I subscribe to a lot of beauty ‘tubers (I’m sure we all do here) and enjoy their content, however, Lexi strikes me as the most trustworthy of the bunch! Some of the channels with really big subscriber numbers are doing a lot of sponsored content that is transparently disingenuous despite their best efforts-no shame to them, it’s a business model, after all, but I really feel like Lexi tells it like it is no matter what, which I love. Lexi, you are my TH-cam makeup best “friend”!--Oh, and about the foundations, the CDP Radiant Matte is the best formula I own for my oily skin with large pores, CDP for the win!
The best video of 2022 so far ! Thank you Lexi it s very helpful. I m gonna pick the KGD aqua next. Sisley are really good but the colors difficult to choose. I have to go in store… have a good day
@@bellabond3015 Thank you ! Sometimes it s not easy to watch thé color in the bottle and in France you cannot return an opened product … have a good day !
Lexi, such a helpful video. I knew you liked the CdP mix of Radiants, but interesting to know you mix the KGD foundations. I certainly will try this as well. Thank you for all of your hard work!
Thank you for such a thorough review! I love that you put them in alpha order, label them, provide your color (my coloring is similar to yours), tried them all on, showed the oxidation of colors, ranked them as to your preferences, and provided such a deep dive on the pricing. This is the kind of review that is super helpful for those of us who splurge ever so often. (reminds me of a Consumer Report type of approach to analyzing foundations. I wonder, have you tried any of the Tom Ford foundations? I'm curious about the stick foundation. Also, have you ever used a concealer as a foundation? I've successfully used the Thrive foundation, great for travel (ease of packing). And as per concealers, I find the color-correcting tubes (e.g., from Lancome) that are brightly colored, I have the green and yellow ones, a little fiddly, tricky, and time-consuming. Of late, they have drifted to the bottom of my concealers. What do you think? BTW I think the Chanel Les Beige looks the best on you on camera. Your skin is lovely!
Thank you so much! I have not purchased any Tom Ford foundations but I have tried a couple a long time ago. At the time, the stick foundation wasn't impressive on my skin which was oilier than it is now. I know it is a favorite for many people though. I have recently tried a sample of the Shade and Illuminate and I though it was nice but I need to try more of it to get a real feel for it. I have used concealers as foundation in the past and occasionally do that with stick concealers/foundations during the summer like the Westman Atelier and Merit sticks or the Jones Road pencils. I haven't tried Thrive yet but I have heard great things about the brand in general. I haven't tried the lancome ones yet but I tend to not usually use my color correctors either. I have a few from various brands and I just find them not worth the effort usually but they are great for times when I want to be more flawless and have more time to do my makeup.
This was helpful and a great resource! I'm a longtime fan of Cle de Peau's foundations and am excited about the new cream version since mine is about done. I mostly use CPB and TF foundations, but picked up the Westman Atelier to just balance out my skin with all the mask wearing and I really like it.
@@LexiJong I found it on the Liberty London site, while it’s sold out on the Cult beauty site. Does this Suqqu foundation have skincare ingredients? How do you like the Suqqu liquid foundation. Thanks
Yes it does. I love it! In my previous comment I was referring to the new suqqu cream foundation but the liquid is a great serum style foundation. Both have skincare ingredients and are both great!
I love reviews/videos like this, you are so great at turning a critical eye at all the products in your stash and then exhaustively reviewing application, looks, price, etc. Bravo!
Hi Lexi! Had to watch this over a couple of days to capture all of your fantastic information! I was, of course, not surprised by your favorite primer! A little suprised by a few of your favorite foundations given all of the new releases. I have not picked up too many newer foundations and pretty much stick with the KGD moisture and suqqu cream as my top 2. My most frequently worn is the sisley phyto-teint with a light coverage! I have loved givenchy foundations in the past but have not bought one recently. Some amazing formulas. I have learned over the last couple of years how important primers really are. Such a great tip and reminder! Thank you for another resourceful and amazing review!
Hi Lexi! Thank you for this wonderfully thorough video. I am really interested in getting the Chanel sublimage…. Your skin looks so beautiful 🤩 Either way, kudos on your hard work. Your dedication and precision of language are sublime and very very helpful. My FAVORITE channel ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Fyi some kazan eye brushes available at Fude Beauty and Fude Japan 👍🏻
That was very helpful. Thank you, thank you. . So many foundations to choose from these days. I like the idea of blending two from the same brand and I enjoy my Clea Du Pea radiant matte's finish on my dry mature skin.
I loved your format. You got to the point with a snap shot of each finish. So well done and useful when I am looking to shop for a new foundation. Brilliant!
Great video! I prefer foundation with no SPF and no fragrance. I'm surprised you didn't mention Surratt. His Dew Drops is in my rotation. Only problem with it is that I couldn't get a color match. I bought 1.5 first which turned out too light. Ended up buying 3 also. One pump of 3 and 1/2 pump of 1.5 works mixed together. I have both Koh Gen Do formulas but colors are a problem for me since they discontinued shad 112. Their samples are out of date, so figuring out what might work is rough. 113 is much more warm than 112. I agree that the 2 formulas mixed together look the best. Finally, I use the Westman. I originally bought shade N which was too light and cool. So glad they added shade .5 which is a slightly darker more neutral shade.
Thanks Andrea! I have a first version of this video that includes the Surratt but I have used mine up since that time so I don't have any more on hand. The surratt foundation is great but I agree that shade matching is challenging. I hope KGD fixes their samples soon. It's been a long time now so they should just pull the old ones and create new ones reflecting the current products and shade range. Thank you so much for sharing!
Wow Lexi, you are fabulous at these speed reviews! I can't believe how many foundations you not only applied but provided such in depth thoughts on. Did you film this in one day bc all of that application followed by wash, rinse, repeat...you are beyond dedicated! 🥰❤❤👏👏
I have been working on this since the beginning of the year! Lol. I wanted to retest each foundation a couple of times so I have been rotating through them and I have filmed it in parts. Thanks Pam!
Hi Lexi, you must be busy getting ready for the Holidays. I just got my Sisley Phyto foundation in shade 00c Swan and it’s exactly my shade! It’s so beautiful even after wearing for over 8 hours!! It’s as beautiful as the Sublimage and Cle de Peau’s The Foundation. It’s nicer than the Sisley le Teint, in my opinion. It’s gonna be even more beautiful with the blur powder underneath, right?
Thanks so much for an excellent review. I really appreciate the time and thought that you invest in each of your videos. And I’m really intrigued by that Suqqu foundation..
Thank you for this foundation exposé ! I will certainly be referring to it. It was very difficult to distinguish, on-screen, any notable difference between all the foundations you applied. They all looked great. Currently, and thanks to your review of it, the Westman Atelier stick is my main go-to. I did try the Chantecaille cushion foundation, and I really love the finish, especially where my pores are enlarged - unfortunately, I had to return it because the Nordstrom SA sold me the wrong shade instead of admitting that my shade was OOS. I have a question for you: which of your liquid foundations is closest to the Chantecaille cushion foundation, in terms of finish?
Thank you Jocelyne! The Chantecaille shade range is high for a cushion but pretty poor for a general foundation imo. I had a hard time shade matching with that one because I am in between Aura and Alabaster. In terms of finish, none of them are quite like the Chantecaille because it can be so sheer or provide more coverage but I think the KGD aqua looks the closest on the skin. You can sheer out the KGD for less coverage as well - it mixes nicely with moisturizers that I have tried.
Thank you Maureen! I think it depends on what you are looking for in the foundation in terms of finish but I would recommend getting samples of the Koh Gen Do and Cle de Peau foundations. I think the CdP are pretty perfect. I think some of the Chanel ones would be great too depending on what you are looking for. The Sublimage is great if you have a shade match but they have a limited range for that product (I feel the same way about the pricey Sisley one but now that the price is so high, it is hard to recommend it.) In my opinion, you just really need a foundation that doesn't move once you put it on so if you have oily skin (which I know isn't as common at 60+) then the MUFE would be great.
@@LexiJong Hi Lexi, I’m looking for a light foundation that can be applied on wrinkled and textured skin without emphasizing age. I don’t even use over my entire face - mostly just to cover any redness. At 65, I still have combo skin - an oily nose and chin and dryness around the perimeter. Don’t really want to wear powder. Also, very important that it doesn’t pill over my SPF. Thinking of trying the Koh Gen Do first. I really love your channel and never miss your product comparisons.
@@maureenturk8578 Thank you so much! I think if you don't want it all over your face, you may want to look at the Westman Atelier foundation also. It is really great and it is buildable so you can cover what you want. The Koh Gen Do is really great and light. I think the Moisture foundation would be a good choice. It's so natural looking on the skin and it just looks fresh!
Great video! Thank you for the work you put into it. I’m totally enamored with the Suqqu cream foundation. I love the finish and it’s so easy to apply. I recently had a friend send the new, The Liquid Foundation by Suqqu. I love it. It looks slightly dewy but it sets. It also makes my skin look very smooth. You’ll have to try it.
For the most part I used the Koyudo F-04. I also used the Surratt foundation brush (not worth it though imo), the rephr 31, chikuhodo t11, guerlain l'essentiel brush, the brush that comes with the Chanel sublimage, the SUQQU foundation brush, the Westman Atelier Blender, and the Koh Gen Do buffing brush. My favorites of these are the rephr, Koyudo, Koh Gen Do, Guerlain, and the Chanel but you can't get that one separately. I use the rephr and Koyudo brushes the most.
Excellent review. I started using CDP matte foundation and loving it. It is the first foundation that the color matches my skin tone perfectly. I tried the CDP radiant foundation from the sample and loved it, too. I might get the CDP radiant one and mix them together like you do.
Hi Lexi what a great foundation video🙌 i liked the most how Chanel Sublimage looks on you And also Chanel de teint and also i liked cle de peau matte one .Have a blessed day 🙏🧡
I wonder how the Chanel healthy glow and ultra le teint would look mixed. I have tried samples of both and liked them both but the le beige healthy glow was a little too shiny on my t zone and the le teint was a little more coverage than I like. Seems like a combo might be perfect like your two cle de peau ones.
Thank you for all your work on the video. The only thing I would have loved to see, is a closeup of your skin in each foundation, but hey, you did so much work that I can't complain! It was great to see the oxidisation and also the colour swatches all next to each other. Just wondering...I wonder where the La Mer foundation or the Surratt Dew Drop would have fitted in. xxxxx
I have not used the La Mer foundation - I only have the skin tint which I don't love and it is sitting in my purge pile right now. It is too pearly for me. The Surratt Dew Drop is great and I had that one in my first Foundation Summation video which is linked in the description box. I used it up!
Hi Lexi, your videos are the most useful ever to me, they are so incredibly detailed! Thank you so much 🙏 As to the (super expensive) Sisleya Le Teint, which shade do you think is the coolest between the very fair ones? The colour you showed would be definitely too yellow for me (many many foundations tent to look yellowish on my rosy pale skin). Thank you again 💕
They have expanded the line since I purchased mine but none of the shades are truly rosy imo. I think the best option would be 000N or 00C depending on how fair you are. I have the cushion foundation in 00C and the new matte foundation in 000N. The 000N is a better shade for me.
I don't seem to have recorded which one that is but my guess is a mix of the Cle de Peau Radiant Natural and Matte foundations or a mix of the Givenchy matte and glow foundations.
Hi Lexi, I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far. Great review on so many foundations. I really like the Suqqu cream foundation also, but the shade choice is so limited, unfortunately. I would love to know if you have tried the La Prairie Skin Caviar with concealer foundation. I still haven't picked that one up it is so expensive, and I don't wear makeup all the time. One day I plan on doing so by then they will have a replacement or newer version. 🌞🤍💛
Hi Gia! Unfortunately I have tried finding a match for the La Prairie but they are all too dark. I really like the formula of it but the colors just don't work for me.
Great video Lexi!!! So incredibly in-depth I’m amazed at how well researched this video was! I have several of your faves! Thanks for all the insight and demos!! Very helpful!
You look amazing in this foundation that you’re wearing for the video. I realize this was forever ago, but do you happen to remember the lip shade you are wearing here?
Love this video lexi.i have both ko gen do from watching your vids.i love love the aqua.that and one u haven't tried and I had to carefully check to get any kind of a discount is serge lutens spectral liquid foundation.right now this is my favorite of all since shade match and 3verything great.i really want to try suqqu cream.my makeup forever oxidizes too much for me.thank you lexi for a great video xxxx
Fantastic! Thank you so much for hours of work you put into this video! My faves are both KGD’s. Been using for 10+ years. Formulas changed 3x since I started using but still very good. Givenchy and Chanel Les beige are two I’ve been reaching for most of late. Wish I can try Suqqu for Japanese foundations are my preference but I’m allergic to chemical sunscreen.
Good information!!!! I've been using my Bobbi Brown for years and just haven't tried anything else really since. Do you recall what blush and bronzer your wearing? Also, I have more combo/oily skin and I was using Too Faced Peaches primer until they discontinued it. I have tried so many primers and haven't found one that keeps my oils away. I don't use anything that has dewy in the name because it makes my skin more oily and I honestly don't like shine for myself.
I am not sure exactly what I am wearing but I think it is the Guerlain Terracotta Light Bronzer and probably the Sisley blush in Rosewood. The Surratt primer is my favorite and I think it may work really well for you. Have you tried it by any chance?
Lexi. Thank you for this video. I love trying foundations and continue to look for the perfect blend. Im disappointed that Sisley increases their prices so I’ll probably try other brands. Cle de Peau is one of my favorites too. I just purchased a bottle of the Geurlain foundation. I love the bottle. Thanks again for your incredible reviews of foundations!
Definitely! I personally like the Suqqu and Cle de Peau for special occasions but with photography you may want to veer towards something without SPF. The Koh Gen Do options are both fantastic options imo.
Amazing video, great content and suuuuper helpful ( finish of the product, fórmula, the cost, perfomance...✨✨✨ thanks for the incredíble work you put un each video!! 💐💐💐
THANKS SO MUCH for this incredibly thorough video & all your hard work on it!👍🎉 Have you tried the Hourglass No 28 Primer Serum or Veil Mineral Primer? I have dry skin (combo in the summer) & thought either one or both of those primers could be a good option.
Amazing video! Can i just check if you find the koh gen do shades perfect for you? I am in the UK so have to blind buy from beautylish but the swatches online look a bit too pink! The colour on my neck is almost identical to yours , i always find a foundation works on my face but my neck is much lighter and it just looks off. That is my biggest struggle and in the UK u cant send a product back once opened :(
Thank you! I find that the Koh Gen Do shade 012 is a pretty perfect match for me. I think KGD and Cle de Peau I10 are the best matches on my skin. Blind buying is a challenge! I always double check what I think with findation (.com) to see if their database agrees with my thoughts.
Perfect! I love the SUQQU cream foundation too. I prefer it over the newest one but will have an updated foundation video soon with some new foundations too.
What an Amazing helpfull review! I am searching for a luminous Dewy foundation, That also have a blurring effect. Between the chanel Healthy glow foundation, the givenchy and the CDP radiant natural foundation which is the most luminous and blurring?
You think of everything. At the beginning I was wondering how I was going to know what the oxidized swatches looked like before. Then, of course, you redid each swatch. No one is more dedicated than you!
Good advice. Have you tried the ABH luminous foundation yet ? Would it be ok to mix my cle de peau matte foundation with ABH luminous foundation or would it not be a good idea to mix two different brands together. Thank you
I haven’t tried that one. You can definitely mix brands. Sometimes certain formulas aren’t compatible but you will know the first time you try it whether you like it or not. Usually a disagreement between formulas has to do with the water vs. oil content but there is nothing that limits you from mixing brands. I find it is the best way to get what you want.
Thank you! I didn't put them all on in one day. I first test all of the foundations for a while and then I wear a different one every day usually to record the application and refresh my thoughts as well. It can definitely be irritating though and there were a few where my footage was missing and I had to wash my face and reapply but in general, I try to plan these types of videos well in advance to avoid any harm to my skin.
You don’t have the La Prarie Skin Caviar and the Cle de Peau the foundation which are even more expensive!! They are also really beautiful. Every time I took of the La Prarie at the end of the day, my skin thanked me!!
@@LexiJong I have to say the La Prarie doesn’t give a satin glass skin finish like the CDP the Foundation, but it has such good skincare that you would feel so good at the end of the day.

Excellent review. I started using CDP matte foundation and loving it. It is the first foundation that the color matches my skin tone perfectly. I tried the CDP radiant foundation from the sample and loved it, too. I might get the CDP radiant one and mix them together like you do.
I'm so glad you love it! I think CdP makes some of the best foundations.
Hi Lexi what a great foundation video🙌 i liked the most how Chanel Sublimage looks on you And also Chanel de teint and also i liked cle de peau matte one .Have a blessed day 🙏🧡
Thank you so much Giedre! Those are some good foundations!
I wonder how the Chanel healthy glow and ultra le teint would look mixed. I have tried samples of both and liked them both but the le beige healthy glow was a little too shiny on my t zone and the le teint was a little more coverage than I like. Seems like a combo might be perfect like your two cle de peau ones.
I haven't tried those two mixed yet but that is a good idea!
Thank you for all your work on the video. The only thing I would have loved to see, is a closeup of your skin in each foundation, but hey, you did so much work that I can't complain! It was great to see the oxidisation and also the colour swatches all next to each other. Just wondering...I wonder where the La Mer foundation or the Surratt Dew Drop would have fitted in. xxxxx
I have not used the La Mer foundation - I only have the skin tint which I don't love and it is sitting in my purge pile right now. It is too pearly for me. The Surratt Dew Drop is great and I had that one in my first Foundation Summation video which is linked in the description box. I used it up!
Hi Lexi, your videos are the most useful ever to me, they are so incredibly detailed! Thank you so much 🙏 As to the (super expensive) Sisleya Le Teint, which shade do you think is the coolest between the very fair ones? The colour you showed would be definitely too yellow for me (many many foundations tent to look yellowish on my rosy pale skin). Thank you again 💕
They have expanded the line since I purchased mine but none of the shades are truly rosy imo. I think the best option would be 000N or 00C depending on how fair you are. I have the cushion foundation in 00C and the new matte foundation in 000N. The 000N is a better shade for me.
@@LexiJong Thank you so much for your help and kindness ❤️
What foundation are you wearing when you ranking from most expensive to lowest? Your foundation is glowing!
I don't seem to have recorded which one that is but my guess is a mix of the Cle de Peau Radiant Natural and Matte foundations or a mix of the Givenchy matte and glow foundations.
Hi Lexi, I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far. Great review on so many foundations. I really like the Suqqu cream foundation also, but the shade choice is so limited, unfortunately. I would love to know if you have tried the La Prairie Skin Caviar with concealer foundation. I still haven't picked that one up it is so expensive, and I don't wear makeup all the time. One day I plan on doing so by then they will have a replacement or newer version. 🌞🤍💛
Hi Gia! Unfortunately I have tried finding a match for the La Prairie but they are all too dark. I really like the formula of it but the colors just don't work for me.
Great video Lexi!!! So incredibly in-depth I’m amazed at how well researched this video was! I have several of your faves! Thanks for all the insight and demos!! Very helpful!
Yay! Thank you! I appreciate it Bonnie!
You look amazing in this foundation that you’re wearing for the video. I realize this was forever ago, but do you happen to remember the lip shade you are wearing here?
I am not sure but it looks like it is probably Valde Curiosity which is a favorite of mine.
Another great video! I think I liked the CDP matte & Suqqu best. I wish someone would carry Suqqu in the States.
Maybe one day! Thank you Beebs!
THANKYOU LEXI! I am definitely keeping this video as a reference guide!
Thank you Robin!
Love this video lexi.i have both ko gen do from watching your vids.i love love the aqua.that and one u haven't tried and I had to carefully check to get any kind of a discount is serge lutens spectral liquid foundation.right now this is my favorite of all since shade match and 3verything great.i really want to try suqqu cream.my makeup forever oxidizes too much for me.thank you lexi for a great video xxxx
Oh I want to try the Serge Lutens sometime! It is so hard to find!
Great video, I love complexion products, you have such a great collection!
Thank you so much!
I found this video very helpful. Not sure how I found you but glad I did!
Thank you so much! I'm glad it was helpful!
Fantastic! Thank you so much for hours of work you put into this video!
My faves are both KGD’s. Been using for 10+ years. Formulas changed 3x since I started using but still very good.
Givenchy and Chanel Les beige are two I’ve been reaching for most of late.
Wish I can try Suqqu for Japanese foundations are my preference but I’m allergic to chemical sunscreen.
Thank you so much for watching! The KGD just always make it to the top of my list. They are classics that no one seems able to beat.
Good information!!!! I've been using my Bobbi Brown for years and just haven't tried anything else really since. Do you recall what blush and bronzer your wearing? Also, I have more combo/oily skin and I was using Too Faced Peaches primer until they discontinued it. I have tried so many primers and haven't found one that keeps my oils away. I don't use anything that has dewy in the name because it makes my skin more oily and I honestly don't like shine for myself.
I am not sure exactly what I am wearing but I think it is the Guerlain Terracotta Light Bronzer and probably the Sisley blush in Rosewood. The Surratt primer is my favorite and I think it may work really well for you. Have you tried it by any chance?
@@LexiJong the combo is so pretty on you!!! I have not tried it bc of the price point 😒
Lexi. Thank you for this video. I love trying foundations and continue to look for the perfect blend. Im disappointed that Sisley increases their prices so I’ll probably try other brands. Cle de Peau is one of my favorites too. I just purchased a bottle of the Geurlain foundation. I love the bottle. Thanks again for your incredible reviews of foundations!
Thank you so much Gina! The hunt for the perfect foundation never ends! I hope you enjoy the Guerlain.
Thank you so much for this video! Would you recommend any of these for a special occasion and photos?
Definitely! I personally like the Suqqu and Cle de Peau for special occasions but with photography you may want to veer towards something without SPF. The Koh Gen Do options are both fantastic options imo.
Lexi this is an amazing video. Thank you very much for all your efforts shooting and editing this 🧡
Thank you so much!
Amazing video, great content and suuuuper helpful ( finish of the product, fórmula, the cost, perfomance...✨✨✨ thanks for the incredíble work you put un each video!! 💐💐💐
Thank you so much Rut! I appreciate it!
Amazing video LexI!
Thank you Randi!
Great video for me because I'm quite sure I have your skin tone or quite similar! Very helpful!
I'm so glad it is helpful!
THANKS SO MUCH for this incredibly thorough video & all your hard work on it!👍🎉 Have you tried the Hourglass No 28 Primer Serum or Veil Mineral Primer? I have dry skin (combo in the summer) & thought either one or both of those primers could be a good option.
Thank you! I have not tried the 28 serum but I have tried a sample of the veil mineral primer. It was nice but nothing special for me.
Love this so much . Great video
Thank you so much!!
Fabulous video. I am saving this video. Great information. Thank you !
Awesome! Thank you!
thank you for all that run down! :)
Thank you for watching!
Hi Lexi I appreciate your comparisons but would love if you tested the Trinny London BFF Serum Foundation! Is it possible?
I don't have that but will add it to my list. I am not sure when I will get to it though.
Well done. Thank you Lexi. ☺️
Thank you! 😊
Amazing video! Can i just check if you find the koh gen do shades perfect for you? I am in the UK so have to blind buy from beautylish but the swatches online look a bit too pink! The colour on my neck is almost identical to yours , i always find a foundation works on my face but my neck is much lighter and it just looks off. That is my biggest struggle and in the UK u cant send a product back once opened :(
Thank you! I find that the Koh Gen Do shade 012 is a pretty perfect match for me. I think KGD and Cle de Peau I10 are the best matches on my skin. Blind buying is a challenge! I always double check what I think with findation (.com) to see if their database agrees with my thoughts.
Amazing fabulous review! Thank you!!
Thanks for watching!
Hi Lexi excited to watch !
Thanks Foteini!
Suqqu the cream has my heart. Selfridges just arrived today with a new tub. Nothing better than an EMPTY!!
Perfect! I love the SUQQU cream foundation too. I prefer it over the newest one but will have an updated foundation video soon with some new foundations too.
What an Amazing helpfull review! I am searching for a luminous Dewy foundation, That also have a blurring effect. Between the chanel Healthy glow foundation, the givenchy and the CDP radiant natural foundation which is the most luminous and blurring?
I think the CdP is the most radiant and blurring out of those. It's a really great option!
@@LexiJong thank you!
Thank you so much, this is really helpful! Love your videos!
I'm so glad! Thank you Linda!
Thank you for a very detailed foundation video. I really enjoyed it.
Thank you Juliana!
Which is more smoothing and perfecting? Cle de peau natural radiant or chanel no1?
I think the cdp wins a tiny bit but the Chanel is really nice and a close contender.
Thank you so much for this amazing video!! So informative and interesting .
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!
What would you choose between the ko gen do aqua or the Chantecaille future skin?
Koh Gen Do hands down
Wow! Thanks for the great info!
Thank you!
Hi Lexi, between the Kogendo Aqua and Ko Gen Do Mosture, which foundation do you like more? Thanks
I prefer the moisture but I love them both and they are different.
@@LexiJong do you know on the Ko Gen Do website, they now sell sample packages for light skin tone so we can swatch for our perfect shades?
Oh I'm so glad to hear that! They used to sell samples a long time ago but I didn't realize they had them now!
@@LexiJong yes they do, so I order both light packages. I’ll let you know which shade is best for me.
You think of everything. At the beginning I was wondering how I was going to know what the oxidized swatches looked like before. Then, of course, you redid each swatch. No one is more dedicated than you!
Thank you so much!!
Lexi, is the KGD Aqua Foundation the sheerest foundation yoU have? Is it more like a tint?
It is not that sheer. It is light to medium coverage. The sheerest is the sisley phyto teint nude.
Thank you Lexi!! Wanting to try something new. Thank you for the great video!!
@@yuliabudd4401 Thanks!
No Lisa Eldridge? I like her for under eye because I don’t need to set with powder.
Her foundation didn't work for me so I did not purchase a full size.
Good advice. Have you tried the ABH luminous foundation yet ? Would it be ok to mix my cle de peau matte foundation with ABH luminous foundation or would it not be a good idea to mix two different brands together. Thank you
I haven’t tried that one. You can definitely mix brands. Sometimes certain formulas aren’t compatible but you will know the first time you try it whether you like it or not. Usually a disagreement between formulas has to do with the water vs. oil content but there is nothing that limits you from mixing brands. I find it is the best way to get what you want.
Brilliant video but didn't trying out all those foundations irritate your skin? It did look very red, possibly normal for you.
Thank you! I didn't put them all on in one day. I first test all of the foundations for a while and then I wear a different one every day usually to record the application and refresh my thoughts as well. It can definitely be irritating though and there were a few where my footage was missing and I had to wash my face and reapply but in general, I try to plan these types of videos well in advance to avoid any harm to my skin.
So helpful 🤗💜
Glad it was helpful!
You don’t have the La Prarie Skin Caviar and the Cle de Peau the foundation which are even more expensive!! They are also really beautiful. Every time I took of the La Prarie at the end of the day, my skin thanked me!!
I have Cle de peau but not the la prairie. Love the cdp.
@@LexiJong I love love the CDP too!!
@@LexiJong Lexi, does the Suqqu foundation have skincare ingredients too? Thanks
@@LexiJong I have to say the La Prarie doesn’t give a satin glass skin finish like the CDP the Foundation, but it has such good skincare that you would feel so good at the end of the day.
yes but they have a newer version now. You can see it here: th-cam.com/video/9M-fxwSIveU/w-d-xo.html
The new version is a bit less dewy.
I don’t know if I feel sorrier for your face or your wallet. Haha. Thanks for the cool vid!!!
Thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
That must have been a lot of work. Thank you!
It was, thank you for noticing!
@@LexiJong My face would have been so unhappy.
@@melissalightstone7185 I have been filming it over the last couple of months because my face couldn't handle it all at once either!
@@LexiJong I jgave and just bought the Cle De Peau matte to try mixing with the Radiant which I have and like. I remembered to follow your link.
Thank you so much! Please let me know how you like it!
Great video, thank you
Glad you liked it! Thank you!
I can swear by hourglass veil primer. Totally hides pores!
Thanks for sharing!
