hi we're back and I just have to say first of all I'm so sorry that
this video is so late because I was on vacation when Fenty Beauty launched I
also hated doing the pre filmed videos even though I did want you to have liked
videos while I was on vacation I just felt so like out of touch with the
videos that were coming out I don't know if that makes any kind of sense but yeah
so we're going to talk about fenty beauty of course as you might have seen
and again I'm sorry I'm so late I don't know if anybody still cares cause
it's been talked but I've heard very mixed reviews so I just wanted to
try it out for myself and maybe some of you guys would like to
know my opinion I don't know but before we get into it don't forget
to subscribe to the channel and click the little bell button so that you know
every single time I upload because otherwise you just won't I did get of
course the foundation and I have I have three match stix one matte and two
shimmer and one Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter Duo so this is the pro filt'r soft matte
long-wear foundation you've probably heard of this because of so many things
first of all it's Rihanna it has forty shades was just unheard of
but I heard she said that she was gonna bring out more even more shades for the
darker skin tones and I got shave 110 I hope this is the right shade I feel like
from the swatches this was the closest to me there's a shade 100 which is even
lighter I felt like that was too light for me it's just really pretty and it
says to shake well so that's what we're gonna do
this is my two week tan I believe this is the right shade if it doesn't oxidize
so I debated on whether to get the primer or not I ended up not getting it
because people were so so curious about the foundation I wanted to test it on
its own so that I can actually evaluate the foundation and not the foundation
in combo with a primer if I like the foundation I might go back for the
primer and I see so yeah I've heard a lot of
mixed reviews to say the least so a lot of people said that this was amazing and
that it was everything they've been waiting for a lot of other people though
said that it was drying and oily at the same time and chalky and so we're here
to test that out and a soft matte is legit my favorite kind of finish cuz I
love Matt but I also have dehydrated skin so on first application I can
definitely see what people are talking about when they say it's drying I kind
of felt like a tightening effect and it's not even set I don't know if that's
I don't know if I'm being paranoid but it is a teensy bit cakey but honestly
I've worked with other foundations that ended up looking flawlessly and looked
even more cakey when applied so I'm gonna give it the benefit of his doubt
I'm gonna go for a second layer the coverage right now is yeah medium so I
believe we could build us up to full I'm just gonna go the most pigmented
areas of course right now all my areas are pigmented areas so it doesn't
oxidize a lot which is great I feel like I'm scaring you guys I'm so pale it does
feel a little bit cakey on building it up
it isn't setting so what I go like this it kind of drags on a little bit isn't
that cakey as you can see my blemishes look fairly
non patchy here is a part where it is a little bit more cakey of course as you
know but even then this is the worst one it takes a lot more work than the
perfect foundation to work it in but once you work it in it kind of looks
good and I feel like it will look even better when I set it yeah this is def
not self setting and it's still a little transferable which is fine with me
but at the same time it does have a drying effect that I don't know where
it's coming from I don't know I don't know I guess we'll see throughout the
day if it gets uncomfortable I hope it doesn't but we'll see
first before setting though I'm gonna use the one of the match stix and this
is a matte one the lightest matte one which is called porcelain and I just
can't get over how cute the packaging is this is this is how much product you
have this is gonna be darker than the Foundation which is disappointing I'm gonna
use this under-eye I don't know if I'm gonna like this at least under eyes I'm
gonna try to dab it onto my pimples as well I usually tend to prefer liquid
pasty pimple concealers just because you can build them on easily whereas when
it's a stick it kind of drags on to everything and I rarely use stick under-eye
concealers yeah no I don't I don't like this it won't blend it just
is there I can drag it out so yeah I'm not a fan of a concealer I set
everything up with my by Terry Hydra powder it does everything does feel a
little bit tightening a little bit drying which is weird because the
foundation doesn't set self doesn't self set itself doesn't set itself oh my god
but yeah I was going into the shimmer sticks now so first I'm gonna go into
chili mango which is this beautiful thing it's a little bit shimmery but
like a blush shimmery not a highlighter shimmery so I was applying it to here I
don't know if you can see anything there was a little bit here anyway what I was
saying is that it does apply rather nicely
it doesn't like wash away the coverage there which i think is great and
honestly I just love the color I feel like this would be great for summer more
than it would be for winter cuz of course it's like a cream product or for
people we're very low coverage foundation I
think this would be better then so in my ideal world I would not use this paired
with this I'd use this pair would like a lower coverage foundation that wasn't as
powdery and stuff but now I'm gonna apply it directly to the Beautyblender
oh definitely prefer this method
definitely going to use this more in the summer than winter but I like it and now
we're going to go into the actual highlighter this is trippin the other
one was match stix chili mango this is match stix trippin I think this is a little stiff for a
highlighter to be on top on this type of foundation I think for summer if you're
wearing almost nothing or like a low coverage thing it would be better it's
still a very like orangie type of highlighter which is unique and I don't
have and that's why I got this one I don't hate it I don't think it's a waste
of money such as the concealer is but I definitely think the idea of it is not
as well executed in the product I definitely love the color it's like a
golden Coralie shade okay it's like the second time this is happening I
don't know why my camera isn't recording but I've just applied the highlighter
this is a killawatt freestyle highlighter duo I got it again I love the packaging it is dis cute this
is mean honey and this is hu$tla baby this one right here is hustler baby it's
beautiful it's unlike anything I have in my collection I think it's like a golden
orangie things I don't usually love gold highlighters so the actually
feature one I knew I wasn't gonna like but this one looks beautiful mean honey
I can't even swatch there's no pigment coming out it's like a satiny setting
powder basically but the other one is very very pigmented and it looks like
this the foundation right now is a cakey mess I'm gonna come up close but it's
turned so cakey so fast I even so I don't regret buying that's
just for this part of the highlighter look at this mess
but also I just wanted to because the camera was off when I was applying the
highlighter I'm gonna just into this one cute little thing I'm just gonna apply
here a little so you can see that it is very powerful on a like one swipe kind
of thing mm-hmm I try to be a subtle highlighter kind of
person every once in a while it gets to me whoa now we'll see you by the end of
the day which will be like six to eight hours from now I gotta be honest this
does not look great I I have no words so when I apply the foundation it felt a
little bit cakey and kind of tightening right away when I did look myself in the
mirror it didn't look that bad right after but then it's just guys I don't
know it just it looks really bad and I'm gonna come up close but firstly I just
want to mention that there's a lot of oil going on so when I first applied it
it was very tightening it seems it didn't self set it wasn't totally matte
so the soft matte kind of description kind of fits as a finish but at the same
time he was so drying that that type of dryness usually comes from a very very
matte kind of foundation which is weird so I said it with a powder and it's set
and became non-transferable but it was really uncomfortable for the first hour
or so and then all hell broke loose because I'm oilier then I've ever been
I think with any of the foundations that I have ever tested since I began this
series I have tested so many and even for example the double wear and the YSL
which were really matte they were like satin finishes and they
weren't as oily as this one is look guys I really wanted to love this you guys
know that I'm not like usually a bashing person I try to say pretty positive
about everything even when stuff is a little bit cakey but this was never
good it wasn't good at first application it only got worse and worse and worse
it makes my pores look like they're out of this world I've never quite seen
anything like it I honestly I was just talking to a friend about like why there
are so many positive reviews about this there are a few reasons why this might
have good reviews on other people of course every product reacts differently
to every skin type but it's quite puzzling to me that there are being so many
glowing reviews about it so here's a few things that may be happening if the person
review has like a darker skin tone then I explained this before and this might
be happening here as well you know like the paler the shade the patcher and cakier
it's gonna be and it's if you compare it to like lipsticks if you wear like a
true red or a true pink it's gonna probably look in a nice formula
flawless but if there is like a pastel-y pink a pastel-y coral or something like
that it's gonna look a lot more cakey and it's gonna look streaky it's gotta
take a little bit more effort to apply and that the same concept applies to
foundations and I've seen that throughout a lot of foundations that I
use and my sister uses the same and she uses like two or three shades above me
and on her it looks flawless and on me it looks cakey AF there might be a
slight kind of difference in formulation when it comes to shades because that's
just the way that his pigments reacts differently and as much as a brand tries
to kind of even out things between the shades sometimes it can get a little
kooky and that might be what's happening
another thing is that of course as you know and I'm always disclosing this my
skin is very very complex it's patchy it has acne I am undergoing a lot of acne
treatments so it's gonna be like blotchy and dehydrated
Oh dehydrated and at the same time because it's acne-prone it's gonna be a
little oily so I have that going on for me but still this isn't an astonishingly
bad foundation for my skin type so honestly yes well I do believe some
people might be getting along with that I also believe some reviews might be a
little more exaggerated because it's Rihanna and because she's really cool
I maintained that I still like the shimmer sticks a lot again the colors
are there and I think these would be excellent for summer the glow is still
there even though most of this glow is almost oil so I think I've covered it
all so that's pretty much it don't forget to subscribe to the channel
and click the little bell button to know every single time I'm uploading let me know down
below in the comments if you got anything from Fenti beauty if you have
the foundation and what you think about it because honestly i'll see you in the
next one
