 I'm bringing you eight of the best drugstore foundations that I have ever used that are wonderful on my over 50 skin. Let's get into that video. Hi there girlfriends. So once a year I love doing this video and it's all about drugstore foundation and it's all about them being beautiful on dry mature skin. Now if you're over 40 you know your skin starts to change. I'm 54. I've been through menopause and my skin changed dramatically after 40 and so I had to change the what I was doing and the way I was applying my foundation and I do have a video that I very recently did which I will make sure I link down below. Try to remember to put up a card when I say that. I always forget but we're going to go through eight of my very favorite foundations that I still have in my drawer. I use these all the time. So many of them I choose over high end because they're that good and I really truly feel like you can get a drugstore foundation to perform every bit as well. Now I will tell you that I have supremely dry skin. I mean the driest of the dry skin and I do live in a really dry arid climate plus you turn the heat on and then it gets even drier. So I always look for something that is a little bit more dewy and I look for something that is long wearing and I look for something that has medium to full coverage because I do have a lot of scarring and darkness and redness right through this area. So I want my skin to look as even as possible. There are some options in here for oily skin or combo skin and I'll point those out but the main thing is is that these are all great on mature skin. Don't forget we have a numbering system. I'll put a number on the screen and you can go shop for that product down below in the description box. It seems to make everything so much easier for everybody to not have to remember the name of the product every time. Alright this is going to be in no particular order. Usually I rank them backwards but it's going to be in no particular order because recently I have found some that have really impressed me. Now let me just start out with what I have on today. What I have on today is the Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Pourless. I have it in two shades because I have one that I wear in the winter time when I'm not self tanning and then one I wear in the summertime when I am self tanning and it's on this side of my face right here. This is a full coverage and this one is particularly for people that have normal to oily skin. Sorry normal combo oily skin so you should be able to wear this. However for me as a dry skin gal this is a flawless foundation. It goes on so evenly. It really helps to blur out my large pores. It covers everything. I would say that it's probably a medium to full coverage buildable, medium buildable coverage and it really lasts all day long. I feel like they really could have put this in an Estee Lauder or a Lancome jar and sold it as a high-end foundation. I actually feel like that with most of these. They really have stepped up their game and this has just been a great foundation for so many people and I get great feedback when I show this and people go out and buy it. They come back and they're like where has this been my whole life? So this is a great foundation for anybody that has mature skin and very long wearing. The next one that I want to show you is what I have on this side of my face and this for so so long was my Rider Die Foundation and I would still say I have like three very top foundations that if I'm wanting to look my most flawless I will go to those foundations. This one is the number seven Lift and Luminate Triple Action Serum Foundation. This has a sunscreen of 15 in it SPF of 15 and again I have my light color and I have my summer tanning color in here. I'll make sure that I list all of those and I'll put next to it you know winter or summer. Anyway this is the most beautiful foundation because it feels light and yet it covers and I have been raving about this ever since my channel started. Now everybody was kind of freaking out because they were having a hard time finding it but what happened is I contacted number seven. They've they've been in contact with me for a while. I am on their PR list but I only get PR from them like once every two years. I didn't get this from them but they told me that they are repackaging some of their stuff so that's why you're having a little bit of a hard time finding it but so pretty. It really just covers everything. It lasts all day. I do feel like sometimes especially if I wear this in the summer when it's really hot and I'm sweaty I do feel like I have to powder this to set it but I do that anyway with most foundations just because you know foundations move around the concealer moves around so powder is your best friend but if you don't like powder counteract it with just a little bit of setting spray on top of it and it will take the powder down but yes this is has been a holy grail for me for such a long time and it really is a wow foundation. The next one is one that I kind of got away from and I didn't have it for a long time like I knew about this years ago before I ever had a YouTube channel. I would pick up the Flower Beauty Light Illusion and let me read the rest of it because I can't read without the spectacles. Okay Light Illusion Luminous Makeup Nude Skin Feel All Day Wear SPF 18. It really is an all day wear and it doesn't feel heavy. That's what's the the beauty of it. I really enjoy that about it. Now one of the things that I do kind of have a bone to pick about this foundation even though they came out with a bunch more shades they all pull really warm and that was one thing that really you know I kind of shied away from is probably why I didn't have it for a long time but I can counteract it with these two products that I'll show you next but it will like oxidize like one shade so you have to be a little bit careful about that but if you do use the mix-ins that I'm going to show you it works great but the great thing about it is how beautiful this feels on your skin. Again it's covering everything. I would say this is a light medium to medium full if you're put on two coats but at you know just one coat you're going to just get this skin like finish so if you love the look of your skin peeking through but you want a little bit of evenness this might be perfect for you. Now if you're an oily skin gal I'm going to tell you to skip this one because I do feel like it's a little bit too hydrating but other than that even if you're combo this is probably going to work for you just powder it you know around your t-zone beautiful absolutely beautiful even the bottle is beautiful it has the pump and the bottle is you know decorated just gorgeous has this embossing on it. This is a great foundation it's one of those ones that looks bougie acts bougie but it doesn't have a bougie price so I love it. Now when I was talking about you know the mix-ins these are from LA girl they are the pro color foundation mixing pigments. Now let's say that you have a very orange foundation and it happens I mean you know this foundation is really orange and it drives me insane let's put a lot on so we can see. Now it's not looking too orange because my tan is on there of course but let's say for the purposes of this demonstration that you're somebody that really needs a very cool tone and you just can't seem to get it okay break out your mixing medium in the blue you're going to think oh my gosh what are you doing well you just need this little dot little tiny dot of it and so you can see how much I put on there that much I put too much on there on purpose that much is going to change this from a warm foundation to a cool foundation in no time at all it's going to start to look like it's almost too gray but if you're a cool tone or olive lady you're going to love this because all of a sudden you have that beautiful foundation now you can mix in a little bit more if you got a little bit crazy with the blue or whatever you can do whatever you need to here is the white okay I'm not this color I'm whiter than this okay I'm going to plop in a little bit of white there and you can tell mine are well loved look at that whoa yeah I love these things so I'm going to plop in a little bit of white and guess what I'm paler than pale and that is now a very pale foundation so really you can mix your foundations that way and fix them and be able to have your foundation and not have to throw it in the garbage because you got one that was way too orange now I will tell you that if you get one that's way too light that's kind of troublesome what I do is I buy a foundation that I absolutely love that is a lot darker and then I'll just mix it in with my really light foundations but because they don't have anything like that in here I wish they did I wish they had maybe a cool tone neutral tone brown that you could put in foundations but they don't but these have saved me so much money and I think they will for you all right if you're somewhere that you can't find number seven you might be able to find this one and maybe not because I have heard that this has been discontinued but I can still get it on several places online so I am so upset that if they really did discontinue this because this is so good this is probably the best foundation that L'Oreal ever made for a mature woman this is the L'Oreal 24 hour foundation infallible pro glow and it says it has oh I can't say that can't say it but it's kind of sunscreen and it's got an SPF of 15 radiant finished normal dry skin hydrating now they do have the pro matte and I'll tell you what if I mix the pro matte with the pro glow it's almost like the perfect foundation some of these that I'm going to show you here in a minute I'll talk about that same thing but sometimes when you mix in two foundations from the same company and they've made one for oily and they've made one for dry it actually ends up being perfect for the normal you know skin that you get in the summertime and that's the case with this however if you're somebody that is super dry and you like that glow and that radiance oh my goodness this is gorgeous this is just like skin like the other ones talked about but if you need the extra coverage you can put that second coat on it it just blurs out my pores my skin looks so glowy and dewy afterwards I reach for this over my Estee Lauder Futurist one a million times I think this is a dupe for it I put it in a dupe video before and this is a gorgeous foundation I think that if you've been having a hard time finding a foundation that you fall in love with this might be your holy grail after you try it if you've never tried it before so so good all right when I talked about trying putting two different foundations together you can actually do that with the Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Pourless there's also one that's smooth and dewy and you put those two together perfection this one is the Revlon color stay long wear makeup and I have the two different ones this they reformulated with a little bit of extra hyaluronic acid in it so it really does kind of boost that hydration on everybody's skin so the one over here is for normal dry to dry skin and then the one over here is for combination oily skin so this is a 24-hour long wear foundation and girls if if you have an event that you need to go to and you need it to last all day you might want to try the one that is for combination oily even if you're dry just moisturize really well and then go to that event after you've used this and you'll have it on by the end of the day I love this one because I have felt like for a long time that this is better than the Estee Lauder and I can't remember what it is but it's the one that everybody uses I'll put it up on the screen because I'm having a brain fart right now but yeah it is better than that because not only is the price that good but the wear time on this sucker is so so good I'm I'm telling you when you put your makeup on in the morning you know if you're not touching it and you're not you know not drinking eating and making a mess then you're gonna have this on in the evening and you're gonna be taking it off with your makeup remover it's so pretty it's very perfecting this is a pretty much full coverage foundation though so if you're somebody that doesn't like full coverage you might still try it but put some of your primer in it drop a oil drop a moisturizer something like that to thin it out a little bit um don't use too much just a tiny bit and you might love this I really love the way that this looks on my skin after I put it on it covers all of my blemishes and it evens out my pores and my texture it's a fantastic foundation and I've loved it for a long time okay the next one is from CoverGirl and this is from last year I did a review and you guys said oh my goodness you've got to try this one from CoverGirl you were right you're always right CoverGirl and Olay made the Simply Ageless Hyaluronic Complex in Vitamin C this is the 3-in-1 foundation so they're saying that it is your serum your moisturizer and your foundation and you can look right there and it's swirled around with an Olay product in there so you do get the beautiful effects of having skin care in a drugstore foundation how great is that so again I feel like this one is medium medium high to high coverage I wore this just the other day and I was thinking you know even though this has a moisturizer and a serum in it I felt like this one gave me complete coverage just right off the bat one go around one layer and it just covered beautifully so I want to say that if you're going to grab this know that it is a full coverage even though it does have those skin loving benefits in it you're going to need to you know thin it out if you're somebody that doesn't like full coverage or skip this one it might not be your favorite but for me and especially in the summertime beautiful in the summertime when I'm all sweaty it's great and coverage is fantastic wear time is beautiful it doesn't oxidize and as a matter of fact except for the one from flower beauty I don't feel like any of these oxidize on me at all just pretty pretty foundation and so glad that you guys recommended that all right for the last foundation I know when I hold this up everybody's gonna go bleh because we had the whole paint situation right it smelled like paint and that is the wet and wild photo focus and this one is the matte one and then this one is the dewy one and this is the dewy luminous one so you can see this one is really super light this one's really super dark and I got the dewy and the matte one to mix together now I never had that whole thing about you know feeling like it smelled like paint and everybody there's people that really hate this applicator I'm not crazy about it either because it looks like a paint store I'm not crazy about that applicator either however this product itself is I think it's really awesome and I'm telling you if you mix the dewy with the matte one it's beautiful it just covers it looks like skin it's not too dewy it's not too matte it's that perfect satin look on your skin and it gives you a little bit of a glow I love them together and plus the fact that I bought way too light of a one and I could get the dark one and they could be perfect color I've been buying this ever since it came out and it came out right around the time that I started my YouTube channel which was seven years ago so it came out quite a while ago and it's still going strong it's still one of their best sellers and it's still one that so many influencers will say try it it's worth it and at six dollars a bottle I think they raise their price from five to six but at six dollars a bottle you really if you don't like it you can give it away to somebody and if you're in the States you can return it so it really is a great one and it's really very affordable and I think that the two together are something very special so one of my very favorites no oxidation and really pretty on this on mature skin so that is my eight plus the bonus of you know helping you guys to learn what these mixers are I do have a whole other video on these and how to use them I'll see if I can link that to it was like three or four years ago so it might be a little bit outdated but you'll get the gist of it thank you guys so much for coming around and being with me today and I would love to hear what your favorite drugstore foundation is those recommendations to me are so important hope that you're having a great day and I hope that things are going well wherever you are and that you're not experiencing the four to six inches of snow that I'm supposed to get on the second day of spring so take care of yourselves come back around we'll be together really soon in my next video I love you so very much goodbye my friends
