NEW! *Maybelline Skin Tint vs. L'oreal Hyaluronic Tinted Serum* | 10 Hr. Wear Test Comparison!

What's up party people and welcome back to my channel. So we're doing it We're doing a product comparison a little this or that smackdown battle of the brand new Maybelline Superstay Skin Tint Foundation Versus the L'Oreal Hyaluronic Acid Tinted Serum Foundation. If you're unfamiliar with me and my channel, this is a series I do quite a bit on here called this or that where we basically just compare things side-by-side things with similar claims to where you know If you're shopping online or if you're in the store You're walking down the aisles and you see all this makeup around you and everything kind of looks the same This is just to kind of help you get some direction and kind of know where you want to go because it's pretty overwhelming So before we get started just so you know for reference, I have combination acne prone skin and also for a shade reference I'm in the shade 120 in the Maybelline Skin Tint and in the L'Oreal one I have to mix a couple because I cannot find a perfect match like I've tried five shades and nothing's perfect for me So I mix the shade medium and very light. So yeah without further ado Let's do a little product comparison of these two foundations. Let's do an all-day wear test and let's see which one is truly better All right. Let's start with the L'Oreal True Match Serum foundation first just because it's the oldest one. So this is $19.99 at Ulta So it's $20. That's the most I've ever seen it They actually say this is the first tinted serum foundation with 1% hyaluronic acid luminous mineral pigments provide sheer lightweight coverage for a brightened complexion While hyaluronic acid gives skin a hydrated feel and smooths over time So I'm sure everyone knows by now but in case you're looking at this and you're like, wait a minute Why does that not look like what I'm used to seeing? Normally it looks like this. It has a medicine dropper This is super messy Like when you put the medicine dropper back into the bottle it just kind of like oozes out the side It's just it's not fun to travel with it's not fun to store. It's just it's a wreck So I found these on Amazon these little like gold pumps that are supposed to be for the L'Oreal like the original True Match foundation But they actually work for the serum foundation as well. So I will link them below I think it's like a pack of two for seven or eight dollars. Yeah, it's worth it Moving over to the Maybelline Skin Tint foundation So this is $17.99 at Ulta, but they have 18 shades versus the L'Oreal one, which has 14 So I think that's a nice improvement So it says delivers bright buildable light to medium coverage for a skin like finish and a natural radiant look weightless feel up to 24 Hour wear resists sweat humidity and fading vitamin C infused vegan formula brightened skin insulin also over time So what I think is really interesting about this if you don't know L'Oreal is actually the parent company of a lot of mega brands But Maybelline in particular is owned by L'Oreal My theory about this is that L'Oreal first released the tinted serum foundation saw how well it did So they decided to monopolize the drugstore market and bring out Maybelline's version of this like it's the same kind of consistency the same kind of claims But the biggest difference is the ingredient call-out. So again the L'Oreal one its big call-out is hyaluronic acid Whereas this one is vitamin C and texture wise consistency wise they look They look identical they just look like different shades like even in the bottles they have the same look to them You can see this like shimmery like micro shimmer particle Iridescence to it like it almost looks like the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Falls filter like the way that looks in the bottle Let me get that out real quick not saying they're dupes They're not at all, but like the Charlotte Tilbury one has that kind of like shimmery Essence to like it just looks very glowy in the bottle. L'Oreal one has that same kind of essence I may see more of that shimmer particle in the Maybelline one So I'm gonna make sure to shake up both of these really really well So here's what my skin looks like without makeup on so yeah I don't really have any raised like super textured bumps like nothing's really inflamed or anything like everything's just kind of flat So I always like to use a stippling brush with this type of formula the consistency and stuff where it's more watery I'm gonna go ahead and mix up my shade So once again, I mix the shade medium and very light for the L'Oreal side I will say the bad thing about these pumps though is that when the product gets really low basically can't pump anything out So that's something that is worth noting So I like to do with these foundations and any kind of foundation like these like a serum foundation skin tint I'll lay it all down completely like lay it down with my finger and really like like I'll lay the product down Especially on the areas where I have more to cover up so that it just kind of solidifies and it gives me better coverage So I'll sit here for maybe 30 seconds to a minute we'll say you don't want to let this sit on your face too long before blending or it will get kind of Kind of dry to the point where you kind of lose the glow and it's a really pretty natural skin like finish I thought that's the reason why so many people love this because Natural satin skin like finishes will work well on like every skin type I'm gonna use my little brush pad again and try to clean off the excess. All right, mostly clean brush So going into 120 in the Maybelline skin tint I'm just gonna go ahead and Dot this all over my face kind of lay down The base work and doing this method where you lay it down first with your finger and kind of let it solidify and dry down also makes it work better with sponges So if you don't want to use a brush or you just like the finish of a sponge better by letting it solidify You're not absorbing so much product with the sponge Once again, I'm gonna wait I don't know maybe like 30 seconds 45 seconds something like that and when I apply it the exact same way in circular motions All right, so there's that side. So once again don't need to apply a second layer, which is very surprising So this right off the bat like if you do a little solidify technique will give you or gives me anyway full coverage covered up Everything the blending process on both of these is just effortless. Like it is so dreamy and like it they're fun to apply Yeah, here's a L'Oreal side Here is the Maybelline side. So let's turn on the ISO even more now get up close You check out my pores really get in there They both sit so pretty and naturally on my pores I really don't see a big difference from side to side like the texture I'm like the exact same there is a little bit more glow on my skin with the Maybelline foundation I feel like the L'Oreal one. It's just a little bit more of like a set-down Semi-matte finish. They're both super lightweight. Very very thin very like movable with your skin It feels like your skin like it feels like there's nothing on here. Alright guys, here's the finished look So once again, everything I'm used to they will be list below in the description box for a full-on breakdown Check down there see a little more glow and radiance when I move my head on the Maybelline side But I mean as far as how they look on the skin, they sit the exact same way It's just kind of funny about how not subtle they are about it They don't try to be inconspicuous at all. They put them in the exact same bottle the exact same packaging medicine dropper Oh, we'll put hyaluronic acid in this one and vitamin C in this one. They'll never know the difference I will say just from using the Maybelline one very consistently here recently. I have been Totally in love with it. Like for those of you that have been asking for an update like do you still like it? I am mind blown by it I've not had a bad day since I started using this and I've had bad skin days like today's a good one But I have had pretty bad acne days where I've got a lot of flare-ups and stuff and it still looks Amazing on my skin, which is very very rare But yeah I'll see you guys later on tonight to conclude the wear test and do a final roundup and figure out which one once and for All is better in my opinion. So I'll see you guys. Alrighty guys final checkout time So it is now 1208 at night. Our check-in time was 240, which means that we are what nine and a half hours working on 10 We'll probably get to 10 by the time we get done with this video because I've got a lot to say Just a little reminder. This is the Maybelline side on the left and this is the L'Oreal side on the right So I'm gonna do this in a couple of different parts. Okay, so part one is gonna be my observations getting up close Just kind of giving you guys my opinion like which one I like better the differences I see part two is gonna be the ingredient breakdown. So I've actually sat here for about 45 minutes going through Ingredient by ingredient each formula. So to keep it short and sweet. I see Very few differences. Honestly, the differences kind of balance each other out like it's kind of like a teeter-totter like, you know One may be better in one circumstance, but then it's got a downfall that the other one doesn't have You know I'm saying L'Oreal side I feel like held up better in terms of the cheap products like I feel like my cheap products are just going stronger like It just looks a tad bit fresher versus the Maybelline side where I do have a little more fading like the colors just aren't as Intense and strong that could be different factors. That could be because my little girl may have touched this side of my face more I don't know. Maybe I touch this side of my face more also on the L'Oreal side I feel like my acne isn't peeking through as much as this side where I've got some more fading However on the L'Oreal side, I see dryness and texture right around my blemishes right through here So anywhere where there was like a kind of textured scabby kind of blemish, it just looks more dry It looks more emphasized and just kind of powdery whereas I don't see that problem on the Maybelline side But the way both of these sit on the skin the way they sit on my pores Like how they look from side to side the finish of both of them You can see like the same amount of oil peek through on both sides like not shiny not greasy Just natural oils that come through the way that they're not settling into my lines. They're not creating lines They look like the exact same foundation just a little more wear and tear on different areas of my face So here is my conclusion. Okay up to this point like up until today's wear test I have enjoyed the Maybelline foundation more. I should feel like the Maybelline one I have to use less of it whenever my skin is really acne I have a lot of flare-ups a lot of inflammation the Maybelline one still pulls through like it still is a beautiful blending process It's still just erases over the blemishes. It just sits on them. So beautifully Look, I don't have to worry about them. Like just looking nasty and crusty and crunchy and weird I thought the L'Oreal one may have more of a tendency to look kind of thick because it's a tad bit more mattifying So you have to be careful with that. You can't apply too many layers. Whereas a Maybelline one It's just a tad bit more forgiving in my opinion. Yeah, I love both of these. I think they're absolutely amazing I think the drugstore absolutely killed it But if I were told that I could only choose one I would pick the Maybelline foundation. So now to part two, which is the Ingredient comparison like a little breakdown of the ingredients. So I am gonna pop up a picture of the ingredients I'm gonna keep it up until I get done talking about the little color coding system and stuff So pause it screenshot it whatever you need to do. I'm gonna try to keep it up as long as possible So yellow means that they appear in both formulas, so they may not be in the same order So maybe different concentrations, but it is present in both formulas You're gonna see a lot of yellow then green means that that ingredient is exclusive to that formula So there is no difference whatsoever until seven ingredients in. To me a lot of the differences just look like Wordplay like it just looks like semantics. For example, L'Oreal uses aluminum and I'm gonna butcher this aluminum Borosilicate and then Maybelline says calcium aluminum borosilicate and whenever you look it up You only see calcium aluminum borosilicate. You don't see just plain aluminum borosilicate So instead of the two formulas look in the exact same people easily figuring that out It just seems like L'Oreal decided to use like a slightly different variation of the same thing the same word I just want to make it appear different, you know, so just to kind of dumb it down. Okay, this is kind of my Conclusion based on analyzing the ingredients overall just kind of seems like the Maybelline one has more ingredients that are more for light reflection You know more of that glossy effect Whereas L'Oreal one where it does have ingredients like that the L'Oreal foundation is overall more mattifying So it's got more mattifying ingredients more for you know, absorbing excess oil L'Oreal foundation also has double humectant So it's got hyaluronic acid as we've clearly talked about but it's also got glycerin I was pretty surprised to see that Maybelline didn't have glycerin in there because I feel like that's in the majority of products and it's Pretty cheap. It's you know, it's they put it in everything because it's so cheap So I was surprised to see that there wasn't some kind of humectant in the Maybelline foundation But I mean with or without it still works really well So it's whatever and also again, this is based off my very minimal research and my very minimal Vault of information about ingredients. It just seems like the L'Oreal foundation has Overall higher quality ingredients in it, which kind of should be the case because it is more expensive Then let's talk about the vitamin C in the Maybelline foundation So this to me is a very clear-cut example of using the bare minimum Just to be able to legally put a claim on the front. There is technically vitamin C in here But it's in the form of ascorbyl glucoside Which based my again minimal research is a less potent but also very stable form of vitamin C I think it does turn into vitamin C in the skin, but they use it because it's suitable for all skin Like there's very little irritation that's known to be had with it Yeah, according to Paula's Choice It says that it maintains many of the same benefits as pure vitamin C It easily penetrates the skin, brightening and tone improving benefits enhanced by niacinamide Excellent antioxidant to improve skin's environmental defenses. When properly formulated and absorbed into the skin It breaks down to ascorbic acid also known as pure vitamin C Once absorbed its breakdown to vitamin C is gradual creating what's known as a reservoir effect within the skin This leads to longer lasting benefits So it does kind of seem like you know If you use it long-term it can improve the skin now whether or not that actually is the case with makeup I'm still kind of skeptic about that. But this is something that makes me kind of like Is the amount in here even worth it? it says that ascorbic glucoside is typically used in concentrations of 2 to 5 percent when brightening dull skin and fading the look of hyperpigmentation So because it's so low on the totem pole in the ingredients list It makes me wonder if it's actually even concentrated enough to do anything. Actually, you know what? I just turned my camera off and into the video, but there's one more thing I want to do just to test I like to know if products are buildable after they've been on all day long Like if you were to put your makeup on at 6 o'clock in the morning to go to work And then you get home and it's Friday night and you want to go out at like 8 or 9 o'clock at night But you don't want to take off your makeup and start all over like can you reapply the foundation and it not look cakey, thick, Heavy, weird. Let's apply some more of each foundation on both sides and let's see how they apply onto an already set base So for the Maybelline foundation, I do want to try the shade 118 which is lighter Not to mention if you are applying more foundation on top of existing makeup that's been on all day You probably do want some more brightness because your face is probably a little dull. It may be a little lackluster So you may you know want a lighter foundation. I don't know but here's the shade 118 It actually doesn't look that light like I can actually probably use that right now. That is Hot dog, that is beautiful. Yeah full layer foundation, cheek products, concealer, setting powder, the whole shebang and it still goes on Looking just as freaking magnificent as it did on bare skin. That is impressive. No streakage. No lines Nothing. It does not look cakey. It does not look extra thick extra heavy. It just looks Like I applied my foundation for the first time. That is amazing. Yeah, I'm gonna do the exact same thing on this side already I've had to use more product to distribute across my face Not a big deal, but it's just more product even looking at the back of my hand Like the the L'Oreal foundation just looks just more mattifying Like there's just more of a dryness to it versus the Maybelline one which just kept looking juicy and glossy and stuff So I'm definitely seeing the mattifying ingredients like working in here Like I do definitely see that this one has a little more dryness to it. The Maybelline one is just more forgiving I mean, it's still pretty impressive like considering I'm putting this on to a set base that's been on all day long It's not bad. I'm just Comparatively speaking the Maybelline one looks better. It blended out better. It's just it's just overall better for me Yeah, these are definitely foundations that you could reapply after a long wear day like reapply them to existing Foundations and whatnot and it would still look good I hope you guys enjoyed this video and I hope that it helped you in some way I hope it helped you make a decision kind of gave you some direction.
