    Me too, Sheila! As someone who battled oily skin until I was about 45, the "dewy" look makes me feel like I've committed a make-up sin.

    I hadn’t seen this new product before. You did a great review! I agree with you. It looked too dewy. Thank you for letting us see how sheer it is. I like a medium coverage foundation.

    Bless your heart for trying SOME way to make this foundation work, my friend! You truly did give it a fair shake.
    I have to say your green-ish tee on day 2 is so cute! And your completed makeup looked just lovely each day!
    Thank you for keeping me company while I waited for Alex to get done with OT!

    Morning Tina! It did look quite glowy - your original Laura Geller is very beautiful on your skin - mind, you have beautiful, clear skin so you don't need a lot of coverage anyway. I've never tried Laura Geller products myself - not sure how easy they are to get hold of here in the UK, but I might take a peek!

    • @tinasbestmidlife

      Hi Dez! It's funny because I think that foundation would be really pretty on a 30 something and Laura Geller makes products for more "mature women"(why do I not like that phrase?? Lol!) I wonder if it is hard to get over there??
      Thanks so much for watching my sweet friend. Have a wonderful day!❤️

    Great review. And that's going to he a hard pass for me! With my oily skin, it would make me look like a disco ball and probably last 4 hours or less.
    And I'm so glad you addressed the amount you need to use to get the rated spf. I actually prefer my foundations to NOT include an spf.
    Thanks for saving me $17! Have a wonderful day!❤

      Thank you Tina! Not sure who would love this foundation?? Maybe a young women, which is odd being that Laura Geller really caters towards older women??

    Hi sweet Tina. I never even heard of this foundation. I'm not sure if I could use it, since it contains a chemical sunscreen in addition to the mineral sunscreen. I'd have to keep it very far away from my eyes.
    I like you, have very dry skin in the winter, and normal to dry in the summer. I'd probably use my Hourglass loose powder over it.
    It's very pretty on your skin. Did you use a primer? Lately, I've been forgoing primer.
    Ok. I see you are using one on your second day.
    I like a satin finish, but I'm finding that lately, a lot of new foundations are way too glowy. I don't want to look like a disco ball either.
    Thank you for reviewing this. I won't be trying it. I appreciate your honesty!
    Have a wonderful day. Love to you and precious Louie. 🩷💙😘

      Hi big sis! This one definitely was not right for me! I think I am liking a more satin finish as well. What hourglass powder is your favorite? I have the Ambient lighting and really like that one and because I like it so much, it makes me want to try more powders from them.
      Hope you are staying cool and having a great week! Until next time sweet friend😘

    • @reneklein6049
      @reneklein6049 Месяц назад

      ​@@tinasbestmidlifeI use just the loose powder from Hourglass. I think that there is only one. I usually buy the trial size from Sephora. There's a generous amount, and it lasts a good while. I normally only use it under my eyes. But if a foundation is too glowy, I'll lightly do the rest of my face. I heard that the Kosas pressed powder is also a good one. It's probably a lot less money!
      I hope that your week is going well. I think it's your volunteer day. Hope you find some great stuff! Enjoy! Hugs.🫂💞

    Thank you so much for the review! This is surely a product I would’ve been tempted by since I also love the Laura Geller baked balance and brighten powder foundation… Which is really too bad because I love the idea of a serum foundation. Do you have any reviews of other serum foundations that you have absolutely loved?

    To be honest, this one is not a winner for me. I just think it is just too shinny for me and I don’t like to wear a powder. On my skin I think a powder makes me look older. I definitely don’t like that tacky feeling on my skin either. I agree definitely not a natural finish more a glowy finish. I didn’t think the coverage at the end of the day was great. I think I am old school and it used to be shinny not glowy and shinny was not good. I am not used to the new glowy look. I am more of a matte girl. LOL

      Good morning Sheila! I would have to agree with you. This one was just not for me. Boy! When makeup is too shiny or glowy, it really accentuates every thing wrong on your skin! Lol!
      Hope you are having a great week!!❤️
