MY FAVOURITE FOUNDATIONS RANKED | Best Foundations in 2022

[@debbieotoole1072]

The Nars light reflecting foundation is my no1. I love it so much on my skin; every time I wear it, I just look at my skin and think yes, you look good 😂

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@kristina6865]

Is it full coverage?

[@debbieotoole1072]

@@kristina6865 no medium coverage, natural finish

[@AnnaPxx]

Tried it on today at a local beauty counter and still wearing it, very pleased so far, lovely medium coverage, nice satin glow, also couldn't believe how little is needed. As my skin is very sensitive I'll try the sample for a few days, hopefully no reactions as I really like it.

[@GroovyCatMom]

The Nars foundation has taken the place of my original holy grail foundations. I can’t stop reaching for it. It lasts all day long and even under a mask for 8 hours. And it definitely doesn’t look make-eee-uppy. LOL 😆

[@dvddoes]

I'm so grateful for this video, thank you! On another video, you recommended things for women of a certain age :) -- and the best bit was - invest in primer. I immediately picked up a small bottle of the Tatcha liquid silk canvas primer and WOW. What an amazing difference it made with my foundation. Thank you for the simple yet effective advice. Now I feel ready to try a new foundation!

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

You are so welcome I'm so glad it helped! xx

[@carolynlindenmayer3577]

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.

[@marielle7505]

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!

[@niadimitrova4112]

Foundation is my favorite, won’t live without indulgence and your reviews and ranking videos just make me happy. Thank you for another great one!

[@luxeford547]

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. [slips off soap box]

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

You were born with it! 😘😒

[@elainebines6803]

Well, I'm a woman of a certain age who is also a makeup junkie.. Can you imagine how many foundation brushes I've been through? Even tried the tati blender thing. Natural, synthetic, mixed etc.. blenders pretending to be as good...in my humble opinion, nothing beats the 'original beauty blender' dampened in warm water for a beautiful foundation finish. Tip : I always rinse in cold, it lifts stains right out up until the beauty blender is nearing its end of life so to speak 😉

[@luxeford547]

@@elainebines6803 i think the correct term fot "a certain age" is youngish. I only use one brush. Urban Decay's optical blurring, to go over what I have applied with my fingers.

[@DM-eg6ow]

Wow! 3 new foundations made it into the top 5! I’m on a low buy this year, so I’ll be keeping an eye out on which foundations stay favorites over time, as well as how they do in summer. Thanks for a great breakdown Charlotte!

[@flopipop5376]

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.

[@twoleftfeet9626]

I gave the Tom Ford and the Cle De Peau foundations a good go. The Tom Ford broke apart on me really badly after a few hours and looked terrible. The Cle De Peau is the BEST EVER! it is now my HG foundation. These were both used with Tatcha silk canvas underneath

[@andreapoulieva6717]

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.

It might be worth knowing that Charlotte Tilbury will accept returns of lightly used products within 30 days of purchase. Useful if a lipstick or foundation doesn't suit you. Lisa Eldridge will also accept returns of lightly used products. I don't think any other companies in the UK do though

[@MissCee370]

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!

[@janicecroissiert9116]

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.

[@velmasmith4604]

Beautiful girl you are speaking my language I love foundation, I have about 6 out of the ones you mentioned and I must agree with you. There’s nothing like a great review and ranking. Thank you.

[@feliciab1334]

Yes you totally got how I define glowy!! And I like the former the dewy juicy glow. For that reason I could not love Chanel No.1. 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!!

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

Yayyy the much anticipated ranking. Oooh I really enjoyed this. Thank you, Charlotte. 💕 I really want to try the Tom Ford but I need to get through some of the entire lake’s worth of foundation I have. 😑 I wish I could get on with the new CT. I have a perfect shade match but I just don’t love it. I might give her another go this weekend with yet another different primer. My top five atm are.. 1) Armani Luminous Silk 2) YSL Touche Éclat Le Teint 3) Nars Light Reflecting 4) Pat McGrath Sublime Perfection 5) Urban Decay Hydromaniac Also an honourable shout out to L’Oreal True Match for being a bloody fab drugstore foundation.

PHEW!!!

[@Hannah-iq6ki]

@@erinvekic2625 I have a dry skin type that gets a little oily in t-zone as the day progresses. I was able to find a perfect match in shade B60. 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 wonder if you test the Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate for flash photography, you may end up being pleasantly surprised? Since you don't have to use that much, maybe there won't be enough SPF applied on your face to affect a flash photo? If you test it, maybe it will end up being fine and it will actually check all your boxes. I'm so curious. :)

[@twoleftfeet9626]

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!

[@lilynguyen313]

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 don’t know what is happening with my Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate because it looks horrible every time and with every application method. It just separates in patches, shows every unknown pore. I tried it with every combination: brush, sponge, with or without primer, any primer in my drawer, I changed the creams, etc. Nothing works. Only mixing it with other foundation. It is a very expensive foundation and I have no clue what I am going to do with it. Do you have any advice?

[@doranikolaeva5644]

My TF is also inconsistent in performance - some days I love it and in others, I just hate it. I think it’s the skin chemistry plus the skin care layers that bothers it. And for me it works better with a sponge rather than brush. When there are issues I work them on with powder. Even in bad days, buffing in with my Sisley loose powder makes it look different. It’s such a shame that I have to be careful with it for that amount of money. I love my shade match and the look it gives when it performs but the efforts to make it work are overall not worth it. Btw, my daughter has the same experience with it so I guess we are part of the not so lucky ones 😁. Still, I do not regret buying it.

I’m surprised that the only Matte one was Tom Ford at 10😅💗 - As looking at your makeup as a viewer, I wouldn’t say it was “dewy” like some other KZbinrs. ✨✨ I’m not sure if it’s the wording of certain finishes, or whether it’s foundation companies claims about what the foundation does but, I feel the wording has gotten lost over time on KZbin✨. It’s hard because I know a lot of these foundations and a lot of KZbinrs(not you) claim that they like a “Dewy - Glowy - Luminous “ finish and that’s why they steer clear from matte, so they tend to have that wet/dewy looking skin, that isn’t set with anything, and whenever they move you can see the shine all over their face... But when they say they steer clear of matte because they want glowy luminous skin, it confuses me, because they all mean completely different things, yet some KZbinrs lump all the words together as if they mean the same thing😅✨✨. And although I wouldn’t pair “Dewy/Glossy” with matte necessarily, luminous and glowy can certainly work for matte foundation. This is where I get confused watching reviews because some KZbinrs who say they like dewy, glowy luminous foundations, their skin tends to look shiny on video, almost wet to the touch kind of look. Or just genuinely very dewy. Yours looks more satin finish in this video, certainly you can see the glow from within & personally it’s THEE perfect base that you can get. Your base here is what I aim for myself. But that’s why I’m surprised as it doesn’t look that dewy on video here. It definitely looks more satin… even modern matte, like you mentioned, has the luminosity, skin like finish, but definitely looks set or satin/matte finish. And I know you said you don’t set your makeup. So this is why KZbin confuses me 😅😅. It’s not even in a bad way, this is literally my perfect base!! It’s just doesn’t look typically dewy at all. And looks set beautifully! Perhaps dewy, glowy, luminous, skin finish, satin and matte mean all different things for people. But certainly I would’ve put a guess on that you had satin/matte foundation, over a Charlotte tilbury Hollywood flawless filter type product, paired with a beautiful creme bronzer or blush also giving a luminosity to the skin. Perhaps even slightly topped up around the chin/under eye/next to nose with Charlottes very fine airbrush powder…. I just can’t put my finger on why it’s all different for all different KZbinrs. Perhaps it looks different under lights, although I’d have thought they would’ve enhanced any dewy-like skin! ✨💖

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

No I haven't, shade range is too awful! x

@@CharlotteHoldcroft you are right! Even in 2022 they still need to take the train to inclusivity.

[@SusanSaysSomething]

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

[@laurenceapitz1678]

I really don’t understand the point of SPF in foundations, you are never going to wear enough of it to get sun protection, and the flashback problem makes it a “no” for me.

You can see my review in the foundation playlist x

Have you tried the new Kosas and Ilia foundations?

[@ilhan691]

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

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

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
