I would love more videos like these. They are still comprehensive reviews about new-ish and popular products and I'm in the market right now. They're just practical and helpful for some of us when our foundations randomly stop existing or working haha Great work as always!

[@addisonsmithvazquez496]

I live in East Texas- last summer was one of our hottest ever recorded and I was full term pregnant. I work in marketing where I’m in and out of my car all day- the Maybelline SuperStay never dripped, came off with sweat… it stayed so well!

[@PWatts-ff2fd]

Good to know! Thank you for sharing your experience. I live in Phoenix, Arizona, so I have a hard time planning what to wear when I travel during the summer to places with high humidity. I might be going to New Orleans in August, so I definitely need a high heat, high humidity foundation. At the age of 62, I still have some hot flashes, as well, so that doesn't help. It's not as bad as being pregnant, because the hot flashes come and go, but it can still be very unpleasant.

[@maryd253]

I agree with the Super Stay. I love it.

[@stephanied9629]

Did you set with powder?

[@funsizedi88]

​@@PWatts-ff2fdI live in the high humidity of the mid Atlantic and im just starting peri/pre whatever menopause at 35 due to a hormonal coniditon. The freaking hot flashes are just no joke an I've got hormonal acne on my jawline/under my chin worse than my teens. So, I've been looking into makeup that's good for sweat resistance, high humidity and mature skin(even tho I'm not having that particular issue just yet). Any recommendations for hot flashes? I don't have a mother to ask unfortunately.

Almay is a good brand. You won’t get mile high lashes or holographic cheeks but the brand is a steady brand. And besides, who really wants holographic cheeks anyway?! 😊

[@makeupgrl24]

I freaking love that Maybelline Skin Tint! I went from being a full coverage matte foundation girl (revlon colorstay and estee lauder double wear), to the skin tint and my make up and skin looks soooo much better having a lighter coverage. I jsut wish more brands had more neutral/yellow tones. However as much as I love Ulta, buying drugstore items there is a no go for me, the prices are $3-5 more than at other stores.

[@c8creates]

I feel like the maybelline has just as much coverage as double wear and I want a lighter coverage. The wear time in it is amazing and wish my other skin tints lasted the way it does

[@makeupgrl24]

@@c8creates I definitely think you can get full coverage out of it, but I don’t even use a full dropper for my whole face and it looks great, my skin but better. And the slight glow helps it too! Maybe try to mix some with your SPF and see if you can get it lighter

[@KarenWilliams-hk4ee]

My local grocery store😅 carries a great variety of these at good price! ULTA. Is ano go for me as well.

[@danc6436]

Ulta offers coupons and has great sales, plus you earn bonus rewards. I buy from them because you can try the makeup and return it if you don't like it. Makeup is too expensive to be stuck with something that doesn't work.

[@barbarak8158]

I like it too! I have dry skin and was pleasantly surprised!

[@karenhecht2342]

[@SaraJean336]

I LOVE this format! I’d like to see half face/side by side comparison + wear test! I do this sometimes at home. Especially if they’re super similar. Not for a dupes purpose but help battle out the rankings!

[@angelachapman4415]

I still want physicians formula healthy foundation back 😟. I can't get over it- feel like nothing drugstore has compared since. I do have the No 7 one.

[@samanthahernandez6286]

Dollar Tree has a knock off of the L'oreal Simply Ageless foundation and primer. I love the foundation. It is so pretty. It is B-Pure Effortlessly Ageless. For $1.25, it can't be beat.

[@laurenbryant83]

I've seen that at dollar tree and was curious!

[@elm914]

I think they're discontuing the Loreal Age Perfect Serum foundation. It's disappearing in CVS's near me

[@randig7503]

Same 🖐🏼

[@hownaice39]

revlon is the only drugstore brand that makes fair olive foundations :\

[@ProfMary]

Good ranking video, Jessica! I totally agree with your #1 pick, The Loreal Age Perfect foundation is my fav of the drugstore and I am 73 with dry skin. Jen Phelps recommended Wet n Wild Photofocus stick foundation for a solid, easy for travel. It applies easily and blends easily and gives good coverage. You and I have similar skin tones and I use Soft Beige but could probably go one step darker. You might want to check that out. I would be interested in your opinion of it compared to the Age Perfect.

[@SarahCadge]

This video makes me miss that Physcian's Formula one 😢 but I'm so glad to have a new drugstore one to try!

[@Lynsi325]

The healthy foundation? I’m scraping my last drops out of an expired bottle. 😭😭😭

[@mandiwolfe6631]

I'm down to the laaaaaaast lil bits scraping the sides with a tiny spatula. Still sad they discontinued the healthy foundation!

[@angelaggarrido7816]

I thought they had it again but only through Amazon.

[@moniquevanni]

I could not for the life of me understand the hype with the true match until I learned to apply very little and with a sponge and now it’s my absolute favourite. First brush applications it looked so gross…

[@darleneurso5928]

I find on me it looks best when I apply it with my fingers. It gives a very natural look. I totally agree that less is more.

[@arieltutko1]

I mix the True Match and the Maybeline one together for the best final look! I know you don’t love to mix foundations but give it a shot before decluttering!

[@carenscott3105]

I remember when you first started using that L'Oreal Age Perfecting Serum one and you sold me on it too! 🤩 Honestly think it's been one of my top two favorite foundations as well. Thank you for putting this together- i definitely need to get something new as my current make up is aging out.

[@jay311xoxo]

This was great I love this keep this kind of drugstore content coming do one for bronzers, one for blush…..

[@echobend6]

Thank you for mentioning your other favorites! I always want to know how products KZbinrs try compare to their favorites. If you like it but wouldn’t rank it above a favorite product, that’s super useful to inform my purchasing decisions.

One of my favorites is the wet n wild tinted hydrator!

[@laurajohnson7836]

[@lorrilewis2178]

Yeah, it works for me too. I tried the reformulated version after a makeup artist said it was the best overall foundation at the drug store.

[@jackiestone5808]

These types of videos are SO helpful thanks! More please!

[@av4275]

That's funny. The True Match looks flawless on my skin. I have normal to combo skin. I would 100% recommend! Lol

[@thektndrws]

Same! I love how versatile True Match is, because you can sheer it out or build it up as needed, and it always just looks lovely on me. It does get a little dewy on a really hot, humid day, but it still doesn’t separate or get gross. Good to know how it performs on various skin types, though!

[@kristiturner1102]

I’d love a series on powder foundation! Can be a combo of high end and drugstore, but you’ve got me wanting to try a powder foundation lately. I just don’t know which I want to start with.

[@cassandraanderson3314]

I second this ❤

[@ivettemartinez-sx9hq]

I’ve been using L’Oréal infallible 24 hour fresh wear foundation in a powder and love it, I started using it for travel so it would be less liquid since we only go with carryon.

I just had this green on my nails, best spring/summer color! 💚😍 I’m not usually a maybelline girl, but this skin tint is my go to. It’s so light weight, great coverage, doesn’t look heavy, & great for humid Florida weather! Even covers up my acne scars really well. Don’t even need to set the makeup.

[@cararichman1729]

Oooh, i'm in Florida so I may need to try it. It's been BAD heat and humidity wise; I wasn't ready for it so soon haha

[@juliewells4282]

Does the reformulation still have that strong Noxema scent?

[@marylove909]

​@@juliewells4282No ..they have reformulated that while line to take that scent out, which I was happy about because it used to aggravate my eczema

​@@TriciaHaynes-q2z It's in a squuzey tube now. I got it on Amazon. I haven't seen the re-formulated version in stores yet.

[@DLF1122]

We all have such different skin and needs. The L'Oreal True Match looks best on my skin from the many drugstore foundations I have tried. The Maybelline looks ok on me, not my favorite. I haven't tried the L'Oreal Age Perfect because I tend to be oily even though I have mature skin, so I fear it will slip off my skin. I haven't tried the #7. A 24-hour claim seems unnecessary, but it means that for us who are oily, it will wear better for the 10 or so hours we wear it, or it will be more transfer-proof, which I prefer. Some professions work double time or long hours, firefighters often work a 24-hour shift, and nurses frequently 16 hours, so those claims are appreciated by some. I do trust your opinions, so I will give the L'Oreal a try.

[@s4hg663ws]

The maybelline super stay is one of the best base products I’ve used in a long time!

[@PWatts-ff2fd]

I prefer the L’Oreal True Match Nude formula (in the dropper packaging, although I ordered a pump on Amazon) to the traditional ‘True Match.’ Definitely worked better for me, even though it contains alcohol.

[@stephanievicente5749]

This video is great… I was going thru your videos to get what was your opinion on the maybelin foundation… 😂😂😂 and today I got my answer ❤❤

love this video!! theres so many products that all do similar things it can be pretty confusing as a beginner, would love to see more comparisons like this! maybe next time on concealers? theres a lot of hyped up ones that im curious about

[@jkschnik6952]

I really like the Revlon foundation, I also really like the Loreal serum foundation at least partially because Loreal Nude Beige is a perfect match to my skin so any Loreal foundation line that has Nude Beige will match my skin. The Perfect Match when you described it reminds me of the Catrice True Skin foundation-you can see the foundation on my skin so it doesn't blend it for me. Yuck!

[@janai8874]

I love this style of video - comprehensive break down and comparison of a few popular offerings in one product category. I have combination oily skin with textured patches and some signs of aging (35 years old), and my top two foundations are the Physicians Formula Butter Believe It foundation and the Essence Pretty Natural foundation. PF is amazing buildable medium-full coverage, and the Essence is my go to for light-medium coverage. My biggest priorities are that my foundation looks skin-like and is transfer/crease/humidity resistant. I loved the No 7 Stay Perfect foundation once upon a time, but I am a pale princess year round and Calico (lightest shade) was too dark on me even in the summer. Taylor Wynn has great videos on the PF and Essence foundations, and I know Jessie loves her channel too. ❤
