I got the Stila one and oh boy! It actually frickin' WORKS! Does not accentuate my pores, actually fills them IN, matte without being flat, and rarest of all, a really good color match to my undertones. FAVE!!!
I had the exact opposite experience with this. Kind of goes to show that everyone is different. I am 53 with dry flaky skin. This one doesn't accent those flakes and my lines. The extra luminosity makes me look more healthy and less dry./. I don't even really have to powder. I have found that a little goes a long way. More is not better with this one for me.
I also have dry skin but not young enough that I want the luminosity to highlight all of the little unattractive problems which have come with age for me. But tempting since others w dry skin got good results.
A Sephora associate chose this foundation for me in 315N during the sale. I didn’t realize it was a “luminous” foundation. I squirt a small pump of this into my CT Wonderglow and use a brush to buff it in then finish up with a beauty blender. I have received three random compliments from strangers on my skin in the last week. 😳😄👍🏽 What the heck? I’m all in! I’m 52 with combo skin.
Wow, that's great! I just watched a professional MUA on here do a mature woman's makeup, he used this and she looked wonderful! So being on a budget I looked up dupes. Drugstore dupe is NYX Professional Makeup Born to Glow Naturally for $10, Pampered Wolf says that but so does google lol. I think I might try that one first.
I am 75 years young and I absolutely am LOVING this foundation! It sets beautifully on my mature skin ….just a few lines but not a lot. They got it with this one!!
Angie, you're the only TH-camr I know that checks her complexion products on a 15X mirror. So, when you like a foundation and say that it looks skin like, I believe it!😅 I cannot thank you enough! Have a blessed weekend! Besos 💗
This is my holy grail foundation. I have tried many foundations and this one is the best for me. It goes on beautifully with a brush. Makes my skin glow without being oily.Everyones skin is different. So you can’t always tell by someone’s review for your skin. Women should try this one!
You know that you are the only one who sees that “ less than perfect skin” you keep mentioning You are absolutely gorgeous and so is your skin- with or without the perfect makeup What you are doing is definitely working
The luminous quality makes for the ‘sweaty’ look. I love knowing that it settles into wrinkles because I avoid those types of foundation. Thanks for the review! Saves on so many levels ❤️
🙋🏼♀️dry skinned girl here and love the luminous foundation, especially in winter. I envy the ladies that have some oil on their skin. I thought it looked incredible on you.
I am 73 years old with dry skin. Every time I tried this foundation it settled in every pore and wrinkle. Needless to say it went back. Thanks for the review.
Love your channel! I have a hard time finding foundations that I like for my 67 yr old sort of combo skin (tretinoin) but the Stila hide and Chic works great for me. I wouldn’t have discovered it on my own so thank you for that review!
Everyone is different that’s for sure! This has become my go to foundation. I’m 65 and have normal to dry skin and I just love the glow this foundation gives and I’ve never had an issue with settling in my fine lines.
I was so interested in seeing the colors that you demoed on your skin to compare color. They were so different in the undertones but obviously look great in your skin. I’d love to see that kind of a demo in new foundations you compare.
Do NOT hesitate, Angie - Vivace is the bomb. Best skincare money I’ve ever spent aside from the regular Botox/fillers...absolutely no downtime and huge results in skin texture. This is the only treatment I get where my husband actually has noticed a positive difference. He couldn’t really say exactly what was different but he just said my skin looks amazing. I hardly need to wear any foundation at all these days!
I am currently doing microneedling (Dermapen). I purchased six and have done 2...it's been a game changer for me...my skin texture just keeps improving!! I am also seeing a glow and plumpness I haven't seen in years...There is hardly any down time...go for it! I am also swearing by SKII Essence...it's done so much for my skin texture, breakouts, tone....I am finding I cannot live without it...it's pretty much replaced all my other serums.
Yep too luminous for me. I received my Stila Hide n chic foundation yesterday & it's everything you said it is in your review! Feel so lucky to have found your channel as the struggle is real as we mature & you help all of us so much. Thanks!
I have to say that I really appreciate the rigorous test you put foundations through. You really go all out to give a thorough and honest opinion of the product. I don't know anyone else that goes to these lengths. Thank you. As for luminous foundations, I have made it a point to never buy anymore, no matter what brand. They just make a mature female look OLD. They show every nook and cranny and if you have any wrinkles at all, they better run! Thank you so much for the effort you put into your reviews! ❤
I have had Morpheus8 and Venus Viva and would recommend Viva over M8 for pore and texture concerns. I saw no change in my surface skin texture or pore size after M8 treatments but after Viva my skin glows and pores and texture are significantly better.
You look gorgeous in it, as you do in almost everything you try! I have this foundation, and I'm SO torn about it. I don't often purchase foundations that are THIS luminous/shiny, because I prefer more natural skin finishes. BUT, I cannot decide if I love it or not. It looks good, but I'm not used to being so shiny. My husband says it looks great, though! lol. I DO use a mattifying primer, make sure to powder it, and avoid any obvious highlight while wearing it.
I recently had a Sephora makeover and this foundation was used. I’ve stuck with the Chanel for years and so I was quite shocked at how aging the ABH foundation was on me. Thank goodness for your reviews!
You will be your own worst critic but I honestly think it’s looks lovely on you. You’re glowing and look healthy with this foundation. Thank you for sharing ❤
M.J.P., I was just looking online at that, I think it must be the same: "WinterBlend face and body foundation"? It's very very light coverage, watery formula, much like MAC face and body, only I think MAC might initially have more of a glow, but all those types seem flattering to mature, (really mature☺) skin.. They Don't show up the texture so much. I'm also very interested in the Glossier tinted formula, the lightest coverage of all, not even "coverage" by many ppl's standards. But I don't need to cover anything, need a base for other things I want to wear over it like cream blush, (someone needs to find a thin watery concealer, bc those all seem full of silicone too!) LMK if you know of a concealer that isn't thick, stiff, and hugs lines, showing every one of them up... PLEASE! 🌝
I have to thank you for the Stila foundation recommendation. I could not use the Chanel Perfection foundation because the perfume gave me a horrible headache and I was so bummed because it was so beautiful on BUT MOVE OVER CHANEL....you been one upped by a just as beautiful foundation with NO PERFUME!!!!! Thanks again Angie for making my life so much easier!
I the only 2 thing I got @ the Sephora VIP sale Stila & Sephora makeup from your recommendation. I have used the Stila for one day & I'm in love with it. Thank you Angie for your recommendation I would've probably never looked into it.
Hi Angie! Love all your videos! I’ve been loving the Stila hide and chic foundation! It’s wonderful. I think I actually enjoy it more than the Chanel now! I also like the Anastasia Foundation as well. I don’t find it to be all that luminous in my dry skin over sunscreen either! Thanks for all the great foundation reviews! You are so enjoyable to watch! And I trust your opinion 100%!!!
Like you, I don't LOVE luminous foundations on my 56 year old skin, and rarely buy them. I think the luminosity or radiance accentuates any texture, instead of "blurring" it! Everything looks good on you, though - it's really a matter of what you feel most comfortable in. Love your reviews!
I had a similar experience with this on my 53-year-old normal/combo skin. But on me, I thought it looked beautiful when I applied it, but it just didn’t last long at all. I need something to last an entire 10-11 hour workday. I’m going to try the Stila.
I was not familiar with the Anastasia brand until an Ulta associate recommended Anastasia ballet pink eye shadow when my go to was discontinued. It is perfect & I love the fact that I can purchase the single color without an entire pallet going to waste.
C James I would also love to see a review on this one, a Sephora person highly recommended the hydrating Fenty foundation so I got a sample and it looks and feels pretty good!
For those of us with dry skin I just watched a MUA apply this to an older woman, beautiful. Drugstore dupe is NYX Professional Makeup Born to Glow Naturally for $10, Pampered Wolf says that but so does google lol. I think it looks very nice on you actually. Thx Angie!!
Thanks so much, Angie. I am your age and live in Australia, so similar sun damage. My holy grail is the same Chanel as yours. I’d love you to test out the Chanel aqua version, Surrat Dewdrop and RMS Uncover Up. and especially Clarins Everlasting Youth fluid. xxxxx
I just viewed this video on my normal MAC, nothing HD, but I can really see this foundation sitting on your pores. That's the number one no-no I avoid in a foundation.
I have this foundation too. When I first started wearing it it appeared extremely shiney and I thought I made a big mistake buying it. I put it away for awhile and pulled it back out and I'm loving it! It definitely needs to be set with setting powder. I'm older than you so I really don't want to accentuate my lines or pores but it's working out. All I can say is give it a chance.
A ~ I love your reviews! You are a such a treasure and I give your product testing high marks for helping us navigate products. I always take a look and listen to see what you say!
Have you ever tried the Drunk Elephant dbronzi? I just bought some. It mixes with moisturizer or sunscreen. Not meant to be worn on its own. I think you would like it. So far so good for my sensitive mature skin
Hi Angie, another stellar review! For me, thanks to you, I’ll stick with Chanel. Love that stuff! I bought & tried the Stila foundation you reviewed & just returned it. It’s not for me. As always, many thanks to you for all you do!
Thank you so much for the review. I have been using this foundation but was having trouble getting past 5 or 6 hours. It was a great color match and not as luminous on me as it was on you. I was at the end of the bottle and it was time to decide if I should re-purchase. Knowing you couldn’t get the wear out of it either is a bummer. So I am trying Stila Hide and Chic instead. Thanks for your reviews. We are close in age and skin type and you have helped me tremendously over the years. I am a loyal fan.
It is so nice that you make an effort to show the product in the different environments. I am in NH and it is getting cold. Your viewers need to know how you freeze to keep it real..lol So many stay in front of their light ring which is not always the "real look". You sure do keep it real! Thank You.
I just got this foundation as a ad on with my ipsy bag for $10 w the purisse matcha green tea primer... I usually do not even use foundation except for maybe a Lil powder ... I personally LOVE it .. I'm oily combo skin .. I used that purlisse primer and the elf Matt putty primer in the center of my face finished with the elf Matt setting spray and it looked great like a natural finish due to the mattafying products
I’ve tried the Stila and the Sephora matte tinted moisturizer and gosh are they both skin like and work great on my dry skin! The Sephora is literally almost an exact dupe for the Chanel on me but without being drying. I have some new go to’s for these dry winter months, thank you! Oh and bonus, I have an exact color match in both of them! 🎉
I think it looked better once the powder went away. The powder seemed to make it look more make-up-y, but once the luminosity came back, it looked really fresh and pretty. But I do understand what you mean about not loving luminosity.
This would probably be a wonderful foundation for people with normal-dry skin who like a luminous finish. I thought it looked nice on you but I know how you feel regarding texture being accentuated by luminous foundations, I generally prefer a soft matte, satin or natural finish since my skin is pretty textured too & I don't always want to pile on powder.
I am deeming you a certified >50 MU foundation expert! I tried the Anastasia foundation as I had a run in with a wall with recovering red road rash I needed to cover. I've been waiting for you to do your feature on it. I completely agree with all of your findings! I found it to be most luminous outdoors and matte looking indoors. I am gonna be 65 and I normally wear tinted sunscreen or BB cream with a non glittery luminizer.
One and done with the Sephora tinted moisturizer. Color corrects without hiding freckles, feels like skin, doesn’t have those weird sparkles that the It cosmetics CC illuminating cream has. Nothing disguises 56 year old wrinkles (maybe spackle, the Home Depot brand) but the Sephora brand gives the old face a bit of polish.
Dear Angie....thank you so much for your time and advice.... I never know what to buy, waste money on things I don’t like or use. I did purchase the Stila foundation and absolutely love it! Another product I adore is by Mally Beauty...it’s called Evercolor Poreless Face Defender.....takes the place of powder and works even better! You should maybe try it!.....lots of ❤️
Thank you for recommending Sephora tinted moisturizer, love it, and it's a great alternative, price wise, to my beloved chanel velvet lumiere foundation. Sephora's foundation is my "everyday" and "no makeup day" foundation when I can look great but don't waste my pricier chanel which can go longer for me this way 🙂. Thank you again, Angy!
Thank you for the review. I seem to like most of the foundations that work on you. I love the Stila Hide & Chic and Sephora Matte perfection tinted moisturizer.
I'm so glad that, with all the foundations you slog through, you found one or two that you really, really like! I encourage you to try the No. 7 Match Made foundation drops - you can customize the coverage and mix with sunscreen, moisturizer, primer, etc. I'm inspired to test out the Stila. . . Thank you for all you do!
I tried this one back in the summer and it didn’t work then. Now that the temp has dropped I thought I might go back and get another sample. However, sine I loved how the Stila one looked on you I ordered that one so I will wait to see how the Stila looks on me. Great review Angie as always. 💖
You are absolutely right about Stilla. I got a sample of it and loved it on my skin. I do have combination skin and larger pores than yours. I also like the Sephora and Loreal True Match, all of which you recommended. Thanks to you. My demonologist recommended microneedling to treat my acne spot and help with wrinkles. I have not had time to do it. I wished I could tell you but it is on my list of to do things. Love your videos.
Angie, I had purchased the Anastasia foundation in shade 220N a month ago. Like you, I liked it but didn’t love it. You gave us a great description of the pros and cons. You are right about the waxy look. I was having difficulty in justifying why I didn’t like it. I am looking for my holy grail foundation. I am normal/dry skin so I like a dewy foundation instead of a matte foundation. This just wasn’t the one for me. You do an incredible job on your channel. Especially love 💕 your foundation Friday’s and your Nordstrom’s videos. It’s like having a personal shopper😁. Thank you.
As another gal with dry skin here, I just want to be sure I understood you. You are saying the Stila turned out to be better for hiding pores than many previous foundations? I need to hear it from someone with dry skin too----seems nearly everyone else still has oily skin even after age 55,🤔😣, and I can't buy so many foundations to try. Have to rely a bit on others' experiences-- don't worry, if it doesn't work out for me, I'll still be grateful for advice from someone with similar concerns & complexion. 👌🌝
I mix this foundation with L’Oréal fresh wear because I agree that it’s too dewy for me as well but my skin leans dryer. I’m going to put the Stila one on my wish list!
I got my Stila Hide and Chic the other day and don't think I'll be trying anything else for a while... it's just gorgeous! Thank you for that video! :)
Thanks, Angie! LORAC Sheer PoreFection Foundation is great for pores. Can't say it looks and performs better than everything else, but it's wonderful for people with sensitive/acne prone skin, which is really hard to find in a liquid foundation. (Make sure it's the sheer version.)
Another great review! I completely agree with every criticism you have about this foundation. You've saved me money, again, so I'll pass on this one and get the Stila foundation instead. Thank you so much for another honest and thorough review. I always look forward to your videos . They're always so well researched, informative and fun. xxoo❤
Angie, You were asking about something I have never heard of before! Have you done a TCA peel for your pores and texture? Not a major peel, but a minor one? I get them done every 3-4 months and it really helps!
You simply must review the La Mer foundation. It is hugely expensive but I have found it great on my skin. Doesn't settle, light to medium coverage, goes on like a dream without primer but with a blender sponge and lasts all day too.
I gave up on foundation a few years ago; it makes my not-bad skin look horrible. I still have fairly oily skin at 56, so foundation is a greasy mess within a few hours anyway. So I just use a tinted sunscreen (Paula's Choice currently) and powder (Bye Bye Pores). Still love your reviews though! Maybe I'll try one of your holy grails one of these days...
I bought this and the more I use it the less I like it. It’s so drying on my skin! I wind up mixing it with my Bye Bye Foundation from It Cosmetics and even then it’s just OK. I’m definitely going to try the Stila foundation thanks to your review!
I’ve done Vivace and Fraxel (which I know you’ve done also). I think you’ll feel like Vivace does less for you than Fraxel. Much less downtime, which is nice, but you need to do at least 3 sessions. I feel like every procedure helps a little in its own way but nothing has blown me away...probably because, short of a face lift, nothing can!
Just bought this foundation today. I don't know if you powder dewy foundations? I am going to give it a try...if I don't like it....going right back. XO
So ladies I have super dry skin I like luminous or dewy Does mature skin ladies like if dry skin? Thank you for your take Angie! I still think you looked beautiful 😘
I was logging on to make a comment to you and saw you had uploaded a video. I took your advice on the Lancôme Maquicomplet concealer. I am 56 and feel confident in my makeup knowledge Except undereye concealer as I get older! I use Shapetape and sometimes NARS, but was beginning to think it was just what I need to get use to looking like as I age But no! You are so right. What a difference. As soon as I put it on I was like “huh? This actually looks good !” Thank you thank you! I did put a bit of It setting powder on it and yes it looks great. Thanks again! Just went and bought the Stila but haven’t used it yet
I don’t really see enlarged pores and very few wrinkles on your skin. I have seen the polka dot pores in some makeup reviews . I think you do a lot of skin maintenance,and some is expensive and some isn’t. I am older than you and I have reached a point where I just want to look going. I have this foundation and I don’t feel it makes me look shiny, but I always powder , and then use setting spray. Thank you for all your testing as I know it takes a lot of time and that’s why I ALWAYS watch your reviews. Thanks 😊
I got the Stila one and oh boy! It actually frickin' WORKS! Does not accentuate my pores, actually fills them IN, matte without being flat, and rarest of all, a really good color match to my undertones. FAVE!!!
Isn't it amazing? I just love it & I'm so happy you do too!! xo ~a.
@@AngieHotandFlashy if you must choose one , so which one, Stilla hide n chick or Chanel? Your reply really matters.
I too LOVE the Stila Hide & Chic. Works great on my 49 yo combo/oily T skin.
Me too! Thanks Angie 😘❤️
Did you find the coverage good? I was considering this brand.
I love this foundation every time she doesn't like a foundation it is great for me
I had the exact opposite experience with this. Kind of goes to show that everyone is different. I am 53 with dry flaky skin. This one doesn't accent those flakes and my lines. The extra luminosity makes me look more healthy and less dry./. I don't even really have to powder. I have found that a little goes a long way. More is not better with this one for me.
This is great to read, as my skin is very dry, also. Luminous foundation is 'my' kind of foundation😄
@@ceciliajohnson8812 Do you mean it doesn't look so oily as on Angie?
I have dry skin and need a a healthy glow too..
I also have dry skin but not young enough that I want the luminosity to highlight all of the little unattractive problems which have come with age for me. But tempting since others w dry skin got good results.
Sounds like I should try this one
Very dry skin
I need dewy 🥰
I am 50 and I love this foundation! Foundation is so personal due to everyone's skin being different. This is one I am in love with -!!!!

It goes on beautifully with a brush. Makes my skin glow without being oily.Everyones skin is different.
So you can’t always tell by someone’s review for your skin. Women should try this one!
You know that you are the only one who sees that “ less than perfect skin” you keep mentioning
You are absolutely gorgeous and so is your skin- with or without the perfect makeup
What you are doing is definitely working
HappilyHealthFull I wish I had that ”less than perfect skin” 😉
The luminous quality makes for the ‘sweaty’ look. I love knowing that it settles into wrinkles because I avoid those types of foundation.

🙋🏼♀️dry skinned girl here and love the luminous foundation, especially in winter. I envy the ladies that have some oil on their skin. I thought it looked incredible on you.
I felt so all over the place on this one... "I love it!, I hate it" but definitely can see it being great for dry skin!
I'm obsessed with this foundation doesnt settle in my lines wears all day and looks like perfected skin. 🥰
Truly the best review-type video of any make up that I have seen. Very in-depth and I love the camera angles and split screens. Excellent. Thank you.
I am 73 years old with dry skin. Every time I tried this foundation it settled in every pore and wrinkle. Needless to say it went back. Thanks for the review.
I’m 66 and it did the exact same thing, thank goodness I had a sample from Sephora.
Have you found a go to fountain that you love? I’ve been trying many different ones lately and haven’t found the one yet.

Thank you for that intel. I will look into that.🎀🧸
Oooweee awesome! I use the 50 spf tinted formula. Thanks Rainmom 😉🤗

Oh and for wrinkles try applying a collagen filler before you put your make up on.
Thank you for trying this foundation. I have been curious. I’m not a fan of luminous foundations either. You saved me some money! 😁
Angie I a really appreciate your reviews, I love how you zoom in and test foundations in natural light. Thank you!!!

I have the “too small to read it” shade also 😂
I chuckled ..
I’m am loving the Stila foundation too! I have dry skin except my nose and the Stila has been lovely for me. I like a light natural finish 😊
Hi Angie! Love all your videos! I’ve been loving the Stila hide and chic foundation! It’s wonderful. I think I actually enjoy it more than the Chanel now! I also like the Anastasia Foundation as well. I don’t find it to be all that luminous in my dry skin over sunscreen either! Thanks for all the great foundation reviews! You are so enjoyable to watch! And I trust your opinion 100%!!!
Does anyone else start to dread the end Angie’s video midway through? I could watch her videos all day! 🤗
I bought the stila foundation at Nordstrom on sale and LOVE it. My new holy grail. Thx !!!!
Yay!! So happy you LOVE it too!

Thanks so much, Angie. I am your age and live in Australia, so similar sun damage. My holy grail is the same Chanel as yours. I’d love you to test out the Chanel aqua version, Surrat Dewdrop and RMS Uncover Up. and especially Clarins Everlasting Youth fluid. xxxxx
I just viewed this video on my normal MAC, nothing HD, but I can really see this foundation sitting on your pores. That's the number one no-no I avoid in a foundation.
I bought the Stila after your review and LOVE it! I’m older than you and it looked really good. Thanks for the tip! ❤️
I have this foundation too. When I first started wearing it it appeared extremely shiney and I thought I made a big mistake buying it. I put it away for awhile and pulled it back out and I'm loving it! It definitely needs to be set with setting powder. I'm older than you so I really don't want to accentuate my lines or pores but it's working out. All I can say is give it a chance.
A ~ I love your reviews! You are a such a treasure and I give your product testing high marks for helping us navigate products. I always take a look and listen to see what you say!
Have you ever tried the Drunk Elephant dbronzi? I just bought some. It mixes with moisturizer or sunscreen. Not meant to be worn on its own. I think you would like it. So far so good for my sensitive mature skin
Sherry G I love it!
Hi Angie, another stellar review! For me, thanks to you, I’ll stick with Chanel. Love that stuff! I bought & tried the Stila foundation you reviewed & just returned it. It’s not for me. As always, many thanks to you for all you do!
Thank you so much for the review. I have been using this foundation but was having trouble getting past 5 or 6 hours. It was a great color match and not as luminous on me as it was on you. I was at the end of the bottle and it was time to decide if I should re-purchase. Knowing you couldn’t get the wear out of it either is a bummer. So I am trying Stila Hide and Chic instead. Thanks for your reviews. We are close in age and skin type and you have helped me tremendously over the years. I am a loyal fan.
You should try the fenty hydrating one if you haven’t yet. I have combo skin with some wrinkles, and I surprisingly loved it.
Kaila Kachuik I am also trying this one, it was recommended at Sephora and it feels great. Great color selection as well
It is so nice that you make an effort to show the product in the different environments. I am in NH and it is getting cold. Your viewers need to know how you freeze to keep it real..lol
So many stay in front of their light ring which is not always the "real look". You sure do keep it real! Thank You.
You looked adorable on your little make up day. Thank you for being you. I'm a huge fan.
I like the Stila foundation. I bought it after your review last week. Thank you for being the guinea pig.
I just got this foundation as a ad on with my ipsy bag for $10 w the purisse matcha green tea primer... I usually do not even use foundation except for maybe a Lil powder ... I personally LOVE it .. I'm oily combo skin .. I used that purlisse primer and the elf Matt putty primer in the center of my face finished with the elf Matt setting spray and it looked great like a natural finish due to the mattafying products
It looks very good on you!! You look more fresh and much more smooth than most of your other foundations!!!
I’ve tried the Stila and the Sephora matte tinted moisturizer and gosh are they both skin like and work great on my dry skin! The Sephora is literally almost an exact dupe for the Chanel on me but without being drying. I have some new go to’s for these dry winter months, thank you!
Oh and bonus, I have an exact color match in both of them! 🎉
I think it looked better once the powder went away. The powder seemed to make it look more make-up-y, but once the luminosity came back, it looked really fresh and pretty. But I do understand what you mean about not loving luminosity.
This would probably be a wonderful foundation for people with normal-dry skin who like a luminous finish. I thought it looked nice on you but I know how you feel regarding texture being accentuated by luminous foundations, I generally prefer a soft matte, satin or natural finish since my skin is pretty textured too & I don't always want to pile on powder.
Try using the foundation with a brush not a blender. Use a small amount and stretch it as much as possible. I think you might see a different result
I am deeming you a certified >50 MU foundation expert! I tried the Anastasia foundation as I had a run in with a wall with recovering red road rash I needed to cover. I've been waiting for you to do your feature on it. I completely agree with all of your findings! I found it to be most luminous outdoors and matte looking indoors. I am gonna be 65 and I normally wear tinted sunscreen or BB cream with a non glittery luminizer.
One and done with the Sephora tinted moisturizer. Color corrects without hiding freckles, feels like skin, doesn’t have those weird sparkles that the It cosmetics CC illuminating cream has. Nothing disguises 56 year old wrinkles (maybe spackle, the Home Depot brand) but the Sephora brand gives the old face a bit of polish.
Dear Angie....thank you so much for your time and advice.... I never know what to buy, waste money on things I don’t like or use. I did purchase the Stila foundation and absolutely love it! Another product I adore is by Mally Beauty...it’s called Evercolor Poreless Face Defender.....takes the place of powder and works even better! You should maybe try it!.....lots of ❤️
Thank you for recommending Sephora tinted moisturizer, love it, and it's a great alternative, price wise, to my beloved chanel velvet lumiere foundation. Sephora's foundation is my "everyday" and "no makeup day" foundation when I can look great but don't waste my pricier chanel which can go longer for me this way 🙂. Thank you again, Angy!
Great review Angie! You are always so thorough!
Thank you for the review. I seem to like most of the foundations that work on you. I love the Stila Hide & Chic and Sephora Matte perfection tinted moisturizer.
They are both awesome!!
I just bought the Stila foundation and I love it. I’m 51 and have very fair, dry skin.
For a luminous foundation, it seemed to wear impressively well (over mineral sunscreen).
I'm so glad that, with all the foundations you slog through, you found one or two that you really, really like! I encourage you to try the No. 7 Match Made foundation drops - you can customize the coverage and mix with sunscreen, moisturizer, primer, etc. I'm inspired to test out the Stila. . . Thank you for all you do!
I tried this one back in the summer and it didn’t work then. Now that the temp has dropped I thought I might go back and get another sample. However, sine I loved how the Stila one looked on you I ordered that one so I will wait to see how the Stila looks on me. Great review Angie as always. 💖
You are absolutely right about Stilla. I got a sample of it and loved it on my skin. I do have combination skin and larger pores than yours. I also like the Sephora and Loreal True Match, all of which you recommended. Thanks to you. My demonologist recommended microneedling to treat my acne spot and help with wrinkles. I have not had time to do it. I wished I could tell you but it is on my list of to do things. Love your videos.
Angie, I had purchased the Anastasia foundation in shade 220N a month ago. Like you, I liked it but didn’t love it. You gave us a great description of the pros and cons. You are right about the waxy look. I was having difficulty in justifying why I didn’t like it. I am looking for my holy grail foundation. I am normal/dry skin so I like a dewy foundation instead of a matte foundation. This just wasn’t the one for me. You do an incredible job on your channel. Especially love 💕 your foundation Friday’s and your Nordstrom’s videos. It’s like having a personal shopper😁. Thank you.
I've been watching your videos for sometime now didn't know I hadn't subscribed. Great videos for women over 50. I'm 53 ☺
You have bee raving about the Chanel foundation forever!! I never thought anything would ever top it.
Thanks Angie! I love your foundation Friday’s! This foundation is my new fave❤️
I purchased this Stila due to your rec and love it! I have dry skin with enlarged pores in my t-zone. This does not give me those dreaded pore dots.💕
As another gal with dry skin here, I just want to be sure I understood you. You are saying the Stila turned out to be better for hiding pores than many previous foundations? I need to hear it from someone with dry skin too----seems nearly everyone else still has oily skin even after age 55,🤔😣, and I can't buy so many foundations to try. Have to rely a bit on others' experiences-- don't worry, if it doesn't work out for me, I'll still be grateful for advice from someone with similar concerns & complexion. 👌🌝
I mix this foundation with L’Oréal fresh wear because I agree that it’s too dewy for me as well but my skin leans dryer. I’m going to put the Stila one on my wish list!
omg it looks so good on you!
I don't get luminous foundations, not just on you, but every review of these type of foundations just make people look sweaty.
I like to look dewy. Not shiny reflective. 😀 same problem I have with many highlighters.
Very informative video, especially with varying light!
I got my Stila Hide and Chic the other day and don't think I'll be trying anything else for a while... it's just gorgeous! Thank you for that video! :)
Yay! So happy you like it!!
Not so much...won't be trying this one Ang. Really appreciate you being brave and testing all these foundations for us!
Thanks, Angie! LORAC Sheer PoreFection Foundation is great for pores. Can't say it looks and performs better than everything else, but it's wonderful for people with sensitive/acne prone skin, which is really hard to find in a liquid foundation. (Make sure it's the sheer version.)
Another great review! I completely agree with every criticism you have about this foundation. You've saved me money, again, so I'll pass on this one and get the Stila foundation instead. Thank you so much for another honest and thorough review. I always look forward to your videos . They're always so well researched, informative and fun. xxoo❤
Angie, You were asking about something I have never heard of before! Have you done a TCA peel for your pores and texture? Not a major peel, but a minor one? I get them done every 3-4 months and it really helps!
Chanel's color match is amazing but that is an arm swatch. You look amazing! On camera it looks great! ♥️
Haha! The too-small type on the lipstick... I can totally identify!
You simply must review the La Mer foundation. It is hugely expensive but I have found it great on my skin. Doesn't settle, light to medium coverage, goes on like a dream without primer but with a blender sponge and lasts all day too.

I gave up on foundation a few years ago; it makes my not-bad skin look horrible. I still have fairly oily skin at 56, so foundation is a greasy mess within a few hours anyway. So I just use a tinted sunscreen (Paula's Choice currently) and powder (Bye Bye Pores). Still love your reviews though! Maybe I'll try one of your holy grails one of these days...
I will try this one as I have dry skin and luminous foundations work for me. I love Anastasia products in general.
I think this will work great on your skin!!
I bought this and the more I use it the less I like it. It’s so drying on my skin! I wind up mixing it with my Bye Bye Foundation from It Cosmetics and even then it’s just OK. I’m definitely going to try the Stila foundation thanks to your review!
I’ve done Vivace and Fraxel (which I know you’ve done also). I think you’ll feel like Vivace does less for you than Fraxel. Much less downtime, which is nice, but you need to do at least 3 sessions. I feel like every procedure helps a little in its own way but nothing has blown me away...probably because, short of a face lift, nothing can!
I’m 38 and I love ur videos and trust ur reviews keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Just bought this foundation today. I don't know if you powder dewy foundations? I am going to give it a try...if I don't like it....going right back. XO
So ladies
I have super dry skin
I like luminous or dewy
Does mature skin ladies like if dry skin?
Thank you for your take Angie!
I still think you looked beautiful 😘
WOW, I must have very dry skin. My experience with this one is fantastic.
Do you think the Stila Hide & Chic foundation would suit my skin? 💗💗💗
I think it would!
@@AngieHotandFlashy Oooo, thank you, xx
I was logging on to make a comment to you and saw you had uploaded a video. I took your advice on the Lancôme Maquicomplet concealer. I am 56 and feel confident in my makeup knowledge Except undereye concealer as I get older! I use Shapetape and sometimes NARS, but was beginning to think it was just what I need to get use to looking like as I age But no! You are so right. What a difference. As soon as I put it on I was like “huh? This actually looks good !” Thank you thank you! I did put a bit of It setting powder on it and yes it looks great. Thanks again! Just went and bought the Stila but haven’t used it yet
That's awesome Patty!! I'm so happy you like the concealer! xo ~a.
I don’t really see enlarged pores and very few wrinkles on your skin. I have seen the polka dot pores in some makeup reviews . I think you do a lot of skin maintenance,and some is expensive and some isn’t. I am older than you and I have reached a point where I just want to look going. I have this foundation and I don’t feel it makes me look shiny, but I always powder , and then use setting spray. Thank you for all your testing as I know it takes a lot of time and that’s why I ALWAYS watch your reviews. Thanks 😊
Try a salicylic acid peel for your pores! And fibroblast for other texture. Both work like a charm! :)
