THE BEST FOUNDATIONS OF 2018!! YEARLY BEAUTY FAVORITES!!

[@IvoryCherry]

I loved that you did this last year and are continuing it again!! Absolutely love this idea! Happy holidays nikkia!

[@nikkiajoy]

Aww yay I'm so glad you're enjoying them!!! Happy holidays to you too lovely!!! xxx

[@eunicemulingtapang6081]

Hi Nikia, do you have any recommendations for a powder foundation? Instead of a liquid???

[@noemie7725]

I love that you include all-time favourites as well. A lot of these "Best of" videos usually talk exclusively about this year's products, but I want to know the best of the best!

[@veralimpens7600]

I really love the fact that you are still the same genuine spontaneous person after all those years on KZbin. Thank you!

[@agustinaalvarezbotta3935]

The Too Faced Peach foundation + primer + powder are the best for oily skin!! Recommend to all of you

[@xxSeVGoShxx]

I'm surprised you didnt include too faced peach perfect

[@allieg6401]

A nice mix of old faves and new faves to remind ppl of great products that are still available.

[@KimKong1011]

Estee Lauder Double Wear... Always, always my #1. A miracle foundation for me.

[@nikkiajoy]

Me too!! Love it so much!! xx

[@niadimitrova4112]

Nikkia, as soon as I started watching I scrolled down to see what’s on your eyes. Can you please put this in the description section cause it rocks!

[@keishadouglas840]

My holy grail foundation is the Smashbox Studio Skin foundation.

[@brittanymyers7552]

That's a great foundation! Haven't worn it forever I need to love doing that and being reminded how great products are.

[@janayasmith1788]

You are so consistent with your favorites, I love it! Ride or die team double wear 😆 I still can’t find one better

[@nikkiajoy]

Aww I'm glad you're enjoying!! It's the absolutely best isn't it!!!

[@janayasmith1788]

Nikkia Joy It is!!! Thank you for all of your HONEST recommendations, you’re awesome Nikkia 😊

[@andracorinavoinea]

Double wear is the best! 👍❤️❤️

[@SnuglebunyDeGroot]

Andra Corina it hates me

[@Ohkeh640]

Andra Corina double wear camouflage in the tube is the fucking bomb! Looks even nicer than the original. Not mask like and feels light on the skin and easy to apply. Love it. My fave

[@andracorinavoinea]

@@SnuglebunyDeGroot why?

[@andracorinavoinea]

@@Ohkeh640 I did not try it

[@SweetMelissa1775]

I love it too but Lancome is better for me.

[@beauty.addict9692]

🥰 oily Skin Gang 😬

[@nikkiajoy]

YESSSSSSS🙌🏻

[@bereaux94]

I’m not oily, I’m dry but I have texture & acne prone skin so I watch your videos because I can I guess make most foundations work if it looks good on my texture & doesn’t break me out. ☺️❤️

[@kimh5836]

Just got the double wear foundation last week and im in love!! Didnt think a foundation could look so good, even after hours 😍

[@MixxyGirl]

I love that you are doing a video for each category. Thanks for doing best ever 2018 round up videos! Cyo long lasting life proof foundation is my favorite foundation of 2018. It wears really well on oily skin & it's only $7 at Walgreens.

[@ames2502]

girl i'm 1:18 seconds in and you already sold me on the Estee Lauder foundation, I was eyeing this one for a while and I think I'm finally going to get it, thank you!!

[@SugaComa101]

The Cover FX Power Play foundation and concealer is my Holy Grail!

[@i-ch9831]

And it's cruelty free.. got to love it 😍

[@Stantheman12551]

I can’t get over how well you match your foundation. 😩😩

[@peytonbrooke8110]

Just the video I needed for my oily skin! I’m a double wear girl, but am looking to try something new for the everyday wear, so this video was perfect!

[@bhartisharma-sh6fy]

I am hooked to Estee Lauder DW just because of you Nikkia.. I Loved your reviews of it and just couldn't stop myself from buying it..

[@claudiaj.h.4789]

I'm 42, with rather dry skin and I discovered in 2018 for me...Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Foundation, Dior Backstage Foundation and Loreal Infallible 24h Fresh Wear. All 3 are beautiful and I use them all the time.

[@fredericabernkastel8354]

Caution! If you have swatched the original IT-Cosmetics CC-cream and choose the oil free one! The oil free ones are slightly darker than the original ones. As someone who's way lighter than the lightest shade this might be interesting.

[@nikkiajoy]

Thank you so much for sharing this!!! Very helpful :) xxx

[@briesha1518]

I found that out the hard way. I'm going to try mixing with the next lighter shade.

[@alysonbarcenas448]

Thank you! I'm waiting for Ulta to carry it here in the states before purchasing. But I want to try it SO bad

[@naasiraamin3241]

Great video, very helpful and love that you filmed it in product sections rather than all together, makes it easier to watch ❤️

[@simonemolly258]

No urban decay all nighter this year... you got me addicted to that and I still am. I need to live more and try some of these

[@CasualBunny]

Please do a Cover FX Power Play Foundation review 💗💗💗💗

[@nikkiajoy]

I really want to try this one :) xxx

[@CasualBunny]

I've been wearing it for two days now and omg it works better than the mac studio fix for my oily skin. I feel like this might work wonders for you and many oily skin gals.

[@taylowendy]

I love LOVE the Cover FX Power Play. It’s amazing and looks beautiful on the skin. Controls shine. It’s my fave for the year besides the Dior Backstage.

[@briesha1518]

I have been wanting to try it but was waiting on feedback from someone with oily skin. Thanks!

[@taylowendy]

Both foundations (Cover FX and Dior) works beautifully with the Becca Ever Matte Primer. Apply a sparingly amount of primer to your fingertips to emulsify, pat/press on oily areas, follow with the foundation, and set with Laura Mercier powder. Be prepared for a beautiful face ALL DAY LONG. No oil breakouts and your skin looks like skin. I can use about two to three drops for both foundations and get a full face using a stippling brush.

[@jenlauren143]

Nikkia I have and love most of all the foundation's you mentioned. You also have to try the Catrice HD liquid foundation! It's full coverage, matte long lasting, I mean one I my holy grails besides the Revlon colorstay foundation. Try it. It's beautiful! 💜💜💜

[@kelley1506]

Jennifer Maldonado one of my faves too!

[@bean5460]

You can't buy this in NZ I don't think so might be the same problem in Australia 😭

[@alliecockrell3500]

Jennifer Maldonado AGREED. Only foundation I’ve repurchased and I’m on bottle number 5!

[@shalondatavarez350]

Love this series!! As a person who loves beauty products and lives on a budget this helps a lot when purchasing products!!!!! Thank you girl 🙃

[@capturedangel139]

I agree with the Ester Lauder Double Wear foundation! I just started wearing it, and when I look at myself in the mirror throughout the day, I am amazed that my skin looks so good!!! Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!

[@whitneyhuskins3677]

My favorite foundation right now is the hello happy soft blur by benefit. I found my perfect shade match for the first time ever...also discovered my skin tone is cool undertones because of this foundation. Lol. Its light weight...doesn't gather in creases...stays on all day...wears really well...I just love it. I'm shade 5.

[@lochamb1234]

I've just returned home from Las Vegas... back to Northern Ireland. My make-up (full face of make-up) was on for 23 hours!!! My foundation was doublewear and eyeshadow was UD's cherry palette. My make-up stayed perfect, i had to powder twice and the only thing I had to reapply a few times, was my lipstick. Very very impressed

[@TheElleification]

I LOVE these videos Nikkia! I don't even bother with trying new foundation now unless it makes it to your top of 2018 list!

[@amyk6028]

Another fabulous video Nikkia!! If you have not tried Bareminerals Barepro liquid foundation yet, you simply MUST! I've been wearing ELDW for like, 100 yrs and just tried the Bareminerals Barepro a few months ago & cannot put it down. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! Possibly even more that my Estee Lauder 🤔

[@shelbielynne9609]

I have oily skin and I found the Bare Pro foundation to be insanely dry and patchy no matter how I applied it. It also got oily very quickly while still looking dry. How do you make it work?

[@amyk6028]

@@shelbielynne9609 Hmmmm. Interesting. I have never had it make my oily skin oilier? You do, however, have to really prep your skin before applying it. Exfoliate, then apply a good oil free moisturizer/sunscreen and let soak in for about 15 min before applying

[@JJ-yv7kt]

I love these videos so much! Thank you also for featuring so many affordable options. And please, I must know what lipstick you are wearing! It's so pretty.

[@jenrand-stan3179]

I have been usuing the Covergirl Trublend matte made and I LOVE it. It's my go to drugstore one now. It looks beautiful on my skin.

[@michellerodriguez4473]

I’m only guessing, but I can only use double wear during the summer here or it looks a little dry. During the summer though. 👌🏼 Perfect!! I have found that the cover-girl tru blend matte made foundation looks ridiculously natural on me. I can’t even tell that I’m wearing foundation. It’s beautiful and it controls oil very well. Super stay works well too but dries quickly and I have to mix colors. I’ve tried some others, but those are my favorite so far.

[@laurenr5095]

I discovered the makeup forever ultra HD foundation this year and I'm loving that. And I'm right there with you on the it cosmetics cc cream. Love it. Flower Beauty light illusion foundation is next on my list to try.

[@crystalgoudie]

What about the Lancome Teint idole? I personally love it waaay more than the estee lauder double wear😅

[@aileenthequeen111]

Yes yes yes! Glad someone said this!

[@SnuglebunyDeGroot]

Crystal Goudie neither likes me

[@xxSeVGoShxx]

Is it the ultra wear one?

[@crystalgoudie]

@@xxSeVGoShxx yes! It's less tacky and cakey than the double wear and doesn't feel as heavy.

[@jenniferlewisharris7761]

I especially love the Lancome Renergie Lift Makeup Foundation! It's my holy grail!

[@kellypalacios518]

The superstay foundation saved my life!! I started using it ever since you made a video about😍thank u very much for the recommendation!

[@chanifrost7055]

Always a pleasure to watch these yearly videos! So helpful and informative...

[@MsButterflysting]

Love these types of videos, they're so helpful! I have to replace my meager makeup collection due to the 7+ earthquake we had last day of Nov & its been a nightmare. But these are great recommendations to look forward to & save up for next year. Thanks for sharing & have a great day today! Happy holidays!

[@danicakes1772]

Doble wear!!! Hands down for me! I've tried so many and still come back to that one! Im thinking about trying the jouer one, has anybody used it?

[@amyhamaker7803]

I’ve been using the Fenty Beauty foundation, and am just trying the It CC cream-never would have chosen either of those if I hadn’t seen them here. I also use Wander Beauty’s powder foundation when I just want to throw something on-it’s surprisingly full coverage.

[@PerfectlyPreppy]

i have been looking for a new foundation! your makeup recommendations are the best!

[@clairekennedy8767]

Love your videos, funny see u here :)

[@xcustomadex]

I’ve been loving your videos lately and the best of series !!

[@wuinn655]

Estée Lauder my favorite for many years and more to come! I have been buying tons and next to try are he bh cosmetic one and the cargo swimming or something like that lol

[@jennifermiranda7674]

Your eye makeup is stunning. Great suggestions. Love these best of the year series.

[@merediths1429]

Haven’t tried a drugstore foundation in the last year. Excited to pick one up and test out.

[@l.c.8798]

I love this series!!! Btw, watching your subscribers climb like! 😲😲😲😲 you totally deserve it! Here's to another successful year(s!) for you!

[@taylormac253]

Thankyou for this video!! I have combination skin but really oily on my nose and chin, foundation never stays on my chin.. and I really appreciate your advice!

[@farmgirl7891]

Out of all of them if you could only choose one what would it be? I will go buy it right now 😍?

[@Featheredhome]

I love to mix my Maybelline Superstay and my Too Faced Born This Way foundations together. They give an amazing finish on my skin!

[@Bonafidevixen10032]

I agree with so many of your favourites. The superstay had been my fave. I was able to buy my shade off ebay and it's perfect!

[@carlyleyt]

Nikkia have you tried the Catrice liquid coverage foundation? I’m very curious how that will look on your skin and how you would apply and touch up that foundation. ❤️much love

[@claudiame]

Hi! Have you tried dermato-cosmetics? Like, Vichy Dermablend foundation, La Roche Posay foundation.. or anything alike? I wonder what would be your opinion.

[@azkaa.6385]

HI NIKKIA!!! Could you pls tell me what YOUR shades are for the L’Oreal Infallible Pro Matte Foundation, Maybelline Superstay Full Coverage Foundation & Cover Girl Matte Made Foundation? Thank you!

[@Eviltopia]

My go-to foundations are Double Wear and L'Oreal Infallible. I even mix them 50/50 in a separate pump and keep on hand. I am going away for the holiday and it is the only bottle of foundation I am taking with me from my collection.

[@brooklynhill1367]

Love your recommendations! I need to try the double wear! I’m obsessed with the L’Oréal pro matte and the covergirl true matte foundations as well. They are my absolute favorite at the drugstore. Thanks for the awesome best of 2018 series! ❤️

[@dimpyk6578]

Always buy the make up you recommend for oily skin.They really do suit the skin.Could you pls do updated concealer favs that works well with and without flash photography to wear on speacial occasions? Lots of love X

[@christywoods9180]

I mix th Infalliable total cover foundation with The proglow sometimes or the matte one sometimes and Omg It is such a Beautiful finish!

[@bojidarajupunova6144]

Girl, half of the stuff I own are recommended by you and double wear is one of those thing, absolutely gorgeous, thank you :) Happy holidays, Nikkia!

[@Rawlina7]

I find that picking good foundations is such a challenge so thanks for this great video! Love all the specific info that you give for each one :) xx

[@elyssamccoy758]

I actually hated the super stay. It separated on my skin, and didn't last. Idk maybe it's the primer I'm using?!. What did you all think. I'm using the younique primer

[@sweet_ener_]

Same hereee. It just wasn't for me. The oxidation is also horrible

[@AnastaciaInCleveland]

The Maybelline Matte + Poreles foundation might be a better choice for you. I paired it with the Elf Mineral Infused primer and the Matte + Poreless compact powder. The Fit Me loose powder may work with this foundation, too. HTH! Cheers! ~Anastacia in Cleveland

[@H_T94]

True it's not so good.

[@silentsomi]

I liked Benefit Happy foundation also , its like those last foundations u mentioned, light weight and medium coverage but look beautiful on skin

[@Halseyismyrealname]

I use the hourglass vanish stick with the maybelline 24 hr and it is the money amazing combination. I swear they were meant for each other it is insane. I like all the foundations u mentioned. I’m glad u mentioned the Maybelline one. I think it is the single best foundation of the year ❤️💋

[@carissarochelle9408]

Definitely adding all of these to my must try list!💖 I love that maybelline one, tried it after your review video and fell in love!

[@freebird1599]

ELDW is currently on my face and I bought it because of you! Found your channel last year because of your best of 2017....1M soon I bet!

[@lawalasg]

Happy holidays Nikkia! ♥️ I’ve been loving Tarte Rainforest of the Sea and Dior Backstage foundation. They are literally like satin finish! And they don’t feel heavy at all! 😍😍 that is my go to foundations all day everyday!

[@Lilliz91]

Honestly I have used double wear for years now and it makes me look the best. However it does break me out a bit when I use it a lot.

[@JeanC...]

Too Faced Peach Perfect Foundation 🙌🏼 My first purchase ever of a high end foundation and I fell in love with it, luckily I have a yellow undertone and that's why it works for me 😃 I wish they made more pink undertones and neutral ones so that more people could enjoy it because I agree the shades tend to be very yellowish.

[@ChrystalVanDusseldorp]

I wear the It cosmetics matte CC cream every day and I love it! I also have the Maybelline Superstay and Covergirl Trueblend matte for days when I want more coverage, they're both awesome as well. I just got a sample of the hourglass primer you love so I'm excited to try and see if it works as well for me too!

[@jessicamattingly6879]

I wish I could see you in person so you could help me. My oily skin and figuring out what is best of me is such a struggle.

[@Lucilabrit]

I just bought the Maybelline super stay and I am so excited ! I know I'm going to love it since I have oily skin and I'm a fan of full coverage foundations!😍🎄 Merry christmas Nikkia💓

[@kaitjonyl]

I love the IT Cosmetics CC+ range! I haven't tried the one you have yet but I love the regular CC+ & the Illumination one! Another few of my favorites this year, CP No Filter Stix, Loreal Pro Glow, & Makeup Forever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation & their Ultra HD Perfector Blurring Skin Tint with Sunscreen 😍💖

[@OmegaMacheteStorm]

I agree that the double wear foundation is one of the best. When I went cruelty free with my cosmetics though, I had to find a replacement. Took a while, but I would recommend Bare Minerals Bare Pro foundation. I still think double wear is better, but I think the Bare Minerals one is maybe just one step or possibly a half step down and worth a try!

[@alexasandovalrivera9549]

What about Fenty? I haven't found a foundation better

[@clairewhitcher6875]

Nikkia I’m getting married in April and doing my own makeup. I was planning on using double wear because it lasts so well on my nose but do you think studio fix would be better in photos? Thank you so much xx

[@shelbielynne9609]

I have oily skin and I've gone through like 5 tubes of the original IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream. My only gripe with it is that I have to use a white mixer because their lightest shade is a disgrace. But the formula is so good that it's worth it. I've also fallen in love with the Tarte Amazonian Clay Airbrush Powder Foundation and DDB Confidence Creamy Powder Foundation ( unfortunately discontinued this year.)

[@swatiparashar5923]

Hi Nikkia... love your videos. They are simple to follow and you do a terrific job. Please could you do a video on makeup brushes!!! Brushes 101.... pls pls pls

[@xxPixieChicxx]

Love these type of videos 💖 I would love to see you do this eye look, so pretty 😍😍😍

[@TheEagleslover]

Loved this and your picks are spot on. Merry Christmas Nikkia, Brandon and Georgia.

[@Jordan-ro1xz]

I love this! So hard to find good foundation when you're so oily!! Love her for continuing to do this 😍🤘

[@thatgirlnicki160]

my favorite foundations at the moment are the nars sheer glow and the Laura mercier flawless fusion ultra-longwear foundation, but I have combo skin that is more dry than oily!

[@brittanymyers7552]

Nars natural radiant, double wear, huda, and bobbi brown skin longwear and lancome teint ultra are my top foundations. I have so many their my weakness lol the new makeup forever matte is super lightweight. I just bought the beauty blender foundation and love it so far I agree about the packaging!

[@Mollyjean2014]

I’m so glad Covergirl is now cruelty free. I would love for you to do more indie cruelty free cosmetics. They need more love and attention.

[@recapiad5270]

Hi nikkia. I have the same skin tone as you. Would really appreciate it if you wrote down what shades you are for the foundations you featured in this lovely video. Thank you!😍

[@roxanaruizgrayson1010]

I like the Maybelline and I am excited to try the new CoverGirl Matt made. I just bought it ! Bc of ur review ♥️

[@sugarhill327]

The only two I don't have yet are the jouie and the Marc Jacobs foundations. I have oily skin as well and have been following you for awhile. I used the maybelline 24 superstay. Loved the look but it rubbed off on my coat and my uniform. Estee Lauder and Fenty beauty are my only two favorites for now.

[@geminisun12]

I’ve been eyeing that jouer foundation for a minute and I went ahead and got their sample online 😄. Thanks for the suggestion 👌🏼

[@wilmapagan3434]

Hey Nikkia! Thank you for all the great advise this year! Looking forward to seeing you in 2019! Just to let you know that sadly the Estée Lauder Double wear did not work for me!😢😢😢 used it with the hourglass mineral veil and the Laura Mercier translucent powder and it was cakey! Just a hot mess! So yeah! So far sticking to my Kat VonD foundation for now! But thank you! Happy Holidays!☃☃☃☃

[@amelievern1674]

Try bb cushions! Korean ones like the Innisfree Matte cushion, Laneige Pore Control, Superface BB cushion, etc!

[@aileenthequeen111]

I loooove the Este Lauder Light foundation and they discontinued it! They tried to match me with the original DW and the color closest to me was nothing like my skin shade. I switched over to Lancome!

[@maybutterfly7356]

Thanks Nikkia for another great review video. I’ll have to try out my Covergirl and L’Oreal foundations again. I got my Covergirl primer out again after your last video and loving that again too.

[@ekotsaga87]

Love Covergirl BB cream and revlon full cover foundation they work good on my oily skin! Estee Lauder, Too faced, Cover fx make my skin so dry and emphasize a skin texture 😭

[@dorothyleeuw8774]

Hi Nikki's. Can you recommend a foundation for mature skin. I have the Jouer but it enhances my wrinkles. Maybe to full coverage. Thankyou.

[@hannahashpole79]

Loved the series last year glad it’s back for this year. Just one request. Can you keep the drug store and high end items in one section and do the other one rather than mixing them in. The same way you did the primer 2018 video thanks Nikkia xx

[@23cpshane]

Been waiting for these top of the categories since November!!! ❤️ 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😘

[@23cpshane]

Please try ETDW light for a light day wear cos it’s very oil control and last all day!

[@priscillagarza9868]

I’ve been loving the Two Faced Peach Perfect Foundation 💕 it’s my holy grail. I have oily skin and this wears beautiful 😍 Please review the best setting powders of 2018 👌🏼

[@shody321]

Im not sure if you've done it but id love you to review the new Cover FX foundation and concealer. thanks Nikkia!

[@dianabarragan6564]

started accutane and skin got really dry but the covergirl trublend looks amazeballs! thanks nikkia💜💜

[@tangiebrown8892]

Merry Christmas Nikkia!!! Love your channel. Maybeline super stay is my fav!!
