My Top 5 Foundations | A Model Recommends

[@jessejames6688]

I found it SO HELPFUL to see the shots of you putting on the foundations. I feel it's really important to see the finish, how it settles, what tones it has, what the coverage is, etc. I wish more people on KZbin included that in their reviews/top product videos...such a smart idea!

[@RuthCrilly]

Thank you! x

[@chloebug5730]

I bought the Nars tinted moisturizer this spring thanks to one of your videos recommending it; the video is a couple years old but I sometimes like watching older ones. I love the Nars!! It is my everyday base for work or errands. Thanks Ruth!!

[@LiliaKardenas]

I think you're much more than a model, Ruth. To me, you're a real role model. Or a fitspo, if I was using that freshly coined word these days. I was so lucky to discover you on KZbin a few years ago, and I've been a proper fan of yours ever since. You look gorgeous and promote a healthy lifestyle, which in my opinion are two deeply interconnected things, non-existent one without the other. I really want to say thank you for all KZbin work that you do. You're amazing. Please keep it up.

[@katego370]

please do all your tutorials or try on things in this lighting and background. it's so clear I can see how it is in real life and not enhanced through the camera lens.

[@AnUrbanGypsy]

I like the grey background too.

[@AnUrbanGypsy]

I purchased what has become my everyday foundation, after viewing one of your older videos and that was the By Terry Sheer Expert Fluid Foundation. I have decent skin but with freckles and a bit of redness in the centre yet I find I can build it to cover the redness and it nicely blurs everything else making me look very natural. It sounds similar in finish to the Chanel velvet foundation. I apply it with my fingers as it's a bit spendy and I'd hate to waste any on a brush. So thank you for that Ruth. I also use the Bourjois Healthy Mix serum when I need more coverage and would recommend that one also for those with skin on the drier side.

[@twergz]

I've had that bare minerals product for a while but it mostly just sits on my counter without getting touched since its too greasy for me on most days and moves around. I've tried it with some primer and powder but I'm totally going to try it without a moisturizer first. Great tip! I'm excited to see how it goes....

[@RuthCrilly]

Oh let me know! Yes it is so moisturising, it moves about on my oily patches if I have too much product underneath it. x

[@specialk3021]

Ruth I was so excited when BM Complexion Rescue came out. I ran to Sephora ASAP. I found for my 42yo skin.. I was so bummed when for my face it showed every pore 100X bigger & I found it to be on the ashy side. I tried every which way to use it too. Sadly it went back. I absolutely love the Chanel Aqua Luminere & my everyday BB is the Burberry BB cream. Love!! I'll have to get a sample of the Nars.

[@CatryH]

I totally agree on Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum! It works even on oily skin, 'cos it's not too dewy. It's just natural and makes skin look so smooth. This was love at first sight. :D And the coverage is enough for a slightly blemished skin. My skin is more on the cool side but I'm glad I tried this anyway, 'cos it's not too yellow for me (shade 51).

[@Jesshallcooks]

I have both the NARS tm and the BareMinerals complexion rescue and I find the complexion rescue to be a LOT glowier than the NARS offering. Absolutely love both though!

[@MarionBrandsen6204]

Thanks to you I will try the Chanel. I did not like Chanel foundation that much but this one reminds me of the shiseido perfect refining foundation which I love. I know and love your other recommendations so I can't go wrong.

[@alisontull124]

+Sonia wicks, I would say yes Chanel is suitable for you,i hve really dry skin and eczema, I sometimes get patches on my forehead,i make sure I've moisturised well,never had a problem with Chanel😀 and it smells beautiful xx

[@Falaseyeh]

Thank you so much Ruth ! You have guided me to the Chanel perfection lumière velvet. It is and will always be my skins favorite !! 💛 THANK YOU

[@isisbocardo]

I just bought the Chanel foundation and I still haven't gotten the hang of it but i love the idea of lighter feeling foundation with decent coverage

[@Brbljiva]

Yes Ruth! Great review of foundations!

[@SoniaVerardoBeautyBlog]

I'd love to see your top 5 for more affordable foundations! I love Bourjois and Chanel foundations, unfortunately it's been very hard to get this Healthy Mix Serum one lately (in Italy and Croatia), I don't know why! I should try on-line! xoxo

[@elenapiccinelli2017]

I live in Italy and I buy the Healthy Mix on lookfantastic.com

[@melanieabbott4451]

Sorry if you've already done this video and I've missed it - but could you do a top 5 make up brushes to have in your every day make up kit? There are millions to choose from & they seem to make such a difference with how your make up turns out

[@anne-mariecox2825]

Thanks for the great informative video. I would love it if you could do your most used day and night moisturisers.

[@Brian_0523]

The Chanel foundation is the best I've ever tried. It's awesome.

[@KatrinaLovesAdrian]

Hi Ruth, can you please do a top 5 concealers?

[@ellieanne8603]

yikes, this video is two years old! Sorry I am late in the game to your channel, but I just wanted to thank you for your brief yet concise and informative video :) I have been wanting to try the Chanel foundation for some time now but wanted more knowledge before purchasing... I think I may be sold after watching this! Thank you, Ruth! xx

[@blorevedasamhita]

Loved the video. Excited for the highstreet version.

[@rhiannonknight90]

As soon as i saw this, i thought Ruth HAS to mention the little black holy grail bottle. I have oily/combo skin, so i'm tempted. Also the brush looks great. Xo

[@RuthCrilly]

: )

[@mariafiorenza4515]

got to get myself some Chanel! Thanks Ruth!

[@yrlnnjulsaint]

You look absolutely beautiful. I own the Louise Young foundation brush as well. At first I hated it, but now I use it daily. What is your top most use Kiehls products?

[@fateharazak8459]

can you please do concealer as well, just like this video. i usually just use concealer and that's it whih is really hard to do nowadays cos my skin has been hormonal. concealer tends to go creasy as well.

[@HaydenHayder]

Ruth... I don't use foundation or anything lol... I'm a guy... yet for some reason I'm really captivated by you and I watch all your videos ! Maybe it's how pretty you are... or your accent...

[@quixotic7460]

Guys can use foundation too, ain't nothin wrong with that ;)

[@quixotic7460]

Guys can use foundation too, ain't nothin wrong with that ;)

[@quixotic7460]

[@AudreyNataliaKosmar]

Bareminerals Complexion Rescue is just a tinted moisturizer, not a foundation. Just a no to sheer coverage.

[@Missladypenny]

I'd love to know your top five primers after your comment on the difference they can make.

[@Noexcusegirl]

Can't wait to see your video for affordable foundations. You are so beautiful and all of these look great on you!

[@RuthCrilly]

Thank you x

[@rachelparker861]

Tried the Bare minerals in store today and I love it ! X

[@joannataitimu-kidd5158]

Hi Ruth, apart from the Becca, I have tried the others and totally agree with you - great list! What colour do you wear in the Nars please? Thank you 👍Jo

[@RuthCrilly]

Alaska x

[@Joysteib]

Love these types of videos!! Thanks for sharing with us.

[@angeladavies898]

This is really interesting - I use the Bourjois foundation for work and the Chanel for special occasions - both in the same shades as you - however, I tried the Bare Minerals and I just can't seem to get a good colour match - so strange!

[@DoctorAnne]

The pipettes are annoying if you ask me, I much prefer the pumps as well. But if you are forgiving the pump, it must be a very good foundation indeed.

[@Saljarba87]

I have stopped watching KZbin vids its been 2 or 3 years. It is safe to say that you look even younger than the last time i watched one of your vids. Gorgeous as always.

[@yelb9135]

The BM one is okay but mine seems to separate sometimes, either in the tube and when squeezing it out, or on the skin when blending.

[@specialk3021]

I too found it very disappointing. Showed every pore like a creator! Lol

[@alleycats1274]

Mine too. It seems to roll up and peel as I apply it

[@lyn-marienorton4205]

Yes, I find the same after only using half a tube. Shame as I loved it.

[@misskel8146]

Great video Ruth! I love a quick top 5 video and you have some fab recommendations 😊

[@RuthCrilly]

Thanks!

[@stefaniemedina14]

The Bare Minerals product is not intended for oily skin. It was made specifically for dry skin. I got a sample and it was a disaster for my very oily skin, it didn't work with primer, no moisturizer, powder, etc.

[@patriciagimay9195]

Thanking you Ruth. Lovely video on the foundations.Do you use powder over them . Also would you when you can,a video on favourite eyeshadows that you like to use. My eyes I'm older than you are small and getting a little crepey,and would like to find the best eyeshadow to use for them.i know that shiney ones are to avoid,but very matte makes them look dry too sigh. :-)

[@rachaelwilkinson28]

You look such a lovely colour at the end! Did you use the Dior powder all over to set the foundation or just on your high points?

[@Lilee993]

So you like the Chanel vita aqua lumiere one?

[@soniauk4284]

Would the Chanel foundation be appropriate for skin with slight eczema condition ?? I get occasional flare ups when stressed.

[@DebraJohnson-MakeupByDebra]

Hi Ruth! I'm a pro artist and I'm wondering what foundation you like the most that makeup artists' use on you while working on set?

[@lauraroberts0219]

Ok...mystery hair on/around the nose!!! Oh my goodness - I have this happen, too! I've seen you mention it in this video and another I watched just now and I can't help but be annoyed right along with you! I ONLY feel this "ghost hair" (which almost feels like a fuzzy or perhaps one from my dog that has been floating around or something) when I'm applying my foundation...incredibly annoying and almost kinda itchy...and truly most frustrating that I can't ever find it. 😝 Thanks for your always awesome videos!

[@cherylcollinson4711]

Good Monday morning Ruth. If you happen to see this post, can you tell me, have you ever tried Laura Geller Balance and Brighten? I've been using it for a few years now but am in search of a little something new. Love, love your videos. Bright spot in a hot Monday! xoxo

[@RuthCrilly]

I haven't I'm afraid!

[@cherylcollinson4711]

Ok....thanks Ruth.

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

Aw, shoot. I can't find the BareMinerals Complexion Rescue in Canada OR the USA. Sad. Will look into the UK sites... This is unusual! Usually the States have "everything". Harumpf. ;) Thanks for this!

[@coffeecoatedcurls]

have you checked out sephora.ca, I thought I had seen it there but perhaps they took it off the site - that would be a shame.

[@twergz]

It's definitely in Sephoras in Canada.

[@Maquillage79]

Sephora and ulta both have it

[@cherylcollinson4711]

Bare Minerals is available on qvc uk so I assume it's on other qvc's too?

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

Thanks. I checked both Canada and US online and neither have it. :( Maybe it's in-store, will have to go to States.

[@buzzi2k]

Hi Ruth! Have you tried the latest Urban Decay foundation? xx

[@user-jc2ow2xe7j]

When you say that you wash your face right when you get home, say 5 or 6, do you cleanse again before bed? Or is that get-home-cleanse your nighttime cleanse? Thanks :)

[@tamcon72]

Thanks for posting this; really like the way it's filmed, as well--arty. : )

[@linettelow]

Thank you, Ruth :) A blessing to us all, these shares.♡ Xx

[@Principessarim]

Hi Ruth, I know you used to love Dior Forever. Me too. However, not so much since they changed it. Have you tried it and do you like the new version yourself? Ive been meaning to ask you for a while now :) Thanks!

[@NFH1994]

Love you loads ruth, have a lovely Sunday evening xxxxx

[@elainebines6803]

I just discovered Delilah. it's an amazing foundation and when you are next looking for one you should give it a try. I'm fair and wear shell (the colour) 😉

[@RuthCrilly]

Oh yes they are on my list! x

[@ChrissieSM]

You have great skin, so no matter what you wear, you look good.

[@specialk3021]

Ruth do you find the Nars to show pores??

[@anamoraga7414]

I love your videos! Greetings from Chile!

[@sashababy6060]

Hi Ruth! I was just wondering if you ever felt pressured to get any cosmetic surgery while you were in the modeling industry and if so how you dealt with it. Are you still modeling now that you are a mum?

[@alanaveira9723]

HI Ruth I love your videos. I am using the new Nars velvet matte skin tint and I absolutely love it. should I use a primer from Nars or can I use a primer from another company. I ask because I feel like make it I use primer from another company it make affect your foundation.

[@RuthCrilly]

No, you should be fine to mix and match! : )

[@alanaveira9723]

Thanks Ruth

[@azazq8azazq8]

I had that question which always role in my mind and I guess you got the answer as a model What kind of tan the models used on stage?? I knew that sometimes they used airbrush body foundation / tan but is there any fake tan you recommend for that glowing golden bronze?? xoxo👸💕😘

[@RuthCrilly]

Lots of makeup artists just use MAC face and body x

[@pattikim3773]

Do you set these foundations with powder? If so, what do you use? Thanks!

[@pattikim3773]

Or just the Dior skin air glow?

[@rhiannon1251]

Hello 🙂 What is the longevity like for the Chanel foundation?

[@RuthCrilly]

Very good - lasts on me all day. x

[@ngocdiepvu1029]

Can you please make a top brushes video?

[@RuthCrilly]

Great idea x

[@Anamarie157]

Yes Please Ruth, I would like 2 see that also, as I am hopeless using a brush 4 foundation application ...thanks.

[@elizabethyates-paredes2848]

Always my favorite channel 😘😘 have a beautiful day ruth

[@RuthCrilly]

Thank you x

[@yuliaezhikova7971]

OK, I have to ask about that bare minerals complexion rescue... I absolutely can't use it over any moisturizer I have - it bunches up and looks really unappealing if applied on top. The only way I can use this product is on top of absolutely naked skin. Does anyone else have this problem?

[@RuthCrilly]

It's better on naked skin unless you have really really dry skin.. x

[@iameleanorhill5742]

Hi, what brush are you using? X

[@2000annielin]

is the nars pure radiant or bareminerals xomplexion rescue better?

[@ntrutt8428]

2000annielin nars has more coverage, bare minerals is more hydrating

[@cherylcollinson4711]

I want to 'bish bash' and looks fabulous too!!! lol xoxo
