I have been using the L’Oréal age perfect for over a year. I have tried other and keep coming back to it. Love it!!!!

[@jenniferbryan295]

I'm wondering if I should get this one or the other Loreal she mentioned. Have you tried the other one?

[@kelliebennett9932]

@@jenniferbryan295 I tired the other one in the video and I could not use it. It always gets rave reviews but it was too matte for me. I’m in my 40’s so not sure if that makes a difference.

[@cheeling794]

@@jenniferbryan295 i was wondering the same, did you ever try either of them?

[@cheeling794]

Im super sweaty, could you guve me an estimate of how long it actually lasts for you?

[@misfit1395]

It's not working for me at all

[@adelecohen6998]

The Loreal Fresh Wear Foundation is my absolute favorite. For me it wears for over 25 hours and still looks amazing!! It is so much better than any other foundation I have tried.

[@carols.4252]

Cover Girl Fresh Skin Milk. I’ve fallen in love. This is magic on my mature skin. Looks completely natural and skin like. I love a sheer dewy finish. I have the L’Oréal Age Perfect Serum foundation. I like that one, as well. Nothing is dewier than Flower Beauty Skin Illusion which is an absolute dupe for Lancôme Renergie. Funny how things work, but Believe Beauty is more natural to matte on me. I think that Neutrogena Tinted Moisturizers are the most glowy and luminous and perfect for weekend days. The biggest challenge with budget foundations is finding your shade. Some brands are harder than others. For example NYX is always way too yellow on me.

[@sandybowers5085]

I have always loved the L’Oréal Infallible foundation and will always have it in my rotation. Lately I’ve been mixing it with the L’Oréal serum foundation and the combination is perfection!!! I actually use the serum foundation as a mixer in many of my high end foundations as well❣️❣️❣️

[@madisonpetronick1341]

I love that you did this video. You included foundations for every skin type and explained the best way to wear them and gave great detail on each one's pros and cons! Really appreciate you and I am excited to pick some of these up based on your recommendation! 😊

[@traci222]

Yes.. same 😊

[@TheAcrowdell]

I cannot stop using the Catrece since you shared it in June. Absolute perfection on my combo/oily skin. Matte enough with giving some glow, but not grease.

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Yay!!

[@anschi2257]

I've stopped using Catrice because of the oxidation. Did you not have that problem? I tried so many different shades that seemed to match my skin perfectly when I applied it, but a couple of minutes later it just looked completely orange. I love that there are videos like this that introduce good and affordable products, but I wish oxidation would get talked about more as it's my biggest issue when it comes to drugstore foundations.

[@catanawithc]

the neutrogena one is amazing!!! ive been on a hunt for a foundation that can be used everyday without damaging my skin and compatible for sensitive skin. I tend to get really red sometimes and I do feel foundations tame down the redness, idk the science behind it, but foundations calm my skin. this one is just perfection to me. if i need extra coverage i just use a concealer

[@kathleenruiz2665]

I found the Believe Beauty at Dollar Tree in a squeeze tube for $1. I thought if I didn’t like it I’m not out a lot of money. I absolutely love it.

[@traci222]

Niceeee! I gotta check my dollar tree. Lol

Change the title of this video I don’t want these brands to raise their prices !!!!

[@SJ4Youtube]

🙏🙌 I am so so glad you made this video! It will be saved as a reference video. I have been waiting for this. I was wondering about the Neutrogena Serum Foundation (compared to the Loreal) and you did it. I want something like this or a CC type Foundation, something to wear daily, that is super light. I can wear running errands or even the gym. Lately I've been using the NYX Bare With Me Concealer under my eyes but also around my cheeks only with a sponge. I'm still into the the barely makeup clean look. Thank you! P.S. some of my drugstore go to's are - No. 7 Lift & Luminate Foundation or the Essence Pretty Natural.. just need something I can grab at Target/Ulta & go!

[@simoneclarke5104]

My absolute favourites that I cannot live without are L’Oréal True Match Super-Blendable Foundation & Wet’n Wild Photofocus matte foundation. Love them both equally 💕. I am really curious now about the Hard Candy one and will give it a try!

[@claudiah8905]

The essence pretty natural is incredible for me. Never had a foundation that was so longlasting even under a mask. Does not move 🤩 and I like that the coverage is not that high.

[@mistytells]

I love the Loreal Freshwear foundation in the winter.

[@jennvb6625]

L’Oréal is killing it ! So many good ones!

[@hanhnah126]

Thanks guuurl... we need this... no just the "dupe for" videos, but actually a review of GOOD foundations period

[@suzanneharris2580]

I love that you included Believe Beauty! I have several things from that line and love them all.

[@jriedesel]

I bought the Neutrogena serum foundation after seeing a short br Shelby Wilson. I love it! It's all I've worn on my 72 year old face since it came home with me.

[@catladylion5186]

I love L’Oréal infallible foundation !! On my second bottle now . I mix Revolution concealer to have a bit fuller coverage

[@gailviel7498]

I really like NYX can’t stop won’t stop full coverage foundation and the believe beauty foundation! I have many high-end foundations, but you certainly can’t go wrong with these!

I love the two loreal foundations you talked about. Definitely good list. Enjoyed this. 😉 and love how some are so inexpensive which is helpful in the current times. Great job. 👍 you look gorgeous 😍 💖.

[@makayla8693]

Hi najetteroberts

[@terriblack1562]

Great video Taylor! I vote for more of these type videos. You did such an excellent job of describing each foundation and explaining which skin type would be best accordingly. Now I can enjoy giving a few of the ones I’ve not heard of a try 😁😉

[@vanessaarroyo1620]

The Neutrogena one is great especially for people who are new to makeup or don't like the feel of foundation. It's annoying that they don't have undertone descriptions for their shades or more extensive shade range though. But I love that It feels like I just have skincare on while giving a light coverage. The L'Oreal one is great too but definitely dries down to a demi matte and feels more like makeup than skincare.

[@anumbashir1758]

Is it for oily skin?

[@vanessaarroyo1620]

@@anumbashir1758 I wouldn't think so, it's pretty hydrating and dewy :/ I'd stick to the L'Oreal serum if you have oily skin which to me I see it as a satin matte finish. The Neutrogena one feels more like a moisturizing skin care product which is why I like it better for my dry skin.

[@lashultzify]

What shade are you in the neutrogena one?

[@gloriamitchell4005]

You knocked it out of the ballpark!. Go Maven!

[@tedoymisojos]

More often than not im using Hard Candy GlamoFlauge. Its great for oily, acne prone skin. Its not as transfer resistant as Makeup forever HD skin, but it is very longwearing, and got me through long, hot night shifts ( for that I wear it fully set with loose powder on a puff).

[@hearnoevil7]

I tried believe beauty during the pandemic and fell in love. Best shade match, gorgeous texture. Strayed back to prestige and now that I want to repurchase it’s sold out in every location. 😢 Might go for L’Oreal Infallible fresh wear or True match tinted serum for now. Never tried either of those.

[@ShanrellsStash]

The Believe beauty foundation is truly very good. I also really liked the L’Oréal infallible, but it made me break out, whereas the Believe beauty one never does. Great list!

[@lizyfiggy]

Where do they sell it

[@ShanrellsStash]

[@melissabourne4151]

Does anyone know what the color would be that's comparable to CoverGirl Classic Ivory, in the Believe Beauty one? I wonder how well it covers redness? Anyone know?

[@AndreeaC.]

L'Oréal infailible , Age Perfect BB Cream and Catrice are my go to everyday drugstore foundations. The Serum one i don't love it too much i feel doesn't stay the same all day, moves around my face and emphasize my pores( and i don't have large ones) but i like to mix it with full coverage ones.

[@lozafam]

I put the last two in my cart. I have experience with all the others you mentioned but I’m super intrigued by the long wearing ones at that price point. Thank you!!

[@pietramatina4827]

Try the wet and wild brand photofocus. This product is amazing. Comes in Matt or dewy formula.

[@prettykiwikawaii1995]

I love the blush your wearing today! Your skin is beautiful glowing. Shout out to your skincare routine and the products. I love the Believe Beauty Foundation. It’s not too thin or thick. I use it for when I don’t have any pimples 🤣💀 ( from hormones imbalance and if the pollen count is high ) #Struggles my focus area dark circles and dark lids. Since I discovered, I have hormone imbalance skin that makes me drier though I already have dry skin 🤯😩. I love the Catrice Foundation. I like the L’Oréal and Profusion but sometimes I feel too matte. So I have to use a Hydrating Primer which I’m not knocking ( it’s a me thing ) Those I have to play with and also go with the flow of the weather. TFS and have a good day.

[@dionline88]

So happy you included the Hard Candy Glamoflage - that's what I'm currently using. What a winner!! It doesn't take much to give a nearly flawless look and for the price? Total winner!! I had no idea that Profusion even made a foundation - I'll be checking that one out as well as the Catrice. I sure wish that brand was still sold at Ulta - I miss adding a couple of Catrice products to my online orders and having new products to test when they arrive. Great video as usual- enjoy your holiday weekend!!!

[@melissabourne4151]

What color is comparable to CoverGirl Classic Ivory to the hard candy glamoflage?

[@kamanama3671]

oh crap, I’m an oily skin girl in her late 50s wearing believe thinking it was a matte foundation. That’s why I look like I do at the end of my shift. Thanks for the info.

[@lauraestrada3977]

I tried it, and you were absolutely right. I've used Lancôme, Estee Lauder for years, and many others and this is very comparable if not better. Thanks for sharing.

[@rebeccapotter3413]

Put a pump in the foundation works perfectly fine.

[@whathaveudone2day]

OMG yep! Believe Beauty is no joke! I have the entire Skin line and my face is outstanding....women in Target TODAY were up my butt about it LOL. I have been using it for 5 days and tonight 02/05/24 I only did the foam cleanser and nothing else. The products are not only amazing for that day but repair your skin and make it better long term even on days you don't use them. The EWG (Environmental Working Group) has rated Skin/Believe Beauty from 1 to 4 meaning absolutely safe. I have the entire Hello Hydration line in my favs waiting at Target and I see ZERO reason for me to switch and or spend that kind of $$$$ now.

[@michy2630]

I called Loreal to complain about the dropper for the true match. I'm not understanding why their design-packaging team thinks this works well. I hope they change it. I returned mine but I'm going to try one of the other Loreal ones you mentioned here. Really nice review. Thanks

[@sheryljohnston7314]

Love your recommendations. You’re correct about Neutrogena serum. It’s perfect for everyday wear. I’ve bought so many expensive foundations and nothing had looked as nice as Neutrogena serum. Another favorite is the Pur tinted moisturizer. Thanks for your great reviews! 💛

[@margaretminer213]

Thanks for doing this video and great detail and descriptions of each foundation. I have the L’Oréal ones and use them regularly. Really want to try the last 3.

[@debe875]

Age Perfect was my go-to, even though the coverage was not enough for me, because the formula was better on my mature skin. But it's been out of stock where I shop, so I'm looking forward to trying some of these other options. Thanks!

[@COgirl394]

I also love the L'Oreal serum foundation. I took the glass pipette off of the top so it's not nearly as messy.

[@theeluannesantos]

I’m so happy you did this video! I have most of these foundations and the 2 I don’t have are on my list to get when I get to the store. I have to see the shades in person to decide which one is best for me. I have 3 different shades of the Believe Beauty foundation. It’s one of my favorite formulas. I also still love the Wet n Wild foundations. I’ve been mixing the dewy and the original together and it’s perfection! I have at least 40 foundations in my drawer, I really don’t need anymore but foundation is one of my favorite things to try. Thank you for your recommendations!

[@lozafam]

I do that as well with the wet and wild. That foundation (both formulas, but I do prefer the dewy) for $5 is outstanding!

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Great choices!

[@traci222]

I'm the same. I have plenty of foundations that I love, in different shades and coverages but I still love to buy new ones. Lol

[@lisaluft520]

Lobe this video! Would love to see other categories.I have oily skin and love the Believe Beauty. I have never thought of it as radiant though. Just natural.. I also love the WnW photo focus and tinted hydrator. I will need to try the Profusion one! I have never had luck with the L'oreal Infallible. I can't seem to find a good shade match for me.

[@carrieschmidt6251]

I've been absolutely in love with that Neutrogena serum foundation. I love the L'Oreal serum foundation too, but sometimes that one clings to dry patches, so I can't wear it daily (otherwise I would). The Neutrogena looks beautiful every time.

[@PixieTrixster]

When you say the serum option clings to you dry patches, did you mean the Age Radiance or w/e or the True Match serum one? I have dry, flaky skin that won't be tamed by any exfoliation/moisturizer. I just wanna even out my tone without looking all scaly :(

[@Kat-mf7mt]

I would love the L'Oreal Freshwear if there wasn't any fragrance. I might try the Catrice a shot.

[@DrugstoreMaven]

[@pinkpeachz]

Thanks for mentioning on the fragrance!

[@indigoangel258]

I have normal to dry skin and for me the L'Oreal Fresh Wear does NOT have a dewy finish-at all!! It literally sucks the life out of my skin, settles in wrinkles and makes me look 10+ years older!! I have to mix it with other foundations like their True Match Super Blendable foundation to get it to work.

Love the Infallible Foundation!! I heard the Loreal age perfect foundation balm is really good too. I want to try it.

[@lozafam]

It is good in a different way.. The balm is the kind of foundation you can add for touchups without it getting clumpy or cakey. It’s a very unique formula that you can build. It wears off very naturally unlike some of the other more potent foundations.
