I actually really liked that you included those moments of frustration and sadness because they're so real and something I think we can all relate to. Whenever you get discouraged about your skin or the makeup, please remember how far you've come and also how much you've helped so many people (including myself!) with their own skin. Your results are significant, and your efforts are recognized. Thank you again for another great review!
Thank you for your honest review, I was thinking about trying this and I think I will just get a sample to start. I have very dehydrated skin and I am close to your age and it doesn’t matter what foundation I use, by mid day my skin just sucks it in and looks drier! Ugh. I am still on the hunt for a moisturizing foundation that is not tacky and wears well. I cannot do powders at all not even setting powders, As I look like the crypt keeper. LOL
Amen Sister! @Angie, I feel that way a LOT (I make those faces & sounds, it makes me want to cry 😥 & THAT would make it look EVEN WORSE, LOL!) when I wear makeup and I'm like, it looked so good at first application, wth happened....what caused it to do THAT??! It's all part of life! Love, Steph from Kentucky 😘❤🌺🌹
I too am 57 and I purchased this and LOVE IT! Now, I have dry skin so that may make a difference. The first day I tried it with Cover Girl primer and six hours later I could see a little of the red around my nose peeking through. For sunscreen, I use Neutrogena Hydra Boost Hyaluronic SPF 25 with a very light consistency. But my cheeks still looked fresh, as did my forehead. The next day I used my Becca First Light Priming Filter Face Primer and it stayed fresh all day. So much so I didn't even want to take it off that night! (Of course, I did). It seems to float above my smile lines and tiny ones at my outer eyes. And I really press foundation into the skin with my beauty blender. I set with Hourglass Setting powder, but I've also set it with Wet n Wild Photo Focus and it did just as well. I don't need 24 hours out of my foundation, but I do need 10 or 12 and this will be permanently in the rotation.
Bought this foundation a couple of days ago this is the only foundation that stays on my skin..I’m 50 with oily skin. So far I really love it with out the primer. I love and value your opinions thank you for the review ❤️
I’m 52 and I love this foundation. I use the Shiseido spray sunscreen underneath and the only primer I use is a bit of pore filler across my nose. I apply with a dense brush and also use their translucent pressed powder on top. That’s it and it stays all day. Even my critical teenage daughter says it looks good which if you knew her you would realize it’s a high compliment. My skin is a bit more on the dry side so maybe that’s why it works so well but I am enjoying it. Great detailed review here tho - sorry it didn’t work as well for you as it does for me.
I’m in my 40’s right now, but if you’re what 50+ looks like with good skin/self care, I look forward to the journey. Love and UA-cam support from Canada! 🇨🇦💕
I love this foundation! Got it a month ago and it really worked here in the hot, humid Tokyo late summer for me. I also love the new concealer they came out with too. I don’t set with powder and I’ve found that made it look better on my combo skin. I don’t use primer, just my Kanebo Allie sunscreen spf 50 ++++. Prefer applying with my fingers and then sponge. Skindanavia setting spray, (bridal). Love you Angie! 💝
garfieldintoke Interesting. It shows that reviews only shows how it work that day on that skin. We all have different skin, live in different humidity, and temperature so a foundation will behave very differently from one person to another. I can’t use any of Angies top five, but it’s always interesting to see her reviews as they are so thorough and good.
Same here. I use it with my la Roche Posay Shaka fluide, no primer, no setting powder. Also have combo, slighty textured 58-year old skin ! Sets perfectly. Sometimes I think it is due to the thick creamy sunscreens that are being used.
@@PiJees It may be true that the foundation didn't work well due to creamy sunscreens but those sunscreens are what work for Angie and the struggle remains finding something that works for her and her variables.
With the ridiculous prices of cosmetics, how can anyone afford to do this kind of research trying to find what works? Good grief! Thank you so much, Angie, for doing all of this expensive research for us. :)
I agree. To be honest I didn't think it looked that bad but the price is bloming ridiculous. What are they putting in this stuff that makes it so expensive?
Hi Angie, Thank you for another great review! I am so thankful for all the effort you put into testing each product, your the best! Have a great weekend😊
Love these videos, so very helpful. I am 64, and don't wear a lot of makeup( mascara, lips) Love your honesty and trying to help this overlooked population of women. Thanks
I'm so surprised. Granted, I didn't put it through rigorous tests like you did but this is my new favorite foundation! I have tried Armani and Dolce and Gabbana and they looked horrible on my mature skin. This is the first I have found that didn't accentuate my lines, wrinkles and crepey areas. I really like it but everyone's skin is so different. ♥️
I have dry mature (53) skin- and I love this foundation out of everything I’ve tried -and I’ve tried a lot. It never settles on me and looks smooth on my textured skin, and looks the same at the end of the day as I did in the am.
It's funny how different and alike we all are...I tried a sample of the chanel,it didn't work for me,had a kvd eyeliner that smeared all over on me,got another one in a box,and it's fantastic!! Getting older is um...interesting..haha!!🤣🤣👍☺️
This is literally the BEST foundation I have ever used. I had to learn the hard way NOT to buy foundation based on UA-cam reviews. I have dry skin and much deeper wrinkles than Angie. Make up generally just makes me look older. This is legit the only foundation that doesn’t settle on me. So weird how everyone’s skin responds so differently to products. I apply with a sponge, do not use primer and use a moisturizing setting spray that doesn’t contain alcohol because I just can’t use powder on my dry skin. I do get about 8 hours of great wear out of it and at ten, I’m still passable. Love the concealer too. I live in the HOT and humid southeast, on a farm and would never expect a foundation to live through the acres and acres of yard work that I do on the daily so I can’t confirm whether or not it holds up to “yard work” on me. I can say that it held up to me driving around in August heat when my a/c went out in my truck. Thanks for all your hard work Angie!
Thanks for all the work you do! I'm 50 and I do check with several mature reviewers then get a sample myself before buying. I have Normal-Dry skin with mild rosacea. no sun damage, very pale, extremely sensitive skin. I use la roche posay Anthelios ultra fluid spf 60 (there are only two type 0 skin sun screens that Canada Cancer foundation supports, and this is one of them), then Dermalogica Ultracalming Barrier Repair as a primer (found this works amazing as a primer for sensitive skin - very hydrating and forms a barrier). Then I apply Shiseido, with my fingers. I don't get streaks, I don't have to use powder (dry skin) to set it, and best of all it doesn't settle into anything. It really is the best foundation I have ever used. TBH, most people I saw who reviewed it for mature skin ranked it in their top five but it wasn't their favourite. Pampered Wolf did say she found it very temperamental and would work probably much better for those with dry skin. I'd agree. I love it. It's actually my HG. I liked it so much, I bought the concealer. Which, I am happy about as it's the only concealer that is *actually* waterproof and it works great as a primer. I love the work you do, thanks for being a voice that's needed.
Yay, so happy you're reviewing this foundation. I've been curious to know your thoughts on it. L I'll probably pass on this one. I dont know what's gotten into me, but lately I've been rocking my wrinkled, sun damaged, freckled, hyper pigmented 50 year old, bare skin lately (just sunscreen of course) and it's been quite liberating, for now, lol. Thanks again for a informative and thorough video!
I did that for a couple weeks over the summer and you're so right, it is so liberating!! Especially seeing myself in a mirror later in the day and NOT being horrified at how my face looked! Foundations like this make me run back to my HG!!
I have this foundation and I love it! I was really surprised it didn’t work for you. I do always set my foundation but it looks good to the end of the day for me. Yes I am older than you so it’s not because I am younger than you. I always thank you for all the time and effort you put into all your reviews. Thanks 🙏🏻
Jackie Mullens it is rare I have any breakouts since I started using Curel which Angie did talk about and it has been a great find for me. I am on my 70’s and I am combination type but not extra oily in my T zone.
Thank you so much for all the help you continue to give to women over 50! I am slowly but surely converting to a lot of your skin care and makeup choices (and loving all of it). I feel the same sadness a lot of days when I apply my makeup and see flaking, settling, etc. I am in the 5th week of Curology and so some of my dryness I’m sure is from my skin adjusting. I went for your top drug store foundation and I like it, but as soon as my IT and Bare Minerals foundation is gone, I’m switching to your top pick ( I might do it before I run out of my expensive makeup)! One thing I know is that it is both frustrating and expensive to get old and try to look good. Thank you again for all of your help.
I have this foundation have been wearing it for two weeks. I'm 57 as well and very oily. I love it. I am so happy I found it. I dont look like I have mask on like I do with all the matt markups. Appreciate your review thou.
I got a sample to try on my 44 year old dry skin. Unfortunately it seemed to find dry spots and texture I didn’t even know was there. It did best with no primer and no powder, but I like a little powder on my tzone in muggy s.florida. I have foundations that don’t have these issues so I glad I got a sample.
I was so excited about this foundation....I had seen all these gurus rave about it. But it did not work for me either....I returned it today after trying to make it work! I kept thinking there must be something I was doing wrong! Thank you for your honest review, this made me feel better...I don’t feel so alone in my struggle with my aging skin!
Love the kitty on your shoulder! How adorable. I'm with you on this foundation. Last weekend I took it on my trip to visit my son who is a college student in Virginia. I was not impressed with how it wore. The weather was beautiful most of the time (not too humid) but I felt shiny and oily within a few hours.
I've made the mistake of taking a hyped foundation on a trip without trying it first... and it's not a good time. Sounds like a fun weekend in spite of the makeup fail though!!
Awww loved seeing kitty. It is interesting what works for some might not work for others. One reviewer really liked it, and she won't say she likes it if she doesn't. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
Usually what works for you works for me...But this definitely doesn’t work for you love and it moved up to my top 5. Got 12 hours of wear without touch ups on my oily textured skin! Love this foundation!
Had high hopes for this one Angie, wish it hadn’t settled into wrinkles. I’m much older and it is such an issue. Most days I settle for Elta’s tinted sunscreen, some blush, mascara and call it a day. Thanks for all your hours of experimentation. Love & Hugs.... Sherry
I only use a light bb-cream and concealer, I just want the overall appearance of my skin to be more even, I don't mind little imperfections as they are a part of natural skin. I feel that foundations only accentuate the imperfections and create an unnatural, less youtful look.
Angie, I thought your skin looked great in this foundation! I've been using the Shiseido Radient Lifting foundation for years and LOVE it. Being fair, I use I00 under my eyes and I20 for the rest of my face. Sometimes I use primer, but always give a light dusting of powder and it lasts all day. Medium coverage.
Love the Shiseido stick but now I'm loving the elf Flawless finish Foundation it's amazing. I don't feel like you have to spend a lot of money to get a good foundation anymore!!
Lisa Humphreys So true! I have very pricey ones but still have: True Match, Flower Beauty, Infallible pro glow, etc in current rotation for my normal skin.
Thank you for being REAL and not using crazy filters to make your skin look smoother like a lot of others do on here. I appreciate a good honest review.
Love when you have guest stars 🐶🐱 I am enjoying the Jane Iredale Beyond Matte Foundation. Not super matte/dry and it has been lasting for me. My first intro to this line. I also purchased a couple lip glosses that I really like too.
Aww, Catherine needed mommy time. She’s so sweet. As I’ve watched your reviews, I keep coming back to one question/observation-why is it that our nose/mouth/chin area just seems to reject our foundation? It’s like it spits it off. So frustrating!
Thanks, as usual with your honest opinions of products. I count on you! My favorite part of your videos is your animals photobombing you. I know that's not your goal, but I LOVE seeing them. ❤
I really can't say enough how much I appreciate your reviews. As a young woman, I internalized the message that the cosmetics marketers promoted, that if I only used a certain product, I'd look great - so, if the product was a disaster, the fault was mine. It's a neat marketing strategy, and quite cruel. Fortunately, your reviews over the years have been almost like therapy for me, and I finally understand that when a product doesn't work, even when it claims it is working, that's not my problem. Hooray and thank you!!!
Hey Angie, if you want to try something new mix the Chanel with the It cc cream i did it once during season change to darken up the Chanel. I am 53 and used the Chanel when I got married Dec 2017. It looked great but was really pink so it helps the cc have the right undertone for me as well. I love the combo! It looks really natural and very long wearing!
Very informative. This is truly helpful. Looking at the skin in different lights, at different times, etc, is what in the end is our life! Thank you SO MUCH for this video.
Awww! At the 8:30 mark when you got really frustrated i really felt for you. I'm in my thirties but i2 can appreciate the struggle because I am super oily and I got to the point that I just don't wear foundation at all. Its just not worth feeling terrible and annoyed. Thanks for sharing.
Angie you are absolutely beautiful!! And have a wonderful personality and great style. You are so elegant and I love learning from you. Thanks so much!
Oh Angie, you look so sad, almost make me cry, is very disappointed and a hard to found a foundation that works for our lines, wrinkles etc.. thank you for reviewing foundation for us, hugs and kisses for you. 🥰🥰
After the first day you looked so sad. Kudos to you for giving it 3 tries. It's not you, it's just not a good foundation. You always look beautiful. 💞 Loving the eye look! And your cat is a super cutie!!
I'm 51 and returned it the first day I tried it. I have combo skin with some texture and was a complete no as soon as I applied it. It looked very cakie on me and honestly looked very similar to your look. What is self refreshing? I purchased the Urban Decay and for me is wonderful. Glad I saw your review!!
Ty Angie...I'm so impressed with your honesty and detail as I'm also aging and the reality is I'm in denial I'm this old! Lol and now I need to look up close via pics as I'm not seeing what everyone else is ..this for your detailed explanations HELPS me tremendously u are beautiful keep smilen xoxo shirleygirl
Dang! It did so well on the young beauty influencers (who have no wrinkles i.e. Tati). You are so beautiful Angie, you should see my face, way past wrinkles... you look like you stayed at 30 max! Anyways, thank God for other foundations, and your reviews!
Hi Angie! I know you don't like how this foundation performs but it looks really good in this video! Your "orange peely" skin looks smoother (both w/o & w/the It Cosmetics gripping primer). As always, thanks so much for your detailed review and the super closeups which really helps me see how the foundation sits on the skin.
I am so glad that you reviewed this foundation. My skin type is very similar to yours, so I know that it is not a good fit for me. I love your foundation Fridays!
You should try the new Kat Von D portrait foundation it’s actually pretty nice I’m 55 and works well it’s natural and medium coverage. The other one I like is the Pretty Vulgar lava foundation they both stay all day and I don’t feel like it settles in my wrinkles.
Absolutely love your reviews. You look amazing today (as usual!) I'm so sorry you got sad. Don't let it get you too down! There's always your Holy Grail by Chanel!
I never have worn much “base” - but now that I am older, I feel like I look so much better with SOMETHING. I don’t want to go down the “make-upy” look road. I have been feeling washed out looking on days I am running late and skip it. One coworker asked if I was sick one day! So I definitely want to stay in the light-medium range.
I love watching your reviews Angie... 😁 You're a natural! I do want to mention to the people commenting that they won't try it now due to your review that why not? Just because it didn't work out well for Angie, it could be your next fav! Get a sample and try it... I watched your review on Makeup Forever's Ultra HD foundation and you really disliked it... I love it lol! I think a lot has to do with what we put underneath our foundation...it can make or break how it works. I love using Neutrogena dry touch sun screen under foundation. It was recommended by my dermatologist. I just dislike seeing so many women saying they won't try a product due to another's opinion. Please see for yourself by getting a free sample at Sephora.
Your reviews are always so thorough. I really appreciate that you try with several primers etc. Although you are sooo beautiful 🥰 it gives me a small idea how it would look on me. 🤩
Thank you for this. I always want to hear your review of a foundation after someone a decade or more younger than me deems it wonderful.I also enjoyed seeing your gorgeous cat!
Your eye look today is beautiful, then again you are beautiful. I love your foundation reviews. My favorite foundation is the same as yours Channel. It’s just perfect for me and I’ve tried alot
LET me Tell you, it’s not the age, I am 32 years old and always struggled with oily skin, thus the only foundation that worked for me for more than 30 minutes was double wear, of course...you’re gorgeous, love from România 🤗❤️
How is it that no makeup company has approached you to develop a foundation specifically for our age group? Thanks for helping us to not waste our money, I appreciate your reviews so much!
Hi, Angie! Have you ever tried French-Korean Erborian CC Red Correct? I have a feeling you may like it a lot. Here, in Moscow it is one of the best sellers. It looks light greenish in the tube, but when applied to the skin it adopts its colour. It is not oily at all and has SPF 25. My favourite is still Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua, but from time to time I use Erborian CC Red Correct and it is just a wonderful change. And thanks for introducing Timeless serums to me :) I have started to use 3 of them a couple of days ago. In Moscow they sell them for some 34 dollars, but if I manage to get a result even 50% close to Skinceuticals serums, I will be absolutely happy, because this year I cannot force myself to repurchase Skinceuticals.
You are a champ for all the work you do on your reviews. Love you and your channel Angie. You always look so lovely even when the foundation doesn't behave. Hugs to you xoxo
So glad I waited for your review Angie. I love all the foundations you love. You do the best and concise wear tests. I love Chanel ultra teint but I love the Chanel ultra Le teint in the bottle for longer wear too (the names are so confusing), it is longer wearing and great for more formal occasions, you must try it I’m sure you will love it too.
I know I’m strange but I love the sweaty glowy look. I want my face to look oily not like it was when I was 16 but maybe when I was 28. I thought it looked great on you the first day but if you’re not happy I get it. Thanks for doing the work you do. I know it’s work. 🧡🧡🧡
Thanks for the review!:) I think we all have to embrace how our skin is like,textured skin,large pores,wrinkles,blemishes etc.theres no make up in the world can make our huge pores or problematic skin look flawless,it’s just the reality. As we all will age,or for those little more mature ladies out there,we all will age,and we all just accept the fact and age gracefully with it. It’s a endless time for us to hunt for a skin care of makeup to cover up our flaws on the skin,and we all mostly wont find one will actually work,the only one who benefits from it,will always be those companies getting our hard earned money from us lol Much love to you all,you all are beautiful in your own unique way. Xoxo .
I had never tried Chanel foundation prior to your recommendation when I first found your channel years ago. Spot on recommendation!!! I love it. Sad they changed the formulation, but I have trusted your reviews ever since!!! Thanks Angie!
See this is why we need Angie on YT! Tati gave this a rave review and I thought, "Oh this will be GOOD" since I loved the synchro skin. Thanks for testing this, Angie - I'll be hard-passing on it! xx
I hope this makes you feel better, I don’t see all of the problems you say you have. I saw no lip wrinkle, def no creases in under eye, and didnt see cakeyness. You don’t look as bad as you think. It may be terrible, but You have beautiful skin.
Once again you saved me money, heard so much about this but you are my foundation guru and I agree, the Chanel is the best on skin, still have my old version but will repurchase. Keep reviewing, we so need you!!!
Thank You so much for such an honest review. You tried to make it work, and for that the company should thank you! Most people would have closed the book after the first day. I had soooo wanted to try this, and have had difficulty in locating it at my Sephora. I think I will leave myself the trouble and skip this one. I have been on the hunt for a new foundation as my skin has changed from oily to sort of dry, with the small oily patch on the forehead and chin. My double wear was just not doing it; so I figured there was a magic formula out there, I just had to find it. Well, long story short, my skin care routine had to change first, and I am finding more foundations that are good, but I am looking for great. I might be unable to locate it, but the search continues. You are an amazing aide in testing and reporting what you have found, so THANK YOU again for each segment you post!
Hi Angie.....as always thank you so much for all your hard work for us .... I use your top choices and enjoy them....My SIL is a Dr. Haushka reseller in Ireland and sent me her foundation in Almond.....Holy Cow...it is gorgeous ...goes on like a dream, does not settle into wrinkles, has a lovely finish, seems to last really well and the almond color feels like it is custom make for me....I have a LOT of skin damage (I grew up on the equator before sunscreen was born for heaven sake) and 4 years older than you...thought I would share as I see on your list that Dr. Haushka is not a brand you have had a chance to review yet...Big hugs
Angie, you are so lovely. Thank you for all of these makeup reviews and tests. I personally really like iT, Illuminating foundation. It’s not perfect, but I like the spreadability (application) and it has good coverage. I like a little more shine though. I have tried to find a less expensive foundation, but no luck yet.
OMG, I share your frustration. I believe it so hard for us older women. or skin just dose not do well with makeup and its sad because it when we need help the most.
Thank you for the very thorough testing and review of this foundation. It is tough enough with peeling skin (using retinol) for me to even get my mineral sunscreen to not settle in wrinkles and accentuate the peeling skin...much less adding a foundation on top like that. Sigh...
Hi Angie, I’d love to see your review of RMS Uncover Up foundation, as well as the Chanel Vita Lumiere Aqua. I am your age and have dry skin. My holy grail is the same as yours.
Oh well...once again, you've saved me from feeling bad about not buying another expensive foundation! BUT, that Naked Honey palette is working for you, Angie. Yowza- looks beautiful.
Hi Angie, a shame about the shisedo foundation, i felt you really got down on day two but to be honest you actually look amazing in most foundations and I think your skin looks amazing witb or without makeup , there is a huge difference from when you first started your channel to now you have managed to all but stop if not rewind the hands of time , so next time a foundation gets you down just look back and see how far youve come and how much your skin,has changed for the better , evem your application methods have changed a bit too, I realize you don't need to be told this but every now and then its nice to hear , thank you for all you share with us aging women and I've learned so much over the last three years I've followed your chamnel, and appreciate all of your skin care/ makeup tutorials and reviews and information Ii look forwards to the next review , thanks again all the best Mary
I actually really liked that you included those moments of frustration and sadness because they're so real and something I think we can all relate to. Whenever you get discouraged about your skin or the makeup, please remember how far you've come and also how much you've helped so many people (including myself!) with their own skin. Your results are significant, and your efforts are recognized. Thank you again for another great review!
Thank you!!
Austin Byers I agree I get so disappointed when I buy a foundation and it just melts off. The struggle is real😳
Yes, thank you for being real!! I am 31, but have such oily skin that this would look bad on me too. Age isn't everything!
Thank you for your honest review, I was thinking about trying this and I think I will just get a sample to start. I have very dehydrated skin and I am close to your age and it doesn’t matter what foundation I use, by mid day my skin just sucks it in and looks drier! Ugh.

It's all part of life! Love, Steph from Kentucky 😘❤🌺🌹
I too am 57 and I purchased this and LOVE IT! Now, I have dry skin so that may make a difference. The first day I tried it with Cover Girl primer and six hours later I could see a little of the red around my nose peeking through. For sunscreen, I use Neutrogena Hydra Boost Hyaluronic SPF 25 with a very light consistency. But my cheeks still looked fresh, as did my forehead. The next day I used my Becca First Light Priming Filter Face Primer and it stayed fresh all day. So much so I didn't even want to take it off that night! (Of course, I did). It seems to float above my smile lines and tiny ones at my outer eyes. And I really press foundation into the skin with my beauty blender. I set with Hourglass Setting powder, but I've also set it with Wet n Wild Photo Focus and it did just as well. I don't need 24 hours out of my foundation, but I do need 10 or 12 and this will be permanently in the rotation.
Omg, the cat cameo made my day! What a sweetie!!
So disappointing when we get excited about a product that doesn’t really work out.
Bought this foundation a couple of days ago this is the only foundation that stays on my skin..I’m 50 with oily skin. So far I really love it with out the primer. I love and value your opinions thank you for the review ❤️
I’m 52 and I love this foundation. I use the Shiseido spray sunscreen underneath and the only primer I use is a bit of pore filler across my nose. I apply with a dense brush and also use their translucent pressed powder on top. That’s it and it stays all day. Even my critical teenage daughter says it looks good which if you knew her you would realize it’s a high compliment. My skin is a bit more on the dry side so maybe that’s why it works so well but I am enjoying it. Great detailed review here tho - sorry it didn’t work as well for you as it does for me.
Hi, my skin sounds like yours, which pore filter do you use? Thanks
I’m in my 40’s right now, but if you’re what 50+ looks like with good skin/self care, I look forward to the journey. Love and UA-cam support from Canada! 🇨🇦💕
I love this foundation! Got it a month ago and it really worked here in the hot, humid Tokyo late summer for me. I also love the new concealer they came out with too. I don’t set with powder and I’ve found that made it look better on my combo skin. I don’t use primer, just my Kanebo Allie sunscreen spf 50 ++++. Prefer applying with my fingers and then sponge. Skindanavia setting spray, (bridal). Love you Angie! 💝
garfieldintoke Interesting. It shows that reviews only shows how it work that day on that skin. We all have different skin, live in different humidity, and temperature so a foundation will behave very differently from one person to another. I can’t use any of Angies top five, but it’s always interesting to see her reviews as they are so thorough and good.
Same here. I use it with my la Roche Posay Shaka fluide, no primer, no setting powder. Also have combo, slighty textured 58-year old skin ! Sets perfectly. Sometimes I think it is due to the thick creamy sunscreens that are being used.
Snuppeline yes absolutely agree! Love Angie’s reviews so much, and it is amazing how different factors affect our results.
I love this foundation!!
@@PiJees It may be true that the foundation didn't work well due to creamy sunscreens but those sunscreens are what work for Angie and the struggle remains finding something that works for her and her variables.

Heather Chase Because you can always get a sample or even return it if you don’t like🤷🏼♀️
sweetpeace5 We can get samples in the UK but we can’t return products and they are at least as expensive as they are in the US
You can ask for samples at Sephora and try for free. Sephora also take products back and refund if it doesn’t work for you.
@@MrGscp thank you. That's great information. I didn't know that. I guess I'll be finding my local Sephora. Can you do the same at Ulta?
Hi Angie, Thank you for another great review! I am so thankful for all the effort you put into testing each product, your the best! Have a great weekend😊
Love these videos, so very helpful. I am 64, and don't wear a lot of makeup( mascara, lips) Love your honesty and trying to help this overlooked population of women. Thanks
I just love the slap-happy "10-hour check-in Angie"! So fun!
I'm so surprised. Granted, I didn't put it through rigorous tests like you did but this is my new favorite foundation! I have tried Armani and Dolce and Gabbana and they looked horrible on my mature skin. This is the first I have found that didn't accentuate my lines, wrinkles and crepey areas. I really like it but everyone's skin is so different. ♥️
Flghtlss Tati loves it also. I’m going to buy it today and will let u know. I’m 63 normal skin with brown spots here and there . . . :)
@@lisaaustin4561 how'd it go if you remember lol! I tried it at 50 and liked it
Girl I cant believe you are 57! Ive been watching you for years and you get younger in every video!!
I have dry mature (53) skin- and I love this foundation out of everything I’ve tried -and I’ve tried a lot. It never settles on me and looks smooth on my textured skin, and looks the same at the end of the day as I did in the am.
It's funny how different and alike we all are...I tried a sample of the chanel,it didn't work for me,had a kvd eyeliner that smeared all over on me,got another one in a box,and it's fantastic!! Getting older is um...interesting..haha!!🤣🤣👍☺️
This is literally the BEST foundation I have ever used. I had to learn the hard way NOT to buy foundation based on UA-cam reviews. I have dry skin and much deeper wrinkles than Angie. Make up generally just makes me look older. This is legit the only foundation that doesn’t settle on me. So weird how everyone’s skin responds so differently to products. I apply with a sponge, do not use primer and use a moisturizing setting spray that doesn’t contain alcohol because I just can’t use powder on my dry skin. I do get about 8 hours of great wear out of it and at ten, I’m still passable. Love the concealer too. I live in the HOT and humid southeast, on a farm and would never expect a foundation to live through the acres and acres of yard work that I do on the daily so I can’t confirm whether or not it holds up to “yard work” on me. I can say that it held up to me driving around in August heat when my a/c went out in my truck. Thanks for all your hard work Angie!
Thanks for all the work you do! I'm 50 and I do check with several mature reviewers then get a sample myself before buying. I have Normal-Dry skin with mild rosacea. no sun damage, very pale, extremely sensitive skin. I use la roche posay Anthelios ultra fluid spf 60 (there are only two type 0 skin sun screens that Canada Cancer foundation supports, and this is one of them), then Dermalogica Ultracalming Barrier Repair as a primer (found this works amazing as a primer for sensitive skin - very hydrating and forms a barrier). Then I apply Shiseido, with my fingers. I don't get streaks, I don't have to use powder (dry skin) to set it, and best of all it doesn't settle into anything. It really is the best foundation I have ever used. TBH, most people I saw who reviewed it for mature skin ranked it in their top five but it wasn't their favourite. Pampered Wolf did say she found it very temperamental and would work probably much better for those with dry skin.
I'd agree. I love it. It's actually my HG. I liked it so much, I bought the concealer. Which, I am happy about as it's the only concealer that is *actually* waterproof and it works great as a primer.
I love the work you do, thanks for being a voice that's needed.
Yay, so happy you're reviewing this foundation. I've been curious to know your thoughts on it. L I'll probably pass on this one. I dont know what's gotten into me, but lately I've been rocking my wrinkled, sun damaged, freckled, hyper pigmented 50 year old, bare skin lately (just sunscreen of course) and it's been quite liberating, for now, lol. Thanks again for a informative and thorough video!
I did that for a couple weeks over the summer and you're so right, it is so liberating!! Especially seeing myself in a mirror later in the day and NOT being horrified at how my face looked! Foundations like this make me run back to my HG!!
@@AngieHotandFlashy I still plan on trying your HG, probably when I get sick of bare skin.
I have this foundation and I love it! I was really surprised it didn’t work for you. I do always set my foundation but it looks good to the end of the day for me. Yes I am older than you so it’s not because I am younger than you. I always thank you for all the time and effort you put into all your reviews. Thanks 🙏🏻
I'm so happy it works for you! Just shows that everyone's skin is different! xo ~angie
hey Sue, I am in my early 60's with combo skin and some adult acne breakouts. Does that describe your skin?
Me too! My new favorite foundation! And the shade is perfect
It works well for me, too! Oily skin/40s. It has great lasting power but doesn't look as "skin-like" as other foundations I've tried.
Jackie Mullens it is rare I have any breakouts since I started using Curel which Angie did talk about and it has been a great find for me. I am on my 70’s and I am combination type but not extra oily in my T zone.
Your close up camera work is always the most important part of your foundation videos for me. Wow, there wasn’t any self refreshing for you today.
Thank you so much for all the help you continue to give to women over 50! I am slowly but surely converting to a lot of your skin care and makeup choices (and loving all of it). I feel the same sadness a lot of days when I apply my makeup and see flaking, settling, etc. I am in the 5th week of Curology and so some of my dryness I’m sure is from my skin adjusting. I went for your top drug store foundation and I like it, but as soon as my IT and Bare Minerals foundation is gone, I’m switching to your top pick ( I might do it before I run out of my expensive makeup)! One thing I know is that it is both frustrating and expensive to get old and try to look good. Thank you again for all of your help.
I have this foundation have been wearing it for two weeks. I'm 57 as well and very oily. I love it. I am so happy I found it. I dont look like I have mask on like I do with all the matt markups. Appreciate your review thou.
I'm so happy to hear it works well for you Susan!
I got a sample to try on my 44 year old dry skin. Unfortunately it seemed to find dry spots and texture I didn’t even know was there. It did best with no primer and no powder, but I like a little powder on my tzone in muggy s.florida. I have foundations that don’t have these issues so I glad I got a sample.
"Do little men come out and blot your face for you?" Lol. Love it. Great review Angie, per usual.
I was so excited about this foundation....I had seen all these gurus rave about it. But it did not work for me either....I returned it today after trying to make it work! I kept thinking there must be something I was doing wrong! Thank you for your honest review, this made me feel better...I don’t feel so alone in my struggle with my aging skin!
Love the kitty on your shoulder! How adorable. I'm with you on this foundation. Last weekend I took it on my trip to visit my son who is a college student in Virginia. I was not impressed with how it wore. The weather was beautiful most of the time (not too humid) but I felt shiny and oily within a few hours.
I've made the mistake of taking a hyped foundation on a trip without trying it first... and it's not a good time. Sounds like a fun weekend in spite of the makeup fail though!!
Awww loved seeing kitty. It is interesting what works for some might not work for others. One reviewer really liked it, and she won't say she likes it if she doesn't. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
Usually what works for you works for me...But this definitely doesn’t work for you love and it moved up to my top 5. Got 12 hours of wear without touch ups on my oily textured skin! Love this foundation!
Had high hopes for this one Angie, wish it hadn’t settled into wrinkles. I’m much older and it is such an issue. Most days I settle for Elta’s tinted sunscreen, some blush, mascara and call it a day. Thanks for all your hours of experimentation. Love & Hugs.... Sherry
I only use a light bb-cream and concealer, I just want the overall appearance of my skin to be more even, I don't mind little imperfections as they are a part of natural skin. I feel that foundations only accentuate the imperfections and create an unnatural, less youtful look.
Angie, I thought your skin looked great in this foundation! I've been using the Shiseido Radient Lifting foundation for years and LOVE it. Being fair, I use I00 under my eyes and I20 for the rest of my face. Sometimes I use primer, but always give a light dusting of powder and it lasts all day. Medium coverage.
Love the Shiseido stick but now I'm loving the elf Flawless finish Foundation it's amazing. I don't feel like you have to spend a lot of money to get a good foundation anymore!!
Lisa Humphreys So true! I have very pricey ones but still have: True Match, Flower Beauty, Infallible pro glow, etc in current rotation for my normal skin.
Thanks for the review. I am over 50 and have an oily t-zone plus live in FL. The struggle is REAL for me with foundations as well.
Thank you for being REAL and not using crazy filters to make your skin look smoother like a lot of others do on here. I appreciate a good honest review.
Thank you for your honest review. You're my go-to for foundation reviews!!
Love when you have guest stars 🐶🐱
I am enjoying the Jane Iredale Beyond Matte Foundation. Not super matte/dry and it has been lasting for me. My first intro to this line. I also purchased a couple lip glosses that I really like too.
What a precious cat !!! I love him/her 💗
Im normal to dry and love love 💗 love this foundation. I do lightly powder it for staying power. It lasts 10-12 hrs for me.
Aww, Catherine needed mommy time. She’s so sweet.
As I’ve watched your reviews, I keep coming back to one question/observation-why is it that our nose/mouth/chin area just seems to reject our foundation? It’s like it spits it off. So frustrating!
Angie truly goes the full mile and then some with her reviews. 💕
Thanks, as usual with your honest opinions of products. I count on you! My favorite part of your videos is your animals photobombing you. I know that's not your goal, but I LOVE seeing them. ❤
I do too!!
Angie, you are so beautiful inside and OUT! Hate seeing you sad, but you are always a rock star in my universe. Thank you for this review! oxoxoxo
Thank you Beautiful Angie. I can't get over how beautiful and firm your skin is. xo
Thank you!!
I really can't say enough how much I appreciate your reviews. As a young woman, I internalized the message that the cosmetics marketers promoted, that if I only used a certain product, I'd look great - so, if the product was a disaster, the fault was mine. It's a neat marketing strategy, and quite cruel. Fortunately, your reviews over the years have been almost like therapy for me, and I finally understand that when a product doesn't work, even when it claims it is working, that's not my problem. Hooray and thank you!!!
Hey Angie, if you want to try something new mix the Chanel with the It cc cream i did it once during season change to darken up the Chanel. I am 53 and used the Chanel when I got married Dec 2017. It looked great but was really pink so it helps the cc have the right undertone for me as well. I love the combo! It looks really natural and very long wearing!
You are so beautiful and sincere, love it and sooooo much appreciate all your trials and research! Keep it going, thank you❣
I love how incredibly thorough your reviews are!!! Absolutely love them!! Thank you!
Very informative. This is truly helpful. Looking at the skin in different lights, at different times, etc, is what in the end is our life! Thank you SO MUCH for this video.
It seems to mimic the way It cc cream works on my skin. Thanks for your commitment 🙏🏼
Awww! At the 8:30 mark when you got really frustrated i really felt for you. I'm in my thirties but i2 can appreciate the struggle because I am super oily and I got to the point that I just don't wear foundation at all. Its just not worth feeling terrible and annoyed. Thanks for sharing.
Angie you are absolutely beautiful!! And have a wonderful personality and great style. You are so elegant and I love learning from you. Thanks so much!
Oh Angie, you look so sad, almost make me cry, is very disappointed and a hard to found a foundation that works for our lines, wrinkles etc.. thank you for reviewing foundation for us, hugs and kisses for you. 🥰🥰
Ingrid Padilla Oh my..it’s JUST FOUNDATION. And she’s gotta plenty she still loves.
@@sweetpeace5 I know, just to see her face make me sad for a moment, 🤭🤷🏽♀️
After the first day you looked so sad. Kudos to you for giving it 3 tries. It's not you, it's just not a good foundation. You always look beautiful. 💞 Loving the eye look! And your cat is a super cutie!!
I'm 51 and returned it the first day I tried it. I have combo skin with some texture and was a complete no as soon as I applied it. It looked very cakie on me and honestly looked very similar to your look. What is self refreshing? I purchased the Urban Decay and for me is wonderful. Glad I saw your review!!
This is the very, very best foundation I have ever used! ❤️
Ty Angie...I'm so impressed with your honesty and detail as I'm also aging and the reality is I'm in denial I'm this old! Lol and now I need to look up close via pics as I'm not seeing what everyone else is ..this for your detailed explanations HELPS me tremendously u are beautiful keep smilen xoxo shirleygirl
Dang! It did so well on the young beauty influencers (who have no wrinkles i.e. Tati). You are so beautiful Angie, you should see my face, way past wrinkles... you look like you stayed at 30 max! Anyways, thank God for other foundations, and your reviews!
Angie, i really appreciate how thorough your reviews are! You really put these products to test. Thanks!
Your reviews are always so helpful. I’m on a no buy for foundation but it’s good to know I don’t need to save up for this one!
As always, the most thorough review. Thank you so very much from all us on the struggle bus with you.
I hope we're going somewhere warm and there are cocktails on the bus!!
Hi Angie! I know you don't like how this foundation performs but it looks really good in this video! Your "orange peely" skin looks smoother (both w/o & w/the It Cosmetics gripping primer). As always, thanks so much for your detailed review and the super closeups which really helps me see how the foundation sits on the skin.
I thought it looked good too!!
I am so glad that you reviewed this foundation. My skin type is very similar to yours, so I know that it is not a good fit for me. I love your foundation Fridays!
You should try the new Kat Von D portrait foundation it’s actually pretty nice I’m 55 and works well it’s natural and medium coverage. The other one I like is the Pretty Vulgar lava foundation they both stay all day and I don’t feel like it settles in my wrinkles.
Absolutely love your reviews. You look amazing today (as usual!) I'm so sorry you got sad. Don't let it get you too down! There's always your Holy Grail by Chanel!
I never have worn much “base” - but now that I am older, I feel like I look so much better with SOMETHING. I don’t want to go down the “make-upy” look road. I have been feeling washed out looking on days I am running late and skip it. One coworker asked if I was sick one day! So I definitely want to stay in the light-medium range.
Hey Angie! I would love to see you review on the famous Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation. Your recommendations are always spot on! Thanks!
Yes, I second that. 😊
Yes please :)
Sadly, it was a fail on me, here's the review: ua-cam.com/video/pCbRaEngTEs/v-deo.html
I love watching your reviews Angie... 😁 You're a natural! I do want to mention to the people commenting that they won't try it now due to your review that why not? Just because it didn't work out well for Angie, it could be your next fav! Get a sample and try it... I watched your review on Makeup Forever's Ultra HD foundation and you really disliked it... I love it lol! I think a lot has to do with what we put underneath our foundation...it can make or break how it works. I love using Neutrogena dry touch sun screen under foundation. It was recommended by my dermatologist. I just dislike seeing so many women saying they won't try a product due to another's opinion. Please see for yourself by getting a free sample at Sephora.
I/we REALLY APPRECIATE the extremely THOROUGH, hard work & time you ALWAYS put into these OUTSTANDING reviews! Hugs & Blessings 2U!
Your reviews are always so thorough. I really appreciate that you try with several primers etc. Although you are sooo beautiful 🥰 it gives me a small idea how it would look on me. 🤩
Thank you for this. I always want to hear your review of a foundation after someone a decade or more younger than me deems it wonderful.I also enjoyed seeing your gorgeous cat!
Your eye look today is beautiful, then again you are beautiful. I love your foundation reviews. My favorite foundation is the same as yours Channel. It’s just perfect for me and I’ve tried alot
LET me Tell you, it’s not the age, I am 32 years old and always struggled with oily skin, thus the only foundation that worked for me for more than 30 minutes was double wear, of course...you’re gorgeous, love from România 🤗❤️
How is it that no makeup company has approached you to develop a foundation specifically for our age group? Thanks for helping us to not waste our money, I appreciate your reviews so much!
Hi, Angie! Have you ever tried French-Korean Erborian CC Red Correct? I have a feeling you may like it a lot. Here, in Moscow it is one of the best sellers. It looks light greenish in the tube, but when applied to the skin it adopts its colour. It is not oily at all and has SPF 25. My favourite is still Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua, but from time to time I use Erborian CC Red Correct and it is just a wonderful change.
And thanks for introducing Timeless serums to me :) I have started to use 3 of them a couple of days ago. In Moscow they sell them for some 34 dollars, but if I manage to get a result even 50% close to Skinceuticals serums, I will be absolutely happy, because this year I cannot force myself to repurchase Skinceuticals.
I haven't tried Erborial CC Red Correct, but will check it out! Thanks for the tip!
You are so right. The struggle is REAL!
You are a champ for all the work you do on your reviews. Love you and your channel Angie. You always look so lovely even when the foundation doesn't behave. Hugs to you xoxo
So glad I waited for your review Angie. I love all the foundations you love. You do the best and concise wear tests. I love Chanel ultra teint but I love the Chanel ultra Le teint in the bottle for longer wear too (the names are so confusing), it is longer wearing and great for more formal occasions, you must try it I’m sure you will love it too.
Yea! Tati did this but I was waiting for you because our skin is more similar ❣️❣️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼thanks. Love the cat !
Me,too!! I'm old enough to be her(tati) mother...
@@sonjamatthews8040 I don't like to think about that lol :)
thank you so much for the review. always wanted to try Shiseido. Now I am back to Chanel foundation.
I know I’m strange but I love the sweaty glowy look. I want my face to look oily not like it was when I was 16 but maybe when I was 28. I thought it looked great on you the first day but if you’re not happy I get it. Thanks for doing the work you do. I know it’s work. 🧡🧡🧡
Thanks for the review!:)
I think we all have to embrace how our skin is like,textured skin,large pores,wrinkles,blemishes etc.theres no make up in the world can make our huge pores or problematic skin look flawless,it’s just the reality.
As we all will age,or for those little more mature ladies out there,we all will age,and we all just accept the fact and age gracefully with it.
It’s a endless time for us to hunt for a skin care of makeup to cover up our flaws on the skin,and we all mostly wont find one will actually work,the only one who benefits from it,will always be those companies getting our hard earned money from us lol
Much love to you all,you all are beautiful in your own unique way. Xoxo .
I had never tried Chanel foundation prior to your recommendation when I first found your channel years ago. Spot on recommendation!!! I love it. Sad they changed the formulation, but I have trusted your reviews ever since!!! Thanks Angie!
Hi Angie! Love your videos! Would love to see a FF on the No. 7 Lift and Luminate Foumdation!
See this is why we need Angie on YT! Tati gave this a rave review and I thought, "Oh this will be GOOD" since I loved the synchro skin. Thanks for testing this, Angie - I'll be hard-passing on it! xx
I hope this makes you feel better, I don’t see all of the problems you say you have. I saw no lip wrinkle, def no creases in under eye, and didnt see cakeyness. You don’t look as bad as you think. It may be terrible, but You have beautiful skin.
Thank you your reviews are the best, love your voice and you are gorgeous as always
Once again you saved me money, heard so much about this but you are my foundation guru and I agree, the Chanel is the best on skin, still have my old version but will repurchase. Keep reviewing, we so need you!!!
Particularly loved your fun personality signing through in this video! 💜
Thank You so much for such an honest review. You tried to make it work, and for that the company should thank you! Most people would have closed the book after the first day. I had soooo wanted to try this, and have had difficulty in locating it at my Sephora. I think I will leave myself the trouble and skip this one. I have been on the hunt for a new foundation as my skin has changed from oily to sort of dry, with the small oily patch on the forehead and chin. My double wear was just not doing it; so I figured there was a magic formula out there, I just had to find it. Well, long story short, my skin care routine had to change first, and I am finding more foundations that are good, but I am looking for great. I might be unable to locate it, but the search continues. You are an amazing aide in testing and reporting what you have found, so THANK YOU again for each segment you post!
Finally a truthful review on this terrible foundation. I tried it too after a lot of influencers said it was great.
Hi Angie.....as always thank you so much for all your hard work for us .... I use your top choices and enjoy them....My SIL is a Dr. Haushka reseller in Ireland and sent me her foundation in Almond.....Holy Cow...it is gorgeous ...goes on like a dream, does not settle into wrinkles, has a lovely finish, seems to last really well and the almond color feels like it is custom make for me....I have a LOT of skin damage (I grew up on the equator before sunscreen was born for heaven sake) and 4 years older than you...thought I would share as I see on your list that Dr. Haushka is not a brand you have had a chance to review yet...Big hugs
Thanks! Will check it out!!
Sooooooo glad I waited to buy this until I saw your review! Thank you so much!
I have a wicked cold, been sleeping all day....but bit I'm ready for this video!! Love Angie
I am so excited you're reviewing this! I've been waiting for a review from one of my sisters in super sebum production!
Angie, you are so lovely. Thank you for all of these makeup reviews and tests. I personally really like iT, Illuminating foundation. It’s not perfect, but I like the spreadability (application) and it has good coverage. I like a little more shine though. I have tried to find a less expensive foundation, but no luck yet.
OMG, I share your frustration. I believe it so hard for us older women. or skin just dose not do well with makeup and its sad because it when we need help the most.
Thank you for the very thorough testing and review of this foundation.
It is tough enough with peeling skin (using retinol) for me to even get my mineral sunscreen to not settle in wrinkles and accentuate the peeling skin...much less adding a foundation on top like that. Sigh...
Hi Angie, I’d love to see your review of RMS Uncover Up foundation, as well as the Chanel Vita Lumiere Aqua. I am your age and have dry skin. My holy grail is the same as yours.
I can not wait to try it. Thank you so much for your review😊
Oh well...once again, you've saved me from feeling bad about not buying another expensive foundation! BUT, that Naked Honey palette is working for you, Angie. Yowza- looks beautiful.
Hi Angie, a shame about the shisedo foundation, i felt you really got down on day two but to be honest you actually look amazing in most foundations and I think your skin looks amazing witb or without makeup , there is a huge difference from when you first started your channel to now you have managed to all but stop if not rewind the hands of time , so next time a foundation gets you down just look back and see how far youve come and how much your skin,has changed for the better , evem your application methods have changed a bit too, I realize you don't need to be told this but every now and then its nice to hear , thank you for all you share with us aging women and I've learned so much over the last three years I've followed your chamnel, and appreciate all of your skin care/ makeup tutorials and reviews and information Ii look forwards to the next review , thanks again all the best Mary
