- Hi Friends, hope you enjoy this video! Have you tried the new Kosas Foundation? I was really excited to try this new clean beauty foundation from Kosas. I have been having very dry skin lately and I think this one would perform better for me when my skin isn't so dehydrated and dry.

Hi Lisa,
I literally laughed out loud when you asked us to tell you how our skin has changed!. I’m 63 and have always had oily/combo skin, but as each decade passes it gets progressively drier. Hydrating the skin is essential as is hydrating inside! The journey is beautiful no matter what our skin does. Aging is a fragile gift we must embrace.
This is so interesting because it's glowy on me and now a holy grail! I have very dry skin and live in Boise, which is a high desert climate. I think it's amazing how products work so differently on people even with similar skin types. I'm sure skin care, climate, etc all play a role. Love your videos as always :)
I've always battled with dry skin and I have tweaked my skincare and learned what to avoid.
I never use a foundation the has hyaluronic acid in the ingredients.
The reason being - HA draws moisture from anywhere, above, below and surrounding areas. Therefore, it will draw any remaining moisture from my, already parched, skin, thus causing my skin to become even MORE dry!
During autumn/winter, I don't use HA as it just makes the dry skin worse.
I also, "sandwich" each application of my night time serums etc, between layers of nourishing/hydrating essences/toners. My need for extra hydration really increases during the colder months.
I hope this info is of some help to any fellow dry skin sufferers. You have my sympathy and condolences 😉
Oh yes, I almost forgot - this foundation,obviously, isn't for me, 😂😂
Thank you for this awesome vid 👍👍👍👍
Love you so very much 💗💗💜💗💗💜💗💗
PS - Your hair looks sooooooooo beautiful 😍
Hi. What clean ingredient foundation do you recommend without hyaluronic acid as it seems like they all have it in their ingredients ? I never know what to get. The kosas is terribly drying I tried it too. Thx Karla
Chrissy, you're exactly right. I'm a licensed esthetician, and I only use it in the Summer months, because of this issue. I hate that it has become the "it ingredient" in everything now.
@@daynad8104
Yessssssssssssss, and people are so impressed to see it in the products. In the meantime, I'm cringing as layers of makeup containing HA are being applied 😱
Appreciate this review. Age 40 is when I had to change my entire makeup routine because none of the products I had been using in my 30s worked for me anymore and that’s when I dove into the mature makeup world. Thank goodness for Angie at Hot & Flashy who helped me find great products that were a lot better for my more mature skin. BUT the upside is that your 40s are when you start to feel the most comfortable in your skin and you stop worrying as much about what other people think of you. Your experience with the Kosas foundation is very similar to what I experienced with their concealer. I have very dry under eyes and I just find the concealer to be very drying which emphasizes my wrinkles. My guess is that their products are much better for younger skin and those with more normal to oily skin.
@Amy Swygert that’s interesting how the Kosas concealer didn’t work for you, for me it was the opposite, I’d been looking for a concealer for my mature @62 years young skin for so long and someone recommended the Kosas concealer to me and it’s been working great for under my eyes without any creasing at all, I don’t set it with any powder products as I’ve gotten older powder is my worst nightmare, especially under the eye area, it’s really interesting how products work differently for some even if they have dry/normal skin type, I’m more normal skin type than dry, due to using great skincare products, I think that’s where it all starts once we get older, changing up skincare products first. Cheers from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺😊❤️❤️🐣🐣
The Kosas concealer didn't work well for me, either. I've ended up using it as my eye primer, instead.
I’ll be 65 in August. My skin has been normal to dry my whole life. Since 45 or so my skin became dry. I always wear a moisturizing primer under my foundation. Without it, nothing looks good including tinted moisturizer. I also use a heavy moisturizer over my serums plus a primer. Your skin does look beautiful in the Kosas. 🤗💕
Angie’s skin care program is the best ever! I’m 76 and it is keeping dryness at bay…most of the time anyway, occasionally get dry patches around my nose or temples which I believe is related to a little too much trentinoin in those spots. Do look into it. ♥️ Love your videos.
Thank you so much Patricia! Have a lovely weekend!
PS: Thanks so much for starting to sell the Angie Hot & Flashy brushes on their own! I've had my eye on the concealer brush since the set first came out.
Now I'm just waiting for a sale!
I bought this because everyone was saying it was great, particularly for drier mature skin. I'm 53 with an oily T-zone and dry cheeks but this foundation looked awful on every part of my face! It looked greasy (not dewy), cakey, sank into all my pores and lines emphasising all of them, never dried down so I couldn't touch my face at all. I tried applying it in all sorts of ways but it was always terrible. You're the only reviewer I've seen who isn't enamoured with it!
I just turned 63. When I was in my 20s and 30s, my skin was an oil slick. The dryness struck around 40. It seems as if it happened overnight. Could also be the cumulative effect of using Tretinoin since my 20s. Hydration both internal and external is key.
The Kosas looks very pretty on your face. Perhaps trying a more emollient moisturizer might help.
Great video, Lisa. ❤❤😍
I’m 48 and this foundation is beautiful on me! It’s so interesting how it wears differently on everyone. It’s long wearing and I’ve worked out with it on my face and it held up beautifully. I use a damp sponge with it because my skin is dry and find that a brush lifts up my dry patches. It’s my new favorite!
I am also 48 but I have oily skin as I age and larger pores. I also use a sponge with all of my foundations to make my skin appear less textured. Do you find this foundation settles into your skin or is it smooth?
It did not settle into my pores and I have large pores as well. It wore great under my moisturizer and sunscreen.
I bought this foundation and this is what I also observed when the girl who applied it on my face while assisting me to choose right foundation at Mecca. After application my skin pores were so visible although I haven’t realised it I if I ever have open skin pores without makeup 😕I am in my late 40’s. I was very confused and not sure that if I did the right thing to buy it. I will return it as soon as possible. Thank you so much your review really helped me. It’s not meant for my skin.
As a 57-year-old, I find that my skin is extremely dry, flaky, and reactive. I had to eliminate chemical and physical exfoliators except for Retin-A every other night. Hope this helps! My skin is much better without using those products.
Yes, I'm almost 52 and went from oily to dry in the last few years. I'm not that dry, and I also live in the humid, hot South, so I do fine with Cerave moisturizer even in the winter.
I'm 76 & still have fairly oily skin ?! That's why I like matt foundations, also live in semi
tropical Australia, perhaps that helps !?? However, to me, you look great.
I had similar experiences. I was so surprised based on the hype. I tried it multiple days & got similar results.
You look GORGEOUS, Lisa! I am almost 55 and my skin is just now starting to change. I used to be a greasy, oily mess, but now I am getting more dry. It may be from age, but it also might be my usage of Tretinoin, which I started using about 3 yrs ago.
You HAVE to try the newer No7 Restore and Renew Serum Foundation. I have a ton of all the most popular high end foundations (I’m very picky with foundation), and the No7 is my new holy grail status. It’s more beautiful than anything I’ve ever seen on my skin, just absolutely stunning.
I’m 64 & yes my skin gets dry. I’ve had to remove foundation before! I know skin prep is really important. ❤️
I’m 47 with dry/ normal skin. This foundation Sucked the life out of my face. Horrible for Me. I sent it back. Love you Lisa! Also I am Absolutely bonkers about your lip products. Their amazing. Thank you! Xo
Same issue here and sent back!
I’m 50 an it did the same to me, did not like it at all
Same here! 🙄 I'm 44 🤷🏻♀️
@@Sandra.Viewer I read somewhere that hyaluronic acid can actually cause a reverse affect depending on your environment. 🤷♀️. I can’t use a serum either. I use a snail serum instead.
I had the exact same experience as you.
I’m 45 but still have oily areas, and I really like the foundation. My go to is the La Mer, and for me the Kosas wears just as well and I love the way it looks. I guess it is just really skin specific. Thanks for the review!
Kelly I have oily combo skin, how do you apply this, with a sponge or brush?
@@marthaspikes9669 I prefer a beauty blender. It doesn’t seem to set right with a brush.
Some things I’ve discovered about foundations: the sunscreen I use can make a big difference in how foundation looks on me, hyaluronic acid doesn’t work that well on everyone especially if the environment is very dry, some work and some don’t. I just hesitate so much to try a foundation based on what works on other people, but definitely not if the person has oily or combo skin. My skin is very dry but it has always been, even when I was a teenager (the upside was no acne!).
Hi Ginny, I agree about HA not working the same for everyone. I actually use Beta Glucan over hyuralonic acid. I have oily/combo skin and I just think the BG works best for me. I try to do my own research and test products to find what works best for me. However, some of these youtubers have excellent advise. I love Lisa. I will be 49 in July and ironically my skin is not drying it is oily and my pores look huge. I never had acne as a teenager or oily skin, but now I am having to use Tretinoin. Ugh aging is not always so graceful LOL :)
@ginnyburley I totally agree about the sunscreen. I wish more foundation left it out so we can choose our own.
I would love if you created a lighting situation where we can see the products on your skin better. In your foundation reviews, you mention things like pores, settling, caking, air brushing, smoothing, etc, but we can’t actually see any of these things. Your skin looks beautiful and the same in every single video I’ve ever watched. 😉 If you had said this foundation was gorgeous and air brushing I think we all would have believed you. I hope this doesn’t come across rude. Just something that crosses my mind when I watch. I really love your makeup tutorials and your brushes. Just ordered more!
Thank you for this review! I just got this foundation and I had the same thing happen. I was surprised and a little disappointed. My skin has definitely changed. I use to be oily, but my skin has been changing in the last several years to normal dry. Dry especially around my nose and between my eyebrows. I immediately saw patchiness around the folds of my nose, on the bridge, between my eyebrows and under my eye area. These are the areas where my pores are larger. My cheeks and forehead looked great. Gonna try with a pore filler primer and see how that works.
So many foundations don't work for my super dry skin that I've become a foundation mixologist! I had the same experience as you with the Kosas foundation, but I now mix it with my Colourpop Pretty Fresh hydrating foundation and I love the combo.
New subscriber here! You are literally speaking my skin story!!! I am 41 and my skin is drying on my face and my body! I am so happy to find a channel where the TH-camr doesn't have oily skin!
I almost bought this yesterday morning with the sale but they were out of my color and now I am kinda happy about it!
Foundation is so personal! I like this foundation. One pump is more than enough for me. Have you thought about trying an oil primer for your dry skin? I find that when my skin is the driest, an oil primer works wonders. The idea of an oil primer is scary, but it works wonders on me. NYX makes a great one! I find it’s the only way for some foundations to look smooth on me. When you set with powder, you can tone down the glow it gives.
Thanks for your honest review, friend!! 💗
Hi Lisa🌸LOVE your earrings! I am almost 58 years old and while my skin is still “normal”, it is drier than when I was younger and had to use matte everything! and oil-blotting powder papers. I actually love how my skin is now, not too dry, not too oily…even in cold Ohio winters, it’s not too dry. I am sold on L’oréal Infallible 24 hour foundation so while I watch all the videos, I am sticking with that one for now. :) Love my 101 brush for application. I hope you have a beautiful day!🌞
You have the most beautiful and flawless skin I've probably ever seen in my life. Just Flawless
I don't like any of their foundations but as far as skin, at 65 mine is very sensitive and still have some oil in my T zone in the summer especially. I fight bags under my eyes but not willing to have filler so just going with the flow. We all have to accept change and embrace it! :)
Thanks for the tip on dry skin, using the brush to bounce the foundation directly into the skin. I live in a hot but exceedingly dry area and my skin has definitely gotten dryer every single year, which is so frustrating. I think I will order your travel brush. I like a smaller handle. I had better stick to the NARS and It CC cream. I also like the Charlotte Tilbury. I can't afford to us any drying foundation. Thank you for all of this, Lisa!
Hi, Lisa, I recently bought this because of how beautiful it looked on Emily Noel. I'm on the fence, too. I have dry skin now at 59, whereas I had combination skin into my 30s. 40 seems to be when my skin started to gravitate more toward dry. Emily did say that less is more with this foundation; it works better if you use a light application, according to her. Maybe prep with more moisturizing products will help, too. Thanks for your honest review! I do want to buy the Cloud Set powder. That was impressive how it performed on your skin. 💕
I love the honesty and in depth detail. I have large pores and I am really weary of anything that settles into them. I love Kosas, but I will pass on this. Any suggestions for a 48 year old with combination skin who focuses mainly on a dewy, smooth, nontextured look? Also, I prefer a medium to light coverage. I do not want to look "runway" ready on a daily basis LOL :)
Thank you for the great idea on how to apply foundation to dry skin.
I am 56. I had quite oily skin as a young person, but like you, started to get a bit dry around your age. It wasn't until "the change" that it got really bad - now my skin is really, really dry! Had to change all my products.
Lisa, great review of this product. If your skin has rapidly changed, I would talk to your family doctor and have them run some blood work. It could be thyroid related. I'm 61 and have fought with dry skin for so many years but with the right skin care tweaks every now and again, makeup goes on better. Of course we have more texture now but I'm ok with that and take it as it comes. Thank you so much for the review. xo
Hi Lisa, I'm 50 and my skin has definitely gotten drier as I've gotten older. My pre-makeup skincare used to be a moisturizer with SPF and a bit of primer. About 1.5 years ago I started to have major dry patches develop over the day, foundation settled into nasolabial lines, and it dried out and broke up and looked like it was peeling. It was a mess. Over time I found a great combination of very hydrating products for my a.m. skincare and now most days my makeup holds up well and my skin feels nourished and hydrated even at the end of the day.
Ive really been enjoying the new formulation of La Roche Possays Lipkar Balm ( body and face) for a daily moisturizer. It has quite a bit of niacinamide, shea butter and i think also some ceramides. ( Same age as you and also with super dry + sensitive skin)
It's fun so wake up to your videos!! I'm 59 and so many foundations I've tried through this Pandemic haven't worked for me either. My skin hasn't dried as much the older I get but I live in San Diego and the weather is pretty mild...except last week hitting an odd 98 degrees 😳Have a fantastic weekend!!
Yes your skin does start to dry out as you get older. The collagen starts to break down in the skin and that is your natural hydration. So up your intake on water as you get older to hydrate from the inside out and you will have to get a thicker moisturiser to hydrate from the outside in.
Their concealer works great!
Thank you for keeping us company !
I think this is a natural, not matte coverage? That's what the Sephora website says at least.
Given this has hyaluronic acid, and you live in Texas and now have dry skin, maybe try a priming or finishing spray and while your face is still a touch damp, put the foundation on? Otherwise that hyaluronic acid will just attract the moisture from your skin, bringing it to the surface and further drying it out (at least that's my amateur understanding of how the ingredient works🙂)
Or use a more hydrating/heavier moisturizer routine? Would love to hear how the foundation is if you were to try it with a few different products underneath. I love Paula's Choice spfs--there's a glowy one that's GLOWY, but very hydrating, which would pair really well with some of your more matte foundations.
(Although I tried the other Kosas complexion product, the skin tint, and could never make it work for me!)
This foundation did not work for me either. Skin does start "drying" with age. However, if it's any consolation, at 72 I have pretty normal skin with a dry patch here or there occasionally. It's never been oily and I do use a lot of skincare morning and night. It is drier than it was when I was 40 but I never label it dry, only normal, when considering foundations. But even with normal skin, this Kosas foundation did not work for me.
It didn't work for my dry skin either, but I now mix it with my Colurpop Pretty Fresh foundation, and the combo works for me. As I've gotten older, I rarely use one foundation anymore -- I usually mix and match to find something that works for me.
SAME! I already returned it back to Sephora! I have super oily skin, but it’s also dehydrated, and I just didn’t like how it looked on my skin. 😕
This just goes to show that not all makeup works the same on all people, we are all different. When I turned 40 the major difference I saw in my skin was acne, I developed acne on my jawline and it was painful cyst like pimples. I’m pretty sure it was some kind of hormonal thing and it went away but I’m 55 now with combo skin and in SE Tx where it’s very hot and humid, my skin has never been dry but there are certain products that will dry my skin out and I just simply don’t use those products anymore. Love your videos and you look beautiful as usual!
37 here 🙋🏻♀️I have large pores, dry skin and use my finger while puffing my cheeks. Works great. This product doesn't last very long but helped the acne and rose on my cheeks. I find that it has what our skin needs, and we have to apply it when our skin is in between damp and dry bc of the H. Acid. Hope this helps. 🫶☺️
Perhaps your experience has something to do with how you prepped your skin? Maybe you now require more moisturizer. Would it work better on you or others with a primer first? Will you give it another try? I find I have better luck if I start with a dewy complexion before application.
When I turned 40 it was like I got old overnight, lol. No but really I feel like it happened very quickly. I went from super oily and not much wrinkles and skin concerns to super dry and crepe skin with lots more pores and wrinkles being much more noticeable and defined. But I have learned to use different products and procedures to help out with that and I have embraced aging because my father died at 59 as did my uncle at 62 and it's an honor to be able to age. I just want to age as gracefully as I can. It didn't think the foundation looks bad on you Lisa, but it did look dry. I was wondering if you recently started tretinoin or anything?
I’m 40 with combo skin, this foundation is very glowy on my skin, I live in a hot/humid climate. I really like it.
Thanks for sharing!
Oily in my teens through my 30s. Always have used or abused some sort of skin care but never used Tretinoin. Will take a pass on this I think. Over time my skin has become balanced and at 63 have very few wrinkles (jowls on the other hand is my current fight). One thing I have learned through the skin care content from TH-cam, I am not alone with my experience but I knew few people with my oily challenges when I was young. Made so many mistakes but in the end I am thankful for all my trials and errors as my skin is in great condition now and I will continue to be as disciplined as possible to try to look good for my age and will avoid foundation that feels drying.
Lisa, mine started changing in my early 50s but I had early menopause at 37. I had always had normal and oily in the t-zone. It still can get oily, but I'm definitely using a richer moisturizer and a soothing oil at night. I can tell you since my skin changed I can't wear mat foundations at all.
One day, you will look back at this video and consider yourself to have been very young. Please enjoy this time in your life. I think of my late thirties as having been my absolute prime...old enough to be my real self but not too old.
I was the same with the newest Charlotte Tilbury foundation, I also find her shades very yellow.
This skin change is a sign of your hormones changing. I went through this and also became irritable a lot. That was my progesterone dropping. Wish I had figured that out sooner! I encourage you to get some simple hormone testing to see where everything is at.
Good to know! Thank you for sharing Mellie!
Early 40’s my skin got very dry and dull, it actually looked better without foundation. Nothing helped, no matter how good my skincare routine was. Mid to late 40’s got much better and now early 50’s my skin looks the best it has in years. There is hope!!! Through the years I changed the type of foundation I used to help adjust with my skin.
Thanks for the review Lisa 😊😊😊
I used to have oily, combination skin and wore matte. Then as I got older combination. Now I have normal to more dry skin. I noticed since I turned 51, my skin has gotten drier. I just ordered kosas foundation too
Hi Lisa! I'm about to turn 39 and my skin has undergone huge changes in my 30s. Throughout my life I had very oily skin, but very little acne. However, in my mid thirties I developed acne worse than I ever had as a teenager. I had to totally revamp my skincare routine. Now, a couple years later, my skin has normalized and the acne has left and my skin is no longer oily, but normal. It's the strangest thing!
OH!! please tell me how you were able to control the oil! I am 48 and as I age mine is getting oiler and my pores look huge! I never had acne but now I am having to use Tretinoin. It works wonders but my oil and pores are still an issue! any help is really appreciated!
@@marthaspikes9669 Well, I'm not sure how much was changing my skincare and how much my skin actually changing but I think one thing I was doing wrong was that I was over stripping my skin in response to the acne breakout. I started using a more gentle cleanser. I'm currently using the La Roche Posay hydrating gentle cleanser after using a makeup eraser to remove my makeup. I've tried the whole cleansing balm thing and my skin just does not like it! I don't need it anymore, but when my skin was still normalizing, I also used rosehip oil drops at night to help with redness and inflammation. After cleansing I follow up with the Vichy thermal water spray. The rest of the products I use are from Beauty Pie. They are a great resource! Niacinamide drops for pores. Uber Youth serum, eye cream, and then the daily moisturizer and SPF for day and at night the Japan Fusion moisturizer. I have a couple of products to try when I run out of those moisturizers. Also I have really sensitive skin so I exfoliate with mandelic acid from the Ordinary every other day. I apologize for the lengthy response 😂
Great, honest review!
When I was younger my skin tented to be oily, now my mature skin is dry.
You might want to have your thyroid checked. I had extremely oily skin most of my life and then I developed Graves Disease. Now I have very dry, dehydrated skin.
dry gal here too! It was the OPPOSITE of skin like for me. It accentuated dry patches and pores. When I’m paying over $40 for a foundation, I expect that smoothing action 🧐 ps- on a brighter note, I can’t live without my “self love” lippie these days! 🙌🏻👏🏻
I’m a medical esthetician and super picky
I was using ilia and love this more
So for me it’s great
I love it
I have dry with a small amount of oil in t zone
Hi Lisa! I have dry and mature skin (I'm 52) and I really like this foundation. I do prep my skin very well before applying though. I also live in a very humid climate (south Louisiana) and I think that may make a big difference since it has Hyaluronic Acid in it. I wonder how your HG foundations are working out for you now with the dryer skin??
I've always had normal skin, and always was just good skin. Only broke out on nose that time of the month. I'm 62 now so, my skin now is about the same to little dry sometimes
I’m 55 and at age 50 I had to revamp my skincare routine. The routine I was using made my skin dry. It was fine when I was younger but my skin changed. Once I changed to a more hydrating routine it changed my skin for the better. I do use retinaldehyde 3 times a week but my skin is fine with my hydrating skin care routine. I just hit Menopause recently. It’s been a journey. Good luck. ❤️
Which hydrating routine are you using now? I am dry as well and have found difficulty finding a good routine
Hi Lisa and thank you for this review. One thing that concerns me with this product is the manufacturer put arnica in it. Arnica, from what I know, is used as an anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and pain reliever. Why it would be putting a cosmetic product baffles me. Something to think about for your viewers.
@Cynthia Galvez: I have to think that Kosas is thinking about all skin types when they formulated this foundation. In my 50's I was prone to hormonal achne. It was inflamed, and very sore. Occasionally it was bad enough to be treated by a dermatologist. So IMO putting arnica into a foundation is to help sooth these types of conditions and a couple of others I can think of.
I used to have oil slick skin until about my mid twenties. From there I enjoyed a glorious decade of totally normal skin. Then at 32, when I had my first (and only) baby my skin began to feel more dry but I could still categorize it as normal-dry. Then 35 hit and it all went downhill from there. With each passing year my skin got drier and drier. And that brings us to the present day where I'm about to turn 44 & I can now officially say my skintype is dry-very dry. Whatever was responsible for producing moisture for my skin is seemingly dead. Or at the very least quit the job (and didn't even give the expected 2 week notice) 🤭. My skin from top to bottom is dry, parched all day everyday now.
Oh my dear Lisa....yes you get dryer as you age! I probably have as many foundations as you have from Dior to drugstore and ALL of them settle in your lines, at least for me. No matter what application I use. Sounds like you're going to have to start experimenting on different preps for your face. You are still beautiful and do not look 39 years old.😍
Dear Lisa, I am 44 and I'm still shiny as a light bulb! LOL. I have noticed in recent years in the colder months (live in Calif) my skin does turn tiny bit combo, but still have to set with powder and retouch thru out the day, xoxo💕
I’m so glad you reviewed this as I’ve been waiting on trying it. I love the concealer and powder but I’m going to pass on the foundation. Happy Easter 🐣
Hi Lisa! Thank you for sharing this video. I just turned 40 last week…within the last 3-4 months the dryness is my skin is like nothing I have ever experienced. It was like my skin was peeling, and I have been using my same skincare routine for about 2 years. My dryness is more around my mouth nose area. I am hoping that this isn’t a regular thing. I have never been to a dermatologist, but have really been considering going, just to see what they say and see if they have any recommendations. I hope your dryness improves and that you have a happy and peaceful day ahead of you!
*I did want to share that I have started using Cure Natural Aqua Gel to help to exfoliate the dry skin, it does seem to be helping. I use it 1x/week and purchased it on Amazon after hearing/watching multiple other influencers use it.
I have normal combination skin (46) and the foundation didn't work for me--I was surprised because I love the concealer and powder. No matter how much skin prep or how thinly I applied, it ended up looking "make-upy" on me. Oh well!
Thanks for your review!! I’ve been so curious about the Kosas. Their concealer settled into my under eye lines. I’m 38. Have you tried the LYS foundation? I use your BK beauty foundation brush to apply and it is fantastic. I also love the Tower 28 skin tint-super natural, good coverage and SPF! Both are great for my dry/combo skin, neither cling to dry patches. Would love to see a comparison review to the Kosas cloud set powder vs the new Saie loose setting powder.
I’m 44 Lisa 😞 lol but I use so much skin care I’m always switching it up , hylaronic acid is my best friend, but staying nice and moisturized has been key for me 🙏🏼💖
The foundation was ok, but I didn’t like the concealer, it was drying on me. Also the powder does not set any powder on me anywhere! Could be my fault tho lol who knows
Ohhhh 😍 ok did not know there was a foundation,, love the concealer , can’t wait to try this thanks to you 🙏🏼💖💖💖
Oh ok it’s a no for the foundation 👍🏼💖
Im almost 48 years old and I haven’t noticed my skin drying.
Good to know. I have dry dry dry skin. Nope.
thanks for vid pretty lady. be safe
Very helpful review! 🤍
And been wanting to try that powder 🤔💖
Kosas didn't work for me either. I'm 59 and yeesss, skin does get drier as we age. Gettin' old ain't for wimps! Someone told me that a long time ago, very true!
This was a huge fail for me as well. I was 58 when I tried it and it settled into every single one of my fine lines. It looked okay on my cheeks, but not around my mouth, chin and nose.
Lisa, if I remember correctly, you live in Austin. I live about 180 miles north of you and we have only had 3 inches of rain so far this year! Everything is drying up, including my skin. Maybe it's affecting you as well?
Mine smelled really bad, did you notice anything with the smell?
I could not ind a good shade match but it was just as well because the sample I did try made me break out.
Yes I got this foundation also, and I’m not impressed at all!!! I will be sending it back!!!
I have dry skin will be 60 in September
great video u r so pretty
Well I it’s a year old,but I just purchased this ( was using Shisedo) ,not my favorite going back to Shisedo!
Thank you for saving me ! I have dry skin to begin with so it's not for me! You're always so on target!!!
The only product that really got my attention and I purchased to try, from Kosas, was the powder. I also tried the Lancome Skin Tint and disliked it. It is the first time that I try a skin tint and it look cakey on my skin😳. Perhaps it was the powder I used to set the "foundation", but if I did not set the base, I would have look like a disco ball.🤷♀️
I did not like it and I'm dry as well
I've noticed the more companies try to add skincare products the iffier. It gets. Not all skincare play well together and HA can suck foundation into your skin as it brings moisture in. The skincare community is re examining HA. Personally I only use it for microneedling. That's what I've gathered from watching skincare professionals their experiences and my own.
I’m 47. My skin is oily in the t-zone and normal everywhere else. It’s been like that all of my life, so it hasn’t changed yet. What has changed is that my skin is super sensitive. I can’t use ANYTHING that has a scent. Not just on my face but on my body too. It drives me crazy! I can’t even wear my perfumes anymore.
It did not work for me either. I am 55 with dry skin and larger pores around the sides of my nose. It definitely settled into my pores and did not look good 😞
I’m only 27 but accutane sucked the life out of my skin and it hasn’t really recovered a year later.
I'm 68 and still super greasy. I used to be super duper and now it's just super 😀
I bought it and returned it. It didn’t sit well on my skin. I would say I have normal skin, maybe a little combination in the t zone. But it just didn’t wear well. I feel like it made my skin look worse than it is.
Call me crazy but on camera your foundation looks good
Lisa, What is the Bronze Eye Pencil you said is your favorite and you use all the time. Would Love to know. Thanks :-)
Hated it and couldn’t find a shade match .
