I just tried the red one and I love it. Every time I saw my face in a mirror I was shocked how smooth it looked on my skin. (59 yr old face, dry skin). In my top 3 favorites of all time! 😊

[@iamlisa63]

I just turned 61 and I love the red one too ! I don’t like it with the sponge but it’s perfect applying It with a brush ..kinda want to try this one now !

[@Cali_Jeni]

@@iamlisa63 I applied it with the sponge it came with and then tapped it out with a damp sponge. It was flawless even 13 hours later (the red one). I will have to try it with a brush next. 😁

[@SoulShiner1115]

44 years old with very dry skin, and I fully agree! I love it. It’s in my top 3. I rotate between it, Ritual de Fille 3 Drop Foundation and KVD Good Apple Balm. The Ritual de Fille looks best on me but doesn’t wear as long as l long. The KVD is very high coverage, but a little too dry looking sometimes.

[@Cali_Jeni]

@@SoulShiner1115 I will have to find the Ritual one and try it. The Chanel foundation les beiges is in my top 3. And the Nars Light Reflecting foundation makes up the top 3 for me. 😀

[@akabetty1]

I had no idea they had so many options. Can't wait to see how this video turns out. 🎉

[@micheleg81]

There is a pink Tir Tir. Will be interested to know what you have there. I think you might like the Missha cushion. I’ve been enjoying it! Also received Lumene CC cream from Amazon today. It’s got some really good reviews. We’ll see! Have a great weekend!

[@amydaniels6442]

I love it, Shelly! Everything looks good on you, imo! ❤ I’m officially obsessed with the pink version. I ordered two backups! 😂

[@traceyleeherrera5247]

lol! I just commented asking if she would be trying the pink & then I read your comment! thanks for helping me decide to go ahead & try it out 😉😃

[@amydaniels6442]

@@traceyleeherrera5247 I really hope you love it! A thin layer is the way to go for me. I have normal skin with sometimes a shiny t zone, and I had to add just a little extra moisture.

[@joylewullis9538]

Thanks for doing the comparisons of all three. I have the red one and I’m sticking with that one. Since I’ve applied it with a brush, it’s really nice. You’re the best! What’s your favorite sandwich?!?! Haha.

[@goow]

Jimmy Johns number 6 veggie, no tomato, add pickle, add sauce (oil and vinegar) =D

[@andresfamily3560]

I was hoping you’d review this! The sliver seems like it would be best for my dry skin. There is a pink one and a black one too.

[@janreding9384]

Well I ordered and received the mini red one today so tomorrow will be my first day wearing it so I'm not sure what I'm in for but I'm kind of excited I would like to see you do some skin care from the brand I think that would be interesting anyways thanks Shelly

[@Sharon-Australia]

Nikki lá Rose tried the black tir tir one but said she had found the shades were different on different ones eg the red was red one was lighter than the black one. Love to see the skincare tried thanks Shelly ❤️❤️

[@louisemcmillan3576]

So another great Tir Tir foundation, I really love this one. I'm ok with 8 hours of wear. Plus when you apply a primer and/or setting spray or powder, you'd probably get longer. I have the red one, but didn't know they had other finishes when I bought it. There's nothing wrong with it but I don'treally like full coverage or matt foundation and so should definitely have bought the white or silver. The little compact is also great for your handbag and touch-ups on the go if necessary. Your eyeshadow looks fab. Those What's Up Beauty palettes are such good quality.

[@akabetty1]

Yes, please review their skincare. I would love that!

[@helenstuckey4042]

Please educate us on which face primers are silicone based and which are water based please!!!!!

[@reneklein6049]

Hi Shelly. I'm so happy with the red version, that I don't feel the need to try the others. I'm so glad that you are showing the differences between all 3. I'm really liking the Polite Society Mascara. At first I wasn't sure. But it gives great length and volume. We need rain desperately as well here in PA. Funny, I don't find the red one to be matte at all, even on my dry skin. Perhaps it's the products I'm using underneath. Thanks for the review! Have a great weekend.❤🩷🥰

[@GenerationXtra]

Looks great on you! I have the red but now I need the silver for sure.

[@helenstuckey4042]

Is this water based or differently based? As I prefer to use a primer and I’m trying to figure out which one to use!!!!

[@helpfulnatural]

The finish is nice with this one but longevity of wear is so-so. Shade match too looks pretty good. Shelly, have you tried the new Revolution liquid bronzing drops? It's really pretty, doesn't leave a sticky film like cream bronzers do and the shade Scorched has a lovely neutral/reddish undertone. It sheers out beautifully on the skin so looks very natural. If you try it, would love to see you review it. I found mine at Target but I'm sure it's most likely at Ulta as well. 🌞 I went to the amazon page for the pink formula and it appears that it has higher coverage, matte finish and claims to have longer wear time, 72 hours. It also touts the higher coverage masks acne, etc.

[@ivonnehansson4938]

Thanks 🙏🏼 for the review of all 3 TirTir foundations 😊 I have ordered the red one 😊 Hopefully I like it as much as a lot of others do 😊

[@nickimontie]

I have the black compact version. It’s not full coverage and would be good for oily skin, in my opinion. It’s perfect for me in the summer.

[@Gigi-jn2ss]

Thank you Shelly! I have been trying to decide which tirtir cushion to purchase next. I tried the red one and feel like it is too matte. Think I will try this silver one. Also yes there are 4 different tirtir cushions The pink one is a thing 😊 Have a great weekend! 😁

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Shelley I haven’t tried them due to shades tbh. Shade #13 in Missha I had to add white mixer as I am so pale. I think I might be shade #11 in Korean makeup but few brands offer that shade. Best wishes x

[@melodie973]

Sadly only 3 shades in the glowy versions , I may try the red in the mini size 💜

[@greenbeauties]

The refill looks like the matte cushion version. I’m waiting for that to come to my address. I only tried the red one but I didn’t like it on my oily skin

[@Heather_isms]

I have the red one, really like it, and got it because of your review, Shelly! I'm curious about their milk toner, too. Thanks for reviewing this one.

[@ellen-in-the-cle]

I’ve been using the milk toner for a few months and really like it! Very hydrating. I’m 61 with dry/ combo skin.

[@reganszczepanowska8272]

Love love the milk toner!! 60 years old w/ dry skin .. the SOS serum if awesome as well

[@kathrynvaughan9789]

Buriti Bronzer from RMS Beauty has a red undertone in case you haven’t tried it yet

[@a.p.9381]

Are you coming to Ireland this summer? Because let me tell you, it has been miserably cold and rainy - more than happy to let you bring back some of the rain with you to help with the drought 😅

[@goow]

Sadly we did not do the study abroad trip this summer, but all of the Irish people I follow online had such bummer reports on the weather that maybe it was a good summer to miss my trip! But I already know even if I don't do the teaching program I need to go back next summer because I just miss Ireland altogether!

[@aprilm3848]

Shelly, this one looks beautiful on you, too! I think you’ve found your brand! Do you think the product would last longer with a good setting spray?

[@goow]

It likely would, yes! I haven't tried yet.

[@weir_family]

Have you ever done an AMA…? I’d love to watch one, or even better, an old school DRAW MY LIFE!!! Pretty pleas!!! I’d love to know your upbringing, schooling, early' career, moves, relationships, etc. anyone else second my requests?? Maybe I am just nosey

[@marybonome9279]

I purchased the Matte ..scared?! 😯 Ty Shelly!😅😅😅😅

[@goow]

Was it the red matte? That one actually is great for me!

[@traceyleeherrera5247]

are you planning on trying the pink version?

[@goow]

I have to find a good way to store it or buy the full size because I accidentally bought the pink refill instead of the pink compact so once I open it it's going to dry out unless I buy the compact or find another way to keep it sealed!

[@StephiesCorner]

I prefer a matte foundation. I love the red one.

[@CatKim2]

I was going, Haven't I seen this before, lol? Love the Essence Stay N Play eyeliners. You didn't influence me on those- I got one as soon as they came out. You're too young to be an OG punk. Says someone who had The Sex Pistols on cassette, lol.

[@mandiwolfe6631]

Which would you prefer this or the new ELF foundation --- they're both a satin type finish. I can't decide which to try on my late 40s almost 50 dry sensitive skin. I don't have many wrinkles aside from undereyes, but I do have rosacea and some hyperpigmentation from my tanning days in the 90s lol

[@goow]

I'd probably go Elf based on price but I prefer the TirTir just a smidge more. But the Elf wears really well on me too.

[@joylewullis9538]

Hi Shelly! Weird question I guess, is there a reason you always use the same foundation swatches every time you do a comparison against a new foundation? Are they your true to colors? Anyway, just curious 🤨.

[@goow]

They're the ones that when I put them into the various shade finders online usually get me to a workable match. And I use those specific ones because I wanted to have both drugstore and prestige if someone has them to be able to compare, so that's why it's WnW and Estee Lauder (since those are both super common and a lot of people have them), and MAC because at least until recently, anyone that used MAC tended to know what their shade was in MAC. But now that MAC shades are less consistent in the newer formulas, that one is probably only useful to people who knew their shade in MAC before they got inconsistent.

[@susanjeffries5108]

I've never tried a cushion foundation but the Tir Tir foundations are intriguing to me. Does anyone have suggestions about color matching? Always so hard to color match from an online swatch, especially when a foundation is full/high coverage.

[@lmullens75]

Shelly, do you think that with a tinted spf underneath it would hold up better? I just had a basal cell carcinoma taken off my cheek, and the incision is so long! I'm thinking that in addition to stepping up the sunscreen, I will likely need more coverage over the scar. My Saie tinted moisturizer has been my fav (and my close second is my EltaMD tinted that is just a bit dark) maybe it would help it not fade?

[@ambergerhelper7852]

I’m so sorry. May I also recommend silicone scar sheets? They’re really helpful. ☺️

[@lmullens75]

@@ambergerhelper7852 Thank you! I just got some from Amazon. The clear ones say makeup will go over them, but haven’t tried, yet. The clear ones were too wide, so I’m going to be able to cut each one in half to make them last longer.

Tbh, we're all friends here. It seems void of color? Like a sunscreen color. Could be my phone. Love you ofc, but this one is not my fav on you. 🌞

[@mistytells]

It wasn’t about telling you how to put it on. It was about how you’re supposed to apply it. You give people tips all the time. That’s all anyone was doing. It does have directions and there are how to videos on it.

[@melodie973]

@@mistytells I would think with makeup, we can all choose how we apply products, no one is forced to follow the directions if they prefer other methods etc

[@mistytells]

@@melodie973 I didn’t say that people should be forced to follow directions. Where did I say that? She sat there putting that lady’s makeup on the other day, telling her what she should do to apply her makeup. She shouldn’t be telling us how to do things, if we can’t give her tips. I’ve never seen another “KZbinr,” especially one that isn’t an actual makeup artist, so offended by people giving them tips. Nobody should be telling anyone how to put makeup on, then. People ask actual makeup artists on here for tips. They ask us for tips. I don’t get why she and all of you guys are acting so offended. With that, I’m exiting and I’ll be on my way. I’ve been here since the beginning. I’m not going stick around and let other people be made to feel like they did something wrong just by giving a makeup enthusiast ONE tip.

[@goow]

That's not all anyone was doing when they're name-calling and berating me while "giving me tips." But those comments are gone because I blocked anyone who called me fat or ugly or useless or stupid. I welcome feedback and comments and criticism. I am a teacher that loves learning new things. I am GLAD to be corrected when I'm doing something wrong! It helps me learn! But if a person is going to call me names instead of offering constructive criticism, I've got zero time, attention, tolerance, or care for what that person has to say, and that's not what this community is built on. So, no, I won't follow tips from people who can't share what they know with kindness.

[@bjornolson21]

I sent a little bougie with makeup this month and got cle de peau radiant natural version 🫠

[@goow]

Oooooh I need to find me a good reason to have a good bougie splurge (though last month's Sephora trip probably counts as one). 🤣🤑

[@bjornolson21]

I totally get what you mean. And that’s the most sensible thing, getting more products for your money. I just wanted to try. Haha. At least you get a little more than the standard fluid ounce in it and if you don’t like it you can return it, but if you do end up liking it. That price tag 😩
