Hi there Mimi! I'm so glad you're here, and your sweet comment put a huge smile on my face! 😊 Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Have a great day! ❤️
Thank you so much for including a dry time for this foundation. I'd like to try it and know when I'd be able to kiss my grandson's cute cheeks without covering him in makeup!
Oh you are so welcome Angela! 🤗 I love your reasoning for wanting to know how quickly it dries!! 🥰 I hope you (and your sweet grandson) are having an absolutely beautiful day! 💕
Would you mind if I used your comment in one of my promotional videos? I would of course, blur your screen name for privacy. No worries if you prefer that I don't! 🤗 Thanks so much! ❤
Just tried this today! Late 60s, dry skin, lines. Used same color, Light 10. Applied toner & moisturizer. Scooped it out, warmed in my hands, and applied. I did not care of it on my skin. The color is awful on my skin; looks like a mask, no life in my skin-and this with very light application. Applying more, looks like I am wearing a mask. Not very hydrating at all for my dry skin. I’ve tried lots of foundations and none of them work for old, dry skin :-), except Jones Road Beauty, WTF foundation. I was hoping the L’Oréal would work because it’s so inexpensive, but it doesn’t. Oh, the L’Oréal also goes into lines. The Jones Royal is the ONLY foundation I found that works for my skin. Great color. Moisturizing. Looks fantastic. Lasts all day. It does go into lines, but does not exaggerate them; no idea how they did that and only with a heavier application. A light application is fantastic. $44 for 1.165 oz - nearly twice as much as L’Oréal, so really Jones Road ends up being just a little bit more expensive, but way better with fantastic ingredients. I’m not gonna look any more. Jones Road it is for me.
Oh I'm so sorry Dawn! ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me! I completely understand the frustration of purchasing a "cheaper" foundation only to discover in the long run that the luxury product was really the better overall value. ❤️ I'm so glad you love the Jones Road! 🥰And I know you mentioned that J.R. is the "one" for you, but if you don't mind me just mentioning... should you ever want to try a foundation that has the same moisturizing, balmy texture as Jones Road... from what I've gathered from your short description of what you like in a foundation, and don't like in a foundation... I think you might really like the Salt NY Sneaky Balm (for those times when you want a bit more coverage than the Jones Road.) They have (Non-orangy!) color options, it feels so nice on the skin and you can apply it lightly, or build it up. If you're interested I have a "short" video on it Titled: "The Most Underrated Foundation"... or I have a longer demo video of it That says in the thumbnail" "I ❤️ This Foundation." I'm not sponsored by them or anything... I just really love it, and have suggested it to several viewers! Again, I hope you don't mind me sharing that with you... I just love talking foundation! Have a wonderful weekend Dawn! 🌺
@@foundationlady I bought this before I saw your video. Only $10. Thank you for your suggestions. I prefer light coverage. Really, foundations, in general, just don’t look good on faces over 60. All of them, with Jones Road, make me look way worse than my own skin. I wore foundation all my life and when I hit the 60s, that was pretty much the end. It took me forever to realize it’s not the foundation, it’s the age. But, miraculously Jones Road works. It makes me look better! Had checked Salt NY, dismissed it because it has clay and guess what clay does: settles into lines. Anyway, I really appreciate your response!
Oh that's great to know! I was looking through some of the shades in Walgreens and they were so orange! I'll have to get Fair 2, so I don't have to apply my self-tanner first! 😘❤️🥰
@@foundationlady hey, I just double checked because I wanted to make sure and it is called fair 20. It is a beautiful pink undertone shade, I absolutely hate orange.. So trust me it is a cool undertone. Let me know if you get it I think you’ll like it!
Oh I'm so glad it's working out so well for you Darcy! 😊 It's such a lovely, creamy formula! ❤ And thanks for watching and commenting! Have a great day!🌸
I enjoy how you talk over your demonstration and get straight to it. Great video thank you 😊. Plus you have beautiful eyes, teeth and a nice nose … happy to join your channel community. Keep up the good work !
Thank you so much for your incredibly sweet comment! 🤗❤️ I can't tell you how much I appreciate your kindness. 😇 Also, welcome to Foundation Lady! I am so glad you are here, and hope that you enjoy the videos! Have a beautiful day🌷
Congratulations on 500 subs! Love your reviews. I have this foundation too and like you it is too peachy and oxidized on me but I'm hopeful they will offer more shades and undertones. I'll wear my light 10 in the summer.
Thank you so much Melissa! I'm hoping L'OREAL will hear our requests for more shade options too! 🤞🏻 It's such a beautiful finish, I hate for the shade options to be the only thing keeping people from wearing it! Have a lovely day! ❤️
is this comparable to the simply ageless compact by covergirl same kind of concept i mean ? also do they have a lighter version than that like fair or porcelain??
That's a good question! I found this version to feel more oily than the Simply Ageless Compact. I can really feel the serum/moisturizing properties of this one, whereas the Simply Ageless feels lovely (and it's not dry at all) it just doesn't have the same level of moisture to it. I personally prefer the Simply Ageless... Oh, and the L'Oreal one (that I used in this video) does offer lighter shades than the one I tried. I hope this helps! 🤗
I watched because I’m interested in reviews on this foundation but, just loved the paces you put it through! Different lights, etc. Great, quick video ❤
I am 78 and tried it for the first time yesterday. I bought it at Walmart for $12. The colors are very limited. I bought fair. It goes on well, although very pale. Weirdly , it dried to a powder-like finish...not oily or shiny on my dry skin. I would have liked a dewier look. I put it on without any other prep tp see what would happen on its own. Will try it again with moisturizer but so far not crazy about it. May return.
Hi Sandra! 😊Thanks so much for telling me about your experience with the L'oreal balm. ❤️ That's so interesting that it turned to a powder like finish. I am curious to see if you have a better experience with it, after using moisturizer, as you mentioned... My fingers are crossed that the moisturizer will be just what you need o give it a finish you love! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! ❤️
I have been VERY curious about this one! I’m afraid it will be break apart on certain areas of my skin. Might give it a try. I share your obsession with foundation of any kind. I can’t help myself. Thanks for the review!
Well you are in the RIGHT PLACE my friend!❤️ I'm having such a blast chatting with people who love foundation just as much as I do! 🥰 I'm so glad you are here! 🙏🏻 As far as the L'OREAL balm goes... I didn't have any issue with my normal-to slightly-dry skin, and it breaking apart. (But of course I can't speak for anyone who has normal or oily type skin.) If you do end up trying it out though, I'd love to hear what you think! 🌸 Thanks for watching! Have a great day! ❤️
This foundation looks very nice on your skin 😊 i don’t know if I could get away with even the lightest shade as I’m very fair skinned. Also, I have the problem of a lot (most) foundations oxidizing on me, so if this already has a peachy undertone I would probably end up looking like an oompah loompah lol. I did get the No7 foundation in the red package and that does NOT oxidize on me! Thank you for that recommendation 😊 congratulations on reaching 500 subscribers 🎊🎉 way to go! 😊🌟💫
Thank you so much April!! ❤️🥰 And I'm over the moon that you like the No7 Foundation!! 🥳 It makes me so happy to help people find a foundation they love! As for the L'OREAL... I'm REALLY hoping they will make more shades, because I think they're really on to something with the formula! Have a fantastic day! ❤️
I think the Fair shade would work better for you. I purchased Fair 10 and Light 10 and mixed them. My skin is more yellow. I really like this foundation; it is best for normal/dry skin.
Thank you! I have light skin w pink undertones and the light looks super dark! I’ve ordered in fair 20 and will hope for the best! 🥰 I think they need a few more light shades…
I tried this on my combo skin also mature . It looked and felt awesome. I also put too much on my brush 😅 applying with my hands was much better . It’s so light feeling on the skin . It didn’t break up at all . It worked great with no primer . That makes me happy because one less step is always a good thing . Don’t know if they added more shades by now but I found a perfect one for my summer I’ll probably try another for winter . 👍🏼 Anyway just adding my 2 cents from this mature skin makeup lover.😊
Hi Becky! 🤗 I'm SOOOO glad you are loving this foundation!! ❤And how wonderful that you don't have to use primer with it! Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know how it was working for you! I ALWAYS love to hear how these foundations are working out! Have a great weekend! ☀
@@foundationlady you too I subbed. I’ll enjoy catching up on your videos. Thank you for the well wishes. It’s my birthday so I am having a great early bday weekend. Thanks again. 🥰
I purchased this at Walgreens recently for $16.99. Not pleased. The only plus was it felt good on my skin. Otherwise the color, 20, looked orange. It did not cover blemishes. I was disappointed. I have mature skin. I hope to return it.
Oh I'm so sorry Susan. ❤️ I wish L'OREAL would add some more neutral options for us fair skinned ladies! But I'm so glad to hear you're planning to return it! There's absolutely no reason to hold on to a foundation that makes you feel any less fabulous than you are! ❤️ Here's hoping I can help you find a foundation that you absolutely love! 🙏🏻
You are so sweet! 🤗 And I'm so glad you were able to return it! There's noting worse than spending money on something you don't like, and will never use! I also appreciate you giving me your opinion on it, so I could help others be forewarned! ❤️🙏🏻
I am SOOOO hoping they will come out with some more shades soon so more of us can enjoy it (without having to fake tan first! 😂! 🤞🏻) By the way... don't know if this will help, but one of my subs was just telling me earlier that the shade Fair 20 had a nice cool undertone to it. Thanks so much for watching! ❤️
Thanks so much for this video! I'm very fair and the color you got would be far too dark and warm for me. I'll keep an eye on it though and hope they come out with an expanded shade range!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment! ❤️ I don't know if this will help, but they do have some shades lighter than what I purchased. (I mistakenly thought I was buying the lightest when I purchased mine on Amazon, but I was incorrect.😂) I believe they have a few shades in the "Fair" range which are supposed to be lighter and less "peachy." Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 🤗
I'm so glad Amy! ❤ It's definitely a unique foundation and I really enjoy it. I hope you love it! 🙏🏻 Thanks so much for commenting, and have a beautiful day! 🌺
I' m so glad you reviewed this foundation, I was considering trying it but I have cool undertones so I don't think the shades would work for me. What is the lipstick you are wearing? I love the color!
Hi Karen! You are so sweet. 🌸 I just bought this lipstick palette from Target that I absolutely LOVE. (I'll leave the link below!) It's made by Pixi, and it's the "Louise Row" Palette. I started with the bottom left shade called, "Lady." And then I usually play around adding a little bit of the lighter colors until I have just the shade I want. I have been enjoying using the palette SO much though, for the price of one lipstick, I get a combo that I'm happy with each time I use it! 🥰 Thanks so much for watching! Have a great day! ❤️ LINK: A-80166325
Shoot! So sorry, for some reason it's not allowing me to link it. You should be able to find it very easily on Target.com, just search, "Pixi Louise Row" in the search bar. So sorry I was unable to link it! ❤️
Hi Carol! 🤗 Welcome! Thank you so much for watching, subbing, and commenting!❤️ I haven't had the chance to try the Jones Road just yet, but I have reviewed the Salt NY Sneaky Balm and absolutely LOVED it!! (If you'd like to see it in action, I have a video whose title is: I ❤️ This Foundation ... that's the Sneaky Balm one.) Oh and my friend Shelly (her channel is "Geek Out of Water" ) just reviewed the Jones Road if I'm not mistaken. She's a lovely woman who gives amazingly thorough reviews if you want to see one on the Jones Road right away! 🤗 Thanks again, and I hope you have a lovely day! 🌸
Hi M M! Thank you so much for your sweet comment! 🥰 I'm wearing a lipstick palette from Target that I absolutely LOVE. It's made by Pixi, and it's the "Louise Row" Palette. I started with the bottom left shade called, "Lady." And then I usually play around adding a little bit of the lighter colors until I have just the shade I want. I hope this helps! ❤️ Have a beautiful day! 🌸
@@MM-zc4tt Oh I'm so glad you're gonna look for it! 🥰 I hope you absolutely LOVE it!! I was just thinking about you, and our conversation about it as I was filming a video this afternoon and pulled it out to create my lip color! ❤ Blessings to you too!! 🙏🏻😇❤
I wasn't going to bother with this when I glanced at the shades at CVS. Then, I thought I'd give it a try after reading some mostly positive reviews. I bought the lightest shade. It looks OK, and it's not too greasy on me. It's good about not collecting in wrinkles and pores. But yeah, I'm bothered by the peachy tone. Like you, I was wondering why L'Oreal made these so orangey when they've always offered a variety of shade ranges. Salt NY makes a balm tint in a smallish shade range (12 for now), but all shades are on the neutral side. I have the lightest one, which is a perfect match, amazingly. It's probably not great for oily skin, and I'm not sure if I'll love it as much in the summer, but for the most part, I do like the way it brings my skin to life. It comes in pans that you need to place in a magnetic pallet. One pan is $16. They offer a bundle that includes a pallet and your choice of four balms. I went that route because I wanted to try their blush-lip tints, which are beautiful. I will continue to wear my L'Oreal balm on more casual days. It looks great on you, not too orange. I didn't notice mine oxidizing that much.
Hi Elizabeth! Thanks so much for the info, I'm definitely going to check out the Salt NY balm tint! I don't recall hearing of them before... I always get excited to find out about a new brand though! 😊 Also, don't know if it will help, but one of my subs mentioned that the L'OREAL balm in 20 "Light" had a good cool undertone to it... if you are interested. (Of course it sounds like your Salt ones are more to your preference, they sound AMAZING! But just in case, I though I'd pass it along.) Thanks so much for watching and commenting! ❤️
Cool! Salt NY is an independent company. Completely hands-on. I wore her Sneaky Balm today in the heat (Southern CA) and it held up well. Better than liquid foundations. I was surprised. Looking forward to you receiving it!
@@elizabethbarrow3801 I'm really excited to try it. I absolutely love their idea for the packaging (palettes) too. PS my hubby and I lived in SoCal for about 3 years. It's so beautiful there (and I miss In n' Out!) 😂
Your review is amazing - love all your details - so professional and I especially like it when you brought the camera close to your skin - nobody does that - can you recommend a medium foundation with no smell as I am severely allergic to perfume - Cheers from Canada 🍁
Hi Marnelle! 🤗 Thanks so much for the sweet comment! ❤ I'd love to help you find a medium coverage foundation with no fragrance! First let me ask... do you like a more matte or dewy finish? And also what is your skin type (dry, oily, or combo?) Oh and by the way, I LOVE Canada!! 🥰 My hubby has taken me about 4 times now, and I just love it more and more each time we go there! 🌸
@@foundationlady That's so great that you were able to visit us in the north - what part did you visit - so much of Canada I still have yet to see - for the foundation I still get breakouts due to hormones as I am now 61 - I would say the T-zone is oily, especially the nose - I definitely like matte finish and always finish with powder so if you can recommend a powder too, that would be great - the only foundation I have been able to find and use is Marcelle, natural beige and nude beige that I mix together - I find the coverage not the best but it spreads great - I also use 'Marcelle 2-in-1 foundation and concealer' which has better coverage but harder to spread because it is thicker - since I am now older, there are more lines, so I guess the makeup settles different than when I was younger - any suggestions were be great, especially no smell, great coverage and for mature skin - you have your work cut out for ya, but truly grateful and I so appreciate you getting back to me - thank you
@@MSGC55 I'm sorry to just be responding! ❤ I have a bit of time tomorrow , so I'm going to hunt through my collection and see if I can come up with a few ideas that fit your skin type / preferences. 😊 And as far as my travels to Canada, My hubby has taken me several times to Toronto (usually for my birthdays!) We love to go up and see a show, and I LOVE shopping at the big SEPHORA in Eaton Centre! 😍 I'm really hoping to see more of Canada. Especially Prince Edward Island (big Anne of Green Gables Fan!) 🇨🇦
@@foundationlady Thanks for getting back to me - I knew you had probably gotten busy and I very much appreciate you still taking the time to give me suggestions - so glad you had a great visit in T.O. and enjoyed your time at Sephora - I would love to get out East one day - many of my friends love it out there and especially the people are simply amazing - maybe you heard of the musical and the movie, You Are Here - A Come From Away Story in Newfoundland - if not familiar you should Google the story - anyways, you take as much time as you need - there certainly is no rush - talk soon - Cheers - PS - I too Loved Anne of Green Gables with Megan Follows and love interest Jonathan Crombie - Jonathan lived a block away from my childhood home and I knew his beautiful Mom and Dad - sadly Jonathan died in 2015, such a lovely young man - was it that series that you loved and enjoyed or was it with another actress 😊
@@MSGC55 WHAAAAT???!!! I cannot believe you lived down the street from Jonathan Crombie!!! 😍 That was definitely the Anne of Green Gables version I grew up watching, and I was soooo in love with Gil! He was a childhood crush, and I was so sad to hear of his passing. He was so young, how devastating that must’ve been for his friends and family. Thank you so much for sharing your story with me, about your parents living down the street! ❤ Ok so I’ve been researching and playing around with medium coverage, matte, NO fragrance foundations! So my first suggestion would be the KOSAS Revealer-Skin Improving Foundation. It’s not only fragrance free, but it has clean ingredients and a really beautiful finish. (I have a video on it if you want to see it in action… It’s Titled, “Revealing the New Kosas…”) It’s available at Sephora, and they have several shades to choose from. My suggestion of course would be to get a free sample at Sephora first, or at least save your receipt in case you don’t like it…. but it’s been very well received, so I’m hoping it will work beautifully for you too! (Also, I haven’t tried it myself but several of my viewers have RAVED to me about the KOSAS pressed cloud powder, and the KOSAS concealer (if you’re looking for accompaniments to your foundation.) As far as drugstore foundations go… I have tried several No 7 foundations and have really enjoyed them. Bonus: all of these are fragrance free, AND No 7 has a guarantee on its website where you can get your money back if you don’t like it! So the first one I would suggest is my personal favorite from them... The No 7 Restore and Renew Foundation (it has the white bottle top.) OR The No. 7 “Lift and Luminate foundation (which has the black top…) Just a warning: The “Restore and Renew” (white top ) has a bit more of radiant finish than the “Lift and Luminate” (black top) which is a bit more matte. I have a video comparing the two of these foundations side by side if you are interested… It’s titled: “Testing out the NEW No 7 Serum Foundations” Also from No. 7 is the “Protect and Perfect Advanced” (green tube) This one is great because it has a high SPF, but I found it to be just a touch matte for me personally, however it might be perfect for your skin needs (since you mentioned an oily T-zone.) Also have a video on it titled, “Testing the Old and New No 7 Protect and Perfect..” I love that No 7 has really good shade options, and additionally (I’ve not tried) but have heard really great things about the No 7. “Lift and Luminate” pressed powder. I hope this helps! ❤I’d love to hear if you decide to try any of them out, and if so, how they work for you! Have a great week! 🤗🌸
Great review, very thorough. The instructions clearly say to apply with fingers. Why are all the youtubers using brushes and sponges? That’s going to affect the results.
OMG!!!!! 😂 I can't even! LOL I sat here and read your comment....then I mentally went through my foundations.... then I looked in my foundation drawer.... and then I came to the conclusion that I just COULDN'T decide ! 🤣 But maybe I need to try to do video on that?? Like, try to at least narrow it down to the HG worthy ones?? Of course I have to ask YOU now... what's your HG??? 🥰 (and thanks for your comment! It made me smile for sure!) ❤️
@@foundationlady - mine is a no-no on utube: a mlm brand that everyone I follow does not support- Mary Kay Timewise luminous. I'll be 55 this summer and I keep buying/trying a lot of foundations- I haven't found one that works and makes my skin look great except that one. I keep trying though lol!
@@KimmboV I had a friend that used to use Timewise and absolutely loved it! If it works for you, that's great! But if you need a backup, hopefully I'll stumble across one soon you might like and make a video of it! ❤️🥰 Thanks for sharing your HG with me! 🌸
Thank you for your patience! 😊 I wanted to make sure I re-tested the formula before responding to your question... I definitely think you can get away with just using a setting spray on top, instead of powder with this one (especially if you have normal to dryish skin...) You'll want to go in with a very light touch of the spray though, because too much water (or liquid) on this one can possibly cause a bit of patchiness.) The balm goes on very creamy feeling, but it does dry down within a few minutes. I hope this helps! ❤️ 🤗
Oh I'm so sorry... My fingers are crossed that they'll eventually come out with some more pale shades for us fair-skinned makeup lovers! 🙏🏻 Thanks so much for letting me know your experience with it though! I really appreciate it! ❤
yessssss! 😕 I was SO hoping they would expand upon the shade range and include some neutral undertones, but so far... no luck! Here's hoping they do so eventually! 🙏🏻 Thanks so much for your comment! ❤️ Have a beautiful day!! 🤗
Oh wow, that shade looked like apricot jelly! Once blended out, it wasn't that bad, but not a great shadematch. Seems a rather impossible task, with only 8 shades. It did look very lovely on you, and I loved that lipcolor on you! What are you going to give away? Oeh, is it going to be Norm? Then count me in!
Haha! It won't be little Normie... but he may put on his bow tie and come present the giveaway with me! 🥰 And thanks about the lip color! I've been enjoying using a lip palette lately so I can just mix and blend until I find a shade I like! 😊❤️
The very lightest shade (I think Fair 10) is still dark for me and I felt it oxidized as well… maybe 1/2 a shade. I do like the texture but the color is just not right.
Oh how I empathize! ❤️ I'm hoping it will do well so they will expand their shade range on this one! Thanks so much for watching and commenting Marianne! Have a wonderful weekend! ❤️
Yes!! I was so hoping they would add some "in between" shades that had some more neutral undertones! (actually I'm secretly still hoping! 😁) Thanks so much for your comment, and have a beautiful weekend Pamela! 🌺
I notice that most of your videos range around 5 minutes. I’d call these shorts too. Why don’t you include an all day wear test so we can learn of the performance of the makeup? Not just the initial application, which is what you seem to only do.

I can really feel the serum/moisturizing properties of this one, whereas the Simply Ageless feels lovely (and it's not dry at all) it just doesn't have the same level of moisture to it. I personally prefer the Simply Ageless... Oh, and the L'Oreal one (that I used in this video) does offer lighter shades than the one I tried. I hope this helps! 🤗
I watched because I’m interested in reviews on this foundation but, just loved the paces you put it through! Different lights, etc. Great, quick video ❤
Hi Tammy! 🤗 Thanks so much for your sweet comment! I'm so glad it was helpful! ❤️ Have a wonderful weekend! 🦋
500 subscribers!!!! 🎉Congratulations! Great review, as always. I was confused by this one and was glad to see how you got on with it.
Thank you so much Charity!! 😊 I really appreciate it! ❤️
I’ve enjoyed every video you’ve posted - well done!
Thank you so very much!! ❤️🥰
I am 78 and tried it for the first time yesterday. I bought it at Walmart for $12. The colors are very limited. I bought fair. It goes on well, although very pale. Weirdly , it dried to a powder-like finish...not oily or shiny on my dry skin. I would have liked a dewier look. I put it on without any other prep tp see what would happen on its own. Will try it again with moisturizer but so far not crazy about it. May return.
Hi Sandra! 😊Thanks so much for telling me about your experience with the L'oreal balm. ❤️ That's so interesting that it turned to a powder like finish. I am curious to see if you have a better experience with it, after using moisturizer, as you mentioned... My fingers are crossed that the moisturizer will be just what you need o give it a finish you love! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! ❤️
Great review! Also, your hair! So flattering on you!😍
Thank you so much! You're so sweet! ❤️❤️❤️
I have been VERY curious about this one! I’m afraid it will be break apart on certain areas of my skin. Might give it a try. I share your obsession with foundation of any kind. I can’t help myself. Thanks for the review!
Well you are in the RIGHT PLACE my friend!❤️ I'm having such a blast chatting with people who love foundation just as much as I do! 🥰 I'm so glad you are here! 🙏🏻 As far as the L'OREAL balm goes... I didn't have any issue with my normal-to slightly-dry skin, and it breaking apart. (But of course I can't speak for anyone who has normal or oily type skin.) If you do end up trying it out though, I'd love to hear what you think! 🌸 Thanks for watching! Have a great day! ❤️
This foundation looks very nice on your skin 😊 i don’t know if I could get away with even the lightest shade as I’m very fair skinned. Also, I have the problem of a lot (most) foundations oxidizing on me, so if this already has a peachy undertone I would probably end up looking like an oompah loompah lol. I did get the No7 foundation in the red package and that does NOT oxidize on me! Thank you for that recommendation 😊 congratulations on reaching 500 subscribers 🎊🎉 way to go! 😊🌟💫
Thank you so much April!! ❤️🥰 And I'm over the moon that you like the No7 Foundation!! 🥳 It makes me so happy to help people find a foundation they love! As for the L'OREAL... I'm REALLY hoping they will make more shades, because I think they're really on to something with the formula! Have a fantastic day! ❤️
I think the Fair shade would work better for you. I purchased Fair 10 and Light 10 and mixed them. My skin is more yellow. I really like this foundation; it is best for normal/dry skin.
Thanks for the tip Laura! 😊 I'll have to pick it up! ❤️
Thank you! I have light skin w pink undertones and the light looks super dark! I’ve ordered in fair 20 and will hope for the best! 🥰 I think they need a few more light shades…
I completely agree! I hope the fair 20 ends up working beautifully for you!!❤️
Your hair looks so pretty!
Thank you so much!! 🥰❤️
I tried this on my combo skin also mature . It looked and felt awesome. I also put too much on my brush 😅 applying with my hands was much better . It’s so light feeling on the skin . It didn’t break up at all . It worked great with no primer . That makes me happy because one less step is always a good thing . Don’t know if they added more shades by now but I found a perfect one for my summer I’ll probably try another for winter . 👍🏼 Anyway just adding my 2 cents from this mature skin makeup lover.😊
Hi Becky! 🤗 I'm SOOOO glad you are loving this foundation!! ❤And how wonderful that you don't have to use primer with it! Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know how it was working for you! I ALWAYS love to hear how these foundations are working out! Have a great weekend! ☀
@@foundationlady you too I subbed. I’ll enjoy catching up on your videos. Thank you for the well wishes. It’s my birthday so I am having a great early bday weekend. Thanks again. 🥰
@@becky6568 Happy Birthday Becky!! 🌟🎂🍭❤
I purchased this at Walgreens recently for $16.99. Not pleased. The only plus was it felt good on my skin. Otherwise the color, 20, looked orange. It did not cover blemishes. I was disappointed. I have mature skin. I hope to return it.
Oh I'm so sorry Susan. ❤️ I wish L'OREAL would add some more neutral options for us fair skinned ladies! But I'm so glad to hear you're planning to return it! There's absolutely no reason to hold on to a foundation that makes you feel any less fabulous than you are! ❤️ Here's hoping I can help you find a foundation that you absolutely love! 🙏🏻
This looked beautiful on you!! I’m so glad.
I returned mine and you already know my feelings.. 🤷🏻♀️🥰.
Love your videos!!!
You are so sweet! 🤗 And I'm so glad you were able to return it! There's noting worse than spending money on something you don't like, and will never use! I also appreciate you giving me your opinion on it, so I could help others be forewarned! ❤️🙏🏻
I wanted to love this but with my cool undertones I could not find a shade match.
I am SOOOO hoping they will come out with some more shades soon so more of us can enjoy it (without having to fake tan first! 😂! 🤞🏻) By the way... don't know if this will help, but one of my subs was just telling me earlier that the shade Fair 20 had a nice cool undertone to it. Thanks so much for watching! ❤️
Thanks so much for this video! I'm very fair and the color you got would be far too dark and warm for me. I'll keep an eye on it though and hope they come out with an expanded shade range!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment! ❤️ I don't know if this will help, but they do have some shades lighter than what I purchased. (I mistakenly thought I was buying the lightest when I purchased mine on Amazon, but I was incorrect.😂) I believe they have a few shades in the "Fair" range which are supposed to be lighter and less "peachy." Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 🤗
I think I will try this now after seeing your video on it
I'm so glad Amy! ❤ It's definitely a unique foundation and I really enjoy it. I hope you love it! 🙏🏻 Thanks so much for commenting, and have a beautiful day! 🌺
I' m so glad you reviewed this foundation, I was considering trying it but I have cool undertones so I don't think the shades would work for me. What is the lipstick you are wearing? I love the color!
Hi Karen! You are so sweet. 🌸 I just bought this lipstick palette from Target that I absolutely LOVE. (I'll leave the link below!) It's made by Pixi, and it's the "Louise Row" Palette. I started with the bottom left shade called, "Lady." And then I usually play around adding a little bit of the lighter colors until I have just the shade I want. I have been enjoying using the palette SO much though, for the price of one lipstick, I get a combo that I'm happy with each time I use it! 🥰 Thanks so much for watching! Have a great day! ❤️

Shoot! So sorry, for some reason it's not allowing me to link it. You should be able to find it very easily on Target.com, just search, "Pixi Louise Row" in the search bar. So sorry I was unable to link it! ❤️
Great review and you look so pretty! Thank you for the demo.
Hi Lauretta! 🤗 Thanks so much for watching! ( and your sweet comment! ) 🥰
Just subscribed. Wanted to see this go up against Sneaky Balm and Jones Road
Hi Carol! 🤗 Welcome! Thank you so much for watching, subbing, and commenting!❤️ I haven't had the chance to try the Jones Road just yet, but I have reviewed the Salt NY Sneaky Balm and absolutely LOVED it!! (If you'd like to see it in action, I have a video whose title is: I ❤️ This Foundation ... that's the Sneaky Balm one.) Oh and my friend Shelly (her channel is "Geek Out of Water" ) just reviewed the Jones Road if I'm not mistaken. She's a lovely woman who gives amazingly thorough reviews if you want to see one on the Jones Road right away! 🤗 Thanks again, and I hope you have a lovely day! 🌸
This foundation looks so pretty on you! Can I ask you what lip color you're wearing? Thank you!
Hi M M! Thank you so much for your sweet comment! 🥰 I'm wearing a lipstick palette from Target that I absolutely LOVE. It's made by Pixi, and it's the "Louise Row" Palette.

@@foundationlady Oh, I'm going to look for this lipstick palette! Thank you so much ~ have a wonderful and blessed day!!!
@@MM-zc4tt Oh I'm so glad you're gonna look for it! 🥰 I hope you absolutely LOVE it!! I was just thinking about you, and our conversation about it as I was filming a video this afternoon and pulled it out to create my lip color! ❤ Blessings to you too!! 🙏🏻😇❤
@@foundationlady Thank you!!♥
I wasn't going to bother with this when I glanced at the shades at CVS. Then, I thought I'd give it a try after reading some mostly positive reviews. I bought the lightest shade. It looks OK, and it's not too greasy on me. It's good about not collecting in wrinkles and pores. But yeah, I'm bothered by the peachy tone. Like you, I was wondering why L'Oreal made these so orangey when they've always offered a variety of shade ranges. Salt NY makes a balm tint in a smallish shade range (12 for now), but all shades are on the neutral side. I have the lightest one, which is a perfect match, amazingly. It's probably not great for oily skin, and I'm not sure if I'll love it as much in the summer, but for the most part, I do like the way it brings my skin to life. It comes in pans that you need to place in a magnetic pallet. One pan is $16. They offer a bundle that includes a pallet and your choice of four balms. I went that route because I wanted to try their blush-lip tints, which are beautiful. I will continue to wear my L'Oreal balm on more casual days. It looks great on you, not too orange. I didn't notice mine oxidizing that much.
Hi Elizabeth! Thanks so much for the info, I'm definitely going to check out the Salt NY balm tint! I don't recall hearing of them before... I always get excited to find out about a new brand though! 😊 Also, don't know if it will help, but one of my subs mentioned that the L'OREAL balm in 20 "Light" had a good cool undertone to it... if you are interested. (Of course it sounds like your Salt ones are more to your preference, they sound AMAZING! But just in case, I though I'd pass it along.) Thanks so much for watching and commenting! ❤️
I just put in an order for Salt NY! I'm so excited for it to get here! Thanks for the tip! ❤️
Cool! Salt NY is an independent company. Completely hands-on. I wore her Sneaky Balm today in the heat (Southern CA) and it held up well. Better than liquid foundations. I was surprised. Looking forward to you receiving it!
@@elizabethbarrow3801 I'm really excited to try it. I absolutely love their idea for the packaging (palettes) too.
PS my hubby and I lived in SoCal for about 3 years. It's so beautiful there (and I miss In n' Out!) 😂
Fair 10 or fair 20 is more pink neutral but the light has more yellow. I am going to try fair 20 see how it goes.
Oh I hope it's a perfect match! 🙏🏻 It's such a good foundation! ❤️ I'm curious to hear how you like Fair 20. 🤗
Your review is amazing - love all your details - so professional and I especially like it when you brought the camera close to your skin - nobody does that - can you recommend a medium foundation with no smell as I am severely allergic to perfume - Cheers from Canada 🍁
Hi Marnelle! 🤗 Thanks so much for the sweet comment! ❤ I'd love to help you find a medium coverage foundation with no fragrance! First let me ask... do you like a more matte or dewy finish? And also what is your skin type (dry, oily, or combo?) Oh and by the way, I LOVE Canada!! 🥰 My hubby has taken me about 4 times now, and I just love it more and more each time we go there! 🌸
@@foundationlady That's so great that you were able to visit us in the north - what part did you visit - so much of Canada I still have yet to see - for the foundation I still get breakouts due to hormones as I am now 61 - I would say the T-zone is oily, especially the nose - I definitely like matte finish and always finish with powder so if you can recommend a powder too, that would be great - the only foundation I have been able to find and use is Marcelle, natural beige and nude beige that I mix together - I find the coverage not the best but it spreads great - I also use 'Marcelle 2-in-1 foundation and concealer' which has better coverage but harder to spread because it is thicker - since I am now older, there are more lines, so I guess the makeup settles different than when I was younger - any suggestions were be great, especially no smell, great coverage and for mature skin - you have your work cut out for ya, but truly grateful and I so appreciate you getting back to me - thank you
@@MSGC55 I'm sorry to just be responding! ❤ I have a bit of time tomorrow , so I'm going to hunt through my collection and see if I can come up with a few ideas that fit your skin type / preferences. 😊 And as far as my travels to Canada, My hubby has taken me several times to Toronto (usually for my birthdays!) We love to go up and see a show, and I LOVE shopping at the big SEPHORA in Eaton Centre! 😍 I'm really hoping to see more of Canada. Especially Prince Edward Island (big Anne of Green Gables Fan!) 🇨🇦
@@foundationlady Thanks for getting back to me - I knew you had probably gotten busy and I very much appreciate you still taking the time to give me suggestions - so glad you had a great visit in T.O. and enjoyed your time at Sephora - I would love to get out East one day - many of my friends love it out there and especially the people are simply amazing - maybe you heard of the musical and the movie, You Are Here - A Come From Away Story in Newfoundland - if not familiar you should Google the story - anyways, you take as much time as you need - there certainly is no rush - talk soon - Cheers - PS - I too Loved Anne of Green Gables with Megan Follows and love interest Jonathan Crombie - Jonathan lived a block away from my childhood home and I knew his beautiful Mom and Dad - sadly Jonathan died in 2015, such a lovely young man - was it that series that you loved and enjoyed or was it with another actress 😊
@@MSGC55 WHAAAAT???!!! I cannot believe you lived down the street from Jonathan Crombie!!! 😍 That was definitely the Anne of Green Gables version I grew up watching, and I was soooo in love with Gil! He was a childhood crush, and I was so sad to hear of his passing. He was so young, how devastating that must’ve been for his friends and family. Thank you so much for sharing your story with me, about your parents living down the street!
❤
Ok so I’ve been researching and playing around with medium coverage, matte, NO fragrance foundations!
So my first suggestion would be the KOSAS Revealer-Skin Improving Foundation. It’s not only fragrance free, but it has clean ingredients and a really beautiful finish. (I have a video on it if you want to see it in action… It’s Titled, “Revealing the New Kosas…”) It’s available at Sephora, and they have several shades to choose from. My suggestion of course would be to get a free sample at Sephora first, or at least save your receipt in case you don’t like it…. but it’s been very well received, so I’m hoping it will work beautifully for you too! (Also, I haven’t tried it myself but several of my viewers have RAVED to me about the KOSAS pressed cloud powder, and the KOSAS concealer (if you’re looking for accompaniments to your foundation.)
As far as drugstore foundations go… I have tried several No 7 foundations and have really enjoyed them. Bonus: all of these are fragrance free, AND No 7 has a guarantee on its website where you can get your money back if you don’t like it! So the first one I would suggest is my personal favorite from them... The No 7 Restore and Renew Foundation (it has the white bottle top.) OR The No. 7 “Lift and Luminate foundation (which has the black top…)
Just a warning: The “Restore and Renew” (white top ) has a bit more of radiant finish than the “Lift and Luminate” (black top) which is a bit more matte. I have a video comparing the two of these foundations side by side if you are interested… It’s titled: “Testing out the NEW No 7 Serum Foundations”
Also from No. 7 is the “Protect and Perfect Advanced” (green tube) This one is great because it has a high SPF, but I found it to be just a touch matte for me personally, however it might be perfect for your skin needs (since you mentioned an oily T-zone.) Also have a video on it titled, “Testing the Old and New No 7 Protect and Perfect..”
I love that No 7 has really good shade options, and additionally (I’ve not tried) but have heard really great things about the No 7. “Lift and Luminate” pressed powder.
I hope this helps! ❤I’d love to hear if you decide to try any of them out, and if so, how they work for you! Have a great week!
🤗🌸
Great review, very thorough. The instructions clearly say to apply with fingers. Why are all the youtubers using brushes and sponges? That’s going to affect the results.
You bring up an EXCELLENT point my friend! ❤️
Do you like this or the JOAH bb cream best?
Both are good, but I'd have to say JOAH BB is the winner out of these two for me. 😊 ❤️
It looks gorgeous on you
Thank you so much! ❤️ That is so kind of you! 🤗
I love your videos! Question for you: what is your absolute favorite/holy grail foundation? You can only pick 1 😛
OMG!!!!! 😂 I can't even! LOL I sat here and read your comment....then I mentally went through my foundations.... then I looked in my foundation drawer.... and then I came to the conclusion that I just COULDN'T decide ! 🤣 But maybe I need to try to do video on that?? Like, try to at least narrow it down to the HG worthy ones?? Of course I have to ask YOU now... what's your HG??? 🥰 (and thanks for your comment! It made me smile for sure!) ❤️
@@foundationlady - mine is a no-no on utube: a mlm brand that everyone I follow does not support- Mary Kay Timewise luminous. I'll be 55 this summer and I keep buying/trying a lot of foundations- I haven't found one that works and makes my skin look great except that one. I keep trying though lol!
@@KimmboV I had a friend that used to use Timewise and absolutely loved it! If it works for you, that's great! But if you need a backup, hopefully I'll stumble across one soon you might like and make a video of it! ❤️🥰 Thanks for sharing your HG with me! 🌸
Did you have to powder? I dont like using powder but i do use setting spray
Ok. Since I first commented I got it and I am loving it. I do use concealer to cover areas but I love the youthful lit within glow. Ty!
Thank you for your patience! 😊 I wanted to make sure I re-tested the formula before responding to your question... I definitely think you can get away with just using a setting spray on top, instead of powder with this one (especially if you have normal to dryish skin...) You'll want to go in with a very light touch of the spray though, because too much water (or liquid) on this one can possibly cause a bit of patchiness.) The balm goes on very creamy feeling, but it does dry down within a few minutes. I hope this helps! ❤️ 🤗
@@foundationlady ty so much
@@nj_1970 my pleasure!
I’ve tried three of the fairest shades and nothing works for me. They all look like a bad fake tan.
Oh I'm so sorry... My fingers are crossed that they'll eventually come out with some more pale shades for us fair-skinned makeup lovers! 🙏🏻 Thanks so much for letting me know your experience with it though! I really appreciate it! ❤
Great video!! Thank you!
Thank you so much Melissa! ❤️😊
Just found you- subbed 🙂🙂🙌🏻
Hi Mary! I'm so glad you're here! ❤️ Thanks for subbing! 🤗
Its nice but too orange and dark for me.
yessssss! 😕 I was SO hoping they would expand upon the shade range and include some neutral undertones, but so far... no luck! Here's hoping they do so eventually! 🙏🏻 Thanks so much for your comment! ❤️ Have a beautiful day!! 🤗
Oh wow, that shade looked like apricot jelly! Once blended out, it wasn't that bad, but not a great shadematch. Seems a rather impossible task, with only 8 shades.
It did look very lovely on you, and I loved that lipcolor on you!
What are you going to give away? Oeh, is it going to be Norm? Then count me in!
Haha! It won't be little Normie... but he may put on his bow tie and come present the giveaway with me! 🥰 And thanks about the lip color! I've been enjoying using a lip palette lately so I can just mix and blend until I find a shade I like! 😊❤️
The very lightest shade (I think Fair 10) is still dark for me and I felt it oxidized as well… maybe 1/2 a shade. I do like the texture but the color is just not right.
Oh how I empathize! ❤️ I'm hoping it will do well so they will expand their shade range on this one! Thanks so much for watching and commenting Marianne! Have a wonderful weekend! ❤️
Wanted to try this but the colors were awful
Yes!! I was so hoping they would add some "in between" shades that had some more neutral undertones! (actually I'm secretly still hoping! 😁) Thanks so much for your comment, and have a beautiful weekend Pamela! 🌺
I notice that most of your videos range around 5 minutes. I’d call these shorts too.
Why don’t you include an all day wear test so we can learn of the performance of the makeup?
Not just the initial application, which is what you seem to only do.
Thanks for your thoughtful feedback! 😊
@@foundationlady again, why don’t you include a wear test??
They all look nice when 1st applied.
You’d get more viewers too.
