I’ve been trying this out this week and noticed it wasn’t on the maybelline site too, so strange how Amazon has the full range already! I LOVE this, for the price I think it’s exceptional. Makes my skin look flawless, feel silky and look healthy. I put CT magic cream followed by NYX marshmallow primer underneath. I powder it and use setting spray and it’s not transferring. I’m tempted to try the L’Oréal one now after watching this. Thanks for the advice ❤
Hi Gemma! I love the look of Maybelline most. I love the flawless look it gives and that alcohol gives you that long wear. I had super oily skin when I was younger and Revlon Color stay was my go to but it had lots of alcohol too. I guess everything is a trade off. Thanks for the great video as always!❤
Discovered L'Oréal True Match serum in the summer. Absolute game changer for my make up. I love this product, as I struggle to find a foundation that suits my skin tone, plus I don't like the heavy feel of foundation on my skin. I've recommended it to my girlfriends & will be wearing it for the rest of my life!! 😂
Hi Gemma, have you tried the Loreal true match super blendable foundation? Its vegan, alcohol free, oil free, fragrance free and non comedogenic. Definitely worth looking at. I find it very pleasant on my dry mature, menopausal skin.😊
I'm like you, the alcohol dries my skin out so this is a no from me. Just picked up the new sleek makeup foundation from boots and seriously impressed with the quality
I appreciate that you reviewed this as an everyday foundation. I watch foundation videos with thoughts of finding the one holy grail that I will use all the time. Now I know not to bother with either one of these. Thank you!
Hi Gemma, I've been reluctant to try the L'Oreal purely because of the high levels of alcohol. I will definitely not be buying either now so thank you so much for helping me make my mind up. As always amazing video. Be well. xx💖
As a teen I worked in my father's studio. He'd make me wear a heavy mask before I could work with the denatured alcohol. The thing is De-natured alcohol is so strong it's more violent than airplane glue. They must be able to remove the smell. I can't imagine. I don't care how good the foundation is I won't be putting that on my face. Thanks, Gemma
Thanks for the info on how strong denatured alcohol can be. When the Loreal serum foundation made my skin look dry/highlighted textured areas, I thought the alcohol was the problem. x
Denatured alcohol in cosmetics products literally evaporates from the skin. It doesn't even stay around. It lifts off and compresses the layer underneath it. Your comment is so biased towards your one anecdotal experience. You really think Maybelline and the others who use alcohol like this in their products don't know what they're doing?
Water is so strong, it can hollow out stone. The amount in this product would be small and the reason you had to wear a mask in a workshop would be , because you worked with it undiluted and breathing it in would be hazardous.
The Maybelline site has a good shade range, I've not seen the product anywhere else which is strange 😕 Thanks for the review & for speaking up about shade range ✌🏾
Love your eye makeup in this video, couldn’t find any details of what you’re wearing in your description box, would love a tutorial on it, also love your Chanel ❤️
I think the Maybelline side look nicer- more glowy in a nice way . Too high in alcohol for me. I tried the Iconic London skin tint balm and tbh not impressed, I will probably gift it to my friend. I've just order the Ultra Violet SPF foundation to try for spring summer use. Currently using the Eborian CC cream which has excellent coverage and some SPF.
Thank you for this review Gemma😊 Your skin looks gorgeous with either of the 2 products. The alcohol in the Loreal product seemed to be a problem ingredient for me, so I will skip this new Maybelline one x
What a thorough and thoughtful review! Thank you! (BTW, off the top of your head, what foundation do you think is the most skin-like with high-ish light or medium coverage?)
Not a foundation, its a tinted serum/skin tint. That's why some people over-estimate these, but you either love it or hate it. I'm beginning to love skin tint as I get older (only 36!) More than foundations as they just look more natural, "your skin but better" Great video though very informative and really enjoyed it
Recently I have tried a few new foundations including Charlotte Tilbury and Lisa Eldrige but still prefer Loreal True Match Nude Serum, it is the only one that does not sink into my pores and gives me a light coverage which I prefer. Was rather surprised that the more expensive ones just did not work for me. The other foundation I love is the Bourjois Healthy Mix. All other foundations accentuate pores and look a little drying around them, most odd.
@@tallisinwonderland4724 yes same for me too, have tried super moisterising face first but still the same, just accentuates all pores and texture and I am no longer a spring chicken!
@@tallisinwonderland4724 Good Morning, just to let you know I tried the LE foundation yesterday again but this time mixed it with moisturiser (1 part foundation 2 parts moisturiser) and it worked a dream. Light coverage which I personally like but maybe you could try 2 parts LE to 1 part moisturiser if wanting more coverage.
I guessed right....really surprised myself!!!!! I love the Loreal during the summer months. I live in Houston, TX and we are hot and humid....when I say HOT I mean HOT, at 100+ degrees for the past 30 days and 90% humidity. This Loreal foundation is the winner for staying put , it does not melt off my face. I've had "normal" skin all my life but am finding that, with age, I have drier skin during the winter months....I don't care for the Loreal during those cooler/drier months. I want to try to the Maybelline but I can't see that there is a really a good color match for myself, they lack 'nuetrals'.
I do think on camera that the Maybelline looks prettier, a little softer, with a prettier candlelight glow to it. You have to look close they both look good, but for me, I think the Maybelline looks the best.
they both look the same to me on camera I'm going to try both so I know which one to get when the weather gets warm tbh that's the only time I wear a skin tint thankyou Gemma xx
Hi Gemma,i have the loreal Light.I like it if i am gone for a view hours,but i have the same skintype as you,so every day is not a option.I am 54 and i like the langcome teint idole.Thank u and a nice weekend .
I like the Loreal True Match Nude on you better. It definitely looks more natural and seamless with the rest of your makeup. I too wish it came with a pump; I am not sure why Loreal (and now Maybelline) are going with the droppers because they inevitably make a mess at the opening of the bottle.
Hi Gemma! I watched the video twice but I’ve must I’ve missed it both times, did you try on the number 5 or the 5,5? I wear loreal very light, but I think I’m a shade (or two) darker than you and I need serious help with the shade choice since I have to buy online. Also, I prefer to apply the loreal one with a damp sponge, could that maybe help me get the Maybelline to not sit so much on the skin. The reason I ask is because I want a tad bit more coverage than from loreal but I still want the skin like look. And also, the Maybelline one is almost 50% cheaper than the loreal one where I live, so my budget wants me to try the Maybelline one😂😂
That's crazy cuz I just washed another tutorial on these same two products and the woman said the opposite of what you said she said the L'Oreal was thicker in the Maybelline was thinner LOL I guess everybody's different their opinions I guess it's what works for the customer but she did not mention alcohol I'm glad you did that may not go with my skin to well
I have tried a lot of foundations, both high end and drugstore. The L'Oreal True Match Plumping Serum is definitely my most used. I don't have sensitive skin and it's quite oily, so I find the alcohol in it to actually suit my skin. It's not heavy, looks super natural, yet covers imperfections well. I work in an environment where I meet a lot of people. I wear different foundations, but it's always when I'm wearing this skin tint that people comment on how great my skin looks. That tells me it's doing its job, so worth it for the price point. I'll maybe get the Maybelline just out of curiosity, but I love the sheerness of the true match.
I've been wanting to try the loreal but I thought I was between the first two shades and I'm not buying two and mixing, so I've given up. I like the regular true match though with the wide shade range. I'm currently using the Bobbi Brown Long Wear weightless foundation and that has a strong alcohol smell. I guess that's what gives it its longevity. I don't really need anything to last that long though. I like my 😴 too much.
I guessed correctly! 😁 They both look nice, though. I really wish they didn't have so much alcohol in them, though. :( I own the L'oreal one already, but my skin has been very sensitive lately so I haven't been using it.
I tried the L’Oréal one - I liked the finish but it started to sit in my lines and dried my skin out after wearing it for 2 days. I have combination skin and get quite shiny so I definitely wouldn’t recommend it to those veering on the drier side!
Firstly, I have to say how disappointed I am with the fact you didn't stay up the full 24 hours! 😂😜 I guess the alcohol is to give them the longevity. These types of foundations tend to be OK for occasional use, but then overtime can dry out the skin. I have to say, I like the Maybelline better, but I like a more flawless look. There's probably not a lot between the two really as regards ingredients as they are both made by L'Oréal. X
Ich kenne beide Produkte, sie sind sich sehr ähnlich, bei beiden steht denaturierter Alkohol ziemlich weit oben auf der Inhaltsliste, die von Maybelline riecht sehr stark nach Ethanol, der Alkohol ist erwiesenermaßen schädlich für die Haut. Auf Anfrage bei Maybelline habe ich keine Antwort erhalten. Für mich kein gutes Produkt.
Honestly, I guessed correctly - only because the Maybelline has a lighter colour (I think I cheated 😹). I couldn't really tell them apart. I'll stick to the Beauty Blender Bounce Skin Tint foundation, it's lovely on my dry skin and seems to last quite well. I swear you're aging backwards!! Obviously, you have fantastic/amazing genes, I mean, we only have to look at your gorgeous Mum to prove that point 😍 Lots and lots and lots of love to you (and your Mum, Jan 🥰🥰🥰) ⭐🧡💛🧡⭐🧡💛🧡⭐🧡💛🧡⭐🧡💛🧡⭐🧡💛🧡⭐🧡💛🧡⭐ PS : I spoke too soon (sinus infection) yesterday, I kinda nose dived after that (excuse the pun 🤪). xxx
In my opinion these 2 can't even compare, they're so different.. I'm 33 yrs old , i have oily skin and Maybelline was a complete disaster for me .. I'm so disappointed, because I bought it based on the amazing reviews. It looks and feels very heavy on the skin, it looks cakey even when is applied a very small amount, emphasizes every single imperfection .. dry areas , wrinkles, etc, disappears in certain areas . I tried this with primer, without, powder , without powder, brush , sponge, fingers.. it doesn't look good at all 😔 L'Oréal on the other hand, it looks like skin , very natural.. just perfection!
Can't find any details on your makeup in this video which looks gorgeous. Please can you let me know your brow products? I am really struggling to find brow products and have the same colouring as you. Also thank you for such a helpful review, I have same skin type and the L'Oréal can cling to my dry areas sadly. I prefer the Sisley skin tint but omg the price difference 😅 X
I really appreciate you mentioning essential oils, fragrance and alcohol for those of us who have sensitive and/or aging skin.
I love the L’Oreal one, so quick and easy to blend for a quick morning makeup application. Hate the dropper but have replaced it with a Niod pump.

Do they sell this in the UK?
I find that drying. It seems like a liquid to powder consistency.
I prefer the loreal tinted serum.
@@Beckface26yes

Do you know a foundation without alcohol or very low alcohol ? Thank you 😊
Oh my gosh, what’s on your lips? It looks stunning!!
As a teen I worked in my father's studio. He'd make me wear a heavy mask before I could work with the denatured alcohol.

Water is so strong, it can hollow out stone. The amount in this product would be small and the reason you had to wear a mask in a workshop would be , because you worked with it undiluted and breathing it in would be hazardous.
@@MsMooplewater can also klLL you if you drink too much. Water can be extremely dangerous if not handled properly.
The Maybelline site has a good shade range, I've not seen the product anywhere else which is strange 😕

Hi Gemma! Love the comparison videos always! Did you already compare the catrice to the loreal? They have a broad range but I havent tried it
I do think on camera that the Maybelline looks prettier, a little softer, with a prettier candlelight glow to it.
You have to look close they both look good, but for me, I think the Maybelline looks the best.
Great video, you skin always looks good, despite certain ingredients. May I ask: What have you used on your eyebrows. Thx
I would love to see your take on the New Catrice nude drop tinted serum foundation!! We love to find good drugstore products!
I have it. I’m trying it this week x
Can’t wait to see the Catrice review
they both look the same to me on camera I'm going to try both so I know which one to get when the weather gets warm tbh that's the only time I wear a skin tint thankyou Gemma xx
I appreciate you referring to the ingredients. I cannot have a drying foundation w alcohol in it.
Hey Gemma thank you for sharing both look very good
I have the L’Oréal see you soon ❤
Hi😊I thought the maybelline side looked better. Thanks for the comparison
What is your most favourite skin tint, Gemma?
Thanks for another great foundation test Gemma. Any chance of an honest review of the Merit complexion stick. Is it just TikTok hype ? ❤
Hi Gemma, great video!. Do you have any drugstore recommendations for a good affordable shampoo and conditioner brand?
Hi Gemma,i have the loreal Light.I like it if i am gone for a view hours,but i have the same skintype as you,so every day is not a option.I am 54 and i like the langcome teint idole.Thank u and a nice weekend .

Maybelline is owned by l'Oreal. Same components will keep the cost down.
Do you think these would mix well. Love the L’Oréal version but struggle with the colour match
On camera I like the Maybelline. But I trust and appreciate your comments. I still might try the Maybelline.
I really love them both also. I think I like the Maybelline a little bit more. It has a little bit more coverage and a little bit more staying power.
You are absolutely gorgeous 😍 I just love all your videos ❤
The Maybelline one tends to look more glowy, I like that. I don’t think they are for everyday use, especially if you have dry skin.
I can see a slight difference. But I'm not sure which is which. I would be guessing. But u look beautiful ❤️❤️
Amazon carries a pump for the L’Oréal serum in a set of 2. Maybe it would fit the Maybelline as well?
It does 😊 I use the pumps on both and they work great.
I love my L’Oreal one. Would like to try the maybeline but can’t work out what shade I need!
Hello Gemma, have you tried the L'Oreal eraser concealer in the pink shade 160?
I love both makes but you look good.

11 minutes in are the shade swatches and the info on which one suits me best x
I love the Maybelline and I do apply with a damp beauty blender. I’m 63 and have slightly dry skin. I prefer the coverage of the Maybelline.
I have the L'Oreal serum tint, and it accentuates my pores. I used it with the blur primer of the same brand, but it doesn't work. 😢

Pumps that you buy from Amazon do fit the L'Oréal probaly would fit that as well

Thanks Gemma 😊😊😊👍👍👍
thank you
This doesn’t seem to be available on Amazon in the US.
I believe it is x
Great compafison..will pass on both due to alcohol content.
I'm looking at the super stay ingredients on amazon and don't see alcohol listed. Please let me know which ingredient is alcohol. Thanks.
oops sorry I'm looking at the wrong product. I guess maybelline makes a superstay 24 hours that is not a skin tint as well as the skin tint.
TY ❤
Maybelline always stays on my skin great.
As ever, thanks for saving me $$. No denatured alcohol for me.
anyone tried the caprice serum foundation looks similar to these and its actually free from alcohol
I have it in my cart and should be receiving to soon x
I think left cheek has loreal. That's my guess.

right side is better!!!

DO NOT BUY MAYBELLINE…
You put too much foundation.
