You described my fragrance sensitivity exactly. I never used to be so sensitive to the point of having to avoid certain products. Now, especially since menopause I've become sensitive and allergic to many ingredients, fragrance being number 1. 😕 I also can no longer use sunscreens with chemical filters. Last year I tried out a combination sunscreen with both zinc oxide and chemical. I ended up with a nasty case of contact dermatitis on my face and neck. 😩 Despite the heavy floral influence, this foundation looks really nice...so smooth. I think the shade is also very good. I too am a fan of the ColourPop Vibe Check palette, so pretty! When I get a dry patch of skin, I apply a tiny bit of Aquaphor healing ointment and massage it into the area before applying foundation. It really helps to camouflage it. 😊
I'm one of those people that can not use fragrance because I became over sensitised to it. I LOVE the fact that more companies have caught on that there is a market for non fragranced skincare and make up. If you offer a fragrance / essential oil free product, you will have my business. I just got to the part in your video where you mention you got some shades from Jones Road. I'm so happy for you! It shows that people have noticed you, like your style and what you do. I really hope you start to get more stuff gifted to you that you can share with us.
I'm so glad you shared this Amanda because I feel like a lot of people are like, "well that won't happen to me," (sensitization to ingredients over time)... it wasn't as big of an issue when only a product here or there had fragrance, but now we use so many things between skin care and personal care and makeup and nearly everything has fragrance in it! We're sensitizing our skin way faster than in decades past.
The foundation looks great on you Shelly. I’m one of those who is now sensitized to fragrance. I was breaking out in hives and my allergy tests came back as allergic to fragrance and Bromo (also in skin care)! Ugh
I have that elf sponge in a dark purple/reddish color and love it. Just bought the mini Armani something foundation and I’m loving it. I may have to try this too.
Yesss so excited to see this review from you Shelley! I have the shade 1.5N in my Ulta basket currently. Depending on how you feel about this, I will be ordering it today!
I have sensitive skin, and I tried this, I analyzed its ingredients and apparently it has no fragrance, the smell is from the flowers that are part of the formula. This foundation is gorgeous♡
Shelly …would love to see your take in the video concept “what makeup products would you immediately re-purchase, if you lost all your existing collection?” Hope you have a lovely day ahead and take care you too❤❤❤❤
Congrats on the Jones Road PR package!! That is awesome!!! I’m in the minority but I like the WTFoundation for light coverage days…..especially in the winter when my skin is extra dry. I just purchased their new bronzer in the red/pink/brown shade and it’s great. I’m curious to see how you like the magic balm. I have been going back and forth on purchasing. I’m concerned about it remaining tacky once applied…..and LOL……I prefer not have my cat’s hair attached to my face 😂
Hi Shelley this one looks pretty, but Dior only do my shade (00) in the Forever matte and glow foundations. The backstage has their lightest shade as 0.5 and it's almost orange on me. I will have a look at this one next time I'm in Edinburgh to check the shades. I will mix my shade in some foundations, but these spendy ones I don't want to have to mix tbh. The reformulation of the matte and glow foundations have so much alcohol in them they make me look about 30 years older within a couple of hours (even when mixed with a drop of oil and over really good skin prep). It's such a shame as I was so excited to get such an excellent shade match. Best wishes.
You look great, Shelly! This looks really nice on you and love your eyeshadow & blush, too! Looking forward to your Jones Road video ~ I just rec’d my WTFoundation today after seeing your review :) 😅 Watching your vids is proving to be very expensive lol !! Thank you for what you do & for being such a Light on yt!!! ✨💫⭐️
It is a really good foundation. I Love the look on my skin. It has the same Frageance than the other Forever Foundations. I don't mind that, but they have not the right shade for me. I am 1CR or 0CR in the other Foundations and that is not available here in Germany. Allergies bother me too, so I feel with you 😉
You look lovely…. I’m anxious to try the Haus Labs foundation once I get some of my others used up. So glad you gave it an A… I can’t do scented foundation, instant migraine…
Watch Dr. Dray here on RUclips. She’s a dermatologist and is always reviewing products - cosmetics and skin care. She’ll help you. She’s helped me, and a whole bunch of people, get their skincare together.
Nars! It currently is the highest rated foundation I've got and I have a hard time imagining that being beat anytime soon (since it took 300 reviews to find one I rated 100%!)
Because it appeals to the consumer and it sells! Personally I love a bit of fragrance in my skincare and makeup as I don’t have a sensitivity to it but I absolutely understand why people don’t appreciate fragrance in skincare and makeup
Hi Shelly, Dior has launched the new reformulated version. Perhaps you should return it to Ulta and see if they have the new one. The lettering is horizontal, just like the other Forever foundations. I love this foundation, but it is scented and it oxidises like crazy, even in the bottle! I hope the new version - which I have not tried yet - is not so heavily fragranced.
I'd probably go Dior as it feels a little lighter on the skin to me but Estee Lauder has been an all time favorite of mine for years so I can't really say anything bad about the EL!
Hi 😊 Did you get this in store or online? This is a brand new 1, I just looked it up. I have Dior but I noticed your bottle was different, gonna have to check this out!
Got it online so I'm guessing Ulta sent me their old one :( They had it marked "new" but now I'm thinking that's because they just started carrying Dior makeup, so it's new to Ulta but not the new formula.
Hi Shelly, I always watch you because I think you have the exact same skin tone as I have. Wet and wild tinted hydrator in fair is my perfect match. Please, can you tell me if you could find your right shade from the loreal true match? I really want to try it but loreal tends to be to yellow/ orange for me. Thank you!
I've never had a perfect match in the True Match line. I seem to fall between 1 and 2 but they're usually leaning yellow on me - but I haven't tried the lighter shades in the new formula yet so if I find one that works I'll definitely share the shade!
I don’t like fragrance! Especially in foundation I don’t like it unless it’s completely on the bottom of the ingredients really. But the Huda beauty powder fragrance idk makes me want to use the powder every morning cuz I feel so luxurious using it and I love the smell. So I mean idk but in that powder I like it , it’s the first makeup product I like for a fragrance and it doesn’t bother my skin personally
Hey hey, I wanted to let u know not to buy the lighter shade of that Joah foundation you tried last video, i remember you saying it was a little too dark. I got the lighter one and it’s too light. I wish I would just got the one you got ugh and I don’t want to return it cuz they waste it so I might just mix it with something else and get correct shade later
I watched the video on the Lancôme Génifique, and there is another one with the same ingredient called Numbuzin #3. Have you tried it? I love the Lancôme, but it is too much money for me.
I also love ulta. I vastly prefer the instore experience over sephora too. Idk about other people, but sephoras in my area are always so cramped, and the high contrast black and white stripes everywhere is not pleasing to my brain lol
Hey Shelly! My worst allergy is to overpriced makeup. Why does it even exist? Other allergies include pollen and just dust in general, which is always fun as I work outdoors in all kinds of weather and smog here in Southern California. I also have rosacea, so I'm particularly careful about fragrance in skincare and makeup products. I can't take allergy meds bc of cardiac & blood pressure issues that are controlled by meds. So what's a girl to do? I find products I like that don't set my face on fire or get my sinuses draining like floodwaters, and things that don't cause my wallet to weep, and I pray the manufacturers don't reformulate or discontinue my finds. So I really appreciate your videos - even when I know I'll never try the product you're demonstrating, your running narration sometimes gives such valuable bits of wisdom and clues to other products and procedures. I never know what I can learn from you. Thank you for your energy and hey, have a great week ahead!
Thanks, Cathy!!! I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't take allergy meds. I feel like I'm a whole different human (in a bad way) without them during pollen season!
My local Sephora is gone!!! Usually order on line, actually went to JC Penny’s to smell a specific perfume…. Just gone!!! It’s gone and has been since last fall…. I looked it up, JC Penny’s is apparently going to start a line… in an overly saturated market, there needs to be a new make up line like I need a boil on my ass (I don’t 😂) it’s disappointing to see any successful business close….💔💔 This foundation has the perfect finish…. I’ve forgotten until recently, I love the finish on the Wet n Wild dewy foundation…. Nice ♥️♥️💋💋
It's very pretty and one of the better skin matches ...do you think high-end foundations (like at Ulta) are generally better than those found at a drugstore (such as CVS) ? This $$ one may prompt me to try it could I find it on sale since you gave high praise. Going to ck out Ulta Rewards program. Go Squirrels !! 🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️ 😁😸
These days I think there are excellent foundations in both drugstore and high end! Not all drugstore foundations are lesser quality and not all high end are great... which is part of why I wanted to make foundation reviews a cornerstone of my channel, because it's one of those products that even at the drugstore can lean more expensive, and between all the variables like finish and shade match and levels of coverage, on top of just whether or not it works with your own body chemistry, it can be expensive to narrow it down on your own! My foundation spreadsheet has all of my foundations ranked, and you'll see there's a mix of drugstore and high end in the top scores - geekoutofwater.com/foundation-fest/ In general though I do find a higher percentage of overall high end foundations work better for me, but there are some gems at the drugstore for sure. Wet n Wild Tinted Hydrator is one of my favorites of all time and I'm pretty sure it's still less than $10.

This is a hidden gem! It’s hands down one of the best I have ever tried! 43 with very dry skin and fine lines.

That is good to know! Thanks, Eli! I have great luck with Dior foundations.
This is my holy-grail! I have Dry, sensitive skin with fine lines. I am 53 and loving it! It has fragrance- unfortunately- but no alcohol! ❤
This foundation looks stunning on you!
Shelly …would love to see your take in the video concept “what makeup products would you immediately re-purchase, if you lost all your existing collection?” Hope you have a lovely day ahead and take care you too❤❤❤❤

I love Dior foundation❤
One of my favorite foundations!!! So good! So happy we sell it at Ulta now, but so sad I don't have Dior at my location yet!😭😂♥
My favourite foundations are Dior Glow and Face & Body. I hate the fragrance too, but it does dissipate quickly.
I can't use fragrance now that I'm 45. It all started around 43 years old, and now I'm screwed. Can't use hardly anything.
Watch Dr. Dray here on RUclips. She’s a dermatologist and is always reviewing products - cosmetics and skin care. She’ll help you. She’s helped me, and a whole bunch of people, get their skincare together.
Thank you for this video, Shelly. Which foundation you like better, this Dior or Nars Light Reflecting?
Nars! It currently is the highest rated foundation I've got and I have a hard time imagining that being beat anytime soon (since it took 300 reviews to find one I rated 100%!)
Your hair is 🔥
What is the brain behind putting a bucket of perfume into products not meant to be used as deodorant? 🤔
I definitely don't understand it, especially when it can be so sensitizing to the skin.
Because it appeals to the consumer and it sells! Personally I love a bit of fragrance in my skincare and makeup as I don’t have a sensitivity to it but I absolutely understand why people don’t appreciate fragrance in skincare and makeup
Ooooh can’t wait to see Jones Road too! Looking good my friend.

Hi!! Gorgeous, you look beautiful as always ❤❤❤❤ love your videos

What a great idea, I'd pay for that. Fantastic App idea. xoxo

Ulta is much better than Sephora. The ulta points is a big deal and I love it
Yep even with Sephora improving their points choices, I'd still rather have my pick of an entire store of anything I want!
Hey hey, I wanted to let u know not to buy the lighter shade of that Joah foundation you tried last video, i remember you saying it was a little too dark. I got the lighter one and it’s too light. I wish I would just got the one you got ugh and I don’t want to return it cuz they waste it so I might just mix it with something else and get correct shade later
Bummer!!! I'm glad you posted though because at least we know that we're somewhere in between.
I watched the video on the Lancôme Génifique, and there is another one with the same ingredient called Numbuzin #3. Have you tried it? I love the Lancôme, but it is too much money for me.
I haven't tried that one but I switched to the Isntree bifida serum - amzn.to/3LjiiJe
Pizza! Yum!
Hey could you do a face prep video
Added to my list! Thanks, Lori!
I love the Dior foundations..unfortunately had terrible allergic reactions to them. So bummed because it would be an OG for me.
That is a bummer! :(
I also love ulta. I vastly prefer the instore experience over sephora too. Idk about other people, but sephoras in my area are always so cramped, and the high contrast black and white stripes everywhere is not pleasing to my brain lol

My Sephora in JCP is doing the same thing - it looked like their new alternative was almost open last time I was there. Such a bummer.

Didn't know this existed maybe because the forever glow isn't even glowy
