[@LK-lz6lk]

I've always wondered what that description is suppose to mean about the product (in regards to: foundation, blush, etc.) Obviously, it's aging skin but, older women have dry, combo or oily skin too so,, I'm just not ever sure what that says about the product description. Lighter weight? Full coverage? More dewy or matte? I just don't know!🤔🤷🏼‍♀️☺️ ~Thanks!

[@michelleassous]

I’m obsessed with the reformulation of the Dior Backstage foundation. It’s perfect for my normal/dry skin. I get so many compliments on my skin every time I use it.

[@maritzac95]

Does it look matte or glowy?

[@Spawithcindy]

I just finished watching the WHOLE video. Thank you for doing this for us. I am so happy that you included the LA Mer foundation at the end. I have used this foundation and nothing else compares to it. I can never figure out why it is never mentioned even though it is so expensive. When you first are applying it you think that it isn't doing anything because it seems like it disappears but it really just blends with your skin so amazingly so fast that you think it has disappeared until you see how amazing your skin all of the sudden looks! I love it.

[@lynnhildaswartwood3378]

Nikki, in case someone else hasn't already answered, the Clinique 2, 3, 4 is their skin type code, i.e., Dry Combination (Skin Type 2), Combination Oily (Skin Type 3) and Oily (Skin Type 4)

[@RusellGuynup]

Hi! I just came back from a vacation in Europe. In *esluxscom* I bought the Monceau bag by the way and I love it!

[@user-lf5oz9ki8z]

As a mature, oily skin gal, I'm LOVING some of these recommendations. Finding foundation that lasts, conceals large pores, and minimizes the appearance of light to deep wrinkles, creases and crepiness is a constant challenge.

[@Hey-Robin]

So, which one met those challenges? No, I haven’t watched it through, just getting started. ❤️

[@sandraherrera8351]

I'm curious as to which foundation checks off your needs as far as a foundation. I too have the same issues with foundations. Please share your thoughts.

[@pawnerd3525]

Same issues here!! I would have never imagined as a kid that when I reached my age that I would still battle oil and pores and acne and texture while also battling wrinkles😂. That’s not fair! The oil is supposed to keep me from wrinkles dammit😂

Yesterday I wore the NARS light reflecting foundation and I was literally shook when I looked in the mirror after a long day of work that it literally looked just as good as when I applied it in the morning. It didn’t move at all but wasn’t cakey at all. 😍

[@andreamarksberry345]

Definitely one of my favorites!

[@dogwalker97]

I believe Pat McGrath was in charge of developing the Armani luminous silk foundation. Interesting and insightful that you immediately noted the similarities. Great video Nikki!

[@stargems]

your skin is glass in itself! just stunning. new revelations to me were the kvd liquid, kosas luminous, hourglass vanish stick, armani power fabric and that la mer. damn. tarte was abysmal even years ago. just greasy, muddy sludge. blushes now seem chalky as well. have always a true blue nars girlie. and loved your joy at revisiting an old favorite

[@holliecarlton1335]

Estée Lauder double wear is my all time favorite. It is the only foundation I've found that will not settle into the lines on my forehead, and I've tried MANY. I'm almost 50 years old and this has worked for me, for years. The key is not using too much. I love it and I hope they never stop making it. I wish I could find a cheaper "dupe" but I haven't yet. This is great for my very oily, mature skin. You don't need much, even for full coverage so it does last. Love your videos!

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Omg Nikki !!!! This is the type of content that I always wished for on KZbin! THANK YOU for all of your hard work and the unbelievable dedication that you keep showing us over and over again! I really hope one day you can bless us with another video like this that covers powder foundations - as an oily skin gal, those are the types of foundations that work best on me. I will definitely rewatch this video multiple times to really properly absorb all of the invaluable information. Thank you!

[@lesleylathrop6062]

Thank you for addressing mature skin

[@katam3310]

That is great but mature skin is not a type, I'm more mature and combo/oily , I have my texture, lines but I can only wear double wear, only this one gives me the longevity I need, my T zone is very oily 😅❤

[@AllyKit]

My top three of the 37 I have tried on your list? 1. Armani Luminous Silk 2. Armani Power Fabric (for more coverage on rosacea spots or for special events/photographs) 3. I would say the Laura Mercier glow foundation but it's not on your list Runner up: Nars Sheer Glow My criteria for my mature combo skin? Light - med buildable coverage, no SPF / flashback, no strong scent, good shade match, sets down with no powder necessary. Natural finish. Not too glowy, not too matte, not makeup-y. Not asking much! These glide over lines texture and dry patchy tretinoin flakes yet still work in the oily T-zone. Yes I'm the Princess and the Pea of foundation 😊 Nars only made runner up due to the lack of perfect shade match, longevity is not as good unless used with the Milk gripping primer which is a great combo. The PML, Shiseido and Laura Mercier Weightless made it to my arsenal. Just not as good as Armani. May the Armani live forever without reformulation! 🙏 MUFE Forever HD (discontinued) was a holy grail may it R.I.P.

[@anne-mariespeirs3773]

Never did I ever think that I would watch a 4hr video about every foundation at Sephora and only Nikki La Rose could make me do it. 😊 Plus I could have watched for another 4 hrs easily. ❤ I am amazed that your skin still looked flawless after all that.

[@catetanenbaum2418]

There merit stick in Dune is the most perfect color match of any foundation I've ever seen. Sadly I agree the texture isn't great. But I keep trying bc the color is so perfect for me.

[@felicityestrin9289]

I actually bought one and hated it at first--gave me heinous texture when I applied it with the brush. Then I gave it another try for spot concealing mainly, dotting it on and melting it in with the heat of my fingers. Now I like it a lot; the shade is a good match for me, and it has a very natural satiny look that blends in well with the rest of my face where I haven't used it. Not saying it couldn't be improved upon, but I'll definitely finish the stick and possibly buy it again.

[@michellewhite6692]

Nikki, thank you for speaking out about the lack of shade ranges some of the cosmetic companies continue to offer.

[@debrap5758]

Well, the lack of shades goes in a couple of directions. There are lines that don’t include enough shades in the darker colors, and lines that are too yellow with no neutrals or pinks. The lines that don’t include anything for us pinker peeps are MUCH MORE NUMEROUS than the lines that don’t have enough deeper shades. It’s a problem! Many of these lines I can’t even think about because of how yellow they are. 🤨 Nikki mentions that with Too Faced, but so many only have pinker colors in the very fair shades. As soon as you get into the slightly darker shades, there are often no shades with pink undertones. It’s sad….

[@TracyD2]

@@debrap5758pinker undertones used to be far more popular in the past especially in drugstore. That used to be why I couldn’t wear foundation almost ever from drugstore or many brands. I need gray green. Me aside I find quite a few people have been saying they cannot find pink undertones anymore. I don’t know what happened.

[@acidroads4277]

Nikki, thank you for remembering your mature fan base while making recommendations on these foundations. It took me a few days to go through the entire video, but I loved it & watched it twice as I took notes. From your recommendations I first want to try the KVD liquid, Laura Mercier, Dior Forever, & Lancôme Teinte Idole Ultra Wear foundations, but I made a long list of other foundations I may try if & when they go on sale!

[@Mrs.Mamabean]

I watched this whole video!! Took me 4 days with little kiddos but I enjoyed every minute of it! Your product recommendations and techniques have seriously changed my life. After turning 27 and having 3 kids my skin was so different and none of my makeup products/techniques were working all the sudden.

[@missyscarborough1301]

Nikki, I so appreciate the time and commitment you put into this series where you try all of various product offerings at Sephora. I’ve heard you mention before that your skin eventually starts to react negatively to the on/off to showcase each item, which I suspect any skin type would begin to scream ‘enough’ at a certain point. I can maintain the same routine at night with the same well proven products and still wake up with red annoyed cheeks for reasons unknown to me. I hate dealing with it as it is uncomfortable and visibly frustrating. Experiencing those days gives me a hint at what your cheek starts to feel like and, no doubt, you are taking one for the team to do it anyway because you want to help us. So I truly am thankful to have your channel and your video catalog to refer back on as often as need be for advise or guidance.

Took a bit of time to dry down but I felt like it gave "life" to my skin (not full coverage but I really enjoyed it!!). It's on my hit list for the VIB sale!!! Have you tried the Nars Sheer Glow---Wayne Goss introduced me to it about 6 months ago, I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!!

[@janfromseattle]

Hi Kemberly! Thanks so much for your wonderful reply! I love a good medium coverage so I think I’ll definitely try Danessa. So glad you liked it. I’ve never tried Nars’ Sheer Glow! My skin is so dry and it sounds perfect. I almost never hear anyone talking about it! Wayne Goss has never steered me wrong!

[@user-su7mf4pm7r]

Nikki, I cannot thank you enough for you insight, attention to detail, and time! Watching you swatch one foundation after another is soooo exciting. You are unbiased and are candid about each and every product you test. I know that every product you like has your seal of approval, and please know trust your judgement blindly! I am happy to follow your suggestions because you're honest, authentic, and extremely critical. The fact that you put together a 4-hour video is just astonishing on its own! Thank you SO much for providing insight into so many different options for everybody. Your video is beyond amazing! Thanks again for your honesty and your hard work! P.S. KUDOS for being such a great makeup artist and person! You've been a makeup inspiration for me since I first found your channel. I AM THRILLED TO have seen this video. I relished every single review, and I know I can rely heavily on your pointers, taste, and preference! Thank you SO SO SO MUCH!

I had received a sample size of the CT Airbrush Flawless Longwear Foundation and watching your video this morning inspired me to finally try it out. The shade was a bit dark and yellow for me, but I AM HOOKED!!! I even wore it during my workout today and it survived flawlessly. My skin is oily to oily/normal combo in the winter, mature with lots of creases and large pores and this foundation was perfection on me. I'm SO excited to buy a full-size in a proper color match, and it's actually going to replace both my Estee Lauder Double-wear and my Dior Forever Matte, and that's saying a lot.

This video couldn’t have arrived at a better time! My husband and I and our cat are driving from Georgia to Massachusetts this weekend … perfect time for long form sensory content 🥰✨

[@karlieneporter4939]

Thankyou for all the hard work that went into making this video for us , wow I absolutely loved the info , comparisons and just the journey through the foundations . You had me sold on the last 5 especially the LeMer how stunning is that foundation , I haven't converted to our Aussie dollar and to be honest I'm a tad scared 😳. Sending my total appreciation across the waves from Australia 🇦🇺 to you , Thanks so much Nikki ❤

[@JujuS93]

I love videos like this. They are the perfect resource to go back to again and again!

[@mynaffit]

Love the effort put into these series! Please do a concealer at Sephora series!

[@kerriwright4593]

I really love the radiant version of the synchro skin so much too. It's one of the radiant foundations that are self setting. It's beautiful and long wearing.

[@oananiksz]

Nikki, this was awesome! I love the way you put your time and effort to make a really amazing video for us all to benefit from. It was very well made, and each foundation explanation short and complete. 💯% love it!! And i also appreciate the amout of details and money you spent in order for this video to be up! These videos of yours are amazing 😍. i will definitely try the more for dry skin foundations - the Two Faced one, the KVD and Dior backstage are on my list now thanks to you 😊

[@sunnydelrosario5845]

Another fan here!!🥳 Nikki I’d love to see you do a review of your favorite professional foundation you use in your kit, RCMA, Kryolan, Graftobian!? And what skin types u use them for and what skin prep with them!! Keep it up!!🥳

[@barbaramiller7057]

Wow!!! I loved this!! I cannot imagine the time, effort, money and passion this was. You and Mitch did an absolutely fabulous job!!! Love you so much!! You are the best!! ❤

[@alexandralevin1202]

Thank you, Nikki, for doing in-depth analysis as well as the hard work; your efforts are much appreciated. ❤

[@Kat__111]

After years of using the same foundation that matched my skin, I decided to take a leap and try a different brand. Legit so grateful for your video ❤ this is exactly what I needed for research!

[@suemeechae]

Thank you Nikki!! Super interested in the Shiseido Synchro Skin and the Lancome Ultra Wear. Also I made it a point to let all ads run full length as appreciationn for your hard work!! Love these videos ❤

[@jann3443]

I love the Too Faced Healthy Glow foundation. Love! Been using it for over a year. It hasn't gotten enough love! So happy Nikki reviewed it and loves it. She had it with her in London, if I'm not mistaken. ❤

[@lauratheclaire]

Would you agree it’s more light to medium? I’m looking for a good light coverage foundation

[@bjabbi7328]

@@lauratheclaireI definitely find it more light coverage, it is actually a skin tint. I have other skin tints that have a little more coverage but I really love the too faced one

[@taniay8574]

OMG this was the best youtube makeup video ever and I have seen a lot of them! The amount of effort and dedication you put into your videos really shows. This was the most helpful video on foundations I have ever seen. Super informative and love how your recommendations were based on dry, mature, oily skin etc. Amazing!!!!!

[@user-lp8im4nh6v]

Thank you for the detailed information you provided. I realized why some foundation shades didn’t work well after you shared how some brands label the opposite skin tone. I appreciate how easy the chapters and links were listed. 💗💗💗

[@joannechu8255]

Thank you for your hard work, Nikki! And let’s not forget Mitch for editing it! I can’t imagine the hours of footage you both had to watch through before posting!!

[@felicitycann949]

We appreciate you so much for your dedication to making this video!! I am so pumped to watch it! Thank you!

[@doodlemort]

i absolutely loooove the merit stick! i'm surprised she doesn't like it. it matches me perfect and blends so easily for me - plus it looks so natural!

[@deeleo2495]

The past few years I have tried many foundations to try to find the ones that work well with my now mature, drier skin (I'll turn 60 later this year). My top three are Armani Luminous Silk, NARS Light Reflecting and Este Lauder Double Wear. Today I actually wore the Este Lauder which I had stopped using because it wasn't wearing as well as it used to on my dry skin. However, today I mixed it with a small amount of the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter (suggested in a recent video by Glam Girl Gabi) and OH MY GOSH, what a beautiful combo! I have had my eye on your BK Beauty Pro Foundation Brush you were using today. So many people are raving about it so I'm just going to have to break down and purchase one of my own! Thanks for all of the work you put into this video!

[@kitties6549]

YES!!!!!!!!! Thank you for this labor of love! You have no idea how much I love these types of videos!

[@adriennef7219]

I’m so excited for this!! Thank you for all you for us!!! You’re the best!! 💙💙

[@user-td2og2wj8c]

This was so helpful! I’m a 56 year old who is getting back into wearing makeup after letting my skin regimen fall by the wayside for several years.

[@kellybrick1618]

This is some true dedication and I love this series! Absolutely addicted to them, yes I’ve been heavily influenced. Love you Nikki ❤ Thank you!

[@Kate_538]

As always, super helpful Nikki! Curious, you used the BK 106 brush with the Dior Forever Skin Glow foundation instead of your foundation brush, was there a particular reason for that decision? For example, the BK 106 brush is better for the viscosity of the foundation..?

[@nikiluv408]

Can you do a follow up and pick your top 5 or 10?

[@bartieanna]

i just have to say, you are a soldier a real trooper, to make this unbeliveble long video, spend so much money, so much time wouwwwww i am trully impressed, and i just can tell you are such a good good person, to your core good, honest, wonderful person. Thank you Nikki!!! I mean THANK YOU NIKKI !!!

[@vonda0387]

I have had your brushes in my cart for weeks and after watching this whole video, went straight to my cart and purchased! Wow, you put some work into this one for us and it is definitely appreciated!

[@gabysilveyra]

Nikki I would love a video of self tanners that you use. Your tan is always so on point!!

[@jessabeauty917]

I didn’t think of it but, YES!

[@ShaunaCarlin]

She said she doesn't use self tanners (except for her legs in the winter, she said she uses a gradual self tanner to match the rest of her body). This is her natural skin tone

[@alessandrabarros6917]

I’m really impressed with your kindly description of so many foundations! Congrats❤

[@eddy4732]

Hi Nikki, loved your video. I’ll be honest I went directly to the end to see your La Mer review 1st. As someone who never ever wore foundation (till about 1.5yrs ago), this was the first and only foundation I use. I have very oily skin and didn’t think I could wear foundation. I absolutely love this foundation and I wanted to see how you felt about it too. I am so glad (not surprised) that you loved it too. I only use foundation when I’m traveling for work (1-2x month) and it has lasted me over a year…a little goes a long way. It gives me justification, knowing somebody else loves this pricey bottle. Thanks!😊❤

[@Melanie-po1wk]

ahhhh yesss!! SOOOO ready for this one!! can't wait for every concealer at sephora whenever that is in your schedule 🤗

[@keyulinghu4571]

You are the legend Nikki! Super appreciate this comprehensive review!

[@user-oi8we2ys5g]

Nikki, we so very much appreciate your precious time and efforts in producing this video. As a new makeup lover, I find shade matching to be quite the task. And, yet it seems like you at times have the same issue. I don't feel so silly about it all. I have a few of the foundations you featured and am happy that you liked them. I'm very curious about the KVD and Shiseido for future purchases. Again thank you for this review.

[@christenryan9177]

This is seriously next level!!! Thank you so much! I know this is a lot to ask (and would obviously take a long time) but would love a follow up with wear test, your best of the best, etc. 💕 Thank you again!!! Incredible!!!

[@AP12360]

Your skin is amazing, and you don't need foundation; any foundation would look gorgeous on your skin. Additionally, I respectfully disagree with you on the Armani Luminous Silk foundation. As someone with mature and dry skin in my 50s, I found that this foundation did not complement my skin well and, in fact, looked rather unflattering. Have you tried any of the Chanel foundations? I would love to hear your thoughts on Chanel. Thanks.

[@maritzac95]

I didn’t like the Armani one either.

[@AlexandraHaleReviews]

Now THIS is my kind of movie! Thanks so much for taking the time and the investment to make this video. SO helpful! Keep up the good work ❤

[@llvluis]

Im speechless about this video, the details, how much knowledge Nikki has, how well expressed as well...impressive 🎉 thank you thank youuu

[@rebelprynsez24]

Wowza! After breakfast and lunch I finally completed the whole video and boy was it worth it! Thank you for fully describing each item for us😊❤️ Of course now La Mer will be on my mind☺️

[@maryarmstrong2231]

The CT beautiful skin settled into fine lines on me. I’m guessing the Prada wasn’t available yet? Have you tried the basma? I love it but would to see you compare it to the other stick formulas. Thank you for your hard work. Would love a wear test follow up on some of the ones that were super new to you❤

[@patriciaschmidt4786]

I have the Merit stick foundation. I like it. It's actually quick to blend once you get use to it. I tend to use it when I'm in a hurry. It works best when I use Merit's oil before.

[@lynniarc]

I like merit bisque for travel to reduce tsa liquids. Fenty stick pilled no matter what serum/moisturizer I tried.

[@patriciaschmidt4786]

I have linen and like it for travel too.

[@jenniferzehner6391]

I used the Ilia True skin serum foundation for years and loved it! I even wore it for my brother in laws wedding knowing I’d be in a lot of photos. I’m in my late 50’s. It was beautiful. It’s a brand for those who are concerned with ingredients, those that have sensitivities to to ingredients and parfums. I just finally got my skin looking so much better, so I don’t need a medium foundation coverage anymore on the daily. Love this foundation!

[@judy2838]

I can’t tell u how helpful this is. I will refer back to it for years to come! Thank u for the hard work that went into this. So helpful!!❤❤❤

[@faithbeaudry8509]

I loove this video and thank you for the effort, but a wear test is so important. Some of the ones you tried go on beautifully but the wear tests on other channels show they might not be recommended. The Kosas for example looks so makeupy after a few hours. I recommend noting down what you liked and looking for in depth reviews. Thank you for this, I wrote down a lot of ones I want to check out ❤
