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

[@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!

[@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???

[@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

[@KimKong1011]

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

[@nikkiajoy]

Me too!! Love it so much!! xx

[@xxSeVGoShxx]

I'm surprised you didnt include too faced peach perfect

[@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.

[@allieg6401]

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

[@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 😊

[@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!

[@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!!

[@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.

[@SugaComa101]

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

[@i-ch9831]

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

[@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.

[@kimh5836]

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

[@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..

[@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. ☺️❤️

[@beauty.addict9692]

🥰 oily Skin Gang 😬

[@nikkiajoy]

YESSSSSSS🙌🏻

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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 🙃

[@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 ❤️

[@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.

[@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.

[@PerfectlyPreppy]

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

[@clairekennedy8767]

Love your videos, funny see u here :)

[@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!!!

[@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!

[@lauriereeves3145]

I'm asking again WHY are you not up to a million subscribers????? I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your videos. Thank you so much for all of your hard work. Merry Christmas :)

[@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.

[@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?

[@merediths1429]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@silentsomi]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@TinaC982]

Great video! I love how you incorporate drug store brands as well! Thank you!

[@nikkiajoy]

I love drugstore products!! They are amazing!!! xxx

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@mariacristinaPerezCris]

I own most of them because of you and I love them of course estee lauder is my #1 and infallible as well

[@heidi4552]

I loveeee Tarte’s Rainforest of the Sea and Nars Sheer Glow 😍

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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 ❤️💋

[@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.

[@barbarajacobs1197]

I love the CC it's beautiful,just wish there was more colors I use two to get the color I need

[@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

[@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!

[@chanifrost7055]

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

[@jennifermiranda7674]

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

[@leahreeves3904]

Estée Lauder double wear foundation is my holy grail!!!!💕♥️💜

[@malvinael-sayegh9715]

Tarte cosmetics - Amazonian clay foundation !

[@reneewerner1972bd]

My absolute favorite. Shade range is amazing and it stays all day..my daughter and I both use it and love it!

[@Msrussianbeauty20]

Sephora airbrush and face atelier are my absolute favs!!!

[@xfilesfan6593]

Totally agree with the double wear, I even went on vacay to the Caribbean and it held on even in humid and extra hot weather , however I had to switch to the loreal because the dw started to turn pink on me after one hr on, literally pinkish, still dunno why.

[@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!

[@aliciaparedes3974]

My all time favorite is the Clinique Beyond Perfecting for my combo oily skin 🥰

[@geminisun12]

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

[@farmgirl7891]

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

[@jillkimmle8966]

Double Wear is my ride or die foundation!!! The BEST ever!!!

[@itzy4969]

I would really love to see a video of you listing your top foundations in order high end and drug store it would be very interesting

[@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.

[@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

[@vanessayeo6409]

My favourite is Dior Backstage. Love It!

[@Blueangel-pv1ph]

Can you do a video on the new CoverGirl Outlast Active foundation. Also, a video on foundation recommendations for women with mature oily skin.

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@rev6688]

EL double wear nude. Sheer to medium, slight glow but great oil control.

[@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! ❤️

[@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!

[@Jordan-ro1xz]

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

[@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!

[@xcustomadex]

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

[@EvaGiannina1]

I go to the gym straight after work so my foybdation need to last from 6 am to 7 pm , infalible last very well and maybelline mat control, those are my favourite , my worst problem is witj mascara 😊

[@sharinakhan8184]

Jouer foundation creases on me like crazy, especially on my smile lines and around my nose, but it looks really good when u first put it on!! I wish there was a way to stop the creasing.. 😞😞

[@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

[@amelievern1674]

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

[@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 😭

[@roxanaruizgrayson1010]

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

[@shody321]

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

[@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!

[@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 😍💖

[@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.

[@soulak9055]

Loreal Infallible broke me out but Covergirl had a foundation in pink and clear packaging that was a great dupe for EL Double wear

[@dianabarragan6564]

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

[@fouzia109]

Could you please do a review of bare minerals foundation? Am very curious to know how it works on oily skin

[@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.

[@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!
