DRUGSTORE DUPES / L'oreal -vs- Fenty Powder Foundation ...I have thoughts + the bottom line is...

[@ecleeds]

I guess it’s just me. I NEVER use the mirror in makeup compacts because they get so dirty and they’re so small and awkward they’re practically useless. But I hear people so frequently talking about mirrors in compacts being such a selling point. 🤷‍♀️

[@losermillie]

I will very occasionally use the one in a powder if it’s the one I keep in my bag and I’d say I’ve probably done that 5 times in my whole life when I’ve topped up my powder on the train or at my desk and for some reason not gone to a bathroom.

[@frumtheground]

"I've got my nerdy notes." Ah, music to my ears... 😌

[@wendypowell7460]

For best results, buff powder foundation in the skin using a soft, densely packed brush. I will typically pat the powder on my skin, then go back in with powder on the brush and buff it in. This warms it up, melting it into the skin, filling the pores, AND creates that creamy, beautiful finish we all want. Just try it. You'll be amazed.

[@Alisha21210]

Like a kabuki brush? I'm trying to find a good brush to buff with that isn't 30$!

[@Karasakina]

Alisha21210 elf has great brushes so does eco and real techniques and I have expensive brushes ☺️

[@MC-ko2mx]

@@Alisha21210 If you're on a super-tight budget, I've heard good things about Shop Miss A brushes. They have a flat top buffer brush for under 2 bucks. People say they are super soft, and do the job just fine.

[@MC-ko2mx]

I think Taylor Wynn uses that technique with JCat Aquasurance, and she gets a beautiful finish

[@debradowling800]

[@iAMbekahx3]

Tape is great for lifting off that "hard pan" if you frequently use a powder product with a wet sponge or brush! I just use standard office scotch tape because that's what I have on hand but I imagine wider shipping type tape would get the job done really quickly!!!

[@chaosbecomesher]

This feels like a dumb question, but... how does that work? And do you have to do it everyday?

[@MC-ko2mx]

This is a great tip. Much easier, and less wasteful than scraping the hardened layers off.

[@MC-ko2mx]

@@chaosbecomesher I imagine you dab the tape sticky-side down wherever you have hard pan. This should lift the top layer of hardened product off. Repeat as often as necessary.

[@chaosbecomesher]

@@MC-ko2mx thank you!

[@chaosbecomesher]

Lol I've never used a wet brush in a pressed powder pan, so I just had no idea. I think I've only ever had one product get hard pan, it was a maybelline face powder I loved, and I ended up scraping it off.

[@taylorwynn]

Can we talk about how the shades look exactly the same on you though?? That’s more blowing my mind than anything else 😂🙌🏻

[@briwebb2709]

[@kellydupree6710]

For anyone needing the Loreal one, drugstores in my area have them in stock IN STORE, but not online. So check your local Walgreens, CVS, Ulta, Target, Walmart, etc. :)

[@makeupgrl24]

Just to add something the Fenty one has much better ingredientes for acne prone skin (also fungal acne) . The L’Oréal one has some ingredients bad for oily skin and several allergens . So if you are acne prone or have very sensitive skin I will use the Fenty one :)

[@given2dream]

I randomly found the L’Oréal one in Target a couple of weeks ago, even though it said it was sold out online. As I was walking away, a couple of early teen girls walked up and said “oh my god that’s the foundation from Tik Tok” and they each bought 3. That’s why you can’t find it. The Tik Tok crowd is insane over it.

[@itsjessicabraun]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@katyeribble5162]

They both look great on you. It’s a shame L’Oréal doesn’t have more shades. But when I researched, Fenty and L’Oréal are owned by the same parent company. That my be why they match so well. Same formula, just different price points....🤷🏼‍♀️

[@MrHamster34]

Huh, L'Oreal doesn't have a patent company because it is a parent to many companies. Fenty on the other hand is under Kendo

[@sabrinam1541]

Congrats Jess!!! 1000 VIDEOS!!! What a huge milestone

[@tammyroy9042]

Love these head to head comparisons ☺️. I have the Fenty powder foundation ( cruelty free is a deal breaker for me these days) and I absolutely love it! And this is coming from a 56yr old gal with normal to dry skin who prefers a dewy/glowy foundation and has avoided powders like the plague. I use a glowy primer underneath like my CT Wonderglow and this foundation is STUNNING! Lasts all day and does not transfer onto my mask. I was incredibly surprised how much I love it:) Looking forward to your next one 😉. BTW - I got the Misha BB cream on your recommendation and it’s every bit as fabulous as you say🥰 Have a beautiful weekend 💕 Xo Tammy Roy 🇨🇦

[@valumen]

I already bought the L‘Oreal one a few weeks ago because of you, and I actually need to thank you!! It is exactly what I was always looking for in a foundation. I have oily skin, I should add, and it looks SO good and holds up... and I don‘t think I would have tried it if it wasn‘t for your recommendation. Thank you and lots of love for you and your family!❤️

[@allisondogaer7274]

I used to wear nothing but a powdered foundation from age 18- about 40. I used the Clinique Doublewear exclusively. I then switched to Bare Minerals powder and am now only using liquid. So needless to say I am excited to see how the L'Oreal one performs on my aging skin!

[@erin8205]

It's extraordinary This is coming from someone who has used many powder foundations over 30 years. Stila Illuminating, Studio Fix, Palladio, Covergirl, Makeup Forever, It Cosmetics, Too Faced, Clinique, Aveda Duel Minus Oil, Sorma, Tarte.... This one is the most natural looking and Porcelain is the best match, shade wise. I'm 47 & while I don't have many fine lines (yet) my skin is dry. This isn't too matte & looks gorgeous & natural, great coverage (no breakouts, but some reddness, a few small scars on left jaw). Thank you Jessica for the comparison of the Age Perfect. I would've gotten that (Infallible was very very difficult to find), but it looked a tad too dark? Even the lightest shade. Will definitely look at it again. ❤

[@rachelfite934]

Funny I’m wearing the Fenty one as I watch this video. It looks really good over the super goop glow screen btw. I got the shade 120 which is like a fair neutral tone. I usually go for cool tones but this seemed like the right one for me and it looks perfect. I think that shade could work for you too.

[@neen42]

I think this one was a bit too yellow. I mean it would definitely work - once ready of the rest of her makeup is done it'll be probably undetectable. Still, a true neutral would be perfect for Jess.

[@jamieclemente3945]

I use the misha bb cream and use the L’Oréal powder on top with dense brush (mostly on my red stops that are still peeking out) love it that way

I wish more brands would mimic Fenty with all shades the same in products across their brand. Also, all of my CVS stores had a good display/stock of all colors of this L'oreal powder.

Thank you, Jessica! This was super helpful, especially the comparison between the two L'Oreal ones. I wasn't sure what the difference was. --How would you say these compare to the Make Up For Ever powder foundation? That's the high end one I feel like is definitely most hyped. 💜🌻

There’s been a HUGE controversy around the SPF rating of Purito’s products. Please do your research on this before you buy it if your intention is to use it as a sunscreen product. (No shade to Purito. It sounds like the lab formulating the sunscreen wasn’t truthful about the rating! 😬). Also, bc I feel so inclined to mention (especially after recent events) this is NOT a moratorium on all Korean sunscreens! It’s a shady lab which can happen anywhere!

There have been a number of Korean sunscreens produced by the same lab! No BS Beauty does a great job talking about all of it

I've tried both ...with a mask for like 11-12 hours with 1 touch up. I used concealer underneath and at the end of the day the fenty looked much better, stayed on and less cakey.
