I found my exact shade with double wear almost 17 years ago and haven’t strayed since then. SOLELY because I don’t want to find my shade in a different foundation. The struggle is real
Estee Lauder Double Wear is my go to even at my 40s and with dry skin, having my skin prep it looks radiant. I have using this foundation for over 15 years.
Este Lauder double wear is the Best Ever!! foundation is my holy Gril foundation of all time. Nothing compares to all these new foundations oldie but goodie. It’s my ride to die and It looks great on Photos. It looks great in any climate and I’m 52 years old. Makes my face look flawless. ❤
They should try the bareminerals original mineral powder foundation again since they're better at makeup too! I remember loving that foundation! I'm thinking to go back to it now too and see if it works with my drier skin now. @nikkilarose PLEASE try it again
BareMinerals a 1!??? I’m OBSESSED with this foundation. I use the matte one . I have combo skin. I have tried about 40 foundations and everyone’s “must haves” and I continually go back to it. I have used it for 12 years and the key is APPLICATION. You have to apply it correct and it literally looks like your skin but better. Plus, there is several colors available for every skin type. Please try it again! It’s an amazing foundation! 😊
I love bare minerals foundation. I have super oily skin and this was the only thing that I could wear that didn’t feel like it was dripping off my face. It’s the first foundation I bought for my girls when they started out with makeup.
I love Bare Minerals loose and pressed powder foundations. I have tried so so many liquid foundations and I always go back to a powder. I love the way the minerals look on my skin. I also like using a powder because I don’t have to set it with a powder so it’s one less layer on my skin. They both look very pretty on my skin. Very natural.
I can GUARANTEE you were NOT applying the Bare Minerals properly!! It’s the BEST!! Skin like, doesn’t fade or crease. You can change the finish to glowy or matte depending on skin prep and setting spray. You can use cream products over it as well. I recommend the loose matte version though because some people are sensitive to the original. Shelby Wilson has videos on how to properly apply it. Makes a WORLD of difference when you use it properly. I also have a video on how to get a glowy look using ALL powder products. Long video though so just fast forward to the end where I show you how everything looks up close. Just excuse my acne scars but at the same time it’s good for people to see what everything looks like on skin with flaws.
@@veronicaivanova I love it too! I love that it’s SO versatile. Everyone loves skin tints because of the skin like finish but applied properly BM gives you the same finish WITH longevity which the skin tints don’t have. You can also get BM to look glowy with different primers and setting sprays 😊
Totally agree. I have pretty severe eczema and it is the only thing I have used that doesn't make me flare up. Just wash your brushes!! It looks so glowy and natural
Wouldn’t agree more. I know a lot of people don’t like a silicone primer but I think it works for me and my combo-oily skin. I love the finish of matte and original. Sometimes I mix both. Just depends on the season.
I LOVE Bare Minerals! I have used it for years. I have oily acne prone skin and hyperpigmentation. I continue to try new ones, but nothing ever matches as well and looks as natural while still giving good coverage. If this got banned I would have a breakdown😂
I have to admit that even thought I used some trend foundations like kosas or haus labs foundation I always have a doble wear I feel it never disappoint.
The bare minerals is a great powder foundation! You should try it with skin prep now! Also it feels like you are both partial to new and flashy... Classics work for a reason
I used to use the IT Cosmetics CC cream every day pre-pandemic. I loved that it covered all of my rosacea and made my skin look even and moisturized, plus I felt good about using SPF 50 haha. After not wearing makeup for months during peak pandemic, I put the CC cream on one day to go to a wedding and was shocked at how heavy it looked! I put it down and haven't picked it up since. That Nars Light Reflecting foundation is definitely my jam these days. My mom, who has dry skin and always talking about how dry it is, can't seem to stop using that OG Bare Minerals powder foundation... this was a good reminder that I need to introduce her to some better hydrating formulas out there.
Estee Lauder Double Wear is fabulous, but skin prep and proper application technique is everything. Same for MAC Studio Fix. Thanks for the tip on mixing a cool and warm with the Studio Fix to achieve the proper match! I'm going out to purchase it again tomorrow
BareMinerals original loose was my first step into makeup when I was almost 30. I was using it with a bunch of skin prep and a very minimal amount of the powder itself. It looked natural but perfected. I go for a more natural look still but I have found products that give me that and look better - Merit’s Complexion stick thing is great for a similar natural but perfected look. This series is really great though! It’s been helpful to see what you both think and hear reviews from others. There are so many options now it’s overwhelming!
By the way, I always received so many compliments on my skin when I was using Bare Minerals foundation. I was in my twenties early thirties at the time. I have oily skin so it worked great for me. I now use a liquid foundation because back in the day, they said suncreen was not necessary if it was in your foundation! Years later I developed melasma. So now I always use sunscreen under my foundation.
Clinique! Oh my goodness, I remember wearing that thick foundation in the green tube for years before discovering mineral powder foundation to which I fell in love (and have stayed madly in love ever since - I'm 41 😂❤)
I am dying at your rating of Bare Minerals 😂 I am one of those people that had been using it for like 15 years and am completely happy with! I love the easy and quick 3-step process that leaves my skin looking great. I would even add their liquid foundation when I wanted to Elevate my makeup look. BUT!!! I have recently been exploring makeup and honestly watching a lot of Nikkis videos which are rocking my world. I've already bought several products she has recommended but am still working through figuring out the right combination for my routine. It's a new world for me to use several different brands in combination making a somewhat custom routine. I have been thinking i should probably just drop all of the bare minerals steps and just go with the modern day products 😆 I appreciate all of your videos as I navigate the overwhelming world of makeup and skincare products.
I use Bare Minerals on my 40+ year old skin. It isn't irritating and looks incredibly natural and luminous on me. The Matte version of this powder is terrible but the original is great!
I love bare minerals original loose mineral foundation. I’ve been using it for about 14 years my 15 year old Daughter likes it too. I love that it’s clean makeup and good for sensitive skin which we both have also has a very nice natural finish
I am 47, with normal skin, not much to cover. My liking is a glowy base BUT I really like Double Wear. It's simple amazing. I love it . Greetings from Germany
I’m 41 and it wasn’t until I stumbled on Nikki LaRose and another MUA that I learned about skin prep and a few other makeup products and techniques. I always just washed my face and put on a drugstore foundation with whatever generic tool I had. A skin prep tutorial with specifications of products for skin types would be great. Since finding you guys I have started doing skin prep but not sure I’m using the right or best products.
Hilariously eye-opening to hear your perspective on this!! I'm a Clinique Consultant at Ulta, and people come in every day looking for these foundations 😂😂😂 they are for sure the best sellers but you're so right - they're all so old school!!
I’m 57 years old and I even think most of those foundations are outdated. I used to use them when I was in my 30s. And I would love for you guys to go on tour and tell us what we should be using. Yes, samples please! 🥰
My 100% favorite is the Nars, but I definitely think the application makes a huge difference. It’s good with a brush, but it is STELLAR (for me) when applied with a beauty blender. Undetectable. I just look like I have gorgeous skin (which I definitely do not).
I absolutely love the bare minerals complexion rescue with the matte loose powder from the same brand!!! It looks super fantastic on me!!!! My skin is super dry!!! Just love it.
Same 🤣🤣 I love my bare minerals I don’t use it as often because I love my ilia skin tint and L’Oréal tinted serum. But I still love it in the summer when I want an even skin tone/ reduce my redness but don’t want a full face of makeup.
I switched brands because I’m a weird color, but have been using mineral makeup since I started using makeup at 22 because of cystic acne. I was totally able to cover everything.
Complexion rescue is great it looks nice with a little concealer and feels cool upon application. Just went back to it …. Now the bare minerals powder foundation…. I used it when I was younger 20’s 30’s and wore a version philosophy had to my wedding… I would get compliments on my skin Alllll the time… I was oily and live in Miami humid as hell. This maybe why it worked for me…now there isn’t a powder foundation that would work 51 is different skin all together…❤love both of you❤️
The bare minerals powder foundation and tinted moisturizer are my go to. The powder foundation I tend to wear if I know I’m going to hit the gym straight from running errands or school and won’t wash my face. It’s never caused my skin to breakout. I wonder if that one review was because they were using the original primer they recommended with it. When I was a teen I tried the intro kit for that foundation with the primer and my skin did break out. Like 10 years later I got a facial and the esthetician really recommended that I try it again and said the primer is most likely what caused my issues. She was 100% right. Like I said, I just switch back and forth between the powder and tinted moisturizer depending on how I’m feeling that day or how much coverage I want etc.
I’m definitely interested in the Nars light reflecting. Make up for ever ultra hd will always be my favorite foundation of all time! The new formulation is still good but I definitely miss the OG
This was a great video to watch. Two years ago when I hit menopause, my skin became "complicated" and my beloved Clinique foundations suddenly looked awful on me, so I went on a quest to find new products. I continue to have mostly oily skin with plenty of texture due to past scarring, but now with creases, wrinkles, and crepiness, but also occasional acne. I've followed the trends and have easily tried out a couple dozen foundations, both drugstore and high-end, in search of what works for me. Estee Lauder Double-Wear quickly became a holy grail product for me. In the summertime (I live in southern AZ) it's the only foundation that stays and looks good for an entire work day. Now that it's winter, I'm actually mixing it 1:1 with Haus Laubs as EL mixes so incredibly well with other foundations to increase coverage and longevity. When you reach this more mature age and have to battle hormonal changes you never expected, you discover not only that focusing on skin care and skin prep is an absolute must, but also that these "old school" foundations are actually pretty great. I also use IT Cosmetics CC Cream, Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Powder Foundation, Dior Forever Matte, the new Smashbox Always On, and the Nars Light Relecting Foundations, as well as the new Maybelline Skin Tint on the drugstore side. The quest for perfection changes daily depending on weather, the current condition of my skin, etc. Natural beauty takes time, money and a lot of work, LOL!
As I've turned 50 it's so hard to find foundation that works. So right now I just use tinted SPF. And always hope a good foundation just falls in my lap!
My favorite foundation is Pur Cosmetics. It looks like skin on me. I started with the mineral powder for years and now use it in warmer months because it's weightless and breatheable and the liquid mostly in cooler weather. It looks so natural. I strayed away to try others but went back fairly quickly. It is great for sensitive skin and I can fall asleep with it in and no issue. It tried bare minerals before but their shades had me looking like an ashy tinman. I may revisit just to see though. Its been a while things could have changed. I am for sure going to try LYS's because shes the one who came up with Pur's formula.
I discovered the bareMinerals tinted gel cream SPF 30 thanks to Susan and I absolutely love it. I use it for work and when I don't feel like having a full face on. I do use it as a sunscreen, applying a full finger length amount. I don't find that this is too much. I don't agree with the person recommending only a pea size amount. It provides the right amount of coverage with the appropriate sunscreen amount application. When I go out, I love the Estee Lauder Double Wear. It doesn't have fragrance and it provides full coverage. The bottle lasts a very long time, as you don't need to apply too much and the product stays in place all day! It is worth every penny! I preferred the light version, but, as they discontinued it, I started using the original version again. I literally use this during cold or hot weather. I still have a few darker shades of the light version and the light version is much better when it's proper hot!
I have never found a good color match for my light olive skin. I'd love it if you both would do a video on makeup for an indoor/outdoor wedding--my son's getting married in Hawaii and I don't know what would look good for pictures both outside and inside. Thanks :)
Dior ,maybelline y Nars tienen buenos colores para pieles olivas…para boda la base de Dior mate es hermosa la Nars soff mate es bonita la givenchi prisme caring es súper linda dejando piel de porcelana y mate
Mac studio fix smells like paint and it feels so heavy on the face. It was my favorite foundation back in 2000 but once I discovered Esta Lauder nothing compares.❤ Mac is owned by Esta Lauder.
I'm curious to hear about products you would consider classics that you'd still consider to be amazing even in the current market and with your current preferences
Both of you are so good together and very knowledgeable about foundations! I live in Honolulu, where it's very hot and humid most of the year, so liquid foundations and skin tints just feel sticky and oily on my 71 year old combination skin. What really works for me is the Bare Minerals pressed powder foundation where it truly keeps the shine down and doesn't set into most of my wrinkles except for under the eye area. What setting powder would you recommend for dry, older under eyes?
23:47 Don’t be talking bad about my Bareminerals! The brand I think suits a lot of different skin types. Loose powder is more for oily and combo but I’ve heard dry skin loves it too. My skin loves this foundation (very breathable) and hasn’t had a bad break out since switching back from other brands *cough* (Tarte). I can’t wear tinted moisturizer (everyday every season) like most ladies. This is lightweight like a tinted moisturizer but powder ! Plus less is more with this product and I do wash my brushes every week. 😊😏😉 My Ulta always has a slim inventory of Bareminerals. It doesn’t matter if it’s foundation to their loose bronzer. Tells ya that someone is buying it. I would say that the proof is in the pudding. I don’t know about lady and her skin history but the ingredient (bismuth oxychloride) might have caused her to break out. The brushes use to break people out because they were made of real horse hair. But they have since changed it. I hope she finds this video and reads this comment. Maybe try the matte or the pressed bare pro ✌🏻❤ I’ve tried a lot of powders from Ulta and I always come back to this Bareminerals. I have seen brands discontinued powders but they reign supreme.
The original IT CC cream is my staple foundation for work and I have been re- purchasing for years. I am new to the Armani Luminous Silk foundation and although it’s nice and feels lightweight , I don’t think it’s very luminous or hydrating like I thought, it feels more matte to me, so if you have a recommendation that’s better , LMK please. TY😊 I’m 44 normal dry.
Same on the IT Cosmetics original. Anytime I try something else, I always come back to it. And when I bought the Armani, I didn’t get the hype. That was a long time ago though, so who knows how I was applying it, etc.
On the Armani, I was told to use a brush but did not like that, it did not feel hydrating, I much prefer it with a beauty blender and although it does look nice, it still is not worth the hype.
Love the CC cream and the Double Wear the most from this list! 😊 Other foundations I also love equally, if not more, are: YSL Touché Eclat foundation, Light Wonder by Charlotte Tilbury and the Eaze Drop Skin Tint by Fenty. All of these work great on my dry skin! ❤ However, they are all pretty expensive. TBH, I never found a good drugstore foundation to this day, and I’ve been playing with makeup for years (I’m 30 years old).
I’ve used other foundations, but once I found IT Cosmetics original CC cream, I haven’t looked back. I would actually love to find something else similar because their shade range is horrible and I have to mix it with white pigment. I have the Double Wear to wear when I travel for work (because I have to travel to an extremely hot & humid place). It definitely has incredible staying power, but overall I find it meh. I wouldn’t wear it otherwise.
I'm 34 & still never tried NARS. The Ulta near me had nasty old used up samples of the concealer everyone raves about and I couldn't seem to guess my shade. I don't want to create waste by buying the light reflecting foundation either. I really want to get my shades right in the creamy concealer and light reflecting foundation, I think I would LOVE IT!
Ladies! I am 70, have great skin and have used the BM Original Powder since my 40’s. You have to know how to prep the skin and how to use the product. A little goes a long way and once it melts into your skin you just glow. Wouldn’t trade it for anything. Get compliments EVERY SINGLE TIME I wear it. Even girls behind the cosmetics counters can’t believe it. Think you got this one wrong. Just sayin’
I have been experiencing some ridiculous hormonal acne at almost age 46 and I just keep thinking about how my skin never broke out when I used Bare Minerals powder foundation. I am about to go back and try it again just to see if my skin clears up! I might look chalky and creased but right now i am all large pores and textured skin so either way it's a wash 😂
Very enjoyable video! I've tried almost all of these foundations in the past. NARS is one of my current faves, but with Haus Labs and Dior Forever Skin Glow and Matte formulations in my makeup kit, there is nothing here that I want to try.
Great Video! I never found a shade match in Mac. DW still a love for special occasions. Bare Minerals is a throw back! I was in my 20’s when it came out and it was all the hype with like my aunts and friends older than me. Swirl, Tap, and Buff! You could only order from their website. When it became more accessible I was just like uhh… it was just too overhyped for me. Never tried it! Totally agree with Susan that Ulta’s list is definitely not on trend but probably foundations that are people’s tried and true.
You are certain age, and you don’t want to take the time, effort, or the money to experiment with new things. You stick with what you know works call it being loyal, or whatever. I have been an Estée Lauder girl since the 90s because I love the free gifts with purchase.😊❤
Who as a 33yr old doesn't use skincare. I've used skincare since I was a pre teen. My mom always moisturized and didn't really use makeup so that's what I wanted to emulate as a child watching a women get ready. She'd buy my Mary Kay Velocity line to help out her friends making a living by selling MK or I'd get Neutrogena wash and moisturizer. It's the easiest thing you can do for your skin. And part of hygiene for me personally. I wish more people took their skincare more seriously.
I’ve gone back to oldie but good ones that have stood test of time because lot these new ones don’t really work .. they focus too much on skincare not actual coverage and finish in my opinion
I used the bare minerals matt like 9 years ago, I had oily skin and was the best with an amazing finish. Unfortunately I moved to another country and I couldn't find it anymore
I LOVE the Nars Light reflecting foundation but to the reviewer who gave it a low score, this foundation does not work well with a matt primer and any face mask will cause changes to your foundation from the rubbing to the condensation from your breath. A setting spray would help somewhat .. but when wearing a mask you cannot expect any foundation to perform perfectly IMHO!!! Some of these foundations are so old school that I have never heard of some of them .. and I am 53!!!! Mind you the Elizabeth Arden cream foundation was about all we had here in Ireland in the 80s!!!!
As I’ve gotten older, I have changed the makeup I wear because my skin has changed. It has become drier and I have wrinkles and creases where I didn’t. So I need a different kind of make up. I was very shocked at the choice of foundation, but was a bit redeemed when I saw the Nars in there. There are so many wonderful foundations out there that there’s no reason to wear something that is not working.
I think a lot of people use bare minerals because of skin sensitivity issues .. I remember years ago dermatologists told me use mineral foundations like it and Jane iredale
I love Estee Lauder Double Wear! Always looks great on me and great color range. I recently tried Dior Matte, its nice but more expensive and color match is not as good as my usual brand. Also tried bare minerals and gives great coverage but is rather heavy. If you have hyperpergi tation, you will love it.

What these best sellers tell me is that it’s really hard to find a shade match and when people find one they don’t want to go looking for another one.
That’s so true!!! Even if I try a new formula because it’s trending , finding The correct shade is truly a challenge!
I found my exact shade with double wear almost 17 years ago and haven’t strayed since then. SOLELY because I don’t want to find my shade in a different foundation. The struggle is real
Such a good point!
I found my shade with Double Wear so easily, because they have sooo many options and don't want to even consider another foundation for many reasons 😄
Oh my gosh! Yes! That’s 💯 true
Estee Lauder Double Wear is my go to even at my 40s and with dry skin, having my skin prep it looks radiant. I have using this foundation for over 15 years.
Este Lauder double wear is the Best Ever!! foundation is my holy Gril foundation of all time. Nothing compares to all these new foundations oldie but goodie. It’s my ride to die and It looks great on Photos. It looks great in any climate and I’m 52 years old. Makes my face look flawless. ❤
Haven’t used it in years but I once ran a half marathon in light rain with double wear on and it still looked fantastic at the finish line lol
You go girl!!🎉
Would love a video where you go back and try some of these super old foundations and compare what you remember to now!
They should try the bareminerals original mineral powder foundation again since they're better at makeup too! I remember loving that foundation! I'm thinking to go back to it now too and see if it works with my drier skin now.
@nikkilarose PLEASE try it again
BareMinerals a 1!??? I’m OBSESSED with this foundation. I use the matte one . I have combo skin. I have tried about 40 foundations and everyone’s “must haves” and I continually go back to it.

Try estee lauder double wear. Or try laura mercier loose powder with giorgio armani luminous skin
I love Bare Minerals loose and pressed powder foundations. I have tried so so many liquid foundations and I always go back to a powder. I love the way the minerals look on my skin. I also like using a powder because I don’t have to set it with a powder so it’s one less layer on my skin. They both look very pretty on my skin. Very natural.
I actually love that ulta is more staple then trend just because trends get tired
Prep with the double wear is key. It was my go-to years ago bc you can mix it with serum to thin it down or use it with a glowy primer. Stays all day.
I can GUARANTEE you were NOT applying the Bare Minerals properly!! It’s the BEST!! Skin like, doesn’t fade or crease. You can change the finish to glowy or matte depending on skin prep and setting spray. You can use cream products over it as well.

This was such a fun one! And SO SURPRISING! 😅😅
I’m looking forward to seeing your double wear video. ❤
I LOVE Bare Minerals! I have used it for years. I have oily acne prone skin and hyperpigmentation. I continue to try new ones, but nothing ever matches as well and looks as natural while still giving good coverage. If this got banned I would have a breakdown😂
These are some of my favorite videos on RUclips! You two are amazing together. Thanks for this roundup and your educated opinions 🥰
Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
I have to admit that even thought I used some trend foundations like kosas or haus labs foundation I always have a doble wear I feel it never disappoint.
I still love the Bare Minerals one even after all these years! It still works for me, and I keep repurchasing it!
The bare minerals is a great powder foundation! You should try it with skin prep now!

Double Wear is a holy grail and a tried and true. ♥️♥️♥️ Reliable and gorgeous.
I always get compliments when I wear the Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue -- always!
I also used Bare Minerals back in the day, and I had to stop when I realized how powdery I looked! I'm with the two of you on that one.

*Blending Estée Lauder Double Wear as I watch this video 😅 I love it!
Lolol I feel attacked w the Bare Minerals. I actually really like this powder. It has so much coverage for a powder. 😅
It’s the BEST!!
😅😅😅
Same 🤣🤣 I love my bare minerals I don’t use it as often because I love my ilia skin tint and L’Oréal tinted serum. But I still love it in the summer when I want an even skin tone/ reduce my redness but don’t want a full face of makeup.
I switched brands because I’m a weird color, but have been using mineral makeup since I started using makeup at 22 because of cystic acne. I was totally able to cover everything.
Y’all are my two favs! More collabs please! 🙏🏽 ❤❤❤
Complexion rescue is great it looks nice with a little concealer and feels cool upon application. Just went back to it …. Now the bare minerals powder foundation…. I used it when I was younger 20’s 30’s and wore a version philosophy had to my wedding… I would get compliments on my skin Alllll the time… I was oily and live in Miami humid as hell. This maybe why it worked for me…now there isn’t a powder foundation that would work 51 is different skin all together…❤love both of you❤️
The bare minerals powder foundation and tinted moisturizer are my go to. The powder foundation I tend to wear if I know I’m going to hit the gym straight from running errands or school and won’t wash my face. It’s never caused my skin to breakout. I wonder if that one review was because they were using the original primer they recommended with it. When I was a teen I tried the intro kit for that foundation with the primer and my skin did break out. Like 10 years later I got a facial and the esthetician really recommended that I try it again and said the primer is most likely what caused my issues. She was 100% right. Like I said, I just switch back and forth between the powder and tinted moisturizer depending on how I’m feeling that day or how much coverage I want etc.
I’m definitely interested in the Nars light reflecting. Make up for ever ultra hd will always be my favorite foundation of all time! The new formulation is still good but I definitely miss the OG
I still use bare minerals original because my esthetician recommended due to not having ingredients that clog your pores since I’m acne prone
I love the bare minerals foundation!! I still wear it today!!
This was a great video to watch. Two years ago when I hit menopause, my skin became "complicated" and my beloved Clinique foundations suddenly looked awful on me, so I went on a quest to find new products. I continue to have mostly oily skin with plenty of texture due to past scarring, but now with creases, wrinkles, and crepiness, but also occasional acne. I've followed the trends and have easily tried out a couple dozen foundations, both drugstore and high-end, in search of what works for me. Estee Lauder Double-Wear quickly became a holy grail product for me. In the summertime (I live in southern AZ) it's the only foundation that stays and looks good for an entire work day. Now that it's winter, I'm actually mixing it 1:1 with Haus Laubs as EL mixes so incredibly well with other foundations to increase coverage and longevity. When you reach this more mature age and have to battle hormonal changes you never expected, you discover not only that focusing on skin care and skin prep is an absolute must, but also that these "old school" foundations are actually pretty great. I also use IT Cosmetics CC Cream, Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Powder Foundation, Dior Forever Matte, the new Smashbox Always On, and the Nars Light Relecting Foundations, as well as the new Maybelline Skin Tint on the drugstore side. The quest for perfection changes daily depending on weather, the current condition of my skin, etc. Natural beauty takes time, money and a lot of work, LOL!
I agree! I’m also on my quest to find my perfect foundation match - with color and application! I feel you!! So much effort lol
As I've turned 50 it's so hard to find foundation that works. So right now I just use tinted SPF. And always hope a good foundation just falls in my lap!
I know so many people who love the bare minerals foundation. I can confirm that it looks good on them!
My favorite foundation is Pur Cosmetics. It looks like skin on me. I started with the mineral powder for years and now use it in warmer months because it's weightless and breatheable and the liquid mostly in cooler weather. It looks so natural. I strayed away to try others but went back fairly quickly. It is great for sensitive skin and I can fall asleep with it in and no issue. It tried bare minerals before but their shades had me looking like an ashy tinman. I may revisit just to see though. Its been a while things could have changed. I am for sure going to try LYS's because shes the one who came up with Pur's formula.
Susan and Nikki need to do a BareMinerals powder challenge 😅 So many people love them and swear by them. It's good to find out why😂😂
I love you both. Naturium is one of my favorite new skin care lines out there. Reasonable priced and backed by science not trend. Very innovative too.
Like these videos! BTW love the formula of the naturium lip balms/glosses but the tip brakes, please please fix the packaging
I discovered the bareMinerals tinted gel cream SPF 30 thanks to Susan and I absolutely love it. I use it for work and when I don't feel like having a full face on. I do use it as a sunscreen, applying a full finger length amount. I don't find that this is too much. I don't agree with the person recommending only a pea size amount. It provides the right amount of coverage with the appropriate sunscreen amount application. When I go out, I love the Estee Lauder Double Wear. It doesn't have fragrance and it provides full coverage. The bottle lasts a very long time, as you don't need to apply too much and the product stays in place all day! It is worth every penny! I preferred the light version, but, as they discontinued it, I started using the original version again. I literally use this during cold or hot weather. I still have a few darker shades of the light version and the light version is much better when it's proper hot!
I have never found a good color match for my light olive skin. I'd love it if you both would do a video on makeup for an indoor/outdoor wedding--my son's getting married in Hawaii and I don't know what would look good for pictures both outside and inside. Thanks :)
Dior ,maybelline y Nars tienen buenos colores para pieles olivas…para boda la base de Dior mate es hermosa la Nars soff mate es bonita la givenchi prisme caring es súper linda dejando piel de porcelana y mate
As someone who works at Ulta we do tend to have an older customer base and they tend to keep buying what works for them.
Mac studio fix smells like paint and it feels so heavy on the face. It was my favorite foundation back in 2000 but once I discovered Esta Lauder nothing compares.❤ Mac is owned by Esta Lauder.
I'm curious to hear about products you would consider classics that you'd still consider to be amazing even in the current market and with your current preferences
I love bare minerals!! I have Dior, Estée Lauder, IT cosmetics and love the look of bare minerals the best. The most natural and no pores showing.
Both of you are so good together and very knowledgeable about foundations! I live in Honolulu, where it's very hot and humid most of the year, so liquid foundations and skin tints just feel sticky and oily on my 71 year old combination skin. What really works for me is the Bare Minerals pressed powder foundation where it truly keeps the shine down and doesn't set into most of my wrinkles except for under the eye area. What setting powder would you recommend for dry, older under eyes?
Para los hojos el polvo de charlott o hourglass veil glow o b y terry o L’Oréal hydra
23:47 Don’t be talking bad about my Bareminerals! The brand I think suits a lot of different skin types. Loose powder is more for oily and combo but I’ve heard dry skin loves it too. My skin loves this foundation (very breathable) and hasn’t had a bad break out since switching back from other brands *cough* (Tarte). I can’t wear tinted moisturizer (everyday every season) like most ladies. This is lightweight like a tinted moisturizer but powder ! Plus less is more with this product and I do wash my brushes every week. 😊😏😉 My Ulta always has a slim inventory of Bareminerals. It doesn’t matter if it’s foundation to their loose bronzer. Tells ya that someone is buying it. I would say that the proof is in the pudding. I don’t know about lady and her skin history but the ingredient (bismuth oxychloride) might have caused her to break out. The brushes use to break people out because they were made of real horse hair. But they have since changed it. I hope she finds this video and reads this comment. Maybe try the matte or the pressed bare pro ✌🏻❤ I’ve tried a lot of powders from Ulta and I always come back to this Bareminerals. I have seen brands discontinued powders but they reign supreme.
Let’s do best of Sephora lip products! If we have to be specific, let’s go gloss and/or oils?!? Love your collabs with Nikki btw!
The original IT CC cream is my staple foundation for work and I have been re- purchasing for years. I am new to the Armani Luminous Silk foundation and although it’s nice and feels lightweight , I don’t think it’s very luminous or hydrating like I thought, it feels more matte to me, so if you have a recommendation that’s better , LMK please. TY😊 I’m 44 normal dry.
Same on the IT Cosmetics original. Anytime I try something else, I always come back to it. And when I bought the Armani, I didn’t get the hype. That was a long time ago though, so who knows how I was applying it, etc.
On the Armani, I was told to use a brush but did not like that, it did not feel hydrating, I much prefer it with a beauty blender and although it does look nice, it still is not worth the hype.
La Armani es así porque lleva alcohol desnaturalizado que eso hace que se sienta reseca la piel es un alcohol muy malo para la piel
Trends come and go but classics are timeless.
i love this series! ❤❤❤❤
Times have changed or not I’m sticking with my double wear for life!
Love the CC cream and the Double Wear the most from this list! 😊 Other foundations I also love equally, if not more, are: YSL Touché Eclat foundation, Light Wonder by Charlotte Tilbury and the Eaze Drop Skin Tint by Fenty. All of these work great on my dry skin! ❤ However, they are all pretty expensive. TBH, I never found a good drugstore foundation to this day, and I’ve been playing with makeup for years (I’m 30 years old).
You guys should go on a little mini tour, maybe makeup and skincare class
Yesss thank you for this video! 🙌
BareMinerals tinted moisturizer is my only go to! I absolutely love it.. it leaves my skin glowing & it’s not heavy at all. I wear it all year round!
Nikki what eyeliner are you wearing? It's sooo pretty !!
I’ve used other foundations, but once I found IT Cosmetics original CC cream, I haven’t looked back. I would actually love to find something else similar because their shade range is horrible and I have to mix it with white pigment. I have the Double Wear to wear when I travel for work (because I have to travel to an extremely hot & humid place). It definitely has incredible staying power, but overall I find it meh. I wouldn’t wear it otherwise.
I'm 34 & still never tried NARS. The Ulta near me had nasty old used up samples of the concealer everyone raves about and I couldn't seem to guess my shade. I don't want to create waste by buying the light reflecting foundation either. I really want to get my shades right in the creamy concealer and light reflecting foundation, I think I would LOVE IT!
I need a video on how to pick the correct color for Haus Labs. I need cool or neutral but get warm
Ladies! I am 70, have great skin and have used the BM Original Powder since my 40’s. You have to know how to prep the skin and how to use the product. A little goes a long way and once it melts into your skin you just glow. Wouldn’t trade it for anything. Get compliments EVERY SINGLE TIME I wear it. Even girls behind the cosmetics counters can’t believe it. Think you got this one wrong. Just sayin’
Susan, Could you cover what a proper skin prep routine before makeup looks like?
Are you two wearing the same makeup? Both lipsticks look great. Awesome color. Wha brand/color are you wearing?
I use the bare mineral foundation on my neck and décolleté as a bridge for my face foundation.
I am so pumped for this video. 💪 woooo
Omg the Tarte Amazonian is awful!!! I can't believe it was a top seller! Totally agree with you two!
I have been experiencing some ridiculous hormonal acne at almost age 46 and I just keep thinking about how my skin never broke out when I used Bare Minerals powder foundation. I am about to go back and try it again just to see if my skin clears up! I might look chalky and creased but right now i am all large pores and textured skin so either way it's a wash 😂
Really love when you do videos together!! Thanks so much. Looking forward to more :)
Very enjoyable video! I've tried almost all of these foundations in the past. NARS is one of my current faves, but with Haus Labs and Dior Forever Skin Glow and Matte formulations in my makeup kit, there is nothing here that I want to try.
Do a skin tint moisturizer video!
Great Video! I never found a shade match in Mac. DW still a love for special occasions. Bare Minerals is a throw back! I was in my 20’s when it came out and it was all the hype with like my aunts and friends older than me. Swirl, Tap, and Buff! You could only order from their website. When it became more accessible I was just like uhh… it was just too overhyped for me. Never tried it! Totally agree with Susan that Ulta’s list is definitely not on trend but probably foundations that are people’s tried and true.
You are certain age, and you don’t want to take the time, effort, or the money to experiment with new things. You stick with what you know works call it being loyal, or whatever. I have been an Estée Lauder girl since the 90s because I love the free gifts with purchase.😊❤
😅😅😅
I ditched bare minerals, as i got older. Hung in my un even skin. I never washed
My brush.
Love your videos!
I luuuuurve Bare Minerals Original loose power foundation! It’s the best ❤
Skin prep is key for using the bare minerals! It’s a great foundation that works well on my oily, acne-prone skin (:
Who as a 33yr old doesn't use skincare. I've used skincare since I was a pre teen. My mom always moisturized and didn't really use makeup so that's what I wanted to emulate as a child watching a women get ready. She'd buy my Mary Kay Velocity line to help out her friends making a living by selling MK or I'd get Neutrogena wash and moisturizer. It's the easiest thing you can do for your skin. And part of hygiene for me personally. I wish more people took their skincare more seriously.
Yes ❤ that’s my foundation now. It cosmetics nude glow. ❤ but I switch back and forth with my Dior forever foundation.
I’ve gone back to oldie but good ones that have stood test of time because lot these new ones don’t really work .. they focus too much on skincare not actual coverage and finish in my opinion
This is true!
@Marlena Stell rated the It Cosmetics CC Nude Glow SPF 40 as one of the best ones for women in their 30s & 40s. I’m 31, I have it & love it.
I used the bare minerals matt like 9 years ago, I had oily skin and was the best with an amazing finish. Unfortunately I moved to another country and I couldn't find it anymore
I LOVE the Nars Light reflecting foundation but to the reviewer who gave it a low score, this foundation does not work well with a matt primer and any face mask will cause changes to your foundation from the rubbing to the condensation from your breath. A setting spray would help somewhat .. but when wearing a mask you cannot expect any foundation to perform perfectly IMHO!!! Some of these foundations are so old school that I have never heard of some of them .. and I am 53!!!! Mind you the Elizabeth Arden cream foundation was about all we had here in Ireland in the 80s!!!!
As I’ve gotten older, I have changed the makeup I wear because my skin has changed. It has become drier and I have wrinkles and creases where I didn’t. So I need a different kind of make up. I was very shocked at the choice of foundation, but was a bit redeemed when I saw the Nars in there. There are so many wonderful foundations out there that there’s no reason to wear something that is not working.
I think a lot of people use bare minerals because of skin sensitivity issues .. I remember years ago dermatologists told me use mineral foundations like it and Jane iredale
I think after Mac reform the studio fix and my perfect shade changed, the formula changed and I have struggled since then to find another foundation
I love Estee Lauder Double Wear! Always looks great on me and great color range. I recently tried Dior Matte, its nice but more expensive and color match is not as good as my usual brand. Also tried bare minerals and gives great coverage but is rather heavy. If you have hyperpergi tation, you will love it.
Sorry I meant to say it cosmetics original formula. I used bare minerals when I was much younger and loved it.
Yay! I love my Best Girlie Videos 💕
