"Best Foundations" Sold at Sephora

I am 50 with dry skin. Getting used to my new older skin I finally Splurged on good foundations I have five of what you mentioned. Armani luminous silk and the Guerlain our by far, my favorite. They make me look 10 years younger love it. You’re amazing so glad I found your channel.

Here are the time stamps: 0:45 Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation 4:14 Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Medium Coverage Foundation 6:13 Dior Forever Skin Glow 8:23 NARS Sheer Glow Foundation 10:19 NARS Light Reflecting Foundation 10:49 NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation 12:11 Armani Luminous Silk 14:46 Pat McGrath Labs Sublime Perfection Foundation 15:53 Guerlain Terracotta Healthy Glow Foundation 18:49 Dior Forever Matte Foundation 20:41 Armani Power Fabric Foundation 21:57 Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation 24:08 KVD Good Apple Serum Foundation 26:32 La Mer Foundation

I would love to see Lisa Eldridge being sold at Sephora one day. I absolutely love her foundation - and many more of her products.

For my fellow migraine sufferers: Guerlain - highly perfumed and a definite no for me. Dior - not as cloying but still a no. Armani: yes, I can do it. Scent is subjective of course, but this one is light enough and dissipates quickly. It is a cleaner smelling fragrance (almost like soap?) and I think that's why I can get away with it. I have dry skin and can still wear the Power Fabric for special occasions as Nikki said. The Luminous Silk is my holy grail for every day. I buy the mini and sometimes I mix the two. Haus Labs, Pat McGrath and Nars are thankfully fragrance free, but the Nars and PML are too peachy for me. The Haus Labs does have a light olive that could work but it has more glow than the Armani which is not great for my pores. It is pretty but not as skin-like and doesn’t set down as well. I have not tried the La Mer due to price/fragrance or the KVD yet.  I hope this helps those with chronic allergies. If you know, you know.

I’m 70 and live in Louisiana, and have used several of your favorites. The one that is my all time favorite and the one I always come back to however, is hands down Estée Lauder Double Wear! I know it’s not necessarily the most popular right now, but it is unbeatable in my opinion!

Can you please do a tinted moisturizer recommendation as well. I’m just not a foundation wearer but I do like tinted moisturizers.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do your tutorials. I did watch the entire video of your foundations. I have been wearing Estée Lauder Doublewear for 30 years now. I have tried switching up to others, but always find myself going back to the Estée Lauder double wear or the Estée Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue Foundation. I find for my money these give me the most coverage for what I want. I am a Retired Registered Nurse and wanted the long day coverage, so that is what I wore. I did try the Haus Labs foundation as a sample and two from Dior and liked them both, but they didn’t give me the coverage I needed. I am 67 years old, and don’t think I’ll change now. Thank you Nikki.😀🤗❤️🇨🇦

I was honestly suprised not to see hourglass ambient soft glow.. high end yes, but gives the most subtle glow “ambient” I suppose and it lasts ALL day! Love you Nikki🤍🤍🎥

Most thorough description of foundations I’ve heard! I really appreciate your honesty and evaluating each brand so I can make a good choice for my skin.

Spot on description of Armani Luminous Silk! Its skin-like finish is why it's my favorite. The undertones are chef's kiss.

So grateful for all the work you put in to these videos. Your communication is so great. Clear warm and not flowery. Big fan! Thank you.

Thank you for this summary. I’ve rewatched the full video and sections of it several times. I don’t even need a new foundation! I like the fact you’ve summarized everything. I own a few of these you’ve mentioned. You have changed my approach to makeup and makeup application a lot. You are the real game changer.

You literally do market and product research for us!! You are doing eight jobs in one! Thank you so much for your honest and always transparent expertise!! 😭 I always love your videos and how informative they are! Also, your voice is very calm and soothing along with your speech choices. ❤

This is what I do for a foundation bottle without a pump: take the cap off, then put your index finger over the top and press the bottle with the index on top and thumb underneath, and shake to mix. Then, put down the bottle, and that dot of makeup on your index finger when you shook the bottle, that’s what goes on the face. Repeat as needed. Not only can you control how much you put on, but it’s also CLEAN. No spillage, no dripping, all control. Hope this helps someone. 😁

A consultant at Ulta recommended the Pat McGrath, and i LOVE it!! I used to wear only chanel foundations or the armani luminous silk, but honestly i now prefer the PMG. It just looks better on my mature skin, and lasts longer than the Chanel and Armani. I also have the Dior Forever glow--i like it too but it doesn't compare to the PMG.

Love the luminous silk for dry weather and the Guerlain terracotta in humid weather

You’re wonderful Nikki! Thanks so much for your expert advice!

So back in 2017 when I first got married I used the Sephora mist airbrush foundation. What a throwback! Dior at the time just didn’t have a good shade for me. After watching your videos I thought I’d go back and try Armani luminous silk again and oh my goodness. It’s beautiful. When I was younger I just couldn’t make it look good! Now I feel like I can smooth it over my skin even with my hands and it’s just lovely! So glad I tried it and got it during the sale!!

The first video I watched was your all Sephora foundation video. I’ve been hooked ever since. Love your videos! I am always on the hunt for the “perfect” foundation. Can you do a video of the best foundations not sold at Sephora or Ulta 🙏

Dior Backstage is my favorite of these, especially since they have added shades that are great for light Olive toned skin like mine. The 2WO is perfection on me, and the finish is lovely!
