Merit strikes me as ONLY for people with perfect skin. It does nothing for me. I am using make up Forever stick foundation and love how natural it looks. Thinking of trying Basma but now I think it will not cover anything. I have some melasma, sometimes some rosacea redness but usually well controlled. I really don't want to restart concealer use.
It was very helpful to have you compare these products. It's getting more difficult to know what to purchase now, the marketing is crazy. Thanks Shelbey!
Same thoughts about the CT stick, think it's been mismarketed and pleased I didn't buy it. Also not a huge fan of Flawless Filter. I do like the ILIA stick, find it works well for me as a medium coverage foundation.
I like this kind of review too. You really shine when you start comparing, contrasting and making suggestions with products. Multiple products makes way for a whole new conversation.
Just wanted to say what an amazing job you did on your collab with MOB beauty eyeshadows. I got both colors. Love them. Know this has nothing to do with this video, but I'm just saying. Thanks!!❤
Thank you! I might buy the CT stick during the next Sephora sale. I am using and LOVING the Fenty stick foundation!!! I’m 52 years old with normal to dry skin. The Fenty stick is so nice. The closest thing to the Fenty stick foundation, that I have found, is the Salt New York Sneaky Balm. Great products for mature or normal to dry skin.
Hi! I personally ❤ the CT stick, for under my base. A beautiful glow peaks thru and it feels amazing applying. I can see why it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, I have normal skin so it doesn’t get too dewy on me. I can even wear it alone if I set it with a powder. I agree about the ABH, that’s a nice one. The Ilia I need to play around with more, I didn’t feel like the glide going on was very smooth. I think the Lancôme foundation stick is 1 of the best out there! 😊 Have a great day. ❤ 8:18
Enjoyed this little round up soo much!! Wow that CT skin tint is glowwwy, glad I did not go there😂😂 The ABH stick is the only one that interests me at all…But that being said, I’m picking up the Basma foundation stick first…This one just sounds so nice and I know you love it for normal/dry skin!! Great video Shelbey!!
Thank you, great review. Could you please give some colour suggestions , eyes and lips for a strawberry blonde like me. How do you make up a red head. You looked beautiful today.
I LOVE the fenty skin tint stick, blurs and makes the skin look so good, perfect amount of light coverage. I hated the eaze drops and surprised by how much I ended up loving the stick.
I’ve only tried the ABH one out of those but as I do have dry, more mature skin, I really do like it. It feels more like skincare than makeup which I love that about it while providing a light coverage which I prefer most of the time. Thank you for the 411 on the other 2 products. Those will be a pass for me. 😊
I like the Fenty one, but I don't feel like I get enough product for the price. Merit is...ok, but with that one I found my skin has to be extremely moisturized for good coverage. I stopped purchasing anything from CT a while back.
I agree! 40yr F and find merit to be drying unless I really hydrate in layers but mostly use as spot concealer only. Ilia serum gets too oily. I’ve fallen in absolute love with the neutrogena sensitive skin serum foundation and radiant primer + serum. That combo gives light/medium coverage and everyone says I look youthful and glowing. ☺️ In summer o do have to set under eyes and t zone.
I can't remember if you have tried Basma's stick foundation? I'd love your thoughts on that one too. Maybe I'll try the ABH stick based on your review today - thank you! :)
Love your videos! You probably have enough stick foundations at this point to do a complexion stick showdown (after trying Tom ford, Westman Atelier, Merit and Basma, I am definitely team Basma!). Would love if you did an updated brush video- I see you use your makeup by Mario F4 (?) brush a lot! ❤
Shelbey, great review of these three products. Its always nice to watch someone you trust so that I'm not wasting money and time, running around to find it. I can't order the correct color online most of the time. Have a great weekend!❤️
Hi Shelbey, Anastasia Beauty Balm sounds like a good choice to me, thank you so much for trying it out. Please review Charlott Tilbury lipsticks such as Wedding Bells and Very Victoria, if possible :) Since we have similar skin tones I really appreciate seeing how they look on you. Also if you have some super light powder or cream blushes for a no-make-up option, please review a couple of them :) As always thank you!
Hi Shelbey, I’m a new follower. Have you ever done a video like this talking about concealers? I find I’m the same colours as you and like the things you like so I would be very interested to hear your opinion about concealers too! ❤
I'm on tiktok and instagram, but I come to RU-vid to watch long form content! So please keep RU-vid for longer videos and we go to tiktok and instagram for short-form content! It makes me feel better as well instead of watching hours of tiktoks hahahah
