Freddie was the only one being positive and rational about it all, like it was weird seeing her next to that other girl who was just bashing everything bc Freddie was making the most of it (and she looked great!)
IKR? I used to wear high end because of sensitive skin but even when I got matched it always made me look super orange. Best match I found was cheap chit that makes me break out lol
Belem Adame YESS to get my shade for Giorgio Armani luminous silk I had to mix 2 of them and I ain't got close to 140 laying around for foundation...68 maybe
I think it's just the fact that there are not testers so you have to guess your shade by how it looks in the bottle. But this demonstrates that how it looks in the bottle is not how it looks on your skin.
I don't think they're trying be negative on purpose, but if you have a deeper skin tone, or you're a women of color, you generally won't find your color in the drugstore. It's either to light or two dark, which causes them to have to mix foundations. That can be nerve-wracking, especially when they only had a few samples on display. It's just easier to go to Sephora. I think that they already know what the result will be because they've probably tried it before with no success.
Sierra Vald It's not about it being a drugstore foundation. They're "complaining" because they can't find the perfect shade for them. As a POC it's really fustrating buy foundation at the drugstore.
The revlon looked literally perfect on Jazzmyne. When you're actively looking for things to hate, you aren't going to have a good experience. Many drugstore brands are trying so hard to be inclusive and expand their shade range, and half the time the retailer doesn't even stock the entire selection. The Maybelline Fit Me that Caity complained about has 24 color options, and it has more than one shade darker than Cappuccino. It's not the brand's fault that you went to one store and bought 2 products hoping to find your "perfect match." That's never going to work for anyone, regardless of skin tone.
That's the impression I got. They went in already decided that they hated everything and it that it wasn't going to work. Not sure what the purpose of this video was if none of them were actually into it.
Morgan Lyttle So if they really wanted to find their match, they should have spent their time combing through every drugstore in their area and buying multiple bottles of foundation to test out? The point is buying foundation at the drugstore is kind of difficult for WOC, even though companies might be trying to be more inclusive. Not having the entire shade range but having mostly pale shades in a store is kind of exclusive. Having to go to multiple drugstores to find one right shade is also exclusive. By and by, the light skin beauty standard that has existed still seems to win out over carrying the full spectrum of shades a makeup company might bring out, which needs to change so the drugstore can actually BE inclusive. If the drugstore could offer testers the way Sephora and Ulta do, the journey would also be easier for WOC so they don't have to buy 10 shades to try out at home. As a matter of fact, a few Walgreens I've been to lately have an employee in the beauty section who will let you try on foundations to see if they match you. They even have sponges to put them on with, cleansing balms, makeup wipes, lip applicators. The drugstore is getting there, but it still has a long way to go before it really caters to all skintones.
I completely agree! It's much easier to find a shade match at higher end stores where testers are available, but it's also unfair to make the more affordable brands seem like they aren't trying. Hopefully more retailers will follow Walgreen's lead and make affordable makeup accessible to everyone (:
They should try drugstore make up and name brand side by side without them knowing which is which and just have them say which they like better, or the pros and cons for both. Now that would be a non-biased opinion.
George Washington I didn't really see "hate" in this particular video, but I do see Buzzfeed hating on drugstore makeup, which I don't understand. It's not like high end makeup has the best shade range, either. The only downfall with drugstore makeup is that you can't swatch it.
WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE DRUGSTORE MAKEUP it's honestly not bad at all. I love it and think it's amazing!! If you can't afford loads of high end and you use drugstore, don't be ashamed because it's perfectly fine
Ava Midgley this video focuses on foundation, specifically foundation for people of color, which I can say from experience is really hard to find in drugstores, as there is often a very limited amount of shades, and they are often extremely yellow or very extremely blue in undertone for som god forsaken reason. That is what this video is trying to convey. There is nothing necessarily wrong with drug store make up, but for people of color it’s hard finding foundation and base products that match them, sometimes in some cases it’s impossible. For you as a white person, it is most likely a little easier.
They act like they never used drugstore foundation before. Why you always lying 😂 I feel like the fit me foundation is a must have in every foundation drawer. It's a great foundation for under $6 with amazing coverage!
It's amazing! It's doesn't have too many colors though. It has mine, but a friend (who's like 3 shades darker) looks like donald trump whe she puts the one that's closest to her skin tone on.
They are negative only for a reason that there is no way to try drugstore makeup before buying, moreover the selection of colors is pretty poor when it comes to deep colors. I have pale skin and whatever I purchased at drugstore was just miss because it doesn't match my skin tone, and I couldn't try the foundation before buying. It would be probably even worse if I had only 3 colors to select from.
oml especially jasmyn she’s definitely taking advantage of her freedom of speech and the newfound freedom of her race even though she is basically white but she’s being so negative like people darker than her can find foundations.
Your Missing Hamper exactly, she has a tannish skin tone which drugstores carry the most of. Super pale and dark shades are the most difficult to find! Also, maybe it’s just me but I didn’t see anything wrong with the foundation she tried on. I’m super pale and my foundation isn’t an exact match but close enough is a win.
NE I find it extremely hard to believe that our of all the drug store brands, out of all the shades, every single one of them could not find just one shade that matched them. A lot of other commenters have mentioned they have had little difficulty in finding a shade to match them from the many options. I'm a fan of drugstore brands. I find that they tend to cater to regular people while high end brands don't care to cater to people with darker skin, mostly.
Especially with the foundations they mentioned. Loreal is one of the only corps that TRIES to be inclusive. That's why they all had a shade of fit me to match them!!!! So either, bring on darker skinned girls, or shut up tbqh.
There's also the problem with undertones most drugstore foundations for dark skin run red. I have golden undertones so red makes me look orange and like my head is floating on my shoulders. Also most drugstores especially in the suburbs like where I live don't carry the darker shades you have to order them online where you definitely can't swatch.
You can get a cheap foundation divide it in 2 pour the half in a expensive bottle and the other half in the original bottle. Say to them to put both on and look which one they like more.... So we can test if they choose the "high end"
I dont like jazzmyne's attitude . shes very negative . Not only in this video but in all videos.Go to 2:22 She completely doubts it when freddie says that the drugstore foundation is close to the shade of her normal foundation. Theres way more parts that jazzmyne is negative . Shes always slightly rolling her eyes and giving these judgy faces.Also at 1:20 she says shes getting a shade thats a little yellow and she said that she needs it but then in 3:20 She says the shade is definetely not her shade. LIKE GIRL YOU PICKED IT NOW QUIT COMPLAINING SO MUCH
the one girl was like "i'm picking this one bc it looks more yellow and i hunk that's what i need" then proceeded to critique how it didn't have enough red,??????
She's also really light skin & I know for a fact that her skin color is easy to find, but she complained about it lol Her skin is literally a skin color that a white person or light Asian would have tf I feel like she THINKS she's darker than she is & her skin color is as hard to find as the others, but it's really not. She just didn't want to give a chance & chose to complain instead.
As someone who is close to her colour. You don't understand how hard it is to find on specific colour that matches as most are too yellow, some are too pink. If I want drugstore I have to buy two. I can only find my shade in high end
Will Cook You didn't get the point of the video. It was to show that there are limited color selections of foundations. Therefore they couldn't find their perfect match.
Tyana03 ...all of the girls said they could have either gone with a shade darker/lighter at the store or tried another brand. So it was not that there are not options, but that they didn't pick them. Doing people makeup is what I do for a living and reviewing products here on RUclips, there is absolutely a shade for everyone at the both the drugstore and higher end retailers. I agree it is ridiculous sorting through all the shades there without testers, but all of the participants in this video acknowledged that they saw either a lighter or darker shade available but didn't think it would match.
My favorite liquid foundation is Revlon Colorstay. I have tried many high-end brands, (Mac, Estée Lauder, Kat Von D etc). None of those can beat out Revlon’s little gem!
Rachel Levin I love the Revlon one, I’m tempted to try the Fenty Beauty samples cheap on eBay 😂 I want to see what the hype is about without blowing my entire student loan
Buzzfeed, you're making it sound as if the drugstore is some kind of a forbidden forest . Most people can't afford high end makeup and this is more than okay. : )
Meredith Little uh no. She meant those were her only options for that foundation that looked even remotely close to her skin tone period, because they didn't go darker. It wasn't an "oh I'm in between these 2 colors", it was a "well, this is brown and the last shade so I just have to choose this and see if it works".
unicorn chic no hate but honestly as someone who loves makeup in general, I only buy from a few brands I trust at the drugstore. I'm not a snob, I just know it works for me and I'm not allergic.
Every time y'all do this you bash drugstores... not all of us can afford the $40 stuff. There are whole RUclips channels just about the dollar store make up so you guys should just leave this alone. Again.
Drugstores, shopmissa (highly recommend their concealers) and Black Friday shopping for makeup are the holy grails for broke people. No need for the buzzfeed people to stick up their nose just because some people can't afford to spend a ton of money on foundation
They’re roasting cheap companies for not being colour exclusive... not that cheap stuff sucks. If they had more than two options they’d buy drug store makeup too .
Loriani93 it's because their black and their a minority and if a foundation fits them they have to say it doesn't because the world is racist and the want equality, yet make racist jokes about white people, haha! What a life.
pepe doge "oops, drop mic" Is that still a thing? Lol, I am embarrassed for you. By the way, you should learn the difference between "their and they are" Maybe spend less time hating and focus more on your grammar?
Yeah, it's not about how dark the shades are for her but whether the undertones are right for her, which can be harder in the drugstore for anyone regardless of how deep or light their skin is. Jasmine has lighter skin but kept mentioning needing a red-toned foundation to avoid ashiness.
I know right? I mean I'm from Chile, the end-of-the-world country, we don't get even the half of shades that US gets (I use Loreal and thanks God and his almighty power the only shade in store, the ONLY, was similar to my skin tone) and with all that we make it work just fine!
Olivia Brasier you seriously think that's what it is? The reason they don't try drugstore makeup normally is because it's almost impossible to find their perfect shade and a good formula so they can't really use it so if they an afford a product that will work for them why wouldn't they buy it?
Olivia Brasier there are problems with drugstore brands my stepmom can't show for foundation at drugstores because they just don't make shades for her skin tone so I think you mean white lower class people
This was disturbing to me, i shop in ulta and sephora alllll the time, and about half of my foundations are drug store. i don't UNDERSTAND why they feel like higher-end brands have better shade selections.. THEY DON'T!
Alexis Bramble They didn't say they have a better selection they said it's easier for them to get a professional to match their shade for them because they obviously can't figure it out on their own.
Alexis Bramble yeah wet n wild has a wild selection of colors that are great foundations in general and are really cheap. There is a lot of high end brands that are much more known for having a limited selection of shades. I get that was not the point but I feel like they wanted to portray the drugstore a certain way
Marvellous A it depends on a lot of things to be honest like skin type and undertone but that one girl only picked up one like sis you gotta try a little harder than that lol
It also depends on the location. I live in a major city and depending on which part of the city that I'm in will determine the shade range. A lot of places cater to the majority in that neighborhood.
Cats are my only friends they're negative because there isn't many shades for their skin color, they maybe would like it if they'd have more color shades in the drug store. Where as in Sephora or any other big makeup store has much more shades
Why didn't that other darker lady buy the foundation Freddie bought. She kept complaining there wasn't anything darker, but the one Freddie said was too dark for her would have matched the other lady nearly perfectly.
I hate how they make it seem like trying on drugstore makeup is like a science experiment. What's so bizarre or foreign about it? It can be just as good, if not better than high end makeup 😐
AlmightyLarry I personally don't like that there's no way to test them out. Drugstores abs brands have been doing a lot better but then there's the issue of what each store will carry.
sheshiechan aren't there testers in the drugstore in America? Sounds weird to me tbh.. In the Netherlands, I can walk into a drugstore and swatch everything.. Essence, Catrice, NYC, Maybelline, L'oreal, MaxFactor, etc
Skylar Smans the only places that have testers is Sephora and ulta. however they also dont have testers for every foundation and shade. many employees (atleast in my area) find it unnecessary to have a tester if the shade isnt popular.
"out of all these 30 shades, i can probably only use 2" girl thats the point, there is an array of foundation shades that is suitable for many different skin tones presented in the display.
No one actually uses those flat foundation brushes damn buzzfeed u couldnt give them a stippling brush?? And why was the lightest girl complaining about shades, she can easily pick from the shades for white ppl. Also they coulda went for black girl friendly brands like Iman, black opal or black radiance which are also sold in drugstores
To any pale girls/boys out there I would recommend watching John Maclean's RUclips channel For any very dark girls/boys I would recommend Nyma Tang she is brilliant.
omg I love John Maclean's videos he is so elegant and refined you can literally watch his videos and learn how to do makeup and become smarter in 15 minutes
You can tell Freddie is part of Ladylike because they always spin the experiences to say at least a few positive things and she was trying to do that in this video when everyone else was not trying to hold anything back.
This issue wasn't the cost, the issue is that the drugstore makes about 2 shades per line for black people. We HAVE to spend $40 because those are the ones that match our skin tone. It's easy to say that when your shade is alway readily available🙄
Maggie yo chill, the point is that drugstore makeup is limited to black women. high end makeup stores have alot more variety and more reasonable shades
Sally Gatenby you just saved my life...like the original commenter I used face paint..I had to wait for three months for the Halloween makeup to come out again because I ran out 😂
This should've been called 'Women of Colour Try Drugstore Foundation' as they're focusing on shade range rather than actual foundation. I get it there's not as much of a selection compared to high end makeup and only few so drugstore brands do a diverse range, that doesn't mean 20 different white shades then 3 for woc btw. This deserves more recognition.
they actually did this video again but with different people and called it 'Women of Colour Try Drugstore Foundation' and it actually has Brianna in it, who is in this video.
Even the beuty gurus say that the drugstore foundation aren’t bad, and they know a lot about makeup. They are only saying negative thing about the foundations.😕
Hey, newsflash: Not everyone can afford expensive makeup. Some of us have to work with what's in the drugstore, and that's that. That means there won't always be a perfect shade, but it can still work with some powder and concealer. A lot of drugstore foundations can look fantastic as long as you take good care of your skin, put on primer and apply it correctly. So stop complaining and put a little bit of pep in that brush!
right? Like I can hardly afford the drug store makeup, these videos insulting it so much make me crazy, and make me feel like trash since I cannot afford the high-end makeup. I guess I should only go out at night since I wear the cheapest foundation
Winona Sylvia You guys are WAY TO SENSITIVE!! my god. Don't buy drugstore take care of your skin and save your money for better products. It didn't work for them if it works for u fine. It is hard to find drugstore foundation for dark skin
Keep in mind that once it's on your face, people wouldn't really be able to tell whether or not it's high end or drug store makeup. Your makeup's packaging doesn't matter. It's really all about how you wear it/"own it" as they say. :)
Well to be fair, it is hard to find drugstore foundation for light skin, too. I have to buy my foundation online because they are all too dark and/or too orange for me. And I'm not even super light, just lighter than the majority of the women in my country. And there also is very good drugstore makeup.
If I found a foundation that actually works for my skin and is my perfect shade, it happens to be high end (almost $50) but I purchase it once every 6-8 months. That's 100% worth it to me lol I have literally 100 foundations in my collection, so I've tried and tried again most drugstore products. I've wasted WAY more than $50 at the drugstore trying to find a perfect foundation lol
Glam Barbie, even I, a pale girl can't find a shade that fits me perfectly. Either too dark or too light and there are different shades under the same name. So I understand the struggle. 😂
For most black people (even those with lighter skin), it's not just about the color tone, but also the undertone. Most likely, the lighter colored foundations would have pink undertones that still would make a light skinned black person look ashy.
They were all so negative going into this, and ngl that really pisses me off. Because newsflash Buzzfeed not everyone just shops at high end stores and these foundations looked perfectly fine on these girls and they were just being negative. This whole video was irritating.
I hate the title of the video. like, not all people can afford high end, so the fact that they all are looking at drugstore stuff from "above" is ridiculous.
I hate how negative most of the girls were being. I understand it sucks, color matching isn't easy for anybody. I'm pale but not VERY pale and I still have problems finding shades whether it's because they don't run light enough or I'm in between shades. it's not easy for anybody I don't think because everybody is so different. I get that especially darker girls have problems finding makeup shades but you have to at least give the companies points for trying. they can't cater to everybody's needs perfectly no matter the shade, undertones, or skin type
To be honest, I'm a little disappointed that there wasn't anyone with like super light/pale skin because it's really hard to find a good foundation with that type of skin as well. Of course I understand that it's hard for people of colour to find the right matches but it's also quite hard for pale people like me or others.
Helena McLaughlin Im litterally a ghost so I know the struggle but we have more possibilties than women of colour especially when it comes to contouring. for example la girls cosmetics came out with a white foundation or the pale pale shade of the custom FX cover drops or the nyx drop foundation. or you just Google it and order a white foundation mixer online I mean you don't have to match it since its white ;D
I agree with all these things, especially that dark skin has more variety when it comes to different undertones and all that but I've never seen like a white foundation or something like that at a drugstore or Douglas (more or less Germanys Sephora) but maybe that's also because it's not as big of a topic where I live (I don't know about the big cities like Berlin or Hamburg) than it is in America :)
Nellie Complains Have you tried the lightest shade from the Maybelline Matte Poreless Fit Me? I tried it and was grossed out bc it practically turned me grey (that never happened with a color before - not my favor light shade!) ...but it might work for you! It was also not my favorite foundation otherwise - but some people absolutely swear by it!
jessaROXmySOX but I feel like there are so many cool toned pale foundations out there. There are hardly any yellow toned pale foundations. Most of the pale foundations are too pink
jazzmyne girl your skin is WHITE. like i'm almost pretty sure i'm darker than you and i'm south east asian like tan olive yellow all overrr the place. srsly. chill.
hayakatsu I'm sorry if everyone wasn't the same skin tone. I didn't know everything had to be about race. Kind of awkward. And it's not like any one race has it better on finding the right hue of foundation. People aren't greyscale, were brown, which is a combination of brightness and hue.
Elena Carrera I was thinking the same... I also do this, it's also easier than doing fullblown contour. AND It's even better if your foundation is a tad lighter than it is too dark, because it oxidizes when you wear it. 💁
I think their being pretty unfair to drugstore foundation brands, like I remember when all you could get was warm-toned medium shades and nothing else, like recently I drugstore brands have tried t branch out their shades so Idk why they were complaining about being too dark at the beginning ... also I'd like to point out that not all dark-skinned ladies out there can afford to go get higher end $20+ foundation and they shouldn't have to, I'd would have thought they'd be more fair in their reviews of the drugstore stuff to help guide these women (or men ) on what to look out for at the drugstore but instead they just whine and and throw bare shade at everyone who cant afford to buy NARS or whatever. Very pointless video if you ask me.
All I can say is that I use Maybelline foundation on a regular basis. Mostly everyone ask me did I get my foundation from Mac or Sephora. No I tell them it's Maybelline foundation they look amazed. It takes the right amount time you do for any foundation to make it look right. Moisturize your face ,put some primer on that bish and put the foundation on like a pro. And you good to go. Look like a million bucks.
Cheetah I use both because I have combination skin. But most of the time I can get really oily especially when I'm active during the day so I mostly use matte fit me foundation.
Same! I use the Matte one and it's the best I've ever used and since I'm still a high-school students the price is just perfect for me. It's lasted for me more than 8 months since I don't wear a lot of foundation. ♥
Nikki T Hi! even though I'm not the original commenter I'd like to point out that I have oily skin! so I just wash my face really well, put on my olay moisturizer and use a little bit of aloe Vera gel as primer! it's cheap and effective! :) And my foundation does not look cakey or patchy with it! been using aloe Vera for over 2 years now!
When Buzzfeed women think that everyone has disposal incomes and can just drop any amount of money on makeup. Mind you, high-end make-up is notorious for having a smaller shade range than drugstore makeup. Drugstore makeup is known for having a lot of shades while high-end usually caters to lighter skin. This is widely known. Sorry that us peasants can't afford "high-end" great makeup Buzzfeed. Thanks for basically bagging on the only thing most people can afford that works just fine.
I can barely ever find my shade anywhere because I am too pale. And the difference is yes, drugstore may have a larger shade range, but the majority of ones for WOC are actually not accurate to a true skin tone. They are either way too orange-toned or way too ashy. High end not only is usually better and safer for your face, but also is more accurate to the true skintones of WOC/ Super pale women. They tried and had some issues, just as I have issues as well. I'd have to agree with Sabrina's take, that is more their goal of what they were trying to say.
Drugstores might have more shades BUT the shades aren't the right tone for most POC. I just started wearing makeup last year but browsing through higher end and lower end makeup I can see that I am the darkest shade in a lot of drugstore brands that aren't catered towards us. There are great brands that are POC specific but they're hard to find in store. But in saying this, drugstore brands didn't start expanding their foundation shades until a couple years ago.
Zoe Domm she never said anything about being dark, her only concern was undertones not being right for her. wrong undertones in makeup can make a big difference and is usually what causes one to be "ashy" or "orange". i'm olive skinned and fair to medium depending on how tan i am, its still hard to find matches at the drug store because most of their "yellow" and "warm" toned foundations still pull orange on my face. doesn't matter if the actual shade of the makeup (IN THEORY) matched my skin color.
Rainbow Popcorn yeah but the entire line isn’t just for her, doesn’t she only need one shade? if all the shades matched her, then what would everyone else have?
That’s not what she’s saying. She’s saying there’s 28 light skinned shades with different undertones and different ranges in the middle but that does nothing to benefit the people out there who also need those shades and tones but also have darker and super pale skin.
"Out of all of these I can only use one or two, and there's like 30" ????? You need to use all of them ????? There's on,y supposed to be like one or two that match ??????
Katie reaves You dont' get it.Out of 30 foundations there's like 27 colors for light complexion but only 3 for dark skin tones , it's absolutely not acceptable to me. Just imagine having in most drugstores like 30 foundations colors for dark skin people but only 3 for white , you'll find that normal ?
Emma Schuren black people aren't the only people who have darker complexions when u think of Hispanic native Americans and middle eastern people ur talking majority of the U.S so their definitely should be more then 3 brown shades out of 30
What is up with the two newer girls?? They acted like drug store makeup was the end of the world. The colors matched pretty well. They need to stop acting like they are victims or something.
Also, news flash, everyone has about two shades that work. That's the point, so everyone has a color similar to their color! I'm super pale (might I add the lightest color is often too dark), but I make it work. Companies can't make 400 different shades of makeup! Please stop acting as if L'Oréal is going to call you right now and make your skin tone.
Suga Kookie c: I agree! While my face isn't THAT pale, my neck and chest are, so finding a color that matches if pretty difficult. I use maybelline fit me in 102 (after they introduced a bunch of new colors, mostly new darker colors, I might add) and it still oxidizes and leaves me a little orange. Foundation is a struggle for almost all people
Listen all y'all in the comments; MY skin is super pale as well, so pale I buy manic panics white foundation to mix with whatever foundation I'm using at the moment because nothing is pale enough, but there is still even less selection than that for people with darker skin. Idk why it seems so scandalous to you that black people are struggling to find foundation and you all seem to not feel represented? Maybe cause this video isn't aimed at your skin tones. It's not aimed at mine either but It was still pretty fun to watch
I didn't get the missing out-part. The reactions I saw were meant to acknowledge that although the struggle for very pale people is not the same as it is for PoC, it is quite similar, and we might understand each other in this aspect. Makeup brands need to widen their colourselection (+more undertones) both ways, and not only focus on the medium-skin types. Personally, I don't feel underrepresented, just frustrated that the standards for foundations in 2017 still don't fit so many people.
Because no one wants crap makeup. Freddy has the best skin so the makeup didn't look bad on her, but the application on Jazzmyne and the other girl on the left and side in the other duo both looked awful. No coverage at all, you could see dark spots and circles like they weren't even wearing foundation.
There's no coverage because of foundation they choose, I would recommend Revlon Colorstay or Max Factor Lastin Performance if you want good coverage, but I'm not sure if there will be suitable colors for dark skin, in Poland you can choose from 6-7 shades.
Cutiee Pie try illamasqua or GOSH if your in the UK. Illamasqua is more expensive but it lasts forever and they go to literally pure white so you can get that and use it as a mixer for drug store cheapies
Their makeup looks fine... the struggle that they keep complaining about is that they couldn't find their shade, but that's how it is for everyone shopping in the drugstore. If that was the point of this video, then why would Buzzfeed only cast women of color? I'm pale af with yellow undertones and that's difficult to find at the drugstore too. I understand that the point of having more minorities that are shared on social media, is to give more exposure to try and make society be more inclusive. Drugstore makeup has come a long way to include people of every skin tone, and I think that this video was predisposed with the notion that they wouldn't like it because "there isn't a color for me." ... But there actually was a color so they didn't know what to do. If you're going to try and make a video about women of color, own it, and say it in the title. If you're going to make a video about "women," especially if it's a makeup video, then use a variety of skin tones. I don't know. I'm just tired of the negativity on Buzzfeed. This video is a major fail.
They should've used this topic to highlight how far drugstore makeup has come instead of being so negative. Again, their makeup looked good. They didn't even talk about how they liked the makeup itself, just the damn color.
Okay but like the vast majority of makeup videos in RUclips are geared towards white women. And also, we don't expect those to labeled "foundation for white people", so why would we expect this to be labeled as specifically for women of color. Like, ew.
Right? I am very pale (I usually go for the shade Natural Ivory in Maybelline) but I still have yellow undertones. A ton of foundations don't compliment yellow undertones.
Jessica Laurin Wow, ok so you guys are both thick skulled lol. She was very clearly referring to there being 30 different foundation brands and yet only two carrying what looked to be her shade.
Hello these are black women. Of course they're not trying to say they're too good for drugstore makeup. Did you not notice how they struggled IMMENSELY to find foundations that worked for them?? They don't have much of a choice but to use higher end brands that make foundations for more skin tones. As a black woman myself, as much as I'd love to buy Maybelline foundation for $8, there's nothing that matches my skin well enough to get away with at my local supermarket. I HAVE to use designer makeup, I.e., Clinique, Nars, etc. Those women are also in my age group with jobs in fields similar to mine, which means that while they may be comfortable, they still probably don't have buckets of cash to just spend on something as frivolous as makeup! So check yourself and actually take in the dialogue that's happening in the video before you try to call someone out for being snobby!
I'm a student who honestly does not have the money to be buying expensive foundation like that but most WOC like me are left with no choice! I live in the U.K. where shade selection in our "drugstores" are even worse and the one foundation that is dark enough for me (L'Oreal) is too red and makes me break out! I'd rather spend my money on a foundation that I know is dark enough with the correct undertones and the formula won't irritate my skin. We've begged for inclusion but it takes a long time for brands to listen, especially drugstore brands so until then; I guess many WOC will continue to sound "snobby" about drugstore foundation. Honestly, I'll get any other products from a drugstore apart from foundation!
I'm Asian and I have yellow undertones. Never found any drugstore foundation that matches my skin tone. They claim they do, but they don't. The only foundation that works for me is MAC NC20/25
dbart0n omg i understand ur problem! for me its sooo hard to find under eye concealer, most of them will look ashy or uneven to me. i finally find one when i try mac n24. but for foundation bourjouis cc cream kind ok for me (but idk if thats drugstore :p)
kajitani13 ulta brand waterproof concealer the light with yellow undertone is great just to yellow on me, i switched to the tone correcting one for same reason!
I’m the lightest shade you can get and have all these problems. Tbh people with medium toned skin probably have it the easiest, but it’s very very difficult to find an exact match regardless of your skin color. I thought some of these were pretty spot on. I use a shade that’s a little too yellow for me but it’s not really a big deal.
Side note: Please don't open and swatch drugstore foundations. I know there are no testers but It's unsanitary and disrespectful to other customers who might want to purchase that shade.
for real lool, i've been looking for this drugstore blush in my area for ages and most stores either don't have it for some stupid reason or the ones i go to all have someone's finger literally smushed into it
chairty kissinger None of the Walgreens in my area have testers but I have heard of some that do. Hopefully they'll make testers readily available in more drugstores soon. :)
GlamBarbie Well why didn't they include both light and dark skinned girls in this? They have two dark skinned girls, and two medium skinned girls, but no dark skinned girls.
For whatever reason make up companies seem to think that if you're super pale you must also have cool undertones, which isn't true for a lot of us :/ I've kind of given up on foundation all together and just use korean bb creams, they're light but also have warm/yellow undertones
Rebekah Watson when they said "women testing out foundations" I thought it was gonna be different types of skin tones that was more inclusive. They preach about not being racist or judgemental and yet they still leave people out all the time as if certain minorities are better than the rest.
I'm a makeup artist and you don't need a perfect match, if you use different cream and liquid complexion products of similar shades that are close to your skin tone and blend them together you'll find a pretty good shade. Also no one's face is all one colour so it's good to use foundations and concealers to create the complexion you want
OK Buzzfeed can you please leave it to the hundreds of beauty youtubers/gurus to continue making these thousands of these type of videos themselves? Just focus on making quality videos like ladylike, try guys and unsolved mysteries plsss
okay id like to add that no matter your skin colour (whether youre black, white, asian, latina, arab, mixed, etc.) theres never gonna be dozens of foundations that match your skin perfectly. some are gonna be too orange, to ashy, to dark, etc. i myself have difficulty and i don't consider myself to be on any side of the spectrum (very pale or very dark) and i still have difficulty finding a perfect one not only at the drugstore but at sephora too. anyways, just saying, firstly dont go into an experiment being so close minded and secondly, this problem isnt only present for a specific groupe of people.
Mira Clerici BUT the problem is how there could be like 23 shades for fair/lighter skinned people but when it comes to people with darker skin tones theres like 4 shades
Brianna Williams well just because there are 23 fair shades doesn't mean it will work for that one girl because they have different undertones and stuff
I'm white and I normally have to go to between 3 and 5 drugstores to find my shade. Going to one store and then complaining about not finding your perfect shade seems like a cop out to me.
Shelby Hooyenga normally for darker skin tones, there are only 1-5 foundations that you can choose from in a drugstore. I think that is what they were complaining about.
Diy With B totally untrue almost all drugstores carry the fit me line and the displays always have like 20 shades from light to extremely dark they just were really biased and didn’t know how to color match
They just don’t have my shade at drugstores, nothing is pink undertoned, it’s even hard to find my shade at Sephora, though I have found this concealer at Sephora that works
I wish they had tested out the foundation formulas on different skin types rather than just making it a video about matching the foundation color to their skin....
Keira Zenovia Lol, you act like all women agree with you... Have you read the rest of the comments? How do you know that they are not a women? I’m a girl and I agree with their comment.
All the foundations looked fine on them. Why are they complaining ?
naoise nora I noticed that mostly with jasmine, I thought her shade matched
naoise nora lol girl what... they don't match their skin tone, only Freddie's lookedokah
i thought exactly the same, like, comparing the shots in both neck and face areas, they are pretty good actually lol
Like someone else said, probably lighting. I have a shade thats makes me look gray in person but is ok for taking pictures.
naoise nora because everything as to be against african americans. even make up.
Freddie was the only one being positive and rational about it all, like it was weird seeing her next to that other girl who was just bashing everything bc Freddie was making the most of it (and she looked great!)
SimoneSeville p
SimoneSeville her name is Jazz
SimoneSeville thats why i consider freedie as professional
Why does buzzfeed look down on drugstore makeup so much lmao highend doesn't have a great shade variety either
Belem Adame and sometimes drugstore is better tbh
Belem Adame it's because they can do ads and sponsored videos with high end brands, like the Kardashian jeans video and the whole Worth It series lmao
IKR? I used to wear high end because of sensitive skin but even when I got matched it always made me look super orange. Best match I found was cheap chit that makes me break out lol
Belem Adame YESS to get my shade for Giorgio Armani luminous silk I had to mix 2 of them and I ain't got close to 140 laying around for foundation...68 maybe
I think it's just the fact that there are not testers so you have to guess your shade by how it looks in the bottle. But this demonstrates that how it looks in the bottle is not how it looks on your skin.
the Maybelline fit me is one of the best drugstore foundation, why so negative? not everybody has the money to go to Sephora.
I don't think they're trying be negative on purpose, but if you have a deeper skin tone, or you're a women of color, you generally won't find your color in the drugstore. It's either to light or two dark, which causes them to have to mix foundations. That can be nerve-wracking, especially when they only had a few samples on display. It's just easier to go to Sephora. I think that they already know what the result will be because they've probably tried it before with no success.
There's not even a Sephora anywhere near where I live. Like I've been somewhere that took me 4 hours to get there and there wasn't a Sephora like rip
Alice Nart Correction, *Milani* and *nyx* is the best drugstore.

I think you should keep in mind that not everyone goes to high end makeup stores, they talk down on drugstore makeup like no one actually uses it.
Sierra Vald It's not about it being a drugstore foundation. They're "complaining" because they can't find the perfect shade for them. As a POC it's really fustrating buy foundation at the drugstore.
Sierra Vald I believe it's more like an American culture, in Europe it's very usual to just buy drugstore makeup.
Aida C. a lot of people in america shop at drugstores for makeup too they were just being weird about it
Sierra Vald YES
imani watkins they have videos where they wear drugstore makeup for a week and they did the same thing.
The revlon looked literally perfect on Jazzmyne. When you're actively looking for things to hate, you aren't going to have a good experience. Many drugstore brands are trying so hard to be inclusive and expand their shade range, and half the time the retailer doesn't even stock the entire selection. The Maybelline Fit Me that Caity complained about has 24 color options, and it has more than one shade darker than Cappuccino. It's not the brand's fault that you went to one store and bought 2 products hoping to find your "perfect match." That's never going to work for anyone, regardless of skin tone.
That's the impression I got. They went in already decided that they hated everything and it that it wasn't going to work. Not sure what the purpose of this video was if none of them were actually into it.
Morgan Lyttle So if they really wanted to find their match, they should have spent their time combing through every drugstore in their area and buying multiple bottles of foundation to test out? The point is buying foundation at the drugstore is kind of difficult for WOC, even though companies might be trying to be more inclusive. Not having the entire shade range but having mostly pale shades in a store is kind of exclusive. Having to go to multiple drugstores to find one right shade is also exclusive. By and by, the light skin beauty standard that has existed still seems to win out over carrying the full spectrum of shades a makeup company might bring out, which needs to change so the drugstore can actually BE inclusive. If the drugstore could offer testers the way Sephora and Ulta do, the journey would also be easier for WOC so they don't have to buy 10 shades to try out at home. As a matter of fact, a few Walgreens I've been to lately have an employee in the beauty section who will let you try on foundations to see if they match you. They even have sponges to put them on with, cleansing balms, makeup wipes, lip applicators. The drugstore is getting there, but it still has a long way to go before it really caters to all skintones.
I completely agree! It's much easier to find a shade match at higher end stores where testers are available, but it's also unfair to make the more affordable brands seem like they aren't trying. Hopefully more retailers will follow Walgreen's lead and make affordable makeup accessible to everyone (:
Morgan Lyttle oh shut up
let a professional do a half drugstore vs high end look and let them guess which side is cheaper.
I think that is a great idea! I would love to see how that would turn out, actually.
Precious Vang idk man buzzfeed's makup artist have shown to be bad. the modles should do it themselves lmao
Precious Vang but a real professional
Get @promisetamang to do it !!!
Precious Vang but RUclipsrs do it all the time and I am sometimes fooled which is the drugstore side.
*tries to think of a time when I haven't used drug store foundation.*
*scratches head.*
Wow, they were so pessimistic besides Freddie, nobody wants to watch a video where they're negative the entire time! I need good vibes BuzzFeed!
They should try drugstore make up and name brand side by side without them knowing which is which and just have them say which they like better, or the pros and cons for both. Now that would be a non-biased opinion.
SerenaImara yes
SerenaImara This would be awesome.
news flash buzzfeed : not everyone has money like these girls *stop hating drugstore makeup* it's all we can afford
GEORGE GETS IT
Ikr🙏🙌
My thoughts exactly 🙌👏
George Washington I didn't really see "hate" in this particular video, but I do see Buzzfeed hating on drugstore makeup, which I don't understand. It's not like high end makeup has the best shade range, either. The only downfall with drugstore makeup is that you can't swatch it.
and there is some really good drug store brands out there!!!
WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE DRUGSTORE MAKEUP it's honestly not bad at all. I love it and think it's amazing!! If you can't afford loads of high end and you use drugstore, don't be ashamed because it's perfectly fine
Not everyone hates it don't make assumptions about people you don't know
Ava Midgley this video focuses on foundation, specifically foundation for people of color, which I can say from experience is really hard to find in drugstores, as there is often a very limited amount of shades, and they are often extremely yellow or very extremely blue in undertone for som god forsaken reason. That is what this video is trying to convey. There is nothing necessarily wrong with drug store make up, but for people of color it’s hard finding foundation and base products that match them, sometimes in some cases it’s impossible. For you as a white person, it is most likely a little easier.
Bc u can’t swatch no color options and it can be bad for
Your Skin
because of the lack of shades for anyone darker than beige
Cause u white
Why is Freddy's the only person here being positive
I think because there were two black girls and they're used to not finding their skin tone. Same for Jazzmyne.
Karma Buckner iiii
Karma Buckner Freddy is a possitive person 24/7 so she tries harder to be nice while the other girls just go for it
They act like they never used drugstore foundation before. Why you always lying 😂 I feel like the fit me foundation is a must have in every foundation drawer. It's a great foundation for under $6 with amazing coverage!
Pia Cordes ikr
True
IKR, there’s a reason why drugstore makeup is a billion dollar industry
It's amazing! It's doesn't have too many colors though. It has mine, but a friend (who's like 3 shades darker) looks like donald trump whe she puts the one that's closest to her skin tone on.
But not for all ranges of darker skin that's all different hues of brown and they didnt stretch their color range for all the possibilities.
am i the only one who think's they're so negative towards drugstore make-up?
no there's me
They are negative only for a reason that there is no way to try drugstore makeup before buying, moreover the selection of colors is pretty poor when it comes to deep colors. I have pale skin and whatever I purchased at drugstore was just miss because it doesn't match my skin tone, and I couldn't try the foundation before buying. It would be probably even worse if I had only 3 colors to select from.
they are trying so damn hard to hate it and it ain't even bad lmao 😂
oml especially jasmyn she’s definitely taking advantage of her freedom of speech and the newfound freedom of her race even though she is basically white but she’s being so negative like people darker than her can find foundations.
Courtney Love r u hater or not? I cant tell cuz i dont understand
Stella Thompson just stating the fact, doesn't really matter if s/he is a fan
Your Missing Hamper exactly, she has a tannish skin tone which drugstores carry the most of. Super pale and dark shades are the most difficult to find! Also, maybe it’s just me but I didn’t see anything wrong with the foundation she tried on. I’m super pale and my foundation isn’t an exact match but close enough is a win.
girls in video pick the wrong shade
OH NO. THEY DONT WORK FOR ME.
WEL DUH
true
NE I find it extremely hard to believe that our of all the drug store brands, out of all the shades, every single one of them could not find just one shade that matched them. A lot of other commenters have mentioned they have had little difficulty in finding a shade to match them from the many options.
I'm a fan of drugstore brands. I find that they tend to cater to regular people while high end brands don't care to cater to people with darker skin, mostly.
Especially with the foundations they mentioned. Loreal is one of the only corps that TRIES to be inclusive. That's why they all had a shade of fit me to match them!!!! So either, bring on darker skinned girls, or shut up tbqh.
There's also the problem with undertones most drugstore foundations for dark skin run red. I have golden undertones so red makes me look orange and like my head is floating on my shoulders. Also most drugstores especially in the suburbs like where I live don't carry the darker shades you have to order them online where you definitely can't swatch.
sashadsayshi
You can get a cheap foundation divide it in 2 pour the half in a expensive bottle and the other half in the original bottle. Say to them to put both on and look which one they like more.... So we can test if they choose the "high end"
yesssssss
YESSSS BUZZFEED PLEASE
Or they could get an expensive one and a non expensive one and swap them and see if the notice 😂
Duhitsmiranda yea. I was watching " brain games" and it showed something like that, just different items!
+sara weaver was it the chocolate cake one?
the shades weren't as bad as they were making them out to be though?????
popnk Buzzfeed is known for complaining...
maybe it looks better on camera than in person
lots of time it all depends on the lighting. studio lights would make things look different than if they were in natural light or florescent light.
I dont like jazzmyne's attitude . shes very negative . Not only in this video but in all videos.Go to 2:22 She completely doubts it when freddie says that the drugstore foundation is close to the shade of her normal foundation. Theres way more parts that jazzmyne is negative . Shes always slightly rolling her eyes and giving these judgy faces.Also at 1:20 she says shes getting a shade thats a little yellow and she said that she needs it but then in 3:20 She says the shade is definetely not her shade. LIKE GIRL YOU PICKED IT NOW QUIT COMPLAINING SO MUCH
Angie garcia don’t like her don’t watching the fking video 😒
No hate but you’re complaining right now. Liek srsly
The ChosenOne was that directed at me?
Jaimee Saunders don’t like the comment, don’t reply to it
also her color is lighter than mine in the summer and is acting like she can’t find shades darker.
the one girl was like "i'm picking this one bc it looks more yellow and i hunk that's what i need" then proceeded to critique how it didn't have enough red,??????
r i g h t
Bloop :P Exactly, it has more yellow than red
She's also really light skin & I know for a fact that her skin color is easy to find, but she complained about it lol
Her skin is literally a skin color that a white person or light Asian would have tf
I feel like she THINKS she's darker than she is & her skin color is as hard to find as the others, but it's really not.
She just didn't want to give a chance & chose to complain instead.
It was practically yellow stop whining about people criticizing yellow paint that's advertised as foundation
As someone who is close to her colour. You don't understand how hard it is to find on specific colour that matches as most are too yellow, some are too pink. If I want drugstore I have to buy two. I can only find my shade in high end
None of these issues they experienced are the foundation's fault. They all just picked the wrong shade...
Will Cook You didn't get the point of the video. It was to show that there are limited color selections of foundations. Therefore they couldn't find their perfect match.
Tyana03 there are limited shades for every single skin tone. Not just for darker skin tones
Tyana03 ...all of the girls said they could have either gone with a shade darker/lighter at the store or tried another brand. So it was not that there are not options, but that they didn't pick them. Doing people makeup is what I do for a living and reviewing products here on RUclips, there is absolutely a shade for everyone at the both the drugstore and higher end retailers. I agree it is ridiculous sorting through all the shades there without testers, but all of the participants in this video acknowledged that they saw either a lighter or darker shade available but didn't think it would match.
Whalien there is only ever 1 dark color on the shelves two if we are lucky,you clearly are not black so clearly you have no idea
"They're are like 30 shades, I can only wear two of them." Ring a bell?
They talk about drugstore makeup like no one uses it. Not every can splurge $40 on foundation.
If a relative of mine gave me $40 to buy something, I would buy drugstore foundation and spend $30 on essential items like food.
I use Rimmel London plus the matching powder, both from Walmart, around $5 a piece lol
I have the Revlon one they used 😂 can’t be spending money on Fenty or Huda Beauty
My favorite liquid foundation is Revlon Colorstay. I have tried many high-end brands, (Mac, Estée Lauder, Kat Von D etc). None of those can beat out Revlon’s little gem!
Rachel Levin I love the Revlon one, I’m tempted to try the Fenty Beauty samples cheap on eBay 😂 I want to see what the hype is about without blowing my entire student loan
Man and there's me and I make a video trying like a $20 foundation and I'm like "trying expensive foundation"
Emily Hilgeman hah me too😂
Emily Hilgeman same💀
I LOVE YOUR PROFILE PIC EMILY!!!!!
Emily Hilgeman YEEESSSS
Emily Hilgeman OHMYGOSH I LOVE YOUR PROFILE PIC THING!!!! i swear i’m the biggest stranger things fan everrrr
Buzzfeed, you're making it sound as if the drugstore is some kind of a forbidden forest . Most people can't afford high end makeup and this is more than okay. : )
Veselina Kanova I often still struggle to find my shades but that's not their fault. I need to try harder
how can you be upset only 2 shades would work for you? that's how foundation works.
Meredith Little uh no. She meant those were her only options for that foundation that looked even remotely close to her skin tone period, because they didn't go darker. It wasn't an "oh I'm in between these 2 colors", it was a "well, this is brown and the last shade so I just have to choose this and see if it works".
SingDea Exactly! I don't understand why people don't get it but then again they obviously don't have these troubles.
"i always only buy at sephora" = buzzfeed.
unicorn chic no hate but honestly as someone who loves makeup in general, I only buy from a few brands I trust at the drugstore. I'm not a snob, I just know it works for me and I'm not allergic.
Diana Lapin they were pointing out the grammar I think
Diana Lapin umm... "unicorn chic" was making fun of the grammar...
Its prob because Sephora has machine of knowledge
Sky Baby as a non native speaker.... what's wrong in this sentence? 😊
Come on guys, lets go to Saf's channel
I'm coming
I'm coming too😂
coming!
CHEN
Imah Miranda right behind you
Every time y'all do this you bash drugstores... not all of us can afford the $40 stuff. There are whole RUclips channels just about the dollar store make up so you guys should just leave this alone. Again.
mary higgins it’s not that deep
Shes tired exactly
Drugstores, shopmissa (highly recommend their concealers) and Black Friday shopping for makeup are the holy grails for broke people. No need for the buzzfeed people to stick up their nose just because some people can't afford to spend a ton of money on foundation
They’re roasting cheap companies for not being colour exclusive... not that cheap stuff sucks. If they had more than two options they’d buy drug store makeup too .
Also, if don’t like videos about not liking cheaper makeup... don’t watch
Am I the only one who thought the foundations matched them just fine?
Loriani93 I didn't see much of a problem 🙄
Loriani93 probably just the lighting
Loriani93 it's because their black and their a minority and if a foundation fits them they have to say it doesn't because the world is racist and the want equality, yet make racist jokes about white people, haha! What a life.
pepe doge why are you so bitter lmfao
pepe doge "oops, drop mic" Is that still a thing? Lol, I am embarrassed for you. By the way, you should learn the difference between "their and they are" Maybe spend less time hating and focus more on your grammar?
I feel like Jasmine's skin tone is not really dark enough to say that they don't make any shades dark enough, like I'm darker and soy Latina :/
Yeah, it's not about how dark the shades are for her but whether the undertones are right for her, which can be harder in the drugstore for anyone regardless of how deep or light their skin is. Jasmine has lighter skin but kept mentioning needing a red-toned foundation to avoid ashiness.
I know right? I mean I'm from Chile, the end-of-the-world country, we don't get even the half of shades that US gets (I use Loreal and thanks God and his almighty power the only shade in store, the ONLY, was similar to my skin tone) and with all that we make it work just fine!
"Women try drugstore foundation" like drugstore foundation must be for such lower class people we have to 'try it'
Olivia Brasier you seriously think that's what it is? The reason they don't try drugstore makeup normally is because it's almost impossible to find their perfect shade and a good formula so they can't really use it so if they an afford a product that will work for them why wouldn't they buy it?
Olivia Brasier who's thinking that besides you
Olivia Brasier there are problems with drugstore brands my stepmom can't show for foundation at drugstores because they just don't make shades for her skin tone so I think you mean white lower class people
@@sarahholness596 So say; “Dark Skinner Women Try To Find Their Shade In The Drugstore”
This was disturbing to me, i shop in ulta and sephora alllll the time, and about half of my foundations are drug store. i don't UNDERSTAND why they feel like higher-end brands have better shade selections.. THEY DON'T!
Alexis Bramble They didn't say they have a better selection they said it's easier for them to get a professional to match their shade for them because they obviously can't figure it out on their own.
you're so right! also they should've tried milani, la girl, or wet n wild they're better drugtstore foundations imo and carry more shades.
Alexis Bramble yeah wet n wild has a wild selection of colors that are great foundations in general and are really cheap. There is a lot of high end brands that are much more known for having a limited selection of shades. I get that was not the point but I feel like they wanted to portray the drugstore a certain way
Cyan Jackson Agreed. I got a wet n wild and then a Loreal. The loreal cost more but wasnt near as good as the wet n wild.
Alexis Bramble thank you! i'll spend good money on palettes and brushes, but if there's a dupe for a high-end foundation... i'm not complaining 😤
Honestly I think it matched their skin tones quite well...
Rainbow Turtle same they all look fine to me
I agree.
Rainbow Turtle ily you account name
i think that aswell...
It's Buzzfeed though so nothing is good enough for them
Freddie is like the only positive person on that video!
Katz OnFleek mhm
Yess!! Like why even do all this effort and make a video if you are just going to be negative and complain.
Katz OnFleek no not really she was still pretty negative
Katz OnFleek lol
I don't blame any POC of being skeptical of drugstore foundation
I hate when they do drugstore videos. so freaking negative
I know. It's like they have this bias towards it and it makes me so mad.
It's like they no longer realize that most people can't Fork out $40 for foundation. I need food in the fridge, man 😂
They just want to know if it works as well as the other ones do👎🏽
I rather use drug store make up than make up from Sephora
Baby Unicorn they’ve done these videos before and always hate on the foundations they just don’t know how to color match themselves
Those 2 newer girls might have been the most depressed people I've seen in a BuzzFeed video
Liz Babcock I've been scrolling the comments to see if anyone else thinks like me😂😂
Elzy Anne lol I did the same thing!!
Liz Babcock ya
damn right girl
i'd be that depressed if i had to work for buzzfeed too
This was kinda annoying because i've only wore drugstore foundation and they look good and im darker than freddie so what is the truth
Eva Kubi judging by what I saw around at the store it looks like they only checked out cvs...
Marvellous A it depends on a lot of things to be honest like skin type and undertone but that one girl only picked up one like sis you gotta try a little harder than that lol
IWillWaitForYou yeah they didn't try in my opinion but they also have jobs so 🤷🏿♀️
Eva Kubi then again this is their job. They should've tried harder but whatever the video is out already
It also depends on the location. I live in a major city and depending on which part of the city that I'm in will determine the shade range. A lot of places cater to the majority in that neighborhood.
I dont get why they are so negative about it. It was like they had already determined that they wouldnt like it
Cats are my only friends buzzfeed needs views so it has to relatable and lazy
Cats are my only friends I thought jasmine really gave her foundation a hard time when it looked like it matched
Cats are my only friends because they are rich and make so much money a year so they think buying drugstore makeup is a crime
Cats are my only friends they're negative because there isn't many shades for their skin color, they maybe would like it if they'd have more color shades in the drug store. Where as in Sephora or any other big makeup store has much more shades
Elizabeth Perez but there was shades for their skin tone?
Why didn't that other darker lady buy the foundation Freddie bought. She kept complaining there wasn't anything darker, but the one Freddie said was too dark for her would have matched the other lady nearly perfectly.
Eleanor M you think that colour is the only thing that goes into matching someone ? Girl sit
Kristian B isn't that what color matching is though
umm... what else is there? texture?
@@Alex-nj4cg undertones, definitely.
Alix Avacado skin types
I hate how they make it seem like trying on drugstore makeup is like a science experiment. What's so bizarre or foreign about it? It can be just as good, if not better than high end makeup 😐
Ahh, yes I see your point :)
AlmightyLarry I personally don't like that there's no way to test them out. Drugstores abs brands have been doing a lot better but then there's the issue of what each store will carry.
sheshiechan aren't there testers in the drugstore in America? Sounds weird to me tbh.. In the Netherlands, I can walk into a drugstore and swatch everything.. Essence, Catrice, NYC, Maybelline, L'oreal, MaxFactor, etc
AlmightyLarry i think it's only bc they cant test it
Skylar Smans the only places that have testers is Sephora and ulta. however they also dont have testers for every foundation and shade. many employees (atleast in my area) find it unnecessary to have a tester if the shade isnt popular.
"out of all these 30 shades, i can probably only use 2" girl thats the point, there is an array of foundation shades that is suitable for many different skin tones presented in the display.
Celery Branches lmao exactly if you fit every single foundation there's a problem
not everyone has the luxury of just going to a high-end makeup store and just buy a $40 foundation... it just doesnt work that way ladies
what she meant is out of all the brands, only two out of the like seven or 8 had ones even close to the darkness of her skin
+Sutorola that's actually not what she meant.
Oh please. We all know that there are always like 50 shades of pale and beige and hardly any brown shades.
No one actually uses those flat foundation brushes damn buzzfeed u couldnt give them a stippling brush?? And why was the lightest girl complaining about shades, she can easily pick from the shades for white ppl. Also they coulda went for black girl friendly brands like Iman, black opal or black radiance which are also sold in drugstores
To any pale girls/boys out there I would recommend watching John Maclean's RUclips channel
For any very dark girls/boys I would recommend Nyma Tang she is brilliant.
omg I love John Maclean's videos he is so elegant and refined you can literally watch his videos and learn how to do makeup and become smarter in 15 minutes
Primara Lazureth his voice is so soothing
They should just colab and go trough the top palest and deepest shades together lol
Musicsavedme very good recommendations
I stan John . Sometimes people are so into like all rights and stuff that they forget about pale people, like pale who's feet are glowing
this is why FREDDIE is part of ladylike
take NOTES
Hailey Everst 😊
She's so positive 😊
You can tell Freddie is part of Ladylike because they always spin the experiences to say at least a few positive things and she was trying to do that in this video when everyone else was not trying to hold anything back.
Geez they're so negative about it.
Like sorry, but not everyone can drop $40 on a foundation
Maggie
Amen!
Maggie IKR
Maggie Preach!
This issue wasn't the cost, the issue is that the drugstore makes about 2 shades per line for black people. We HAVE to spend $40 because those are the ones that match our skin tone. It's easy to say that when your shade is alway readily available🙄
Maggie yo chill, the point is that drugstore makeup is limited to black women. high end makeup stores have alot more variety and more reasonable shades
I'm so pale I have to mix white face paint with my foundation
Olivia Pasik LA Girl has a white foundation you can mix in! It's on Amazon and like $3
Sally Gatenby you just saved my life...like the original commenter I used face paint..I had to wait for three months for the Halloween makeup to come out again because I ran out 😂
Most people have to mix two foundations to get their perfect color. I used to have to do it for people all the time.
This should've been called 'Women of Colour Try Drugstore Foundation' as they're focusing on shade range rather than actual foundation.
I get it there's not as much of a selection compared to high end makeup and only few so drugstore brands do a diverse range, that doesn't mean 20 different white shades then 3 for woc btw. This deserves more recognition.
they actually did this video again but with different people and called it 'Women of Colour Try Drugstore Foundation' and it actually has Brianna in it, who is in this video.
Jazzmyne foundation she chose matched perfect with her neck
Even the beuty gurus say that the drugstore foundation aren’t bad, and they know a lot about makeup. They are only saying negative thing about the foundations.😕
Hey, newsflash: Not everyone can afford expensive makeup. Some of us have to work with what's in the drugstore, and that's that. That means there won't always be a perfect shade, but it can still work with some powder and concealer. A lot of drugstore foundations can look fantastic as long as you take good care of your skin, put on primer and apply it correctly. So stop complaining and put a little bit of pep in that brush!
right? Like I can hardly afford the drug store makeup, these videos insulting it so much make me crazy, and make me feel like trash since I cannot afford the high-end makeup. I guess I should only go out at night since I wear the cheapest foundation
Winona Sylvia You guys are WAY TO SENSITIVE!! my god. Don't buy drugstore take care of your skin and save your money for better products. It didn't work for them if it works for u fine. It is hard to find drugstore foundation for dark skin
Keep in mind that once it's on your face, people wouldn't really be able to tell whether or not it's high end or drug store makeup. Your makeup's packaging doesn't matter. It's really all about how you wear it/"own it" as they say. :)
Well to be fair, it is hard to find drugstore foundation for light skin, too. I have to buy my foundation online because they are all too dark and/or too orange for me. And I'm not even super light, just lighter than the majority of the women in my country.
And there also is very good drugstore makeup.
Hey newsflash: Stop ranting about a stupid video just because you're salty.
Stop overreacting most people can't afford $45 foundation jeez
If I found a foundation that actually works for my skin and is my perfect shade, it happens to be high end (almost $50) but I purchase it once every 6-8 months. That's 100% worth it to me lol I have literally 100 foundations in my collection, so I've tried and tried again most drugstore products. I've wasted WAY more than $50 at the drugstore trying to find a perfect foundation lol
Glam Barbie, even I, a pale girl can't find a shade that fits me perfectly. Either too dark or too light and there are different shades under the same name. So I understand the struggle. 😂
me too Alexandra Musick, its funny too see highlighters that actually match my skin tone...i still haven't found a damn foundation
I think Jazzmyne is convinced she is darker than she is.. I'm pretty sure we have the same skintone and I'm white
Nibor um I don't thinks so... 😅😬😐
Nibor hunny noooo
Marvellous A ikr
For most black people (even those with lighter skin), it's not just about the color tone, but also the undertone. Most likely, the lighter colored foundations would have pink undertones that still would make a light skinned black person look ashy.
Nibor ikr
... and I'm here wondering how the one with the lip piercing puts her lipstick on
PetitePatisserie she probably just takes it out and then puts it back in.
It's not hard lol I do it with mine in
They were all so negative going into this, and ngl that really pisses me off. Because newsflash Buzzfeed not everyone just shops at high end stores and these foundations looked perfectly fine on these girls and they were just being negative. This whole video was irritating.
ikr like if they went into the situation with a negative out look then of course their not gonna like it
jana irwin same I do t think they gave it a fair chance you can't just go into something not opened minded you won't like it then
jana irwin totally agree. they all looked perfectly fine
jana irwin agree so much
yeah and ive seen a ton of positive reviews on the maybelline one like thats actually a holy grail for most oily girls
Why is Jazzmyne complaining..... her skin tone without makeup is actually pretty light
Ashley Claire exactly it mind baffled me lmao
Ashley Claire She could literally find her foundation anywhere. Don't know why she was trying to act like there was no color for her.
I hate the title of the video. like, not all people can afford high end, so the fact that they all are looking at drugstore stuff from "above" is ridiculous.
I hate how negative most of the girls were being. I understand it sucks, color matching isn't easy for anybody. I'm pale but not VERY pale and I still have problems finding shades whether it's because they don't run light enough or I'm in between shades. it's not easy for anybody I don't think because everybody is so different. I get that especially darker girls have problems finding makeup shades but you have to at least give the companies points for trying. they can't cater to everybody's needs perfectly no matter the shade, undertones, or skin type
Alyssa perfectly said! ❤️
To be honest, I'm a little disappointed that there wasn't anyone with like super light/pale skin because it's really hard to find a good foundation with that type of skin as well. Of course I understand that it's hard for people of colour to find the right matches but it's also quite hard for pale people like me or others.
Milena C I have the pale problem but have not seen a drugstore pigment drop or foundation mix?
Helena McLaughlin Im litterally a ghost so I know the struggle but we have more possibilties than women of colour especially when it comes to contouring. for example la girls cosmetics came out with a white foundation or the pale pale shade of the custom FX cover drops or the nyx drop foundation. or you just Google it and order a white foundation mixer online I mean you don't have to match it since its white ;D
I agree with all these things, especially that dark skin has more variety when it comes to different undertones and all that but I've never seen like a white foundation or something like that at a drugstore or Douglas (more or less Germanys Sephora) but maybe that's also because it's not as big of a topic where I live (I don't know about the big cities like Berlin or Hamburg) than it is in America :)
Viviane Lily Potter I agree. I'm really pale and I've only found one foundation that I can afford and wear without looking orange
Viviane Lily Potter I agree completely
You should try this for cool toned pale girls too
jessaROXmySOX Yes!!! At my palest, my skin is basically gray. There is no foundation in the world for that.
Nellie Complains Have you tried the lightest shade from the Maybelline Matte Poreless Fit Me? I tried it and was grossed out bc it practically turned me grey (that never happened with a color before - not my favor light shade!) ...but it might work for you! It was also not my favorite foundation otherwise - but some people absolutely swear by it!
jessaROXmySOX but I feel like there are so many cool toned pale foundations out there. There are hardly any yellow toned pale foundations. Most of the pale foundations are too pink
pale neutral is the worst lol
They should try this with pale olive or pale warm toned skin, that's fckn hard, I swear every light foundation is pink.
jazzmyne girl your skin is WHITE. like i'm almost pretty sure i'm darker than you and i'm south east asian like tan olive yellow all overrr the place. srsly. chill.
hayakatsu she is pale, but she's probably mixed.
her skin is not white she is mixed and has yellow and red undertones there is a difference
Ayo Oladeru there's literally no red undertones on her skin tho, she somehow thinks she has them
hayakatsu my moms darker than her like chill
hayakatsu I'm sorry if everyone wasn't the same skin tone. I didn't know everything had to be about race. Kind of awkward. And it's not like any one race has it better on finding the right hue of foundation. People aren't greyscale, were brown, which is a combination of brightness and hue.
jazzymyne is trying so hard to be a minority . saying "us" with freddie but girl you're white... and saying you were ashy with beige foundation
No she is not.Look at her hair,that's what all black peoples hair look like
Sabrina Tona she's mixed or something but her complexion is really light. brands cater to her skin tone.
Rosa Polo oh I see ur point
She's not white, she is mixed. Minority is every skin color other than white. Black people aren't the only ones in the minority.
she mixed.. but she also lightskinned af and she shouldve acknowledged that like?
that one girl in the plaid is so pessimistic :/// like have some faith pls
jazzmyne so light why she got a problem finding a shade
Lilly Venus most likely the hue of her skin
yeah i think its bc she isnt warmtoned or cool toned but more neutral lmao i was wondering the same
Lilly Venus she isn't light
yeah that’s what i️ was thinking bc during the summer i️ got way darker than she is in this video and have no problem finding foundation
Yasmin Ball yes she is look at her
these colors don't even look bad. add bronzer and highlight and it looks fine damn
Elena Carrera I was thinking the same... I also do this, it's also easier than doing fullblown contour. AND It's even better if your foundation is a tad lighter than it is too dark, because it oxidizes when you wear it. 💁
LOL what.. Freddie's looks too dark. Jazzmyne's and Brianna's look ashy af.
To be fair, they're also in a studio with lights on camera. It's probably more noticeable in person.
I think their being pretty unfair to drugstore foundation brands, like I remember when all you could get was warm-toned medium shades and nothing else, like recently I drugstore brands have tried t branch out their shades so Idk why they were complaining about being too dark at the beginning ... also I'd like to point out that not all dark-skinned ladies out there can afford to go get higher end $20+ foundation and they shouldn't have to, I'd would have thought they'd be more fair in their reviews of the drugstore stuff to help guide these women (or men ) on what to look out for at the drugstore but instead they just whine and and throw bare shade at everyone who cant afford to buy NARS or whatever. Very pointless video if you ask me.
All I can say is that I use Maybelline foundation on a regular basis. Mostly everyone ask me did I get my foundation from Mac or Sephora. No I tell them it's Maybelline foundation they look amazed. It takes the right amount time you do for any foundation to make it look right. Moisturize your face ,put some primer on that bish and put the foundation on like a pro. And you good to go. Look like a million bucks.
Dashaun Statham Do you use matte or Dewy?
Cheetah I use both because I have combination skin. But most of the time I can get really oily especially when I'm active during the day so I mostly use matte fit me foundation.
Same! I use the Matte one and it's the best I've ever used and since I'm still a high-school students the price is just perfect for me. It's lasted for me more than 8 months since I don't wear a lot of foundation. ♥
what primer do you use?
Nikki T Hi! even though I'm not the original commenter I'd like to point out that I have oily skin! so I just wash my face really well, put on my olay moisturizer and use a little bit of aloe Vera gel as primer! it's cheap and effective! :) And my foundation does not look cakey or patchy with it! been using aloe Vera for over 2 years now!
When Buzzfeed women think that everyone has disposal incomes and can just drop any amount of money on makeup. Mind you, high-end make-up is notorious for having a smaller shade range than drugstore makeup. Drugstore makeup is known for having a lot of shades while high-end usually caters to lighter skin. This is widely known. Sorry that us peasants can't afford "high-end" great makeup Buzzfeed. Thanks for basically bagging on the only thing most people can afford that works just fine.
I can barely ever find my shade anywhere because I am too pale. And the difference is yes, drugstore may have a larger shade range, but the majority of ones for WOC are actually not accurate to a true skin tone. They are either way too orange-toned or way too ashy. High end not only is usually better and safer for your face, but also is more accurate to the true skintones of WOC/ Super pale women. They tried and had some issues, just as I have issues as well. I'd have to agree with Sabrina's take, that is more their goal of what they were trying to say.
Sutorola I thought I was the only one
That's what I was saying!
Drugstores might have more shades BUT the shades aren't the right tone for most POC. I just started wearing makeup last year but browsing through higher end and lower end makeup I can see that I am the darkest shade in a lot of drugstore brands that aren't catered towards us. There are great brands that are POC specific but they're hard to find in store. But in saying this, drugstore brands didn't start expanding their foundation shades until a couple years ago.
Lily Cunanan exactly. 👐
Jazzmyne thinks she's so dark but she looks white
Zoe Domm she never said anything about being dark, her only concern was undertones not being right for her. wrong undertones in makeup can make a big difference and is usually what causes one to be "ashy" or "orange". i'm olive skinned and fair to medium depending on how tan i am, its still hard to find matches at the drug store because most of their "yellow" and "warm" toned foundations still pull orange on my face. doesn't matter if the actual shade of the makeup (IN THEORY) matched my skin color.
Zoe Domm for real LMFAO 😂 like that looks like your tone why you complain?
Zoe Domm i thought she was white in that setup
Mobina Starz "that looks like your tone" well it's not. so.
Bella Oliva get a good eye check sweaty
"Out of all of these I could maybe use 2 out of 30," How many does she need?
Magan Cooper ikr
Rainbow Popcorn yeah thats the same with most people tho so why does she need more to match herr
Rainbow Popcorn yeah but the entire line isn’t just for her, doesn’t she only need one shade? if all the shades matched her, then what would everyone else have?
It's like she expected the entire line to match her
That’s not what she’s saying. She’s saying there’s 28 light skinned shades with different undertones and different ranges in the middle but that does nothing to benefit the people out there who also need those shades and tones but also have darker and super pale skin.
"Out of all of these I can only use one or two, and there's like 30" ????? You need to use all of them ????? There's on,y supposed to be like one or two that match ??????
Katie reaves Not personally use but for darker skin tones. There are only 3 or so shades for darker skin tones to choose from out of like 30
Katie reaves You dont' get it.Out of 30 foundations there's like 27 colors for light complexion but only 3 for dark skin tones , it's absolutely not acceptable to me. Just imagine having in most drugstores like 30 foundations colors for dark skin people but only 3 for white , you'll find that normal ?
well taking into consideration the ratio of POC to white people in the US, 3 to 30, which equals 1 to 10, is pretty accurate
Emma Schuren
black people aren't the only people who have darker complexions when u think of Hispanic native Americans and middle eastern people ur talking majority of the U.S so their definitely should be more then 3 brown shades out of 30
my thoughts exactly!!
What is up with the two newer girls?? They acted like drug store makeup was the end of the world. The colors matched pretty well. They need to stop acting like they are victims or something.
Also, news flash, everyone has about two shades that work. That's the point, so everyone has a color similar to their color! I'm super pale (might I add the lightest color is often too dark), but I make it work. Companies can't make 400 different shades of makeup! Please stop acting as if L'Oréal is going to call you right now and make your skin tone.
Suga Kookie c: the problem lies when they don't even attempt to have an array of colors. It's not about specificity, it's about variety.
Suga Kookie c: I agree! While my face isn't THAT pale, my neck and chest are, so finding a color that matches if pretty difficult. I use maybelline fit me in 102 (after they introduced a bunch of new colors, mostly new darker colors, I might add) and it still oxidizes and leaves me a little orange. Foundation is a struggle for almost all people
ARMYYYYYYYYY
Victims is a strong word. I think you need to rethink your word choices.
Listen all y'all in the comments; MY skin is super pale as well, so pale I buy manic panics white foundation to mix with whatever foundation I'm using at the moment because nothing is pale enough, but there is still even less selection than that for people with darker skin. Idk why it seems so scandalous to you that black people are struggling to find foundation and you all seem to not feel represented? Maybe cause this video isn't aimed at your skin tones. It's not aimed at mine either but It was still pretty fun to watch
Mossy Deer Bones i agree!! its hard to be pale or darker than a person with medium skin.
Mossy Deer Bones THANK YOU!
"Make it about me!!!!" Is all I get from them
Thank you.
I didn't get the missing out-part. The reactions I saw were meant to acknowledge that although the struggle for very pale people is not the same as it is for PoC, it is quite similar, and we might understand each other in this aspect. Makeup brands need to widen their colourselection (+more undertones) both ways, and not only focus on the medium-skin types. Personally, I don't feel underrepresented, just frustrated that the standards for foundations in 2017 still don't fit so many people.
3:22, that matches jazzmyne quite good actually, and if she put lil bit of bronzer on, it would be perfect
honestly the foundations looked fine on all the girls, not sure why they're hating on them so much
Anna Quinn cause its buzzfeed
buzzfeed hates everything and everyone
Because no one wants crap makeup. Freddy has the best skin so the makeup didn't look bad on her, but the application on Jazzmyne and the other girl on the left and side in the other duo both looked awful. No coverage at all, you could see dark spots and circles like they weren't even wearing foundation.
There's no coverage because of foundation they choose, I would recommend Revlon Colorstay or Max Factor Lastin Performance if you want good coverage, but I'm not sure if there will be suitable colors for dark skin, in Poland you can choose from 6-7 shades.
Because they were not their skin tone.
Gurl my struggle's the same, I'm too white for any foundation so....
Cutiee Pie try illamasqua or GOSH if your in the UK. Illamasqua is more expensive but it lasts forever and they go to literally pure white so you can get that and use it as a mixer for drug store cheapies
Cutiee Pie have you tried nars sheer glow in Siberia? I'm quite fair and that one fits me
Devii nars siberia is waaayyy to dark for me
Cutiee Pie Same
Girl same! I use Asian products because they tend to have more light foundation options
Their makeup looks fine... the struggle that they keep complaining about is that they couldn't find their shade, but that's how it is for everyone shopping in the drugstore. If that was the point of this video, then why would Buzzfeed only cast women of color? I'm pale af with yellow undertones and that's difficult to find at the drugstore too. I understand that the point of having more minorities that are shared on social media, is to give more exposure to try and make society be more inclusive. Drugstore makeup has come a long way to include people of every skin tone, and I think that this video was predisposed with the notion that they wouldn't like it because "there isn't a color for me." ... But there actually was a color so they didn't know what to do. If you're going to try and make a video about women of color, own it, and say it in the title. If you're going to make a video about "women," especially if it's a makeup video, then use a variety of skin tones. I don't know. I'm just tired of the negativity on Buzzfeed. This video is a major fail.
They should've used this topic to highlight how far drugstore makeup has come instead of being so negative. Again, their makeup looked good. They didn't even talk about how they liked the makeup itself, just the damn color.
Their colours werent matched perfectly tho. Like the only one who actually had a colour match was Freddie. The rest all were off in colours.
Alaina Fisher agreed
Okay but like the vast majority of makeup videos in RUclips are geared towards white women. And also, we don't expect those to labeled "foundation for white people", so why would we expect this to be labeled as specifically for women of color. Like, ew.
Right? I am very pale (I usually go for the shade Natural Ivory in Maybelline) but I still have yellow undertones. A ton of foundations don't compliment yellow undertones.
i think im the only person who thinks it matches them just fine. or are they just picky.......?
'So there is like 30, and I can wear about 2.' Maybe cause you're not meant to be able to wear all of the shades?
Jesus She was referring to brands, obviously.
Jessica Laurin Wow, ok so you guys are both thick skulled lol. She was very clearly referring to there being 30 different foundation brands and yet only two carrying what looked to be her shade.
Kimmy Grimes no she wasn't lol
Kimmy Grimes nah, she was referring to the shades.
Jesus I know like I'm light skin and that's a true statement for me too lmao
They sound so snobby. Like they are too good for drugstore cosmetics 👎
Amarylis Dulce it's just foundation. A lot of makeup brands don't make darker foundations that can suit their skin tones.
Hello these are black women. Of course they're not trying to say they're too good for drugstore makeup. Did you not notice how they struggled IMMENSELY to find foundations that worked for them?? They don't have much of a choice but to use higher end brands that make foundations for more skin tones. As a black woman myself, as much as I'd love to buy Maybelline foundation for $8, there's nothing that matches my skin well enough to get away with at my local supermarket. I HAVE to use designer makeup, I.e., Clinique, Nars, etc. Those women are also in my age group with jobs in fields similar to mine, which means that while they may be comfortable, they still probably don't have buckets of cash to just spend on something as frivolous as makeup! So check yourself and actually take in the dialogue that's happening in the video before you try to call someone out for being snobby!
I'm a student who honestly does not have the money to be buying expensive foundation like that but most WOC like me are left with no choice! I live in the U.K. where shade selection in our "drugstores" are even worse and the one foundation that is dark enough for me (L'Oreal) is too red and makes me break out! I'd rather spend my money on a foundation that I know is dark enough with the correct undertones and the formula won't irritate my skin. We've begged for inclusion but it takes a long time for brands to listen, especially drugstore brands so until then; I guess many WOC will continue to sound "snobby" about drugstore foundation. Honestly, I'll get any other products from a drugstore apart from foundation!
What about pale people? It's the hardest to find foundation because companies label orange "porcelain"
Have a variety of different people because it not easy for everyone to find the right foundation
Hannah Hutto looked for foundations with pink undertones. Unless you pick an orange foundation, it shouldn’t be orange..
Hannah Hutto I'm not that dark or even pale (I'm an olive/beige color) and I still can't find my foundation color because "dark beige" is white.
Yes and the lightest shade that stores carry is Ivory and that's too dark for me
Hannah Hutto so true, I have not yet found a drugstore foundation for my pale skin tone.
I'm Asian and I have yellow undertones. Never found any drugstore foundation that matches my skin tone. They claim they do, but they don't. The only foundation that works for me is MAC NC20/25
dbart0n omg i understand ur problem! for me its sooo hard to find under eye concealer, most of them will look ashy or uneven to me. i finally find one when i try mac n24. but for foundation bourjouis cc cream kind ok for me (but idk if thats drugstore :p)
kajitani13 ulta brand waterproof concealer the light with yellow undertone is great just to yellow on me, i switched to the tone correcting one for same reason!
check out EX1! its made specifically for yellow undertones and its only like 12 bucks! saved my life
All the makeup I've ever tried that is close to my skin tone is way too pink and just makes my blemishes stand out a lot.
im asian too and the PERFECT foundation shade is 220 natural beige in fit me maybelline matte omfff fav foundation
All my foundation is drugstore LOL....
Juniara Salma same
Saaaaammmmeeee
..all of my makeup
I'm sure Jasmine does not have too much trouble finding a foundation shade that matches her, she's like a medium tan.
I’m the lightest shade you can get and have all these problems. Tbh people with medium toned skin probably have it the easiest, but it’s very very difficult to find an exact match regardless of your skin color. I thought some of these were pretty spot on. I use a shade that’s a little too yellow for me but it’s not really a big deal.
Side note: Please don't open and swatch drugstore foundations. I know there are no testers but It's unsanitary and disrespectful to other customers who might want to purchase that shade.
for real lool, i've been looking for this drugstore blush in my area for ages and most stores either don't have it for some stupid reason or the ones i go to all have someone's finger literally smushed into it
Unfortunately they only do this in makeup stores like Sephora or Ulta, not in any drugstores. (that I know of at least)
shell1295 walgreens does it
chairty kissinger None of the Walgreens in my area have testers but I have heard of some that do. Hopefully they'll make testers readily available in more drugstores soon. :)
Even then the drugstores in my area all have readily available testers but people still grab ones from the back or non testers and open them
How about a video on finding foundation for very light skin?
GlamBarbie Well why didn't they include both light and dark skinned girls in this? They have two dark skinned girls, and two medium skinned girls, but no dark skinned girls.
Rebekah Watson yup.. and also pale yellow tone girl 😅 its hard to find foundation that match my skin. its either too pink or too grey
It's harder to find yellow undertones in the drugstore than it is to find foundations with pink undertones
For whatever reason make up companies seem to think that if you're super pale you must also have cool undertones, which isn't true for a lot of us :/ I've kind of given up on foundation all together and just use korean bb creams, they're light but also have warm/yellow undertones
Rebekah Watson when they said "women testing out foundations" I thought it was gonna be different types of skin tones that was more inclusive. They preach about not being racist or judgemental and yet they still leave people out all the time as if certain minorities are better than the rest.
When you're so pale even "ivory" and "porcelain" are too dark D:
same here.
Kimberly Brouwers literally the only shade that works for me is "Porcelain Ivory"
lucky, im a burnt bean shade
Ditto. I have to mix my foundation with a white foundation mixer just to get a light enough color for my face.
I'm pale af too but I don't think the problem is that they're too dark, it's that they're always too yellow or orange.
Am I the only one who wanted to see someone pale?
Ellie Semedo do you feel a bit under represented?? No problem; They’ve got some other videos where they have something more ur style
this is buzzed clownery don't expect to see anything like that in here
Very white comment
I'm a makeup artist and you don't need a perfect match, if you use different cream and liquid complexion products of similar shades that are close to your skin tone and blend them together you'll find a pretty good shade. Also no one's face is all one colour so it's good to use foundations and concealers to create the complexion you want
OK Buzzfeed can you please leave it to the hundreds of beauty youtubers/gurus to continue making these thousands of these type of videos themselves?
Just focus on making quality videos like ladylike, try guys and unsolved mysteries plsss
I watched a video about a guy who used to work at buzzfeed that said they want quantity over quality, so...not surprised there.
"quality videos"
okay id like to add that no matter your skin colour (whether youre black, white, asian, latina, arab, mixed, etc.) theres never gonna be dozens of foundations that match your skin perfectly. some are gonna be too orange, to ashy, to dark, etc. i myself have difficulty and i don't consider myself to be on any side of the spectrum (very pale or very dark) and i still have difficulty finding a perfect one not only at the drugstore but at sephora too. anyways, just saying, firstly dont go into an experiment being so close minded and secondly, this problem isnt only present for a specific groupe of people.
Mira Clerici thank u this is exactly what I was thinking
Mira Clerici BUT the problem is how there could be like 23 shades for fair/lighter skinned people but when it comes to people with darker skin tones theres like 4 shades
most of the stores where i live that sell make up, have a wide variation of dark skin tones. sometimes, even more than paler skin tones.
i hear ya it can be harder when it comes to darker skin tones but i think its hard for everyone really
Brianna Williams well just because there are 23 fair shades doesn't mean it will work for that one girl because they have different undertones and stuff
I'm white and I normally have to go to between 3 and 5 drugstores to find my shade. Going to one store and then complaining about not finding your perfect shade seems like a cop out to me.
Shelby Hooyenga normally for darker skin tones, there are only 1-5 foundations that you can choose from in a drugstore. I think that is what they were complaining about.
Diy With B totally untrue almost all drugstores carry the fit me line and the displays always have like 20 shades from light to extremely dark they just were really biased and didn’t know how to color match
Shakeyes Shook idk where u live bot where I live which is a predominately black area and Walgreens still doesn't carry the shades darker than Beyonce
Who is Beyonce?
They just don’t have my shade at drugstores, nothing is pink undertoned, it’s even hard to find my shade at Sephora, though I have found this concealer at Sephora that works
I wish they had tested out the foundation formulas on different skin types rather than just making it a video about matching the foundation color to their skin....
Athena Yes! I kinda feel like this video was ultimately pointless.
I'd like to see this with very pale girls. I mean we all know that it's hard for people with darker skin, but what about us ghost girls?
Alice Rasker yessssss
Ghost girls unite
Alice Rasker truuuue
Alice Rasker yalll always complaining tf y'all literally have more options than us tf
