You are my foundation queen!! Thank you for such thoughtful, thorough reviews of foundation and concealer for women over 40! It’s a different ballgame when you are 40+ and looking for a match. You’re the best, Steph! Also, couldn’t agree more with you about reformulations…who is asking for it?! Ugh! Wish companies would knock it off with that.
Yay! Roundups are my fav. Thanks for showing application full screen. It's so much easier to see. The guerlain looked so nice on you. I'm so grateful you're here !
I lovethe Guerlain foundation sooo much!!! I was sceptical about buying it (I have very oily skin snd I'm 43) but it's wonderful on me. Wore it with the make up for ever smoothing primer and had no oil or shine after 9 hours! It looks great on me!🌸🌸🌸
Was very disappointed in the "reformulated" Face & Body. I returned it. I agree 100%. These brands should just bring out "new" foundations instead of reformulations. They're never that close to the originals.
I saw this foundation recommended SO many times and was so excited to try. I ordered one and thought to myself, "What is everyone so excited about?!" Then, I found out about the reformulation. Why would you mess with a foundation that everyone really loved?
Such an interesting video Steph, I know what you mean about the ‘reformulation’ products being a completely different product, very annoying! The 2 faced one looks amazing!!
I appreciate these reviews so much. I love in Florida which is also so hot and humid so I’m always wary of new foundations that say luminous. Great video.
I love the Too Faced tint/foundation but with a lot of tints, I’m in between two shades. Had to buy 2 different shades to mix to find a better shade match. Also I’m so glad I stocked up on my Dior Face and Body before the reformulation! Louisiana heat likes to melt my foundation off as well and those both work pretty good against that.
Even if brands are hell bent on calling a product "reformulated" , why don't they let US choose which one WE want. Just by keeping the original product available would be a great help. But no, they remove the original and we are left very disappointed. Love you lots 💗💕💗💕💗
I have been waiting for your take on the new Dior foundation, and am so disappointed to hear that it has changed so much. Totally agree with your take on most reformulatIons.
You and Risa are my Go To's for foundation reviews. I've been on the fence about the Guerlain foundation, but after your review I'm ready to purchase now. Thanks!
I had the same experience with the Lancôme foundation. I may try the Too Face. It didn’t appeal to me because I thought it would be too shiny. Thank you for the reviews!
I also just want to say as someone new to the series (and currently binging) i appreciate the larger video on the side with your wear photos than the smaller cut outs in the past. Thank you!
After looking at your blog site, I realized that we are foundation twins! So happy to finally find an influencer who uses the same shades! Could you please review cle de peau and Sisley foundations???
I used to not be able to use any foundation with spf in it. My skin is very reactive to certain ingredients and being a very fair, redhead sucks because most sunscreens irritate my skin.
I'm behind you on your reformulation rant. I LOVE the original Dior Backstage Face & Body. Guess I won't be buying a new one when my current bottle runs out.
I wear Complexion Rescue in the non-matte formula. I like it very much. I use tretinoin and my skin can get flaky. This works better than many other foundations on my skin. I apply it with my fingertips over sunscreen.
Thanks so much for a great roundup. I’m so disappointed to hear about the new Dior face and body as i absolutely love the original which i bought based on your recommendation. The new one isn’t available here in Australia yet so I i may have to stock up on the original before it gets replaced as i don’t think I’ll enjoy it at all. The two faced one sounds promising though!
I loved your video..i also agree with you about the reformalation with foundations!! I also like to know your advice on drugstore brand foundation. I like medium to full coverage Do you have any recommendations for me?? I appreciate your help!!! Thank you!!!❤😊
I’m so disappointed with the reviews I’ve seen on the Dior backstage as this was a holy grail foundation for me! I hope they bring back the original formula after seeing so many people disappointed from this change 😩
I loved the original Lancome teint idole, used it for 20 yrs, and am heartbroken they reformulated it😢 I broke down and tried the new one and it’s awful, I had the same issues with it that Stephanie had. So on the hunt for a dupe of the original. I can’t understand why all these cosmetic lines reformulate their best sellers?? They’ve all jumped on the bandwagon with their skin loving ingredients nonsense! Which basically means they use that as an excuse to increase the price! I have skincare products for that and don’t need it in my foundation, also the sunscreen they use in foundation is a joke and wish they’d just leave that out so we can use our preferred one that’s going to be more effective anyway. If anyone can suggest a good dupe for Lancome original Teint Idole I’d love to hear!
If u are more oily, can try shu Uemura matte but if u r less oily, can try Ysl matte new formulation which is quite close to Lancome in my opinion (higher coverage).
I've been using Lancome Tient Idole for 30 years. It was my holy grail. The "reformulation" is worthless! Misleading to keep the same name. I'm so disappointed, looking for the next best thing now. So far, Gucci Luminous Matte seems best. Love to hear other suggestions.
Sometimes they are forced to reformulate due to ingredient availability. Lately I’ve noticed that is the case with a lot of products. Not just in the makeup world either.
I will say huda beauty powder has kept me shine free for so long it’s amazing. Bit cakey but I’ve been using it to set and bake under eyes and it’s so good. I bought it on sale, I rather use that every day instead of my Laura mercier powder. But yeah
Dior has broken my heart with all the discontinuations & reformulations. They were my holy grail brand for all things complexion & now I’m back at square one. So infuriating that they would take away and/or change iconic products that worked for SO MANY people. Now I’m back to Estée Lauder Double Wear, Make Up For Ever HD Skin & MAC Pro Long Wear. All of which I like but Dior AirFlash & Face & Body gave me the coverage I wanted without feeling too heavy. They even reformulated the Forever Matte & I’m not a huge fan of it now. Don’t even get me started on the reformulation of Forever Skin Correct.😩😭😂 Apparently I needed to rant too lmao! Thank you for these amazing, honest reviews.❤
@@StephanieMarie I was so waiting for your thoughts ont the new Dior FB. I am so disappointed myself. The original was my HG and worked every single time no matter what. It was perfect, so much so that I had backups of it in my two shades. The new one does look beautiful on me but I get so shiny and I can feel it moving around on my t-zone. It's a no go and I live in cold dry climate. I am so sad. I saw it coming though, Dior did ruin a lot of products with their reformulations and you rant was more than justified. I am now back at square one and I don't know what to pick.
I've been researching to find a new foundation that plays well with my skin so this video was much needed. Thank you! Also the Guerlain foundation looked custom made for you. It made your skin look lit from within. Absolutely flawless!
I love the original lancolm matte foundation. I almost bought the reformulated one but realized how dumb that would be since i have the other with a lot left.
I loved the Lancôme Teint Idole but we have not got the reformulated version here in Australia yet. Coming Sept is the latest update but it sounds like I am not going to be happy. It was a really great foundation. Taking note of your favourites 😊
Now I am royally pissed off and agree with your rant. I hope Dior and Lancome are listening. Now I will have to search for a new HG foundation and mascara due to formula changes. Thanks so much, I appreciate and trust your reviews.
First, just want to thank you for doing long term testing, not just first impressions and then providing photos of what things look like throughout the day. Second, I share your frustration with "reformulations." Maybe you've already done this and I've just missed it, but an entire video of reformulation comparisons would be so good! What actually improved and what didn't? Thanks again!
This is bad news for me. I ordered bareMinerals Complexion Rescue tinted moisturizer with spf 30 and just received it. I'm sort of not enthused about even trying it on. That's the way I usually roll..🙄. Thank you for the video. I am turning 75 in November so my skin is so much fun to work with......🙃
I just bought the Colourpop pretty fresh foundation and I love it! I am 49 with mature dry skin! I love it! I like watching you and mainly for foundations to avoid. In my experience anything that says vegan it means it’s formulated with some form of avocado 🥑 or papaya in it and I’m allergic to both! Some IT cosmetics is even out for me! Thanks for your reviews!
I had great luck with the reformulated Lancome foundation once I got a good color match. I could not get on board with the new Too Faced wanted to love it but it was awful. Agree with previous views on Dior....
I completely agree about the Lancome reformulation. I have dry skin and have the exact same issues. I’ve worn this foundation for over 10 years, so I’m really sad about it. Thank you for the foundation testing!❤
I feel companies reformulate because most people want natural products. Each company should have a regular version and a natural version. I’m one that prefers regular versions and I usually steer clear of natural products because most of the time they are full of fragrances and essential oils which I do not put on my skin
Thank you for a great video - definitely want to try the Guerlain one. Would love your thoughts on Rituel de Fille 3 Drop Weightless Serum Foundation 🙂
Hi Stephanie, thanks for another great review. I’m not a big makeup wearer, but do love a great foundation that makes my skin look perfected. My go to was the Dior Backstage. I to live in Louisiana, with makeup melting as soon as you walk outside. What would be your next holy grail that you would recommend? I have the same skin type as you enlarged pores , rosacea ,texture. I’m 49. I don’t want anything heavy more skin like. If anyone has any recommendations I would love you input Thank you! Have a great Sunday
I'm working on a top long-wearing foundations video right now! I want to be 100% sure before I recommend it to you! Stay tuned for that video. I'm wear testing all my top ones now to give my top-top picks and (hopefully) a number one!
You are my go to for foundation recommendations… I’m so disappointed in the Dior backstage review… I was so hoping it would remain the same. That being said I’ve heard good things about ritual de fille three drop weightless serum foundation. Wondering if you would please please check this out and do a review.
Original Dior Backstage was a holy grail for me, too. I have one opened bottle left of the original version, and I've been waiting for your thoughts on this new formulation. You are my go to jumping off point for foundations.
I never liked the original complexion rescue. It has no coverage. I don't understand why it's considered a tinted moisturizer, it's just a greasy moisturizer 😂
OMG what a bummer! I’m so glad that I had just bought my Tient Idole Lancome before the reformulation sounds like a no lol plus they don’t make my shade anymore and it was an exact match for my skin 🙁😕🙁 I’m trying the Dior forever if I can ever get the right shade lol
I’m glad I found this channel. I live in the southern part of Texas and it verbatim what you said about your climate. I also have combo skin. I’m only 36 but I’m going to age so I’m interested in what I should use in the future.
Hi Stephanie. I love your foundation reviews because they are so thorough. I totally agree with you when it comes to "reformulated" products. Just tell us you're discontinuing the product and introducing a new one. Do you think the Guerlain foundation would work for dry skin? It looks so good on you.
Hi! I'd grab a sample if you can. I know my friend Michele (Wang) didn't love it on her very dry skin in her uber-dry climate, but it depends on many factors. I've heard of people with dry skin loving it. It's worth a try for sure!
Thank you for the review. I am trying to decide between the Lancome and the Guerlain. I don't live in a humid climate. I have oily, sensitive skin, which one do you think would work?
There are extremely strict standards (that have been updated in the last few years) that determine how many ingredients can change in a cosmetic/beauty/hair product before it must be deemed a “new” product versus a reformulation. I work in the beauty industry and it’s not as lenient as you think. It is more common that the manufacturing mechanisms are changed, making the same ingredients interact with each other differently.
You are spot on with your reformulation comment. I particularly think DIOR blew it with their reformulations. The cult classics and faves are a big fail. They are just not as good as the originals. I bought Forever Skin Glow Hydrating Foundation SPF 15 earlier this year and it is anything but skin glowing. It cakes up on my face and doesn't wear well. My drugstore foundations perform better. I expected more from DIOR. I love your channel! I learn so much from you.
Yes! I tried Dior glow foundation and it was matte on me! I just thought it was because I’m on tret. Do you have any favorite light to medium coverage foundations that’s dewy, doesn’t cling to dry patches and hydrating
@@clisaa6974 I am loving the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua. It is light but gives great coverage. Nice for summer. For my skin it goes on as a light to medium coverage. Also buildable.
There will lots of reformulations coming because of new laws passed in the EU on ingredients being banned and some being banned at certain percentages to make them safe for use
I think I am the only person who prefers the new Dior F&B? It works for my sensitive skin much better than the overly fragranced original. The alcohol in the prior version also caused that version to break up on my skin mid day. So might be worth a try for people with sensitive skin? Just dropping in comments for other sensitive/ rosacea skin types:) the new version has the alcohol slightly lower in the ingredient list.
On the other hand, the new formula has "botanical" fragrance, which almost certainly means essential oils. In the long run, they may be way more sensitizing to the skin than alkohol and artificial fragrances combined. That being said, they should have kept the original formula for the oilier among us and introduce the new one as a hydrating version. It was my holy grail, and my sole one after Too Faced discontinued the Peach Perfect and replaced it with the mediocre Born This Way Matte last year. I even made an exception for it from the cruelty free status - it is so hard for me to find a foundation (I am extremely oily, have a pale olive undertone and my skin hates the heavy pasty foundations like EL DW) that I decided it was better for the environment to buy 1-2 bottles of that a year instead of keep buying new products and failing to like them.
New and "Unimproved." I hate it when they change the formulation. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't have been using it. They usually loose a customer, me, when that happens.
I got a sample tube of foundation from a brand called Yensa in an IPSY bag, that I’m loving. It’s called Yensa Super Serum Silk Foundation. The shade light neutral is perfect for me. I think it’s better for dryer skins like mine (and I’m 53). It touts some skincare benefits that I’m not sure that it’s doing, like brightening and firming, and it says it’s full coverage. I like that I get coverage without it feeling or looking heavy. I think I’m gonna buy the full size when I run out of the sample (0.34 oz), but it seems to only be available on QVC.
I realize this is an older video but……..I have a suggestion with the Lancôme tient edole foundation!!!! I love it but find if I mix it with one pump of my NYX Can’t stop won’t stop foundation AND apply it with YOUR , stephaniemarie, double wear technique…. I am much happier with the results. I also do initial application with my fingers and follow with the damp sponge. Beautiful! ❤
Stephanie, I agree with everything you said. I have tried all of these and am also disappointed. The foundations I used to rely on to keep me matte are no longer. Thanks goodness I bought 5 bottles of the previous Lancôme TI…my fave!!!
Fool that i am i just discovered you in recent months and this series. Wow. BEST SERIES EVER! I have some catching up to do so if already reviewed (no idea how long theyve been out) I apologize; dior forever as well as yves saint laurent all hours foundation. Also, when will you be updating your all time fave foundation list? Looks like it's from 2020 and I'm very intriqued to see if theyve changed. Two of your faves are my faves.
Do you have a list of your absolute favorite foundations? My skin is exactly like yours, and even though Virginia has about 3 cold months each year, I’m 47, and I’m still hot! 😂
I have a top foundations playlist you can check out under the playlists header on my main page. But I'm in the process of reviewing my lists (because of all these new releases) so I can update them. It's been a while since I've done one! I also like to categorize them! I'm coming out with my first updated one pretty soon! Thank you!
Woop Woop!! Love these foundation reviews shade twin! I'm one of the seems like few that loves the new formula Dior Backstage better than the original. I'm a very oily gal in a humid state and it works perfectly for me. The original formula was a bit too dry for me but still beautiful. I LOVED your rant. MIC DROP Steph. Agree with you 100!! Gonna try a couple of these other recommendations!
How disappointing to hear about the Dior Backstage. I wasn't aware they had reforumlated it. I am down to the bottom of the bottle I currently have and was debating about whether or not I wanted to repurchase because I'm a super oily girl. This makes the decision pretty easy for me.
🎉Great video and research. I am 59+, and never worn foundation. Where does one start to buy now with all these " new and improved"😮 or " reformulated",🤔. I have oily skin and minimal lines. Stephanie, help??!! What makeup should I start with,lol. Ty.
Has anyone found a dupe for the original Dior backstage yet in either high end or drugstore? I have half a bottle left but I'm going to need a plan when tjat runs out.
I've never tried Dior Backstage before the reformulation, so I do not know about the original but I bought the new one recently, and it is one of the worst foundations i used, it does not blur anything , and when i add more it becomes cakey, it was a big let down especially that i tried to wear it after wearing chanel no.1 foundation which was the best foundation i have ever tried.
Curious if you have ever tried the Beautyblender Skin Tint. I've tried several skin tints, and wonder how it compares to the Too Faced Skin Tint you reviewed here.
I have that Too Faced tint, found that it pilled with my sunscreen (Unseen, Tatcha Mineral sunscreen), help! Did you apply a primer? I really wanted this to work
I didn't have that problem! The sunscreens I used the most when testing these were Summer Fridays and Elta MD. I always massage them in like a lotion and let them sink in for a good 15 minutes before applying any makeup. As I said in my intro section, I always test all foundations with no primer and with various primers. I didn't have pilling problems either way. What did you use to apply it? I usually prefer to apply my foundations with a damp or dry sponge because the pouncing motion eliminates most issues like kicking up dry flakes or other things that can otherwise occur. I hope it can work for you!
@@StephanieMarie I tried to apply with a foundation brush and my fingers, I will try using my damp sponge! Yes, it’s tough but wait for sunscreen to sink in, you are so right! Thanks for responding!!
"Some kind of magic." Hahahaha! You are too funny! Thanks for all your hard work Stephanie, trying foundations that you don't even like. That's dedication, and it is appreciated. I have a reformulation story for you. Dr. Brandt's Hyaluronic Face Cream has been my only choice for years. It was great at plumping my skin that had changed so much due to menopause. Suddenly my skin was dry, my laugh lines deeper and the good old marionette lines were suddenly more pronounced. This cream plumped up everything so well it was my ride or die face cream. I went to re-order and couldn't find it on the web site this week! I found the 2.0 version and ordered that, and I do not like it. It went from a whipped gel to a thick, dry feeling cream, and it didn't do anything for my skin. I sent an e mail questioning this change and got on the computer, I managed to find the original at Skinessentials and snapped it up. I totally agree with you!
It’s because they don’t want to lose market share and sales. They let you buy one bottle of the new one, knowing you won’t buy it again but at least they have locked you down for 6 mths.
My apologies for not including that. If you ever need more information about ingredients, etc it's included when you look at the product info link I provide in the description box for you. l went ahead and looked up all of them for you and see that only Too Faced and BareMinerals are alcohol free. So you're in look with the Too Faced! :)
I NEVER liked the Lancome Teint Idole. It just sits in my drawer, I keep trying it, and keep hating it. (and this IS the original version) but I was influenced to buy it, because everybody loved it so much, and it ALWAYS broke up on me, always added texture, just all around a terrible foundation. Im tempted to try the one with the white lid because it sounds like Id love it, but dont want to get stuck with another full bottle of foundation that I wont use. 😅
I tried the Complexion Rescue in their original formula, but it does not play well with others. It pilled and did not cover well for me. It might be better if you have nothing under it, but l’m not going to do that.
Stephanie !!!! I'm so bummed !🤦♀️ I was super excited about the Dior Face & Body review (I knew it was coming soon) and I thought for sure you would test an area on the body about the coverage (pick a bruise- us 40+ all are getting that "thin skin" so we bruise easier) you missed the boat on that 🤷♀️ I'm 💯 positive everyone else was hoping for this too🤷♀️ NOT a fan of sitting in the Sephora chair and having them poke and prod my arms or legs in front of everyone to test out shades 😫 I know Dermablend is epic (but with their limited color match, good luck finding a matching shade !🙄) I seriously think a body makeup video would be amazing ! Since you're in Nola and I'm in Tucson (both hot AF 🔥) there is no way we're wearing stockings 🥵 to cover up our "old lady spots" 😂 I will 💯 guarantee THAT would be one of your most viewed videos !🙏🤞😊
Hi Kami, You're actually the only person that's mentioned anything about the body. Since the main point of testing these foundations is for the face. And if it doesn't work on my face, there's really no point, in proceeding with the body, right? 🤷🏼♀️ If I'm buying something for my body, it needs to come in a bigger bottle than that and not cost as much. Sally Hansen anyone? I shared that in an Amazon video and it's really good.
@@StephanieMarie I didn't realize (or maybe forgot) Sally Hansen had one ! Now here's the catch.. making it blend with self tanner🤔 now that's the question 🤷♀️
Thank you very much, Stephanie Marie for your reviews! I absolutely agree with you, that brands tend to mislead consumers selling completely different new products under well-known names. The same happens to perfumes as well, unfortunately. I also agree, that with the new 'clean beauty' trend we get make-up products that are neither make-up, nor skin care...
Help! What is an alternative to Dior Backstage? Dior customer service is the worst! I have bought several bottle of Dior Backstage foundation, and the most recent bottle I received is awful. Then I saw your video that the formula had changed. Why do they have to ruin a good thing? That was the same when I was using Estée Lauder double wear light that was my go to. You turned me on to Dior Backstage. I loved it. New formula, not so much. I work 8-5 and it’s and it’s very hot and humid here in FL. I have tried sooo may and spent so much money. I want the stuff that works back!
I AGREE...just rip the band aid off and tell us that the tried and true formulas 'are gone'. Disappointed with most reformulations. Actually feel it's misleading to keep the same names.
Oh no about the original Lancôme. That is my all time fav and holy grail. I don’t even care for the white cap Lancôme. I’m also in a humid hot climate…Charleston, Sc. I’ve even tried other higher end foundations and go back to the original Lancôme. I like Nars but it seems to need a setting powder and I won’t use finishing powders/sprays. I also don’t like wearing a primer. I use vita liberata body body blur to add color to my foundations during the summer when my skin is darker or I want a bronzer. I’m a month shy of being 50.
I have gone back and forth on the Guerlain foundation so many times and I'm not sure why i havent tried it....think i will do so now!! Your review on the Dior face & body is super disappointing!!! Thankfully i very recently bought a new bottle of the old one! Again the Too Faced ive stayed away from because of the glow in the name!! Goidness 2 new foundations to try!!!! Lol
I swear, I can’t find a good foundation with a good color…it’s either one or the other. The new urban decay has a great color range with one that is perfect for me, but it does not dry down. If you touch your face, you pick up the foundation. Sigh
Damn, got a backup for my Dior backstage old version, but bought a new one as well, still waiting for it to try, will definitely mix it, I usually mix my foundations with Paula’s Choice sunscreen for oily combo skin,love it. So will try to mix new Dior with it as well,maybe with more matte bulletproof Australian gold sunscreen will work with new version even better, will try…glad I have a backup for old version…they had to do a new version as a complete new foundation range, not just reformulate and discontinue the previous one😢
I probably should’ve waited till you finished it. I thought you were gonna love it, but maybe I’ll just go with my under eye, concealer colour and go for my skin tone concealer it because I find it just looks amazing on the face no foundation needed and it lasts for hours.

You are my foundation queen!! Thank you for such thoughtful, thorough reviews of foundation and concealer for women over 40! It’s a different ballgame when you are 40+ and looking for a match. You’re the best, Steph! Also, couldn’t agree more with you about reformulations…who is asking for it?! Ugh! Wish companies would knock it off with that.
It's SUCH a different ballgame. Sometimes I feel like my skin is different day to day! Thank you! 💗
Yay! Roundups are my fav. Thanks for showing application full screen. It's so much easier to see. The guerlain looked so nice on you.
I'm so grateful you're here !
I'm glad it helped! Thanks Lena! I'm grateful YOU'RE here too! 💖
I lovethe Guerlain foundation sooo much!!! I was sceptical about buying it (I have very oily skin snd I'm 43) but it's wonderful on me. Wore it with the make up for ever smoothing primer and had no oil or shine after 9 hours! It looks great on me!🌸🌸🌸
Was very disappointed in the "reformulated" Face & Body. I returned it. I agree 100%. These brands should just bring out "new" foundations instead of reformulations. They're never that close to the originals.
Agreed. I am glad I was not alone in thinking the new formula was not as good.
Nooooo, that is what I’m afraid! Dior Backstage Face & Body is my holy grail foundation, and I’m not sure to buy the new one. 😢
They don’t want to spend on marketing for new products so they just “reformulate”
I saw this foundation recommended SO many times and was so excited to try. I ordered one and thought to myself, "What is everyone so excited about?!" Then, I found out about the reformulation. Why would you mess with a foundation that everyone really loved?
I agree 100%
What a bummer on the Dior! That was my go to foundation. I’d want to try the Too Faced but not a fun of chemical sunscreen.
Such an interesting video Steph, I know what you mean about the ‘reformulation’ products being a completely different product, very annoying! The 2 faced one looks amazing!!
I appreciate these reviews so much. I love in Florida which is also so hot and humid so I’m always wary of new foundations that say luminous. Great video.
The Guerlain looked phenomenal on you! Your face looked flawless!
Thank you!
I love the Too Faced tint/foundation but with a lot of tints, I’m in between two shades. Had to buy 2 different shades to mix to find a better shade match. Also I’m so glad I stocked up on my Dior Face and Body before the reformulation! Louisiana heat likes to melt my foundation off as well and those both work pretty good against that.
Excited to hear this update!
I absolutely love my taroca foundation I have extremely dry post menopause so I wasn't totally sold on it. Until I started using it and I'm in love.
I'm so upset about the Dior backstage being reformulated into something totally different! That was a holy grail!
Even if brands are hell bent on calling a product "reformulated" , why don't they let US choose which one WE want. Just by keeping the original product available would be a great help. But no, they remove the original and we are left very disappointed.
Love you lots 💗💕💗💕💗
Agreed 👍 ❤
I have been waiting for your take on the new Dior foundation, and am so disappointed to hear that it has changed so much. Totally agree with your take on most reformulatIons.
Great video! Ty. Can't wait for the Concealer round up!❤️
You and Risa are my Go To's for foundation reviews. I've been on the fence about the Guerlain foundation, but after your review I'm ready to purchase now. Thanks!
I hope you like it! Keep me updated! Thank you!! :)
I had the same experience with the Lancôme foundation. I may try the Too Face. It didn’t appeal to me because I thought it would be too shiny. Thank you for the reviews!
I almost didn't try it for the same reason! Let me know your thoughts if you do! :)
Great video Stephanie! I can’t wait for your concealer video 😊
I also just want to say as someone new to the series (and currently binging) i appreciate the larger video on the side with your wear photos than the smaller cut outs in the past. Thank you!
After looking at your blog site, I realized that we are foundation twins! So happy to finally find an influencer who uses the same shades! Could you please review cle de peau and Sisley foundations???
I used to not be able to use any foundation with spf in it. My skin is very reactive to certain ingredients and being a very fair, redhead sucks because most sunscreens irritate my skin.
I'm behind you on your reformulation rant. I LOVE the original Dior Backstage Face & Body. Guess I won't be buying a new one when my current bottle runs out.
I wear Complexion Rescue in the non-matte formula. I like it very much. I use tretinoin and my skin can get flaky. This works better than many other foundations on my skin. I apply it with my fingertips over sunscreen.
Thanks so much for a great roundup. I’m so disappointed to hear about the new Dior face and body as i absolutely love the original which i bought based on your recommendation. The new one isn’t available here in Australia yet so I i may have to stock up on the original before it gets replaced as i don’t think I’ll enjoy it at all. The two faced one sounds promising though!
I really like the original dior foundation too. I wasn't sure if i liked the Guerlain foundation at first but the more i wore it the more i liked it.
I loved your video..i also agree with you about the reformalation with foundations!! I also like to know your advice on drugstore brand foundation. I like medium to full coverage Do you have any recommendations for me?? I appreciate your help!!! Thank you!!!❤😊
The Guerlain looked amazing
I’m so disappointed with the reviews I’ve seen on the Dior backstage as this was a holy grail foundation for me! I hope they bring back the original formula after seeing so many people disappointed from this change 😩
I loved the original Lancome teint idole, used it for 20 yrs, and am heartbroken they reformulated it😢 I broke down and tried the new one and it’s awful, I had the same issues with it that Stephanie had. So on the hunt for a dupe of the original. I can’t understand why all these cosmetic lines reformulate their best sellers?? They’ve all jumped on the bandwagon with their skin loving ingredients nonsense! Which basically means they use that as an excuse to increase the price! I have skincare products for that and don’t need it in my foundation, also the sunscreen they use in foundation is a joke and wish they’d just leave that out so we can use our preferred one that’s going to be more effective anyway.
If anyone can suggest a good dupe for Lancome original Teint Idole I’d love to hear!
If u are more oily, can try shu Uemura matte but if u r less oily, can try Ysl matte new formulation which is quite close to Lancome in my opinion (higher coverage).
I’ll look into both of those, I appreciate the suggestions, thank you so much!
I've been using Lancome Tient Idole for 30 years. It was my holy grail. The "reformulation" is worthless! Misleading to keep the same name. I'm so disappointed, looking for the next best thing now. So far, Gucci Luminous Matte seems best. Love to hear other suggestions.
Sometimes they are forced to reformulate due to ingredient availability. Lately I’ve noticed that is the case with a lot of products. Not just in the makeup world either.
I will say huda beauty powder has kept me shine free for so long it’s amazing. Bit cakey but I’ve been using it to set and bake under eyes and it’s so good. I bought it on sale, I rather use that every day instead of my Laura mercier powder. But yeah
I did review both of those in previous videos! They're also really nice! :)
I'm most intrigued by the Too Faced Born this way foundation..... we'll see if i cave. 💕💕 i appreciate u sharing ur thoughts and opinions
Dior has broken my heart with all the discontinuations & reformulations. They were my holy grail brand for all things complexion & now I’m back at square one. So infuriating that they would take away and/or change iconic products that worked for SO MANY people. Now I’m back to Estée Lauder Double Wear, Make Up For Ever HD Skin & MAC Pro Long Wear. All of which I like but Dior AirFlash & Face & Body gave me the coverage I wanted without feeling too heavy. They even reformulated the Forever Matte & I’m not a huge fan of it now. Don’t even get me started on the reformulation of Forever Skin Correct.😩😭😂 Apparently I needed to rant too lmao! Thank you for these amazing, honest reviews.❤
RANT AWAY my girl! I'm here for you! 💖
@@StephanieMarie I was so waiting for your thoughts ont the new Dior FB. I am so disappointed myself. The original was my HG and worked every single time no matter what. It was perfect, so much so that I had backups of it in my two shades. The new one does look beautiful on me but I get so shiny and I can feel it moving around on my t-zone. It's a no go and I live in cold dry climate. I am so sad. I saw it coming though, Dior did ruin a lot of products with their reformulations and you rant was more than justified.
I am now back at square one and I don't know what to pick.
I've been researching to find a new foundation that plays well with my skin so this video was much needed.
Thank you!
Also the Guerlain foundation looked custom made for you.
It made your skin look lit from within.
Absolutely flawless!
Thank you so much!
Agree all these reformulations are a joke and need to just be a new products. Just break our heart and discontinue our favorites.
I love the original lancolm matte foundation. I almost bought the reformulated one but realized how dumb that would be since i have the other with a lot left.
Oh no! I love the original Dior. Thanks for the review.
I loved the Lancôme Teint Idole but we have not got the reformulated version here in Australia yet. Coming Sept is the latest update but it sounds like I am not going to be happy. It was a really great foundation. Taking note of your favourites 😊
Now I am royally pissed off and agree with your rant. I hope Dior and Lancome are listening. Now I will have to search for a new HG foundation and mascara due to formula changes. Thanks so much, I appreciate and trust your reviews.
First, just want to thank you for doing long term testing, not just first impressions and then providing photos of what things look like throughout the day. Second, I share your frustration with "reformulations." Maybe you've already done this and I've just missed it, but an entire video of reformulation comparisons would be so good! What actually improved and what didn't? Thanks again!
OMG you had me at humidity! I'm in FL, 50, help me!
This is bad news for me. I ordered bareMinerals Complexion Rescue tinted moisturizer with spf 30 and just received it. I'm sort of not enthused about even trying it on. That's the way I usually roll..🙄. Thank you for the video. I am turning 75 in November so my skin is so much fun to work with......🙃
I just bought the Colourpop pretty fresh foundation and I love it! I am 49 with mature dry skin! I love it! I like watching you and mainly for foundations to avoid. In my experience anything that says vegan it means it’s formulated with some form of avocado 🥑 or papaya in it and I’m allergic to both! Some IT cosmetics is even out for me! Thanks for your reviews!
Love the Guerlain Terracotta foundation. Have you tried Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin foundation? So good!
I have :) It's in one of my foundation roundups :)
I had great luck with the reformulated Lancome foundation once I got a good color match. I could not get on board with the new Too Faced wanted to love it but it was awful. Agree with previous views on Dior....
I completely agree about the Lancome reformulation. I have dry skin and have the exact same issues. I’ve worn this foundation for over 10 years, so I’m really sad about it.
Thank you for the foundation testing!❤
I feel companies reformulate because most people want natural products. Each company should have a regular version and a natural version.
I’m one that prefers regular versions and I usually steer clear of natural products because most of the time they are full of fragrances and essential oils which I do not put on my skin
Thank you for a great video - definitely want to try the Guerlain one. Would love your thoughts on
Rituel de Fille 3 Drop Weightless Serum Foundation 🙂
I haven't tried that one. Thank you!
Hi Stephanie, thanks for another great review. I’m not a big makeup wearer, but do love a great foundation that makes my skin look perfected. My go to was the Dior Backstage. I to live in Louisiana, with makeup melting as soon as you walk outside. What would be your next holy grail that you would recommend? I have the same skin type as you enlarged pores , rosacea ,texture. I’m 49. I don’t want anything heavy more skin like.
If anyone has any recommendations I would love you input
Thank you! Have a great Sunday
I'm working on a top long-wearing foundations video right now! I want to be 100% sure before I recommend it to you! Stay tuned for that video. I'm wear testing all my top ones now to give my top-top picks and (hopefully) a number one!
@@StephanieMarie thank you so much for the reply!
I love Bareminerals Bare Pro liquid foundation. I’m 56.
You are my go to for foundation recommendations… I’m so disappointed in the Dior backstage review… I was so hoping it would remain the same. That being said I’ve heard good things about ritual de fille three drop weightless serum foundation. Wondering if you would please please check this out and do a review.
Original Dior Backstage was a holy grail for me, too. I have one opened bottle left of the original version, and I've been waiting for your thoughts on this new formulation. You are my go to jumping off point for foundations.
Enjoy that last bottle my friend! Thank you so much! 💗
@StephanieMarie I wore it for my wedding 2 weeks ago in Vegas. So at least I had it for that!
And I thought that my skim was just freaking out, when all along it was the reformulation of the backstage 👎🏼👎🏼
Ugh! That's the worst! I'm glad I was able to clear it up for you!
I never liked the original complexion rescue. It has no coverage. I don't understand why it's considered a tinted moisturizer, it's just a greasy moisturizer 😂
I am enjoying the Revlon Illuminance foundation, check it out and great price. Thanks for another informative video!
I've been trying this one out! Stay tuned for Sunday! :)
OMG what a bummer! I’m so glad that I had just bought my Tient Idole Lancome before the reformulation sounds like a no lol plus they don’t make my shade anymore and it was an exact match for my skin 🙁😕🙁 I’m trying the Dior forever if I can ever get the right shade lol
I’m glad I found this channel. I live in the southern part of Texas and it verbatim what you said about your climate. I also have combo skin. I’m only 36 but I’m going to age so I’m interested in what I should use in the future.
Hi Stephanie. I love your foundation reviews because they are so thorough. I totally agree with you when it comes to "reformulated" products. Just tell us you're discontinuing the product and introducing a new one.
Do you think the Guerlain foundation would work for dry skin? It looks so good on you.
Hi! I'd grab a sample if you can. I know my friend Michele (Wang) didn't love it on her very dry skin in her uber-dry climate, but it depends on many factors. I've heard of people with dry skin loving it. It's worth a try for sure!
@@StephanieMarie Thanks! Great idea. 😊
Allergic to all of these. 😭 Appreciate the reviews regardless, though!
Oh no! What are you allergic to?
Thank you for the review. I am trying to decide between the Lancome and the Guerlain. I don't live in a humid climate. I have oily, sensitive skin, which one do you think would work?
Personally, I'd go for the Guerlain. It lasted so much better on me than Lancome. I was actually quite shocked by it. Can you try a sample?
@@StephanieMarie thanks for the info. I will try the Guerlain
There are extremely strict standards (that have been updated in the last few years) that determine how many ingredients can change in a cosmetic/beauty/hair product before it must be deemed a “new” product versus a reformulation. I work in the beauty industry and it’s not as lenient as you think. It is more common that the manufacturing mechanisms are changed, making the same ingredients interact with each other differently.
You are spot on with your reformulation comment. I particularly think DIOR blew it with their reformulations. The cult classics and faves are a big fail. They are just not as good as the originals. I bought Forever Skin Glow Hydrating Foundation SPF 15 earlier this year and it is anything but skin glowing. It cakes up on my face and doesn't wear well. My drugstore foundations perform better. I expected more from DIOR. I love your channel! I learn so much from you.
Yes! I tried Dior glow foundation and it was matte on me! I just thought it was because I’m on tret. Do you have any favorite light to medium coverage foundations that’s dewy, doesn’t cling to dry patches and hydrating
@@clisaa6974
I am loving the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua. It is light but gives great coverage. Nice for summer. For my skin it goes on as a light to medium coverage. Also buildable.
@@PickleDoll432 thank you! I’ll look at that one 😊
There will lots of reformulations coming because of new laws passed in the EU on ingredients being banned and some being banned at certain percentages to make them safe for use
I think I am the only person who prefers the new Dior F&B? It works for my sensitive skin much better than the overly fragranced original. The alcohol in the prior version also caused that version to break up on my skin mid day. So might be worth a try for people with sensitive skin? Just dropping in comments for other sensitive/ rosacea skin types:) the new version has the alcohol slightly lower in the ingredient list.
On the other hand, the new formula has "botanical" fragrance, which almost certainly means essential oils. In the long run, they may be way more sensitizing to the skin than alkohol and artificial fragrances combined.
That being said, they should have kept the original formula for the oilier among us and introduce the new one as a hydrating version.
It was my holy grail, and my sole one after Too Faced discontinued the Peach Perfect and replaced it with the mediocre Born This Way Matte last year. I even made an exception for it from the cruelty free status - it is so hard for me to find a foundation (I am extremely oily, have a pale olive undertone and my skin hates the heavy pasty foundations like EL DW) that I decided it was better for the environment to buy 1-2 bottles of that a year instead of keep buying new products and failing to like them.
New and "Unimproved." I hate it when they change the formulation. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't have been using it. They usually loose a customer, me, when that happens.
I got a sample tube of foundation from a brand called Yensa in an IPSY bag, that I’m loving. It’s called Yensa Super Serum Silk Foundation. The shade light neutral is perfect for me. I think it’s better for dryer skins like mine (and I’m 53). It touts some skincare benefits that I’m not sure that it’s doing, like brightening and firming, and it says it’s full coverage. I like that I get coverage without it feeling or looking heavy. I think I’m gonna buy the full size when I run out of the sample (0.34 oz), but it seems to only be available on QVC.
Thank you so much for the reviews. Do you get more coverage with a dry or damp sponge
More coverage with a dry sponge! It's a great option if a brush takes too long to blend or gives you streaks, etc. :)
I realize this is an older video but……..I have a suggestion with the Lancôme tient edole foundation!!!! I love it but find if I mix it with one pump of my NYX Can’t stop won’t stop foundation AND apply it with YOUR , stephaniemarie, double wear technique…. I am much happier with the results. I also do initial application with my fingers and follow with the damp sponge. Beautiful! ❤
Noooo😢😢 first they discontinue the Airflash and now this with the Face and Body?? Do I need to find a new perfect foundation?? Oh noooo
Stephanie, I agree with everything you said. I have tried all of these and am also disappointed. The foundations I used to rely on to keep me matte are no longer. Thanks goodness I bought 5 bottles of the previous Lancôme TI…my fave!!!
Fool that i am i just discovered you in recent months and this series. Wow. BEST SERIES EVER! I have some catching up to do so if already reviewed (no idea how long theyve been out) I apologize; dior forever as well as yves saint laurent all hours foundation. Also, when will you be updating your all time fave foundation list? Looks like it's from 2020 and I'm very intriqued to see if theyve changed. Two of your faves are my faves.
I'm in the process of gathering things together to update them soon. I need to get some solid verdicts first and am doing that now. :) Thank you!
Do you have a list of your absolute favorite foundations? My skin is exactly like yours, and even though Virginia has about 3 cold months each year, I’m 47, and I’m still hot! 😂
I have a top foundations playlist you can check out under the playlists header on my main page. But I'm in the process of reviewing my lists (because of all these new releases) so I can update them. It's been a while since I've done one! I also like to categorize them! I'm coming out with my first updated one pretty soon! Thank you!
@@StephanieMarie I’m looking forward to it! Thanks!
Woop Woop!! Love these foundation reviews shade twin! I'm one of the seems like few that loves the new formula Dior Backstage better than the original. I'm a very oily gal in a humid state and it works perfectly for me. The original formula was a bit too dry for me but still beautiful. I LOVED your rant. MIC DROP Steph. Agree with you 100!! Gonna try a couple of these other recommendations!
How disappointing to hear about the Dior Backstage. I wasn't aware they had reforumlated it. I am down to the bottom of the bottle I currently have and was debating about whether or not I wanted to repurchase because I'm a super oily girl. This makes the decision pretty easy for me.
🎉Great video and research. I am 59+, and never worn foundation. Where does one start to buy now with all these " new and improved"😮 or " reformulated",🤔. I have oily skin and minimal lines. Stephanie, help??!! What makeup should I start with,lol. Ty.
The worst makeup Lacome
Remember when they reformulated Coke?
LOL! Sure do!! Showing our ages!
😂 Oh yes, the NEW Coke fiasco
Has anyone found a dupe for the original Dior backstage yet in either high end or drugstore? I have half a bottle left but I'm going to need a plan when tjat runs out.
I've never tried Dior Backstage before the reformulation, so I do not know about the original but I bought the new one recently, and it is one of the worst foundations i used, it does not blur anything , and when i add more it becomes cakey, it was a big let down especially that i tried to wear it after wearing chanel no.1 foundation which was the best foundation i have ever tried.
Curious if you have ever tried the Beautyblender Skin Tint. I've tried several skin tints, and wonder how it compares to the Too Faced Skin Tint you reviewed here.
I have. Here's the full review: ruclips.net/video/dw9jGa7aCu8/видео.html :)
@@StephanieMarie Thank you :)
Thanks for the bare minerals review. I was really thinking about that one
I have that Too Faced tint, found that it pilled with my sunscreen (Unseen, Tatcha Mineral sunscreen), help!
Did you apply a primer? I really wanted this to work
I didn't have that problem! The sunscreens I used the most when testing these were Summer Fridays and Elta MD. I always massage them in like a lotion and let them sink in for a good 15 minutes before applying any makeup. As I said in my intro section, I always test all foundations with no primer and with various primers. I didn't have pilling problems either way. What did you use to apply it? I usually prefer to apply my foundations with a damp or dry sponge because the pouncing motion eliminates most issues like kicking up dry flakes or other things that can otherwise occur. I hope it can work for you!
@@StephanieMarie I tried to apply with a foundation brush and my fingers, I will try using my damp sponge! Yes, it’s tough but wait for sunscreen to sink in, you are so right! Thanks for responding!!
"Some kind of magic." Hahahaha! You are too funny! Thanks for all your hard work Stephanie, trying foundations that you don't even like. That's dedication, and it is appreciated. I have a reformulation story for you. Dr. Brandt's Hyaluronic Face Cream has been my only choice for years. It was great at plumping my skin that had changed so much due to menopause. Suddenly my skin was dry, my laugh lines deeper and the good old marionette lines were suddenly more pronounced. This cream plumped up everything so well it was my ride or die face cream. I went to re-order and couldn't find it on the web site this week! I found the 2.0 version and ordered that, and I do not like it. It went from a whipped gel to a thick, dry feeling cream, and it didn't do anything for my skin. I sent an e mail questioning this change and got on the computer, I managed to find the original at Skinessentials and snapped it up. I totally agree with you!
Oh wow! I'm glad you found one!! Thank you! :)
It’s because they don’t want to lose market share and sales. They let you buy one bottle of the new one, knowing you won’t buy it again but at least they have locked you down for 6 mths.
Thank u for the video! Which ones of your top picks are alcohol free? Thats a requirement for me if i use daily. The Too Faced sounds nice!
My apologies for not including that. If you ever need more information about ingredients, etc it's included when you look at the product info link I provide in the description box for you. l went ahead and looked up all of them for you and see that only Too Faced and BareMinerals are alcohol free. So you're in look with the Too Faced! :)
I NEVER liked the Lancome Teint Idole. It just sits in my drawer, I keep trying it, and keep hating it. (and this IS the original version) but I was influenced to buy it, because everybody loved it so much, and it ALWAYS broke up on me, always added texture, just all around a terrible foundation. Im tempted to try the one with the white lid because it sounds like Id love it, but dont want to get stuck with another full bottle of foundation that I wont use. 😅
I tried the Complexion Rescue in their original formula, but it does not play well with others. It pilled and did not cover well for me. It might be better if you have nothing under it, but l’m not going to do that.
Your necklace caught my eye a while back. Dean Davidson has some gorgeous pieces. Can you tell me how they hold up over time with wear?
Stephanie !!!!
I'm so bummed !🤦♀️ I was super excited about the Dior Face & Body review (I knew it was coming soon) and I thought for sure you would test an area on the body about the coverage (pick a bruise- us 40+ all are getting that "thin skin" so we bruise easier) you missed the boat on that 🤷♀️ I'm 💯 positive everyone else was hoping for this too🤷♀️
NOT a fan of sitting in the Sephora chair and having them poke and prod my arms or legs in front of everyone to test out shades 😫
I know Dermablend is epic (but with their limited color match, good luck finding a matching shade !🙄)
I seriously think a body makeup video would be amazing ! Since you're in Nola and I'm in Tucson (both hot AF 🔥) there is no way we're wearing stockings 🥵 to cover up our "old lady spots" 😂
I will 💯 guarantee THAT would be one of your most viewed videos !🙏🤞😊
Hi Kami, You're actually the only person that's mentioned anything about the body. Since the main point of testing these foundations is for the face. And if it doesn't work on my face, there's really no point, in proceeding with the body, right? 🤷🏼♀️ If I'm buying something for my body, it needs to come in a bigger bottle than that and not cost as much. Sally Hansen anyone? I shared that in an Amazon video and it's really good.
@@StephanieMarie I didn't realize (or maybe forgot) Sally Hansen had one ! Now here's the catch.. making it blend with self tanner🤔 now that's the question 🤷♀️
Btw.. been slacking and haven't watched in awhile. Dad had a mild stroke🤦♀️ he's good though.. as long as he listens and doesn't get stubborn 😠
I kept peeking at your amazing closet for ideas!
Haha! You can see the whole thing in my house tour I uploaded a few months ago! 💗
Thank you very much, Stephanie Marie for your reviews!
I absolutely agree with you, that brands tend to mislead consumers selling completely different new products under well-known names. The same happens to perfumes as well, unfortunately.
I also agree, that with the new 'clean beauty' trend we get make-up products that are neither make-up, nor skin care...
like lancomb and also estee lauder
Help! What is an alternative to Dior Backstage? Dior customer service is the worst! I have bought several bottle of Dior Backstage foundation, and the most recent bottle I received is awful. Then I saw your video that the formula had changed. Why do they have to ruin a good thing? That was the same when I was using Estée Lauder double wear light that was my go to. You turned me on to Dior Backstage. I loved it. New formula, not so much. I work 8-5 and it’s and it’s very hot and humid here in FL. I have tried sooo may and spent so much money. I want the stuff that works back!
I AGREE...just rip the band aid off and tell us that the tried and true formulas 'are gone'. Disappointed with most reformulations. Actually feel it's misleading to keep the same names.
Can you PLEASE REVIEW the Yenza Super Serum Silk Foundation????!!!!!Im dying to purchase it, but I just can’t do it until you review it. Lol! ❤
Oh no about the original Lancôme. That is my all time fav and holy grail. I don’t even care for the white cap Lancôme. I’m also in a humid hot climate…Charleston, Sc. I’ve even tried other higher end foundations and go back to the original Lancôme. I like Nars but it seems to need a setting powder and I won’t use finishing powders/sprays. I also don’t like wearing a primer. I use vita liberata body body blur to add color to my foundations during the summer when my skin is darker or I want a bronzer. I’m a month shy of being 50.
I have gone back and forth on the Guerlain foundation so many times and I'm not sure why i havent tried it....think i will do so now!! Your review on the Dior face & body is super disappointing!!! Thankfully i very recently bought a new bottle of the old one! Again the Too Faced ive stayed away from because of the glow in the name!! Goidness 2 new foundations to try!!!! Lol
I swear, I can’t find a good foundation with a good color…it’s either one or the other. The new urban decay has a great color range with one that is perfect for me, but it does not dry down. If you touch your face, you pick up the foundation. Sigh
Damn, got a backup for my Dior backstage old version, but bought a new one as well, still waiting for it to try, will definitely mix it, I usually mix my foundations with Paula’s Choice sunscreen for oily combo skin,love it. So will try to mix new Dior with it as well,maybe with more matte bulletproof Australian gold sunscreen will work with new version even better, will try…glad I have a backup for old version…they had to do a new version as a complete new foundation range, not just reformulate and discontinue the previous one😢
I probably should’ve waited till you finished it. I thought you were gonna love it, but maybe I’ll just go with my under eye, concealer colour and go for my skin tone concealer it because I find it just looks amazing on the face no foundation needed and it lasts for hours.
