My love of foundation review videos has caused me to do these side by sides on myself on weekend mornings just for fun 😂. I've discovered a couple things. 1. I wear so many different shades in different foundations, cools warms, neutrals and even one olive ( Tom Ford) they never look noticably different next to each other on my face, how they wear and look in general is different leading me to conclusion 2 2. I have a good side and a bad side of my face no matter what foundation is on either ! It's the opposite of what seems normal it's my left side that would be in the sun more due to driving, seems I can put dirt on that side and it still looks better than my right 😅😮😂

Kathy My skin is very dry. I am not exaggerating if I tell you that I have tried most of the i high end brands for dry skin. The only foundation that suits my skin is kryolan supracolor. Many people ask me what kind of foundation I use. It is really beautiful. Its only drawback is that it needs a specific technique when applying it on the face. You must prepare a soft, soft sponge that is not tight in texture and be wet. Then take some of the foundation and apply it on the face by wiping, not patting.

@kathyabeauty Жыл бұрын

@نورا نورا Thanks for that suggestion, plus the application method that works well for dry skin. I wish the more pro brands like Kryolan and RCMA and Mehron were more readily available to the general public in common stores like Ulta or Target, because to get the correct shade is difficult and perhaps we can find it on Amazon here in the states. I've only tried Kryolan for costume-special effects makeup, but I'll seek out my shade in this and try the foundation! Thank you!

@user-yt2jw8jl3j Жыл бұрын

Kathy You are welcome, my dear, and thank you for your response. This is of your kindness. I hope you find the right foundation for your skin. If you want to buy kryolan, do not buy it from Amazon, I advise you to buy it from their website. 💐💐

I found the Revlon Illuminance at Target for $16.99 and Walmart's price was $13.48. Walmart also had a lot more shades available in-store than Target had. I'm really enjoying it as it looks very natural on my skin and is lightweight/comfortable to wear. 😊 I agree about the Makeup by Mario in that it looks dewy but not necessarily shimmery. I also agree about the shade/numbering system with the Revlon. I too peeled off the seal and stuck it on the bottom of the bottle. Lol! Your Target sounds like my Walmart. It's a mess. I wear the same shade (espresso) in the NYX brow products. I have the Lift n Snatch brow micro pen. It works well but dries fast so no time to correct mistakes. 😵‍💫

@goow Жыл бұрын

Wow good to know with the Nyx pen! I can't say I'm a huge fan of this fluff pencil. The brush doesn't separate brow hairs at all so I'm not sure if it's really even doing anything.

@rabbiroz3806 Жыл бұрын

I MUCH prefer the Revlon Illuminance. The initial wear is the same, but the Mario breaks down after a few hours (like maybe 4 hours). The only way I can use the Mario is to mix it with a long wearing foundation, which kind of defeats the purpose!

@PetraLilith675 Жыл бұрын

I can’t stand when you get a very expensive product and it’s so finicky that you have to make your own concoction for it to even work. I love the Revlon, and I am a primer girl, but find this doesn’t even really need one. Also, it’s very light on the skin like a CC or BB cream, but gives more coverage than a lot of them. They need to expand their undertones because they suck. They have very few cool and just as few neutral undertones while the rest are warm tone, and unless you mix something in, the wrong undertone can make a very good product look horrible.

I didn’t think there was any glitter in the MBM either until one day I was driving in direct sunlight and happens to catch myself in the mirror and was shimmering like Edward Cullen lol. It’s super subtle but can see it in direct sunlight.

@karenkiolbassa Жыл бұрын

I think the Revlon shades are weird because of the way they do undertones. I’m fair olive. With Revlon, sometimes the shade that I need is a higher number but better undertone and lighter. It is weird. There are a few other brands that seem to work that way but I can’t remember which off the top of my head. It’s obvious to me now when I look at swatches. I do want to try the Revlon one but our Walmart here in the city is small and has a limited selection. I probably should try Target instead. Both the foundations look good on you. Thanks for the comparison

Thank you for that comparison. I have been ripping through the drugstore foundations lately. Even revisited Rimmel lasting foundation. It has a pump now. I got the Covergirl gloss, but it smelled so bad had to toss it. We have a Walmart close to us that is always in complete shambles but the one a few miles away is neat and tidy. My kids always got so annoyed when I made them put things back where they got them from. Now they are adults and have worked retail, they understand. I worked in retail and it was frustrating finding items left all over the place. Now sometimes I even "re-stock" the makeup products into the right slots while I am browsing. I know, weird, but at least the next shopper will have a better chance at finding what they are looking for.

After a few wears now, the Elf glow sunscreen is meh. It looks like a glazed donut on the skin so it's not really wearable on its own, and it doesn't seem to improve wear or anything that a primer typically does. It is however a nice little glow boost under foundation, so I'll keep using it, but I probably won't repurchase. It pilled up a bit under 1 of the 3 foundations I've worn it with so far (can't remember which one).

Those CG Yummy lip glosses are no better than what I can find at the dollar store and they run $11. For how crazy of a hype they’ve gotten, I was very disappointed and most the shades end up looking the exact same. So if you want any color at all, and even then it’ll be pretty sheer, I’d recommend the darkest shades. They don’t apply like it looks, but most you’ll get is a pink, whether it is the Acai or the strawberry (deepest shades they have.) They are incredibly thick too.

She nearly put twice as much of the Mario side on her one side than she used for the Revlon, so that’s why Mario gave more coverage initially, until she added more after blending the first layer in. I am surprised 117 worked for you. Usually we are the same shade and 117 was way too dark and yellow for me. I had to get the 109 which was more neutral and peachy than yellow. Seems the Revlon has a built in primer, if you will, because often times a primer will mess it up vs when it’s applied and worn on its own. Primers can cause it to emphasize what you are trying to hide. If you get this and don’t like it, try it on its own before you throw in the towel or use different primers to see what works best because it really is a great foundation (especially for more mature skin who wants a natural finish but something with enough coverage to even out your skin.)

I paid $14. for the Revlon at Walmart. At 67 I won’t pay $42. for foundation anymore.

@GeorgiesMom723 Жыл бұрын

In my opinion, there’s no comparison at all. The Mario side looks flawless with a lit from within look. Revlon looks heavy and enlarged your pores a bit. The famous Mario shimmer is on the inside of the bottle - not in the product.

That would explain the shimmer!!!! I've been so confused. Some people say they see it on my face but I've tried and tried and I just don't see any in the product.

The elf sunscreen burned so badly! I used it one time and immediately returned. So disappointed. I'll have to stick with mineral sunscreens.

It doesn't burn me but it's definitely a glazed donut kind of look which is not usually what I'm going for.

Love your videos!! Question though, if you wanted medium coverage and had to use more of the Revlon for the same effect, wouldn't the cost be almost the same? How much product is in each bottle?? I am a light coverage kind of girl, so Revlon would be my choice, but I am still curious about the overall cost.

@goow Жыл бұрын

They're both one ounce bottles in this case. Since $42 is 2.3x as much as $18, if you used 2.3 times as much of the cheaper foundation to reach the same coverage of the more expensive one, they'd be basically equivalent in price per use - but that's a LOT of foundation for one use, so even though at a higher usage rate, the cheaper foundation is not a 1:1 price comparison, if you used say 1.5 times as much foundation (I'd say that's probably reasonable, maybe even a little bit over), the price comparison then is more like $42 to $27 - still a bargain in this comparison.

I tried to find this bronzer on Walmart’s website. There is a third party vendor selling it for $46.00😳-no thank you. People are so greedy. I know that people go into business to make money but really? Anyway, I will keep looking lol 🙂💜

It sounds like Flower Beauty is going a big expansion behind the scenes so whatever makeup is in stores will be selling out and then they're re-launching with both makeup and lifestyle products (that's how I'm reading their message on their web site, anyway!)

I see the "shimmer" in the Mario. I would guess it has mica in it. Yep, just checked it. It does have mica (but low in the list). That would be the "light reflective" you are seeing. I'm more of a matte/satin girl. I don’t like mica!
