You never cease to amaze me…
This was a great comparison and after watching this for me personally I’ll be picking up the Nars. It just looked smoother and less makeupy than the CT.
Reviews I have watched on these two foundations are all over the place. Risa, your makeup artist thinking comes through and tells us what we need to know for OUR skin and what we use underneath. Thank you.
What a thorough review Risa! I could see the difference. The NARS was much more smoothing over your texture. I'm pretty confident it would work better for me. Wonderful video! Thanks for this! Beautiful!🥰
I hope when you go to the dermatologist, that area is nothing to be worried about. Glad you saw it and are getting it checked out. Let us know you are ok!
I've recently tried beautiful skin foundation by Charlotte Tilbury and I've only started using Charlotte Tilbury makeup in the last 6 months . But I love beautiful skin foundation just utterly beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
I have normal to dry skin, but I think I’m going to try the Nars. I used to use the Nars sheer glow and loved it. I don’t like an overly glowey foundation, especially for my mature skin. Great review Risa. Thanks.
I have the same skin type and I really enjoyed both foundations! I thought they both looked lovely 👍🏻👍🏻🙌🏻 I feel like you can’t go wrong with the Nars one. Hope it works great for you!!
Thank you for reviewing these foundations!! I am 40 and I also have oily skin. I thought the Nars might actually work for me for a more natural look, but it did not. I used a primer and even powdered it heavily, but my skin ate through that product like acid. I also found the coverage to be way too minimal and I could see all my redness and sun damage coming through big time. I wanted to love the Nars, but I gave it 2 attempts in 2 different shades and it failed. I thought maybe I had picked the wrong colour, but at the end of both days, my skin looked the same: blotchy and tired 😭 I love Nars, and I am very aware of my oily skin, but I wanted to give it an honest try. I am yet to find a Nars foundation that works for me. I can’t blame the product for not performing on my skin type, but just wanted to share with my oily friends on here 💗
I liked the CT for the brightening aspect but it looked dry/cakey on me after wearing it a few times. I do have mature/combo dry skin. I just ordered the NARS, hope it works better for me! Thanks for all your hard work, Risa. You look gorgeous as always!
I had already been using the new Nars foundation when I saw this video. I have normal to dry and sensitive skin. So far, I am liking the Nars. I think the CT though looks like it is a bit more radiant which I usually prefer. I will probably end up trying that one as well. I really enjoyed your comparison of the two. Great video!
Nice review! I'd never be able to suffice paying this much for a foundation, but I liked how you tried both these two new viral foundations in one video! Maybe I'll be lucky enough to snag a sample of these foundations in an upcoming Sephora order!
Damn……Nars used to be cruelty free. And I loved so many of their products. If they ever decide to revert back I will be first in line with my list 👍 I enjoy the new CT foundation - it’s quite lovely but it’s not the holy grail I was hoping it would be 😔 I am 57 with normal to dry skin and my skin is in excellent shape. I prefer a dewy radiant foundation and this on my skin isn’t quite as radiant as I was hoping for. Don’t get me wrong - I’m using it and enjoying it. My hopes were a tad higher:) I think both look gorgeous on you but if I had to choose I would say the Nars looks a wee bit nicer/smoother. Happy weekend Risa 💕 Xo
Out of all the beauty RU-vidrs your my favorite! I’ve watched most of your videos and I’ve learned so much!! Long story short I’m 39 almost 40. Close to 6-7 years ago you wouldn’t catch me without makeup (I only wore drug store brands) Close to 5 years ago I stopped wearing makeup completely, started tanning and learned to except myself natural (was very hard and took a couple years but because I wanted to feel comfortable without makeup I was able to accomplish it) About 6 months ago I wanted to step back into beauty/makeup and boy was I in for it 😂 Makeup/beauty products are completely different from what I remember. Mind you I wasn’t into the RU-vid makeup world. Until I found you/you’re channel I felt defeated when it came to foundation and not looking like a clown when I attempted to apply it. I bought Mac, Ik Makiage, Too faced, Charlotte Tillberry (sample) Lancôme (sample) and some drug store. I was literally done lol Then I came across your video on Estée Lauder (mind you I have very oily skin) I’ve tried many primers and setting sprays that only made my oil worse) and in that video you spoke about Mac-studio fix primer so I decided to give it one more go. GIRL you SAVED me!!!! I absolutely love them both and they work so well with my skin!! I’m still learning how to apply and not look caky, it’s still a learning process because of how much my skin has changed over the years. I’m not used to large pores or texture, both bother me quite a bit. So thank you Risa for all you do 💜 You literally saved me 💜
Risa--I really appreciate your honest reviews!!! I also appreciate the fact that you try so many different kinds of foundations--I'm very oily and have been tempted by these and thankful for your review!! I agree with your assessments here, too! Thank you!
You didn't lose me even though I am (still, @ 61) oily. I enjoy watching you try all products and highly regard your candid opinions. You are beautiful regardless of products used 💖
Risa, it's also important to note that CT doesn't make a good color range, so that is a consideration for some, too. I can't wear the CT because there is not a color that is pale or cool enough. CT doesn't make a color for me, so it would be an easy choice for me. I think the NARS is better on you, too.
NARS always delivers in the foundation department. While I have plenty of foundation for at least another 2-3 mos, I am definitely interested in the new NARS ❤️🔥
I wish someone with mature oily skin would mix the Nars Light Reflecting foundation with the Nars Soft Matte foundation. It seems like both together would be a true holy grail 😃
Thanks for the thoughtful and insightful comparison on these 2 foundation. You do a wonderful job explaining for all skin types, which is why this dry skin woman loves your channel.
I hear you I have really dry skin, but love the way Risa includes everyone. I was just hoping someone would include a comparison of these two, and up popped Risa. She's great!
Thanks Risa for always addressing those of us with more mature dry skin. Knowing you give your honest opinion is why you have such a great following. I watch because I have dry skin and my daughter has combo and we both live in warm climates so it’s great for me to relay your advice. Also, you are the BEST for showcasing Megan Lombardi who I adore. I contacted her in early 2021 to do a makeup class/lesson for my daughter in California and she has remained a wonderful source of info. I recommend you & her to everyone👍
This was a great comparison of these foundations and why one might work better considering your skin type. This made it very helpful in deciding which would work better for skin types. Thanks 😊
Good to know the CT would likely get too oily on me. I wish I could figure out color with Nars foundations. I usually get a cool light to medium shade, ie fresco in EL DW, but the cool shades are so peachy in Nars. Cool does not equal peach for a lot of people. I thought one of the neutrals was almost better, but still think not great. I can wear the creme brulee concealer shade, but ugg the foundation shades.
As a person with oily skin, I mix a pump of the CT Beautiful Skin with a pump of airbrush flawless foundation and it creates the most amazing combo that lasts yet has a healthy natural finish. No NARS base product/foundation has ever worked on me so will give it a miss because from experience, it will look heavy, oxidise to dark orange and cause congestion.
Thank you for the review, Risa. I rely on you before making almost all of my beauty purchases. In addition, I have similar coloring to you so that helps me in selecting the correct shade. I think either one of these would work for me.
This is such a GREAT review Risa!! Both look beautiful on you but I’m going to go ahead and purchase the NARS foundation. I have some texture and it really looked smooth. I’m a light/medium with a neutral under tone and I always have a difficult time purchasing NARS complexion products online.
Hi Risa, This was one of your best videos. Maybe I think so because I never knew how many hours & how many different things go into your comparison videos when you rate two foundations in one review like this.. Anyhow, I have normal skin, and I consider myself to be one of your most faithful fans. Why should we not get benefit From your content Just because we do not have oily skin ? You teach a lot more than only "oily skin help". I'll always watch your channel because of all the expertise you have in all areas of makeup, beauty, and skin care, along with your great personality!!🌝 Thank you for this video. It was VERY HELPFUL!!💕🤗🤹♀️🌴🌹😎
Thanks for reviewing this for us! I’m definitely not planning to get the CT foundation. It seems like a no from everyone! I’ve had good luck with Nars, so I may pick that one up at some point! Though, my most recent foundation purchase has been Lisa Eldridge which honestly looks beautiful on my oily skin. Thanks for the video, Risa!! 😘😘
@@yvonnedohoney3243 I think it can definitely be tough to find a perfect shade in Nars! I really loved the finish of the CT flawless foundation, but the undertones were terrible. I looked like a pumpkin 🎃. I mean, a flawless pumpkin lol I’m nervous the CT would just not hold up well on my oily skin!
Funny that, because I’ve seen nearly ALL the reviews on the CT foundation and they are almost unanimous in the verdict that it’s a fantastic foundation...but hey continue blowing smoke up this woman’s a##e
@@Ionabrodie69 the initial finish often looks great! I personally have struggled with CT undertones (I’m in the 14-15 range). But I know lots of people struggle with Nars undertones and I do well with them! I’ve seen a bit of a balance between people liking and not liking the CT, but I certainly can’t say I’ve seen all the reviews. I’m glad there are people enjoying it.
The Nars definitely looked better on your skin. I’m curious, I’m 53 and my skin tends to go oily as well, plus I live in MS with 100% humidity. What’s your holy grail foundation for women like us? Thank you in advance Risa!
This is exactly the video I’ve been wanting to see, a side by side comparison on someone with oily skin! This video was so helpful! I really want to try the NARS foundation, but I still think that I will probably try to get a sample of it to try before buying it if I can. I am very intrigued by the NARS foundation, but I’ve never bought a foundation that cost almost $50, so I’d want to make sure that I was really wowed by it before investing! I am new to your channel, and I’m so happy I found it, I’m just loving your content!
Risa, thank you so much for this wonderful review. I have been struggling with trying to find a new foundation and because of you I finally have the right decision, I think I am going to go with NARS. I wish I had your talent with applying makeup. You always look so beautiful.
Great video as always. I have gone through my first bottle of Nars LR Foundation, and just have ordered the Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin. So, im so excited to try the CT! We will see 🙂
Great video! Thanks so much for helping us oily skin gals out! We probably don't tell you enough, but we really appreciate you! I was hoping you or Stephanie Marie would do one of these! Y'all are MY ride or dies! 💗💗
Amazing reviews as always. I so wish Nars where cruelty free because I would definitely invest. As an oily girl I’m going to pass on the CT this time 🥰
Yes I definitely see that the Nars side looks smoother and actually better! Not as shiny but kind of lit within for real! I like the Nars side! The CT side does look a little oily-er. Lol! Is that a word? 😝
Risa, great comparison video. I hope you will do a video on the CT matte creme eyeshadows that just launched. Also in a previous video you mentioned you are now using clip in hair extensions. Could you please share the link in the description box. Thank you
I really liked this video. I mean I usually love all your videos. I have psoriasis so have dry skin with an oily nose area but I think your videos have great information and I like how you seem so real and honest.
I must say I love the nars much better then the CT! I am returning the CT as I am not happy with it the color, look etc .. first time buying nars and I am in love with this one ❤️ ty again
I guess my skin is combo. I was concerned about oil and shine but this foundation is wearing great on me.I put Tatcha’s Liquid Silk Canvas underneath and use half a pump.The finish is beautiful. I top with her airbrushed pressed powder.
I have oily skin at 62. I’m loving the new Chanel foundation that is not for oily skin. I know In Summer this one will not work. I haven’t bought either of the ones you’re showing because I can’t buy everything. Thank you for this video Risa as this helps with my decision on whether to try another foundation for women my age. Xoxo 😘
@@MyCleverHandle I don’t think they make foundations for mature skin but some work better than others. I have normal to oily skin which seems to be rare in the mature skin. The ones that work for me at the moment is the new Chanel, Lisa Eldridge and Clinique’s Even Better Clinical Serum Foundation. I tried the new Dior and that one oxidized on me like crazy. I’m getting ready to test a foundation from Frankie Rose cosmetics that is geared more toward sensitive skin. Visit my channel if you would like. I would love to have you. Xoxo 😘
I bought the Nars and I have oily skin and knew the CT would not be the best choice. I have not had the best of luck with CT foundation either. Thanks for the review!
Love this video idea I just watched rage loves do it she liked the Charlotte Tilbury but I love when creators break down the two top products that are most similar and put them Head to Head I like when Samantha March does it too and I'm excited to see you do it
Risa I thought the Nars looked way better from the time you applied it and in all your check ins. I hate to say this but I think a lot of people hear Charlotte Tilbury and think it’s perfect but I’ve seen too many RU-vidrs proving there are even better drug store brands are as good or better!! Just my opinion!!
Hey Risa! This was a very helpful video! I could definitely see a difference between the two foundations on you. The side with the Nars foundation looked noticeably better. It just looked smoother and more perfected. One question - do you use the sponge wet or dry?
I tried both as well. (I'm normal/dry & "mature". Lol) I tried the CT first. That was the one I was initially interested in. On that first application, I thought it was pretty. I did however need to tweak the shade. Really expected I'd be buying it. So then tried the Nars. First application was nice, but I noticed I needed to build it up a bit on my cheeks. After that tho I really liked it. Added a third option into the mix tho. Decided to try the new, reformulated Dior forever glow. I instantly fell in love 💕. That was my favorite with the Nars coming in second.
Looking beautiful, fresh and glowy Risa! The Nars definitely looked smoother and would be my choice. Is it perfumey? I can't do scented face products. Thanks for the review! 🙂
Nars is NOT cruelty free but Charlotte Tilbury is cruelty free. The CT skin foundation is anti aging with rose extract, Nars is a bottle of parabens and chemicals. Easy decision. Thank you for the review of CT.
Thank you, Risa for this great video. So helpful because I was literally trying to decide, which one to get over the other. I have oily skin too and just picked up the Nars. 🥰
Thankyou for this review Risa I’ve been looking at the Charlotte tilbury foundation since it came out but after your review I shall be getting the Nars one
I have used CT Beautiful Foundation a few times and it works better with concealer underneath instead of on top. But it still doesn't stay as medium coverage as it wears down after about 6 hours for me. It does not live to the 16 hour claim which seemed to me a bit of a stretch for a light to medium coverage foundation. There are better foundations out there.
Thank you, Risa! I have normal skin. Decided to try the Nars. I have never tried either before. Wearing NARS for first time today. It looks beautiful but definitely light. Will definitely need to layer in the future. But for my sons basketball game with a mask on its perfect. Oh! I called Ulta for mine did not come with a PUMP! I thought I got gipped! Lol
I’ve been curious about these two and not sure which one to buy:. Great video thanks !!.. what I’m most curious about is which one has more coverage ??? I think I like the nars better
Hey Risa thanks for sharing the reviews on the two beautiful foundations I got my Charlotte tilbury one the other day & it’s very pretty on the skin but putting them side by side Nars does look beautiful on you I’ve not tried Nars yet but I’m looking to get one as it looks beautiful on the skin to great video as always 🌺🌸🌷🌹🇬🇧
Yes, get checked out! I just had a squamous a basal cell carcinoma removed from MY FACE…and using EFUDEX cream on yet another spot on my face! Scary but jumped on it FAST.
