I’ve always used drugstore makeup but at 55 I thought I needed to start using the better brands. I thought they would work better, but after half a dozen expensive purchases that were awful, I’ve decided to go back to the drugstore!
I’ve been using Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid but I think it’s being discontinued because I can’t find it! Now I’m trying different ones but haven’t found any I like yet. I might try the L’Oreal next. I hate having to get a new foundation. First you have to try to find the right color, ( and for some reason I can’t pick the right color anymore) then the right formula. It’s so hard!!
gosh, am I the only one who thinks her skin was more beautiful before putting on foundation? honestly, you have the most prettiest natural skin I've ever seen.
Believe it or not, but the lights that she uses actually blurs her skin. The lights are what's making her skin look so flawless when she is bare faced.
Not to say that her skin isn't beautiful.... I'm sure she has beautiful skin. I was only trying to inform. People see these videos and think that they can get their skin to look perfect like that if they use a certain foundation. But that's not the case. And then it ends up making us feel ugly. I usually only watch makeup videos from uploaders that use NATURAL LIGHTING. I promise you that her skin does not look like that when she steps outside.
It doesn’t matter what you put on your face Lisa-you are always beautiful-inside and out! I personally thought the L’Oréal color looked a little better on you. I always enjoy watching your videos due to the wide variety of content you have! 🥰🥰
Wow amazing. A rep at the Lancome counter told me that l'oreal is actually owned by Lancome, it's just their more affordable line. She said l'oreal products to well at the drugstore because they use much of the same ingredients that they market under the Lancome brand at a higher price.
Estee Lauder owns La Mer though? Or are you just sayin'? Actually there are basically a handful of companies that own the rest that we know and love (sometimes lol). I love Indie brands for that reason in addition to the fact some are just plain excellent. If you get too big the big guys are coming for you, i.e. Drunk Elephant.
Interesting article listing the companies under the corporate umbrellas of L’Oreal and Estée Lauder www.refinery29.com/en-us/beauty-brands-ownership-guide
La mer is hands down my favorite foundation. It last all day and doesn't move. It makes me look flawless. Yes, it's expensive but a little goes a long way.
The pro glow is one of my very favorite foundations. I can’t believe more people don’t rave about it. I find it very similar to my all time favorite GA luminous silk foundation. I only purchased it once and knew I had to find a cheaper alternative and the L’Oréal proglow and Flower Beauty foundations are the closest I’ve found.
Lisa, if I had your complexion, I would NEVER wear foundation AND I would wear a sign so everyone would know it’s my natural skin! 😉 Your skin is amazing. My hubby bought both sets of your BK brushes for my birthday and they arrived the day before! Yay! I was so hoping his back order was in the shipment you talked about getting in a recent video. Lisa, your brushes are superior to my very old and much loved MAC collection from France. I love every single one and feel beautiful using them. The KS necklace is a lovely bonus. Bless your sweet soul! 💜
I dug out my pro glow and wore it today after this video! i always forget how much I love it. loreal true match the old school one is another one of my all time favs. I've tried only a handful of high end foundations and none of them ever knocked my socks off enough to keep trying more. and I wana be blown away impressed when I'm spending alot of money on makeup bc drugstore stuff is fine for me!
Lisa your skin is absolutely beautiful! After you did half of your face I couldn’t tell a difference between the 2 sides. I got my BK face brushes last week, and I love them! So luxuriously soft and the handles are gorgeous! I’m hoping Santa will bring me the eye brushes 😍
I love the L’Oréal, La Mer is just to expensive. I’ve done this test with my daughter and she was amazed when she picked the low end L’Oreal over high end foundations.❤️❤️❤️
Hi, Lisa. Would you consider a video recommending certain stripe lashes for certain eye shapes or looks? I’m curious which brand/style of lashes you have in this video. They look exactly like your beautiful lash extensions. Thanks!
I actually like the L’Oréal side better, for my taste I mean. It does look glowy to me but it could be the lights. Thanks for doing this. I may go pick up that L’Oréal foundation today.
Great video Lisa! Your Your skin is simply gorgeous! While I can't afford the La Mer, the pro glow always ends up looking cakey on me 🤷♀️ I've tried using less product, using fingers, a brush, a damp sponge and it might look ok at first but after a few minutes it just ends up gathering and looking cakey. I am 44 with dry skin but I prep very well so I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to get a flawless (non-cakey) application? Thanks!
I loooove the La Mer foundation in the cold, winter months. I work long hours on the days I'm in the office and I need my foundation to last the 12+ hours I'm not home. In the summer I gravitate towards the It Cosmetics CC+. The La Mer is also my best color match of any foundation I've ever tried. I'll have to pull out my Pro Glow from my collection to see how it works for me. For the cost, there isn't a risk of money loss to me if it doesn't. I have sooooo many foundations it's gross and I'm trying to use them up but I could honestly throw all those 50+ foundations away and just keep La Mer and It CC+. But if I can find a drugstore alternative I'll be stoked! Thanks for the video!
👋Hi. I'm new to your channel. After raising 3 kids I'm having to relearn about makeup because what I wore 20 years ago is no longer working for me. I'm totally clueless, but your videos have been very helpful. Thank you! 💕
Lisa is definitely one to watch. She’s such a great teacher and so honest. Check out Angie Hot and Flashy and Stephanie Marie. You can’t go wrong with any of these three women. 🙂
I have heard the Physicians Formula Healthy Foundation-is a dupe for La Mer, I don’t have it but PF one is beautiful and it leaves my skin so fresh,healthy and minimal pores .
You saved me this weekend! I had seen this video at the gym during the week and there I was on Friday and didn’t realize that my Makeup Forever HD Foundation was on its final pump. I ran to the grocery store and picked up the L’Oréal Infallible Pro Glow Foundation. You are absolutely right, I love it!!!! What a nice finish and the coverage is great. Thanks Lisa!!
I love these dupe videos with a half face comparison. It’s very helpful. I did like the L’Oréal side better. I think the L’Oréal is a lot easier to travel with as well with the tube packaging.
Thank you for your videos. I use lots of your tips and suggestions! I honestly think the dupe side won. I will be trying the Loreal foundation for sure!
I can't believe it, the LaMer foundation has been one of my top three "holy grails" but this is amazing!! I will have to try the Loreal and see how it looks on my dry skin! Thank you so much for doing this comparison! xo
WOW....It's exciting to see a dupe for such a high end foundation. LaMer isn't in my budget but I've always wondered how it would look on my skin...I'm going to try the L'Oreal now. Thank you for doing this! Have a great week.
I think the L'oreal side looks better as far as coverage and color match. I'm digging out my tube of pro-glow so I can wear it tomorrow. Thanks for this great video Lisa!
Hi Lisa, I’m going to try the Loreal, the BK Beauty Brushes I purchased arrived so quickly and are so beautiful. They are a dream to work with. I love them so much they make such a difference in the makeup application. You did an amazing job with these brushes. It’s so obvious that they were designed by a makeup artist like yourself. You are amazing!!!
Thanks for the comparison!! I have been wanting to get a sample of the Le Mer but now will head straight for Loreal's product. Love your videos!!! Keep them coming. Happy Holidays to you and your family, Lisa.
I have to agree and for the price yes it’s a deal.......the right side does look to me smoother but not by much. I love your shirt makeup and nail polish 💅🏻 beautiful 😉 and I love how you compare and do these Tutorials, you rock Lisa!!! Thank you ☺️
Hi Lisa! Loved your video demonstrating a dupe to the LaMer foundation. I will certainly try it!! On another subject, I just received my BK foundation brushes. They are sooo soft. Thank you for making them for us. They certainly surpass any other brushes I have had. Just wanted to know, however, if it is safe to clean them with the IT Cosmetics brush cleaner or if I need to use a liquid cleaner. What do you recommend? I want to take really good care of these brushes. And, I think I’ll be coming back one day soon for the eye set. I don’t know why I didn’t get the entire set to begin with. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks again!!
Ok I continue to be amazed by drugstore options, I haven't used drugstore foundation for years and years , but after watching your video Lisa I went to my local Walmart and picked it up, first of all color is really good, I put it on and wow its really nice, I have struggled this past year to find a foundation that doesn't settle into every line and wrinkle. I have purchased many many foundations over this past year, anywhere from $35.00 to $60.00 , so this is a surprise to me that a $10.00 foundation is so far really good. I will continue to use it and see how it performs , Thank you Lisa for your video, (:
Great video! Love dupe videos. Pro glow is a favorite of mine, and it’s been sitting in my collection going unused. You’ve inspired me to pick it up again!
What a great video Lisa. Just proves you don’t have to spend tons of money on high end makeup. I have this L’Oreal and I find it a bit thin in consistency but it does a great job! I sometimes do mix it with another foundation to get a little more coverage
Thanks for this, while Le Mer was never on my list (budget shopper here) it was a fun video to watch. Also, more to the point you have amazing skin and are beautiful in your natural glory!!!
Lisa, this was very informative and helpful. I love the Pro Glow Foundation; it goes on smoothly and feels light on the skin and I don’t use much product. Both sides looked radiant and I could barely notice a difference but I feel the L’Oréal concealer gave a bit more coverage. I’m on my 2nd tube of the Pro Glow and am very satisfied with it. Thanks so much for doing this comparison Lisa; you chose the perfect dupe 😘
I really love that you and your friends show us more affordable. I have mature skin 58 and I need good skin care. Sadly they cost a fortune Thanks Lisa !! Love you
I’m almost out the door to buy the L’Oréal ProGlow foundation. I have been curious about the Lamer, but not enough to buy it, but this comparison has really made me want to try the L’Oréal. I like having a few different foundations to use and this one seems like a good one for a drugstore choice, because you like it, and I can always pretty much know I’m going to like the same ones that you like. I do question about a primer... any suggestions? LOVING my brushes! Much love from a loyal fan over in East Texas. ⚡️💖⚡️
Great comparison. I picked up the Koh Gen Do foundation on the recent Sephora sale. Think I finally found my holy grail foundation. I received my BK Beauty brushes on Thursday, as well as the Kendra Scott necklace. The brushes are phenomenal. And I can barely stand to take the necklace off at the end of the day. And they arrived in time for my birthday tomorrow. Thank you, Lisa.
The L'oreal side looked much better. It looked more natural, whereas the La Mer side looked a little more like a mask. I started using Pro Glow about two weeks ago and absolutely love it. It looks like your skin. So natural and very hydrating. 204 is my shade too. I just subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to your videos!
I like the LaMer side a bit better but I think it might have been that I liked that lighter color better on you. I tried LaMer about a year ago but I could never get past the distinct smell of that foundation. It bothered me all day, and I ended up throwing out the brush and beauty blender I used with it because I couldn’t get it out. It didn’t bother a friend with a less sensitive nose.
Love that L’Oréal foundation and I have used all of the higher end brands. Wish there were more shades so I usually mix it with some clarinet or Dior to get a warmer undertone.
Hi Lisa, i tried the La Mer foundation last year and ❤️ it......but it had this fragrance that i could not tolerate....it was really strong for me....can you tell me if it still has a scent? Thank you!
Hi Lisa, Thank you for another great tutorial! I must say that I like the L'Oreal finish best. Your skin is beautiful. I don't see any pores, lines or wrinkles! The luminosity is beautiful! Just had to purchase the L'Oreal and can't wait to try it! Much love, Sarah-Boston✨
It’s so hard for me to find my shade in L’Oreal. Everything looks too red on me. I use 118(light beige) in the maybelline fit me matte and poreless. It’s a little drying for me but I use it bc I kinda feel like maybelline has a better range for me.
@DMM-XOXO I wear the same shade in maybelline. You should try the Almay TLC foundation in buff. It has amazing staying power, the color is perfect, it’s luminous but not greasy annndddd TRANSFER PROOF!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Every foundation looks good if you have good skin and your skin is veeeeeeeeeeeery verrryyyyyyyyyyy_ beautiful you can use any foundation very luckey🤗🤗
Lisa, I like the L’Oréal Pro Glow Foundation. I think it looks just as good if not better than the high end. I am going to check out the L’Oréal pro glow foundation. I have not used that one yet. The dupe is a good one. I like your hair & the color. The color suits you. Thanks, Lisa.
I truly believe that the left side looks nicer. Both are beautiful, but I'm drawn to the inexpensive side. Lisa, have you tried the NYX Glow Foundation? It's incredible! ❤
Interesting video dear Lisa. I will try the drugstore option! I wanted to say that I use the Sisley concealer, and it's quite expensive, but it also take care of the skin, it's not just a make up! I don't know if you have used it? Which one would you recommend to a mature skin. Thankssss.
My go to was the L’Oreal Pro glow for a long time. Lancôme Renergie foundation is also very similar to the L’Oreal Pro glow. L’Oréal owns Lancôme so that makes sense.
YAY, indeed!!! I’m so excited to see this video. I already have the L’Oreal Pro-Glow foundation and hadn’t worn it in a while. Was just thinking about trying it again and low and behold I see this video. SO glad to see that it held up against La Mer. I agree with you that the L’Oreal seemed to work better to blur your pores. Having some friends over later and will definitely be pulling out the L’Oreal again. Great idea for a video. Thanks for doing it.
I have used both foundations and though I’m not sure if the ProGlow is a dupe, I actually prefer it to the LaMer, the LaMer really dried out my skin. Thank you 😊
This was a great tutorial for me and perfect timing. I am struggling to find a foundation that works for my dry, mature skin. Is there a primer you recommend for the ProGlow? Do you recommend using a primer with it to help it last? I want to minimize adding texture since I use a lot of moisturizer and also mineral sunscreen.
You've been blessed you have a pretty face and naturally having a glowing skin. In future you may please talk about Your Healthy Diet, am sure it is one reason to what we eat shows it all.
La mer is my holy grail foundation. I absolutely love it. I've also used this drug store foundation long ago. I hated it so don't think they compare in any way. This last until I remove it.
Very tempting to try out, unfortunately I have eczema, do you think it is advisable to try it on? I will flare quickly on any products that has crazy ingredient and perfume.
Yay, I’m so glad that you did something else other than the Physicians Formula foundation. I tried that one and hated it. I have used the L’Oréal Pro glow and even though I have oily skin I really enjoy it. I’m a newer subscriber and really enjoying your channel. Here to stay 😊. One day one day I will try the Lamer. Maybe in 2021 after my no buy year. Gives me time to save 😂.
Lucy Gonzalez @ I feel bad if I get it, but at the same time I think about how much food , toys or clothes I can get for my kids , you know what I mean?? Am not rich , am a single parent. If you can get it before I do just enjoy it and make it beautiful on you.❤️❤️❤️
Wild Wild West, I’m the same way I would probably get it if a have a gift card and on sale other than that I rather buy groceries, because if I buy it full price I can literally see my wallet crying.
I agree the L’Oreal side looks better!! That’s crazy!! Makes those of us that could never afford the LeMer feel better!! Do you think it would work for really oily skin?? I have been considering the matte version but don’t want to look flat and lifeless!!
Wow 🤩 amazing that they can be so similar for that price difference. Thanks so much for this video. Very helpful 😘😊 too bad that the L’Oréal isn’t available in Sweden 🇸🇪🙁
Great comparison. My hesitation with drugstore foundation dupes is with respect to ingredients, namely, talc content, pigments, oil quality, alcohol and fragrance. I don't use La Mer but I do occasionally buy high end when I cannot find a less expensive product with the equivalent ingredient list. Years ago, I found a dupe for my Nia24 cream when l'Oreal came out with a cream containing niacinamide. At one fourth of the price, and with the same results, it was a great dupe.
Can I just say, Lisa, I don’t think you even need to wear foundation. Your skin always looks so pretty. But I’m happy you do makeup, I love your tutorials and all your videos. Thank you!
Thank you for doing this. I loved it. It was a really good dupe comparison. As I say each & every time your makeup application techniques are the BEST! They are doable & wearable. Just a side note, I'm addicted to the vids on lash extension cleaning. If you haven't watched- do. ❤💙❤ PS I could not make a decision on which side I liked better.... they both looked gorgeous, but different. I liked the L'Oreal color & finish just ever so slightly better. But the La Mer is beautiful & flawless it has a photoshopped quality to it, a blurring effect. It's a tie.
I absolutely love the L’Oréal pro glow tho I initially thought it was too gray for me. I began using the maybelline matte and poreless in the center of my face bc it’s more matte and yellow and the L’Oréal on the rest of my face. It’s my favorite foundation look for any and all occasions. However, my friend who has dry skin said the L’Oréal one dried her face out. Not sure why but just an FYI.
I preferred the drugstore side. Looked so healthy and glowy!
Thanks Dana!
I’ve always used drugstore makeup but at 55 I thought I needed to start using the better brands. I thought they would work better, but after half a dozen expensive purchases that were awful, I’ve decided to go back to the drugstore!
I totally understand! Thanks Susan!
May I ask what you use ? I'm 58 !
I’ve been using Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid but I think it’s being discontinued because I can’t find it! Now I’m trying different ones but haven’t found any I like yet. I might try the L’Oreal next. I hate having to get a new foundation. First you have to try to find the right color, ( and for some reason I can’t pick the right color anymore) then the right formula. It’s so hard!!
Okay, who else also thought that the foundation had already been applied at the start of the video? Lisa just looks amazing.
Yes, it was noticable that her skin was already done before she applied the foundation.
Yes! Absolutely beautiful skin .
I was thinking she must have really perfect skin.
Yes if I had her complexion, no way would I bother with foundation, moisturize and go!
gosh, am I the only one who thinks her skin was more beautiful before putting on foundation? honestly, you have the most prettiest natural skin I've ever seen.
Believe it or not, but the lights that she uses actually blurs her skin. The lights are what's making her skin look so flawless when she is bare faced.
Not to say that her skin isn't beautiful.... I'm sure she has beautiful skin.
I was only trying to inform. People see these videos and think that they can get their skin to look perfect like that if they use a certain foundation. But that's not the case. And then it ends up making us feel ugly. I usually only watch makeup videos from uploaders that use NATURAL LIGHTING. I promise you that her skin does not look like that when she steps outside.
I certainly preferred the L'oreal side. More luminous and natural. Regards from Brazil!
Thanks Patricia!

Agreed! So pleased at how much I liked the look your L'oreal side that I'm heading to the drugstore right after I drop my daughter off at school 😏!
I liked the L’oreal side too!

The expensive side looks so much better ! It shows why you loving the la mer.😁
Thank you so much Carla!
I actually like the L’Oréal side better, for my taste I mean. It does look glowy to me but it could be the lights. Thanks for doing this. I may go pick up that L’Oréal foundation today.

I really like L’Oréal. Make sure to shake it before use.

Hi Lisa! I do believe we have a dupe! Thanks for the test and results! Personally I am pretty impressed.
Yay! So happy to hear it :)
@@lisajmakeup I love the high end products but sometimes it's nice to know that you can purchase something is more affordable.

Yes! I love these type of videos. Sometimes I will splurge but for everyday wear these are great recommends. Thanks!

I liked the concealer better on the dupe side. The over all make up looks very similar on both. I will give this a try. Thank You.☺
Thanks for being so honest. I really appreciate .
Thank you Teresa! xoxo
Would you let us know what shade in the L’Oréal you are using? Thanks - love your reviews
Thanks for this, while Le Mer was never on my list (budget shopper here) it was a fun video to watch. Also, more to the point you have amazing skin and are beautiful in your natural glory!!!
Thanks so much Laona!
Lisa, this was very informative and helpful. I love the Pro Glow Foundation; it goes on smoothly and feels light on the skin and I don’t use much product. Both sides looked radiant and I could barely notice a difference but I feel the L’Oréal concealer gave a bit more coverage. I’m on my 2nd tube of the Pro Glow and am very satisfied with it. Thanks so much for doing this comparison Lisa; you chose the perfect dupe 😘
Thanks Susan! I knew I loved the Loreal Pro Glow I just didn't know it would compare so nicely to LaMer!
Lisa J That really is surprising! 😊👍
Hello Lisa,
Inquiring what the number was or color was for your concealer on the dupe side? My vote is for the dupe side also you looked fabulous!
I really love that you and your friends show us more affordable. I have mature skin 58 and I need good skin care. Sadly they cost a fortune Thanks Lisa !! Love you
Thanks Louise!
Hi Lisa! Would you please advise what ring light you use?
I’m almost out the door to buy the L’Oréal ProGlow foundation. I have been curious about the Lamer, but not enough to buy it, but this comparison has really made me want to try the L’Oréal. I like having a few different foundations to use and this one seems like a good one for a drugstore choice, because you like it, and I can always pretty much know I’m going to like the same ones that you like. I do question about a primer... any suggestions? LOVING my brushes! Much love from a loyal fan over in East Texas. ⚡️💖⚡️
I just tried the L’Oreal and it’s amazing!! Thank you. It had been on my radar but your video pushed me to it and it’s gorgeous.
So happy to hear! Thanks Jess!!
Great comparison. I picked up the Koh Gen Do foundation on the recent Sephora sale. Think I finally found my holy grail foundation. I received my BK Beauty brushes on Thursday, as well as the Kendra Scott necklace. The brushes are phenomenal. And I can barely stand to take the necklace off at the end of the day. And they arrived in time for my birthday tomorrow. Thank you, Lisa.
Awww I am just so happy to hear this! Thank you so much Ruth!
The L'oreal side looked much better. It looked more natural, whereas the La Mer side looked a little more like a mask. I started using Pro Glow about two weeks ago and absolutely love it. It looks like your skin. So natural and very hydrating. 204 is my shade too. I just subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to your videos!
I like the LaMer side a bit better but I think it might have been that I liked that lighter color better on you.
I tried LaMer about a year ago but I could never get past the distinct smell of that foundation. It bothered me all day, and I ended up throwing out the brush and beauty blender I used with it because I couldn’t get it out. It didn’t bother a friend with a less sensitive nose.
Love that L’Oréal foundation and I have used all of the higher end brands. Wish there were more shades so I usually mix it with some clarinet or Dior to get a warmer undertone.
Hi Lisa. I am wondering how the loreal concealer compares to the No 7 concealer that you have talked about lately?
specifically wondering about hydration and coverage. Thanks!
I have the L’Oréal product so am going to try that this morning!
Yay! Thanks Geri!
Thanks! How do you typically touch up? More foundation? More powder?
Hi Lisa, i tried the La Mer foundation last year and ❤️ it......but it had this fragrance that i could not tolerate....it was really strong for me....can you tell me if it still has a scent? Thank you!
Lisa, will definitely try the L'oreal. Looked really nice.
Thank you so much! Let me know if you try it and what you think!
Whats your fav all matte palette with the most shade range and blends easy for a beginner with hooded eyes
Hi Lisa,
Thank you for another great tutorial! I must say that I like the L'Oreal finish best. Your skin is beautiful. I don't see any pores, lines or wrinkles! The luminosity is beautiful! Just had to purchase the L'Oreal and can't wait to try it! Much love, Sarah-Boston✨
It’s so hard for me to find my shade in L’Oreal. Everything looks too red on me. I use 118(light beige) in the maybelline fit me matte and poreless. It’s a little drying for me but I use it bc I kinda feel like maybelline has a better range for me.
Good to know! Thank you so much!
@DMM-XOXO
I wear the same shade in maybelline. You should try the Almay TLC foundation in buff. It has amazing staying power, the color is perfect, it’s luminous but not greasy annndddd TRANSFER PROOF!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
vanessa hedger thank you!! I will definitely try it out 😀
You have the most beautiful skin even without makeup 😍😍
Aww thank you so much!
Every foundation looks good if you have good skin and your skin is veeeeeeeeeeeery verrryyyyyyyyyyy_ beautiful you can use any foundation very luckey🤗🤗
Aww, thank you!
I love the pro glow. I’ll have to try that revolution powder!
Thanks so much Miranda!
Lisa, I like the L’Oréal Pro Glow Foundation. I think it looks just as good if not better than the high end. I am going to check out the L’Oréal pro glow foundation. I have not used that one yet. The dupe is a good one. I like your hair & the color. The color suits you. Thanks, Lisa.
Thank you so much sweet lady!
Could you please review the Stila hide and chic foundation?
I truly believe that the left side looks nicer. Both are beautiful, but I'm drawn to the inexpensive side.
Lisa, have you tried the NYX Glow Foundation? It's incredible! ❤
Interesting video dear Lisa. I will try the drugstore option!
I wanted to say that I use the Sisley concealer, and it's quite expensive, but it also take care of the skin, it's not just a make up! I don't know if you have used it? Which one would you recommend to a mature skin. Thankssss.
There’s not a $250 difference for sure. Lol.
My go to was the L’Oreal Pro glow for a long time. Lancôme Renergie foundation is also very similar to the L’Oreal Pro glow. L’Oréal owns Lancôme so that makes sense.
Did you try NYX born to glow foundation ? I have oily skin & it is long lasting love
YAY, indeed!!! I’m so excited to see this video. I already have the L’Oreal Pro-Glow foundation and hadn’t worn it in a while. Was just thinking about trying it again and low and behold I see this video. SO glad to see that it held up against La Mer. I agree with you that the L’Oreal seemed to work better to blur your pores. Having some friends over later and will definitely be pulling out the L’Oreal again. Great idea for a video. Thanks for doing it.
I have used both foundations and though I’m not sure if the ProGlow is a dupe, I actually prefer it to the LaMer, the LaMer really dried out my skin. Thank you 😊
Good to know! Thanks Virlene!
Thank you for this! I do think the under eye concealer looked better on the dupe side. ❤️
I like the loreal side better. It looks more natural. Thank you for doing this comparison. Is the Loreal foundation good for dry skin?
This was a great tutorial for me and perfect timing. I am struggling to find a foundation that works for my dry, mature skin. Is there a primer you recommend for the ProGlow? Do you recommend using a primer with it to help it last? I want to minimize adding texture since I use a lot of moisturizer and also mineral sunscreen.
Lisa💙 Thank you so much for this video... Fantastic wear test.. I 'll have to give these drugstore products a try ...💙💙💙
You've been blessed you have a pretty face and naturally having a glowing skin. In future you may please talk about Your Healthy Diet, am sure it is one reason to what we eat shows it all.
For your hair did you use your airwrap , are you finding that you are using your dyson or your other dryer more .
I used the Target Cartwheel app and got $4 off the foundation. Excited to try it! 🙂
Shannon Engelken Thanks for the tip!
You’re welcome!
Yay! Great tip! Thanks Shannon!
Love he L’Oréal over the LaMer!! Is LOreal silicone or water based? If silicone based what primer would you suggest??
La mer is my holy grail foundation. I absolutely love it. I've also used this drug store foundation long ago. I hated it so don't think they compare in any way. This last until I remove it.
Very tempting to try out, unfortunately I have eczema, do you think it is advisable to try it on? I will flare quickly on any products that has crazy ingredient and perfume.
Good to know about it. Thanks a lot. I think you have perfect skin and you no need any foundation girl 👧
Love the L’Oreal side a bit more. Your skin looks beautiful as always💃🏻
Yay, I’m so glad that you did something else other than the Physicians Formula foundation. I tried that one and hated it. I have used the L’Oréal Pro glow and even though I have oily skin I really enjoy it. I’m a newer subscriber and really enjoying your channel. Here to stay 😊. One day one day I will try the Lamer. Maybe in 2021 after my no buy year. Gives me time to save 😂.
I'm going to try mixing it with double wear, I've heard that's a good combo
Lucy Gonzalez @ it been in my wish list since last Xmas. Still can’t get it. 😂😂😂😂
Wild wild, I guess I’ll be on mine for a couple Christmas as well 😆
Lucy Gonzalez @ I feel bad if I get it, but at the same time I think about how much food , toys or clothes I can get for my kids , you know what I mean?? Am not rich , am a single parent. If you can get it before I do just enjoy it and make it beautiful on you.❤️❤️❤️
Wild Wild West, I’m the same way I would probably get it if a have a gift card and on sale other than that I rather buy groceries, because if I buy it full price I can literally see my wallet crying.
I agree the L’Oreal side looks better!! That’s crazy!! Makes those of us that could never afford the LeMer feel better!!
Do you think it would work for really oily skin?? I have been considering the matte version but don’t want to look flat and lifeless!!
IMO the Pro Matte version isn’t all that matte, but more of a natural satin finish. I have dry skin and can still wear it, over a hydrating primer.
Would love to hear about your skin care!
Wow 🤩 amazing that they can be so similar for that price difference. Thanks so much for this video. Very helpful 😘😊 too bad that the L’Oréal isn’t available in Sweden 🇸🇪🙁
Awww I’m sorry to hear that! Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks Ivonne!
Great comparison. My hesitation with drugstore foundation dupes is with respect to ingredients, namely, talc content, pigments, oil quality, alcohol and fragrance. I don't use La Mer but I do occasionally buy high end when I cannot find a less expensive product with the equivalent ingredient list. Years ago, I found a dupe for my Nia24 cream when l'Oreal came out with a cream containing niacinamide. At one fourth of the price, and with the same results, it was a great dupe.
Thanks for the nice video. I liked the dewey look you had, besides you have beautiful skin complexion.
Thank you so much Nelly!
The Loreal Pro Glow is Rawbeautykristi's fave foundation.
Good to know! Thank you!
Hi dear. T. Y. For sharing your beautiful face and your goodies. So nice of you to show dupes. They do look the same. God bless
Thanks Shelly!
I just pulled my Pro Glow out of the drawer! I do love that foundation!
Great!! Thanks Lindsey!
Can I just say, Lisa, I don’t think you even need to wear foundation. Your skin always looks so pretty. But I’m happy you do makeup, I love your tutorials and all your videos. Thank you!
Just got my BK Beauty brush set yesterday!!! Love them!!
This made me so happy! Thank you so much!
Thank you for doing this. I loved it. It was a really good dupe comparison. As I say each & every time your makeup application techniques are the BEST! They are doable & wearable. Just a side note, I'm addicted to the vids on lash extension cleaning. If you haven't watched- do. ❤💙❤ PS I could not make a decision on which side I liked better.... they both looked gorgeous, but different. I liked the L'Oreal color & finish just ever so slightly better. But the La Mer is beautiful & flawless it has a photoshopped quality to it, a blurring effect. It's a tie.
Thanks so much Donna Marie and thank you for the recommendation! Xoxo
I absolutely love the L’Oréal pro glow tho I initially thought it was too gray for me. I began using the maybelline matte and poreless in the center of my face bc it’s more matte and yellow and the L’Oréal on the rest of my face. It’s my favorite foundation look for any and all occasions.
However, my friend who has dry skin said the L’Oréal one dried her face out. Not sure why but just an FYI.
