I wish ALL brands that only sell online or those which have few in store counters, would sell samples of their foundations. It would certainly make it a lot easier to get the right colour, and save money from making mistakes 😤. Stay well. Love from the UK 💙.

When you first applied it, it looked a little warm on your skin. But once your whole face was done, it looked great. My skin tone is similar and I have rosacea. Ordering some samples to figure out my shade!

Hi Mandy. I used to buy Face Atelier from QVC back in the day. I don’t believe they’re selling it anymore. You stated it all perfectly. It really is beautiful, goes on smooth, has very good coverage and is great for more dry, mature skin. It looks stunning on you! 💗

Thank you for this review Mandy. I am over 70 and still have a love of foundation. You are spot on recommending this for mature skin. I have tried so many different foundations but as you age you can't look good with some of the foundations you used when younger. I have pretty normal skin that can get dry if I don't take care of it. I adore this foundation as it doesn't settle into or emphasise lines. I love how it reflects light and makes your skin look great. Initially it wouldn't stay on very well but it was user error. It needs to be given a really good shake. I apply with a soft brush and it never looks cakey. I do powder it lightly and now it lasts all day. I love your honest reviews. Of course you do have gorgeous skin so you always look beautiful whatever you wear.

I’ve tried this foundation on my very dry, older skin and fully agree with your assessment. I have tried many others since I found this one (at the recommendation of Lisa J) but I don’t think I’ve found anything better. I particularly value your foundation reviews. I’ve found that each one I get on your recommendation really suits me. More than everyone I follow on KZfaq (and I follow many others too) my skin seems to like what works well for you!

I had purchased my last bottle on QVC but just checked and they aren't carrying it anymore. Love this stuff! Stay well💖💖

Most of the Face Atelier shades have a yellow undertone. I purchased a medium shade when QVC was selling it. What can I do to lessen the yellow undertone? I have more of a neutral undertone. I love the way the foundation wears but never reach for it much because of its yellow undertone.
@MandyDavisMUA4 жыл бұрын
Hey Marianne! I am all about foundation mixology and love to mix them. So, if you have one already in your stash that is more on the pink side, you could mix them and have the result be more neutral. I find the FA to be a wonderful mixing foundation.

Hey Mandy thanks for this! Love knowing it works so well. As far as mixing with the Nars Sheer Glow, is it to take out a little luminosity in the finish or just give a more blurring effect to the skin? The Sheer Glow on its own is not moisturizing enough on my dry mature skin.

It seems to knock down the luminosity to the skin and helps the longevity if you have an oilier skin type. :) If you have dry mature skin, I think you would love the Face Atelier on it's own. :)

If you have truly cool undertones, you would likely need to mix with a pinker foundation. If you just have redness, the yellow undertones do wonders to cover that. Hope this helps!

Hi Mandy I purchased this foundation for my studio as I was doing makeup on mature women and yes I agree it is so lovely on the skin. My only complaint is that their foundations are all pretty warm and I had to adjust it sometimes for my cool skin undertones (which is ok) by just mixing with another foundation - I haven't tried the Nars Sheer Glow yet. Just wish they had a little more choices in their colours. Thanks for the review xo Jackie
