This Fenty powder foundation got everyone confused. Forreal Forreal. Side bar I love how you include your foundation shades in every video. That is soooo helpful!!

[@AleJay]

Exactly!! Thank you!! I try to make it easier ☺️

[@someoneimportant6390]

Me too, made me subscribe. She’s my exact shade😁

[@KhadyB]

I have used the Mac powder foundation for years and it has never let me down. I considered trying the Fenty one but it is much more expensive (you only get 9g of product vs 15g in MAC) and the MAC works for me so I just couldn't justify the purchase.

[@AleJay]

Nice!! I would try the Fenty just to compare. You never know if you’d like it more ☺️

[@KhadyB]

@@AleJay You’re right! I’ll try to figure out my shade and order it! 😊

[@sophiaj3678]

I'm going back to the old ways, the classics lol I don't know why I stopped using Mac foundation and Lancôme powder. Your skin is gorgeous by the way.

[@chantiacalhoun9147]

I am 385 with the pro filter, Mac was my 1st love.... I am stuck in the middle

[@cambriajolika]

I’m a 440 in the Fenty liquid and the 420 powder matched me perfectly. I’ve never tried powder foundation but Fenty sold me. It’s also great to top off on top of tinted moisturizer or other liquid foundations.

[@tamyra5460]

You're my skin twin. I.am 440 in liquid and the 420 powder fits me perfectly. I love the texture and formula of the Fenty powder so much. The blur effect is so beautiful.

[@AleJay]

I agree!! Fenty was great!! ☺️

[@melaninqueen4562]

I don’t know , the Mac looks a little to red/dark and the fenty looks a little to yellow pale 😩 the struggle in finding our perfect match is exhausting!! The fenty appears to be a little lighter in coverage but honestly I like the Mac foundation better . I think I will go purchase it . Thanks 😊

[@AleJay]

I agree!! I hope this video helps!! ☺️

[@melaninqueen4562]

@@AleJay yes it does and thank you 😊

[@michelleh5706]

Dear Lord you have got the smoothest SKIN! 😍

[@AleJay]

Omg thanks so much! 🥰

[@naomii8153]

440 in Fenty to me looked like your shade in the past video. It did not look too dark to me. Sometimes when We are not used to a match, we think the shade is too dark. 385 is a definitely no,it looks ashy on you.

[@AleJay]

440 was actually dark on me in reality. It might have looked like a good match maybe because of the lighting

[@alaundagilmore8806]

I’m just a Mac Girl! 😂😂

I use to be when I was just starting off in high school. But the adult me was like... that’s your light bill.

So am I. I just purchased the Powderkiss Collection.

Yessssss💯💯💯💯💯

[@margarethendricks4731]

Yesss!! 👍🏽

[@m.cherisse7899]

For some reason, MAC powder never worked for me. I just ordered the Fenty and hoping for better luck. Thank you for your review!

[@AleJay]

Thanks for watching!!! I hope the Fenty works for you☺️

[@shaunmychale2754]

Studio Fix is it ! I’m late I had no clue it’s been out over a decade ! The Mac Studio fix is very paparazzi ready no jokes ! ❤

[@Gsega]

3:47 when you applied that to your skin… I just stared. It looked like the perfect match. Blended perfectly.

[@starr4eva]

I’ve been waitingggg for someone to do this

[@AleJay]

Glad you found it ☺️☺️

[@MissKhrissy]

Love this side by side comparison! I just reviewed the Fenty powder and i was pleasantly Surprised how Flawless it made me look

[@AleJay]

Nice!! Yes it surprised me too!! 😆

[@melodysavesme1394]

I have been waiting for someone to do a comparison video of these foundations! I struggle a lot to find my perfect shade too (especially match the right undertone to my skin tone), HOWEVER I am on the very pale close to albino rose neutral spectrum, so I cannot imagine how it must be frustrating to find your match... I must say I really like how the MAC powder looks on you! Great review btw and much love from Czech Republic

[@AleJay]

Thank you for watching and I’m glad I could help! ☺️

[@DomKBeauty]

Was waiting on someone to do a comparison video bc studio fix powder is my fav powder fou of all time 🙌🏿

[@AleJay]

Thanks!! Glad to be a help! ☺️

[@miguelpaul1164]

Mac studio fix powder is tried and true I try other things but nc41 is my go to and has been for almost 20 years lol!

[@webtvinspiration6550]

I'm so happy to come across this review because I first bought the 430 from Fenty and after the first une I saw it was super red and I have yellow undetone. I changed it at Sephora the day after for the shade 390 so at the beginning it was looks like ok and after 1-2 hours guess what it was was mega red and oxidied 🤔🤔🤔🥴🥴🥴🥴 So I got my staple powder foundation that I've been using for years the Mac studio fix and I don't have to worry about my power foundation getting red trough out the day

[@latestcourtney]

Now I definitely want to try the MAC powder! ✨

[@AleJay]

Please do!!

[@nessaboo232]

Me too lol I just got the fenty I'm not impressed

[@kp3191]

Yeah, 385 is too light for you but i could see it being used to set your under eye on natural makeup days.

[@TeeakaGigglez]

I'm loving the Fenty powder foundation I'm in the color 430 which is in line with the other foundations. I prefer the hydrating foundation over the soft matte because my undertone is better with that one. I pull more red than golden.

[@AleJay]

Exactly!! Thanks for watching! 🥰

[@NotsoplainJane]

Gurl, I’m having the same problem. I’m between 430/440 in the liquid, so I bought 5 shades since I’ve been seeing everyone looking red with the new fenty powders. Only keeping 1! lol Testing them out, and filming/editing my first YT video! (Which is A LOT, good on you for being consistent! 🙌🏾) I’m determined to find a shade 😆. You look beautiful in the end! Great vid as always ❤️👍🏾

[@AleJay]

Yes yes!!! Thanks for watching!! ☺️

[@caitlynguy193]

I’m so happy I found your channel, your videos are great and very informative.

[@AleJay]

Thanks so much! ☺️

[@harmoneypeters]

the mac one gives you more coverage and way more product ! bad move on fenty to give you little and to make the coverage so light to medium you dont see your moneys worth at all!! which is unfair to people who actually use powder as a foundation!

[@AleJay]

Exactly ! Thanks for watching this !!🥰

[@nethasmith9959]

I love my Mac powder I have nw48

[@AleJay]

Yay! 🙂

[@danawilson1020]

Me too, my shade is NW 50!

[@dianavaughan500]

They both looked good. Have you tried Mac NC range? Supposed to be a more neutral golden undertone if NW 45 was off. Also, I am 440 in the liquid and 420 worked best on me in the powder. It looks better on the skin than swatched alone. Thanks for the review.

[@AleJay]

No I have not. I may do based on your recommendation hmm ☺️ thanks!!

[@Love-dc5tq]

She’s right! For years they kept putting me in NW45 but last year I tried NC50 in the powder, Studio Fix liquid and the stick and it matches me perfectly!

[@Bkstar88bklyn]

I definitely couldn’t find my perfect match in the Fenty powder foundation but I like the formula. I was able to find my neutral undertone in Omowela cosmetics pressed powder (light to medium coverage) but I still prefer the Fenty formula.

[@AleJay]

Yeap Yeap ! I appreciate you watching ☺️

[@CaribbeanQueen72xx]

Woww you’re so beautiful ❤️ Am definitely a Mac girl ...

[@TheMajorDash]

Both of these foundations look great but they both appear to be way too light and ashy/cakey.

[@AleJay]

I agree the Fenty was ashy and not the right shade, but the Mac was a pretty good match

[@1nOnly7169]

WHO EVER RECOMMEND THIS VIDEO KUDOS TO THEM CAUSE I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING AND I THINK THE MAC REPS RECOMMENDED NW45 TO EVER PERSON WITH DARK SKIN(IN THE PAST) CAUSE ACCORDING TO THEM THAT WAS MY SHADE AND I ROCKED IT FOR 10 YEARS (B4 I KNEW BETTER TO DO BETTER) BUT SINCE I HAVEN'T BEEN WEARING IT CAUSE IT'S WAY TO RED ON ME I'M GOING TO BE TRYING OUT NC55 IN MAC BUT IN FENTY I WEAR 420 SO IMMA ORDER MINE AND I HOPE IT WORKS BUT I HOPE U R ABLE TO FIND A GOOD SHADE MATCH CAUSE IT LOOKS TO HAVE A NICE FINISH AND IT LOOKS GOOD ON U

[@judy4all]

Awwww thank you for doing this! Appreciate you ❤️❤️

[@AleJay]

Thanks for watching! ☺️

[@Moonbae0323]

Studio fix is a staple

[@dorethamcelliott4900]

Makeup looks great, may I ask what lip color are you wearing it's gorgeous?

[@YesItsLola]

420 would go perfect for 440 in liquid. FENTY looks like skin and doesn’t break up over the day on the skin

[@AleJay]

I agree!! Literally looks like skin 🥰

[@fatimahaidara5064]

Really???I wear 440 in both liquid foundations I got the powder in 430 so I could wear 420??

[@cherylthec]

Fenty undertones are all over the place... in the original matt formula, i used 420..(golden undertone) and I've not been able to match since..... the newer foundation and the power foundation are too red in the same shade.... they are not good at matching their own colors... confused...

[@AleJay]

Right!! I thought I was the only one. The undertones are a bit off and confusing

[@starblane1023]

I like full coverage I don't like lightweight foundation it seem like they put water in it and it just squirt out all over the place it's very light watery not my type of foundation 🤷💯 I'm still learning about makeup but I sure did not know that you can use press powder as a foundation interesting 🤔😍

[@1On1NaturalRebel]

I just came on and hit the like button!

[@AleJay]

Yay!! Thanks !!

[@lyvonnelemau3474]

I thought the Fenty foundation looked smoother... Either 1 you're still beautiful❤🌴🌺

Lovely.which hair is that darling and where did you purchase

[@magda188]

Which one has a lighter shade between NW43 and NW45

[@kjjannat9680]

I am nc 25 in mac.Should I go for nc20?Is it good as setting powder too?

[@nashaymarie2567]

I don't know if neutral is with red undertone, I thought with a red undertone was considered a warm undertone and a neutral undertone was a olive, yellow, gold mixture. idk I have to do more research, but i'm sure red is considered a warm color.

[@AleJay]

Red is a cool undertone. It's not about the color of the skin but rather the color underneath your skin. Red is considered a warm color but for undertone it is for cool undertone. Olive, Yellow and gold are all warm undertones

[@nashaymarie2567]

@@AleJay nooo I wasn’t talking about the surface I was talking about the undertone that color you see underneath the surface of your skin

[@mcrna]

Beautiful look! What lip combo is this??

[@AleJay]

Thank you. I used the Mac lip liner in chestnut and the Revlon glass shine lipstick in rum raisin

[@tyliah321]

these can be used to set the face right?

[@BriaBarrows]

So the Mac Studio fix pressed powder is a powder foundation?

[@XOthia]

I think you should of tried 445 in the fenty powder.

Thanks just went through it

[@deedee6943]

Would you say you can use nw48 as a finish powder to set everything?

[@kiykiyaaa]

Fenty doesn't even look like powder on the skin. MAC looks powdery in person and doesn't give as even as coverage. Fenty also makes your skin look seamless.

[@AleJay]

Yes fenty is more seamless and not as drying! Thanks for watching! ☺️

You are so beautiful with that makeup on I'm not saying you don't look pretty without it but you are gorgeous and I'm wondering is that a wig you have on 🤔 it's pretty though I think both of them shades are pretty on you and you're making a big deal out of the pores thing cuz I don't see them and I can't tell unless you point it out 😆😂😭💯

I love your videos 🧡. Not to be rude babe! But I think that it's a pity when you talk about pores and something that looks like a filter is glitching.. Meanwhile I'm being insecure while everyone has pores but just blurs them 😥. Again, not to be rude 🧡. And I understand that people use them, but I just like to see people show more of their natural skin.

[@AleJay]

Thanks for your comment, but I don’t use filters in my videos
