Oh I’m 48 and oily and find those mature age products actually help cut the oil. But I also gave up heavy full coverage foundations. I use skin tints or balms. So for me using those heavy creams at night and using the old age foundations work very well for me. But I’ve opted that I just want to even out my skin and not fully cover it. The fun thing about skin tints and some balms is you don’t have to exactly color match. That’s the problem I have. I’m pasty white and pink undertones with a bit of yellow. Anything in the pasty white range is either so pink it looks grey on my Casper the friendly ghost skin or too yellow I look unusually tan and sometimes it oxidizes to orange. Even most neutral colors sway either too pink or too yellow. I’m thrilled shade ranges have expanded. But in that they messed with the fair and light shades.

I dampen my brush with fix+ and this helps blend out any thicker types of foundation and concealer and have had zero issues with using the shape tape concealer either, the problem is so many products are suitable for some people but cannot be suitable for everyone as that's impossible. I struggle to like influencers that love every product they use for this reason because it's not possible for a product to suit all skin types.

I love shape tape. It's the only concealer I can use that doesn't crease - I don't find it thick and heavy at all, its a very thin formula and you only need a little bit. It's also great for 'no makeup days' as it can be blended really easily for light overall coverage.

Hahahaha! Yeah, I absolutely love it too but I have dry, dehydrated skin. I actually didn’t try it for the longest time because I saw it said normal to oily skin. For years I’d been looking for a good base for makeup that was moisturizing enough but helped my makeup go on nice and last well. I’d tried so many things and nothing worked. It wasn’t until a friend of mine with dry, dehydrated skin recommended it and I was like, “really? I considered it when I first started looking for something but it said normal to oily skin.” She was like, “what? Really? I don’t know why. I’d say it’s for dry skin people for sure.” So I got it and tried it and fell in LOVE. Annoyed because I would have tried it years before if it had been marketed towards dry skin like it should be.

[@lukecepheid4104]

I agree with most of these. The CT Flawless Filter has been a staple in my professional kit for quite some time-until I ran out. I used it extensively, particularly on male models who needed a more subdued highlight in photoshoots, as opposed to the effect you get from liquid or powder highlighters. However, it’s certainly NOT for everyone. That being said, small amounts can work wonders in seamlessly blending cream bronzers and blushes before the initial setting. But honestly, the price is not justified at all if you only need it for something very specific. I've switched to the ELF version for my clients now, and I can’t tell the difference. In fact, ELF is actually much easier to work with. As for Tarte Shape Tape, I straight up hate it. With L'Oréal Infallible concealer being available for a while now at a fraction of the price, offering the same finish, coverage, and blendability-but much less heaviness-I don't see any reason to even buy Shape Tape. Like if you're a snob and don't like drugstore, there's always Natasha Denona's... ENOUGH WITH THE SHAPE TAPE!

The Bobbi Brown Facebase is wonderful for me! Since having oily skin I also need quite little. It works for me, which I am surprised about.

[@Crochet_by_mic]

I used to love the flawless filter, but I find the elf works just as well so I use that now:) I don't wear much facemakeup but when I do want to be fun and wear some blush and bronzer I need a base to blend it in with better. A low coverage product like this that gives me a bit of a glow and doesn't show up on the skin too much is amazing:)

[@Whiskin87]

I use it the same way! I don’t do foundation, just blush and bronzer with the flawless filter on my cheek bones. I’ll probably buy elf when the CT runs out.

Except those hourglass compacts are not highlighter at all. They are used for subtle glow all over. They're really great if you want that glow from within looking vibe but don't want to use products that are oily or greasy to get the look. Hourglass is super subtle. You'd definitely be disappointed like Robert if you are expecting an intense highlighter.

@2degucitas with a brush. An excellent Ambient light dupe is the 'Essence Pure Nude Highlighter' baked compact powder....that tip came from Beautiful & Bothered Johnny and Kevin. You put it over any areas that get first light - above eyebrows, center forehead, upper cheeks, top of chin, cuipds bow, tip of nose. Any excess just brush away. It really is like a finishing powder. Super subtle glow.

The long three pan powders are ambient lighting finishing powder. Not a highlighter. They are to set the face. Not to highlight the face. They are not really pigmented more of a translucent powder. It’s suppose to give a a glow from within especially with flash photography. They were never meant to be used as a highlighter.

[@ButterKeks700]

Robert, having been working on counters for years, I need to wholeheartedly agree with EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT OPINION you have said in the above video.

I've recently begun using it just for a variety of reasons, not because of its reputation, and I quite like it. I use it more for blemishes and scar/pigmentation spots. Mine is the Shape Tape Contour Concealer though, so not sure how different it is to the other kinds. I've used some bad concealers in my time though so maybe my comparison standards are low 😅

I have only ever liked one Charlotte Tilbury product, which is her setting spray. That stuff is amazing for me. I use it to prime and set and my makeup is LOCKED in. Otherwise, I've been really underwhelmed by that brand. So many other brands have better products for a fraction of the price.

[@LaMorenitaDivina]

Textured, porous, oily woman of 50 so strictly speaking, not “mature skin” in the sense people usually mean it. The wrinkles are few but the webbing is there on my cheekbones. 1. I love the idea of any stick foundation and would especially like a Fenty shade match (am also olive brown). But I never met a stick foundation that didn’t just sit on my skin like greasepaint and wear away in patches, no matter how it’s applied, and the Fenty stick was no different. 2. This is the first time I realised that Face Base is marketed for OILY skin, and all I can say is WTF NO! Dry smooth skin? Definitely. 3. I fell for the hype and thought that Flawless Filter would give me a nice natural glow under my current foundation. Instead it magnified and accented every single imperfection on my skin, with the added benefit of shine - so I looked like an oily, pitted, creasy glazed donut. I ended up gifting it. I am absolutely willing to agree that this comes down to my skin type. I’m sure that’s true. But if Robert’s review stops one more person with my skin from pissing away their hard-earned cash, then I’m here to co-sign.

As a fellow textured, porous, oily woman, i wish i was aware that some products that say combination/oily skin friendly LIED about it. I have bought some stuff with matte finish/oil control tacked on it and went from flawless makeup to the krispy kreme classic within 1 hr😐

[@eviejameson4706]

OMG Thank You for calling out the Bobbi Brown Face Base! That's one of the only products I've ever truly regretted buying, and my skin is very dry, so it's not just oily skinned people having trouble with it. I've also never found a single CT product that works for me. The colours are way too warm. Shape Tape? C'mon, I mean what even is that? And I loooove the Wet 'N Wild concealer, too; I even find myself reaching for just that over far more expensive foundation/concealer combos. You made me feel like I'm not crazy vis a vis Hourglass, as well, because I can never find a shade I'd actually wear to even be able to tell if I like the formula. You're spot on about everything, as usual, Robert! Okay, here are my hot takes: I don't understand why people adore the Tom Ford eyeshadow quads or the YSL lipsticks/balms/etc. Yes, the packaging is great for both, but the Tom Ford shadows tend to have lackluster powder formulations, plus at least one of three colours never seems to go with the others. The YSLs might have great formulas, but I wouldn't know it because the color stories are always wrong for me. Of course, it's a lip product, so could I find a shade that would be pretty on me? Sure. But none of them are like, "Omg, wow, that's BEAUTIFUL!" and at YSL prices, I need to love the color or at least not have forty identical shades at home already.

[@briannabarone3289]

I agree on a lot of these. I do love my hourglass ambient lighting powders for setting my undereye and skin lightly. It works well for my skin. my skin tone is quite fair. I wish there was an alternative option that didnt have glitter. All the alternatives/dupes had glitter in the .

Completely agree, it's basically a liquid highlighter. Yes some people lime to wear it on its own but it's best underneath foundation, mixed in foundation or used as highlighter over foundation. I love it, it's the only liquid highlighter that doesn't have detectable shimmer in it. Now of course there are dupes.

@@nusaibahibraheem8183 not at all lol. Yes, they took the same idea of product, but the formula is far superior. I'm a professional makeup artist. The CT is trash on most people; it separates and has more detectable shimmer than the elf. I don't deny that it works for some people; if you enjoy it then that's great for you. But overall, having used both on a variety of skin types, the elf performs so much better. And yes, I've used it in the correct way.

Nobody’s using that freaking foundation now. It was all just ridiculous over-marketing, false hype, just so those influencers could possibly have a shot at an Hermes bag, or other expensive gifts or trips like that Mikayla got from the brand. Or, TirTir must’ve been paying good money for those influencers videos. I knew it was a gimmick from the start. Nowadays I know when something is being pushed hard, to avoid it…it’s just a marketing scheme. When I first found KZbin beauty, I fell for all those marketing schemes
