MY UPDATED TOP 5 FAVORITE FOUNDATIONS!!

I always can't get over how perfect your natural skin is when I watch your videos.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I really appreciate that Lucy!

[@overcomingobstacles8675]

I know you do makeup, skin care, etc. but maybe one day can you do a clothing haul? Or in the description list your shirts you wear? They are always so cute

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Oh goodness....I have definitely never considered myself stylish, but I will definitely add that to my list as a possibility. xoxo

[@kathykit7629]

I bought myself the Jane Iredale liquid minerals and purepressed base compact with my Christmas gift certificates. I’m 70, and just in love with this stuff.

[@ataliemitchell3606]

I just bought both of those too anxiously awaiting their arrival. I’m 45 and use Retin-A so I can be dry some days, how does this stuff look on the wrinkles? Mandy doesn’t have any wrinkles and her skin is already perfect so I’m Praying these work for me.

[@kathykit7629]

@@ataliemitchell3606 I use Retin A also. The serum and mineral powder doesn’t settle or emphasize wrinkles which is the best part. I use my skin care and spf underneath with no problem.

Mandy, you have introduced me to the Jane Iredale liquid minerals, pressed base, and matte foundations. Using a combo of these has FINALLY gotten me a prefect finish for my changing 45-year-old face. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate you and your content!!❤

[@MandyDavisMUA]

This makes me so happy!! Thank you for letting me know!

I would also love to see more videos on Beauty Pies make up and skin care.❤

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Will do!

[@ndo355]

Thank you for sharing so many recommendations. My combination skin is making it hard to rely on one foundation product, plus new wrinkles are an added challenge haha. I'm realizing I might need to have a few different base products on stand-by to get me through different seasons and skin cycles. Some products of interest are quite expensive, so I really appreciate not only your recommendations but how you talk about techniques to help use the products well 🙏🏼

[@MandyDavisMUA]

You are so welcome. I do think it's beneficial to have a couple options ( or tons in my case; lol!) for the seasons and different skin. xoxo

[@Lucy-mf5gk]

The Jane foundation - what you are wearing in this video, looks amazing on you.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Thank you! It's been a fave for years!

[@loraoliver1516]

So fun and can’t wait to try some of these..esp Jane I. ☺️My current favs are CT Beautiful skin, Tom Ford stick, GA luminous silk and a discontinued TF liquid 😭. I’m 57, use retin-a so dry as a desert most days so always moisturize well.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Great faves Lora!

[@tysamichael9332]

Absolutely amazing top 5. Many of those I have purchased and loved because of your recommendations. You look beautiful as ever.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Thank you so much Tysa!

[@jmcg1029]

Always love your Top 5 series. I personally love the Lancôme Skin Feel so good. It’s kinda like the IT CC but I think it’s not as thick and I like shades better.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I tried that when it first launched, and for some reason it didn't love my skin. I need to revisit though because it's been quite a while. Thanks for the reminder!

[@parksbpknit]

I have been evaluating my stash of foundations and truly the one foundation for my 67 year old skin seems to be L'oreal serum foundation in light/med. It never collects in my pores (I have been using the elf gripping primer) and it does not give me polka dot pores at the end of the day. It looks so natural and after light powder stays set. Seriously thinking of throwing out all the others, of course you have made me think of some new options. Will see and great video!

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Yay Beth! So glad you found the best for your skin, and even better that it's so affordable!

[@pamelasale873]

I love the rose inc. tinted serum! ❤️

[@tarski7420]

Totally agree! Chantecaille Cushion foundation is my fave and most skin-like. And you’re the one who told me about it, so I have you to thank 🤗 Great roundup, thanks for all your recommendations! I also love the Chanel Ultra le Teint - and sometimes I mix a bit of the Beauty Blender Bounce Skin Tint in with it if I want it a little more lightweight and glowy. Love that combo :)

[@MandyDavisMUA]

So glad you love it too! I do love the Chanel le Teint, especially mixed with a liquid illuminator!

[@emilywells131]

Love this video! My list is almost the same, but truly I almost always wear the Future Skin, PurePressed, or some combo of the two!

Beautiful combo!!!

Fantastic video Mandy. Thanks so much for posting. Have a great day. Peace, Cal.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Thank you Cal!

[@katrinalee6475]

Oh I love the Chantecaille future skin gel foundation as well. I use that one and their tinted moisturizer for more light makeup days, for my more fuller coverage foundations I really like the Chanel ultra le teint or Charlotte Tilbury airbrush flawless foundation

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I do love the Chanel Le Teint too!

[@katiesjoyfullife]

Agree that the NARS Soft Matte is SO good, but is often misused, hence the bad rap. I have normal to oily skin & it looks gorgeous on my face. Great video Mandy!

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Glad you love it too Katie!

[@susanyakus7364]

I have tried the Chantecaille and I love it. I just can't always afford it. My newest favorite is Chanel Vitalumiere. It is light and gorgeous. Even my hairdresser commented on how seamless my makeup was. She said she couldn't even tell I was wearing makeup. Glad to hear your favorites.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I can't believe I haven't tried that one! Thanks for letting me know. xoxo

[@miriansavage1262]

Great video Mandy. I would say my favorite ones are the Jane iredale foundations. They look so natural.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

They are SOOOO good!

[@senseofwonder4734]

Love your videos. I did finally purchase the Pure Pressed Base, and I'm not really blown away. I feel like it is rather light coverage. I like my bare minerals better so far. I fear that it is my skin prep and/or technique that is limiting it. I'll keep trying. I'm going to a local shop today to buy the Iredale brush you use. I think that may make a big difference. 🤔

[@reneegrace7965]

I purchased the brush and base powder. I don't know if I love the brush. Mandy makes it look so easy yet I find it to not be firm enough, like I'm just sweeping nothing over my face... good luck!

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I personally get better coverage from the jane than the Bare Minerals, but makeup is so personal, so I understand being the opposite. If you haven't checked out my video on it, it might be helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sF6vfYCVeKulr5o&ab_channel=MandyDavisMUA

[@lauraw79]

🎉 yay ! Love your top 5 lists. And I love how you offered 10 this time lol! I was wondering where would you put the bareMinerals gel foundation if you had to rank this year? I’m absolutely loving Jane Iredale because of you thank you so much bless

[@karlaharvey2623]

Good morning Mandy, Karla 61 here with very very very sparse, coarse with gray hairs appearing in my eyebrows. Would you please consider doing an updated eyebrow tutorial? I’ve watched the one you did from 5 yrs ago a couple of times. Wondering if you use the same products. And what you recommend for coarse very sparse brows. I also use a eyelash growth serum on them, but not really helping. I am a natural blonde, yet my brow hair is like a med to dark brown with gray hairs growing like crazy. Thank you 🙏 and have a blessed week

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I do need to do an eyebrow tutorial for sure!!

[@CathyVaughn-ph3lr]

I ordered the hydro pure tinted serum and used it the other day, actually liked it a lot but it is barely even light coverage or I got the wrong shade. It felt lovely on my face and I am not crazy about medium to more coverage anyway. Had not heard of Jane Iredale until you, and I have listened to a LOT of influencers. Not sure why you do not hear more about it although Lisa J did mention the brand a day or so ago, hopefully she will try some more things from that brand. I also want to try the chantacaile but going to wait for a sale as it is so very expensive. You have definitely become one of my favorites. I love the products you talk about and your presentation:)

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Thank you so much Cathy! Yes, the hydro pure is definitely sheer to light at best. I have LOTS of jane videos. I have loved them and talked about them for years, if you wanted to check them out and find even more new loves from the brand. xoxo

[@CathyVaughn-ph3lr]

@@MandyDavisMUA Thank you Mandy, I have had my heart set on trying the Chantecaile foundation, that you use as concealer, for a month and finally ordered it last night so I better hold off for now. I will definitely give it a try in the future. Even though the Jane Iredale hydro pure tint is sheer I loved it and will really enjoy it this summer when I want a very light coverage.

[@suecone2198]

I do love some of the top 5 but there are a couple out of my retired money to spend but they are definitely on my wish list and I am watching for discounts and sales. Your skin always looks perfect before and after makeup! I discovered JI years ago and I do love it especially if I have any kind of treatment done. Thanks😊

I am 70 and have very nice skin. I recently purchased the new HydroPure tinted serum in fair. I was told by the Jane Iredale representative that she would probably recommend the Amazing Base Loose Powder in Light Beige. Have you reviewed the loose powder? What are your thoughts?

I have the Jane Iredale, the old and the new one. I love them both. I haven't purchased the Chanticaille yet. Maybe one day in 2023, I will take the plunge. $70 is usually my limit for foundation but that's not to say I wouldn't spend more if I felt I needed to.

Thanks Mandy, this was great! I’m always tempted to try BeautyPie. I think the membership is what holds me back. I get easily annoyed by subscription based setups too. *sigh~ wave of the future I suppose. Anyway, curious if you’ve ever tried Beauty Counter. I haven’t but some of the products look so nice.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I can understand that for sure. If you think you will want to invest in some of their other categories like skincare and body care, and even home fragrance; it's well worth the $$. I basically made back the $59 in my first order. LOL But I have ordered a lot!! I have tried Beautycounter. Their foundation used to be in my top five, but I ran out. It's really good! I also love their cream shadow in "Aura". I use it as a base under lid colors more often than not. Their shadow palettes used to be my fave, but they discontinued them.

[@kt9495]

@@MandyDavisMUA Awesome, thx Mandy ☺️

[@sierra1760]

How long do you feel the two chantecaille foundations would last if used daily? Are both good for daily use? Also the first one although $140 comes with a refill so that helps. Loved this video!

I really like the ED stick… until it got dethroned by the Tom Ford stick… it’s even better 🥰

[@tufornumberone]

I love Chantecaille too. Have you tried their Camouflage concealer? It has replaced all others for me. I wear it with the Bobbi Brown under eye primer. It is fantastic for older dryer skin. I do not have discoloration so don’t know how it works for that.

Have u tried tje new Shesiado foundation yet ? I dont remember seeing you try that one. I am super interested in that one but cant figure out a shade to pick for it 😂 their is a ton of shades and i have seen some people put medium to tan shades on that look dark on the swatches online but on it doesnt look dark so im just confused. It looks like a really pretty light coverage base product.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

It is currently in my Sephora cart for the most recent 20% off coupon. They are out of the light/medium neutral, so I think I will go for the medium neutral.

[@texaslyoness8537]

Chantecaille needs to make a neutral color in their cushion foundation. For the lightest one runs cool and the other one (too dark) is warm. I love the Lancôme stick foundation. Have you tried the Dior Forever Natural Velvet foundation? I know “Cheri Voyage” on YT rated that one number 1 over the Chantecaille. Since Dior has a better color range I will try that one.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I find the cushion to run way more neutral than some of their other formulas. I haven't tried the natural velvet. I tried the matte and it wasn't my fave. I will have to check into the velvet. Thanks!

[@theemmadog]

Ty you Mandy. I need a little more coverage so I use the Lancôme stick foundation too. But, do you use it on your eyelids or around your eye area??? I’m kinda wrinkled there. You look fabulous ❤️❤️❤️

Questions 1. The ISDIN sunscreen says its for oily skin, do they make something for skin that is more normal to dry? 2. The Chantecaille foundation colors, I went though their foundation finder and I popped up as Vanilla, however you look fairly light as I am and you are wearing Nude? How forgiving are they and d you know if they send out samples to match? Thank you

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I don't have oily skin, and I find the ISDIN works great! I can wear Vanilla too, so you will be fine with that one too probably. I do find they are pretty forgiving. I am not sure about the samples, but if you have a counter near you, I know they give samples there. xoxo

Just an FYI I tried to order the clean up pen from sigma linked on a video you did, and it was an awful experience, not your fault at all but thought I would let you know. Maybe you could reach out to them, I triple checked my information all the i's were dotted and t's crossed but it would not go through, did not give a reason. I removed the order and gave up. I also ordered the Jane Iredale brow pencil and it through with no problem at all:)

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Hmmm...I wonder if they were having a system error or something. I have never had an issue, but I am sorry you did, and thanks for letting me know!

[@CathyVaughn-ph3lr]

@@MandyDavisMUA Actually sigma reached out and asked me to order again although they did not know why I deleted my order. They also offered a 15% discount as a first time customer. The same thing happened again, I put the code they gave me in but when I sent the order it did not recognize my discount. I decided I would just let it go through, but I emailed them to tell them how unhappy I was with their website. I order a lot of stuff online and they are the only ones I have had an issue with. They were nice enough and refunded what my discount would have been, also I ordered over $50. worth of stuff and yet they charged for shipping, which no one else does. Long story short I will probably never order anything from them again, it was just too much of a hassle. Like I said before it was definitely not a reflection on you, I did order from Harben House also and it went through very smoothly so do not know what to think about Sigma.

[@jandaw7330]

I would love to try the Chantecaille cushion. I like that it comes with a refill, so that helps justify the initial price. I just wish they would sell the refills separately. Why do customers have to buy a whole new set after the first two cushions run out? Do you have any insight into that? Is the packaging shot after the two cushions are used? It seems like an odd choice for a company that seems to care about the earth/environment to not make the refills that they are already producing available for purchase separately once you've bought the compact initially. I'd love to know the reason why, if there is one.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I do agree with you for sure! I feel like I heard they were working on a way to just sell refills....I need to check back in on that, and I will let y'all know!
