I LOVE the Wet and Wild tinted hydrator. I wear it over mineral sunscreen, which acts as a primer. I'm 60, with dry-ish smooth skin. I'm a teacher, and the coverage lasts from 7:30am to 4:00pm with minimal fading.
Drugstore makeup was so terrible in the 90s…these days it’s so competitive it’s like a different world. I’m in love with so many affordable items from brands I never thought I’d like, including that Wet n Wild. With all these big companies buying out all these luxury brands the line between luxury and drugstore is blurring. Exciting times.
Amen to that Andrea ! Although I must say the brands like Wet and Wild, etc still make me cautious because of the quality back in the day. I need to go for broke and give em a whirl.. my nervousness of how sensitive my skin has become from 17 to 52 has me a little wonky. Especially since I just got over a horrible eye infection I got from a new mascara in my Allure beauty box🤦🏽♀️ omg girl the pain was ridiculous and it was supposed to be a "clean brand" (Blinc.. buyer beware!)
I know, I wore cover girl on middle School because that’s what everyone else was wearing and I could afford it on my allowance. It was so terrible for your skin back then, but cover girl seems like it’s stepped up their game since the early 90s.
On your review, I got the L'oreal True Match Nude and I'm so glad I did! I am 47 with visible pores and the wrinkles are getting a bit more noticeable and this foundation was so flattering! Thank you for reviewing this!! Also. I found it at Wal-Mart with all shades available and it was only $14.99!
You truly are THE BEST at reviews and put A LOT of work Into them all. I appreciate that , and all you do. I Love watching all your videos. Never boring.
I completely agree with you. I would be devastated if they discontinue the tinted hydrator by wet and wild but I am falling in love with the L'Oreal tinted serum as well. They both on my two top tinted moisturizer and serums but I do wear because it gives me a sheer coverage, which I love and more of a natural look. Basically what I'm looking for is a my skin but better look and that's what they gave me and I love it
I absolutely love the L'oreal serum foundation. I've been using it for weeks now. I use my fingers to apply, I find that works best. I have super super oily skin, but it works for me. I agree about the bottle and dropper, I bet they change it soon, because everyone I know loves the foundation but hates the bottle.
I'm with you. I love the L'Oreal tinted serum. I've only used it three times and I'm in love with it already. I applied it with my fingers. Came out amazing. I even did it with a damp sponge. Came out even better and more melted in my skin. So overall I like it. It's a go-to. If you're in a quick hurry or like me, I love a share coverage because my skin really isn't that bad. I just like a my skin but better look
Drugstore cosmetics have really stepped up their game lately, and I think we are all glad about that! I do like the Loreal True Nude Serum and the Wet and Wild tinted moisturizer. Both give me hydration and coverage at a great price point! Thanks Stephanie!
The Wet & Wild Photofocus foundation in the "Dewy" formula is excellent! Very nice finish & long-lasting. I believe they also make this in a matte formulation as well. Thanks for your excellent videos!👏
I love your reviews! I find that many of your recommendations work for me, I have very oily and somewhat mature skin (I’m 39). I recently bought the Shiseido matte primer and I’ve been loving it with most of the foundations I’ve tried now, I hardly get oily after 8-9 hours of wear. I also love the new L’Oréal serum foundation, it’s really beautiful and I recommend you review the new beautyblender skin tint, it’s lovely!
I cannot say enough how incredible and terrific your videos are, for the excellent content quality as well as the fact you show us your realness and loveliness using natural lighting. So glad I found your channel!
I was so excited when I saw this video come up. I’m 46 with oily combination skin and I live in Florida so a lot of what works for you works for me. I agree that they all look gorgeous on you but I loved the Wet and Wild also.
I've been wanting to try the Catrice foundation, but it's hard to find, in my shade. I love the Wet &Wild Tinted Hydrator. I'm wearing it today. It's great for dry skin, and it has a great satin finish. There's nothing like The Hollywood Flawless Filter. It's versatile. Thanks, Stephanie! ❤💖
I had given up on finding a drugstore tinted moisturizer/shear coverage foundation that didn't age me by 10 years 😂 i absolutely love the Wet & Wild Tinted Hydrator. It doesn't make my wrinkles look worse and i get around 12 hours of wear. I will get a bit of shine in my T zone around 3 but i use blotting paper and that is all i need. I really like it. Now, i'm currently writing this in February and i live in humid Houston so i have no idea how much i will like it during our summers, i might try and find a powder foundation for summer but for now it's been great!
I love the Wet n Wild Tinted Hydrator. I'm 42, I live in a climate with hot/humid summers and cold/dry winters. I started using it in July, and on my dry/normal skin it wore like a dream! Now that dryer and cooler fall air is here, it is still wearing well. I like the light coverage, I just spot conceal as needed. The $5 price tag makes it a no brainer. When I want more coverage, I typically reach for the Pacifica alight foundation. It is medium/full coverage. Makes my skin look amazing. It has been on clearance on their website...don't know if they are discontinuing it so I bought 2 backups just in case! I have super fair skin and it is one of the only full-ish coverage foundations that is a good shade/undertone match for me.
So excited to see this one, and value your commitment to your reviews. I would love to see your review on drug Store Stick Foundations. I feel since so many of these companies make their high end and drug store foundations are made in the same factories and with similar ingredients. I don't see the point in spending so much money on Expensive Makeup. I continue to be surprised by the quality of Drug Store makeup
LOVE the all drug store aspect of this video. I tend to purchase my makeup at the drugstore mainly because it is convenient, and I choose spend more money on skincare over makeup.
Although not directly related to your video, I was perusing your foundation matches (we have the same coloring) when I noticed you included Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue. You stated you use the shade "Buttercream". I also used this shade but a couple of years ago switched to "Bamboo" (5.5). It has less yellow than the Buttercream but is still a great match. You might want to give it a try.
I love your content. You are amazing explaining pros and con of each product . You will hit 200, 000 subscribers very soon. You’re the best and so beautiful!
So far I only use the L'Oreal tinted serum 2 to 3 times I believe and I absolutely love it. I love the sheerness. That is what I'm looking for in a tinted moisturizer serum. I'm more of that than a full coverage foundation. I'm barely getting into that, but overall I love the L'Oreal tinted serum and I love the wet and wild tinted hydrator
The L'Oréal tinted serum is my fav, I bought the second bottle yesterday and I loved it, is so perfect for everyday and even with the mask its stay more than 8 hours wear 😍
I don't watch beauty channels so much anymore but I really love to watch yours. Thank you so much. I'm 65 and appreciate your lovely approach to makeup. And your accent is wonderful.
I've bought the L'oreal serum foundation several times - it's really superb on my 45 year old skin - especially when I'm retinizing. It always make me look healthy and radiant and skin looks amaazingly smooth. I love it!
I've got dry skin but I don't want a glowy foundation. Why .... because I also have pores 😂😂. Seriously though, give me luminous, semi matte or soft matte and I'm happy. Gone are the days when the glowy stuff looked good. I ordered the Catrice foundation online yesterday, so I'll have to see what I think of it. Fingers crossed it's as good as everyone says. I hate ordering foundation online, trying to find the correct shade is hit or miss (which is why I usually buy two bottles). I wish they could make the images true to colour. Moan over 😛. Brilliant vid Stephanie. As usual you gave lots of important info with every product. Thank you, 💗💗💗💗
Loreal true lumi serum foundation on my 63 mature skin made me have wrinkles never before experienced until wearing that incredible drying item. Thankfully, Returned.
@@hallievanoutryve3109 Where are you seeing $20 lol. it's $14.99 at walmart and like $16 at target. That's why people are silly for buying drugstore from Ulta.
I tried the L’Oréal Paradise, also in light, when we were wintering in FL. I have dry skin and I was hoping this would be great. It was not. I too found it to be yellow and too dark for me. Did not like at all. Enjoy your videos!
I was soooo hoping L’Oréal age perfect radiant serum foundation would be on here it’s beautiful and such a good find and I just think you would love it! Have you tried it yet?
Yay! The Catrice foundation! I loooooove it. Interesting to see the shade that worked for you. I wear your summer shades (ELDW Rattan and MAC NC30) and for the Catrice True Skin, I chose "Neutral Macchiato" and it's perfect. Perhaps it is because I have more of a cool (olive) base than the warmth/golden undertones that peek through your skin? In any case, I'm thrilled you tried it and liked it. I was one of the people who suggested you would find it flattering.
I’m glad to hear you liked the L’Oréal True Nude Serum Foundation. I bought shade 1 and 2. I found shade 1 on Amazon, surprisingly, and shade 2 at my local Target. I haven’t tried either of them except to do a match to my skin so I am excited to give it a try! I think I can probably get away with using either of the 2 lightest shades but we will see!
I’m 67 and I’ve been using the Neutrogena clear coverage cc cream for about a week now and I love, love love it! Great ingredients and it’s just perfect for me. It doesn’t settle into my wrinkles. Btw I have dry skin with an oily t zone. Great reviews Thanks!
What a surprise about the Wet n Wild!! That sounds like like the one to try. Maybe the Neutrogena, too, but I don't want to feel dry. Thank you for these suggestions. Edited to add: Oh, wait, I'm not dry, I'm normal, only dry under certain circumstances, so maybe I'll try the Neutrogena. Still....often I would rather save up all the dollars which could be spent on a lot of drugstore foundations, so I can purchase one that some ppl may think is way too expensive.
i love the maybelline 4 in 1. i like to apply it with my fingers and then set it with maybelline fit me pressed powder. lasts all day and gives the nicest lit from within glow. (im 40, normal/dry skin and i live in a hot and humid climate)
I am really enjoying the wet n wild. Mine is a pretty thin consistency though. I'm oily and I was a little scared of it. And it was a bit much some days this summer but I found that the wet n wild Matte primer fixed that. Score - two super affordable products! I'm think it will be perfect this winter. I am 50 and am finding lighter coverage with spot concealing is a much better way for me to go.
Hi Stephanie, brilliant video, as I have oily skin like yourself, the only foundation I have tried and still wear is the Catrice true skin foundation, I bought 2 colours to mix them, but loving this foundation X
I haven't seen many of those other than the tru match. My favorites are L'oreal serum foundation SPF 50 for day, and Revlon full coverage foundation which lasts long and has great coverage. I use Urban decay all night setting spray too
Must something with Texas. I never can find the wet and wild tinted And my glowey alternative is using either super goop glow screen or DRMTLGY tinted mixed with the Milani glow drops !
Do you use a damp sponge with the powder foundation?..........I have been watching more of the video and have an additional question - when working with liquid foundation, when do you use and dry sponge and when a damp sponge?? THX!
Hi Stephanie! Thanks for your videos. This is off topic but in one of your earlier videos on best bronzers, you recommended using a deep shade of finishing powder or finishing powder as a bronzer. That seems like such a cool idea. Can you put out a video demonstrating that? Thanks so much.
Great video! I have 3 of these. I cannot get the Catrice one anywhere! My new favorite drugstore foundation is the Physicians Formula butter believe it!
The True Blend is my new holy grail. I'm dry, mature skin at 53 and I'm shouting on the rooftops over this one. ps.. sadly, you are smelling denatured alcohol.. so be warned to the dry skin ladies.... prepping your skin well is paramount! xo
I was at CVS today, getting my Covid booster shot, and while I waited the 15 minutes one has to stay nearby after the vaccine to make sure there isn't a reaction, I couldn't resist but picking up some new makeup to try...I am currently wearing the L’Oreal True Nude Serum in Shade 3-4. It looks really pretty. It evened out my skin without masking it or making it flat. It's only been 7 hours since I applied, but right now it looks like a contender for "casual" days, especially in winter, when I prefer something a bit more hydrating. I also picked up the Essence Volume Stylist 18h Lash Extension mascara and I'm impressed. Two for two, woohoo! (EDITED to add: I hate the dropper in the L'Oreal foundation. I think I will transfer it to a squeeze applicator.)
Hey Steph, with the powder foundation. Did you use a Wet or dry sponge after using a brush? Thank you bunches!! I live in Mississippi so I understand hot humidity lol.
We have the same skin type + shade (combo, can lean oily with dry spots; Light-Med Neutral sometimes Warm). And I really really think you should try Milani Screen Queen (I have shade 250 Natural Bisque). Can you try and review? You would love it I think :D natural light to medium finish and lasts so long and looks so beautiful. Try!!! XO
That loreal water tint thing is attrocious! lol 😂 I did end up using it to mix with the missha bb cream which has a spf of about 42 I think. I had shade 21 of the missha and it was too light and kind of greyish...and thick....so neither was any good. On a whim i mixed them together and now I have a really nice consistancy and long wearing med coverage skin something......it worked anyway. If it wasnt for that happy occurance of chance....the loreal would have ended up in the bin!
Have you tried the LYS triple serum foundation from Sephora yet? I just received my first bottle and applied it once, so far, so good. It's medium coverage. Even though it's sold at Sephora, it only costs $22. I'm not sure how to classify it.
I just bought the L’Oreal serum foundation and think the colors run dark. I’m usually a light neutral and had to mix the ‘light 2-3’ with the ‘very light’ for my best color match.
I would love to see how the serum foundation compares to Bobbi Brown serum foundation - save a lot of money. Are any of these similar to Urban Decay Naked Skin original?
The L’Oréal tinted serum is my new favorite complexion product. And I have oily skin. I won’t use anything else on my skin anymore. Haha the wet n wild tinted hydrator I actually did NOT like. It felt extremely heavy on my skin. It made me so oily. And all the colors in my range were orange on my skin. Such a disappointment for me!
Your skin doesn't look mid 40s! Congrats! I'm late 50s, but lost almost 200lbs from late 40s to early 50s! My face collapsed (doctor's words). My dentist, unprompted said I look like I ran into a brick wall! He's my former dentist! When I went back to have my procedure finished after his comment, I had on the Raquel Welch wig Editor's Pick. It's a pretty, shoulder length beachy wave type style. He commented on how bad my hair looked! He's in his 70s and gruff, but how dare he! I live in Arkansas, his wife owns a salon in LA that she travels back and forth to. I assume she's not a fan of beachy waves because his reason for "hating" my hair was "you need to decide if you want it curly or straight!" I don't know who named an 70+ year old dentist in Fort Smith, Arkansas the women's hair style guru title to him, but...they forgot to impart on him an ounce of couth!
I noticed you said you use a dry sponge, why is that? I've always heard damp sponge... Just curious and gonna give it a try. Very informative, got a couple new ones to try out now
Love your videos ❤️ What is your favorite makeup sponge to apply foundation. Do you have a good dupe for Charlotte Tilbury Penelope Pink kissing lipstick 💄
Fantastic video! I appreciate your drugstore videos. I have the wet and wild tinted hydrator and although I do like it, I must be too oily for it because it looks to dewey and I have oil breakthrough quickly. I'm thinking of trying the Catrice, is it more matte? Otherwise do you have another inexpensive recommendation?
I’ve been wanting to try the L’Oréal true nude serum foundation forever and this convinced me. Move been using the Dior air flash for about a year which I LOVE. But the only reason I bought an over 90 dollar foundation was that I had a macy’s gift card. I have to admit, it’s one of the best, most easy and convenient, perfect skin match products I’ve ever used. Plus it can be easily built from medium to high coverage… God I love it. But it’s almost gone and I can’t afford to get it again. Looking for something to replace it when it’s gone.
I think the Wet and Wild was 100% most flattering on your skin in the daylight. The first 2 seems slightly blotchy and the 3rd gave your upper lip zero color and didn't have the same glow as the rest of your face.. weird. Reminded me of an Este Lauder brand🤔
Hi Stephanie, I am 64 w very dry skin, redness which continues to increase, seemingly daily, some fairly large dark spots on both sides below my cheeks(the areas that I use a contour). I’m in NC which gets hot and humid, but nothing like N.O. but I sweat a lot and comfortable temperature outside if I’m doing any kind of yard work or walking is 65-70. We keep our house temp year round at 67-68 so I don’t sweat and get so red in the face (the redness in my face is so prominent and lasts for hours). I’m also fair skinned and usually require the lightest shades, so I listen carefully to your descriptions for who would probably do best w a certain concealer and/or foundation. I wonder if you would have suggestions for a CC cream or tint for daily use (I’m retired and mostly wear a complete makeup look only 1-2 days/week. I have tried IT CC cream and hated it bc I think it totally STINKS and feels too heavy, but maybe I’ve used too much trying to make it cover ALL REDNESS AND AGESPOTS. I NEVER HAD ACNE BUT I AM CURSED W THIS UNEVEN SKIN TONE/PIGMENTATION IN MY SENIOR YEARS! I love your videos bc you provide so much good information in each one-thank you for all your work and knowledge! Lastly, where is your daughter? I haven’t seen her in videos for a while now. Last time I saw her I think maybe she was about 12. She is a beautiful girl and seems to be a sweetheart! Thanks again for all you do!
I've never had success with a Maybelline foundation. I may try it with a coupon & on a sale, as I do like radiance and my skin is dry. Though my weather here is hot and humid May - October. I want to try the Loreal True Nude Lumi, because I love the other Lumi products, but I don't feel like it will match my fair skin.
I LOVE the Wet and Wild tinted hydrator. I wear it over mineral sunscreen, which acts as a primer. I'm 60, with dry-ish smooth skin. I'm a teacher, and the coverage lasts from 7:30am to 4:00pm with minimal fading.
Me too. I wear the w&w tinted hydrator over my mineral sunscreen as well. Such a great combination.
I’ve heard so much about this one. I’ll have to give it a try!
Me too I love love it !! I like it better then the fenty ..
Made in China
What mineral sunscreen do you use?🌺

I’m glad to hear you liked the L’Oréal True Nude Serum Foundation. I bought shade 1 and 2. I found shade 1 on Amazon, surprisingly, and shade 2 at my local Target. I haven’t tried either of them except to do a match to my skin so I am excited to give it a try! I think I can probably get away with using either of the 2 lightest shades but we will see!
I’m 67 and I’ve been using the Neutrogena clear coverage cc cream for about a week now and I love, love love it! Great ingredients and it’s just perfect for me. It doesn’t settle into my wrinkles. Btw I have dry skin with an oily t zone. Great reviews Thanks!
What a surprise about the Wet n Wild!! That sounds like like the one to try. Maybe the Neutrogena, too, but I don't want to feel dry. Thank you for these suggestions.
Edited to add:
Oh, wait, I'm not dry, I'm normal, only dry under certain circumstances, so maybe I'll try the Neutrogena. Still....often I would rather save up all the dollars which could be spent on a lot of drugstore foundations, so I can purchase one that some ppl may think is way too expensive.
Loved the video! Absolutely loving l’oreal serum foundation!!!
i love the maybelline 4 in 1. i like to apply it with my fingers and then set it with maybelline fit me pressed powder. lasts all day and gives the nicest lit from within glow. (im 40, normal/dry skin and i live in a hot and humid climate)
This is really helpful. Thank you. I too have combination skin and live in a very humid climate so very applicable.
Great video thank you. I love the catrice foundation but can't find it in my shade and I'm nearly finished my bottle.
Steph I love these videos from you! I'm 44 and live in lower Alabama..😩🤣 your recommendations and picks are so helpful! ♥️
Thank you for the detailed video Stephanie🌞
I am really enjoying the wet n wild. Mine is a pretty thin consistency though. I'm oily and I was a little scared of it. And it was a bit much some days this summer but I found that the wet n wild Matte primer fixed that. Score - two super affordable products! I'm think it will be perfect this winter. I am 50 and am finding lighter coverage with spot concealing is a much better way for me to go.
I love the loreal serum tint! The wet n wild is good too. Great video!
Which one do you prefer more?
Hi Stephanie, brilliant video, as I have oily skin like yourself, the only foundation I have tried and still wear is the Catrice true skin foundation, I bought 2 colours to mix them, but loving this foundation X
Thank you so much for this series! It's so informative and concise!
Thank you for sharing, you look so pretty in this lighting and the makeup you chose. Very natural.
Thank you! 😘
I haven't seen many of those other than the tru match. My favorites are L'oreal serum foundation SPF 50 for day, and Revlon full coverage foundation which lasts long and has great coverage. I use Urban decay all night setting spray too
Must something with Texas. I never can find the wet and wild tinted
And my glowey alternative is using either super goop glow screen or DRMTLGY tinted mixed with the Milani glow drops !
Do you use a damp sponge with the powder foundation?..........I have been watching more of the video and have an additional question - when working with liquid foundation, when do you use and dry sponge and when a damp sponge?? THX!
Hi Stephanie! Thanks for your videos. This is off topic but in one of your earlier videos on best bronzers, you recommended using a deep shade of finishing powder or finishing powder as a bronzer. That seems like such a cool idea. Can you put out a video demonstrating that? Thanks so much.
meant setting powder
Taylor Wynn mentioned doing that too
Great video! I have 3 of these. I cannot get the Catrice one anywhere! My new favorite drugstore foundation is the Physicians Formula butter believe it!
Amazon has the serum foundation in all shades and it’s on sale $15.99! Just placed my order ❤️❤️
That’s where I purchased shade 1 from. Last I checked they had all the shades in stock.
Stephanie Smith, which shade did you order?
is that the one which Stephanie said she would buy lighter next time?
@@KaraLey98 I’m assuming you are asking me? Lol. Yes, I purchased the what they call the light/medium shade. It’s shade 2-3.
Recently happily surprised with results of both the wet and wild and the catrice.
The True Blend is my new holy grail. I'm dry, mature skin at 53 and I'm shouting on the rooftops over this one. ps.. sadly, you are smelling denatured alcohol.. so be warned to the dry skin ladies.... prepping your skin well is paramount! xo
Loved the review. My favorite drugstore is still the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint. I also enjoy Maybelline Fit Me Dewy.
I was at CVS today, getting my Covid booster shot, and while I waited the 15 minutes one has to stay nearby after the vaccine to make sure there isn't a reaction, I couldn't resist but picking up some new makeup to try...I am currently wearing the L’Oreal True Nude Serum in Shade 3-4. It looks really pretty. It evened out my skin without masking it or making it flat. It's only been 7 hours since I applied, but right now it looks like a contender for "casual" days, especially in winter, when I prefer something a bit more hydrating. I also picked up the Essence Volume Stylist 18h Lash Extension mascara and I'm impressed. Two for two, woohoo! (EDITED to add: I hate the dropper in the L'Oreal foundation. I think I will transfer it to a squeeze applicator.)
Would love to know how u did ur entire look ? It’s fabulous
Hey Steph, with the powder foundation. Did you use a Wet or dry sponge after using a brush? Thank you bunches!! I live in Mississippi so I understand hot humidity lol.
I love and use the Wet n Wild tint hydrator. I wanted to try the Loreal skin tint but for $20? They're too proud.
It's soooo good and doesn't take much per application. It's definitely worth the money, and you can find it at Wal-Mart for 14.99 usually.
The L’Oréal looked terrible on me- polka dot pores😔 the neutrogena one however is amazing on me - so funny
We have the same skin type + shade (combo, can lean oily with dry spots; Light-Med Neutral sometimes Warm). And I really really think you should try Milani Screen Queen (I have shade 250 Natural Bisque). Can you try and review? You would love it I think :D natural light to medium finish and lasts so long and looks so beautiful. Try!!! XO
Thanks for the rec!
That loreal water tint thing is attrocious! lol 😂
I did end up using it to mix with the missha bb cream which has a spf of about 42 I think. I had shade 21 of the missha and it was too light and kind of greyish...and thick....so neither was any good.
On a whim i mixed them together and now I have a really nice consistancy and long wearing med coverage skin something......it worked anyway.
If it wasnt for that happy occurance of chance....the loreal would have ended up in the bin!
Thank you for your hard work on this video!
Funny I said the same thing about Maybelline 4 in 1 - it is so NOT a dupe for CT!!! Nice round up!
I’m glad I’m not alone! Thank you! I JUST watched one of your videos like ten minutes ago and came on here and saw this! 😆❤️
I love to apply powder foundation using microfiber sponge!
I love the Loreal True Match Nude in 3-4. For years my go to has been Lancome Renergie, not anymore. I do think the dropper is too messy.
The L'ORÉAL foundations are always to yellow for me. Thank you for this video
Have you tried the LYS triple serum foundation from Sephora yet? I just received my first bottle and applied it once, so far, so good. It's medium coverage. Even though it's sold at Sephora, it only costs $22. I'm not sure how to classify it.
I just bought the L’Oreal serum foundation and think the colors run dark. I’m usually a light neutral and had to mix the ‘light 2-3’ with the ‘very light’ for my best color match.
Definitely want to try out the video maybelline 4 in 1 since I have such dry skin.
Wow! Thorough, thank you! 🇨🇦❤️
I would love to see how the serum foundation compares to Bobbi Brown serum foundation - save a lot of money. Are any of these similar to Urban Decay Naked Skin original?
I was wondering the same, especially about the Catrice! I so miss Naked foundation.
Love the Tru match nude light medium is perfect.
Love ❤️ the L'oreal serum foundation i agree on the dropper not my favorite but going to order a pump, but very happy with this product.
I LOVE the skin paradise one! I got the shade fair 01, it's perfect and not as orange as the fair 03 one
Loved!!!!! Thank you 😊
Excited i found you! Same colour match and combo skin. Woop
I love the Maybelline 4 in 1 a lot! I use mine under another base product.
The L’Oréal tinted serum is my new favorite complexion product. And I have oily skin. I won’t use anything else on my skin anymore. Haha the wet n wild tinted hydrator I actually did NOT like. It felt extremely heavy on my skin. It made me so oily. And all the colors in my range were orange on my skin. Such a disappointment for me!
Your skin doesn't look mid 40s! Congrats! I'm late 50s, but lost almost 200lbs from late 40s to early 50s! My face collapsed (doctor's words). My dentist, unprompted said I look like I ran into a brick wall! He's my former dentist! When I went back to have my procedure finished after his comment, I had on the Raquel Welch wig Editor's Pick. It's a pretty, shoulder length beachy wave type style. He commented on how bad my hair looked! He's in his 70s and gruff, but how dare he! I live in Arkansas, his wife owns a salon in LA that she travels back and forth to. I assume she's not a fan of beachy waves because his reason for "hating" my hair was "you need to decide if you want it curly or straight!" I don't know who named an 70+ year old dentist in Fort Smith, Arkansas the women's hair style guru title to him, but...they forgot to impart on him an ounce of couth!
Great review!
That lipstick shade is very flattering on you
I noticed you said you use a dry sponge, why is that? I've always heard damp sponge... Just curious and gonna give it a try. Very informative, got a couple new ones to try out now
Enjoyed the reviews some good products 🌷🌹
Love your videos ❤️ What is your favorite makeup sponge to apply foundation. Do you have a good dupe for Charlotte Tilbury Penelope Pink kissing lipstick 💄
Fantastic video! I appreciate your drugstore videos. I have the wet and wild tinted hydrator and although I do like it, I must be too oily for it because it looks to dewey and I have oil breakthrough quickly. I'm thinking of trying the Catrice, is it more matte? Otherwise do you have another inexpensive recommendation?
I’ve been wanting to try the L’Oréal true nude serum foundation forever and this convinced me.
Move been using the Dior air flash for about a year which I LOVE. But the only reason I bought an over 90 dollar foundation was that I had a macy’s gift card. I have to admit, it’s one of the best, most easy and convenient, perfect skin match products I’ve ever used. Plus it can be easily built from medium to high coverage… God I love it. But it’s almost gone and I can’t afford to get it again. Looking for something to replace it when it’s gone.
This is random but I have the same white vase in the background. It was a gift to me.. I loved the video as well as always.
I think the Wet and Wild was 100% most flattering on your skin in the daylight. The first 2 seems slightly blotchy and the 3rd gave your upper lip zero color and didn't have the same glow as the rest of your face.. weird. Reminded me of an Este Lauder brand🤔
I use the covergirl concealer as foundation its the best.
Hi Stephanie, I am 64 w very dry skin, redness which continues to increase, seemingly daily, some fairly large dark spots on both sides below my cheeks(the areas that I use a contour). I’m in NC which gets hot and humid, but nothing like N.O. but I sweat a lot and comfortable temperature outside if I’m doing any kind of yard work or walking is 65-70. We keep our house temp year round at 67-68 so I don’t sweat and get so red in the face (the redness in my face is so prominent and lasts for hours). I’m also fair skinned and usually require the lightest shades, so I listen carefully to your descriptions for who would probably do best w a certain concealer and/or foundation. I wonder if you would have suggestions for a CC cream or tint for daily use (I’m retired and mostly wear a complete makeup look only 1-2 days/week. I have tried IT CC cream and hated it bc I think it totally STINKS and feels too heavy, but maybe I’ve used too much trying to make it cover ALL REDNESS AND AGESPOTS. I NEVER HAD ACNE BUT I AM CURSED W THIS UNEVEN SKIN TONE/PIGMENTATION IN MY SENIOR YEARS!
I love your videos bc you provide so much good information in each one-thank you for all your work and knowledge!
Lastly, where is your daughter? I haven’t seen her in videos for a while now. Last time I saw her I think maybe she was about 12. She is a beautiful girl and seems to be a sweetheart!
Thanks again for all you do!
Thanks for giving us a lot of drug store options. Have you tried Colourpop’s Pretty Fresh Sin Tint? It is the best drug store option for me! 💕
Hey Stephanie :-)) Great list :-)) I just bought the Catrice foundation see how it goes :-)) oxoxox
I've never had success with a Maybelline foundation. I may try it with a coupon & on a sale, as I do like radiance and my skin is dry. Though my weather here is hot and humid May - October. I want to try the Loreal True Nude Lumi, because I love the other Lumi products, but I don't feel like it will match my fair skin.
HI dear! you are so close to 200k subscribers! I am CHEERING
Great info! I’m trying to find a dup for Estée Lauder Dlb Wear due to budget. Any suggestions? Thx and ❤️
I just purchased the L’Oréal serum foundation = love it for everyday!
