So I see all the things you're saying--the lines and pores still visible, and all that--and yet there's something about it that still looks really nice on you, in my opinion! Maybe in person and not on camera, though, it's different. In any case, I like the glow on you.

[@mariachaersc]

I agree

[@Wanderer-uc1sj]

I agree. I thought her skin looked incredibly healthy and natural. As if she had no makeup whatsoever. Her skin, but better.

[@meredithlinzay823]

I knew it, hows it gonna be a concealer with no coverage..dupe it is not my friends. Thanks for saving me sum $ Shelly..hope all is well💛

[@lauriehutchinson791]

I was wondering if I should get it, now I won't. I know you've had your hair cut for a while, but I haven't commented on it. I love it!!!

[@goow]

Thanks, Laurie!!

[@TheSillykelly]

Well, thanks for taking another one for the team 😉

[@AndreaCIC]

I actually love the way your skin looks! I don't see the lines and pores, for me it looks natural and healthy on you. But of course, it depends on how you like it. I'm waiting for it to arrive, and I'll try it alone and as a primer.

[@heatherwillis8930]

I didn't know RBF is suppose to help with appearance as we age...Excellent video, thank you!

[@goow]

Less dynamic wrinkles from smiling 😂

[@heatherwillis8930]

@@goow Hey, whatever helps I'll take it!😆

[@GrandmaRose9000]

Shame it didn't perform. You still look pretty and glowy. Might work better in winter? Your hair looks fabulous. I've never liked Maybelline's Age Rewind foundations. The concealer is a good one though. Thanks for trying this so we don't have to!

[@carolsolt5604]

I LOVE this because there's a Becca luminous tinted face product that's no longer available and I use a primer under it with it mixed with another foundation. It just adds a glow that I love for summer. I'm also 54 years old and need some luminosity..😬😂❤ I thought you looked glowing 😘

[@kateo3209]

On camera this didn't look bad on you, but I'm sure you were seeing things in the mirror that we weren't. The one deal breaker for me is that it didn't look like it was evening out minor redness on your chin. I love a sheer to light coverage foundation, but it at least has to even out skin tone and this one didn't seem to do that. Oh well....on to the next! Thanks, as always, for such an in depth review! You're the best!! 🥰

[@Patti-1962]

Shelly, you deserve a medal for wearing this product this long🤨 SO many super sheer to little coverage products are launching these days... I wonder how many of these one needs? I'm old school, so when I wear foundation, I want some coverage. if not, I'm just going to mix my foundation into my moisturizer to get let coverage!

[@bunnykos9518]

I like it.

[@marianneharms5836]

Yep yep … I saw a young reviewer who loved it and thinks it’s a CT HFF dupe. It looked okay on her (not my favorite of her complexion looks). I knew it would not be for me as most overly glowy, overly dewy makeups really accentuate my wrinkles and fine lines. I will definitely not be picking up this product. Thanks for the review! 💗

[@bryndabaker6782]

I still think it looked pretty on you. :P For myself, I'd likely use it as a primer or mix-in. Since I already own about 5000 of such items--including the CT--it's likely a pass. Great review, thank you!

[@kalena7126]

I picked this up at Ulta today. (Figures, haha). I'm gonna give it a go though. I think I'll try your suggestion and use it as a primer for powder foundation. Great video, I now have a little bit more information to go on when I use this product. Have a great day!

[@meredithlinzay823]

I was waiting on your review of this before I made a decision 💛💄🖌

[@alejandraislas5890]

I remove the sponge to wash it, and then i put it back, i just twist it a little bit...

[@magm9719]

Thanks Shelly for reviewing this and being honest about it “being a dupe for the CT flawless filter” . After seeing it on your flawless skin, I can only imagine what it’ll do to my face… I have some deeeeep wrinkles unfortunately and that product will emphasize them for sure so nope, not for me ☹️ what part is age rewinding in that product??? I’d love to know!! Maybe it’s so blinding that people can’t see your face because of all the bling 🤣

[@lisadgingersnaps9843]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@goow]

😂😂😂 the face bling visual is cracking me up!

[@lisadgingersnaps9843]

🤔 I prefer pore blurring properties. Not a fan of emphasizing my challenges. Thank you fir checking this one.👍

[@mariachaersc]

Every new video I get really happy on how beautiful you are with this pixie hair

[@goow]

Thanks, Maria!

[@sarajane46321]

I was so excited for this, and it was a complete disappointment. It feels good....feels moisturizing and light....but it looked horrible on my 52 year old skin. I ended up putting Rimmel lasting finish over it and it did help. It just seemed to emphasize my fine lines and wrinkles. Oh well....live and learn! Thanks for a great review!

[@theclassysassymama7515]

[@andreasidweber9651]

I have a lot of stuff to tell you. After you did the Armani, they had a huge sale that I so sadly missed. We could have bought the neonude for a bargain on their site. Their other foundation is 50% off. They have a sale going on. I wanted the neonude blush but ended up with nothing bc their site was difficult and Sephora was sold out of the color I wanted. I had to try what you are trying tonight but have not received mine yet. I do use the Charlotte Tilbury foundation and products and love them.

[@christinelivingston4130]

Shelly Thank you for this review. I really wanted to buy this but now will pass.

[@dionline88]

I don't have the Wayne Goss mascara but the last two mascaras I tried were actually tubing mascaras. Never was that mentioned anywhere on the packaging but when it's really, really difficult to remove your mascara... it just might be a tubing version. Give that a try first before you pull any lashes out!!!! Oh, the foundation? Nah. There are so many that look fabulous on you. Toss it.

[@GlitzyFritzy]

THANK YOU...it's good to see somebody thinking the same thing about that. I just mentioned in a GRWM that I FILMED yesterday...it's not been edited yet but in that I mentioned that I didn't get the same things you did! xoxo

[@jopedersen8084]

Thank you for testing out the foundation ( what foundation? All gone except glow. now I don’t need to!). Your Goss mascara help make your Eye lashes look great through entire video. ❤️

[@dawnmarie240]

And i was thinking how lovely your make up looks! 😊

[@lesmartiniii]

[@tabulous77]

I was ready to buy it until I saw this, so thank you!

[@bxgal347]

I wouldn’t get it but I have to say it really does make your skin glow !! Looks pretty should just be a highlighter for cheeks lol tfs

[@crickettfenner8438]

Many of these new extremely light coverage products, really preform better when we use a color matched concealer. I use primer then powder, concealer then this product it seems work really well for my 55 year old skin.

[@bibbylord6562]

Thanks! You saved me on this one. I have Charlotte’s Flawless Filter and love it with the more matte foundations.

[@autumnmathes5364]

I absolutely have to wear waterproof mascara or my lashes just fall flat. I have very few lashes and they are stick straight. Baby oil baby oil baby oil! I just put a drop and rub gently with my finger until it all breaks down. This has been my go to trick for years.

[@olinayoung6287]

Ooo I’ve been hearing amazing things about this guy🤩! Excited to see your demo & hear your thoughts. Thanks Shelly 🧡!! PS. Ohh, settling creasing, no coverage, accentuated pores lines texture & pigment not minimized 😵‍💫lol! Maybe this could be used as a highlighter if purchased with regret.

[@Lilo-A]

So I’m gonna order the Charlotte Tillbury. It looks beautiful on you!

[@simplyme922]

I got so excited when I saw you were reviewing a new Maybelline foundation. But wow, that is seriously light coverage and shiny to boot. Lol! the "crevices of melancholy". :D I feel that! I do hate that sponge applicator that they seem to think everyone loves....not. I think I'll take a pass on this one. Thanks Shelly. :)

[@veronika__asmr_]

Getting really tired of companies crazy product claims. 🙄 Edit: Do you find the Elf putty bronzers fade quickly? Kelly Gooch says she can’t get it to stick/ stay.

[@blondegirl9568]

The heroine make super speedy mascara remover is great for removing waterproof mascara. You apply it like mascara and then it just melts off

[@kirstenglae]

I do think it’s a dupe for CTHF, as a primer only though. It leaves a glowy and blurred base that is actually quite beautiful underneath foundation/tinted moisturizers BB creams, etc. Of course, this is only my opinion. I actually really like it as a primer.

[@margaretlovesmakeup6441]

Hi Shelly. Thanks for the review. I bought it, and at 56, scared to try it now lol...maybe I will try it as a primer. This isn't what I thought it would be. I thought it would be more forgiving.

[@annalucy89]

Why is anyone looking at these 2 products as foundations or even tinted moisturizers!? these are clearly both primers for use underneath foundation, at least is that what I've always done or I use it on its own with no complexion product on. I don't see these products covering up anything or blurring anything. The CT doesn't blur anything on me either, it just gives me a glow all over.

For there to be thousands and saying something that is so obviously not true...hmmm, makes ya think. Love the video as always. Thanks Shelly!

[@katiej.5229]

How does this compare to the Becca Backlight primer??? It looks like it might be so similar!!! Also, I’m just not sure this IS supposed to be a foundation… it just seems like a primer-type, glowy base product that you wear under foundation. Am I crazy??

[@reneklein6049]

Yuck to the sponge applicator. This product looks more like a highlighter than anything else. Or as you suggested, underneath a powder foundation. This would never work on my skin. Shelly, I'm loving your earrings. Do you remember where you got them? Love the chain style. ❤❤❤
