Angie, you literally look better and more youthful and beautiful by the day. Fabulous videos, keep them up! You give such thorough honest reviews. A breath of fresh air! X
Shattered Dreams make up is just the icing on the cake (and of course you can wear make up if you want to! 😊) but there's so many amazing skin treatments out there you can try. Look at Angie before and now. She's an incredible advert for skin improvement! Go for it! 😊🖒
I appreciate that you're taking into account the effect of the sunscreen, because I think that can make a huge difference in how a foundation sits and wears. Thank you for trying the foundation with dif types of sunscreens.
I want to thank you so much for your reviews! I'm almost 40 and starting to see fine lines pigmentation problems the norm... your reviews have helped me with finding foundations that look natural and not pull out my flaws. The way you try on the foundations with so many applications, I'm so grateful Angie! Hope your day has been kind to you! Btw I adore the Chanel perfection lumiere makeup! Game changer for natural no makeup makeup look! I have to say it mixes quite well with my Tart rainforest of the sea. The tart lingers in my lines and the Chanel does not. When I mix them it's magic. Cheers my dear!
I was pleasantly surprised when I tried this foundation about 2 weeks ago and fell in luv. I'm 43 & pretty picky with foundations on my aging skin but, I luv'd how flawless it looked. Great video Angie.
You look so pretty in anything you put on, your eyes are so bright and I love your skin. I also love how you give us all the info below the video. So glad I stumbled upon you and hope in time my skin will look as good. Thanks for doing such through testing Angie :)
Denise D I know- Angie I've been a consistent fan for close to a year and you're most definitely looking younger. You look five years older in your videos from when you first started ...your eyes are much more hooded and your whole face just drooped more. Yes I know it's somewhat make up but I really think it's your skin care regimen. So I've been taking notes girlfriend LOL I take much better care of my skin because of you and I really do think it's improved quite a bit !
I agree Angie. I bought this foundation and used it with a regular primer, putting it all over my face with my fingers. Hated it. Used it again with a pore minimizing primer, and put it on the back of my hand and it worked much better. It smells horrible (we are painting rooms in our house and it DOES smell like paint!!). It does feel tacky and you are right, you have to watch what you use as far as blush, etc. as it does take the foundation off. I do feel for me it was better with a different primer and also instead of putting it on my face I used the back of my hand to apply it (no brush). Thanks for the review. Glad to see I wasn't the only one who had issues with it.
OMG I could not get past .18 seconds without remarking how amazing and young you look! Absolute best look ever-I dont know what it is but we need a tutorial on this look ASAP! Jeez Angie- you look 30!!!!!! As for the foundation-lots of great reviews on this but how can you put foundation on your skin if it smells like paint??? So many people complain of the smell, there has to be a horrible chemical in it that will irritate the skin????
Thanks Jill! The ingredient list on this one is actually pretty good. I think they just didn't add fragrance to cover up the natural scent of the pigments...
I've been wearing this for about two weeks now and omg; when you said "tacky" I nearly shouted "YES!" at my phone 😲. I use a bit of setting powder and a setting spray and that calms the tacky effect down quite a bit. Love your drugstore reviews; high end products really aren't an option for me right now so finding budget-friendly makeup is important. Thank you!
I just purchased this foundation last week and had mixed results with two different primers (I used the same sunscreen both times). The one that didn't do well at all for me was the Wet N Wild coverall primer. It made the finish a mess, to the point it felt like it was cracking by the four hour mark. It also made every single line show, always a no-no at our age. The other primer was the elf hydration primer, which seemed to work a little better, but it was sliding around by the end of the day. I'm going to try without primer to see how it works. I really want this one to work, because of all the rave reviews. Thanks for giving this one a go for us older gals :)
OMG I couldn't focus on the foundation cuz your eye makeup today is just so beautiful! I've been watching your videos for quite awhile and I believe this is the prettiest look I've ever seen! You are looking younger and younger!!!
I just found your channel 3 days ago and I've been binge watching you. I must say even though you cater to the "older crowd" you have the most REFRESHING and honest make up channel out there. I'm not near your age just yet but I'm completely over those other 'cool and young' RUclipsrs shoving down coupon codes down our throats and selling their souls to the devil for a PR package and hidden sponsorships, playing the 'relatable' card while marking millions by pushing shitty products, I'm so over them and unfollowed them all! You, on the other hand, do your research, and invest precious time into a detailed and REAL review, I'm honestly blown away by you. Such a beautiful, chic and classy lady. THANK YOU so much for your time and effort, and yes I would gladly use your referral links to support your channel in exchange of your honest reviews. You're wonderful, thank you💕
I agree with Carolyn's comment below. I haven't yet reached the Flashy Decade (although I've been having hot flushes for five years, since I was 41) and I'm so delighted I've got all your skincare recommendations, Angie, as I do think my skin is looking better on Vitamin C and Retinoid with twice weekly Retin-A. If I look as good as you do by my 48th birthday (I'm 47 next Thursday), I'll be so chuffed! I tell you what, though...just beginning with a Retinoid Serum and Cream has caused skin flaking, so I've eased back on using it am and pm. It's Vit C + Vit C Cream morning and then the Retinoids in the pm. That seems so be reducing the inflammation and flaking. Thanks for always being so thorough and easy to understand. I'm lucky to have found your channel 😘
I'm just popping in to say hello. I'm a new subscriber. I love love love this foundation. The, I think it's Shell Ivory that I chose, or Shell Beige, anyway it's a perfect match for me. One thing I love about this foundation is that it does NOT oxidize ! So rare for a drugstore foundation. It stays true to color all day. My other favorite is Loreal Infallible Pro Matte. I just wish both of these foundations came in a pump. I'm 40 now (and yes my pic is current) & am looking to follow RUclipsrs who are more in my age group. I'm so happy to find you !
I am 39yrs old and you are one of my favorite RUclipsrs.Yus sayin.Very Informative and majority applicable.Enjoy your objecive Reviews.Look esp gorgeous n this video.😊
I LOVE this foundation!! I'm 46, so I'm up there in age, I find it works well with my Lancôme moisturizer with added sunscreen. I didn't notice a smell. Love the videos!! Thanks for all you do for us older gals! 😘
Oh I tried this Angie, and this is NOT for people with really dry skin. It made my face feel so tight and dry I can't wear it at all. I, however am a person who has to put Marula oil all over before I even use makeup. My skin is sooo dry and I have been having trouble finding something that doesn't dry my skin out. Thanks Angie!
really love how thorough your videos are! you're helping me figure out which makeup I should try. I have a tight budget, so it's tough when I try something and it doesn't work for me, especially high end!
Hi Angie, I love this monochromatic look on you! The blush and lip color are so natural looking. So much better than pink cheeks and lips. Makes your eyes pop too! It's a keeper!
Hi everybody ;-) If you get this foundation, a tip is to buy the new Wet N Wild Photo Focus Pressed Powder (4,99) That is amazing - it melts into the foundation and you look flawless and it works well with other foundations also. Then you can put blush and bronzer on without problem. Okay I can´t speak for bronzer on stick. Wet N Wild have a very nice MegaCushion Contour/bronzer (5,99) :-)
I JUST bought this last night and haven't even had a chance to try it yet but since it's getting such amazing reviews and so inexpensive....I have to try!! It might be different on the face but when I did a swatch test on my hand, it didn't stay tacky at all. ALWAYS love your reviews Angie!
New subscriber here! Love that you channel focuses on us over 50 gals! My skin is sooooo dry. Wish there was a foundation that was moisturizing that didn't settle into my wrinkles....
I bought this foundation to try per the reviews on RUclips, and I must say I am impressed. love the staying power and the color selection were a hit. I was so impressed that I went and got a second bottle for $2.99 at Walgreens (that was an excellent buy). It does feel a little tacky when first applied, but with my dry skin the tackiness goes away, and I dont set it with a powder. I liked the way this foundation looked on you. Thank you for your honesty on all your reviews.
i agree so much with your opinion of the foundation. and yes it does smell like paint, but that goes away. it's soooooo good for something so affordable. great review! thanks for showing it in different lighting and trying different products with it. for me, setting it with translucent powder like RCMA no color powder works way better than my pressed powder. it stays on my skin, and for nose, I use an eyeshadow primer before I use foundation there. when I did that recently, it lasted my entire 10 hr, sweaty kitchen shift. I'm very impressed with this foundation and the overall finish. very lovely.
Wow, I went back to watch the last Foundation Friday and you are so right, it is so much better than the IT Confidence in a Compact. Just proves that just because it costs more, doesn't mean it is better. Thanks for another wonderful video.
Hi, Angie. I just wanted to let you know that because of your Friday foundation videos, I found that the Chanel foundation works best for my skin. It's great. I'm almost 60 and am half White, half Asian. The Beige 40 works best for me, in case there's anyone else matching my ethnicity reading this. Thanks for your hard work. It's much appreciated. I'm an Angie too, btw...
Yes Angie I agree it is the best drugstore foundation and better! I use the Golden Beige! I avoided trying it cause it said it was matte and all the youngens were wearing it. But then I tried it and have been wearing it every day! Oh and you really are looking more and more beautiful!! xoxoxoxox Hugs! CAROL
I've been wearing this and like it. It's one of the few I've tried that doesn't settle into my forehead wrinkle "map"! You are right about it being hard to blend products on top of it- I tried a new highlighter today and thought I had blended it sufficiently. When I got to work I saw it literally looked like a blocky streak of highlight- not blended at all! I'll be much more careful going forward.
I LOVE that you are so thorough and knowledgeable! You have saved me an incredible amount of money with your testing and comparison videos. Keep up the good work Angie-love you!
Finally someone (on RUclips) mentions the smell! I thought I was the only one. The couple of times I used it, I applied it with a brush and didn't like it as the day wore on. I will try a sponge. Thanks! 😀
Love how you do your videos. to the point with good detail. I bought this just before you posted this. I feel similar about it. And was surprisingly impressed. I'm actually playing and buying a lot of Wet N Wild products lately and like most of them. I am just so shocked I have went all these years mainly buying high end makeup when this line is really very good. Not just for younger women as I had thought.
This is my favorite foundation! I found it watching videos about Il Makiage (which does not work for me at all!) I'm 53 with fairly balanced skin. I find this has great coverage that lasts me all day. It looks very natural on my skin. The only issue I have had is when I used a cream blush, which you also mentioned as an issue in the video. If I use powders, no issues.
Hi Angie. I have found your sister or cousin on RUclips! LOL Seriously, every time I watch a video from Stephanie Marie I think you two must be related. She is just as articulate and thorough in her analyses of products as you are and she doesnt just rubber stamp every product that is sent to her. You two actually look quite a bit alike - both beautiful! Thanks again for another honest and informative review. Cheers!
Thx for this review, Angie. My daughter tried this and did not like it all all. She just gave it to me to try and, after this review, I'm looking forward to trying it. Tysm for all you do
I was actually doing my make up with this foundation (for the first time) as I watched you! Had I not known, I would have thought we were talking about two different products! Mine did not have any smell at all, was quite thin in consistency, and was a little darker than it appeared (I was using Shell Ivory). I applied with my fingers, over primer, and then bounced in with a Beauty Junkees sponge. It pilled a little, and dried down immediately to a very matte finish. Not loving the finish, but with a little ELF spray over the top is should be fine. Don't particularly care how long it lasts - but do care about how it looks! First impression - not for drier skin! The shade range is really good, don't like the applicator, but for anyone that wants to try it, CVS has buy one get 50% off the second on all Wet and Wild products today! FYI the one coat gel nail polish is excellent, with a nice choice of colors!
I love these videos! Thank you so much. You save all of us so much frustration and money. You have such a great channel! I have a suggestion for a video. It would be great to have someone explain about all the different brushes and their uses etc. I hear people talk about duo fiber, synthetic etc and they would or wouldn't use them for one thing or another. I don't really understand which is good for what and why. Help! Have a great weekend Angie! Xo
I really like this Wet N Wild foundation. Its $4.68 at Walmart! I think it looks really good and, wow, what a price! I had not even noticed the smell, but when I watched your video, I checked it out. You are right--latex paint exactly. I tend to powder my whole face with IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores setting powder and then I put on blush. I guess by doing that, I avoided the issue of not being able to blend.
Im loving this foundation for two weeks now. It does smell exactly like latex paint but it goes away once it's down. I'm not experiencing that prolong tackiness that you're talking about but I do powder my face also afterwards. I do lay down a high adherent ordinary brand primer and I use a hydrating primer around my eyes first. I also layer a color correcting concealer in the corner of my eyes over this foundation as well. I find that that works OK but I cannot powder under my eyes in addition to having this down and the color correcting concealer it gets too cakey. I have combination skin leaning towards dry here in Maryland this time of year. This may not work for me in the summer where my combination skin tends to be oilier.
Your eyelashes look amazing Angie, is this Revitalash? I'm really impressed with your work and the research you do on ingredients, I've learned an amazing amount from you.
Angie, as always, love your makeup Fridays and have to say there is just something beautiful about the way you look today. Know there were some problems with the foundation but it really adds a gorgeous look. IMHO
I just turned 50, and just started using this product. I do have to set the foundation with powder and I also use powder blush. After 12 hrs, I am only slightly shiny, but it seems to hold up for me pretty well after a long day of work. I was using Sephora before I started this product.
Guuuuurl!!! Those eyes!! makeup or no, those hoods are lifting and lifting up, up and away!!!! fantastic! I'm looking into that microcurrent device!! Love your videos!! ❤❤❤ Thank you!
I had some of the same issues with this foundation. It was complicated I liked the finish but had trouble with anything I added looking like I had put too much blush and bronzer on lol I'm still on the fence will probably try a few more times before I decide. Thank you I love your reviews you are so informed and give great details especially for older skin thank You again ❤
I recently saw 3 RUclipsrs, Wayne Goss, Casey Holmes and Jackie something with an A do. They looked FLAWLESS. I'd love to see it on mature skin. They moisturized, primed, etc but then they put on a THIN layer of LOOSE powder. Then their foundation and concealer. Wayne made a point of saying several times to only put on more loose powder if you have oily skin. He set his under eyes and T zone. Then they applied the rest of their makeup. Flawless! Pores? Covered. Lines? Covered. AND they used less foundation. It was amazing, especially since we are always told NOT to put liquid over powder. I'd love to see how it works on more mature skin. Thanks!
Beth Hughes I'm also 42 and I use the RCMA powder before foundation (EL Double Wear is my fave) and I works great. I put the powder on with a damp beauty sponge.
Beth Hughes The only powder that worked for me out of my collection was the RCMA powder. I'm thinking it's because it's so fine compared to say Laura Mercier. I used my usual moisturizer, sunscreen and primer. I used a damp beauty sponge to apply then take a brush and sweep over it to knock off any extra. I also use the damp beauty doing to apply my It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores loose Powder after foundation. I haven't tried this technique yet with other foundations so maybe that makes a difference? Tomorrow I will try that. I really think a finely milled powder was key for me personally.
Wow I thought it dried down nicely when I used a beauty blender. No powder. I thought for under $5.00 (Walmart) it was pretty good. I didn't have any of the issues with it sliding or not playing well with other products. It looks nice on you!
Hi Angie, I noticed your wearing lipsense. I can wait to hear your thoughts on this lip product. I love the fact that it does not smear and the color lasts all day.
Thanks for this video. Your foundation reviews are so great and I look forward to seeing them. I have been searching for a foundation for a while now and I am not sure where to go as my skin is normal to dry. You also look fabulous.
I tried this and the "Paint smell" is so strong. I let it set a few min. then took my Bye-Bye pores pressed powder to set it. then added (powdered) blush. bronzer highlighter. It was moisturizing I liked it but also the E.L.F. photo foundation. All in all~~ I still reach for my "IT CC (liquid)cream foundation". As most everyone knows It has great anti-aging ingredients and mineral sunblock 50 in it. I need all good I can get at my age. That Wet N Wild just makes me feel like I'm putting chemical paint on my face~ I get headache. But I keep trying it hoping the smell will fade.
Love your Fri foundation videos! I don't think I could stand the smell, and OMG that it never really dries! Both are high on my own personal list of why I would NOT be able to wear it. I thank GOD for your foundation (and concealer) videos, your methodical and detail oriented reviews are MOST helpful! Oh, and Angie, I know you hear it from everyone, but DANG you look so WONDERFUL! Thank you for another great video :)
another fantastic review ☺ Tati has been raving about this foundation so I picked some up and just could not get over the chemical smell so back to the store it went. Hope you didn't get too much snow during the blizzard, we just got rain and howling winds with some minor coastal flooding....can't wait for summer! 🌞
I have been using this foundation and really like it! I use it with the Hard Candy Hydrating Primer spray and haven't had any problems, but my skin tends to be dry. Also, I haven't noticed any smell--and I'm usually picky about that. I think it looks smooth and wears well. Thanks for your review! I always love to hear what you think!
I just purchased this foundation. I like it quite a bit, but I have dry shin. I use a cream highlighters and contour and so far no issues with blending. I use a beauty blender for application of all liquid and cream products. I did notice a badly placed patch of powder contour was hard to correct. I buffed it in with some blush and it was fine. this is now my favorite drugstore foundation and the only wet n wild makeup I own.
I finally found this in my color and luuuuv it! I am 50, and it gives me a soft focus, blurring effect when I combine it with setting powder. Hard to not try it for the $4.87 price tag at Walmart. 😉
I love this foundation! I will apply and then use Laura Gellar balance and brighten powder and then IT bye bye pores powder over it and it looks great all day!! But I only use one spatula of it! A little goes a long way!
Angie, all the videos you have are 100%! Love the detail and explanation. Have you ever used or have a review on RoC face products? I'm looking for otc face products.
Another great video! You looked beautiful in this foundation and for 5.99 it just can't be beat. Thank you for your thorough reviews and dedication. Have a great weekend!
Thanks for reviewing this foundation. I have seen the younger girls use it and it is getting great reviews....but as we know foundation is tricky when you have mature skin..I thought it looked really pretty and flawless on you...have a great weekend..💋
I love this foundation..Like that it looks very natural and just evens out my skin..Blends very well with either a beauty blender or fingers..I haven't experienced the tacky feeling..I set it with Elf HD powder..Lasts all day..I paid under $5.00 at Walmart..
I really like this foundation and it makes you look stunning.You should wear it often .,I do notice that foundations come off my nose easily ( alergies) and coldness . Yes you are spot on about wearing different sun screens and bases with this but i still love it .So nice especialy for the price.Thank you for the vid , nice job ,i love that you show us with three days and different under products ...just beautiful .have a great day Angie!
Hi Angie, have you ever tried the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation? I only use that now, I have never found anything that I like more... I'm a professional make up artist so I use it on many different skin types and it always works! Plus it has a nice gentle fresh smell to it so it is very pleasant to use on myself or on other people...
Angie, I have also been testing this about two weeks since Tati'a review. I did not notice the tackiness as much but did find it breaks down a bit at the 9-10 hour mark and found it trick to work with concealers or creams as you suggested. and it definitely needs the right primer. It seems to work well with the ordinarily high spreadibility primer which BTW I really like- would love your review of it. It is moisturizing yet matte. Always enjoy your perspective and your reviews are usually super close to my experience. Thanks!
Another great review! You look particularly fresh in this video❤ love your hair too. I recently tried Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation spf 15. I immediately thought you might like it. Im getting the Skin Stick next to compare. Question: When do you use the HD loose powder vs the pressed powder? Im a mess w loose powder! Love that you introduced me to IT cosmetics. One of my HG now. Thank You. Have a great day.
Angie, you literally look better and more youthful and beautiful by the day. Fabulous videos, keep them up! You give such thorough honest reviews. A breath of fresh air! X
Carolyn Silver agreed! she looks great
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Carolyn Silver job i
Can we all agree: Angie rocks!

With drugstore make up becoming almost as expensive as high-end, I'm glad that wet and wild is keeping their price point where it should be.
Walgreens has new dewy version on sale 3.50 this week. My favorite perfect color match too. 😍
I appreciate that you're taking into account the effect of the sunscreen, because I think that can make a huge difference in how a foundation sits and wears. Thank you for trying the foundation with dif types of sunscreens.

What primer did you use to make it work better?

I think it looked really good on you and I know on myself, it looks a lot better on my skin than a lot of my high end foundations, which surprises me.
i love how serious u take ur review videos and go into detail with so much diff lighting :D
I just purchased this foundation last week and had mixed results with two different primers (I used the same sunscreen both times).

really love how thorough your videos are! you're helping me figure out which makeup I should try. I have a tight budget, so it's tough when I try something and it doesn't work for me, especially high end!
You look more and more AMAZING every time I watch your videos. I really liked the Wet & Wild foundation on you as well. 💜💙💚
Hi Angie, I love this monochromatic look on you! The blush and lip color are so natural looking. So much better than pink cheeks and lips. Makes your eyes pop too! It's a keeper!
Holy beauty ! You are the definition of flawless!!
Hi Angie, I always look forward to your videos....always so informative. I so love...love your make up in this video!!
Hi everybody ;-) If you get this foundation, a tip is to buy the new Wet N Wild Photo Focus Pressed Powder (4,99) That is amazing - it melts into the foundation and you look flawless and it works well with other foundations also. Then you can put blush and bronzer on without problem. Okay I can´t speak for bronzer on stick. Wet N Wild have a very nice MegaCushion Contour/bronzer (5,99) :-)
Powder for dry skin? Or setting spray?
I JUST bought this last night and haven't even had a chance to try it yet but since it's getting such amazing reviews and so inexpensive....I have to try!! It might be different on the face but when I did a swatch test on my hand, it didn't stay tacky at all. ALWAYS love your reviews Angie!
New subscriber here! Love that you channel focuses on us over 50 gals! My skin is sooooo dry. Wish there was a foundation that was moisturizing that didn't settle into my wrinkles....
OMG 😍😍😀😀😀😀 Angie this is the Video I was waiting to seeeee !!! Thank you so muchhhhh !! ❤
I bought this foundation to try per the reviews on RUclips, and I must say I am impressed. love the staying power and the color selection were a hit. I was so impressed that I went and got a second bottle for $2.99 at Walgreens (that was an excellent buy). It does feel a little tacky when first applied, but with my dry skin the tackiness goes away, and I dont set it with a powder. I liked the way this foundation looked on you. Thank you for your honesty on all your reviews.
i agree so much with your opinion of the foundation. and yes it does smell like paint, but that goes away. it's soooooo good for something so affordable. great review! thanks for showing it in different lighting and trying different products with it.
for me, setting it with translucent powder like RCMA no color powder works way better than my pressed powder. it stays on my skin, and for nose, I use an eyeshadow primer before I use foundation there. when I did that recently, it lasted my entire 10 hr, sweaty kitchen shift. I'm very impressed with this foundation and the overall finish. very lovely.
Wow, I went back to watch the last Foundation Friday and you are so right, it is so much better than the IT Confidence in a Compact. Just proves that just because it costs more, doesn't mean it is better. Thanks for another wonderful video.
You are the best reviewer of this product that I've watched so far! Thank you :)
I subscribed to your channel.
How could you fault such brilliant review. Angie you put so much effort into your work. Great job.xx
Thanks for offering us more mature ladies such thorough reviews and diligent searches for good products that work for us. I love your videos.
I'm 59 and have been using with no issues. I use a primer also and I don't have the tackiness issue. For the price it is pretty good!
Hi, Angie. I just wanted to let you know that because of your Friday foundation videos, I found that the Chanel foundation works best for my skin. It's great. I'm almost 60 and am half White, half Asian. The Beige 40 works best for me, in case there's anyone else matching my ethnicity reading this. Thanks for your hard work. It's much appreciated. I'm an Angie too, btw...
Yes Angie I agree it is the best drugstore foundation and better! I use the Golden Beige! I avoided trying it cause it said it was matte and all the youngens were wearing it. But then I tried it and have been wearing it every day! Oh and you really are looking more and more beautiful!! xoxoxoxox Hugs! CAROL
I've been wearing this and like it. It's one of the few I've tried that doesn't settle into my forehead wrinkle "map"! You are right about it being hard to blend products on top of it- I tried a new highlighter today and thought I had blended it sufficiently. When I got to work I saw it literally looked like a blocky streak of highlight- not blended at all! I'll be much more careful going forward.
I LOVE that you are so thorough and knowledgeable! You have saved me an incredible amount of money with your testing and comparison videos. Keep up the good work Angie-love you!
Finally someone (on RUclips) mentions the smell! I thought I was the only one. The couple of times I used it, I applied it with a brush and didn't like it as the day wore on. I will try a sponge. Thanks! 😀
Love how you do your videos. to the point with good detail. I bought this just before you posted this. I feel similar about it. And was surprisingly impressed. I'm actually playing and buying a lot of Wet N Wild products lately and like most of them. I am just so shocked I have went all these years mainly buying high end makeup when this line is really very good. Not just for younger women as I had thought.
Thanks Angie, I always look to your honest reviews before I buy.
This is my favorite foundation! I found it watching videos about Il Makiage (which does not work for me at all!) I'm 53 with fairly balanced skin. I find this has great coverage that lasts me all day. It looks very natural on my skin. The only issue I have had is when I used a cream blush, which you also mentioned as an issue in the video. If I use powders, no issues.
God,..with that price I too am surprised,..good of you to go thru all of that for us. You are perfect,..such beautiful skin and features!
Hi Angie. I have found your sister or cousin on RUclips! LOL Seriously, every time I watch a video from Stephanie Marie I think you two must be related. She is just as articulate and thorough in her analyses of products as you are and she doesnt just rubber stamp every product that is sent to her. You two actually look quite a bit alike - both beautiful!
Thanks again for another honest and informative review. Cheers!
Thx for this review, Angie. My daughter tried this and did not like it all all. She just gave it to me to try and, after this review, I'm looking forward to trying it. Tysm for all you do
I was actually doing my make up with this foundation (for the first time) as I watched you! Had I not known, I would have thought we were talking about two different products! Mine did not have any smell at all, was quite thin in consistency, and was a little darker than it appeared (I was using Shell Ivory).
I applied with my fingers, over primer, and then bounced in with a Beauty Junkees sponge. It pilled a little, and dried down immediately to a very matte finish. Not loving the finish, but with a little ELF spray over the top is should be fine. Don't particularly care how long it lasts - but do care about how it looks! First impression - not for drier skin! The shade range is really good, don't like the applicator, but for anyone that wants to try it, CVS has buy one get 50% off the second on all Wet and Wild products today! FYI the one coat gel nail polish is excellent, with a nice choice of colors!
I love these videos! Thank you so much. You save all of us so much frustration and money. You have such a great channel! I have a suggestion for a video. It would be great to have someone explain about all the different brushes and their uses etc. I hear people talk about duo fiber, synthetic etc and they would or wouldn't use them for one thing or another. I don't really understand which is good for what and why. Help! Have a great weekend Angie! Xo
Looks great on you! I have a teenage daughter and am always looking for "affordable" makeup for her!
I really like this Wet N Wild foundation. Its $4.68 at Walmart! I think it looks really good and, wow, what a price! I had not even noticed the smell, but when I watched your video, I checked it out. You are right--latex paint exactly. I tend to powder my whole face with IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores setting powder and then I put on blush. I guess by doing that, I avoided the issue of not being able to blend.
I enjoy this foundation and discovered that you do have to use setting powder to get rid of the tackiness. I didn't notice any smell
I always set my foundation with powder for any foundation.
Jennifer Ann Fox - So, you powder before foundation? Sorry, didn't get exactly what you meant.
Yes u have to set ladies..
Im loving this foundation for two weeks now. It does smell exactly like latex paint but it goes away once it's down. I'm not experiencing that prolong tackiness that you're talking about but I do powder my face also afterwards. I do lay down a high adherent ordinary brand primer and I use a hydrating primer around my eyes first. I also layer a color correcting concealer in the corner of my eyes over this foundation as well. I find that that works OK but I cannot powder under my eyes in addition to having this down and the color correcting concealer it gets too cakey. I have combination skin leaning towards dry here in Maryland this time of year. This may not work for me in the summer where my combination skin tends to be oilier.
I love this foundation on my 52 yr old skin. I do set my face with a light dusting of setting powder and have not had any problems.
Love the coverage it gives. $5 an amazing bargain
Your eyelashes look amazing Angie, is this Revitalash? I'm really impressed with your work and the research you do on ingredients, I've learned an amazing amount from you.
Thanks Angie for another great review! Your skin looks amazing by the way!
Angie you look incredible! So modern and youthful. Did you get hair extensions? Thanks for ALL you do to help us stay updated and look better!! 😀😀😀😀
Angie, as always, love your makeup Fridays and have to say there is just something beautiful about the way you look today. Know there were some problems with the foundation but it really adds a gorgeous look. IMHO
Angie, thank you for reviewing this foundation! You have the best reviews!! Love you and your videos!!
I agree with everything you said, sponge is better, it last all day and didn’t make my oils worse, it actually helped it.
I love your Foundation Friday series. I always watch it! :)
your makeup looks lovely today. love the blush/highlight/lip colour
I just turned 50, and just started using this product. I do have to set the foundation with powder and I also use powder blush. After 12 hrs, I am only slightly shiny, but it seems to hold up for me pretty well after a long day of work. I was using Sephora before I started this product.
Guuuuurl!!! Those eyes!! makeup or no, those hoods are lifting and lifting up, up and away!!!! fantastic! I'm looking into that microcurrent device!! Love your videos!! ❤❤❤ Thank you!
I had some of the same issues with this foundation. It was complicated I liked the finish but had trouble with anything I added looking like I had put too much blush and bronzer on lol I'm still on the fence will probably try a few more times before I decide. Thank you I love your reviews you are so informed and give great details especially for older skin thank You again ❤
I recently saw 3 RUclipsrs, Wayne Goss, Casey Holmes and Jackie something with an A do. They looked FLAWLESS. I'd love to see it on mature skin. They moisturized, primed, etc but then they put on a THIN layer of LOOSE powder. Then their foundation and concealer. Wayne made a point of saying several times to only put on more loose powder if you have oily skin. He set his under eyes and T zone. Then they applied the rest of their makeup. Flawless! Pores? Covered. Lines? Covered. AND they used less foundation. It was amazing, especially since we are always told NOT to put liquid over powder. I'd love to see how it works on more mature skin. Thanks!
Beth Hughes I'm 42..I love doing this and it is very blurring.
Beth Hughes I'm also 42 and I use the RCMA powder before foundation (EL Double Wear is my fave) and I works great. I put the powder on with a damp beauty sponge.
Beth Hughes I found it made my foundation super cakey. Any tips ladies? X
Beth Hughes The only powder that worked for me out of my collection was the RCMA powder. I'm thinking it's because it's so fine compared to say Laura Mercier. I used my usual moisturizer, sunscreen and primer. I used a damp beauty sponge to apply then take a brush and sweep over it to knock off any extra. I also use the damp beauty doing to apply my It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores loose Powder after foundation. I haven't tried this technique yet with other foundations so maybe that makes a difference? Tomorrow I will try that. I really think a finely milled powder was key for me personally.
Fiona Midgley that's what I'm afraid of. The videos I saw were all young! (Not that we aren't, but our skin needs are different !)
Wow I thought it dried down nicely when I used a beauty blender. No powder. I thought for under $5.00 (Walmart) it was pretty good. I didn't have any of the issues with it sliding or not playing well with other products. It looks nice on you!
Hi Angie, I noticed your wearing lipsense. I can wait to hear your thoughts on this lip product. I love the fact that it does not smear and the color lasts all day.
Thanks for this video. Your foundation reviews are so great and I look forward to seeing them. I have been searching for a foundation for a while now and I am not sure where to go as my skin is normal to dry. You also look fabulous.
I tried this and the "Paint smell" is so strong. I let it set a few min. then took my Bye-Bye pores pressed powder to set it. then added (powdered) blush. bronzer highlighter. It was moisturizing I liked it but also the E.L.F. photo foundation. All in all~~ I still reach for my "IT CC (liquid)cream foundation". As most everyone knows It has great anti-aging ingredients and mineral sunblock 50 in it. I need all good I can get at my age. That Wet N Wild just makes me feel like I'm putting chemical paint on my face~ I get headache. But I keep trying it hoping the smell will fade.
Love your Fri foundation videos! I don't think I could stand the smell, and OMG that it never really dries! Both are high on my own personal list of why I would NOT be able to wear it. I thank GOD for your foundation (and concealer) videos, your methodical and detail oriented reviews are MOST helpful! Oh, and Angie, I know you hear it from everyone, but DANG you look so WONDERFUL! Thank you for another great video :)
another fantastic review ☺ Tati has been raving about this foundation so I picked some up and just could not get over the chemical smell so back to the store it went. Hope you didn't get too much snow during the blizzard, we just got rain and howling winds with some minor coastal flooding....can't wait for summer! 🌞
I would love to hear your opinion on L'Oréal's Infallible Pro Glow foundation (not the matte). Thanks Angie - look forward to your videos every week.
I really like the Pro Glow but there's not a color match for me so I mix 2 together. The Wet n Wild looked better on my combo skin.
Thanks Angie - I'll try the Wet n Wild!

I have been using this foundation and really like it! I use it with the Hard Candy Hydrating Primer spray and haven't had any problems, but my skin tends to be dry. Also, I haven't noticed any smell--and I'm usually picky about that. I think it looks smooth and wears well. Thanks for your review! I always love to hear what you think!
I just purchased this foundation. I like it quite a bit, but I have dry shin. I use a cream highlighters and contour and so far no issues with blending. I use a beauty blender for application of all liquid and cream products.
I did notice a badly placed patch of powder contour was hard to correct. I buffed it in with some blush and it was fine. this is now my favorite drugstore foundation and the only wet n wild makeup I own.
I finally found this in my color and luuuuv it! I am 50, and it gives me a soft focus, blurring effect when I combine it with setting powder. Hard to not try it for the $4.87 price tag at Walmart. 😉
This foundation is BEAUTIFUL on you ! I am shocked how great it looks for 5.99. Just a gorgeous look.
I love this foundation! I will apply and then use Laura Gellar balance and brighten powder and then IT bye bye pores powder over it and it looks great all day!! But I only use one spatula of it! A little goes a long way!
Angie, all the videos you have are 100%! Love the detail and explanation. Have you ever used or have a review on RoC face products? I'm looking for otc face products.
Perfect timing for this video! I was going to buy it today. Thanks for your review!!!
Thanks for the review & thanks for showing in different light!! I appreciate your honesty as always! You look great!
Another great video! You looked beautiful in this foundation and for 5.99 it just can't be beat. Thank you for your thorough reviews and dedication. Have a great weekend!
Thanks for reviewing this foundation. I have seen the younger girls use it and it is getting great reviews....but as we know foundation is tricky when you have mature skin..I thought it looked really pretty and flawless on you...have a great weekend..💋
Thanks Susan, I hope you have a great weekend too! xo ~a.
I love this foundation..Like that it looks very natural and just evens out my skin..Blends very well with either a beauty blender or fingers..I haven't experienced the tacky feeling..I set it with Elf HD powder..Lasts all day..I paid under $5.00 at Walmart..
Your reviews are great/thank you!! Btw, that lip colour looks amazing on you!
I really like this foundation and it makes you look stunning.You should wear it often .,I do notice that foundations come off my nose easily ( alergies) and coldness . Yes you are spot on about wearing different sun screens and bases with this but i still love it .So nice especialy for the price.Thank you for the vid , nice job ,i love that you show us with three days and different under products ...just beautiful .have a great day Angie!
Hi Angie, have you ever tried the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation? I only use that now, I have never found anything that I like more... I'm a professional make up artist so I use it on many different skin types and it always works! Plus it has a nice gentle fresh smell to it so it is very pleasant to use on myself or on other people...
And the search continues!!! Thanks! Love your reviews!
:D
Angie, I have also been testing this about two weeks since Tati'a review. I did not notice the tackiness as much but did find it breaks down a bit at the 9-10 hour mark and found it trick to work with concealers or creams as you suggested. and it definitely needs the right primer. It seems to work well with the ordinarily high spreadibility primer which BTW I really like- would love your review of it. It is moisturizing yet matte. Always enjoy your perspective and your reviews are usually super close to my experience. Thanks!
I absolutely LOVE this foundation!! 50yr old here. Normal, not oily at all, type skin...
Angie, you looks so pretty in navy! Your hair style looks really pretty, too!
Another great review! You look particularly fresh in this video❤ love your hair too. I recently tried Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation spf 15. I immediately thought you might like it. Im getting the Skin Stick next to compare.
Question: When do you use the HD loose powder vs the pressed powder? Im a mess w loose powder! Love that you introduced me to IT cosmetics. One of my HG now. Thank You. Have a great day.
