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'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
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.
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.
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....
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 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.
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’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 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 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 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.
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 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!
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!
It's wild how the same product reacts differently on different people. The Tirtir is a freaking DREAM for me. I use a LOT less than Angie did and I've found that it performs best with nothing underneath it (no primer or anything else). But again, that's just on MY skin. Your mileage may vary.
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 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.
I’m 54 with plenty of wrinkles, large pores and texture and I love the TirTir Foundation. But it does take some trial and error. I always use primer (Hourglass Vanish) which I think really helps. And instead of using the sponge that it comes with, I use the BK 106 brush and pounce it on areas that I want more coverage and buff it out in places that I don’t need the coverage. I think I got that recommendation from Nikki La Rose. That application makes it look much less cakey and much more natural. And after using the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish setting powder, it lasts forever. I also only invested in a mini version which made it easier to bite the bullet and try it because I was worried about shade match. I got lucky and got the right shade on the first try. But I only use the TirTir for special occasions because I prefer a light to medium coverage product for everyday.
I use a brush also and get a much motor natural look. I’m 64 with share of wrinkles and have had long wear with out settling. I really like this foundation. I also like the mini for my purse but I haven’t had to use it much
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 💕
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!
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 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!
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!!
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.
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 🙂
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'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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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. 😢
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.
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
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.
We’re the same age. I absolutely love the Tir Tir foundation. For me, skin prep was key. Robert Welsh has a great video on how to apply the foundation using the pad to get the best results. I followed his tips and had no issues. I didn’t find that there was a fragrance at all. The Elf looked way too shiny and greasy and I have combo/oily skin. Tir Tir is also the first foundation I haven’t had to mix two foundations to get a match. As a POC, Elf has never completely been a shade match for me, has always looked cakey, and has sometimes caused breakouts. To say that the only makeup not formulated specifically for melanated skin (i.e., Fashion Fair, Fenty, Black Radiance) that is a K-makeup brand has a shade I can wear is a big thing. Bye-Bye, Elf!
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.
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!❤
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.
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!
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😂
I'm 65. I am constantly getting compliments on my skin when I wear TIR TIR. I don't notice the fragrance. I find it very easy to travel with. Everyone has different issues with their skin. The sponge it comes with is not my favorite applicator and it does take some work to get into tight corners like around the nose. Once powdered, it does what I like out of a foundation. It provides a great base for the rest of my makeup. Haven't tried the Elf Soft Glam yet.
@@nelliepisani4348 I have pretty normal skin. Not usually dry. I find I need to powder the TIR TIR (but then I powder all foundations) . I can't say I recommend it for dry skin, but that doesn't mean it couldn't work for you. Sorry, I know that sounds a little vague...
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 have both of these foundations and have gone back and forth with both of them. I found that it is necessary to use very small amounts of the TirTir and pat it very thoroughly. That way, it is more like a light-medium coverage. (At first I used way too much and I had the same experience as Angie.) The Elf is simpler to apply and looks slightly more luminous than the TirTir. However, they look very similar on my 65-year-old skin. In the end, I like the Elf better because it is so easy to apply, and as a bonus, it is very inexpensive!
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!
Angie you are the only influencer I watch that sticks to the same morning and evening routine for the most part and of course your skin looks fabulous! Do you ever wonder about other products like dna repair or growth factors etc etc ? There so many products out there. I try not to get sucked in and buy everything I see but it’s hard.
I really let the research guide my skincare purchases and currently there really isn't any study showing growth factors/dna repair products actually work when used on actual human skin (as opposed to skin cells in a petri dish or mice)... for me they're just too expensive for me to be the guinnea pig...

I use a very tiny amount of the Tir Tir foundation and it goes a long way. And it looks great. I think that’s the key, at least for me.
Doggie shots!! 🐶💜🐾 I love the new e.l.f. foundation because it’s so easy apply and it looks great on my skin. When I’m in a hurry, I can add another thin layer under my eyes and it takes the place of the Lancôme concealer. Thanks for testing the TirTir foundation so that we don’t need to! 😁
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 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…😊😊😊
You are my go-to Angie. I follow all your friends and enjoy them too but when I want a thorough, honest review, I always go to you and have been for many years. Keep up the great work, Angie, please! Thank you!
I returned the Tir Tir. Impossible to find the right shade and couldn’t stand the application. Watery and flat finish. Took it right off and sent back. Great video!
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've been wanting to try the ELF foundation for a while and after this video I'm sold. I have melasma and probably should wear a full coverage but prefer the feel of a medium coverage foundation.
Thanks for saving me from purchasing the Tir Tir. I bought the Elf and did really like it. I got the 20 Light Cool. It proved to be an excellent match for me.
I must say, now that I’ve seen your experience (THANK YOU), this was EXACTLY my experience using the puffer applicator that came with the TirTir. I love the ELF Soft Glam so much better, but even prefer a more “serum” texture
I'm so glad you did this video! I'll be 60 in October and I've noticed a lot of dryness around the corners of my mouth too. What do you do to help with this? How do you cover it without it looking cakey? Thanks!
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!❤😊
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'm 60 and don't ever do anything close to full coverage. I use the Tir Tir in the pink case (not red). The trick is to use MUCH less than what Angie used in this review. It took me a long time to figure that out. Super light hand is the key to Tir Tir along with a primer (I have large pores). I'm on my 4th Tir Tir!
Same. The first time I tried the red Tir Tir I used way too much.The second time I used Tir Tir in the pink.used so much less. I got so many compliments on my skin which has never happened to me.
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!!❤😊
I purchased the Elf soft glam foundation a few weeks ago and it performs lovely over sunscreen and you really can’t beat the price. My skin at 65 will not look like glass.
Interesting! A case where the more expensive product is not necessarily the superior one. I must mention that with the elf product - at least to my eye - the left side of your face seems more to have more of a matte finish than the right which you used the setting powder later in the day. I personally prefer that's so that's good to know as well. Always a big thank you Angie!❤
Hi Angie, when I saw you apply the Tirtir foundation I knew it would bomb, you used about 4 times the amount I use. I have much older drier skin and it never looks cakey or uneven. I prep my skin with lots of moisture and SPF and it looks great. I tried the Elf and no matter how light handed I was, it always looked like makeup on my skin. You just never know!

It's wild how the same product reacts differently on different people. The Tirtir is a freaking DREAM for me. I use a LOT less than Angie did and I've found that it performs best with nothing underneath it (no primer or anything else). But again, that's just on MY skin. Your mileage may vary.
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.
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.
I’m 54 with plenty of wrinkles, large pores and texture and I love the TirTir Foundation. But it does take some trial and error. I always use primer (Hourglass Vanish) which I think really helps. And instead of using the sponge that it comes with, I use the BK 106 brush and pounce it on areas that I want more coverage and buff it out in places that I don’t need the coverage. I think I got that recommendation from Nikki La Rose. That application makes it look much less cakey and much more natural. And after using the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish setting powder, it lasts forever. I also only invested in a mini version which made it easier to bite the bullet and try it because I was worried about shade match. I got lucky and got the right shade on the first try. But I only use the TirTir for special occasions because I prefer a light to medium coverage product for everyday.
I use a brush also and get a much motor natural look. I’m 64 with share of wrinkles and have had long wear with out settling. I really like this foundation. I also like the mini for my purse but I haven’t had to use it much
With all of the extra provisions that you make to be able to wear it, I think I am convinced to skip it. Thanks for sharing!
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 too disliked the TirTir! I thought it was just me so I am thrilled to see it wasn’t a win for Angie. Thanks for all you do!
This is my holy grail right now, I absolutely love this foundation. I was hoping you would do a test with it. Thank you!
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!
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 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!
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!!
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.
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 🙂
Hi Angie, would you say that the Elf foundation is as good as the L'Oreal Perfect Match Foundation ? Thank you for your help.
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'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 really love this new elf foundation. I have quite dry skin and don’t even have to set it.
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 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.
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.
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.
Totally agree! Tirtir on my 59 year old skin was very drying, love the elf 🩷
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!🙌🧡
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😉
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!
Love your reviews. I’ve been very pleased with elf products so far. I appreciate it your honest and thorough reviews.
Angie, would love to know which setting sprays that you like most. Thank you!
I too am 62. Great experience with elf and for aging skin I prefer the silver TirTir
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. 😢
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.
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
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.
We’re the same age. I absolutely love the Tir Tir foundation. For me, skin prep was key. Robert Welsh has a great video on how to apply the foundation using the pad to get the best results. I followed his tips and had no issues. I didn’t find that there was a fragrance at all.
The Elf looked way too shiny and greasy and I have combo/oily skin. Tir Tir is also the first foundation I haven’t had to mix two foundations to get a match. As a POC, Elf has never completely been a shade match for me, has always looked cakey, and has sometimes caused breakouts.
To say that the only makeup not formulated specifically for melanated skin (i.e., Fashion Fair, Fenty, Black Radiance) that is a K-makeup brand has a shade I can wear is a big thing. Bye-Bye, Elf!
Wow. The Elf foundation looked beautiful💕😊
I'm 71 and bought the Elf foundation today. I loved it instantly and recommended it to my daughter.
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.
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!❤
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.
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!
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😂
Thank you for honest review. I really appreciate it with these viral products that come with so much hype.
I'm 65. I am constantly getting compliments on my skin when I wear TIR TIR. I don't notice the fragrance. I find it very easy to travel with. Everyone has different issues with their skin. The sponge it comes with is not my favorite applicator and it does take some work to get into tight corners like around the nose. Once powdered, it does what I like out of a foundation. It provides a great base for the rest of my makeup. Haven't tried the Elf Soft Glam yet.
I have tried the elf and love it I'm 65 as well I would like to use the TIR Tir but I have dry skin is it good for dry skin? Thank you
@@nelliepisani4348 I have pretty normal skin. Not usually dry. I find I need to powder the TIR TIR (but then I powder all foundations) . I can't say I recommend it for dry skin, but that doesn't mean it couldn't work for you. Sorry, I know that sounds a little vague...
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 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 both of these foundations and have gone back and forth with both of them. I found that it is necessary to use very small amounts of the TirTir and pat it very thoroughly. That way, it is more like a light-medium coverage. (At first I used way too much and I had the same experience as Angie.) The Elf is simpler to apply and looks slightly more luminous than the TirTir. However, they look very similar on my 65-year-old skin. In the end, I like the Elf better because it is so easy to apply, and as a bonus, it is very inexpensive!
Have you try the Dior Stick foundation? It's really good!
Angie is my make-up Angel! Thank you Angie.
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!
I have used many brands of makeup and I always go back to Elf. I'm definitely going to try the Soft Glam
Angie you are the only influencer I watch that sticks to the same morning and evening routine for the most part and of course your skin looks fabulous! Do you ever wonder about other products like dna repair or growth factors etc etc ? There so many products out there. I try not to get sucked in and buy everything I see but it’s hard.
I really let the research guide my skincare purchases and currently there really isn't any study showing growth factors/dna repair products actually work when used on actual human skin (as opposed to skin cells in a petri dish or mice)... for me they're just too expensive for me to be the guinnea pig...
I use a very tiny amount of the Tir Tir foundation and it goes a long way. And it looks great. I think that’s the key, at least for me.
Doggie shots!! 🐶💜🐾
I love the new e.l.f. foundation because it’s so easy apply and it looks great on my skin. When I’m in a hurry, I can add another thin layer under my eyes and it takes the place of the Lancôme concealer. Thanks for testing the TirTir foundation so that we don’t need to! 😁
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.
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
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…😊😊😊
You are my go-to Angie. I follow all your friends and enjoy them too but when I want a thorough, honest review, I always go to you and have been for many years. Keep up the great work, Angie, please! Thank you!
You're the best!
Can I second that?! She is always so honest, and that is a real trustworthy trait. Thank you, Angie. You're my go-to, also.
I just knew you would love the ELF foundation. I have been using it now for a month or so and I think it's amazing on my 78 yo skin.
I returned the Tir Tir. Impossible to find the right shade and couldn’t stand the application. Watery and flat finish. Took it right off and sent back. Great video!
Same here, I sent mine back too, and am never return makeup!
So happy for your honest reviews. I agree it was too makeupie. I bought into the hype and was doing
My mature skin really likes the elf, been using it this summer and it should really be good in the cooler weather.
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've been wanting to try the ELF foundation for a while and after this video I'm sold. I have melasma and probably should wear a full coverage but prefer the feel of a medium coverage foundation.
Thanks for saving me from purchasing the Tir Tir. I bought the Elf and did really like it. I got the 20 Light Cool. It proved to be an excellent match for me.
I must say, now that I’ve seen your experience (THANK YOU), this was EXACTLY my experience using the puffer applicator that came with the TirTir. I love the ELF Soft Glam so much better, but even prefer a more “serum” texture
I'm so glad you did this video! I'll be 60 in October and I've noticed a lot of dryness around the corners of my mouth too. What do you do to help with this? How do you cover it without it looking cakey? Thanks!
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!❤😊
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!
Same experience with TirTir. Wanted to love it but not for me. Thank you for your thorough reviews Angie!!
I'm 60 and don't ever do anything close to full coverage. I use the Tir Tir in the pink case (not red). The trick is to use MUCH less than what Angie used in this review. It took me a long time to figure that out. Super light hand is the key to Tir Tir along with a primer (I have large pores). I'm on my 4th Tir Tir!
Same. The first time I tried the red Tir Tir I used way too much.The second time I used Tir Tir in the pink.used so much less. I got so many compliments on my skin which has never happened to me.
@HotandFlashy You used way too much Tir Tir
What's the difference between the pink and red?
@@flaggov6949 red - satin finish; pink - matte finish; silver - dewy finish. Only red has 40 shades though.
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!!❤😊
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!
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!
I purchased the Elf soft glam foundation a few weeks ago and it performs lovely over sunscreen and you really can’t beat the price. My skin at 65 will not look like glass.
Interesting! A case where the more expensive product is not necessarily the superior one. I must mention that with the elf product - at least to my eye - the left side of your face seems more to have more of a matte finish than the right which you used the setting powder later in the day. I personally prefer that's so that's good to know as well. Always a big thank you Angie!❤
What’s awesome is we are the same skin tone so I always get the same shade you do ❤
I too tried the tir tir and loved it. I'm 53 and really love how it looks. I can't say anything about the elf though.
Hi Angie, when I saw you apply the Tirtir foundation I knew it would bomb, you used about 4 times the amount I use. I have much older drier skin and it never looks cakey or uneven. I prep my skin with lots of moisture and SPF and it looks great. I tried the Elf and no matter how light handed I was, it always looked like makeup on my skin. You just never know!
Exactly, she applied WAYYYYYY too much! 🥺
