Angie I am so happy that when u show your pores I can actually see your pores. Seems like so many influencers use some kind of filter because their skin looks like glass, not a pore in sight. Thanks for being real!
I don’t wear much makeup these days but I love watching these videos because you have such a calming presence. Thank you for your content.
Thanks Marissa!
Angie, Thank you. I feel when you buy a fairly pricey foundation you shouldn't have to add everything else setting sprays etc. These days money is getting tougher to spend it on the expensive stuff when everything else is so expensive "food". I think these companies need to help our pocket books out. Also, I love when you try drug store makeup. It surely helps my pocket book. Any chance your doing one for spring/summer? Thanks for your knowledge and guidance really appreciate you. Thank you.
Definitely!
Hi. Would you mind looking at the theraface pro?
Yes, you would expect a pricey foundation to just work and not need a whole load of stuff to make it work.
@Dana Prahl Sorry ladies I disagree. Skin differences, be that you are dry, or oily. Age differences. Acne scars and or enlarged pores. Many of the higher products, a lot of them have very good ingredients in them. You can buy a cheap foundation, that has absolutely no skin care. And ingredients you can barely pronounce. Primers and setting sprays. A primer is to help your skin beforehand. Most women don't realize, their own skin care can be a perfect primer. And as for setting sprays. If you're using any type of powder product. I've been using a setting spray, since I started wearing makeup, 1996. Back in the time that I would use the setting spray, when it wasn't around. I would use glycerin, triple distilled water, and a bit of aloe. Simple as that. It would make my stage make up last a long long time. I actually learned the secret, from a woman that would come in and do our makeup, teaching us what we had to do, for the following ballet that year. She's the one that taught us how to make this.
Things that work don't have to be expensive. And, I feel a lot of people overuse their products. Overuse their foundation. Overuse their creams and lotions and even primers.
And needless to say if you're buying an expensive product, even though that they can have the best ingredients. Sometimes those ingredients can work against you because you already have the proper face Care on that works flawlessly.
I'm 45. I use way less product on my skin now. So those of us that are middle-aged or more. We can actually get away with a little more expensive product. Because we don't use it, trying to cover imperfections. When we overly cover them they fast become the most prominent and most noticeable.
I have always lived with the motto make do or do without. And when you do without, you just start a little tuck away fund. Rome was not rebuilt in a day. Would you buy a product, that was inexpensive, wasn't the greatest. But you got it because it was cheap. Yet it dries your skin out, isn't the very best, you don't look your best. Or would it be better to just go natural, do a few little touch-ups here and there around our eyes and putting on our eyelashes. Mascara and or eyelashes can make any woman look bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. The eyes go straight to the eyes. In the meantime you can save up for your most favorite quality product. Certain stores will have big sales at certain times of the year. Save up for exactly that.
If you don't buy a lot of products in your older. Maybe your loved ones buy more. And they will receive a better sale price. Such as Sephora. Getting that 20% discount you have to spend a lot to get it. So then connect with those you love. Save for your most favorite pieces. And then purchase them through them. Where there is a will there is a way. And darling, yes those things make a huge difference. Especially for the type of skin we have. And I can understand the qualm of wanting something and not being able to have it. But I'll tell you what, it's better to go without, and then when you finally receive what you enjoy what you use and what works. It's all that much better. Truly. Good things come to those who wait. Always.
Yeah, while I’m super happy for her that she’s grown this channel into an amazing business for herself…success always comes with more partnerships and companies trying to use her follower #’s for their marketing needs. So she’s obviously able to play with more expensive products…which isn’t always the most practical (especially the hair growth and skin lights! Ugh $$$) Sigh. But it’s also interesting to see how some of these things work…as I do trust she’s being very honest! Hope that never changes, no matter how much someone pays her to push their products!! 😂
This foundation has taken over as my holy grail. It knocks my other two off their thrones. After wearing this all day (under a mask for 8 hours), it still looks almost as though I just put it on. After taking it off, my skin is super soft and the mask-nee I constantly kept on my chin completely cleared up after wearing this for just one week straight. I’m scared now to use any other foundation. I can wear this with or without a primer and it’s beautiful. Two of those small pumps covers my entire face. I love this so much, I bought a shade (Monte Blanc) for when I’m not tanned at all and one shade (Patagonia) for when I’m at my darkest tan.
Hi Angie; I think the Nars Light Reflecting foundation is fabulous! I use it also as concealer as it is super thin, but highly pigmented and doesn't crease on me at all like traditional concealer formulas do. I am 53 with fine lines and wrinkles and I mean zero creasing. I pair it with the Nars light Reflecting pressed powder which I have used for about five years. It is super hard pressed so it may look like hard pan straight out of the package but it just needs a good natural hair goat brush (I use either my Rae Morris or Wayne Goss brushes) to pick up the product and it just knocks back the sheen of the foundation as I don't like any shine in the under eye area. It is truly translucent on my brown skin and is virtually invisible. Thanks for sharing
Sounds perfect on you!!
I use it as concealer as well.
I have lupus too. Love your name
@@louisesharpy Thank you! Sending gentle hugs your way 🥰
I bought it because of your recomendation as concealer - AND I LOVE IT UNDER MY EYS (46 years old, dry and wrinkly skin) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT TIP ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m obsessed with this foundation. I feel like I’m on this life long mission to find the perfect foundation. Lol I’m incredibly pleased with it. I found it works the best with Dior Powder No Powder. Stays looking fresh and gorgeous.
So funny how everyone is different. I absolutely love it! I still love watching reviews and getting other people’s opinions. Still informative. Plus I just love watching your videos in general. Always positive and fun 🥰
Me too, I get tons of compliments.
I do really love this foundation its now my favourite, I'm 39 in June and have combo skin (oily in the T zone normal on the rest of my face), it work great with my sunscreen i use the mineral Australian gold tinted sunscreen, it looks natural on me and lasts upto 12 hours, by the 12 hours you can see my oils coming through but in a natural way. Foundation is so different for everyone so just wanted people to see that it worked for my skin type
Very happy it works well for you! My friend with oily skin really loves it, it's her HG foundation!!
Mine too and I turn 70 in August. I get compliments a lot... even my sister and she is not one to give many compliments. I actually wore it 24 hours and went to my home closing without freshening up. It lasted and looked great.
Hello, for me this is a definite pass. It clings to my poor dry areas and made me look a flaking mess. I gave the bottle to my sister to try and now it’s her holy grail. Go figure. Everyone has their own unique needs. Thanks so much for your integrity and honesty!
It's so funny that you hated it & your sister loves it! I can definitely see both points of view!!
Having skin that leans towards dry, I think I'll pass! Thank you for trying it out so thoroughly for us!!!!
I bought this and didn’t like it either.
I love it, but I don’t wear it if I’m feeling dry and it’s a low-humidity day.
I have been loving this foundation. It’s such a perfect shade match for me and has a lovely soft glow. It’s one of the few foundations I’ve ever found that doesn’t look terrible on my nose.
Good morning Angie. You're simply amazing and I thank you for all you do for us. You're still the only one I faithfully follow. Short, sweet and straight to the point but the point is backed by actual true, down to the nitty gritty testing. Happy Easter!
Thank you Janell! That means the world to me!! xo ~a.
Me too
I love this foundation. I’m 71 with normal leaning slightly oily. I use mineral sunscreen, YSL touché éclate primer and 1 - 2 pumps foundation . I apply with my fingers.
I’m 58 with dry skin and lots of dark discolorations. I tried this foundation and liked but didn’t love UNTIL I used Auric glow under it. Now this foundation is absolutely lovely. Covers and lasts even with a mask. No need for concealer (and I have horrible under eyes!) love love love this! Three pumps with a moist sponge and I am set for the day.
What is Auric glow? What brand, please?
Happy Friday, Angie ❤️. I'm so thankful that I didn't purchase this Nars foundation in the Sephora sale. I was tempted, but wanted your review. Finicky foundation makes me crazy, so thank you, thank you, thank you! Glad I didn't purchase. I didn't see your 1 million subscribers plaque in your background..LOL. I'm hoping it's just because of your filming time. Congrats again! Honest videos like this are why you are so very trusted. Have a great weekend ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Thanks so much Mary! The 1M plaque is too big to fit in my background... Have a lovely weekend! xo ~angie
@@AngieHotandFlashy Too big? Are you kidding? Just put that award on the floor and lean it up against the cabinet to your left. It'll fit just fine! 🤩
Love your videos, I am 49 and you make me feel more comfortable with the next decade in my life. Thanks from Brazil
These days I'm sticking to lighter coverage foundations. My current favorite is the No7 restore and renew serum foundation. It's perfect for my ultra dry skin. Sending you lots of love from Oregon 💜💜💜
I had similar experience with this foundation. For me, it just worked over the La Roche-Posay anthelios ultra fluid sunscreen. Other “thicker “ sunscreen made the foundation flaky. When I got it to work it was beautiful. I warmed small quantities of it with my fingers and applied to small areas because it dries quickly. A little bit goes a long way. In summary, it’s finicky but when it finally agrees with the skin and sunscreen, it looks really nice. I am in my mid 59’s, for reference, so all the pores, dryness, wrinkles conditions apply to me :)
Your reviews are hands down the most complete ❤️
I’m with you Angie, looks good when first applied, then settles around dry patches and any texture. I tried. I have very dry, mature (70) skin. I do like the Chanel, but my favorite is Erborian CC cream or Purito BB cream, never a texture showing.
be careful with erborian, there are so many bad things in it...
My all time favorite foundation. Glad you tried for 3 days. Such a beautiful finish, looks like skin and not overly glowy on me. I do apply with a sponge and do not use a finishing powder on the entire face. Have used Physician’s Formula Butter Believe It translucent powder very lightly in my T zone. Shade match has been a challenge.
Thanks again for saving me $, Angie. I've been really seduced by this new Nars foundation, but with a ridiculously large collection of foundations already, several holy grail among them, I have to ask myself, will this be "The One" or is it just my FOMO? Still, as any true beauty lover can attest (I'm 67 and love makeup as much as I did in my 20s and feel confident and happier when I present my best face AND have fun playing, like an artist!). Your reviews, hard work, honesty, and the fact that you speak to us mature women with such relatability, and actually get in the trenches with your research, is so refreshing and appreciated. Happy Easter! 🐣
Funny, I haven’t found a foundation I really love like this one in a very long time! The light reflecting NARS powder is also fabulous!
I agree! It’s very youthful when you use a small amount.
Angie...spot on review! This foundation did the same for me and my 61 year old skin.....drying, settling, and looks more matte than dewy for sure! I think the name is misleading as many think it is a dewier look but alas... not so. Thanks for your genuineness and this foundation is a return for me!
I had the same experience with this foundation! I’m glad it was just a sample.
Same here
Same thing for me and my 65 year skin. Took it back
“This one is a mystery, you know..wrapped in an enigma…surrounded by a conundrum.”
By far, my favorite comment from you ever. 😂✌🏼🌻

I didn't make it up, it's a spin on a famous quote!
Well it was new to me. Cred given for spreading!
@@AllyKit she’s not that bright.
Your facial expressions at the end of day 1 are priceless!
I had the same thing with it being drying, and exaggerated all of the textures that I didn’t think I have. I’m much much happier with the new mufe foundation, it stays put and wears very naturally, also matte finish and doesn’t move or oxidize.
Angie, thanks as always for your thorough testing of the foundations for us! The more I see of other influencers talking about makeup (even those who gear towards those of us with more mature skin), the more I appreciate you! I have yet to see anyone else who goes to detail about how you apply it, what products you use with it, and how it wears. Your work is so appreciated! I’ve tried a lot of the products you talk about. Some work for me and some don’t, but that’s just the difference between your skin and mine. 😊
What Barbara said!
You are gorgeous with and without makeup!
Thanks so much!
Agree 💯
This foundation looked incredible on my cheeks and forehead… prettiest I have ever used. But it looked horrible on my nose and under my eyes. Sat on top of tiny texture and wrinkles. I also found it wore away through the day which I am not so picky about, but for the price I would expect better. Glad I only got a sample.
I do like this foundation..it works well on My dry mature skin and as I’ve learned from Wayne Goss theres no foundation that wont find those pesky wrinkles
Speaking of Wayne Goss, he launched a foundation today and I would love it, Angie, if you would test it.
I just turned 60 so the last thing I want is ANYTHING settling in to wrinkles!! I have tried using this a few times and it’s OK definitely not a re-purchase but I’ll use it may be for days that I don’t need longevity but will definitely try it with different primers and sunscreen and setting spray… thank you so much for your review very helpful 🥰
Hello Jenny
I experienced every single thing you did. I changed primers and moisturizers and changed application methods. Nothing mattered!
Angie you’re not just a pro you’re The Pro😘
I used it with isntree sunblock, elf putty primer on t-zone and hourglass mineral veil on rest of my face. I use my fingers to apply then pounce a dry beauty blender all over my face to set it in place. I set it with byTerry hydro powder and it looked amazing! I received compliments from my husband and my finicky 30 yr old daughter who immediately wanted to know what I had on my face.
I also love the Chanel No 1, using same products and technique.
That's awesome!!
Thank you for the review..I personally love the Nars foundation it makes my face look flawless..
🔥🤩 You are giving me Kim Bessinger vibes in the beginning of this video with the darker eye liner, hair part and black sweater!
I am 51 and I liove this Naar foundation. Far better than the new CT which i had also bought
I’m 51 too and I had the exact same experience with both foundations.
I love this foundation on my mature combo skin if I set it with powder it lasts around 8 hours. No creasing in my wrinkles but I don’t use much there, I just build up coverage on my cheeks where I have redness and hyperpigmentation
I’ve been trying to love this foundation for months thinking it was my skin that was the problem. I am having all the same issues as you were mentioning in the video. Thanks so much for foundation Friday love them!
I bought this after being influenced by another account and oh man do I wish I hadn’t. It moves around so much on my skin like it did on yours.
Hi Sarah
I prefer the brush side. I bought this and I think the finger application looks best.
Love your foundation reviews! I would love to see a review of the new Makeup Forever foundation if you haven't done it already
I am obsessed with this foundation.
I love your cute expressions - especially at the end of the first day. 😂 My 21 year old daughter is a makeup aficionado and is always recommending things to me. But, I always check to see if you’ve done a review for grown-up skin. Thanks for the help!
OMG, Angie, you are a comic genius! Thank you for being so fun, so funny, and giving me my first real laugh of my day!
I wish I had seen this before I purchased this foundation. I’ve had the same experience! I thought I was crazy because everyone else seems to really enjoy this one. I’ve tried it with 5 different primers, and 3 different sunscreens, sponge/brush…. You name it, it didn’t work. I just saw another of your reviews discussing how much you like the Chanel Ultra Le Tient. I love that one too! So I think we seem to have similar issues and wants. All of this to say, I immediately subscribed! Thanks for the very in depth reviews!
I get so frustrated trying to find foundation. I tried NARS twice. Biggest thing I noticed is it made me have more texture. My pores looked like little whiter dots. I looked better with tinted foundation. And foundation is supposed to make you look better not worse...
I hear you! I was equally frustrated when I first started trying foundations. Now I've tried hundreds but I only like a handful... it's like finding a needle in a haystack!!
With some foundations you need to wait about 30 minutes to let your skincare and sunscreen to set before you go in with foundation. That's what causes those little white dot pores for me. And blend downwards. Maybe try the new Makeup Forever. It's amazing.
This is the 2nd Nars fndtn I try, and I like🙆♀️. I find it is a good one and looks fine on my combo/mostly dry skin. However, these days, I am more leaned towards using skin tints, which is rare, because I used to dislike them, as I thought skin tints only dirts the face.🤣😂 But it's great that nowadays skin tints are being formulated with a bit more coverage without disrupting the lightweight feeling on the skin.
I agree, right now I probably have at least $300 of foundations in my drawer, and not in love with ANY of them! And I also have just as many primers, they all end up pilling on me!
@@AngieHotandFlashy Exactly. On days that my skin is dry, usually because of excess exfoliation,this one doesn’t even give me color! However when my glow is back, I just prefer a satin-matte finish. It blurs the pores,and you can get a natural finish when you use very little. I thought Nars looked better on you (earlier) than the new chanel. I would not want to be seen Schweaty.☺️
Really good review as usual Angie and it is proof that every foundation reacts differently on everyone, depending on your skin type, what climate you live in, what skincare and spf you put under it and what powder you use to set it. No wonder people find it so hard to find a foundation that suits them especially if you’re ordering online as choosing the wrong shade can alter how you feel about it too.🥰💜
Hello Katrina
Thanks for the review! I tried this one recently with a sample and didn’t care for it. I have very dry skin and didn’t like how my skin looked after a few hours.
Hello Michelle
Very helpful using a sponge and a brush, then comparing. I've probably thrown away foundations in the past because I used the wrong application method. In future I will try both methods before tossing out.
Interesting to see your experience with the NARS and all the variables you tried. This foundation is actually my new favorite. I’m 52 with large pores, lots of discoloration. My HG sunscreen is the Paula’s Choice wrinkle defense and I always use a primer (Laura Mercier Canvas) and a setting powder (Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Filter). I don’t use setting spray. It always looks beautiful. I’d suggest trying it again with the Elta MD/Paula’s Choice sunscreen with a primer because I think overall, primer is key to this foundation. I haven’t tried applying it with a sponge yet - only a brush. I’ll definitely give that a go given your experience. Thanks so much for all your videos!
Do you use your primer before or after sunscreen?
Angie, THANK YOU! I bought this and some days it works, others I don’t like it. You’ve given me ideas about making it work better. Yesterday I mixed it with my Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder and it was great. I have dry skin and have to moisturize well or else.
This is WAYYYY too much work for me ☺️. Thank you Angie! Happy Easter!🐣🌷
Angie I have to be honest and really didn't think it was the best foundation on you, it looked dry and makeup looking. Thank you for giving it a trial!
Perfect timing! Angie I was just thinking of trying this! So glad I saw your video first. You're the best, Best, BEST!!!!
Awww, thank you Jennifer!
Hello Jennifer
My favorite ever foundation is GA luminous silk. I cannot be without it.
Same, girl, same!!
I bought this thinking I would love it, and it’s really just ok at best. I’m pretty sure it makes me break out. I have mature, dry skin.
So glad you reviewed this! I was just wondering about it and there you are. :) Thank you.
My foundation is no longer made. I’m on my last bottle. These videos will be my go-to when the time comes to pick a new one. I appreciate your efforts. Thank you!
Hi Lynne, which is the foundation that is being discontinued that you love so much?
@@Anna-vz5tn YSL Touche Eclat
Thank you SO MUCH for including the flash photography test!
Does IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores powder cause flashback?
I sampled this foundation before buying, and had very similar experiences as you. I saw so much hype on it in social media, but was a bit disappointed myself. Kind of nice to hear someone with same results I got.
Hi, Angie. I’m 51 and LOVE your foundation reviews! Can you please do the newest MUFE foundation? 😘
It works great with Milk gripping primer, 2 pumps, sponge application definitely not a brush. It doesn’t like Hourglass primer or the Bobbi Brown face base in my experience. It was the best of the new foundations I tried: Charlotte, Kosas. Chanel or MUFE. I must have drier skin because I definitely cannot wear the last two. The flashback is likely coming from your mineral SPF you wore the first two days. On top of it all, I found my perfect shade match and undertone on the first try and that never happens! I wore it with CT powder yesterday, no setting spray and it did not come off under my mask. It has the perfect finish for me. Not too matte not too glowy. Perfect coverage, not too thin not too thick but makes me look flawless. I just love it on my mature skin. Actually I thought it looked like one of the best foundations on you on the last day but I know you prefer a more matte finish ❤️ I wish I could wear the Chanel but it is sooo dry on me and the scent whoa 🤕 🙊
Before I watch this is the only foundation where I've been told by my daughter who is in her 20's, mum, you look pretty! I do feel good when wearing it and purchased a much lighter shade than I am used to and it works 👍 I applied with my fingers. Yes, that's what I said. Wasn't keen on idea but again, worked
LOVED your eyeshadow look on the second day 😊
Thank you! I used the IT Cosmetics No Tug SuperHero sticks!
@@AngieHotandFlashy What colors did you use on day two? Also, what did you use on your eyes on day one - you looked fantastic on that day as well.
Good morning Angie, I enjoyed your video! Thank you so much!! Have a beautiful day!!! ❤
I have seen another review on a few of the NARS foundation and the site does say to apply with fingers. I don’t have this NARS but I do have other foundations of theirs and I do like them. I find it distributing that some sunscreens don’t play well with foundations. It really makes it hard to know this and that is why we depend on you Angie to give us the straight scoop! Thanks 😊
Such a thorough and well made review! Thank you!
I am sticking to my Dior Forever Skin Glow since many years, but am interested to try this on my 59 years old and dry skin with rosacea. And I am hesitating. Some says this Nars is sooo good and others not so much. And of course it depends not only on your type of skin, but in what kind of climate you live in. So it all ends up in that one need to try it oneself. But that fact doesn not mean that I don’t appreciate such a great review video as this. 😊
Thank you for always being so honest and thorough.
This is so helpful and so affirming to my experience with it too. I relied on other rave reviews and when it didn’t work, I kept trying different combos because I thought I was doing something wrong too. I never could get it to work. Then I bought the Chanel No 1 and tried several different combos and it always worked. So, the moral (morale) of this story is that Angie’s reviews are the holy grail for foundations truth.
What channel foundation did you buy
@@Ohkeh640 Chanel No. 1 (that’s its actual name)
Ugh. I just bought this. Put it on loved it and then was like wait what?! Came to see if you have tried it. Video was red. I watched it of course. 🤦🏻♀️ No more recommendations unless they are Angie approved! Idk what I was thinking 🤪 All your faves have worked out beautifully for me as well
It def is a mystery wrapped in an enigma surrounded by a conundrum! I use the Elta MD tinted SPF 44,
it has the perfect tint for my skin. I never use foundation anymore since using it. It has great "natural" coverage, just enough for summer, it's all i need!
I love this foundation and I have normal maybe a little dry skin. I love my color match that I got done at Sephora. I use my fingers and then press it down with a damp beauty blender and it works great. I don’t use a primer, setting spray, or powder and it lasts on me between 6-8 hours, but I don’t really need it to last longer and I can touch up with it if I’m going out in the evening. Thank you for your review.
Hmmmmm. Mine arrives today. One of my best friends wore it and her skin looked perfected. We shall see.
Good luck! I hope it works for you!!
@@AngieHotandFlashy Well it looks great. Now I applied at 4 pm and just got back from dinner (8:45) so that wasn’t very long. I used it over the MUFE Pore Minimizer primer (which is excellent) and it worked well together. I’ll have to try them again for an all day wear test. I’m super oily so I do blot and powder.
omg Angie, i literally laughed out loud at the day 1, 10-hour check in!!! your facial reaction!🤣🤣
LOL! I was so done at that point... never wanted to put it on again.
This was a great video for me to see how much affect products used under and over the foundation and tools used to apply the foundation impact the final look. I have struggled to find what works for my mature complexion (67 ugh). Oily t-zone, breakouts (hormonal I think), dry patches, major flaking after foundation application. Makeup always wears off nose and chin, flakes AND creases under eyes. Tried everything asked everyone for advice. Very confused.
So glad to know someone else had the same results with this foundation that I did. I returned it. Please keep us updated about any primer you may find that works as well as the beauty blender primer that is now discontinued (I think). Love how that works under my Estee Lauder Hydra Rescue.
May I ask where you bought it? I have had trouble returning things at Sephora and at Ulta.
@@cutazabutton I bought it a couple months ago when it came out and everyone was saying how wonderful it was. I returned it right away. I am in Central Valley California. I have never had a problem returning to either store. If your local store is making it hard to return hopefully you have another location near to you that you can try. If not contact Ulta on app or online. They have always been helpful for me also. Good luck!
On my skin it looks really good and became my favourite but I has to learn how to apply it which is with my fingers, a small amount at time ❤
'This is my holy grail foundations. LOL I love this foundation.. I don't wear it primer ever and I do set it but I love this foundation so much and the concleear as well.
I needed this video. I purchased this and I'm not receiving the results I like. I never see my pores, but everytime I wear it my pores show and bumps appear. However, you have provided great ideas about changing up the primer, powder, brush vs sponge. So I'm not going to give up yet.
Hello! Just a fast note to say how much I enjoy the content on your channel. I have had a busy and crazy day in my sewing room but now I'm get to watch your video! I hope you have a happy Easter weekend ahead! Thank you for posting is video and your expertise.
The nars light reflecting pressed setting powder is where it’s at w this!!! I use it under my eyes and it’s like silk never dry!!!!! I prefer the shiseido radiant instead of the nars foundation but they are pretty identical
I just purchased this foundation, I'm on the fence, now after viewing your review, it's going back
Thank you for this review Angie. There’s been so much hype over this foundation, I felt like I *needed* it and have had trouble getting a shade match online. I plan to get to Sephora &/or Nordy late this month to get shade matched, but after your review, am rethinking this. I have several foundations that work well for me. I’ll stick with those!
You could get a sample at Sephora and try it... some lots of people LOVE it...
Hello Steph
I got a free bottle of too faced born this way yesterday, which I’d never tried, and it was really nice! Lightweight, natural finish, decent coverage and I didn’t feel like it made my pores or lines look worse (dry skin and chemical sunscreen). That might be one to try.
I like this foundation too.
“Born this way” foundation! BEST EVER!!!!!! so natural finish, I am 50 and it’s the best for my dry skin…
❤️❤️❤️Hi Angie, I’m in my mid 40’s and a very busy mom of 3, and I loooove your channel. 😁👌🏻🌺 I’ve been using NARS for years now and love it! 💕💕💕 I just ordered your brushes set of 7 and cannot wait to try them. Xox, from NYC 😘😘😘
Good morning from CT! Thanks so much for ordering my brushes!! I hope you love them!!
@@AngieHotandFlashy 😁😁😁Good morning! I’m sure I will. 🥰🥰🥰
Maybe because I have terribly dry skin and am pretty fair, but I've never found a NARS foundation that sat well on my skin. That enough made this a maybe try a sample foundation, but I'm not willing to blind buy -- particularly when I have a gorgeous, no fuss foundation in the Chanel No. 1.
As of 2022, my beauty budget has shrunk to bare necessities… I appreciate your thorough review ( as always) before I spend 50. On foundation ! Because of you, the led, lactic acid, vitc, agency , vanicream & tinted sunscreens are my holy grails. 🌹🌹
Angie liked the L'Oreal Age Perfect 4-in-1 Tinted Balm. I bought it and love it. Great value for money
Your eye makeup on day 2 looks so beautiful!
Yes, it’s nice when it first goes on but gone at the end of the day!
Angie, you look beautiful….even flaky! Thanks for your thorough review! Just got my BK Angie concealer brush and I LOVE IT! Where has this been all my life?!?!
Oh Yay!! I'm so happy you got my brush & love it!!
Hi Amy
59!!!? Oh my. I had to rewind to know if I heard that correctly. Just lovely. Would never have guessed.
Angie, you look STUNNING in black.
Thank you!
WOW!!!That was the most diligent, in-depth & complete review I've ever seen!
Thank you for all your work & time!
And it has saved me a lot of money (I live on SS)...🥰😘😊
I bought this foundation and I don’t like it at all. It made my pores look huge, it was patchy and wore badly. It did blend nicely upon application though 🤷🏻♀️
I’ve recently bought the Chanel No 1 on your recommendation - it’s WONDERFUL. Thank you for trialling it.
Another one I love is the Tom Ford stick foundation (can’t remember its proper name). I got it half price at an outlet store near where I live (in England) and it’s jolly nice. Have you had a go with that?
And a wee request: on your links where you can use your Angie promo code, is there any way you could ask the retailers if they’ll extend it to we Brits please?
Thank you!
Hey Angie, I just love your honesty w all your reviews. I just don’t have time to be a chemist and try this and that to work w a foundation regardless of the price. I want to get ready and go. I have a bunch of fails in my drawer. Take care. Glad you’re back to two a week. Ruff on u though. 🥰
Thank you for reviewing! Love this channel!
First time to watch your foundation video…love that you are so thorough. Looking forward to watching your other foundation videos.
Thank you for great information! I bought the foundation and it settled into every crease not happy but il keep trying it I felt it was drying my skin out
There are so many AMAZING drugstore products... I will have to try this one out. Thank you!
