I love your voice ❤ You could do a meditation or relaxation app 😊

[@neszgirl]

So many birds in the background 😁 so relaxing to listen to.

[@peony70]

I love that you don’t put music over your videos when doing makeup application. The peace and quiet and sounds of the birds is just what I need after a long day at work. Everything looks beautiful, my takeaway is that I need to put that CDP blush in cranberry in my shopping cart. Thanks for the great video!

[@TheHoodedLid]

Thank you so much Maria, and thanks for watching!

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

I don't mind some of the peaceful sounds or music..but some of the music some put behind is, as you say..very hard to tolerate.

[@melissahillegas6759]

“ I don’t mean this in a bad way, but it feels kind of greasy!” I absolutely understand what you mean, but it just gave me a chuckle! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@TamarasTimelessBeauty]

It looked super pretty on your skin...and the sweater you wore in the intro LOVE it!

[@TheHoodedLid]

It's actually a little cape! Falls just below the breasts - I found it while looking for my sequin sweater the other day - lol

[@kareena281]

You have wonderful skin!😊

[@unwindknitting]

Another fabulous foundation review. Thank you for your hard work on these reviews. They’re so helpful.

[@TheHoodedLid]

You are so welcome! Glad to know they're helpful!

[@mimimoon6082]

Happy International Women's Day beautiful Kiki! ❤️😘

[@TheHoodedLid]

Same to you!

[@juditcsefalvai2143]

Thank you for the detailed and realistic review, it is extremely helpful ❤

[@TheHoodedLid]

You are so welcome!

[@lisak7997]

Impressive water test. Foundation looks great! Thank you for sharing this video. I will definitely be purchasing this. ❤

[@TheHoodedLid]

Hope you love it!

[@wwfarmhouse9055]

Love the LM foundation on your skin - it really looks beautiful. I definitely want to try it. Thanks for all the effort you put into these 3 day wear tests with different sunscreens and different application techniques. 😊

[@TheHoodedLid]

You are so welcome!

[@deniselanglois6193]

Love the birds

[@blondebeauty995]

Looks so nice on you! Was afraid that it might be drying. Trying to figure out a foundation for some big events and your reviews are so helpful! Thank you Kiki!

[@TheHoodedLid]

You are so welcome!

[@wendy8561]

You are my go-to always I want this foundation so bad I think I'm going to go with the same color as you we are almost exactly the same I think it looks so beautiful on your skin I think it really really looks good on your skin The best I've seen in a long time because trust me I have a very hard time loving foundations and I love this on you Thank you for all you do your friend always Wendy 💜🙏

[@TheHoodedLid]

Thank you so much, Wendy. I'm happy to help and thanks for watching.

[@sudeshnahazra6224]

Thank you ...

[@marlavm]

Newer subscriber here. LM is a sleeper brand and I appreciate it more now that I've hit my late 50s. I think the foundation looks great on you -- day 3 especially rain and all. I enjoy the LM tinted moisturizer over her sunscreen primer. That plus YSL Touche Eclat to softly highlight is really nice for everyday. Thanks for the great videos

[@TheHoodedLid]

Thanks for the sub!

[@evabrunson8413]

A really excellent review, thank you… Eva from Worcester U.K.

[@TheHoodedLid]

You're welcome!

[@stracey1874]

Thanks for doing this review. This foundation was on my radar as the LM Flawless Lumiere Radiance foundation has been one of my go-tos for the past few years. That one is definitely radiant but long lasting on me as my skin produces very little oil. This one sounds a bit more natural looking and might be better for the summer. I was concerned it might be geared more to oily skin. I wish I could get a sample but the last time I asked, my Sephora store in Canada said they didn't provide samples. They used to.

[@TheHoodedLid]

I'm stunned Sephora in Canada doesn't provide samples!

[@elizabeths.4355]

It is a pretty foundation I've tried it, the sheen and the color is just right for you on my end but I'm personally not into a lot of sheen but day 1 looked very nice

[@TheHoodedLid]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@elizabeths.4355]

@TheHoodedLid All 3 days looked so very nice. I hope it works out for you

[@ChrissieSM]

Happy International women's day from the UK !

[@TheHoodedLid]

To you as well!

[@mariepaxton45]

U have amazing skin. I'm almost 50 and really struggling to figure out foundation that won't settle into the fine lines around my eyes while covering my dark circles. Do u think this foundation is acceptable for that? I really don't wear much makeup. Just trying to brighten up at work. Thanks for the time u put into reviewing this foundation ❤️

[@deniselanglois6193]

What color lipstick on day 3 - I just purchased Laura Mercier Vanille can’t wait to use it - also am buying The cranberry blush - have you ever tried the Fig blush? Why did you use 2 blushes on I think day 1 - also want to get Jones Road WTF & Blush 😢

[@reneegrace7965]

This and the Saie are "serum" foundations from what they say I have not tried one yet... maybe I should stick with what I know works for me Your look is beautful!

[@TheHoodedLid]

Sometimes I think brands just use that word to describe a thin texture...

[@andreaparker2069]

Just tried a sample of this foundation for the 1st time. I haven't used a LM fdtn in decades. I was impressed by the ingredient list - no alcohol, no fragrance, no propanediol or propylene glycol or algae, 3 known enemies of my normal 70+ skin. I prepped with my usual serums, moisturizer, SS and Sisley Double Tenseur primer. Shade 01N was a near perfect match on my neutral leaning golden very fair skin. I hate thick foundation or ones that have a total silicone feel so the texture was perfect. I got a pinch more coverage than my current liquid fdtn, Surratt Dew Drops. This is quite a bit cheaper than the Surratt and since the Dew Drops doesn't offer a perfect shade match for me, I was forced to mix 2 shades in that one. Now the only question is should I buy the LM now during the Sephora sale or wait until I run out of Dew Drops.

[@chantalpoulin9254]

Which would you say is currently your holy grail foundation or, say, your top 2?

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

Love 3 day tests! Very pretty skin-like finish. Your mention of aging skin around the mouth strikes a chord. I don’t have marionette lines yet at 64, but the texture is not smooth anymore. Foundation either separates or gathers in the texture no matter how much or little, or whether I use primer, powder or not. I always have to dab it out through the day. I don’t have that issue with concealer under the eyes but doubt concealer is the answer. Any tutorials you can offer to cope with this issue would be greatly appreciated!

[@TheHoodedLid]

I'm still trying to figure it out. The make up stays there and doesn't sink into the "gathers" but I find I don't want shine there because it calls attention. A bit of powder is very very helpful

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

@@TheHoodedLid - thanks. I’ll keep trying. Aging is: 1) a privilege 2) a test of vanity 3) really sucks 4) all of the above.

[@typical_snowflake]

the brids chipping is great

[@TheHoodedLid]

Glad you like them!!

[@karendykstra]

I tried a sample of Buff which was a little too dark for me. I think I will try Macadamia next because that is what comes up in the match finder. I used it over Laura Mercier Hydrating Primer because I thought that a primer was recommended. It looked nice throughout the day with just a touch of powder. I am 63 with slightly dry skin due to Tretinoin use.

[@TheHoodedLid]

If you like primer, there's no reason not to go that way.

[@theemmadog]

What powder do you like??

[@karendykstra]

@@theemmadog I like the Bare Minerals Veil and Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Finish.

[@elianitahenriksen5528]

What kind of skin do you have? Do you think it will be great for dry skin? (Sory for my bad english). 😊

[@momoftwogirlsinflorida9960]

It sounds like Lisa Eldridge seamless? Are they sisters? Love you to the moon Kiki!

[@TheHoodedLid]

Love you back! No, nothing like the LE which I found so difficult to work with. This is quite thin in comparison and the finish is different.

[@deniselanglois6193]

Thank you for all your videos - am 75 and have never worn foundation - my mom only used ponds Cold Cream til 103 yrs old . I have to ask how do you take this make up off - I wash my face and the white facecloth gets so full of makeup that does not come out even if you use bleach in the wash. Just ordered the Elemis face wash so hopefully that will do the trick - are there any other cream blushes you like better? I think cream blush is better for old skin that power blush ?…

[@TheHoodedLid]

I don't use a washcloth. Often, I'll start with a cotton pad and miscellar water, than wash with my hands. Sometimes, I'll do a first cleanse with a cleansing oil and follow up with another cleanser. But washcloths can be too aggressive and yes, impossible to clean!

[@deniselanglois6193]

@@TheHoodedLid thank you for responding I will try that

[@cristinraymond1785]

Hi! Just wondering how performance texture and longevity of this compares to Cle De Paeau Radiant foundation Natural? I’m torn between these two options. Help !

[@TheHoodedLid]

Do you mean the Radiant Cream Foundation from CdP? I prefer it for how it looks on the skin - but the color of this one is better for me and this one is VERY long-wearing. CdP wears a long time on me (as do most foundations) but I got a huge spray in the face from a hose - and this was still on!

[@anadanaya]

Hi, that foundation looks very similar to the Shiseido Synchro skin GLOW foundation. Do you know if the Laura Mercier has alcohol in it?

[@TheHoodedLid]

The texture is thinner than the SS foundation and it's not as glowly as the SS. No alcohol in the LM.

[@anadanaya]

@@TheHoodedLid The Glow version of the SS is a serum like texture (not as thick as the original) and is is in my opinion very skin like. I am enjoying and so far not drying on my skin, but it has alcohol in it so a long term use might start to dry out my skin. Thank you for the info :)

[@amandas8349]

what’s on your lip? great color, really brightens your face. would love to try it

[@TheHoodedLid]

The reddish color is a mix of three shades I couldn't make up my mind what I wanted. The other two days just a barely tinted balm.

[@deniselanglois6193]

I did not like the Jane iredale on my face

[@sherriabell5958]

You don’t look 60!!

[@TheHoodedLid]

Thanks, Sherri!

[@tinafern967]

Happy International Women's Day from Vienna! 🫶😘 Tried the Tom Ford Traceless Matte Concealer for the first time today - and you did not exaggerate, Kiki, it is LIFE CHANGING🤩

[@TheHoodedLid]

RIGHT??? Thanks to the folks at Tom Ford who developed this!
