I have found that the best way to apply the air cream foundation is with their AoA buffing brush. I get a good amount on my brush and then warm it up on the back of my hand. Then I stipple it on. 0 tugging and a lot less product on the face. Then I sheer it out with a sponge around my eyes and nose (Iget dry there too) it looks waay better that way!

Shelly, you’re too cute with your little pony tails. That foundation looks pretty. Your styling it well. Your one busy busy lady. 😅

[cassiepathak]

This has been sitting in my cart, glad to see a reliable review

[Heather_A]

Looks dang good especially when cost is considered!!
Oh, yes, we need to see the new tees for order!

[reneklein]

I like the Wet N Wild Pearlescent Pink. Very pretty color.
I love your ponytails!
The Air Cream foundation looks really nice, unlike the other AOA foundation. I agree with the A-. Great job, Shelly. I wouldn't hive up life with csts for anything! Have a great weekend. 💖💖

[shayshaffer]

I just checked out your Etsy and I love it! ❤️ Especially, Mardi Gras Cat. 😊

[amandaf]

I really like this foundation colour on you. It doesn't make you look like a ghost on camera and even in your daylight shot the colour looked nice :). The eye look is gorgeous as always.

[RhondaMcLennan-sg]

You always look extra gorgeous when you wear berry coloured lipstick 💄

[lady_v_]

I wonder if you could blast it with the hair drier, or put in your bra, beforehand to melt it a little?.. Either way, it's an interesting product.. Thank you for trying it for us!!.. Much love from New Zealand xx

Life with cats - I bought a shelf thingy to go over the laptop keyboard because the cats would sit on it when I'd be trying to do my guided sleep meditation and then it was like listening to the chipmunks on the headphones - not fun. Anyhoo, that put a stop to them doing that but now I need one of those shelves for ME because at 5am the two kitties chase each other round the house and into my room and jump onto my chest to then jump on the windowsill. Ugh! "Get a cat" they said "It'll be easy" they said. Anyhoo anyhoo, when you applied the foundation at first in the close up I thought it looked like skin only better. Very impressed with this and at the price it's hard not to be even more impressed. Thanks Shelly. I've a cartload on MissA to check out and I think I'll be chucking this one in too to give it a try.

Your cat ❤❤❤ - she just want your attention🥰🥰🥰

Shelly could you please review the new ABH bb serum stick foundation.
P.S- I finally got true match in the Mac serum powered foundation, first I thought it to give it a pass but couldn’t resist myself 🤣🤣🤣 your review kept on haunting me. Looking forward for your review on the reformulated version of the OG studio fix that you sneak peaked in IG.
Have a lovely day ahead and take care you too.❤❤❤

[debbiejo]

I would love a video comparing seint, sneaky balm and blunder cover

[runswithsoda]

Not bad! You applied it well. T-shirts are looking good!

I'd be interested in seeing you review Wyn Beauty skin tint, Serena Williams's line. Seems like it might be good for summer.

[aleigha]

I like the foundation on you! It wasn’t nearly as dark as I thought it was going to be. I am very fair with cool pink undertones so i don’t know if I could find a shade. Maybe they will come out with more. I would apply with my fingers as well. I’m 52 and that’s how we applied all our foundation back in the day lol it’s funny to me how some of the younger people just can’t do that. They have to have a brush or sponge. It wore very well too! Performed well for the price I thought. I have to say also that I LOVE your Bakuchiol cream! I have dry skin and my skin just loves it. I will definitely be repurchasing and I am going to take a look at your other skin care products as well 😊 I hope you have a great weekend. Hugs! 💜🌸

[gfmiller]

The packaging immediately took me to Good Apple so I went back to look at your review and it's amazing how this fractional product was so much better. I could live with the stuff texture especially in the humidity of summer. I will absolutely pick this up and thanks for the review!

[micheleg]

I was wondering if a guitar pick or spatula might break the foundation up a bit, making it easier to use, kind of like Miracle Balm. I was surprised it performed as well as it did. Wish they had more shades and undertones. Love your squalane oil btw. A great product!

[helenstuckey]

Hey girlie how the heck are you??? Are you going to try the Tir Tir Korean foundation everybody’s losing their mind over? Inquiring minds want to know????

[SarahMcAshan]

All the rubbing to work it in, plus the heavy consistency makes this application a horror movie for me with my rosacea flushing and tendency to feel smothery (apparently that's a recognized rosacea thing, the smothery feeling). I'll give this one a pass. It looks good on you though, even in direct daylight. And I'm impressed by how your under-eyes look at the 11-hour mark zoom-in!

@goow Have you ever tested Believe Beauty Skin Finish foundation from Dollar General?
