I am nearly 40, have dry to very dry skin and love this foundation. I used to have oily skin and tried this foundation then and I hated it. it was soo shiny after a couple of hours. my skin has now changed and I thought I would try this foundation again and it works brilliantly now. I think it probably works best with dry skin such as mine. I put it on at 7am and take it off after 10pm and it still looks very good. I touch up maybe once during the day. I do however blend it onto my face with Sigma F80 which seems to work best I think.
I know this video is three years old. But I just have to tell you that I appreciate your videos. Especially your foundation tests. I’m only 33, but I have my fair share of wrinkles and skin problems. I very much appreciate your authenticity. Nobody on RUclips shows close ups the way you do. Even when they claim to be foundation tests for mature skin. They filter and filter and we have no real idea of what things look like! Anyway. I love your channel! Also your eye looks are always beautiful. Thank you for what you do!!!!
Saved me some money as I got a 40% off this foundation in my email today, was going to try but my pores are huge! Glad I watched... 2years later... lol. 👌
I had such high hopes when I saw this foundation and bought it immediately. Ended up returning it 2 days later. I'm 22 and it settled into fine lines and wrinkles I don't even really have! And I have a normal to slightly oily skin type which is generally perfect for foundations. Definitely a dud for me.
This is an older video obviously. I'm in your demo, a bit older- but with dry skin. You're so lucky you have natural oils. I hear it helps with aging, even though at one time I was slightly oily and now normal to dry in winter- lots of light chemical exfoliation here. This goes on smooth as silk for me, but my skin is virtually without visible pores, thanks Mom. Love your vids. xo
Talk about Your Mileage May Vary- I had a very different experience with this foundation! I am going to be 53 next week. My skin is on the drier side, and my biggest issue is redness, and some enlarged pores on my cheeks. I have very few wrinkles, as I 'suffer' from RBF (resting bitch face 😉). I apply this foundation with my fingers, while my (SPF) moisturizer is still damp, to keep it from catching on my dry patches. I get medium to full coverage, and only set it with powder to help my bronzer and blush apply more evenly on top. If I'm using cream products on top, I can skip the powder and just use setting spray. For me, this is the best foundation I've tried in YEARS. I would encourage anyone with normal to dry skin to go ahead and get a sample; you may be pleasantly surprised.
Denise Brauner Thank u so much for posting this. I have hope that this will work for me. I will sample before I buy to be sure. I do have a lot of hyper-pigmentation so I'm not sure if it will be enough coverage.
felinekj I just heard that Charlotte Tilbury has a new foundation coming out in the fall. I think it's called Magic Foundation. It's supposed to be design to cover hyper-pigmentation and melasma! I can't wait to try it as my melasma drives me nuts!
Denise Brauner Thanks Denise! I was looking for something that was a little more weightless. I fell in love with the feel of the Make Up Forever HD foundation but didn't love the look of it after it settled onto my skin. XP
Denise Brauner Great to hear that my assessment that this would be good for people with dryer skin, tone issues but not too wrinkly is fairly accurate! Glad you love it!!
this is MY *holy grail foundation* :) I'm 47, have plenty of age spots, dry skin & fine lines all over. The key is to moisturize the skin very well, then apply a primer (honestly all of my primers work with this foundation, but I love it with the VDL luminious Primer. Very damp beauty sponge is the ONLY way to apply Born This Way. Any other way is like someone swapped the foundation with something else LOLLLL. I have foundations from Chanel, Dior, Estee Lauder, Stila, It Cosmetics, Armani, Shiseido...doesn't matter! I always reach for my Born this Way when I want to look flawless & I have the time to actually apply it the right way. When I'm in a hurry, I reach for the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation b/c it applies great with the fingers & it doesn't seem to need a primer.
I am turning 44 at the end of the month, and in the past have had the same issues as you have been having. I really appreciate the in-depth review, as I now realize this foundation is NOT for me! when I started having adult acne, I switched over to Avene Cleanance toner and wash. They have been my holy grail face saver!! I recently purchased Algenist Genius Ultimate anti-aging face cream and it's not too over moisturizing, and keeps my skin looking balanced and hydrated. As for foundations, I've been enjoying IT CC + illumination, Bobby Brown Skin Foundation stick, YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat, and most recently, Estee Lauder Double Wear and UD Naked foundation. The Bobby Brown duo-concealer has been nice, plus it comes with an amazing setting powder as well. I hope my suggestions help, I love women networking!!! Thanks again for the review :)
I am so glad I found you! I am 46 and get so tired of watching foundation reviews from 20-somethings that do NOT have any of the same concerns that we do! They think most foundations are full coverage and on me, they are light to medium at best. I have rosacea, large pores and broken capillaries with oily skin. Only foundations that work are long wearing ones, but always need concealer to do the real work. I would suggest Kat Von D Lock-it foundation mixed with something like Color Stay or Infallible to get great coverage, set with BE Mineral Veil on a puff. I wish someone would make a highly pigmented product that is thin in consistency! Great review & good luck with the wisdom teeth!
I totally agree with you on the Too Faced Born This Way foundation. I did not like the coverage, thought it made my oily skin worse, showed my pores, and never did seem to get a color to match. Thanks for your videos.
Despite the maIe name I am a woman. I have tried M A N Y foundations and this TOO FACED BORN THIS WAY is awesome! It gives me an inner gIow that I have not found in ANY other ones. My skin is dry but do use good skin care and a great primer. Iove this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think I am ever going to buy another product without checking with your reviews first.... I bought this a couple weeks ago because everyone on RUclips loved it! I tried it several days, in several ways and wasn't impressed. I think my Revlon foundation is just as good, if not better. I also picked up Maybelline better skin yesterday to try out, and I thought that was even better! I'm 36, and think if you're 20 maybe this would be great, but not for older skin....
My experience with this was exactly like yours. I had high hopes due to all the hype but was disappointed how it accentuated pores/wrinkles and made my skin look drier, rougher and older, even with primer and extra moisturizer, etc. I really appreciate your honest reviews! I vote for a Cover FX Mineral Powder review next. Wishing you and your daughter quick recovery from the dental work!
I don't know if you go back to old videos, to see if there are any new comments, but I wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your over fifties " show and tell " vids. I'm 75 years old with a tiny bit younger looking skin. Small pores, few wrinkles and dry skin. I also have hooded eyes ( born this way ), deep nasolabial folds ( ditto ), and with age - baggy dark undereye circles. I have no facial scars or wisdom spots - just a fair, Irish complexion. Years back I had great success with Mary Kay makeup, and of course huge changes were made and I quit! I've gradually found satisfactory substitutes for the foundation and undereye color corrector, but alas I'm still on the hunt for a cream blush that lasrs. The one thing I miss most is their eyeshadow wet to dry quads. Through mixing different colors ( on the heel of my hand ) I was able to show the tiniest bit of different colors on the 1/8th" skin above the skinniest grey liner. Would you consider doing a few minutes on wet to dry?
I am not hot&flashy yet but I love your reviews. I love how in depth you are and show close ups! Most you tubers only talk about a product from a distance. I really appreciate it and turn to you for honest reviews!
Thank you for all of your efforts to test the many different products. I enjoy your in-depth and honest assessments. I hope you and your daughter are doing well. Enjoy your upcoming vacation.
I just came across your channel and I'm so impressed by your reviews! Keeping it real!! Thank you!! And all the comments here are so positive and informative!! This must be the cool crowd!!!☺️☺️☺️😉
I just watched it applied with a brush by Tati on her channel and it looked like it gave a better coverage. She also did like a 12 hour check in and it still looked like it did when she first put it on. Although she is much younger than us 50 gals. That is probably the difference.
I sincerely appreciate how you put this review together. it was such a detailed and thoughtful review. You offered so many angles of perspective (if that makes sense) on this product and I feel it was a total 360 review. Loved it! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I am pushing 40 and looking for a complementing foundation. For now, I've settled for loreal infallible pro matte after moving on from lorac foundations. going to watch your other foundation videos now, many of which have some high end names I've been very curious about.
I used the Jane Iredale cream foundation years ago and I liked it . I have never found any powder foundation that I can use due to dryness and. I always have to get the liquid . I have be using the IT BYE BYE under-eye on my dark spots then a liquid foundation .
I am so enjoying these Foundation Fridays. I was surprised at the end that you actually liked it. Good luck to you and your daughter on your wisdom teeth. I still have three of mine and am keeping my fingers crossed they can stay in. Thanks Angie!
I've always wanted to hear what gals think about Jane Iredale so I will look forward to that review. I was going to try M4E until I saw your review. So instead I tried the Becca Ultimate coverage. It is very thick, super pigmented. I really didn't like it. My skin used to be combo even a little oily. So Bare Minerals powder was my choice for years. Now in my 50s my skin is quite dry and using Retin A makes it even drier. My go to foundation right now is Estee Lauder double wear. Thank you for your thorough reviews. I use many of the products you recommend.
Hi Angie, I just can't wait for your Foundation Friday videos to post. I really like the way you explain the product and give us the close up views. I know it has saved me some money from buying into the hype of some foundations. I still love my it cosmetics probably the best. In the winter I can use other brands. I would love to try the Becca since it works on your skin so nice. I am just waiting to see if you find one better than that before I buy another foundation. Thanks again for an informative video for the 50+ gals.
I think it was a great natural-look color match for you, but I've seen other foundations look *much* better on your skin. Thank you for bringing us such thorough reviews, Angie. Btw, what's happening with Women's Day? Would love to hear an update.
Over 40 also has a problem with it.. I bougt it.. this past spring & at 1st I was completely disappointed in it .. & found that if I used a little bit of moisturizer before it was somewhat better.. but then I started using a primer & it looked a lot better.. also I got the shade nude which I think for me was the completely wrong shade & even undertone shade . So I think if I had the right color it may work better.. thanks for your care & concern for us over 40 & 50's ...
Watching in 2018...I watch makeup videos daily. It’s my happy place - coffee or nail, makeup and food while my kiddos sleep. Your foundation Friday series is the BEST. I watch it on any foundation I’m considering buying! Love my L’Oréal True Match! And just got my It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores powder. Keep doing what your doing!
You will really enjoy your visit to U of M. It's a lovely campus, and shopping in Coral gables will be fun. It,s my old alma mater, and I loved my time down there. Good Luck!
I would like a review on the Cover FX next if the majority wins. Thank you for your very informative reviews I love how you get right down to it to help us consumers out.
Wow! That ist the best foundation review I have ever seen! You could almost call it a scientific study. These close up pictures are great. On other channels foundations always seem to work because the lighting makes everything look perfect.
Great video again - Good luck with the wisdom teeth. Mine are impacted and causing no trouble so they are staying where they are. Can't wait for you to find the perfect over 50 foundation for us
Cover fx. I had a sample of Born this Way in vanilla and tried it yesterday with porefessional primer. My skin is combo, and I completely agree with your review.
Thank you for the great and thorough video! I have this foundation and I agree with everything you said. 👌 💖It definitely has a more dewy finish on its own, light to med. It can accentuate pores when I use the wrong primer (dewy/hydrating). Without primer it’s perfect, looks like my skin. However, if I want a more coverage/longer lasting look, I like to use it with the Benefit primer and it lasts all day. I only use powder on t-zone and pore areas. No need to touch up. This combination has worked wonders for me, even when I’m peeling/dry from tretinoin. Also, I’d like to add that when I first purchased this I tried 3 different shade samples. The darker shade, vanilla, gave me a more full coverage look, even though it wasn’t that much darker. Warm nude was too dark, more of a tanned look and also looked full coverage/cakey. I ended up choosing porcelain and it gives me a natural light-med coverage glow. Shade is key yet so many ppl struggle with that.
Thanks for the review. This foundation looks like it is quite sheer on the skin, and I prefer more coverage. I no longer break out, but I have redness on one side of my face due to facial nerve damage, so I suspect I would have difficulty covering that. I saw you in Women's Day magazine; congratulations on your new job with them! Good luck with your wisdom teeth removal. I am a retired nurse who worked for two different oral surgeons, as well, over the years ,so I saw a lot of wisdom teeth being extracted! The medications can often make you weepy,so do not be concerned if that happens.They will insert gauze in your mouth right after the procedure, for you to bite down on to stop the bleeding, and it can usually be removed within 1/2 hour to 45 minutes, and discarded. If you see any bleeding return, they usually give you additional gauze to dampen, and reinsert, for another 1/2 hour,or you can use the tannic acid on a moistened tea bag to help with bleeding by biting down on that for the same amount of time.If the bleeding is excessive,or it does not stop, call your oral surgeon, or go to the local Emergency Department. We always encouraged our patients to have their medication scripts filled on the way home, and to take some pain medication as soon as possible, so that it has a chance to work before the freezing the oral surgeon gave you, begins to wear off completely. It is usually ordered to take every 4-6 hours, and for the first few days, you will probably need to take it fairly regularly. No using straws, rinsing the mouth, or blowing your nose for 24 hours (it can dislodge the blood clot formed at the surgical site) , and we found the best ice packs were bags of frozen peas, or corn, wrapped in a damp facecloth, applied for 15 minutes on,and then 15 minutes off, during the first few days.The oral surgeon should give you a syringe so you can begin to flush the operative sites when recommended; that helps to decrease the incidence of getting a 'dry socket'. A dry socket is when the blood clot gets dislodged prematurely from the tooth socket, and the symptoms of pain at the surgical site, and even pain to the ear, may occur 2-7 days following surgery. If this happens,contact your oral surgeon's office.You can also begin rinsing your mouth the following day, 5-6 times a day, especially after eating, with warm water and salt.The corners of your mouth are stretched during surgery so, they may dry out and crack; your lips can be kept moist with over the counter lip balm. Usually the sutures that are used will dissolve on their own within a week, although sometimes one may come out on its own prior to that; don't be alarmed. It sounds like you are stocked up on high calorie,and high protein soft foods that help to provide the nutrients that promote healing post operatively. Drink from a glass the first day, and stay hydrated by increasing your fluid intake to compensate for eating less food initially. Swelling and some bruising is to be expected, and may not reach its peak for up to three days. It may take a few weeks for bruising to resolve, so concealer is your friend! Things should run smoothly, but if you do have significant bleeding, an increase in temperature, or excessive nausea and vomiting, give your oral surgeon a call for instructions on what to do. Good luck to you and your daughter,and we will see you 'on the flip side'! Take care, Sherrey in Southern Ontario❤ P.S Canada's own, Cover FX review when you can, please! I use their loose powder to set my make up, and it is wonderful.Their contour palette was far too orange on me, unfortunately.
Timothy Sherrey Ehler Thanks for the instructions! Those were more detailed than the OS's!! My extraction was super easy, no pain, just local anesthetic, but oh, my poor baby girl! She's in such pain and her face is all swollen and bruised. We're following doctors orders so hopefully she'll be feeling much better in a couple days (we had it done on wednesday) and she's just starting to eat some eggs and mashed potatoes. xo ~angie
Your daughter should feel quite a bit better by now; usually most people seem to feel a lot better within five days, or so. She was lucky to have you around to see her through the worst of it. Hope things are going well for the two of you,now that your oral surgery is finished, Sherrey ❤
I still swear by Guerlain Lingerie De Peau Invisible Skin Fusion Foundation SPF 20.... i try so many brands and still end up back with this one.... makes me look flawless... im still going to search and explore but so far this is still #1
***** , I did not think the scent of Guerlain's Lingerie De peau was too bad however, I do love the scent pf my beloved Chanel Perfection Lumiere foundation. As for next week, I would like to see a review of Cover Fx. You may want to consider doing a test of some luxury brands such as Chanel and Guerlain.
DDelilahM, I have to be cognizant of the oiliness factor. If the Guerlain foundation is anything like Chanel Perfection Lumiere, it would be fantastic for me!
I noticed on ur photos that it settled alot into pores and lines and it had a oily finish😕 not what I am looking for in a foundation...it was almost translucent. Thanks so much for posting this video makes my decision to go purchase this product very easy.
anks for the series even though you haven't found that holy grail product yet...I would love to see how any and all products go on with a nice stipple foundation brush that is made for blurring pores.
Great review Angie! Truly appreciate your wonder efforts with this foundation venture!! I'm a Dental Hygienist and if I may, make a couple of suggestions with your and your daughters up coming procedure.... The oral surgeon will give you post op care instructions. Use lots of ice the first 24 hrs and get pain meds on board before the anesthetic wears off! Too many people wait to see how bad it's going to be after things wear off and then they are in a lot of pain. Take advantage of the anesthetic so the pain meds will work better! Wish both of you all the best!
I appreciate your your reviews and hard work testing products for mature women. You provide great information I can use to make purchases decisions for my almost 55 year old skin. One suggestion I have. I would like to see each foundation tested with the same primer and powder. It would give your viewers a better sense of the makeup and we wouldn't be wondering if it was the new primer/foundation you are also testing. Love watching your videos!
Hi Angie, I just want to wish you and your daughter the best at the dentist! ! It's always a little nerve wrecking situation. Hoping for a speedy recovery for you both.... Your in my thoughts ♡♡ Esther 😇
We are leading parallel lives. My daughter is scheduled to get her wisdom teeth out in a few weeks before she goes to college! I guess I will be buying the same soft foods. Thanks as always for the best reviews!
OMG! I was so looking forward to that foundation! The wear of that is exactly like what happens to me after hours of wear with my everyday drugstore cheap fit me matte & poreless! wow. Thank god I didn't splurge on that! I guess I just have to stick with my makeup forever matte velvet plus.... I have never found anything better than that for my aging oily acne prone.rosacea skin!! Thanks for another awesome review! ♡ Cover fx
I love this BTW Too Faced foundation. I'm 47 and do not have oily skin or enlarged pores, so maybe that's why it works so great for me. Others that have really worked for me are Mac Mineralize moisture foundation and IT Cosmetics illuminating CC cream. :)
Dry skin foundations are nice for me. Dr. Denese Hydroshield ingredients compared to hyaluronic acid is what I would like you to look into, Angie. Hope all the wisdom teeth removal goes well and that you and your daughter heal quickly. Thank you for the review!
I have been following you forever and really respect your opinions. Approaching my 70th b-day and having trouble finding the perfect foundation has been a real problem---until my purchase! Burberry Velvet Foundation. I have only worn it twice but so far so good. After watching your review I felt the need to share the info. Also, I just got voluma (spelling) after you gave it high marks. You are beautiful! Keep those videos coming!
Teenage daughters with super vision powers are amazing, aren't they? My daughter always says I have Dalmatian dots on my nose if my foundation is not great. She is 13 so she tells me I should just hang it up already, but at 48, I'm not quite ready to throw in the towel and give up completely! I am not a fan of the new Too Faced foundation, and your review confirmed my thoughts on it, as well. Good foundation, but not an HG for me.
Would love to see the Jane Iredale foundation. Cover fx is so hard to get here. Thanks for the review. What almost makes me mad that with so many great products nowadays they should be able to make a good product for us, 50 plus! Good luck for you and your daughter at the dentist!
Cover FX please. And good luck with the wisdom teeth. I got mine out recently and it wasn't so bad. I hope yours and your daughter's removals go just as well :)
Try mixing L'Oreal pro matte foundation with Rimmel radiance BB cream. Set with NYX banana pressed finishing powder. My skin looks airbrushed! I used Mario Badescu roe water mist as a primer, works great!!
Thank you for your honest reviews on products. You really go above and beyond with the demos . This is so helpful because I don't feel like I am going in blind to buy something. Could I suggest that you try the new Stilla perfectly pore less putty perfector and do a demo on that?
Have tried different mineral/powder foundations and couldn't get any to work. They seem to just make everything worse and not last as long as my HG liquid with mattifying powder. So either would work for me, as I enjoy all of your reviews. I really look forward to them. Great review on the Too Faced. Hope all goes well w/you girls. Take care, Angie!
Hi Angie, This is my first comment, which coincidently coincides with the week of my first hot flash (on Monday night just gone) so I now feel 'officially' qualified to comment. Loved the video (in fact I've now watched a lot of them and have enjoyed them all!!!) , and would like to see Jane Iredale next :-)
Thank you so much for this review. I have been lookong forward to purchasing this product but most reviews have been similar to urs. I just want u to know how much i appreciate the up close photos of the makeup. I feel like when i have eatched reviews and everyone raves about the foundation and my looks like thay and goes into my large pores. Thanks again for ur honest opinion.
Love these videos. I am on the search for THE foundation. I am 57 and my skin has changed once again to combo. I have pores, wrinkles, fine lines, and some small dry patches. I have tried so many foundations it's great to watch your reviews and save myself some time and money. Although I have yet to find a powder or mineral foundation that will give me the coverage without looking dry and wrinkled, I would love to see the Cover FX next please. Good luck to you & your daughter.
I'm 45 and i am returning this...i have normal to dry skin and it settled badly into every line on my face...looked so patchy all day long, i used the Too Faced hang over primer with it...i like the new Makeup Forever Ultra HD so much better for my skin.
I think you should compare the 2 fndns by putting half on each side of the face every day, alternating sides of the face each day so if you have more skin issues on 1 side, it gets balanced out.
Oh Angie...I am giggling...I look so forward to these videos! Every week I'm hoping you find us mature ladies a new HG foundation. I so appreciate your complete reviews and fantastic visuals. Have a wonderful vacation and best of luck in the oral department for the next few days! ;)
Hi Angie, I have seen that MAC has some new products a new waterproof foundation and a new cc cream. It would be nice to see one or both of those. Take care during the coming weeks!
Wow, you're a busy lady! My DH had the same issue with a wisdom tooth this past Monday. He put off for so long, avoiding the (imagined) pain of extraction. But he finally did it. Later that evening it was business as usual and no pain thereafter. Silly man! Many thanks for your search and results...they're fun & informative to watch. 53 here and have tried countless foundations in every price range. Nothing has beat out my Loreal (original, not Lumi) True Super Blendable foundation. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I still get samples and try various others but nothing has come close. Imho, it does it all! :-)
Poor daughter. I had 4 impacted wisdom teeth pulled when I was 17. I feel for her. My mom took care of me too. That was close to 30 years ago. Lol. I hope she recovers quickly.
Hi Angie, great video as usual. This is the other Angie and I am 1 year older than you. I am so excited you are going to do Jane iredale. I have been using for 2-3 years now. My derm used it on me originally and it took a few weeks to get the color right. They send so many samples in cute containers. Mine is warm sienna. LOVE IT. I got the bare minerals and becca but I love this one much more. I use the loose powder. Mind you my face is more on the dry side so this powder is great because it really doesn't give caky look. I now have been using it sparingly over the Laura Mecier moisturizer. LOVE IT. Hope you do too. Thanks for the vids.
I would love to see cover FX this week. Thanks so much - I desperately wanted to try Born This Way and I appreciate your honest opinion. I am not going to bother with it!!
I enjoy watching your videos...thank you for being so diligent! Due to my busy schedule, I don't always get to watch these in sequence. Would it be helpful to anyone else as well if you were, at the end of the video, give your "so far" #1, #2, #3 choice? Thanks!
CoverFX next :) I've tried the Jane Iredale...ahem. Good timing on this review...I've got the TooFaced coming in the mail today. Can't wait to see if my results are similar to yours...I'm on the combo side too. Well, if it's terribly "glowy" I'll just take it back to Ulta. Thanks so much for the testing!
vote for Cover fx...Angie, always so thorough and informative. You have to be the hardest working RUclipsr ! I always look forward to your foundation Friday videos. BTW you look great - I have a teenage daughter also and they are harsh. So don't fret too much because I think you look absolutely great for any age like a young Heather Locklear
Thanks for your great review on this as it was on my list for next one to use, but after your review I will have keep looking, current using Giorgio Armani but always looking for new one to try. Liked your tinted moisture and Becca foundation use.
One of my favorite foundations! I love it.But I have normal to dry skin. I have wrinkles and it does not accentuate them. Thank you for your ever so usefull Foundation reviews
you have absolutely gorgeous skin for your age, you are the same age as me, but i have horrible looking skin, dark circles under my eyes, always need concealer. i will keep watching, i hope you do a video of a good concealer, help!
People were all over you tube raving about this so I tested it on the back of my hand at ULTA and was not impressed! Still, all the hype made me want to give it a try. Although I am 47, people regularly mistake me as being in my 30's so I'd been weighing if I could pull off a foundation so many of the younger women are loving. I went back to ULTA as they have little sample tubs with lids there. I asked the lady if she could color match me and send a sample home with me. The makeup did on my face just what it did on my hand, just sit there looking flat and unnatural, accentuating wrinkles and doing nothing to enhance my natural skin tone. I had enough sample for 2 tries, so the next time I used my regular moisturizer underneath as well as the IT Cosmetics Anti-aging primer. The makeup did the same thing, looking flat on the skin, settling into lines and creases and just looked about as bad as a product as I've ever used on my combo face. It may be for you but do yourself a favor and get a generous sample to try before shelling out the money just to (most possibly) be disappointed.
Thanks for showing this. I discovered your video AFTER I already ordered it from Ulta. I do think it looks much better with the primer. I'll try it when it gets here and film my application. I still have to learn to use the beauty blender, not very skilled. I've been using a foundation brush, but I see the sponge worked much better.
I was going to say, please return it. I don't like anything that makes my pores look bigger, shows imperfections & settles. & if it doesn't last all day its a no. I'm 45, have fine lines & wrinkles, large pores on the tip of my nose & a few on my cheeks. I have broken capillaries & reddish areas & am dry with occasional dry patches & flakes. In spite of all that, my skin is in good shape but I do have my share of challenges. My favorite foundations are, Make Up Forever Face & Body, that's my Holy Grail foundation applied with a damp beauty blender x2 coats. Make Up Forever Liquid Lift applied with a foundation brush x 1 coat & a damp beauty blender for extra coverage where needed. Ellis Faas skin veil applied with their pen & finger tips. Bobbi Brown serum foundation applied with fingers. Bobbi Brown skin stick applied with either fingers, a brush or damp beauty blender. And Maybelline dream wonder fluid applied with a stippling brush, but its not for dry skin. I'm currently using Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue under foundation & I absolutely love it. My favorite setting powders are Make Up Forever HD pressed & Pro Finish, & MAC Mineralized Skin Finish Natural. My favorite setting Spray is Loreal Infallible, Bobbi Brown, or Make Up Forever. I've found the Loreal Infallible is equally as good as Urban Decay. I use Bobbi Brown hydrating face cream immediately after cleansing which has some primer properties already in it & I've found it to be sufficient for me. I wait about ten minutes before applying Complexion Rescue, I let it dry & then foundation.
Angie, thanks for the review. I'd like to see the Jane Iredale mineral foundation review first. I may still try the Too Faced Born This Way foundation since I have very dry skin, light redness in cheeks, only small lines under my eyes (I don't put foundation there). If all goes well I'll have to post how it worked for my 50 year old dry skin.
Am really enjoying these reviews. Thanks! Just one thing - you look so much younger without the cakey pale lipstick. You are so beautiful, and getting better every year, but I feel this takes away from the overall look.
I am 35 and have dry skin and large pores and I love this foundation. I don't put it under my eyes because I don't like to put foundation and concealer and then powder because it's to many layers and brings out my fine lines and wrinkles even more. There are so many new foundations out right now and every time I see I new one I want to try it but my collection is already ridiculous. I think I need a foundation intervention.
Hope everything goes well for you and your daughter with your dental work tomorrow! Color FX please for the next foundation review! I have used the It Cosmetics CC cream for a couple years now and lately it's just not working as well as it used to. Skin changes, gotta love em! Lol
I am nearly 40, have dry to very dry skin and love this foundation. I used to have oily skin and tried this foundation then and I hated it. it was soo shiny after a couple of hours. my skin has now changed and I thought I would try this foundation again and it works brilliantly now. I think it probably works best with dry skin such as mine. I put it on at 7am and take it off after 10pm and it still looks very good. I touch up maybe once during the day. I do however blend it onto my face with Sigma F80 which seems to work best I think.
I know this video is three years old. But I just have to tell you that I appreciate your videos. Especially your foundation tests. I’m only 33, but I have my fair share of wrinkles and skin problems. I very much appreciate your authenticity. Nobody on RUclips shows close ups the way you do. Even when they claim to be foundation tests for mature skin. They filter and filter and we have no real idea of what things look like! Anyway. I love your channel! Also your eye looks are always beautiful. Thank you for what you do!!!!
Saved me some money as I got a 40% off this foundation in my email today, was going to try but my pores are huge! Glad I watched... 2years later... lol. 👌
I had such high hopes when I saw this foundation and bought it immediately. Ended up returning it 2 days later. I'm 22 and it settled into fine lines and wrinkles I don't even really have! And I have a normal to slightly oily skin type which is generally perfect for foundations. Definitely a dud for me.
And this company is cruelty free so we love that as well!!!!!
This is an older video obviously. I'm in your demo, a bit older- but with dry skin. You're so lucky you have natural oils. I hear it helps with aging, even though at one time I was slightly oily and now normal to dry in winter- lots of light chemical exfoliation here. This goes on smooth as silk for me, but my skin is virtually without visible pores, thanks Mom. Love your vids. xo
Talk about Your Mileage May Vary- I had a very different experience with this foundation! I am going to be 53 next week. My skin is on the drier side, and my biggest issue is redness, and some enlarged pores on my cheeks. I have very few wrinkles, as I 'suffer' from RBF (resting bitch face 😉). I apply this foundation with my fingers, while my (SPF) moisturizer is still damp, to keep it from catching on my dry patches. I get medium to full coverage, and only set it with powder to help my bronzer and blush apply more evenly on top. If I'm using cream products on top, I can skip the powder and just use setting spray. For me, this is the best foundation I've tried in YEARS. I would encourage anyone with normal to dry skin to go ahead and get a sample; you may be pleasantly surprised.
Denise Brauner Thank u so much for posting this. I have hope that this will work for me. I will sample before I buy to be sure. I do have a lot of hyper-pigmentation so I'm not sure if it will be enough coverage.
felinekj I just heard that Charlotte Tilbury has a new foundation coming out in the fall. I think it's called Magic Foundation. It's supposed to be design to cover hyper-pigmentation and melasma! I can't wait to try it as my melasma drives me nuts!
Denise Brauner Thanks Denise! I was looking for something that was a little more weightless. I fell in love with the feel of the Make Up Forever HD foundation but didn't love the look of it after it settled onto my skin. XP
Emmy Ros She is not in my budget unfortunately! I hear how great most of her products are. Oh well.
Denise Brauner Great to hear that my assessment that this would be good for people with dryer skin, tone issues but not too wrinkly is fairly accurate! Glad you love it!!
You have the best reviews. I never see anyone give real close ups! This is great ❤️
I just paused this, went to CVS and bought essie chillato!! Love this color!
this is MY *holy grail foundation* :) I'm 47, have plenty of age spots, dry skin & fine lines all over. The key is to moisturize the skin very well, then apply a primer (honestly all of my primers work with this foundation, but I love it with the VDL luminious Primer. Very damp beauty sponge is the ONLY way to apply Born This Way. Any other way is like someone swapped the foundation with something else LOLLLL.
I have foundations from Chanel, Dior, Estee Lauder, Stila, It Cosmetics, Armani, Shiseido...doesn't matter! I always reach for my Born this Way when I want to look flawless & I have the time to actually apply it the right way. When I'm in a hurry, I reach for the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation b/c it applies great with the fingers & it doesn't seem to need a primer.
I am turning 44 at the end of the month, and in the past have had the same issues as you have been having. I really appreciate the in-depth review, as I now realize this foundation is NOT for me! when I started having adult acne, I switched over to Avene Cleanance toner and wash. They have been my holy grail face saver!! I recently purchased Algenist Genius Ultimate anti-aging face cream and it's not too over moisturizing, and keeps my skin looking balanced and hydrated.
As for foundations, I've been enjoying IT CC + illumination, Bobby Brown Skin Foundation stick, YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat, and most recently, Estee Lauder Double Wear and UD Naked foundation. The Bobby Brown duo-concealer has been nice, plus it comes with an amazing setting powder as well.
I hope my suggestions help, I love women networking!!! Thanks again for the review :)
Shauna Fidler Happy birthday, and thanks for all the suggestions!
I am so glad I found you! I am 46 and get so tired of watching foundation reviews from 20-somethings that do NOT have any of the same concerns that we do! They think most foundations are full coverage and on me, they are light to medium at best. I have rosacea, large pores and broken capillaries with oily skin. Only foundations that work are long wearing ones, but always need concealer to do the real work. I would suggest Kat Von D Lock-it foundation mixed with something like Color Stay or Infallible to get great coverage, set with BE Mineral Veil on a puff. I wish someone would make a highly pigmented product that is thin in consistency! Great review & good luck with the wisdom teeth!
I ordered the born this way foundation from Sephora also. I hated it! I didn't know I was born with such terrible looking skin LOL
what didn't you like about it?
+Roseari I hated It...It showed all My Dry patches....sent it back...😂
Lol I tried it.It settled in my fine lines on my forhead and around my mouth.
J- nice same here.
I totally agree with you on the Too Faced Born This Way foundation. I did not like the coverage, thought it made my oily skin worse, showed my pores, and never did seem to get a color to match. Thanks for your videos.
Despite the maIe name I am a woman. I have tried M A N Y foundations and this TOO FACED BORN THIS WAY is awesome! It gives me an inner gIow that I have not found in ANY other ones. My skin is dry but do use good skin care and a great primer. Iove this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think I am ever going to buy another product without checking with your reviews first.... I bought this a couple weeks ago because everyone on RUclips loved it! I tried it several days, in several ways and wasn't impressed. I think my Revlon foundation is just as good, if not better. I also picked up Maybelline better skin yesterday to try out, and I thought that was even better! I'm 36, and think if you're 20 maybe this would be great, but not for older skin....
My experience with this was exactly like yours. I had high hopes due to all the hype but was disappointed how it accentuated pores/wrinkles and made my skin look drier, rougher and older, even with primer and extra moisturizer, etc. I really appreciate your honest reviews! I vote for a Cover FX Mineral Powder review next. Wishing you and your daughter quick recovery from the dental work!
I don't know if you go back to old videos, to see if there are any new comments, but I wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your over fifties " show and tell " vids. I'm 75 years old with a tiny bit younger looking skin. Small pores, few wrinkles and dry skin. I also have hooded eyes ( born this way ), deep nasolabial folds ( ditto ), and with age - baggy dark undereye circles. I have no facial scars or wisdom spots - just a fair, Irish complexion. Years back I had great success with Mary Kay makeup, and of course huge changes were made and I quit! I've gradually found satisfactory substitutes for the foundation and undereye color corrector, but alas I'm still on the hunt for a cream blush that lasrs. The one thing I miss most is their eyeshadow wet to dry quads. Through mixing different colors ( on the heel of my hand ) I was able to show the tiniest bit of different colors on the 1/8th" skin above the skinniest grey liner. Would you consider doing a few minutes on wet to dry?
I am not hot&flashy yet but I love your reviews. I love how in depth you are and show close ups! Most you tubers only talk about a product from a distance. I really appreciate it and turn to you for honest reviews!
Thank you for all of your efforts to test the many different products. I enjoy your in-depth and honest assessments. I hope you and your daughter are doing well. Enjoy your upcoming vacation.
I just came across your channel and I'm so impressed by your reviews! Keeping it real!! Thank you!! And all the comments here are so positive and informative!! This must be the cool crowd!!!☺️☺️☺️😉
I just watched it applied with a brush by Tati on her channel and it looked like it gave a better coverage. She also did like a 12 hour check in and it still looked like it did when she first put it on. Although she is much younger than us 50 gals. That is probably the difference.
I sincerely appreciate how you put this review together. it was such a detailed and thoughtful review. You offered so many angles of perspective (if that makes sense) on this product and I feel it was a total 360 review. Loved it! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I am pushing 40 and looking for a complementing foundation. For now, I've settled for loreal infallible pro matte after moving on from lorac foundations. going to watch your other foundation videos now, many of which have some high end names I've been very curious about.
I am not into shine so love your reviews as they help me know what is for me. Thanks for another great thorough review Angie. ♥ Elle
I used the Jane Iredale cream foundation years ago and I liked it . I have never found any powder foundation that I can use due to dryness and. I always have to get the liquid . I have be using the IT BYE BYE under-eye on my dark spots then a liquid foundation .
I am so enjoying these Foundation Fridays. I was surprised at the end that you actually liked it. Good luck to you and your daughter on your wisdom teeth. I still have three of mine and am keeping my fingers crossed they can stay in. Thanks Angie!
Lisa Lisa65 The primer made a HUGE difference, I liked how "youthful" it made me look from a distance!
I've always wanted to hear what gals think about Jane Iredale so I will look forward to that review. I was going to try M4E until I saw your review. So instead I tried the Becca Ultimate coverage. It is very thick, super pigmented. I really didn't like it. My skin used to be combo even a little oily. So Bare Minerals powder was my choice for years. Now in my 50s my skin is quite dry and using Retin A makes it even drier. My go to foundation right now is Estee Lauder double wear. Thank you for your thorough reviews. I use many of the products you recommend.
Hi Angie, I just can't wait for your Foundation Friday videos to post. I really like the way you explain the product and give us the close up views. I know it has saved me some money from buying into the hype of some foundations. I still love my it cosmetics probably the best. In the winter I can use other brands. I would love to try the Becca since it works on your skin so nice. I am just waiting to see if you find one better than that before I buy another foundation. Thanks again for an informative video for the 50+ gals.
I think it was a great natural-look color match for you, but I've seen other foundations look *much* better on your skin. Thank you for bringing us such thorough reviews, Angie. Btw, what's happening with Women's Day? Would love to hear an update.
I thought it looked nice on you. It seems to look good on most I have seen . Thanks for doing this. Really look forward to Fridays!!!
Over 40 also has a problem with it.. I bougt it.. this past spring & at 1st I was completely disappointed in it .. & found that if I used a little bit of moisturizer before it was somewhat better.. but then I started using a primer & it looked a lot better.. also I got the shade nude which I think for me was the completely wrong shade & even undertone shade . So I think if I had the right color it may work better.. thanks for your care & concern for us over 40 & 50's ...
Watching in 2018...I watch makeup videos daily. It’s my happy place - coffee or nail, makeup and food while my kiddos sleep.
Your foundation Friday series is the BEST. I watch it on any foundation I’m considering buying! Love my L’Oréal True Match! And just got my It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores powder. Keep doing what your doing!
Angie.. I too am in search of the holy Grail for over 50..only one so far is skinn cosmetics plasma foundation . love it..
You will really enjoy your visit to U of M. It's a lovely campus, and shopping in Coral gables will be fun. It,s my old alma mater, and I loved my time down there. Good Luck!
Miki Thompson I'll be visiting Coral Gables a lot this year! Go Canes!!
I would like a review on the Cover FX next if the majority wins. Thank you for your very informative reviews I love how you get right down to it to help us consumers out.
Wow! That ist the best foundation review I have ever seen! You could almost call it a scientific study. These close up pictures are great. On other channels foundations always seem to work because the lighting makes everything look perfect.
Great video again - Good luck with the wisdom teeth. Mine are impacted and causing no trouble so they are staying where they are. Can't wait for you to find the perfect over 50 foundation for us
Cover fx. I had a sample of Born this Way in vanilla and tried it yesterday with porefessional primer. My skin is combo, and I completely agree with your review.
Thanks for your fabulous Foundation Friday vids Angie. I'd love to see the Cover FX next.
Thank you for the great and thorough video! I have this foundation and I agree with everything you said. 👌 💖It definitely has a more dewy finish on its own, light to med. It can accentuate pores when I use the wrong primer (dewy/hydrating). Without primer it’s perfect, looks like my skin.
However, if I want a more coverage/longer lasting look, I like to use it with the Benefit primer and it lasts all day. I only use powder on t-zone and pore areas. No need to touch up. This combination has worked wonders for me, even when I’m peeling/dry from tretinoin.
Also, I’d like to add that when I first purchased this I tried 3 different shade samples. The darker shade, vanilla, gave me a more full coverage look, even though it wasn’t that much darker. Warm nude was too dark, more of a tanned look and also looked full coverage/cakey. I ended up choosing porcelain and it gives me a natural light-med coverage glow. Shade is key yet so many ppl struggle with that.
Thanks for the review. This foundation looks like it is quite sheer on the skin, and I prefer more coverage. I no longer break out, but I have redness on one side of my face due to facial nerve damage, so I suspect I would have difficulty covering that. I saw you in Women's Day magazine; congratulations on your new job with them! Good luck with your wisdom teeth removal. I am a retired nurse who worked for two different oral surgeons, as well, over the years ,so I saw a lot of wisdom teeth being extracted! The medications can often make you weepy,so do not be concerned if that happens.They will insert gauze in your mouth right after the procedure, for you to bite down on to stop the bleeding, and it can usually be removed within 1/2 hour to 45 minutes, and discarded. If you see any bleeding return, they usually give you additional gauze to dampen, and reinsert, for another 1/2 hour,or you can use the tannic acid on a moistened tea bag to help with bleeding by biting down on that for the same amount of time.If the bleeding is excessive,or it does not stop, call your oral surgeon, or go to the local Emergency Department. We always encouraged our patients to have their medication scripts filled on the way home, and to take some pain medication as soon as possible, so that it has a chance to work before the freezing the oral surgeon gave you, begins to wear off completely. It is usually ordered to take every 4-6 hours, and for the first few days, you will probably need to take it fairly regularly. No using straws, rinsing the mouth, or blowing your nose for 24 hours (it can dislodge the blood clot formed at the surgical site) , and we found the best ice packs were bags of frozen peas, or corn, wrapped in a damp facecloth, applied for 15 minutes on,and then 15 minutes off, during the first few days.The oral surgeon should give you a syringe so you can begin to flush the operative sites when recommended; that helps to decrease the incidence of getting a 'dry socket'. A dry socket is when the blood clot gets dislodged prematurely from the tooth socket, and the symptoms of pain at the surgical site, and even pain to the ear, may occur 2-7 days following surgery. If this happens,contact your oral surgeon's office.You can also begin rinsing your mouth the following day, 5-6 times a day, especially after eating, with warm water and salt.The corners of your mouth are stretched during surgery so, they may dry out and crack; your lips can be kept moist with over the counter lip balm. Usually the sutures that are used will dissolve on their own within a week, although sometimes one may come out on its own prior to that; don't be alarmed. It sounds like you are stocked up on high calorie,and high protein soft foods that help to provide the nutrients that promote healing post operatively. Drink from a glass the first day, and stay hydrated by increasing your fluid intake to compensate for eating less food initially. Swelling and some bruising is to be expected, and may not reach its peak for up to three days. It may take a few weeks for bruising to resolve, so concealer is your friend! Things should run smoothly, but if you do have significant bleeding, an increase in temperature, or excessive nausea and vomiting, give your oral surgeon a call for instructions on what to do. Good luck to you and your daughter,and we will see you 'on the flip side'! Take care, Sherrey in Southern Ontario❤ P.S Canada's own, Cover FX review when you can, please! I use their loose powder to set my make up, and it is wonderful.Their contour palette was far too orange on me, unfortunately.
Timothy Sherrey Ehler Thanks for the instructions! Those were more detailed than the OS's!! My extraction was super easy, no pain, just local anesthetic, but oh, my poor baby girl! She's in such pain and her face is all swollen and bruised. We're following doctors orders so hopefully she'll be feeling much better in a couple days (we had it done on wednesday) and she's just starting to eat some eggs and mashed potatoes. xo ~angie
Your daughter should feel quite a bit better by now; usually most people seem to feel a lot better within five days, or so. She was lucky to have you around to see her through the worst of it. Hope things are going well for the two of you,now that your oral surgery is finished, Sherrey ❤
I still swear by Guerlain Lingerie De Peau Invisible Skin Fusion Foundation SPF 20.... i try so many brands and still end up back with this one.... makes me look flawless... im still going to search and explore but so far this is still #1
DDelilahM What do you think of the scent of Lingerie De Peau? I was going to try it but then watched a review that said it's really heavily scented...
The scent is mild....in fact I've been using it for a year now and I had to go in and smell it because I never noticed a scent before your inquiry LOL
***** , I did not think the scent of Guerlain's Lingerie De peau was too bad however, I do love the scent pf my beloved Chanel Perfection Lumiere foundation. As for next week, I would like to see a review of Cover Fx. You may want to consider doing a test of some luxury brands such as Chanel and Guerlain.
Lisa Feldmann
I find Guerlain products great for mature skin...
DDelilahM, I have to be cognizant of the oiliness factor. If the Guerlain foundation is anything like Chanel Perfection Lumiere, it would be fantastic for me!
Excellent, looks youthful and dewy.
Cover FX for next week. It so hard to find the right foundation these days. Thanks for trying all of these for us!
I'm soooo happy I found your channel I could cry!!! Loved the review and anxious to catch up on all your reviews and tutorials.
I noticed on ur photos that it settled alot into pores and lines and it had a oily finish😕 not what I am looking for in a foundation...it was almost translucent. Thanks so much for posting this video makes my decision to go purchase this product very easy.
anks for the series even though you haven't found that holy grail product yet...I would love to see how any and all products go on with a nice stipple foundation brush that is made for blurring pores.
Great review Angie! Truly appreciate your wonder efforts with this foundation venture!! I'm a Dental Hygienist and if I may, make a couple of suggestions with your and your daughters up coming procedure.... The oral surgeon will give you post op care instructions. Use lots of ice the first 24 hrs and get pain meds on board before the anesthetic wears off! Too many people wait to see how bad it's going to be after things wear off and then they are in a lot of pain. Take advantage of the anesthetic so the pain meds will work better! Wish both of you all the best!
I appreciate your your reviews and hard work testing products for mature women. You provide great information I can use to make purchases decisions for my almost 55 year old skin. One suggestion I have. I would like to see each foundation tested with the same primer and powder. It would give your viewers a better sense of the makeup and we wouldn't be wondering if it was the new primer/foundation you are also testing. Love watching your videos!
Hi Angie, I just want to wish you and your daughter the best at the dentist! ! It's always a little nerve wrecking situation.
Hoping for a speedy recovery for you both....
Your in my thoughts ♡♡
Esther 😇
We are leading parallel lives. My daughter is scheduled to get her wisdom teeth out in a few weeks before she goes to college! I guess I will be buying the same soft foods. Thanks as always for the best reviews!
OMG! I was so looking forward to that foundation! The wear of that is exactly like what happens to me after hours of wear with my everyday drugstore cheap fit me matte & poreless!
wow. Thank god I didn't splurge on that!
I guess I just have to stick with my makeup forever matte velvet plus.... I have never found anything better than that for my aging oily acne prone.rosacea skin!!
Thanks for another awesome review! ♡
Cover fx
I love this BTW Too Faced foundation. I'm 47 and do not have oily skin or enlarged pores, so maybe that's why it works so great for me. Others that have really worked for me are Mac Mineralize moisture foundation and IT Cosmetics illuminating CC cream. :)
Dry skin foundations are nice for me. Dr. Denese Hydroshield ingredients compared to hyaluronic acid is what I would like you to look into, Angie. Hope all the wisdom teeth removal goes well and that you and your daughter heal quickly. Thank you for the review!
I have been following you forever and really respect your opinions. Approaching my 70th b-day and having trouble finding the perfect foundation has been a real problem---until my purchase! Burberry Velvet Foundation. I have only worn it twice but so far so good. After watching your review I felt the need to share the info. Also, I just got voluma (spelling) after you gave it high marks. You are beautiful! Keep those videos coming!
***** Hi Gail~ Thanks so much and I hope you'll be really happy with the Voluma (I still love mine)! Happy birthday. Now that's a milestone!! xo
You are such a joy to watch Angie. Pray all goes well at dentist...CoverFx.
Teenage daughters with super vision powers are amazing, aren't they? My daughter always says I have Dalmatian dots on my nose if my foundation is not great. She is 13 so she tells me I should just hang it up already, but at 48, I'm not quite ready to throw in the towel and give up completely! I am not a fan of the new Too Faced foundation, and your review confirmed my thoughts on it, as well. Good foundation, but not an HG for me.
I vote for cover fx. Hope you both have easy recoveries! Thank you for everything you do!
I wish I had an informed foundation critic like your daughter. 👍
Would love to see the Jane Iredale foundation. Cover fx is so hard to get here. Thanks for the review. What almost makes me mad that with so many great products nowadays they should be able to make a good product for us, 50 plus! Good luck for you and your daughter at the dentist!
Cover FX please. And good luck with the wisdom teeth. I got mine out recently and it wasn't so bad. I hope yours and your daughter's removals go just as well :)
Try mixing L'Oreal pro matte foundation with Rimmel radiance BB cream. Set with NYX banana pressed finishing powder. My skin looks airbrushed! I used Mario Badescu roe water mist as a primer, works great!!
Thank you for your honest reviews on products. You really go above and beyond with the demos . This is so helpful because I don't feel like I am going in blind to buy something.
Could I suggest that you try the new Stilla perfectly pore less putty perfector and do a demo on that?
Their other foundation has been a miracle for me
Have tried different mineral/powder foundations and couldn't get any to work. They seem to just make everything worse and not last as long as my HG liquid with mattifying powder. So either would work for me, as I enjoy all of your reviews. I really look forward to them. Great review on the Too Faced. Hope all goes well w/you girls. Take care, Angie!
Hi Angie, This is my first comment, which coincidently coincides with the week of my first hot flash (on Monday night just gone) so I now feel 'officially' qualified to comment. Loved the video (in fact I've now watched a lot of them and have enjoyed them all!!!) , and would like to see Jane Iredale next :-)
Thank you so much for this review. I have been lookong forward to purchasing this product but most reviews have been similar to urs. I just want u to know how much i appreciate the up close photos of the makeup. I feel like when i have eatched reviews and everyone raves about the foundation and my looks like thay and goes into my large pores. Thanks again for ur honest opinion.
Thank you love ur videos, keep up the great work !!!
Love these videos. I am on the search for THE foundation. I am 57 and my skin has changed once again to combo. I have pores, wrinkles, fine lines, and some small dry patches. I have tried so many foundations it's great to watch your reviews and save myself some time and money. Although I have yet to find a powder or mineral foundation that will give me the coverage without looking dry and wrinkled, I would love to see the Cover FX next please. Good luck to you & your daughter.
Good looking make up. I vote for Cover FX
I'm 45 and i am returning this...i have normal to dry skin and it settled badly into every line on my face...looked so patchy all day long, i used the Too Faced hang over primer with it...i like the new Makeup Forever Ultra HD so much better for my skin.
I think you should compare the 2 fndns by putting half on each side of the face every day, alternating sides of the face each day so if you have more skin issues on 1 side, it gets balanced out.
jcjccmz Great idea!
Oh Angie...I am giggling...I look so forward to these videos! Every week I'm hoping you find us mature ladies a new HG foundation. I so appreciate your complete reviews and fantastic visuals. Have a wonderful vacation and best of luck in the oral department for the next few days! ;)
Hi Angie, I have seen that MAC has some new products a new waterproof foundation and a new cc cream. It would be nice to see one or both of those. Take care during the coming weeks!
Wow, you're a busy lady! My DH had the same issue with a wisdom tooth this past Monday. He put off for so long, avoiding the (imagined) pain of extraction. But he finally did it. Later that evening it was business as usual and no pain thereafter. Silly man! Many thanks for your search and results...they're fun & informative to watch. 53 here and have tried countless foundations in every price range. Nothing has beat out my Loreal (original, not Lumi) True Super Blendable foundation. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I still get samples and try various others but nothing has come close. Imho, it does it all! :-)
Savoirfairey E , would the l'oreal True super blendable work for oily/ combo skin?
Definitely! I have combo skin and find it gives me the perfect all-over satin finish that looks completely natural and youthful. :-)
Definitely would like to see Jane I.
Poor daughter. I had 4 impacted wisdom teeth pulled when I was 17. I feel for her. My mom took care of me too. That was close to 30 years ago. Lol. I hope she recovers quickly.
Hi Angie, great video as usual. This is the other Angie and I am 1 year older than you. I am so excited you are going to do Jane iredale. I have been using for 2-3 years now. My derm used it on me originally and it took a few weeks to get the color right. They send so many samples in cute containers. Mine is warm sienna. LOVE IT. I got the bare minerals and becca but I love this one much more. I use the loose powder. Mind you my face is more on the dry side so this powder is great because it really doesn't give caky look. I now have been using it sparingly over the Laura Mecier moisturizer. LOVE IT. Hope you do too. Thanks for the vids.
I would love to see cover FX this week. Thanks so much - I desperately wanted to try Born This Way and I appreciate your honest opinion. I am not going to bother with it!!
I enjoy watching your videos...thank you for being so diligent! Due to my busy schedule, I don't always get to watch these in sequence. Would it be helpful to anyone else as well if you were, at the end of the video, give your "so far" #1, #2, #3 choice? Thanks!
I'm glad I watched this video before I spent the $$. Your skin looks great regardless! I'm 40 yrs and you are my inspiration:)
CoverFX next :) I've tried the Jane Iredale...ahem. Good timing on this review...I've got the TooFaced coming in the mail today. Can't wait to see if my results are similar to yours...I'm on the combo side too. Well, if it's terribly "glowy" I'll just take it back to Ulta. Thanks so much for the testing!
So nice of you to look after her. I was 20 when my 4 were removed and no one looked after me haha
vote for Cover fx...Angie, always so thorough and informative. You have to be the hardest working RUclipsr ! I always look forward to your foundation Friday videos. BTW you look great - I have a teenage daughter also and they are harsh. So don't fret too much because I think you look absolutely great for any age like a young Heather Locklear
Terry M Thanks Terry!
Thanks for your great review on this as it was on my list for next one to use, but after your review I will have keep looking, current using Giorgio Armani but always looking for new one to try. Liked your tinted moisture and Becca foundation use.
One of my favorite foundations! I love it.But I have normal to dry skin. I have wrinkles and it does not accentuate them. Thank you for your ever so usefull Foundation reviews
I vote for Jane Iredale next week. Love your videos.
you have absolutely gorgeous skin for your age, you are the same age as me, but i have horrible looking skin, dark circles under my eyes, always need concealer. i will keep watching, i hope you do a video of a good concealer, help!
People were all over you tube raving about this so I tested it on the back of my hand at ULTA and was not impressed! Still, all the hype made me want to give it a try. Although I am 47, people regularly mistake me as being in my 30's so I'd been weighing if I could pull off a foundation so many of the younger women are loving. I went back to ULTA as they have little sample tubs with lids there. I asked the lady if she could color match me and send a sample home with me. The makeup did on my face just what it did on my hand, just sit there looking flat and unnatural, accentuating wrinkles and doing nothing to enhance my natural skin tone. I had enough sample for 2 tries, so the next time I used my regular moisturizer underneath as well as the IT Cosmetics Anti-aging primer. The makeup did the same thing, looking flat on the skin, settling into lines and creases and just looked about as bad as a product as I've ever used on my combo face. It may be for you but do yourself a favor and get a generous sample to try before shelling out the money just to (most possibly) be disappointed.
Please review the Cover FX and the primer ! Curious how they measure up against Becca. Love your foundation videos -- thanks!
OMG Angie!
Your eye lashes are something else!! Do you think it is the Rapid Lash or the Lancome mascara. WOW they really look gret.
BJ LIVIGNI Thanks! My lashes have grown so much since using Rapid Lash! The Lancome is lengthening and volumizing... Loving it!
Thanks for showing this. I discovered your video AFTER I already ordered it from Ulta. I do think it looks much better with the primer. I'll try it when it gets here and film my application. I still have to learn to use the beauty blender, not very skilled. I've been using a foundation brush, but I see the sponge worked much better.
I was going to say, please return it. I don't like anything that makes my pores look bigger, shows imperfections & settles. & if it doesn't last all day its a no. I'm 45, have fine lines & wrinkles, large pores on the tip of my nose & a few on my cheeks. I have broken capillaries & reddish areas & am dry with occasional dry patches & flakes. In spite of all that, my skin is in good shape but I do have my share of challenges. My favorite foundations are, Make Up Forever Face & Body, that's my Holy Grail foundation applied with a damp beauty blender x2 coats. Make Up Forever Liquid Lift applied with a foundation brush x 1 coat & a damp beauty blender for extra coverage where needed. Ellis Faas skin veil applied with their pen & finger tips. Bobbi Brown serum foundation applied with fingers. Bobbi Brown skin stick applied with either fingers, a brush or damp beauty blender. And Maybelline dream wonder fluid applied with a stippling brush, but its not for dry skin. I'm currently using Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue under foundation & I absolutely love it. My favorite setting powders are Make Up Forever HD pressed & Pro Finish, & MAC Mineralized Skin Finish Natural. My favorite setting Spray is Loreal Infallible, Bobbi Brown, or Make Up Forever. I've found the Loreal Infallible is equally as good as Urban Decay. I use Bobbi Brown hydrating face cream immediately after cleansing which has some primer properties already in it & I've found it to be sufficient for me. I wait about ten minutes before applying Complexion Rescue, I let it dry & then foundation.
+Jennifer Ellis I'm gong to try these - thanks so much for sharing your favs!
Thanks. Missed that one.
Angie, thanks for the review. I'd like to see the Jane Iredale mineral foundation review first. I may still try the Too Faced Born This Way foundation since I have very dry skin, light redness in cheeks, only small lines under my eyes (I don't put foundation there). If all goes well I'll have to post how it worked for my 50 year old dry skin.
Tammy Girl I think you'll really like it! Definitely give it a try.
Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts about the foundation. I would love to hear and see your thoughts about Cover fx next. Thank you!
OMG thank you for the close ups
Am really enjoying these reviews. Thanks! Just one thing - you look so much younger without the cakey pale lipstick. You are so beautiful, and getting better every year, but I feel this takes away from the overall look.
I am 35 and have dry skin and large pores and I love this foundation. I don't put it under my eyes because I don't like to put foundation and concealer and then powder because it's to many layers and brings out my fine lines and wrinkles even more. There are so many new foundations out right now and every time I see I new one I want to try it but my collection is already ridiculous. I think I need a foundation intervention.
Hope everything goes well for you and your daughter with your dental work tomorrow!
Color FX please for the next foundation review! I have used the It Cosmetics CC cream for a couple years now and lately it's just not working as well as it used to. Skin changes, gotta love em! Lol
