Ranking ALL The New High-End Foundations From Worst To Best! *Chanel, Dior, Charlotte Tilbury, NARS*

[@2009socalgal]

I tried both the Chanel No 1 and Beautiful Skin foundations only and completely agree with your ranking them number 1 and then 2. I think Chanel really started the year off with a bang - first the Mediterranean collection and then this collection. Great video, Jena!

[@JenaFroese]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@Ajlatango]

I would love to see you rank all of the luxury foundations that you’ve tried not just this year

[@JenaFroese]

Oooo good idea!

[@debcollins8231]

Me too. I am so happy you showed up in my feed. I watched a few of your videos and quickly subscribed. I am on a mission to find the best foundation for me. I don't care what it costs. Lol

[@flocali3270]

Yes…ME TOO!!

[@janbazar]

Just bought the Dior Forever Skin Glow Foundation and couldn’t be more pleased. I bought the 1.5 shade. As a mature woman who lives in the north, it was perfect for my dry, sensitive skin. After a few wears, I went back to Sephora and bought the coordinating concealer.

[@JenaFroese]

So happy to hear you love it! It’s lovely :)

[@tonyasuttie3296]

It hasn’t broken you out? I’m interested in trying it, but I worry about the fragrance and SPF

[@janbazar]

@@tonyasuttie3296 No, not a problem at all and I am sensitive. My Sephora salesperson turned me on to it and I couldn’t be more pleased. I am a makeup junkie and at 72 have tried many, many lines. But, bottom line is all skin is different.

[@BlingyBea]

@@janbazar what is your skin type, I’m a dry skin 68 year old.

[@janbazar]

@@BlingyBea I am 72 with dry, sensitive skin. I have tried plenty…so far this works well with my skin. All I can say is give it a try…Dior is a good brand for mature skin

[@lavayuki]

I was never a fan of Chanel or Dior foundations due to the amount of fragrance and they make me break out, but these seem to not have any which is great! I'm glad fragrance is becoming less common now. But NARS have always been my favourite for complexion products. Other than their soft matte, I loved all their foundations and concealers so far especially the radiant longwear foundation and the cushion foundations, so am defo getting their new one. They also have my exact shade :)

[@savanah1407]

Jenna you are the best! Thank you SO much for telling us what shades you have in each because I have been struggling to determine which Chanel foundation shade I should order. I don’t have anywhere nearby to get shade matched so you’re a life saver! That is interesting that the Dior foundations placed below the Charlotte Tilbury. Thank you as always for the in-depth reviews

[@gg6402]

I prefer light wonder than beautiful skin too. Beautiful skin takes time to blend and apply. Light wonder is a slap on/ blend and perfect finish!

[@lewisbyrd7547]

I need to get a new foundation and was wondering what one I would prefer CT or Chanel, thanks to your very informative video Chanel makes the cut. The fact that I’m probably 40 ish yrs older than you is a testament to how much I like your opinions & taste. Thank you very much for the good information

[@rachelg315]

Thank you so much for doing this video. I’m so glad the Chanel is your favorite because that was my intended next foundation purchase. 😊

[@greenbeauties]

I still got a slight oxidation with the newly reformulated Dior skin glow, I haven’t tried the old formulas, but the new one oxidises into a pink/reddish shade which contrasts with my pale olive/yellow neck

[@Lulu-Walker]

The old formula also oxidises, I ended up looking like an oompah loompa. I finished the product up as I don’t like waste by mixing it with lighter shades but I wasn’t impressed at all.

[@melanieking1849]

Chanel No 1 foundation is stunning! In fact, love the entire line!

[@alejandraislas5890]

I was asking myself that same question!!! For me 24 h wear means that it will last from the 6-7 am when I get ready before work until 9-10pm that I will wash my face (24h is longer than 16 h of my day)

[@JenaFroese]

Ooo that makes sense! :)

[@Mamado88]

I have the NARS and CT, the NARS I get a beautiful glass like finish on my dry skin and is super hydrating. The CT I’ve only worn once and while it wears great it’s quite a bit heavier than I’m used to and I don’t find it as glowy as everyone else seems to! It also doesn’t come in a light enough shade for me. I’m going to try mixing them both tomorrow as I think it’d make an amazing combo.

[@rosie58843]

This is a great video! Thank you! I would love if you could show us swatches of all of them together so we could get a better idea of the different undertones. I always have such a hard time choosing the right shades.

[@annemarietimmerman7213]

Great video dear Jena, thanks!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩They only one i'm interested in is the Nars, as the opinons about the CT are quite mixed, and Chanel and Dior can't stop putting fragrance in their foundations, that's always the same. But the Nars, maybe, i think its a quite nice one!!!! Thanks and have an amazing day!!!!😘😘😘😘

[@sarahwebb2875]

I love nars and dior foundations they look good on my skin. Mix them together once and it look filtered. I need to used up some foundations so I can get nars new one

[@JenaFroese]

Ooo lovely! I want to try mixing them :)

[@sarahwebb2875]

@@JenaFroese I had nars luminous and dior forever foundation before they had a matte and glow one. Nars had the staying power and dior had the filter like together was foundation dream

[@betigrey5910]

I agree with you Jemma on Chanel no 1! I’m usually not that much of a Chanel foundation lover. I like them but I think there are better on the market. This Chanel No1 though blew my socks off! I stopped using anything else because when I do all my other foundations look dull or suddenly cakey in comparison. Thank you for the comparison and review! It solidified my opinion to just stick to the new Chanel foundation!

[@judithcatlett8518]

Your number one really surprised me. No one talks about Chanel foundation anymore. I’m not complaining though.

[@monicason67]

Great review, I have been wondering which one to pick . Thank you!!

[@reneejunette9952]

Thank you for the ranking. I bought the new Chanel n1 foundation and I think the foundation gives a very beautiful, skin like finish. Plus a foundation a shade that blends with my skin perfectly. Also I’m so jazzed that I was able to buy it at Ulta and didn’t have to drive to 45 minutes to a Nordstrom’s to get it!!

[@JenaFroese]

Ahhh amazing!! Enjoy Renee 🥰

[@gaylefw5072]

Great video Jena. They all look beautiful on you. Your eye shadow is fabulous; I just love pinks. Hope Harvey is well too 🐕🐶❤ xo

[@traciewarren1070]

I am thinking about the Chanel foundation. I am torn between this and the Ultra Le Teint. I am always skeptical of all the skincare claims. As you mentioned, we will know if the skincare claims are valid because we would have to wear the product for a while to see benefits. I just want a foundation and get my skincare from my skincare products. Thanks for all the insight and thoughts on these foundations.

[@1tagardina612]

Thanks for this video Jena! All these foundations look interesting to me and a ranking video helps me!

[@runaalamgir7112]

I have just tried the New Chanel foundation, it blends soo smoothly, and very natural. I almost bought Dior Natural Nude but now confused between Dior Natural nude and Chanel no 1..pls do a video over your eyelook in this video, it's so beautiful 😍

[@vickipalmeri7649]

Hi Jenna, for some reason this video popped up on my list to view and when I read the list of foundations that you were reviewing here, it just so happens that it's the same 5 foundations that I had just picked up samples of to try myself. I have been using Lancome Renergie Lifting foundation for over twenty years and decided I wanted to give something new a try. And guess what? The shades that you listed are also the shades that they recommended and provided me with samples. I am 61 years old and up until a couple of years ago, I had oily skin and now I would say I have somewhat normal or combination skin depending on the weather and other factors. Thank you so much for this very informative video. I am going to subscribe to your channel. Take care.

[@xine1996]

Thanks for the video. I already have the CT and I'm excited about the Chanel, the Dior Forever Skin glow and the nars (which are both not available yet in Germany).

[@JenaFroese]

Yay!! Thank you Maxine ❤️ Hope it’s helpful for you:)

[@xine1996]

@@JenaFroese oh yes, it was 😍 Im rather going to take a look for the nars or the chanel, than for the Dior.

[@melds9788]

Thanks for the good information Jena! I just wish Nordstrom carries the new Chanel foundation coz it's hard for me to pick the right shade on-line coz I never tried Chanel foundation yet.

[@JenaFroese]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@missjoasia123]

I love the CT foundation beautiful skin, I love the gel texture of this. I like to apply with fingers spread it out to a thin layer working iin sections at a time while I press in with beauty blender sponge. Any beauty blender type sponge to blend the foundation in seamlessly into the skin, and it has a natural skin finish with a glow. I powder down so it isn't so glowy since I have combo skin. In do blot with this foundation as any glowy foundation I have to but CT lasts long ! I want to try the chanel foundation but the price is a lot more that the CT

[@jaimewalton652]

Hi Jenna! Loved the video! First off, I LOVE your nail color, what is it?! Second, could you give comparable foundations (or dupes) for each of these that look similar in finish and wear (high end or drugstore, it doesn't matter!)? Love you!!!

[@JenaFroese]

Love you too!! Ahh I’ll try to find some similar finishes! :) as for my nails, I don’t remember! I asked at the salon and forgot 😭 it’s a pale pink with a glitter topcoat!

[@darkwavediva4057]

I'm currently loving the new Nars foundation!

[@nadiadncr]

Such great video thank you for ranking these it’s so helpful good work Jena 💕

[@Amira-cc3id]

Hi Jena ! Such a good review .Thank you ! I have a question…. According to your review , I don’t understand why the NARS one is in the third place rather than the second . I had the impression, when you describe this foundation in comparison to the Charlotte Tilbury one, that you prefer the Nars one over the Charlotte Tilbury …. Can you explain the reason please ? Thank you ! 💖

[@JenaFroese]

Really good question! I felt like the nars foundation did amazing, but seemed to start creasing and gathering sooner than the Charlotte. I prefer the glow of the finish over the nars when applied properly (a thin layer). They were so close it could have gone either way, but I decided the longevity of the charlotte pushed her into second. ❤️ Both are lovely products though, I have been enjoying them both for different styles of looks!

[@ChrissieSM]

Yes, she said the CT can get cakey, is not as good as the Light Wonder, needs prepping, etc. Personally, I find the CT disappears from my face after a couple of hours despite my skin being dry/normal. But I must admit the colour 4N is very flattering on me. As for Chanel no.1, it is light and not very pigmented, I look as if I was bare skin, which is no good, as I have lots of redness and sun spots; it is for good skins only IMO.

[@janicecroissiert9116]

Great list! I just acquired a couple of samples of he new CT, I need to try it for a few days, but I noticed that cream, or liquid blushes blend better over it than powder blushes. Jury still out. Lol. But, color match is amazing. I tried the Chanel #1;in the boutique. Plus, the Sublimage liquid. Color, spot on, but, my really dry skin preferred the Sublimage. However, during summer 8 plus months here, this Chanel 1 would probably work. As far as the Dior, nope, those 2 foundations would never work, however I need to try the serum Capture foundation, but that one has few colors. We’ll see. Right now, I’m finishing up my EL Hydra Rescue , which is also a great foundation. Why change? Lol. Don’t we all like shiny new things to try?

[@macademia8151]

The dior capture totale is my holy grail. I got it last week and i never was more impressed with foundation. I hated the CT one for example. It looked dry on me, did not last.. the capture total looks like dream when you put it on, does not cling to anything, has perfect finish, last all day..

[@janicecroissiert9116]

@@macademia8151 ohh. This is great to hear! I’m hearing quite a few people saying the same thing about the new CT. I did notice my cheek felt dry when I applied a powder blush. Well, at least I didn’t spend the money for it. Definitely going to check out the Dior Capture!

[@marianneharms8799]

I dont mind the Nars foundation :) , but nothing was ever wrong with the Sheer Glow so I'll stick with that I guess? 🤪 I do understand that these days, they are trying fo sell us foundation with light coverage, but if the higher coverage version breakdowns less, last better & cost the same?

Im so glad you did this ranking but even still I am going to buy Nars over Chanel because their shade range is small and not at all balanced.

Bummer Chanel, hope they realize and do better!
