[@brittanymyers7552]

I LOVE this foundation it's beautiful so skin like last all day on me and looks great by the end of the day even in 100 degree heat with 100% humidity. I'm glad I picked it up.

[@IndigoRoses7]

I love her smile when you can tell she's excited to try something!

[@Sniffy0727]

Me too she is such a beautiful woman 💖💖💖

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

🤣🤣🤣 ohhhhhh dearrrrrrr....you've saved lots of people lots of money with this video Michele including me!! X

[@tianandbeauty]

I discovered that setting spray before foundation will help combat the oxidation. Usually the foundations I use won’t oxidize.

[@RisaDoesMakeup]

Omg our emotions and facial expressions are nearly identical at the last check in! 🤣 Thank you so much for your sweet intro. You are so dear to me too and I am grateful for our friendship. I hope we can do a collab together in the same room like we used to sometime soon!! 😘

[@TheMicheleWang]

😭 omg remember the days... when we could collab in person... I miss them so much!!! xoxo Love you!!!

[@AlexisLeigh-]

As someone who has had to deal with wearing a mask in certain situations for medical reasons long before the current Covid-19 pandemic, one thing that I learned was that base products can react with the antimicrobial coating used on many masks created specifically for medical use (ex. surgical masks). I will never forget one day when I took mine off at home and my partner asked if I had blood on my face 😂. When I went in the bathroom to see what was going on, I saw that the antimicrobial coating had reacted with my base (I think that time was a CC cream) and caused orange splotches (a guess a little red looking when you see just a spot on the face). This had happened less noticeably before and I hadn't put it together yet, but it finally clicked that time. I confirmed by purposely getting getting the foundation on the mask, and sure enough it turned orange. This might not be the case at all, but I wonder if the foundation had a reaction with your mask, albeit to a much lesser degree then my example 🤷‍♀️

[@TheMicheleWang]

thanks for the info Alexis!

[@evamatheson7624]

Alexis Leigh it happened to Risa as well and she didn’t wear a mask.

[@armandabarone3489]

Yes, I had the same experience where it seemed to darken after putting it on, but as the day progressed it looked fine.

[@parisinthe30sx]

I actually liked this foundation. It looked skin like. I received a sample and am wearing it now, it's only been 3 hrs but normally I have to powder quite a few times throughout the day and so far I haven't. I do wish it didn't have fragrance but so far I'd say I really like it. I've been trying to find a new foundation, I normally wear tinted moisturizer.

[@Anonymous_Gamer106]

I was looking to buy this foundation, what a close call! Your reviews are so fair and reliable, I never miss them. I wear the exact foundation colours as you, so I can blind-buy after watching your reviews (clearly not this one 😂). Cheers!

[@Avawys]

Hi Michele, I have been looking forward to this review. This is very helpful. I have the TF regular traceless foundation but I find myself reaching for the Dior Forever foundation more. I hope you get to do a Giorgio Armani luminous silk foundation review soon as I’ve been curious on the high good reviews it has. I would love your opinion on it. Thanks a bunch. ❤️

[@maimaimaired]

Thank u for your honest detailed review

[@britney4840]

You are soooo cute! I loved the review. I saw this at the Cosmetic Company Store and, even at 50% off, I didn’t buy this. I’m kinda glad now. My Uoma foundation I’m using now has shined above any other foundations I’ve tried.

[@TheAdrianVee]

I’m super new to your channel, but I LOVE your reviews. Always so informative & detailed. And you try a lot of the brands that I tend to over splurge on😂

Finally catching up with this and Risa's video, I've gotta see your thoughts!

[@jennifertustin6629]

I almost bought this. I love the Tom Ford stock foundation and wondered what this one would be like. Thanks for helping me save my money.

[@Jbal8924]

I was really tempted by this now that I finally figured out my correct shade in TF, but it’s a hard pass now that I’ve watched your video and Risa’s. Thank you so much for the honest review!

[@TheMicheleWang]

Thanks for checking out our videos!

[@StephiGlam]

Ohhhh yassss you saved the coins💪🏼💪🏼i was gonna get it for review purposes but not no more💯

[@panizesfandiary1067]

I feel like Tom Ford has been releasing a new foundation every other month.

[@catnip4587]

He seems to have released a lot of foundation lately. Wearing a mask I don’t currently use foundation. Sephora told me if the product is aerosol or contains alcohol it has to be shipped ground?

[@francinethomas7762]

Thank you so much for the review. Very timely as I am researching foundations for a change from my go to ....Armani. Be well and safe.

[@TheMicheleWang]

Same to you Francine!

[@kileyconklin]

Hey love! Love your reviews

[@TheMicheleWang]

Thanks!

[@paulineenewman]

I totally understand why you feel that way about this foundation Michele. I should’ve waited for your review before I placed my order. I ordered it because I have Oily skin. Let’s hope it works out. Thank you for always being true and honest with us. Have a fabulous weekend.

[@TheMicheleWang]

Thanks you too Pauline!

Hi, Nice to meet you. Im over here from risa does makeup, and am happy to say im now subscribed. we have the same skin type and am going to enjoy all tips and tricks from you. Thank you again

[@heyitsjackeline]

😂 Love your facial expressions! How great you collab with Risa! 💕 Im impressed the foundation was oxidizing on you 🧐 I uploaded my review today as well 🥰 I have dry skin but I live in a different climate, California, and it didn’t do the same reaction on me, I did shaked it well before trying it and it stay true to shade all days. I’m going to check Risa’s video next! 💕 Have a great day Michele!

Thanks for checking us both out!

[@valentinaufimzeff3527]

I had the same experience! Bought it in the boutique, applied it in the morning and by the time I got to the mall, it was sliding off of my face and looked very patchy! When I got to the makeup counter, the ladies could not believe what they were seeing. It was so bad that I had to get another foundation and redo my makeup right there at the store.

[@irmabeadles3739]

Hi Michelle! 👋 I struggle to find my right shade of foundation 😩 just imagine if it oxidize 😭. It really changed color wow 🤔

Awww man now I need to try mine again. I love mine but only wore it for 2hrs. Now looking at my pictures to see if it did something wierd.

[@seethroughyou5885]

Appreciate the review was about to pull the trigger

[@thebeauteatalk]

Yeah the same thing was said when I just bought the shiesido self refreshing liquid foundation. Sephora said it was a hazard to ship or whatever and it would take longer, but it took the same amount of time it always does. So weird 🤔

[@VivianDavilaBeauty]

I was curious about this foundation. So sad it didn't work. Return them. Too pricey for it's performance. I prefer the original Traceless. Still I got on sale at half price and I find that the content is little. There's a lot of plastic layer around the real tube with the content. Thanks for the honest review! Sending love! 💕💕

[@marycookmoore3956]

Same thoughts why do they have to change good quality products?

[@TheMicheleWang]

💗

[@catnip4587]

A lot of companies package their products with a clear plastic tube around the container so it looks like you are getting more product

[@kellie_y]

I have no interest in this foundation, but your thumbnail suckered me into watching your review 😆

[@karab.4178]

kellie when I saw it I literally laughed out loud! 😂

[@TheMicheleWang]

😂 thanks for watching!

[@shirleyross6700]

Just got this, a bit late to the game, and love it. It's blurring, which I really like. I'm surprised you didn't like it

[@mariadavis3523]

I just bought this and it’s my first TF foundation, so far so good no oxidation yet 🤞🏼

[@robind2727]

Hi Michele! I noticed the issues around the mouth when you were out in your car. Weird how that oxidized. Thanks for the review. Much appreciated!

[@ojpats4pats184]

Have you tried using a Beauty Blender with a fuller coverage foundation? I don't think you should've applied it with your brush.

[@Snobbeautyplace]

Ohhhhh noooooo. I am scared now. Lol. It’s on the way and l was so excited to receive it. but now l am not sure. Thank you for your honesty. It’s hard to come by these days. Your Fan

[@velmasmith4604]

It comes across beautiful the color is great, I didn’t see where it the separation or spotted. Did you blot?

I was hopin I would be picked by influenster to try this but I wasn't, so I've been waitin to see if its any good or not.

[@louisesharpy]

Yes. I love Risa. I think both opinions are Bomb. Thank you both !! This is perfect thank you. Edit. I don’t like it after the first application. There’s something about it. But wow. What an ending. Same with Risa. Edit. Yes that’s the word. Makeup-eeeeee

Thank you Michele for saving me money. I have dry skin too and I was going to pick up that foundation in Vellum as well. Pass!!!

[@50plusluxurystyle]

When it comes to Tom Ford foundation, I am sticking to the Shade & Illuminate. Hate the price but love the look. 😂

[@Loralarify]

I am just so satisfied with the Surratt Dew Drop and Chantecaille Future Skin foundations, and I wear so little foundation.. they will probably last me for years! I seem to use a good concealer, more, these days for a dab here and there in lieu of foundation. Loved that thumbnail! Haha! A good thumbnail is everything! :)

Hi Laura, I’ve actually been eyeing both the Surratt and the Chantecaille. Can you tell me which you prefer for the warmer months? Thanks!

I bet that ReVive oil would work wonders to soften this up :)

[@laurenboiles6154]

Good morning my friend 💕. You made me laugh so hard, I didn’t see it when you put it on, but it looked too matte for you. I definitely saw it when you were in the car, it looked like there was no foundation on the side of your face. Definitely send them back, what a dud lol. Love ya ♥️♥️♥️

Wow Michele, so glad I got to see you try this foundation. I actually did see the patches of oxidation on your face easily. What a shame! Perhaps they can reformulate... definitely send back. I never swipe a brand from one fail, I know they have a plethora of good products. I appreciate you doing this review, how on earth would I figure this out myself! Thanks, ALWAYS enjoy your videos!

Thanks for watching Yvonne

[@dianereiser6417]

I don’t have dry skin or oily skin, I’m combo T-zone oily and dryer on the outskirts. It’s so hard for me to use the same foundations as influencers do. The Traceless stick foundation is still a battle to use, haven’t found a good primer to use with it yet, and I have 5 different primers. My go to is Lancôme foundations. Perfect.

[@CatherinaMonica]

I use the traceless with a brush. Then I often will also use dior flashskin over it for special occasions. It's beeeeaaautiful. It has a curve when I first got it. But now I'd definitely get another.

[@CatherinaMonica]

I also use Gurleanain (spelling) as a primer. The gold primer. It's heavenly.

[@dianereiser6417]

Catherina do you mean Guerlain primer?

[@dianereiser6417]

Catherina thanks, I’ll check it out.

[@katelefar8824]

I use Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless as a primer under all foundation. It’s really worth a try, My absolute must have.

[@TheSilverVeela]

where did you get your mask?

[@mytamhoang3553]

Does it have anything to do with wearing a mask? Humidity unevenness can change oxidization. Did you observe that on your forehead?

[@ChiquisJ70]

Thank you so much for saving us $88 dlls!! in your opinion which TF foundation is the best? I have dry skin as well - Thanks

[@TheMicheleWang]

I'm loving the shade and illuminate- I talk about it in my mid-year favorites video.

[@donnadrane4977]

I’ll take your word for it Michele, but even in natural light it looked ok. Today I tried the Estée Lauder futurist hydro rescue foundation and it looked terrible on me! People seem to really like that one. Gonna go watch Risa now.

[@TheMicheleWang]

Thanks Donna!

[@taraball1030]

I got a sample of this foundation in the mail and it is a hit and miss for me. If i dont hydrate really well and put an oil on, it clings to dry patches i didnt know i had!! Lol. And its way to Expensive to work so hard!!!

[@danicee]

Although I don't purchase complexion products from TF (too expensive for me honestly) I had heard a few influencers review this and they liked it, the one I know that liked it has a much darker complexion so maybe the formula differs for the darker shades. Not surprised that this didn't work out, though, I think that we expect a lot when a product is luxury-priced and for it to oxidize like that is a let down

[@leazettegreen4625]

Thanks for the review and being so honest 😊
