I've used this foundation successfully using a tip from another RUclipsr that said to add a small drop of your favorite facial oil (I use water soluble vitamin E oil) to any foundation. It adds moisture, and makes it spread more easily. However, I do finish it off with powder.
YES, please do the foundations weekly. Try the CYO -- it seems to be a real big hit. I just picked it up today and will be trying it out tomorrow. Update: I tested this yesterday and it was a positive result... I am very surprised. My skin is very shiney, but not very oily and I hate that. Most matte foundations and powder hold back the shine a few hours. This Foundation held back that luminosity for over 7 hours, barely settled into my creases, and it didn't attach or causel dry spots. I tested it with the Hourglass primer yesterday and today I'm going to test it without primer. I have to wait to find out if will cause breakouts. I'm crossing my fingers, but so far it might replace my Chanel foundation.😍
I apply dots with my fingers, rub it around slightly, then used my blending sponge. I use a lot more than you though. I use 2-3 pumps. It stays better under my mask after I use setting powder. I was using Tarte Face Tape and Morphe Filter effect, but I like this better. Better coverage, my skin feels better, and lasts longer under my mask. I was pleasantly surprised.
Thanks Lou. I'd like to see more makeup like this for women in their late 40;s and up. I can't seem to find a foundation that blends into my skin without it looking dry, spotty or cakey. I moisturize before hand but it always has dry patches where it won't sink in.
Thanks for the review Lou. I don't know what CG is putting in their newer foundations, but some of them smell horrible. I bought one a couple of weeks ago & ended up taking it back. I couldn't stand the smell & it was breaking apart on my skin. So I replaced it with a Maybelline Fit Me foundation, which doesn't smell and works so much better for me. Have a fabulous weekend ❤❤❤
I"d like to hear the shade you will be using right away in the video as that't the only thing I am interested in .. looking at the shades of it. thanks !
Just stumbled. Upon you and. Ive been wanting to try this too. Im 41 and care for my skin pretty well. And you are also absolutely fun to watch. Funny lady!!
I am using Cover Girl Simply Ageless 3 in 1 the liquid one since many years,, shade 220, Creamy natural. It is my exact shade. No smell. I love it. I am above 60 years. I hope they do not discontinue it as years before I was using Cover Girl Advanced Radiance foundation shade 115 and it was perfect. I stocked on it. Then it was suddenly discontinued. I panicked and got in contact with a cover girl specialist who advised me to use shade 220 from the new version. It worked. I had tried the compact foundation but did not like it. The liquid one was best. There may be better foundations but I am not able to find my shade. By the way, I sometimes use the primer from Benefit porefessional which is wonderful. I have combination skin.
It seems like you and I have similar coloring but I have freckles. I'm also older, 51, and I battle redness. I'm not interested in full coverage foundation. I do want cruelty free, natural products and a light, natural look.
If you let the foundation dry for a bit, that would cause the issue with blending. The formula after dry down wants to protect against disturbing the makeup. So that would make a lot of sense. New sub here! Love your personality!!! Your like my long lost sister lol. ❤️
Adina Lalu - Vichy Teint Idéal cream foundation is the only foundation I use. The regular one in the pump oxidizes like crazy. I also love and only use the brightening concealer. I swear by them both. I would love to see Lou’s take on them as well.
I'll pass on the "cigarettes and flowers"! 😂 I have stopped wearing foundation all together because I think it settles into my thick lines and makes me look older. Any thoughts? Will look forward to seeing new affordable drugstore foundations. Beautiful as always! Love you, Lou! ❤ #1 Louzer
I also feel this way - was never a fan of foundation to be honest, but nowadays whenever I try one, it just makes me look older. I also hate the feeling on my skin. I'm no expert at it of course, and have not tried that many brands, but trying/testing is also such a gamble/waste of money.
I agree. Older skin has a texture (crepe) to it besides both fine and deeper wrinkles and sags. Foundation does not make any of that better. If anything it emphasizes those things. I'll pass on it as well.
It's funny as I haven't worn makeup in decades but I DO enjoy watching your makeup videos...and all the others too. That being said...this foundation looks nice but, like you said, wearing it for one day is not the greatest test. What works well one day doesn't always work well the next day. Skin can be moody...I know mine is. My skin has most always been combination skin...oily on the forehead, nose & chin area and dry on the eyes & cheeks. I think if I wore makeup, I would definitely give this a try. I DO still like to play around with makeup sometimes so, we'll see!
Have you tried the Flesh Thickstick foundation? I tried it and really liked it but with my oily t-zone it’s a no go for me. It would be great for someone with dry skin. I’m curious what you would think of it.
You make me laugh. I like your sense of humor. I do enjoy your page. I like how you get right to it after your lil humorous beginning clip. I am impatient and don't like pages that have long intros and songs etc. Keep it up 👍👍👌👌
YES! LOVE THIS IDEA & PLEASE CONTINUE! 👏🏻💜👍🏻 Can you do more "drug store" /budget friendly brands before jumping into any of the higher end brands? 😁Excited already for next week's "Foundation Friday!" 😆 (Or whatever day you end up making & calling them!) 🤣 🙃
prittyflutterbystar I've heard nothing but rave reviews on this foundation... Think I have to try it myself. It's not matte and not dewey... More of a natural finish, which I love! 💓 👍🏻 Definitely please do this review asap!
Yesssss!Me to girl,That js supposed to be the drugstore foundarion release of the Year,Like the nicest drugsror foundation ever made,from what everyone is saying.they say it works and looks better than Most High ends foundations or at least the same.I've heard it been comparex to born this way foundation alot.
@Christy Woods Yes! Exactly what I've seen and heard and can not wait to try it myself! Amazing at a drugstore price and works better than most high end foundations?! No brainer! Lol!
Lou...maybe I need the SWIRLS version of this LOL I have the one that says + Olay but it's not got swirls and I don't like...course I've got years on you and that can make a difference too! xoxo Mary
Dang, $7-just picked some up for $15.xx!! I like the potted version but my god does it break me out, even after like half an hour i can feel it, much less after 8 hours or when i fall asleep with it on. :/ Am presuming its the sunscreen being too occlusive. :/ Hoping this different formulation works better for me! It looks great on you!! Even at the end of the day!
Great video. Maybe I will try it. I need something that has the set coverage. Have you ever tried a Dermablend makeup. I used it when I was in 20 s that was more than 30 yrs ago and when I would look at pictures unlooked like I fell face first in a bucket of flour. Lol. I bet it changed over the years. It had the best coverage but never tried it in years. Would love to see a review on that one. If you already tried it and reviewed let m know I will watch. Thanks for everything you do you are a joy to watch and funny Love your videos.
I have to say it, ...your cheekbones are amazing :) I tried this product in the original packaging for fun one day but just felt too made up afterwards. I'm finding it so hard to find something that looks real as I get older. I'm almost at the point of throwing out my foundations and just using a good concealer to hide only what needs to be hidden now that my C serum is doing it's magic in fading sun spots etc. I hear Le Mer is great but the price is ridiculous imo.
@@petsittingpro7808 leaping bunny is usually good about being clear on companies that are CF but owned by a parent company that isn't, just in case that is your go-to source. I don't think PETA does as good a job in that regard.
TheMrsBeej we vote with our money. If people draw more to cf daughter company and the parent company that isn’t cf sales start going down while the cf brand goes up they keep it in mind and see what the consumer wants and that’s how we get somewhere with things. So yeah support cf daughter brands.
Wax-face Wednesday? Try-anything Tuesday? Mascara Monday! Mycelium Monday!! Again, no idea why I watched that whole video. Enjoyed it though! And learned something, i think. By the way, am I the only male commentator?
I have been using this foundation since it's been on the market. I do not have to use much, just one layer. I apply it with a brush or a humid sponge. It is not sticky, dries fast, no smell. (when any makeup start smelling, it's time to throw it out. I never buy makeup on Amazon. I have tried expensive foundations, went back to Cover Girl.
@Thatayla has The Most Popular "Foundation Friday"Series everrr!She dors 15 day of foundation every February and Its for Charity to raise awareness something to do with animals.Like pets dogs ,cats etc.But She is An Amazing Woman,She is an og youtuber also.Everybody Loves Her!She is Amazing,and Kathleen lights got Us all hooked on Her,😂😂😂
Its not very good.I gried jt years ans years ago,Ans It oxidized so bad and just seemed ljke every shadw pulled orane on Me fkr some reason.lol.Love You Lou❤
I tried the original and I hated it. It settled in lines and wrinkles. I am 35, just what I need, foundation that settles in the tiny likes and wrinkles I have. Lol
Thanks especially for saying it's Cruelty Free and you won't use anything but that kind. I don't either. NO makeup is worth torturing an animal to see if it's fine for us.
I don't know if it's the 17 different flu medication I took but your "moron" comment made me laugh and laugh... If you want truly anti cruelty products try The Body Shop.
Ur so funny omg lol you have a very bland delivery and it’s so funny. I love this foundation at first I also felt like it was just rubbing off but I’ve found this normally works better when you apply two layers you need to be a little more heavy handed . You also need to hydrate underneath I find an oil or balmy moisturizer works best and let it sink in before . I apply it with a sponge and it looks very natural but the shades suck if you’re very fair or dark
I love your dry sense of humor. It could be easily overlooked but for those who get it…it’s much appreciated 😆
I've used this foundation successfully using a tip from another RUclipsr that said to add a small drop of your favorite facial oil (I use water soluble vitamin E oil) to any foundation. It adds moisture, and makes it spread more easily. However, I do finish it off with powder.

Does it say on the bottle where it's made? I cannot seem to find that information via my Google search. TIA! 😊
@@MotorCityBurbs The bottle says The Boots Company, Nottingham England. Made in France 😜
Thank you very much for responding, I greatly appreciate it!
lol... love your sense of humor! which shade did you go with? did i miss that in the video?
Wanted to try this product, and now I will. Very pleased to hear it is cruelty free. Thanks Lou :)
Love your personality! Thanks for your honest review. Found this foundation at my local 99 cent store .

CYO foundation from Walgreens. The description of the shades is on the Boots website.

Good to see your face! Looking beautiful as always. That ponytail was swinging today before 5:38

what shade did you get?
Did u use a primer? That could help from it soaking into the skin
This foundation looks great on your skin, very natural, I'll definitely give it a shot now that CoverGirl is cruelty free!
Do a review for Physician’s Formula “Healthy Foundation” !!!
Thank you for this review, I've been curious about this foundation myself. Not sure if you made up my mind one way or the other. Keep us updated 😊
I absolutely love the compact!! Try that one out instead, and apply with the makeup sponge 😊
I really enjoy your vlogs. You’re a breath of fresh air and make me chuckle. #keepingitreal.
Thx Lou 💙...I needed an escape for a moment...you look beautiful as usual!
I actually like this foundation a lot. Its the only thing I can wear the morning after retin A. and You are very funny. enjoyed this
Have you ever reviewed eyelid tape? Not that you need them, but wondering if they work...

Any drugstore foundation that you think is worth to review
How did I just now find you? My life is complete!
CoverGirl is owned by P&G, so although leaping bunny classifies them as CF, you should know that their parent company most definitely is not.

I don’t remember what your holy grail drugstore foundation is. Could you refresh my memory? Thanks, Lou! 😘😘😘
Like thataylaa and her foundation Friday?
She is pretty, but needs color blush. I went to Dollar General and bought a sample size bottle of Cover Girl Age Makeup and I liked it.
i like that one alot.

What other makeup brands are animal cruelty free? Because I'd like to join that.
I tried the original and I hated it. It settled in lines and wrinkles. I am 35, just what I need, foundation that settles in the tiny likes and wrinkles I have. Lol
Unfortunately, Olay is not cruelty free. :-(
Thanks especially for saying it's Cruelty Free and you won't use anything but that kind. I don't either. NO makeup is worth torturing an animal to see if it's fine for us.
I enjoyed 👍🏻
Yay for all beauty cruelty free. Good human.
I believe makeup over makeup is called Building 🙂
It showed my lines.
