I REVIEW FENTY EASE DROP WITH SKIN AS DRY AS A LITERAL ACTUAL BONE. WHICH MIGHT BE THE WHOLE PROBLEM

[@HannahLouisePoston]

Friends, since filming this review I’ve become worried that I didn’t give enough out-loud consideration to how extraordinarily dry my skin is these days because of tretinoin. Sometimes skin is so dry that nothing “sticks” properly to it or looks beautiful on it, and I’ve had a few days like that lately. I want to clarify that on those days my other base products (like the MUFE concealer and Sephora Best Skin Ever foundation) have performed way better for me than Ease Drop, which is the distinction that caused me to feel confident that, at least in my case, the formula of this tint is the primary issue. But wish I had been clearer on camera about the fact that these are truly the driest of times for my face. If you are considering this product and you don’t have extra dry skin, I recommend watching multiple reviews (for example, my friend Kackie is also in her early 30s and she had a much better experience than I kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKjLm4uEl86qf6c). Thank you for watching!

[@kendalldhoff]

When I first started tret, I couldn't wear any foundations at all. For nearly a year. Now my skin is crazy oily, and it has been for several months. I regret not holding onto some of my foundations that didn't work for me because my skin had gotten dry.

[@catrice1296]

To be fair many people had the same issues as you and honestly i have the same problem with dry peeling skina and dry even tho i dont use tretnoin bc my skin just insists on being a little turd year round no matter what nice new moisturizing thing i use.

[@plainjayna]

I’m in the same boat with the retinol right now. No foundation or concealer looks good in my skin after a couple hours especially if I add powder. It just cakes up and looks soooo dry. I’m thinking mineral sunscreen may also be playing a roll in how dry my skin is? Considering trying a chemical sunscreen to see if it helps even though mineral is best for sensitive skin.

[@ivyb4351]

I use it 3× a week for about a year now. your skin will get used to it. I get mine from a friend is Russia for $15. usa its $109 we need to get better about prescription cost . some things should not require a prescription at all.

I’ve heard that this works better with a smaller amount of skincare underneath which does against every dry flaky fibre of my being ;)

[@Jess_Smith0903]

The amount of appreciation I have for the fact your intro isn’t scripted and repeated in the exact same words every time, is beyond what I can describe. It sounds purposeful and even though I know exactly what you’re about to convey, I actually listen to it every single time instead of sounding like a white noise until you get to “the meat of the video”.

[@cinemaocd1752]

This review is super useful for me because I am definitely of an age (51) where everything settles into fine lines. I also have combo skin that leans dry in the winter so this would be a hard pass for me. I had high hopes for it because Fenty finally addressed the much needed gap in the market for a light weight skin tint type foundation in a good color range. My continued rec for this category would be the MAC water weight, which is similar to the glossier in consistency, but gives a bit of coverage. It also has way better packaging (glass bottle with dropper) and works as a mix in with a hydrating primer. PS: I love your new Avatar. You look like you are wearing a crown. Queen of KZbin.

I had extreme textural issues with this too when I used my fingers or a brush. I found using a damp beauty sponge and bouncing it on stopped the textural issues and it looked pretty flawless after. I think the sponge method also made it more dewy looking. Edited to add: I am an extremly dry skin and dry patches/scab girl.

I would love to see a review on the newly expanded shades of Mac Face and Body! I’ve always wanted to try, and have renewed interest now that there are lighter shades! Update: I had to pick up something from a store and had a chance to try the new shades/get a sample! Shade N0 is definitely darker than both C0/W0! One of the shade(I think C0 since Mac undertones are backwards) was definitely very light/yellow! So happy I finally had a chance to try it, it is so beautiful!

[@Shadowsandflowers]

I’m in my mid 20’s and have dry skin. Even with prepping my skin beforehand, the eaze drop picks up on all the dry patches I didn’t even know I had. I really have to baby it, and not use the Auric glow lust for it to work.

[@prairie8356]

As a fellow very fair lady I too was excited by the color, but I had a similar experience. I love the ilia skin tint however, even though it has a bit to much glow for me, but it’s a great mixer and I can matte it out a bit with powder if I’m not feeling it. You’d probably get along way better with that one as well given your propensity towards that glowing moonbeam look.

[@wenzer2001]

I am 47 with combination skin and large pores. I wore the Coola Matte tinted spf for about 10 years, it was my HG base product, and I have been searching for an item that blurs and softens to the same extent that that the Cool did. Foundations don't really work that great for me. Foundation sticks are a bit better, but not by much. I recently tried this, and it works BEAUTIFULLY for me! I would agree that it does not set 100%, but it does set to about 90%. I also use my hands and really work it into the skin with no issues. I hope Fenty never discontinues this!

Know what’s wild? The typical amount you get for foundation - 30mL or a 1oz - is just two kitchen tablespoons! I totally agree that foundation packaging is a FARSE! 2 TBSPs seems like...what I pump out in a span of three uses. Not a whole bottle.

[@mollya8230]

this review was so useful! as someone who is oily, acne prone and who doesn't like to spend too much on foundation, the positive reviews of this were making me consider trying it for myself... but it sounds like a nightmare, i really hate base products that don't hold up. also i just bought a kiko lipstick in the shade 217 redwood and it reminded me of your shade redwood construction, i will be channeling HLP when i wear it

[@Angela.supera]

I had the same exact experience with this foundation as you did. And I don’t even have dry skin. I have combo oily. I felt like I was the only that couldn’t make it work and I tried everything. I had to return it.

[@adriannyc1]

Yup yup yup. This happened to me too. I returned it. Made my skin look awful. I reviewed it on my channel and tried a half dozen times, and I couldn’t figure it out. Too much work to make it passable.

[@MaryJoHeadrick]

I've had the same issues with the foundation sticking to my baby hairs, separating on dry patches and bringing my pores to the forefront. I have found that using a pore filling primer helps, both with appearance and wear time. If I am going to wear a primer, I will wear a pore filling one, but I don't typically use primers every day or with every foundation if that makes sense. I found that tapping over the top gently with a sponge, after it's been applied with a brush, helps it not have so many lines/unevenness. BUT I do like the way it wears, it's just a bit finicky to get just right. My skin is pretty normal. a lil Oily in the t zone, dry around my active acne where i'm applying tretinoin, etc.

[@isheeka2465]

What a disaster of a product! I feel like a (good) skin tint would be perfect for mature skin so it's a shame that this one performs so terribly. Incidentally, your glowy base makeup tutorial has really helped me as I've been struggling with texture, so thank you for that! I never would have thought that glowy skin would be flattering with blemishes and closed comedones but somehow it turns out it looks great. Also, this is a beautiful makeup look on you.

[@rhubihenderson1828]

I am 18 with normal blemish free skin and paired with the future dew this looks amazing, I often cannot even tell that I am wearing it other than that it is slightly more neutral than my golden undertones. I get almost no coverage and have pretty even skin so i don't see any correcting but it makes me look like i have a filter on; everything looks smooth and bouncy. I am very satisfied. P.S. it also is transferproof on me at least. I get more lipgloss on my mask than the tint lol. So in summary it was excellent spending this time with you, Hannah, and we had completely opposite experiences for all the reason you listed 😝lol

This was a great review. I think the environment you live in can be a factor. I also have dry skin. But I don’t have problems with the blemishes. I often wonder if all shades are formulated the same. This is exactly what happened to me when I tried using the Charlotte Tilbury airbrush flawless foundation. If it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work

[@96Hopi]

I'm the demographic you suggested for this product. Early 20's, oily, clear skin. In *theory* this sounded like the perfect product for me, but the description you gave left me completely horrified. Product lifting off my face and sitting in my pores is the main reason i stopped wearing foundation, at some point I figured I look better without.

[@rebekkakhigson]

Hi there, if you have more oily skin, have you tried the Quinoa Water Foundation by Ere Perez? The shade range is...eh...not good. But if there is a shade, then I really love it because it is so light. And wears really well. You only have to get used to the application, I always use fingers on small areas at a time :)

[@rebekkakhigson]

Another super helpful review, thank you! For what it’s worth, my 41 year old skin is way too dry to ever apply with a brush. I tend to apply everything with my hands and blend with a sponge. Curious if you’ve tried the Pat McGrath Foundation (I adore) but I am new and have to play catch up. 🙃♥️

I do like this skin tint, though I do think the shades are tricky. I'm 120 in the foundation, and shade 1 is slightly too fair for me. I was surprised at how well it held up and didn't transfer on my mask when I wore it out (I have dry skin). How this works on your skin (that pothole kinda look) is exactly how the rare beauty foundation and concealer act on my skin!

[@susanchaney5059]

This one did NOT work for me either, had to return it. I have large pores, texture, lines, etc. and my favourite is Charlotte Tilbury Unisex. It gives a bit of color, melts great into my skin.

The result you got reminds me of how the Rare beauty foundation ends up on me (super liquidy/serumy and interestingly also supposed to be a more matte/satin finish). It also clings to pores I did not know existed and peach fuzz. The only way I get it to work is when I prep with face oil and even then its not my fav. I have dry skin but no visible dry patches and am really good with moisturizing. Anyways clearly this will not work for me so thank you.

[@ginnyburley9552]

Some base products just don’t work. I have always had extremely dry skin so don’t struggle with particularly large pores, but some foundations look horrible on me. The popular Armani Luminous whatever foundation that is dearly loved by so many creates a troublesome polka dot pores situation on me no matter how I apply it. I don’t have much patience for finicky makeup products either. I don’t want to work hard getting stuff on.

[@TalithaTheHun]

I have combo skin (dry perimeter, oily center). I’ve found it blends and sits best for me when there is nothing too moist under it (doesn’t play as well with a lot of skincare or primers)- It’s very long lasting for me and holds my oil in better than almost anything else I’ve tried. It also settles into lines and then stubbornly stays put, so I avoid putting it around my nose/mouth/between eyebrows if I don’t want to deal with that. With this type of formula I use a beauty sponge for best result or fingers (Circular motions are bad if fingers, needs to be “smoothed” on quickly and tapped out or the pigment will cling onto texture), and apply it on my cheeks, chin and forehead in a light layer, set with a light layer of Mac powder foundation and a Elf HD powder in larger pore areas or areas with lines. It has a beautiful finish on majority of the skin, and wears better under a mask without rubbing off than anything I’ve tried. Definitely emphasizes dry crustiness (I have that on sides of my nose for example, so I don’t put it there.) I do overall really like it for its longevity (when set at least), finish, and mask friendliness. I just have to be aware of where not to put it, and use other things like powder or concealer if I need coverage in those areas or on blemishes. It’s very quick to apply and shortened my makeup routine, even with that. I like that it is the sheer “no-makeup” foundation for those with more combo/oily skin, because the very moisturizing ones almost never work for me. Note> I live in a dry semi arid climate which may be a factor also.

[@EE-zw8iv]

yes, MAC, Maybelline, and MUFE all had good shade ranges pre-Fenty, but I do think it's undeniable how much Fenty's launch influenced the makeup world in making inclusivity the standard, not the exception. As a very pale person like Hannah, I had very few foundation options before Fenty (especially at the drugstore), but I have so many more in the years following Fenty and it's been amazing. I know the problem was even worse for women on the opposite side of the spectrum with deep complexions that historically were left out by many brands.
