Foundation Friday Over 50 ~ YSL All Hours Foundation!

The makeup industry’s churning out full coverage, matte, 24-hour wear foundations lately and in this week’s Foundation Friday for Over 50s I’m taking a look at YSL All Hours Foundation. I’m putting it to the ‘Angie Test’ to see if it lives up to it’s claims for mature skin!

I love your videos, especially the foundation Friday’s. I was wondering if you could review Prescriptives foundation?

What is your opinion about SD Alcohol and denatured alcohol in beauty products? Your holy grail foundations both have alcohol in the ingredients. I’ve read debates about whether these alcohols cause long-term damage to the skin. Your thoughts?

  Hi Mary~ I prefer products without sd alcohol because I feel it can be drying to the skin. I don’t believe that the amounts of alcohol in these foundations is enough to do damage to the skin but I always caution people with dry skin about the potential for drying. Best ~angie

Love your videos! My daughter is a professional princess (that is a real thing). So I have a lot of makeup to play with but a 24 year old’s makeup is different than a 54 year old’s makeup (the eye color pallets are a perk though). I too fell in love with the YSL base. I am still trying to find a primer to play nicely with the base. I don’t even mess with under eye cover up using this makeup. I found I just don’t need it.

Have you tried Chanel mascara? That has become a holy grail for me and my thieving princess. I had to buy 2.

I also was wondering if you have ever had eyelash extensions. The great thing about them is no mascara is needed. The bad thing about them is that is hell to put on eye shadow. I did it for my son’s wedding. I was curious if you had an opinion on the subject.

Keep up with your fantastic videos!

Angie, thank you so much for doing these Foundation Fridays.

I’m 43 and didn’t start wearing makeup until 40. It’s a difficult time to experiement! My budget is almost entirely family oriented, how-tows and reveiws tend to be for younger skin, and the rare tutorials that are aimed at mature skin very often advise “you can’t get away with the cheap stuff anymore”.

I haven’t gotten past tinted moisturizer, and mascara. I feel like I need my *skin* to look decent before embellising features, but good golly! foundation options (and rosacea challenges) are completely overwhelming!

I’ve enjoyed many of your videos, but the Foundation Fridays? Thank you thank you thank you.

-Laura

Angie, I was all set to buy the Chanel Lumiere Velvet, but the Chanel sales rep said I should get Lift Lumiere instead, due to its “firming & smoothing” ingredients. Have you ever tried/tested the Chanel Lift Lumiere? These are expensive items and I want to make the right choice. Your advice is invaluable to me! Thank you for all you do for us.

So I tried the YSL foundation and found it to everything you said and more. I also tried the IT Cosmetics Setting Powder, and the Smashbox primer and together they are life changing. No more greasy chin, and the foundation stays put. Thanks for doing the leg work.

You are so gorgeous! I wonder what you looked like when you were 35 because I can’t actually imagine you looked even better then than now! Thank you so much for doing such extreme close ups. You focus on all the issues I look for in a foundation.

Angie watch your channel regularly and love it! Do you put on sunscreen before primer?

  Yes, sunscreen goes on as the last step in your skincare routine before primer & makeup. If possible, let your sunscreen set up for 15 minutes before applying makeup.

I am convinced YSL foundations don’t get the attention they deserve, which is surprising given the success of Touché Eclat. I am blessed with the same skin concerns you address in many of your videos (large pores, texture), and YSL Fusion Ink foundation is one of the few foundations I have repurchased many times over for its longevity, lightweight feel, and ability to fill in my ever expanding middle aged pores. Ugh.

Angie, I am so in love with your channel! Your candor, humility, and intelligence make your videos a pleasure to watch. Will you be reviewing any spa tools in the way of red light therapy devices, personal fractional gizmos, etc.? I am 40, but generally mistaken for falling somewhere between 27 and 30, which I can only attribute to two decades of regular tretinoin use and LED therapy, but I’m dying to know how devices from other manufacturers perform, in case there is something better out there. Also, I have no experience with personal fractional lasers or radio frequency, and I would just love to know what your verdict would be!

  Thank so much! I’m really interested in getting an at-home laser so I’ll definitely be doing a review on that… I’m on the fence on LED therapy but will check into it more and maybe get the attachment for my NuFace! xo ~angie

Hi Angie, I’m new to your blog and have watched a few of your videos. I love how you go through the items so thoroughly. I’m in need of a new foundation and most of all a good moisturizer . I have pink in my skin and am sensitive to Retin A. I would love some information from you as to what you think are some great skincare lines to try. I’m 58 have fairly good skin. I’ve been using Origins for the last few months. I need something to help with tightness, lifting, fine lines and dark circles under y eyes. Any help you can give would be much appreciated! It’s all so confusing and there’s so many products out there I really do t know which way to go. Thanks so much!

  I couldn’t agree with you more on the confusing number of skincare lines and promising ingredients out there! My approach is to look to science for proof that an ingredient works and concentrate on products with those ingredients. Since your skin is probably too sensitive for Retin-A, you should use a retinol or Glycolic Acid at night. My preferred brands are ones that tell you the % of active ingredient like The Ordinary, Alpha Skincare, & Paula’s Choice. For specific products, take a look at my skin care routine videos: http://www.hotandflashy50.com/morning-skincare-routine-for-younger-looking-skin/

This one definitely interests me; the Chanel doesn’t do so well for me (polka dot pores – I really wanted to love it since it’s the best skin match I’ve ever had). Thanks again for your comprehensive testing!

Hi Angie,
Love your reviews! I am wondering what mascara you have been used in this video? Your lashes look fabulous as well as foundation.

Hi Angie!

Thanks so much! I can’t wait to try this one–can’t believe you are saying it’s in your Holy Grail category!!! That is reason enough for me 🙂
