Are THESE Charlotte Tilbury Foundations REALLY Worth $44

[@deerogatory]

People raved about this foundation but I was left deflated. I love how it looks on others, but I feel in my advanced age, I'm looking for something that is simplistic but beautiful. Putting on all this moisture, primer, pore smoother, misting, setting spray, press, press, press. I just want something creamy that's between foundation and powder that doesn't sit in wrinkles. I've pivoted to upping dollars to even better skin care and less makeup now.

[@DebbieDooo]

I didn’t think the eyeshadow was too dark at all. I liked the 2nd foundation better too.

[@MindfulMidlife]

Oh thank you! Once I got in the car in natural light I liked it much better.

[@LenaSheppard]

Thank you for doing this and for your honesty. I think sometimes we're "try" to be more lenient on a product just because it is on the pricier end. I'm not going to love something just because it hurt to purchase it. Lol! I appreciate you so very much !

[@MindfulMidlife]

Agreed! I also think we are too swayed to believe something is good. That’s why I try to not listen to the reviews before I try it.

[@terririggle6106]

Bobbie, I just love your videos! You are a delight! I like it that you can laugh at yourself. Keep up the great work! ❤

[@dianev9253]

I really liked that you put pictures of the products you used on screen. Your skin is beautiful.

[@stephc4961]

After watching this, I wondered what is your real go to foundation then? I'm only just starting to experience the big shift to drier skin at 51. So, I'm having to rethink and try new foundations. So far, I like Sephora's Best Skin Ever and L'Oréal's Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation...both reasonable priced.

[@MindfulMidlife]

Right now my go-to is L’Oreal True Match Nude.

[@debbyritchie2608]

Thank you so much for your honest opinion. I was going to buy the new flawless foundation by other reviews, but it is sold out. After your review I'm glad it is. I have a drawer full of foundations from high end Dior to drugstore and nothing seems to work on my 66 year skin. Today I did try a BB cream from AOA Studio and I only paid a dollar for it! So far it looks great 👍 I got it off of the website where the paw paw sponges are sold. Everything is a dollar!!

[@Carol_Chenot]

Once again you've come thru with a great, honest review ... and demo! Thank you for helping us see what might / might not work for us.

[@MindfulMidlife]

Thanks Carole!

[@chanilehmann4970]

Tks for the review! We all get hyped up to buy buy buy- I put on an inexpensive wet n wild tinted moisturizer today and it’s gorgeous and thought why do I need to spend on the high end stuff … and yet my next question is can you review the new Nars - lol?

[@lisaharr1477]

I think for $44.00 it better perform miracles ! I could not justify spending that much money and it not be perfect. I think these high dollar brands need to do more research and perfect their products instead of just producing inferior products in pretty packaging. That’s just my opinion though. Thank you for doing these reviews Bobbie ! They really help !

[@MindfulMidlife]

That’s is exactly why I do these reviews. There are others who love this new one though so it could just be me.

[@Debra_Barron]

Bobbie, your videos are informative and fun too. I know now whether or not I’ll be buying that CT foundation. 💙🇺🇸💙

[@champagenroses]

Great video Bobbie :) Most of the cosmetics that are high end are also manufactured by the same company that make drug store cosmetics. The fancy packaging and the claims don't justify the high end prices of these products. Their are many good quality products at the drug store, I have found a few that I repurchase often. Take care everyone

[@70sladyalways25]

I agree. I have tried and spent so much money on high end foundations. I always go back to my drugstore L’Oreal Infallible Total Cover foundation. It’s the lightest full cover I have found that just works well for my skin. The CT Beautiful Skin did not work or wear well for me at all. I’m 62 with combination skin.

[@MindfulMidlife]

I agree! My favorite is drugstore! Which is your favorite?

[@champagenroses]

@@MindfulMidlife I have a few favorite foundations that I use - Rimmel Lasting Finish Breathable (orange top) Medium Coverage, this one comes with a pump :) This one does have a slight scent, however, it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin at all. I also use Mineral Foundation, and from Marcelle Natural BB Cream, excellent coverage :)

[@yulianagonzalez2428]

Every foundation is expensive I like the new CT one My go to go are the La Mer/Kho Gen do

[@MindfulMidlife]

We have never tried either of those. Some day I will.

[@idreamofparis7233]

I used to love the first CT foundation. Then sometime last yr my skin freaked and it no longer looked good. I am liking her new one. I’ve worn it a couple times. It’s not a favorite but it is nice so far.

[@MindfulMidlife]

I hate it when skin changes. It’s so frustrating! I’m glad you are liking the new one.

[@kellymulligan2157]

If you had to pick one foundation as your only one what would it be.? You make fun of yourself but you are so real, you are sooooo sweet.

[@PaoReno]

Thank you so much! Great review l really enjoyed it l have similar skin and l know l would have issues and those are expensive products! I will check your other videos and hope l can find some good recommendations ❤

[@kellymulligan2157]

Love tower 28 magic hour bought it under your recommendation.

[@sharonhardy7187]

I wonder what would happen if you mixed the two? It might be interesting to see if that would help. Forty four dollars needs to be great to spend that for me. Thanks for the reviews, it helps.

[@MindfulMidlife]

Hmmm, now I want to try it. 🤗

[@karenhoff5548]

I’ve only bought CT Pillow Talk lipstick. Just can’t bring myself to pay the high price point. I love the packaging though 😁. On a side note, love the cozy comfy top. Can you share where you got it? Thanks for your videos. Love your sense of humor. 😂

[@MindfulMidlife]

Ha, I love that fuzzy sweater. I got it from Marshall’s.

[@karenhoff5548]

@@MindfulMidlife thank you! Chances are they are long gone. ☹️

[@missss1]

Very honest review, thank you!!

[@curlgirl4265]

I tried the CT Airbrush Flawless Foundation and I hated it. I tried it multiple times and gave it a fair shake and I cannot seem to want to keep it anymore. It was very dry and cakey on me. I will stick to ELDW foundation for special occasions and a lighter foundation for other times. I even like EL Futurist Hydra Rescue for summertime everyday because it has the added spf. I am very leary to try another CT foundation.

[@karenover50]

Excellent review. You look beautiful

[@midlifemom5829]

Good Morning from Southern California! Im too much of a skeptic to believe any marketing claims from makeup/ skincare brands (all price points). They make me laugh . Really appreciate you for listing the claims. You can then devote time to actual product demo. Your channel is very helpful!

[@MindfulMidlife]

Thank you so much! I personally don’t like hearing all the claims. I can read those if I want to later.

[@ginnyburley9552]

I know for sure that I’m not going to buy a full coverage foundation. Not too many foundation that claim to be hydrating end up being hydrating for me. Having dry skin and living in an arid environment means hydration is a constant challenge. I also find that using a very small amount of foundation seems to work the best for me to try to keep the stuff gathering in wrinkles. I haven’t been tempted to buy any of the CT foundations for some reason.

[@annmariewhitehurst4789]

The Airbrush Flawless was sooo drying on me. I was super disappointed.

[@MindfulMidlife]

Yes, yet it says it’s for dry skin! 🤷‍♀️ I don’t get it.

[@misstaveras8028]

Watching this end of 2024 and it’s $55. Inflation is crazy. $10 everyyear.

[@dianehiltz1193]

I think I’ll give them a pass for my dry skin. Loved the eye shadow God bless💜

[@andrajo2983]

Hi, I am wondering did you use any hydrating cream before the foundation? It’s a must, especially for those with mature and dry skin.You will see a major difference when you moisture and hydrate the skin.

[@ChrissyGrace2611]

Said all you have on is SPF? Do you not have skin care on underneath this? I’m curious because you said you have a very dry skin and I know I would moisturize very well if I had very dry skin before I put on any foundation so if you haven’t moisturized, I don’t think you’re giving it a fair try but maybe I misunderstood.

[@MindfulMidlife]

Oh no....I definitely have skincare on. I have very dry skin so I have to moisturize. What I mean is I don't use anything else besides skincare and an SPF. All foundations have to work with that. I don't use a primer when I am trying out new foundations - that's what I mean by "all I have is SPF on". Thanks for asking!

[@judibeth6483]

For some reason every CT foundation pulls orange on me or maybe it just oxidizes. Even the lipsticks and eyeshadows pull orange on me.

[@MindfulMidlife]

Well that’s annoying! I haven’t noticed oxidation on me.

[@randig7503]

Thanks Bobbie, I think I’ll skip both of these.will you be trying the new NARS foundation? ☮️💟

[@yulianagonzalez2428]

NARS and Chanel #1 are the hot foundation this season

[@MindfulMidlife]

Yes, I’ve used it once so far. I have a few more days. It will be part of my next foundation series.

[@josephvalenti4475]

I don't think so! It costs 44 dollars, especially since the drugstore has upped their game. Me, being a male with skin, normal to dry skin at 68, I love my Physcians Formula new foundation, love Revlon Colorstay normal to dry, which is often overlooked, also their full coverage! I am on a monthly income, love the Elf Cameo Hydrating Concealer, and the Covergirl Tru Blend. I just cannot see paying the outrageous prices for every new foundation that comes out! To me, when it is over 40 dollars it should be damned near flawless for any skin. I love the ordinary and good molecules, I believe skincare and personal care shouldn't have to cause you to take a second mortgage on your home, or sell a spare body part to afford!

[@MindfulMidlife]

I just bought the Revlon to review. Which Physicians Formula did you buy?

@@MindfulMidlife Butter Believe It !

[@MindfulMidlife]

@@josephvalenti4475 that’s a good one!!

[@Jackteal1]

The first one turned orange on me, so buy the second one is doubtful...not spending another $40 plus for probably a same orange foundation. Dupe shows L'OREAL new foundation...

Great video 👍 May I ask why you’re in tretanion?

I don't find CT products as good as their hype either
