I love your reviews. Most of the viewers puts their makeup on in the morning, going to work or school all day long. And if a foundation is not wearing well over the time, it's a no go for me.
yeah I’m at work all day doing laundry and sweating, foundations can look great in the morning but completely melted off my face by the end of the day and look worse than if I hadn’t put any on at all
The Givenchy Prisme Libre skin caring foundation is gorgeous! I just bought it and have been loving it, and it’s very similar to the NARS and CT in that it’s very fresh looking/light coverage but looks absolutely stunning.
I’m IN LOVE with the Nars light reflecting foundation. 💓💓I have oily skin. It covers blemishes, doesn’t cling to dry patches and holds up for 9 hours without primer or much powder without looking greasy. I literally CRAVE this foundation, It gives supermodel skin. Never feels heavy or cakey!!
I have combo skin and I love both. I reach for the Charlotte Tilbury more often because the color match is better but I think once it gets hot here in Florida, I will reach for the Nars foundation more because I think it holds up better long term.
I have combo dry skin, and tried the CT foundation first! I wanted to love it but it just did not look good on my skin. I returned it and got the Nars instead and it has become my holy grail! I am in the hunt for my wedding foundation, and the Nars light reflecting is definitely a contender!
I’m looking for my wedding foundation as well. I like the Nars better as well. I can get away with the CT for short wear days which are infrequent. My skin is normal/combo
I wear this foundation every day. I absolutely love how long it lasts and looks on me. I have extremely dry skin and it looks great all day for me. It looks beautiful on you Allie! I just got the Nars light reflecting yesterday and it did not last on my dry skin. I put it on around 6:00am, and when I picked my daughter up at 3:30, and I couldn’t even see it on my skin anymore. I need to give it more wear before I truly decide though.
Thanks Trisha! I have extremely dry skin and I wondered if this foundation would work for me! I feel more comfortable now trying it out! It gets so frustrating paying $40-$60 for a foundation only to have it either disappear or look patchy and creased on my skin.
I don't have dry skin, but I use a moisturizing tinted sunBLOCK as a primer under any of my color base/foundation schemes: loose mineral powder, or BB or CC cream. I don't understand how foundation can just "disappear"; are you wiping it away during the day or what? I could understand fading or settling into lines, but total disappearance?
@@MyCleverHandle It is like my skin absorbs it even with a moisturizing primer (I haven’t tried a tinted one and I might try that to see if it helps! My skin drinks skincare like water because I am chronically dehydrated also after a major abdominal surgery. My skin was always dry but after surgery, it got much worse. I use a night cream both morning and evening (I use Chanel’s hydra beauty skincare line and their hydra beauty sunscreen). I let it all soak in while doing my eyes and then apply my foundation. I use a setting spray after I apply all my makeup and then press it in with a sponge. Not all foundations disappear but several get really patchy after about the 4 hour mark. I didn’t notice any transfer, but it was like the foundation soaked in like my moisturizer. It might just be that because I use such extremely moisturizing skincare. Some foundations don’t play well with that.
@@foxymama2003 you just described exactly what happens to foundation when I wear it. The Charlotte Tilbury foundation lasts even with a mask on all day (I am a dental hygienist), and Friday was my day off and I didn’t leave the house until I picked my daughter up. When I looked in the mirror, I could see all of my redness, freckles, and a healing pimple that were pretty well covered up when I applied it that morning. I know it’s very light coverage, but it lost all of its coverage throughout the day. I have been wearing makeup for 29 years, so I know my way around a foundation. My skin has become extremely dry since 2020, before that I was dry/normal. I get no oil on my skin throughout the day anymore, even in the humid summer months in Michigan. It’s now Sunday morning and I just applied the Nars again, we will see what happens! My skin looks gorgeous and even right now. Hopefully you see this comment, and I will check back in again later today to update you! The CT beautiful skin is still my favorite. I wore it yesterday all day, and looked almost as good as when I put it on as it did when I took it off. It’s worth the money in my opinion, and you can build it up and it still looks beautiful.
Hey Allie!! I absolutely love the Beautiful Skin Foundation!! I bought 4N this January and find even with running around all day at work(Drs office) I'm not crazy oily (combo skin) after a10hr day! I think I'm going back on to buy 5N for summer since my skin deepens as I play outside, thank you again for such an honest review and I love watching your videos!!
I have super dry skin. I do a full skin care routine to keep it hydrated. I have tried both this foundation and the new NARS foundation. Neither of them lasts as long as the previous Dior skin glow formula, but they discontinued that line and I’ve been searching ever since. Nars looks beautiful on my skin for a few hours then it oxidizes and breaks up rather quickly. I only wear it if i know I’ll only be out for a few hours. The Charlotte Tilbury foundation lasts much longer but I’m not crazy about the texture. I also don’t feel like it blends well with my brush. It looks glowy on the skin and lasts almost all day. It does tend to break up a little on my cheeks after a while, not my smile lines which I found surprising. I really thought i would love them, but for ny skin neither of them is really a slam dunk love.
Have you tried the Dior forever foundation? I've seen a couple great reviews on it, but from people who have good luck with foundations that don't work on my drier skin lol
Thanks for your review! I have purchased & used both of these foundations. It took alot of thought for me because neither one is inexpensive! I don't use a primer (although I have tried it) with the CT. I confess...it's just "ok". .which means I'm disappointed because of the cost. My Loreal Infallible is as good. My mature skin is normal to dry. I find the Nars find drying, but better with the new NYX primer (yellow bottle). It's not $49 good. I feel like I wasted my money on both, honestly. But, I will try to make them work. My 50 yr high school reunion is coming up & I wanted something to make be feel gorgeous!!! But, I'll just work with what I have! Thanks, Allie for all of your good advice! ❤
I tried the Charlotte and didn’t like it at all :( I have pretty sensitive, acne prone, normal skin. I’m not especially oily or dry but my skin reacts to a lot of things. The foundation initially sat nice on my skin, however it felt very heavy and greasy on me throughout the day. I noticed it was breaking me out with white heads, and within an hour or two no matter what I did I would always have crazy creasing around my smile lines. I wore it three different times and had the same opinion each time :( I ended up giving it to my friend however, and she absolutely adores it. I’m going to try the nars next !
I love watching your reviews because I really trust you when it comes to makeup and yes I'm aware that works for you may not work for me, enjoy your weekend everyone 💝💖💝
How do you prep your skin for applying make up in the evening? I do morning skin care, but sometimes don't put make up on until 16:00 for the evening. Do you have any skin prep for this?
I tried the Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful skin. I use the neutral 3 (i’m oily). I do like it. But, I don’t think its special. I personally would use Milani Concealor / foundation for the same result. L’oreal age perfection is another. Sorry about selecting drug store foundation but thats what I meant by nothing special. Nars and my skin was not a match made in heaven. It appeared to break up after about 4 hours on me.
Oily skin here so have given the CT a wide berth! The Nars is perfect and so long wearing on me but I did find it surprisingly drying, that works for me but I expected a bit more glow and it was actually very mattifying. It does wear well FOREVER though, even underneath a mask!
I have dryer skin and had high hopes for the Nars foundation, but it turned out to be the first foundation I ever returned. It was awful on me - patchy, clingy, and VERY drying.
I’m worried about this too. I haven’t bought it’s because I’ve seen a few reviews from dry skin people saying the same as you. I have super dry skin. Currently I can’t stop wearing the new serum foundation from neutrogena. It’s amazing on my dry skin. Even setting it all over with powder, my skin is super glowy and almost shiny at the end of the day. I wish it had slightly more coverage but I just add a little concealer to areas I need it. Highly recommend for you!
I had the same experience! And I have tried the nars foundation so many times. Every time it’s patchy, clinging, and yes, very drying. It always looks amazing at first but within maybe 30 minutes it gets really bad. So, I totally sympathize with you!
I love ❤ my CT foundation which I have in 3N, and which is a perfect match. It doesn't oxidise, and stays put all day. I want to try the new Nars as well, but the ones that are 'supposedly' with neutral undertones pull quite yellow on me and get even more so as the day goes on. Perhaps I should aim for a warm undertone and see what happens 🤔.
Hey Allie! Love this presentation! I haven't tried either one of these new wonder potions, but I imagine my "geriatric" (as one of your faithful flock might say!) 62 year old face with sensitive skin and rosacea might object to both of them! Just wanted to point out that you are the best evaluator for foundation/base products! Thank you for your energy!
I have sensitive skin and rosacea as well (42 yrs) and so far my skin has done pretty well with the CT foundation. I had the same concerns prior to trying it! But was pleasantly surprised!
Hi Cathy. That person was just rude. I have both of these, and like them both because they have no spf and no strong scent, which is great for my sensitive rosacea skin. The CT did cling a bit to my dry patches but I’m using a retinoid so I don’t blame the foundation. The CT is definitely creamier and more dewy which can emphasize texture but also makes you look glowy and healthy. The Nars is more lightweight so I think I will do the Nars for daytime and the CT in the evening. They both have nice coverage but not too much… Neither one is especially long wearing on their own but that’s ok with me. My 52 y/o skin did NOT like the Chanel No 1 with its heavy fragrance and it felt very dry and I could not get a good shade match so I might return that one, but it is definitely more long wearing than the Nars or CT and I found it difficult to remove so maybe just for special occasions & photographed events.
Normal/combo skin here - loved the Nars, disliked the CT. Just seemed so cakey within a few hours whereas the Nars looks like perfection from application to removal.
Omg I'm so excited for this video!! 😍 the look you created is gorgeous! Unrelated: (your makeup bags) I know it's probably hard with all the current/ongoing supply issues and shipping delays, but do you know of a restock date for your makeup bags? I'd love to get a full set in pink (I have 2 in gray, and the classic in pink 🥰)
Hi Allie! I’d love to see you make a video on what you would have in your makeup capsule. Maybe this could be helpful with the spring Sephora sale coming up. 💕
Just tried this out and I have super dry skin and love this stuff! It doesn’t settle into any fine lines and the dewiness lasts a long time (8+ hours of wear)
I ❤❤❤ that lip color on you! You also influenced me to try the Nars Light Reflecting foundation... I'm an oily skin type but I love it! Minimal touch-ups, no caking, and it looks beautiful! It's definitely my new favorite! I have also tried the CT Flawless Foundation (not the one you tried in this video... I've not heard great things for us oily skin types) but the other formula didn't work great for me. Very cakey and heavy, lots of separation and oxidation. Love your videos!!! 🥰 You're one of about 3 influencers I trust! Casey Holmes and Nikkia Joy are my other go-tos. Thank you for being awesome!
Haven't tried either but based on most comments it seems like the Nars is better for oily skin because it is drier, and CT is better for dry skin because it's more glowy
I recently bought the NARS light reflecting foundation and love it! I wore sheer glow when I lived in the desert, but found it to be too dewy for me when I moved to the coast and started getting more oily. Obviously, I haven't tested the new one in the summer so it still might disappoint me, but so far I'm loving how it looks when I apply it and when I get to the end of the day and have more oil on my face.
It looks amazing on your skin. So natural and glowy. I’m also waiting for you to try Natasha Denona pastel palette. I think it will look beautiful with you.
I am combo skin, Im loving the nars more cause it feels so lightweight and comfortable and lasts longer than the charlotte tilbury and it just wowed me as it was unlike anything I've tried, but still enjoy both.
Ive been waiting for this lol!! I'm 43 and I have combo to dry skin with texture and I love the Nars foundation!! My Charlotte Tilbury should be here soon because it was delayed and I'm curious to see how I like it. I will definitely let you know once I've tried it. Your reviews are the best!!
Oh good I thought I had missed your review on the new Charlotte Tilbury foundation I tried the Narrs light reflecting and was so excited to try it especially because I have dry skin and matte finish is just do not work well on me but it was a very dry texture and I didn’t like the way it sat on my skin I ended up making it work with a ton of fix plus spray and then a Dewey setting spray over that but now I feel like I would love the Charlotte Tillberry so I’m gonna have to spring for it because that sounds perfect my skin
I didn't like the CT beautiful skin but i absolutely love the Nars light reflecting foundation, i have combo skin and the CT one my oils came through to quick for my liking the Nars just looks beautiful
I have SUPER dry skin and I've been really enjoying the Nars foundation but not gonna lie, I don't think it's the best thing I've put on my face. Maybe I'll try the Charlotte Tilbury one because I can only dream of looking shiny (lol) so it might pull nicely on me.
I have combo oily and the way I can control the shine is to powder at beginning and also middle of the day if I am using this foundation. The thickness of it you can feel compared to the Nars foundation which is light. I think that there are better foundations out there that achieve the glow without feeling like you are wearing the foundation.
I think it looks nice for all the time! It looks so natural on you! I will get the Nara to see if I like it! I am combination skin! But sometimes I’m more dryer than other I don’t know why! Nice nice review! Thank you
Like the NARS mucho mucho but haven't tried CT. Have dry, mature skin and I layer a moisturizing sunscreen and moisturizing primer under the NARS. Live in humid climate.
I’ve tried both foundations and like both. I have over 40 normal to dry skin. i found with the CT it got very dewy on me after several hours. So someone with oily skin may not like it if it got dewy on my skin. it did last all day though. For me it felt a little heavy whereas the NARS was much more natural and light weight.
Hi Allie ❤, Thank you for reviewing this foundation 💗. I haven't tried either the NARS or CT, I did purchase the IT Cosmetics CC Cream and I wasn't a fan of that because I found that it was a thicker consistency then I was expecting but have to use the rest of it up. I've been then going back to Bare Minerals Original Foundation (my true and trusted).
I have the IT CC cream too, as one of my favorites to hide rosacea patches over a mineral-only lightly tinted sunBLOCK cream I use as my primer. Sometimes I apply the IT product with wet fingers or a wet brush, if I don't need so much coverage. It's adjustable coverage, and works well for me.
Tried the CT foundation but had to return it. I have dehydrated skin, normal to dry & it definitely wasn't a fan of this Foundation. It clung to dry patches & felt really heavy on the skin despite not applying much. I couldn't wait to take it off if I'm honest! I've got The Ordinary Serum Foundation at the moment & my skin seems to prefer that.
I really wanted to like this foundation, and I tried it several times, but this last time I figured out how to use it. You need to use less because it’s thicker and a firm brush to apply it. I love CT foundations and really wanted to make it work. I haven’t tried it with a sponge, but it looks like it would work just as well.
Mature skin - not oily or dry - but it's Nars all day long for me! That CT was returned the day after I tried it. All their foundations run so yellow. I have 3 diff ones and don't wear any of them. It's very hard to get a color match. Thank you for the honest review
I am 63 with normal to dry and sometimes sensitive skin. I rarely get any blemishes but do react to face products that contain glitter. I purchased the Nars foundation, and I have been really loving it. I tend to use very little amounts of foundation, mostly to even out my color. I have been trying quite a few new foundations lately and I haven't found one that I use as consistently as the Nars. I am curious about the CT Beautiful Skin foundation because I like a radiant glow and it seems that it has that property to it. But it is hard for me to decide to order it because I like my Nars so much!
I have been waiting for you to review the CT foundation. Now I know what shade would work on me! I have combo mature skin and love the new NARS foundation too!
I would love if you'd do a video about suncreens and makeup-pairs. For me it is so hard to put on sunscreen and a makeup that doesn't look patchy after a few hours of wearing it. What currently works for me is LRP sunscreen and Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Foundation.
I love how thorough your foundation reviews are! They are short and packed with info! I wish I could knock down my time in my reviews 🤦♀️ I seem to go on and on 🤣 I think this one looked great on your skin and lasted pretty good. I would have to agree with you. I like how the Nars looked better at the end of the day on you. Love you XOXO 😘
I'm 59, combo skin, I did not like the Charlotte Tilbury. Way to glowing and didn't have a skin like finish that I was hoping. I haven't tried the Nars but got it foe my 80 year old mom and it looks great on her except I got a touch too dark. Great review Allie!!
Allie! I’ve finally found a dupe for the Dior Glow Lip Balms that you/I/we all love. It’s the Catrice Glow Lip Balm. I’ve got the hemp/mint one that is green in colour (has a menthol feel to it) but it gradually turns my lips a pinky red colour. It’s also an amazing balm. Just thought you should know (if you’re planning a dupe video soonish). Laura from New Zealand
Both the NARS and CT have been compared a lot. I prefer NARS as CT is too glowy for me and doesn't last as long, probably due to all the skincare ingredients. I find that when foundations focus a lot on the skincare bit, their lasting power is less. The same thing was with the new Kosas foundation, it transferred a lot but I really liked it for days when I don't have to wear a mask
I like the Nars better and it wears very well. I have normal to dry skin. Great wear test Allie and great to start my Saturday with you. Have a great weekend and love you too Allie.
Hi Allie! I have dry mature skin and like this foundation like for every day but love the NARS foundation more (although I really moisturize under it).Love your videos.
This foundation didn’t work for me. I hated it at first. But then I mixed it with the other Charlotte tilbury foundation the airbrush flawless one and it’s so beautiful.
I can't decide between kosas and the new Nars foundation. I wonder which would be better for acne prone skin? Your skin literally looks airbrushed it's so beautiful!
I have both and they are pretty similar actually. On my face I think nars is maybe a touch more coverage and I've been complemented on my skin while wearing both, I don't think you can go wrong with either. See which one has a color that suits you best. Although I will say at the end of the day the kosas wears better and the nars kinda starts to look makeupey.
You should wear nars on one half of your face and Charlotte on the other. I'm more dry I tried the Charlotte flawless filter and its a tad drying. I am anxious to try the beautiful skin when its not viral as its sold out most places. Thanks for your insight I love this channel!
Hi Allie loved the review I got the Charlotte tilbury one when it first came out it’s very nice but after seeing you do the Nars foundation I ordered that one & I do like the Nars better Charlotte foundation is very pretty would be nice to see you do them side by side to see what last & looks better 🌸🌺🌼🌹
I love the Nars, I have more mature skin and from other reviews I don’t think CT will work for me, I appreciate your review though and now it makes me want to try the CT! Please review DM yummy skin!!!!
I had a few foundations I was interested in so had gotten samples. I really expected to love this CT one. I wore the 3N, but now wondering about the cool one as well? It was the first I'd tried & I liked it. But, after trying the new Nars one & then the reformulated Dior forever glow I liked them better with the Dior being my favorite. That being said, I've more recently tried the new N1 de Chanel and that one is now top of my list. Only thing I noticed tho after wearing it longer the 2nd time is that it's definitely not a longer wearing foundation. So I'd save that one for times I wouldn't need it on all day. (Also going to try primer/setting spray that lengthen wear time. ATM I wore ones that would give the prettiest finish.
I just don’t know how I feel about this foundation yet. One day it looks beautiful on my skin the next makes me look older. Now it looks beautiful if I’m not dry and my skin looks good( not breaking out). I’m dry af in the winter this year for some reason lol. I’m usually oily af so I’m wonder if on the summer time it’ll look better. Yesterday I was having a good skin day not to dry more combo and my skin is finally not breaking out ( don’t have to wear masks at work anymore) and it looked beautiful.
I keep trying liquid foundations, but they tend to break up quickly, I would love to find one that looks good for me. I have combination, normal and oily in the t zone.
I love how positive your reviews are for all products. Even if something doesn’t work for you, you say it in a positive way.
I love your reviews. Most of the viewers puts their makeup on in the morning, going to work or school all day long. And if a foundation is not wearing well over the time, it's a no go for me.
This!! I always search for foundations that does not need a touch ups
Taylor Wynn just tried the new Makeup Forever foundation (tan cap) and she was super impressed by how nice it still looked after 9 hours.
yeah I’m at work all day doing laundry and sweating, foundations can look great in the morning but completely melted off my face by the end of the day and look worse than if I hadn’t put any on at all
Allie please try the CT again with primer, setting spray and touch ups throughout the day, then give us your thoughts again. Thanks
That color is SPOT ON!!! Surprise and delight, AIR? Very pretty!
The Givenchy Prisme Libre skin caring foundation is gorgeous! I just bought it and have been loving it, and it’s very similar to the NARS and CT in that it’s very fresh looking/light coverage but looks absolutely stunning.

I’m worried about this too. I haven’t bought it’s because I’ve seen a few reviews from dry skin people saying the same as you. I have super dry skin.
Currently I can’t stop wearing the new serum foundation from neutrogena. It’s amazing on my dry skin. Even setting it all over with powder, my skin is super glowy and almost shiny at the end of the day. I wish it had slightly more coverage but I just add a little concealer to areas I need it. Highly recommend for you!
@@jacquelinekenknight9280 Thank you! I've had good results with the new Loreal serum foundation - it's a great option too!
@@suzanne8284 I’ve been eyeing that one too! Trying to resist as I have probably 15+ foundations.
I had the same experience! And I have tried the nars foundation so many times. Every time it’s patchy, clinging, and yes, very drying. It always looks amazing at first but within maybe 30 minutes it gets really bad. So, I totally sympathize with you!
I adore the Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin foundation!
I love ❤ my CT foundation which I have in 3N, and which is a perfect match. It doesn't oxidise, and stays put all day. I want to try the new Nars as well, but the ones that are 'supposedly' with neutral undertones pull quite yellow on me and get even more so as the day goes on. Perhaps I should aim for a warm undertone and see what happens 🤔.
Hey Allie! Love this presentation! I haven't tried either one of these new wonder potions, but I imagine my "geriatric" (as one of your faithful flock might say!) 62 year old face with sensitive skin and rosacea might object to both of them! Just wanted to point out that you are the best evaluator for foundation/base products! Thank you for your energy!
I have sensitive skin and rosacea as well (42 yrs) and so far my skin has done pretty well with the CT foundation. I had the same concerns prior to trying it! But was pleasantly surprised!
Hi Cathy. That person was just rude. I have both of these, and like them both because they have no spf and no strong scent, which is great for my sensitive rosacea skin. The CT did cling a bit to my dry patches but I’m using a retinoid so I don’t blame the foundation. The CT is definitely creamier and more dewy which can emphasize texture but also makes you look glowy and healthy. The Nars is more lightweight so I think I will do the Nars for daytime and the CT in the evening. They both have nice coverage but not too much… Neither one is especially long wearing on their own but that’s ok with me. My 52 y/o skin did NOT like the Chanel No 1 with its heavy fragrance and it felt very dry and I could not get a good shade match so I might return that one, but it is definitely more long wearing than the Nars or CT and I found it difficult to remove so maybe just for special occasions & photographed events.
Allie, what are your thoughts comparing the Charlotte Tilbury and Nars foundation to the Rare Beauty foundation?
I have dry skin and I bought this , so far I live how it feels and looks ! It may not be for everyone .
I’m oily this CT foundation works amazingly well over Bobbie Brown Face Base!
Normal/combo skin here - loved the Nars, disliked the CT. Just seemed so cakey within a few hours whereas the Nars looks like perfection from application to removal.
Omg I'm so excited for this video!! 😍 the look you created is gorgeous!
Unrelated: (your makeup bags) I know it's probably hard with all the current/ongoing supply issues and shipping delays, but do you know of a restock date for your makeup bags? I'd love to get a full set in pink (I have 2 in gray, and the classic in pink 🥰)
Hi Allie! I’d love to see you make a video on what you would have in your makeup capsule. Maybe this could be helpful with the spring Sephora sale coming up. 💕
Iv been excited for you to try this
I bought this & haven't tried it yet. Glad to see it worked for you. I can't wait to use it now. Have a great weekend, Allie!
Just tried this out and I have super dry skin and love this stuff! It doesn’t settle into any fine lines and the dewiness lasts a long time (8+ hours of wear)
I ❤❤❤ that lip color on you!
You also influenced me to try the Nars Light Reflecting foundation... I'm an oily skin type but I love it! Minimal touch-ups, no caking, and it looks beautiful! It's definitely my new favorite!
I have also tried the CT Flawless Foundation (not the one you tried in this video... I've not heard great things for us oily skin types) but the other formula didn't work great for me. Very cakey and heavy, lots of separation and oxidation.
Love your videos!!! 🥰 You're one of about 3 influencers I trust! Casey Holmes and Nikkia Joy are my other go-tos. Thank you for being awesome!
Haven't tried either but based on most comments it seems like the Nars is better for oily skin because it is drier, and CT is better for dry skin because it's more glowy
Yes the percentage cracked Wayne Goss up. I got a giggle 😃 out of his review.
I recently bought the NARS light reflecting foundation and love it! I wore sheer glow when I lived in the desert, but found it to be too dewy for me when I moved to the coast and started getting more oily. Obviously, I haven't tested the new one in the summer so it still might disappoint me, but so far I'm loving how it looks when I apply it and when I get to the end of the day and have more oil on my face.
I have an oily T; NARS foundation works well for me. Thanks Allie.
It looks amazing on your skin. So natural and glowy. I’m also waiting for you to try Natasha Denona pastel palette. I think it will look beautiful with you.
finally, the video I've been waiting for
Have you used it again Allie?? Do you still like it? I tried Zoeva today, loving it x
I am combo skin, Im loving the nars more cause it feels so lightweight and comfortable and lasts longer than the charlotte tilbury and it just wowed me as it was unlike anything I've tried, but still enjoy both.
Ive been waiting for this lol!! I'm 43 and I have combo to dry skin with texture and I love the Nars foundation!! My Charlotte Tilbury should be here soon because it was delayed and I'm curious to see how I like it. I will definitely let you know once I've tried it. Your reviews are the best!!
Great review, I’m on the fence on whether to purchase this with it being pricer. You are so lucky to receive that full PR pack of all the shades ☺️xx
Oh good I thought I had missed your review on the new Charlotte Tilbury foundation I tried the Narrs light reflecting and was so excited to try it especially because I have dry skin and matte finish is just do not work well on me but it was a very dry texture and I didn’t like the way it sat on my skin I ended up making it work with a ton of fix plus spray and then a Dewey setting spray over that but now I feel like I would love the Charlotte Tillberry so I’m gonna have to spring for it because that sounds perfect my skin
I didn't like the CT beautiful skin but i absolutely love the Nars light reflecting foundation, i have combo skin and the CT one my oils came through to quick for my liking the Nars just looks beautiful
Ahh the video I've been waiting for! 😍
I just can't get over the lipstick. Looking at the bullet and on you, it's my perfect color. But when I put it on MY lips...it looked orange.
Yess! I was waiting for this 💖
I have SUPER dry skin and I've been really enjoying the Nars foundation but not gonna lie, I don't think it's the best thing I've put on my face. Maybe I'll try the Charlotte Tilbury one because I can only dream of looking shiny (lol) so it might pull nicely on me.
I have combo oily and the way I can control the shine is to powder at beginning and also middle of the day if I am using this foundation. The thickness of it you can feel compared to the Nars foundation which is light. I think that there are better foundations out there that achieve the glow without feeling like you are wearing the foundation.
You do such a great job. Curious what do you fo with the extra makeup that you don't use? Charlotte tilbury box looked like you received several tubes
I think it looks nice for all the time! It looks so natural on you! I will get the Nara to see if I like it! I am combination skin! But sometimes I’m more dryer than other I don’t know why! Nice nice review! Thank you
Like the NARS mucho mucho but haven't tried CT. Have dry, mature skin and I layer a moisturizing sunscreen and moisturizing primer under the NARS. Live in humid climate.
I’ve tried both foundations and like both. I have over 40 normal to dry skin. i found with the CT it got very dewy on me after several hours. So someone with oily skin may not like it if it got dewy on my skin. it did last all day though. For me it felt a little heavy whereas the NARS was much more natural and light weight.
Hi Allie ❤, Thank you for reviewing this foundation 💗. I haven't tried either the NARS or CT, I did purchase the IT Cosmetics CC Cream and I wasn't a fan of that because I found that it was a thicker consistency then I was expecting but have to use the rest of it up. I've been then going back to Bare Minerals Original Foundation (my true and trusted).
I have the IT CC cream too, as one of my favorites to hide rosacea patches over a mineral-only lightly tinted sunBLOCK cream I use as my primer. Sometimes I apply the IT product with wet fingers or a wet brush, if I don't need so much coverage. It's adjustable coverage, and works well for me.
immediately stopped what i was doing when i got this notification! love you Allie ❤️🤪
Tried the CT foundation but had to return it. I have dehydrated skin, normal to dry & it definitely wasn't a fan of this Foundation. It clung to dry patches & felt really heavy on the skin despite not applying much. I couldn't wait to take it off if I'm honest!
I've got The Ordinary Serum Foundation at the moment & my skin seems to prefer that.
I really wanted to like this foundation, and I tried it several times, but this last time I figured out how to use it. You need to use less because it’s thicker and a firm brush to apply it. I love CT foundations and really wanted to make it work. I haven’t tried it with a sponge, but it looks like it would work just as well.
Mature skin - not oily or dry - but it's Nars all day long for me! That CT was returned the day after I tried it. All their foundations run so yellow. I have 3 diff ones and don't wear any of them. It's very hard to get a color match. Thank you for the honest review
I am 63 with normal to dry and sometimes sensitive skin. I rarely get any blemishes but do react to face products that contain glitter. I purchased the Nars foundation, and I have been really loving it. I tend to use very little amounts of foundation, mostly to even out my color. I have been trying quite a few new foundations lately and I haven't found one that I use as consistently as the Nars. I am curious about the CT Beautiful Skin foundation because I like a radiant glow and it seems that it has that property to it. But it is hard for me to decide to order it because I like my Nars so much!
I have been waiting for you to review the CT foundation. Now I know what shade would work on me! I have combo mature skin and love the new NARS foundation too!
I would love if you'd do a video about suncreens and makeup-pairs. For me it is so hard to put on sunscreen and a makeup that doesn't look patchy after a few hours of wearing it. What currently works for me is LRP sunscreen and Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Foundation.
I love how thorough your foundation reviews are! They are short and packed with info! I wish I could knock down my time in my reviews 🤦♀️ I seem to go on and on 🤣 I think this one looked great on your skin and lasted pretty good. I would have to agree with you. I like how the Nars looked better at the end of the day on you. Love you XOXO 😘
GIIIIIIRL you always make my day LOOOOVE YOOOOOOU XOXOXO 😘
Love you too!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Can we just take a moment to admire those lashes 😻🔥❤️
That lip colour is to die for
I'm 59, combo skin, I did not like the Charlotte Tilbury. Way to glowing and didn't have a skin like finish that I was hoping. I haven't tried the Nars but got it foe my 80 year old mom and it looks great on her except I got a touch too dark. Great review Allie!!
Allie! I’ve finally found a dupe for the Dior Glow Lip Balms that you/I/we all love. It’s the Catrice Glow Lip Balm. I’ve got the hemp/mint one that is green in colour (has a menthol feel to it) but it gradually turns my lips a pinky red colour. It’s also an amazing balm. Just thought you should know (if you’re planning a dupe video soonish). Laura from New Zealand
I’m normal, dry and I haven’t tried the CT but balls do I love the nars one. It’s like my holy grail
I'm neutral like you and I was so disappointed then I ordered their foundation, so maybe I need to go with the cool undertone. This was helpful!!
Both the NARS and CT have been compared a lot. I prefer NARS as CT is too glowy for me and doesn't last as long, probably due to all the skincare ingredients. I find that when foundations focus a lot on the skincare bit, their lasting power is less. The same thing was with the new Kosas foundation, it transferred a lot but I really liked it for days when I don't have to wear a mask
The Nars does not look good on me… I LOVE the CT!!! I have normal-dry skin. I am
AMAZED by the CT because it doesn’t settle into my fine lines!!!
I like the Nars better and it wears very well. I have normal to dry skin. Great wear test Allie and great to start my Saturday with you. Have a great weekend and love you too Allie.
Hi Allie! I have dry mature skin and like this foundation like for every day but love the NARS foundation more (although I really moisturize under it).Love your videos.
This foundation didn’t work for me. I hated it at first. But then I mixed it with the other Charlotte tilbury foundation the airbrush flawless one and it’s so beautiful.
Love the Nars!!
I can't decide between kosas and the new Nars foundation. I wonder which would be better for acne prone skin? Your skin literally looks airbrushed it's so beautiful!
I have both and they are pretty similar actually. On my face I think nars is maybe a touch more coverage and I've been complemented on my skin while wearing both, I don't think you can go wrong with either. See which one has a color that suits you best. Although I will say at the end of the day the kosas wears better and the nars kinda starts to look makeupey.
Oooouu la la I’ll have to try the KOSAS
You should wear nars on one half of your face and Charlotte on the other. I'm more dry I tried the Charlotte flawless filter and its a tad drying. I am anxious to try the beautiful skin when its not viral as its sold out most places. Thanks for your insight I love this channel!
I love the Charlotte tilbury foundation and have combination skin I have to try the nars again to get an honest review.
I’m in 3 cool too and it’s a bit yellow for me still. But I’m a cool undertone anyway.
Hi Allie loved the review I got the Charlotte tilbury one when it first came out
it’s very nice but after seeing you do the Nars foundation I ordered that one & I do like the Nars better
Charlotte foundation is very pretty
would be nice to see you do them side by side to see what last & looks better 🌸🌺🌼🌹
I have CT haven’t tried it yet as been using nars will try it tomorrow 😃🙏🥰
I love both and they are both great !!!
Love the CT foundation!
Love the blush on you.
Allie. It'd beautiful on you
I'm working with it I'm dry and mature with some texture so playing with primers.
I love the Nars, I have more mature skin and from other reviews I don’t think CT will work for me, I appreciate your review though and now it makes me want to try the CT! Please review DM yummy skin!!!!
I want to try to mix the Nars and CT wouldn’t that be something?🥰
I had a few foundations I was interested in so had gotten samples. I really expected to love this CT one. I wore the 3N, but now wondering about the cool one as well? It was the first I'd tried & I liked it. But, after trying the new Nars one & then the reformulated Dior forever glow I liked them better with the Dior being my favorite. That being said, I've more recently tried the new N1 de Chanel and that one is now top of my list. Only thing I noticed tho after wearing it longer the 2nd time is that it's definitely not a longer wearing foundation. So I'd save that one for times I wouldn't need it on all day. (Also going to try primer/setting spray that lengthen wear time. ATM I wore ones that would give the prettiest finish.
I always trust your opinion!!! Thank you for sharing and kisses from Greece!!!
I have the CT haven’t tried it yet might try it tomorrow 😃🙏🥰
I just don’t know how I feel about this foundation yet. One day it looks beautiful on my skin the next makes me look older. Now it looks beautiful if I’m not dry and my skin looks good( not breaking out). I’m dry af in the winter this year for some reason lol. I’m usually oily af so I’m wonder if on the summer time it’ll look better. Yesterday I was having a good skin day not to dry more combo and my skin is finally not breaking out ( don’t have to wear masks at work anymore) and it looked beautiful.
Love you so much Allie!!
Love you!!! 🥰❤️
I keep trying liquid foundations, but they tend to break up quickly, I would love to find one that looks good for me. I have combination, normal and oily in the t zone.
Can you review the shisheido synchro skin self refreshing tint. I hear good reviews about it
Perfect shade match for you
