I loved the Chanel and wore it all summer long. I ran out and really miss it. Love this video and all of your videos. Thank you for the wonderful info.
Thank you so much, Emily!! They still sell the Chanel - and I found it at Macy's and at Chanel.com. I think they need to make it a permanent part of their collection. xoxo
Hi Abby, I’ve got the Chanel and the Tom Ford stick per your reviews, love them both. It’s funny because I also tried and disliked the Chantecaille several years ago, maybe I need to give it another try. I just tried the Stila Hide n Chic and I’m actually really loving it. It brightens the skin, gives a very natural glow, and is longer lasting than most of my other foundations. I tend to break out easily and have had no issues as of yet. I will say I think the shades run a tad dark and oxidize just a little so I may return for one shade lighter. Thanks for offering us an overview of your current favs:)
Erin- I have heard amazing things about that foundation and need to go and get it ASAP. Thank you for the tip about it oxidizing!! I will pick up a shade lighter. AND yes- I can't believe how much I love the Chantecaille FS now. CRAZY!!! xoxo
Hi Abby! As soon as you pulled out the TF Stick I thought "I really need to wear that tomorrow"! Lol I totally agree with all your choices although I would add the Estee Lauder Perfectionist, it gives the most beautiful finish ever. I have so many foundations (like I know you do too) that they are all my favorites when I'm wearing them! How's that for an answer? Lol They are all my children and I LOVE them all! xxoo
Just found you and love your reviews. I tried Chanteicaille a few years ago and did not like it, not sure if it was the product or the price? I am retired and looking for something to use everyday that is a little more cost friendly....and suggestions? Thanks and keep on doing great reviews!
Thank you! Have you tried the It Cosmetics CC Cream? That is one I always have a tube of and it is easy to use, has SPF, and good coverage. I hope this helps. xoxo
Hi Abby!!! I already looooooove Chanel EAU de TEINT and the TF TRACELESS STICK 😍😍😍😍 so we have very similar taste on foundations 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and guess what... I ordered the SURRAT one like a week ago!!!! High hopes on that!!!! 😘😘😘😘 Thanks for your videos!!!! LOVE them!!!! 😉😉😉
Yes, I have had a love hate relationship with the Chantecaille Future Skin foundation. Years ago, I kid you not I bought it and took it back 3 or 4 times as you did. What makes the difference with your skin today? Would you mind showing us how you apply it please? I love and have most of the others you loved! Thank you so much for doing this video!! xoxo
Thank you Tanya! Yes- I have a video that I will hopefully get up today- using the Future Skin and showing you how I apply it. It is definitely a beautiful foundation with the right technique. Happy Happy Holidays, my sweet friend. xoxo
OK so first you DO NOT have wrinkles...I can't find one on your face. Loved this video which was so accurate and I must say that since watching your videos I have acquired all of those foundations except for the Cle de Peau cream to powder. I will go check that out the next time I go beauty shopping..lol I do love the Cle de Peau concealer and most things by them. I have been using the Chanel Vitallumiere Aqua this week and enjoying that which you also turned me on to. Like how light weight it feels.
You are the BEST Jill!!! You know I love the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua and wore that for SO MANY years. I still love it-- just have not been using that much lately. I think you would like the CdP Radiant Cream to powder but not necessary to run out and get it -when you already have so many good ones. xoxo
Hello,beautiful Abby!If you compare the Chantecaille Future Skin Gel Foundation to the Sublimage Le Teint Foundation, which one would you choose if you had to?!Thanks for helping me decide what to purchase/repurchase!I really love the Sublimage though!😊Have a great weekend!xoxo, Steffi 😘
Oh, how I love everything Chantecaille. I’m Porcelain in Future Skin, and I fear I’m running low. That could set off a panic button.😬 To stretch out Future Skin, I’ve been using Chantecaille’s Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer, but the lightest shade, Alabaster, runs a bit dark on me. I think it might oxidize a bit? I’m not sure, but I’m mixing a little Glo Solar Shade SPF to lighten it. If anyone uses Chantecaille’s Future Skin in Porcelain, and also uses Tom Ford’s Traceless Foundation Stick, I’d love to know what TF shade is your match. Thanks, you guys are all awesome. Abby, you aren’t a day over 25! Wrinkles? No way, girl. 😘 I’m loving your picks, and I’d like to experiment a bit ...particularly with something more travel friendly.
Tammy- I think I NOW feel the same way about that foundation. I just LOVE IT! I have not found the perfect match in the Just Skin either. BUT I do think thinning out the FS with the GLO SKIN is a good idea..... I hope someone pops on and shares their TF Stick color with you! And as always - THANK YOU!!! xoxo
I am going out next week for samples. I am looking for new ones to try. I don’t own any luxury brands. I don’t know which one I should get first. Ha ha. I’m dry just a little. Normal skin. I trust all your recommendations tho.
Louise- I would see if you can do a little swoop through the cosmetics department and get samples of a few of them - specifically- Chantecaille- since I am obsessed with it and then report back and see which one might be the winner! LOL! I am a big believer of getting SAMPLES because I hate doing returns and would rather be happy with my purchase than have regret and have to return. Keep me posted. xoxo
One gel based “foundation” I didn’t get the hype either until recently is Bareminerals Complexion Rescue - I never thought it did anything and felt it would be greasy but I was shocked at how much I LOVE it. It sounds like the second one you mentioned. It looks like I’m not wearing anything but my skin looks good, and I have hyperpigmentation and scars. I don’t even need that much concealer. Have you tried Bobbi Brown serum foundation? It reminds me of the Tom Ford one.
Wendy- I have got to try that Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue again! That is another one I did not get the HYPE and bought several colors and did not like it but I bet I would now. I have use the Bobbi Brown Serum foundation but for some reason there was an ingredient that made my face red.-- I could not figure out the ingredient but loved the finish of it. Very similar to the TF. xoxo
Isn’t it fun when we forget how old we are lol! Love your choices, I am pretty much liking all of the ones you named. I’m surprised that you haven’t tried (I don’t think so?)....the LaPrairie Essence in foundation. I love that stuff a lot. That sweater looks fabulous on you. You certainly are breaking out of your comfort zone. I’m still stuck....cannot get past black/grey😳. Xx Elaine
Elaine- yep! I had to laugh when I was editing this video because I was like-- you are 51 not 50 - lady! AND I know- the La Prairie fragrance irritates my skin - so I have been dying to try that one but know from my Caviar one that I can only wear it for a day or two before my 'bumps' arrive. Maybe this is a good problem? Saving me money! And yes- I decided to break out the red and wear a reddish lipstick. HOLY MOLY!!! Don't worry- I will be back to my black and grey tomorrow. xoxo
Cle de peau radiant foundation used to be my fave until I started using TF stick one. Now I switch between Sisley and Chantecaille. I do agree with you that less is more on mature skin.
In addition to the Tom Ford stick, Chantecaille Future Skin, Chanel Les Beiges Eau De Teint, the Sisley Phyto-Teint Ultra Eclat, one of my favorites is Dior's Capture Totale Fond De Teint Serum Correcteur 3D Rides-Taches-Eclat Foundation ($82). I've been loving your videos and tried applying matte bronzer to the crease of the eye in the application of my Chantecaille glittery eyeshadows. What a difference it makes. Thanks so much for the tip. By the way, I love the sweater you're wearing.
THANK YOU! I am so glad that tip worked for you and it really does make a huge difference. AND I have been wanting to try the Dior Capture... I was worried about the fragrance but have heard AMAZING things about that foundation. UH OH... looks like I need to check that out ASAP. xoxo
Candice- I totally get it! I actually use it AS a foundation on it's own and definitely feel like it is EXTRA to use it under another foundation but since I own it - I have tried it and it works out great but I would not BUY it just for that purpose. xoxo
I also have that foundation and I don't like it that much. It does not have SPF so that is an issue for me also. I just wanted to try it and now that I have I won't be repurchasing it.
Bought Chantecaille following your previous review, it looks amazing, so happy! Will continue to follow you as I have rosacea skin, so always looking for advice. Great channel, thank you!
Hi Abby, I think I now own all of these foundations (thank you very much) 😂 If you get a chance try the Stila hide and chic. The price point is awesome and it looks great on the skin I was actually very surprised how good it is. I love your videos and look forward to watching them. BTW, your subtitles were hilarious today.
OH BOY! Is this something I need to know about. Do I have a weird subtitle setting on?? AND yes, that STILA is on my list to try!! I will get on it. xoxo
No I guess subtitles wasn’t quite right I should have said commentary editing. I liked that you said you keep forgetting you’re not 50. I do that too. I guess in my mind 50 is as old as I’m getting. These additional birthdays don’t seem to attach 😂
@@theginger8855 OH GOOD!! I thought maybe I hit some weird button and had weird subtitles. And yes- I still think I am 28 for some reason but I am 51. LOL! I think once you hit 50 you don't need to worry about your next birthday until 59.... how does that sound?
Hello again, just an FYI, I originally said the Stila oxidized but funny thing, I haven’t been noticing it with further use. So now I’m just not sure, maybe I didn’t shake it enough. hopefully you can find the perfect shade though because I’m really enjoying it.
Hi Abby! I just came across this video on your fave foundations. I bought the Chantecaille foundation in Ivory when you sponsored a free gift promotion from the company quite awhile ago. I must say I love love love this foundation. I was not expecting to like the thicker gel formulation as much as I do, but it seems to keep me from using too much. I use a Qtip to get it out of the jar. I love the coverage, it doesn’t cake, doesn’t settle into my wrinkles, goes on smoothly and oh my, the color match on me is truly perfect. I will definitely repurchase. I will have to try the Surratt now!
Hi Abby, thank you for the video. I’ve been thinking of trying the Chantecaille for a while. Can you tell me why the foundation didn’t work for you initially please? X 🇬🇧
Hey sweetie..it's always good to see what foundations work on other mature ladies..I have been branching out into luxury, that Cle de Peau is gorgeous..I love your high end channel..:)
Hi Abby! Thanks for info! I was just about to order Guerlain L'Essential . Have you tried that? Also....just curious what you thought of Biologique Recherche Le Grand Serum? Thanks, Kathy 😘
Kathy- that is another really great foundation. IT is definitely skin-like and glowy. VERY PRETTY. My skin had a little reaction to something in it- not terrible - just not something I can wear everyday. THUS, the reason I did not include it in this list but I have fussy skin and have had this happen with Guerlain. I think it may be the fragrance... So far I am really liking the Le Grand Serum but need to use it a bit more to give a full thumbs up and say it is worth the $$$. I hope this helps on both fronts. xoxo
I'm super oily, but I love radiant foundations!!! The trick is to buy the gel formulations that are oil free, which is why I love the Chantecaille, Surratt, and Chanel Les Beiges!!!! The water gels, which is also the type of day moisturizers I use, actually keep me from getting so oily!!! I still get oily, but it turns into a beautiful smooth radiance rather than a thick, uneven, lumpy layer of thick grease (which my other oily girls know exactly what I mean by🤣🤣🤣). I'm happy with my oily skin, I think it looks beautiful and radiant..........when it is CONTROLLED!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is so GOOD to KNOW! I remember you telling me you have oily skin and love it- so this is fantastic INFORMATION!! You should love your oily skin-- I wish I had it! I am actually looking forward to humidity -if we actually pull the trigger on moving to New Orleans. I am sure I will have to find a WHOLE NEW regime and makeup. LOL!
So excited for this video. I love the Chantecaille foundation. Have you tried mixing the Vanilla with the Alabaster? Now I want to try the Tom Ford. I'm a foundation junky. :-)
Linda- I have but was not loving the Vanilla pulling it a bit peachy. I think I prefer the Alabaster with a pump of Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi--- I have a video coming up tomorrow showing that. xoxo
Love your videos, Abby! Thanks for sharing. I actually love all the ones you suggested, except I haven't tried the Surrat. Unfortunately for me, my favorite foundation is Cle de Peau's "The Foundation". Like an idiot, I knew I should not have tried it because I am so hooked. Now I compare all foundations to that one......sigh!
Catherine- I laugh because I went to pick that up and then they did not have my color in stock and I walked away and decided I DID NOT Need it.... and I feel like I dodged a bullet. LOL! We shall see how long i hold out.... xoxo
My most repurchased foundations are La Mer Soft Fluid for my 12 hour work days; finishing up a bottle before I open the compact version I purchased, as well as Armani Luminous Silk. I'm working through what must be my 6th bottle of that and forcing myself to finish it before I go hard with the Dew Drop, which I have worn just a couple times. I enjoyed the Chanel just okay; plan on bringing it on my winter vaca next month so another chance for it to wow me. Haven't tried the Cle de Peau Cream to Powder, but do get a lot of use from The Foundation by Cle de Peau during winter months. I really want to try the TF stick, but have been holding off until I can get color matched in person. Wonderful video!
K B- those are ALL good picks!! I definitely think the key to any good foundation- is the color match! The Dew Drop's are so good and I do think you would like both the Cle De Peau Cream to Powder and the TF Stick-- because we seem to like the same foundations. THANK YOU for watching. xoxo
I really liked this video but then I enjoy your channel so that’s nit a surprise. I have bought both the Chanel s d TF stick based on your recommendation. Love both. I also really like Armani luminous silk. How would you rank Chantecaille , Suratt, and TF soleil flawless glow? Thanks!
Thank you, Kathyrn! I go through phases but right now I would say Chantecaille is No. 1 - then it is a close tie with Surratt and TF Glow. Surratt probably second. I hope this helps. AND Yes, I do love the Armani Silk but had trouble finding the right shade - so don't wear it at much due to that. Something is just a little off.... xoxo
I picked up the TF Flawless on line at a discount at TF and it's very, very pretty on my 59 year old dry skin... will save it for special outings vs. wearing it daily nursing... thank you for this vid Abby!
Great video!! It's great to see more options for mature skin (although my wallet my disagree). I've been using the Armani Luminous Silk but have been looking for something more natural and easy to apply. The Chanel and Tom Ford look really intriguing. Thank you!!
Luv your channel, Abby. Thnx so much for doing the legwork for me on finding great products. I’ve tried several products on your recommendation and they are, without fail, as great as you say. For instance, the TF Traceless stick is my new go-to foundation. Keep the videos coming, and thnx again!
Hi Abby, I'm not sick of the Chantecaille yet. I still have my old jar, but I really can't use it because it's probably too old. I just save it for color reference. At the time I bought the Camomile, because it is light but has the yellow undertone. I like it because it cancels any red I have and seems to be very forgiving. I just placed an order for the Guerlain L'Essentiel in 02n using my $20 off from Sephora. There's probably a better color match, but I don't have the opportunity to try them on in person. I had a sample of it and I thought I looked good, so maybe I just got lucky color wise. Hope it wasn't just in my own head. I'll find out once I get it and wear it a few times. I am surprised that you wear such a dark shade in the Tom Ford. I have been looking at the swatches and your color 4.5 seems so dark. I want to buy it so bad, but still confused about my color. I'm thinking either Fawn or Pale Dune.
M Wall-- I was matched to 4.5 during the SUMMER - so I could need a lighter shade than I have currently. This one is tricky- because I remember 4.7 pulling sort of grey.... Next time I am in Nordstrom - I will check out the shades again. And I think the 2n sounds like a great match for the Guerlain. Ahh.. the joy of finding the right shade!! LOL!
I bought the Chantecaille foundation last week based on your earlier recommendations, and I love it! I have the Tom Ford Traceless stick, it I have a little trouble with it. Can I ask what primer you use, and if you apply with a brush, or a dry or damp sponge? Thank you.
YAY!! I am so glad you love the Future Skin! So with the TF STICK- I do like use the TF Illuminating Primer first (but not always) and then I like to use a dense kabuki brush to buff it into my skin really well. I do have some past videos using the foundation but I will do a new one for you! I hope this helps. xoxo
Hi Abby - I am 58 yrs old and a few months ago I did a Google search for the best foundations for mature skin. The Future Skin was listed. I gave it a try and really loved it. I agree...can be very messy. I use a small makeup spatula to place on the back of my hand to apply from. Don’t really dig placing my brush or sponge into the container.
I am bored with my foundations. I am thinking Chantecaille moussey formula. I usually war La Mer or Guerlain. Maybe Sulawasoo or La Prairie. We are the same age and skin tone and I am normal to dry.
Hi Abby 💕 I am back to using the Tom Ford lightweight sponge Foundation that came out in the Spring and has spf. I like as much spf as I can get anywhere I can get it. ~ Charli 🌸
I agree about the TF stick as my Holy Grail. Thankfully, I was able to get matched while I was on a trip to Chicago. I live in Arkansas, and I only have a Chanel counter near me. I would love to try the other brands, but I’ll have to travel to get a sample. Ordering foundation online is so difficult in regard to shade range.
Tonya- I totally agree! I have ordered so many foundations online but luckily - I can return them. I will definitely try to do more swatches but even that is hard to ascertain online. I am so glad we both love the TF STICK though. xoxo
Hi Abby, thank you so much for this great review of your current favorite foundations. Totally agree with the Tom Ford traceless stick, every time I use it I feel my skin looks very nice, it is also my HG, I love it!. I also love the TF traceless perfecting foundation, I use it a lot on a daily basis to go to the office, is light to medium, simple to apply and looks natural, I love it. Another love is the La Mer soft fluid, it is amazing, I have also dry skin and this looks like velvet, so nourishing and comfortable. Another of my favorite is the Guerlain lingerie de peau, not sure why but looks beautiful, is the kind of foundation that I never go wrong with it. My last favorite is the new Sisley, I love it cause looks very natural and lasts very well during the day. I need to try the Chantecaille and the Tom Ford Soleil, very curious now, will ask for a sample. Thanks a mill! 😘😘❤️
Sara-- I have used Lingerie de Peau in the past and loved it! Thank you for the reminder- i might want to try that again. AND yes, love the La Mer- I just need to get a winter color and of course, love that Sisley as well!!! So many good foundations. YAY!!
Hi Abby. Great video and love the new beginning font to your channel. My present faves are the Chantecaille and the Surratt. I use the Chanel water tint underneath. I have not tried the Tom Ford stick foundation yet but it’s been on my list for ages but something else has always taken my fancy more. It’s now in my local store so will try a sample.
Thank you Amanda! Love your picks and you can eventually get around to the TF Stick but the allure of new is always there. Let me know what you think if you do get a sample. xoxo
Great video! My list is similar but I would add the newest Sisley. I noticed your note about people mentioning the scent as I can barely smell a thing.
Tricia- yep- that was a hard one to cut for me! I love it but finding the right shade can be difficult and I know some thought it smelled musky.. I don't smell it much either and do love that one! SO good!!! Hope you are well. xoxo
Fun video Abby! I recently pulled out the TF soleil foundation and remembered how much I like it. Totally agree with you on the TF stick as well. I'd round my top 5 out with the Surratt dew drops, the La Mer, and the new Sisley. The other day I wore the Chanel water tint under the Sisley and it added a nice glow and more hydration.
Yep- if I have a top 8 - the La Mer and Sisley would be included! I love those so much and now I have to try the Chanel Water Tint with the Sisley!!! Thank you for the tip Alisa! xoxo
Hi Abby - you look amazing as always! I love foundation so this video speaks to me. I’m enjoying the Chantecaille Future Skin that I bought at your suggestion, and also LOVE the Sisley Phyto Teint. I also really like the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless foundation, especially as a concealer. It’s so long lasting that I find it works well for covering trouble spots! ❤️
Oh yay! So glad you are a fellow foundation junkie! I love the Sisley too and that almost made the list but I know a few people had issues with the scent in that one-- although natural-- I may have the try the CT Airbrush again. That one did not work for me but I also got the wrong color - so that makes a HUGE difference. xoxo
It’s hard to figure out your shade match on that CT foundation but chose my Magic Away concealer shade (2) and that worked! I also use waaay less than one pump and sheer it out so that it’s not full coverage ❤️
I too have purchased Future Skin multiple times over the years and have not liked it. At your urging, I’m giving it another try and will be surprised if I don’t fall in love with it this time because it seems like lately, everything that works for you, works for me. I’m curious, how do you apply it? With a brush, sponge, fingers? Do you use a primer? If so, what works best? Thanks Abby - I’m really enjoying watching your channel grow!
Hello Gina! So nice to hear from you! So I find it is best to stipple it on with a brush- I use my It Cosmetics Heavenly Complexion Brush. You don't want to use a sponge because that will suck up too much product. Fingers work too. I used the Victoria Beckham Primer today but most days I have not. You don't need it. I hope this helps and thank you for your support! xoxo
@@ginaswartzendruber5605 I love that!!! My husband asked me when I am going to go ALL Gray and I told him I love the look but I still think I am 28 - so give me a few more years. LOL! Thank you for sticking with me. xoxo
Hi Abby, thank you for sharing your favorites and hi from the Netherlands😁 Can you share how to prep the skin for the Surrat dew drop foundation? I have and love it after your and Michele recommandation. The only thing I need help with is prepping, I am dry to. Thank you and kind regards Dayenne 🤗
Hello Dayenne from the Netherlands! As far as prepping - when I am extra dry I like to layer hydration so I first cleanse, exfoliate with Lotion P50 V 1970, then add an ESSENCE to hydrate, then use a hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid, moisturizer, then SPF. By that point my skin is feeling pretty prepped for and ready for the SURRATT Dew Drops. Let me know if this helps or is too much. xoxo
@@dayennesmits5559 oh good! Skip that and I would add in an essence to sort of layer the hydration on! That seems to help me! I too have dry skin. xoxo
I have this year’s version of that sweater and I’ve been looking for blush and lipstick to compliment it. Are the ones you have on favorites to wear with it, or would you suggest something else. These colors look wonderful on you.
Hi Abby. I was able to get 2 nice samples of the Chantecaille future skin foundation in 2 shades. I also got 2 samples of the Cle de Peau, The foundation as well, in Nordstrom today. I can’t wait to try these! The SA in Nordstrom is the absolute best! In another store they wouldn’t give me a sample but applied a shade way to light on me, then bronzed it up with powder. So, I can’t wait to try these new shades. I have the Surret dew drop foundation, and I absolutely love it! This was a new purchase. I even like it better than the new Laura Mercier luminous foundation. Sometimes I feel like the LM caked up on me in spots. But, the dew drop, I think is HG right now! I need to find a foundation or tinted moisturizer with spf now, since we moved here to S. Florida Again, great review as always. And, I love the red sweater on you.
Hello Janice! I would love to hear what colors you got and which ones are the winners in both foundations.!! I am so glad you got a good SA! Nordstrom is the BEST. Have you tried the Alastin Hydra Tint SPF 36? I almost included it in this video but the shade won't work for everyone- but it is FANTASTIC. I bought it at my dermatologist's office and really love it. THANK YOU!!!
Hi Abby. Well, I found that the Cream was the right color in the Chantecaille Future Skin foundation. However, the Cle de Peau The Foundation was absolutely beautiful on me! So much so, I had several compliments on my skin the night I wore it, even my husband, was like Wow! He told me that I look so glowy and beautiful. Did I or am I using something different on my skin. A friend wanted to know too. I told him, & said it’s just so crazy, crazy expensive. Guess what, he ordered it for me for Christmas! And the shade O40 is the most perfect match as well. I can’t believe he got me this super pricey foundation. I have really dry skin. I will definitely check out this tinted spf moisturizer you suggested. Thanks so much Abby!
@@janicecroissiert9116 I LOVE THIS STORY!!! This makes me so happy. That is a gorgeous foundation and if you find the right shade then it is PERFECTION. I just love the fact that your hubby ordered it ASAP for X-mas!! This makes me so happy! Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas!!
Not surprisingly- I have most of your favorites and they are my favorites too😘 I also include La Mer in my top foundations- it’s not quite as dewy but it just does something special to my skin and it’s my most long lasting. My holy grail for years was Cle de Peau Silky Cream foundation which was discontinued. I was devastated and stocked up and have one tube left. I tried the radiant one several times to replace it but it just somehow misses for me. My second tier fav foundations are the cleaner ones- Ilia, Osmosis and Kjaer Weis. I find I’m wearing them less and less though. XOXO
Marjorie- I agree- I think we have the exact same taste in makeup. I love the LA MER but need to find the right shade-- 150? I have to be twinning with you. LOL ! I hate it when companies discontinue TRUE LOVES! And yep- I have your Tier II- foundations too. I need to do a major cleanout of my makeup. Some need to go to a good home! xoxo
@@AbbyBlissWhite I agree about finding the right color with La Mer. I usually have either Natural or Neutral open and mix with Sand. I was at a counter recently so asked them to do an actual color match and the SA really struggled. They all looked pretty good, but non were a perfect match. They seem a little gray on me which reads cool.
@@cyan8181 YES- I love that foundation but don't have the right match. I have SAND which is tad dark. I had Neutral - but it was pulling gray but am thinking that Natural might be the right color or mixed with Sand. xoxo
Barbara have you tried the It Cosmetics Heavenly Complexion Brush? I LOVE THAT ONE!!-- go.magik.ly/ml/srns/ Let me know if you have tried it? Otherwise, I have heard great things about this one: go.magik.ly/ml/srnw/ xoxo
I bout the IT brush on Abby’s recommendation. Has been my favorite foundation brush since. It’s usually half the price on Amazon than in the store or online. That info was from Abby as well!! Love all her recommendations and have purchased many items based on them.
Abby I think you would love Armani designer lift! if you haven't try it yet. is my favorite, the skin look so glowy, is so light but high coverage, just amazing
@@AbbyBlissWhite I would love to see what do you think about it! I recommend you to try it with your biologique recherche creme, I found it to work wonders ;)
We seem to have really similar taste in foundations. The only one I've tried is the TF Traceless stick and I have 3 different shades lol I need to start wearing it again because I usually only reserve it for wintertime. I live in a really humid climate and have oily skin. I want to try the others you mentioned because I have had a feeling based on reviews that I will like them. I love water-based foundations like the MAC Face & Body. I also love a gel texture. Is it just me or does the Traceless seem more like a gel than a cream? It just seems lighter and more water-based than oil-based. I'll have to check the ingredients but the formula is beautiful either way.
I would agree with you that the TF seems to feel a bit more gel/cream like than other cream foundations I have used. I have two shades of the TF stick and want to get a 3rd so we will be twinning. LOL!! xoxo
@@AbbyBlissWhite lol I find the shades to be so beautiful too. I usually have a hard time finding matches but a number of the Traceless shades look great
I loved the Chanel and wore it all summer long. I ran out and really miss it. Love this video and all of your videos. Thank you for the wonderful info.
Thank you so much, Emily!! They still sell the Chanel - and I found it at Macy's and at Chanel.com. I think they need to make it a permanent part of their collection. xoxo
Hi Abby, I’ve got the Chanel and the Tom Ford stick per your reviews, love them both. It’s funny because I also tried and disliked the Chantecaille several years ago, maybe I need to give it another try. I just tried the Stila Hide n Chic and I’m actually really loving it. It brightens the skin, gives a very natural glow, and is longer lasting than most of my other foundations. I tend to break out easily and have had no issues as of yet. I will say I think the shades run a tad dark and oxidize just a little so I may return for one shade lighter. Thanks for offering us an overview of your current favs:)
Erin- I have heard amazing things about that foundation and need to go and get it ASAP. Thank you for the tip about it oxidizing!! I will pick up a shade lighter. AND yes- I can't believe how much I love the Chantecaille FS now. CRAZY!!! xoxo
I love your make up in this video!!! It looks incredible!
Thank you Alberta!!!
Hi Abby! As soon as you pulled out the TF Stick I thought "I really need to wear that tomorrow"! Lol I totally agree with all your choices although I would add the Estee Lauder Perfectionist, it gives the most beautiful finish ever. I have so many foundations (like I know you do too) that they are all my favorites when I'm wearing them! How's that for an answer? Lol They are all my children and I LOVE them all! xxoo
I love your ANSWER!!! We are the same - my friend. xoxo
@@AbbyBlissWhite I'm SO glad!
Just found you and love your reviews. I tried Chanteicaille a few years ago and did not like it, not sure if it was the product or the price? I am retired and looking for something to use everyday that is a little more cost friendly....and suggestions? Thanks and keep on doing great reviews!
Thank you! Have you tried the It Cosmetics CC Cream? That is one I always have a tube of and it is easy to use, has SPF, and good coverage. I hope this helps. xoxo
Hi Abby!!! I already looooooove Chanel EAU de TEINT and the TF TRACELESS STICK 😍😍😍😍 so we have very similar taste on foundations 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and guess what... I ordered the SURRAT one like a week ago!!!! High hopes on that!!!! 😘😘😘😘 Thanks for your videos!!!! LOVE them!!!! 😉😉😉
THANK YOU!!! I am so excited for you to try the Surratt! I think you will love it. xoxo
@@AbbyBlissWhite 😘😘😘😘
Yes, I have had a love hate relationship with the Chantecaille Future Skin foundation. Years ago, I kid you not I bought it and took it back 3 or 4 times as you did. What makes the difference with your skin today? Would you mind showing us how you apply it please? I love and have most of the others you loved! Thank you so much for doing this video!! xoxo
Thank you Tanya! Yes- I have a video that I will hopefully get up today- using the Future Skin and showing you how I apply it. It is definitely a beautiful foundation with the right technique. Happy Happy Holidays, my sweet friend. xoxo
OK so first you DO NOT have wrinkles...I can't find one on your face. Loved this video which was so accurate and I must say that since watching your videos I have acquired all of those foundations except for the Cle de Peau cream to powder. I will go check that out the next time I go beauty shopping..lol I do love the Cle de Peau concealer and most things by them. I have been using the Chanel Vitallumiere Aqua this week and enjoying that which you also turned me on to. Like how light weight it feels.
You are the BEST Jill!!! You know I love the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua and wore that for SO MANY years. I still love it-- just have not been using that much lately. I think you would like the CdP Radiant Cream to powder but not necessary to run out and get it -when you already have so many good ones. xoxo
Hello,beautiful Abby!If you compare the Chantecaille Future Skin Gel Foundation to the Sublimage Le Teint Foundation, which one would you choose if you had to?!Thanks for helping me decide what to purchase/repurchase!I really love the Sublimage though!😊Have a great weekend!xoxo, Steffi 😘
Oh, how I love everything Chantecaille. I’m Porcelain in Future Skin, and I fear I’m running low. That could set off a panic button.😬 To stretch out Future Skin, I’ve been using Chantecaille’s Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer, but the lightest shade, Alabaster, runs a bit dark on me. I think it might oxidize a bit? I’m not sure, but I’m mixing a little Glo Solar Shade SPF to lighten it.
If anyone uses Chantecaille’s Future Skin in Porcelain, and also uses Tom Ford’s Traceless Foundation Stick, I’d love to know what TF shade is your match. Thanks, you guys are all awesome.
Abby, you aren’t a day over 25! Wrinkles? No way, girl. 😘 I’m loving your picks, and I’d like to experiment a bit ...particularly with something more travel friendly.
Tammy- I think I NOW feel the same way about that foundation. I just LOVE IT! I have not found the perfect match in the Just Skin either. BUT I do think thinning out the FS with the GLO SKIN is a good idea..... I hope someone pops on and shares their TF Stick color with you! And as always - THANK YOU!!! xoxo
I am going out next week for samples. I am looking for new ones to try. I don’t own any luxury brands. I don’t know which one I should get first. Ha ha. I’m dry just a little. Normal skin. I trust all your recommendations tho.
Louise- I would see if you can do a little swoop through the cosmetics department and get samples of a few of them - specifically- Chantecaille- since I am obsessed with it and then report back and see which one might be the winner! LOL! I am a big believer of getting SAMPLES because I hate doing returns and would rather be happy with my purchase than have regret and have to return. Keep me posted. xoxo
Which is better lurra marcier flawless lumiere radiance perfecting foundation or chanel les beiges water fresh tint?
Love your videos! Great reviews! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you Kim!!! xoxo
Can you do update video of your current top 5? Or has it changed? I really enjoy your channel!
You look absolutely gorgeous. BTW - you are my go-to for new makeup. Love your channel!
Thank you SO MUCH Stacey! This makes me so happy! xoxo
One gel based “foundation” I didn’t get the hype either until recently is Bareminerals Complexion Rescue - I never thought it did anything and felt it would be greasy but I was shocked at how much I LOVE it. It sounds like the second one you mentioned. It looks like I’m not wearing anything but my skin looks good, and I have hyperpigmentation and scars. I don’t even need that much concealer. Have you tried Bobbi Brown serum foundation? It reminds me of the Tom Ford one.
Wendy- I have got to try that Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue again! That is another one I did not get the HYPE and bought several colors and did not like it but I bet I would now. I have use the Bobbi Brown Serum foundation but for some reason there was an ingredient that made my face red.-- I could not figure out the ingredient but loved the finish of it. Very similar to the TF. xoxo
Isn’t it fun when we forget how old we are lol! Love your choices, I am pretty much liking all of the ones you named. I’m surprised that you haven’t tried (I don’t think so?)....the LaPrairie Essence in foundation. I love that stuff a lot. That sweater looks fabulous on you. You certainly are breaking out of your comfort zone. I’m still stuck....cannot get past black/grey😳. Xx Elaine
Elaine- yep! I had to laugh when I was editing this video because I was like-- you are 51 not 50 - lady! AND I know- the La Prairie fragrance irritates my skin - so I have been dying to try that one but know from my Caviar one that I can only wear it for a day or two before my 'bumps' arrive. Maybe this is a good problem? Saving me money! And yes- I decided to break out the red and wear a reddish lipstick. HOLY MOLY!!! Don't worry- I will be back to my black and grey tomorrow. xoxo
Cle de peau radiant foundation used to be my fave until I started using TF stick one. Now I switch between Sisley and Chantecaille. I do agree with you that less is more on mature skin.
All good picks!!! And yes- I am trying to embrace the less is more - thinking! A work in progress! xoxo
How do you apply the Chantecalie?
I’m currently wearing the Chanel Les Beiges and I touch up areas where I need more coverage with Chantecaille Future Skin. Works great!
That is a great COMBO Barbara!!! xoxo
These are lovely foundations and I own all of them except the Cle de Peau foundation. Great review. 😘😘😘😘
Thank you Lourdes! These are my current TRUE LOVES! xoxo
Great picks! My favorite ones are : la mer , Tom Ford stick, surrat dew drop , Sisley the new one, pat McGrath, and the chantecaille
EXCELLENT PICKS!! xoxo
I always love to hear about favorites. My current foundation favorites are Surratt Dew Drop, Guerlain L'Essentiel and the Westman Atelier Vital Skin.
All great picks Andrea!!! xoxo
I’m
So glad you mentioned Tom Ford! I’m buying it this weekend!!
YAY! Love me some TF!!! xoxo
In addition to the Tom Ford stick, Chantecaille Future Skin, Chanel Les Beiges Eau De Teint, the Sisley Phyto-Teint Ultra Eclat, one of my favorites is Dior's Capture Totale Fond De Teint Serum Correcteur 3D Rides-Taches-Eclat Foundation ($82). I've been loving your videos and tried applying matte bronzer to the crease of the eye in the application of my Chantecaille glittery eyeshadows. What a difference it makes. Thanks so much for the tip. By the way, I love the sweater you're wearing.
THANK YOU! I am so glad that tip worked for you and it really does make a huge difference. AND I have been wanting to try the Dior Capture... I was worried about the fragrance but have heard AMAZING things about that foundation. UH OH... looks like I need to check that out ASAP. xoxo
I love the future skin too, it seems to be the only foundation that works for me. I haven't found anything else close to it.
Julie- it is SO good! I can't believe it! xoxo
Abby I totally love your recommendations, but I can’t see spending $65 for a foundation that can be used under a foundation. Just saying
Candice- I totally get it! I actually use it AS a foundation on it's own and definitely feel like it is EXTRA to use it under another foundation but since I own it - I have tried it and it works out great but I would not BUY it just for that purpose. xoxo
I also have that foundation and I don't like it that much. It does not have SPF so that is an issue for me also. I just wanted to try it and now that I have I won't be repurchasing it.
Bought Chantecaille following your previous review, it looks amazing, so happy! Will continue to follow you as I have rosacea skin, so always looking for advice. Great channel, thank you!
I have rosacea too plus I'm super oily and I absolutely adore the Chantecaille Future skin!!!!!
Woo hoo! This makes me so happy and I find it super soothing on the skin. I am so glad to have you here. xoxo
Hi Abby, I think I now own all of these foundations (thank you very much) 😂
If you get a chance try the Stila hide and chic. The price point is awesome and it looks great on the skin I was actually very surprised how good it is.
I love your videos and look forward to watching them.
BTW, your subtitles were hilarious today.
OH BOY! Is this something I need to know about. Do I have a weird subtitle setting on?? AND yes, that STILA is on my list to try!! I will get on it. xoxo
No I guess subtitles wasn’t quite right I should have said commentary editing.
I liked that you said you keep forgetting you’re not 50. I do that too. I guess in my mind 50 is as old as I’m getting. These additional birthdays don’t seem to attach 😂
@@theginger8855 OH GOOD!! I thought maybe I hit some weird button and had weird subtitles. And yes- I still think I am 28 for some reason but I am 51. LOL! I think once you hit 50 you don't need to worry about your next birthday until 59.... how does that sound?
Hello again, just an FYI, I originally said the Stila oxidized but funny thing, I haven’t been noticing it with further use. So now I’m just not sure, maybe I didn’t shake it enough. hopefully you can find the perfect shade though because I’m really enjoying it.
Hi Abby! I just came across this video on your fave foundations. I bought the Chantecaille foundation in Ivory when you sponsored a free gift promotion from the company quite awhile ago. I must say I love love love this foundation. I was not expecting to like the thicker gel formulation as much as I do, but it seems to keep me from using too much. I use a Qtip to get it out of the jar. I love the coverage, it doesn’t cake, doesn’t settle into my wrinkles, goes on smoothly and oh my, the color match on me is truly perfect. I will definitely repurchase. I will have to try the Surratt now!
Love your “rings in” expression.....it always makes me laugh🤣🤣🤣 (definitely in a good way!)
Hi Abby, thank you for the video. I’ve been thinking of trying the Chantecaille for a while. Can you tell me why the foundation didn’t work for you initially please? X 🇬🇧
How does these compare to Chanel vitalumiere velvet?
Also which do you not have to powder?
I started binge watching your videos with the start of the Chantecaille sale and now I can’t stop 😊! Wonderful video!
Hey sweetie..it's always good to see what foundations work on other mature ladies..I have been branching out into luxury, that Cle de Peau is gorgeous..I love your high end channel..:)
Thank you Robin!!! xoxo
Hi Abby! Thanks for info! I was just about to order Guerlain L'Essential . Have you tried that? Also....just curious what you thought of Biologique Recherche Le Grand Serum? Thanks, Kathy 😘
Kathy- that is another really great foundation. IT is definitely skin-like and glowy. VERY PRETTY. My skin had a little reaction to something in it- not terrible - just not something I can wear everyday. THUS, the reason I did not include it in this list but I have fussy skin and have had this happen with Guerlain. I think it may be the fragrance... So far I am really liking the Le Grand Serum but need to use it a bit more to give a full thumbs up and say it is worth the $$$. I hope this helps on both fronts. xoxo
I'm super oily, but I love radiant foundations!!! The trick is to buy the gel formulations that are oil free, which is why I love the Chantecaille, Surratt, and Chanel Les Beiges!!!! The water gels, which is also the type of day moisturizers I use, actually keep me from getting so oily!!! I still get oily, but it turns into a beautiful smooth radiance rather than a thick, uneven, lumpy layer of thick grease (which my other oily girls know exactly what I mean by🤣🤣🤣). I'm happy with my oily skin, I think it looks beautiful and radiant..........when it is CONTROLLED!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is so GOOD to KNOW! I remember you telling me you have oily skin and love it- so this is fantastic INFORMATION!! You should love your oily skin-- I wish I had it! I am actually looking forward to humidity -if we actually pull the trigger on moving to New Orleans. I am sure I will have to find a WHOLE NEW regime and makeup. LOL!
My favorite is Chanel Le Teint. I would love to try Cle De Peau and the TF stick foundations.
That is a great one too! Thank you for watching. xoxo
So excited for this video. I love the Chantecaille foundation. Have you tried mixing the Vanilla with the Alabaster? Now I want to try the Tom Ford. I'm a foundation junky. :-)
Linda- I have but was not loving the Vanilla pulling it a bit peachy. I think I prefer the Alabaster with a pump of Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi--- I have a video coming up tomorrow showing that. xoxo
Love your videos, Abby! Thanks for sharing. I actually love all the ones you suggested, except I haven't tried the Surrat. Unfortunately for me, my favorite foundation is Cle de Peau's "The Foundation". Like an idiot, I knew I should not have tried it because I am so hooked. Now I compare all foundations to that one......sigh!
Catherine- I laugh because I went to pick that up and then they did not have my color in stock and I walked away and decided I DID NOT Need it.... and I feel like I dodged a bullet. LOL! We shall see how long i hold out.... xoxo
My most repurchased foundations are La Mer Soft Fluid for my 12 hour work days; finishing up a bottle before I open the compact version I purchased, as well as Armani Luminous Silk. I'm working through what must be my 6th bottle of that and forcing myself to finish it before I go hard with the Dew Drop, which I have worn just a couple times. I enjoyed the Chanel just okay; plan on bringing it on my winter vaca next month so another chance for it to wow me. Haven't tried the Cle de Peau Cream to Powder, but do get a lot of use from The Foundation by Cle de Peau during winter months. I really want to try the TF stick, but have been holding off until I can get color matched in person. Wonderful video!
K B- those are ALL good picks!! I definitely think the key to any good foundation- is the color match! The Dew Drop's are so good and I do think you would like both the Cle De Peau Cream to Powder and the TF Stick-- because we seem to like the same foundations. THANK YOU for watching. xoxo
I really liked this video but then I enjoy your channel so that’s nit a surprise. I have bought both the Chanel s d TF stick based on your recommendation. Love both. I also really like Armani luminous silk. How would you rank Chantecaille , Suratt, and TF soleil flawless glow? Thanks!
Thank you, Kathyrn! I go through phases but right now I would say Chantecaille is No. 1 - then it is a close tie with Surratt and TF Glow. Surratt probably second. I hope this helps. AND Yes, I do love the Armani Silk but had trouble finding the right shade - so don't wear it at much due to that. Something is just a little off.... xoxo
I picked up the TF Flawless on line at a discount at TF and it's very, very pretty on my 59 year old dry skin... will save it for special outings vs. wearing it daily nursing... thank you for this vid Abby!
YAY! So glad you love it and thank you for watching Francesca!!! xoxo
Great video!! It's great to see more options for mature skin (although my wallet my disagree). I've been using the Armani Luminous Silk but have been looking for something more natural and easy to apply. The Chanel and Tom Ford look really intriguing. Thank you!!
Thank you for watching Tonya! I think you might like both of those if you like Luminous Silk. xoxo
Luv your channel, Abby. Thnx so much for doing the legwork for me on finding great products. I’ve tried several products on your recommendation and they are, without fail, as great as you say. For instance, the TF Traceless stick is my new go-to foundation. Keep the videos coming, and thnx again!
Ahh... thank you so much! This comment made my WHOLE DAY!! I appreciate your support. xoxo
Hi Abby, I'm not sick of the Chantecaille yet. I still have my old jar, but I really can't use it because it's probably too old. I just save it for color reference. At the time I bought the Camomile, because it is light but has the yellow undertone. I like it because it cancels any red I have and seems to be very forgiving. I just placed an order for the Guerlain L'Essentiel in 02n using my $20 off from Sephora. There's probably a better color match, but I don't have the opportunity to try them on in person. I had a sample of it and I thought I looked good, so maybe I just got lucky color wise. Hope it wasn't just in my own head. I'll find out once I get it and wear it a few times. I am surprised that you wear such a dark shade in the Tom Ford. I have been looking at the swatches and your color 4.5 seems so dark. I want to buy it so bad, but still confused about my color. I'm thinking either Fawn or Pale Dune.
M Wall-- I was matched to 4.5 during the SUMMER - so I could need a lighter shade than I have currently. This one is tricky- because I remember 4.7 pulling sort of grey.... Next time I am in Nordstrom - I will check out the shades again. And I think the 2n sounds like a great match for the Guerlain. Ahh.. the joy of finding the right shade!! LOL!
I bought the Chantecaille foundation last week based on your earlier recommendations, and I love it! I have the Tom Ford Traceless stick, it I have a little trouble with it. Can I ask what primer you use, and if you apply with a brush, or a dry or damp sponge?
Thank you.
YAY!! I am so glad you love the Future Skin! So with the TF STICK- I do like use the TF Illuminating Primer first (but not always) and then I like to use a dense kabuki brush to buff it into my skin really well. I do have some past videos using the foundation but I will do a new one for you! I hope this helps. xoxo
So many lovely choices!
Hi Abby - I am 58 yrs old and a few months ago I did a Google search for the best foundations for mature skin. The Future Skin was listed. I gave it a try and really loved it. I agree...can be very messy. I use a small makeup spatula to place on the back of my hand to apply from. Don’t really dig placing my brush or sponge into the container.
It really is so amazing!! And yes- I wish the packaging was less messy but still love it despite that flaw. xoxo
I am bored with my foundations. I am thinking Chantecaille moussey formula. I usually war La Mer or Guerlain. Maybe Sulawasoo or La Prairie. We are the same age and skin tone and I am normal to dry.
Dawn Princess- I am a wee bit obsessed with the Chantecaille. I have not tried Sulawasoo and I do have the la Prarie Caviar which is beautiful!! xoxo
Hi Abby 💕
I am back to using the Tom Ford lightweight sponge Foundation that came out in the Spring and has spf. I like as much spf as I can get anywhere I can get it.
~ Charli 🌸
OOH... those are awesome too!! Thank you for the reminder. xoxo
I agree about the TF stick as my Holy Grail. Thankfully, I was able to get matched while I was on a trip to Chicago. I live in Arkansas, and I only have a Chanel counter near me. I would love to try the other brands, but I’ll have to travel to get a sample. Ordering foundation online is so difficult in regard to shade range.
Tonya- I totally agree! I have ordered so many foundations online but luckily - I can return them. I will definitely try to do more swatches but even that is hard to ascertain online. I am so glad we both love the TF STICK though. xoxo
Hi Abby, thank you so much for this great review of your current favorite foundations. Totally agree with the Tom Ford traceless stick, every time I use it I feel my skin looks very nice, it is also my HG, I love it!. I also love the TF traceless perfecting foundation, I use it a lot on a daily basis to go to the office, is light to medium, simple to apply and looks natural, I love it. Another love is the La Mer soft fluid, it is amazing, I have also dry skin and this looks like velvet, so nourishing and comfortable. Another of my favorite is the Guerlain lingerie de peau, not sure why but looks beautiful, is the kind of foundation that I never go wrong with it. My last favorite is the new Sisley, I love it cause looks very natural and lasts very well during the day. I need to try the Chantecaille and the Tom Ford Soleil, very curious now, will ask for a sample. Thanks a mill! 😘😘❤️
Sara-- I have used Lingerie de Peau in the past and loved it! Thank you for the reminder- i might want to try that again. AND yes, love the La Mer- I just need to get a winter color and of course, love that Sisley as well!!! So many good foundations. YAY!!
Hi Abby. Great video and love the new beginning font to your channel. My present faves are the Chantecaille and the Surratt. I use the Chanel water tint underneath. I have not tried the Tom Ford stick foundation yet but it’s been on my list for ages but something else has always taken my fancy more. It’s now in my local store so will try a sample.
Thank you Amanda! Love your picks and you can eventually get around to the TF Stick but the allure of new is always there. Let me know what you think if you do get a sample. xoxo
Hi Abby! Great choices! I always trust your judgement and we have the same skin tone. I’m all for the glow!! Xoxo
Thank you Robin!!! I love that we are the same skin tone and that we both love the GLOW! Let me know if I am missing one to try?? xoxo
Love your recs! Thank you, Abby. Chantecaille Future Skin (1st) and Just Skin (2nd) are my favorites. Surratt Dew Drop & Surreal Skin (tied for 3rd).
LOVE ALL Of those MB!!!
I love your choices too and would add the Chanel sublimage too ! The TF cushion is lovely too for my normal to combinaison skin 🤗🥰
I love both of those too- Virginia! Great choices. xoxo
Great video! My list is similar but I would add the newest Sisley. I noticed your note about people mentioning the scent as I can barely smell a thing.
Tricia- yep- that was a hard one to cut for me! I love it but finding the right shade can be difficult and I know some thought it smelled musky.. I don't smell it much either and do love that one! SO good!!! Hope you are well. xoxo
Great video Abby. Your skin is looking so beautiful as of late. That sweater in red is looking gorgeous with your complexion!
Thank you so much Sue!!! I am so glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the kind words. xoxo
Fun video Abby! I recently pulled out the TF soleil foundation and remembered how much I like it. Totally agree with you on the TF stick as well. I'd round my top 5 out with the Surratt dew drops, the La Mer, and the new Sisley. The other day I wore the Chanel water tint under the Sisley and it added a nice glow and more hydration.
Yep- if I have a top 8 - the La Mer and Sisley would be included! I love those so much and now I have to try the Chanel Water Tint with the Sisley!!! Thank you for the tip Alisa! xoxo
Yep... I have all of those (I returned the Chantecaille though) and love them.
Stephanie - was the Chantecaille breaking you out? I think you told me that. That is a bummer! xoxo
Totally agree with your picks!!
YAY!!! Twinning!!! xoxo
Happy holidays Abby enjoy the family 💖💖
Happy Happy Holiday Ronni!!!
Hi Abby - you look amazing as always! I love foundation so this video speaks to me. I’m enjoying the Chantecaille Future Skin that I bought at your suggestion, and also LOVE the Sisley Phyto Teint. I also really like the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless foundation, especially as a concealer. It’s so long lasting that I find it works well for covering trouble spots! ❤️
Oh yay! So glad you are a fellow foundation junkie! I love the Sisley too and that almost made the list but I know a few people had issues with the scent in that one-- although natural-- I may have the try the CT Airbrush again. That one did not work for me but I also got the wrong color - so that makes a HUGE difference. xoxo
It’s hard to figure out your shade match on that CT foundation but chose my Magic Away concealer shade (2) and that worked! I also use waaay less than one pump and sheer it out so that it’s not full coverage ❤️
I too have purchased Future Skin multiple times over the years and have not liked it. At your urging, I’m giving it another try and will be surprised if I don’t fall in love with it this time because it seems like lately, everything that works for you, works for me. I’m curious, how do you apply it? With a brush, sponge, fingers? Do you use a primer? If so, what works best? Thanks Abby - I’m really enjoying watching your channel grow!
Hello Gina! So nice to hear from you! So I find it is best to stipple it on with a brush- I use my It Cosmetics Heavenly Complexion Brush. You don't want to use a sponge because that will suck up too much product. Fingers work too. I used the Victoria Beckham Primer today but most days I have not. You don't need it. I hope this helps and thank you for your support! xoxo
Thanks Abby - appreciate your valued advice so much. Looking forward to growing old and gray with you. Gracefully, of course! 😉
@@ginaswartzendruber5605 I love that!!! My husband asked me when I am going to go ALL Gray and I told him I love the look but I still think I am 28 - so give me a few more years. LOL! Thank you for sticking with me. xoxo
Hi Abby, thank you for sharing your favorites and hi from the Netherlands😁
Can you share how to prep the skin for the Surrat dew drop foundation? I have and love it after your and Michele recommandation. The only thing I need help with is prepping, I am dry to. Thank you and kind regards Dayenne 🤗
Hello Dayenne from the Netherlands! As far as prepping - when I am extra dry I like to layer hydration so I first cleanse, exfoliate with Lotion P50 V 1970, then add an ESSENCE to hydrate, then use a hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid, moisturizer, then SPF. By that point my skin is feeling pretty prepped for and ready for the SURRATT Dew Drops. Let me know if this helps or is too much. xoxo
@@AbbyBlissWhite thank you Abby! This helps enormous, can't use chemical exfoliation but can definatly tweek this prep for my skin 🤗
@@dayennesmits5559 oh good! Skip that and I would add in an essence to sort of layer the hydration on! That seems to help me! I too have dry skin. xoxo
Great video!
Thank you, Joy! xoxo
I have this year’s version of that sweater and I’ve been looking for blush and lipstick to compliment it. Are the ones you have on favorites to wear with it, or would you suggest something else. These colors look wonderful on you.
You look beautiful in red!
Thank you so much Kandy! I rarely wear red but decided to get into the HOLIDAY spirit!! xoxo
Great video Abby!
Thank you Myrna!! xoxo
Hi Abby. I was able to get 2 nice samples of the Chantecaille future skin foundation in 2 shades. I also got 2 samples of the Cle de Peau, The foundation as well, in Nordstrom today. I can’t wait to try these! The SA in Nordstrom is the absolute best! In another store they wouldn’t give me a sample but applied a shade way to light on me, then bronzed it up with powder. So, I can’t wait to try these new shades. I have the Surret dew drop foundation, and I absolutely love it! This was a new purchase. I even like it better than the new Laura Mercier luminous foundation. Sometimes I feel like the LM caked up on me in spots. But, the dew drop, I think is HG right now! I need to find a foundation or tinted moisturizer with spf now, since we moved here to S. Florida
Again, great review as always. And, I love the red sweater on you.
Hello Janice! I would love to hear what colors you got and which ones are the winners in both foundations.!! I am so glad you got a good SA! Nordstrom is the BEST. Have you tried the Alastin Hydra Tint SPF 36? I almost included it in this video but the shade won't work for everyone- but it is FANTASTIC. I bought it at my dermatologist's office and really love it. THANK YOU!!!
Hi Abby. Well, I found that the Cream was the right color in the Chantecaille Future Skin foundation. However, the Cle de Peau The Foundation was absolutely beautiful on me! So much so, I had several compliments on my skin the night I wore it, even my husband, was like Wow! He told me that I look so glowy and beautiful. Did I or am I using something different on my skin. A friend wanted to know too. I told him, & said it’s just so crazy, crazy expensive. Guess what, he ordered it for me for Christmas! And the shade O40 is the most perfect match as well. I can’t believe he got me this super pricey foundation. I have really dry skin. I will definitely check out this tinted spf moisturizer you suggested. Thanks so much Abby!
@@janicecroissiert9116 I LOVE THIS STORY!!! This makes me so happy. That is a gorgeous foundation and if you find the right shade then it is PERFECTION. I just love the fact that your hubby ordered it ASAP for X-mas!! This makes me so happy!
Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas to you too, Abby.
Not surprisingly- I have most of your favorites and they are my favorites too😘 I also include La Mer in my top foundations- it’s not quite as dewy but it just does something special to my skin and it’s my most long lasting. My holy grail for years was Cle de Peau Silky Cream foundation which was discontinued. I was devastated and stocked up and have one tube left. I tried the radiant one several times to replace it but it just somehow misses for me. My second tier fav foundations are the cleaner ones- Ilia, Osmosis and Kjaer Weis. I find I’m wearing them less and less though. XOXO
Marjorie- I agree- I think we have the exact same taste in makeup. I love the LA MER but need to find the right shade-- 150? I have to be twinning with you. LOL ! I hate it when companies discontinue TRUE LOVES! And yep- I have your Tier II- foundations too. I need to do a major cleanout of my makeup. Some need to go to a good home! xoxo
Abby -Same here- my Tier 3 and below are just collecting dust and will expire- time to give them up! ❤️
@@AbbyBlissWhite I agree about finding the right color with La Mer. I usually have either Natural or Neutral open and mix with Sand. I was at a counter recently so asked them to do an actual color match and the SA really struggled. They all looked pretty good, but non were a perfect match. They seem a little gray on me which reads cool.
@@cyan8181 YES- I love that foundation but don't have the right match. I have SAND which is tad dark. I had Neutral - but it was pulling gray but am thinking that Natural might be the right color or mixed with Sand. xoxo
I can’t find a foundation brush that I love. Any recommendations?
Barbara have you tried the It Cosmetics Heavenly Complexion Brush? I LOVE THAT ONE!!-- go.magik.ly/ml/srns/ Let me know if you have tried it? Otherwise, I have heard great things about this one: go.magik.ly/ml/srnw/ xoxo
Abby Bliss White oooh I haven’t tried it.
I bout the IT brush on Abby’s recommendation. Has been my favorite foundation brush since. It’s usually half the price on Amazon than in the store or online. That info was from Abby as well!! Love all her recommendations and have purchased many items based on them.
Barbara Muster thank you! I’ll look for it on Amazon.
The best of the best!! xo
Thank you for watching Stacy!!!
Twinning again! 👯
Love it!!! xoxo
Abby I think you would love Armani designer lift! if you haven't try it yet. is my favorite, the skin look so glowy, is so light but high coverage, just amazing
OOH.... Francisca- I have been curious about that one and wondered why nobody talks about it. Okay- I will have to give that one a go!! xoxo

I would love to see what do you think about it!
I recommend you to try it with your biologique recherche creme, I found it to work wonders ;)
@@francisca8026 I'm on it! Just trying to figure out the right shade.... the hardest part. xoxo
@@AbbyBlissWhite Abby our skin is close in color and I use the Armani lift in #5.
@@lindahopkins198 Do you love it, Linda? THANK YOU!!!
We seem to have really similar taste in foundations. The only one I've tried is the TF Traceless stick and I have 3 different shades lol I need to start wearing it again because I usually only reserve it for wintertime. I live in a really humid climate and have oily skin. I want to try the others you mentioned because I have had a feeling based on reviews that I will like them. I love water-based foundations like the MAC Face & Body. I also love a gel texture. Is it just me or does the Traceless seem more like a gel than a cream? It just seems lighter and more water-based than oil-based. I'll have to check the ingredients but the formula is beautiful either way.
I would agree with you that the TF seems to feel a bit more gel/cream like than other cream foundations I have used. I have two shades of the TF stick and want to get a 3rd so we will be twinning. LOL!! xoxo
@@AbbyBlissWhite lol I find the shades to be so beautiful too. I usually have a hard time finding matches but a number of the Traceless shades look great
