BEST FOUNDATIONS OF 2020 | Dry Skin

[@embeth446]

Enjoyed hearing your favorites, thanks! I miss the days of being able to get foundation samples. :( I’d love to sample so many of these.

[@goow]

I miss samples so much!!! Now it's a total guessing game on shades!

[@tarafallon7678]

Brands should offer a shade range blister pack for sale. So many would pay $10 for a narrow range for assurance, thus guaranteed higher online purchases.

[@chandracox6814]

Hands down the best foundation this year for me is L'oreal Age Perfect. It's great for Summer and Winter and the price is fantastic. I'll likely use it forever!

[@helpfulnatural]

Totally agree! Love that foundation! :)

[@nameissturdy1390]

Good to know!

[@olzhena9681]

And it is perfect dupe for La Mer foundation. 😊🙌

[@TheHdubs]

oooo i need to try it!!!

[@darkdemonqueen]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@kathybrou1340]

The Milk stick and the Loreal are my two favorites this year. The milk is my everyday grab and go. My skin loves it. I have dry dry skin that does not like thick makeup. Bought the Loreal because of you. Beautiful.

[@tarafallon7678]

Bonus Kudos... Thank you so very much for including the $ price in the product name. You’re amazing and so in touch with your audience.

[@goow]

Thanks, Tara!!

[@ALT-vz3jn]

Dior Backstage foundation was nothing short of life-changing for my 50 year-old skin. Now I feel validated to see it in your top spot 😜

[@goow]

It still blows my mind! It shouldn't work on me but it's amazing!

[@bethbilous4720]

I'm blown away too with Dior backstage. 59 year old face, I think my new Holy Grail

[@kimberlyj1389]

I have very dry skin and I was shocked at how awesome the YSL looks on my skin. It is beautiful and one of the very few foundations that actually look good on my nose upon first application! Definately worth the price in my opinion!!!

[@gladysmariesantiago8361]

Now I have more reasons to buy Dior Backstage Face & Body! Thank you for helping me decide ❤️

[@pennysportal]

I am so impressed by how many foundation reviews you do and how thorough you are! I love the PUR Love Your Selfie foundation too! 💖

[@goow]

Thanks, Penny!

[@WeirdAlpha]

Thats my die hard favorite. I love their whole line. I got samples of the cleanser and moisturizer with purchase when i bought it online from Kohls (of all places). and if you use all of them together, its even better. i will buy full size when they run out. totally impressed.

[@xzor2101]

Hello Shelly, world here. Mac face and body is the awesomest weirdest most fabulous foundation 😁. Also, I know how you feel wanting to SEE all your makeup... I couldn’t bear to stick all those beautiful pallets and bottles in drawers anymore, so I got a glass curio cabinet, and it is so satisfying to see it all, in its sparkly shiny glory. You might like them, they also keep the bottles dust free and you can add lights too. Thanks for the reviews and stay healthy

[@goow]

That is a fantastic idea!!!!! I will have to start looking for one for when I move into the new room wheeeee this makes me so excited!!

[@marydonovan4174]

Fantastic review. I dont feel so guilty about my 10 foundations now. Great job! A+

[@goow]

In my view, foundations are like any other makeup! You need options because sometimes you want light coverage, sometimes full. Sometimes you want natural, sometimes dewy, sometimes matte! Sometimes you want everyday, sometimes full glam! Different coverages and finishes are hard to pull off with just one foundation :) So if you ever need to rationalize having 10, there ya go! 😂

[@mysticrosehealings]

As a fellow dry skin girl, I am so thankful for your channel and reviews! Blessings!

[@kimberlyplayer]

Thanks for this! I still need to try the Yensa and Mac face and body. I will put that on my list for 2021. I'm so glad you decided to make this one. Helps me out more than you could imagine.

[@flocali3270]

Girl....you are a GEM!!! I absolutely love all the descriptions of all these phenomenal foundations! You did an amazing job from start to finish!!!

[@melaniew8805]

As someone who only wears foundation, concealer and blush my favorite videos are foundation related so I loved this one. Little sad that my favorite La Mer fluid foundation didn’t make the list again but I understand we are all different in what our skin needs to look it’s best & I also love your # 1 pick. You are my favorite KZbin makeup gal. Thank you!

[@angwatso]

Shelly! Your makeup application skills are noticeable! Your courses are really paying off! Not that it looked bad before. I have just thought, dang!, in your last couple of videos!

[@goow]

Thanks, Angie!!

[@KlaraCollins1972]

Appreciate and love your honest and informative reviews, I have purchased much of my makeup based on your "Likes" and 95 percent of the time you are spot on with your assessment of products for my skin type. Thank you so much.

[@WeirdAlpha]

I got the Purito Cica foundation. I found it on Amazon. I love it. The color doesnt match, i was amazed at how neutral almost grey against my skin. pure neutral undertone. so if someone needs that, this is absolutely the way to go. i mixed it with one that was a tad too dark and it became the best match ever and it is sooo good. Thank you for the recommendation. Im stoked.

[@goow]

My skin just loves the Purito!!

[@bethbilous4720]

Just bought the Dior backstage, 1.5N, day two and i love it.

[@kimberlyduette8367]

I would love to see your opinions on chantecaille foundations!!!

[@allisonn9036]

I love your reviews! Mac face and body is amazing and I tried it because of you 💜

[@_Claudia72]

DIOR Backstage is my favorite too 🤩 great to see it as the winner of 200(!) foundations 😉

[@zoeberry33]

I couldnt find the Loreal serum at CVS. I'll have to try Walgreens

[@ThailaKaikana]

I never even delved into K-beauty products until I started watching your videos.. in fact, I purchased the Purito after watching your review on it. It is VERY nice on the skin. Definitely something I would repurchase! Thank you for the review and recommendation!

[@Dlinggi]

You are absolutely darling and I love watching you. Curious that the it cosmetics your skin but better didn’t even make your list. I’d be interested to hear why it didn’t.

[@goow]

Thanks, Deborah!! It scored an 89 B+ so close but these all beat it :) I do enjoy that one!

[@elisaconnelly6674]

Just subscribed! You are my unicorn! Same age, same tone and type of skin! Hallelujah! (Not to mention you are likeable, adorable and funny) Keep the hits coming new, virtual bff!

[@goow]

Welcome, Elisa!! =D Unicorns unite!!!

[@kristynicole3135]

Just now seen this vid and planning on going Vegas this fall! I thought it was just from travel but my skin was sooo dry and became flaky while there! I will need to get the Ilia thanks to you

[@JenniferHRoss]

That's a great look you have on today! I have most of the foundations in your best-of list, some of them based on your recommendations because our skins and colouring are similar. In fact, I bought the large thing of MAC Face & Body (in N1) on your recommendation about its being mask-proof. Have an excellent holiday and thank you for all of your content this year. You have brought lots of happiness in a year filled with wackiness and uncertainty. And don't forget - we need a post-reno vlog. Cheers!

[@goow]

There will definitely be a post-reno vlog (if they ever finish!!!) Plumbers were here today..... not for very long though 😂

[@sarahnz9767]

Thank you! We have similar skin and we're at a similar stage in the aging process, so this is really helpful!

[@Heather_isms]

Yes, to the best of the best foundations. I need to try the L'Oreal serum foundation, only hesitant about getting a good color match. 💜

[@darkdemonqueen]

Same. I’m half Vietnamese and I have a tricky time finding the right shade all the time. I’m 40 and I’m STILL looking for my holy grail 😬😭

[@Heather_isms]

@@darkdemonqueen well, I'm 50% Thai/Cambodian/Vietnamese, and Norwegian/Swedish with freckles. Color matching is a nightmare, I tend to select neutral with beige/peach undertones as warm/yellow looks bad over my freckles. Best matches atm are N3 MAC Face and Body, #23 in Purito and G8 in Glossier skin tint. 😊

[@danib6834]

Just wanted to thank you for your videos. SO glad I found your channel! You are so awesome/thorough and a gift to mature makeup users!

[@goow]

Thanks, Dani!

[@kristigroom4418]

Love this video! I wish I could like it more than once. I am anxious to try some of your tops because we have similar skin. Thank you! 🤗

[@cinnamongeeksout]

Shellie.. that eye look is the bomb.. so pretty!!

[@magm9719]

Thank you Shelly for this great video!! I’m a little late watching it but I enjoyed it so much! Great info!! I was just wondering what your favorites were and here you answered that question better than I could hope!! Thank you 🙏🌺💗

[@heathermarieplans]

I was so happy to see Mac face and body so high on your list. It has recently become my favorite go to so I picked up 2 of the huge bottles during the Mac sale 😂. Thank you for all you do, I always enjoy your videos.

[@goow]

I'm kicking myself that I missed the sale!!!

[@cheryldaniels5968]

Hope to try a few from this list. Excited for your 2020 best eyeshadows.

[@poshdelux]

Im a new subscriber, i adore you thank you for all that tedious work of trying on all this jazz. I tried looking for the Loreal pro glow infallible foundation but didnt find it on the channel. Im surprised you didnt review that one cause you love the dewy stuff

[@taracole6152]

Thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated your reviews💜 XX

[@MonikaBeautyandLifestyle]

Enjoyed hearing what your top or most used foundation in 2020. Some of my favorites made you list. Big yes to the Flower Beauty powder, I love that stuff.

[@missbrittykitty]

Thank you for the video. I love your thorough approach to the performance of each foundation.

[@NIKKICHIXY]

You literally have the same skin as I do, thanks for doing the work!

[@pame8872]

Thank you for doing this!! Which ones to try? I can see a whole wall of shallow glass shelves with glass doors to help keep kitty hair off. It would be like makeup wallpaper!

[@rosemarygodwin487]

2 seconds in. Had to comment on your hair. It looks so great off your face like this. I always love it but for some reason this looks so young on you!

[@goow]

Thanks, Rosemary!!

[@Solisvn1990]

You mentioned your skin in las vegas... I felt that! I have dry skin and have lived here in Vegas all my life. :/

[@goow]

I see people there that seem to totally adjust but I can't imagine my skin ever would!

[@mmkline1989]

I enjoyed the list. I love the Dior Backstage, at the top of my list as well. I just got the L’Oréal Age Perfect Serum and love that as well. So good!

[@mamasitatita]

Best foundation video ever! And I’ve watched soooo many. This will be perfect while I’m starting Tretinoin. Thank you!

[@ceciliagovea]

Shelly, you don't understand how sad I am about L'Oréal Age Perfect Serum foundation not being sold in my country 🥺😭 Thank you for this list tho, as always, super useful

[@marianneharms5836]

Thanks, Shelly!! I wore my YSL All Hours a few years ago for my son’s December-Florida wedding. It wore beautifully from 10:30 am until after midnight!! It’s a gem!

[@goow]

That is fantastic!!!

[@lisarosenberg5884]

Your so enjoyable. I love listening to you talk about foundation! Every recommendation Has worked for me! Thank you!!!!! Happy HOLIDAYS

[@goow]

Happy happy merry, Lisa!!! Foundations are so fun! =D

[@nathaliez9783]

hi, really like your videos..I wanted to mention that both the Dior foundations you mentioned contain alcohol in the top ingredients..same with Chanel and some Lancome.;.I dont think it is the best to wear a foundation with alcohol when you have dry skin..it puzzles me as why they do that!

[@chloealcivar7119]

I love how in depth you are about product! If you ever get your hands on Westman Atelier foundation, I would love to see your review on it!

[@goow]

I'm on their notification email list for when my shade comes back in stock!

[@helpfulnatural]

I agree with you about Las Vegas. It's like Disneyland for adults but the dry climate is unbelievable! I was there in the month of June many years ago and it's true, the air sucks the life out of you! :-O Love, love, love the L'Oreal Age Perfect foundation. I started out with shade #35 which was a bit too warm/yellow for me, even during the summer. I then purchased shade #20 which turned out to be perfect for my skintone. Love the blush too and want to try the pressed powder as well. :) I'm also impressed that it made it to #2 on your list!

[@islandbirdw]

Ok GOOW, it’s official you are the FOUNDATION QUEEEEEEN! I TOTALLY AGREE with you on seeing stuff and picking it out. I just flashed on idea, like a foundation roulette wheel where you roll the wheel to decide which one you will wear that day! You and I have a lot of opinions in common my dear.

[@goow]

I was thinking of buying one of those wheels! They're so fun!!

[@camdee95]

I love your videos!! So transparent. Love that! I am a completely different skin tone but still watch your honest reviews!!! Great job 👏

[@HelenAvery]

I am always inspired (very literally and figuratively) by what you do, Shelly! I made a Best and Worst Shampoos of 2020 video over on my channel, I love this idea and the work you do here that we all benefit from. I appreciate your consistency, too...real life happens and it's hard to push through to make videos all the time, and you always do. So, thank you and Merry Christmas! :)

[@Shahar3798]

Thank you for all you do, Shelly! Excellent roundup. I think we are probably skin twins. I'm wondering if you've tried the Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Skin Foundation? I tried a little sample, and after one use, I think I might like it, but need to find a better color match. I hesitate to drop fifty bucks, though, if I'm not really sure. I'd love your thoughts.

[@goow]

Hi Karen!!! I haven't done a full video on it, but I love the MUFE Matte Velvet!! It moved straight to my purse as my on-the-go touch-up powder. I wear R230 and I can get away with it year-round (probably a smidge too dark when I'm the palest of the pale but most of the year it works).

[@Shahar3798]

Well then, I guess I need to add to cart... 🤣 Thanks!

[@simplyjosey]

Dior skinshow is my holy grail! now I'm thinking I need to try the face & body too!

[@ashcraft555]

You started talking about the shelves and I immediately thought "aren't you getting a new beauty room when your construction is done?" The shelves seem like a great idea - and they could make for a fun video background, too!

[@goow]

I really should look into doing that since I will have a time period when the new room is empty and I can do whatever I want to it!!!

[@jacquelinehagedorn4562]

Thank you Shelly; was waiting for this one!! 😊 Have a great weekend !

[@chandracox6814]

I'm also a fan of Estee Lauder's Futurist but it's just so expensive. The one from L'oreal is a good dupe for it but has much more coverage. They wear the same and the finish is the same. The price difference is crazy!

[@goow]

It's wild how good some of the less expensive foundations have gotten!

[@espree5386]

Excellent video! I love how you review products! Right now I am most intrigued with the L’ Oreal Age Perfect and because of your rave review of it I must try it! Thank you!

[@amcg]

Great review, love your 100 point scale.

[@MS-te3ob]

Thank you Shelly. Love ur look tonite. I am going to try a few of this. I personally don't care for the Estee Lauder....I am probably one of few. Dior and Mac sound interesting. I shall splurge on a few as a gift to myself!! Thanks again!

[@stellat8799]

Best foundations for my dry sensitive skin so far: 1. Ysl touche eclat (old formula) 2. Clarins cushion (discontinued) 3. Mac face and body (old formula) 4. Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer (old formula) I’m now looking for a good every day foundation. I gave up on full coverage foundations because everything seems to cling to my skin patches. Can you or the viewers recommend your holy grail foundations for very dry skin? Thank you very much.

[@corvins_cash]

Thank you for this video! We have very similar skin, and as a makeup newbie, foundation has been the hardest thing for me to figure out. Gonna go spend my xmas Sephora gift card...

[@pinknbling9532]

Ma daughter 24 and me 50 watching this video we have quite different complexions as do we with you but we also have a few things in common with you and we had so much fun giving our thoughts on your pics and we both thought your #1 would be Dior!! My daughter wants to know do you use the Dior primer with it?? My daughter also has the Dior for her #1 and now I need to try it!!! I haven’t been so excited to buy a new foundation lol excellent video as always Cheers and love from Canada 🇨🇦

[@goow]

I haven't tried the Dior primer yet but I was noticing it on Sephora's web site the other day (they're having a huge sale... it's not on sale but I got some other stuff! Code MAJORSALE for an extra 20% off their sale items :)

[@carriblack961]

Thank you so much for this foundation review! I’m 49 with reddish German-Irish skin that is super dry in Phoenix in the winter. I’m divorcing my Lancôme foundation that accentuates every little flake on my face. I’ve been looking forever for good, honest reviews for mature skin. I am getting new stuff this weekend and can’t wait to see the results! Thank You 🙏🏼💝

[@goow]

Let me know what you end up loving, Carri!!

[@caylamoriah5351]

You are my exact skin shade! Its insane plus I'm dry also! ❤

[@jmarie1959]

Thank you Shelly! Have a great weekend!

[@leahmiranda8359]

Hi Shelly! Thank you for this video! I have and love several foundations that you mentioned. I have both Dior and Mac face and body. And, of course, Makeup Revolution Fast Base. Love them! Here's hoping for a better 2021! Take care of yourself ❤

[@aiza1525]

extremely need this video because i failed to find good foundation for dry skin.....love you 😘😘😘😘😘😘♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@alexandrasaadi7149]

Nice... my night just got exponentially better💜

[@kathybrou1340]

I came back to comment. I bought the Loreal age perfect powder. I really hesitated. My skin hates powder. Do I really need another powder sitting there? I am 48 and have dry dry skin, Oh my goodness. You were right. I wore it by itself at first. No concealer or foundation. Just packed it on and buffed like I would It powder. Wow, just beautiful. My skin glowed. Color is perfect. It is so much lighter than others. I threw my It powder in the trash, it was too thick and the color is always too dark. I was amazed. Thanks!

[@goow]

The fact that they call it a "creamy" powder really seems accurate to me!

[@jeannestarks832]

I loved this list! Can't wait to try a few that I haven't...I already have a few in que, so I'm going to get them on my face ASAP! I love your makeup in this video; Your Eyeshadow especially...Come on through PMG!!! Great video, Shelly! 💖

[@goow]

PMG can do no wrong with eyeshadows!!! Considering when I sat down I couldn't decide if I wanted glam, grunge, or Christmas, and this eyeshadow is what happened.... and it still works! That's 100% the genius of PMG color curation!

[@millig8980]

Thank you for supporting cruelty free xx from Australia

[@jenloveslancome]

I love your videos so much. Since I have at least 3 foundations on your list, I had to order the dior :).

[@goow]

Let me know how you like it, Jen!!

[@tigerlily7173]

I just bought Mac face and body based on your raves and im in LOVE! Im pretty darn hard to impress with foundations but this baby feels like a moisturizer AND it makes me look airbrushed cause it covers and blurs everything.. How did i live without it all these years?! Thank u a million times! ❤️

[@goow]

I say that every time I put it on!!!

[@FourJaysFour]

Happy New Year to you, you adorable Geek 💕🤓

[@graceavegapadilla2227]

Loveee your videos!!! Thank you for making amazing content ♥️♥️♥️

[@kateregier7713]

We need an update of this! 💕

[@goow]

Yep I'll get together another roundup soon!

[@michellesmith702]

I REALLY like your hair like this!

[@Spot2e]

Another great video. I really enjoy them,thank you😊

[@addy7877]

I have dry acne prone skin and unfortunately the L'oreal Age Perfect pulls texture on my chin (problem area for me) and breaks me out. Looking forward to trying the MAC face and body. I have heard nothing but rave reviews and I am so excited to try it!

[@lillyhoyman2902]

Thanks again for all the great review. Very enjoy watching your reviews.

[@arozeisarozie]

Thank you for this! It came on the perfect day! I’m excited for your other categories!

[@carolinebackler3314]

Loved your video. It brightened my day.I have dry sensitive exzema skin . I use vegan organic skincare so would rather use same as foundations. Found a brilliant one recently Body shop tinted moisturiser and foundation are cruelty free and vegan and brilliant on my skin. Their powder is fab too .

[@goow]

Oooh I haven't tried them yet! Thanks, Caroline!

[@justnana13-klj40]

Yae! You showed up in my recommendations. So glad. New sub, with dry skin.😂 Hope you are having a Happy Holiday, or a happy Friday!⛄🎄

[@nevinssharp8477]

I simply adore your channel

[@goow]

Thanks, Neve!!

[@neneg.4264]

hi Shelly! great video, as always 👍 I wanna try a few of your favorites, some I already have and like, some haven't worked for me, and some others I won't try bcuz they're not cruelty-free or bcuz their shade range sucks 😆... and I agree with some of the comments about your hair, you always look good but you look particularly pretty today 😉... hugzzz ❤️

[@goow]

Thanks, Nene!

[@maryhowell5313]

Really enjoyed this video! Thanks Shelly ❤️

[@themerz6982]

Loved this, thank you! Got me comparing & thinking about my choices. Need to go back & watch your milk review. I was planning on trying that one, got distracted.

[@goow]

I've been on a mega Milk stick kick again. I've probably worn it in a dozen fall/winter videos now.

[@happymusics]

Born to Glow is dry matt on me :( :D... I mildly like Purito Cica, BareMineral's Complexion Rescue. Honest Beauty CCC is not great on me, kind of dryish. I should have gotten Estee Lauder to begin with and save some $$. Love all your videos!

[@donnagauthier5781]

I am new to your channel. I really enjoyed the info. One suggestion, it would be great if you said the name a little slower and clearer. And, then hold the bottle really still in your hand for a few seconds. I know I can pause and play again, but I had to get doing that for most of the ones you listed to clearly get the full name of the foundation. But, loved the info, since I have super dry skin. Thanks

[@goow]

Thanks, Donna! I will try to slow down. These I go through more quickly since every foundation has its own full dedicated video, but I see how that doesn't much help if you hadn't previously seen the full reviews. Thank you!!

[@kaitm6015]

Love your look in this video! Happy holidays🎄

[@goow]

Happy merry, Kait!!!

[@hammypie]

oh man I must save $ to try out that dior foundation! Edit: my current fave is the MAC face and body N1 bc of ur rec (thank U!!!!)....it’s just so beautiful on my dry flakey skin, I really can’t get any other foundation to look as good as that tbh. 😊 excited to try the Dior!

[@NancyGooGoo]

I really thought the Age Perfect would be #1 - it dropped down to #2....drumroll on what #1 is...Dior Face & Body, huh...can't do the matte finish. I'll stick with the Age Perfect as my #1. Can't wait to see what's in store for 2021!!

[@akbflo]

Thank you so much for this list! Your eyeshadow looks so pretty in this video. 💕 PS I love the it cosmetics bye bye foundation, but wish it had a bit more staying power. Is anything on your list in that range? Maybe the Yensa?

[@goow]

Actually the Yensa is probably the most similar to the IT! Good call! =D

[@helenchen6882]

I was debating to choose from Mac and Dior face and body.... now I want to buy both 🤣👍

[@debrawilson8049]

I enjoy watching you. You're having fun and I am having fun.! Love make- up. Love fashion. I have a hard time finding the right foundation. That was alot of information. Help?😀 Dry skin, oily nose, cool undertone, im not the lightest shade but im not dark enough to be light/medium til end of Summer maybe. I have some rosceasa a couple spiderveins and some wrinkles. I lprefer a satin finish. What would you suggest???

[@goow]

Hi Debra! Have you tried MAC Face & Body? You'd probably need to wear it powdered for it to be more satin and less dewy, but it's SO versatile and wearable on so many different skin types that I'm not even sure I've ever seen somebody say it doesn't work for them. Dior Backstage would be my next recommendation to try!

[@mekhet]

Love MAC Face and Body as well, but N1 is still too dark for me, so I mix it with White 1:1

[@lynnmartino]

Thank you for this video! You are fantastic!
