BEST OF 2017 | Foundations, Concealers, & Primers! Dry Skin Over 40

[@goow]

Holy !!!! Macy's now carries the lightest shade 1C0 Shell in Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Foundation! THANK YOU, HEATHER for the heads up! go.magik.ly/ml/8omp/

[@NYandAZ]

Geek Out of Water Really? Wooohooo!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 My shade WAS 1C1, but I know what I’m going to be buying this weekend. Looks like it’ll be a phenomenal match for me. Great news. We are literally the same exact shade and texture. #foundationtwins I’m glad that you found the 1C0 after I told you about it. I was so happy for you but also kinda envious that I couldn’t find it for myself. Yaaaay!! Thank you Heather. 🤗💕 We have SO many similar favorites that it’s eerie. LOTS!! But so fun, too! My ELF primer will be here tomorrow now that they’ve finally restocked it. Good grief that took a while. Did you jump right on it after I left you the message on Instagram? BYW...They don’t carry NW10 in the MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation. NC15 is the lightest. Not even the NW13 option, which is lighter than even NW10. I’ve been wanting that formula in a lighter shade, too. There’s just too many out there that do match me rather than to buy it and have to use a mix-in. 😞 I’m also bummed that I cannot find the Revlon Age Defying Foundation, either. I’ve been looking since your video. Ugh. Ps. How did you get the Physicians Formula foundation to work for you today? It was so orange in your first impression video. So much so that I didn’t purchase it. (But it looks FABULOUS on you). How’d ya do it? Share your magic secrets. LOL. Happy New Year, Shelly! 💕🤗🐾

[@Likaye-b9t]

Geek Out of Water Double Wear wins hands down every time.

[@vwzen81]

PSA....Ulta also now carries 1C0 Shell (online only).

[@CHRISRTO1]

Just found your channel. I’m 51 with freakishly pale skin, that NEVER tans. I love makeup, but don’t wear it every day. That doesn’t stop me from buying far too much of it. I love when I find a channel that has someone older than 25 giving reviews. Thanks for representing the pale-faced mamas/nanas out there.

[@goow]

Welcome, Chris! Haha yep - I've never been tan in my life. I turn into a bright red tomato, burn to a crisp, peel, and go back to ghastly pale. By the time I was 19 I figured that out after a summer of babysitting for people that had a pool, and laying out all day every day trying to be like all of the other tanned people... I gave up!

[@jeannestarks832]

I love your makeup in this video, it is flawless! I particularly love your eyes; that baby wing and the blending of the black in your outer corner are PERFECTION! I know that I'm a little late to the party on this video(it was in my sidebar last night), but I think that these are still some really great suggestions, and I saw a few I haven't tried yet, sooooo... lol Great video, Shelly!

[@goow]

Thanks, Jeanne! I was thinking I might not even do a Sephora recommendations video for this sale because my one from the sale a couple months ago is still valid 😂

[@sweetox_9690]

Your makeup is gorgeous today. You should do a tutorial. I LOVE that wing girl. Did you try the brightening maybelline age rewind or the fair? The brightening might work better. I mix the shape tape and the it by bye together. I get full coverage and hydration in one. Or well in two.

[@goow]

Thanks, Ivy! This might be my new favorite way to do a wing! I've been doing it every day this week to get the hang of it and then I'll do a video on it. I love a dark outer corner and a bold wing so this is right up my alley!

[@Soon2beMrsG]

Yes I agree!! Would love to see a tutorial

[@skvllface]

came here to say that about the wing too!!!

[@iamqueenkk]

Geek Out of Water - any chance of the wing tutorial since it’s been almost a year?

[@ldswife5339]

Absolutely love your hair like this!

[@goow]

Thanks!! Whenever I grow my hair out long, I feel like the purpose is defeated because I always put it up, but I love space buns!!

[@hope2nou95]

I wear the neutralizer in the Maybelline concealer. It's yellow but on me it looks natural. They also have the brightener one which is pinky.

[@helpfulnatural]

I have those 2 shades as well and found the brightener shade to be lighter and brighter than the lightest shade fair.

[@dorindaw.9989]

Shelly! Your makeup is beautiful in this video! Tutorial, STAT! 😊 Thanks so much for your favs. I am also fair, dry, and over 40 so I appreciate your reviews. Happy New Year, I hope the absolute best for you. Dorinda

[@goow]

Thanks, Dorinda! You'll see that wing all week because I'm practicing it to do a video soon :-D Happy new year!

[@Katie87120]

You have to try the Pixi correction concentrate for undereye circles! We have the same skin type and I love that stuff so much, even better than the benefit one imo.

[@goow]

Thanks, Kate! I've been wanting to try more Pixi stuff!

[@Linaskye143]

Something that helped my crazy dry skin in winter beyond belief is the Caudalie Moisture Mask and the Caudalie grape water. Twice a week (daily the first few days because my skin was that dry), before bed I'd apply a thick layer of the moisture mask, let it on for at least fifteen minutes, wipe off the excess, and then let the rest on for the rest of the night. My skin was flawless for days at a time, and I'm 40.

[@goow]

I will add those Caudalie products to my wish list, Lina! I've heard nothing but good things about them!

[@lisar1684]

I bought the grape water spray 2 days ago and love it! It works.

[@Linaskye143]

I also use the rescue cream from them every day in the winter, and although it's rich, it doesn't have a ton of silicone in it, there's no citric acid or aloe--I'm sensitive--and the grapeseed extract really plumps and smoothes the skin. So soothing and helpful. Haven't found anything like it.

[@HMarie1975]

Macy's now has Estee Lauder 1C0 Shell I don't know if anyone else is carrying the shade! Just checked it is in stock online.

[@goow]

OMG!!!!!!! *runs to the Macys site*

[@NYandAZ]

Heather BrewCrew *Thank you so much!!!* 🤗👍🏻👏🏻

[@curiouskat4170]

I recently discovered your channel and I just wanted to tell you that I LOVE the way you review products!! Very informative! My mom and I love bingeing your videos, keep it up girl!! ❤️

[@curiouskat4170]

Btw, your make up is HELLA bomb. Love it!!

[@goow]

Thanks, Kristin! (Thank your mom, too!) :-D

[@maidenmakesreviews]

Hi Shelley, mix your fair age rewind concealer with the pink brightening age rewind concealer to cover your dark circles. I do this and it's the perfect blend of correction and concealer.

[@goow]

I will try that!

[@NaBoul]

yesssss Shelly lm gonna buy the Elf primer and the smashbox too thank you xoxo

[@goow]

I was just on ELF's web site a few minutes ago and it's still in stock! w00t!

[@beverlysaylor7339]

Hi Shelly, I'm fairly new to your channel so I've been watching some of your older video's. I am a foundation junkie. I believe I've been using Double Wear (I believe since it came out) not to mention a million other foundations. I have skin very similar to yours however I am "a bit" older, well maybe more than "a bit"....63 to be exact...ugh! I have used Studio Sculpt about 7 years ago and I swear that foundation was dewy and very moisturizing. Also year ago I used the Mac Studio Fix and and I'm quite sure it had a built-in pump. Really enjoying your foundations....they are Excellent! Thank you!

[@goow]

Thanks, Beverly! I quite enjoy MAC foundations! There are still a few I haven't tried yet.

[@karenjones1897]

hi, shelly! as always, very well done and comprehensive! i got my revlon x3 at cvs too. hopefully being hard too find isn't an indicator of being discontinued. i have to say, your skin is just looking fantastic! and it's not just the makeup (which looks great, btw). i hope you are safe from the storm hitting the east coast area - take care! ~k

[@goow]

Thanks, Karen! I'm in the Shenandoah Valley, so it is getting super cold here, but the mountains to my east should block most of the snow from getting to us. I'm originally from Chicago and these temperatures remind me too much of it!

[@dollydoll5589]

I need that elf primer the amount of spf really has me intrigued. Im totally Loving your makeup and hair ❤

[@goow]

Thanks, dolly! I just saw the Elf primer tonight on a new end cap at Target!

[@kellymoore7383]

I absolutely love your eye look!! Can you please do a tutorial 🙏 I have really been enjoying these "best of" videos 😊

[@goow]

Thanks, Kelly! Yep you'll see this wing all week because I've been practicing it to do a video on it soon!

[@ambergerhelper7852]

Hi Shelly! I have the Brightener shade of Instant Age Rewind. I mix it with the Nyx White Mixer. It makes it a pale pink. You might like that. Also- I’ve plucked that sponge right off. It has a nice little spout.

[@goow]

I will try the brightener! I didn't ever look to see what other ones they had!

[@SherriWard]

I was curious about that Too Faced primer spray!

[@goow]

I probably wouldn't have bought it, but ThaTaylaa has been using it for a while especially as her skin has gotten more dry on accutane, so I thought it might work for me - and it does!

[@SherriWard]

I love her channel! I just love learning about new products from people I trust!

[@pixelscanon]

I really enjoyed watching your Top 5’s! I got some good recommendations too! I really love Nars Creamy concealer in Vanilla and it’s fair enough for me. The Nars competes with my Shape Tape. The Maybelline age rewind is too dark for me too which turns me off from using it. The Fair, Light, and Neutral are all busts for me. I think the best mattifying foundation I have ever used with perfect shade match is the Laura Mercier Flawless fusion in Cashew. It doesn’t dry my skin out and if my skin does ever feels dry, I put a tiny bit of oil. I’m curious if you tried or like that one, I’m off to check your other videos! I love your soothing voice!

[@goow]

Have you tried the new lightest shade in Age Rewind? It's called Ivory and I just got it but haven't opened it yet :) I have the Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion in the lightest shade Shell but it's a little too dark for me in the winter. I do like it though! It ranked a B+ when I reviewed it.

[@SherriWard]

I was also very curious about the Primerizer by Smashbox. You are answering so many questions for me! We have very similar tastes!

[@goow]

I've always had reliable luck with Smashbox primers. I like the primer oil and the regular photo finish primer, too - but I literally have enough samples of both that I'll never need to buy the full sizes. I swear Ulta sends me Smashbox primer samples with every single order. But the Primerizer is my favorite of them. I still wear moisturizer underneath it, but as a primer it just kind of seals everything in with moisture.

[@mrs.bstotz4836]

Try mixing the two Estee Lauder foundations together.... u may just get ur perfect color match!

[@goow]

I haven't tried that yet but I bet you're right, Brandee!

[@aeshroyer]

Loving your eyeshadow in this video, girlie!

[@goow]

Thanks, Ashley! It's my new favorite wing! :-D

[@aeshroyer]

Being an avid makeup lover, It’s seems blasphemous that I haven’t tried MAC foundations yet! I couldn’t find anything lighter than the nc15 in the studio sculpt though so hopefully they expand the range on it. So glad you love the peach perfect because I remember requesting that review despite you loathing the scent lol! I’m loving it too :D

[@charityoverman]

I love these types of videos 💕

[@ldswife5339]

Also digging the new setup! Woo!!! New year new set up!😘😘

[@goow]

I'm liking it too! The lighting is nicer for foundation videos, at least the daytime part. You'll see a few videos next week that I pre-filmed before Christmas, so the old way with the tree in the back, but everything filmed from here on out is the new setup.

[@becky1609]

Great vid Shelly. I was online shopping last week. I got the mac studio sculpt. I can't wait to get it and try it out. :)

[@goow]

Thanks, Becky! Let me know how it goes!

[@lsofi366]

Love your voice!! Your hair is adorable in this video!!!

[@goow]

Thanks, Sofi! :-D

[@SharonCapehart]

Always luv seeing everyone's favvies, these are great!!! Thanks for another great video!!!! :-) XOXO Sharon

[@goow]

Thanks, Sharon! I love favorites videos (and my wallet hates them, lol!)

[@JulesOfWisdom]

You've done so many foundation reviews that I really had no idea which would make the cut. I need a sale so I can try the Revlon.

[@goow]

LOL that's pretty much why I created the spreadsheet - because I couldn't remember anymore! :-D Double Wear and MAC are the ones I know work no matter what, but I tend to forget the nuances of them as time goes on.

[@jenhall5718]

Well I can't wait to try the Elf primer, although so far I haven't found anything that I like better than my Bare Minerals Prep Step lotion SPF 50. I was trying different things in the hopes that I could find something that works as well for me but didn't cost $30 a pop, but heck if that's what I gotta pay so be it lol. My fav concealer is the Nars Radiant Creamy, I have the Shape Tape which I do like but I prefer the thinner Nars formula a little more. LOVE LOVE the eye look today!!

[@goow]

Thanks, Jen! I like the Nars too. It was the first high end concealer I ever bought :) They color matched me at Sephora, but the one I have is a little too yellow on me.

[@takishasallbeautyzone]

I have the hardest time with MAC foundations. The undertones in the deeper shades tend to run so orange and I'm golden/olive. It's quite frustrating b/c they have so many different foundations but I just haven't found one that I love. I have yet to try the hangover Rx line. I've heard such great things for dry skin. Thanks for the video. ☺

[@goow]

I've never been matched at a MAC store or counter, but that seems to be what everybody recommends for tough color matches. I was on a mission to find my MAC color match because so many people seem to use MAC shades as the reference when talking about other shades!

[@lucygoose6052]

Love your hair and makeup here!

[@goow]

Thanks, Susan!

[@ashleykathol8633]

I love your eye make up in this video 😊

[@goow]

Thanks, Ashley!!

[@susandotson970]

love your hair pulled back looks really good!

[@goow]

Thanks, Susan! Space buns are my latest obsession. My mom always asks why I always want to grow my hair out when all I do when it gets long enough is put it up... ha! I love buns!

[@nomorelittlemonkeys]

I love your eye look! So pretty! Great reviews, too!

[@goow]

Thanks, Gabrielle!

[@Tara1978Tara]

I loved the Bobbi Brown face base as well but I just can’t get down with the jar packaging, particularly at that price point. Just frustrates and grosses me out 😩

[@lovemyrainydays]

Great video!! Firstly... Holy-snapping-duckshit!! Your eye make-up!! Absolutely brilliant - I just love what you did with the black wing/cat-eye/outer corner thing. Gorgeous! (Can we have a tutorial for it??). Secondly, yes to your quick mention of oil under the undereye concealer - I got the tip from Hot Mom Jeans and tried it for myself yesterday and the results were SO very good! For any undereye makeup that looks just a bit too dry (and/or the maturing skin lines & creasing thingy), a drop of facial oil before primer & makeup (letting it soak in for a few minutes) and the results are pretty amazing (and it also works really well for any dry patches). I'm sure I've heard the tip before but it didn't actually register and make me wanna try it till the aforementioned Lisa (Hot Mom Jeans) and I can't believe it took me so long to try it.

[@goow]

LOL thank you!! You'll see similar wings for a few videos in a row because I've been wearing it all this week to make sure I have it down pat so I can do a tutorial. It's my new favorite wing :-D

[@colormyworld5390]

Hey Shelly, I've tried the MAC Studio Sculpt and did not have success even though I desperately wanted to since it was an exact shade match. The problem I experienced was product application after foundation, everything kept sliding around and moving the foundation underneath. I tried with a few different kinds of primer, no primer, setting my cheeks or my whole face with different kinds of powders, and using different blushes, bronzers, and contours (powders vs creams). Nothing worked. Could you please, please, please tell me how you applied this foundation. Maybe you have the secret ingredient step I was missing. Thank you for all your informative videos! Love them all.

[@goow]

Hey Valerie! I've got a full application demo and wear test of Studio Sculpt, with all products listed in the info box - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqLYfYmYdqdmpZY :)

[@kristinfly2437]

The Maybelline instant age rewind comes in a lighter shade now! They just released ivory!

[@ambergerhelper7852]

OH MY GOODNESS. I AM WAY TOO EXCITED ABOUT THIS.

[@goow]

WHAAAAAAAAT YESSSSSSSSSS!!! Must find!

[@kristinfly2437]

I only saw one at my local Walmart but I haven’t looked for it any place else. They also released two deeper shades. It is on the maybelline website! :)

[@jacquelinehagedorn4562]

I love the color of your eyes. Kind of a forest green! Not real common , but beautiful 👍🏼

[@goow]

Thanks, Jacqueline! I've always been glad to have green eyes! :-D Not that I had any input on the decision lol.

[@jenniferbeagle4392]

This is a request for an upcoming foundation Friday video, could you please test out the new wet n wild mega cushion foundation? Hope your having a great day 😊

[@goow]

Hehehehe spoiler alert - I'm wearing it right now and filmed the review today :-D It will post next Friday the 19th. This Friday is the new Rimmel :)

[@zak2394]

Where are your necklaces from? They're gorgeous!

[@goow]

Thanks, Zak! The craziest thing - they were $1 from ShopMissA! www.shopmissa.com/ I got them on a whim, but I'm allergic to nickel and a lot of cheap jewelry has nickel in it, but these must not! I don't react to them at all! I got 4 or 5 different necklaces and they're all fine on me. Can't beat it for a buck!

[@susandotson970]

bh has a peach under eye consealor and several other shades just a fyi.....

[@goow]

Thanks, Susan! I need to try more BH because I just used their Galaxy Chic palette in an upcoming video and doggone!! BH is rocking it!

[@lindajohnson.]

Love to see all of the favorites...what wonderful products we have to choose from. I think my newest find was the Drunk Elephant,love the Marula Oil and the B Hydra Intensive Hydration Gel, they have really helped my dry skin...Two of my Sephora orders were suppose to have sent some other samples, but they didn't send anything. Look forward to the next group of your favorites.

[@goow]

It sure chaps my hide lately, placing orders with Sephora specifically for certain samples or point purchases and then they don't send them! They really got me with an IT Secret Sauce sample a few weeks ago. And that Kat Von D high-point bundle! They cancelled my whole order! But at least there are lovely favorites for us to think happy thoughts about :-D

[@hammypie]

Hi again! Would you say the UD concealer looks more natural and less drying/cakey than the Shape Tape? I don’t want a heavy full coverage, it has medium coverage right? No creasing in your experience with the UD as well?

[@goow]

Heya Hammy! Yep UD = less drying than Shape Tape on me, for sure. It's a solid medium coverage and doesn't crease on me (I usually set it, so I can't say what it would do if it wasn't set - but lightly set with powder it doesn't crease on me).

[@christinecrowley6636]

Great review thankyou...love the makeup your wearing too :)

[@goow]

Thanks, Christine!

[@jayhulrs1435]

Have you tried the bare minimum minerals serum concealer? It's great for dry skin. If you have how do you think it compares to the born this way concealer?

[@goow]

Hey Jay! You know, I think I only have the Bare Minerals brightener, not the concealer. I will have to check it out! I do like the brightener underneath concealers.

[@Cara-39]

I'm late to this video but you can buy a pump at MAC/Ulta/Macy's for their Studio Fix Fluid. It's $10. They should make it standard.

[@goow]

Thanks, Cara! I wish it was standard, too!

[@ZariBankhi]

So I'm curious, what was the one concealer that u spoke of but it didn't make the list bcuz u didn't have too much experience with yet?????

[@goow]

The MAC water weight concealer - and it's a thumbs down unfortunately. I've been wishy-washy with it ever since and I'm finally going to put it in my next 5-third-impressions video. It is pretty disappointing on me.

[@annielovesstamping]

Subscribed! Great channel!

[@goow]

Thanks, Annie! :-D

[@bereaux94]

I love my porefessional primer from benefit! :)

[@vickiphillips230]

I took that sponge off my maybelline concealer almost immediately :) so much better now

[@goow]

I never even thought to try! I liked it until it got so gunky.

[@irritable.gal.syndrome]

Spf 50 primer?? I need it 😱

[@goow]

I just saw that they're finally carrying the Elf Beauty Shield primer at Target - it was on an end cap of new products last weekend!

[@irritable.gal.syndrome]

Geek Out of Water just got it! Can’t wait to try it!

[@jenr3592]

Not sure if I missed it but what's the coverage on the Revlon foundation?

[@goow]

I'd call it medium to high-medium. Not quite full coverage but solid.

[@daniellasteel8863]

This is my favorite make up look on you! Keep it up!🌈🌈🌈

[@mistyshaw8310]

No matter what kind of primer i used. I just could NOT het tje revlon to work for me. It looked great in the beging. But just as I got to work ( about hr. after I applied) I looked a hot mess.

[@goow]

That is a bummer! I always feel like when that happens to me, it must be something in my pH or body chemistry that is making some ingredient go haywire. I don't really know for sure but when something goes bad on me like that, it's usually consistent - and if it's not some skincare ingredient underneath, it's just me.

[@mistyshaw8310]

Im gonna try the YSL next. Im super excited about it. im really hoping its the one. I usually use a reg primer AND A porefiller... What would you suggest I use for the YSL?

[@AnniePBeautyDefyingAge]

I love these type of vids

They're some of my favorites to watch (but my wallet hates them, LOL!)
