- Like it's dewy, but it's not like wet look.
- It's pretty wet on me.
- Oh wow.
She's hot and dangerous.
(both laughing)
Watch out.
Depending on how wet you are,
that's the dew level right there.
♪ Hot and dangerous ♪
Kesha.
- Kesha. Yeah, I got it.
Hi, everyone.
Welcome back to Adore Beauty's YouTube channel.
This is a first for us.
- It is.
- We are a life duo,
but we've never done a video together.
- Yeah, we've never been caught on film.
- Yes. Together.
Because often people think we're the same person.
(Megan laughing)
So we're here to prove
that we're actually two separate people
and we both love the same foundations.
- We do.
- So we thought today we would talk
about our favourite dewy foundations.
We both like light to medium coverage I would say.
You sometimes dabble in medium to full.
- Yeah. If it's like a special occasion,
I don't mind a bit medium to full.
- Yeah.
- We also have the same skin type.
- We do, yeah.
- That's why our preferences are so similar.
- I actually cloned her.
So Megan, you've got four foundations.
I've got six because I couldn't decide.
So I was packing my little cosmetic bag this morning
and I just kept putting things in.
I couldn't stop myself.
- I tried to bring a powder foundation in.
and Jo said I can't so.
- Well-
- That's where we're at.
- I mean, look, you can mention it if you want to.
- So it's Aspect Powder-
(both laughing)
No, it's Aspect Powder Foundation.
If you're on here and you have oily skin
but you like a glowy look, I would go and suss that out.
And if you have a hydrating base on,
you really do still get a good glow.
So that's just like a little bonus.
- So we actually have a couple in common here.
First one we've got
here is the Giorgio Armani Neo Nude
True-to-skin Natural Glow Foundation.
That actually describes it so well.
- Yeah. That literally describes the finish of it.
- Yeah, it really does.
So this, I would describe less as a foundation,
more as a tinted moisturiser.
That's the kind of finish I think it gives.
- Yep. And in terms of the formulation,
it almost has like a gel.
- Yeah!
- It's not like a cream.
- It almost feels like you're putting a serum on
and then as you rub it in
it kind of starts to settle into the skin more
and blend in.
- [Megan] Yeah, then it emulsifies
into like a kind of light foundation.
But yeah, really beautiful.
- I apply it with my fingers.
What do you use?
- Oh, no. I use a brush.
- Oh, okay. Yeah.
No, I use fingies.
I think that works well.
- Yeah. Fingies work just as well.
That'll like heat up the product.
That'll glide her on.
- Yeah. I use shade 5.25 here so.
- There's 24 shades of this.
It is 67 I believe?
- 69 I think.
- 69. Um...
- Price check on aisle three.
- Oh, she's 69.
- She's 69.
- Where did I get a seven from?
- I'm not sure. Yeah.
- I thought 69 was a pretty easy number to remember
but anyway. (Megan laughing)
- I'm wearing half of it today.
- Are you wearing half?
- So I-
- In what way?
(laughing)
- So, with this foundation,
I really like to mix it in,
even when I've got like a formal occasion on
and I do want more coverage.
I mix this in because it gives that beautiful glow.
So I've mixed in with L'Oreal True Match today.
- Okay. I like that tactic.
Oh! Bit of bargain and bougie.
- Yeah yeah. I'm kind of bargain and bougie.
- Love that.
The next one we have
in common is one of our all time favourite foundations.
I actually got you on to this one.
- I can't take credit for this.
This was all you.
- So, the Designer Brands Hydrating Luminous Foundation
I would say is medium?
- It's medium. You can build it up.
You can definitely build her up in terms of coverage.
- The best thing about this is that it's $20.
Yeah. Absolute bargain.
But it is a dupe
of probably every expensive dewy foundation out there.
I'm not going to name names.
- No no no.
We'll keep it ambiguous - I think we all kind of know.
Actually, you know what, I can say
because she's discontinued.
The YSL Tushe Éclat All-In-One Glow foundation.
- You went there.
- They took it away from me. They discontinued it.
So that's what you get. - Well I think
they're reformulating in some way, shape, or form.
- This is a dupe.
Well, I don't think it's going to be as good so.
- We've got a lot to unpack there.
She's still got a lot of- - Yeah. I've had a lot
of trauma with that discontinued product.
- And it's actually got heaps
of skin-loving ingredients in there.
So we've actually got Vitamin A, C, and E.
So heaps of hydration.
- She feels really hydrating, doesn't she?
- Oh, honestly.
If you have dry skin to the point where you're flaking
or you got like visible texture, this will just hydrate it.
And I've never actually experienced something like this.
- Yes. She's very glowy.
So you will probably have to powder.
I usually powder with her.
I apply with the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush.
And then I powder just through the T-zone
and where I get a little bit oiler
because I have normal to dry skin.
As do you.
- Same, same.
- So we can't really speak for the oily skins
because we don't have oily skins.
- If you've got oily skin,
I would definitely like, roadmap your face.
So, definitely prep with a shine control primer.
Or another thing that you could do is just opt to use this
on the perimeters of your face.
So areas that you don't get as oily
and then use like a mattifying concealer
through like your really oily T-zone area.
- That's a good idea.
- It's a like simple hack
to get these types of products onto your face
without feeling like you're slipping and sliding.
- I will say about this one,
there is a bit of a limited shade range.
I think there's only about 12 shades?
- 12 shades at the moment.
- So there's not a lot to choose from.
I wear the shade 804 Nude Beige.
- Yes. I too am 804 Nude Beige.
- Of course you are.
- Of course I am. We're always the same.
Yes. Yes.
- So now we're going to venture away
from each other. - Go through yours.
- The next one I was going
to talk about is MAC Face and Body.
This is a cult classic.
I didn't get on to this until maybe 18 months ago.
Previous to that I hadn't tried it.
And I'd kind of been scarred from MAC Studio Fix Fluid
and being colour matched with that when I was 15
at a MAC counter and it was completely the wrong shade.
It took me a while to come back around to MAC foundations,
but I do really love this.
I think it's great for normal to dry skins
or anyone that's just looking for light to medium coverage.
I do find this is buildable as well,
depending on how you apply it.
I usually do a brush and then a sponge as well.
So that has a pretty good shade range.
She's got a new name.
- She's had a bit of a re-brand.
- She's had a renovation.
- She's had a reno.
So it's Studio Radiance Face and Body now.
All right.
I'm going to go in with Makeup Forever Reboot.
- (gasping) I was going to put that in my bag!
- I always forget about this one.
- Same!
- Really, really beautiful foundation.
This is more on the medium spectrum in terms of coverage.
And it is buildable.
With saying that though,
you can always sheer anything out.
I like to apply this with a kabuki style brush.
One of my favourites is Makeup Forever 117 Wavy Brush.
So there are 27 shades in this range
and it retails for $67 on site at the moment.
And my shade is Y365.
- My next one I'm going to talk about is-
- Talk about Ell.
- Ella Baché Superfluid Great SPF 50+ Skin Tint.
- You've raved about this.
- I love this.
- Yes.
- There is a big con to this though,
and it's a very limited shade range.
It's not very inclusive.
Currently it only caters to light
to medium skin tones though.
I do hope that they'll expand that shade range.
But it's got SPF 50 in it.
Reminder, that doesn't mean
that you don't wear another SPF.
You should always wear a dedicated SPF.
This is just an added bonus
that you'd be putting this over the top.
I think it's very, very dewy.
- [Megan] Radiant.
- [Joanna] Radiant. - [Megan] Radiant.
- Lit from within glow.
- I definitely need to powder with this.
I always get compliments
on my skin when I wear it.
And she is $55.
But again, yeah. Limited shade range.
So I don't, I don't talk about her heaps.
- Okay, so I'm going to talk about my last fave
and it is-
I know you don't like it.
So controversial here.
Joanna does not like one of my faves.
- I don't not like it,
I just don't- - She hates it!
- [Joanna] I just don't love it.
- She hates it. Come out and say it.
(both laughing)
- It is Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk.
You will find this in many makeup artists' kit.
So there are 40 shades in this range
and it has a luminous, radiant finish.
I would say that it's more on the medium side of coverage.
Very different to this. It's a step up.
- I think that's why I don't love it
because it's a bit too full for me.
- Yeah, it's more full coverage definitely. Yeah.
So this is definitely the step up in terms of coverage.
This was actually formulated by Pat McGrath,
who's a really well-known makeup artist over 15 years ago.
But it really only became popular
about three years ago I would say.
- Yeah. And also really good for mature skin types as well.
I think mother of the bride, it's the go-to.
- Yeah, it really is.
It is bougie.
I'm just going to come out and say it.
It's the elephant in the room.
It's $105.
- Oh, she's gone up!
- Yeah, she's gone up.
- Oh, she used to be 99.
- In my personal opinion,
if you are looking for a special event foundation,
it is worth it.
It's an investment,
but of course always work to your own budget.
(both gasping)
- Oh my God. Oh my God!
Oh my God, I've got fake tan on there!
She's hot and dangerous.
Don't touch it.
- I think we need to put some soda water on it later.
Buy some spray.
- Why am I sweating so much?
Is it the shirt?
- It's being around me.
Am I separated, Maddy?
- That's the least of our worries.
I've got a (bleep) sweat patch under my arm.
(both laughing)
Stop worrying about your hair.
- Look good, feel good!
- Yeah, all right. Okay.
Let's into the other ones.
So the last ones I want to talk about.
I'm going to do this one really quickly,
because you already mentioned Aspect.
- I did, yeah.
- This is the Aspect Minerals Liquid.
She mentioned the powder earlier.
This is a lovely product, especially if you're looking
for something that is a mineral foundation.
So that's kind of why I threw this
in here because there aren't any other
- (both) mineral options.
- It does dry down quite a lot.
I don't find any to powder with this at all.
It just kind of dries down into a nice satin finish
but still gives you that radiance.
- You won't get like a wet, dewy look,
like a wet look from it,
but you will get a glow.
- This has got nice hydrating ingredients
and antioxidants, et cetera, et cetera.
But shade range is very limited.
I've already spoken to them about it though.
And they are planning to expand their range.
So I just wanted to mention
that one as well as a mineral option.
And then the last one I want to talk
about is the Clarins Skin Illusion,
because I feel like Clarins is the most underrated-
- It is, it really is.
- -makeup brand out there.
Everyone thinks it's an old lady brand.
So, the Skin Illusion has SPF 15 in it.
I think it's got like 22 or 25 shades.
Has a very similar finish I would say to this one.
I don't think you've tried this.
- I haven't tried it, no.
- I would love you to try it
because I think you'd actually really like it.
- Well, let me just do a quick swatch now.
Oh!
- [Joanna] Yeah, see?
- [Megan] This is lovely.
- [Joanna] She's a real vibe.
- [Megan] That is gorgeous!
- [Joanna] I know.
- I actually like the scent.
It's got a scent, but it's like fresh.
It's like you've just put deodorant on or something.
- I think that might be me.
(both laughing)
- I think that's the men's expert coming out.
- [Joanna] Definitely do have to powder with this
because she is quite glowy.
But honestly this is such a nice foundation.
I'm just going to check the price of it.
- This would be stunning for mature skin as well.
Like I want to put this on my mom.
- Mature skin and it's $52.
So compared to something like your Luminous Silk
at 105,
I would say that's probably your mid-range
in terms of pricing.
- Good dupe.
- Yeah. Beautiful foundation.
Very dewy.
I wear the shade 106,
but I think I also have 108
and I've actually mixed those before.
So I think I'm like in between shades in this one.
And I think
that's a little bit buildable as well I've found.
- Well, maybe I should get her in the que.
- That's everything.
- So thanks very much for watching, everyone.
If you have any questions at all
just pop them in the comments
and we will get back to you.
- I'm sweating like a pig.
I'm going to have to go and change my top.
(laughing)
- All right.
Let's go get this girl a shower.
- Why am I so sweaty?
- Well, it's an exciting day.
We're filming together for the first time ever.
- I don't know what's gotten into me.
- It's like when you have a sleepover
with your friend for the first time.
- Yes! It is a bit like that isn't it.
- In like, grade two,
and you're excited but you're a little bit nervous.
- Yes. Oh, this has been fun.
- It has been fun. - I've really enjoyed this.
If you like seeing us together, let us know.
- Yeah.
- We'll do some more stuff.
I don't know what else we can talk about together, but yeah.
We can cross over in some way.
- We'll take it offline and we'll brainstorm.
- Yeah, yeah.
We'll brainstorm an idea
or let us know what you want to see from us next.
- Yes.
- Make sure you subscribe,
hit the bell button, and we'll see you next time.
- Bye.
