THANK YOU for having actual 50+ skin!!! No filters, no Botox, just a beautiful, real woman. You even squinted in one of the shots to see how the foundation looked with wrinkles. I can definitely relate to you! You’re my new favorite MUA!
Hello! Please try applying the Laura Gellar foundation with a DRY sponge with a flat surface, like the Real Techniques sponge. I could not get any coverage with a brush, and was thinking of returning the foundation. Then I tried the dry sponge, and the coverage and texture is gorgeous! It still looks skin-like, but definitely gives medium coverage. I love the foundation now.
I also have this foundation and I get really good coverage with a brush! But it has to be a dense brush and I push/stipple it into the skin. It builds so easily with that technique! I plan on filming a video over the weekend using my Laura Geller baked foundation. :)
Thanks for your review! I recently started using the Infallible powder foundation. I use ELF illuminating putty primer. Then press the powder foundation into my skin with the sponge. Then buff with a powderfoundation filled brush. Finish it all with setting spray, and it looks beautiful. I’m 68
Thanks for doing a powder foundation video. I keep trying liquids, creams, tints, etc., & I always go back to powder despite my 62-year-old wrinkles & age spots!
Hi Teresa, I am 61 and I’ve been using hourglass stick foundation it’s like a lipstick but boy does it cover nicely, plus if you like less chemicals in your foundation, this is a clean makeup.
Tried the BM many years ago. I was much younger, found it messy and too much coverage for me, I have no hyperpigmentation, so I gave up on powder foundation. Now I am 65, haven’t used foundation on a daily basis for many years. Recently tried the Laura Geller, and I love it. I don’t want a lot of coverage at my age. Less is more IMO. Also purchased the lip liners and kajal eye pencils, they are very long lasting. They do not budge! So I’m sticking with LG. Great video! Thank you!
Bareminerals original is my fave!! My second favourite is the clinique almost powder foundation. Very quick to use, non messy as it's a compact. The finish is beautiful!
I love MAC, bare minerals original, and 2 kinds of CLINIQUE powder foundations, the perfecting and one other-- forget the name but will dig it out. BUT FIRST, THIS VIDEO!!!☺👍🏼
Great Episode. I Am 53 And Have Never Liked Cream Foundation. I've Tried Both Lancome And Estee Lauder Powder Foundations And Have Repurchased Them Multiple Times. Nice To Know Current Trends.
I don’t know if you’ve tried it but the Fenty Pro Filter powder foundation is excellent. I am 55 with dry to normal skin and it is so smooth and just melts into the skin. The Tarte Amazon clay gem powder is also really nice. It gives a bit of luminosity that is beautiful.
Thank you for this video and for showing both drugstore and higher end options! I'm only 31 but I want to learn from women who have been using makeup longer than me. I especially want to get into habits that won't look aging later. Good to know that prep is more important with powder but skin care is not a bad thing and I'm willing to male powder work. Powder gives a porcelain look, is easier than liquid, and people who use liquid tend to top it with powder anyways. Why not skip the liquid lol! Thanks!!
I was holding my breath waiting for your review of Laura Geller! I almost never wore makeup until I found Laura Geller! Finally, something I can wear every day. It is also easy for me because my previous makeup adventures end up with me looking like a clown! LOL
I worked on one of the adverts for Wunder 2. I was surprised how good it was too, especially for mature skins. Glad that I found you! Enjoyed watching xx
BM was the first powder foundation I ever used, and I loved it! I was in my early 20s, living back home in humid Hawaii. I loved it so much that I would bring the translucent powder to work and touch it once daily. My coworkers adored it on me, and I received compliments every day. I didn't know I had “shiny” skin until BM, lol. I even recommended BM to three of my coworkers. None of us used heavy makeup-just mascara and lipstick-so using BM significantly improved our everyday makeup routine.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention Mac !!! I’ve worn Mac studio fix powder foundation for over 20 years. I’m a retired high school teacher and even though it was just a bit drying - it had great coverage with the Morphe 439 brush! It was so easy to blend and had great coverage- just be sure to use a hydrating moisturizer and primer!
If I can make a request, when you do any foundation video, could you do some footage with natural light so we can see what it looks like in a "normal" natural setting? It's hard to determine if we would like it or see fit if you're in beauty lighting set up versus what it looks like in the sun outside or natural inside a room/house/etc. Also, some beauty gurus do a flash photo pic with their cell phone to see what it would like like with a flash. Thanks and keep up the great work!!
At 62 I realized that the best look for me is a dewy natural no powder look, which really surprised me. I just use a lightweight foundation over my coconut oil base and dont use powder at all.
You had me falling in love with “Balance and Brighten” all over again with your last video. Now, I’m gonna go dig out my Bare Minerals, too. Funny, how we get so wrapped up in new products that we forget about the mainstays. (I’m not sure about that foundation brush, though.) Great video! I think I’m going to look for that one drugstore brand - Infallible - you mentioned.
I love the Mac Studio Fix powder foundation if you want a bit more coverage. I have an oily T-zone and dry cheeks, and it's the only thing that stays put and looks good on both my oily and dry areas (as long as I prep my skin well).
Thank you! I'm a big fan of Cent pur cent's loose mineral foundation. Looks very natural and gives you a light glow. You can build it up with multiple layers for More Coverage. I am 60 and this foundation makes my skin look young and fresh. Don't settle into the wrinkles and you won't feel it at all. I do use a kabuki bruch to apply this loose powder. Take the color of your own skin tone. Especially if you have fine lines. Definitely don't go darker!I have used many foundations but this one is my favorite.
I love this lady because she is real her face is real looking and not pumped full of Botox So I feel I can trust her unlike the others Thank your real ness with natural beautiful skin
A great video. Although I can not wear powder foundation anymore. It is extremely dry & I saturate my skin with moisturizer & other products. It is so hard to find even a good liquid or any foundation at that. But ty for your tips. They really do help.❤️
Thanks for the demo! Unfortunately powder foundation is not for me. The fact that powder foundation is naturally dry feels to me an unnatural choice for mature skin. Plus the need to buff thoroughly to achieve a consistent finish is overly rough on our delicate skin. I still prefer cream or liquid foundations lightly finished with a loose powder but never place powder under my eyes.
I use the Nude by Nature powder foundation and it is wonderful on my mature skin. It covers pores and matifies fine lines and wrinkles and stays all day. This product was recommended by Wayne Goss the make up artist and it really is the best !!
Thank you for the detailed review. I like BM on you. I'm wearing Lily Lolo powder foundation. I use the physicians formula toner/setting spray on top. The finish is almost skin like.
You're beautiful and so lucky you don't have hypersensitive (rosacea) skin like I do. The constant buffing would destroy my skin! I have luck gently stippling on powder foundation with the sigma flat top brush. Great video!
I gave myself a chemical peel (a 13% TCA peel) and about 9 days later, I developed a 5 o'clock shadow and it has never gone away. I later learned due to my Asian background and skin type, chemical peels usually can result in melasma and PIH. Should have researched more BEFORE I did peel (actually, I knew it was a possibility, I just thought because my skin tone was light/medium, that I wasn't in that "darker skin" category. )
Thank you so much for reviewing such a wide range of products! You have saved me a ton of time and money by going over the pros and cons of each one, so of course I subscribed!!
I just purchased the elf camo powder foundation everybody’s talking about… The first time I used it I did not like it. I could see flakes of the powder on my face. It was if I took all of the fall out from the pan and dumped it on my face.. The second time I did a lot more buffing and it was better except on my dry patches… Third time I buffed buffed buffed , Used a setting spray and then rolled my sponge up and down my face pressing in the setting powder and product..👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 This 👆 sounds like time consuming but it wasn’t at all. So fast, so easy, not messy, nice full coverage all day long👏👏👏👏
Yes, you absolutely look just wonderful in the mineral powder foudation --- your skin = A++.!! I have many shades also and use them as bronzer and other wsys of giving my face more dimension. I never use only one single shade.. though I go easy with it. Not a stage makeup look by any means. Thank you, Lisa, for some new ideas!
Try neutrogena mineral Powder. It’s natural, beautiful and doesn’t make pores, lines stand out. I’ve tried most of the ones you did too and didn’t like them but the neutrogena is perfect texture with great satin finish.
Very easy to follow video. You explain things so well. Your make up looks so natural and as an over 50 person I can follow your suggestions and tips easily. Thank you !
Most powder foundations don’t do well on me but I have found one I love. It’s the Wander Beauty powder foundation. It can go light to full coverage. I use the Wunder 2 kabuki brush to give a light to medium coverage and then follow up with the Beauty Blender powder pocket puff (using the velour side) to smooth things out and to give more coverage in certain areas. I don’t find this powder to be matte but more of a natural finish. It really holds up during the day.
You have to try the It Cosmetics Celebration powder foundation😍It applies full coverage and has really good skin nourishing ingredients and leaves my 52 yr old skin looking flawless …
Love LG, great over something like BM Skin Rescue or even on its own, so natural looking. I recently pulled out my BM original loose powder and applied as the guru (ShelbeyWilson ) instructs, a little and buff, a little and buff, a little more and buff and I tell you it was beautiful on the skin. Lasts so well all day. I agree it does take longer to apply and it’s worth it for the look if you’re going for something more polished that day. I do dermaplane myself with scalpel and no. 10 round end blades. 55yo.
The clinique almost powder and super powder are very good. The super powder double face power is good especially if you do have dry skin the almost powder has some minerals so has spf. You don't have to use a primer if you don't want too either.
I have been wearing the original bare Minerals for about 20 years. It wasn't until this past year that I started using liquid foundation again after being a complete dedicated bare Minerals customer. I still love so many of their products but ever since Leslie Blodgett sold the company some 9 years ago to Shiseido that it has done away with some of their staple products. My all time favorite blush was the bare Minerals all over face powder in the color TRUE and it is gone. I have still till this day never found a color that was that perfect. I am enjoying trying new makeup as my skin has changed since aging. So far my favorite liquid foundations are the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better, and the Estee Lauder Hydra Futurist Foundation. I still love the Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer for the summer months and I mix it with my tinted Australian Gold SPF 50 sunscreen during the day. I am a new subscriber and I am truly enjoying your videos.
I used Bare Minerals years ago. I loved it until I really sweated with it on my face. It was really stingy. I finally had to stop using it. I wonder if other people had similar reactions? I do absolutely love Laura Gellar now. Won’t use anything bit her stuff! Just subscribed, but know I’ll love this channel! Well done.
Oh no!!! I haven’t had that issue, but I pretty much switch up my foundation so much because I’m testing something new all the time. I did have a bad reaction to a Clinique blush so I know there are some ingredients that can irritate your skin in some of the powders that are supposed to be better for sensitive skin! Maybe it was because you have to buff I’m so much! But yes, the Laura Geller is amazing!
Yes it’s the Bismuth Oxychloride in the original bare minerals formula that makes my skin super itchy .. this is what makes the original mineral foundation have it’s sheen on the skin .. The matte version is awesome and does not contain the bismuth oxychloride give it a try ..
Gosh, I’m so bad at listing what makeup I’m wearing and I can’t tell which shadow it is! I was wearing a lot of elf and wet and wild last summer so I would guess it was one of those, if I had to guess it was from the wet and wild Nude Awakening palette and was the rose pink shimmer on lids and darker brown as accent color on outer third and liner.
You are so beautiful😍. I hope I look like you when Im over 50. Currently Im loving the Stayfast powder by Yardley as well as MAC. Im 39 so the aging in my skin is starting to show. I will be listing and trying all these out since I know my skin needs changes every 3 to 4years.
I am a little younger than your target audience, 43, I recently discovered LG baked foundation and love it. It took two tries to get the right color, but I'm good now. I'd love some tips on not having the foundation settle in my lines, around my eyes and on my forehead. I still have oily skin and use a light moisturizer for day (heavier at night), I started using the LG Spackle Primer under the foundation and it keeps the make-up from settling in the creases for a few hours, but by late afternoon, the makeup has "melted" or settled into my lines- which just makes me look older! It is way worse with liquid foundations which is why I switched to powder...any tips would be appreciated. THNX
Hmmmm, it does sound like you need a mattifying primer, but the Spackle is supposed to be one of the best. Have you tried a setting spray on top, like Urban Decay All Nighter or Morphe has a nice one too?
Hi Lisa, have you tried any of the It Cosmetics powder foundations? I am loving the Illuminating powder foundation, goes on like butter and looks great all day. Thanks for the reviews. Cathy xo
I love B&B by Laura Geller, I feel like she is finally getting her moment here in YT, I've used it for years and no one really talked about her. Please try Nude by Nature Monique I promise you you will not be disappointed, it's a mineral foundation, reasonably priced loved by Wayne Goss too. It's awesome. Xx ps fairly new 38 yr old British subscriber here and I think your very pretty and I'm enjoying your channel 🙏❤️
I used to use Bare Minerals before the company was sold but I had to stop using it because it made my face itch. They also have so many more shades now than they used to when it was only sold on QVC.
I’m guessing that as they’re called powder foundation that they’re designed so you can wear them without having to use a liquid foundation? I’m glad you mentioned powder sticking to hairs as I’ve found that happens when I’ve used a liquid foundation with a powder over the top. I’m in Australia & have recently found a mineral powder foundation by Vani-T that I love the look & feel of even though I find it messy to apply & have to do before I put on the top I’m going to wear. I find it doesn’t cover the redness & age spots on my face though so in that case is it best to use colour correction, concealer or a liquid foundation underneath (or combination) when I want those covered more?
Yes they are designed to be worn without liquid underneath, but they are typically light or light medium coverage. If you need more, they do work well over a liquid. Some, lie the Bare Minerals, are designed to “liquify” as you massage into skin with brush, and it does provide more coverage that is as long lasting as a liquid foundation!
Forgive me if this has been asked as I tried to scan the comments. How does the Laura Geller powder foundation compare to the Mac Studio Fix powder foundation? I have been wearing Studio Fix for years but am interested in trying Laura Geller. Thank you!!
It’s lighter coverage and less powdery looking. More skin like. I was just thinking about my Laura Geller last night and how I need to pull it out upcoming trip. If you have a lot of discoloration, it may or may not be enough coverage without concealer. If you’re just trying to even your skin tone for flawless finish, it’s my favorite still,
I had a weird hair problem on my latest video too LOL! Love keeping it real! You look beautiful and so happy your channel is growing. My skin is misbehaving at the moment.. I love this information X
Thank you Michelle. Funny I was just taking about you while visiting family in SC yesterday. They were waking about these grapes they got from Aldo, and I was like “we have Aldi in the states? I watch a TH-cam channel and they always find the best stuff at Aldi’s and I had never heard of them!!” I guess they are making their way across the ocean!
Wow! We’re the same shade in the Laura Geller foundation! Sand! And I’m a lot darker than you lol! I’ve tried both the Tan and Deep and they were both too dark and cool toned for me. That’s crazy! Im more on the neutral to warm side. Sand has been the closest match to me and I love it! I had to buy that one in the Balance and Glow formula. Sand hasn’t been available in the Brighten side. So now I just use Deep as my contour. 😁😁
I had to find Sand at Walmart, My face is lighter and darker weekly because I keep going in and out of the sun. Even with sunscreen I tan exceptionally easy!!
0ver 60 and changed Mac studio fix powder to MF Facefinity powder foundation. The facefinity gives enough coverage and is not dry and cakey which many inckuding the Mac can be
Thank you for a great video. I try the L’Oreal infallible foundation powder. I tried the three lightest shade and could not get a good match for my skin. So frustrating. I did not like the way it looked on my skin. I have combination skin.
I am finding as I’m ageing I’m getting a lot of textured spots on my skin. I can’t wear liquid foundation due to allergies. Any advice on how to deal with this? I usually use Mac studio fix powder or BM original.
Powder foundations are great for covering texture! The 2 you are using are some of the best! If they work for you, you don’t need to change unless you just want to experiment with different brands. There are so many now! But if they’re not providing all the coverage you need you could also layer. Are you allergic to cream based foundations too? You could try cream or a stick foundation and dust with the powder foundation to hide texture more but I think you are already using the best option for textured skin! To try and get rid of them. Are you using exfoliators in your skin care? Like a glycolic acid or tretinoin?
lancome duel foundation was my one of first luxury purchases. I don't have other products to compare with so I think lancome foundation was great. sad they never bother to upgrade their formula over the years.
@@LisaMonique I do. I haven’t really used it as a foundation. I have used it as a finishing powder with a lighter coverage liquid CC cream and it has a pretty finish. I want to try the loose powder. It looked very pretty on you.
Binge watching your videos today ☺️ Yes, same here, my very first powder foundation was Estée Lauder stay in place I think it was called. Dark blue package with the big square gold logo on it 😀
I actually just moisturize my skin. It’s still lasted all day. I was really impressed, but you do have to buff it in really good and don’t put it on too heavy! Any more than two coats I would start to get a strange sheen.
Hello Ms Lisa. Have you tried the Estee Lauder Double Wear Matte Powder Foundation? Since you love the Estee Lauder Double Wear Liquid Foundation why not try the Double Wear Matte Powder Foundation.
I have not, typically I like usually prefer a natural finish over matte, but in this case it really the DW just looked so much better! Thanks for the suggestion, I may have to go try a sample!
No tearing, lol. I do rub my face hard, but the skins is still there and actually have a less wrinkles and baggy skin than most people my age even with my “skin abuse“
I got just this week Laura geller backed .. omg it is awful makes ur pores look like creators leaves ur skin textures Looking .. what a waste of money this is crap I have great skin , thought 💭hmm everyone’s raving about it but most likely paid off to lie it sucks I hate it it’s like a joke I feel the joke is on anyone wasting there money 💰
I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. I purchased the product myself and love it, but no product works for everyone’s skin. (creators have to state if they are paid or receive product for free in exchange for review) The beautiful thing is you can return it! I returned my first purchase from their website and bought again at Walmart and ordered wrong shade again, returned, and purchased a third time to get right shade! I return makeup that doesn’t work for me all the time, it’s too expensive to keep what you don’t like🌸
@@LisaMonique but Lisa I think all of those powder foundations look awful on u .. it’s just nit a pretty look.. ages you .. just being real and honest I got mine from Allie G suggestion and she’s younger but I know to each it’s own .. I don’t think it’s flattering at all wasted my $$ but this is not easy trying to not spend your lively hood on make up
Omg what’s wrong with people like you? Why would you intentionally say something to someone that you know would be hurtful to them? Do you feel good about yourself for hurting another?
@@christybaird4077 I do Chris I really do I’m tired of purchasing expensive high end products because you trusted the rave reviews like there the holy Gail and they 100% suck .. i am NOT the only one who feels this way about this product .. and if I can make other people aware that the product it’s not I repeat it’s NOT EVERYones Favorito.. then be it but I’m not Chris I read reviews on line for all products of a persons true review before buying same as got a hotel , restaurant WHY because we have that right r u dumb or just that stupid ?? !! Did you ever watch the Cinderella story ?? With Hillary duff ? What did her step mom tell her as she sat up from that tanning bed with those tanning glasses on ?? ……….Your not very bright ..what’s wrong with people like YOU??
great video, i had been on a similar search as well...right now im looking for a good med coverage mineral foundation ill have to try some of these! from my years of trial and error with powder foundations ( i need a med to full coverage foundation as well) i really enjoyed the mac cosmetics powder its a no fuss med to full cover pressed powder and i think they have made a mineral one now i have been meaning to try. Definitely love the loreal infalliable powder thats another go to for me but one that i have been really interested in and i actually just put an order in for it ( i think u can only order it online but not sure) is the Jane Iredale... seems like most mature skin women cant stop raving about this foundation! they have a few foundations but the pressed powder seems to be the more popular one. very excited to try that one out just thought id throw in a possible option for you to try out if u were interested . thanks again for the great content

Hi I'm curious how you made the hyperpigmentation worse, your skin looks great by the way
I gave myself a chemical peel (a 13% TCA peel) and about 9 days later, I developed a 5 o'clock shadow and it has never gone away. I later learned due to my Asian background and skin type, chemical peels usually can result in melasma and PIH. Should have researched more BEFORE I did peel (actually, I knew it was a possibility, I just thought because my skin tone was light/medium, that I wasn't in that "darker skin" category. )
Thank you so much for reviewing such a wide range of products! You have saved me a ton of time and money by going over the pros and cons of each one, so of course I subscribed!!
I'm so glad Tish!!! 💕💕💕
I just purchased the elf camo powder foundation everybody’s talking about…
The first time I used it I did not like it. I could see flakes of the powder on my face. It was if I took all of the fall out from the pan and dumped it on my face..
The second time I did a lot more buffing and it was better except on my dry patches…
Third time I buffed buffed buffed , Used a setting spray and then rolled my sponge up and down my face pressing in the setting powder and product..👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This 👆 sounds like time consuming but it wasn’t at all. So fast, so easy, not messy, nice full coverage all day long👏👏👏👏
Yes, you absolutely look just wonderful in the mineral powder foudation --- your skin = A++.!!
I have many shades also and use them as bronzer and other wsys of giving my face more dimension. I never use only one single shade.. though I go easy with it. Not a stage makeup look by any means. Thank you, Lisa, for some new ideas!
I love my powders too! What are your favorite brands? 💕🌸💕💕
Try neutrogena mineral
Powder. It’s natural, beautiful and doesn’t make pores, lines stand out. I’ve tried most of the ones you did too and didn’t like them but the neutrogena is perfect texture with great satin finish.
Very easy to follow video. You explain things so well.
Your make up looks so natural and as an over 50 person I can follow your suggestions and tips easily. Thank you !
That Shiseido brush is amazing with powders! Thank you!!
Hey gorgeous! Awesome round up and excellent tips! Hope you are having a wonderful vacation! ❤️
Most powder foundations don’t do well on me but I have found one I love. It’s the Wander Beauty powder foundation. It can go light to full coverage. I use the Wunder 2 kabuki brush to give a light to medium coverage and then follow up with the Beauty Blender powder pocket puff (using the velour side) to smooth things out and to give more coverage in certain areas. I don’t find this powder to be matte but more of a natural finish. It really holds up during the day.
I have that too! I love it!!
@@LisaMonique Wander beauty shade?
You have to try the It Cosmetics Celebration powder foundation😍It applies full coverage and has really good skin nourishing ingredients and leaves my 52 yr old skin looking flawless …
Thanks for the tip! I'll look for it next time I'm at Ulta!
You are gorgeous. Stumbled into this video looking for powder foundation because I hate the way liquid feels going on and being on.
Love LG, great over something like BM Skin Rescue or even on its own, so natural looking. I recently pulled out my BM original loose powder and applied as the guru (ShelbeyWilson ) instructs, a little and buff, a little and buff, a little more and buff and I tell you it was beautiful on the skin. Lasts so well all day. I agree it does take longer to apply and it’s worth it for the look if you’re going for something more polished that day. I do dermaplane myself with scalpel and no. 10 round end blades. 55yo.
I tried using because of Shelby, I love her channel 💕💕💕💕
Thank you! Lancome powder foundation was my go to in my 20's as well. 🦋👩🦰
Great video! Thank you for sharing all the different powder foundations. I love the Laura Geller products. I have for several years.
Hello Debby, how are you doing y
I use the Laura Geller, Baked Balanced and Brighten. We live in a hot, humid climate and this foundation feels weightless. Love it!
I love BM original foundation on my face. No concealer necessary and then LG B& B foundation on my eye area as a setting powder.
The clinique almost powder and super powder are very good. The super powder double face power is good especially if you do have dry skin the almost powder has some minerals so has spf. You don't have to use a primer if you don't want too either.
So beautiful! Thank you so much! You are truly my new favorite find! So thorough! Lots of love to you!
I have been wearing the original bare Minerals for about 20 years. It wasn't until this past year that I started using liquid foundation again after being a complete dedicated bare Minerals customer. I still love so many of their products but ever since Leslie Blodgett sold the company some 9 years ago to Shiseido that it has done away with some of their staple products. My all time favorite blush was the bare Minerals all over face powder in the color TRUE and it is gone. I have still till this day never found a color that was that perfect. I am enjoying trying new makeup as my skin has changed since aging. So far my favorite liquid foundations are the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better, and the Estee Lauder Hydra Futurist Foundation. I still love the Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer for the summer months and I mix it with my tinted Australian Gold SPF 50 sunscreen during the day. I am a new subscriber and I am truly enjoying your videos.
I like the Australian Gold Sunscreen too! Goes on good under makeup! 🍂🍁🍁
I used Bare Minerals years ago. I loved it until I really sweated with it on my face. It was really stingy. I finally had to stop using it. I wonder if other people had similar reactions? I do absolutely love Laura Gellar now. Won’t use anything bit her stuff! Just subscribed, but know I’ll love this channel! Well done.
Oh no!!! I haven’t had that issue, but I pretty much switch up my foundation so much because I’m testing something new all the time. I did have a bad reaction to a Clinique blush so I know there are some ingredients that can irritate your skin in some of the powders that are supposed to be better for sensitive skin! Maybe it was because you have to buff I’m so much! But yes, the Laura Geller is amazing!
Yes it’s the Bismuth Oxychloride in the original bare minerals formula that makes my skin super itchy .. this is what makes the original mineral foundation have it’s sheen on the skin .. The matte version is awesome and does not contain the bismuth oxychloride give it a try ..
@@Soapartisan875 I did always like their blush colors. Thx!
I love your eyeshadow in this, donyou have a video or link to show application and what your using, please?
Gosh, I’m so bad at listing what makeup I’m wearing and I can’t tell which shadow it is! I was wearing a lot of elf and wet and wild last summer so I would guess it was one of those, if I had to guess it was from the wet and wild Nude Awakening palette and was the rose pink shimmer on lids and darker brown as accent color on outer third and liner.
I love the Jane Iredale pressed powder. I like the loose one too but for some reason it feels different on my face.
What is the name of the moisturizer that was the blue and white tube that she flashed up quickly, but didn't name.. it seems a popular brand
Embriolysse Lait Crème Concentrate. My favorite for over 5 years!!!
Omgosh, I'm a powder foundation girl at heart!!Excited to watch this now!!!🤗❣
Luv your make up videos,,, Thanks for sharing!
You are so beautiful😍. I hope I look like you when Im over 50. Currently Im loving the Stayfast powder by Yardley as well as MAC. Im 39 so the aging in my skin is starting to show. I will be listing and trying all these out since I know my skin needs changes every 3 to 4years.
I am a little younger than your target audience, 43, I recently discovered LG baked foundation and love it. It took two tries to get the right color, but I'm good now. I'd love some tips on not having the foundation settle in my lines, around my eyes and on my forehead. I still have oily skin and use a light moisturizer for day (heavier at night), I started using the LG Spackle Primer under the foundation and it keeps the make-up from settling in the creases for a few hours, but by late afternoon, the makeup has "melted" or settled into my lines- which just makes me look older! It is way worse with liquid foundations which is why I switched to powder...any tips would be appreciated. THNX
Hmmmm, it does sound like you need a mattifying primer, but the Spackle is supposed to be one of the best. Have you tried a setting spray on top, like Urban Decay All Nighter or Morphe has a nice one too?
Hi Lisa, have you tried any of the It Cosmetics powder foundations? I am loving the Illuminating powder foundation, goes on like butter and looks great all day. Thanks for the reviews. Cathy xo
I have not!!! Thanks for the suggestion!
I use B M and L G much prefer powder foundation specially in summer.x
Hello Linda, how are you doing today
Have you ever tried Jane Iredale powder fundation?
I haven not! I looked for it but can’t find it locally.
I love B&B by Laura Geller, I feel like she is finally getting her moment here in YT, I've used it for years and no one really talked about her. Please try Nude by Nature Monique I promise you you will not be disappointed, it's a mineral foundation, reasonably priced loved by Wayne Goss too. It's awesome. Xx ps fairly new 38 yr old British subscriber here and I think your very pretty and I'm enjoying your channel 🙏❤️
You should try the jane iredale loose for full coverage powder, it can cover tatoos
I used to use Bare Minerals before the company was sold but I had to stop using it because it made my face itch. They also have so many more shades now than they used to when it was only sold on QVC.
Thank you for all the tips!
Hello Nikki, how are you doing
I’m guessing that as they’re called powder foundation that they’re designed so you can wear them without having to use a liquid foundation? I’m glad you mentioned powder sticking to hairs as I’ve found that happens when I’ve used a liquid foundation with a powder over the top. I’m in Australia & have recently found a mineral powder foundation by Vani-T that I love the look & feel of even though I find it messy to apply & have to do before I put on the top I’m going to wear. I find it doesn’t cover the redness & age spots on my face though so in that case is it best to use colour correction, concealer or a liquid foundation underneath (or combination) when I want those covered more?
Yes they are designed to be worn without liquid underneath, but they are typically light or light medium coverage. If you need more, they do work well over a liquid. Some, lie the Bare Minerals, are designed to “liquify” as you massage into skin with brush, and it does provide more coverage that is as long lasting as a liquid foundation!
Omg I love the Laura Geller Balance n Brighten! Thanks for having that one in the video 🎉
Forgive me if this has been asked as I tried to scan the comments. How does the Laura Geller powder foundation compare to the Mac Studio Fix powder foundation? I have been wearing Studio Fix for years but am interested in trying Laura Geller. Thank you!!
It’s lighter coverage and less powdery looking. More skin like. I was just thinking about my Laura Geller last night and how I need to pull it out upcoming trip. If you have a lot of discoloration, it may or may not be enough coverage without concealer. If you’re just trying to even your skin tone for flawless finish, it’s my favorite still,
@@LisaMonique Thank you for replying!! Enjoy your trip!
I had a weird hair problem on my latest video too LOL! Love keeping it real! You look beautiful and so happy your channel is growing. My skin is misbehaving at the moment.. I love this information X
Thank you Michelle. Funny I was just taking about you while visiting family in SC yesterday. They were waking about these grapes they got from Aldo, and I was like “we have Aldi in the states? I watch a TH-cam channel and they always find the best stuff at Aldi’s and I had never heard of them!!” I guess they are making their way across the ocean!
Wonderful and helpful tips, thank you!
Hello Christine, how are you doing
Wow! We’re the same shade in the Laura Geller foundation! Sand! And I’m a lot darker than you lol! I’ve tried both the Tan and Deep and they were both too dark and cool toned for me. That’s crazy! Im more on the neutral to warm side. Sand has been the closest match to me and I love it! I had to buy that one in the Balance and Glow formula. Sand hasn’t been available in the Brighten side. So now I just use Deep as my contour. 😁😁
I had to find Sand at Walmart, My face is lighter and darker weekly because I keep going in and out of the sun. Even with sunscreen I tan exceptionally easy!!
Hehe I do too! This Apache skin soaks up all the sun rays even though I bathe in SPF. 🤣
Great advice thanks
Yay! I know that you love the Shiseido brush so much, and you actually gave me that brush for Christmas! It is fantastic! ❤🥰❤
Hello beautiful, how are you doing
0ver 60 and changed Mac studio fix powder to MF Facefinity powder foundation. The facefinity gives enough coverage and is not dry and cakey which many inckuding the Mac can be
Great video - open honest transparent
Thank you for a great video. I try the L’Oreal infallible foundation powder. I tried the three lightest shade and could not get a good match for my skin. So frustrating. I did not like the way it looked on my skin. I have combination skin.
Yes, it's sometimes hard to match drugstore brands because they have more limited shade range, I hope you kept your receipt and returned them!!
Pur powder is nice as well
I am finding as I’m ageing I’m getting a lot of textured spots on my skin. I can’t wear liquid foundation due to allergies. Any advice on how to deal with this? I usually use Mac studio fix powder or BM original.
Powder foundations are great for covering texture! The 2 you are using are some of the best! If they work for you, you don’t need to change unless you just want to experiment with different brands. There are so many now! But if they’re not providing all the coverage you need you could also layer. Are you allergic to cream based foundations too? You could try cream or a stick foundation and dust with the powder foundation to hide texture more but I think you are already using the best option for textured skin! To try and get rid of them. Are you using exfoliators in your skin care? Like a glycolic acid or tretinoin?
Just clicked on your video, you are beautiful!
lancome duel foundation was my one of first luxury purchases. I don't have other products to compare with so I think lancome foundation was great. sad they never bother to upgrade their formula over the years.
Just curious if you’ve tried the Bare Minerals foundation in the compact form and would love to know your opinion.
I have not, I dimly have the powder and liquid. Do you have it?
@@LisaMonique I do. I haven’t really used it as a foundation. I have used it as a finishing powder with a lighter coverage liquid CC cream and it has a pretty finish.
I want to try the loose powder. It looked very pretty on you.
I use the Lancôme for contouring. It seems to work well and easy to blend. What a great video Lisa. Thank you!
Hello Robbie, how are you doing
Binge watching your videos today ☺️ Yes, same here, my very first powder foundation was Estée Lauder stay in place I think it was called. Dark blue package with the big square gold logo on it 😀
My favorite and I’ve tried many. Shade choices are too good to pass up. Since I’m neutral, even Mac Studio Fix doesn’t give me the right shade.
That Lancome was IT back in the day! lol
I know, I remember when Isabella Rosallini was the spokesmodel. She is so stunning!
What primer do you find works the best with bareminerals?
I actually just moisturize my skin. It’s still lasted all day. I was really impressed, but you do have to buff it in really good and don’t put it on too heavy! Any more than two coats I would start to get a strange sheen.
Hey Lisa over here showing some support
Awesome thanks!
Hello Ms Lisa. Have you tried the Estee Lauder Double Wear Matte Powder Foundation? Since you love the Estee Lauder Double Wear Liquid Foundation why not try the Double Wear Matte Powder Foundation.
I have not, typically I like usually prefer a natural finish over matte, but in this case it really the DW just looked so much better! Thanks for the suggestion, I may have to go try a sample!
Yahaaaa first!!! 💛☀️💕💛☀️💕
Thank you for always watching 💕💕💕😉
@@LisaMonique Woops I wasn’t first lol! And happy to be here, very nice review, I’ve been eyeing the bare minerals & so glad you covered this one 😊.
Can not buy Laura Geller foundation in Australia. Bugger. Everywhere is sold out or not stocked.
Oh that's a bummer!! 🌸
Yay to bare minerals!!!!!!
Micellar water will clean the makeup off your counters
Eek, that $49 polishing brush is now $71. Gross. Pass.
😳
Speak the brand of itemsSLOWLY please. You rush through the brand & I can't catch the name. Every time
Everything should be listed down in the description box!
I'm sorry, but that brush moved your skin around more than the foundation!
That brush was trying to murder your face!
😂😂😂
I feel like the brush you are using is tearing at your skin and not helping give you good coverage. I just cringe as you rub around your face.
No tearing, lol. I do rub my face hard, but the skins is still there and actually have a less wrinkles and baggy skin than most people my age even with my “skin abuse“
You talk too much!!!
These type of comments always crack me up. Simple solution: Don't watch 😂😂😂.
FYI this video was disgustingly too long
You over explained everything which was a huge turn off!
Stop telling us every little detail!
🙄🙄🙄
Why did you watch it if you felt it was too long? People want her to explain like she does, if you don’t go elsewhere.
@@christybaird4077 ikr.... If I don't like a video I just click out and find another one
I got just this week Laura geller backed .. omg it is awful makes ur pores look like creators leaves ur skin textures Looking .. what a waste of money this is crap I have great skin , thought 💭hmm everyone’s raving about it but most likely paid off to lie it sucks I hate it it’s like a joke I feel the joke is on anyone wasting there money 💰
I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. I purchased the product myself and love it, but no product works for everyone’s skin. (creators have to state if they are paid or receive product for free in exchange for review) The beautiful thing is you can return it! I returned my first purchase from their website and bought again at Walmart and ordered wrong shade again, returned, and purchased a third time to get right shade! I return makeup that doesn’t work for me all the time, it’s too expensive to keep what you don’t like🌸
@@LisaMonique but Lisa I think all of those powder foundations look awful on u .. it’s just nit a pretty look.. ages you .. just being real and honest I got mine from Allie G suggestion and she’s younger but I know to each it’s own .. I don’t think it’s flattering at all wasted my $$ but this is not easy trying to not spend your lively hood on make up
Omg what’s wrong with people like you? Why would you intentionally say something to someone that you know would be hurtful to them? Do you feel good about yourself for hurting another?
@@christybaird4077 I do Chris I really do I’m tired of purchasing expensive high end products because you trusted the rave reviews like there the holy Gail and they 100% suck .. i am NOT the only one who feels this way about this product .. and if I can make other people aware that the product it’s not I repeat it’s NOT EVERYones Favorito.. then be it but I’m not Chris I read reviews on line for all products of a persons true review before buying same as got a hotel , restaurant WHY because we have that right r u dumb or just that stupid ?? !!
Did you ever watch the Cinderella story ?? With Hillary duff ? What did her step mom tell her as she sat up from that tanning bed with those tanning glasses on ?? ……….Your not very bright ..what’s wrong with people like YOU??
great video, i had been on a similar search as well...right now im looking for a good med coverage mineral foundation ill have to try some of these! from my years of trial and error with powder foundations ( i need a med to full coverage foundation as well) i really enjoyed the mac cosmetics powder its a no fuss med to full cover pressed powder and i think they have made a mineral one now i have been meaning to try. Definitely love the loreal infalliable powder thats another go to for me but one that i have been really interested in and i actually just put an order in for it ( i think u can only order it online but not sure) is the Jane Iredale... seems like most mature skin women cant stop raving about this foundation! they have a few foundations but the pressed powder seems to be the more popular one. very excited to try that one out just thought id throw in a possible option for you to try out if u were interested . thanks again for the great content
