I'm loving the e.l.f. soft glam foundation. It lasts all day long for me. It doesn't wear off, it doesn't settle or accumulate anywhere. I'll be 59 right after Christmas and I get compliments on my skin all the time.
I liked this one as well, but wondering what sunscreen do you wear under it? I've tried SOOOO many sunscreens and foundations and have yet to find the combination of products that 'play well together'.
I have been using the Elf foundation for about a month now. I was so impressed by it. I’m 66 years old with texture, a few deep lines and large pores. I’ve used expensive and drugstore foundations and so far this one has worked very well for me especially with the setting powder. For the price it’s a definite winner.
Agree, almost impossible to find a foundation that doesn’t looks awful & feel yukky on my face. I really appreciate your honesty, Angie. Can’t imagine all the $ you’re saved me. Thanks!
I am 56 and have tried so many foundations and nothing comes close to TirTir when applied correctly. I absolutely LOVE it and hope I can always find it. Covers amazingly well for being such a thin coat. Also the absolute best color match for me.
I love the Elf foundation too! I'm 68 and it is so hard to find drug store make up that looks good and does not settle inti wrinkles. Surprising how good it works 💕
I actually love the Tirtir foundation! It's easy to use too much and even the Chanel counter ladies asked what I was wearing! Love, love it! I think application takes a bit of practice! I'm 57yo with lines, pores, etc. - I've had good luck with it!
I love how you always show your beautiful skin up close for reviews. I felt the same way about the TirTir! It looked HORRIBLE on my face. Crazy, cakey, looked makeup-ey. I tried it at least 5 different times and every single time it looked ridiculous! LOL
Thanks Angie! I've tried the elf and found it to be exactly as you described. At 65 yo I don't wear foundation often, but this is the one I've reached for whenever I do. For me it beats much more expensive foundations and I found a color that's perfect for summer. I will definitely pick up another shade for fall as my coloring changes. I've been tempted to try the Tirtir and am now so glad I didn't! Thanks for helping this retired gal's wallet!!
@@AngieHotandFlashy hiya Angie ... could you go over your eye makeup -- lids --looks like a peach apricot. Is it a sheen -- no shimmer or whatever fandangled descriptor word the industry uses nowadays. Longwearing maybe--looks of high impact but not cakey. The bright eyelid is the dream these days.
I'm 58 and love TirTir! I did not like it at first but realized a little goes a long way so I only tapped it once in the product and then add more as needed. If you apply heavy it does not look good. it stays all day and looks great on. I use 24N Latte as well. It covers so well.
I've tried 5/6 different foundations since Age Perfect was discontinued and I'm so happy I finally managed to find Soft Glam in stock near me (Elf kiosks are usually picked bare at my drug stores). It's amazing, and I'm even happier given the price!! I would have paid $50+ for a foundation I liked, but I'm thrilled not to have to.
I am 52...with deep wrinkles on my forehead and big pores. I also have very oily skin. It covered up all my imperfections and did not settle in my wrinkles. I applied it with the sponge only on my cheeks and forehead and then used my beauty blender to spread it out. Use the Tir Tir makeup setting spray, lightly powered only in the t zone, and it stayed on ALL DAY. I bought the color swatches for $1.50 to get the correct color.
I'm 52 and have been using and loving Tir Tir for two months. Watching your application, I think you applied too much. I watched the Robert Welsh tutorial featuring Tir Tir before purchase, and I'm glad I did. He demonstrated how to get into nooks and crannies too. ❤
I almost didn’t buy it because was so viral, but after watching Robert’s vid, was convinced my first instinct was right and purchased it. Late 50s I have never had a non-pro foundation work for me like this! ❤
@@shellierichards7128 I use the Patrick Starr setting spray before and after I apply the tirtir cushion foundation. Lasts all day and prevents oxidization.
a good foundation should work well irrespective of application method. it should work fine even without special application techniques. thats what robert himself preaches and so i was quite surprised that for tirtir he is asking you to learn the "correct" technique
Love the shots in the bright sun, thanks for that. I didn't get on the Tir Tir train thanks to Jen Phelps, however it's so helpful to see face products on someone my own age, so thanks again Angie. Have you dermaplaned your facial skin in the past and don't anymore, or have you not tried it? I've been doing this every 2 weeks or so for a while and noticed that foundations that I merely like look even better.
I'm 46 with larger pores and I'm so glad I'm not the only one who had this experience with TirTir. I felt like it accentuated every single pore and wrinkle and looked awful texture wise.
Angie I’m so glad you really show your skin up close and how foundations behave on it. My skin is like yours with oily zones and texture plus some drier areas and the Tir Tir is how a lot of foundations behave on me. Thanks Angie for being real.
I’m 44 y/o, do not have 20 y/o skin, and I love the TirTir. I also have combo skin. For me, using just a very little bit at a time, and spreading it around a wider area makes all the difference. Mine lasts all day, I just touch up my t-zone mid day with a little powder and I’m good to go. I live in Southern California where it is also hot. The TirTir definitely works great for some and not for others.
Same for me, but I'm 55 with dry skin. I think the trick with TirTir is using a much smaller amount than you think you should. I also swipe the applicator around my nose instead of patting and it seems to work fine. It's so weird to me that it works amazingly for some people and terribly for others.
I’m 55 and I love the tirtir. I didn’t like the elf, used it once and never reached for it again. I like a thin base. Dior, pat mcgrath and Armani luminous silk are go to foundations, followed by tirtir.
@@jessicahitchens6926ufff ya, I still didn't find a foundation I'd like over my luminous silk, although for my skin the CT Airbrush flawless finish is also great, but the TirTir is just so easy and the only one I also wear under my eyes, super thin layers is the answer for most with those issues....
The Tirtir definitely required a lot of trial and error practice for me to be able to wear it, which included it only working with one primer over all others I tried for all the botching reasons you experienced, Angie. It also required a specific application: dabbing with the cushion, then a THOROUGH blending with a brush. I liked the finish, but just way too much work, honestly. I'll stick with my L'oreal nude serum, TYVM! Thanks for the great content, Angie, this 57-year-old face appreciates your perspective so very much!
thank you for such a thorough comparison. Would you be willing to do a video just like this for the best drugstore fountain? I am a couple months shy of 60 and found your analysis so useful. Thank you again!
Hi Angie, Love your reviews. I'm 67 years old and prefer the elf as well. That being said, I don't mind the Tir Tir, though I apply it with my BK 101 brush and a very light application. I don't like the applicator at all, it applies way too much for me. It certainly does stay all day as well. But I'd agree with you that the drier the skin, the better the elf would be.
Thank you so much for doing this review. I purchased the Tirtir foundation and hated it when using the sponge it comes with. Then I prepped my skin with a light moisturizer and used a very small amount on my BK beauty foundation brush. It looked great and really did last all day. I am 65 with lots texture and dryness. Just shows you that no matter how wonderful a product may be for some people it may not work for everyone. I love ELF products so can’t wait to try the new foundation. Thank you for this review Angie
I am a senior who has slight rosacea and pores. Require full coverage. I really like Tirtir and so was amazed at how flawless my face looked. Granted I only wear makeup less than 8 hours/day. I have applied slight amt translucent set powder on top to set certain areas. For me it was a win.
I'm with you. I'm 61 and the Tir Tir enhanced every bad thing about my skin and was crushed when it didn't work! It really drove home how time & age affects skin. It makes me feel a bit better when you, with better skin than me, still couldn't get it to work. Haven't tried the elf foundation yet only because I've been wearing a powder foundation for the past few years due to oily skin woes. Excellent review as usual!!
Although I’m over so over the TirTir foundation reviews, I am happy to see that you reviewed it and what your thoughts on it were. I do rely on your opinion and that of a few other influencers I watch for honest reviews. Thanks for your thorough and honest review 🙂
Angie, I used the TIRTIR Mask Fit Tone Up Essence Tinted Moisturizer underneath the foundation and it applied much smoother. I also applied it in small amounts. For the sides of my nose, I bend the sponge in half to get into those deep areas. I add a light finishing powder and then used a setting spray to finish it off. Like another user, it does take trial and error. Thank you for all your wonderful reviews!
I am 53 and I had the same experience with the TirTir. It shows every pore and texture. Today was the first day that I wore it, so I am going to try one more time with applying less of it like some of the comments said. I LOVE the ELF Soft Glam Foundation. I apply it with my fingers. I tried it with a brush but I have found with my fingers works better for me. I LOVED this foundation from the first time I wore it.
I agree with you on the Tir Tir. I’m 55 and have the same skin issues as you, combo skin and large pools. Every time I ware it I can’t wait to wash it off! I’m definitely go to try the elf one next. Thank you for the honest reviews.
At 55 the Tir Tir looks like everything that I don't want in a foundation. Settling, pores, texture, and just an overall aging effect I'm trying to avoid. I've been very tempted to buy this, so thank you for this review!
Thanks so much for this, i used to wear loreal infallible foundation, the glowy one rather than the matte one and it has been looking cakey lately because my skin has changed. I will give the elf one a shot.
I am 71, and I bought Tir Tir and liked it. The first time I used a brush, I dotted my brush on my hand first, then applied it to my face. My husband even said he liked it.
I’ve been really enjoying the e.l.f. Soft Glam. I’m 60, with combination/dry skin (my driest areas are around the eyes and mouth, and I can get *slightly* oily on the forehead, otherwise, “normal”). I got a good shade match on my first try with shade 14 - Fair/Cool. It’s my new everyday foundation (and second favorite overall, after the NARS Sheer Glow). So happy with it! iI’m glad it got the Angie Seal of Approval!❤
Thanks Angie! This ELF foundation has been on my feed like crazy for a while now. After watching you here I just clicked your Amazon and got it. I guess our skin tone is similar bc got the same shade too. 😅 I do really like some of ELF products and their prices are SO good. Have a great Labor Day weekend. God Bless America!!❤😊
Your videos are spot on for mature women and I almost always agree with you. I tried a mini version of the TirTir and HATED, so mystified that it is so popular. I am testing the Elf and not bad but I have to say the Lisa Eldrige skin tint and her regular foundation are the winners for me. Thank you, your the best!
Even though my comment isn’t related to your video, so I don’t know if anyone cares, but I just wanted to thank you Angie for continuing to recommend Timeless Skincare. After all this time, I finally purchased several products during their last anniversary sale at 50% off and I really like them! Starting to see some nice results and I’m getting acclimated to the vitamin C. I used to hate the smell, but somehow I’m beginning to like it! I think because I’m seeing good results! Thanks again for all you do! ❤
I've been using the Elf Soft Glam Satin Foundation since it came out and really like it. Most of the time I just use tinted sunscreen because I don't like the look of makeup. The Elf one doesn't look like you have tons of makeup on which is great but it doesn't cover my imperfections totally. I'm 69 and have hyperpigmentation especially on my forehead. I don't have redness or enlarged pores but sunspots from years of sun. You are very very lucky to have perfect skin and your skin is perfect.
Thanks so much for this Angie! I'm 62 also and have wondered about the Tir Tir foundation. I absolutely love the Elf foundation! It's beautiful! I love the price too! Wondered try on and video!❤😊
I’m almost 64/yrs old, normal skin with fine lines. I’ve had great results from TirTir, but I use a beauty sponge, sometimes dry or damp. It looks more skin like and def not makeupy. I also used it with the Haruharu sun screen. I’m a fan. I got 2 more on sale a few months ago.
Have been using the Tir Tir for a couple months now. As soon as I saw you apply it I knew you were going to have problems with it. I did the same thing used way too much. After watching some other videos I saw that you have to just use a very minimal amount, works like a charm. Goes on great on my textured, dry 60-Year-old skin loves it.
I am so happy you did this video…I got influenced by the hype Tirtir got online that i decided to try it…after the first application I thought i applied incorrectly since it did not feel skin like at all for me…I have oily skin on my T-zone…so i decided to give it another go on another day…applied less, as everyone online says to do…unfortunately the result was the same…my skin was left blotchy and very shiny….so I am glad to see I am not the only one that is going to pass on this trend…I am 58 years old..so more mature skin…😊😊😊
I am so grateful for your honest reviews on “older, less than perfect skin”. I tried both of these products and didn’t like either of them on my 57 year old skin. I used multiple sunscreens as well and the result was the same. I think both of these products are better suited for younger skin. 😢
I did get "convinced" to buy the TirTir. Tried it 3 times with all the tips. It looked good from a distance - because of full coverage. Highlighted my pores and hot caught in texture and wrinkles. Handing off to my niece.
Thanks Angie! Super helpful as usual. I bought the Tir Tir foundation a couple of months ago, and had the same experience with it as you did. Just ordered the Elf foundation on amazon a couple of days ago, I am excited to try it!
I found that the Elf compares in shade (light neutral) and wear to my Cle de Peau (020) Radiant Fluid Matte. I add just a tad of moisturizer to the Elf and they look and wear the same. I got this tip from The Pampered Wolf and her mother! Thanks Jan!
Absolutely love the Tir Tir, I use a dense brush and it comes out perfect every time. I have pores on my nose and I just tap, tap with my brush and they're gone.
This was a nice review! I really like your thorough reviews, especially of drugstore makeup. I’ve really been liking drugstore makeup lately - it seems less and less necessary to spend a lot on makeup to get a good quality product.
The ELF looked really nice on you. I've been eyeing it but was waiting to see if you did a review. So glad you did & now I think I'm ready to try it out! Thank you Angie!
Hi Angie… You need to tap the sponge into the TirTir only once, then work it into the sponge evenly on the back of the plastic lid before applying. Then you get a thinner, more even coat. I’m in my 50’s and it looks great.
Thank you for being brave to be genuine Angie. I’m progressively unsubscribing channels where the filters used make my poor eyes struggle to focus. Enough already with the deception. You’re gorgeous, and of all channels, I trust your opinion because I believe you speak with truth. Keep going!🙌🧡
So appreciate how you always "give it to us straight," Angie! I'm 68 and after seeing all the TirTir hype, I thought I might give it a try. Thank you for saving me the time and money!
I bought the ELF when it came out and it has been my every day since I got it. I switch back and forth with my Merrit stick foundation and love them both. I do have dry skin with larger pores around my nose, texture around my mouth as well. The ELF works with all my fave sunscreens and cream products. My fave sunscreens are different from Angie’s because of my dry skin, but any foundation has to work with my sunscreen. Thanks for the review, I have been so tempted to buy the TirTir but I am just not sure😂
Excellent video thank you Angie . I can always trust you to give it like it is. I tried both and the elf is by far superior. The tir tir couldn't get a color match and then it was like a mask on my face and felt bad. The elf gives me a Dewey beautiful glow and looks great on camera again, thank you so much for being trusted resource!
Thank you for mentioning the scent - that can be a big turn off when you are sensitive to smells! I've been wanting to try the Tir Tir, but now that I know it has a strong smell, I will give it a pass. I have tried the elf one, but it didn't work as well for me as some other foundations I've tried. It may just be the wrong color though, so I might have to revisit in a different shade. Really appreciate how thorough and honest your reviews are!
Fabulous video, thank you. I've just purchased some E.L.F. make-up and I'm very impressed with their website. I'm looking forward to trying the products. xxx
Thank you Angie, I’ve been wanting to try the ELF Soft Glam foundation and I think you have given me enough info to make a purchase. The price point is very appealing. 😊
I was hoping to say that you loved it because I've been watching you for a while. I love the Tirtir, its quick application and long wear has me hooked. This is all I use when I travel for work. Tirtir stays put for 8+ hours of travel. In fact, I wore it for 15 hours once, and my skin looked like skin, but better. I was impressed. I put the Tirtir on cleansed moisturized skin, set with a powder and then spray it afterwards with the Tula signature glow spray. I adjust whether I use moisturizer prior to application depending on whether I am headed to the South (warmer no need for a moisturizer, my skin will moisturize itself) or North (colder weather dictates the need for a light moisturizer). I think you may have put on too much of the Tirtir. I will look at my skin more closely at the end of the day next time I use it. Now I'm curious.
Thanks for saving me from TirTir! Interested how you feel about the new Sephora Reveal the Real skin tint. Apologies if you've already done it but I'm pretty sure I've never missed a Hot N Flashy post on the last 5 years I've been following you.
Excellent video. Thank you for taking the hit for us...again! I tried the TirTir and ended up having to take it off immediately. Tried the Elf, and I like it.
Thanks so much fir the review. I love the ELF Soft Glam on my mature skin. It looks beautiful in you. I love a medium finish too...I'm glad to avoid the Tir Tir!!😊
I purchased the TriTri and I love it! I have watched a couple of videos and the most important thing is not to apply to much. I live in South Texas and it is humid! I love this especially if I am in a hurry because it is quick. I have a liquid bronzer and have no problem with application. I do apply a small bit of powder and use a setting spray. I am 82 and I am very satisfied. If I had purchased the Elk first I probably would have stuck with it. Thanks for the testing as I always like to see how different ones work.
Hi Angie. Thank you for this video. I rushed to buy TirTir in the beginning of the summer, mainly because I'm always on the lookout for makeup that travels easily. I thought it was just "okay" and my combo skin didn't look so great at the end of the day. I am now going to try the Elf....I have every shade of their putty blushes and use them every day. The foundation that I love and wear when I want to step up my game, is the Dior Forever Matte.
Thanks for such a thorough report on the two foundations. I’ve been wanting to try the Elf foundation on my 78 year old skin & now I will, based on your recommendation. Thanks so much Angie.
I'm 74. Tir Tir was better at covering the sun damage spots on my cheeks than e. l.f. but it just looked awful on my textured skin. I only used the e.l.f. once. I don't remember now why I didn't like it. I will pull out and try the e.l.f again today using the sunscreen you used. Thanks for your review, Angie.
I'm 58 and for the TirTir but I use a regular sponge with it and I love it. I did not like the little pad or using a brush to apply it. I also love the Elf one too
I have seen a lot of people say this. They apply it either a regular beauty sponge and it looked better. I bought the ELF at the beginning of summer so I might try the TirTir when I am ready to buy a new foundation
@@Aimee-Gates I have dry skin with an oily t zone and I don't even powder anymore except around my nose. The elf is really good too I feel like it's more coverage than the TirTir
So I finally received my TirTir foundation order. I watched this video before it arrived and worried that I made a mistake buying it. I didn’t know it was even popular on Tiktok but wanted to try the Korean makeup. I’m happy to say I love it. I think the key is to make sure you apply a thin layer and spread it out. Putting on too much will make it look very makeup-y. I have dry skin and I didn’t experience cracking on my dry areas. I’ve worn it twice and it’s a new favorite. I only bought the smaller size to try it first. I bet it will last me a long time since a small amount goes a long way. It will definitely be great for traveling.
Angie I have been watching your channel for years and I absolutely love your videos!! You do such a thorough job at testing products that I have purchased most of my favorite products because of you. I am definitely going to try this foundation. At the age of 59 I struggle with many of the same skin issues. Unfortunately your holy grail foundation doesn’t work well with my skin but I keep trying your suggestions. And I do like some of your other foundations recommendations. Thank you again for all your hard work.
Hi Angie, I really appreciate all of the testing you do for us! Looks like the Elf foundation is the clear winner and even did great in hot weather outside 👍🌺
Thanks Angie great review on both foundations I picked up the tir tir used it once it’s absolutely not worth the hipe I also picked up elf in two shades a nice foundation & not to heavy on the skin thank you for your honest opinion see you soon ❤
So happy you did this test! I bought it during Prime Days and barely tried it… probably wrong shade and too heavy fit my mature dry skin. I hear their is a newer one out that may look better.
I bought 4 of the ELF from the company to try to get a shade match. Still had to mix 2. I didn't like how it felt on my face and it didn't look like skin. Angie, I will try it again. I have been spoiled by Loreal hyaluronic serum foundation. 2-3 is good for summer and .5 to 1 is good for winter. Love how that goes on with fingers
Thank you so much for this, and for all your other well thought out reviews. Your closeup check ins at various times and in different types of light are super helpful. I have the Elf Soft Glam and love it! I’ve thought about trying the Tir Tir foundation, but if you can’t make it work, then there’s no way I can! (Similar age, skin type and tone).

@@the_dog_goddess I use the e.l.f whoa glow sunscreen.
@@the_dog_goddessSunscreen doesn't play well with that many foundations. Sunscreen also oxidize foundation
I've followed you for years and can only say you look even more amazing today! Your skin looks so healthy and you don't really need that much make up!

Angie, you’re kind of a genius when it comes to content creation. You make the content that everybody wants and nobody else is making.
100%
I like the elf. It looks like skin. The “pores and wrinkles” make you look like a great looking human. Not like you are wearing a mask. I love it!

Agreed, Pamperedwolf and Robert Walsh have videos up showing how to apply for the best results. Definitely, less is more!!
I am 52, love the tir tir for covering my substantial redness. Looks natural, lasts all day.
I’m 55 and I love the tirtir. I didn’t like the elf, used it once and never reached for it again. I like a thin base. Dior, pat mcgrath and Armani luminous silk are go to foundations, followed by tirtir.
Armani is one of the best. A little goes a long way.
Me too!!!
@@jessicahitchens6926ufff ya, I still didn't find a foundation I'd like over my luminous silk, although for my skin the CT Airbrush flawless finish is also great, but the TirTir is just so easy and the only one I also wear under my eyes, super thin layers is the answer for most with those issues....
The Tirtir definitely required a lot of trial and error practice for me to be able to wear it, which included it only working with one primer over all others I tried for all the botching reasons you experienced, Angie. It also required a specific application: dabbing with the cushion, then a THOROUGH blending with a brush. I liked the finish, but just way too much work, honestly. I'll stick with my L'oreal nude serum, TYVM! Thanks for the great content, Angie, this 57-year-old face appreciates your perspective so very much!
I love the Loreal too.
thank you for such a thorough comparison. Would you be willing to do a video just like this for the best drugstore fountain? I am a couple months shy of 60 and found your analysis so useful.
Thank you again!
Hi Angie, Love your reviews. I'm 67 years old and prefer the elf as well. That being said, I don't mind the Tir Tir, though I apply it with my BK 101 brush and a very light application. I don't like the applicator at all, it applies way too much for me. It certainly does stay all day as well. But I'd agree with you that the drier the skin, the better the elf would be.
This is my holy grail right now, I absolutely love this foundation. I was hoping you would do a test with it. Thank you!
Thank you so much for doing this review. I purchased the Tirtir foundation and hated it when using the sponge it comes with. Then I prepped my skin with a light moisturizer and used a very small amount on my BK beauty foundation brush. It looked great and really did last all day. I am 65 with lots texture and dryness. Just shows you that no matter how wonderful a product may be for some people it may not work for everyone. I love ELF products so can’t wait to try the new foundation. Thank you for this review Angie
I am a senior who has slight rosacea and pores. Require full coverage. I really like Tirtir and so was amazed at how flawless my face looked. Granted I only wear makeup less than 8 hours/day. I have applied slight amt translucent set powder on top to set certain areas. For me it was a win.
I'm with you. I'm 61 and the Tir Tir enhanced every bad thing about my skin and was crushed when it didn't work! It really drove home how time & age affects skin. It makes me feel a bit better when you, with better skin than me, still couldn't get it to work.
Haven't tried the elf foundation yet only because I've been wearing a powder foundation for the past few years due to oily skin woes. Excellent review as usual!!
Although I’m over so over the TirTir foundation reviews, I am happy to see that you reviewed it and what your thoughts on it were. I do rely on your opinion and that of a few other influencers I watch for honest reviews. Thanks for your thorough and honest review 🙂
Angie, I used the TIRTIR Mask Fit Tone Up Essence Tinted Moisturizer underneath the foundation and it applied much smoother. I also applied it in small amounts. For the sides of my nose, I bend the sponge in half to get into those deep areas. I add a light finishing powder and then used a setting spray to finish it off. Like another user, it does take trial and error. Thank you for all your wonderful reviews!
I am 53 and I had the same experience with the TirTir. It shows every pore and texture. Today was the first day that I wore it, so I am going to try one more time with applying less of it like some of the comments said. I LOVE the ELF Soft Glam Foundation. I apply it with my fingers. I tried it with a brush but I have found with my fingers works better for me. I LOVED this foundation from the first time I wore it.
I agree with you on the Tir Tir. I’m 55 and have the same skin issues as you, combo skin and large pools. Every time I ware it I can’t wait to wash it off! I’m definitely go to try the elf one next. Thank you for the honest reviews.
At 55 the Tir Tir looks like everything that I don't want in a foundation. Settling, pores, texture, and just an overall aging effect I'm trying to avoid. I've been very tempted to buy this, so thank you for this review!
Love your reviews. I’ve been very pleased with elf products so far. I appreciate it your honest and thorough reviews.
Will have to try the Elf foundation! For me nothing beats my Dior foundation. Thanks Angie for the foundation trials!
I absolutely love my Dior foundation!
Darling Angie, just me repeating what everyone else says! Your foundation reviews are *flawless* - so very appreciated! Thank you thank you 🙏🥰💝
Thanks so much for this, i used to wear loreal infallible foundation, the glowy one rather than the matte one and it has been looking cakey lately because my skin has changed. I will give the elf one a shot.
I am 71, and I bought Tir Tir and liked it. The first time I used a brush, I dotted my brush on my hand first, then applied it to my face. My husband even said he liked it.
I’ve been really enjoying the e.l.f. Soft Glam. I’m 60, with combination/dry skin (my driest areas are around the eyes and mouth, and I can get *slightly* oily on the forehead, otherwise, “normal”). I got a good shade match on my first try with shade 14 - Fair/Cool. It’s my new everyday foundation (and second favorite overall, after the NARS Sheer Glow). So happy with it! iI’m glad it got the Angie Seal of Approval!❤
Thanks Angie! This ELF foundation has been on my feed like crazy for a while now. After watching you here I just clicked your Amazon and got it. I guess our skin tone is similar bc got the same shade too. 😅 I do really like some of ELF products and their prices are SO good. Have a great Labor Day weekend. God Bless America!!❤😊
Your videos are spot on for mature women and I almost always agree with you. I tried a mini version of the TirTir and HATED, so mystified that it is so popular. I am testing the Elf and not bad but I have to say the Lisa Eldrige skin tint and her regular foundation are the winners for me. Thank you, your the best!
Even though my comment isn’t related to your video, so I don’t know if anyone cares, but I just wanted to thank you Angie for continuing to recommend Timeless Skincare. After all this time, I finally purchased several products during their last anniversary sale at 50% off and I really like them! Starting to see some nice results and I’m getting acclimated to the vitamin C. I used to hate the smell, but somehow I’m beginning to like it! I think because I’m seeing good results! Thanks again for all you do! ❤
I've been using the Elf Soft Glam Satin Foundation since it came out and really like it. Most of the time I just use tinted sunscreen because I don't like the look of makeup. The Elf one doesn't look like you have tons of makeup on which is great but it doesn't cover my imperfections totally. I'm 69 and have hyperpigmentation especially on my forehead. I don't have redness or enlarged pores but sunspots from years of sun. You are very very lucky to have perfect skin and your skin is perfect.
Thanks so much for this Angie! I'm 62 also and have wondered about the Tir Tir foundation. I absolutely love the Elf foundation! It's beautiful! I love the price too! Wondered try on and video!❤😊
So happy for your honest reviews. I agree it was too makeupie. I bought into the hype and was doing
I’m almost 64/yrs old, normal skin with fine lines. I’ve had great results from TirTir, but I use a beauty sponge, sometimes dry or damp. It looks more skin like and def not makeupy. I also used it with the Haruharu sun screen. I’m a fan. I got 2 more on sale a few months ago.
Have been using the Tir Tir for a couple months now. As soon as I saw you apply it I knew you were going to have problems with it. I did the same thing used way too much. After watching some other videos I saw that you have to just use a very minimal amount, works like a charm. Goes on great on my textured, dry 60-Year-old skin loves it.
I am so happy you did this video…I got influenced by the hype Tirtir got online that i decided to try it…after the first application I thought i applied incorrectly since it did not feel skin like at all for me…I have oily skin on my T-zone…so i decided to give it another go on another day…applied less, as everyone online says to do…unfortunately the result was the same…my skin was left blotchy and very shiny….so I am glad to see I am not the only one that is going to pass on this trend…I am 58 years old..so more mature skin…😊😊😊
I am so grateful for your honest reviews on “older, less than perfect skin”. I tried both of these products and didn’t like either of them on my 57 year old skin. I used multiple sunscreens as well and the result was the same. I think both of these products are better suited for younger skin. 😢
I did get "convinced" to buy the TirTir. Tried it 3 times with all the tips. It looked good from a distance - because of full coverage. Highlighted my pores and hot caught in texture and wrinkles. Handing off to my niece.
The Elf looks fabulous!
Thanks Angie! Super helpful as usual. I bought the Tir Tir foundation a couple of months ago, and had the same experience with it as you did. Just ordered the Elf foundation on amazon a couple of days ago, I am excited to try it!
I too am 62. Great experience with elf and for aging skin I prefer the silver TirTir
I found that the Elf compares in shade (light neutral) and wear to my Cle de Peau (020) Radiant Fluid Matte. I add just a tad of moisturizer to the Elf and they look and wear the same. I got this tip from The Pampered Wolf and her mother! Thanks Jan!
Absolutely love the Tir Tir, I use a dense brush and it comes out perfect every time. I have pores on my nose and I just tap, tap with my brush and they're gone.
This was a nice review! I really like your thorough reviews, especially of drugstore makeup. I’ve really been liking drugstore makeup lately - it seems less and less necessary to spend a lot on makeup to get a good quality product.
The ELF looked really nice on you. I've been eyeing it but was waiting to see if you did a review. So glad you did & now I think I'm ready to try it out! Thank you Angie!
Hi Angie… You need to tap the sponge into the TirTir only once, then work it into the sponge evenly on the back of the plastic lid before applying. Then you get a thinner, more even coat. I’m in my 50’s and it looks great.
Thank you for being brave to be genuine Angie. I’m progressively unsubscribing channels where the filters used make my poor eyes struggle to focus. Enough already with the deception. You’re gorgeous, and of all channels, I trust your opinion because I believe you speak with truth. Keep going!🙌🧡
Thank you for honest review. I really appreciate it with these viral products that come with so much hype.
So appreciate how you always "give it to us straight," Angie! I'm 68 and after seeing all the TirTir hype, I thought I might give it a try. Thank you for saving me the time and money!
I bought the ELF when it came out and it has been my every day since I got it. I switch back and forth with my Merrit stick foundation and love them both. I do
have dry skin with larger pores around my nose, texture around my mouth as well. The ELF works with all my fave sunscreens and cream products. My fave sunscreens are different from Angie’s because of my dry skin, but any foundation has to work with my sunscreen. Thanks for the review, I have been so tempted to buy the TirTir but I am just not sure😂
Loved this comparison, I have heard a lot about both of these but I trust you the most! Have a great weekend! 🍁🍂
Thanks! You too!
Excellent video thank you Angie . I can always trust you to give it like it is. I tried both and the elf is by far superior. The tir tir couldn't get a color match and then it was like a mask on my face and felt bad. The elf gives me a Dewey beautiful glow and looks great on camera again, thank you so much for being trusted resource!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for mentioning the scent - that can be a big turn off when you are sensitive to smells! I've been wanting to try the Tir Tir, but now that I know it has a strong smell, I will give it a pass. I have tried the elf one, but it didn't work as well for me as some other foundations I've tried. It may just be the wrong color though, so I might have to revisit in a different shade. Really appreciate how thorough and honest your reviews are!
Fabulous video, thank you. I've just purchased some E.L.F. make-up and I'm very impressed with their website. I'm looking forward to trying the products. xxx
Thank you Angie, I’ve been wanting to try the ELF Soft Glam foundation and I think you have given me enough info to make a purchase. The price point is very appealing. 😊
I was hoping to say that you loved it because I've been watching you for a while. I love the Tirtir, its quick application and long wear has me hooked. This is all I use when I travel for work. Tirtir stays put for 8+ hours of travel. In fact, I wore it for 15 hours once, and my skin looked like skin, but better. I was impressed.
I put the Tirtir on cleansed moisturized skin, set with a powder and then spray it afterwards with the Tula signature glow spray. I adjust whether I use moisturizer prior to application depending on whether I am headed to the South (warmer no need for a moisturizer, my skin will moisturize itself) or North (colder weather dictates the need for a light moisturizer).
I think you may have put on too much of the Tirtir. I will look at my skin more closely at the end of the day next time I use it. Now I'm curious.
Thanks for saving me from TirTir! Interested how you feel about the new Sephora Reveal the Real skin tint. Apologies if you've already done it but I'm pretty sure I've never missed a Hot N Flashy post on the last 5 years I've been following you.
Excellent video. Thank you for taking the hit for us...again! I tried the TirTir and ended up having to take it off immediately. Tried the Elf, and I like it.
Thank you for a real review on the tirtir for mature skin. I’d be interested in trying the Elf.
Thanks so much fir the review. I love the ELF Soft Glam on my mature skin. It looks beautiful in you. I love a medium finish too...I'm glad to avoid the Tir Tir!!😊
I purchased the TriTri and I love it! I have watched a couple of videos and the most important thing is not to apply to much. I live in South Texas and it is humid! I love this especially if I am in a hurry because it is quick. I have a liquid bronzer and have no problem with application. I do apply a small bit of powder and use a setting spray. I am 82 and I am very satisfied. If I had purchased the Elk first I probably would have stuck with it. Thanks for the testing as I always like to see how different ones work.
Hi Angie. Thank you for this video. I rushed to buy TirTir in the beginning of the summer, mainly because I'm always on the lookout for makeup that travels easily. I thought it was just "okay" and my combo skin didn't look so great at the end of the day. I am now going to try the Elf....I have every shade of their putty blushes and use them every day. The foundation that I love and wear when I want to step up my game, is the Dior Forever Matte.
Hi Jane, I'm with you on Dior Forever Matte! It's so beautiful but for everyday I prefer things like the Elf! If you try it, I hope you love it! 💜
Will definitely be trying the Elf! Thanks for the review!! 💜
Angie I tried the Tirtir and I agree with everything that you said. I was disappointed in it. I will always stick to elf. Thanks for doing this
Thanks for such a thorough report on the two foundations. I’ve been wanting to try the Elf foundation on my 78 year old skin & now I will, based on your recommendation. Thanks so much Angie.
I'm 74. Tir Tir was better at covering the sun damage spots on my cheeks than e. l.f. but it just looked awful on my textured skin. I only used the e.l.f. once. I don't remember now why I didn't like it. I will pull out and try the e.l.f again today using the sunscreen you used. Thanks for your review, Angie.
Thanks Angie. I just bought the elf foundation and it performs just as you said. Love it!
I'm 58 and for the TirTir but I use a regular sponge with it and I love it. I did not like the little pad or using a brush to apply it. I also love the Elf one too
I have seen a lot of people say this. They apply it either a regular beauty sponge and it looked better. I bought the ELF at the beginning of summer so I might try the TirTir when I am ready to buy a new foundation
@@Aimee-Gates I have dry skin with an oily t zone and I don't even powder anymore except around my nose. The elf is really good too I feel like it's more coverage than the TirTir
So I finally received my TirTir foundation order. I watched this video before it arrived and worried that I made a mistake buying it. I didn’t know it was even popular on Tiktok but wanted to try the Korean makeup. I’m happy to say I love it. I think the key is to make sure you apply a thin layer and spread it out. Putting on too much will make it look very makeup-y. I have dry skin and I didn’t experience cracking on my dry areas. I’ve worn it twice and it’s a new favorite. I only bought the smaller size to try it first. I bet it will last me a long time since a small amount goes a long way. It will definitely be great for traveling.
Angie I have been watching your channel for years and I absolutely love your videos!! You do such a thorough job at testing products that I have purchased most of my favorite products because of you. I am definitely going to try this foundation. At the age of 59 I struggle with many of the same skin issues. Unfortunately your holy grail foundation doesn’t work well with my skin but I keep trying your suggestions. And I do like some of your other foundations recommendations. Thank you again for all your hard work.
Same experience with TirTir. Wanted to love it but not for me. Thank you for your thorough reviews Angie!!
Hi Angie, I really appreciate all of the testing you do for us! Looks like the Elf foundation is the clear winner and even did great in hot weather outside 👍🌺
Yes! I really loved the Elf! Even in the heat & humidity!
I have the very same feelings about the TirTir foundation. I threw mine away. I’ll now try the Elf foundation. Thanks Angie!
I haven't tried the tir tir one, but i love the elf soft glam. Its very skinlike,it kind of remind me of the dior airflash, which i looooved.
I have used many brands of makeup and I always go back to Elf. I'm definitely going to try the Soft Glam
Thanks Angie great review on both foundations
I picked up the tir tir used it once it’s absolutely not worth the hipe
I also picked up elf in two shades a nice foundation & not to heavy on the skin thank you for your honest opinion see you soon ❤
Thanks for sharing!!
So happy you did this test! I bought it during Prime Days and barely tried it… probably wrong shade and too heavy fit my mature dry skin. I hear their is a newer one out that may look better.
I bought 4 of the ELF from the company to try to get a shade match. Still had to mix 2. I didn't like how it felt on my face and it didn't look like skin. Angie, I will try it again. I have been spoiled by Loreal hyaluronic serum foundation. 2-3 is good for summer and .5 to 1 is good for winter. Love how that goes on with fingers
I have had the same experiences with both the Tirtir and the Elf. Love the Elf, trashed the Tirtir. Thanks, Angie for your thorough review!
My pleasure!
Yes bring back foundation Friday👍😃
The Tir Tir did the same to me! I’m 67 and I think it’s more for younger people😉
Thank you so much for this, and for all your other well thought out reviews. Your closeup check ins at various times and in different types of light are super helpful. I have the Elf Soft Glam and love it! I’ve thought about trying the Tir Tir foundation, but if you can’t make it work, then there’s no way I can! (Similar age, skin type and tone).
Thanks for this. I was going to try the Tir Tir. But that cakey mask was enough for me.
