As someone who did in fact buy the Fenty foundation stick after watching your video - please do not feel bad! We are all consumers and we are in charge of our own purchases. I love how you do your reviews, you are so incredibly thorough and you really care. You could not have known that your opinion would change, and you show a lot of integrity actually admitting it. You are amazing. Don't beat yourself up about this! :)
I just LOVE your transparency and GUTS to publicly change your opinion based on your experience. I trust you even more for that, even if I'm still all about that Fenty tint stick!!!
I wanted to like this because I prefer drugstore price points for cosmetics and saw several recommendations on YT. I also like tinted sunscreens or moisturizers over high coverage foundations as I'm older with dry to combo skin and think lighter coverage looks more natural on me. I thought this was thick and mask like and not hydrating at all. Both the light and light medium shades looked orangey. I'm glad it works for some people. Maybe I will try different skin prep or mixing with other foundation to adjust the shades.
PSA for everyone who may be panic buying/stocking up on the Tom Ford Traceless Stick Foundation (me): please make sure to check your batch number when you receive your product! I followed the advice of another consumer on Sephora who shared this information and received an expired product as well as several others! The batch number is on the bottom of your foundation stick. I checked mine and thankfully it was only manufactured last year and has a 36 month shelf life but just please be careful ladies and gents! I recently bought the foundation for the first time when i first saw that it was half off and then bought another one as a back up so i really hope it's not being discontinued or reformulated!
The glossier skin tint is my fav for mixing into my other foundations!! I love it for making more sheer foundations, I like the glow it gives on my dry skin. On its own it’s basically nothing but for mixing?? I love!!
This year I was obsessed with Haus Labs Triclone foundation. The color match was perfect 👍🏾 The way it wears all day/night on my skin(Normal to dry). Honorable mentions-Dior Backstage, Danessa Myricks skin tint & balm and the OG MAC serum foundation are in heavy rotation for me😁
Morgan, you were born for this job! You are SO good at this. Every video you make gets me engaged and your recommendations are always spot on! 👏 p.s. Will you be reviewing the Natasha Denona my dream mini collection? Can’t wait!
I love that Tom ford foundation stick and I’m 69! Beautiful coverage. Also love Hourglass Ambient and Merit stick foundation. Haus labs is not bad but just ok.
The YSL really was a game changer for my oily skin. I love it for daily use. It def looks like I'm wearing makeup, but it is perfecting, not cakey at all despite the coverage level, and I'm all for that!
I want to buy this based on an individual sample but I’ve made so many purchases I regret this year. I have enough makeup to be a reviewer but haven’t worn half of it. Repeating to myself “You are not Morgan Turner…”
Skin type makes all the difference. The YSL works amazing for my normal to oily t-zone, late 40’s skin. It’s my favorite of the year. It looks natural, it’s long lasting and the best part is the shade.
I have dry skin and I love the YSL All hours and the new KVD Good Apple Foundation. If I pay highend prices, I want full coverage. There are tons of great skin tints from the drugstore and Korean Beauty.
Danessa Myrick’s was doing a 12 days of Christmas sale and each day they offered a product for $12. I picked up three shades of the Yummy Skin Tint because it was such a bargain and I needed to meet the minimum for shipping. I love the Yummy Skin Blurring Balm powder so will try these together. And I also love the Glossier liquid foundation.
I look forward to your uploads. I think you are wonderful. I appreciate you honesty. Very candid. You save me money. I have normal to drier, tight feeling skin. So I say dry. What I don't like is some of the negative and sarcastic comments left by subscribers. I could never do that. But hey thats just me
I have very oily skin and I live in LA so I love the ysl foundation for the extra SPF when even my winter is sunny AF 🙃 I agree that not as easy to blend, I apply with my finger and spread it around one section and then use a sponge to blend it out. I also use the tatcha powder on my T zone. I don't find it to be too drying on my skin.
Thank you for the videos! The worst foundation for me this year was the KVD Good Apple Serum foundation. That foundation was AWFUL. I tried to use it so many different ways but it just did not work for me. The best one I tried this year was hands down the Clinque Even Better Cliniclal Serum foundation. That one completely changed the game for me.
I am in the minority when i say I prefer full coverage matte or semi matte finishes, BUT I am 66 years old. While my skin looks good with few lines due to religious skin care, I still have things that a full coverage will help with. I am also dry-like dragon scales. My favorite foundations are Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush, KVD Good Apple (even though it isn’t marketed for dry skin it is awesome), Juvia’s Place I Am Magic both the regular and matte formulas, and Nars soft matte. I don’t like glow or skin tints at my age.
I have combo, leaning oily skin. The foundation that I fell in love with is the new Laura Mercier! It's incredible! 🩷 The worst foundation of the year was the Sephora Collection Best Skin Ever, it was drying, it caked, it cracked, it was hideous!! 😕
Similar to many of the comments here-I absolutely love the Fenty Blur stick. It works really well on my skin and when blended out, you can barely tell I’m wearing anything at all. I will say-it takes VERY little to go a long way and sheers out. You never know how something may work for your skin type.
I adore the Fenty stick and cannot wear the Tom Ford. I am a 55 year old grandmother and the Fenty still looks good on me after a 6 to 8 hour day. The Tom Ford looks cakey after 30 minutes of application. I have tried more skin prep, primer, no primer and have no success with Tom Ford. I am happy I caught the sale at $45 at Nordstrom😂
I have mature skin. My skin is dry and very sensitive. I've started having an issue with dark spots this year. The worst for me was Loreal Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation. It looks like I've put pancake makeup on! All bad...My new favorite is It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Illumination SPF 50+. This stuff performs in every way it claims. Looks very natural and covers my hyper pigmentation.
The wet n wild is the best! I’ve been a makeup artist for 20 years, and out of all my luxury products, it’s my personal fave on my skin. I hope they don’t discontinue it like they did their cushion foundation because that was my original fave.
I have been using Wet&Wild hidrated tint and is the best tint/foundation I have ever used. I have 3 high end foundations and I always reach out to Wet&Wild. Thanks Morgan
For me, I have normal to dry skin also that can be acne prone and sensitive. I'm also almost 35. I tried 2 foundations this year that didn't come out this year lol. The Elf Satin Finish foundation was soo great for me! I have even repurchased it. Great medium coverage and wear throughout the day. The Colourpop Pretty Fresh foundation was nice at first application but way too dewy through the day, especially in the humidity.
I have combo dry skin. The best foundations are Hourglass ambient soft glow was the best followed by haus labs, estee lauder double wear, nars light reflecting and shiseido synchro skin.
I also think it is fascinating how different products work on different people. I ❤️ the Glossier Foundation and the Keys Soulcare Skin Tint. I hated the L’Oréal Infallible.i trust your opinion so much, your picks always work for me.
I might be the only one in the world that have combination dry skin but prefer matte foundation, and the only one that doesn't accentuate my dry patches is the YSL All Hours, while the famous Giorgio Armani luminous silk went on me fine at first but started to show my dry spots through the day.
My Favourite foundation of this year is the Guerlain Parure Gold Skin Matte Foundation, I got mine in the shade 1N my skin type is combination between oily to dry skin it is also sensitive and prone to break out's, this is the best high end foundation that has wowed me, I am loving it so much! It would be superb if you would do a review on that one, I'm not sure if you have already. 😊
Love the Fenty stick but not their Eaze drop tint. Would never pay for Tom Ford. Not even sure it’s available in Australia. I’m 50 and love Revlon age defying 3X in true beige 65, LYS serum foundation in MN3, L’Oréal True match blendable in 4N and L’Oréal freshwear infallible in shade 220 sable sand. At least that’s what they’re called here but I know it’s different in other regions. The best affordable longwear foundation for drier skin is From Moira. They are improving their shade range these days. Just thought I’d give the Aussie/southern hemisphere medium skin tone viewers some information.
You are soooo correct about the Fenty stick foundation!!! I love having a foundation I can carry with me- it was ok at first but I figured out I hated it the day after it was returnable 😢.
I bought the Tom Ford foundation stick this year after your recommendation. Oh my goodness…what a game changer. It really is something I save for when I really want to be bougie. I absolutely love it.
I have normal to dry skin. My fav of this year were - Gucci cushion de beautè. It’s my favourite, it has great cool undertones, glowy finish, beautiful medium coverage and it melts into the skin. Definitely pricey but worth it. - Nars light reflecting -Givency prisme libre glow During the summer I prefer not to wear foundation but the Chanel Eau de Teint.
Your eyeshadow is really mesmerising. I just keep watching at it the entire video lol. It's like a neutral look but somehow you incorporated color in the most beautiful way.... it's just a touch. Like perfect. I don't really have a top 5 foundations. I do have mostly sensitive, dehydrated but combo skin (the overall face is dry, the zone is oily, but still dehydrated) that leans cool toned pink. Do note that I use a face cream and let it sink in any time I do my make-up (the lait-creme sensitive from embryolisse, only use a tiny bit to prevent pilling) 1: I just really like the soft glam filter fluid glow booster from catrice. For quick out of the door days, and I put it on with the applicator, then rub it softly onto my face with my fingers in circular motions. natural glow with some coverage. This is probably my most used ''sort of foundation''. 2: I use the Nyx can't stop won't stop for more coverage days, and when I want something more matte. 3: My ultimate favorite foundation is the loreal true match. It hits every tick for me. I loved it to pieces. Except...... - I didn't buy it after my first bottle, because the brand it's selling is not cruelty free and I found out that make-up could be non cruelty free made at a older age. But I prefer cruelty free products over anything else.
My skintype is combination. I love the Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. I will never use anything else! And I also loved the YSL All Hours Foundation.. I always prep with hydrating primer and Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Primer on the nose/pore area. The key is to not use too much foundation. It makes my skin look like porcelain. I dont use it daily, only on special occations.
I love the Hourglass skin tint and it’s the only foundation from hourglass that worked on my skin. I also love the Tom Ford Traceless stick foundation, I just bought a backup from Sephora for 50% (also picked up the soft matte foundation on the same discount, as I love this foundation. It’s my holy grail!).
Dior skin glow is my number one! But wish I could find a similar vibe that’s cruelty free. My skin breaks out with the Shea butter in the hourglass tint 😅
You got me to try the TF stick and … yeah. BEST, most natural, flattering ,BEAUTIFUL second skin foundation I’ve ever tried with THE most perfect shade match (Btw- I’m an older fan of yours. Double nickels this year but we have similar tastes. I’ve tried LOTS of foundations 😉) I found mine on the TF site when I first heard about sale/clearance and loved it so much I then ordered the soft matte foundation (also 50% off). It’s of course a different formula/finish/coverage- but I love that too! I’m glad to hear it’s not discontinued but being repackaged. I’m not so glad that that probably means it’ll cost even more $$$. Oh well, I’ll still repurchase forever! Merry Christmas Morgan!
I love the Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint, and it’s the only product of its kind that I have ever liked. It is also the only base Product that I prefer to apply with my fingers. It is very glowy, so that may put some people off, but I think it is flattering on my 54-year-old (normal/oily combinaton) skin. I also absolutely LOVE The Glossier Stretch Foundation. It is amazing and wears very well on me, for hours. It has a natural finish with a very subtle, barely detectable, understated glow that is beautiful. My only complaint about it is the shade range. I use Light 4 (light with pink undertones), which is just a tiny bit too light for me, but the next “light with pink undertones” shade (Medium 4) is WAY too dark. I wish they had a “Light-Medium 4” shade in between.
This year my favorite was purlisse BB cream and my worse was juvias place skin tint, it was just too thick and dry for my skin, I just bought the cover girl perfector essence foundation, I am excited to try it out, it has micro beads in it, kind of like the Chanel fresh water tint. My favorite foundation of all time is still Nars light reflecting foundation.
My favorites of the year were not new. Tower28 (had not liked initially and somehow it became my favorite trying to use it up) and Chantacaille just skin.
Hi Morgan, nice video. My Tom Ford shade is sold out everywhere, and until they reformulate it (fingers crossed), could you please give us a couple stick foundation alternatives that are pretty good?
Lol you’re awesome, Morgan, and I always love your reviews (even if I don’t always agree). Your husband’s video editing is also on point and hilarious at the right times. My fave foundation is the Makeup by Mario for glowy days and Makeup Forever HD for matte days. Sometimes I even mix them! My least favorite (unpopular opinion) is the Armani Luminous Silk, which everyone and their mom seems to love, but it looks so powdery on me! Anyway keep up the great reviews - PS I was a teacher too ❤
I recently moved to a new, colder and dryer climate (plus forced air heating) and have suffered the worst eczema outbreak of my life as a result, so have really been leaning on skin tints/tinted moisturizers since normal foundations, even high end ones that everyone loves, have just been too cakey. Anyway, my worst of the year is the Smashbox Halo Healthy Glow Tinted Moisturizer and the best one has been the Erborian CC Red Correct!
My oily skin holy grail in humid Orlando is Estée Lauder Double Wear in Ecru. A new love for me is the r.e.m. beauty foundation in Light 1N and Maybelline Super Stay Skin Tint (just hate the dropper!) in Shade 110!
I have dry,mature 40 year old skin. Lancome Renergie is #1. Also like Colour Pop pretty fresh tinted moisturizer, Revlon illuminate, Nars Light Reflecting.
I think a lot of people liked the Hourglass and Danessa Myricks ones. My favourite that I bought this year was the makeup forever powder foundation, and the Dr Jart Premium BB Cream with spf 50. I thought the REM beauty foundation was another fail this year
Sad to say, hated the Wet n Wild tinted moisturizer. Dry mature skin hates this - it clings to every pore and line and looks like a mask even when sheered out. Bought it twice to give it another shot and returned it both times.
Best for me 2023 have been nars skin tint Groenland and light reflecting foundation in Patagonia - also loved my hourglass skin tint shade 8, but i'm not sure shade 8 is my perfect shade. I also loved fenty liquid eaze drop shade 6, but I like that eazedrop cause i'm an OR nurse who has to wear a surgical mask on and off all day so I need whatever I wear to dry down fully and fenty really does that well. Even though you didn't end up liking the fenty stick -it seems ok to me! I haven't had any issues with it and I did get it cause of your glowing review LOL but don't feel bad cause I'm happy. The worst foundation I tried 2023 is hands down the jones road wtfoundation. Oh gosh. It was gloppy and heavy and powerfully pungent. My face even reacted a little bit to it. I couldn't wait to wash it off! I also got horribly matched in Sephora for a Dior Forever foundation that is a super deep warm shade when usually I get light medium neutral. I was trying to find a good shade to match for when I am using my self tanners LOL It is still a process!!!
I have the same skin type as you, and I HAVE TO mention Ilia serum whatever skintint (don't remember the whole name). Not because of the coverage but because my skin started looking FLAWLESS after a few weeks of using this. I had 3 different people, including my doctor, ask me if I'm a dermatologist or a cosmetologyst. Our conversations weren't even about skin. My doctor was checking my neck and looking down at my face when he asked me that. Mind you, I suffered from acne my whole life. I have texture and occasional breakouts. Having multiple ppl react to my skin like this is saying something. Whatever they put in that Ilia bottle, it works like magic. 😅
Hi Morgan, I wish you a wonderful 2024. I’ve been enjoying your videos this year. I have watched you for a while just not subscribed. I wanted to ask which foundation your prefer better the fenty or makeup forever powder foundation. Have a wonderful day.
On my combo skin, the Glossier stretch foundation turned into a pastey oil slick on me by mid-day which is really unusual for me. I was SO sad, I had to return it.
My best foundation this year is the Maybelline Super Stay 24H Skin Tint (oily skin) but i also love the tinted hydrator from wet and wild in the wintertime when my skin gets a little drier.
I do like wet n wild tinted moisturizer, but oddly enough, their lightest shade runs dark on me, and that's just when it's applied. It doesn't oxidize but I do wish they had some lighter shades. I guess I'm a 👻
It’s interesting how foundations can work for some and not for others. I love the Fenty Stick foundation.
Agreed!
Same! Best foundation I tried this year 😅
So do I!
Me to
I hate it 😂

The Glossier Stretch Foundation is my current. The formula is perfect for my combo skin and the coverage is “natural” and perfecting at the same time.
The bottle looked like she had the old version of the product
I want to buy this based on an individual sample but I’ve made so many purchases I regret this year. I have enough makeup to be a reviewer but haven’t worn half of it. Repeating to myself “You are not Morgan Turner…”
Skin type makes all the difference. The YSL works amazing for my normal to oily t-zone, late 40’s skin. It’s my favorite of the year. It looks natural, it’s long lasting and the best part is the shade.

The Hourglass Veil Tint is awesome.
Iove the Wet n Wild hydrator skin tint. I have mature skin and it's great on my skin
Danessa Myrick’s was doing a 12 days of Christmas sale and each day they offered a product for $12. I picked up three shades of the Yummy Skin Tint because it was such a bargain and I needed to meet the minimum for shipping. I love the Yummy Skin Blurring Balm powder so will try these together. And I also love the Glossier liquid foundation.

I love your eye look!!
I have been using Wet&Wild hidrated tint and is the best tint/foundation I have ever used. I have 3 high end foundations and I always reach out to Wet&Wild.

Morgan I have heard good things about Prada beauty can you please test their foundation and stuffs
I also think it is fascinating how different products work on different people. I ❤️ the Glossier Foundation and the Keys Soulcare Skin Tint. I hated the L’Oréal Infallible.i trust your opinion so much, your picks always work for me.
My best foundation of this year has definitely been the original fenty eaze drop skin tint!
Im a dry skin mature lady and I’ve loved the Haus Lab and stuck with it and repurchased it.
I might be the only one in the world that have combination dry skin but prefer matte foundation, and the only one that doesn't accentuate my dry patches is the YSL All Hours, while the famous Giorgio Armani luminous silk went on me fine at first but started to show my dry spots through the day.
I loveee your work! Merry Christmas from Brazil 💖✨
My Favourite foundation of this year is the Guerlain Parure Gold Skin Matte Foundation, I got mine in the shade 1N my skin type is combination between oily to dry skin it is also sensitive and prone to break out's, this is the best high end foundation that has wowed me, I am loving it so much! It would be superb if you would do a review on that one, I'm not sure if you have already. 😊
The last video you mentioned tomorrow ford, I sprinted to Niemans and got 1.4 and 1.5 they are so great!!!
Love the Fenty stick but not their Eaze drop tint. Would never pay for Tom Ford. Not even sure it’s available in Australia. I’m 50 and love Revlon age defying 3X in true beige 65, LYS serum foundation in MN3, L’Oréal True match blendable in 4N and L’Oréal freshwear infallible in shade 220 sable sand. At least that’s what they’re called here but I know it’s different in other regions. The best affordable longwear foundation for drier skin is From Moira. They are improving their shade range these days. Just thought I’d give the Aussie/southern hemisphere medium skin tone viewers some information.
Thanks for your opinions on these products!
You are soooo correct about the Fenty stick foundation!!! I love having a foundation I can carry with me- it was ok at first but I figured out I hated it the day after it was returnable 😢.
my best is and always will be mac face and body foundation. but right now I'm enjoying maybelline serum foundation ❤
Prada is discounted on selfridges, i knew you wanted to try it
I ordered mine since many people swear by it
Morgan-after all of these years, I still love your beauty review videos and have loved watching you grow & evolve. Hope you’re enjoying Spain❣️❣️🇪🇸🇪🇸
i love the laura mercier weightless foundation i wish people talked about it more (i have oily skin and it’s the only foundation that lasts on me)
omg absolutely obsessed with your eyeshadow in this video! what palette/shadow is it if you remember? love your videos btw
Your eye makeup looks GORGEOUS on your eyes!!! One of my faves on you
This is off topic but imma need you to look into Ensley Regien cosmetics. Their eyeshadow palettes look so amazing!!
I like the Danessa Myricks primer in the compact. It’s SO blurring. Not much coverage but if I want to look smooth, I love it!
I bought the Tom Ford foundation stick this year after your recommendation. Oh my goodness…what a game changer. It really is something I save for when I really want to be bougie. I absolutely love it.
I tried the Anastasia Beverly Hills luminous foundation and have been shocked by how much I love it. I also love the glossier foundation
I have normal to dry skin. My fav of this year were
- Gucci cushion de beautè. It’s my favourite, it has great cool undertones, glowy finish, beautiful medium coverage and it melts into the skin. Definitely pricey but worth it.
- Nars light reflecting
-Givency prisme libre glow
During the summer I prefer not to wear foundation but the Chanel Eau de Teint.
Normal to dry skin. Fenty skin stick is awesome, Haus Labs is now my holy grail.
Your eyeshadow is really mesmerising. I just keep watching at it the entire video lol. It's like a neutral look but somehow you incorporated color in the most beautiful way.... it's just a touch. Like perfect.

But I prefer cruelty free products over anything else.
my fave foundation is fiona stiles matte finish. i purchased 5 when she was going out of business.
Agree with number 1. I have never used a skin tint
For me the best foundation - I have combo leaning dry skin and I tried the Haus Labs and it was my favorite.
My skintype is combination. I love the Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. I will never use anything else! And I also loved the YSL All Hours Foundation.. I always prep with hydrating primer and Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Primer on the nose/pore area. The key is to not use too much foundation. It makes my skin look like porcelain. I dont use it daily, only on special occations.
Prada foundation over Chanel rosy light drops, game changing.
I love the Hourglass skin tint and it’s the only foundation from hourglass that worked on my skin.
I also love the Tom Ford Traceless stick foundation, I just bought a backup from Sephora for 50% (also picked up the soft matte foundation on the same discount, as I love this foundation. It’s my holy grail!).
Danessa myricks yummy skin foundation is sooo good. I have oily skin and I use the elf poreless primer with it. 10/10
Great review thanks Morgan happy New Year 🎉 everyone 💜🌻✌🏻
Please do a concealer version!
Best Revlon Colorstay - oldie, but a goodie
Also loved the Loreal Skin Tint!
I'm oily skin & living in dry SoCal!
Best Prada and Hourglass
Worst: Fenty sadly
I have bought the Tom Ford in Ivory and Natural many thanks I love it 🙋♀️🇬🇧
The Revlon colorstay is awesome too! I get the one for dry skin.
Dior skin glow is my number one! But wish I could find a similar vibe that’s cruelty free. My skin breaks out with the Shea butter in the hourglass tint 😅
My best of 2023 was the LYS Triple Fix serum foundation. I have more mature, normal skin. Thanks for the recommendations and warnings!
You got me to try the TF stick and … yeah. BEST, most natural, flattering ,BEAUTIFUL second skin foundation I’ve ever tried with THE most perfect shade match (Btw- I’m an older fan of yours. Double nickels this year but we have similar tastes. I’ve tried LOTS of foundations 😉) I found mine on the TF site when I first heard about sale/clearance and loved it so much I then ordered the soft matte foundation (also 50% off). It’s of course a different formula/finish/coverage- but I love that too!
I’m glad to hear it’s not discontinued but being repackaged. I’m not so glad that that probably means it’ll cost even more $$$. Oh well, I’ll still repurchase forever!
Merry Christmas Morgan!
I love the Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint, and it’s the only product of its kind that I have ever liked. It is also the only base Product that I prefer to apply with my fingers. It is very glowy, so that may put some people off, but I think it is flattering on my 54-year-old (normal/oily combinaton) skin. I also absolutely LOVE The Glossier Stretch Foundation. It is amazing and wears very well on me, for hours. It has a natural finish with a very subtle, barely detectable, understated glow that is beautiful. My only complaint about it is the shade range. I use Light 4 (light with pink undertones), which is just a tiny bit too light for me, but the next “light with pink undertones” shade (Medium 4) is WAY too dark. I wish they had a “Light-Medium 4” shade in between.
True about fenty stick! I returned mine.
This year my favorite was purlisse BB cream and my worse was juvias place skin tint, it was just too thick and dry for my skin, I just bought the cover girl perfector essence foundation, I am excited to try it out, it has micro beads in it, kind of like the Chanel fresh water tint. My favorite foundation of all time is still Nars light reflecting foundation.
My favorites of the year were not new. Tower28 (had not liked initially and somehow it became my favorite trying to use it up) and Chantacaille just skin.
Hi Morgan, nice video. My Tom Ford shade is sold out everywhere, and until they reformulate it (fingers crossed), could you please give us a couple stick foundation alternatives that are pretty good?
You are the first I've heard to not like the Fenty stick. That's a lot of people's top foundation launch of the year. I trust your judgment, tho! ❤
I've been forcing that YSL to work too. It's thick and creates texture.
Hope you had a good Christmas Morgan wishing you a happy new year may 2024 bring you happiness and good health 😊😊
Thank you!! You too!
I loved to use the tinted water to thin out my thicker more heavier foundations. 😊
Lol you’re awesome, Morgan, and I always love your reviews (even if I don’t always agree). Your husband’s video editing is also on point and hilarious at the right times. My fave foundation is the Makeup by Mario for glowy days and Makeup Forever HD for matte days. Sometimes I even mix them! My least favorite (unpopular opinion) is the Armani Luminous Silk, which everyone and their mom seems to love, but it looks so powdery on me! Anyway keep up the great reviews - PS I was a teacher too ❤
I recently moved to a new, colder and dryer climate (plus forced air heating) and have suffered the worst eczema outbreak of my life as a result, so have really been leaning on skin tints/tinted moisturizers since normal foundations, even high end ones that everyone loves, have just been too cakey. Anyway, my worst of the year is the Smashbox Halo Healthy Glow Tinted Moisturizer and the best one has been the Erborian CC Red Correct!
Nice video, Rimmel Kind & Free foundation is what is my fav one…quite enjoyed using it this year
My oily skin holy grail in humid Orlando is Estée Lauder Double Wear in Ecru. A new love for me is the r.e.m. beauty foundation in Light 1N and Maybelline Super Stay Skin Tint (just hate the dropper!) in Shade 110!
I have dry,mature 40 year old skin. Lancome Renergie is #1. Also like Colour Pop pretty fresh tinted moisturizer, Revlon illuminate, Nars Light Reflecting.
I think a lot of people liked the Hourglass and Danessa Myricks ones. My favourite that I bought this year was the makeup forever powder foundation, and the Dr Jart Premium BB Cream with spf 50. I thought the REM beauty foundation was another fail this year
Did you ever use the Dr Jart BB cream in the gold container? It was discontinued & wondered how they compared.
No I don't think they ever had my shade@@kerriesler9062
The revlon illuminance for me love your videos but i also live in Missouri
Sad to say, hated the Wet n Wild tinted moisturizer. Dry mature skin hates this - it clings to every pore and line and looks like a mask even when sheered out. Bought it twice to give it another shot and returned it both times.
Same, it looked terrible on me.
Maybe try more moisturizer under it. I'm very dry and I love this.
My fav was Haus Labs foundation, worst was the Glossier stretch.
Completely agree with the fenty stick foundation. At first I was like YASSSS 3 weeks later it went in the trash 😮😢
Best for me 2023 have been nars skin tint Groenland and light reflecting foundation in Patagonia - also loved my hourglass skin tint shade 8, but i'm not sure shade 8 is my perfect shade. I also loved fenty liquid eaze drop shade 6, but I like that eazedrop cause i'm an OR nurse who has to wear a surgical mask on and off all day so I need whatever I wear to dry down fully and fenty really does that well. Even though you didn't end up liking the fenty stick -it seems ok to me! I haven't had any issues with it and I did get it cause of your glowing review LOL but don't feel bad cause I'm happy. The worst foundation I tried 2023 is hands down the jones road wtfoundation. Oh gosh. It was gloppy and heavy and powerfully pungent. My face even reacted a little bit to it. I couldn't wait to wash it off! I also got horribly matched in Sephora for a Dior Forever foundation that is a super deep warm shade when usually I get light medium neutral. I was trying to find a good shade to match for when I am using my self tanners LOL It is still a process!!!
I have the same skin type as you, and I HAVE TO mention Ilia serum whatever skintint (don't remember the whole name). Not because of the coverage but because my skin started looking FLAWLESS after a few weeks of using this. I had 3 different people, including my doctor, ask me if I'm a dermatologist or a cosmetologyst. Our conversations weren't even about skin. My doctor was checking my neck and looking down at my face when he asked me that. Mind you, I suffered from acne my whole life. I have texture and occasional breakouts. Having multiple ppl react to my skin like this is saying something. Whatever they put in that Ilia bottle, it works like magic. 😅
Hi Morgan, I wish you a wonderful 2024. I’ve been enjoying your videos this year. I have watched you for a while just not subscribed. I wanted to ask which foundation your prefer better the fenty or makeup forever powder foundation. Have a wonderful day.
On my combo skin, the Glossier stretch foundation turned into a pastey oil slick on me by mid-day which is really unusual for me. I was SO sad, I had to return it.
My best foundation this year is the Maybelline Super Stay 24H Skin Tint (oily skin) but i also love the tinted hydrator from wet and wild in the wintertime when my skin gets a little drier.
I do like wet n wild tinted moisturizer, but oddly enough, their lightest shade runs dark on me, and that's just when it's applied. It doesn't oxidize but I do wish they had some lighter shades. I guess I'm a 👻
