For my fellow migraine sufferers: Guerlain - highly perfumed and a definite no for me. Dior - not as cloying but still a no. Armani: yes, I can do it. Scent is subjective of course, but this one is light enough and dissipates quickly. It is a cleaner smelling fragrance (almost like soap?) and I think that's why I can get away with it. I have dry skin and can still wear the Power Fabric for special occasions as Nikki said. The Luminous Silk is my holy grail for every day. I buy the mini and sometimes I mix the two. Haus Labs, Pat McGrath and Nars are thankfully fragrance free, but the Nars and PML are too peachy for me. The Haus Labs does have a light olive that could work but it has more glow than the Armani which is not great for my pores. It is pretty but not as skin-like and doesn’t set down as well. I have not tried the La Mer due to price/fragrance or the KVD yet. I hope this helps those with chronic allergies. If you know, you know.

I find for my money these give me the most coverage for what I want. I am a Retired Registered Nurse and wanted the long day coverage, so that is what I wore. I did try the Haus Labs foundation as a sample and two from Dior and liked them both, but they didn’t give me the coverage I needed. I am 67 years old, and don’t think I’ll change now.

Then, put down the bottle, and that dot of makeup on your index finger when you shook the bottle, that’s what goes on the face. Repeat as needed. Not only can you control how much you put on, but it’s also CLEAN. No spillage, no dripping, all control. Hope this helps someone. 😁

Estée Lauder Double Wear is the GOAT! Every time I try to find something better to replace it with, sadly, I end up returning because for me to keep a foundation, it has to be better than what I’m using. Don’t be scared if you have dry skin. I’m almost 45 with dry, dehydrated skin (but not flaky) and hyperpigmentation, and I love Double Wear. I also live in a humid climate, and just as Nikki said, this STAYS PUT all day. I just wish it came with a pump. I buy the pump separately for $10. But at $52, like come with a dang pump! It used to be just under $50, but they’ve raised their price and still no pump. But it performs. I use Estée Lauder’s Maximum Coverage foundation as a concealer for my melasma/hyperpigmentation on my upper cheeks and less than a pump of the Double Wear on top all over. You don’t need more than a pump or it can look heavy. I really wanted to try the Guerlain one because so many KZbinrs rave about it. It did not beat Double Wear on my skin. Didn’t like the fragrance and looked more drying in some areas and was not as smoothing over my forehead fine lines as Double Wear is. But one I really have been impressed with and kept this year was Mac Studio Radiance Serum Powered Foundation sold at Ulta. Currently on sale for $34.50 (regularly $46). If you’re looking for something on the more radiant end and not velvety matte like Double Wear, try it out. It looked beautiful on my skin. I found Haus Lab looked beautiful and glowy upon initial application, but that one emphasized my fine lines.

I just bought the KVD foundation and am IN LOVE! So glad I came across this video before purchasing!

Ironically, I own your first and last foundation choices, and they are my only and favorite foundations. As an added bonus, I justify the price of my La Mer with the worthy price point of my Dior F/B. So, it works and I don't regret or feel guilty about my preferences. Thanks for the new suggestions! I have my eye on one them.

I just love to watch your tutorials Nikki, very educational and full of info, btw gorgeous makeup on this video. I just got my Armani Silk foundation because of your recommendation and it’s beautiful before this one the Dior Forever Glow was my fav.

As a neutral (leaning cool) toned skin girlie I can attest that NARS is not for us lol I just tried their foundation and it was so orange on me 😭 so I just splurged and order the mini Armani foundation because I’m the maid of honor in my friends wedding this summer and need something good !

Thank you!! I've been waiting for this video and I'm going to Sephora today so perfect timing😊❤

La Mer is my favorite foundation of all time. I don’t like the price but I buy it when I get the $100 voucher for my 2500 points at Sephora or at Nordstom with nordy notes. It is the best on my 56 yr old dry skin. I’ve been using it for the past 5 years or so. Glad you included it.

Before Nars came out a lot of people couldn’t find their undertones. I truly believe Nars was ahead of their time with undertones for mixed skin. I appreciate that. The Armani Luminous Silk foundation is chef’s kiss.

Thank you for this! I would just mention to light skin peeps that the Guerlain runs deep. I had to purchase shade 0N to get a match. For reference I am Yukon 2.5 in Nars Sheer Glow and shade 130 in Haus Labs. I love the Guerlain just thought I'd mention the shade issue 😊

I have loved the Armani Power Fabric for years and tend to mix it with other foundations (like the La Mer or Guerlain) to add a tiny bit more coverage to it. Love your channel - thank you for all the recommendations, tips & tricks ~

Excellent selection, Nikki!!! I watched your other video and was blown out of the water. I actually was in between Dior Backstage and the Haus Labs Foundation, but your comments finally helped me make up my mind! I bought the Dior Backastage a few days ago. I am hoping it will be a big hit! Thank you for being so candid and honest about makeup products that could be otherwise too darn overhyped and expensive. I love your channel! Keep up the superb work! I look forward to watching more of your content!!!

Nikki, this is a GREAT video! I’ve been on the fence about Haus Labs but you’ve sold me! Can we please get an updated brow routine? They are looking amazing here. I can’t seem to get those hairlike strokes, especially at the front of my brows, to look natural and not blocky!

I loved the La Mer foundation, got a lot of compliments,, the down was the scent… it was the only foundation that i finished fast. I never bought again, as pandemic happened. Now i more on skin tints already or sometimes just powder,

You are my favorite educational makeup KZbin channel. I have been using KVD serum foundation for almost a year now. It's definitely my favorite I have ever used. I was thrilled to see how happy you were with it when you first tried it. I haven't tried some of the others you love yet. I'm finally going makeup shopping next week. How will I decide which to try 😂 maybe I can get samples. Ohh I need to find a mascara video. My super short and straight lashes need help.

I got a sample of the Dior Glow this week and tried it on in 90 degree weather. It looked so surprisingly beautiful; I usually wear mattes because it gets 122 degrees here and I have combo oily skin. It got a little “glowy” while I was pumping gas but once inside, perfect again. And Estée Lauder is indeed the OG. I’m waiting on a good sale to repurchase it.
