Best Foundation For Over 40's And Over 50's? | Mature skin

[@sulakaricats]

A big no for me essential oils and fragrance…not for sensitive skin, I’m glad you review these products Gemma and this saves me from spending money on products I can’t use

[@nunt2]

I was so hyped until this... :/ Oh well, money saved.

[@valgarrett63]

same for me. I get a terrible allergic reaction on my skin to essential oils and fragrance

[@rhondagoodman9993]

I enjoy these makeup testing videos. I prefer them to videos on skin care.

[@littlevoice_11]

That's interesting. I prefer skincare 😊 Thankfully she does both. But I tend to notice more frequent makeup. Maybe they'll be more hybrid products coming soon 😊

[@Lucy-mf5gk]

Revlon is fantastic. Colourstay & illuminance. So underrated. Really like l'oreal infallible too & McoBeauty.

[@lozpopo]

Revlon do a lovely light coverage CC cream type thing called Candid, I think its been discontinued cause I cant find it anywhere but it was so so good! One of the only CC creams that actually held up past lunchtime on my face.

[@allisonbingham6785]

Bought it on Friday, wore it Saturday and wasn't very impressed. It was fine but I didn't get the promised glow and my skin looked quite dull. I'm 53 with good skin that occasionally has dry patches. My favourites are No 7 Restore & Renew and Sculpted by Aimee Hydra Tint Skin Serum.

[@bambina3148]

I absolutely love hydra tint ❤

[@kirstifitzpatrick]

Hi Gemma im 54 and I love this foundation it lasts me all day and I don't have any dry patches I love this its light weight even with my concealer for dark circles tried the hack and it doesnt settle into my fine lines either it gives me a soft dewy glow which i love ❤

[@katrinsouthern9317]

Thanks, I'm considering buying it, so your feedback was super helpful together with Gemma's.

[@kirstifitzpatrick]

@@katrinsouthern9317 hope it works for you like it has with me I love it

Still looking for light, natural looking foundation for my 60 year old skin. Need something easy, and faff-free. Bought this in F6. Found it emphasised texture and agree, it showed up ‘hidden’ dry patches. I can’t be done with checking my make up several times a day so this has gone into the ‘good idea but not worth it’ drawer where I can’t face chucking it away so may try again in a few weeks .

[@paulaprosser7045]

I tried the Rimmel skin tint on your recommendation and its absolutely fantastic .. exactly what im looking for from a foundation ...

[@iwillstom]

Gemma, I was legitimately just thinking about messaging you about the very problem you mentioned. I don’t wear foundation every day, or sometimes more than once a week. So I go along thinking my face looks hydrated and that the regular exfoliation and moisturizing I do is effective. Then boom, I apply foundation-flakes everywhere. It definitely happens more in winter but it’s a year round thing for me. It’s so maddening thinking your skin is in good shape only to find a bunch of flakes are lurking under all those layers of hydration. Many times it ruins a foundation application when I’m in a hurry and exfoliating immediately doesn’t fix it. 😩

[@sadlumup]

I tired it and it is just ok. I am 69 yrs old and I’m always trying new makeup. I always go back to Catrice true match, it’s just the best and it’s only 10 bucks! I haven’t found any other foundation, expensive or not that beats it! Thank you for your review! Good job and God bless!!!

[@gemmastone2202]

Can you refresh us on recommendations for natural matte foundations please? I’m on the hunt 🙏

[@disharpe3290]

Jen Phelps recently reviewed Make Up Forever HD Skin Hydra Glow which she really rates as a foundation for dry skin, the finish is more of a satin finish and I have ordered from Sephora UK to try out.

[@MichelleLeone66]

Thanks for giving us this make up testing video. I think that will be a pass for me. Please keep doing the skincare ones too!!

[@joannpare3978]

I’m actually glad you didn’t rave about this foundation lol. Then I would’ve gone out and bought it and I already have way too much. I’m trying to buy less but that seems to be a struggle. I love your videos!

[@rosie7538]

Thanks for your honest review. I would've probably tried this one, but I'm oily with flaky bits, so will probably save my money this time. Thank you Gemma🙏❤️

[@just2lovable]

Have you tried exfoliating and adding a thicker moisturiser?

[@claredyj2015]

Interesting video Gem, could you do a video on the best serum foundations? Mixture of affordable and high end? ❤❤

[@deborahbather7808]

The L'Oréal one is lovely!! ❤

[@claredyj2015]

@@deborahbather7808 Thanks, I tried that and loved it! Will repurchase! 😊

[@gemmastone2202]

I’m finding it very similar to the L’Oréal plumping serum, with a better shade range but a bit more clingy. It’s very glowy on me (40, normal skin) but it’s ok.

[@mgromz]

I can’t understand why there are so few cool undertones to choose from! 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

[@harry4319]

really need to give the testers I have of this. I recently tried the Laura Mercier foundation... glad it was a sample wasn't blown away unfortunately.

[@rebeccac.1758]

I love it, but it broke me out badly, so I never used it more than once.

[@renadempsey842]

Great review!! Can you do a hair video? Love the colour, how do nourish? Repair? Your super blonde is beautiful and best Ive seen on you!

[@j2thejoseph]

Is there anyway you could do a video on which sun block/spf is worth buying? I struggle with find one that doesn’t pill up when putting foundation on top as well as being for sensitive skin. I really enjoy your vids. Been a fan since nearly your beginning. Keep up the great vids. 😃

[@andrearose675]

@pampered wolf so you said no this isn’t your Favorite but you prefer a natural matte coverage. Can you do an updated top foundation video with maybe some high end and low end options in this category?

[@luvzdogz]

Interesting, I have the same "weird" pattern on my face. Oily t-zone, dry flaky around my mouth. And I can't figure out why! It's a fairly new situation for me. I started tretinoin a while ago, thought it might be that, so I'm very careful to not apply it anywhere near my mouth or upper lip. I guess it's just an age-related change! 😊

[@beautybev]

Thanks for your review Gemma, I was going to buy this one but it’s a pass for me. I’ll stick to my wet n wild tinted hydrator ❤

[@gladysgarrity5721]

Hey Gemma great video as always I picked one up a few days ago I got F7 the colour range is a bit strange as it goes from light to dark the shade range so I picked up f7 as the other ones were to light It lasted all day but I had to power it I have to say I don’t have any dry skin so it was okay on me but it will be interesting to see what it’s like on other skin types take care see you soon ❤

[@JujuS93]

Gemma do have a video that goes over how to build up foundation? I don’t know if this is silly but I’ve never been successful building up foundation.

[@jessicas9136]

Everyone talks about properly preparing skin before applying makeup, but sometimes I feel and look well moisturized until foundation is applied. What tips do you have once makeup is applied? Do you need to remove and start over?

[@daddyzgurl5221]

Thank you for all your videos and honesty!! I have to know if you've tried IL Makiage! It's supposedly amazing for people our age or older. If you have tried it and I somehow missed it, I apologize for asking. Thanks again!!

[@katam3310]

Not for me 😅, i prefer my Loreal infalible or nude serum... But thank you ❤, revolution is a no for me in general 🤷, 😘

[@AndreeaC.]

The only 2 products i like from them is the cream bronzer and their matte setting spray and that's it😅, i find the shades in foundations and concealers very peachy and pinky leaning!

[@katam3310]

@@AndreeaC. Here I can buy something but not a lot so it's hard to get anything, not what I'm looking for plus I'm lost in all revolution brands 😅

[@lynettewalsh4918]

Appreciate the helpful advice for this foundation

[@SmileyShazza]

I'm 49 with normal skin which has some fine lines. My main issues are slight texture and open pores. I'd say I'm a light - medium neutral but tends to lean more towards cool than warm. I ordered the shade F6 and think it's probably too pale for me. I found it difficult to match my shade using the online shade finder - they suggested shade 3.5 fore which would've been WAY too light for me, even during the depths of winter where my skin is quite pale. It applies nicely whether I use my fingers, a brush or a sponge. I think the coverage is pretty good it evens out my skin tone and gives my skin a slight satin finish. I was expecting it to be slightly more glowy but am not mad at the level of glow it does give. It seems to wear well but I definitely can't get 12 hours out of it even if I've powdered it down and used setting spray. I don't find it gets more glowy during the day but I am recovering from a very bad cold and Sinusitis so my skin is probably not looking it's best generally at the moment so the longevity may improve once my skin is back to it's normal condition. Like you, I think it's just ok. It won't be one I'll turn to when I want to look flawless or for special occasions. This will be more of a popping to the shops, taking the kids to the park, skin needs to look more even and healthy type product for me. It's worth a try but it's definitely not my favourite affordable foundation.

[@EstherNathalie190]

Hi Gemma,i have very dry skin.Thank you for the revieuw.

[@littlevoice_11]

Would it be possible to do a video on primers please? I dont really like makeup but want to hide pores and improve texture. Is it possible to wear primer without makeup? I feels as though i need a Pampered Wolf Prime Right video (hint hint) 🤞 I love your skincare videos.

[@peggybaumgardt7909]

Your comment about the dry patches that show up once you apply foundation totally happened this morning to me. It’s like, where the heck did that dry patch come from on my chin?! So Gemma, is there a dry a foundation that wouldn’t cling to dry patches?

[@PamperedWolf]

Generally richer, thicker, creamier foundations tend to work better for me when my skin is dry. X

[@natashad1272]

Haven't tried this one but having tried other complexion products from this brand I find the undertones are really off (at least for me as a person of colour). Their "golden" undertones are actually quite pink! 🙄 I'm finding that foundations just aren't right for my ageing skin these days and prefer the look and feel of tinted moisturisers (just wish the shade ranges for this category were better!)

[@beverleyjones9000]

Love your videos. Thank you very much ❤xx

[@AnnaLee-d4t]

I don't know what's going on at make up revolutions website because the other day when I bought the foundation I bought F1 it said it had a neutral undertone and F6 with it saying that had a neutral undertone, I have gone back and now I see that it says F1 has a yellow undertone but it's not true, I tried it with putting a bit on when I got it to see if it matched and it was just a bit light for my skin but it made me look pale not yellow, F6 is to dark for me so I'm thinking of trying to mix some of that into the F1 as there is no more neutral shade in between the two shades, I actually find the shade range poor and confusing for someone not that experienced with make up.

[@anitablanca5050]

Got today from Superdrug F10 it’s just ok .. the shade range is ridiculous my colour is mad orange described as natural shade right 🙄 looks natural but not so glowy as promised

[@eefjebols30]

It started to itch and I got red spots, my skin was a mess! Terrible!

[@SewWhittle]

What’s the best way to find your correct shade of this foundation? TIA

[@rusoprui]

What are your favorite drugstore fountains?

[@jodicox3717]

Same with me, looked nice fresh on but when I looked in the mirror in work 2 hours later I actually burst out laughing as I looked pixilated it was that pilly and dotty! Awful. The only revolution foundation I've ever found to be nice and wear well is the super serum foundation, but still not transfer proof!

[@TheKeti1980]

Hi Gemma, what's the brush you're using for foundation? And can you recommend some affordable foundation brushes? Thanx

[@PamperedWolf]

I haven’t found any affordable makeup brushes that didn’t feel scratchy on my skin. The search continues. I used the Zoeva 104 in the video x

[@littlevoice_11]

Any news on ELF? Have you changed your views since the ingredient debacle on one of their items? Do you still recommend their others?

[@PamperedWolf]

Still no reply from Elf. 😞

[@littlevoice_11]

@PamperedWolf if they never reply will you always doubt them? I'm curious about their skincare in terms of effectiveness

[@marlenekerrmarlene1259]

no havent heard of the foundation

[@mariemcgrath8681]

Not for me, sorry. Good honest revew.
