I use this daily for the last 2 years. I love it. I only need one jar a year because it does best to apply with fingertips- not sponge or brush. I was shocked to see you go through a quarter of the jar and the light coverage you yielded with sponge and brush. Fingertips are best for this "gel" foundation and you can build it to medium- even heavy if needed. Thanks for your series
This newer formula has something in it that is causing me a lot of sensitively . Couldn’t wait to wash it off both times I tried at counter. I really Loved the original formula. For $240 cannot justify purchase.
This is a foundation for combination to oily skins and it is absolutely fantastic, apart from the price! Not all foundations suit everyone, of course, but if you are an oilier skin person with large pores you will love this. Simply amazing.
I just want to say that I am a 35 year old Mommy of two little boys and I sooooo appreciate your candor and honesty around the worth and cost of these items and how you realize what is truly too much money to spend on something etc.... love that you included your opinion of “return on investment” for those of us who have been tempted to spend but want to wait for the right buy! Thank you!
Good morning, I am new to your channel. I do think that their are long term skin care benefits included in the $78.00 price tag when compared to the products of other cosmetic houses. I am wondering if you applied a ritual of toner, moisturizer, serum, SPF, and primer, etc..., etc... before applying the foundation and if you also applied the Chantecaille or other finishing powder (or other) as recommended when applying this foundation. I do think that these things add to the coverage, as well as the staying power of the Chantecaille foundation. This is what I have found in my own personal experience. I do appreciate today’s video and furthermore; the time, money, and energy you expended on all of our behalf’s and look forward to future content.
Hi Marnie, yes I like this series. I would be interested in you trying anything Charlotte Tilbury, such as her Miracle Creams or Youth Brightening Serum or her other makeup. I notice you use some of her makeup already. In my budget, her line is high end.
Because the La Mer foundation has skin care built into it, I would be curious to know if it is worth the splurge, I wear foundation daily and could justify the price if I’m combining two really good products into one. I also have hyper pigmentation, though My skin tone is darker than yours, so I would be interested to see how the La Mer foundation handles covering dark spots and hyper pigmentation.
I have the La Mer and have hyper pigmentation. It does not fully cover it. It is an absolutely beautiful foundation and one of my all time favorites, but I still have to use a concealer to cover the dark spots and pigmentation. If, I apply Shape Tape Concealer first, underneath, and then put La Mer over top...it is the perfect combo and is stunning!
I liked the texture but the shade isn't great on me... very warm, I'm fair neutral. It's huge, I didn't get close to finishing it before I had to throw it out - I'd had it way too long. Texture is like nothing else I've seen. It's a firm moussey cream. If the shade would work for you then I'd recommend it.
I like that you aren't sugar-coating it and giving an honest review of products and being picky especially for those of us that are budget conscious. Thank you! Great new series! I agree with the others... you look great for 45! I will be 46 this year and I need to step up my anti-anging so you an inspiration!
Agreed with about Future skin foundation... I am in love with Shiseido Radiant, lifting foundation, like your skin,but flawless. Thank you for your honest opinion.
I used this foundation for a while - like i went through 3 jars - because I adored this product. I personally loved how this foundation sat on my skin - I’m in my mid 30s, have normal/combo skin and live in Australia where we do have humid weather... I got so many comments on how well I looked every time I wore it. I still long to buy another jar but it’s too expensive and the staying power isn’t the best. I think the Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue is a good dupe for this product x
Hi Marnie, Arnica gives a cooling sensation. I am disabled and I’ve used an Arnica spray for pain. It comes in a cream form, too (but it has aloe in it and I’m allergic to aloe). You can buy it at any Medical Supplies Store, in Canada 🇨🇦.
I forgot the brand name of the arnica product-but Arnica is in the name. Also, medical supply is not a particular store. Autocorrect changed it to capital letters. I was referring to any store where disabled people and seniors can buy medical and equipment supplies. Thx.
Sad to hear that this wasn't great for you. It has been one of my faves since 2008. I try others, but always come back to it. I feel it to be medium coverage - it does last on my aging/combination skin. My day cream contains my SPF, so I do like it that it's sunblock free. Thanks for your review Marnie!
I’m a foundation junkie with aging, combination skin. I have the Chantecaiile Future Skin foundation and agree with you that it’s nice, but does not give enough coverage for the price. Since you mentioned the Koh Gen Doh and it’s relative unavailability, I ordered it online and was excited because I had heard rave reviews. This was another foundation that was disappointing in that it didn’t live up to my expectations. It’s okay, but nothing special. (Perhaps we’re all looking for something that does not yet exist.) I prefer a foundation with a satin finish and the one I keep going back to is the Cle de Peau Radiant Fluid foundation. It’s a medium buildable coverage. I love it as much as my By Terry foundations and definitely more than the Guerlain Lingerie, YSL, Hourglass, Koh Gen Doh or Chanel foundations. I set it with Rouge Bunny Rouge setting powder which is also a holy grail product for me. This is probably tmi, but thought I’d share my experiences. Love your channel!
Marnie. Thank you so much!! Other YTers made me feel I was missing out. So nice to hear your honest, less than glowing review of the Future Skin foundation.Thank you for your honesty!! You look amazingly gorgeous by the way!! 💝💝💝💝
Thanks Marni. Pls try the By Terry and Surratt foundations which come in a cylinder tube with an integrated brush and the Ellis Faas foundations next. Also, if you are on the fence about the La Prarie - I vote try it! x
I am 60 years old and I have been using the Chantecaille Future Skin Foundation for years. My skin loves it coz it breathes and calms any redness. Love it's natural ingredients. It is worth it for me. It gives me a youthful natural glow. It is actually for light to medium coverage. I only use a little so it last me for 3-4 months. You have dark pigments so it does not really conceal it. You have beautiful skin but you can work on fading your dark spots which is easy nowadays. Coz I use to have darker spots but with weekly exfoliation and dark spot reducer my skin has been even toned. I started using Natura Bisse products to fade my pigments but now I stick with Chantecaille products to maintain my even tone with Retinol Intense and Rose de Mai Face Oil.
I love it. I wear Suntan, the second darkest shade. I was reluctant to buy it, but ended up with a sample of Banana and Suntan and I was hooked. If I take a break to try a new foundation, I am right back to my trusted jar. I discovered your channel thanks to this review. I wanted to find out if others loved it as much as I do.
I've been trying the Giorgio Armani power fabric with the maestro primer. I am dry. As well. Luckily, my sales clerk gave me a 10 d as y sample of the product. I do like it. I think you would too. Also, I'd like your view on the by Terry powder that everyone raves about since you are dry. Thanks for taking one for the team, this one sounds like a 'no go' to me.
This was a great idea! Thanks for doing it. I'd like you to try Giorgio Armani's luminous silk foundation. I've heard good things about it. I have the same type of skin as you so I'm still trying to find a great foundation, I've tried LaMer's foundation and wasn't 100% impressed
I used it a lot and have talked about how it broke me out in horrible cystic acne. It’s too bad because it wore really well and the finish was GORGEOUS. It’s definitely worth the money if you’re not allergic to whatever is in it. I seem to be in the minority-most don’t have the reaction I did.
GREAT VIDEO! THANKS FOR THE REVIEW. I used Chantecaille's mascara with the serum in it. It was a beautiful mascara but did nothing at all for lengthening after 2 months of daily use.
You look beautiful. Your skin looks flawless. Maybe you can think about reviewing the La Mer foundation. $110. Seems really good. Tried it in Bloomingdales once. Just an idea.
Thx for this review, I had asked you about this foundation a few wks ago. In your notes you say that you’re wearing Just Skin which is their tinted moisturizer. I had the company send me samples of both FS & JS. There is actually much more coverage from the JS (which is what the co. told me). I ended up purchasing the Hour Glass Vanishing Foundation Stick & I LOVE it! Huge learning curve using it. I think you’d like it. I also have dry/dehydrated 50yr old skin.
Missy D. Having dry very skin....I do these steps swiftly: cleanse, moisturizer, primer then draw 2 lines forehead, 3 each cheek, stripe down nose 1 across chin. I rub my hands together quickly to make them warm, lay them on face for a cpl sec then I apply a tiny bit of primer to my warm hands & rub foundation in. Then...take 1 of the cheap triangle sponges (that come in a big pkg) lightly dampen flat end in & tap in. I hated it at first but I figured out the product works w/body heat & has to ‘melt’ into your skin. Sorry for the winded answer 😉 good luck
I bought this foundation about a month ago and I love it! I love it that its a natural foundation I give it 5 stars :) If you have a recommendation for a natural full or medium coverage please let me know :) Thank you!
Thank you Marnie for your honest opinion and realizing that $78 is a lot of money for most people. The fact that the container is plastic and doesn't even come with a spatula is ridiculous. Expensive does not mean better when it comes to a lot of things in life, and even if I was inclined to spend, less say, $ 225 for a foundation, I wouldn't because that kind of money could be better used, in my opinion. No one in the street would look at you and know that your foundation is $10 or $78, so why spend that kind of money? This series will be very helpful and possibly keep more money in our wallets, so thanks.
I think either you get a foundation or tinted moisturizer that sits beautifully on the skin and feels weightless and looks glowy and healthy but has not much coverage OR it has better coverage and looks kinda cakey and heavy. It’s unavoidable! Like I have this By Terry Concealer that feels beautiful and glides on like a dream but has very little coverage for my dark circles or I can choose the Bobbi Brown Instant Full Coverage Concealer which is dry and a bitch to blend but gives really good coverage. Can’t have it both ways I guess.
I'm so excited about this series. I attempted to purchase this foundation about a year ago and couldn't find a color match. I have had it on my radar since then but now thanks to you I'm checking it off the list! My mom is 65 and has worn the la prairie for a few years. She loves it!!!
Brilliant video, can't believe the price. A jar!!! A plastic Jar no spatula. Eek. I started using Urban Decay Naked Skin One & Done Hybrid Complexion Perfector. It's wonderful I'm pale right now. In the Snowy UK. I thought it was a foundation Sooooo hmm but I love it. You look gorgeous XxX 💖💗💝
This video was so helpful. I really liked the finish on you actually. I liked that it looked like your skin, but just fresher and more even-toned. I might give this a try one day to use on good skin days
Hi Marnie. You look amazing at 45. I wasn't a big fan of Chantecaille foundation. I'm more a fan of their skin care. We sell it at the store I work at so I've been able to try a lot. One foundation that I think you will love, and maybe you've tried it yourself, is the Guerlain Lingerie Gold. It's the rejuvenating formula and I love it. I've tried so many! Working where I work, I'm constantly trying everything lol. I love a more glowy look rather than a matte one ( I'm 55) so I am really loving this one. You should try it! Xoxo
I am almost done with this foundation. I agree it’s a light coverage so I started to mix it recently with Chanel submalage foundation and I am so happy I found a perfect combo!
Would love a review of the Shiseido Future Solution lx Total Radiance foundation, it’s $90US. I have two Shiseido bases, the wetforce bb and the synchro glow and really love them both, so curious about what another 40-50 bucks actually gets us 😊, this series is awesome, can’t wait for more 👍
Wow Marnie, you really tested the hell out of that product!!! Truly "taking one for the team!" That's a crazy amount of money for what essentially seems to the same coverage as a BB cream. And can I just say... your hair today?? Wow!! Extra gorgeous!!
Loved this video and excited about this series! Thank you for your always candid and honest reviews!! Btw you look beautiful and I love your hair style in this video!
I guess for the price, I would expect a glass container and at least a good medium coverage. Thanks for the review. For about half the price, you could get Estee Lauder doublewear and get a good medium to full coverage.
Hi Marnie! Great review. I’ve used both Koh Gen Do foundations and I love the moisture one. You can call the company and they will help match you. I wore it for my daughters wedding and will get it again, it’s wonderful! Your honesty is appreciated. Bravo!
For years I used the Chantecaille Real Skin Foundation in a compact form. It also came in SPF. I went through many many of those. The problem after years.... I realized I was using it up very fast and had to repurchase a lot. And back then it was $60 I believe. It was a very light coverage. I just looked online and it says sold out on NM. I actually think it was discontinued.
I have been waiting for The taking it for the team series, for $78 it should come with a spatula. But with that beginning said I would love for you to try the new Nars foundation, Tom Ford traceless foundation and maybe Dior. XO
From what I read regarding this foundation was that it is your skin but better. Whether Chantecaille is selling this foundation to be better than your skin then first thing they should’ve done was to have a far better delivery system than a pot or tub to dig out the product, especially for the expensive price and then another to have the product do a better job than needing to apply several layers. I agree with your review. Thank you for taking one for the team.
I agree Marnie!! I tried this a couple of years ago and was really disappointed. It was just a tinted moisturizer. I prefer a medium coverage foundation. For twenty dollars more ( or even less) you can get a much better product. The Chantecaille line does have some excellent products. This is just my feeling about the Future Skin.
I would like to see the La Mer foundation reviewed, I recently bought their loose powder, it's not bad, doesn't settle in pores like most other powders do.
Thank you for this review! I have been wanting to try this one but have several other high end foundations to use up first. This is coming off my list for sure! By the description it is not for me!! I have extremely fair and dry skin and finding a shade online is a nightmare!! Thank you for your hard work I really enjoy your videos....Try the Chanel Sublimage I have it and love it, it has better coverage. The Lamer Soft Fluid is another one that has pretty good coverage!
Hi Kathi, I know I love the Chanel! It really has become my holy grail too! I am surprised that we don't hear of more women reviewing it!! I am glad to know I am not the only one that loves it!
The sublimage is so beautiful and I really love the little brush too. Not sure if you follow the beauty gypsy’s blog, / Instagram account, but it’s one of her favorites too. She has exquisite taste and is in her late forties. She just wrote on her blog a review of her top foundations.
I would love for you to review the LaMer foundation. Wonder if it is really as good as some You Tubers say? I have dry skin too so I’d love to see how it works for you.
I recently discovered Face Atelier and must say it’s the best foundation I’ve ever used. It has a satin and flawless finish, covers very well, but it’s very lightweight and feels as if your face is makeup free. I’ve already placed 3 orders because I want everything in this line.
My skin is super dry, dehydrated and pale and this is one of the only foundations that I can wear that sits beautifully on my skin. It is definitely light to medium coverage on me, not medium to full coverage, as you identified. I also think it is ridiculous that it doesn’t come with a spatula. Here in Australia I had to spend $110 to buy it. I wear it over the Hourglass Serum 28 primer, which wears with it beautifully. I do love the way it looks on my skin, but I’m not sure if I will repurchase it when I run out; if I can find another foundation that looks as nice, then I wouldn’t bother.
You look amazing today! You are such a pleasure to watch. I love your reviews, you are so honest about the products you use. Where I live there are no upscale department stores. I try to watch videos with women with my skin type. You are Johnny on the spot! Have a blessed week.
Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into this review! Would you consider trying the By Terry Cellularose Brightening CC Serum? I see some use it under foundation and others as a base for a "no makeup" day. Is it worth the price?
Hey Marnie! Thx for ur honesty. I was also unimpressed by this foundation. OMG Marnie you will love the LanPrairie foundation! The new one with the concealer in the lid. It is now a holy grail for me 😊. Can you please try either the new Sisley for us or new Clé de Peau in a jar? Terribly $$$ I know 😮. Sorry! Xoxo 😘 Deb
Thanks for starting this series. Never heard of this brand, and since I am 66 with drier skin, I will not consider it. On to the next product...Your top is beautiful!
Hi Marnie. I've been looking for my holy grail foundation and have come up empty for years. I too pretty much grew up with basically next to nothing so even though I can afford better now, it's hard to pull the trigger on super high-end foundations that might be a fail. I did recently try the Tom Ford waterproof foundation and it's ok but not perfect. I've been wondering about the La Mer foundation.
Thank you so much for your thorough, honest, review. I am excited for this series - and am most interested in foundations too. I will be 46 next month (am also fair) and very dry skinned, and finding a good foundation is getting tougher with every birthday.... I thought that foundation looked nice in this video, but the closeup in the sun didn’t look as flattering - it looked a bit heavy (you could see it was layered up). I’m someone who’d rather see flawed skin than makeup. Which is why finding a good foundation (covers but looks like skin) is sooo hard! And I completely agree that there are lots of tinted moisturizer options that will perform similarly (or better) to that foundation for way less money (and in more hygienic packaging too).
Like your new series, loved the “don’t look up my nose, there’s probably boogers up there...”! I was sipping tea when you said that and it just about came out of my nose! You are so elegant and yet so real! Love you! BTW, I broke down and purchased the La Mer and it’s my ride or die which just stinks because of the price, but the effect on my skin is worth it for me.
TOFTT is a great premise, Marnie. I am interested in the SK-II facial treatment essence (which I think you use) there is an apparent dupe by Missha which is more affordable, but still not cheap. Would love to see a TOFTT on that. Thanks Marni!
I have 2 daughters your age Marnie, 43 and 45 ! Boy time sure does fly, I think it looks great on you, love your lippie and top ! Ps I would never spend $80 on a foundation, the IT CC CREAM is my go to, love it ! Thanks for taking one for the team tho, How about the Chanel Foundation, it is called Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet, it is $50... Angie Hot & Flashy calls it her best foundation ever ! Have a great rest of the week !
So ironic that I saw your video on this. I was just looking at this. I’m 52 with I believe dry skin only because of Retin A. Normally I’m oily so who knows. Lol. Anyways. I’m looking more into trying serum foundations with natural ingredients. Beauty habit has several. Check them out. Nice review. Thanks Kim
Love this idea!! I am in search of a holy grail. Chantecaille Future Skin didn't do it for me either. I tried the Hourglass Veil (definitely more hydrating and oil-free, scent free). But by the end of the day (even with their primer) it left my skin. The color range is slim. I also tried their Illusion and it felt caky (oil-free, scent free). I do want a little glow. Me, I do not like a scent on my face, so that automatically leaves a lot of foundations out and I have to worry about sensitivity to botanicals because they often cause breakouts (Natural doesn't mean it's good for everyone's skin. Def not mine. I am 59 with pretty clear skin, dry patches on cheeks. Oilier in T-zone with a chin that can act up so I always opt for oil-free but lately, they've been drying. The only foundation that has shown promise is the Mac Water Weight (and I am not a Mac girl) which I am testing (fragrance-free). I've tried Surrat (oil-free, fragrance-free, a little heavier but easily sheered out. Not a fan of the brush). I wish Chanel would cut the use of scent and alcohol. If you have any other ideas, I am all ears. So far, the best foundation for me has been the Jouer oil-free luminizing moisture tint (but I have to mix two colors). The search goes on. I look forward to your next review and agree with your experience.
Tom Ford blush, TF quads, TF traceless perfecting foundation, charlotte tilbury shadow palette, by terry foundations and concealer, cle de peau foundations (I already know the concealer is great), la mer foundation (soft fluid) and stick concealer. I’d be interested mostly in foundations and concealers, with this series.
Great series idea! I'm curious about la prairie or la mer. I've been very impressed with Chanel sublimage foundation. It's tough when higher end brands aren't available in store Thanks for helping out the "team".
Love the series.... You really are taking the hit!! I never thought I would wear high end, but love the Bobbi Brown foundation. She is no longer with the brand now, Estée Lauder, so we'll see what changes take place, but for now, great! Really good for older skin, at least this older skin.
I'm a huge foundation junkie! 💸 Chante Just Skin is my go to light coverage base. On not so great skin days, I prefer it mixed with ITC CC Cream.🤗 I'm very excited about this series!👍 Haven't even finished the video but I'm already planning a little outing to a makeup counter.😉
I hope you do the La Mer foundation. People rave about that one as well. I loved this review bc I do not think it provides enough coverage, for one application (I don't like doing double layers bc I think it loos cakey in places.). And for $78,, it seriously needs to wow me!!
I love seeing reviews on high end foundation so I’m looking forward to the next one. I would also love to see you review some stupidly expensive mascaras like the chantacaille one that is supposed to make your lashes grow. Tati swears by that one and I’d love to know your opinion on it.
Kevin Aucoin. It's one I haven't tried. At 60, I tend to steer away from high end...I've always found them not worth the money, and I've tried them all. Less expensive brands usually have more color selection, better research depts, thus non-irritating products (ie...Estee Lauder). My 2cents :) Thanks for your review!
I love this idea for your new video series! Thank you very much. Also, would you review the Ko Gen Doh Foundation? I don't believe they sell it in Nordstrom's store but they DO sell it at Nordstrom's on-line. Love you Marnie!
Marine, thanks for your honest review it helps a lot. I wouldn’t try this foundation because of the shade range. I love the idea of this series. Thanks for keeping us informed! Your hair is gorgeous by the way ❤️
I love the concept of your one for the team,i would like it if you included some organic foundations ie kjaer weis or gressa which are higher end organic brands.
I'm also 44, with dry skin and slightly darker complexion....but I do not wear foundation (yet). I haven't mustered the courage since I would not even know how to look for one?? I do wear (almost)I everything else you have recommended! Still love all your videos, so informative. Maybe after a few foundation reviews I will go and buy a few to test. I a appreciate your reviews!! :):)

Fingertips are best for this "gel" foundation and you can build it to medium- even heavy if needed. Thanks for your series
The ionized water statement for moisturizing is really gimmicky, lol. Same with the Rosemary extract. Rosemary is for focaccia, not the face, lol.
Thanks for this.
I too am interested in the La Prairie foundation.......... You first?? :))))
This newer formula has something in it that is causing me a lot of sensitively . Couldn’t wait to wash it off both times I tried at counter. I really Loved the original formula. For $240 cannot justify purchase.

Thank you!
Good morning, I am new to your channel. I do think that their are long term skin care benefits included in the $78.00 price tag when compared to the products of other cosmetic houses. I am wondering if you applied a ritual of toner, moisturizer, serum, SPF, and primer, etc..., etc... before applying the foundation and if you also applied the Chantecaille or other finishing powder (or other) as recommended when applying this foundation. I do think that these things add to the coverage, as well as the staying power of the Chantecaille foundation. This is what I have found in my own personal experience. I do appreciate today’s video and furthermore; the time, money, and energy you expended on all of our behalf’s and look forward to future content.
Great idea for a series! I'd like to see what you think of the CRAZY Cle de Peau new foundation, that's supposedly skin care as well.
Hi Marnie, yes I like this series. I would be interested in you trying anything Charlotte Tilbury, such as her Miracle Creams or Youth Brightening Serum or her other makeup. I notice you use some of her makeup already. In my budget, her line is high end.
Because the La Mer foundation has skin care built into it, I would be curious to know if it is worth the splurge, I wear foundation daily and could justify the price if I’m combining two really good products into one. I also have hyper pigmentation, though My skin tone is darker than yours, so I would be interested to see how the La Mer foundation handles covering dark spots and hyper pigmentation.
I have the La Mer and have hyper pigmentation. It does not fully cover it.

If, I apply Shape Tape Concealer first, underneath, and then put La Mer over top...it is the perfect combo and is stunning!
April Duvall good to know, thank you for your help!
Katy Larson LOVE la Mer. I’m 53.. combo skin. Oily t zone. Beautiful foundation.
How about the By Terry Sheer Expert Fluid Foundation ($66) or the By Terry Terrybly Densiless Serum Foundation ($116!)?
Yes. Please do these and her concealor too!!
I think the terrybly densiliss marnie would looooove! So worth it!!!
Love this series! The Chanel cream bronzer in a big glass jar intrigues me as I also have dry skin and it’s supposed to be very natural looking.
Unfortunately the Chanel bronzer breaks me out horribly. I think it’s the fragrance they put in it and their foundations.
I’m dry and very fair and the Chanel bronzer is amazing for me. The jar/pot will last you forever.
It’s ok. A few years ago it was all the rage bc cream bronzers weren’t so popular and readily available as they are now. Just my opinion
I liked the texture but the shade isn't great on me... very warm, I'm fair neutral. It's huge, I didn't get close to finishing it before I had to throw it out - I'd had it way too long. Texture is like nothing else I've seen. It's a firm moussey cream. If the shade would work for you then I'd recommend it.
I like that you aren't sugar-coating it and giving an honest review of products and being picky especially for those of us that are budget conscious. Thank you! Great new series! I agree with the others... you look great for 45! I will be 46 this year and I need to step up my anti-anging so you an inspiration!

I think the Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue is a good dupe for this product x
I like this series! I would love you to review foundations you think would work on an older woman over 55! Thanks!
Hi Marnie,
Arnica gives a cooling sensation. I am disabled and I’ve used an Arnica spray for pain. It comes in a cream form, too (but it has aloe in it and I’m allergic to aloe). You can buy it at any Medical Supplies Store, in Canada 🇨🇦.
I forgot the brand name of the arnica product-but Arnica is in the name. Also, medical supply is not a particular store. Autocorrect changed it to capital letters. I was referring to any store where disabled people and seniors can buy medical and equipment supplies. Thx.
Fantastic video Marnie! I really appreciate your honesty, it's refreshing. Definitely would love to see more high end foundations! 🖒🏼❤
Sad to hear that this wasn't great for you. It has been one of my faves since 2008. I try others, but always come back to it. I feel it to be medium coverage - it does last on my aging/combination skin. My day cream contains my SPF, so I do like it that it's sunblock free. Thanks for your review Marnie!
thevibrantvixen l also love this on my 66 year old dry sensitive skin
I’m a foundation junkie with aging, combination skin. I have the Chantecaiile Future Skin foundation and agree with you that it’s nice, but does not give enough coverage for the price. Since you mentioned the Koh Gen Doh and it’s relative unavailability, I ordered it online and was excited because I had heard rave reviews. This was another foundation that was disappointing in that it didn’t live up to my expectations. It’s okay, but nothing special. (Perhaps we’re all looking for something that does not yet exist.) I prefer a foundation with a satin finish and the one I keep going back to is the Cle de Peau Radiant Fluid foundation. It’s a medium buildable coverage. I love it as much as my By Terry foundations and definitely more than the Guerlain Lingerie, YSL, Hourglass, Koh Gen Doh or Chanel foundations. I set it with Rouge Bunny Rouge setting powder which is also a holy grail product for me. This is probably tmi, but thought I’d share my experiences. Love your channel!
Marnie. Thank you so much!! Other YTers made me feel I was missing out. So nice to hear your honest, less than glowing review of the Future Skin foundation.Thank you for your honesty!! You look amazingly gorgeous by the way!! 💝💝💝💝
Not La Prairie! Chantecaille! I’ve tried one little sample of the La Prairie...and it was amazing! Darn it!
Thanks Marni. Pls try the By Terry and Surratt foundations which come in a cylinder tube with an integrated brush and the Ellis Faas foundations next. Also, if you are on the fence about the La Prarie - I vote try it! x
Thank you, Marnie. Great honest review. Thanks for ‘taking on for the team’. Sandra
I am 60 years old and I have been using the Chantecaille Future Skin Foundation for years. My skin loves it coz it breathes and calms any redness. Love it's natural ingredients. It is worth it for me. It gives me a youthful natural glow. It is actually for light to medium coverage. I only use a little so it last me for 3-4 months. You have dark pigments so it does not really conceal it. You have beautiful skin but you can work on fading your dark spots which is easy nowadays. Coz I use to have darker spots but with weekly exfoliation and dark spot reducer my skin has been even toned. I started using Natura Bisse products to fade my pigments but now I stick with Chantecaille products to maintain my even tone with Retinol Intense and Rose de Mai Face Oil.
I love it. I wear Suntan, the second darkest shade. I was reluctant to buy it, but ended up with a sample of Banana and Suntan and I was hooked. If I take a break to try a new foundation, I am right back to my trusted jar. I discovered your channel thanks to this review. I wanted to find out if others loved it as much as I do.
I am really glad that it works well for you! That’s always the hope-that the product makes us happy!
I've been trying the Giorgio Armani power fabric with the maestro primer. I am dry. As well. Luckily, my sales clerk gave me a 10 d as y sample of the product. I do like it. I think you would too. Also, I'd like your view on the by Terry powder that everyone raves about since you are dry. Thanks for taking one for the team, this one sounds like a 'no go' to me.
Definitely agree about high end foundation. Have you tried Tom Ford or Charlotte Tilbury? I’m interested in seeing foundations from those lines.
Thanks for your honesty !Chantecaille products are so expensive!I did purchase it but I have not tried it yet !
This was a great idea! Thanks for doing it. I'd like you to try Giorgio Armani's luminous silk foundation. I've heard good things about it. I have the same type of skin as you so I'm still trying to find a great foundation, I've tried LaMer's foundation and wasn't 100% impressed
I used it a lot and have talked about how it broke me out in horrible cystic acne. It’s too bad because it wore really well and the finish was GORGEOUS. It’s definitely worth the money if you’re not allergic to whatever is in it. I seem to be in the minority-most don’t have the reaction I did.
GREAT VIDEO! THANKS FOR THE REVIEW. I used Chantecaille's mascara with the serum in it. It was a beautiful mascara but did nothing at all for lengthening after 2 months of daily use.
This is going to be a great series. I am really looking forward to it. Enjoyed it.
You look beautiful. Your skin looks flawless. Maybe you can think about reviewing the La Mer foundation. $110. Seems really good. Tried it in Bloomingdales once. Just an idea.
Secret is to dap it with your fingers ! It is build-able. How come it looks so light on you? I wear porcelain and looks tan?
Thx for this review, I had asked you about this foundation a few wks ago. In your notes you say that you’re wearing Just Skin which is their tinted moisturizer. I had the company send me samples of both FS & JS.
There is actually much more coverage from the JS (which is what the co. told me).
I ended up purchasing the Hour Glass Vanishing Foundation Stick & I LOVE it! Huge learning curve using it.
I think you’d like it. I also have dry/dehydrated 50yr old skin.
Typo! It’s the Future Skin!
Firestone Filly , how do you apply the Hourglass foundation?
Missy D. Having dry very skin....I do these steps swiftly: cleanse, moisturizer, primer then draw 2 lines forehead, 3 each cheek, stripe down nose 1 across chin. I rub my hands together quickly to make them warm, lay them on face for a cpl sec then I apply a tiny bit of primer to my warm hands & rub foundation in. Then...take 1 of the cheap triangle sponges (that come in a big pkg) lightly dampen flat end in & tap in. I hated it at first but I figured out the product works w/body heat & has to ‘melt’ into your skin. Sorry for the winded answer 😉 good luck
I bought this foundation about a month ago and I love it! I love it that its a natural foundation I give it 5 stars :) If you have a recommendation for a natural full or medium coverage please let me know :) Thank you!
Right there with you, sister!
Thank you Marnie for your honest opinion and realizing that $78 is a lot of money for most people. The fact that the container is plastic and doesn't even come with a spatula is ridiculous. Expensive does not mean better when it comes to a lot of things in life, and even if I was inclined to spend, less say, $ 225 for a foundation, I wouldn't because that kind of money could be better used, in my opinion. No one in the street would look at you and know that your foundation is $10 or $78, so why spend that kind of money? This series will be very helpful and possibly keep more money in our wallets, so thanks.
Thank you for trying it. I did not like the way it is packaged. I always prefer a pump. This seems to be germ city!
Thank you so much. I was going to splurge on this, but not now as I already own and love the Bourjois Foundation. Great video.
I think either you get a foundation or tinted moisturizer that sits beautifully on the skin and feels weightless and looks glowy and healthy but has not much coverage OR it has better coverage and looks kinda cakey and heavy. It’s unavoidable! Like I have this By Terry Concealer that feels beautiful and glides on like a dream but has very little coverage for my dark circles or I can choose the Bobbi Brown Instant Full Coverage Concealer which is dry and a bitch to blend but gives really good coverage. Can’t have it both ways I guess.
I had the exact same experience with it. I returned it. I do love their eyeshadow and blush. Thanks Marnie. Great video series. Can’t wait to watch
I'm so excited about this series. I attempted to purchase this foundation about a year ago and couldn't find a color match. I have had it on my radar since then but now thanks to you I'm checking it off the list! My mom is 65 and has worn the la prairie for a few years. She loves it!!!
Brilliant video, can't believe the price. A jar!!! A plastic Jar no spatula. Eek. I started using Urban Decay Naked Skin One & Done Hybrid Complexion Perfector. It's wonderful I'm pale right now. In the Snowy UK. I thought it was a foundation Sooooo hmm but I love it. You look gorgeous XxX 💖💗💝
This video was so helpful. I really liked the finish on you actually. I liked that it looked like your skin, but just fresher and more even-toned. I might give this a try one day to use on good skin days
This is why I love witching you videos, because you say exactly what you think and believe. Love from Greece
Hi Marnie. You look amazing at 45. I wasn't a big fan of Chantecaille foundation. I'm more a fan of their skin care. We sell it at the store I work at so I've been able to try a lot. One foundation that I think you will love, and maybe you've tried it yourself, is the Guerlain Lingerie Gold. It's the rejuvenating formula and I love it. I've tried so many! Working where I work, I'm constantly trying everything lol. I love a more glowy look rather than a matte one ( I'm 55) so I am really loving this one. You should try it! Xoxo
That SK II is really working! Skin is radiant.
I like your hair in this video!
Yes, love your hair... would love to see a tutorial on how to get that mostly straight but wavy ends look!
second that!
I agree!
Love Koh Gen Do foundation, it has a gorgeous natural finish. Not many shades tho. 😐 Definitely interested in the Chanel Vitalumiere & La Mer!
I’ve been waiting for this series, awesome! Thanks for taking one for the team! I will keep my eye out for products I want you to review.
Good video. Appreciate your opinion but I would’ve liked a recommendation for what you’d prefer over this at the end of the video.
I am almost done with this foundation. I agree it’s a light coverage so I started to mix it recently with Chanel submalage foundation and I am so happy I found a perfect combo!
Would love a review of the Shiseido Future Solution lx Total Radiance foundation, it’s $90US. I have two Shiseido bases, the wetforce bb and the synchro glow and really love them both, so curious about what another 40-50 bucks actually gets us 😊, this series is awesome, can’t wait for more 👍
Wow Marnie, you really tested the hell out of that product!!! Truly "taking one for the team!" That's a crazy amount of money for what essentially seems to the same coverage as a BB cream. And can I just say... your hair today?? Wow!! Extra gorgeous!!
Loved this video and excited about this series! Thank you for your always candid and honest reviews!! Btw you look beautiful and I love your hair style in this video!
I guess for the price, I would expect a glass container and at least a good medium coverage. Thanks for the review. For about half the price, you could get Estee Lauder doublewear and get a good medium to full coverage.
Hi Marnie! Great review. I’ve used both Koh Gen Do foundations and I love the moisture one. You can call the company and they will help match you. I wore it for my daughters wedding and will get it again, it’s wonderful! Your honesty is appreciated. Bravo!
For years I used the Chantecaille Real Skin Foundation in a compact form. It also came in SPF. I went through many many of those. The problem after years.... I realized I was using it up very fast and had to repurchase a lot. And back then it was $60 I believe. It was a very light coverage. I just looked online and it says sold out on NM. I actually think it was discontinued.
I have been waiting for The taking it for the team series, for $78 it should come with a spatula. But with that beginning said I would love for you to try the new Nars foundation, Tom Ford traceless foundation and maybe Dior. XO
Love this new series! Have you done a video on the La Mer foundation?
LOVE this, thanks Marnie! I’m also very curious about ‘By Terry’ foundation.
From what I read regarding this foundation was that it is your skin but better. Whether Chantecaille is selling this foundation to be better than your skin then first thing they should’ve done was to have a far better delivery system than a pot or tub to dig out the product, especially for the expensive price and then another to have the product do a better job than needing to apply several layers. I agree with your review. Thank you for taking one for the team.
I agree Marnie!! I tried this a couple of years ago and was really disappointed. It was just a tinted moisturizer. I prefer a medium coverage foundation. For twenty dollars more ( or even less) you can get a much better product. The Chantecaille line does have some excellent products. This is just my feeling about the Future Skin.
Such an in depth review. I’m going to love this new series! TY. 👍🏻
Hi Marnie! Thank you for all the trouble you go thru for us. It's much appreciated. I'd love a review on La Prairie foundation if you could.
I would like to see the La Mer foundation reviewed, I recently bought their loose powder, it's not bad, doesn't settle in pores like most other powders do.
Thank you for this review! I have been wanting to try this one but have several other high end foundations to use up first. This is coming off my list for sure! By the description it is not for me!! I have extremely fair and dry skin and finding a shade online is a nightmare!! Thank you for your hard work I really enjoy your videos....Try the Chanel Sublimage I have it and love it, it has better coverage. The Lamer Soft Fluid is another one that has pretty good coverage!
I love the Chanel Sublimage! Its my holy grail ..looks great all day
I have extremely dry skin
Hi Kathi, I know I love the Chanel! It really has become my holy grail too! I am surprised that we don't hear of more women reviewing it!! I am glad to know I am not the only one that loves it!
The sublimage is so beautiful and I really love the little brush too. Not sure if you follow the beauty gypsy’s blog, / Instagram account, but it’s one of her favorites too. She has exquisite taste and is in her late forties. She just wrote on her blog a review of her top foundations.
I would love for you to review the LaMer foundation. Wonder if it is really as good as some You Tubers say? I have dry skin too so I’d love to see how it works for you.
I recently discovered Face Atelier and must say it’s the best foundation I’ve ever used. It has a satin and flawless finish, covers very well, but it’s very lightweight and feels as if your face is makeup free. I’ve already placed 3 orders because I want everything in this line.
My skin is super dry, dehydrated and pale and this is one of the only foundations that I can wear that sits beautifully on my skin. It is definitely light to medium coverage on me, not medium to full coverage, as you identified. I also think it is ridiculous that it doesn’t come with a spatula. Here in Australia I had to spend $110 to buy it. I wear it over the Hourglass Serum 28 primer, which wears with it beautifully. I do love the way it looks on my skin, but I’m not sure if I will repurchase it when I run out; if I can find another foundation that looks as nice, then I wouldn’t bother.
Yes, I agree with you on this foundation. It's more of an expensive tinted moisturizer.
Would love to see you try the By Terry Cellularose CC Cream! Kristina Braly says its great
Have you tried the Dior Air Flash? That is an awesome foundation. It definitely feels like you have nothing on.
It’s on my list!
You look amazing today! You are such a pleasure to watch. I love your reviews, you are so honest about the products you use. Where I live there are no upscale department stores. I try to watch videos with women with my skin type. You are Johnny on the spot! Have a blessed week.
Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into this review! Would you consider trying the By Terry Cellularose Brightening CC Serum? I see some use it under foundation and others as a base for a "no makeup" day. Is it worth the price?
Thank you for taking the time to really test it, then giving us your full, honest opinion.
Hey Marnie! Thx for ur honesty. I was also unimpressed by this foundation. OMG Marnie you will love the LanPrairie foundation! The new one with the concealer in the lid. It is now a holy grail for me 😊. Can you please try either the new Sisley for us or new Clé de Peau in a jar? Terribly $$$ I know 😮. Sorry! Xoxo 😘 Deb
Thanks for starting this series. Never heard of this brand, and since I am 66 with drier skin, I will not consider it. On to the next product...Your top is beautiful!
Hi Marnie. I've been looking for my holy grail foundation and have come up empty for years. I too pretty much grew up with basically next to nothing so even though I can afford better now, it's hard to pull the trigger on super high-end foundations that might be a fail. I did recently try the Tom Ford waterproof foundation and it's ok but not perfect. I've been wondering about the La Mer foundation.
Thank you so much for your thorough, honest, review. I am excited for this series - and am most interested in foundations too.
I will be 46 next month (am also fair) and very dry skinned, and finding a good foundation is getting tougher with every birthday....
I thought that foundation looked nice in this video, but the closeup in the sun didn’t look as flattering - it looked a bit heavy (you could see it was layered up). I’m someone who’d rather see flawed skin than makeup. Which is why finding a good foundation (covers but looks like skin) is sooo hard!
And I completely agree that there are lots of tinted moisturizer options that will perform similarly (or better) to that foundation for way less money (and in more hygienic packaging too).
Not a fan of the foundation to expensive for what it does. Thanks for your review and I’m looking forward to take one for the team series.
Like your new series, loved the “don’t look up my nose, there’s probably boogers up there...”! I was sipping tea when you said that and it just about came out of my nose! You are so elegant and yet so real! Love you! BTW, I broke down and purchased the La Mer and it’s my ride or die which just stinks because of the price, but the effect on my skin is worth it for me.
TOFTT is a great premise, Marnie. I am interested in the SK-II facial treatment essence (which I think you use) there is an apparent dupe by Missha which is more affordable, but still not cheap. Would love to see a TOFTT on that.
Thanks Marni!
I have 2 daughters your age Marnie, 43 and 45 ! Boy time sure does fly, I think it looks great on you, love your lippie and top ! Ps I would never spend $80 on a foundation, the IT CC CREAM is my go to, love it ! Thanks for taking one for the team tho, How about the Chanel Foundation, it is called Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet, it is $50... Angie Hot & Flashy calls it her best foundation ever ! Have a great rest of the week !
That is meant for oily skin
So ironic that I saw your video on this. I was just looking at this. I’m 52 with I believe dry skin only because of Retin A. Normally I’m oily so who knows. Lol. Anyways. I’m looking more into trying serum foundations with natural ingredients. Beauty habit has several. Check them out.
Nice review. Thanks Kim
Love this idea!! I am in search of a holy grail. Chantecaille Future Skin didn't do it for me either. I tried the Hourglass Veil (definitely more hydrating and oil-free, scent free). But by the end of the day (even with their primer) it left my skin. The color range is slim. I also tried their Illusion and it felt caky (oil-free, scent free). I do want a little glow. Me, I do not like a scent on my face, so that automatically leaves a lot of foundations out and I have to worry about sensitivity to botanicals because they often cause breakouts (Natural doesn't mean it's good for everyone's skin. Def not mine. I am 59 with pretty clear skin, dry patches on cheeks. Oilier in T-zone with a chin that can act up so I always opt for oil-free but lately, they've been drying. The only foundation that has shown promise is the Mac Water Weight (and I am not a Mac girl) which I am testing (fragrance-free). I've tried Surrat (oil-free, fragrance-free, a little heavier but easily sheered out. Not a fan of the brush). I wish Chanel would cut the use of scent and alcohol. If you have any other ideas, I am all ears. So far, the best foundation for me has been the Jouer oil-free luminizing moisture tint (but I have to mix two colors). The search goes on. I look forward to your next review and agree with your experience.
Tom Ford blush, TF quads, TF traceless perfecting foundation, charlotte tilbury shadow palette, by terry foundations and concealer, cle de peau foundations (I already know the concealer is great), la mer foundation (soft fluid) and stick concealer. I’d be interested mostly in foundations and concealers, with this series.
Thank you so much for the review! I almost pulled the trigger, but because of your revuew, im sure it's not for me. You saved me a ton!
Great series idea! I'm curious about la prairie or la mer. I've been very impressed with Chanel sublimage foundation. It's tough when higher end brands aren't available in store Thanks for helping out the "team".
Love the series.... You really are taking the hit!! I never thought I would wear high end, but love the Bobbi Brown foundation. She is no longer with the brand now, Estée Lauder, so we'll see what changes take place, but for now, great! Really good for older skin, at least this older skin.
I'm a huge foundation junkie! 💸 Chante Just Skin is my go to light coverage base. On not so great skin days, I prefer it mixed with ITC CC Cream.🤗 I'm very excited about this series!👍 Haven't even finished the video but I'm already planning a little outing to a makeup counter.😉
this burgandy colour look gorgeous on you!
I hope you do the La Mer foundation. People rave about that one as well. I loved this review bc I do not think it provides enough coverage, for one application (I don't like doing double layers bc I think it loos cakey in places.). And for $78,, it seriously needs to wow me!!
I love seeing reviews on high end foundation so I’m looking forward to the next one. I would also love to see you review some stupidly expensive mascaras like the chantacaille one that is supposed to make your lashes grow. Tati swears by that one and I’d love to know your opinion on it.
Kevin Aucoin. It's one I haven't tried. At 60, I tend to steer away from high end...I've always found them not worth the money, and I've tried them all. Less expensive brands usually have more color selection, better research depts, thus non-irritating products (ie...Estee Lauder). My 2cents :) Thanks for your review!
I love this idea for your new video series! Thank you very much. Also, would you review the Ko Gen Doh Foundation? I don't believe they sell it in Nordstrom's store but they DO sell it at Nordstrom's on-line. Love you Marnie!
Marine, thanks for your honest review it helps a lot. I wouldn’t try this foundation because of the shade range. I love the idea of this series. Thanks for keeping us informed! Your hair is gorgeous by the way ❤️
Have you done a review of the La Mer foundation? I seem to remember you doing one. If not, I would to hear your opinion on it.
I haven’t yet!
Ohh I like that you said Yet! :)
I can’t believe they advertised this as med to full coverage! Love your makeup in this video, you look great!
I love the concept of your one for the team,i would like it if you included some organic foundations ie kjaer weis or gressa which are higher end organic brands.
So excited for this series!!! I hope you try the La Prarie!!!
I'm also 44, with dry skin and slightly darker complexion....but I do not wear foundation (yet). I haven't mustered the courage since I would not even know how to look for one?? I do wear (almost)I everything else you have recommended! Still love all your videos, so informative. Maybe after a few foundation reviews I will go and buy a few to test. I a appreciate your reviews!! :):)
