Im 47 and i hear and agree with a few makeup artists that with our mid mature skin its better to be a bit darker than lighter foundation bc if they sink into the pores and texture itll be seen . Plus having a darker foundation gives us the color we are losing. I find this foundation looking really nice.

[@Rue994]

It’s makes a huge difference but undertone I think overrides a lil light or lil dark. Too light and even a real great product will look bad. Dark you can tweak if you know how easier

[@1Light-1-1]

I am a makeup artist and I must say that the color of the foundation in age makeup depends on the type of appearance.

[@pwallace5359]

I didn’t realize that. I guess I need to start going a little darker. I’m 52. I don’t get a tan in the summer so I just use one shade all year long… pale.😊

[@liisabjork76]

@@pwallace5359 yeah I would take a it up a notch . One or two shades up. Your pores and lines won't be so stark.

[@awins3032]

Will you review the new Morphe Lightform foundation, please?

[@goow]

Just edited it! It'll post March 29 :)

[@SarahMcAshan]

Yyyyeah I hear you on the "it feels tight, I want to wash it off" thing. That's a deal-breaker for me. The foundation looks great, but if it's not comfortable all day, well, there are loads of options these days (how things have changed since we were 20!)

[@ADHDSOPHIA]

I had to return all of my revolution skin silk foundations because it is a horrible range for olive skin. The tones are either yellow or very pink. x

[@wyattlightning]

Have you tried the new Morphe skincare foundation? I have, and (I have thoughts) I'm dying to see you review it!

[@goow]

Just edited it - the video will post March 29!

[@julianursten6399]

I think you look stunning today. I love your eyeshadows, it makes your eyes sparkle. I especially love your fringe, you’re making me rethink having a fringe ‘cause you look so pretty

[@goow]

I don't know what it is about this particular time having a fringe cut but I am loving more than I ever have before :)

[@jenn8459]

Looks really nice. Too bad it feels drying though

[@kristinashelbrock7403]

I love your nails!

[@goow]

Thanks! I've got Una Gella extra short coffin shape tips on, topped with Color Street dry nail polish in the shade Wander Luster :)

[@aura3337]

Hello Shelly. World here. 🙃

[@goow]

Cracks me up every single time.

[@neneg.4264]

hey Shelly! I wanted to try out the MR foundation but couldn't decide the shade, so instead I got the new Catrice tinted serum and I'm surprised how much I liked it, ever since it came out the IT Cosmetics CC Nude Glow has been my go to but I think the Catrice one's gonna be among my top three, I have dry skin, maybe you'd like it... anyway, thnx for the review! hugzzz 💜

[@Rue994]

I’m obsessed with the Ulta Crush Complexion foundation. And the Relove Serum foundation is also really good, especially for being accessible now at Walmart and under $5 Kokie Skin Perfect foundation is great too. I don’t know why the original Kokie foundation doesn’t get way more love. The undertones even are better than drugstore and a lot of high end brands. Appreciate you not reading reviews before doing a review yourself. It without fail alters a review, subconsciously even. I would prefer creators didn’t even look at the star rating.

[@marionallen2222]

Have u tried the Lancome Teint Idole Foundation stick? Oh my goodness where has this been all my life 🤣🥰 it’s the perfect shade perfect natural matte finish it’s so creamy it’s just melts into my skin it’s seamless u cannot see that I’m wearing g foundation it just looks like my skin but wayyyyy better! Yay!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 I love it can u tell 🤣🤣🤣

[@sfkat]

I'm thinking of getting the Tient Idole Foundation Stick. I'm pretty pale. I like the ease of use application. Does it blend easily enough? How about coverage...I'd love to hear your thoughts since you love it - Thanks!

[@marionallen2222]

@@sfkat it blends like a dream even with just your fingers the coverage is medium and buildable Jen Phelps did a review of it a couple of weeks ago is what convinced me to try it 210 is a perfect light neutral but the have lighter ones it’s just about my favorite foundation ever I love a more matte finish it’s not dewy it just looks like my skin hydrated perfected not flat you gotta try it! Wore all day to the dentist had my teeth cleaned and it was perfect after

[@sfkat]

@@marionallen2222 Thank you! I think I will

[@goow]

I need to get it!!

[@MissGDC]

Waiting for the About Face The Performer Foundation. 😊❤

[@notimportant123]

yes!!

[@goow]

Coming this Friday!! (the video, that is!)

[@PatSelby-p8e]

Great video! That color of eyeshadow looks very good on you.

[@reikiwithcary2682]

Thank you Shelly! And smooches to Zeva!

[@susanr4663]

To good for us today, Ziva. Just a chair scratching. It ok its exhausting been famous. The product looked good. Thanks for the review.

[@goow]

LOL she did that when I was filming yesterday too - it's her new thing and I'd really like her to stop lol! Doesn't she know she gets way more attention when she jumps up on the chair?!

[@karlaharvey2623]

Hi Shelly, the foundation looks really pretty. Great color match. You always looks so pretty. Your eyeshadows don’t look xmasy at all. Very pretty. Oh, would you give a review of Castor Oil? It’s kinda of gone viral. Would love to see and hear your thoughts on it for skincare. Thank you sweetie. And thank you for always bringing us such great reviews on foundations and concealers. Would you please do more GRWM videos? Also, would you do an updated video on you Bauchi moisturizer?

[@goow]

Added video ideas to my list! In general I'm a big fan of castor oil. I even use it in my soap recipes.

[@sarahstroud6021]

I love you’re cream! I just bought some and it is so good!!

[@goodshepard00]

Thanks for the excellent review.

[@gfmiller]

Thanks for the review! I was very curious about this one and if it's drying but overall looks good, I will give it a try with a drop of oil which seems to work on my older-than-yours skin 😊

[@goow]

I suspect a drop of oil will help it a bunch!

[@rebeccac.1758]

I loved it! Buuuuut it breaks me out terribly. Oh well...... Boooo....

[@goow]

Bummer!!! I hope you were able to return it at least!

[@caveninit]

Just ordered your cream. Can't wait to try it!

[@goow]

I hope you love it! Please do let me know what you think!!!

[@megcormack681]

💙💙

[@cindypowell6358]

I’ve been watching your reviews for a long time. You were the one who got me hooked on Makeup Forever Reboot foundation. I since then have been using the Haus Labs foundation the past 7 months & love it. Today I tried the Makeup Forever HD Glow foundation & it’s absolutely GORGEOUS. So very, very, very flattering on my skin. Oh Shelly I think you will love it!! They actually have a perfect shade/color match for me too FINALLY. I’d love to see you do a review on it & see how it works for you. 😊💖

[@MsAmelia65]

Hi! 😊

[@JPMJPM]

Hi, Shelly!

[@goow]

HeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyY!!!!!! lol

[@liss441]

I just bought it but worried might be too light

[@Sophia-uu1im]

Love your eye look! I have desert dry skin so this may be a pass for me as I cannot do “feeling tight.” Have you considered reviewing the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Skin Tint? I use the Face Base as a primer and love it. However, I haven’t seen anyone review it in depth (or at least not the content creators that I trust such as yourself 😀). Thanks for another great video!

[@goow]

I haven't tried the skin tint and this makes me think I need to! Added to my list! Thanks, Sophia!

[@BrokenAngel_100]

Hi Shelly, I just subscribed and I just bought the cream and I hope it will help my very dry skin. Thank you for your wonderful video. 🧡💛

[@goow]

Thank you!!!

[@Jo2878]

Thank you for reviewing this foundation Shelly 🌞 It really did stay looking good on you. As you mentioned it felt dry after some hours, I'll have to skip this MR base and stick to their 'Conceal & Hydrate' one instead. x

[@Sharon-Australia]

Love your hair with bangs and you are such a beautiful soul hi from Australia ❤️

[@goow]

Thank you, Sharon! I hope Australia is treating you well! A visit there is on my life's bucket list :)

[@mlg2416]

have you done the new Morphe yet? Curious.

[@goow]

The video will post March 29! Just edited it!

[@tinadearwester6688]

Love your hair Shelly

[@carrieb9106]

I would like to order your Bakuchiol, but I'm using Trentinoin. Are the two compatible, able to be used at the same time or separately (am/pm)? 🎣

[@goow]

I don't know of any reactive problems between them, but because tretinoin is a pretty heavy-duty active, I don't layer them. I'll use bakuchiol in the morning and tretinoin at night, but not both layered at the same time.

[@carrieb9106]

👍

[@Jo2878]

Hi Shelly I realised today that 3 drugstore foundations that suit my dry and "paler side of fair" skin have been discontinued. Revolution's 'Conceal & Hydrate' Wet n' Wild's 'photofocus dewy' and NYX 'born to glow'. Would you consider doing a video based on comparable replacements for discontinued products you've previously reviewed? I've not used that magic word "dupe" because ingredients change. x

[@goow]

I just ordered the new Wet n Wild so we'll see if that will sufficiently replace the Photofocus Dewy!! I'll see if I can pick out some comparables for the others!

[@ambergerhelper7852]

I mix the lightest shade of Maybelline Matte and Poreless (Fair Porcelain) with the lightest shade of Missha Perfect Cover (#13) to get my perfect formula. ☺️

[@Jo2878]

@@goow Oh I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the new W&W tint 🌞 Understood it would take some time to find comparable products. xx

[@Jo2878]

@@ambergerhelper7852 Thank you for the tip 🌞 I'll definitely have to try that. My skin stays winter pale until May each year, lol. xx

[@reneklein6049]

Hi Shelly. Thanks for reviewing this foundation. I'm pretty happy with it. For me, it definitely needs a moisturizing primer. I bought both F6 and F7, but 7 was too dark, and I'm a bit darker than you with warm undertones. Interesting how different the same color looks differently on everyone. I've got the same blue blood vessel. Ugh. Wow. It looks great in direct sunlight. Love the highlighter. I definitely agree on your grading. Definitely try a really moisturizing sunscreen and primer. You'll see a difference! Have a great weekend. ❤❤

[@goow]

I'm shaking my fist at the blue blood vessel! LOL
