    Estée Lauder double wear is my all time favorite. It is the only foundation I've found that will not settle into the lines on my forehead, and I've tried MANY. I'm almost 50 years old and this has worked for me, for years. The key is not using too much. I love it and I hope they never stop making it. I wish I could find a cheaper "dupe" but I haven't yet. This is great for my very oily, mature skin. You don't need much, even for full coverage so it does last.
    Love your videos!

Oh my gosh, I have matured 60 years old skin, with lots of texture and fine lines. My skin feels amazing and talking about blurring the lines, OMG. The Foundation is nothing I have ever felt before, so luxurious and blurred my hyperpigmentation. I absolutely love this foundation, and thank you Nikkie for testing it. WOW WOW and again thank you so much for your dedication to your craft and allows people like me to see what's available out there. Nikki, You are the greatest

Lighter weight? Full coverage? More dewy or matte? I just don't know!🤔🤷🏼‍♀️☺️ ~Thanks!

I have used this foundation and nothing else compares to it. I can never figure out why it is never mentioned even though it is so expensive. When you first are applying it you think that it isn't doing anything because it seems like it disappears but it really just blends with your skin so amazingly so fast that you think it has disappeared until you see how amazing your skin all of the sudden looks!

    My top three of the 37 I have tried on your list?
    1. Armani Luminous Silk
    2. Armani Power Fabric (for more coverage on rosacea spots or for special events/photographs)
    3. I would say the Laura Mercier glow foundation but it's not on your list
    Runner up: Nars Sheer Glow
    My criteria for my mature combo skin? Light - med buildable coverage, no SPF / flashback, no strong scent, good shade match, sets down with no powder necessary. Natural finish. Not too glowy, not too matte, not makeup-y. Not asking much! These glide over lines texture and dry patchy tretinoin flakes yet still work in the oily T-zone. Yes I'm the Princess and the Pea of foundation 😊
    Nars only made runner up due to the lack of perfect shade match, longevity is not as good unless used with the Milk gripping primer which is a great combo.
    The PML, Shiseido and Laura Mercier Weightless made it to my arsenal. Just not as good as Armani. May the Armani live forever without reformulation! 🙏
    MUFE Forever HD (discontinued) was a holy grail may it R.I.P.

      I actually bought one and hated it at first--gave me heinous texture when I applied it with the brush. Then I gave it another try for spot concealing mainly, dotting it on and melting it in with the heat of my fingers. Now I like it a lot; the shade is a good match for me, and it has a very natural satiny look that blends in well with the rest of my face where I haven't used it. Not saying it couldn't be improved upon, but I'll definitely finish the stick and possibly buy it again.

I can think of so many potential spin off videos from this. I’ve not bought any new foundations but I did cave and get your brush! My current top 4 is the Chanel No 1, Chanel water fresh touch, Haus Labs and Armani Luminous Silk. Thanks for all you do:)

After turning 27 and having 3 kids my skin was so different and none of my makeup products/techniques were working all the sudden. I was just going to accept that my makeup would be a creasy/greasy/ cakey mess forever. Then I found you! So thank you for all your advice, hard work, and dedication! 🤍

    • @debrap5758
      @debrap5758 Před 3 měsíci +3

      Well, the lack of shades goes in a couple of directions. There are lines that don’t include enough shades in the darker colors, and lines that are too yellow with no neutrals or pinks. The lines that don’t include anything for us pinker peeps are MUCH MORE NUMEROUS than the lines that don’t have enough deeper shades. It’s a problem! Many of these lines I can’t even think about because of how yellow they are. 🤨 Nikki mentions that with Too Faced, but so many only have pinker colors in the very fair shades. As soon as you get into the slightly darker shades, there are often no shades with pink undertones. It’s sad….

I did it and it is amazing - no more guessing! But I wonder how accurate it is, so wanted to know your take. I am surprised more people aren’t talking about it.

  • @missyscarborough1301
    @missyscarborough1301 Před 3 měsíci +5

    Nikki, I so appreciate the time and commitment you put into this series where you try all of various product offerings at Sephora. I’ve heard you mention before that your skin eventually starts to react negatively to the on/off to showcase each item, which I suspect any skin type would begin to scream ‘enough’ at a certain point.
    I can maintain the same routine at night with the same well proven products and still wake up with red annoyed cheeks for reasons unknown to me. I hate dealing with it as it is uncomfortable and visibly frustrating. Experiencing those days gives me a hint at what your cheek starts to feel like and, no doubt, you are taking one for the team to do it anyway because you want to help us.
    So I truly am thankful to have your channel and your video catalog to refer back on as often as need be for advise or guidance.

My top three are Armani Luminous Silk, NARS Light Reflecting and Este Lauder Double Wear. Today I actually wore the Este Lauder which I had stopped using because it wasn't wearing as well as it used to on my dry skin. However, today I mixed it with a small amount of the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter (suggested in a recent video by Glam Girl Gabi) and OH MY GOSH, what a beautiful combo! I have had my eye on your BK Beauty Pro Foundation Brush you were using today. So many people are raving about it so I'm just going to have to break down and purchase one of my own!
