Hmmm, trying to figure out why you apparently have a grudge again this vendor?  You've got folks posting here who have purchased and used the product, which apparently you haven't?  You post a youtube you found that dislikes the product instead of giving a personal annecdote.

 

Also, you brought up about the dry erase markers again, and "claim" the that marker just brushes off.  Have you tried to duplicate it?  I did.  It DOESN'T just brush or wipe off of skin.  It's only dry erase on non-pourous surfaces.

Re: DOLL Hyrdogel foundation??

I purchased this product when it was a TSV a couple of months ago.

 

I'm 62, some discoloration, a few fine lines and crepey dark skin under my eyes.  My skin is stil combination.

 

To get really good coverage, you do have to build it up.  It's not a once and done coverage like I can get from my IT cc cream.  It does not settle into lines and wrinkles.  It isn't as "hot" as my IT cc cream which I cannot wear in warm weather.

 

I thought it looked very nice on my face, it didn't last all day.  I do like it though and I don't need all day coverage, just special occasion use.  Another product I like both the feel and appearance is sold on HSN.  It's the "Ready to Wear Liquid Lift foundation"

I can't say enough how much I love this foundation. It feels weightless and covers well. PT doesn't settle into lines and wrinkles. It lasts all day. I love the blush as well. I am medium and the medium color works perfectly for me. I will definitely order again!!!!!!  

 


totally agree. I have dry mature skin and my makeup is on at least 12 hours and usually up to 14 or more hours every day/night. I find this to be a medium coverage but adding the concealer if you need one will help. I only use the concealer on days/night I don't get enough sleep and have darkness under the eye area, than I use the concealer but not usually.

The foundation doesn't settle into or show up any lines/wrinkles or pores and lasts the whole time I have it on and looks exactly the same without changing color like some do.

 

I am very glad I went on AD for this kit, love everything in it but the foundation for me is perfect.

Re: DOLL Hyrdogel foundation??

I have been using this foundation since the recent TSV, and it has replaced IT CC cream as my favorite.  I wear the fair, and I have quite a bit of redness in my cheeks and dark circles under my eyes.  I do find that I get better coverage applying with my fingers rather than with the brush, but I have found that with any makeup that I use. The brush works okay for the areas of my face that aren't red, but in my cheek area where I am most red, I feel the brush seems to remove what I just put on.  I bought the TSV on auto delivery and it's the first AD kit that I didn't cancel after the initial delivery.

Re: DOLL Hyrdogel foundation??

I really like this foundation and was rather skeptical it would work for me as I am 64 with oily skin yet some fine lines.  It holds up well on my oily skin and doesn't settle into lines.  I have worn matte liquids in the past but prefer this finish which is more dewy.  I've come to believe that a matte look which I loved in my youth as it helped with my oiliness seems more aging now.  I also find I like it better than wearing a powder foundation which settles more into lines as the day wears on.

 

I get good coverage with this and use the brush that came with it in the TSV.  I've found that less is more and I only need a small amount (less than what is suggested to use) to cover my face.  Since I really don't need the concealer that came with the TSV I put a tiny drop of it with the pea-sized amount of foundation I use, blend it with my finger before dotting on my face then blending in with the brush.  Using the concealer this way will make the foundation last longer since it is a rather small tube.

 

I'm glad I got the TSV on AD so I can get more of this foundation at such a good price.  I also like the blush and mascara that came in this kit.

Re: DOLL Hyrdogel foundation??

I watched and wanted the tsv kit when offered. I held back, undecided due to the reviews and comments discussing fragrance in some of the componets. Being scent sensitive, I ultimately did not make the purchase. Now, I'll take the opportunity to try the Hydrogel/concealer duo offered as the ODO. I'm curious and anticipating receipt of this pair, +brush to see how it'll work our for me. I use and enjoy Eve Pearl and IT foundations currently. Fingers crossed.

I've used the Hydragel Foundation and it's not a favorite.  The color ran a little lighter than expected.  Even so, I was able to work with it.  I liked the lightweight feel of the foundation and the coverage looked very nice upon initial application but disappeared after a short time in warmer weather.  It lasted a little longer when I've used it in fall/winter.  I bought the TTV last spring and it was a big disappointment so it went back right away.

Re: DOLL Hyrdogel foundation??

Everyone has given this foundation such great reviews but I just find it to be meh! The colors also run light. I am always a medium and never have a problem with the that color.Her medium is definitely a light shade. They should add another medium that is truly medium.

Before you buy it, please watch Kristin Gehm's review of the TSV on youtube.  She wasn't at all impressed by the coverage.


@Mellie32 So true.  I would never purchase this foundation again.  I love the Doll10 line.  I have several foundations here and have to say it's not the best foundation I ever purchased.  It has light coverage and I don't think there's a lot of product in the tube either.  I think it's a waste of money. 


I too was surprised at how little was in the tube....only 3 weeks worth! Kinda pricey. Also it is light coverage and disappears through the day. I usually wear mineral makeup but thought I'd try this but it disappeared by noon and even DH said "are you using something new on your face?" (and not in a good way). If you purchase it be sure and check how it looks out in the sun. I was disappointed it didn't work for me. Back to my Everyday Minerals.
