Foundation question

tbird — Sat, 22 Sep 2018 23:06:37 GMT

I would like to try a new foundation currently using IT cc creme. Does anyone prefer the Doll 10 Hydrolux?

I'd like opinion on the Doll 10 foundation too. I just ordered the "deal" with the eye shadow palette, etc.

@tbird I want to try Dior's Backstage face and body foundation. Weightless with coverage up to Full and tons of shades and undertones. It is $40 and exclusively at Sephora. Read about it and check it out. I am intrigued by it because it is sweatproof and waterproof.

I like Laura Geller. But I like the one that is colorless. It's amazing! I use the one with that has some color to it, but it doesn't work as well as the "old" one.

I guess everyone is different and we all like what we think works best for us.

If I were you, I'd try many different one's until you find the right one that's best for YOU!

i just got the new doll 10 set. it's the one that comes with the brow shaper and the foundation comes with a brush.

love, love, love. I am super picky about foundation, but this one i used the brush included and it was flawless. i have tried the foundation brushes in the past and they always seem to leave "streaks" ?? this brush the bristles are very soft, and it worked well.

btw i am fair skinned, 60 with neither dry or oily skin.

@Katcat1 I went to look at the new Dior Backstage. It is a matte foundation. It shows every line on the face. Get a sample before you buy, although Sephora has a great return policy.

Just bought Guerlain Baby Glow spf tinted foundation. It's very nice and offers just enough coverage while feeling very light. It's not shiny or glowy at all...just simply natural looking. Doesn't settle in lines either. I got mine from Sephora in the lightest shade(think its fair). I'm very light with a bit pink under tones. Baby glow has a bit of yellow undertones..I prefer more cool, but I use a tiny amount, and it's just fine. One warning...if you hate fragrance...this is not for you! It has a strong scent of violets. I happen to love it. Pleasant aromatherapy. All the reviews had positive comments on the pretty scent it has. Fragrance in a foundation is new to me, but I was pleasantly surprised. Its dreamy . Again...those of you who dislike fragrance in your skin products...skip this one. Strong violet scent.

@tbird I have no experience w/ Doll 10 Hydrlux, but threw away my IT CC Cream. I’d rather wear nothing. That foundation felt heavy, stifled my skin & it couldn’t breathe. That said, any foundation is better purchased where you can get color matched and given a sample. Many foundations will “turn” after several hours of wear.

I have no experience with the Doll10 Hydralux, but I did try the Hydragel foundation once. I don't know if they're two different ones or if one was renamed. I liked the application but it had no staying power. It disappeared rather quickly. I've pretty much given up on Doll10. Her lipsticks don't stay on very long either.

@tbird, Doll 10's foundations are all yellow based. If you that is to your liking, you may like their foundations. They get good reviews but I can't wear yellow based makeup.

@Tricolor Many makeup lines tend to have yellow based foundations...some more yellow than others. For warm or neutral complexions, yellow based works well. For fair or cool complexions or those who have any redness or rosacea, the yellow may counteract that providing a more neutral canvas. Bobbi Brown even has her famous yellow powder in her line to neutralize any redness. YBF on HSN also has yellow concealer and/or powder as a major part of their line.

I like Bobbi Brown foundation stick. It looks like my skin but better.

@Shanus, I know that many lines do this but I have found that I prefer a neutral based foundation. Hourglass is one of my favorite foundation lines and they have many choices for each individual preference. I can handle a very slight tinge of yellow but I found Doll 10 to be much too yellow for me.

@Fressa I’ve worn her foundation stick for over 20 yrs. I’ve never found another that was so easy, portable, blends well, light/medium buildable coverage...What more could you ask for?

I haven't tried the HydraLux foundation, but I would definitely recommend the Doll 10 HydraGel foundation. This is my favorite of any I've ever used. I still like my It CC cream and use it too, but I use HydraGel the most. I have very fair skin with quite a bit of redness. I order the fair, and it covers well, evens out my skin tone and is a good match for me. It also lasts throughout my workday. I apply around 5:30 a.m. and it still looks pretty good when I get home anywhere between 4 and 5:00 in the evening.

I saw the new IT Cosmetics matte CC cream SPF 40 in the blue tube at Sephora and they didn't have all the color testers on display - no light or light medium testers, only the fair and fairly light so I tried a bit of the fairly light and was not impressed. It was dry and thick and the color looked off like it ran dark as the fair looked darker than the fair in the regular CC cream SPF 50. I suspect that the matte product has oxidized in the tube or the brand has not done a good job of matching the shades from both lines. No wonder you never see anyone selling this stuff doing a side by side comparison of both CC creams. For that you have to do your own swatching in store or watch a youtube video of influencers who mostly got this product as PR.

@TY I’ve found that many CC creams are heavier/more cakey looking than foundation. They are color correctors and more pigmented.
