is your thoughts about Palladio? Discovered it online but being from Europe you don't see I here. Couldn't you please do a review? Berit
You do not look your Age... you look amazing! Thank you for sharing this video 🤗🤗🤗
You should try the Younnique liquid foundation that comes with a dropper. I have heard great things but.......yeah, you need to test it. Love your videos!!
Escapee from the Wax Museum. Hahahahaa! No one wants that. I love these foundation videos. They are so concise. You still look pretty and your hair looks fantastic! Thanks, Angie. Great job.
I don't know if you have tried it but I am 53 and I have tried everything and nothing works on me besides Merle Norman... the foundation I use is in a compact. I use their beauty sponges and put dots all over my face, then I also put dots of moisture emulsion then blend both together and then I use their translucent loose powder. one you try it you won't want anything else. I have used it since I was 16.
What foundation are you wearing in the video? It looks great.
+Dallas Duchess never mind. You answered.
Great review. I will pass on this. I would love to hear your opinion on the Kat Von D Lock it foundation.
Love your new hair shades :)
love your videos, I am 56 and just starting to go through menopause with the hot flushes. I am like you fair to medium skin and have been trying foundations to cover up my wrinkles near my eyes and the dry skin patches on my face. I wondered if you have a recommendation for a foundation at the moment that has worked best on you so far. Thanks for all your advice on your videos I watch them all.
hi Angy,
I bought last week serum foundation from Bobby Brown and it´s a desaster. I should invest in a sponge . I will avoid this Clinique one when i see the result and because of the range of color they are always too dark and ashy pink in that brand . thank s for your try . Have a nice day.
Dry areas, larger pores, and wrinkles
I am 57 and done with menopause! Also a loss of some collagen as well
Thank you for all the video's I watch you every morning with my cup of coffee. I have really enjoyed the foundation Friday series. Would you do a review on Almay TLC foundation I used to use it and now use Tarte but think it is to heavy. Interested in your thoughts on it, thanks. Keep the videos coming!!!
+Ann Crawford I'll put it on the list!
If you have pores (like me ) and fine lines it's better to use a Brush and buff in the product. I usually apply foundation with fingers but more thick formulas look much better applied with a brush. I don't get the beauty blender concept :)
I'm 55 almost 56 and my pores used to look like yours with every foundation, until I started using Hourglass Mineral Veil primer AND Paula's Choice Clinical Retinol 1% treatment.
Thanks for another great review! I'm still loving my IT Cosmetics CC+ with sometimes a bit of the Celebration.
Hi, great review as always, I have had a different experience with this foundation but I have dry dry skin, I love this foundation, it blends well, is moisturising, covers and lasts well, I always use a hydrating primer which may also make a difference, until recently I struggled with the colours coming up dark however in the UK they have introduced two lighter shades linen and breeze so now this may well be a holy grail foundation, however that wont stop me trying others! x
Hi, I'm glad to hear you like the Clinique foundation. I too have very dry skin and also lots of broken capillaries on my face, and I love this foundation. I have not had any problems with it, I love the finish and wear time.
One of my favourites but every review I have seen has been negative...
As always I love and trust your reviews Angie .. My skin is very similar to yours and I think you would love the coverage, wear and finish of the Kat VonD Lock It Tattoo foundation .. I do use a light weight setting powder and a spritz of Urban Decay Chill to finish up after blush and contour. Hope you give it a try .. Would love to see your review!
I have seen almost all your foundation reviews (2013 and 2014 too) and I haven't found if you have tried VICHY DERMABLEND (I think there are more than one Dermablend). Do you still think IT COSMETICS is the best choice? Is it full coverage? You are not an easy girl! ;) ;) I really like your reviews!
Having said all that is your favorite still the Chanel lumiere velvet? Have u tried tarte foundcealer, it's pretty good
I too have the polkadot problem with my large pores in the nose area. Is there a primer out there that can help with this issue?
Thanks Angie for another great review. I think I'll pass on this one. Have a great weekend!
ok i have a question? Could you give a list of the top 5 foundations that you do not have to use a setting powder? I personaly have never used a setting powder not sure why? Maybe because i have dry skin and i think that maybe it would make it drier?? Any Help??
I agree with you on this, just got mine in mail from Sephora today and idk what the hype is about...I have pretty good skin, and it just settled into everything and looked horrific. Mines going back! bye bye! lol
