I would love more videos like these. They are still comprehensive reviews about new-ish and popular products and I'm in the market right now. They're just practical and helpful for some of us when our foundations randomly stop existing or working haha Great work as always!

[@bobbiewilliams5101]

Jess, at 72 years young, I truly appreciate your reviews and honest comparisons. I would love to see same format for cream/stick blushes and maybe even old school lipsticks ( matte vs satin, etc.)Love your channel, whether it’s makeup, book reviews, your life videos, variety and openness . Thank you for all you do for your very varried community.❤🌻

I live in East Texas- last summer was one of our hottest ever recorded and I was full term pregnant. I work in marketing where I’m in and out of my car all day- the Maybelline SuperStay never dripped, came off with sweat… it stayed so well!

[@PWatts-ff2fd]

Good to know! Thank you for sharing your experience. I live in Phoenix, Arizona, so I have a hard time planning what to wear when I travel during the summer to places with high humidity. I might be going to New Orleans in August, so I definitely need a high heat, high humidity foundation. At the age of 62, I still have some hot flashes, as well, so that doesn't help. It's not as bad as being pregnant, because the hot flashes come and go, but it can still be very unpleasant.

[@maryd253]

I agree with the Super Stay. I love it.

[@stephanied9629]

Did you set with powder?

[@funsizedi88]

​@@PWatts-ff2fdI live in the high humidity of the mid Atlantic and im just starting peri/pre whatever menopause at 35 due to a hormonal coniditon. The freaking hot flashes are just no joke an I've got hormonal acne on my jawline/under my chin worse than my teens. So, I've been looking into makeup that's good for sweat resistance, high humidity and mature skin(even tho I'm not having that particular issue just yet). Any recommendations for hot flashes? I don't have a mother to ask unfortunately.

With Walgreens now carrying Makeup Revolution, I'd love to see reviews of the "second tier" drugstore brands, like Makeup Revolution, Joah, Flower, Almay, etc., especially for their foundations and concealers.

[@nomanejane5766]

Im almost 40 and havenever bought almay products... dont know anyone who wears them

[@makeupgrl24]

I freaking love that Maybelline Skin Tint! I went from being a full coverage matte foundation girl (revlon colorstay and estee lauder double wear), to the skin tint and my make up and skin looks soooo much better having a lighter coverage. I jsut wish more brands had more neutral/yellow tones. However as much as I love Ulta, buying drugstore items there is a no go for me, the prices are $3-5 more than at other stores.

[@c8creates]

I feel like the maybelline has just as much coverage as double wear and I want a lighter coverage. The wear time in it is amazing and wish my other skin tints lasted the way it does

[@makeupgrl24]

@@c8creates I definitely think you can get full coverage out of it, but I don’t even use a full dropper for my whole face and it looks great, my skin but better. And the slight glow helps it too! Maybe try to mix some with your SPF and see if you can get it lighter

[@KarenWilliams-hk4ee]

My local grocery store😅 carries a great variety of these at good price! ULTA. Is ano go for me as well.

[@danc6436]

Ulta offers coupons and has great sales, plus you earn bonus rewards. I buy from them because you can try the makeup and return it if you don't like it. Makeup is too expensive to be stuck with something that doesn't work.

[@charlottelast2278]

For years I have been using wet n wild photo focus dewy foundation and their tinted hydrator….I love the finish and wear time, and for the price everything else can kiss my butt

[@mickininaj5068]

One of my favorites is the wet n wild tinted hydrator!

[@courtneynichole6460]

I just had this green on my nails, best spring/summer color! 💚😍 I’m not usually a maybelline girl, but this skin tint is my go to. It’s so light weight, great coverage, doesn’t look heavy, & great for humid Florida weather! Even covers up my acne scars really well. Don’t even need to set the makeup.

[@cararichman1729]

Oooh, i'm in Florida so I may need to try it. It's been BAD heat and humidity wise; I wasn't ready for it so soon haha

[@laurajohnson7836]

I love it too😊

[@lorrilewis2178]

Yeah, it works for me too. I tried the reformulated version after a makeup artist said it was the best overall foundation at the drug store.

[@sarrrahnicoleee]

The way you described the true match is exactly how I feel about the super stay skin tint. So funny how different we experience foundations

[@actinglikeseals]

Superstay and True Match are my go-tos. They’re both so beautiful!

[@jackiestone5808]

These types of videos are SO helpful thanks! More please!

[@ProfMary]

Good ranking video, Jessica! I totally agree with your #1 pick, The Loreal Age Perfect foundation is my fav of the drugstore and I am 73 with dry skin. Jen Phelps recommended Wet n Wild Photofocus stick foundation for a solid, easy for travel. It applies easily and blends easily and gives good coverage. You and I have similar skin tones and I use Soft Beige but could probably go one step darker. You might want to check that out. I would be interested in your opinion of it compared to the Age Perfect.

[@karenobrodovich7297]

I love this type of comparing 5 video - it's not overwhelming and I really enjoyed this. I would love to see highlighters at the drugstore :)

[@marissaverdin6181]

Yes to more videos like these! Blushes, eye shadow pallets, spf, makeup removers (balms vs oils), mascaras, etc!

[@kristiturner1102]

I’d love a series on powder foundation! Can be a combo of high end and drugstore, but you’ve got me wanting to try a powder foundation lately. I just don’t know which I want to start with.

[@cassandraanderson3314]

I second this ❤

[@ivettemartinez-sx9hq]

I’ve been using L’Oréal infallible 24 hour fresh wear foundation in a powder and love it, I started using it for travel so it would be less liquid since we only go with carryon.

I just tried the reformulated CoverGirl Clean foundation and it was soooo good! It's an exact color match for me, and disappears on my skin in the best way. It really does just look like my skin, but much more even and gives some decent coverage.

I love this style of video - comprehensive break down and comparison of a few popular offerings in one product category. I have combination oily skin with textured patches and some signs of aging (35 years old), and my top two foundations are the Physicians Formula Butter Believe It foundation and the Essence Pretty Natural foundation. PF is amazing buildable medium-full coverage, and the Essence is my go to for light-medium coverage. My biggest priorities are that my foundation looks skin-like and is transfer/crease/humidity resistant. I loved the No 7 Stay Perfect foundation once upon a time, but I am a pale princess year round and Calico (lightest shade) was too dark on me even in the summer. Taylor Wynn has great videos on the PF and Essence foundations, and I know Jessie loves her channel too. ❤

[@arieltutko1]

I mix the True Match and the Maybeline one together for the best final look! I know you don’t love to mix foundations but give it a shot before decluttering!

Hi Jessica, I agree. I already use #1 and #2, I’m 79 years old and they work well for me. I purchased the new rave reviewed Korean TIRTIR and have used it nonstop for about two weeks. Good color match, good coverage, but today I went back to my #2. Just feel on my skin was so much more comfortable. I used to watch you some years back, but life got on the way. So much to do.

I love the Maybelline one. It’s in my top 3 foundations along with Estée Lauder Double Wear and Estée Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue. I bought a pump for it on Amazon.

[@candacechavigne5560]

I love videos like this! Makeup has gotten so expensive, even at the drugstore, so it helps to know what’s good and what isn’t. (Especially since it sounds like we have the same skin type or close.) Your lips always look so nice! This is an area of makeup I feel like I’ve never gotten down. Because of this I usually stick to a quick gloss or even just a lipliner and balm situation. I’d love to see you do a lip version of this. You could even parlay it into a series based on types (actual lipstick vs something more sheer for those of us into something that feels a bit lighter).

This was very helpful, thanks Jessica. I have used and love 2 of these 5, actually thanks to you - Restore & Renew, and the Loreal Serum foundation.

(I have a foundation addiction problem....on the hunt for the perfect foundation.)

[@jenfarina1892]

Wow, loreal True Match is my current go to! I never tried any other iterations of it but I've been really liking it!

[@melissakessler77]

I prefer the L’Oreal True Match Nude formula (in the dropper packaging, although I ordered a pump on Amazon) to the traditional ‘True Match.’ Definitely worked better for me, even though it contains alcohol.

[@katiehamblin7560]

L’Oréal Radiance is my favorite favorite. You turned me onto it a while ago and it just looks soooo good as my skin changes as a 35 year old. It’s sooo good

[@rchlhcr]

The loreal age perfect is what I wore to give birth (unmedicated, water birth!) 3 weeks ago. It doesn't last forever but fades very gracefully in my opinion, which was my main criterion in a foundation for labor. Highly recommend that foundation :)

Honestly drugstore foundations are my favorite. I have tried to venture into Sephora options but I always come back to these because they honestly feel more skinlike. I also have the Super Stay and Age Perfect as my top two, but I'm shocked you don't like the true match! I've been using it since high school, but I haven't tried the new bottle so it's possibly a new formula - mine is still in a pumpless bottle. I don't often comment on videos but I feel passionate about these reviews, no need to spend $50 on foundation!
