$11.99 Foundation Vs. $40 Foundation: Who Wins ???

and to winter wonder week we have arrived we have stumbled upon day number three welcome so for day three today I'm flying in heaven I'm high up in the sky that backdrop is so blue I feel like I'm in the sky right now and I haven't even had breakfast yet woohoo so for day three of winter Wonder week I wanted to compare my holy grill foundation to a brand new drugstore foundation this hood a beautyful filter foundation as you know it did a video on it is my holy grail foundation it gives me full coverage dreams it gives me everything that my makeup addict soul needs and wants and desires this I don't know what it does this is the maybelline superstay 24 hour full coverage foundation and I've heard really good things about it so I was at why not compare a high-end really full coverage long lasting foundation with a low-end really long for my foundation so I'm gonna be testing it on my face to see how it applies to see how it blends just see how it works into the skin and then we're gonna go over top with bronzer highlighter and all that good stuff to see how it holds up after a big beating of makeup so if you're excited I'm excited I'm always excited it's day three and let's go all right so here we have my bear face and this is what it looks like today the redness is down because it's cold in my room and when it's cold in the room I don't get red so this is what it looks like and I was thinking maybe I can do a skin care routine slash my skincare secrets in winter wonder week as well so if you want to see that let me know down below let me know so the first product I'm gonna go in with I'm gonna treat both foundations like tare the same so I'm gonna prime the same way I'm gonna treat my skin the same way leading up to the foundation application so the first product I'm gonna go in with is you're getting sick and tired of me using this Hopf this is amazing cosmetics illuminate primary highlighter in glow this stuff is just I love this I can't get enough of it it's so nice so I'm just gonna work this into my skin with a brush on both sides treated equally baby alright so I'll be starting off with the hood a beautiful filter foundation because I have uses on camera before and we all know what it does for me and what to expect from it so it's easier to just get that on and then compare how the Maybelline does in comparison okay so here we go what a beauty as you can see it's a full coverage dream it just applies so rich so intense and it covers up anything it covers up your past it covers up the future it covers up the present and my favorite thing about it is that as you're doing it your skin still looks like skin but photoshopped and perfect and flawless this one is a hard one to beat because ever since I got this I haven't used a different foundation this has been on my face ever since alright so that is hood a beautiful filter foundation on the left side of my face like you almost don't need any additional concealer this is a must-have in your kit trust me now let's move on to the Maybelline 24-hour super stay foundation and online it says experience the superpower of makeup the high pigment foundation combats the clock for transforming 24-hour wear alright so this is what it looks like it comes with a pump and I am in the color 110 porcelain picking that up on my sponge and here will you go oh baby oh i see crunch oh my god damn alright this Maybelline foundation obviously is not here to play this is full coverage so as I'm applying it to my forehead let me give you my initial thoughts it feels and applies a little drier than the hood a beautiful filter it applies a little bit less smooth I have to work it in a tiny bit more I think both sides have about the same coverage of the on the hood aside it just looks a little bit more natural so if you're looking for full coverage like all the way but still natural I think hood a beauty if you're looking for full coverage and a little bit more plasticy it's Maybelline when I look at my skin really up close I see that well of course hood a beauty has dried in a little bit so far but Maybelline almost looks identical and that hasn't dried in yet so that tells me that the maybelline superstay is a little bit drier than the faux filter by hooda and I have dry skin so that wears me a tiny bit but it's nothing like fancy beauty Fenty beauty made me look like a desert other than that I definitely see that it minimized the appearance of pores it's not exaggerating any fine lines it's just looking like a veil of beautifulness on both sides so now let's blend in concealer over top to see if it blends nicely if it just works together nicely and let's see how it does on both sides are gonna be using the NARS soft matte complete conceal concealer and I am light – vanilla see and not every concealer blends with every foundation out there it truly is a test for some concealers to blend in nicely with the foundation underneath but I don't know how it will do on the maybelline side I will say after doing that natural makeup challenge it feels so good to take it on as you can see that blended in perfectly and traceless lee now let's do the maybelline side so far it's going perfectly I almost feel like I'm using the same foundation although again the Maybelline one is a little bit more dry but other than that it feels like I'm using the same foundation all over my face concealer is blending in traceless lis concealer is going perfectly and if I didn't tell you that I'm wearing two foundations at once right now you wouldn't be able to tell now we're going to bake my under-eye using the fit me loose powder by Maybelline this is my favorite powder to bake with and I know that the Hooda side goes really well with it and it's a Maybelline product Maybelline the Maybelline it probably goes really well too stunning goes really well and now use them some Cody airspun and a damp sponge I press the powder in all over my face for the longest lasting base of life yeah this condition is handling the powder really really well it's not shifting it's not moving around it's taking the powder and working it the only thing I'm noticing now that I'm looking in the monitor is that the Maybelline side is eyeing a little bit darker than the hood of Beauty side so that tells me that the maybelline side has oxidized a little teensy bit much more than the hooda Beauty side but there's nothing a little bit of bronzer can't fix all right now I'm gonna do my eye makeup and my brows and I'll be back to see if bronzer applies beautifully over top of this as well and blush and highlighter and everything so I'll be right back here we go in a 1 in a 2 in a 3 right so brows and eyes are applied and as you can see it did oxidize even though I powdered a little bit more so now we can see that this side is a little bit darker than this side although this side did oxidize as well this basically always happens to me and what I do to f
