LORAC PRO SOFT FOCUS LONGWEAR FOUNDATION | Dry Skin Review & Wear Test

[@reneklein6049]

Love your glasses!!! The foundation is gorgeous. It's a winner. You are glowing. ❤🥰

[@ambergerhelper7852]

I really like Lorac. They’re so underrated. I’ve never seen them sponsor big KZbinrs (to my knowledge); I wonder if that’s why they’re not as popular. Love the glasses! 🥰

[@lovemyrainydays]

I wonder if they're happy to keep "small" - they're not worldwide after all. Certainly here in Australia their stuff's impossible to get (the US retailers won't ship internationally and no local stockists -well there's one website but the range is soooo very limited -as in the occasional palette - that I wonder if it's genuine Lorac ).

[@goow]

They're totally underrated! If they had some more wild color schemes I'd go so far as to say they're my favorite eyeshadows. But they stay a little too tame for me to make them my #1. But I love their formula. I love their lip glosses too. I always thought they were "bigger" than they are. They seem more like an indie brand, which somehow makes me like them even more.

[@sammylove14]

I love how you’re showing the texture of your skin close up. It’s so helpful as that is my biggest concern when buying a foundation. It looks absolutely radiant on you!

[@lauraj.5426]

i love the glasses Shelley!! Really flattering. I also really appreciate that you speak clearly (w/o catch phrases) and seem like a nice person. Thank you for your content!

Thanks, Laura!

Geek Out of Water Where did you get the glasses? I’m trying to decide between glasses and contacts.

[@gbtink]

Lorac has the most underrated eyeshadow, they’re so good. But this foundation looks REALLY good! I may have to try this one...

[@goow]

Lorac shadows would definitely come with me if I was stranded on an island with only my makeup. They're one of my all time favorite formulas. So reliable!

[@justrose6978]

Loving those glasses on you! It definitely is a gorgeous foundation even if it doesn't stay true to matte. Lorac is a very underrated or perhaps more accurately, a "forgotten" gem of a brand that needs more love.❤

I completely agree!!

I love the glasses 🤓 on you! I think they make ya look even more beautiful 🥰

[@goow]

I ordered 2 more pairs of Zenni glasses after I edited this video this afternoon :) I had to wear them today, too. The extra computer hours are killing my eyeballs! So I ordered one pair to match my Jeep and another in purple, which either matches my school colors at work, or might match my hair if I get the guts to try at-home bleach when it arrives and dye my hair purple again.... we will see lol.

[@Allfeisty]

LOVE the glasses! And may have to try this foundation after your review! 😊

[@goow]

Let me know if you do! lol in the middle of editing this video I went on Zenni and ordered 2 more pairs of glasses, one to match my Jeep and one purple, which, if I get enough guts, will match my hair after the at-home bleach kit arrives next week..... just when my hair got healthy again, here I go.... 😂

[@Allfeisty]

Geek Out of Water I just ordered through your link! My color (2) was sold out but it just came back. I’ll let you know how it works. Can’t wait to see the new glasses and the hair!

[@neenee_marie77]

I have dry skin and love full coverage. I might have to try this!

[@deborahjensen875]

I appreciate that you do check in throughout the day when trying a new product. That seems to be a good test, wearing it and most people put products on, say they are good and that's the last we hear. Thank you.

[@goow]

I like to do that mid-day check in both to see how it's holding up and because the studio lighting can make even the worst makeup look good (as it's meant to do). I don't use filters on my camera or videos but just the lighting can make things look more perfect at a distance. So outdoor lighting is a more realistic look. Up close, of course, nothing can hide, which is why I do the zoom in as well :)

[@deborahjensen875]

@@goow I'm glad you aren't afraid to show your face close up. It's a beautiful face and you are really providing a service in testing products. I check now to see if you've reviewed something before I buy it.

Your glasses look amazing!

[@darcey3696]

those glasses! I like them!

[@goow]

Thanks, Darcey! I just ordered 2 more pairs. These were from Zenni (as are the new ones I ordered today). The extra computer hours are killing my eyeballs! It probably doesn't help that I'm also playing doggone Animal Crossing on the Nintendo Switch like 2 hours a day............. 😂I got a pair of glasses to match my Jeep, and a pair that is purple... which either matches my school colors at work, or is going to match my hair if I get the guts to do at-home bleach. We'll see what happens when the supplies arrive!

[@darcey3696]

Geek Out of Water they are so affordable I’m gonna check it out 🤘🏼

[@francescareese7118]

I know I ALWAYS say this. However, this looks beautiful on you.... probably one of my favorites so far on you minus the Dior. Over 13 hours and still looked pretty darn good! Definitely a foundation for my list!

[@goow]

This one surprised me in a good way!

[@themerz6982]

Don't really think of Lorac when it comes to base products. This was fun to see. NICE! It does look pretty.

[@goow]

Right?! I immediately think eyeshadow.

[@jenns-b1977]

This foundation looks great! I like the glow, not greasy looking.

[@goow]

Same!!! Thanks, Jenny!

[@greenbeauties]

Lorac was very popular here in YT a few years ago (5-6) and then everyone stopped talking about it and focused on other new brands. It looks good on you this one 👍🏻👍🏻

[@KrystalHartley]

I LOVE your glasses!

[@alexandrasaadi7149]

When this came out and I read the description, it sounded a little to matte for my dry skin. I’m kinda blown away by how beautiful and dewy it looked on your skin! This one’s going on my list. Thanks💜

[@goow]

I almost didn't buy it when they described it as matte! It seems like that description isn't quite right, at least not for how it wears on me.

[@Ouisel]

I LOVE your glasses!! You look great in them! :-)

[@mimiberry123]

I love how this foundation set on you. So glowy beautiful.

[@janfromseattle]

Shelly, you look great! Please don’t apologize for the glasses. I love them! I love your modified cat-eye lenses. I have the Silhouette cat-eye glasses that are frameless. They are so beautiful. This foundation is wonderful on you. I will have to try it out. Stay well! 🐈🐾🐾

[@goow]

Thanks, Jan!! I had to wear my glasses again today because all of this computer work is killing my eyes! I have to work on the computer a lot as it is, but when all communication is also through the screen, it sure adds up! I ordered 2 new pairs of glasses from Zenni today - one to match my Jeep and one to match my purple hair, if I get the guts to bleach it myself when the supplies arrive.... eeeek!

[@janfromseattle]

Girl, you’ve got style! Matching your glasses to your new Jeep put a huge smile on my face! Now THAT is the pinnacle of cool. I want to see a photo when it happens! You could rock purple hair too! 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@leahmiranda8359]

Hi Shelly! I've never tried foundation from Lorac. I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it looked, and how beautifully it wore! You have a winner there! Thank you for always being here for us. Stay safe and well ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@goow]

I almost didn't buy it because it said it's matte! I hope they realize how words like that impact people's purchase decisions. I wouldn't have bought it for myself if I didn't have a channel to review it for, based on the description. I'd have missed out on a new love! I hope you're staying well, Leah!

I may try this one - thanks for the review 👍

[@juliejohns9361]

[@mmmbroccolini2186]

Yay, I bought this and haven't had a chance to put it in rotation yet. I'm very impressed that it lasted all day and I agree that the final hours "glow" looks beautiful

Gotta love a foundation that looks even better as the day goes on!

Hi Shelly, im so glad you kept this tank top from DIA and co ,it was my favorite,love your glasses, much cooler than mine,love your review😊

[@goow]

Yep I'm enjoying this top even more than I thought I would! It's a very comfortable cut! I need to see if they have any more color variations of it :)

[@dionline88]

While I don't have dry skin, this foundation looked SO good on you I may be putting this on my Ulta list. I think that shade would work well for me, too. It was perfect for you! Happy weekend, girl!!!

[@goow]

Thanks, Diane!! TGIF!

[@juliedaly2317]

I think this looks like the best color match I’ve seen on you. I really like this, and it is not matte.

[@ChrissieSM]

Your eye makeup is beautiful,. really suits you.

[@ashcraft555]

I love the glasses (and I'd love a video of any tips you've got on how to make eye makeup look great with glasses. I wear mine every day and I feel like a lot of the time my eye look is fabulous right up until I put them on.)

[@goow]

I don't do my eye makeup any differently for glasses other than I usually go for one extreme or the other - either a really bold eye look so it is noticeable beyond the glasses frames drawing the attention, or a barely-there look so the glasses are the focus (when I'm wearing a pair that is more of a fashion pair).

[@pinkbutterflies1679]

Beautiful foundation, looks gorgeous on you. Love the coverage. I’m excited. 😁

[@Justquitthebs]

Glasses look pretty darn good as well! 👍🏻

[@goow]

Thanks! 😁 I ordered 2 more pairs of glasses from Zenni after I edited this video yesterday, because all of the extra computer time working from home is freaking out my eyeballs!

[@JenniferHRoss]

Well, this is a definite contender for new foundation. It looks great. Now I just have to figure out where I can order it.... Thanks as always for the video, particularly staying up until almost 2 AM to film the final thoughts.

[@goow]

[@helpfulnatural]

Yesterday my foundation told me I was lapsing with my skincare. :-/ Need to do a mask and/or exfoliation ASAP! That has some decent coverage and the shade looks very nice. It doesn't really look matte from this side. Love your glasses! They match your hair color! :) Wow! 7-1/2 hour conference call.....that's a true acid test for a foundation. :D With the foundations I have that aren't transfer proof, I use pressed powder and a sponge to press it onto the sides of my nose as I wear glasses all the time. It does help to a degree. Agree on the Lorac eyeshadows, love them too! Stay safe, stay healthy! :)

[@goow]

I ordered a couple new pairs of glasses the day I edited this video so I'm probably going to rotate in a few more glasses days to give my eyes a break with all the extra computer time! I'll try that powder trick!

Cute glasses! Do you have any tips for those of us that that don’t wear contacts? Glad this foundation is a winner after some of the duds you’ve had.

[@goow]

I've never found a solution that works for getting glasses-marks on my nose in foundation. But when I'm wearing my glasses, I can't NOT wear them, so nobody would ever see the marks. Of all of the foundations I've ever tried, only 2 stay put and don't get destroyed with glasses (usually tested with me wearing sunglasses) - MAC Studio Fix Fluid and a recent one, the Clarins Everlasting foundation.

[@janiehernandez5724]

[@215pcb]

This foundation looks amazing on you it looks the perfect shade! I’m going to have to get this one! I’m loving the VDL primer and Foundation. I hate that it didn’t work for you. It’s crazy how different products do not work for certain people. I also have dry skin and I’m 33.

[@goow]

Hi Paige! Since that VDL review I tried it with the primer mixed into the foundation and it wore a little bit better that way. Body chemistry and how it impacts makeup is definitely fascinating (and frustrating lol).

[@215pcb]

Geek Out of Water awesome I am glad you found a way to make both primer and foundation work for you so atleast it’s not a total loss

Geek Out of Water heck yea!!!! I’m glad it worked for you I am still in love with both the primer and foundation!

[@lovemyrainydays]

Wow. The colour of this is gorgeous, the finish lovely and performance great. Bugger!!!! I was so hoping this was gonna be just awful - Lorac is one of those brands near impossible for us to get our hands on (nobody ships it internationally that I've found) and the one website here that stocks the occasional palette - well because of the super limited range, I often wonder if they're actually genuine Lorac.

[@goow]

I always thought Lorac was a "major" brand but they operate a lot more like a smaller indie brand. They must've done good marketing to give me the "big name" impression =D

[@RhondaBlanchard]

That is a great foundation!! Looks terrific!💕 it’s about that time for me- to invest in a new foundation. It’s so hard to pick just one!

[@goow]

I have literally 200 foundations so I don't have just one favorite - I have favorites in each type of foundation 😂 favorite light coverage, medium coverage, full coverage, light coverage dewy, full coverage dewy, light coverage matte, full coverage matte, etc lol. Right now I've been preferring a dewy finish and the most frequent in my rotation at the moment when I'm not testing new ones is the L'Oreal Age Perfect Radiant, Dior Forever Skin Glow, PUR Love Your Selfie, By Terry Anti-Wrinkle Densiliss, Estee Lauder Futurist, and Make Up For Ever Reboot. The only ones of these I've had long enough to know they hold up in heat are the Dior and the PUR, so I still need to wear the others in summer weather to see how they do.

[@brandonnelliebaldwin1792]

Question for anyone out there. What is your favorite serum like foundation. I’m currently using the catrice hd foundation and I love how thin it is but color match is not good for my fair skin. This looks beautiful on you Shelly! Maybe I’ll give this one a try...Thanks and stay healthy everyone

[@goow]

If you're sticking drugstore, check out the new L'Oreal Age Perfect Radiant. It can wear light-coverage very nicely. Higher end I really enjoy the Ilia True Skin Serum Foundation, and the Clarins Skin Illusion. Nyx Born to Glow is another nice one that is lightweight.

[@brandonnelliebaldwin1792]

Geek Out of Water thank you for your reply. I have a mixture of drugstore and high end. I’m going to look back on your reviews for the products you suggested. Thank you again! The ilia one sounds really nice and with Sephora sale going on it might be a good time to try it!

Would you recommend the ND lip for the Sephora sale? I’ve been big on “my lips but better” shades lately and my current love is from Lilah B - the luxe lip mini duo. You look gorgeous!

Thanks, Jenn! I tried to order the other 2 shades of the ND gloss balm today in the sale, and the coral one sold out, but I did get the nude one. Then just now I was on Sephora making links for the info box on a video, and it looks like the coral one is back in stock! Oy. I hope she puts out more shades because I love the formula! I think the PMG site has a sale going on right now too if you're looking at the Blitz Astral quads. I ordered the bundle of all of them right before she ran the sale, of course! :)

[@Brittany8832]

Shelly how does that priming moisturizer work with foundations that have silicone?

[@goow]

The Good Molecules primer does a really good job with makeup wear. Just about all of my foundations contain silicone and it's been a universally agreeable primer for me. Of course, I'm sure some people will be preferring to use it with non-silicone foundations, if they're avoiding silicone, but I don't have many non-silicone foundations.

[@Brittany8832]

Hi Carmen! One of my favorite primers ever is made to blur lines. I use it to blur my smile lines mostly but it works on all of them - the StriVectin Line BlurFector primer. It goes on sale pretty regularly on the StriVectin web site and Ulta carries it too. I've used it in probably a hundred of my foundation reviews. (Most recently I've been using a different primer but I've always got the StriVectin on hand!) It's $39 regular price but I'd suggest waiting for a sale on either Ulta or the StriVectin site if you're considering it. go.magik.ly/ml/w08z/
