I’m almost 38. my skin is really starting to change. I’m so happy I found your channel! These youtubers I’m their 20’s are doing a fantastic job at what they do but it’s not really realistic for me to go by their reviews. ❤️❤️❤️
I have dry skin & this is my new favorite! I moisturize, use a hydrating primer & setting spray. It lasts through a 12 hour shift of taking surgical masks on/off. That’s a first for me.
I agree. I am 56 with dry skin. As long as you moisturizer and use a primer then upply this makeup you're good to go. I've even went swimming with it on and it did NOT disappoint. Although I have dry skin I use the matte. It stays on longer and IF you do the above I mentioned then it won't settle into fine lines.
I tried this foundation for the first time today & since I have dry skin I followed Elle Leary's suggestion & added a drop of Smashbox Primer Oil. I actually like it so far. I'm 59 & I haven't tried a drug store foundation in probably 4 years but decided I'd give a few a try since I think formulas in all forms of makeup keeps getting better & better. The one thing I noticed right away was how fast & how much it oxidized but luckily I bought it in a little too light of a shade so the darkening didn't end up being a problem. I want to play with it some more with different application tools (I used a damp sponge today) & different primers (I didn't use one today) as well as some of my other beauty oils.
Your brief discussion about the photo test made me think of another comparison you might add to your reviews - side by side photos of the test foundation versus your holy grail. I think one of the best things about your channel in general is how in depth and thorough you are with all your reviews, and the close ups are the most helpful - a picture is truly worth a thousand words!! I love how you typically do reference your holy grail foundation(s) in the final thoughts, so it just came to mind that seeing the close up photo of your holy grail versus the test foundation at the end would be equally helpful. Thank you as always for the excellent info!!
I used this lightly with covergirl smooth primer. I have very textured skin ice pick marks and this foundation was amazing! Smoothed my skin made it looked it amazing!. I am 55 years old. I did not use it heavy. Just very light layer with a spong. There is a learning curve to this foundation. But once you nail it. It is one of the best foundations I have found for my skin. It is very high coverage so I only use a very thin layer. I don’t use it for a full coverage. This looked good on my skin for over 12 hours!!
I think I’ve watched every review ever made on this foundation and all of them contradict each other. (I’ve watched a lot of mature women’s review too) So many say it smoothes pores and does not stick to dry patches, others say it accentuated their pores, slides off, makes them oily and stick to dry patches. 😂 I’ve seen it looked remarkable on some and just awful on others. 😩Some say it will not work at all with a sponge and other say it only worked with a sponge. I’ve seen so many closeups of normal, dry and oily skin, some swear it will only work on normal/oily skin while others say it will be perfect for normal/dry skin. It’s just one of these foundations that you have to try and find out for yourself I guess. Three of my four go to trustworthy youtubers loved it, so I’ll try it out. I find that even if someone has mature skin, lines, pores, wrinkles and normal/dry skin, just like me, it happens that their misses are my holy grail and maybe it has to do with which climate/temperature we are in, or which serums and moisturizer we use underneath the foundation? Idk 🤔 Thank you once again for a great video! It’s always interesting to hear your opinions and you are so thorough in all your reviews, I like that! 😘
I agree as well. There are so many factors to consider. I think a lot has to do with your skin type and the products you use underneath and over top of the foundation.
I love Angie's foundation reviews because 1- she's one of the few oily combo "mature" gals out here, and 2- she does a realistic up close ZOOM! Everyone's makeup looks fab in the camera blurring distance. I absolutely agree that skincare and applications make a huge difference with base. And even skincare isn't universal because the good Lord finds it funny to make us all unique lol Great comment! Great post! I love foundation Fridays :-D
So true. When I moved from Texas to Idaho, my favorite foundation started looking terrible on my skin. Still on the lookout for my favorite Idaho foundation. 😆😆
Agreed-I like Angie am mature but have still got combo skin and still get spots even though I am post-menopause. I use Tret.but even the dryness caused by that is nothing compared to “real” dry skin. I find Angie’s reviews work for me as do her skin care routines. Some younger dermatologists preach simplicity which always fails miserably with my skin-I need the product layering.
So true! I’ve just bought a bottle and I’m not sure on whether I should return it. I’m curious to see how it works on my face but I know hat if I open it I can’t return it
This 24H Fresh Wear is the best foundation for me, far better than high end foundations such as Estée Lauder Double wear and even Sisley! I have normal skin (neither dry, nor oily). I apply it with my fingers and finish it with a beauty blender. It stays gorgeous all day. Love, love, love it!
Jeannette me too! I mix it with Lumi Glotion 902 and it is stunning. This stays put for 12 hours and I have had so many compliments on my skin this week since I’ve started wearing it.
Loved seeing how this wore for you. I bought this last week and think it's nice but it does make my skin look more textured than most other foundations, so not my favorite either. Great review as always Angie! xoxo
I love this foundation, I mix it with Lumi Glotion 902. It works extremely well for my normal to dry skin. No primer just put it on over my mineral sunscreen. No setting powder needed. Looks stunning for my 12hr days. I have received numerous compliments on my skin since starting to wear this. Absolutely stunning! Oh and I had professional pictures taken for business and even the photographer complimented me on my skin.
The foundation looks perfect on you from a distance. The selfie photo was flawless. Probably one of the most natural and youthful foundations I've ever seen you wear. No wonder your friend asked you what foundation you had on. Love the natural make -up look, too. The deep green sweater makes your eyes pop and look beautifully green. So pretty.
Angie, you saved me time and money again 👍🏼 I am frugal (my daughter says cheap) and I will only buy drugstore make up. Even with that I do not wear foundation because it takes me too much time to apply. I just started wearing sunblock since last year with Australian Gold tinted because it was not oily and did not burn my eyes, I mix with a couple of drops of NYX Pro Foundation Mixer medium to darken it a little bit ( my skin is medium-tan, Filipino so a little yellow toned). I had bought a few drugstore brands found a foundation which matched my skin. So I really admire how you look at 56 (I just turned 54)and what you do for us over 50 women and how thoroughly you do your videos. Thank you a lot😘
It never ceases to amaze me how people’s skin reacts so differently to foundations. Granted Angie and I are not the same skin type. She was getting a luminous finish. On my super dry, flaky skin this was immediately a flat matte and stayed that way all day. Even with TWO layers of moisturizer plus my Elta MD sunscreen underneath. Completely sucked all the moisture out of my skin. I was a red, flaky, hot mess by the end of the day. Epic fail. I might try it again in the summer when I’m not so dry but won’t be going near it for the rest of the winter. I really love your foundation reviews, Angie. So thorough and you’re able to describe how products might work on different skin types. Very helpful.
I LOVE your Foundation Fridays! Even when foundation is not a top 5. What I want to see... EVERYTHING CHARLOTTE TILBURY PLEASE!!! A real complete look, with swatches too, especially lips. I just want to see it all together on someone I trust (you) and are familiar with (you). Really though ANYTHING you want to show us I know I will enjoy, Angie! I LOVE YOUR CAT btw, what a beautiful fur pattern, and face to launch a thousand ships, so pretty. Thanks again for another great video!
Angie, I have this one and really like it! The Laura Mercier was hideous on me! Hideous! I think we are all different and unfortunately it’s trial and error! I love your videos! You are amazing! Have a great weekend!
I'm 30 years old and have been really paying more attention than ever to my skin especially my face and skincare also makeup which I stopped doing for 10 years ....and I love your channel and I love all your techniques reviews just all of it! Thank you sooo much for the way you do them♡
I am 54 and tried the L’Oréal fresh wear last week and received my first time multiple comments from coworkers about how great my skin looked lol. A winner for me. Very thorough review' Will subscribe to your channel.
I am 50 with dry skin and have serious issues with foundation wear and dryness. This foundation really works for me, but the primer choice makes a difference. I apply Marula oil on my dry spots first, then I find the Elf putty primer to work the best with this product. I found the same as you with the brush vs sponge application. It builds well, but the brush does make it have a heavier look. What impressed me is that it stays on my cheeks all day even though I rest my face in my hands all day. I love it.
firstly, you can't be over 45 max, you look amazing, secondly, i'm so happy i found your channel! super in depth, well delivered information, thank you so much
WOMAN!!! You're almost to 500K subscribers!! It's because you are THE BEST makeup reviewer on RUclips and not just in the +50 category. This is a great review. Thank you for spending all this time doing all the work for us!
I have used this foundation for a year. I love the wear. I use it with hard candy Matt primer. It works fine for my oily 67 year old mature, (no lines and wrinkles) thank the Lord,, skin. I get compliments on it all the time. I don’t think this foundation is for dry skin.
I had great results with this foundation when I used the Hourglass Mineral Veil primer all over my face and the Tarte Timeless Smoothing primer on my nose and either side of it where my pores are most visible. Alone or with other primers I did not love it but with the right primer combo for my skin I felt it looked great! I still saw a little bit of settling in fine lines but it wasn’t any worse than any of my other foundations. Thank you for the great review!
I bought this based on other reviews I watched. It wears on me just like it did on you. Your reviews are always spot on, so thorough. I should have waited for your review. Lesson learned! 😀
First of all, so sweet how that kitty cat visited in this video! Thought this foundation is lovely on Angie, and I really happy with this. Much smoother and better coverage for me than Estée Lauder Double Wear which for some reason which was too heavy and slightly cakey on me. I used with Rimmel Transparent face powder on the T-zone and think it's excellent. Testing after a few hours and it has been one of the best I've used in years.
As soon as you said it had a fragrance, I knew it wasn't for me. But, I love to watch your videos all the way thru for interesting tidbits you throw in. Especially like it when you include your animals! Such a cool looking cat - love her stripes. Thanks for doing these - you've taught me so much!
I'm SO glad I waited for your review before buying. The buzz on RUclips is how amazing this foundation is but I wanted to hear your verdict. Instead, I purchased the True Match and I'm LOVING it based on your recommendation Angie. Thank you!😊👍
First time here I love your reviews. I'm 49 years old so it's nice to see a review from someone older. I also enjoyed the different test very thorough review. I subscribed so thank you.
Angie, I am so glad you reviewed this foundation. I had seen this foundation reviewed by other people, but honestly, I only trust your in-depth testing. I appreciate your hard work and the time you put into giving these foundations a whirl. Thank you so much Angie!
I’m 65 and have dry skin now due to RetinA and this foundation worked for me, sorry it didn’t work for you.😘. Update, don’t know what happened but it looked awful today especially on my textured forehead, maybe it was the primer I used, will try it again tomorrow, will update again.
perfect timing with this review! I purchased this yesterday and will return it unopened. I trust my dry skin will not like this foundation based on your thorough wonderful review! Thank you!
Of course I should have waited for your review but I was in the drugstore and couldn't help myself. Your review is exactly what I would have said about this foundation. I found that it gave me polka dot issues on the area below the sides of my mouth and in the temple area. Not a big fan but I think it may work better in the summer when my skin is less dry. I have a very oily t zone in the summer and I am 62, crazy. Anyway next time I am waiting for your review!!! You are the only RUclipsr that gets it right for mature women and I can't thank you enough!
Angie! To you and your viewers: L’oreal Infalliable Fresh Wear operates with completely different numbers on the foundations in other parts of the world. Your 460 Golden Beige is 140 Golden beige here. I was puzzled by the high numbers you were referring to as 390 is ebony here. It can look like Europe have other numbers.
It retails for 21.99 in Canada. Ouch. I found that it really accentuated pores and texture. Disappointing. It’s felt very drying on my mature skin even with a drop of oil. The TruMatch foundation is nicer. Looks lovely on you on camera.
Angie you are truly the best and so beautiful. I am so glad I found you and your videos. I have been watching them forever. I am 58 years old and I suffer with wrinkles and terrible age and sun spots. But after watching so many videos I am confused with what would be the best way to cover them and what foundation to use. Your skin always looks flawless, no matter what foundation Friday videos I watched. What would you recommend I do to help me cover my age spots, but not cake on so much where my wrinkles are more prominent. I feel as though I have spent hours and so much money and still have not found the correct combination. I would love to hear from you with what would be the best way to go. Thank you so much for your time and help. Also thank you for all you do for the mature community. Sincerely, M.B. PS sorry I wrote so much
Hi Marybeth~ To cover age spots you're better off using a spot concealer rather than adding more foundation. Try using Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer with a small brush to conceal spots. xo ~angie
Thank you, thank you! Your thorough reviews on foundation really are a blessing! You take so much of the guesswork out of selecting new products. Keep on doing what you do, LOVE!!
I have combination skin. I get more oily in the warmer months. However, I found using a gel moisturizer works wonders. I love the Clinique gel dramatically different and moisture surge together. If I cant get it or don't want to spend that much I use the Neutrogena Hydro Boost cream gel!! It has made a huge difference with the oil control!!
Hi Angie!! Thanks so much for another great review!! I am not sure that I would even try this because of the fragrance alone. I will get a migraine with certain fragrances..especially if it is anywhere near my nose. The ONE thing I love about not working is worrying that someone will be wearing body lotion or spray that has a strong fragrance. I am so glad that there are so many fragrance free products now!! My one wish is that Bath and Body works would come out with a fragrance free body care line. I honestly can't believe they don't have a market for us scent sensitive peeps!! Thanks for the info on the Morphe spray!! Our town is building it's first Ulta and I am ecstatic!! Thanks again!! xo Gina S
Wow! I had completely different results with this one. I now. exclusively use this over my Lancome Tient Idole. I have mature, normal to dry skin, and if I'm moving, I'm sweaty. I wear this with Smashbox's Photo Finish Primer, and moisturize with Aveeno Ultra Calming daily moisturizer. This foundation is the ONLY one that does not transfer for me. I have literally never tried a foundation other than this L'Oreal Infallible 24HR wear, that didn't transfer. I'm in my 50's, so that's a lot of foundation. I blot sweat, or blow my nose a lot, and every time I do, there is no foundation on the tissue afterwards. It just goes to show that what works for one, may not work for another. Fortunately everyone can try anything and return it to CVS or Ulta if you don't like something you've bought at either one.
I really love your foundation reviews.. Thank you! Also, I think the phone test is a valid test. No matter if you have a phone up to your face or not it shows transfer. Thank you for bringing it back
Your reviews are so good!!! 3 day wear test is a great idea. I appreciate the HD close-ups so we can really see what it looks like. Thanks so much!! PD: You look lovely without makeup!
Thank you for sharing all your research and knowledge on skin care products ! Would you consider doing a series that addresses specific issues like “skin brightening” , “hyperpigmentation”, “sagging” etc.? Really appreciate your insight into ingredients and how you break it all down. Thanks again!
Angie, I love these reviews - very helpful. However, it's just occurring to me now that no one on youtube ever covers the thing I care about most in foundation: How difficult is the removal at the end of the day? I have large pores in my t-zone, and complete removal of the product is a daily grind - even with a meticulous, Clairsonic-aided 2-step cleanse. And I really notice that my success with removing product directly and quickly impacts the quality of my skin. Demonstrating removal is probably unnecessary, but I'd love to hear a brief word about the ease or difficulty of getting the foundation off, just to round out your excellent commentary. What do you think?
I think the phone test not on,y shows if the makeup will transfer onto the phone but more important your clothes (I have that problem with some makeup). I look forward to the Friday foundation review because you test it so many ways! I have seen a few reviews of the Hourglass foundation and not one of them was “good”. The last review I watched said you really have to work with it to make it work. That just isn’t what I want. Thanks 🙏
I bought this foundation in shade Vanilla and it's okay. The Estee Lauder Double Wear is still #1 with me at this time. By the way, the picture you took on your phone is beautiful! You photograph so well!
Thanks for reviewing this foundation Angie. With my large pores and older skin with wrinkles this will not be for me. Appreciate how thoroughly you test these foundations. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs .....Sherry
I purchased this last weekend and have worn it twice. I am 50 with combination skin. It instantly dries down on my skin, showing texture, pores and wrinkles.I've made sure I use a moisturizer so I'm hydrated when I apply it, but it looks terrible and is so uncomfortable on my skin. Maybe it's just not good for aging skin. I love the Physician's Formula Healthy Foundation. It has such a beautiful natural finish!
Well, I just bought this about an hour ago after watching all the reviews. I have the Clinique Even Better Refresh on half my face and this on the other half. The Clinique is not holding a candle to the L'Oreal in coverage or feel.
You get better looking as each day passes. I agree with you, the makeup looked very pretty in the beginning. Thank you for your review Angie. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. 💖
I have a love/hate relationship with this foundation. It doesn’t play well with many of my favorite primers and tends to flake and ball up. So sans primer for me. But then after several hours, I notice it cracks and makes my skin look like cracking plastic. The first several times I tried this, it was nearly perfect. So now I’m trying to find that magic recipe for that perfect finish again.
I love your videos. We are the exact same age my birthday is also in August 1962. I don’t know if it’s your lighting or your camera but your skin always looks flawless.
Angie, have you tried mixing three different foundation together ? I am older than you and I stared to struggle getting the best foundation for my skin. I mix two different foundations and a BB cream together. I mix enough for one week's use and make sure that they are completely different makes. I mix drug store and expensive together. I find it works a treat on mature skin. Xx
This is what I always do. Not one single foundation will work perfectly for all skin issues. I always mix matte and more dewy and then of course shades, because one shade will never fit perfectly to skin, either.
I'm 54 with dry skin. I mix a half pump IT CC cream with a half pump of Chanel Les Beiges Healthy glow foundation and a drop of The ordinary morrocan argan oil on the back of my hand everyday. That's what works for me. Glad I'm not the only one out there!
Perfect. A layer of BB cream and then a layer of foundation is too much. I used a bit of BB mixed in with the foundation this morning and ....thank you!
New subscriber & SO glad I came across your channel! ( I’ve been looking for you & didn’t even know it😉) I have been trying this foundation for several days now. The same as you, different moisturizers, primers, pore fillers, powders & same different applications. I really wanted to love this but I just can’t. You & I have the same skin type as well, so I am looking forward to watching your videos. Also, learning more about what products would be better for my age (40) than a lot of the products that I have now. Thank you!
Your skin!!!😱😱😱😍 WOW!!!! I am going back to look at skincare routine again!!!! I love your closeups and your reviews are so good! I have this foundation on my cart.. I am so happy you reviewed it!!!
Yay! I was waiting on your review on this, been looking at it but all the reviews I had seen before this one were from ladies MUCH younger than me lol. Nice to see an in depth review from someone who doesn't have perfect 20 year old skin 😊.
So glad that you did this video. I recently purchased this foundation but have not used it yet. It will be interesting to see if I have the same results as you on my older skin. Thanks! I look forward to your videos.
I'm 60 and that foundation is great on my skin I do not have many wrinkles yet! My mom did not get her wrinkles until she was 80! I hope I take after her! You have beautiful skin but one thing I want to mention it's not to offend you but your hands look older! My hands are not like that at all please take care of you hands it's very important! You look beautiful!😃
I love how thorough you are with these-thank you! I’m 37 w/dry skin, and I actually loved this one. But perhaps that has something to do with products used to prep, maybe-I used the smash box primerizer and a bit of the Tatcha silk canvas. (Although I didn’t do an outdoor check, ha ha, so for all I know it looked awful! 🙀) Will be trying the CYO Lifeproof now, for sure, since you and others recommend.
I’m almost 38. my skin is really starting to change. I’m so happy I found your channel! These youtubers I’m their 20’s are doing a fantastic job at what they do but it’s not really realistic for me to go by their reviews. ❤️❤️❤️
YOUR REVIEWS ARE THE MOST THOROUGH! THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DO THIS FOR US! Love you Angie 😘💋
I could not agree more!
I have dry skin & this is my new favorite! I moisturize, use a hydrating primer & setting spray. It lasts through a 12 hour shift of taking surgical masks on/off. That’s a first for me.
I agree. I am 56 with dry skin. As long as you moisturizer and use a primer then upply this makeup you're good to go. I've even went swimming with it on and it did NOT disappoint. Although I have dry skin I use the matte. It stays on longer and IF you do the above I mentioned then it won't settle into fine lines.
What primer do you use? I tried it today without primer and I didn't like it.
I so appreciate how in depth your reviews go! 💛💛
Thank you! It's the old "good from far, but far from good" situation.
I tried this foundation for the first time today & since I have dry skin I followed
Elle Leary's suggestion & added a drop of Smashbox Primer Oil. I actually like it so far. I'm 59 & I haven't tried a drug store foundation in probably 4 years but decided I'd give a few a try since I think formulas in all forms of makeup keeps getting better & better.

I love this foundation. It looks great on my oily, textured skin. It’s very smoothing and natural looking.

@@pattymax9106 I'll try it with Lumi Glotion. Thanks for the tip!
Do you think this is for oily skin?
Agree ! Loving this foundation. Thought it lovely on Angie too.
Loved seeing how this wore for you. I bought this last week and think it's nice but it does make my skin look more textured than most other foundations, so not my favorite either. Great review as always Angie! xoxo
I love this foundation. I think it wears differently with each primer so you need to play around to find your combo.
I love this foundation, I mix it with Lumi Glotion 902. It works extremely well for my normal to dry skin. No primer just put it on over my mineral sunscreen. No setting powder needed.

I'm 30 years old and have been really paying more attention than ever to my skin especially my face and skincare also makeup which I stopped doing for 10 years ....and I love your channel and I love all your techniques reviews just all of it! Thank you sooo much for the way you do them♡
I am 54 and tried the L’Oréal fresh wear last week and received my first time multiple comments from coworkers about how great my skin looked lol. A winner for me. Very thorough review' Will subscribe to your channel.
This was one of the most thorough foundation reviews I've seen!! I'm trying this foundation out today. You just got yourself a new subscriber :)
I am 50 with dry skin and have serious issues with foundation wear and dryness. This foundation really works for me, but the primer choice makes a difference. I apply Marula oil on my dry spots first, then I find the Elf putty primer to work the best with this product. I found the same as you with the brush vs sponge application. It builds well, but the brush does make it have a heavier look. What impressed me is that it stays on my cheeks all day even though I rest my face in my hands all day. I love it.
I'm so happy to hear it works for you!
firstly, you can't be over 45 max, you look amazing, secondly, i'm so happy i found your channel! super in depth, well delivered information, thank you so much
WOMAN!!! You're almost to 500K subscribers!! It's because you are THE BEST makeup reviewer on RUclips and not just in the +50 category. This is a great review. Thank you for spending all this time doing all the work for us!
Who would want to wear it 24 hrs? I get a lot of compliments, people think my skin is flawless and I have rosasia.
What a beautiful cat!
Thanks! She has the coolest stripes!
I love Catherine’s kitty video bombs! If I did videos, I know my ginger boy Rudy would bombing all of the time.
I have used this foundation for a year. I love the wear. I use it with hard candy Matt primer. It works fine for my oily 67 year old mature, (no lines and wrinkles) thank the Lord,, skin. I get compliments on it all the time.
I don’t think this foundation is for dry skin.
Deborah Allen this foundation has not even been out for 3 months 😂😂
I thought your texture looked smoother than usual with this one!.
My nose gets very oily with this one. Crossing my fingers for the L.Mercier!
I had great results with this foundation when I used the Hourglass Mineral Veil primer all over my face and the Tarte Timeless Smoothing primer on my nose and either side of it where my pores are most visible. Alone or with other primers I did not love it but with the right primer combo for my skin I felt it looked great! I still saw a little bit of settling in fine lines but it wasn’t any worse than any of my other foundations. Thank you for the great review!
I bought this based on other reviews I watched. It wears on me just like it did on you. Your reviews are always spot on, so thorough. I should have waited for your review. Lesson learned! 😀
I love how you list and remind us what your favorite foundations are and the other extensive list of what you’ve used. Really helpful.
First of all, so sweet how that kitty cat visited in this video!
Thought this foundation is lovely on Angie, and I really happy with this. Much smoother and better coverage for me than Estée Lauder Double Wear which for some reason which was too heavy and slightly cakey on me. I used with Rimmel Transparent face powder on the T-zone and think it's excellent. Testing after a few hours and it has been one of the best I've used in years.
I can't believe you're 56. You look amazing!
You give the best review! Very detailed and comprehensive! Keep it up!
As soon as you said it had a fragrance, I knew it wasn't for me. But, I love to watch your videos all the way thru for interesting tidbits you throw in. Especially like it when you include your animals! Such a cool looking cat - love her stripes. Thanks for doing these - you've taught me so much!
I'm 58 and been waiting for you to review this for us mature gals! So glad I didn't purchase this! Best reviews on everything as usual!
I'm SO glad I waited for your review before buying. The buzz on RUclips is how amazing this foundation is but I wanted to hear your verdict. Instead, I purchased the True Match and I'm LOVING it based on your recommendation Angie. Thank you!😊👍
First time here I love your reviews. I'm 49 years old so it's nice to see a review from someone older. I also enjoyed the different test very thorough review. I subscribed so thank you.
I had a similar outcome with this foundation. Looked great at first but then got shiny in the T-zone and dry on my temples later on in the day.
Angie, I am so glad you reviewed this foundation. I had seen this foundation reviewed by other people, but honestly, I only trust your in-depth testing. I appreciate your hard work and the time you put into giving these foundations a whirl. Thank you so much Angie!
I’m 65 and have dry skin now due to RetinA and this foundation worked for me, sorry it didn’t work for you.😘. Update, don’t know what happened but it looked awful today especially on my textured forehead, maybe it was the primer I used, will try it again tomorrow, will update again.
perfect timing with this review! I purchased this yesterday and will return it unopened. I trust my dry skin will not like this foundation based on your thorough wonderful review! Thank you!
Sideline ; that sweater looks incredible on you. Your eyes really pop. That green - love it on you!
You look wonderful in that shade of green!
Thank you so much for your channel. There aren’t many voices representing older women. Women that still love trying new styles, makeup, clothes etc.
Of course I should have waited for your review but I was in the drugstore and couldn't help myself. Your review is exactly what I would have said about this foundation. I found that it gave me polka dot issues on the area below the sides of my mouth and in the temple area. Not a big fan but I think it may work better in the summer when my skin is less dry. I have a very oily t zone in the summer and I am 62, crazy. Anyway next time I am waiting for your review!!! You are the only RUclipsr that gets it right for mature women and I can't thank you enough!
Angie! To you and your viewers: L’oreal Infalliable Fresh Wear operates with completely different numbers on the foundations in other parts of the world. Your 460 Golden Beige is 140 Golden beige here. I was puzzled by the high numbers you were referring to as 390 is ebony here. It can look like Europe have other numbers.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Really appreciate the honest review. I was going to pick it up but now I think I’ll save the funds for a better one.
Your redness has improved so much over the last four months. Pls share what you're doing!!
It retails for 21.99 in Canada. Ouch. I found that it really accentuated pores and texture. Disappointing. It’s felt very drying on my mature skin even with a drop of oil. The TruMatch foundation is nicer. Looks lovely on you on camera.
Rachel Ross I agree!
Same here i hate it so much
Angie you are truly the best and so beautiful. I am so glad I found you and your videos. I have been watching them forever. I am 58 years old and I suffer with wrinkles and terrible age and sun spots. But after watching so many videos I am confused with what would be the best way to cover them and what foundation to use. Your skin always looks flawless, no matter what foundation Friday videos I watched. What would you recommend I do to help me cover my age spots, but not cake on so much where my wrinkles are more prominent. I feel as though I have spent hours and so much money and still have not found the correct combination. I would love to hear from you with what would be the best way to go. Thank you so much for your time and help. Also thank you for all you do for the mature community. Sincerely, M.B.
PS sorry I wrote so much
Hi Marybeth~ To cover age spots you're better off using a spot concealer rather than adding more foundation. Try using Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer with a small brush to conceal spots. xo ~angie
Thanks Angie! It wasn't the same without the phone test, thank you for bringing it back! I'm looking forward to the Laura Mercier test.
I love that you share how it compares to your HG and the other top 5. Love your thorough reviews! 💕
Excellent review. More foundation Fridays please.
Had the exact same experience....looked fantastic at first then had tons of dry skin flakes later in the day 😳. Thank you for reviewing!!!
Thank you, thank you! Your thorough reviews on foundation really are a blessing! You take so much of the guesswork out of selecting new products. Keep on doing what you do, LOVE!!
Omg the kitty is absolutely gorgeous!!! Great review! So thankful you did this review , now I won't have to waste my time buying and returning.....lol
Angie you are so smart! The best reviews and tests on RUclips.
I have combination skin. I get more oily in the warmer months. However, I found using a gel moisturizer works wonders. I love the Clinique gel dramatically different and moisture surge together. If I cant get it or don't want to spend that much I use the Neutrogena Hydro Boost cream gel!! It has made a huge difference with the oil control!!
Please count my vote to continue doing the phone test. I'm curious about Algenist products. Love your content.
Love the kitchen and outside pics
Thank you so much for giving true reviews and REAL close ups! Most foundations I have tried accentuate my pores and your reviews are the best!
Hi Angie!! Thanks so much for another great review!! I am not sure that I would even try this because of the fragrance alone. I will get a migraine with certain fragrances..especially if it is anywhere near my nose. The ONE thing I love about not working is worrying that someone will be wearing body lotion or spray that has a strong fragrance. I am so glad that there are so many fragrance free products now!! My one wish is that Bath and Body works would come out with a fragrance free body care line. I honestly can't believe they don't have a market for us scent sensitive peeps!! Thanks for the info on the Morphe spray!! Our town is building it's first Ulta and I am ecstatic!! Thanks again!! xo Gina S
Wow! I had completely different results with this one. I now. exclusively use this over my Lancome Tient Idole. I have mature, normal to dry skin, and if I'm moving, I'm sweaty. I wear this with Smashbox's Photo Finish Primer, and moisturize with Aveeno Ultra Calming daily moisturizer. This foundation is the ONLY one that does not transfer for me. I have literally never tried a foundation other than this L'Oreal Infallible 24HR wear, that didn't transfer. I'm in my 50's, so that's a lot of foundation. I blot sweat, or blow my nose a lot, and every time I do, there is no foundation on the tissue afterwards. It just goes to show that what works for one, may not work for another. Fortunately everyone can try anything and return it to CVS or Ulta if you don't like something you've bought at either one.
I really love your foundation reviews.. Thank you! Also, I think the phone test is a valid test. No matter if you have a phone up to your face or not it shows transfer. Thank you for bringing it back
wow you look beautiful in this video , you really really suit the colour green , and your make up looked lovely x
Your reviews are so good!!! 3 day wear test is a great idea. I appreciate the HD close-ups so we can really see what it looks like. Thanks so much!! PD: You look lovely without makeup!
Thank you for sharing all your research and knowledge on skin care products ! Would you consider doing a series that addresses specific issues like “skin brightening” , “hyperpigmentation”, “sagging” etc.? Really appreciate your insight into ingredients and how you break it all down. Thanks again!
Thanks for the suggestion!
You are really pretty at 56. I'm 54. Pretty kitty too. I use true match and love it! Thanks for sharing!
Estee Lauder is tops for me..it seems to last all day and it is a medium to full coverage. LOVE IT!
Angie,
I love these reviews - very helpful. However, it's just occurring to me now that no one on youtube ever covers the thing I care about most in foundation: How difficult is the removal at the end of the day? I have large pores in my t-zone, and complete removal of the product is a daily grind - even with a meticulous, Clairsonic-aided 2-step cleanse. And I really notice that my success with removing product directly and quickly impacts the quality of my skin. Demonstrating removal is probably unnecessary, but I'd love to hear a brief word about the ease or difficulty of getting the foundation off, just to round out your excellent commentary. What do you think?
I think the phone test not on,y shows if the makeup will transfer onto the phone but more important your clothes (I have that problem with some makeup). I look forward to the Friday foundation review because you test it so many ways! I have seen a few reviews of the Hourglass foundation and not one of them was “good”. The last review I watched said you really have to work with it to make it work. That just isn’t what I want. Thanks 🙏
I bought this foundation in shade Vanilla and it's okay. The Estee Lauder Double Wear is still #1 with me at this time. By the way, the picture you took on your phone is beautiful! You photograph so well!
Thanks for reviewing this foundation Angie. With my large pores and older skin with wrinkles this will not be for me.
Appreciate how thoroughly you test these foundations. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs .....Sherry
I purchased this last weekend and have worn it twice. I am 50 with combination skin. It instantly dries down on my skin, showing texture, pores and wrinkles.I've made sure I use a moisturizer so I'm hydrated when I apply it, but it looks terrible and is so uncomfortable on my skin. Maybe it's just not good for aging skin. I love the Physician's Formula Healthy Foundation. It has such a beautiful natural finish!
Well, I just bought this about an hour ago after watching all the reviews. I have the Clinique Even Better Refresh on half my face and this on the other half. The Clinique is not holding a candle to the L'Oreal in coverage or feel.
You get better looking as each day passes. I agree with you, the makeup looked very pretty in the beginning. Thank you for your review Angie. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. 💖
Thanks Bev, hope you have a great weekend too!
I always trust your reviews.
This foundation is a success for me.
Wow, skin type really makes a difference. I have combo skin type and I love this foundation
Foundation Friday with my morning coffee!! Perfect a💖
I'm 35 & I doubt my skin will look that flawless at 50+ !🤞🏼🤞🏼
I have a love/hate relationship with this foundation. It doesn’t play well with many of my favorite primers and tends to flake and ball up. So sans primer for me. But then after several hours, I notice it cracks and makes my skin look like cracking plastic. The first several times I tried this, it was nearly perfect. So now I’m trying to find that magic recipe for that perfect finish again.
I love your videos. We are the exact same age my birthday is also in August 1962. I don’t know if it’s your lighting or your camera but your skin always looks flawless.
Angie, have you tried mixing three different foundation together ? I am older than you and I stared to struggle getting the best foundation for my skin. I mix two different foundations and a BB cream together. I mix enough for one week's use and make sure that they are completely different makes. I mix drug store and expensive together. I find it works a treat on mature skin. Xx
I should try that nothing looks good on my skin right now.
This is what I always do. Not one single foundation will work perfectly for all skin issues. I always mix matte and more dewy and then of course shades, because one shade will never fit perfectly to skin, either.
I'm 54 with dry skin. I mix a half pump IT CC cream with a half pump of Chanel Les Beiges Healthy glow foundation and a drop of The ordinary morrocan argan oil on the back of my hand everyday. That's what works for me. Glad I'm not the only one out there!
I mix Estée Lauder and nars radiant. Mixing is the best way to get awesome foundation.
Perfect. A layer of BB cream and then a layer of foundation is too much. I used a bit of BB mixed in with the foundation this morning and ....thank you!
New subscriber & SO glad I came across your channel! ( I’ve been looking for you & didn’t even know it😉) I have been trying this foundation for several days now. The same as you, different moisturizers, primers, pore fillers, powders & same different applications. I really wanted to love this but I just can’t. You & I have the same skin type as well, so I am looking forward to watching your videos. Also, learning more about what products would be better for my age (40) than a lot of the products that I have now. Thank you!
I loved this foundation when I used it with a pore filling primer and a nice setting powder. It’s in my top 3
I look so forward to all your videos! I appreciate how in depth you are and all the attention to detail.
Your skin!!!😱😱😱😍 WOW!!!! I am going back to look at skincare routine again!!!! I love your closeups and your reviews are so good! I have this foundation on my cart.. I am so happy you reviewed it!!!
Yay! I was waiting on your review on this, been looking at it but all the reviews I had seen before this one were from ladies MUCH younger than me lol. Nice to see an in depth review from someone who doesn't have perfect 20 year old skin 😊.
So glad that you did this video. I recently purchased this foundation but have not used it yet. It will be interesting to see if I have the same results as you on my older skin. Thanks! I look forward to your videos.
Thank you for showing us all the details! I love the close ups! Real life! Very helpful!!
I'm 60 and that foundation is great on my skin I do not have many wrinkles yet! My mom did not get her wrinkles until she was 80! I hope I take after her! You have beautiful skin but one thing I want to mention it's not to offend you but your hands look older! My hands are not like that at all please take care of you hands it's very important! You look beautiful!😃
This lady should be a scientist. She is super detail oriented and damn. Your skin is amazing 😍
I love how thorough you are with these-thank you! I’m 37 w/dry skin, and I actually loved this one. But perhaps that has something to do with products used to prep, maybe-I used the smash box primerizer and a bit of the Tatcha silk canvas. (Although I didn’t do an outdoor check, ha ha, so for all I know it looked awful! 🙀) Will be trying the CYO Lifeproof now, for sure, since you and others recommend.
Yes to the phone test!!!
Brilliant review Angie. So informative, and your videos are always fun to watch.
