This is amazing, and just what I need. The honest and clear opinion from a makeup artist and RUclipsr I have a 1000% faith in. The struggle of finding foundation in the drugstore can be so hopelessly horrible. You made my life ten times easier with this video
I have that! I love it but I've found it turns out different on different days :/ some days it makes me look really pale, others it's quite orange It's strange haha
+Jess Thomas I have found this too recently! Its the only foundation I've ever repurchased but lately I just look orange and patchy so going to try something else :(
This is the most helpful video I have ever watched. I have horribly dry skin and I am so thankful for the time and dedication you have for your viewers (whether they have dry or oily skin) and your channels. You clearly spent so much time personally reviewing these and I cannot thank you enough!
I hope someday you gals make a makeup line that has the BEST color range at a reasonable price. There is little love for very pale and dark men and women. ):
You can just know that if they did do it, they would make a professional line and not crap quality products as others have done to make a fast buck *ahem!
I agree with you. Although I think foundations have gone quite far. I am an olive skin tone and it was so difficult to find warm/yellow undertones in the drugstore. It was always too pink. I hope they would have more pale foundations because many foundations labeled "light" are not really all that light. Darker skinned people have also very limited options because companies forget that there is a cool toned dark, warm, red and neutral dark. Lol whoops sorry for the rant lol
Jennifer Vanessa Beauty products have become more and more popular as social media and RUclips have increased, so that definitely means makeup in general has come a long way. I'm happy there are more options for others nowadays, but there is still room for improvement, like you said.
The Revlon Colorstay for combo/oily skin is my favorite. It is nice and long wearing for our hot and humid Houston TX summers, and then in the dryer months, it goes on like a dream with a couple dots of moisturizer. They are also replacing the cap with a pump! I bought a new bottle a few weeks ago and it has a pump. I was so glad to see that!
Im extremely confused. The rimmel wake me up is the shiniest foundation i have ever come across so to hear it being describe as matte blows my mind. Also, i wouldnt say rimmel match perfection is full coverage at all! Buildable to medium but definitely not full. The rimmel lasting finish has way more coverage than the match perfection so i wouldnt say they are at all similar. But then what do i know...
+Brionyx Couldn't agree more! Match Perfection I generally have to build, whereas Lasting Finish I can just use one layer and I'm happy. As for Wake me Up - I look like I've jumped in glitter whenever I wear it - definitely not Matte!
I find the shade range in Wake Me Up runs a lot darker than the other Rimmel foundations too. I actually like the look of it inside, but I can't wear it when its sunny because its so glittery.
Definitely do a video on the concealers! This video was super helpful; I'd been searching for an affordable foundation for super dry skin, and now I know of one! You said most of the ones for dry skin have medium coverage, so knowing the best concealer to pair with the foundations would be even more helpful!
APPARENTLY Bourjois and Chanel makeup are manufactured together in the same factory in France and are very similar (if not the same)... food for thought! x
To anyone with oily skin, I wanna recommend Inglot HD Perfect coverup foundation and their mattifying loose powder!! It might not be drugstore, but it's cheaper than mac, Estée Lauder etc.. And it's soooo good if you struggle with oily skin. Excellent coverage. So if you have Inglot in your country, check it out! 💜💜💜
+Jenny Frisk I use Urban Decay De-slick compact for my oily skin & I absolutely love it best £19.50 I've ever spent, I also know this isn't drug store I've used many many drugstore brands & failed theres 2 things I do spend on which is liquid foundation & powder anything else I will use drugstore brands
Yessss! the concealer version would be very nice! Also a big thanks for making this kind of videos and testing everything. I use the bourjois healthy mix almost everyday and I really liked it, although I wouldn't say it's full coverage... xxx
so surprised about your thoughts on the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. I have dry skin like you, but i had to stop using Wake Me Up because it was way too shiny, and i LOVE dewy skin, but this one was borderline greasy. (bearing in mind that my skin normally drinks up foundations because of its dryness)
I found it hard glitter in mine!!!! And there was glitter in my friends one. It jut makes it look like a tacky shimmer glitter and it barely looks natural x
+Ella Lxuise yeah I think it has a glitter in it. I seen that too. and same problem, I have dry combination skin but I looked pretty shiny and oily after a few hours
+WIC009 nope my skin is definitely just dry. I think it's the micro glitter in it that makes it appear more shiny than it is, but still the "dewy-est" foundation i've ever used
I love the Bourjois CC cream as well just recently purchased and sure will be re purchasing over and over again! I agree with you on the rimmel 9 in 1 BB cream about separating!
Definitely, I bought the bourjois cc cream and she's rights it's great. If you want something light and your skin is normal/dry. We're lucky to have them in our make up world!
I have no loyalty when it comes to foundations so it's always so handy to get an idea of what would work with my skin. I'm oily and prone to breakouts so I have to be careful that I don't aggravate my skin :-/
Allison MacIntosh ah I am a Creature of habit but I'll always trust pixiwoos recommendations.aaah it most be tricky to choose products, if you haven't already check out Caroline hirons she gives the best skin advice ! xx
It's nice to just try different textures and something different sometimes. I can imagine that it would be a lot more to think about if you have those things to consider. Caroline has had Dr Sam bunting on her channel who is also lbrilliant, she is a dermatologist. Sali is great I love her too! X
It's quite frankly DISGUSTING that in this day and age there aren't more mainstream drugstore options for women (and men) of colour. Something needs to be done!!!!
+Hayley Longster well it's the same with very pale skin. Most "vanilla" or "ivory" shades look like a fucking bronzer on me..let alone matching it with even lighter neck lol.ridiculous I feel your pain!
+Hayley Longster I agree. There also aren't many options for people who are very pale. I think NYX has a new product called Pro Foundation Mixer in a few shades from white all the way up to a very deep brown. Other companies have similar products, but this is the first I've heard about from the drugstore.
The struggle is real for both pale and dark.... but I think the struggle is a bit *more* real for the dark skinned tbh 😉 I sometimes find it hard enough to find something affordable in the drugstore that suits me and I have very common (in my country - UK ) middle of the road light - medium skin. I dread to think what it's like for my friends who are dark skinned. -- you spend a fortune trying things when you can't return them. US ladies- you're very lucky!!
+Shelby Best Why funny? Sure there are plenty of light foundations but they often run too warm or too cool toned for a lot of people. For us who have more pigment in our skin it is either too pink/orange or too little yellow. And if they have the range, it is the wrong undertone. Yeah those in the "middle" have it easier than the rest of us lol. I know the body shop offers drops so you can just mix into your moisturizer or foundation which is great. Tho I haven't tried it myself.
+Rhiannon x I'm sure most people are sick of seeing negative Nancy's, like yourself. I cannot speak for everyone obviously, but I'd rather see a positive, nothing to do with the video comment than one like yours.
to everyone on this thread that stroppy mean cow has nothing better to to than type hate comments on everyone's videos and I recommend to not take notice of her
i really, really like this video! i think yours were the first make up tutorials i have ever watched and then i watched a 10101000100 more. Now i m back for good!!
So helpful, as you've gone through them all to compare.. its a minefield as you say.. and of course all the adverts and claims never help. Real life testing by a makeup artist with them all makes the best comparison. Thanks Nic x
+Katie Derrick No7 because they actually do a proper range of shades to match their foundations and not just light/medium/dark which never match anyone!
+Katie Derrick Try Maybelline Eraser Eye concealer. It's been around for years, I've used it for around 3 years myself and very buildable, covers dark under eye circles really well x
+pixiwoo It's not the same as the one you showed in the video, they have a matte version of the Fit me foundation that's not available in the Uk yet.. xx
Finally a video about drugstore foundations only! And thank god you actually were truthful that they're not all "full coverage" like too many people say! Thanks Nic!x
they really SHOULD do the same shades in all of their ranges, so for example Maybelline should do the same shades in their BB creams as they do in their mousse etc.
+bellaboopixi I think you're right, I tried a couple things a few years ago from mf (cousin brought see home from a trip) and I remember the products seemed a little different! But I didn't know as much as I do now so maybe I'm wrong haha.
What I love most about the Chapman girls is that they don't believe in beating around the bush or wasting peoples precious time. They get on video, film and only talk about what is relevant to the title of their video. They don't go on about inconsequential details about their day about how they chipped a nail doing their groceries or any other distractions. They're focused. This is the key to their success! Power to you ladies! ❤️
+Emma Lindvall I have dry skin and the only drugstore foundation I use now is the Rimmel match perfection one because it seems to be the only one that doesn't stick to my dry patches x
I really like rimmel match perfection (blue lid) I also have dry skin and find it hard to find a foundation with good coverage and doesnt cling to dry patches. This ones perfect x
Which fit me did you buy? The original in the US is the most dry skin friendly/skin like foundation I've ever tried. No matter what the price. I have eczema all over my face so I've got texture on texture. Trust me I know no foundation is perfect but if I apply the fit me in flat motions from forehead to chin and don't buff in circles it's foolproof.
I think the Wake me up foundation is NOT matte at all..... I used it and it was like it never seemed to set and remained like a greasy layer on my face... I hated it! I dont have particularly oily skin either. I gave it to my friend and she said the same thing...
I feel like im the only person who doesnt like rimmel wake me up at all. It has shimmer particles in it, you cant really tell under artificial light, but as soon as I step outside, especially on a sunny day, I look like I have just covered my face in glitter. I love the formula and coverage, but the glitter stops me from ever picking it up as I have so many foundations that I prefer to it.
I have an oily skin and use the bourjois healthy mix with great success when set with a loose powder! I also require fuller coverage for acne scarring and find it works well for that when stippled with a sponge - rarely need concealer. Used to use colourstay religiously but felt it was sucking the life out of my face, though it's fine for a night out.
Favourite Bb cream/foundation of all time is the seventeen BB cream that they do, OMG I'm in loveee. I believe 17 is a boots only brand in the uk and the product is like £7 but it is seriously the best, high coverage, flawless,don't stick to dry skin, great pail colour,easy to apply... I love itttt! It also claims to improve your skins quality within 4 weeks and I have to agree so much! I have bad acne and I find that since I've used this that I've only been finding few small spots and not the large red ones I'm used to. Totally recommend for yall who are dry skinned but want a high cover and are on the Pale side xx
I purchased Maybelline's Fit Me! Foundation, since I read a lot of good reviews on it, but it just doesn't work on my skin! I wonder if there's an specific tool to apply it, I've used an stippling brush and a classic foundation brush, but the foundation just doesn't come up nice, it looks like a layer of soft uneven plastic on my face; does someone have a recommendation on how to apply it? Thanks in advance!
I use Fit Me all the time, it's my go to foundation as their colors always seem to match my skin better than any other brand. I have combination skin so I have to do a moisturizer on my dry areas before I apply, but after that I buff it on with a brush and it goes on flawless.
OMG only just realised from watching superstar vloggers on bbc I player that you two are Jim CHAPMANS sisters omg I have your gold techniques brushes!!!!!! I love you
I love how you made it so easy to understand which ones worked and didn't. I understand that everybody is a little different but this definitely helped me understand a little bit better what to look for in the right foundation so thank you
being incredibly pale (Mac 10) I struggle so much with foundation in the UK. I will never forgive dainty doll for discontinuing their foundation! the only foundation that has ever matched my skin tone, as in the makeup world I seem to be a super pale yellow toned anomaly! x
Have you tried NARS Sheer Glow foundation in shade Siberia? It's great for pale girls with yellow undertones. You could also try MUFE Ultra HD in Y205 if you're not as yellow as Siberia.
Same issue for me. I still haven't found the perfect yellow undertones super pale foundation yet. Nars luminous weightless foundation comes the closest.
+Renee Bergeron + Shelby (sorry I don't know how to reply to both!) I've tried nars and they both come up far too dark for me! I have a nearly pearly white neck which makes nearly everything super orange/ dark! illamasqua ones have come the closest but they're horrendously pink toned and horrible formulas! I'll get there one day, when someone brings the dainty doll formula back to life!!
+heveewoohoo Try Graftobian HD Glamour Creme foundation in Ivory. It's honestly off-white with a yellow undertone. Trouble is I don't think you can get it in many stores as it's usually a pro or stage product. If you just want to order online, check out Camera Ready Cosmetics, they sell samples for a couple bucks each.
+heveewoohoo Ooohhh, you make me wish I have heard of this dainty doll foundation! Have you heard of Yaby? I think that's the spelling. Anyway, they do a white foundation. :) I haven't tried it, but I have seen it!
+devilswithsugar NYX just came out with a white mixer and I'm sure it'll come to drugstores soon so there will be an option for super pale people in drugstores!
+Leah F The Body Shop do white pigmented drops you can buy a bottle and mix a few drops in with your foundation or concealer etc to get the right shade. Also the do a darker one to darken foundations as well
Also, for anyone reading who has an oily skin - Revlon Colourstay for combo/oily is my absolute fave. And if you're pale then I find the colours to be really good. Their concealer from the same range is great too.
hairgeek95 yes! I used it for a whole month before I went to an outdoor event with someone and they told me I was "sparkling" in the sun! I had a whole new bottle as backup and decided never to use it again hahaha
+akvilyte002 That's a false statement. As a makeup artist, you should be able to cater and recommend for ALL skintones. But as Nic said at the start, the drugstores in the UK don't cater to us at all, at least she recognised that rather than ignoring. It is shitty though for anyone who is watching this and is darker than olive skinned. As a huge makeup artist with a big influence, if they spoke up more I think a change is more likely to happen. Not just talking about pixiwoo, but all of the famous makeup artists in general.
I didn't mean I was annoyed with Nic. I love her! I love Pixiwoo. I meant it annoys me that it's so difficult to find foundations for dark skin in drugstores.
Rimmel wake me up applies fine on my skin and im super dry, i dont find im overly shiny at all. I did buy the Garnier BB cream after watching this and im loving it so thanks xx
This video is so helpful!! To some of use who only have a max of £10 to spend on their foundation, we can't really afford to get it wrong and its so helpful to see them all compared by the same person, rather than across different reviewers.
This is so helpful. I've been using the same foundation for around 15 years, and now that I'm more into makeup, I can tell I need a change. There's just so many to choose from, and it's confusing.
That was great! It's so easy to get blinded by all the foundation/BB/CC options on the High Street. I completely agree with the Bourjois CC love - once I found it I've never looked back.
I use the Rimmel wake me up foundation and I love it! I tend to get dry skin but it doesn't seem to make it worse, I use mac studio fix when I'm not wearing tan but I would recommend the Rimmel for a good finish!
I found this video really interesting, especially since I'm looking to get a new drugstore foundation. I think I'm going to try the bourjois 123 perfect foundation. I had a sample of the Bb cream version of it, and loved it! So I'm sure I'll love the foundation! x
+GlitterLipsBeauty Since seeing this video I just recently bought it! Its exactly as said in the video, not much shine but great coverage, it practically melts into the skin x

the rimmel lasting finish 25 hour foundation is SO underrated i love it
I have that! I love it but I've found it turns out different on different days :/ some days it makes me look really pale, others it's quite orange
It's strange haha
Maybe is the pH in your skin??
That's definitely my favorite drugstore foundation :)
+Jess Thomas I have found this too recently! Its the only foundation I've ever repurchased but lately I just look orange and patchy so going to try something else :(
Jess Thomas i had this problem but i found it helps switching your moisturiser

The Rimmel lasting finish is amazeballs!!
Nic I love love love your hair . The color is so flattering on you . Stunning
Yes, please do concealed! I really enjoyed this foundation video and will try some on your recommendation.
So helpful, as you've gone through them all to compare.. its a minefield as you say.. and of course all the adverts and claims never help. Real life testing by a makeup artist with them all makes the best comparison. Thanks Nic x
Really liked that format! Having all of that information in one place from a trusted source is very helpful. :)
PLEASE please do another but based on drugstore concealers ! Been trying to look for some new concealers for ages !! C
Bourjois have great ones, or the collection lasting perfection is great!

You look ethereal. Beautiful with a natural vibe.
Nic the Fit Me Matte is my favourite foundation but you can't get it in the UK yet :(
+Carys K Yes you can, I got it from boots xxx
+pixiwoo It's not the same as the one you showed in the video, they have a matte version of the Fit me foundation that's not available in the Uk yet.. xx
+pixiwoo it's not available yet? I have to order it online? Ahaha xx
+Carys K They made it available in India few days back. How not UK? Anyhow it's amazinggg
I agree, the Maybelline matte poreless foundation is my holy grail! ❤️👍🏽
I have the bourjois 123 perfect foundation its my favorite as well !!
You are the best when it comes to describing and reviewing everything !! thank you 😚😚
you so beautiful, this natural makeup is gorgeous on you...i adore your brushes and use them all the time!
I had the Bourjois 123 foundation shade 51 and it oxidises into an orange colour, not great!!
Their radiance concealer was the exact same ...Their healthy mix foundation is lovely though ( the gel )
Loved this video! Purchased the bourjois 123 yesterday! Looking forward to trying it! Please do more of these videos especially concealer! Xx
here in the us revlon colorstay has a pump now !!!!!!
It does? Did they get new packaging?
They did in my state
In France too ! That's great 👍🏻
Whhaaaattt this needs to come to the uk now.
+LTwizzleyxo it is coming to the UK, the pump packing is in their 2016 launches. Maybe even as soon as next month
Finally a video about drugstore foundations only! And thank god you actually were truthful that they're not all "full coverage" like too many people say! Thanks Nic!x
they really SHOULD do the same shades in all of their ranges, so for example Maybelline should do the same shades in their BB creams as they do in their mousse etc.
Ooh great to see and hear your thoughts on these type of cheaper foundations. Love your hair colour by the way!
This was so helpful PLEASE do one for concealers!! I need help..
I love the soap and glory one heck of a blot foundation. It is amazing !!!!! Xx
Man... Can't get Max factor and Bourjois in the states and when you can it's on amazing for like 30 dollars! :(
Amazon not amazing lol
Max factor is the same a covergirl if I'm not mistaken. Just different names :)
+bellaboopixi I think you're right, I tried a couple things a few years ago from mf (cousin brought see home from a trip) and I remember the products seemed a little different! But I didn't know as much as I do now so maybe I'm wrong haha.
What I love most about the Chapman girls is that they don't believe in beating around the bush or wasting peoples precious time. They get on video, film and only talk about what is relevant to the title of their video. They don't go on about inconsequential details about their day about how they chipped a nail doing their groceries or any other distractions. They're focused. This is the key to their success! Power to you ladies! ❤️
Shopping trip already planned for tomorrow ☺️
You and I both! lol
You're hair is beautiful! Perfect color, length, style
very informative! could you please do a video on concealers? ty
Thanks for doing all the work to test out the foundations from drugstores!
Can you do this for primers!!!
I love the last one too! Wear it all the time
Any recommendations for foundations for dry skin? I find that both the Bourjois and Maybelline Fit me catches on the dry parts.
I think the rimmel wake me up is good if you like a dewy finish and the bourjois healthy mix
+Emma Lindvall I have dry skin and the only drugstore foundation I use now is the Rimmel match perfection one because it seems to be the only one that doesn't stick to my dry patches x
I really like rimmel match perfection (blue lid) I also have dry skin and find it hard to find a foundation with good coverage and doesnt cling to dry patches. This ones perfect x
I like the revlon colourstay they have a special formula for dry skin and it doesnt cling to my dry patches at all
Which fit me did you buy? The original in the US is the most dry skin friendly/skin like foundation I've ever tried. No matter what the price. I have eczema all over my face so I've got texture on texture. Trust me I know no foundation is perfect but if I apply the fit me in flat motions from forehead to chin and don't buff in circles it's foolproof.
The bourjois cc cream looked amazing on you .
I think the Wake me up foundation is NOT matte at all..... I used it and it was like it never seemed to set and remained like a greasy layer on my face... I hated it! I dont have particularly oily skin either. I gave it to my friend and she said the same thing...
Love this video!! Thank you so much for putting this together! YES, please do one for concealers too!! I would greatly appreciate it.
I feel like im the only person who doesnt like rimmel wake me up at all. It has shimmer particles in it, you cant really tell under artificial light, but as soon as I step outside, especially on a sunny day, I look like I have just covered my face in glitter. I love the formula and coverage, but the glitter stops me from ever picking it up as I have so many foundations that I prefer to it.
Yeah I hadn't noticed it was glittery until my friend pointed it out which was quite embarrassing to have to go through my day like that
I love this hair color!! Goes really well with your skin Nick.
What eyelashes are you wearing .. They look amazing😍😍
I don't think she has any on, she's been using a lash grow serum
I have an oily skin and use the bourjois healthy mix with great success when set with a loose powder! I also require fuller coverage for acne scarring and find it works well for that when stippled with a sponge - rarely need concealer. Used to use colourstay religiously but felt it was sucking the life out of my face, though it's fine for a night out.
Thank you so much this has helped me so so much!
+Eliana Ozin pleasure.x
I also adore the Bourjois 123 foundation!
what eyelashes r u wearing
+candy floss I don't have any on. I have been using Li lash growth serum xx
+pixiwoo oh thank u I'll be sure to try that out BTW they look amazing xx :)
+candy floss My sister uses that stuff too and it really works.
+xMariaChanx I think I'll try it out I'll buy it on the weekend how long does it take 2 work? xx
I'm not sure but you can probably google it!
Favourite Bb cream/foundation of all time is the seventeen BB cream that they do, OMG I'm in loveee. I believe 17 is a boots only brand in the uk and the product is like £7 but it is seriously the best, high coverage, flawless,don't stick to dry skin, great pail colour,easy to apply... I love itttt! It also claims to improve your skins quality within 4 weeks and I have to agree so much! I have bad acne and I find that since I've used this that I've only been finding few small spots and not the large red ones I'm used to. Totally recommend for yall who are dry skinned but want a high cover and are on the Pale side xx
I purchased Maybelline's Fit Me! Foundation, since I read a lot of good reviews on it, but it just doesn't work on my skin! I wonder if there's an specific tool to apply it, I've used an stippling brush and a classic foundation brush, but the foundation just doesn't come up nice, it looks like a layer of soft uneven plastic on my face; does someone have a recommendation on how to apply it? Thanks in advance!
Beauty blender is the best way to apply it for sure
Wilma Sundberg Thank you very much, gorgeous! I'll try applying it that way
+Kathi S. same I gave mine away
I had the same problem, my skin is very dry and it never ever felt/look good .
I use Fit Me all the time, it's my go to foundation as their colors always seem to match my skin better than any other brand. I have combination skin so I have to do a moisturizer on my dry areas before I apply, but after that I buff it on with a brush and it goes on flawless.
I -absolutely- LOVE your hair color. It suits you perfectly!!!
OMG only just realised from watching superstar vloggers on bbc I player that you two are Jim CHAPMANS sisters omg I have your gold techniques brushes!!!!!! I love you
THANKS for the video. I'm going to try the Bourjois 123.
Would love to see more videos like this. Cheers.
Thank you to highlight the fact that there is none colour range for dark skin. the same in France (it's even worst). And yes, it is a shame🙅
I love how you made it so easy to understand which ones worked and didn't. I understand that everybody is a little different but this definitely helped me understand a little bit better what to look for in the right foundation so thank you
being incredibly pale (Mac 10) I struggle so much with foundation in the UK. I will never forgive dainty doll for discontinuing their foundation! the only foundation that has ever matched my skin tone, as in the makeup world I seem to be a super pale yellow toned anomaly! x
Have you tried NARS Sheer Glow foundation in shade Siberia? It's great for pale girls with yellow undertones. You could also try MUFE Ultra HD in Y205 if you're not as yellow as Siberia.
Same issue for me. I still haven't found the perfect yellow undertones super pale foundation yet. Nars luminous weightless foundation comes the closest.
+Renee Bergeron + Shelby (sorry I don't know how to reply to both!) I've tried nars and they both come up far too dark for me! I have a nearly pearly white neck which makes nearly everything super orange/ dark! illamasqua ones have come the closest but they're horrendously pink toned and horrible formulas! I'll get there one day, when someone brings the dainty doll formula back to life!!
+heveewoohoo Try Graftobian HD Glamour Creme foundation in Ivory. It's honestly off-white with a yellow undertone. Trouble is I don't think you can get it in many stores as it's usually a pro or stage product. If you just want to order online, check out Camera Ready Cosmetics, they sell samples for a couple bucks each.
+heveewoohoo Ooohhh, you make me wish I have heard of this dainty doll foundation! Have you heard of Yaby? I think that's the spelling. Anyway, they do a white foundation. :) I haven't tried it, but I have seen it!
OMFG YOUR HAIR!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ never seen you so beauts!!!
That moment when you're to pale for foundation:(
companies do white foundations, you're never too pale haha. unless you're talking about drugstore.
+Leah F I feel that! I have to mix Macs white face and body in with everything, even concealer but it changes the consistency :( x
+devilswithsugar NYX just came out with a white mixer and I'm sure it'll come to drugstores soon so there will be an option for super pale people in drugstores!
+Leah F The Body Shop do white pigmented drops you can buy a bottle and mix a few drops in with your foundation or concealer etc to get the right shade. Also the do a darker one to darken foundations as well
Revlon has a foundation that is in shade that might as well be white ☺
I also love the Bourjous 123 foundation. I have done for ages and no body I know talks about or uses it! I really hope they don't discontinue it!
am I the only one who thinks the rimmel wake me up foundation is too glittery???
Soooo glittery AND oxidised!!! I hated it ugh
Yeah its just weird...I'm not an elf I dont want to sparkle.
I agree! I hate it!
+BMakeupBeauty I'm sorry 'i'm not an elf i don't want to sparkle' - that phrase just absolutely made my day XD
Billy Singh yes!!! And in photographs, the glitter makes your face really shiny with the flash on
Also, for anyone reading who has an oily skin - Revlon Colourstay for combo/oily is my absolute fave. And if you're pale then I find the colours to be really good. Their concealer from the same range is great too.
I found that wake me up foundation made me look like a female version of Edward Cullen
Omg hahahaha
hairgeek95 yes! I used it for a whole month before I went to an outdoor event with someone and they told me I was "sparkling" in the sun! I had a whole new bottle as backup and decided never to use it again hahaha
Loved this video!! Been thinking about trying a new drugstore foundation! Would love to see the concealer video as well!! Thanks :)
yeah there's nothing for dark skin lmao
+sakzitime I know it annoys me so much!
+sakzitime That's just because she can not try that herself and therefore she can not recommend anything :)
+sakzitime Maybelline dream fresh bb in medium - deep is meant to be amazing!
+akvilyte002 That's a false statement. As a makeup artist, you should be able to cater and recommend for ALL skintones. But as Nic said at the start, the drugstores in the UK don't cater to us at all, at least she recognised that rather than ignoring. It is shitty though for anyone who is watching this and is darker than olive skinned. As a huge makeup artist with a big influence, if they spoke up more I think a change is more likely to happen. Not just talking about pixiwoo, but all of the famous makeup artists in general.
I didn't mean I was annoyed with Nic. I love her! I love Pixiwoo. I meant it annoys me that it's so difficult to find foundations for dark skin in drugstores.
Love this Nic! Would love to see some more of this format for concealers :) xx
Kiko foundations are great too with a wide selection of colors and various types of finish (matte, satin etc)
So much effort to make this video ! Great job Nic !
YES!!! Love this format! Concealers next please :) :) :)
I really love how you don't take forever to go over them, your straight to the point you don't drag it on forever👌🏽
Rimmel wake me up applies fine on my skin and im super dry, i dont find im overly shiny at all. I did buy the Garnier BB cream after watching this and im loving it so thanks xx
I did so like the format!! Please do more.
I love that you reviewed all of those foundations so quickly! Everyone else's videos would have been two hours long. Bravo!!!
FINALLY a video about foundations that leaves out all the nonsense and chitchat. I love that you get right to the point :)
This video is so helpful!! To some of use who only have a max of £10 to spend on their foundation, we can't really afford to get it wrong and its so helpful to see them all compared by the same person, rather than across different reviewers.
This is so helpful. I've been using the same foundation for around 15 years, and now that I'm more into makeup, I can tell I need a change. There's just so many to choose from, and it's confusing.
That was great! It's so easy to get blinded by all the foundation/BB/CC options on the High Street. I completely agree with the Bourjois CC love - once I found it I've never looked back.
Keep this hair color forever!! It's the color you should have been born with! Gorgeous!
+Carolina Altamiranda Thank you.x
I use the Rimmel wake me up foundation and I love it! I tend to get dry skin but it doesn't seem to make it worse, I use mac studio fix when I'm not wearing tan but I would recommend the Rimmel for a good finish!
I found this video really interesting, especially since I'm looking to get a new drugstore foundation. I think I'm going to try the bourjois 123 perfect foundation. I had a sample of the Bb cream version of it, and loved it! So I'm sure I'll love the foundation! x
+GlitterLipsBeauty You should. I really really like it ! I've used it for probably 3 years.
+GlitterLipsBeauty Since seeing this video I just recently bought it! Its exactly as said in the video, not much shine but great coverage, it practically melts into the skin x
what skin type do you have? is it more suitable for oily or dry skin? whats the finish of the foundation?
I use the maybelline bb cream (oily skin) and add a tiny drop of rimmel nude foundation, perfect coverage and lasts all day if you powder on top
This is such a useful video!! Thank you so much! Will look at that Bourjois 123 soon!
