NEW! ESTEE LAUDER FUTURIST HYDRA RESCUE MOISTURIZING MAKEUP SPF 45 REVIEW |

[@BC-dm5bi]

A stiff stippling brush in those larger pore areas fixes it most times...and a finishing powder vs normal setting powder also helps minimize pores and gives more of an airbrushed look vs those dots. Hourglass ambient lighting powders do miracles for this. A dry sponge over those areas also gets Rid of the polka dots. No matter what foundation I use, on my nose and cheeks I always get the polkadots so the only way I have found to get rid of that is to use a very fine finishing powder such as the hourglass and sometimes will still need to take a real stiff stippling brush and just pounds on those areas or use a dry blender and press hard and that tends to smudge it out where it doesn’t show as collecting in pores and giving the polkadots. I like the nice Dewy look but you do certainly have to work with it if you have any enlarged pores. I’m 53 and that’s the only way I’ve been able to find aware of these luminous foundation’s without having the pore issues

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Thank you Renee!!! Great tips! I love Hourglass Ambient Powders. xoxo

[@nosleep7357]

Thank you, thank you! Need all the good tips I can collect on thid subject!

But that is just too much work to try to fix the foundation. I just have to avoid it in the first place

I'm obsessed with this new Estee foundation it last all day on me and makes my skin look smooth and perfected it's definitely in my top 3 foundations.

I love this I used to have larger pores and now I don’t I’m 52 and Niacinamide has helped me with my skin issues have helped so much Then once again Skincare is a science Makeup is an art

[@paulmahoney6313]

That Sisley loose powder can make any foundation look good it reminds me of the old la mer loose powder before they changed the formula. The la prairie skin caviar foundation is amazing it stays on all day and looks as fresh as the moment you applied it.

[@ThruTheLukingGlass17]

If you used a pore filling primer in those problem areas I think this foundation would work well for you. I’m 40 and I love this foundation. It actually hides the couple of fine lines that I have and gives me a very youthful appearance. Worth every penny of the $45!

[@makeupjunkie723]

I just got this and I loved it the two times I wore it so far. Made my skin look so skin like. Not heavy looking. I never buy Estée Lauder products but I was curious to try it since it’s so similar to tom ford

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

YAY!!! I am so glad you are loving this! I have to say it is a great alternative to the Tom Ford. xoxo

[@AboutFaceWithMonaBagot]

Audra - I was never big on Estee Lauder but my 2 current favorites are this one and the Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv foundation!

[@elvadrum8539]

It looks lovely! I have it in 2W1 Dawn and it matches my skin perfectly. I’ve ordered 2N1 Desert Beige in the Doublewear for winter so we’ll see how it is. Guess what! I also have a 4W1 Honey Bronze in the Futurist for bronzing and to add to my foundation when I’m tanned. I’m so excited about these foundations!

[@annefrazer6629]

I have had this foundation for a few months and wanted to compare it to Chanel CC cream with spf 50 which I love. It glides on my skin smoothly and is a nice medium coverage. I can skip concealer most days with either.

[@vickizsecrets]

I picked up this foundation over the weekend and have worn it every day since. I absolutely love the finish and longevity. Thank you for your review!

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

YAY! I am so glad that is works for you Vicki!! I actually really thought this would be a winner for me too! xoxo

This foundation looks gorgeous on you...I personally LOVE the Estee Lauder Hydra Rescue foundation!!

Wonderful review video! I have been waiting to see and hear your comparison of the Estee Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue Foundation and the Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate foundation. I TRUST you and can ALWAYS count on you to give a thorough and unbiased review! Because of your wear test and findings, I am going to pass on both of these new launches. I am anxious now for you to try the BR serum foundation when it launches in the US!!!!

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Thank you Espree!!! AND I cannot WAIT for the BR Serum Foundation.... I hope it is sooner rather later! I will keep you posted. xoxo

[@heatherjane910]

I’m 51 with dry/normal skin, as well, and have the same “pore situation” as you with dewy foundations. What’s your favorite skin-like foundation? I like to look as natural as possible with some coverage.

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Heather I really like Chantecaille Future Skin for a hydrating yet NOT dewy foundation. This is very natural with light coverage. I also love the Surratt Dew Drop Foundation. xoxo

[@staceyglenn2171]

Heather Elzinga try Merle Norman perfecting. On a whim I bought it . I’m 53 wore Merle Norman in my 20,s and over the years just went on to other things and forgot about them. The perfecting makeup was light on my skin and beautiful .

[@elizabethshurtleff4355]

Wow 😯 you look like you’re in your 40s not 51! You are really beautiful ☺️ I appreciate your videos bcuz it’s helped me pick out which products buy. I bought this cuz it’s kinda what I was looking for and I may try a primer under to help with pores showing. It looks stunning on you! 💕

[@ladydbahamas]

Thank you for the review of this product. I am always on the lookout for a foundation that has a good, working sunscreen in it. So far 3Lab Perfect BB spf 40 is the best despite it’s light coverage. I also notice when I put on a sunscreen before my foundation that I have the exact same problem as you show in this video regarding pores.

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Thank you for sharing! The dilemma for me is that I want to love this but I am going to use my own SPF before all my foundations because I just don't trust my makeup to give me that kind of SPF protection that I need. I am going to check out the 3 Lab Perfect BB!! xoxo

[@samantarizzi248]

The packaging reminds me so much of YSL All In One Glow foundation, you are right! I’m curious about it but for now I’ll skip, because I just bought the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua and that’s really expensive (but so worth it, I love it!). 😃 This actually looked really good on you, Abby!

[@alisastanfield6362]

Thanks for the review Abby! Your skin is so fantastic, even in the extreme close ups. It does look very glowy and pretty on your skin...but I sure don't need anything that emphasizes my pores.

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Thank you for watching Alisa!!! And there are MANY things I like about it but that PORE thing is really driving me nuts and you can really see it in the mirror in the CAR. I think that might have to be the new barometer to check ALL foundations. LOL!!!

[@nosleep7357]

But you can see things in that car mirror that NEVER show up otherwise. Have noticed this since I was 25. I'm now about 20 years older than you.

[@VDR928]

I absolutely LOVED this foundation for my 64-year-old-skin! It lasted all day with no settling. I did use a primer.

[@SSaaNNddYY77]

I love this foundation soo much! I was so upset when I found the perfect foundations over the years only to have them discontinued. If Estee keeps this one, I'll be very pleased. I hope since your video has been up for a while that you have found that you love this. I heard that less is more with this foundation so I use just one pump. With radiance foundations it's best, in my opinion, to just use enough to cover. I'm so happy that I ordered this online without even sampling it. I don't want to wear my other foundations and they just might be thrown out.

[@wendyraye]

I agree about holy grails being discontinued! My favorite of all time was Urban Decay Naked Skin original. Feels like nothing but covers. Sooooooooooo bummed it was discontinued - I feel like a ton of people said it was their holy grail, and I don’t think those people love the replacement, so why not bring it back? I feel like it was a mistake for them to do that.

[@alicem1111]

You are the only person I’ve found that mentions the little white speckles! It happened to me too. It looked fantastic from far away but I couldnt get past the little specks on my pores (the spf maybe?). I don’t usually have texture there either. I wish I saw your review earlier.Ultimately, I sent it back.

[@dawnmolero1775]

Thanks for the super close ups. Not many reviewers do that. It really lets us see what you are talking about. I'm the same shade as you and I love this one. I don't get polka dot pores from it. I do have that issue sometimes. It happened with the new Fenty one for me. I've noticed in the past if my foundation is moisturizing but I've already went heavy with my skincare it can happen. Also if my skin is red (which it usually is after I apply anything) it shows and then settles down after the redness subsides. One of those annoying makeup mysteries.

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Thank you Dawn! I feel like I am SCARING people but I also want people to see the POLKA DOTS - so they don't think I am crazy because from a far the foundation looks great - but UP CLOSE - not so much. AND yes- everyone's skin is different so this might work fantastic for some! Definitely little makeup mysteries! xoxo

[@rachelweinstein9008]

Thanks, Abby. Great review! I found this to be very helpful and informative. Still on the fence re: this foundation. You’re a joy! 💕🌹

[@lindaackerman3507]

I love the glow, I just bought the new l'oreal radiant serum foundation and I love it, and its only $15.99 at cvs. Its also glowy.

[@AboutFaceWithMonaBagot]

Abby- I have never been an Estee Lauder fan but right now my 2 favorite foundations are both EL. I am enjoying this one with a primer and powder but am loving the Re-Nutriv foundation even better! My skin may be more dry than yours.

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

That is awesome Mona!!! I have always been weary of EL just because I had such a reaction to the Double Wear and there are so many other brands but I am always happy when people find the HG's!!! So I am glad it is working for you and the other one. YAY!

[@staceyglenn2171]

Try Merle Norman perfecting makeup. I’m 53 , have dry / normal skin and it’s a beautiful finish

[@Skaterkid-v9]

This makes my eyes water all day. Do you think it’s the fragrance? It’s perfect otherwise. Any foundations very similar without fragrance?

[@beckyc.5743]

The first time I tried a foundation product that contained lavender oil (Jane Iredale) I had a reaction. When I returned the product, the SA assured me that lavender oil was a soothing addition: not for me. I wish companies would stop adding this to makeup and skincare products.

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Becky- I agree! I used to be a Bobbi Brown girl but then my skin got all fussy and one of her foundations broke me out terribly and it was the lavender oil. I have one other foundation that has some of that in it- that I can tolerate but not every day. It is not soothing to my skin either. xoxo

[@deborahrosen3324]

Hi Abby! So ironic, I just got a sample of this foundation in shade 2N1 and wore it today. I found that it wears beautifully on my skin! To me it almost feels like the IT CC cream. Its Super hydrating with great coverage. I think I’m going to get it for myself 👌. I bought the concealer that goes with this and it’s totally awesome! I’m glad to hear your review on the Tom Ford....I also have rosacea and don’t want to put lavender oil on my skin Thank you Abby for both reviews! Xoxo 😘 Deborah

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Thank you for watching Deborah and I am thrilled this one is working out for YOU!! I actually wanted to love both this and the TF one - but they are just not for ME! So fun that you have got a good combo going on! YAY!!! xoxo

[@laurenfalzone3739]

Omg this one did the exact same thing to me in the pore area! Almost like it was dry looking or something and very textured. I thought it was strange because I never had a foundation look like that before like you said. I wonder if its the high SPF in it? I just ordered the Surratt Dew drop and I'm excited to try that one out!

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

PHEW! I was beginning to think I was crazy - but I don't like that effect on the skin. And yes- you know what - both TF and EL contain a combo of SPF that I have never heard of before.... so maybe that is it! THANK YOU! xoxo

[@tracymcreations]

Everyone is raving over this foundation but I just can't. I got it and so far am unimpressed. I'm 57 with dry skin and this just settled into every pore and crack on my face. I'll stick with my It CC Cream

[@Giannas1096]

If I wear a foundation that’s slightly too light for me (especially with spf) I will get the white pore dots. I think one shade up will solve this problem.

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Thank you Gianna! This is so good to know!!! I had learned that high SPF will do that but had not considered the shade being to light as well. xoxo

[@janicecroissiert9116]

I recently got a 10 day supply sample. So far, I like it. Only tried it once, so I will need to wear more times to make sure though. We’ll see. Perfect color match, & love the spf and glow. I have to make sure it doesn’t do any gathering in my face. Oh boy. I have dry skin, so I need the hydration, even living where it’s 12 months of summer. I will skip the Tom Ford one altogether. You’re reviews are always helpful.

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Thank you so much for watching Janice and I am glad this was helpful!!! I am glad you are loving it so far! Very pretty GLOW! xoxo

[@MariTheAmateur]

Lovely review and glowing finish! I have the same aging issues around my marionette lines and try to avoid chemical sunblock when possible. I can’t wait to see you try the Biologique Recherche face product when it arrives in the US. Yes, that is a request 😋🌸

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Mari- so is that the deal? Chemical SPF causes these little polka dot pores?? And yes- I am ON IT! I am on the waiting list at Rescue Spa to get the BR Teint!!! I can't wait! Do you have it? Have you tried it? xoxo

[@MariTheAmateur]

Abby, I’ll wait for your review of the BR, but it’s the most exciting release of the year, isn’t it? I haven’t set up an experiment, but I do only seem to get the polka-dot pores with foundations that include chemical sunscreens. I’ll have to defer to those with broader foundation stashes. I only have 11 😜😱

[@nosleep7357]

Chemical sunscreens allow the heat of the sun to penetrate and enter the skin. (Minerals stop things from entering, and bounce things back off the skin) The UV rays, or sun's heat break down the supporting structures in the skin and face which causes pores to sag open after a few years of exposure to heat, etc. Of course pores are supposed to be adequate enough to supply our skin with needed oil and moisture.

[@KaraLey98]

No, it is the Liquid Zinc Oxide which causes the shiny look-- what some complain about a white cast, if its not so liquidy. Chemical sunscreens are considered "cosmetically elegant" bc they do not add any shiny, or gunky look.. It looks so much like the tinted sunscreens such as mostly mineral with the shine😞,, I don't like it at all.. butI now use it to mix in very small measure with other foundations, but only a tiny tiny bit. I donxt like to wear powder, so I can't really use this. There is no situation in which I only want to be seen from afar..😨

[@becs7117]

[@makeupjunkie723]

I get polka dots pores too w some foundations and I can never figure out why !

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Audra- that is my one beef! I don't get those polka dots with many of my other foundations so wonder what ingredient might be making that happen. I know I have pores but not all foundations emphasize them like this one and the TF one did. UGH!

[@matthewfernandez716]

Abby Bliss White the high spf content! That can make it happen unfortunately.

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

@@matthewfernandez716 THANK YOU! I was wondering why this was happening or what ingredient it was- this makes total sense and I use SPF on its own and don't really care for it in my foundation because my skin is finicky! Okay- now I know!! THANK YOU!!! xoxo

[@matthewfernandez716]

Abby Bliss White Exactly. If you put an spf on first and use a foundation without, it doesn’t seem to have that effect. Those really high spf foundations from IT do the weird pore thing as well.

[@makeupjunkie723]

Matthew Fernandez I have the same issue with my Bobbi brown foundation and it has spf too! That’s crazy! It also happens to me when I use silicone pore primers.

[@tanyawood275]

Oh dear, I have not seen a foundation do this, especially 2 of them! I wonder what it could be? I have never noticed anything like that on your skin. I know you well enough that you prepped your face as you usually do, hum......Years ago when the EL Furturist came in a liquid foundation it was my go to for years until they decided to discontinue it as companies often do, but I had no trouble with the liquid...thank you so much for sharing this with us!!! Love and Hugs!!

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Tanya- I think we got it figured out- both those foundation have similar mix of high SPF and that is causing the polka dot pores! And in general I prep my skin with my skincare and then SPF and let it sink in. I also figured out that most of the foundations that I truly love don't have SPF - so that now makes so much more sense. NOW- that being said - everyone's skin is different and may not react to SPF like mine does. So this does not mean that this is a bad foundation- just not one for me! xoxo

I’m crunching on my delicious shaved Brussels sprout salad as I watch this. It looks like you’ve confirmed the same problems I had with the Tom Ford.

hi abby, i’m wondering if buffing in your powder rather than dusting it would help. if you have the sonia g face one brush that would be perfect. it will be a pity if the only issue preventing you from wearing this foundation is its polka dot effect ! i am not keen on either this or the TF as they may be too dewey for my combination skin. i’m more inclined to get ultra le teint by chanel or the laura mercier one. AND i think i’ll go visit my aesthetician to see what they say about the biologique recherche tinted serum & also try it properly ! i tested it on my hand a couple of weeks ago but was doing so only mindlessly as i was in the midst of deciding on some creams & serums 😅

Hi Abby, I wonder if the pooka dot pores can be from an ingredient in the SPF that settles into the pores. The most time I have this problem is when I pick a foundation shade that is too light for my skin. I grounded my eyes with a little bronzer yesterday. I had to go get a license renewal photo. I looked good in person but I'm not sure how the pic will come out. I used the Natasha Denona Love pallette. I like it a lot but I'm not sure if it would be your vibe.

M Wall- yes- I think it is the SPF!! I tend to love my foundations that don't contain SPF - so this makes perfect sense now. AND I am so glad you tried the bronzer/grounding technique : ) LOL!

Marie-- I am SO happy it is working for YOU and to be honest- I am sort of surprised by this polka dot pore thing- I wanted to LOVE it! Same with the Tom Ford one.... but something is just not jiving and I don't really want to start using a primer just for the foundation if that makes sense? I have a million other ones. LOL!

[@unwindknitting]

I like it, but I don’t love it... I agree that it settles into my pores more than a lot of foundations, and I did use a pore filling primer.

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Stephanie- thank you!!! I don' t normally use a pore filling primer and don't want to start - just to use this foundation. Phew- I am not cray cray!!

[@gillianhall7250]

Thanks for this review, I was thinking of trying this as I like the double wear foundation but now I think I’ll pass due to the fragrance. I once had a lovely moisturiser from Estée Lauder which had a cucumberish scent, i loved the fresh smell and it felt great on my skin but something in it set off my (usually controlled) rosacea, my bet was it being the fragrance. I have too many foundations that I love to risk having a bad face week😂

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Gillian- I WILL tell you that I developed a few bumps and blemishes yesterday and am pretty darn sure it is a mix of SPF and the fragrance. MY skin truly only likes physical sunscreens or a mix of physical/chemical in moderation but after testing this out for a few days and another one - my SKIN is NOT happy. LOL! So the good news is that you are saving money!!! xoxo

[@gillianhall7250]

Abby Bliss White I’m definitely staying away from it then! Money to spend on other make up then, the new Chantecaille collection is calling to me🤩

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

@@gillianhall7250 LOL! Yep- that is a good way to think about it!! That collection is pretty!!!! xoxo

Hi Abby: Not surprised that the ingredient panel starts out pretty close to each other. Estee Lauder owns Tom Ford plus a zillion other cosmetic companies. There is bound to be overlap somewhere at sometime. By the way....found out from a Nordstrom contact I have that the new Tom Ford face/eye palettes for Spring 2020 will be released the last week of March. Keep an eye out! :) Also, tried again a sample of Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream. Funny how when you try things for the first time it may not be a hit but this time I feel a little differently about it. Remember when you would do reviews on this product when you first started on KZbin....you were the only one I knew that reviewed it at all. How do you feel about it now? Going down memory lane here.... ;) Thanks much!

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Ahh... I love me some MAGIC CREAM!!! I have gone through many of tub of that stuff. I have since moved on to my Dr. Sturm Cream Rich but still love Charlotte Magic! I may have to get some for old time sake. AND thank you for letting me know about the TF Spring Face palettes!! This is exciting!!! You are the best Donna! xoxo

[@hildawhincup2621]

So interesting that the Estée Lauder foundation which is identical to the tom Ford is 1/3 the price. This is now the 3rd item of tom ford products that has been called out. Eye shadow in a quad that was identical to a MAC one, a concealer from smash box that is identical and has twice as much product and half the price and now this. I do know that it is all under the Estée Lauder umbrella but come on if people are willing to spend for luxury then make it luxury. Do not dupe them anymore. I thank you for your honest review on this and so happy to see you chose the Estée Lauder. I find some foundations do that to my pores as well and the Surat, Sisley, Armani silk foundation and Chanel vital lumiere aqua and Les beige water tint do not give me the white pore look. I wonder if it is the sunscreen in it? 😘thank you

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Exactly Hilda! I totally agree! AND yep- I think we narrowed it down to the HIGH SPF in both of these foundations. My skin - in general - does not love SPF in foundations - so I think I am finally connecting the dots. LOL! xoxo

[@hildawhincup2621]

Abby Bliss White same thing happens to me and it just dawned on me what it is. Thanks again for all the info.

[@beverlysaylor7339]

Hi Abby! I wonder if you used a primer if it would help. I always use a primer, not a pore filling primer but the Hangover Rx Replenishing by Too Faced. I got mine last week but haven't used it yet. I've been loving the Laura Mercier Flawless Lumiere that I also go last week. It's really good! Tomorrow I'll try the EL and let you know. If it doesn't work out I definitely will be taking it back but everything I've heard so far has been positive, but everyone is different. I wish I could cut down on my foundations but I just can't....I love all my children...Lol! And I have 21 of them. At one time I had a lot more. I just love them all so much for different reasons. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this Abby.....on to the next one! xxoo

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Beverly - I am sure it would but since I have so many other 'children' that I love and don't have to use a primer with - it makes me pause. And I was told that we need a WARDROBE of FOUNDATION so don't feel bad. I love all my foundations too!! I just learned that it is the high SPF that is most likely giving me the polka dots and am also realizing that the foundations that I really love don't have SPF! BINGO - I am figuring this out. LOL! xoxo

perfect shade for you... pretty on you...

[@nevertooold6498]

This foundation looks very pretty on you. I saw Mel's review too and if this is similar to the Tom Ford foundation, then maybe people should try this one instead and save the extra $110.00+! Did you try primer with the foundation since this video? Maybe that will take care of the pores? Is does look pretty on you - and it's really not noticeable, I think we are always so much more critical of ourselves. Thank you for this video, I think it's very helpful! Take care, Ginny 😘😘😘

Abby, I’ve used a sample of it for a couple years ago now and don not remember about smell, sorry. I will try to get to a store and report back :) actually I do not get along with diors base ether.

Abby, I forgot that I actually have another version av capture Totale that I think is discontinued, the one in a tube with a pump. I have it in a dark shade and use as a bronzer/contour and love it for that. And yes, it has a smell... Yes, please continue the hunt, I’m with you! :)))

You get a free new IT brush with it at both Ulta, or on the IT Cosmetics website. If they don't get my shade in soon, I might order light Cool. They have a lot of shades but lots more in the medium, tan, and darkest shades of course., just liked when they only had a few shades in the other ones.

Quick question - do you use Niacinamides?

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

I don't really have pore issues in general so that is why this was so surprising because I have a bunch of foundations that never give me issues with showing pores and such. I do have the PC Niacinamide Booster Serum. I think for me and my fussy skin it is the higher SPF because I had the same issue with TF Shade and Illuminate. I love the finish on most of my face but for some reason I am getting Polka Dots with both these foundations. No biggy! I've got tons of other foundations I love and am so happy that this one works for you. Makeup is definitely fun and art! Totally agree. xoxo

[@butterfly-girl6867]

Abby Bliss White every ones skin reacts differently that’s for sure! I do find it plays best with a brush

Abby Bliss White is it full or medium? I’ve been sampling lots of foundations lately. I’m tired of the Estée Lauder Double Wear. I want a more natural foundation and then spot conceal. So far I’ve liked the Lancôme Renergie Lift.
