Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
So, today I am doing round two
of trying Il Mackiage Foundation.
And I have two other bits from their brand I'm going to try it today.
Now, I did this a while back, and I have
to say it wasn't with much success, but it's been
such a long time now and the brand seems to
be putting the adverts out there a little bit more.
I'm getting tagged in their ads,
I'm getting sent messages with their ads daily.
So I thought let me update and see how it goes.
Just before we get into that today, if this is your first time here,
Hi, my name is Robert.
I'm a professional makeup artist here on YouTube and also in real life.
And it's my goal to help you become a Pro
yourself or just someone who's really good at makeup.
So if that sounds like something you're
interested in, then do please consider subscribing.
I also now have an option of you
to join my channel if you want to, you absolutely don't have to.
And by joining my channel, you get to join
all the other members on an exclusive live chat, once...
not live chat, like a live stream, once a
month where I talk to you about makeup.
Maybe it's a lesson, maybe it's just a live Q&A
But I get to be a little bit more hands on, a little bit more personal with your
makeup, with any makeup advice I can give you.
So you can click the join button below and
see more information about that, if you choose to.
Okay, let's just get straight into it.
I did the quiz like normal, the quiz that
claims that it's going to match you to your
foundation, like spot-on, correctly, straight away.
This failed last time, I was very orange,
so it wasn't like, it wasn't the great thing.
And the thing that I always think about when I'm taking
this quiz is, there's one type of foundation they do.
They do do a powder foundation
But the quiz to find out your shading their main foundation,
it asks so many unnecessary questions.
How often do you wear foundation?
Do you want a full, medium coverage of stuff, things, other things.
And it's like, you have one foundation.
So what's with this?
Let's get to it, you know?
It's very unnecessary.
Maybe it's to recommend a primer, but I
don't know how many primers they do, I think it's only one.
But yes, so there's a lot of unnecessary questions.
So the first time I took the quiz this time around,
I was very precise and answered the best to my knowledge.
And then the second time I just
clicked anything and... but still concentrated on getting
the correct skin undertone and tone. And this time I was
recommended two completely different shades, so.
So before, I also tried two different foundations.
The first one was shade 105 and that was too yellow, too dark.
It was very obvious on the skin.
Foundation two, I got shade 120.
It was more of a neutral tone, which is what I needed.
But again, slightly too dark.
The concealer was good, I really liked the concealer.
Just the shade was maybe too yellow.
So this time I got two completely different shades.
So I got shade 40, which is quite a drop down, right?
And shade 60, completely different shades
to what I got before. Let's just do it.
I'm going to do one side, one side, and see how we go.
Oh, I was also recommended the concealers to go with those ones.
So we have 2.5 and 3.5.
So I'm going to use the darker one with a darker and lighter one with a lighter.
One thing I always said in my previous review
is I really like the packaging for this foundation.
I think it's magnetic?
Yeah.
I mean, I wouldn't personally keep the box, some people might like to.
And I do, actually...
the foundation is actually quite nice itself.
Expensive feeling, right?
By the way, this is a pricey brand, but I feel like
if you get a good shade, then it's worth the price.
Sorry, I'm really itchy here.
So, I've primed my skin like I always do with just a serum.
Okay, let's start. Shade 40.
And this is the Woke Up Like This Foundation, all right.
Okay, that looks promising.
That's almost exactly the shade of my hand.
Not that my hand is my shade, you know.
Oh, I've got their brush, I forgot. Let's try it.
So this is their... oh, brush.
100
Foundation Blending Brush.
And so I saw this, and I really wanted to
try it because I love like a big rounded brush for foundation.
I usually just use powder brushes.
Okay, so let's try... the scar side is the lighter side.
Lightscar, lightscar, remember.
Okay.
I feel like, just initial, like right now, impressions.
It could be a tiny bit darker.
So, it's good that we do have one darker.
Okay.
Oh, what do you think?
My ears are always red, so let me give them a little...
What do we think? It looks...
It looks like a match.
I'm actually surprised.
I know the brand claims that it's, you know, a good
match, but last time it didn't go so well.
So I'll be interested to see...
I think I always feel like I'm darker than I am.
Okay, so that's as much as I would go in
terms of coverage, I think that's enough for me.
You know what?
That is pretty much a perfect match, is it not?
Now it's kind of on the skin it doesn't look too pale.
Let me build it up a little bit more and just see how heavy we can go.
Let's do like, lets do like, proper like...
Yeah, you know?
You can get very good coverage.
Usually I have, like, these little red bits here.
So here's my normal skin tone, my normal skin tone?
My skin without foundation.
Obviously, there's redness, like everyone has.
Brush is really good as well.
And here's the foundation side.
It's sitting on my skin really, really nicely as well.
Okay, success so far.
Okay, so far, so good.
Let's try the concealer.
This is going to be shade... this is the,
oh, it's got some stupid name.
Oh, it's called F*ck I'm Flawless Multi Use Perfecting Concealer, shade 2.5.
Oh, that's quite, that' quite light.
I didn't get any more brushes from them,
I probably should have got the concealer brush, hey?
It's very lightweight.
It blends in really nicely.
It's been such a long time since I used this brand.
I just kind of forgot what everything
felt like and what everything looked like.
That's a good, that's a good like, together.
Like they work well together, okay.
Now I'm thinking maybe the other side
is going to be slightly too dark.
This is actually the lighter one, I believe
is the second option they gave me.
Okay, so 60.
I mean, it doesn't look that different, does it, really?
Maybe it might be a little bit yellower, let's give it a go.
Yeah, this one definitely is a lot more yellow.
This one's definitely a lot more neutral to me, I feel.
It's quite yellow in comparison, don't you think?
You can like, quite literally see yellow.
This is definitely more...
I feel this is my perfect match.
So this was the first one it gave me.
What did I do different? Yeah, look,
look, it's very yellow. Whereas this one, I feel like we
have that, the right tone.
And it's a nice foundation, okay.
The concealer for this side is 3.5.
I'm trying to think if there was anything particularly
different that I did in the first one.
I kind of answered all the questions, like, not the
skin tone questions, but all the other questions, correctly,
in the first round.
And then in the second round, where I got
this match, I just ignored all of it and
then just only answered the skin tone questions correctly.
They do do a returns policy.
So, perhaps maybe I should have just... if I wasn't
reviewing it, maybe I would have just opened this and
been, like, perfect, sent the other one back.
Yeah, I mean... you know what?
This time around, I'm impressed.
Last time, I wasn't very... I wasn't satisfied in any way.
Last time I went into a different room and got, like, natural daylight on camera.
I'm using natural daylight so this is pretty... well, with some lights,
but it's pretty much how it is.
Very yellow.
Extremely yellow.
More neutral... I can't see because my monitor's here,
but more neutral to my skin tone.
Maybe still slightly too dark.
I got one of their glosses, Lip Service Guilt Trip.
Just because I saw the color and I was like, that's cute.
Yeah, nice. Very comfortable.
Not as much color as I thought it would be, okay, anyway.
That's fine.
It's like a gloss.
Okay, I would love to know what you think.
Did you, have you bought this foundation? Let me know.
I am actually very impressed with this shade match.
I've had a lot more success this time around,
and I don't know what I've done differently.
I think I was a little bit more real
with myself and thought, you know what?You're not
those like, you know, Summer time tan options that you're choosing,
you are lighter. And I think I've got more
of a real representation of my skin tone.
Yeah, I think so.
Yes, anyway, I would love to know what you think below.
Do let me know if you've tried it, if you've had success with it.
If you've had the opposite of success with it.
And let me know which side do you think is my match?
Anyway, thank you so much for joining me.
Please give this video a huge thumbs up
and subscribe and I will see you very, very soon. Bye.
