YES! Haus Labs for the win 🏆 🎉😍. It’s been my number 1 since it launched and I have a LOT of foundations lol🙈. Including all of the other ones mentioned with the exception of the stick foundation. And I love them all but Haus Labs is the one. I just turned 60 and have normal to dry skin. I get compliments on my skin every single time I wear this beautiful foundation. And so glad I found you:) I hit the subscribe button 2 minutes in. You are completely lovely:)
@@tammyroy9042 Hi Tammy! Oh my gosh, did we just become best friends?! I think we did 😂 We literally sound like the same person! 😃 Love hearing about your experience with the Haus Labs, it really is so beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing, it’s so interesting for others to hear your review. And thank you for your super kind words too, I’m so glad you’re here to hang out with me! 🥰🩷
I love your choices! I love Chanel Foundations, I love Huda’s too. I also love NARS and Haus Labs. I think my number 1 is now the Armani Silk, but Haus Labs may be tied.
@@AboutFaceWithMonaBagot Hi Mona! It’s funny you should mention the Armani, I could never make it work! However I’ve been using it recently & I’m enjoying it! Skin is a funny thing 😂 Hope you’re having a great start to the week! 🩷
I’m a new subscriber and just love your calm, thorough analysis. In my 70s now, I still have combination skin. As a teen my mother would tell me I would be grateful for the oils in my skin someday, as it would prevent wrinkles. She was so right!
@@carefulshopper4239 Oh wow, thank you so much for the wonderful compliment! That really means a lot to me ☺️ Your mother had very wise words. It’s just a shame we never wanted to listen to our parents in our teens! Thank you for sharing, I loved that 😘🩷
I have very dry skin and live in an arid locality. Hydration is a thematic issue for my makeup choices. I use the NARS Sheer Glow and it suits me very nicely. I got the a Haus labs foundation a couple of months ago on your recommendation, and I must agree that it is superb. Easily the best foundation I’ve found in the last several years!
@@ginnyburley9552 Hi Ginny! Oh I used to love the Nars Sheer Glow so much. Funnily enough I find it a little dry on my skin these days. If you love the sheer glow, then you’ll love the Light Reflecting! It’s much more hydrating ☺️ Oh my goodness, I’m so happy that you love the Haus Labs! Your feedback really means the world, thank you so much for letting me know your thoughts 😘 Always appreciate you, Ginny 💜
@@Haley-hz9gj Hi beautiful Oh wow, shade twins! 👯 That’s great to hear Haley, I always wondered how it would fair on oilier skin! Thank you so much for sharing, it’s super helpful for others 😘🩷
I own all of these and except for the Chanel, that I just purchased ant not tried yet, they are amazing. I have been absolutely loving the Guerlain Terracotta, foundation and concealer, it looks so beautiful without looking heavy, it covers my hyperpigmentation, I just love it. I have normal to a little oily in my tzone, and my under eyes have been dry lately but this concealer looks beautiful. All these foundations look gorgeous on you. Have a great weekend 💕
@@ClaraBarrerabeautyisageless55 Hi Clara! I’ve heard lots of great things about the Guerlain and you’ve now convinced me! I’ll definitely pick them both up in the new year. Thank you, lovely 😘🩷
Hello Carmel, regarding foundations, I take them matte because I have oily skin....For me the "Estée Lauder" and the "Clinique". The "Nars" foundation looks very beautiful, the rendering is magnificent on your skin. Thank you for sharing🤩🤩🤩
@@audreyso1201 Hi Audrey! ☺️ Oh wow, I used to love the Estée Lauder. Double Wear ‘Light’ was my favourite! I’ve never tried a foundation from Clinique but I imagine it’s super! Thank you for sharing Audrey, we really appreciate it 😘🩷
I have used the Lancome Teint Idole stick as well as the Lancome liquid foundation. You just taught me how to apply the stick foundation properly in this vid. Thank you! Appreciate hearing your top 5 as I have dry skin, so this was helpful to achieve glow and radiance. You are so right about the fluctuation of your skin and how that affects foundation. Love ya! ❤
Hi beauty 🩷 Oh I used to live for Lancôme foundations…I’m not sure why I ever stopped! Gosh, I actually don’t really know what the best way to apply a foundation stick is to be honest Laurie! Just do what you’re comfortable with, or just wing it like I do! 😂 Hope you’re having a great December! Love you lots! 🩷
You are amazing replying to your viewers as you do. Thank you for taking the time to do that! But, you must be so busy. Will understand if it gets to be too much as your incredible channel grows as it is. Lancome is good, but your choices are great. I have issues with foundations so I just use them occasionally. Older and dryer skin than I would like. Hope you have wonderful holidays too! Love ya lots. 🩷
Love the merit stick used sparingly for a glowy finish. And I’ve been using the By Terry hyaluronic serum concealer dotted about the face instead of Foundation recently. It’s really lovely used in that way, looks very natural and not cakey. I’m reaching for that over my foundations at the moment. Because I’ve been using retinol, I find my skin feels drier xx 💜💜
This was awesome Carmel 😍. You know I’m an oily girl so I enjoy matte or natural finish foundations. But you could film a video talking about paint drying and I’d watch it with deep interest 😂😘. I’m looking forward to the next one 😘😘😘 I hope you’re having a lovely time in this lead up to the big day🎅🏼
@@janvann8386Oh Jan! 🥹 You really are the loveliest! Thanks for being here, you really are amazing 💕 You should definitely do a video on foundations for oily skin! 🩷
Just a quick hello to you lovely! Doing poorly here beautiful friend...spending more time resting, but looking at an ER visit in my near future...😢. I can't wait for your top 5 drugstore foundations! No more often than I get out lately, it would be ridiculous of me to try a high end/price foundation. No matter what you post, I wouldn't miss you for anything! Wish we lived closer... I'd love to have you over for tea! ❤
Hi Kate, I’m so sorry to hear this 😞 Please make sure you’re taking all the rest you need - your health always comes first. Sending you so much love and healing. I hope things improve soon and you’re able to feel better & enjoy the season. Wishing we could share that cup of tea, too! Stay strong, my lovely! ❤️
I agree with the Dior stick foundation, I love it and it blurs my pores every time I use it but I would need shade 1W but they don’t do it so I had to pick up 2N which has the right depth but too neutral and pink on my yellow olive undertone on my neck so you can see the contrast, but if I blend it down my neck I make it work. The Haus Labs I liked but not my fave as I have more oily skin so it can feel too hydrating on my skin type.
@@greenbeauties Hi lovely ☺️ Thank you so much for sharing your experiences! It’s such a shame about the Dior shade. When you’re spending so much you definitely expect to have a good shade! It’s stunning though & as you said there is some flexibility there ☺️ Completely understand about the Haus Labs! It’s definitely hydrating & it’s great to hear from those that didn’t get along with it. My best friend has normal skin & she wasn’t the biggest fan either! Foundation is so personal, but it’s amazing when we do actually find one that we love! ☺️🩷
Great video. I usually only use the drugstore brands but recently bought MAC foundation but think it's the wrong shade. You have tempted me to buy your winner when my MAC is finished ❤
Hi lovely! How are you finding the Mac? Hope you’re loving it! The haus labs is definitely a higher coverage, not quite as serum like as the Mac. Definitely very wise to wait until it’s finished before buying anything else ☺️🩷
Haven't tried any of these yet but currently almost done with my 1st bottle of MUFE HD Glow foundation. It's long lasting when I lightly set it with powder and use setting spray. I use a Revolution setting spray (can't remember the name right now but it's for dry skin). It's a fixing spray? I have dry to normal skin.
Is that the Mufe Hydra Glow- that was released this year? I reviewed that and loved it! It’s a little too glass skin for my usual liking, but great when I want a hydrated and dewy finish! Thank you for sharing! 🩷
I’ve never tried anything from Haus Labs before so now I’m intrigued. My fave foundation is IT Cosmetics Cc cream for heavy coverage and Dior backstage for medium. Im nearly done with the Dior bottle so I will explore either the Dior stick foundation or the Haus Labs you mentioned! Thank you Carmel! ❤Have a fab weekend friend!
@@heartmumblr Hi beautiful! Well your skin always looks flawless, so I need to try your faves too. I’ve heard so much about the Dior Backstage & I know I’d love it! Try and get samples of the Haus Labs first ☺️ Thanks for being here Sharon, I really appreciate you! Have the best weekend 😘❤️
@@Katelyn-uk4gp Hi lovely! 🥰 oh wow, I’m so glad that you love it too! I genuinely think it’s unbeatable. Thanks for sharing Katelyn, it’s so helpful for others to read! Hope you have the best weekend! 😘🩷
This was a great and to the point review video. Definitely think Haus Labs really did the job. It was already blending into your skin on your hand. Looked amazing. I would love to see you try the IL Makiage foundation to see if it really works how it says it does.
@@misskingii Thank you so much for your lovely comment- I really appreciate it! ☺️ So I actually have a dedicated video on the Il Makiage from earlier in the year. If you scroll back to around May/June you’ll find it 🩷😊
Great video! No one can rip that Haus Labs from my hands 😂😂😂 my favorite foundation. One that you didn’t mention that I also absolutely love love love is the Pat McGrath foundation. Those two are amazing, I’ve even mixed them together and still amazing.
@@Angel-lt1sh Angel, this made me laugh 😂 Oh how I love my Haus Labs! It’s interesting that you mention the Pat McGrath foundation- I have never tried it! Only because I didn’t enjoy the concealer! Maybe I should give it a whirl, because it sounds like we have really similar tastes! Another one to add to my list 🤣 Thanks lovely, really appreciate you sharing 😘🩷
@@CarmelNicoleBeautyyes, it’s really great, I would only get on sale though because $69 is bonkers. It’s very liquid-y and lightweight, but just makes you look like you were birthed with beautiful even skin, it has a natural finish that looks like no makeup. The only reason I like the Haus a teeny bit more is because of that healthy glow it gives.
You may already have a video on this, but would love to hear your thoughts on the best sunscreens for under makeup. ☀️I’ve had a couple recently that have either pilled up (this was a chemical sunscreen formula) or that end up looking very dry by the end of the day (a mineral sunscreen in this case). Do you have any holy grails? Thank you for all your thoughtful, detailed content💫💜 I have some melasma that I’m constantly trying to keep at bay so sunscreen is a must for me. Although I don’t reapply throughout the day even though experts seem to say you need to. Just don’t have time and can’t face doing it over makeup. I read somewhere that a tinted sunscreen over the top of a regular one can provide additional protection to prevent melasma… always trying to make tweaks for the ol’ melasma…
@@ruthschambers Hi Ruth! Sorry to hear about your malasma struggles 😕 I completely understand the struggle with finding a good sunscreen that works well under makeup without pilling or drying out the skin. My absolute favourite is the Beauty Pie Featherlight SPF- it’s an SPF and primer in one, which makes it perfect for wearing under makeup! It gives a smooth finish and doesn’t feel heavy or greasy at all. I also love the ELF Woah Glow & Supergoop SPF and primer in one. All very lightweight. Honestly, I haven’t figured a way to sufficiently top up my SPF during the day. I completely avoid the Sun if I’m honest, unless I’m on holiday. Maybe in the New Year I will look into testing some different spf top up methods out! 😘🩷
My favourite was/is MUFE REBOOT foundation. I have had the most compliments wearing it. Cons: light coverage, not long-lasting (started wearing off after around 6 hours), the shade range is not the best. They have discontinued it on Sephora but is on MUFE website.
Excellent descriptions! Thank you!
That is really kind of you to say, thank you! ☺️🩷
