MAKEUP by MARIO SURREALSKIN FOUNDATION | DETAILED REVIEW, WEAR TEST, vs HAUS LABS,CHANTECAILLE

[@celesteg881]

I’ve had this about a week and I actually LOVE it! We’ve had crazy weather here, from 34° to 83° within a few days and it held up in all temps! When the humidity hit I used a blurring primer and that helped it stick! I use a brush to apply and then go over it with a sponge lightly. I set it with a light powder and it literally lasts 6 plus hours. I am so surprised by this foundation. It has eclipsed my No1 Chanel, Nars Light Reflecting and Haus Labs. I got 5N and do not see any shimmer or visible mica when on my skin. I keep waiting for it to do something that I don’t like and so far, nothing. Maybe I’m not the norm compared to others who’ve tried it. I agree lighter layers work best after skin care sets in. I’m 49 and it doesn’t bunch up, doesn’t highlight texture or fine lines on me.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

That's amazinggg! Yay

[@heathermariehouston3085]

So glad to hear that! Waiting for mine to arrive in 5N also and I'm just around your age! Yay i was worried

[@celesteg881]

@@heathermariehouston3085 I hope it works out! If you remember to come back w an update!

[@thecaitycat]

I have combo/oily skin and I love how this wears on me (shout out from a fellow New Englander). I also wear the shade 2N. I prep my skin with the Elf Putty pore-filling primer around my nose and cheeks, and then my Skindinavia oil control primer spray. One pump with a makeup sponge is all I need to cover my whole face and blend down my neck. This wears really nicely throughout my work day in a non-air conditioned building. I'm impressed with how it does on my nose, which is also my problem area. So for my fellow combo/oily folks, try it out with the right skin prep, because it looks beautiful on us!

[@antonialu8958]

What an in-depth review! Love the fact that you wore it for a week before the review. That’s what we need, we need to know whether a foundation is good for real but not just first impression. First impression can change anytime after a day😅 I was very intrigued by this foundation, but I didn’t dare to purchase it before seeing your review 😅 Now, you’ve helped me making my mind, I think I’ll just stick to my HAUS Lab 😊 Thank you, this is a fantastic review and extremely helpful.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

I'm so glad it was helpful! I told myself I won't do any first impressions for foundation or concealer. I feel like it's not fair to the brand or the person who is stopping by to see my one review

[@melodybell683]

I love this foundation. It is dewy but not too dewy which mimics a more natural skin look. Also I am biracial and have mature skin and I use Chantecaille Future Skin, Tom Ford and Chanel Sublimage and this color, look and feel works perfectly for me. I think as we age less is more in general and is just more appealing and this fits the bill for an every day look.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Yes absolutely. I find that I am using so much less than years ago!

[@leazettegreen4625]

I bought it and so far I really like it. I’ve had it about 2 weeks now. I’m 58 yrs old and have normal skin. Thank you . Great review

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thanks for sharing! Excited that you like it

[@tarski7420]

Excellent excellent review, love the way you did this from beginning to end. Love that you wore it for a week before sharing your thoughts, and that you showed us the wear test throughout the day nice and close, good lighting,…and love the comparisons to other foundations at the end. Probably one of the best foundation reviews I’ve watched. Thank you so much!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

I am so glad! 😃Thank you for your feedback!! 💕💕

[@tonyamedeiros2034]

You always do such thorough reviews and don't get caught up in the hype of the new product. Another great and informative video, thank you!!

I appreciate that! Thank you!

Hello Sofia! So happy that i finally found a shade twin! Love your videos, which are very helpful and informative for us fair/ light girls!

[@kimalexander362]

I love love love this foundation!!! I’m a 54 year old grandmother with extremely dry skin and it’s working for me beautifully. I do have to give it a little attention after 6 to 8 hours but I live on the Mississippi gulf coast and we deal with high humidity year around.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing with us

[@laurenfalzone3739]

I had the same experience as you! I ended up returning it because it came off my nose so fast which drives me crazy because my nose is naturally red so it sticks out lol I will stick with my Haus labs that lasts all day!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

I'm glad you found love in the Haus Labs! I really like that one also

[@idaliahernandez1824]

Thanks for the review Sofia! I’ve been binge watching review videos on this foundation because every single person has a different opinion about it. I love the chantecaille foundation so I’ll just stick with it!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

You're welcome! Yes if you have the Chantecaille and it works well for you, no need to spend more money!

[@gabeluvsmakeup]

I loved your review! It’s so thorough. I will say I loved this in the video I did but the more I wear it…I don’t. It makes me feel dry and at a point in the day greasy. And I’m very dry. It also makes me splotchy and my skin isn’t loving it at all. I’ve wore it a few days and I don’t get any compliments on my skin either. Which usually I do with most foundations. I’m glad I just got samples. I’m not a fan unfortunately. I love hearing others thoughts on it though. So glad it worked for you, in ways😘💕love you my sweet friend🤗

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Phew I am glad you got the samples! That is probs what I will do next time also. I like it as an everyday foundation but not going to wear it for long days on the weekends

[@pinkabuki]

I used to buy so many foundations, since the pandemic I realized that concealer was a better choice for me because I wear a mask at work all day, most of my face is covered and it was all rubbing off and feeling sticky/greasy. Also because I am so fair I get a better match with concealers since they run lighter. I prefer higher coverage and concealers give me that instead, smaller packages and less money in the long run because I actually go through bottles. My go-to concealer is the rare beauty. The last foundation release that I got was the nars light reflecting, since then I've gone off foundation. I still appreciate the review of course!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Nice! I haven't tried the rare beauty one yet. My family members work in medicine and have the same situation. My sister just does her eyes and skips the foundation

[@heathermariehouston3085]

So far it sounds good. I don't have oily, dry, or combo skin. It's pretty normal. Plus I live in Florida. Nothing really textured either. So far my love is Bobbi Brown Long wear

[@karendanzey8224]

I tried this foundation for the first time and I am a 230 and I love it and I didn't see the mica that people are talking about. So far I like it and I decluttered my Pat Mcgrath foundation because I like the feel of this foundation better. Also I really didn't care for her foundation because it's a soft matte. Great video btw.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thank you for sharing that Karen! That is awesome to hear. This one definitely has more of that moisturized feel to it

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Welcome!! Yay I’m so glad 😊

[@karlalaw9337]

I received a sample of Mario foundation and i love it! I am thrilled it has no alcohol or hyaluronic acid!! The Haus labs does contain those two ingredients and they ultimately really dry out my dry skin, but the Mario foundation is perfect for me! Thank you for your in depth review! ❤️

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Yay that’s awesome!

[@MzVicky]

I have normal to oily over 60 skin and this foundation did absolutely nothing for me. I did have trouble finding - shade and honestly I don’t think the one I ended up with was good. All seemed too neutral for me. I still l prefer the Haus Labs for my skin. Great review. Xoxo 😘

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thanks for watching and sharing! The Haus Labs is great. Sometimes I get tempted to try new things but then I remember I like what I have :)

[@MikiCarrBeauty]

I have oily, textured aging skin with rosacea and this was a really fussy foundation for me. I got shade 12 Olive, which is a tad too light. I have to really prep my skin beforehand with Tatcha silk canvas primer plus Sisley blurring powder, for it to work really well. Otherwise, it slides off my face, and looks terrible like an orange peel emphasizing my texture and rosacea bumps. It really is pretty when I get it to work, but it's a lot of effort for me compared to other holy grail foundations. Unfortunately, I tried sheering it out, and it looked bad with my texture. 😞 I think its a foundation people should try to see if it works for them! Great review Sofia!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@jocelynel-fab5214]

Hi Sofia! All the best for 2023. Thank you for reviewing this new foundation. Thanks as well for the recommendation to try a sample prior to purchasing it. I found it quite interesting that you recommend the Chantecaille Future skin foundation for dry skin because it’s oil-free (and also contains mica). Please let us know, with an update video, if your ranking of this foundation moves up or down.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Yes the Chantecaille is holy grail for me :)

[@nicholesmith4699]

Well, this video has sparked my interest in the Haus Labs! I’ll have to go watch your review on that one.

[@Aijingaling]

Hmmm very interesting. I’ve been testing this out as well and I can definitely see the sparkles! 🤣 loved watching this as usual 😍

[@Alaf_63]

I got a sample and thought it was just ok. I have normal to dry and live in a dry climate and I found it to be just ok. I didn’t really break down but it just wasn’t very perfecting after a few hours of wear. I tried a sample of the Haus Labs and it looked much better later on in the day, even if it was less luminous.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thank you for sharing your experience! Smart on getting a sample first to test out

[@michelleherrera8307]

Can you recommend any dupes for this exact shade? I love this foundation but it is pricey 😅

[@sandra.mendes279]

Hi lovely, happy that you did this review thank you so much for the comparisons it’s wonderful to hear your thoughts. Regarding to mica the shade and illuminate from tomford was my least happy purchased from 2022 because how glittery looks on my skin tone looks worse when I set it . But Giorgio Armani nera nude tinted moisturiser had mica and was fine . So far the reviews I seen in woman with my skin tone and deeper, the shimmer is not noticeable at all. Happy new year dear 🎉

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

That’s good to hear! I tried not to watch any reviews before I finished this so that I could remain unbiased. Now I’m checking them all out😂

[@karlalaw9337]

Hi ❤ could you tell me any other foundations that don't contain sodium hyaluronate- hyaluronate acid? That ingredient is drying my skin terribly. Love your videos ❤

[@janicecroissiert9116]

Great review on this foundation. Idk, for myself, as I have dry skin, and the Haus Labs, and NARS Reflecting, went on nicely, but then I felt dry an hr or so in. Same with Pat McGrath. The only foundation that doesn’t dry my out, so far is Chanel Sublimage (liquid) and Sephora Best Skin Ever foundation. 2 very different price points! Even the Armani Luminous is just so so on me. Sometimes it’s great, sometimes it drys me out. The CT Beautiful skin was really awful on me. Yep, must have been the hyaluronic acid in it. The Chantecaille future skin says oil free. I don’t think that will work either for me. I will try a sample of this anyway, next time I go to Sephora. Good thing we live in S. Fla now, 😊. Living up north would kill my skin now.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

The Chantecaille is oil free but oils are not the same as humectants. I find that it’s very soothing like skincare

[@dianaklets7899]

Which color do you use in Pat MacGrath foundation? Mario 2N is perfect for me as well

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Hi Diana! I use Light 6

[@nevertheless191]

Great review ! Very informative 😊 Since I try to limit my purchases it’s a pass for me.. I just perched the Sisley cushion foundation that I wanted to try ( so no need for another foundation.. )

So comprehensive. Thanks! Just restocked on my PML. The previous bottle was 3 y old 😂!

[@2030bhusak]

I'm dying to try this foundation! Stumbled upon it by accident and the reviews on yt look amazing! Like glass skin in a bottle!

[@Jen-if2it]

So, I don't own or use any foundations. I just use a tinted SPF, but some days it would be nice to have a little more coverage. I might try to get a sample of Haus labs or the Nars light reflecting foundation. I appreciate your in depth reviews. I was curious about this one.💜

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Yes you could definitely mix a little of those into your SPF!

[@Jen-if2it]

@@SofiaSeesBeauty I wouldn't mix the two products together. I have melasma so I don't want the protection from my SPF to be compromised, but If I can find a natural looking formula in a good shade match, I am hoping I can apply and blend just in certain areas (my redness prone cheeks) and hopefully it won't look funny 🤷🏼‍♀️. That's the theory anyway😊. Hope your Thursdays going great!!

[@anniecortes585]

I have tried the Mario and Haus. I love the Mario color match, but it transfers too much and I just wasn't impressed...I think its OK. Unfortunately I didn't find a match for the Haus...I went to sephora several times and kept trying shades, but none were great. I did try the samples and liked it a bit more than the aforementioned, but did not last long. I do have oily combo skin that gets a bit drier on the perimeters of my during the winter I'm 49

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Yes I know the Haus labs one is SO hard to match! The shades seem to run very yellow

How are we supposed to see how it look with the blur filter on? Why?

I am not using any filters in any of my videos. I am not sure what gave you that impression

[@raniarania9391]

@@SofiaSeesBeauty then its a terrible camera! Unless you tell me you have no pores, no texture, no fine lines and the skin is made of pure marble! I think many people have come to realise how fake this is and have stopped watching beauty KZbin and I think I'm heading there too. There is 0 difference visible on your skin before and after the foundation. If it's not your filter, it's your light or your camera.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

@@raniarania9391 Thanks for the feedback. As I mentioned I don't use any filters. I can see the difference clearly on my devices. I'll have to see if anyone else has similar feedback. In the future, I would ask that you structure your feedback in a more positive way. I am happy to improve my channel based on the feedback but accusing someone of using a filter and telling them they have a terrible camera is not very polite.

[@QueerBones]

I got shade a sample 12 O and it’s a great shade match, I could prob use 14 too. I’m glad I only got a sample though, I definitely prefer the Haus labs. I have normal skin with a little oil on my nose.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Yes for some reason that Haus Labs one lasts so nicely!

[@QueerBones]

@@SofiaSeesBeauty I think it’s the trimethicone. It’s what gives it its unique texture too.

[@yikaiwang446]

Nice testing video ❤ and I'd like to point out that the third place ingredient in this foundation, Coconut alkanes, is pretty much guaranteed to clog pores and break you if you are acne-prone. Thus I will recommend haus Labs& Nars more than this foundation.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thanks for bringing that up because I noticed that too when the product was first released at Sephora. I don't think it's guaranteed to cause break outs but I know some people have issues with coconut oil

[@lavayuki]

I don't really like this, too dewy for my liking. In terms of the new foundations, the NARS, Hourglass and Haus Labs look much better imo. Makeup by Mario isn't really a brand I go to, due to poor availability in the UK mostly. NARS are my favourite go-to brand for foundation as them (and Fenty) are the only brands where I can find a perfect skin match

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

I really want to try the Nars!
