My name is Shelly and I’m a 46-year-old web geek that jumped off the deep end into the makeup and beauty world. I’ve got normal to dry skin, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage. Cameo appearances by my rescue cats Daffy, Polly, Ziva, & Merlin (RIP 2002-2020) :(

I absolutely love it when your kitties make an appearance 😺💛
Me too :)
You are my #1 when it comes to foundation reviews. I just turned 44 and I’m SUPER dry. So usually I agree with you 💯
I am SUPER dry and it doesnt seem to matter how much really good skincare routine I have. morning and night nit to mention literally do what you described - every single day and night and a half hour pre makeup application and for some reason foundation doesnt sit well. I dermaplane and exfoliate every week with a gentle exfoliant (ie:lactic or glycolic acid from the Ordinary) I always ends up with a kind of patchy flaky cheek and temple area 😭😭
Anyone any ideas. I drink plenty of water. Would I need to take a supplement?
Yay I’ve been waiting to hear your review on this ⭐️💛💕!
I’ve been waiting for you to review this one!!! 🤗 💜
Oh! I’ve been waiting for your review of this... I clicked so fast 💜
I really love your review!
Absolutely Beautiful!!
Yay!!!!! Stoked is a good word! Keep it up, man! You’re doing great! Thank you 🙏 have a glorious weekend 🤟🏼
You’re stunning in this video! And I’m gonna grab this foundation- looks great
Looks beautiful on you! Very impressed, have to try it myself!
That looks stunning on you, your skin looks filtered, just beautiful!
I'm excited about this one! This is one I really want to try!
Liked before I even watched! I really want to try this 😍 ok back to the video. PS you look gorgeous!
Love it when Zeva makes an appearance! Such a pretty girl!💜
Thank you! I was hoping you would review this foundation. Your skin looks great and with the rest of your make up you look fantastic.
You look great today, and that is absolutely a perfect color match. Lovin' the eyes you've done today too!
Aaaaand you've sold me! Girl you look so pretty! Thanks for reviewing this! 💕❤️
The color is perfect! Skin looks really good
I love LOVE the regular Even Better foundation with SPF.
Absolutely gorgeous dahling.
Cheers Shelly. Another great video. Thanks for sharing. Zeva is really getting his face in on the videos these days. Next thing he'll have an agent!
It looks great on you! I can't believe I've never tried a Clinique foundation before. I'm a long time user of Double Wear. Have a great weekend!
Must say the shade match looks spot on. Also your eye look is gorgeous BTW. Thank-you for another review, Shelly. 💜💜
You looked so good in this, but that's you. You're going to look good in most foundations, because you have such great skin!
Yasssssss I am so excited for this one
You look so good like I need lessons from you!! 🥺💖
Just got a sample of this foundation and trying for the first time. I'm loving it so far!
That blush/highlighter combo is so freakin beautiful on you😍
I'm so in love with it!!!
I have been using this foundation for about 6 months. I absolutely love it. I noticed having quite a bit of peeling and flaking for the 1st couple weeks and didn’t have a clue why. I almost gave up on it! But, then I realized it could be the salicylic acid. I hung in there and noticed each morning I started having less and less of the peeling/flaking until I had none. My skin has never looked better. The texture, pores, even color, … I honestly cannot believe it when I look in the mirror. I’m 55 and finally found a foundation that does more for my skin than cover the problems.
This one looked beautiful on you Shelly ❤️
The foundation is really a very good shade match, lasted along time and the brush side looked the best.....good job, as always !
Shelly so glad it kinda worked for you.I have super dry skin and i put this onandit was like theatre makeup. I really wanted to like this. I felt my skin tightening
That shade match was PERFECT! I'm going to pick this one up!
Total stroke of luck! 😂
So excited to get your thoughts. I found it VERY drying. I have zero flaking.
Love the hair colour. You're so beautiful!
Thank you!!
Great review Shelly! I may give this a go toward summertime and will definitely try the concealer! You look so pretty today and the earrings are smashing. I’d like to ask which eyeshadow primer you use. I use the Fenty primer and as with all others, my shadow looks muddy after a few hours. I’m always gobsmacked at how fresh your shadow looks at the end of the day. Ziva tickles me and I’m so happy to see her sweet face. Keep it up Ziva! Sending hugs from snowy Seattle! 🐈🐾🐾
Cant tell you how much I love your content🌞👍🌞. Ur so down-to-earth and straightforward...I never feel like I being "sold", but instead we're getting the important details re: ease of application, coverage, skin feel, color match, wear over time, and especially your positive energy!! 🎉😌🎉 Excited to watch your back log of so many foundations I've been curious about how they wear on someone my age!! TY TY TY💌
Thanks, Cass!!
You are my skin twin! I have been waiting for this one as a long-time Clinique wearer. I knew you would be Alabaster as that is my shade in all their foundations 😊 The brand is perfect for my sensitive skin and find it quite underrated on CZcams in general. Thanks for the review!
Can you give a brief description of the different Clinique foundations you’ve tried? I want to get one but I’m not sure which one, for dry skin, medium Coverage...we can’t go to the store to try yet and I’m impatient, lol
I love your reviews! Also think your skin looks great without foundation. 😍👍
Yaaaaas I've been waiting for you to try this!
It's right up my alley! I know a lot of people are digging light coverage lately, but my go-to is exactly this. I like a solid medium coverage. It's just my favorite look!
@@goow I’m curious what this would look like after you do the 7-skin method. 😍
Thanks for the update on the concealer. I went for it and purchased it and I'm really happy with it. I was hooked on elf hydrating camo for a long bit but it was starting to look crackly. This one is perfect 👌 Thanks for reviewing that one. Loved this review but I think I'll stick with the colourpop pretty fresh foundation 😉🥰
Your skin looks amaizing. I want to try the Clinique now. I am fair, super dry and 48 years old. I am totally feeling you with the skin dryness right now. Cerave healing ointment over all my skincare helps.
Love your reviews
I like it spot on color looks really good 😀
thank you for keeping so honest with your camera footage - I'm so sick of the on purpose washed out perfect illusion of most other youtubers now..!
New to your channel, as I was just searching for a review of this foundation. I did the Clinique shade match (analyzes your skin tone through your phone camera and recommends a shade) and it suggested this same shade. My dry, 49yo face is happy to have found you. Subbed!
Welcome, Jennifer!!
Hi Shelly. I think it looked great on your skin! I may give it a try. Your eye look is stunning! Second I saw it the ABH Modern Renaissance palette came to mind and I'm going to try to recreate the look tomorrow. Also, love your earrings. As always, great review!
First of all, you look lovely in this video. I love your sweater! I was a long time devotee of Clinique products. I have always had very dry sensitive skin, and I could count on Clinique not to irritate my skin. In the early 80’s I basically followed what my mother used. I started with Ultima II and at a certain point I switched to Clinique. Even though I loved their moisturizers, I was never fully satisfied with their foundations. It wasn’t until I tried to branch out to other brands, that I realized there were foundations that worked better for me. However, I still think their Intense Hydrator is one of the best non-irritating moisturizers.
Clinique foundations have always worked pretty well for me, and this one is quite tempting...but until I cull some of my lesser-used (never-used?) products, I just can't justify the purchase. Great review, though, and it looked really pretty on you! And I swear I'm falling in luv with that cat--so glad she chose to make an appearance.
I've been so curious about this foundation. It was such a good match for you. I've reached a point where nothing will disguise maturity, so I look for the other elements now.
I had to laugh watching the excruciating process of bringing in the drywall! 🤣Thanks Shelly, and as always, stay safe!❤
I went to Clinique tried this foundation and felt in love with it and I have dry skin
I was really hoping you'd review this one. I haven't found a Clinique foundation that I really love, but I wanted to try this one.
I'm really hoping you'll be reviewing the new Shiseido Synchro radiant (I can't remember the exact title, lol)!
I’m new to your channel and I am huge into skincare. I cannot say this enough, you do NOT look 40! You look amazing and I love your channel and personality ♥️♥️♥️
Thanks, Kandace! Welcome! SPF daily is the secret to life, the universe, and everything. 😝
I love youre personality 💕! And alsow rewiev on the foundation i thinking of buying! Thank you 🙂
I've heard mixed reviews about this product, but glad that it worked out for you! I tend to only trust your reviews of base products! On a side note, after watching your review on the l'oreal age perfect foundation, I tried it and I'm loving it!
I'm so glad!! That Age Perfect is brilliant - the whole line, really. I've not only liked everything from that line, but full on love it all. I'm pretty sure I've tried at least one of everything - last thing I have to try is the primer, which just arrived from CVS :)
I got this today at ulta hope I like it.. omg I can’t believe your 46 you look in your early 30s you have beautiful skin
Thanks for all of your reviews! My mom got me started wearing CLINIQUE products when I was 15 and I’ve been wearing them ever since!! U and I are the same shade and undertones! Thanks for this!! I am 47 now :)) and I’ve gotten my daughters wearing Clinique now and they love it! So good for our skin!! And I’ve tried ALOT OF BRANDS!
I tend to have good luck with Clinique too!!
Yay! Finally one that worked!
I was just wondering if you were going to do a wear test on the Fenty powder Foundation. thanks! Love your reviews!! Have a wonderful weekend
Thanks, Kim! I haven't decided if I'm going to buy the Fenty powder only because I very rarely wear powder foundation. I have a couple that I use for setting foundations that need setting, but most powders alone are too dry on me :( so they don't review well anyway.
I absolutely LOVE this serum foundation!
The Clinique consultant gave me a sample...enough for 2 weeks. Here’s the kicker....I am 73 years young and I absolutely love trying new foundations and blushes...and bronzers, etc. This foundation looks beautiful on!! I used a sponge and wha-la....flawless and it wore amazing for 10 to. 12 hours!!! It looked better hour by hour. TRY It ladies!!!
Looks fantastic... your whole makeup is gorgeous! I’m going to have to try this. I’ve been tossing up between this and Elizabeth Ardens flawless finish skincare foundation... can you review it too? Pretty please? 😄💜
Hi Shelley happy to see a good one as the last couple weren't so good on you. I know clinique recently updated their shade range a little, so i'll have a look at this one. My skin is dry, but i don't have flaky patches so it might be fine. I usually wear a primer in the centre of the face to blur pores with most foundations anyway. It also helps stop my dry skin eating the foundation during the day. I tend to sheer out foundations on the perimeter, as I need more coverage in the centre (rosacea). i'm using the revolution cc cream just now mainly as the 0.5 is such a good shade match. I lightly set it with powder and it lasts fairly well. As always I'm still on the search for a foundation that really looks good all day, but due to shade issues not every range works for me (including many of the A's). Best wishes.
I have been thinking of trying this foundation, I do like several of their foundations. I got that palette also, beautiful look!! Have a good day. xoxo 😘🙂
You're very kind to this one! My chin looks bad, smile lines bad, upper lip bad, nose a hot mess, textured forehead, lines on forehead all bad... other than that my face looks great!😃I loved the shade but sounds like the rest is a pass for anyone with skin that gets dehydrated.. Great revieew- always love your foundation reviews!
You do look really good in this video.
Thanks for the post. I went into our Walgreens to look for the WW concealer, they didn't carry. Ours is small. Sad, but they did have the highlighter & you are right. It is beautiful. I am really into using concealer as foundations lately. I tend not to get to much product, a problem I have w/ foundations.
"We're going streaking!!!!" Was that a nod to the movie Old School?? lol
That made me laugh.
Yep!! 😂
I'm sorry but I had to giggle when you were reading ALL those claims 🤯 😁 It's like common Clinique, we get it! So happy to know it's Opthomologist approved 🤓
Wow! Gorgeous!
Looked pretty flawless to me👍
I don't hate this serum foundation by Clinique. I might like it more in the summer. Not too many foundations actually look okay on my forever old dry skin and this product doesn't highlight my dry patches or overly accentuate my wrinkles and the coverage is surprisingly good. Right now, I'm alternating between this Clinique serum foundation and Ilia's serum foundation, which I think I prefer. However, Clinique's products are so affordable.
I think this was one of the Clinique foundations Ulta was offering as a Diamond gift. I ended up getting a mascara because I couldn’t figure out what shade I’d need. Now I’m kind of kicking myself. It looks really great on you.
Love your reviews! I like the atmosphere a lot!
I do have a question, any foundations you recommend for a 21 year old dry skin? I don't really look for a really high coverage foundation, anything you may recommend?
Thanks, Diana! Check out my master list - scroll down to the spreadsheet and at the top right of the spreadsheet, put "hydrating" in the search box. That'll bring up all of the foundations I think are hydrating, ranked best to worst - geekoutofwater.com/foundation-fest/ and all the info on coverage, finish, etc is listed too with links back to the original reviews :)
Its look so good on you x
So excited to see what you think if this I was disappointed by the shade range but I can't stop eyeing it lol
Girl my skin was so dry I had to go ally turn the humidifier on and step it up on my skin care finally back to normal dry/combo lol humidifier was my skins life saver this winter has just been awful. Your skin still looks beautiful ❤️ you do not look your age at all just saying!! 😁
Love it!
I'm in the same shade for Clinique. This arrived yesterday! The concealer that goes with it is soooo amazing! Try the concealer! If you've never tried their blush that has a flower imprint on it....TO DIE FOR! I'm also really enjoying their bronze and highlighter. They have an excellent mascara that lengthens (makes tubes and rubs off with water), and my all time favorite lipstick is Think Bronze, which isn't bronze at all, lol! Do a full face, Shelly!!! Is that Tokyo Lights I see??? After reading all that I bet you were SOHO OVER IT 😆
😂😂😂 You know I love a good Color Street pun!!!!
Despite the sun going down before your daylight check-in, the shade looked very good here Shelly. I agree that using a brush left a smoother finish. I wonder if this is one of those foundations that will be less dry-feeling during warmer months? :)
Great bottle.
Try Clinique's moisture surge 100H moisturizer, it penetrates 10 layers deep! Also, I love this foundation, it is buildable, especially with the sponge, but of course that means more producttt. Love the review lol
I agree not good for mature skin, I did not like it, but might work in the summer we will see. Your eye makeup today is really pretty.
I really love this foundation, but I have combo/oily skin. Well formulated. I am 66 yo.
Beautiful 🤩
I just love this on you Shelly! I'm not sure if can wear this as I'm the palest of pale. Typical Irish skin unfortunately. 90% of foundations look yellow on me
The foundation is the perfect shade for you. Very smoothing, and I can't see dryness on your face.
I'm not a fan of the ABH mascara. It dried out pretty quickly.
Good choice, Shelly.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend! ❤❤
Oh wow - I guess I will find that out soon enough with the ABH, and if mine dries out, I will be irked because that's one of my mascara pet peeves!
@@goow I'm glad I only purchased the mini size. I hope yours doesn't dry out as quickly.
I tend to like Clinique foundations. The CliniqueFIT foundation is my ALL TIME FAVORITE foundation ever made. It’s discontinued now. They advertised it for workout makeup, and I wish they would’nt have bc I think they threw people off from trying it, but it was bomb. I was interested in this one. It’s just a little more expensive then I like to spend, but it does have really good skin care in it. I’ll probably wind up getting it, bc I tend to like Clinique base products. They’re underrated!
Fun watching
When you said Mork from Ork came to mind - it made me remember that Morks' son (Jonathan Winters) was "Hatched" from a big white egg shaped spaceship! That might be why your mind went there like that. Have a great weekend!
U mean Mork and Mindy
@@melindavansandt5168 Yeah the show was called Mork and Mindy but Mork's full name (according to him) was Mork form Ork. Ah the amazingly talented Robin Williams.
Wasn't Mork's spaceship also an egg? That was our first encounter of him - that egg opening and him stepping out "Nanu nanu". Loved the show.
@@bluecurlygirl for sure!!! I just loved nearly all his movies!
I went to school with twins called Mork and Mindy, they changed their names to Mark and Mandy when they were 18 😂
This looks beautiful on you!! I may have to give it a whirl. I wonder if it would hold up under a mask??🤷🏼♀️
It stays put pretty well under my sunglasses, so maybe!
Beautiful looking foundation in a Mork & Mindy space-egg bottle (or is it the egg-ship the girl leaves in at the end of Men in Black II?) complete with an extended Ziva cameo - what more could a girl ask for?!
Love your earrings
Wow, you took me back to a few memories today. Do you remember when the song The Streak was popular? And I think I watched every episode of Mork and Mindy. Robin was such a special person. Do you remember what that show spun off from?
As many have said, you look really beautiful today (well whenever you taped this) but you're always beautiful so I'm sure it applies anyway! I've gotten to the point now that I can just about guess what grade you're going to give them. I'm always happy when I get it right.
I hope you're having a great weekend! Take care and big hugs, Kara
I don't remember what it came from! I do miss him. Brilliant.
@@goow it was a spin off of Happy Days, believe it or not. Yes, Robin was a genius. I hate that he's gone but what he was going through was apparently he**!
I hope you're doing good and staying warm! Take care and big hugs, Kara
Your skin looked great with no makeup! I love Clinique and grew up on it, but I tend to avoid the foundations and concealers because the shades are so confusing. They’ll have like 20 shades that are called “fair.” Alabaster is my go to shade.
SO confusing!!!!!!! On top of it I wouldn't call this shade "very fair" which is what they call it. I'd call it mid to late end of the fair range. It was a total guess on this shade but I got lucky!
I’m 26 and have your skin at 46 🙀 You’re a magician. I also have the same eyebrows as you! Full in the middle and with one of my tails the hairs grow upwards. I hope I can age well. Please give me a skin care routine!
Thanks, Alex!! Sunscreen is the key - for real! Minimum SPF 30 every single day, and if you're outside, reapply often. The rest of my routine is almost entirely geared to reversing the damage I did by not wearing sunscreen daily until I was 35. I use Vitamin C in the mornings, retinol at nights, weekly AHA/BHA acid toner, and lots and lots of moisturizer and moisturizing sprays/essences/toners!
Maybe you should try a Clinique foundation that's meant for dry skin. That was a great color match, which should be easy for you with Clinique because they have way too many cool shades and basically no true neutrals, so good for you but bad for people like me.
I know how uncomfortable dry face skin patches can be. When that happens to me I use a face oil over my moisturizer and it really helps me. Ever tried that?
My skin gets so dry I have to put cerave ointment on top of my skincare. It works though. Thanks for this review, I want to get a sample before I buy.
Hey shelly, I love your foundation list its very in depth, I am currently watching back to back review but gosh there are so many haha, i was wondering if you were able to tell me in your opinion which foundation you like that has the best anti aging appearance, my skin is much like yours i have fine lines, cool undertone and redness and I'm more on the normal to dry side, I currently use the Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation and Concealer and whilst its ( the best one i have found so far), its only really good for me in environments that are not super drying, and it ages me something chronic sometimes ugh. anyway i know your probably very busy but any pointers will be great, im about to watch the reviews for the other 4 foundations that were swatched against this foundation you tried in this video.
My all time favorites are ones like Dior Forever Skin Glow, MAC Face and Body, L'Oreal Age Perfect - I opt for a more dewy finish most of the time when I'm feeling super dry.
@@goow thank you, i assume you most likly have reviews for these so im going to go watch them, or watch them again lol thank you
Love 💕 your kitty 🐱
She could have her own channel with all of her fans here!
I think the finish and color look great even after 12 hours. Except where you already had issues or had to blow your nose, it seems to have degraded nicely.
My skin is always like that. Doesn’t matter how much moisturizer I put on my face I still feel dry.
