**** SKIN TYPE ETC. ****
I am 38 and my skin is pretty "normal" with no dryness or particular oily areas. I do have early signs of aging like fine lines/texture, as well as some sun damage and REDNESS!
I don't use fake tan, but I get very tan naturally in the summer as I have an olive undertone so my face is often a LOT lighter than my body, because I keep my face very well protected to keep my melasma under control and signs of aging at bay!

Skin type does really make all the difference with our preferences. I bought and love the new Nars foundation and I'm combo with a quite oily Tzone. Its a nice glow but not too much like the CT on me which breaks down and I'm glad I got to try a sample. I also love the Chanel No. 1, my other new foundation purchase this year and I find it quite long wearing, but I do set it.

Thank you so much for an entertaining and informative review! My current favourite is the Chanel Ultra Le Teint - I am curious about your thoughts on this one (I'll search to see if you've made a review!) as I think this is fabulous for lasting and doesn't look "dead matte". I work long days as a teacher and longevity is one of my deal-breakers! I have been debating whether or not to blind buy Chanel No 1 (as this foundation is not available in shops in my country, only online and no samples offered), but at the equivalent of 80 UK pounds, I am now wondering if it's worth it, so thank you for talking about the longevity on this one!

Another great video, thank you Charlotte ! For me, the new Nars has shot to the first place, I just can't stop reaching for it. I have a perfect shade match, it's beautiful on the skin, a little goes a long way...amazing. I tried the Charlotte Tilbury but I'm one of the people for whom it didn't work, sadly.

Great video! I also love the Chanel nr 1 foundation. I don't have the same issues with it, though. I don't feel like I have to use a lot. I do like to set my foundation, so I do that with this one too, and it wears very well. It looks so beautiful, I just love it. But oh my Lord, the fragrance! It is A LOT! Now I must say, I use fragrance free skincare, and usually fragrance free make up, too. Sometimes I make an exception, like with this one. But damn, why so much?! It really lingers for quite a while. But I will tolerate it, I love it that much. Nice list you have. The only oddity on it seems to be the Lisa Eldrigde, not your typical style. You just never know, right? Thanks for the video!

Great reviews. You are so right about the Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate. Really great shades, and most importantly the undertones. I have samples, it’s gorgeous. I also love the Chanel Sublimage L’Essence one, (not the one in the jar). That one is amazing, but more for a drier skin type. I haven’t tried the #1 by Chanel yet, sounds like a thin formulation. I love the Estée Lauder Hydra Rescue one as well. Almost done with it. The NARS new one was just ok for me. CT didn’t work for me. It’s all about skin type, for sure. I tried samples of the CdP Radiant Natural, very nice as well. But, out of the many, that I have tried, and own, it’s the Chanel Sublimage (pump one), and TF Shade and Illuminate.

@flopipop5376 Жыл бұрын

I like the Chanel number 1, I decided too give it a try because it was more on the clean beauty side : no silicones or alcohol and I find it nice. What surprises me however is that more than one pump is needed :) but I understood this better after watching a video on French make up. We use much less product and like toned down classic chic make up . I noticed that French make up has better neutral colours, not as yellowish as many others. That also gives a better fit to many skins.

It was too fine and after hearing your review of it I probably didn’t put enough on. It also didn’t last and I never got the glow nor luminosity! Excited to try the Nars and Tilbury. My favorites now are Ford S & I, CDP radiant natural and I do love Gucci for my matte. I also like NudeStix foundation for easy glow. Love this review, thank you!!

Very interesting to watch. Foundation was the sole reason I got into makeup. As a teenager I just wanted my skin to look perfect. Obviously that didn't work. I was already perfect (snort!) But the thing is I got very good with it. Girls/women/crones maybe don't worry about looking natural, but as the boy I once was, I'd loathe to be caught with looking like I was wearing something on my face. "Your foundation looks great" isn't a compliment in any way you look at it. But having been a person who owned 30+ foundations, I have come to the conclusion it's not really what foundation you use that's important. It's how you apply it. I learned it on my own, so I apply it minute amounts with my fingers where I see 'problems' and go from there. Beautyblenders? If you think you need them, just practice more. The gist of my rambling is that you can any foundation work for you. I won't stop looking for my 'holy grail', but it doesn't take a degree in neuroscience to make what you already own work.

At 33 I finally have a foundation that not only works on my skin but looks incredible. I have THE most frustrating skin because of multiple medical issues, rarely does a foundation even look half decent without significant work and never looks good after a couple of hours. As someone who needs to look “done” to have any confidence it’s a blow to have to be a patchy red mess and have people constantly asking if I’m ok. Until I got the new Nars foundation, I bought it and the CT praying one of them would work for me and shockingly for the first time in my life I can wear BOTH but the Nars makes my skin look so beautiful that I seriously tear up when I first put it on. Now I’ll be terrified that they’ll one day discontinue it!

It’s as described, a soft matte, with a slight radiant finish, lasts my entire work day, doesn’t oxidize, and has a solid medium coverage. I don’t regret buying it and I use it regularly. As for the price tag, I’ll be honest it’s not worth $130 or even $104 with the Sephora rouge discount. It’s still a lovely foundation but I actually much prefer the combo of Chanel Ultra le Teint foundation with Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter underneath to bring back the healthy glow. Fun fact: this combo comes to $104 at regular price 😉. Either way happy shopping and I hope you have a beautiful day.

I have both tom ford. I love the soft matte for a night out . Chanel is my No 1 daily foundation . Ones I don't have yet and you made me want to buy them are the shiseido, nars, charlotte and lisa eldridge. I have a dresser draw full of foundation though so I may need to use those first haha

Have you tried the Clé de Peau Beauté Radiant Cream Foundation?

After watching your video, I'm so hype and decide to buy Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Foundation. I also want to try CLÉ DE PEAU but it's even more expensive than Tom Ford 🥲🥲. My skin is Asian oily combination skin + using strong retinol + harsh Nordic winter. I have tried many foundations from mid to high , powder, liquid, balm, cushion and not a single one ok to me. Too moisturize , too dry, too thick, too thin, oxidize too fast. The Tom Ford is soooo good, can say it's worth the price. Very natural, feel comfortable, not too oily or dry (still a bit oily but not the level I need to touch up), medium coverage, not emphasy fine line though large pores are still there 😂😂😂.

I love a good ranking video. I do prefer a Tom Ford base 👌🏽 Also love the hydra futurist, but I notice it separates terribly in the tube , so much so I can’t get it back together by shaking or mushing the tube , have you noticed that?! Like the spf is visible in the tube?!

If you like glowy, have you tried Ellis Faas? The most beautiful unique glow, and the most terrible shade range, though I think you might be lucky with their one darker medium olive toned one

hi sorry i can’t bring myself to buy charlotte tilbury again after the last time of having such a horrendous reaction to her primer / plus foundation i nearly ended up in a/e i was so ill , so no , i just couldn’t go there again ! its the only time since i started used makeup this happened it took me by surprise , but hey never mind you live and learn , i knew Tom Ford was going to be your favourite, mine will always be Estee Lauder with armani Luminous Silk , i think being a mature lady they for me are working for me , but i will alway try others as long as they are not charlotte Tilbury i have no idea what ingredients caused my reaction but i will not be going there again , but thank you for your hard work , my love as always liz x

It would be really helpful and meaningful if you can feature how the respective foundations wear visually, and whether they oxidize、do they sit in lines、blur pores、cover pigmentaions etc. Let's be honest, your verbal description can be very objective, right?

How would you compare the new NARS to the sheer glow and the Radiant Longwear which are all medium buildable....

@CharlotteHoldcroft 2 жыл бұрын

Sheer glow is my least favourite of the Nars foundations, its less glowy and heavier than the light reflecting. Radiant longwear is similar in coverage but again, less of the glow that light reflecting gives the skin, less natural looking and not as flattering on problem areas. x
