Favorite Foundations for 50+ Older Dry Skin! Good & Bad & 1 HOLY GRAIL!

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Hi Kathy, I’m so happy you talked about skincare and how important it is for looking good, no matter what foundation you use. You are so genuine and have such a big heart and are so supportive of the over 50 beauty community.. Beth is very sweet and really has worked hard on her channel. I always learn something from her videos and she deserves credit for the work she does do. You do as well. I always get something from your videos and truly enjoy spending time with you every week. It is great to have a lot of followers if that happens, but like you, I have a channel because I love what so do. ❤️ Have a great week and look forward to seeing you soon. Sandra

Happy Easter Kathy. First I have to say that you look just lovely! Your hair looks just gorgeous! That’s a funny story about Donna’s channel name! I was so surprised to hear you mention me and my channel! The things you said were so kind!!!!! You are one of the truly great ones!!! You are beautiful inside and out!! I also liked all you great foundation tips. You know so much about makeup and your opinions carry a lot of weight with me. Thanks also for doing the collab with me! You and Donna were great to work with. Plus I value both of you and your friendship.💝💝💝

[@kathyabeauty]

FiftyPlusBeauty Thanks Beth! I learned a lot from you! 🐣

I recently discovered Beth’s channel/ 50+beauty! She is so delightful! I have really enjoyed binge watching all of her videos! Such great,informative content. I love your channel as well. At 66 years old it’s getting harder to find content that I can utilize with my more mature skin! Thank you for sharing 😊💕

[@kathyabeauty]

Hi DebbieAnn! You look fabulous! It is great to learn from each other. I also learn from Beth and other youtubers, but I get some great advice from you, the viewers as well. : ) My hubby is 66. : )

[@AllThatBeautyWithLori]

OoOo I am loving the background you have for the background, LOL Oh no Donna, it is crazy, I don't blame her for changing it then.I would like to try that Dermablend you shared, and I do love Bourjois so agree , they have some lovely foundations. Thanks for sharing, and have a wonderful week Kathy. xoxo

[@SharonCapehart]

Happy Easter my dear!! Looking amazing as always, blue just pops on ya! Great review, always luv chatting with ya! XOXO Sharon

[@bethhughes430]

Beth's channel is how I found your channel. Beth is a lovely woman. I enjoy the channels for more grownup subscribers because there's more interactions between everyone and no drama! Obviously the tips and products discussed are great because they are focused on where we are in our lives. I watch a wide variety of channels, but for actual advice for me I come to my grownup gals! "Trumpy ooppa loopa color "!!!! Loved it. .....laughed out loud! !!!!! I love, love, love Lancombe Teint Idole! It's my holy grail.

[@kathyabeauty]

hahaha I wondered if anyone would get that joke. : D Welcome Beth and glad you stopped by! xox

[@sandyj7917]

Always an amazing job. I almost bought the Bourjois on EBay, I recently tried their blush and loved it. I just may push that button I’ve been searching for a make up that’s doesn’t sink into fine lines and not $42... here we go again. Your reviews I love honest, not pushy and as you said there always can be another holy grail to find.

[@kathyabeauty]

I just tried the iT Cosmetics Illumination Foundation also...that one works really well too. Will be in my March Faves n Flops video. : )

[@laurieweinberger7821]

Great video, as always, Kathy!

[@karenkoutsoumbaris6308]

Thank you dear Kathy, happy Easter, looking great as always, I'm going to look into the dermablend now , oh dear how I love cosmetics.

[@junbug1029]

Hi Kathy, I don't have dry skin but it was fun to see what works. xoxo Joan

[@stelladollies]

Thank you Kathy! A few more items are going on my "to try" list ... hope you're having a fun Easter weekend! Smiles, Stella

[@kathyabeauty]

Hi Stella! Enabling, lol...hey have you tried the IT Cosmetics Illumination cc yet? I am loving it!

[@tinahilliker6496]

Happy Easter Kathy. You look really pretty, that blue blouse and background is very flattering.

[@kathyabeauty]

Thanks Tina! : ) xoxox

[@ingridnewell7345]

Such a great video Kathy, thank you❣

[@pandora_3314]

Happy Easter! I saw the Dermablend line at my local Shopper's Drug Mart last week but didn't look too closely at it, now I'll have to go back and check it out! Thanks for the video Kathy :)

[@kathyabeauty]

You will love the Creator drops. I also liked their camo concealer. : ) I did not care for their other foundations.

[@rebeccaw8872]

It's so interesting how products work so well for some, but not others. I have tried many foundations and could never find one that worked for me. So, for years I wore nothing or only BB creams. I gave PF's Healthy Foundation a try and so far it's the only foundation that works for me. I am 46, have dry to normal skin, and use either Becca or First Aid beauty face primer.

[@cathj8568]

I LOVE smashbox face primer!! I purchased Fenty primer since It was recommended in an earlier video. It did not work for me. Thanks for this video! LOVE the lipsticks you have recommended recently Cathy

[@carola3046]

Hi Kathy, I love the blue you have going on...surrounding you and your top...and the eyes...looks so amazing! The background is soothing...very relaxing...and complimenting, too. You made me laugh about the Nars...you wanted to "love it!" Me, too...and why? I don't know why I do that. Every once in a while, there will be something that I want to use...and can't. It has a good color selection, didn't oxidize, love the feel when it goes on...and then, BAM! It's horrible for aging, textured skin! You could count my pores! I kept trying and then decided if I have to keep trying with this primer and that oil...forget it! Right now, the Lancome Renergie Lift is my go to. My next...Two-Faced Peach Perfect Foundation. Sometimes I mix the two...and it's working. I, like you, am trying to simplify my stash. But, like you, I enjoy playing in makeup. I am a returner, too. If the product makes a claim and doesn't live up to it...it goes back. Let us know if you were able to return the Shiseido...I have that...haven't tried it yet. Saving it for summer. I enjoy Beth's channel...she is so pulled together...amazing...you can feel her energy. I don't know DonnaLIsa D...that's too funny about the name. I will visit. Blessings:D

[@kathyabeauty]

Hi Carl, YES Sephora let me return the Shiseido! : D I guess exchanging it for the IT Cosmetics Illumination CC was ok rather than a straight out return. : )

[@marilynfranks8995]

Such a helpful video Kathy! I am going to try the Dermablend drops. It is such a struggle to find a foundation that works for my combination skin and as always your videos come to the rescue. Btw, lovely makeup look.

[@kathyabeauty]

Thanks Marilyn & again thanks for your advice on my camera set up! xoxox

[@s.leayoung5456]

Hi Kathy, Happy Easter and great video !!! Take care and have a wonderful day!!!

[@kathyabeauty]

Thanks so much Sherry! xox

[@beautybeyond9420]

Hi Sweetheart, I am so happy to see you. I have no idea what’s happening, but your videos haven’t been coming through to my feed. I checked that I hadn’t been unsubscribed to you, because that has happened before, but I was still subscribed. I sometimes get confused to what is happening here.....Yes yes Skincare first and foremost ....I hope you are well my friend...Bella xxxxx👩🏼👒👩🏼👒👩🏼👒

[@LifestyleInHawaii808]

Good evening...yes I just turned 52 in March. Your videos are very informative for us mature gals. Yes Donna and Beth have great channels. My sister likes the shiseido B.B. cream. Sheer but a bit of a glow. Did nit work for me but it worked well for my sister. Yes to the Laura Mercier foundation but I have to make sure my skin is moisturized. Very informative for us mature gals. Stay fabulous and enjoy your weekend and Easter.

[@kathyabeauty]

Happy Easter Kathy! I agree with your statement about the importance of good skincare. Thanks for all the great information. Good luck at Sephora!

[@kathyabeauty]

Thanks Teresa! I returned the Shiseido! : D xox

[@annaw4387]

Loved your video, thanks. I learned a lot.

[@lindab6113]

You are so awesome, Kathy! Your style is your own, and I just love your videos. Beth and Donna are wonderful as well. I am a huge believer in eating right and supplements too 😘

[@kathyabeauty]

Linda Bilsbury Hi Linda, I wish I could practice what I preach in eating well...this darn sweet tooth!lol, I so appreciate you! 🌼🌸🤗

[@TheBakingDiva]

Hi Kathy.....well great minds think alike 😂😂 I purchased the DermaBlend foundation about 8 weeks ago and it has become one of my very favorites. It feels just like skin and you only need a small amount to give you great coverage 😊Doesn’t settle in fine lines either 😳 I have been trying to figure out why I haven’t heard many content creators in the Mature Beauty Community talking about it except you 🤔 If anyone out there is reading this listen to both me and Kathy and give it a try 👍 Thanks for another nice video......Happy Easter to you and Bud 🐰🐥💐 Hugs, Dolores

[@kathyabeauty]

The Baking Diva So cool Dolores!!! I've been behind with watching, but I noticed you had a pizzelle recipe video! Happy Holiday this week!

[@juliesmith8153]

Hey Kathy!! You always save me money & I appreciate it!!! We have the same type of skin so that's a big help!! I hope you have a happy Easter!!! Great video!!!!

[@kathyabeauty]

Carol perara Thanks Carol!!

[@sharonhardy7187]

I bought the Dermablend to mix with other foundations. I love it for that but I haven’t tried it alone. I will have to give it a try. Happy Easter, Kathy.

[@kathyabeauty]

sharon hardy Hi Sharon! Unlike the CoverFX, the Dermablend can be used alone. I use 4 drops. Covers my face and then 1 drop over any age spots or red patches. Then powder.🌸🌼🌷

[@sharonhardy7187]

Kathy Aay Beauty Thanks Kathy, I am going to try this. You say one drop for age spots. I think I might need an additional bottle for all of mine. I wanted to tell you I still pull out the Cinema Secret foundation from time to time. It’s a great foundation and I use the brush cleaner for quick and easy. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive. Take care.

[@anitasalcedo1576]

I am 58 yo and just start watching your channel and loving it.

[@debmelton6422]

Hi Kathy - new subbie here. I really liked this foundation review and tips. Looking forward to watching some of your older videos to catch up. I enjoyed this video! Deb :-)

[@shelleylemmond46]

Kathy you are beautiful in every video. Thank you for all your tips and tricks. At my age I need all tip's I can get 😆

[@palladio7476]

I absolutely love Bourjois especially the Healthy Skin Serum Gel Foundation. It is a mystery why we cant access this in stores in the US since Bourjois is the parent company for Chanel and we have access to Chanel. You are spot on about taking care of your skin from the inside. There are ingredients that have been proven to be efficacious for skin and body when taken orally as supplements but the efficacy of applying them topically is dubious at best. Co-Q10 is a prime example as are Omega-3's. Cheers Kathy!

[@kathyabeauty]

So right Palladio! I feel sorry for Tati introducing vitamins and getting slammed when she has a wonderful idea and inspiration. Beauty does begin on the inside. : )

[@palladio7476]

Kathy Aay Beauty. I certainly advocate supplementing your diet, most of us dont eat as well as we should in terms of nutrition, for their health as well as beauty. It is a good idea to get D3 and B12 levels checked once a year as we age. However, no one needs to or should spend $40.00 a month for Tati's product that has lower levels of vitamins and minerals than an inexpensive drugstore multi. Not to mention several ingredients that are questionable at best. Cheers, Kathy.

[@paigee8367]

Happy Easter! Even though I'm in my 30's, I have redness on my chin and under eye wrinkles that foundation can cling to. I appreciate hearing your reviews; I know I can always trust your opinion.

[@kathyabeauty]

Happy Easter Kathy....I usually just use the Missha BB cream....Love your background.You look so pretty wearing blue against that background..Love your hair...Hugs Loretta

[@kathyabeauty]

MrsLoretta Thanks Loretta! I've heard good things about the Misha. I may try it, tho I see a grey cast on folks who wear it. Maybe it's my imagination? 🌸

[@MrsLoretta]

Kathy you might be too light for the Missha..I wear the 21 and 23..I use very little..It has 50 sun protection...If does go on a little grey but in about 5 minutes it looks perfect on me...better than foundation for me...Can't see it on my skin..xoxo L

[@curvybeauty24]

That color blue looks beautiful on you!

Carrie Beth Thanks Carrie! It's one of my favorite colors. 🌸

[@tinalee161]

Do a demo on the Dermablend drops. Great video.

[@kathyabeauty]

Will do! Thanks for the idea! xox

[@HebaS]

Great video, Kathy! The NARS didn’t work well for me either, Laura Mercier and the PF worked well on mr. all the others I haven’t tried yet. Lol. Need to get working that. Especially the dermablend. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

Debbie Hill Hi Debbie! Thanks for mentioning that one. 🌸🌼🌷

[@kellyeradford9585]

Hi again Kathy. I can’t believe I called the It cosmetics Anti-aging Armour SPF 50+ Under Armour Spf!! How funny of me. And I got the color 25 N. I tried a drop on the back of my hand and rubbed it in and my skin felt so soft. It was amazing! I can’t wait to try them out on my face today. Do you think the drops need to be set with Dermablend powder like the directions say, or will any powder do? I wonder what is special about Dermablend powder if anything?

[@kathyabeauty]

Kellye Radford I never used the detmablend powder, so yes, any powder will do and only in the problem areas or very lightly. Shake the bottle, very important with that foundation.🌸🌼🌷

[@kellyeradford9585]

Hi Kathy and Happy Easter! I really enjoyed this video. You gave such great information about each foundation. I have dry skin too so the tips will really help. What is the name of the brand of brush you showed to blend in the Dermablend drops? I just got those in an order from Ulta but I haven’t tried them yet. I am going to mix them into the It Cosmetics Under Armour SPF. It’s a tip I learned from Elle Leary’s channel. I got shade N20. The Under Armour is really watery though so I hope it works alright.

[@kathyabeauty]

Kellye Radford Hi Kelly! I use almost all Real Techniques brushes. It was not intentional, I've had everything from expensive to cheap, but across the board, Real Techniques has the best assortment. The Face Expert brush is great for buffing in the foundation if you are not using a sponge. I also have a mechanical spinning brush that works well.🌸🌼

[@connienunez1806]

What is Sephora's new return policy?

[@kathyabeauty]

Connie Nunez Hi Connie! Sephora has hired a service that analyzes client purchases vs returns and they will begin banning returns from some clients, due to excessive activities. I may fall into that category, but I did manage to return the Shiseido BB with no problem yesterday.🌼🌷🌸

[@wendyonyoutube]

I used to have the Bourjois cc cream. Somehow I stopped using it. But it was nice! Even on oily skin. Happy Easter! Oxo, Wendy

[@Yogapazzo]

Curious to know Sephora’s new return policy!!

[@kathyabeauty]

Yogapazzo They hired a company that analyzes client activity, returns, purchases, and will begin banning the most active clients from returning. I may fall into that category, but they allowed me to return the Shiseido BB , cream yesterday. Don't know when it officially starts. 🌸

[@palladio7476]

Kathy Aay Ouch!!!

[@godhelptheinnocents7227]

Hi Kathy, how has the return policy at Sephora changed? Thank you for another great video. Also do you know if they have the Dermablend drops in the store at Ulta or do I have to order online? Happy Easter!

[@kathyabeauty]

sita Hi Sita! Sephora has hired a service that analyzes sales and returns of their clients and will begin banning returns by the worst offenders. I may fall into that category, but I did manage to still return that Shiseido BB Cream.🐣

[@kathyabeauty]

sita Oh, yes, it is IN store.👒

[@godhelptheinnocents7227]

Thank you, Kathy! I will try it. I always love your reccos. Happy Easter!

[@godhelptheinnocents7227]

Ok, thanks! Good to know. I might fall into that category, too! Did they announce this? Thank you.

[@donnastephenson3865]

Do find the samples are different than the full size products? Thanks

[@kathyabeauty]

Donna Stephenson Hi Donna! I think the stick foundations in samples Sephora sent out seem different than their stick versions,but because of the return policy, I am definitely going to get samples in there for any foundation in the future.🌷🌼🌸

[@coffeebeforemascara]

What shade do you have in that Cargo One Base? Happy Easter!

[@kathyabeauty]

CoffeeBeforeMascara hi there. I have the 01 in it. I think there are 3 colors. I was wrong on the size, it's actually much bigger. My smaller tube size is from an intro kit. Got it at Kohl's.

[@coffeebeforemascara]

Kathy Aay Beauty yes, the color range is quite limited. That's why I wanted to know which color you had. We have very similar skin tones and if the first color is too light for you and I'll go down one or up one however that works. Full size tube is on sale at Kohl's for $22. Its $28 at Ulta

[@sandrarivera9309]

i don’t think anyone with dry skin should use powder. For me it ruins my foundation. I will take glowing. 😁

[@kathyabeauty]

Sandra Rivera Hi Sandra, I agree to a point. I use powder on my chin and nose sides where my glasses hit, so it helps weardown. You are right it can take up a face faster than lightening! 🌷💄🌩
