What is best foundation for aging skin
Holy Grail Foundation For Mature Skin 2020 | All Skin Types
hello there so today I'm gonna be
sharing with you my Holy Grail
ride-or-die foundations and yes I said
foundations plural I talked about
foundations a lot here on my channel I
have various foundations playlists and
top foundations videos where I have
reviewed and given you my top picks in
various categories like skin like
foundations or long wearing bulletproof
foundations powder foundations so I went
through my entire stash and picked out
my very very top favorite Holy Grail
foundations from within some of those
categories so I have four liquid
foundations here a skin-like foundation
and everyday natural foundation a
bulletproof long wearing or matte option
as well as a luminous natural finish
type of foundation I also have a stick
and a powder foundation and a bonus
foundation I'm kind of throwing in
you'll see why as I go through the video
I was putting together my ride-or-die
Holy Grail makeup video which will be
coming out in the next week or so and I
just knew I could not have just one
foundation in that video because I wear
different foundations for different
occasions and I know a lot of you are
like that too I know it's kind of hard
to pick a foundation especially when
you're not 20 anymore I mean I am in my
mid-40s and it just gets a little bit
harder so I do hope that you guys find
this helpful if this is your first time
here or if you've been watching my
videos and just haven't hit that
subscribe button I would love it if you
consider subscribing before the end of
this video and become part of the family
so with that said let's go ahead and get
into the first foundation out of these
Holy Grail foundations I do need to let
you know my skin type right so I said I
was in my mid 40s I'll be 45 this summer
I still can't believe it and I have oily
combination skin meaning that I get
shiny in my t-zone and pretty normal
around the perimeter but several of
these foundations are really great for
any skin type so I am extra excited to
share them with you so I'll start with
the foundation that I have on my face
this is a found
that I didn't think that I was gonna
like because it does have the word
radiance in the full name of it but I
tried it several months ago and was
absolutely shocked at how much I liked
it it actually replaced another
foundation that would have been in this
categories number one spot so this is
the natural radiant foundation of this
bunch this is the alarm RCA flawless
Lumiere radiance perfecting foundation
and I don't typically go for radiant
foundations they typically don't work
for me because I do have oily
combination skin and I know a lot of you
dry skin ladies really like this
foundation sometimes I do want to look
just naturally healthy and radiant and
glowy and it's kind of hard to achieve
that with my skin type without looking
greasy several hours later it gives very
natural coverage it wears a long time
I'm talking a full full day I live in a
really hot climate and again was truly
surprised by that it feels really really
great on the skin this to me is great
for mature skin specifically because it
does kind of hide your imperfections it
blurs things it smooths things it just
presents your skin in a very flattering
light in my opinion I would say it gives
medium to full buildable coverage while
still looking very natural they do claim
that it's good for any skin type and I
would agree with that it also has some
nice ingredients and it's got some
vitamin C it's got a super crystal clear
pearl light reflecting ingredient and
that's what gives your skin that just
flattering look and it also has silver
ear mushroom extract which diminishes
diminishes the appearance of fine lines
and wrinkles Vanessa found a ssin just
gives me exactly what I want from this
type of foundation so for that reason
this is the Holy Grail I'll put all of
my foundation shades in my description
box so that you can see what I wear in
each foundation and I do also have my
full foundation shade list as well as
concealer list over on my blog and those
are always linked in my description
boxes to this next foundation is my pick
for a light coverage skin like
foundation
I just did a video about foundations
that look like skin and this foundation
was in that video and I'm sure a lot of
you know it's gonna be in this video too
and I do have another skin like
foundation in this video but it gives a
little bit more coverage but this is my
pick for a light coverage foundation
that gives me just a nice evening out of
my skin tone and it just you know I
could fool anybody it not looks like I'm
wearing makeup and it controls my shine
throughout the day too which is really
important right now as it's gotten hot
this is the bobbi brown skin long wear
fluid powder foundation I have never
liked liquid to powder foundations in
the past until this it does self set but
not too quickly so you do have enough
time to work with it this is great for
normal combination or oily skin and
those of you who just get shiny in the
hot months as well it settles into a
matte finish but it's not a flat matte
it is just a soft matte finish it also
has UV filters in it that protect not
only from UV rays but they protect from
blue light as well so if you're someone
that sits in front of your computer or
your devices a lot this is gonna really
be beneficial for your skin and it's got
a protein powder complex in it that is
supposed to help keep your skin looking
smooth and healthy I just love the way
my skin looks when I wear this my pores
look diminished it doesn't settle into
fine lines or creases or wrinkles I have
a very expressive forehead and sometimes
foundations can settle into here I adore
this I also love the nice lightweight
bottle yeah this definitely is my holy
grail for my skin like foundation with
light coverage okay so I just realized
that I left a foundation category and a
foundation out of this video so there is
gonna be one extra foundation that I
didn't really count in my intro because
I forgot about it it is gonna be later
on but this foundation made me realize
that I had left it out so this next Holy
Grail foundation is my pick for when I
need a special-occasion foundation let's
say there's a wedding I'm going to be
dancing a lot there's somewhere I need
to go and I just need something to be
very bulletproof and keep me shine
free for a long time but look natural
and look really really good and give me
the medium coverage not super full
coverage just medium coverage but keep
me matte to where I don't look like I'm
wearing a mask so this is the Too Faced
peach perfect comfort matte foundation
this is oil free it wears a really long
time it looks beautiful on the skin it
feels comfortable just like all the
foundations in this video I don't have
anything in this video that is not
comfortable feeling or breathable on the
skin it does give a nice soft matte
finish that keeps me shine free for a
really long time and it gives me medium
to medium full coverage and I do feel
like this does a really great job with
pores this is a great versatile
foundation to travel with if you need
something for daytime or something for a
special occasion this is just kind of
what I reach for for those now I am
gonna throw in a little bonus here
because I wanted to give you a drugstore
option that I reach for for kind of the
same reason and that is the Maybelline
matte and poreless I did already do a
holy grail of drugstore foundations
video I will have that linked for you if
you want to see that so these
foundations in this video are the ones
that I truly reach for the most and they
do happen to be more high-end but I did
want to just give this little guy a
shout out because it kind of does all of
these things for me but it doesn't wear
quite as long as this one but I know you
know some of you are on a budget and I
did want to throw that out there and I
also wanted to let you know that if you
haven't seen my drugstore holy grail
foundations video you can go catch that
one if you do happen to be on a budget
or you want a drugstore option I had
somebody make a comment on a video
recently that happened to have you know
more high-end than drugstore and say
something about how is only a high-end
channel and it was like no no not I do
both just happen to be that one video
and that's kind of how this video is
some videos have more high ends some
videos have more affordable drugstore
some have a mix of both it's just kind
of how much Hanul is I do a little bit
of everything now the powder foundations
video that I did was a best and worst of
powder foundations whereas the other top
foundations videos that I've done have
all been top
Nations but I had some worst powder
foundations I needed to talk about in
that particular video and I will have
those videos linked down below for you
too so when I think about my favorite
Holy Grail powder foundation when I
think about the one for me
that's very versatile in terms of
coverage and where's the longest and
looks natural
this one comes to mind and that is Mac
Studio Fix I feel like there are a lot
of people that maybe haven't tried this
and think that it is going to look cakey
or mask-like or very powdery and it
doesn't you can have very light coverage
if you use a brush with this or you can
build it up with a sponge you can really
customize your coverage and your finish
and I find that it just makes my skin
look really smooth and nice it's
flattering it blurs my pores it doesn't
settle it wears a long time for a powder
foundation if powder foundations are not
just right for me they make me very
quickly and they slip off my face very
quickly despite using the best primers
and studying sprays and this one just
does everything right for the simple
fact that I can get long wear not look
powdery or cakey and the coverage is
versatile it's not too sheer it's not
too heavy it just kind of covers
everything for me and not to mention all
the shades this comes in I mean you can
find your match in this powder
foundation so this is my number one Holy
Grail powder foundation so that
foundation that I left out a little
while ago it was Estee Lauder Double
Wear I know I know I mean I have how
many videos where I cover Estee Lauder
Double Wear I think I was thinking that
the Too Faced peach perfect kind of
covered everything that this would cover
but it really doesn't because when I
need a full coverage option this is what
I reach for for the simple fact that I
can get full coverage that is
bulletproof
it wears forever but it never looks
cakey and if you have tried this and it
has looked cakey on you I'm gonna direct
you to my video below for how to apply
it proper
to where it won't look cakey because you
can have this looking so beautiful on
your skin and it wears like nothing else
all day all night and it is billable
from medium to full coverage it covers
everything and it doesn't look like a
mask now it does not matter fie as much
as the two-faced peach perfect but I
don't look Gracie with it either for me
it's kind of a velvety soft matte finish
I guess that can kind of get a little
bit satiny I do have to touch up with it
more than with the two-faced peach
perfect but this is so holy grail for me
it's been in my life for 20-something
years it's a great mixer too if you have
another foundation that you want to get
a little bit more coverage out of and
have lasts longer this is great to mix
in this could not be left out of this
video as my Holy Grail full coverage
foundation those of you that follow me
know this foundation is going to be in
this video I mean I am a broken record
this is probably the most versatile
foundation that I own and love more so
than any in this bunch so I guess it's a
Holy Grail foundation for me because of
its versatility but it's also a Holy
Grail skin like foundation that actually
gives coverage this is do your backstage
face and body foundation this is a
foundation that truly looks like skin
even when you build it from totally
natural coverage to medium medium full
coverage and I say medium or medium full
because as you build it it doesn't get
thicker on the skin but it starts to
cover things and you don't even realize
that they're being covered it's kind of
bizarre that way it is waterproof it is
sweat resistant this is so great for hot
weather and I know because I live in New
Orleans it is the heat and humidity
capital of America I have worn this many
times outdoors and it has held up
beautifully you know have a few
foundations that hold up really nicely
in the weather I live in I mean that's
why all these foundations are in this
vid
but some stand out more than others a
lot of makeup artists keep this in their
kits because it is great for any skin
type for any coverage level and I find
that this kind of takes on the finish of
whatever primer I'm putting underneath
it really well so if I want you know a
more natural finish or a radiant finish
I can use that type of primer and this
reflects that if I want to matter finish
I will use a mattifying primer and it
blurs pores phenomenally I feel like
this is the Bobby Brown they fall in
that skin like foundations category they
look like skin while making you look
like you have really great skin that
have smaller pores you know I can't
imagine this not being in a top
foundations video ever so yes this had
to be in here for sure
I have tried numerous stick foundations
and never found one that I truly truly
loved I've found a couple that worked
well and that I liked but this one is
truly unique it has been totally worth
it for me because it's just it's just
beautiful on the skin and somehow it
lasts even though it's not a mattifying
stick like I thought that I would need
this is the Tom Ford traceless
foundation stick and I remember when I
got this I could not believe I actually
bought it and I didn't think it was
gonna work for me I thought it only
would work for normal or dry skin and
that's actually what it says in the
description is that it's for normal and
dry skin but I kept hearing about people
with my skin type that liked it
so I took a chance and I'm so glad that
I did because I find that once I set it
with powder this gives me such a natural
beautiful flawless finish that actually
lasts a decent amount of time that's
been a huge problem for me with stick
foundations is that you know they'll go
on and look fine but then they slip off
or they start looking patchy as the day
goes on and there's just something about
this formula that blends out very easily
it looks beautiful on the skin it
doesn't settle anywhere as the day goes
on and it doesn't slip off my
case so I finally have a foundation
stick to travel with and that's what
makes it worth it for me it also feels
really good on the skin I've found a lot
of foundation sticks didn't make my skin
feel good I could just always feel them
sitting on my skin I can't feel this one
it's kind of like when you try ten
drugstore products and you could have
just bought the one high-end didn't
saved yourself that money I mean that's
kind of what I feel like I have tried so
many before this and I could have just
bought this one and been happy I was
really blown away by this I think I have
a full review on this or this is and one
of my foundation round ups if I can
locate that review where I initially
rave about it I'll put that below my
product listing down below I just did a
video on my Holy Grail best makeup

have seen so I'll be sure and link it
here for you leave me one of your Holy
Grail foundations that you think I need
