You are a wonderful presenter. Love that you do not use repetitive words. You have an amazing gift for making your videos endlessly interesting. Brilliant ! 🇨🇦
OMG I was shocked. The Chanel is my all time favourite foundation. It’s just shows you how different foundation can be on different people. All your negatives about this just does not happen to me at all, and I am 47 years old, normal to combo skin. It also lasts all day on me and looks fantastic. I just apply a smallish amount with my fingers as it advises on the website. I can imagine if I applied it with a brush, and went it with another layer to build up then it may look dry and powdery, but I get great coverage (my skin is good and doesn’t have a lot to cover) and it stays put all day.
Pampered Wolf Yeah absolutely. It just shows you the difference in skin types etc. Mind you I haven’t tried the new formulation. Mine is still the Original, but from what I hear it’s almost identical. I have just went out and bought the NYX foundation to try though 😂😂😂
Sharon Galloway is one of mi favorite foundation I have repurchase this one multiple times and I have try so many different foundation from different brands
Yesss! I never get sick of foundation reviews...it saves ME money 😄 you can really never have too much info on them if you don't have perfect skin anyway like me. I appreciate you!
I’ve never watched a 30 minute makeup video in my life and this has been the first video I’ve ever had the desire and willpower to sit through. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together. I really love the format of doing multiple products in one review like this. I don’t have time to watch countless videos by different people so jamming all the good content into this one clip has been heaven for me! Your presenting style is so genuine and honest. It helps that you have really pretty makeup in the style I like, being 37 some of the other YT accounts don’t really represent me. Thanks for making me feel seen! 🌷
Wendy F I’m the same! I end up down a rabbit hole and none the wiser. I’m going to hopefully try the Clarins Youth Fluid tomorrow as it sounds like the one for me. 🤞🏻
I love NYX born to glow foundation. I wear it everyday. I have normal to oily skin slightly oily skin. And I'm 63 and it looks fabulous on my skin. I also find that it lasts more than 12 hours and still looks good. there are many days when I put my makeup on at 7 in the morning and I don't take it off till like 10 at night. And it still looks pretty good. I love the born to glow foundation. Ab solutely my favorite.
On my dry skin, the NYX Born to Glow was a sad disappointment. It doesn't last beyond 5-6 hours, and it dries out my skin something horrible. It does look absolutely fantastic for those first hours, but the way it eats up my moisture barrier is just not worth it. I've saved the tube, and will gift it to my friend with oily skin at my first opportunity.
Kaysie the Nyx foundation doesn’t work for me either and I have oily skin, it makes my skin look very dry (which it is not) and wears so poorly throughout the day, it’s such a shame though as the shade I have is a perfect match for my skin colour.
Robin Buhl Funny , funny how a TH-camr mentioned how horrible and thick the Fenty hydrating foundation is. Just proves how very different products preform for everyone!!!
OMG the Chanel is my HG foundation! I have mature (47), oily combo skin and it lasts all day, never breaking up. It actually looks more beautiful as the day goes on. It never sinks into lines. Maybe after 8 hours I blot my t-zone but gawd I always get compliments on my skin with this. I dermaplane my skin at least once a week so I can't speak to the peach fuzz. But yes, I do wish they had more of a color range.
I knew this was going to be an unpopular choice for the bottom spot, but it proves that we are all different. I can only speak about my experience is with a product, although I know that others love this. I guess it's either a love it or hate it product. xxx
OMG this Chanel has been my favorite for covering my redness and all. It hides my pores and other imperfections and still looks like skin. I do have combo skin as well so it does not dry my skin at all. I love the look and the long lasting effect. Thanks for a lot of info about all the foundations you shared. Appreciate.
Sitting here in covid 19 quarantine,unable to go out and check colors or anything else - forced to shop online ! I tried to check every possible recommendation for a new foundation ( my old discontinued - of course. ) , and after watching this, I decided on the Clarins everlasting youth . And after using Clarins for a couple of months now - I am totally in love with it - Thank you so incredible much for your video here . Just as you say - my skin looks air-brushed ! And me being a bit allergic to lots of products ; I have no problems what-so-ever with this ! The Chanel foundation is also exactly as you say ! I bought one of those earlier . It was money thrown out my window. Powdery look, but nothing covered. Even though I accidentally bought a colour too dark for me, it didn`t show. In stead, it looked like I was without make-up, on a very tired day , and it looked like my skin was drying up.
That was so useful to me now because i am fed up of wasting money on the wrong foundations so i am trying to research about them now before buying . Thanks!
Sun Q I got so fed up of wasting money on the wrong foundations too! Now I always ask for samples at makeup counters of a couple of shades before buying. Often they tell me they’ve run out of little containers to put the sample in so I bring my own!! 😆🤣 At some large Boots stores they often let me go around putting samples into my own little pots as freely as I want.. the worst anyone can say is no! It’s saved me tons on wrong foundations.
Well, I have been trying endless foundations over the past few weeks as my 47 year old skin has changed and I have to say I am currently favouring the Clarins. Tried the Born to Glow, but it didn't like my normal to dry skin. I have been trying them all every which way. With primer, no primer, moisturiser, clean skin, and also with foundation brushes or a sponge. Thoroughly tested!! Have found that it's surprising how different applications affect the same foundation. A tip for anyone trying a new foundation would be to try it several times and also get a sample to take home. I buy small pots from Superdrug and dispense into them in store. Thanks Gemma for all your tips! I now have more confidence in buying new make up and I have had to buy new storage for my bathroom to hold all the new make up goodies!!xxx
The foundations that work well for you and your Mum are usually good for me as well but I felt about the new Shiseido like you do about the Chanel!!! I’m going to check out the Clarins and NYX. I agree with everyone else that your eyes look fabulous in this video!!
Gemma, I love that your #1 is drugstore! I have both the NXY and CT. I'm wearing CT and do use a primer over my SFP and skin care. I do see what you mean about pores :( but otherwise I love it and get great coverage with 1 pump. I purchased the NXY at your recommendation and like it but haven't used it much yet. I really enjoyed this video! I'm at work eating lunch while I watch. Have a great day!
I love that when you analyze a foundation that you mention the qualities you assess. I'm in my 60s and I never thought of them nor has anyone else spoken of them,ex it moves. I had oily skin until menopause hit and we thought foundation was for old ladies. I lived in Italy and Lancome made a tinted moisturizer for oily skin that absorbed oil so I liked that and put powder on it. W. I moved to the USA in the 90s but the most I used was a powder from Lancome that was foundation when applied with a sponge and powder during the day with a puff. The idea of not putting powder on never occurred to me. The was a competition in the ladies' room about what compact you had. The rich girls had Chanel. When it closed it sounded like a MercedesBenz door closing. There was the Bobbi Brown/Origins/Prescriptives for the "natural" look. But no powder? Is this new that you don't powder concealer or foundation? Is it due to the new technology in make up? How can concealer not get into creases without powder? I was sick last summer. I couldn't concentrate so I thought TH-cam videos wold be a good watch. I love make up and always have. Anyone doing anything sparkling, colored was looked down on. When there was a big "do" I had my make up done professionally. Good make up was expensive and people didn't have a lot of anything. Then I saw Smashbox on QVC and got two shadow trios, two cream liners, mascara, blush and highlighter (new in 2004) lip pencil, lipstick and a gloss four ties a year. Then there was another special - I'd never watched it before - and I signed up so I got eight faces in a year.They taught you how to apply it too!everyone else had sold me ew colors but nothing about application. TH-cam is great and your enjoyment and relaxed attitude make make up fun. Your Mum is a darling. I love you look so good and don't have every product imaginable on. It's flattering, not a masque. QUESTION: My skin became dry, in fact very dry. The cosmetician who has known me for twenty years didn't reach for an up-scale moisturizer but the big tub of Ceravé that looks like it's for body. Fine for night. Yes I do need it for day in winter. I'd been using a liquid moisturizer called Hydroshield. You let it set for ten minutes and it's matte, absorbed I. But now I was drier than hat. How do I prep my skin for make up? Should I use the HA from The Ordinary? That would help with dryness. The moisturizer that works for me in this weather is the L'Occitane rich Shea butter moisturizer. So how do people with dry skin prep? I always use an antioxidant under SPF. Then primer. It's a habit b/c the pores diminish ad the make up stays. during b he day. SPF, I don't know if the dry look is skincare or the make up. How can you tell which it is? The Charlotte Tillbury palette looked super on you.
Fantastic review! Congratulations! I see your videos since a very short period of time but I think that you, and your Mom, are excellent and joyful. From now on I'll see all your videos and I take good care of your revues. Thank you for being what you are. 👍👍😀🤩
Gemma I am absolutely speechless at your number 9! It’s Hot&Flashys holy grail and she is the pickiest of the picky. After many months of hearing her rave about this foundation, I finally took the plunge and bought it for myself, and it’s my HG as well! Lol! I didn’t find it to set into my lines and wrinkles, both hot and flashy an I have mature skin, no furriness , stayed beautiful all day. So weird!
I knew this would be an unpopular choice. I think this is either a love it or hate it foundation. I can only speak about my personal experience with a product....but I know a lot of people like it. xxx
Gemma you look absolutely glowing today! Please replicate your look on a tutorial on you and on your mum! I am 67 and want that healthy natural glow you have! Great job thank you for all your hard work, advice and time!
You're the only YT'r I would watch the advert for a Transformer Table for! Goodness, it went on and on and on, 😂😂. Love your choices. I haven't got the NYX one as I thought it was for oily skin only. That will be rectified asap! It's so strange how bits of make up end up your Mum's house, mystery right there. 😊❣🌸❣🌸❣
I am 58 with oily skin, I tried 4 of your list, the Kevyn Aucoin was the absolute worst for me, hard to blend, patchy ,looked horrible. It was like trying to smear Playdoh on my face. The Studio Skin right down there too, was a greasy mess in no time and oxidized several shades on me, The NYX, not sure why I tried anything with the word Glow in it, never works for me and I was shiny quickly. I really like the Chanel! lightweight, natural coverage and long lasting on me. I am most interested in trying the Shiseido one, passing on the rest. Thanks for the in depth roundup!
Thanks for the great reviews! I so appreciate how you break down the pros and cons of each foundation and how they interact with your and your Mum's skin. I never get tired of foundation reviews especially when they're done by you. xxoo
Thank you so much for all your detailed tips. What a pro. I was about to shop for everything to lighten up/minimize my foundation. But I'm stopping myself until I have watched all the videos you recommend. I would like to ask if you think the Nyx Born to glow would be light enough for the summer? Is Clarins less paint like than it used to be? In other words, would you care to do a video on best current summer foundations with regards to skin type, coverage needs and climate? (I love the climate details)! I trust your real life expertise 😌 way more than I care about the counter lady advice and attitude towards my acne scars or my yellow undertone 😀 Thank you very much, you so deserve being on top. ☀
I also love the Clarins everlasting youth fluid foundation, but I disagree that it's slightly tacky. I wonder if it's how it works with your moisturizer or primer that might be causing it? I find it to feel almost silky, powdery smooth. Thanks for sharing this, I'll be trying the Nyx. It's hard to keep up with the high price of clarins.
I’ve been eyeing the NYX foundation since it came out, this video sealed the deal you’ve never let me down. Also when I’ve had a question........ you answer me , thank you so much you have no idea how much we all appreciate being answered.
I just got my NYX foundation today and used for first time. I bought online and got the shade you use as I think I’m similar colouring. It looked gorgeous all day. Only problem was I squeezed out way too much. I think I only need a tiny amount. Had enough on my hand for 3 days at least ! Love it. This was really interesting to watch. Skin is pretty normal this time of year, normal to oily in summer. I’m in my 60s.
Thanks Gemma for this in-depth review. I'm close to your Mom's age and nice to know that she likes the NYX foundation. Will have to try it and luckily it's very affordable. Blessings....Sherry - from across the pond in Oregon
Hi Gemma , I have never tried NYX will have to give it a go. Like the sound of the Clarins foundation, I don't buy Clarins products, think I should though. There are quite a few companies that don't seem to get much of a mention anymore, Elizabeth Arden, Givenchy and Clarins seems to be one of them. Thank you Gemma for reminding me. 😘😘
Wow I cannot believe all the research and work you put into this thank you thank you thank you! I loved this video and I am still looking for foundation that I like it 58 years old so you like it and your mom likes it so I'm going to give it a shot thank you so much again great job
Literally searching a foundation review and up pops this! Great timing! Just feeling in a rutt and fed up of 'seeing' foundation on my skin, mid thirties now and feel less is now definitely more. Have watched all your reviews but great to have a recap when I'm about to do a little online shopping. Thanks!! Enjoying all the vids, thanks for your hard work, have a lovely week x x x
Belles Bear I feel like you and I’m 49 - I didn’t have to worry about settling into creases and looking heavy until recently - only worried about looking shiny, now I worry about looking dry!!
@@wendyraye hope you've managed to find something that suits! The thought of adding fine lines to this dehydrated face is not something I'm looking forward to! Nothing sits right this year without lines, I'll look lovely I'm sure once there's wrinkles for it to sit in too! I suspect upping the hydration is actually my answer but any excuse for a bit of a shop and I'll take it x
Hi Gemma..... Thanks for listing these... I still reach for the CYO while it's available. I guess I will eventually find another "go to" foundation. I like the Loreal 24 hr and I have a Benefit foundation I am fond of currently. I was loving the UrbanDecay for a bit but for some reason it just doesn't sit on my skin the same lately. I am one of the very fortunate to have normal skin (minimal dryness in the winter and minimal oiliness through the hottest months). I love a light/mefium coverage and prefer a slightly radiant finish (I want it to look natural). I am also a face toucher and want a transfer resistant foundation.... Man I want a lot out of a foundation..... Ha ha... I can normally get 2-3 things I want but have never found one that hits all. .... I always love how thorough your reviews are !!!!!!
Melissa Mickle the Soap and Glory Kick Ass Foundation is the exact same as CYO foundation but they have doubled the price. CYO is my absolute favourite but can’t get it in Australia so have to source it overseas. I’m going to try and stock up. But I will buy the Soap and Glory one if I need to.
Great reviews Gemma. Love your additional comments if a product works for your Mum. I am in need of some foundation, and will try the NYX.. I find it good to have another back up for “those days” when a favourite does not work.
Have been looking forward to this video 😀 Just started watching it, but I had to jump down and compliment your eyeshadow and your jealously perfect eyelid/eye socket 😍 But I thought the smashbox would get higher up on the list, since you liked it in your review and the only unavoidable negatives was how matt it is (on me it is actually dewy) and the amount of coverage 😊
Very helpful. It’s nice to hear what the pros and cons are. Next you should dupe the best ones 👍 I’m laughing about people complaining about the plastic Fenty foundation - that makes it travel friendly as opposed to a glass bottle that can shatter, although it’s gorgeous packaging. I’m so behind I just got Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder 🤣 I’m happy that a drugstore is top spot.
I am normal to dry skin but I loved the Nyx born to glow foundation. I used it on its own or mixed with other foundation- it works just the same, luminous and very beautiful on the skin. I love it!
Antonette Dorado that may be an excellent idea! Thank you! I’m gonna try mixing with other foundations, not because it’s not enough but because I have several foundations that just don’t quite cut it. Worth a try & could save money.
Good video, lots of information. I'm still looking for a foundation that makes my skin look better, not worse. Your makeup today looks fabulous! Please do a video on how to get this look.
Cant believe I am just now discovering you. I love in depth your reviews are! I'm trying to choose which foundation to try next and stumbled upon this video and I found this very helpful. Thank you so much! You got a new loyal subscriber!
I don't need a new foundation right now, but I love your videos, so I watched this 😉. As always I'm impressed by the hard work, the research, testing.... you did, Gemma. Thanks to Jan too 😍! By the way.... You look absolutely beautiful, Gemma! Hugs and kisses, Sabine 😘
This is a fab review/video Gemma, thank you 😘 And I soooo agree with the Chanel & CT foundations - they drive me nuts! Clarins here I come it seems 😍xxx
I got the NYX Born to Glow foundation today. You are right...looks amazing. Smooth and full coverage. I find the shades a bit too yellow but I can work with it. Also a HINT for those with dry skin. Since Gamma gave us a heads up that this might not be the best for dry skin, I put IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation under it first,as it's just a tinted moisturizer to give more hydration along with my regular moisturizer. I often use the BBF or the IT CC Cream under foundations as they are marvelous for just that and to start building coverage. By themselves they don't have long wear but used to help a matte foundation have more moisture then it pairs beautifully.
Love the video. You should do a top 10 lipstick/gloss one as well :) I was surprised you didn't mention the Urban Decay foundation. You did quite a positive review on it
For some reason I thought you did a video previously and YVES SAINT LAURENT TOUCHE ECLAT All-In-One Glow was your favorite. Maybe you changed your mind or I'm mistaken. Either way, what I really want to comment on are those eyes! You rock that UD Honey Palette .... I think I will need to give it a try in the store. Since I am 63, I have doubts that I will be able to pull it off the way you do. Keep up the good work....love your videos.
Excellent reviews Gemma! Im delighted to see my beloved Clarins foundation made the top 2! lol I feel like a sodding saleswoman for the stuff as Im forever banging on about it lol. Thanks for taking the time to try out all these foundations for us so we dont waste our money buying a dud! Have a great day xx
You made me reach out for my Charlotte T foundation again after I'd given up on it because it was just not working for me. Then I watched you recent video on how to apply your make up and it worked miracles. Using the combo of brush followed by a sponge - thank you! Really enjoying your channel!
I have dry mature skin and the Kevin Aucoin balm is this years best for me. After I used my essence and serums, I prep my skin as they suggest. I used CT magic cream, Tatcha's oil, Tatcha's primer and Tatcha's sun block. I only buff a light application on and set it with La Prairie's new loose powder. It stayed all day and felt like skin. It evened out my complexion. I love how easy it is to buff in.
I hated the Chanel too! I am 64 and all it did was fill in my bucket pores and gave me a polka dot face. It was awful and I took it back the next day. I will give your mum’s top pick a try! I love a lot of the Clarins products so i am hopeful it will work for me. Thank you so much!
You are stunning in this video!! I will give clarins a try next, I have the NYX on your recommendation and I use that in rotation with the No7 for work, I threw the smash box one away! Love foundation reviews and love that you are nearing 100,000 subscribers! How does it feel to be that loved 😘
I'm trying not to think about it Gina...I get so emotional when I think of all The Pampered Wolf Pack....I have a surprise up my sleeve for you all though xxx
Thank you Gemma for the brilliant reviews on so many new foundation releases. I am always looking for a 'holy grail' foundation and your top 3 are now ones I'm going to look for and trial, particually the Clarins as with combination mature skin I have high hope of this. Many thanks to your mum as well as her input is invaluable xx
Your number 1 is my number 1 too!!! It is so beautiful and all of my high end foundations don't come close to the finish and wear of the Nyx born to glow 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for putting so much effort into this video. I cannot believe your number one choice-I just returned the product line because it looked horrible on me! Just goes to show you “the same foundation will look different on everyone.” To quote a expert
Fabulous tutorial Gemma... will put the NYX foundation on list, especially if your mum gives it the 👍🏻.. Totally love that you’ve included her experiences, gives us more mature women a platform in a world of youth beauty 💖
Funny that you mentioned the contact lenses because I was going to tell you how beautiful & wide your eyes looked today and the eye makeup color was gorgeous with the eye color. I’m in the US & still waiting for Walgreens to get the BORN TO GLOW. I’ll have to check Ulta but they are usually more expensive. I have heard it may be a dupe for the new Anastasia. Hum?? Cheers!!!
What am excellent well researched video. Thank you! I was super disappointed with my Charlotte tilbury purchase... Just something a bit off about that foundation. Very strange! My favourite new release has got to be the kat von d portrait foundation. I've already used half a bottle. 😊
I just picked up the NYX Born To Glow this month and adore it. My Mom has been searching for a new foundation for a long time and is a bit picky (love her❤️). She tried mine out and to my disbelief, liked it🥳. Now she needs to find the right shade. So yes, we both love it. I’m really excited about the new RMS foundation and can’t wait to hear/see some reviews (hint hint, lol). Walgreens recently got some of my shade of the CYO so I got a couple backups...again🤭🤫. The drugstore foundations are really impressive these days! Thanks, girlie🍃🌸
i just discovered your channel and i’ve been binging. but first i had to show my sister and husband my long lost british twin. i’m shook. anyways. i was watching the anna edit the other day and she was saying that she heard to spray your face before applying the new rms because it’s so thick it blends better that way. well i have the kevyn aucoin balm and hadn’t quite figured out the perfect way to use it for my skin which is dry/mature 😩 so i sprayed with my too faced 3 in 1 hangover spray and blended the foundation balm over with my face damp. 🙌🏻💃🏼💁🏼♀️ PERFECTION!!
Terrific video once again Gemma! Thank you for your thoroughness.... as a mature lady I’ve struggled with foundations highlighting my pores and fine lines... Also - can I just say that your eyes look AMAZING in today’s video! What are you wearing? :)
Gemma you look beautiful today ! Just wondering if your going to review Tati Westbrook eyeshadow palette ? But just a thought ! I was going to buy Charlotte Tilbury airbrush , but after seeing a few reviews and no it put me off as it’s a matte finish but I love dewy looking foundation ! And enhance my skin not stick to fine lines ! I wonder which one your loved thinking maybe Narrs. , yes maybe wrong but that’s the fun !
Wow, Hi Cameron Diaz, oh it’s you Gemma! Looking gorgeous as usual. Thanks to you and your mum for testing out the foundations. My best one ever was the Clarins one for mature skin. I wish I could afford it now that I’m retired Xxx
Hi Gemma was wondering if at sometime you’d be able to do a review on more affordable drug store foundations, some of them seem to be getting rave reviews and are being compared to Estée Lauder ie W7 foundations, also the Primark range has got good reports and Mua
Pampered Wolf Thanks Gemma I’m just really interested to see if the more affordable foundations are worth buying, as I said some ie W7 have been given excellent reviews and are very reasonably priced! xx
So excited for this review! I have been waiting for your pick so I can buy a new foundation for the Winter. I will be keeping my eye on your channel on Social blade.... so close to 100K😱❤
I wasn't keen on the urban decay - Honey palette until I saw this video. I was like Wow I love your eyes the best I've seen them look. 🥰💗 ordering myself a b.day prezzy ! Thanks Gem 🤗💗👍
I think I’ll be looking into the Clarins foundation after this it sounds perfect for me. The prize for worst packaging should definitely go to Anastasia Beverly Hills, such an ugly bottle with that huge writing not at all luxurious. I know we don’t wear the packaging but it wouldn’t draw me to that foundation. So interesting Gemma, thank you . You looked stunning as usual. 😊
Hi Gemma I have just found this review, thank you x I have worn Estee Lauder perfectionist for ages, it's amazing on my skin ( I'm 60, good skin, but fine lines etc) I really can't find anything to replace it now as they don't make it anymore. Maybe your mum could do her top 5 foundations, she's great ( it must be a family thing x) I would really appreciate seeing her opinions , much love xx
Great review on all the ‘new new’ foundations, it gets so confusing which ones are good and which ones to miss when there are so many - it nice to get an overall comparison when some are quite pricey. 🥰😀My newest purchases are n07 hydra luminous and the urban decay chosen after your great reviews and they both are AMAZING. Seems I’m outdated already!! 🤪🤣 thank you so much, almost at 100k 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💖💖💖💖💖 might need to try the NYX 😍😍
I really enjoyed this video! I’d love if you could make it a bit of a mini series and maybe rank and rate the various foundations of certain brands that have many foundations - like which is the best No7 foundation, or the best Nyx foundation, etc.
Foundation is always the tricky one! To me for mature skin the best foundation by far is Koh Gen Do Aqua foundation👍it can be applied directly on skin without any prep or with a moisturizer of your choice, it doesn’t matter it will look the same-completely undetectable.
You are a wonderful presenter. Love that you do not use repetitive words. You have an amazing gift for making your videos endlessly interesting. Brilliant ! 🇨🇦
I really appreciate you including the results on mature skin!
Me too! I love her videos she is one of my favorite you tubers.
OMG I was shocked. The Chanel is my all time favourite foundation. It’s just shows you how different foundation can be on different people. All your negatives about this just does not happen to me at all, and I am 47 years old, normal to combo skin. It also lasts all day on me and looks fantastic. I just apply a smallish amount with my fingers as it advises on the website. I can imagine if I applied it with a brush, and went it with another layer to build up then it may look dry and powdery, but I get great coverage (my skin is good and doesn’t have a lot to cover) and it stays put all day.
Sharon Galloway me too and I’ve never tried it:)
I knew that would be an unpopular decision...but I can only talk about mine and my mum's experience xxx
Sharon Galloway I was going to buy a Chanel foundation last weekend, it as soon as I saw that the my test on animals... I just couldn’t do it!
Pampered Wolf Yeah absolutely. It just shows you the difference in skin types etc. Mind you I haven’t tried the new formulation. Mine is still the Original, but from what I hear it’s almost identical. I have just went out and bought the NYX foundation to try though 😂😂😂
Sharon Galloway is one of mi favorite foundation I have repurchase this one multiple times and I have try so many different foundation from different brands
Yesss! I never get sick of foundation reviews...it saves ME money 😄 you can really never have too much info on them if you don't have perfect skin anyway like me. I appreciate you!

Michelle Beresford I agree - before I know it hours have gone by and I’m still not sure because of opposite opinions.
Wendy F I’m the same! I end up down a rabbit hole and none the wiser. I’m going to hopefully try the Clarins Youth Fluid tomorrow as it sounds like the one for me. 🤞🏻
Your eye makeup is stunning and exactly the look I want for a party in a few weeks time.. please do a tutorial!
I love NYX born to glow foundation. I wear it everyday. I have normal to oily skin slightly oily skin. And I'm 63 and it looks fabulous on my skin. I also find that it lasts more than 12 hours and still looks good. there are many days when I put my makeup on at 7 in the morning and I don't take it off till like 10 at night. And it still looks pretty good. I love the born to glow foundation. Ab
solutely my favorite.
On my dry skin, the NYX Born to Glow was a sad disappointment. It doesn't last beyond 5-6 hours, and it dries out my skin something horrible. It does look absolutely fantastic for those first hours, but the way it eats up my moisture barrier is just not worth it. I've saved the tube, and will gift it to my friend with oily skin at my first opportunity.
Kaysie the Nyx foundation doesn’t work for me either and I have oily skin, it makes my skin look very dry (which it is not) and wears so poorly throughout the day, it’s such a shame though as the shade I have is a perfect match for my skin colour.
Robin Buhl Funny , funny how a TH-camr mentioned how horrible and thick the Fenty hydrating foundation is. Just proves how very different products preform for everyone!!!
Robin Buhl sounds like the product I may be looking for.
@@heatherdarl1496 same here! I am oily and it doesn't last for a long time. That's sad because it had my exact skin shade, which is hard to find :(
totally off topic, but let's talk about Gemmas gorgeous eyes!! you look beautiful Gemma!! 🙌
Your eyeshadow look today is absolutely stunning! I would love a tutorial on this look.♥️
Deb Leigh looks like Natasha denona eye shadow.
OMG the Chanel is my HG foundation! I have mature (47), oily combo skin and it lasts all day, never breaking up. It actually looks more beautiful as the day goes on. It never sinks into lines. Maybe after 8 hours I blot my t-zone but gawd I always get compliments on my skin with this. I dermaplane my skin at least once a week so I can't speak to the peach fuzz. But yes, I do wish they had more of a color range.
I knew this was going to be an unpopular choice for the bottom spot, but it proves that we are all different. I can only speak about my experience is with a product, although I know that others love this. I guess it's either a love it or hate it product. xxx
My HG as well Jenls. I’m 42 and have found it so much more flattering than the dozens of other foundations I’ve tried!
OMG this Chanel has been my favorite for covering my redness and all. It hides my pores and other imperfections and still looks like skin. I do have combo skin as well so it does not dry my skin at all. I love the look and the long lasting effect. Thanks for a lot of info about all the foundations you shared. Appreciate.
Sitting here in covid 19 quarantine,unable to go out and check colors or anything else - forced to shop online ! I tried to check every possible recommendation for a new foundation ( my old discontinued - of course. ) , and after watching this, I decided on the Clarins everlasting youth . And after using Clarins for a couple of months now - I am totally in love with it - Thank you so incredible much for your video here . Just as you say - my skin looks air-brushed ! And me being a bit allergic to lots of products ; I have no problems what-so-ever with this !
The Chanel foundation is also exactly as you say ! I bought one of those earlier . It was money thrown out my window. Powdery look, but nothing covered. Even though I accidentally bought a colour too dark for me, it didn`t show. In stead, it looked like I was without make-up, on a very tired day , and it looked like my skin was drying up.
Ok, we really need a makeup tutorial. You look incredible. I loved your makeup eyes. Please let us know what you did 😘😘
That was so useful to me now because i am fed up of wasting money on the wrong foundations so i am trying to research about them now before buying . Thanks!
Sun Q I got so fed up of wasting money on the wrong foundations too! Now I always ask for samples at makeup counters of a couple of shades before buying. Often they tell me they’ve run out of little containers to put the sample in so I bring my own!! 😆🤣 At some large Boots stores they often let me go around putting samples into my own little pots as freely as I want.. the worst anyone can say is no! It’s saved me tons on wrong foundations.
@@amberl653 love the idea of the little pots ❤️😀
Well, I have been trying endless foundations over the past few weeks as my 47 year old skin has changed and I have to say I am currently favouring the Clarins. Tried the Born to Glow, but it didn't like my normal to dry skin. I have been trying them all every which way. With primer, no primer, moisturiser, clean skin, and also with foundation brushes or a sponge. Thoroughly tested!! Have found that it's surprising how different applications affect the same foundation. A tip for anyone trying a new foundation would be to try it several times and also get a sample to take home. I buy small pots from Superdrug and dispense into them in store. Thanks Gemma for all your tips! I now have more confidence in buying new make up and I have had to buy new storage for my bathroom to hold all the new make up goodies!!xxx
The foundations that work well for you and your Mum are usually good for me as well but I felt about the new Shiseido like you do about the Chanel!!! I’m going to check out the Clarins and NYX. I agree with everyone else that your eyes look fabulous in this video!!
Sooooo glad you make cruelty-free a priority for products. 🐇🐾 Very important to many consumers. Make-up companies take note!
Gemma, I love that your #1 is drugstore! I have both the NXY and CT. I'm wearing CT and do use a primer over my SFP and skin care. I do see what you mean about pores :( but otherwise I love it and get great coverage with 1 pump. I purchased the NXY at your recommendation and like it but haven't used it much yet. I really enjoyed this video! I'm at work eating lunch while I watch. Have a great day!
I love that when you analyze a foundation that you mention the qualities you assess. I'm in my 60s and I never thought of them nor has anyone else spoken of them,ex it moves. I had oily skin until menopause hit and we thought foundation was for old ladies. I lived in Italy and Lancome made a tinted moisturizer for oily skin that absorbed oil so I liked that and put powder on it. W. I moved to the USA in the 90s but the most I used was a powder from Lancome that was foundation when applied with a sponge and powder during the day with a puff. The idea of not putting powder on never occurred to me. The was a competition in the ladies' room about what compact you had. The rich girls had Chanel. When it closed it sounded like a MercedesBenz door closing. There was the Bobbi Brown/Origins/Prescriptives for the "natural" look. But no powder? Is this new that you don't powder concealer or foundation? Is it due to the new technology in make up? How can concealer not get into creases without powder?
I was sick last summer. I couldn't concentrate so I thought TH-cam videos wold be a good watch. I love make up and always have. Anyone doing anything sparkling, colored was looked down on. When there was a big "do" I had my make up done professionally. Good make up was expensive and people didn't have a lot of anything. Then I saw Smashbox on QVC and got two shadow trios, two cream liners, mascara, blush and highlighter (new in 2004) lip pencil, lipstick and a gloss four ties a year. Then there was another special - I'd never watched it before - and I signed up so I got eight faces in a year.They taught you how to apply it too!everyone else had sold me ew colors but nothing about application. TH-cam is great and your enjoyment and relaxed attitude make make up fun. Your Mum is a darling. I love you look so good and don't have every product imaginable on. It's flattering, not a masque.
QUESTION: My skin became dry, in fact very dry. The cosmetician who has known me for twenty years didn't reach for an up-scale moisturizer but the big tub of Ceravé that looks like it's for body. Fine for night. Yes I do need it for day in winter. I'd been using a liquid moisturizer called Hydroshield. You let it set for ten minutes and it's matte, absorbed I. But now I was drier than hat.
How do I prep my skin for make up? Should I use the HA from The Ordinary? That would help with dryness. The moisturizer that works for me in this weather is the L'Occitane rich Shea butter moisturizer.
So how do people with dry skin prep? I always use an antioxidant under SPF. Then primer. It's a habit b/c the pores diminish ad the make up stays. during b he day. SPF,
I don't know if the dry look is skincare or the make up. How can you tell which it is?
The Charlotte Tillbury palette looked super on you.
Fantastic review! Congratulations! I see your videos since a very short period of time but I think that you, and your Mom, are excellent and joyful. From now on I'll see all your videos and I take good care of your revues. Thank you for being what you are. 👍👍😀🤩
Gemma I am absolutely speechless at your number 9!
It’s Hot&Flashys holy grail and she is the pickiest of the picky. After many months of hearing her rave about this foundation, I finally took the plunge and bought it for myself, and it’s my HG as well! Lol!
I didn’t find it to set into my lines and wrinkles, both hot and flashy an I have mature skin, no furriness , stayed beautiful all day.
So weird!
I knew this would be an unpopular choice. I think this is either a love it or hate it foundation. I can only speak about my personal experience with a product....but I know a lot of people like it. xxx
Gemma you look absolutely glowing today! Please replicate your look on a tutorial on you and on your mum! I am 67 and want that healthy natural glow you have! Great job thank you for all your hard work, advice and time!
You're the only YT'r I would watch the advert for a Transformer Table for! Goodness, it went on and on and on, 😂😂.
Love your choices. I haven't got the NYX one as I thought it was for oily skin only. That will be rectified asap!
It's so strange how bits of make up end up your Mum's house, mystery right there. 😊❣🌸❣🌸❣
Love you Chrissy xxx
I am 58 with oily skin, I tried 4 of your list, the Kevyn Aucoin was the absolute worst for me, hard to blend, patchy ,looked horrible. It was like trying to smear Playdoh on my face. The Studio Skin right down there too, was a greasy mess in no time and oxidized several shades on me, The NYX, not sure why I tried anything with the word Glow in it, never works for me and I was shiny quickly. I really like the Chanel! lightweight, natural coverage and long lasting on me. I am most interested in trying the Shiseido one, passing on the rest. Thanks for the in depth roundup!
Thanks for the great reviews! I so appreciate how you break down the pros and cons of each foundation and how they interact with your and your Mum's skin. I never get tired of foundation reviews especially when they're done by you. xxoo
Reading this whilst sat at Seth's football training Pat. He shouts Hi! xxx
Aww! Hi Seth!!! I want news of all your matches!! xxx
This eye look is STUNNING! Thank you for the advise. Please tell what is on your eyes.
It's listed in the description box, Urban Decay Honey palette.
Thank you so much for all your detailed tips. What a pro. I was about to shop for everything to lighten up/minimize my foundation. But I'm stopping myself until I have watched all the videos you recommend. I would like to ask if you think the Nyx Born to glow would be light enough for the summer? Is Clarins less paint like than it used to be? In other words, would you care to do a video on best current summer foundations with regards to skin type, coverage needs and climate? (I love the climate details)! I trust your real life expertise 😌 way more than I care about the counter lady advice and attitude towards my acne scars or my yellow undertone 😀 Thank you very much, you so deserve being on top. ☀

The foundation you are wearing here is perfection! The eyeshadow colours make your eyes look greyish blue, gorgeous.
I also love the Clarins everlasting youth fluid foundation, but I disagree that it's slightly tacky. I wonder if it's how it works with your moisturizer or primer that might be causing it? I find it to feel almost silky, powdery smooth. Thanks for sharing this, I'll be trying the Nyx. It's hard to keep up with the high price of clarins.
I’ve been eyeing the NYX foundation since it came out, this video sealed the deal you’ve never let me down. Also when I’ve had a question........ you answer me , thank you so much you have no idea how much we all appreciate being answered.
You're welcome Melanie xxx
Melanie gorniak careful cuz it’s thin and so easy to waste! Ha.
I just got my NYX foundation today and used for first time. I bought online and got the shade you use as I think I’m similar colouring. It looked gorgeous all day. Only problem was I squeezed out way too much. I think I only need a tiny amount. Had enough on my hand for 3 days at least ! Love it. This was really interesting to watch. Skin is pretty normal this time of year, normal to oily in summer. I’m in my 60s.
Thanks Gemma for this in-depth review. I'm close to your Mom's age and nice to know that she likes the NYX foundation. Will have to try it and luckily it's very affordable. Blessings....Sherry - from across the pond in Oregon
Hi Gemma , I have never tried NYX will have to give it a go. Like the sound of the Clarins foundation, I don't buy Clarins products, think I should though. There are quite a few companies that don't seem to get much of a mention anymore, Elizabeth Arden, Givenchy and Clarins seems to be one of them. Thank you Gemma for reminding me. 😘😘
Wow I cannot believe all the research and work you put into this thank you thank you thank you! I loved this video and I am still looking for foundation that I like it 58 years old so you like it and your mom likes it so I'm going to give it a shot thank you so much again great job
Your look today is absolutely beautiful! So flattering on you. 😊
Literally searching a foundation review and up pops this! Great timing! Just feeling in a rutt and fed up of 'seeing' foundation on my skin, mid thirties now and feel less is now definitely more. Have watched all your reviews but great to have a recap when I'm about to do a little online shopping. Thanks!! Enjoying all the vids, thanks for your hard work, have a lovely week x x x
Belles Bear I feel like you and I’m 49 - I didn’t have to worry about settling into creases and looking heavy until recently - only worried about looking shiny, now I worry about looking dry!!
@@wendyraye hope you've managed to find something that suits! The thought of adding fine lines to this dehydrated face is not something I'm looking forward to! Nothing sits right this year without lines, I'll look lovely I'm sure once there's wrinkles for it to sit in too! I suspect upping the hydration is actually my answer but any excuse for a bit of a shop and I'll take it x
I know this is off topic, but can you create a how to video for the makeup you are wearing in this video? It's GORGEOUS! :D
Joy Lynn agree...
Agreed!!
Hi Gemma..... Thanks for listing these... I still reach for the CYO while it's available. I guess I will eventually find another "go to" foundation. I like the Loreal 24 hr and I have a Benefit foundation I am fond of currently. I was loving the UrbanDecay for a bit but for some reason it just doesn't sit on my skin the same lately. I am one of the very fortunate to have normal skin (minimal dryness in the winter and minimal oiliness through the hottest months). I love a light/mefium coverage and prefer a slightly radiant finish (I want it to look natural). I am also a face toucher and want a transfer resistant foundation.... Man I want a lot out of a foundation..... Ha ha... I can normally get 2-3 things I want but have never found one that hits all. .... I always love how thorough your reviews are !!!!!!
Melissa Mickle the Soap and Glory Kick Ass Foundation is the exact same as CYO foundation but they have doubled the price. CYO is my absolute favourite but can’t get it in Australia so have to source it overseas. I’m going to try and stock up. But I will buy the Soap and Glory one if I need to.
Hi Gemma
Great review
I mix the clarins everlasting youth foundation with Estée Lauder double wear works hard all day on my skin
Omg Gemma, I am in love with your Eye Shadow today, so stunning! :)
Great reviews Gemma. Love your additional comments if a product works for your Mum. I am in need of some foundation, and will try the NYX.. I find it good to have another back up for “those days” when a favourite does not work.
Have been looking forward to this video 😀 Just started watching it, but I had to jump down and compliment your eyeshadow and your jealously perfect eyelid/eye socket 😍 But I thought the smashbox would get higher up on the list, since you liked it in your review and the only unavoidable negatives was how matt it is (on me it is actually dewy) and the amount of coverage 😊
It came down to personal opinion on that one, and the fact that I find it unflattering on a more mature skin xxx
Thank you for reviewing behind the scenes and for your (and your Mum's) honesty. :)
Very helpful. It’s nice to hear what the pros and cons are. Next you should dupe the best ones 👍 I’m laughing about people complaining about the plastic Fenty foundation - that makes it travel friendly as opposed to a glass bottle that can shatter, although it’s gorgeous packaging. I’m so behind I just got Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder 🤣 I’m happy that a drugstore is top spot.
I am normal to dry skin but I loved the Nyx born to glow foundation. I used it on its own or mixed with other foundation- it works just the same, luminous and very beautiful on the skin. I love it!
Antonette Dorado that may be an excellent idea! Thank you! I’m gonna try mixing with other foundations, not because it’s not enough but because I have several foundations that just don’t quite cut it. Worth a try & could save money.
I love your makeup in this video❤️
Good video, lots of information. I'm still looking for a foundation that makes my skin look better, not worse. Your makeup today looks fabulous! Please do a video on how to get this look.
Cant believe I am just now discovering you. I love in depth your reviews are! I'm trying to choose which foundation to try next and stumbled upon this video and I found this very helpful. Thank you so much! You got a new loyal subscriber!
Welcome to The Pampered Wolf Pack Jessica xxx
I don't need a new foundation right now, but I love your videos, so I watched this 😉. As always I'm impressed by the hard work, the research, testing.... you did, Gemma. Thanks to Jan too 😍!
By the way.... You look absolutely beautiful, Gemma!
Hugs and kisses, Sabine 😘
This is a fab review/video Gemma, thank you 😘 And I soooo agree with the Chanel & CT foundations - they drive me nuts! Clarins here I come it seems 😍xxx
I got the NYX Born to Glow foundation today. You are right...looks amazing. Smooth and full coverage. I find the shades a bit too yellow but I can work with it. Also a HINT for those with dry skin. Since Gamma gave us a heads up that this might not be the best for dry skin, I put IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation under it first,as it's just a tinted moisturizer to give more hydration along with my regular moisturizer. I often use the BBF or the IT CC Cream under foundations as they are marvelous for just that and to start building coverage. By themselves they don't have long wear but used to help a matte foundation have more moisture then it pairs beautifully.
Wow eyebrows on fleek!!! Your makeup has leveled up! Don’t know what you have done
Love that you give so much straight forward info, good and bad, on ALL of these foundations. It truly makes our lives, IMO, a little easier. 🧡
Love the video. You should do a top 10 lipstick/gloss one as well :) I was surprised you didn't mention the Urban Decay foundation. You did quite a positive review on it
It was just out of the time frame for the new releases, and as I'd already done a review on that one a while ago I didn't include it. xxx
Definitely agree with your ranking, great tip - try mixing a tiny bit of the Charlotte tilbury in with nyx BTG, amazing results! xxx
Love your eyes. Need a video on your eye look
For some reason I thought you did a video previously and YVES SAINT LAURENT
TOUCHE ECLAT All-In-One Glow was your favorite. Maybe you changed your mind or I'm mistaken. Either way, what I really want to comment on are those eyes! You rock that UD Honey Palette .... I think I will need to give it a try in the store. Since I am 63, I have doubts that I will be able to pull it off the way you do. Keep up the good work....love your videos.
This is a ranking of the NEW foundation releases not the old ones Mary xxx
Excellent reviews Gemma! Im delighted to see my beloved Clarins foundation made the top 2! lol I feel like a sodding saleswoman for the stuff as Im forever banging on about it lol. Thanks for taking the time to try out all these foundations for us so we dont waste our money buying a dud! Have a great day xx
You made me reach out for my Charlotte T foundation again after I'd given up on it because it was just not working for me. Then I watched you recent video on how to apply your make up and it worked miracles. Using the combo of brush followed by a sponge - thank you! Really enjoying your channel!
Another fantastic video, I can’t take my eyes off your eyes, you look so beautiful 😍
I have dry mature skin and the Kevin Aucoin balm is this years best for me. After I used my essence and serums,
I prep my skin as they suggest.
I used CT magic cream, Tatcha's oil, Tatcha's primer and Tatcha's sun block.
I only buff a light application on and set it with La Prairie's new loose powder. It stayed all day and felt like skin. It evened out my complexion. I love how easy it is to buff in.
Your complexion/makeup looks amazing and I love your eye makeup as well!
Thank you for mentioning when the product is cruelty free.
I would love to see a tutorial on the best cruelty free products, as I'm now checking back of products when buying now❤
I’m really curious about the Clarins one ...
I hated the Chanel too! I am 64 and all it did was fill in my bucket pores and gave me a polka dot face. It was awful and I took it back the next day. I will give your mum’s top pick a try! I love a lot of the Clarins products so i am hopeful it will work for me. Thank you so much!
You are stunning in this video!! I will give clarins a try next, I have the NYX on your recommendation and I use that in rotation with the No7 for work, I threw the smash box one away! Love foundation reviews and love that you are nearing 100,000 subscribers! How does it feel to be that loved 😘
I'm trying not to think about it Gina...I get so emotional when I think of all The Pampered Wolf Pack....I have a surprise up my sleeve for you all though xxx
Pampered Wolf oooh! Love surprises ❤️
Thank you Gemma for the brilliant reviews on so many new foundation releases. I am always looking for a 'holy grail' foundation and your top 3 are now ones I'm going to look for and trial, particually the Clarins as with combination mature skin I have high hope of this. Many thanks to your mum as well as her input is invaluable xx
Your number 1 is my number 1 too!!! It is so beautiful and all of my high end foundations don't come close to the finish and wear of the Nyx born to glow 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for putting so much effort into this video. I cannot believe your number one choice-I just returned the product line because it looked horrible on me! Just goes to show you “the same foundation will look different on everyone.” To quote a expert
Exactly Ann. I'm glad you live in a country that allows returns. We can't do that in the UK xxx
Fabulous tutorial Gemma... will put the NYX foundation on list, especially if your mum gives it the 👍🏻.. Totally love that you’ve included her experiences, gives us more mature women a platform in a world of youth beauty 💖
Thank you for telling us if the foundation is cruelty free.
Brilliant reviews and so honest! Some reviews you wonder if they are being paid, this is a very refreshing change.
Funny that you mentioned the contact lenses because I was going to tell you how beautiful & wide your eyes looked today and the eye makeup color was gorgeous with the eye color.
I’m in the US & still waiting for Walgreens to get the BORN TO GLOW. I’ll have to check Ulta but they are usually more expensive. I have heard it may be a dupe for the new Anastasia. Hum?? Cheers!!!
Carmen Wickizer Walmart, believe it or not sells Born to Glow. Free delivery with a minimum order. Since they sell everything that wasn’t a problem
What am excellent well researched video. Thank you! I was super disappointed with my Charlotte tilbury purchase... Just something a bit off about that foundation. Very strange! My favourite new release has got to be the kat von d portrait foundation. I've already used half a bottle. 😊
It's on my list of purchases Chloe xxx
I love clarins! The new everlasting foundation is not available in the US yet..
Darn, I was about to start trying to track it down. I've always loved Clarins and this foundation sounds really appealing to me.
Great video 😁 please make a tutorial. That eyeshadow is beautyfull. Never getting tired of foundation reviews 😬
I just picked up the NYX Born To Glow this month and adore it. My Mom has been searching for a new foundation for a long time and is a bit picky (love her❤️). She tried mine out and to my disbelief, liked it🥳. Now she needs to find the right shade. So yes, we both love it.
I’m really excited about the new RMS foundation and can’t wait to hear/see some reviews (hint hint, lol).
Walgreens recently got some of my shade of the CYO so I got a couple backups...again🤭🤫. The drugstore foundations are really impressive these days!
Thanks, girlie🍃🌸
Me too I bought it after one of Gemma’s recommendation videos and love it.
wow, you put ALOT of work into this, it was a wonderful in-depth review, really enjoyed hearing the pros & cons.
As always I love your honest reviews! Awesome!! I also love hearing how they work on your mum!!
I’ve been looking forward to this, thank you!
Girl, your eyes today are STUNNING!!! Please do a tutorial PLEASE!!
i just discovered your channel and i’ve been binging. but first i had to show my sister and husband my long lost british twin. i’m shook.
anyways. i was watching the anna edit the other day and she was saying that she heard to spray your face before applying the new rms because it’s so thick it blends better that way. well i have the kevyn aucoin balm and hadn’t quite figured out the perfect way to use it for my skin which is dry/mature 😩
so i sprayed with my too faced 3 in 1 hangover spray and blended the foundation balm over with my face damp.
🙌🏻💃🏼💁🏼♀️
PERFECTION!!
Terrific video once again Gemma! Thank you for your thoroughness.... as a mature lady I’ve struggled with foundations highlighting my pores and fine lines...
Also - can I just say that your eyes look AMAZING in today’s video! What are you wearing? :)
All the products worn are in the description box Lisa....but it's the Urban Decay Honey Palette xxx
Sorry Gem.... I clearly need my eyes tested... that or I’m doing five things at once ;)
Gemma you look beautiful today ! Just wondering if your going to review Tati Westbrook eyeshadow palette ? But just a thought ! I was going to buy Charlotte Tilbury airbrush , but after seeing a few reviews and no it put me off as it’s a matte finish but I love dewy looking foundation !
And enhance my skin not stick to fine lines ! I wonder which one your loved thinking maybe Narrs. , yes maybe wrong but that’s the fun !
Hi Elizabeth, yes I will be reviewing the Tati Palette. Can't wait. xxx
Thanks Hun for the info really helpful
Wow, Hi Cameron Diaz, oh it’s you Gemma! Looking gorgeous as usual. Thanks to you and your mum for testing out the foundations. My best one ever was the Clarins one for mature skin. I wish I could afford it now that I’m retired Xxx
Can’t agree with Chanel review, looks beautiful and last forever in my dryer skin
I knew that would be an unpopular decision...but I can only talk about mine and my mum's experience xxx
Your channel is amazing btw! Love from Australia xx
Hi Gemma was wondering if at sometime you’d be able to do a review on more affordable drug store foundations, some of them seem to be getting rave reviews and are being compared to Estée Lauder ie W7 foundations, also the Primark range has got good reports and Mua
Ooh yes the MUA foundation is beautiful
Oh what is the MUA one. I tried MUA blushes which are like the glossier cloud paints for £2.50 they were amazing . Budget beauty is upping its game.
@@denisefrost I love that MUA blush! Its such great quality
They're on my list Jenny. xxx
Pampered Wolf Thanks Gemma I’m just really interested to see if the more affordable foundations are worth buying, as I said some ie W7 have been given excellent reviews and are very reasonably priced! xx
So excited for this review! I have been waiting for your pick so I can buy a new foundation for the Winter. I will be keeping my eye on your channel on Social blade.... so close to 100K😱❤
Interesting! I might have to try the Nyx and the Clarins. Great video. Thanks! (And thank your mom!)
Just got around to this video and you'll probably never see this comment but that eyeshadow makes your eyes pop! Absolutely beautiful!
Your eye makeup is absolutely stunning Gemma, looks unbelievable on you 👌👌👌
Awesome review!!!
I am 38 with oily skin, I use the Clarins one in winters and Dior forever floral skincare one in summers.
Great picks!
I wasn't keen on the urban decay - Honey palette until I saw this video. I was like Wow I love your eyes the best I've seen them look. 🥰💗 ordering myself a b.day prezzy ! Thanks Gem 🤗💗👍
I think I’ll be looking into the Clarins foundation after this it sounds perfect for me. The prize for worst packaging should definitely go to Anastasia Beverly Hills, such an ugly bottle with that huge writing not at all luxurious. I know we don’t wear the packaging but it wouldn’t draw me to that foundation. So interesting Gemma, thank you . You looked stunning as usual. 😊
Hi Gemma I have just found this review, thank you x I have worn Estee Lauder perfectionist for ages, it's amazing on my skin ( I'm 60, good skin, but fine lines etc) I really can't find anything to replace it now as they don't make it anymore. Maybe your mum could do her top 5 foundations, she's great ( it must be a family thing x) I would really appreciate seeing her opinions , much love xx
love the foundation reviews thank you!
I tried the Nyx. I loved it but it made me breakout. So far so good with Shiseido. Thanks for the recommendations!
Great review on all the ‘new new’ foundations, it gets so confusing which ones are good and which ones to miss when there are so many - it nice to get an overall comparison when some are quite pricey. 🥰😀My newest purchases are n07 hydra luminous and the urban decay chosen after your great reviews and they both are AMAZING. Seems I’m outdated already!! 🤪🤣 thank you so much, almost at 100k 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💖💖💖💖💖 might need to try the NYX 😍😍
Definitely not outdated....theyre still my favourites xxx
I really enjoyed this video! I’d love if you could make it a bit of a mini series and maybe rank and rate the various foundations of certain brands that have many foundations - like which is the best No7 foundation, or the best Nyx foundation, etc.
Foundation is always the tricky one! To me for mature skin the best foundation by far is Koh Gen Do Aqua foundation👍it can be applied directly on skin without any prep or with a moisturizer of your choice, it doesn’t matter it will look the same-completely undetectable.
