Haus Labs foundation is my ride or die, because not only is it my perfect shade and makes my skin look great, my skin feels and looks better after using it! For reference, I’m 47, Span-Asian, dry-ish with sensitive skin. ❤
i'm 47 as well & just bought Haus Labs a week ago @ Sephora after going in to sample Nars. I love HL! matches my skin perfectly. my skin also feels and looks great. i am hispanic - medium tan shade
Tried Armani for the first time today. BEST foundation I've EVER used. Even after washing it off my skin was still soft and I have textured skin with rosacea. I'm in LOVEEE.
I love this series with Nikki and Susan. So informative and fun! You can see their true friendship and views of the products. Now I can look into those they rated 4, 4.5 and 5.
The #1 foundation of ALL time, hands down is Lancôme Teint Idole. Nothing else beats it. I also have Nars light reflecting which is truly nice but I’m just too oily for this one.
I LOVE these videos ladies, I follow both of you. As a 56 year women, who has done all the “things” to her skin over time, I love listening to how your makeup reviews and products have evolved. Coming from NY, living in Orlando for 27+years, my makeup and skincare has evolved. Like you, I am a huge Armani and Dior fan and find these work on my mature skin. Keep doing these videos, love and respect both of your opinions!
I’m over 50, don’t wear much makeup very often and am very thrifty in my budget. But I sure love watching you two talk and educate. Sure wishing we had your information decades ago. You make this old dog want to try to learn new tricks.Thank you.
REQUEST: PLEASE do this same video for Ulta AND I'd love to see ya'll each do best full face including tips and tricks for makeup in a humid high heat environment. A mistake I've seen so many make who live in a humid high heat environment is ordering makeup and letting it sit around or it got stuck in a warehouse in that environment over night which is why it'll smell bad and the consistency will be different. I saw a comment ya'll read out that was like that. When living in these areas, the safe bet is to purchase in store or have it shipped to store bc their shipments are held in temperature controlled rooms. Loved this video!
I used Nars Light Reflecting foundation on my graduation 2 months ago , it lasted even if it’s too hot inside the convention, I also exchanged the natural radiant foundation for this because it didnt work for my dry skin. Nikki used the light reflecting on her all Nars video and bought it right after watching that video.
I love Armani Luminous Silk foundation (combo/oily skin), and I always buy the mini size! I use very little foundation when I wear any (no matter the brand), so one bottle lasts awhile for me. I don’t find the scent to be strong at all.
I went to try the Haus Labs foundation at Sephora for a wedding. Perfect match. It literally blended with my neck and top of my body and it looked gorgeous. Dior's OG Backstage Body and Face is thoroughly missed.
I have combo skin, over 40 and after reviewing many foundations on my channel, Haus Labs is one of the best medium coverage foundations I’ve found for mature skin! Love that Armani has a smaller bottle now for people to try. Great review, thank you!
Please do concealer next!! That's exactly my way of deciding which brand to buy (going through Sephora's top selling list) when I am shopping for makeup specially. The big downside to these ratings lately is those of people who received the products in exchange for their "honest" review. I so much enjoy going the list with you two as we are all around the same age and weigh the pros and cons better than teens;)
I have the original and reformulated Dior face and body foundation. Each shade is a little big lighter than the older formulation. I don’t notice too much of a difference in wear. It still looks nice on my skin at the end of the day. I do think the older formulation has a tiny bit more staying power than the newer version and the newer version is a bit more full coverage than its older one.
The Dior backstage foundation used to be my holy grail. I have oily skin and it made me look air brushed, it was lightweight and lasted all day. The new formula is wayyy to hydrating, dewy and broke me out 😭.
I bought the Haus Labs foundation about 3 weeks ago and I love it! The finish is so beautiful and I love the light formula. It doesn't feel like I am wearing foundation. It is also a very "stretchy" product. I need very little to do my entire face and blend into my neck. I found my shade in store very quickly by swatching on my hand.
What sunscreen do you use and skincare? I need your HELP, I have had problems with the HAUS LABS one and I want to love it :(, when I use it my pores and dryness become more marked, it breaks and looks HORRIBLE, I heard that it could be because it doesn't go well with my skincare but I've already tried different blockers and different products and I can't make it stop happening. I NEED RECOMMENDATIONS TO LOVE IT!!!
I tried Mario’s foundation last year and returned it. I also felt like it never set and was sliding on my face. I took months researching and sampling and ended up trying Haus Labs. Now I don’t see myself ever trying a different one. Im now looking for my winter shade in the brand. I agree with Nikki, one bottle will last you YEARS! 1-2 pumps, max.
Just get a white blending mixer to add for your winter shade, instead of buying another. Or buy the white one in huas labs to add and make your winter shade. That way you can buy the summer shade and make it your all year shade with the white mixer.
After following Nikki, she made me question my shade match for Haus Labs lol I always felt like it washed me out, so that tidbit about their undertones is really helpful. Love these videos.
I think I’ve tried all of these, and while I loved the Rare Beauty and absolutely didn’t hate any of them, my fave high-end foundation is the Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation…. You used to be able to get it at Sephora but I don’t see it anymore. I wore it for my cousin’s wedding and it was PERFECT! If you have more dry skin and are okay with splurging, it’s a water-based foundation and is really nice. Like I can’t sell it enough. I haven’t found anything like it since and I just can’t spend $96 on an everyday foundation. Currently using the Colour Pop Hyaluronic Acid Tinted Moisturizer and it’s been good for every day, but you bet if I am in another wedding or have some sort of big event to do, I’ll be splurging on that one again.
I think the biggest thing for me on this is the fact that everything at Sephora is so expensive. I don’t have the money to spend $45+ on a foundation, so most of these I haven’t tried. I’d love to see one of these videos for Ulta/Target/Drug store that caters to more affordable budgets
@@cindyfern not really, and I don’t appreciate the comment. I watch all videos, whether or not I can buy the foundation. If it goes on sale than maybe I will buy it. So it’s not the “wrong video” I was advising where I stand so hopefully they can make something geared toward everyone. It was a suggestion.
I work at a skin care /hair care /cosmetics manufacturing as a rep and obtaining raws are always the biggest struggle especially since Covid. Most people end up reformulating to get the ball rolling it to meet their etas. The main issue we have is people not putting orders in at a timely manner
I bought the Armani foundation just before fenty beauty launched & I didn’t like how it wore on me. I returned it & got the fenty pro filtr foundation & that one is EVERYTHING to me. I love it. Looks good on me even hours after I apply
I tried everything and then finally tried NARS. It is fabulous. Does not settle into lines! ❤❤❤ This video is the very best ladies! Thank you so much! ❤❤❤
My go to foundation has always been ELDW and at 51 I still love it. I wanted to try luminous silk so bad but never thought it would hold up in my climate ( Alabama) and finally bought it and have been blown away with it. I absolutely love it. I don’t live near a Sephora and the shade match was really hard but finally got it right. 🙌🏻
My favorite foundation of all time was the Too Faced Perfect Peach. It was discontinued, sadly! I later on came across the Fenty foundation and it's the closest thing I could find to my Perfect Peach. I love the Fenty foundation because it's super lightweight (you can't really feel it on), matte but not too matte, and lasts all day.
Haha! It’s painful to hear how much she spends on makeup every year, but it’s a big part of her job, so if she has to constantly re-up on product, it means she’s busy! That’s always a good thing.
Try the mini! And if you love it go for the full size. I know it’s a lot to spend but I found it’s so worth it. If you are like me and have wasted so much money on $40 foundations to only use once or twice then realize they aren’t great, it’s worth it. I’d rather spend $69 on a foundation I love than $40 on one I’m meh about.
@@Olivia-bl8ezIt is a really good foundation. The only reason why I didn’t repurchase is because I’m too lazy to go to Sephora and get a better shade match. But it looked fantastic regardless.
I love you both!! I am obsessed with haus labs…. It makes my skin flawless! I love that it has skincare ingredients. I used to use armani luminous silk in college for probably for 5 years but developed cystic acne & hives found out I was allergic to fragrance and other stuff in the ingredients. I want to try it again but afraid. I love the new Dior backstage and it’s interesting because there is fragrance but I don’t have issues with breakouts or hives and itchiness. Hated the ilia skin tint. I agree with Susan lots of oxidation but I hated the smell and just didn’t like how it laid on my skin. Also found that it always seem to look and act differently on my skin despite the skincare beneath it remained the same . In any case, love you both and love the reviews! Thanks so much! So fun!
I’m so happy that you both repeatedly emphasize how personal products are. I’m in my mid 20s and have severely dry skin, and the Armani silk looks AWFUL on me. My skin is so dry that any makeup base i wear, my skin absorbs moisture throughout the day and I start to look dry by the end of the night. The only way I can make luminous silk work is if I use a very dewy & moisturizing primer and also mix in a face oil or otherwise it looks super matte and dry on my skin while sinking into every pore on my face. The makeup by Mario has been a new favorite of mine, because of how moisturizing the formula is. My skin looks like an airbrushed filter. I always get compliments and my boyfriend who is an artist that specializes in realistic facial portraits says its the makeup that looks the most skin-like on my face. I set it with a light coat of the givenchy prism libre powder and the milk hydro grip setting spray and it last 10+ hours. The make up by Mario foundation and NARS light reflecting are the only foundations that don’t make me look super dry at the end of the day.
I also dislike the Armani. It doesn’t give great coverage which for me is the point of wearing foundation. I’ve paired it with the danessa myricks tinted balm and it definitely boosted the coverage and wear time so that’s how I’ve been able to really use mine.
Thank you for this. Foundation always looks caked on my face because my skin is dry. I would much rather not wear anything. I will try your recommendation.
I love the Pat McGrath foundation. It’s so light and looks so pretty. Blends like a dream. Expensive though but you only need a little bit. Haven’t tried Armani Silk unbelievably! LOVE Haus Labs foundation. Excited to use my Nars Light reflecting again and seeing if I can make it work. I always find it too glowy. Thanks for a great video ❤😅
Love Nars Light Reflecting Foundation. I get compliments on my skin from perfect strangers when I wear it! A little goes a long way! I don’t like the Haus Labs:( pretty finish but feels heavy and greasy after a few hours. Great video! Please do a powder video 😊
It is good for dry/ mature skin., only issue w this foundation and Nars foundations in general is they run quite warm/ yellow. Even if you try to mix shades, it's hard to find a match. They .need to add more cool or neural shades that are truly cool or neutral. Sometimes I mix with the newer Hourglass Ambient foundation. Nars, please expand shades range esp add cools!
Estee Lauder Double Wear is a great foundation especially for older women. I recently tried Christian Dior matte and it looks great as well. I tried the luminous one first but after a few hours I looked oily. So that one may be good for people with dry skin.
Loveeed this! I've been back and forth between the Dior and Haus Labs and after this I am for sure decided on Haus Labs! Thank you both so so much for going into so much detail on these foundations! ❤
What sunscreen do you use and skincare? I need your HELP, I have had problems with the HAUS LABS one and I want to love it :(, when I use it my pores and dryness become more marked, it breaks and looks HORRIBLE, I heard that it could be because it doesn't go well with my skincare but I've already tried different blockers and different products and I can't make it stop happening. I NEED RECOMMENDATIONS TO LOVE IT!!!
This is such a great chat with Susan and Nikki show!!!! I'm a fan!!! Looking forward to the next one!!!! BRB, have to run go buy the Haus Labs Foundation!!!!!
This segment was incredibly informative , thank you for doing it. I will really appreciate a video on concealers, face powders and primers. Thank you in advance.
I love the ILIA skin serum so much! LOVE LOVE LOVE. It gives me plenty of coverage, it’s a beautiful glowy finish, and I use SPF under it. It’s my new favorite ❤️
My next foundation purchase is definitely going to be the Haus Labs. I've been stuck on Estée Lauder double wear and Lancôme Teint Idole for years and love them but I need something new!
I live on a very humid island and the Nars light reflecting foundation never budges on me even when I sweat because I set it with the light reflecting powder. Strong sun, rain, a night of dancing, my makeup doesn’t move!
Never tried a high end foundation. You really intrigued me w Dior and Armani reviews. I will wait until one or both of you try and review new Dior though.
I have been a HUGE fan of the Dior Face & Body foundation for years and it is a go-to staple in my pro makeup kit. However...the new formula is NOTTTTT the same, ugh! It makes me so upset, mainly because the shade range is TOTALLY different. The formula is different as well, but the biggest issue I have with it is the "old" 3N does not equal the new 3N (or literally any shade - just using 3N as an example). This has caused a major issue for me because I do makeup lessons...so when I've been using the "old" 2CR to my clients because it's a perfect match for them and they go and purchase the "new" 2CR...they email me saying, "ummm...are you sure this is my shade?!" It's so wild...big miss for Dior, sadly.
I love the Triclone foundation. I'm 52 and I've been a BIG fan of EL Double Wear since it launched in 1997. I've tried so many high end and drugstore but nothing had compared. Then I tried the Triclone foundation and I'm hooked. I did have to get the mini kit to finally find my right shade. But we'll worth it.
I was going to try the Dior, but several comments noted that the new formulation is not as good.. so I 'll try to find a match from Haus. Wish me luck.. and Thank you girls for this terrific post!
I was an avid fenty soft matte and tint user but I recently purchased the Haus labs and I love it! I bought it at Sephora so thankfully I had a makeup artists help me pick the shade that best matched me. It is low lightweight but covers my imperfections, feels like skin and looks great!
This was so exciting to watch! Learned about a couple foundations to try! Armani’s rating floored me. That’s my go to when I don’t need to play in makeup which I love to do! Thank you Ladies
Yes concealer next video! Love watching you two together. Please do a tutorial about how you conceal Susan’s malasma? Her malasma is under control and light, but it would be helpful to know how to conceal it with out looking cakie.
I just returned the Haus Lab foundation :((( I really wanted to love it! I have oily/combo skin. I love their concealer though! But maybe I didn't skin prep my skin correctly? I wore this on vacation for 2 weeks in Colombia and my face looked so oily shortly after. I really liked the finish though. I would love a video on how you prep and set the Haus Lab. I agree with the Armani and Dior, i love those!
I’m late the video but I just tried the Make Up by Mario foundation and I loved it! I didn’t wear it for long but I can’t wait to try it again! I’m combo lean toward oily. I used it with the Milk makeup primer. ❤
I've tried the new Dior which I also like, it give's a bit more hydration, it still looks beautifull on the skin, but unfortunately it' s not as sweatproof as the old one, which for me was the most important part. But I still love it and lasts really well.
I love foundation! My favs are Lancôme Teint Idole and YSL All Hours, and my new favorite is NARS light reflecting. I still need to try Dior backstage, Armani, and other Dior foundations.
After watching your reviews, I’m noticing that all of these products are hot on tiktok and when it comes to tiktok the younger crowd are discovering products that TH-cam gurus have been using for years! It’s wild that both platforms have different perspectives on skincare and makeup. I’m a millennial who loved the beauty industry for 15+ years so seeing the industry change drastically is sometimes mind boggling! 🎉Love your reviews and honesty!!
That's because the younger generation are only just starting to work and get their own money, they were buying drugstore before, they're now getting to the age of being relatively better off financially to get into an this luxury/high end holy grails
Great video! Armani is my go to if I don’t want to mess up def deserves to be up higher! I adore the Haus Labs but have found the best way that works on me is with a beauty blender sprayed with my charlotte T setting spray. I swear by that combo! For some reason it does transfer some off of my skin even with primer and set with powder but with the spray and blender it is chef’s kiss! I was color matched with Sephora’s technology and the shade is perfection! It is absolutely stunning! I would repurchase. I so want to try the Dior Backstage. Please do concealer!!
I love these videos, especially this one. On the ILIA skin tint, I wanted to love it but have to agree with Susan. I now want to try the NARS and I just got my mini pack of Haus Labs to find my shade.
Susan and Niki! You 2 together are amazing! I love these genuine reviews 😍 Also I tried so many recommendations for both of you! Susan I just dipped into your line and it’s amazing! I can’t wait to try more and the price point is perfect and love that it’s available at Target. You both are beautiful, keep up the good work ladies ❤❤❤
Susan - I would love it if you guys could list what you are both wearing on your faces in these videos!! Love both of your makeup looks and it’s super helpful when TH-camrs post that 😊
I love Haus Labs and Shiseido and IT Your Skin But Better. Been mixing Dale Wear with Haus for humid long days! Fav concealers… Vieve, Jouer, Glossier Stretch in pot. ❤
I need your HELP, I have had problems with the HAUS LABS one and I want to love it :(, when I use it my pores and dryness become more marked, it breaks and looks HORRIBLE, I heard that it could be because it doesn't go well with my skincare but I've already tried different blockers and different products and I can't make it stop happening. I NEED RECOMMENDATIONS TO LOVE IT!!!
I have been using the Nars foundation and I love it. The salesperson found the exact shade for me and having drier skin, it doesn't feel too dry on my skin and covers a multitude of issues. We'll see how it works out in the hot Maryland summers.
Just ordered the Haus Labs and they had a test online to determine your shade. They also have a guarantee that if you get the wrong shade you can return it for free.
I’ve been a chemist and a process engineer with 12 years of experience in the beauty industry, and I will say, SOME raw materials are hard to get sometimes because it’s simply over-ordered, but that is very rarely the case when brands relaunch. Most of the time, it’s because the EU or California (both very stringent entities) have called out an ingredient as “ban-worthy” in their state or country OR fully banned. Rather than wait for the ingredient to be banned everywhere (or not being able to ship it to that country/state) and having to scramble to over label the components, brands reformulate. THAT is what happens all the time. Also, not all alcohols are rough on skin and moisture barrier. Customers often complain about alcohol in formulations bc they don’t know fatty alcohols exist. They do the opposite of strip moisture from skin. One more thing if anyone is still reading 😂: I HATE the Haus Labs foundation formula. It’s SO heavy and gives the same effect as the drugstore foundations in the late 90’s did. So thick, so stiff, probably way too much TIO2. No.
I’ve always hated my super pale skin. But after hearing so many not being able to find their perfect shade match, I’m happy. I just choose the palest shade and hope it’s light enough. Haha haha 😂 (that’s my issue, many shades arent pale enough, think whiteout and that’s my shade) 😅😊
The old days of 17 shade ranges for a foundation. That is when we were all schooled to take the foundation down our neck and blend so you can’t see the demarcation line. It is because it didn’t really match our skin tone!! (By the way, I am so enjoying this video!)
I’m one of the people that has Ilia skin tint as my staple and I’ll explain why: I have dry skin and live in Colorado ( very dry) and for some reason it has such a plumping and even blurring effect on me throughout the day. I layer it over a very lightweight spf like the Madagascar centella or hero green spf. I will say i use it for light coverage if I do try to get more of a medium coverage it does look very weird so a little goes a long way! So throughout the day my skin just soaks it up and it goes from looking dewy to airbrushed at the end of the day ( which to me is incredibe as a move from day to evening). As a comparison a foundation like Armani silk even though it is very beautiful at first it eventually looks very dry and matte on my skin which I don’t like over time so it’s definitely only a summer one for me. Hope that helps!
@morgianasartre6709 , it's just over £30 in the UK and it lasts forever. I don't need to repurchase it until after its expiry date and it still has enough left. You only need a little, so yes, it is affordable.
I hate it .. makes me break out. Makes a lot of other people I know break out. My moms been using it for over 16 years and she breaks out with it also💀but is still in love with it lol.

I hate the new formula…..why??
SAME!! This was also my holy grail! And they had a shade that seemed custom-made for me! I was so disappointed.

My go to foundation has always been ELDW and at 51 I still love it. I wanted to try luminous silk so bad but never thought it would hold up in my climate ( Alabama) and finally bought it and have been blown away with it. I absolutely love it. I don’t live near a Sephora and the shade match was really hard but finally got it right. 🙌🏻
ELDW is my go to…applied with a makeup sponge dampened then a light mist of MAC fix + on the sponge, it is beyond beautiful! I agree with you 💯!
Same! Love ELDW ❤

My favorite foundation of all time was the Too Faced Perfect Peach. It was discontinued, sadly! I later on came across the Fenty foundation and it's the closest thing I could find to my Perfect Peach. I love the Fenty foundation because it's super lightweight (you can't really feel it on), matte but not too matte, and lasts all day.
Thank you for this comment. The Too Faced Peach Perfect was a favorite of mine too. Good to know that Fenty is comparable!
I never tried that one!
Perfect Peach was beautiful!
This was the best, I have tried so many foundations and I cannot find one that blurs and looks like this one. The powder was also the best.
Ok THIS is a makeup review that is honest,useful and totally helpful for us makeup loving people🙌🏼 Bravo ladies!!❤👏👏👏👏
Nikki talking about having to buy Armani luminous silk foundation so much “My wallet actually yelled STOP!!!” LOL 😂😂😂
The difference is that she gets paid to use it so much 😄
Haha! It’s painful to hear how much she spends on makeup every year, but it’s a big part of her job, so if she has to constantly re-up on product, it means she’s busy! That’s always a good thing.
Try the mini! And if you love it go for the full size. I know it’s a lot to spend but I found it’s so worth it. If you are like me and have wasted so much money on $40 foundations to only use once or twice then realize they aren’t great, it’s worth it. I’d rather spend $69 on a foundation I love than $40 on one I’m meh about.
@@Olivia-bl8ezIt is a really good foundation. The only reason why I didn’t repurchase is because I’m too lazy to go to Sephora and get a better shade match. But it looked fantastic regardless.
I love you both!! I am obsessed with haus labs…. It makes my skin flawless! I love that it has skincare ingredients. I used to use armani luminous silk in college for probably for 5 years but developed cystic acne & hives found out I was allergic to fragrance and other stuff in the ingredients. I want to try it again but afraid. I love the new Dior backstage and it’s interesting because there is fragrance but I don’t have issues with breakouts or hives and itchiness. Hated the ilia skin tint. I agree with Susan lots of oxidation but I hated the smell and just didn’t like how it laid on my skin. Also found that it always seem to look and act differently on my skin despite the skincare beneath it remained the same .
In any case, love you both and love the reviews! Thanks so much! So fun!
I’m so happy that you both repeatedly emphasize how personal products are. I’m in my mid 20s and have severely dry skin, and the Armani silk looks AWFUL on me. My skin is so dry that any makeup base i wear, my skin absorbs moisture throughout the day and I start to look dry by the end of the night. The only way I can make luminous silk work is if I use a very dewy & moisturizing primer and also mix in a face oil or otherwise it looks super matte and dry on my skin while sinking into every pore on my face. The makeup by Mario has been a new favorite of mine, because of how moisturizing the formula is. My skin looks like an airbrushed filter. I always get compliments and my boyfriend who is an artist that specializes in realistic facial portraits says its the makeup that looks the most skin-like on my face. I set it with a light coat of the givenchy prism libre powder and the milk hydro grip setting spray and it last 10+ hours. The make up by Mario foundation and NARS light reflecting are the only foundations that don’t make me look super dry at the end of the day.
Thank you for this! My skin’s like that too and same result with the Luminous Silk. Guess I’m trying the Mario and the Nars one too.
Does he have one foundation or more. What’s the name. I have same skin and want to try it
I also dislike the Armani. It doesn’t give great coverage which for me is the point of wearing foundation. I’ve paired it with the danessa myricks tinted balm and it definitely boosted the coverage and wear time so that’s how I’ve been able to really use mine.
Under my Armani, I use snail mucin and it keeps my dry skin from flaking.
Thank you for this. Foundation always looks caked on my face because my skin is dry. I would much rather not wear anything. I will try your recommendation.
I love the Pat McGrath foundation. It’s so light and looks so pretty. Blends like a dream. Expensive though but you only need a little bit.
Haven’t tried Armani Silk unbelievably!
LOVE Haus Labs foundation.
Excited to use my Nars Light reflecting again and seeing if I can make it work. I always find it too glowy.
Thanks for a great video ❤😅
Love Nars Light Reflecting Foundation. I get compliments on my skin from perfect strangers when I wear it! A little goes a long way! I don’t like the Haus Labs:( pretty finish but feels heavy and greasy after a few hours.
Great video! Please do a powder video 😊
I’ve had the exact same experience with Nars Light Reflecting foundation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Me too, and I don’t think it’s really dewy. It gives my skin a subtle sheen though
Hi...plz tell me that is Nars light reflecting foundation good for mature dry skin?
It is good for dry/ mature skin., only issue w this foundation and Nars foundations in general is they run quite warm/ yellow. Even if you try to mix shades, it's hard to find a match. They .need to add more cool or neural shades that are truly cool or neutral. Sometimes I mix with the newer Hourglass Ambient foundation. Nars, please expand shades range esp add cools!
@@naziasiddique03 yo la probé y tengo piel mixta y en mí se queda como reseca y me marca parches la verdad que no me gustó..
Estee Lauder Double Wear is a great foundation especially for older women. I recently tried Christian Dior matte and it looks great as well. I tried the luminous one first but after a few hours I looked oily. So that one may be good for people with dry skin.
Loveeed this! I've been back and forth between the Dior and Haus Labs and after this I am for sure decided on Haus Labs! Thank you both so so much for going into so much detail on these foundations! ❤
What has your experience with it?
What sunscreen do you use and skincare? I need your HELP, I have had problems with the HAUS LABS one and I want to love it :(, when I use it my pores and dryness become more marked, it breaks and looks HORRIBLE, I heard that it could be because it doesn't go well with my skincare but I've already tried different blockers and different products and I can't make it stop happening. I NEED RECOMMENDATIONS TO LOVE IT!!!
@@vhyajim I use NeoGen Dermatology Airy Sunscreen
This is such a great chat with Susan and Nikki show!!!! I'm a fan!!! Looking forward to the next one!!!! BRB, have to run go buy the Haus Labs Foundation!!!!!
It would be interesting to see the same video but for ULTA which includes more affordable brands!
Thanks for the video. Fenty is also my fav!
I love that idea!! Drugstore Foundation from Ultra would be great! I love the fact Ulta has both! From Chanel to Wet & Wild! It’s so awesome ❤
I love Nikki! She’s such a doll.
Her bronzer looks weird especially on her forhead, I would never guess she is a MUA
This segment was incredibly informative , thank you for doing it. I will really appreciate a video on concealers, face powders and primers. Thank you in advance.
I love the ILIA skin serum so much! LOVE LOVE LOVE. It gives me plenty of coverage, it’s a beautiful glowy finish, and I use SPF under it. It’s my new favorite ❤️
My next foundation purchase is definitely going to be the Haus Labs. I've been stuck on Estée Lauder double wear and Lancôme Teint Idole for years and love them but I need something new!
I live on a very humid island and the Nars light reflecting foundation never budges on me even when I sweat because I set it with the light reflecting powder. Strong sun, rain, a night of dancing, my makeup doesn’t move!
watching susan and nikki do these together is the best 💛
Love these series! The two of you are very good together
Thank you!
Never tried a high end foundation. You really intrigued me w Dior and Armani reviews. I will wait until one or both of you try and review new Dior though.
Hi Nikki! I always love hearing your thoughts and reviews.
I have been a HUGE fan of the Dior Face & Body foundation for years and it is a go-to staple in my pro makeup kit. However...the new formula is NOTTTTT the same, ugh! It makes me so upset, mainly because the shade range is TOTALLY different. The formula is different as well, but the biggest issue I have with it is the "old" 3N does not equal the new 3N (or literally any shade - just using 3N as an example). This has caused a major issue for me because I do makeup lessons...so when I've been using the "old" 2CR to my clients because it's a perfect match for them and they go and purchase the "new" 2CR...they email me saying, "ummm...are you sure this is my shade?!" It's so wild...big miss for Dior, sadly.
Not sure about Fenti. A little too yellow for me.
I love the Triclone foundation. I'm 52 and I've been a BIG fan of EL Double Wear since it launched in 1997. I've tried so many high end and drugstore but nothing had compared. Then I tried the Triclone foundation and I'm hooked. I did have to get the mini kit to finally find my right shade. But we'll worth it.
I was going to try the Dior, but several comments noted that the new formulation is not as good.. so I 'll try to find a match from Haus. Wish me luck.. and Thank you girls for this terrific post!
Would love to hear concealer and powder reviews next!
Great video, ladies🤩🤗
You both look stunning as always-what foundations are you both wearing today?
Armani is my go to foundation for years. I am really enjoying the Make up by Mario foundation too. I think it looks really glowy and natural.
I love my Pat Mcgrath foundation & Dior backstage.. combining them are awesome..
I ❤❤❤ILIA!!! I get so many compliments every time I wear it!
I was an avid fenty soft matte and tint user but I recently purchased the Haus labs and I love it! I bought it at Sephora so thankfully I had a makeup artists help me pick the shade that best matched me. It is low lightweight but covers my imperfections, feels like skin and looks great!
Keep ‘em coming ladies!! Great content!
Would loveeeee to see one on primers
This was so exciting to watch! Learned about a couple foundations to try! Armani’s rating floored me. That’s my go to when I don’t need to play in makeup which I love to do! Thank you Ladies
Yes concealer next video! Love watching you two together. Please do a tutorial about how you conceal Susan’s malasma? Her malasma is under control and light, but it would be helpful to know how to conceal it with out looking cakie.
I really, really enjoyed this content! 👏👏 I would love to have a version of this but in the “Top rated” version, if you haven't done it yet! ❤️
Man i was about to add the Dior face and body to my cart but now will have to hear your and Nikki’s thoughts on the reformulation first! 😭
I think Nikki posted a reel or a TikTok about it! She went and purchased it right after we recorded this video.
I've thoroughly LOVED this video! Please consider making a drugstore version one day! ^_^
Haus Labs foundation is absolutely stunning!! One of my all time favourites. ❤❤❤
I just returned the Haus Lab foundation :((( I really wanted to love it! I have oily/combo skin. I love their concealer though! But maybe I didn't skin prep my skin correctly? I wore this on vacation for 2 weeks in Colombia and my face looked so oily shortly after. I really liked the finish though. I would love a video on how you prep and set the Haus Lab. I agree with the Armani and Dior, i love those!
I’m late the video but I just tried the Make Up by Mario foundation and I loved it! I didn’t wear it for long but I can’t wait to try it again! I’m combo lean toward oily. I used it with the Milk makeup primer. ❤
I've tried the new Dior which I also like, it give's a bit more hydration, it still looks beautifull on the skin, but unfortunately it' s not as sweatproof as the old one, which for me was the most important part. But I still love it and lasts really well.
I love foundation! My favs are Lancôme Teint Idole and YSL All Hours, and my new favorite is NARS light reflecting. I still need to try Dior backstage, Armani, and other Dior foundations.
After watching your reviews, I’m noticing that all of these products are hot on tiktok and when it comes to tiktok the younger crowd are discovering products that TH-cam gurus have been using for years! It’s wild that both platforms have different perspectives on skincare and makeup. I’m a millennial who loved the beauty industry for 15+ years so seeing the industry change drastically is sometimes mind boggling!
🎉Love your reviews and honesty!!
That's because the younger generation are only just starting to work and get their own money, they were buying drugstore before, they're now getting to the age of being relatively better off financially to get into an this luxury/high end holy grails
Great video! Armani is my go to if I don’t want to mess up def deserves to be up higher! I adore the Haus Labs but have found the best way that works on me is with a beauty blender sprayed with my charlotte T setting spray. I swear by that combo! For some reason it does transfer some off of my skin even with primer and set with powder but with the spray and blender it is chef’s kiss! I was color matched with Sephora’s technology and the shade is perfection! It is absolutely stunning! I would repurchase. I so want to try the Dior Backstage. Please do concealer!!
I love these videos, especially this one. On the ILIA skin tint, I wanted to love it but have to agree with Susan. I now want to try the NARS and I just got my mini pack of Haus Labs to find my shade.
Yay concealers next. I love the Dior skin glow foundation and the Chanel Les beiges. I don’t like a matte foundation
Omg imagine a skincare version of this or primers?! 🤩
Susan and Niki! You 2 together are amazing! I love these genuine reviews 😍 Also I tried so many recommendations for both of you! Susan I just dipped into your line and it’s amazing! I can’t wait to try more and the price point is perfect and love that it’s available at Target. You both are beautiful, keep up the good work ladies ❤❤❤
Nars is GREAT to use in the Fall and Winter season!!! I have very sensitive skin and I did not break out at all.
Came here via Nikki La Rose and immediately hit SUBSCRIBE!! What a fun and informative video- excuse me while I binge and catch up. 😁👍❤️
Susan - I would love it if you guys could list what you are both wearing on your faces in these videos!! Love both of your makeup looks and it’s super helpful when TH-camrs post that 😊
I love Haus Labs and Shiseido and IT Your Skin But Better. Been mixing Dale Wear with Haus for humid long days! Fav concealers… Vieve, Jouer, Glossier Stretch in pot. ❤
I need your HELP, I have had problems with the HAUS LABS one and I want to love it :(, when I use it my pores and dryness become more marked, it breaks and looks HORRIBLE, I heard that it could be because it doesn't go well with my skincare but I've already tried different blockers and different products and I can't make it stop happening. I NEED RECOMMENDATIONS TO LOVE IT!!!
I have been using the Nars foundation and I love it. The salesperson found the exact shade for me and having drier skin, it doesn't feel too dry on my skin and covers a multitude of issues. We'll see how it works out in the hot Maryland summers.
Just ordered the Haus Labs and they had a test online to determine your shade. They also have a guarantee that if you get the wrong shade you can return it for free.
Please do concealers next and mention some good ones for older skin types. Thanks girls 🤩
Yes! It’s hard to find the balance of good coverage, long wear, but no settling into lines.
I’ve been a chemist and a process engineer with 12 years of experience in the beauty industry, and I will say, SOME raw materials are hard to get sometimes because it’s simply over-ordered, but that is very rarely the case when brands relaunch.
Most of the time, it’s because the EU or California (both very stringent entities) have called out an ingredient as “ban-worthy” in their state or country OR fully banned.
Rather than wait for the ingredient to be banned everywhere (or not being able to ship it to that country/state) and having to scramble to over label the components, brands reformulate. THAT is what happens all the time.
Also, not all alcohols are rough on skin and moisture barrier. Customers often complain about alcohol in formulations bc they don’t know fatty alcohols exist. They do the opposite of strip moisture from skin.
One more thing if anyone is still reading 😂: I HATE the Haus Labs foundation formula. It’s SO heavy and gives the same effect as the drugstore foundations in the late 90’s did. So thick, so stiff, probably way too much TIO2. No.
I was still reading! 😂
I’ve always hated my super pale skin. But after hearing so many not being able to find their perfect shade match, I’m happy. I just choose the palest shade and hope it’s light enough. Haha haha 😂 (that’s my issue, many shades arent pale enough, think whiteout and that’s my shade) 😅😊
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thank u! Can’t wait for the next one - concealer is my jam! ❤
loved this video, very helpful, hope you do more with Nikki
Such a great convo, 10/10 informational! Now I want you two to do a “Top Rated” review convo! 🎉
Idk how I’m just now watching this video, but it was super helpful and fun to watch!❤️
The old days of 17 shade ranges for a foundation. That is when we were all schooled to take the foundation down our neck and blend so you can’t see the demarcation line. It is because it didn’t really match our skin tone!! (By the way, I am so enjoying this video!)
This is so fun to watch. You steal my time you all. Hahaha love thisssssss content!
This was fantastic ladies ❤ I’m so delighted I’ve discovered Susan’s channel - you make the perfect double act ❤❤
They look & act like sisters.😊
absolutely loved this video ladies, please do more!!!
Dynamic duo love the vibe off these 2 together
I love this kind of video. I agree Armani is the best and I’m an oily girl.Their shade range is impressive. It’s worth the price in my opinion.
I am LIVING for this series! Only buying new products based on these vids 😅
Loved this video. I think it would be interesting to know which foundation you both wore for this video. Love you both.
Nikki, I love the Haus Labs foundation as well. It looks beautiful on my skin.
I’m one of the people that has Ilia skin tint as my staple and I’ll
explain why: I have dry skin and live in Colorado ( very dry) and for some reason it has such a plumping and even blurring effect on me throughout the day. I layer it over a very lightweight spf like the Madagascar centella or hero green spf. I will say i use it for light coverage if I do try to get more of a medium coverage it does look very weird so a little goes a long way! So throughout the day my skin just soaks it up and it goes from looking dewy to airbrushed at the end of the day ( which to me is incredibe as a move from day to evening). As a comparison a foundation like Armani silk even though it is very beautiful at first it eventually looks very dry and matte on my skin which I don’t like over time so it’s definitely only a summer one for me. Hope that helps!
I was surprised Estee Lauder Double Wear wasn't on the list: it's affordable, long lasting and with a great finish 😊
50$ for a foundation is not affordable.
@morgianasartre6709 , it's just over £30 in the UK and it lasts forever. I don't need to repurchase it until after its expiry date and it still has enough left. You only need a little, so yes, it is affordable.
I’m surprised it wasn’t either actually!
I was looking for this comment.😅
I hate it .. makes me break out. Makes a lot of other people I know break out. My moms been using it for over 16 years and she breaks out with it also💀but is still in love with it lol.
