- It is very expensive, like my boo,
he did this whole week of spoiling me
and one of the things he did was
send me a $20 gift card to Sephora,
and I was like, sweetheart (chuckles)
I can do nothing with this, thank you for the gesture.
(upbeat music)
- Finding foundation of my skin color is very hard,
because sometimes people say I have red undertones,
green undertones, you know, I'm just multi black,
and it's really hard to find the perfect black for me.
- And there's always such a big jump,
from like one shade to the next.
It's like, no, I'm three shades in between this.
- Yes, like I feel like
no one talks about the black girl experience
of going from like ashy white,
to finally finding your color.
So let's bring this foundation in.
- Bring then win. - Bring them in.
- Fenty, Fenty, Fenty - Oh God.
You know she's opening a store near us.
(dramatic music)
- A whole Fenty store? - Yep.
All right, sorry,
Back to the video.
I love Fenty so much,
I think Fenty is a baddie, Fenty changed my life.
- I'm always face brought to you by Fenty.
- My soul was brought to you by Fenty.
- Yeah when sis came out with her first collection,
Being 40 Shades,
I was like, yeah girl. - That was it.
- We're here for it.
And then, and then she was like, you know what?
I'm gonna up the game. - Up the game.
- When I come out with concealers,
we're gonna have 50 shades,
and they're gonna match your foundation.
- I was like, literally all my life
I've never had a concealer that matched my skin.
- So that's why I love Aunty Riri also just cause she's,
(scoffs)
Aunty Riri support black businesses.
- Always, always support
black businesses-- - Yeah this--
- It's definitely spreading.
- Yeah that's what I was saying.
This spread very easily for me.
- Very easily. - I was concerned
when I first put it on cause I'm like,
oh, this is bright.
But-- - Very bright.
- It looked like the more you work it,
it kinda just said just sets in.
- But remember, she's the queen of oxidization.
- Yeah.
- So this does get darker as it goes on.
- Blender the forehead ladies.
- [Both] Blend into the forehead.
- And gents.
Now this one is,
on a little brush.
Is it a brush?
Look like a paddle.
Also, she's going on my problematic side,
do your job.
Ooh,
okay.
- Okay, I'm gonna spread it loose right now,
now she's blended.
- I will definitely say this one has more of a,
a redder undertone,
that I think is fitting very well with my skin.
- I like this color already, I'm not gone lie.
- I can already tell like where my line is,
cause this side feels so much brighter.
- It's, (laughs)
shine bright like a diamond. - Than this side.
Yeah, I will say I,
I'm kinda feeling this one.
Dare I say it better than Fenty.
(gasps)
I'm sorry Rihanna.
The Fenty color is just a little too yellow for me.
- I agree with her,
I think the consistency of the Fenty is better.
I think it's more thicker,
I think it will last a little bit more throughout the day.
With Black Radience,
I think you'll have to apply way more,
and you'll have to apply a lot more through the day,
but the color is on point.
I pick Black Radiance.
- Yeah, I would go the same.
I would go with Black Radience because,
it is a foundation, it is your starting point,
it is not the finish,
you're going to put more on top.
- I feel like more expensive foundation,
they just kinda have this weird color match.
- Well,
- Don't be nervous.
- Mine looked-- - It is bright.
- Mine looked like this before,
you just gotta rub it down. - Okay.
- Oh Lord this is bright.
Oh no it is dying down.
It is dying down. - No, expensive ones do that.
- I feel like I'm spreading wealth across my face.
- Yeah, I feel like this looks natural.
This looks like, oh, like, hi,
(laughing)
like I'm ready.
- I'm ready.
- I love the coverage of this.
If it's good enough for Lupita, it's good enough for me.
- So apparently I am one shade up from you.
- Yes.
- On this line of chocolatey colors.
(chuckles)
Which is interesting because,
we have 470 to a 495.
With the Fenty, we had
430 to 450-- - like, 440.
- To 440, 450.
And this is like no, you're right next to each other.
- Here's my issue with this.
It really sucks because it's like,
when you're in between and you are darker,
there's no options for you.
I have to be way to pale
or I have to be a color that isn't my color.
And then also it makes me feel bad 'cause I'm like
this isn't my color even though I am very dark.
It's just, it's weird.
- I'm very upset because yet again the cheaper version,
matches my skin tone so much better.
(laughing)
It's just, it's just so weird.
Have I really just been spending
too much money on makeup-- - Yeah you are boujee baby.
- Color aside, I would go with Lancome because it's,
very light, very airy, but,
I'm gonna have to go with the L'Oreal,
in expensive foundation,
for now because the color just blended seamlessly.
- I really liked the way,
like most expensive foundations feel on my skin.
Especially if someone who is very dry,
so it like, it really helps when I have like an oilier
or lighter foundation for my skin.
So I'm gonna go with the L'Oreal,
I feel like it'd be my new go to foundation
when I'm like at work,
and I forgot to put my makeup on
or I got an event to go to-- - Yeah
- Or something to do where I need like
a great foundation on the go-- - For sure.
- Also L'oreal, get more colors.
