Why You'll Fall in Love with These 5 Foundation Alternatives!
When you need a full-coverage base, foundation is typically the go-to product. But if you're looking for something that gives you a fresh-faced glow, that same, thick, opaque foundation isn't the answer. (Not to mention, many of the heavier foundations can lead to clogged pores and feel suffocating on your skin on hot, humid days.) That's where the best alternatives to foundation come in, which are lightweight formulas that offer sheer to medium coverage. In this tutorial, I'm sharing my top 5 favorite foundation alternatives and I get a feeling that you'll fall in love with these as well. I hope you enjoy this tutorial. Lots of love, Smitha

❤Which one doesn't have Silicone's/Dimethicone??? For us with Rosecea ...Thank you so much😊
What mascara are you wearing at the end?
Definitely going to try tinted spf with Milani concealer to spot conceal in certain areas. Great recommendations!
How to order them in Pakistan...cox it seems too expensive to order here😔
Thank you very informative and you are absolutely beautiful
Just when I thought I couldn't possibly buy any more makeup. There goes Smitha making a recommendation that I HAVE to try. 😊😊
😍😍😍
Yup
😚is anyone watching from india? ♥️😊🇮🇳 ! !
Yes❤
Yes
Not any many 😊
Yes
Many many
As someone who's super new to makeup (and basically just wants to enough to not look super dead by the end of the day) - this is SO helpful.
Absolutely excellent!!! You always seem to address cosmetic issues that I'm curious about😊 Your tutorials are so interesting and informative!! Thank you Smitha 👍🏼
Love this look at light foundations.Took me totally by surprise and will be purchasing a few of these.Thank you for inspiring me with your smarts!
My current fave is the WNW tinted hydrator. All the products look great on u. Thanks for continuing to teach us and recommend great products. ❤❤❤
Yes! This video is just what I need so I won't keep wasting my money on zero coverage products. Thank you!❤
I’m glad to see that you were able to put that sunscreen on the eye area. So many sunscreens are listed for the face but if you so much as get them near the eyes you’ll have niagra falls in moments! I struggle to get decent tinted sunscreen that doesn’t set my sensitive eyes off! Thank you 😊
Definitely in my top 3 of makeup reviewers ❣️ I absolutely luv you & how you truly review products & show how to apply the products so simply 💕
This was so so helpful! Thank you so much ❤️ I have Bern wondering about these alternatives, and now I will have some fun trying this out.
One of the best MUA on KZhead. Always fantastic advice. Thank you. ❤
Thank you. I now screen shot products before shopping otherwise my mind goes blank when faced with too many options. Love your demo and love you 🥰
Thank you so much for posting this! please do more videos for light makeup during warm months and for someone who leads an active life style in the city (sweat resistant)! thank you.
It's really amazing how you demonstrated it's so damn professional and perfect.I really enjoy watching your tutorials and have learnt many things from you.Thank you Smitha, and please keep up the good work.🤗
My favorite is the Beauty Blender beauty bounce skin tint. I cannot believe how much coverage I get from it. It’s so thin and lightweight and lasts all day!
No 7 with SPF 50 is a beautiful drugstore alternative!
Thanks for adjusting the lighting to make it easier to see how your skin looks!
Thanks Smitha for your recommendations and always sharing great products. Take care.
Another amazing video. Smitha you rock. You make everything easy for us. Lots of blessings and prayers for you. 😊
Thank you so much!
Thank you Smitha! Love the compare product videos. The way you leave one side untouched definitely helps the viewer see how each product provides coverage. Great video! Love all your videos❤
For oily skin I use Colorescience Matte sunscreen in Medium and it works perfectly because the coverage is good and as I already have oily skin it creates the perfect amount of shine/dewy look after a while but not too much.
Thanks for sharing!!
Perfect timing. Need to buy fresh supplies for the summer. Thank you!
I absolutely love your channel! Keep shining!
Beautiful!! Thank you. I have always preferred tinted moisturizers over foundations.
This video is a holy grail ❤ love your recommendations Smitha! xx
Definitely going to try the tinted spf with milani concealer for added coverage in certain areas. Great recommendations!
ColoreScience Flex is AMAZING!! I also have the glow. This product is wonderful. Not sticky, not heavy, light with a light coverage but does give a sheer look. I have sensitive eyes & skin & this product does not break out my skin or burn my eyes.
Recently started using tinted zinc sunblock as my foundation. Looks good. TY for all of the info 😊❤
Hey Smitha, all your content are so so lovely. If possible, please make a foundation alternative video for indian drugstore brands too. Would be very useful and helpful for us in India. TIA🤗
I just turned 61, and I rarely use regular foundation. Thank you for these recommendations. You are beautiful Sweetie. 🙏🏼♥️🌸
Extremely helpful Smitha! Thank you.
Thank you. Can’t wait to try them all lol They look great on you. ❤
Hmmnn that colorscience looks amazing am curious to try it ... i usually use l oreal concealer but the coverage is just ok ... will try color science soon ty
I literally just bought the Laura Mercier one!! I received it the other day but haven't tried it out yet. Excited to now!
My favorite is the Tarte BB cream. I'm definitely going to purchase this product.
Thankyou for this ! Always looking for a go to.. light weight all in one everyday coverage! This seems to tick all the boxes!
Hi Smitha, thank you, I always learn something new when I watch your videos ❤
Glad you like them!❣😍💓
Thank you soo much, I was looking for these products rather than foundation.
0:25 Smitha you are so beautiful, inside and out!! 😍😍 love this concept. I’m always wary of thick foundations so I am so happy to see some alternatives to play with!
Thank you so much!!
😄🥰
Love this video for the start of spring and summer 😊
Thank you for the tutorial. I’m going try these out. ❤
I am from Mandya, I watch every single episode. Nice technique, information. Good to see you again and again, thank you dear
Smitha, don't know why, coming back to this video again and again and again😊😊love you smitha❤❤❤
Hi, Smitha! I love this video.❤❤❤ Very informative, as always. I got laid off last year and I'm 57 y/o. I love makeup but since I no longer work, I don't wear a full face of makeup like I used to. But I still do want my face to look nice without heavy makeup, so this video is very helpful. I have the BM Complexion Rescue, but every time I put it on top of my moisturizer, I can't get it to apply evenly. Should I not wear moisturizer? Any suggestions would really help. Thanks in advance.
I was just thinking about this! I really wanted to find a good light everday coverage. Thank you!!❤
Glad it was helpful!
Your videos ROCK! Being of Indian decent and somewhat clueless about foundation, I really got a lot of great information from this video. A tinted SPF with glow sounded like a unicorn to me until I learned about the Colorscience glow product from you. I will be buying it! Thank you for your very informative content, especially for Indian skin tones!
Great video as always! ❤ I personally don't like to use foundation much. I will have to give these a try very soon!
I am a huge fane of yours i love the way you explain the whole tutorial and your make up is amazing
Once again…thank you Smitha … game changer.
Gorgeous and my favourite products mentioned!
They are ALL beautiful!! Too hard to choose!! :) Much love Smitha :)
I love the color science and bare minerals too!
Your smile is so sweet and pretty! Soothing
When the weather starts getting warn, I prefer CC to foundation. I just bought a tube of ELF Camo CC lotion in 01 Fair.(I am extremely pale) I've used Mary Kay's CC Cream before and really liked how it evened my skin out Smitha, have you ever tried Mary Kay cosmetics? They really are quality, right up there with MAC, Benefit, Urban Decay and other prestige brands. The only difference is they come to you, you don't have to go to the store. They reformulated their eyeshadow a few years back, and now there is little to no fallout. They have some great lipstick formulations, too, as well as some excellent mascara. I just thought I'd mention it in case you might be jnterested. Thanks for your VERY handy tips!
Very useful information. You are the best Smitha giving perfect and true information 👍I add to it that one day I used benefit primer and didn't hv no time to go further like foundation and setting etc. Got compliment at my work that my skin looked flawless and what did I do😊. Sometimes I like Milani concealer only. And yes tinted sunscreens are really worth it, it makes you look younger.
Thanks for sharing😍😍😍
That's the video i always wanted.thank u so much
My favourite youtuber. You are truly a life saver. X
This video was very helpful Smitha as I like a natural finish product but some coverage. Thank you ❤❤
You're so welcome!
You are just beautiful. I love your tips on hooded eyes, these have so helped me up my eye look and gives me an age-appropriate look. (Almost 62)
My fave in this category is EltaMD 41 mineral sunscreen. Tinted. Matte satin finish. It’s straight out awesome. Never cakes, creases, etc. light to medium skin. It’s amazing.
I use that as well as the abate Minerals!
*Bare
Can this will work for oily skin i hv oily skin
Can will work for oily skin i hv oily skin
@@mamtasharma-el6im I don’t have oily skin so I don’t know. It does not feel moisturizing to me so it may be fine. It goes on matte. You may also like super goop Mattescreen. It feels very dry to me. Good luck!
Smitha! I simply love your videos. I'm going to try the Tarte BB cream.
The blue one ❤
I don’t really wear makeup. When I do, it’s just a little pressed powder. Out of nowhere I noticed I have major dark circles under my eyes and it making me feel some kind of way. After seeing this video. I finally decided to buy the Tarte one. OMG. I can’t believe how incredible this is. You’re so right about how it feels in the skin. It’s like you’re applying clouds on your skin for real lol. I picked the correct tone for my skin on this first try. It blends so well on my skin. It covers my dark circles. I’m amazed. Thank you!
Which one mam?
I like the BB cream and the tinted sun cream ( your fave) . L❤VE you rings ! Thanks for another great vid Smitha ✨😘✨🥰✨💖💚
Found this really useful.Thank you.
my go-to is the fenty skin tint I love the finish of it and it feels very lightweight
Thank you so much for your valuable make up videos
Thanks for sharing this well needed info
Just got the colorscience sunforgettable glow total protection face shield spf 50. Pearly glow up close, but blurs at a normal distance, so will probably be OK on it's own or with use in conjunction with BB cream. I have mature light neutral undertone olive skin.
Love ur videos❤please make a video of eye makeup for eyes with dark circles....thanks 🤗
I like the tinted sunscreen one.😊
I sweat a lot in my t-zone. In summer its more difficult to wear sunscreen or any other cream as i start to sweat the moment i apply the product. Kindly suggest or do a tutorial suggesting sunscreen and makeup products.
Thanks it's been helpful as I want to luk natural. Less is better as long as its covers the dark spots n circles. I'm gona try it out. 🌷
I don’t have any of these but would love to try the colorscience!
This is perfect as I dislike foundation. Thanks as always! ❤
Love all your techniques, dear ❤ you are my guru!! Love ya❤
Thank you so much!
Wow all of them...need to see if i can find any at the stores...TY 💜✌☺👍
This is so helpful. Thank you
I have been using bareminerals for years and I love it Soo much..I mix it with glowrecipe and apply
finally someoned did what i needed a lottttttttt
TFS this was great!!!! I like bare minerals, colorscience & tart. 💙
Amazing video about foundation. I totally try the bb cream from L'Oréal 😊. Love from Greece ❤️🙂. Have a nice day/night.
TYSM! I needed this. ❤
Tarte BB is in my shop list. Thank you
Your demonstration style on this was perfect! But could you tell us please, which of these products is expected to give long-lasting wear without oxidation or other changes?
Thanks Smitha for sharing this video. I also love using Smashbox tinted moisturiser also have SPF. It gives amazing coverage 😁
Thanks for sharing!!😍😍😍
Very nice video Smitha! Thanks for all the tips! Have a nice day and good weekend! Have a good month and good week! 👍👏🤩🤩🤩
Thank you! You too!
@@SmithaDepak Thanks Smitha! 🤩🤩🤩
Love them all. Thank you
Your skin is flawless ya gorgeous ❤
I am watching from India and I have become a big fan of Smitha 😊💖👌🙌🙌
I really wanted foundation alternatives asbi dnt want too much products on my skin for regular office hours. This video is helpful
Since a few months I also only use a tinted SPF 50 sunscreen ! I use the Austrslian gold botanical tinted sunscreen. It is only in 2 shades but medium suits me perfectly. It even diminishes the sight of my sunspot quit a lot. Never foundation for me anymore!
I use milani 145 too...it's fantastic!
Thank you Smitha for another fantastic video ❤. Do we need to apply moisturizer before applying any of these products? Thank you!
I love using the It Cosmetics CC cream in place of foundation! I have gotten so many compliments. I do set with primer first. I also love the Milani concealer!
❣😍💓
I just counted all my foundations today (my granddaughter said "How much makeup do you have, Oma?") And I have 22 including the IT CC cream. Of all of them, my favorite is the IT CC cream. It feels like I'm not wearing anything on my face, but the coverage is amazing, and yet it looks like your own skin. Just better.
Very innovative and interesting. Sadly we don't get any if these here in india. But there are great alternatives now . The Indian industry is fast growing and has great products which work very well.
Excellent vid thanks!! ❤❤❤
Nice video. Can you please do a video on Nars tinted moisturizer? Thank you!
Génial encore cette video 👍 😍
