The hall of fame
Allie Glines's top picks.
The products Allie Glines has crowned best in their category, and brings up again and again.
The Rhode glazing milk is one of my all-time favorite skincare products, something I genuinely can't live without. If there's one thing from the skincare lineup that I think you need to try, it's this. It's a holy grail product for me and it deserves an award time and time again. I love it.
The L'Oreal Paris True Match Hyaluronic Tinted Serum is one I highly recommend if somebody wants to start into complexion products. The drugstore is a great place to start for beginners.
This is Summer Fridays Shade Drops, it's a mineral milk sunscreen and it is spectacular. I love this because it works so well underneath makeup so I love to use it as my last step in my skincare routine and then I feel like my skin is perfectly prepped for makeup.
I love the In Beauty Project Extreme Cream. I've talked about this several times before on my channel and it's something that I really really love not just for prepping my skin for makeup but also as a standalone skin product. It's so beautiful. This texture is very comparable to the Augustina Spader Rich Cream which is extremely pricey. This is something that gives you that same effect. If you've never had a chance to try Augustina Spader, which I'm sure is the case for a lot of us because it's so expensive, this is a really great alternative. But honestly I think it's a great standalone cream. I almost prefer this over the Augustina Spader one. It's really nice but this really does the same thing if not more. It's one of my all-time favorite creams.
If you do not have this in your routine and you want to make your powders look better you need a beauty sponge. This one's the original Beautyblender. I love to use a sponge after powder and I feel like it really makes the biggest difference. You can obviously use this for all your cream products too which is so nice.
This is a very pricey product and as much as I've enjoyed it, I also have to remember that I do this for a living and a lot of these products are sent to me. While I feel like this is a really nice product, I can 100 percent understand why somebody wouldn't want to spend the money on this, especially when there's other great skincare prep products out there. The fragrance in here is very distinct, so I can totally see how some people just might not vibe with that. I do like how it feels on my face, but sometimes you have those realizations too, like you know what, my moisturizer does the same thing.

"This is my favorite Armani liquid eyeshadow in the shade 18M. I love it because it very closely matches my skin tone, so it's really foolproof. This is great for everyday, but also great for a look where you want the tones to be something that closely matches your natural skin tone. It'll give you a really ethereal vibe, still polished, but nothing jumpy, no bright bright colors. It'll give a super soft, effortless vibe and glow to the skin and to the overall look."

"One of my liquid shadow options is from Armani in shade 18M, a light taupey brown close to the skin tone that works as a great base. I love the Armani one if you want to splurge."
"For eyeshadow that I've been really really enjoying a lot lately is this one from Natasha Denona. This one does have some shimmers in it, but it's mostly matte. I love this one for some of these more like pinky cool tone shades. I dip into this palette a lot on like an everyday basis. This might be a little overwhelming for like the everyday user, but if you're like a bridal makeup artist or makeup artist in general, or if you're somebody who likes to switch up your eye looks here and there, I think you would really enjoy this palette."

"I like these palettes because you can literally just combine the colors and make something custom, and it leaves the most gorgeous finish on the skin. These are such beautiful powders. I just want an ethereal glow today, and that's what we are getting. I think that Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette really amped things up.

"This is the Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette from this year, this is the jellyfish one. These are not the cheapest, which is why they really would make a great gift for yourself or somebody else. You get a bunch of shades and they're just to die for, they're so beautiful. This would make a very very thoughtful gift to anyone who loves makeup. If they received it I think they'd be very very happy. They're so beautiful, definitely a splurge."
Nikki La Rose Does My Makeup!!! 😱
"The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette, this is the original one, it's the lightest one out of the three. I like to just swirl into the two light shades over here to start, and add a touch of Soft Airbrush Glow. We love a Soft Airbrush Glow, the powder is so good. Then using a deeper shade now, just sitting those really close to Allie's bottom lash line. I love how these really elevate my eyes, they're so stunning."

"I've been setting my brows with the Rare Beauty Flexible Lifting Brow Gel. This stuff is so interesting, it's like a pomade meets a gel, so it gives you a really nice hold. It's going to give you more of that stuck to your head kind of a brow look, so if you're not into that you might not like this, but I've been really into it. I think it's really pretty. I've been really liking a little less filling in the brows, like a little more brow pen situation versus brow pencil for every day."
Ok fine.. Let's try "strawberry girl" makeup 👁️👄👁️
"I've been trying this brow gel, I've only worn it a couple of times but I really like it so far. It's the brand new Rare Beauty Flexible Lifting Brow Gel and it just really holds the brows well in place. It's almost a mixture between a brow gel and a brow wax, that's the best way to describe it. I'm really enjoying it so far."

My #1 Makeup RIGHT NOW 😍
"For brow gel I have been really into the Rare Beauty Flexible Lifting Brow Gel. It's just like a perfect hybrid between a gel and like a pomade, so it gives you that laminated effect but it's not quite as heavy as some of those pomade type products. It's a really good middle ground."
This Became My New Favorite Makeup Look 🤍
"Then I need to stick my brows up a little bit more, which I'll be using the Rare Beauty Flexible Lifting Brow Gel for that. I feel like it's so good for that type of an effect. I will kind of stand my brows up a little more than typical, and I do like the fluffiness of the front of the brow, so maybe I'll try to stand up those brow hairs a little bit more, just trying not to make them too high."

"For a good brow gel, I love the Rare Beauty Flexible Lifting Brow Gel. It's so nice. It's very waxy slash brow jelly, but it's not too crunchy, it's not too sticky. It's a really beautiful formula, and I reach for it all the time."
If I Took You to Sephora, Here's What I'd Buy You! 😍
"For brows I have a little brow gel that I've been loving, the Rare Beauty Flexible Lifting Brow Gel. I've talked about this quite a few times. It's so nice, it has that kind of laminated brow look and feel without feeling crunchy. It's a great middle ground between a brow gel and like a brow pomade, is kind of how I've described it in the past. The applicator is really nice, I find that my brow hairs really are able to be moved around with this. There's a perfect amount of product that gets dispersed off of the applicator as well, which is nice because you know how some of them hold too much product and then you've got so much gloop in your brows. I feel like you really can go light with this if you want, so I really do love that as well."

"For brow gel, honestly I've been rotating through a lot, but I really have been using this one still, the Rare Beauty Flexible Lifting Brow Gel. It's such a good brow gel. It's a nice pomade feeling one, but it's not too thick of a pomade to where it feels unbearable to wear. It's a really good formula and a great price point as well."

The Brow Mistake I Still See All The Time (+ Tiny Fix!)
"Once you've got your shape down, brow gel helps to keep your brow hairs in place. You're going to want to find a brow gel that's not too thick or too thin. This one's really good, I like this one from Rare Beauty. I'm just going to feather this lightly, kind of pushing the base of the brow hairs up, and then I always like to take my brow gel and kind of chill out the top so it's not too spiky. If you were to just comb your brows in the same direction instead, it's not going to give the same lifted effect."

"I'm going to take this on that same brush and kind of like set the drift eyeliner with this and then use the brush to create a bit of a shadowing. I really love that. These colors are honestly not exact, and I'm usually pretty good at matching exact colors, but I feel like these blues are quite niche, but I'm loving the effect that it's giving."

The Tutorial You BEGGED Me For!! (My TikTok Live Makeup)
"I only brought two eyeshadow palettes, both of them being the Makeup by Mario Ethereal Eyes Moonlight Palette. I used this shade as my transition shade, and I used the same brush and just pinched it and went along that lower lash line. I wanted a little bit of warmth so I took that pink shade and chucked a little bit of that into the crease as well. The eye look was honestly really simple. I took this sparkle color on my fingertip and just put a little bit of that all over the lid, and then I took the tiniest bit of a brown shadow and did just a little bit right up against that lower lash line, since I really wanted to make sure I had little details since I was going to be on camera."
FULL FACE OF MAKEUP BY MARIO...
"I feel like Mario always does the most incredible eyeshadow looks. My favorite favorite ever is the Ethereal Eyes palette, the original one that is not around anymore. My hope is that they are reworking this maybe into that newer packaging and I hope they'll bring it back, but I'm not going to use this one because it's not available. But it does look like the Moonlight one is still available, at least on his website. Let's start off with this shade, third shade in from the top row, and just start to sweep this through the crease and a little bit above to smooth out that transition area. Next, I'm going to go into this shade to add a little bit of depth on the outer portion of the lid, and then drag that into the crease as well. We're going to take this color right here, which is a beautiful kind of smoky mauve, and add that on the outer portion to further deepen and sculpt out."
Here's What I Bought at Sephora... 👀
"I did end up picking up an extra Ethereal Eyes palette from Makeup by Mario, just in case, I'm just going to put this in my backstock so that if anything happens to my first palette I don't have to worry, because apparently this is still limited edition. I feel like the blue eyeshadow is something very new for me, so that took me a while to get the hang of what exactly I wanted to create with that, but overall I'm really happy with how everything looks."
The ONLY Makeup I Need Right Now...
"We're going to start off with one of my favorite palettes right now, the Makeup by Mario Ethereal Eyes Moonlight Palette. This is limited edition but it's back apparently, at least for a little bit. I'm going to mix these two shades to start, I need a little bit of a lighter transition shade before hopping into the main palette I want to use."
Mario's NEW 🌙 Moonlight Ethereal Eyes PALETTE 😱
"I love this palette. I'm so happy with how the look turned out. The blue was the color, and even this topper color that had that blue undertone to it, those were the ones that I was the most curious about. It's very wearable. You obviously would have the ability to do something way more intense than what I did, but this is approachable, even good for everyday. I really loved using the Navy shadow as more of an eyeliner for this look. I think it made it super wearable and it makes me very excited for holiday parties. This is going to be a gorgeous palette for winter and honestly year round because you do have so many of those neutrals in here as well and you also have toppers that do lean a little bit more warm. I feel like it offers something different still than the first palette just because it's way more cool toned."
"I'm not the best liquid liner applier, but I'm hoping that this brown shade will be a little more forgiving. The brown seems nice. It's a nice like warm brown color. This is applying really well, though. I genuinely feel like I'm not the best with liquid liners, but it'll do."
"Today, let's use a L'Oreal one. And it's important for photo shoots to really be careful with mascara just so that like when things are up close, it doesn't look too crazy. So, I was very gentle and looked up close and took my time applying. And I always love a good lower lash mascara as well."

All 4 takes on Extensionist Mascara
We need to talk about beauty in 2026...
"The Extensionist from L'Oreal. This is a good one. This is a good everyday mascara. I feel like it's going to give you more length versus volume. In my experience, you'll still get some volume, but it's definitely more of a lengthening mascara for me."
The Products That Actually Stuck (Mostly Drugstore!) 🤍
"This is the L'Oreal Extensionist Mascara. It's what I'm wearing today, and it's a really nice everyday mascara. I personally can't really build it up the way that I like to when it comes to an eyeshadow look. I like to have something a little more intense for an actual eye look, but for everyday, this has really been doing the trick. I love the curvature of the wand. I love how it applies. I love how it just lengthens. I would definitely say this is more of a lengthening mascara versus a volumizing, but there's a time and a place for that. And it's great. I really love it. It just gives kind of like fluttery lashes, but it feels very classic. It's easy to apply because of the applicator. I've just really been enjoying it."
Unexpected Holiday Makeup That Looks Expensive ✨
"I have been hearing really good things about this new L'Oreal Extensionist Mascara. It has a cool, very thin curved brush. That was very easy to use. It's a nice mascara.

The Makeup I'm Wearing ALL SPRING 😍🌸
"The new Mario palette, I'm telling you it is so good. It's way better than the first palette. This is the Master Mattes Neutrals Palette from Makeup by Mario and I can't put it down. I think it's truly way better than the first one. This second color on the top row is just slightly deeper than my natural skin tone so it's going to add like a really subtle shading around my eye. Since this is a color that's pretty close to my skin tone, I feel like it just looks very natural and it's so easy. If I was in a rush in the morning I wouldn't have to worry about blending it perfectly because it just looks good all over the lid, just kind of like quickly pressed on. I have a favorite color in the palette too."
The #1 Eyeshadow Palettes for FALL
"For anyone that's a matte eyeshadow only girly, I would definitely look into the Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Neutrals Palette. This is another palette that you could definitely use all year round, but specifically in fall. I mean, these colors are fall tones. They're so beautiful, natural, neutral, matte colors. This is just the perfect palette for anyone who loves more matte looks. You could of course do several different things with this palette, creating dimension with a lot of the colors, but for me, for everyday, especially in fall, I typically go for just one solid matte shade all over the lids, under the lash line, and you can do so many versions of that with this palette. A lot of these look so good all over the eyes. You also get a matte black in here, and then here's the lightest shade, so really the range is huge on this. You can do so many things. It's just a good palette to have in your collection, and if you're a working makeup artist, it's also great to invest in something like this, where you can just have good groundwork pieces for your clients for your eye looks. This is a really excellent palette to look into for fall, but also all year."
The Makeup I'm Thankful For This Year 🥹
"I have so many eyeshadow palettes that I love but I got to tell you this one really does something to me and I don't know how I ever lived without it. This is the Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Neutrals. He launched the original Master Mattes which are more warm, but because I am more neutral toned, this flatters me more and I just wear it more. So I love it. I feel like there's a shade in here that I use every time I use this palette."

The first palette is great too if you like more warm tones where you feel like warm tones flatter you more but this palette is more neutral leaning cool which is what I feel like flatters me. This is what I've got all over the eyes today. I'm wearing the gray mostly on the eyes which I think is really nice. This is such a fabulous staple product. You can pair this with eyeshadow toppers if you want more pizzazz in your eye look but having a full mattes palette is really great and this one is my favorite, it's so nice."

"This palette has become my daily go-to. I think it's the perfect gift for anyone who loves neutral cool tones and it's flattering on most people. The mattes are really good quality and the shimmers and sparkly formulas are unbelievable. Even when they fade at the end of the day they leave such an elegant look on the eyes. Every time I wear that palette I get lots of compliments about my makeup. I have tried many other similar palettes but they just don't compare to Natasha Denona quality. This is definitely more of a splurgy gift but something that would feel so thoughtful for anyone who loves makeup. Plus the colors are so good, it really would flatter most people. It's great for everyday and a little more amped up as well."

"I'm really excited about this palette I think it's gorgeous it lived up to my personal expectations especially with some of these really gorgeous molten textures like this one right here the shade Muse is insane I love all the different like ethereal textures because you can really take it from day to night you have every matte neutral color you could ever dream of honestly you can make an entire matte eye look with this and it would be stunning. It has my stamp of approval I already am somebody who loves Natasha Denona palettes. I think the textures are gorgeous. If you've been thinking about getting it and you want to spend 70 bucks on a palette I do not think you'd be disappointed. 10 out of 10 for me."

"This is the Natasha Denona I Need a Nude Palette. I'm going to dip into the shade Wit, which is like a nice peachy pink, and work this into the crease as my transition shade. Then I'm going to take the shade Vague, which is like a mid-toned mauve color, and pop this on the outer third of the top lid. Next I'm going to go into the shade Ella and apply that to the center lid, this is a really beautiful bronzy color. Then I'm going to take one of my favorite colors in the palette, this center color called Muse."
My #1 Makeup from August 2023 😍
"I've actually been using this way more because it just fits into my everyday routine a little bit more. I already know it's my favorite. I already love the Natasha Denona formula in general. This is the perfect bridal everyday palette. It has so many beautiful elements to it. You got a great mixture of mattes, shimmers, some toppers in there, and the tones and undertones are just perfect for every day, also for special occasions. You really just can't mess this up. The packaging is beautiful. I'm just a big fan of this palette in general."
Full Face of NOTHING NEW: GRWM!! 😘
"I'm going to go into the Natasha Denona I Need a Nude Palette. I felt like this would be a great way to create a little bit of a base for the eyeliner look. I'm going to start by applying the shade Mesh at the bottom here in the crease, buffing back and forth as a transition shade. Then I'm going to dip into the shade Tender, which is like a little bit of a cool-toned brown, and I'm going to do a little bit of shaping and sculpting on the outer edge."
NEW "Warm" Palette from Natasha Denona?! LET'S TEST IT!

I’ve Tried THOUSANDS—The Drugstore Makeup I Always Repurchase
"This is the Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara and it is such a phenomenal everyday mascara. For me it has been a staple because it really just gives you soft and fluffy lashes. You can see how it separates, it lengthens, but it's not clumpy at all. I can build it up if I want to, but it really ends up being something that I reach for on a daily basis when I just want like a little natural definition with my lashes. It also wears beautifully on me, it doesn't smudge or flake, which is key. It's hands down my most used drugstore mascara. I can't live without this, like genuinely, it's too good."

"I like how smooth my lashes are looking. There's zero clumpage, which is nice. It just looks soft and feathery. I could see this being a great everyday mascara for a lot of people. It's just soft and it gently enhances the lashes without them feeling heavy at all. It's extremely lightweight, actually. It's so comfortable. It's very lightweight. Feels like I have nothing on the lashes, which is really nice."

"For me I can't wear it built up otherwise I look crazy by the end of the day so I'd have to make it more of a soft lash look regardless. It's not my favorite at the drugstore I'll be honest. I can see how some people might really love it if their lashes aren't as long or if their eye shape allows this type of a formula, but for me personally I've tried too many that are better so I don't think I will be wearing this often or maybe ever again. Smudging with mascara is literally my pet peeve. I can handle a little bit of flaking, which honestly there wasn't any really today at all, but the smudging I can't get past. I don't want to have to worry about my mascara smudging. That's a dealbreaker for me with the Maybelline Colossal Bubble Mascara."

The Best Beauty Products of 2024 So Far (Here's Why)
"I tried a new mascara this month and I haven't put it down. I'm sure you could guess this is actually pretty recent to my routine but I'm throwing it in my favorites video because I've been using it every single day since trying it and I'm obsessed. The L'Oreal Panorama Mascara, it is so good. This does not smudge or flake on me at all, which is so nice. The fact that it's from the drugstore makes it that much better. I really, really love how you really do get that fanned out lash effect with this. It just is nice on the lashes. I feel like it's easy to apply. I really like how my lashes look when I wear this. I feel like it holds curl, and the best part is it just doesn't smudge or flake. That's what I always look for in a mascara. I'm so picky with mascara, so this one's really working well for me, which I'm excited about."

UNEDITED Makeup Tutorial from Start to Finish
"I've been loving this. It really doesn't budge. I have noticed, however, that it takes a little longer initially to rub off or come off when you wash your face, and I've noticed that if I get it in my eye it kind of burns a little bit, so just be aware of that. That's like the only con. Otherwise it's been great. I've really really liked it, and I love that it's from the drugstore."

This mascara is really good if you feel like you want to try something new, and I don't think you'll be disappointed."

"I actually have a newer mascara that I keep wearing on a daily basis and that's the L'Oreal Panorama Mascara. I just like how this wears it really lasts so well on me. I really like the effect that it gives it feels very like fanned out and natural looking for every day. I love applying a little more toward the root of the lashes and a little more toward the outer edge just for a little more of like a fanned out lifted effect. I just love that I don't have to worry about this when I just pop it on. I know that it's not going anywhere which is so nice for an everyday look where I'm busy and I don't always have the time to like check up on my makeup. I just know that my mascara is going to be looking good."

TRYING DRUGSTORE ALLURE WINNERS 2024!!!
"I was so excited to see the L'Oreal Panorama Mascara winning award this year as best volumizing mascara, and honestly it deserves it. It is such a good mascara and it wears so well. It's building up really really beautifully on the lashes. I'm loving how I'm able to really build up the volume and it has a little bit of a grip to it, which is fabulous. This really did give quite a bit of volume. That mascara is really really nice."
Here's the BEST Drugstore Makeup RIGHT NOW 😍
"For mascara I have so many favorite drugstore mascaras but this one I feel like is really something special. It's just so good for so many different occasions and it wears so well. This is the L'Oreal Panorama mascara. I think this is one of the best drugstore mascaras that has launched in a really long time. I feel like it works for a lot of people. I love that it gives truly a very fanned out effect. You can really build it up, which is what I look for in a mascara, and it wears so well. But it's not waterproof. It actually takes quite a bit of time to wash off, but it's not waterproof. You just basically need warm water to sit on it for longer than most mascaras and then it comes off very easily."
"I'm noticing a tiny bit of smudging only because that's where I knew where to look from yesterday, other than that there's zero flaking, so I would say this wear is actually really well. It would depend on your eye shape and how much your lashes actually touch your eyelid and that may determine how much smudging you get, but I got zero flaking. When you wear a normal amount of this mascara I feel like it works really well. I like how buildable it is. I feel like it is a really good mascara. It's definitely not as buildable up front as some of my other favorite mascaras from the drugstore, but that's okay. I like how separated my lashes were able to look with just about 10 coats. I prefer on the more natural side versus trying to build it up. This one is a little more of an everyday mascara, but that's just my personal preference."

"We're going to take the shade Naked from the Urban Decay Naked Palette, which has been a fall staple for me, and I'm just going to apply this all over the lid and up through the crease just to create some soft dimension there. I'm also taking that color and running just a little bit along the lower lash line. This is not like a specific color necessarily that makes this look what it will become; it's more about just creating that soft dimension around the eyes and making it not too bold so the lip can really stand out."
The BEST Makeup & Skincare from August 2024!
"I love the colors, they look so flattering. I love how they're kind of like grungy but very approachable. There's just nothing I don't like about this. I wish there were a little bit more deeper mattes, but at the same time I'm also enjoying the fact that I can kind of experiment and see what it looks like to use shimmer shades to create definition around the eyes. Because there's not as many matte shades in here or deeper matte shades, I feel like it kind of gives me a chance to try something new. Every time I've used this, I love how my eyeshadow looks. I don't know, it feels nostalgic and it just feels special and it feels exciting to me even though it's an old palette. I think it's so great and I've been surprised at how much I've used it."

I usually reach for something a little less intense on the day-to-day but I've really been enjoying this for times where I want that like really secured brow looking feel and I can't believe it's from the drugstore, it's so good."

I Want to Look Like This Everyday: Makeup Tutorial
"I'm going to pop on some mascara today. I wanted to use my Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara. I'm going to make sure to really get the roots of the lashes with this, especially since this eyeshadow look ended up being a little bit more pearly. I like to have a little more definition at the lash line with mascara, and then it kind of helps create the illusion of a bit of a thin eyeliner without actually applying eyeliner."
Trying The New 'Dupes-Only' Makeup Brand... THIS IS INSANE!
"Let's start by applying what I think is the original, which is the Thrive Causemetics. This is a great tubing mascara, one of my favorites if not my favorite. The brush makes all the difference, you could have the same formula with five different brushes and you're going to get a completely different effect on the lashes. There's something I like about how the Thrive Causemetics applies with that more grippy brush, the more silicone molded brush, versus a bristle brush."

10 Beauty Products I'm Using ALL SUMMER LONG 😍
"It's really important to pick a mascara that's going to hold up through the humidity, the heat, the water, whatever, so for me personally that's when I go into my tubing mascaras. My two favorites are the CI Ray one and then also the one from Thrive Causemetics. I love a tubing mascara because you literally just don't have to worry about it smudging or flaking, and then it comes off so easily at the end of the day, or for some reason like you end up going swimming, you have a tubing mascara on, you can just simply remove it and it's not going to create raccoon eyes all around your eyes. I love a good tubing mascara. For me it's essential for summer."

It's just that I don't really use tinted brow gels like this. What it is is I just personally like a little bit more of a precise brow look. Just with my brow shape and size I can't just use a gel, it just doesn't work for me. The reason people like this is because it's supposed to be a one-and-one product, but for me it's just not a done product. I can't complete my brow look with just this. I just need more filling in."

This pencil is working really well. It's taking me a second to kind of get used to this specific shape but I like how you can kind of turn it on its side and get one sort of a pencil size and then you can use it this way and fill in the brows a little bit more easily. I like the color on me too."

"I've tried this before but maybe only once and I think what kind of steered me away was the really large applicator, but I've put that aside because the effect is really nice and I feel like it builds up so beautifully. It's definitely a full full volume mascara so if you don't really like that you might not like this. I do feel like because it's a more beefy brush it's kind of tedious on those lower lashes, so just something to keep in mind. But these two together are a match made in heaven. I love them."
"I've been absolutely loving this Danessa Myricks Groundwork Palette. These rosy tones are perfect for spring. It's what I've got all over the eyes.

"I saw in the Steals category the Sephora Shape and Set Clear Brow Gel. This is twelve dollars, and normally I wouldn't consider Sephora to be like a drugstore option, but the Sephora Collection does have more affordable things, so I wanted to try this because it's a clear brow gel and I'm a fan of clear brow gels. I do feel like the spoolie picked up quite a bit of product, which I don't love when it comes to a brow product, because I feel like it's hard to shape the brow if you've got too much on there. I kind of had to dab off some of that, there was quite a bit that got picked up on the brush. I do like the applicator, besides the amount of product it's a wand which I bet I can work with. This product is setting really nicely."
"One of my all-time favorite palettes is this right here. I'm gonna sound like a broken record because I've talked about this so many times for years on my channel, this is the ColourPop That's Taupe Palette. This is one that I go back to every fall. It's a cool toned taupey palette and you just can't go wrong. This is amazing for every day and for a night out. You have some of those grungy 90s kind of foiled colors in here, and you also get a Super Shock Shadow which is a gorgeous topper if you're into that, plus these mattes make great everyday looks. This is just a really nice one and done, small, very affordable palette that is perfect for fall looks, especially if you're into cool tones. I just love it so much."

This is the shade ash brown, though I'm not even sure if they had that shade back then. I'm going to take the Anastasia number 12 brush, which is their little brow brush, and paint these on. The thing about dip brow brows was there were no natural hair shapes on the end anyway, it was just carved, literally just painted on. I always tried to do little flicks in the center, though.

What I'd Buy for YOU at Sephora RIGHT NOW 😍
"The Tower 28 mascara is one of my favorites and one of the three I think are the best at Sephora. I keep coming back to it. I love both the brown and black colors. You can really pump up the volume, and I love how much curl, lift, separation, volume and length it gives. It kind of does it all. I can build it up for glam looks or do one coat for a daily look and it looks great."
"It does give a very fluffy lash effect. I'm not sure if I would say bouncy, but it is pretty. This definitely gives fluffy lashes. It does not build up like crazy, though, which is actually surprising. I thought with this brush it would be like a really beefy mascara, but it's actually pretty wispy. It's really gentle, natural. You're not getting extreme volume. It's actually giving a very natural effect. I like it though. I really think this effect would suit somebody who wants more of a soft natural lash look. It's not going to give super beefy lashes like at all, but I think that's actually pretty cute. That brush is definitely different than anything I've tried before. Very innovative."
"A brow product that I love this year is the Anastasia Brow Freeze gel. It does not budge. It's definitely heavy duty, but I like that it doesn't get crusty like some heavy duty brow gels do when you build them up. It really packs a punch and it's one of the best that I tried this year."

"The Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze is an oldie but a goodie for some people, but it's actually new for me. I've heard people talk about this forever, this was everyone's favorite for the longest time, and I finally got to try it. I've been loving it, it's so good, it's just the perfect amount of hold without feeling crunchy on the brows. It's fabulous, such a good clear brow gel. I'm happy that I finally tried it after knowing about it for so many years, better late than never."

The Best Beauty Products of 2024 So Far (Here's Why)
"I have nothing bad to say about it, it's so good. I can't live without brow gel. I've literally used the Benefit 24-Hour Brow Setter for years, I just like the thin consistency that it gives. I've dabbled in others, but this one launched and I was like, hold on, this is so good, it's the Anastasia Brow Freeze gel. This kind of checks off all of my boxes. I feel like the formula is not too thin, it's not too thick, it doesn't leave my brows crunchy, but it holds all day. I love the applicator, you can kind of do a more spread out brow hair look with the thicker side of it, or the other side applies a little more product. It's really customizable and the formula is to die for. I love it, I think it's perfection. It feels very similar to the Benefit 24-Hour Brow Setter, but it has almost a little more hold than that one. Both are incredible, I love both, but if you're wanting to try a new one I would recommend checking this one out, it's so nice."

The PERFECT Summer Makeup (Easy for Everyday)
"I personally can't live without a little clear brow gel. I've been loving this one from Anastasia Beverly Hills, the Brow Freeze. It's just a classic, I know it's been around forever and so many people love it, but I didn't try it till this month, so I'm a new fan. This to me screams summer. I love it so much, it's dewy, it's fresh, it looks like enough but not too much. It's just the perfect everyday summer routine in my opinion, a product that I know works really well on me and will last all day."
Trying New Makeup for Summer...
"I'm going to take my Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze, the clear brow gel. I've been using this a lot, it's a really nice brow gel, it's such a famous one. I just had never used it till literally like a week ago."
New Year, New Makeup 🤩 (also, do you like my new camera?!)
"Anastasia Beverly Hills made their Brow Freeze into a gel and I'm thrilled. The packaging is really nice with soft touch packaging. The applicator reminds me a lot of the Benefit 24-Hour Brow Setter applicator, which I love. It's got one shorter side and then a longer side. This is like a brow laminating gel. I like how firm this applicator is because it really allows you to comb through every single hair. A formula like this would be better used before filling in the brows because it's super sculpting and it almost kind of scrapes against the skin, which is good to get that laminated effect. If you've got pencil on like me it kind of scrapes that away underneath, so that's something I would do differently."

"For brow gel, I've been using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze. I've been so in love with this, I can't put it down. It honestly reminds me a lot of the Benefit 24-Hour Brow Setter, but it almost has a little more hold than that, it's a little thicker than that I should say, but it works. It doesn't feel heavy on the brows or anything, but this brow gel is what I've been reaching for every single day."
YOUR Daily Makeup That Nobody Talks About (Anymore)
"I came across a couple of brow gels but I didn't actually have the ones you guys mentioned, so I'm just going to use the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze, which technically I guess could be something that nobody talks about anymore. I'm certainly talking about it right now because it's newer to me, believe it or not, but this used to be all the rage back in the day."

THE BEST MAKEUP OF 2024!!! (Final Episode)
"A brow product that I love this year is the Anastasia Brow Freeze gel. It does not budge. It's definitely heavy duty, but I like that it doesn't get crusty like some heavy duty brow gels do when you build them up. It really packs a punch and it's one of the best that I tried this year."

OH MY.. This New Makeup is INSANE 😱
"I'm going to use the Lisa Eldridge kitten lash mascara. I'm layering it up quite a bit on the top lashes. I just love a lot of mascara even on an everyday basis. I'm also going to apply a little bit on the lower lashes."
I Tried Tons of NEW Makeup and WOW (so so good) 🤩
"Based off my first impressions this is a really really beautiful mascara and I'm very excited about it. I just love Lisa Eldridge. It looks very feminine not too overdone, especially with that liner it didn't overpower my eyes which I'm very excited about. It was very easy to apply. I think that went on very very nicely. One or two coats and then you can really build it up if you want to. I do need a couple of weeks to play with it just because I feel like mascara formulas can kind of dry out a little bit after a while, sometimes they get better as they dry out, and also the wear is going to be really important so I'm going to keep testing this."
MY 3 FAVORITE FALL LIP LOOKS 😍
"I'm going to use the Lisa Eldridge Kitten Lash Mascara. We're going to do a really light layer of mascara. I still want enough to define the lashes but I'm not going to be building it up as much as I normally do. I just think there's something about a soft lash with a bold lip that I personally love, especially for fall."
The BEST Makeup from Last Month.. HANDS DOWN!!
"Lisa Eldridge also launched the Kitten Lash Mascara and of course it's incredible. I'm wearing it today. I love that this is very buildable. I love how fluffy your lashes look with this. It doesn't irritate my eyes, doesn't smudge or flake. I love the curved brush on this. I prefer a curved, molded brush, which is what this is. It's so beautiful. I love it. It's so nice. I have nothing bad to say about it, even down to little details like the mascara lid locking. It's all the things that I love about mascara. 10 out of 10 for this as well."

"I like this one because I'm able to get so close to the lash line. What feels timeless is to just do a very very thin line right up against the lash line just to kind of make your natural lash line look a little bit thicker than it naturally is. I just want the line to feel a little more natural and then that way it will blend into my lashes once I put mascara on."

"That shimmer color is just divine, it's so pretty, and I love that you can go for a super natural everyday look with this palette too. Don't be scared that you'll only be able to wear a smokey eye with this palette, you definitely can create something super soft and everyday appropriate and then you can amp it up with things like this. I'm obsessed. I really enjoyed playing with this palette. I think it's a really nice color story overall. I feel like if it was not sent to me in PR, I probably would have bought this just because it seems to be something that I would enjoy with the cool tones, and now that it's on my eyes, I really do feel like it lived up to my personal expectations. $69 though is pricey, and that's as much as the Natasha Denona palette, so for me this isn't like an everyday staple. This is definitely an addition where the Mario Ethereal Eyes is like absolutely a need and also I need a nude palette from Natasha Denona, those types of palettes I feel like you reach for every day all year. This is like a little bit more of a niche palette in that sense, where maybe you wouldn't need it on a daily basis, but you know I'm just speaking for myself. Maybe there's somebody who loves to wear these tones every single day, and if you do you can definitely create everyday looks with it. Overall, really happy with this palette."
"I've also been really loving the Kylie Cosmetics Skin Tint by itself, and today I mixed it with the Fenty Beauty Skin Tint. Whatever's happening here is working and it looks really nice. If you guys happen to have these in your collection, give that a go because wow, it sure does look really, really nice."
"Nars make some of the best foundations I feel like and this new one is no exception. It's the shade Mont Blanc, which is honestly a little bit deep for me. I feel like I could go for a shade lighter than this, but it's seriously so beautiful. Even though this is technically a matte foundation, it's not like a flat matte though. Like, it doesn't look lifeless. It still has a really beautiful natural finish."

Did the NEW NARS Foundation Just Take First Place?! (Wear Test)
"I really like this because it looks fresh, very skin-like, very healthy. It gave great coverage, it's weightless. I have no notes and it looks really pretty on the skin. There's a little tiny bit of settling in my pores, but with no setting powder, for that to happen is honestly crazy. I've never been able to skip setting powder with any other foundation without feeling super greasy at the end of the day, so this is a win for me. I was super skeptical going in -- I love NARS foundations, but I've never been able to do that before. I'm genuinely thrilled and impressed. I think it's definitely worth a try if you're somebody like me who has a tough time with matte foundations. I can't imagine how long-wearing this would be if I did set it. This could knock out so many different steps in my routine."

"I've been loving this NARS Natural Matte Longwear Foundation. I'm going to buff it all over the skin and press it in with my sponge."
My Unexpected FAVORITES from Last Month!!
"I tried this in my video without any powder and it looked glorious all day long. I have since tried it with powder the way that I normally do in my T-zone and it looks just as good, just with a little more control in the T-zone for me. It's a really innovative, high quality foundation with really nice glass packaging, weighted, with a red pump. If you have more oily skin and you want a natural, not flat, powdery matte foundation, it still looks very much like skin and it's not cakey or heavy. I'm really impressed."

Life Update ❤️ While Trying NEW Makeup
"This shade match is one of the best for my skin. There is nothing better than when you find a phenomenal shade match in a foundation because I just think it makes all the difference in how your makeup looks. I forget how good this Foundation looks. It's so pretty and a little bit goes a really long way."
I waited too long to try these... OH MY 😱
"It looks very natural, which I like. I did about a pump for the entire face, and I really liked how that looks. It looks really, really natural. It really looks like skin. This definitely has a bit less coverage than the first foundation, which is not a problem. I feel like a little less coverage is fine a lot of the times. And you can see how nice and natural the finish is, too. It just looks fresh."
FULL FACE OF MAKEUP BY MARIO...
"You guys know how much I love this foundation. This might be one of my favorite Mario products. I used it religiously for a while and then it kind of fell out of my routine and now I'm back on it fully. It is so good. The way that this looks on camera specifically, I mean in person it's gorgeous too, but every time I wear this on camera, it has this really special something to it. And this shade match is perfection for me. It has a bit of a glow to it, which I really like, and it wears really well on me. So, yeah, this is definitely one of my favorite things from Mario."
What I Bought at Sephora & Trying Everything!!
"I mentioned this in my favorites video as kind of an honorable mention because it's like rolled its way back into my routine and it's so good. It specifically looks really nice on camera. It also looks amazing in person, but for some reason like in pictures and videos, it just does the most. And there's certain situations where you want your foundation to look really good in pictures or videos. And so I've been really enjoying it all over again."

It's such a beautiful foundation. Very lightweight but mattifying and controlling and flawless looking but still natural. It's a fabulous foundation."

"I really like this kind of underneath foundations or by itself underneath concealer. It did kind of calm down the redness, but it looks very skin-like. It definitely is more of a tint like it says in the name. Based off of this application experience, I feel like I would probably use this more as a priming type product."

Easy Everyday Fall Makeup Tutorial 🍂
"This is one of my holy grail foundations. This is the Light Reflecting Foundation from Nars. I feel like this is such a foolproof foundation for me personally, and I love how it wears. It's also one that's not too glowy, not too matte. It's one that works well for everyday, but also you can amp it up for more glam looks. It does feel a little bit more glamorous than like a tinted moisturizer, but it still looks natural enough and has a natural enough finish to be great for everyday. And it wears really well on me. It's genuinely one of my favorites. I love when there's a foundation that kind of does everything, to where if you're going to spend money on a more high-end foundation, it's nice to know that you can use it on an everyday basis or bump up the coverage and it's going to work really well for more glamorous occasions as well. You don't have to have two separate foundations, you can genuinely wear this one every day. At least that's what I like to do."

"This is the NARS Light Reflecting Foundation and it's actually been a while since I've worn this and I wore it over the weekend and I was like oh my gosh I forgot how good this was.

I have so many that I love and there's been so many new launches too that are great as far as foundation goes, but this one is just simply the best. If I could go back in time and do my wedding makeup again, I would use this as my wedding foundation. That's how much I believe in it and trust it. There's some foundations that are strictly for a no makeup makeup everyday basis, and then some on the other hand that are only for glam looks in my opinion, but this kind of lends itself to both situations. I love using this for every day, but it also has the coverage, longevity, and just flawless finish that I look for in a special occasion foundation as well, so it's kind of the best of both worlds for me."
TRYING NEW MAKEUP + Exciting Announcement!! 😍
"My foundation looks amazing, what did I wear? And I remembered it's my Holy Grail, so now I'm back using this more frequently because I just was reminded of how good it is again. I wear the shade Mont Blanc. I was reminded again with this foundation that it looks pretty upon application, but it's how it wears that actually floors me. There are a lot of foundations that look really impressive upon first application, but maybe they don't wear the best. This is almost the opposite, where the longer I wear it, the better my skin looks somehow. It doesn't look bad upon application, but you kind of have to trust the process and know that it will look better."

I Wore This New Foundation for 12 Hours Straight
"Too Faced Born This Way Foundation is what I wore on my wedding day. I love the amount of coverage that it gave but it doesn't feel or look heavy. It doesn't cake up on the skin. It has a really amazing almost watery but also somehow oily texture that allows it to glide across the skin so evenly. The pigment is distributed very evenly within the foundation as well and it just looks flawless."
"The shade works really well for me. The brush is so soft and the perfect size to get into the hard-to-reach areas on the face. It has quite a bit of glow to it, but honestly, it looks really healthy on the skin and it doesn't look heavy and also doesn't look sparkly, which is a good thing."
"To even out Rachel's skin tone, we're using the L'Oreal Skin Tint, which is one of my favorites for everyday. It really just looks like skin. I've personally found this combo, the Maybelline primer paired with the L'Oreal Skin Tint actually play really well together. And you get the longevity from the primer, but then you still are left with a finish because of the Skin Tint that just looks like skin. I feel like in order for it to look less broken down and obvious, sometimes toning down the amount you use all over the face kind of helps. A good way to control coverage is to use your hand. It's always easier to add more than it is to take away."

Answering YOUR Makeup Questions
"From the drugstore I love the L'Oreal Skin Tint. That one actually looks like skin, it's crazy, and every single time I wear that people are like your skin is amazing. They don't say wow how'd you do your makeup, they literally say your skin looks amazing."
"I really like the glow that it's giving, the shade match is fabulous. It does kind of dry down, which is interesting because it feels so watery, but then it almost feels like it sets in a way. I do feel like the finish is very, very skin-like, very luminous. This shade is great, 100 percent a cool tone, it's like a perfect match for me right now. I really like the texture, I like how watery it is. It's serum-based, and overall, especially from a normal distance, this actually looks really pretty."
"This is the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. I feel like one of the world's most favorite foundations and I've heard such good things about it for so many years. It's what people wear on their wedding day, it feels like skin and looks like skin all day long, it never fails them. No matter how much texture your skin has, this foundation lays over top and doesn't emphasize it. It makes skin look smooth and glowy. It's one of the things I always look for in a product: would you wear it on a wedding day, would it look good on a wedding day on somebody else. I know so many people that say it's their Holy Grail Foundation forever and ever."

A Timeless Makeup Tutorial: Never Go Out of Style ❤️
"The Armani Luminous Silk is one of those iconic formulas that I feel like will never go away. These are things that will last a lifetime and beyond, products that will never be discontinued. I actually personally don't get as much use out of the Luminous Silk on its own, but I saw a makeup artist combine it with another foundation and I was like, that's actually brilliant because I love how the Luminous Silk can shear out the coverage when mixed with a more matte formula."

"This really does have incredible longevity for a skin tint. It's so good. It looks perfected but not too much, lasts all day, and is compatible with all the products you've applied underneath or on top. With a little powder next to the nose it stays as shiny as possible but not noticeably oily.

Full Face Using ONLY Maybelline
"This is their new Super Stay 24 hour skin tint, this stuff is insane, it is so good. It's gonna be my favorite video this month. I've been using it non-stop but it is incredible. It doesn't have crazy coverage but it does have a little bit of coverage which is nice and it just preps the skin really beautifully and adds a really nice healthy glow. I really wish they would have done a different packaging for this because I just know it's going to get so messy but it is what it is."
My #1 Makeup RIGHT NOW 😍
"This is a drugstore find that continues to floor me every time I put it on. The way that it wears on me is out of this world. Out of all of the new foundations that I've been trying, this one is so great. It just wears so beautifully on me."
This Makeup INSTANTLY Boosted My Confidence ❤️
"This is something that wears so well. This allows your skin to look like skin but it covers up anything that you want to cover. It's fantastic. You really don't need much with this. A little goes a very long way with this product. This product is so good."
I was losing faith in the drugstore.. UNTIL NOW 😍
"Maybelline Super Stay 24 hour skin tint, this stuff does not mess around. The only thing I wish was different is the packaging but I can get past that because the formula is so good. I love how it gives you great coverage, it feels lightweight, it looks lightweight, but it's also long wearing, which is not always the case with a skin tint. So I think that's something unique about it. Really loving this right now."
The BEST Makeup TODAY.. According to YOU!
"I really love this I think it would be great for people who want a little more longevity in their skin tint but I was so shocked to actually hear how many people are using this in the summer and it's a product that has been with me in my collection for years so I feel like it was so cool to see how many people are obsessed with this especially for summer."
WHAT I BOUGHT AT ULTA & SEPHORA 🙈
"It blends like butter and has the most beautiful glow. It gives me a glow without looking greasy. It looks so smooth and seamless."
The PERFECT Easy Winter Makeup ❄️
"I want something that's going to last a long time but something that's going to give me some skincare benefits, so today I'm opting for the Maybelline Super Stay 24-Hour Skin Tint. This stuff is incredible. I feel like it gives great coverage but it's like the perfect amount of hydration without being overly hydrating and it's also not super mattifying. It's just like a perfect in between. Plus I find that it gives actually really good coverage which I love on an everyday basis even if I want like a lightweight look to the skin look and feel. I still like to have a little bit of coverage, especially since in the winter time I already have redness on the cheeks, but when I get cold I feel like that redness kind of gets amplified. And if my skin's a little more dry it can look more red, so I really like for something to have a little more coverage so that I just feel confident in my skin."
Here's the BEST Drugstore Makeup RIGHT NOW 😍
"This is the Maybelline Super Stay 24-Hour Skin Tint, and it just checks off all of my boxes. I wear the shade 110. What I love about this is it gives such great coverage, it looks very natural, very skin-like, but it has longevity to it, which is so key. I honestly feel like it's one of the best complexion products at the drugstore at the moment. I feel like this would work well for all skin types too. It has longevity, so I feel like it's going to work for oily skin, but it also isn't so drying that it wouldn't work on dry skin. It's just so versatile and I love the finish. It's not super glowy, it has more of a natural finish. This one just overall works for every day and it also works for more glamorous occasions. If you need to build up the coverage and have more longevity, I like the versatility in this formula."
The PERFECT Barbie Makeup Look 💕
"I'm going to take a skin tint, this one is from Maybelline, it's the Super Stay 24 Hour Skin Tint. This stuff is so good. It's a skin tint but it's flawless, gives great coverage but it's lightweight. It gives such good coverage but it looks like your skin."

"This is one of my favorites from the drugstore and my favorites in general. It went viral when it launched. Anna said she's been using it since they first launched it and always comes back to this one because it's so good. She's 40 years old with dry and dehydrated skin, and this foundation does not show any dry patches, does not exaggerate fine lines and wrinkles, and doesn't separate or pill. She wore it to a wedding in humid Hawaii during their rainy season and it didn't melt off her face. It's truly one of the best drugstore foundations out there."
"The Huda Beauty Easy Blur Foundation launched later in the year and I love it. It gives the perfect amount of coverage and wears very well on me.

It's so beautiful."
The PERFECT Summer Makeup (Easy for Everyday)
"I really really wanted to revisit the Rare Beauty Positive Light Tinted Moisturizer. This stuff is so good. I love to use tinted moisturizers in the summertime but not all tinted moisturizers work well on me because I need longevity. Personally, if I'm going to do my makeup it needs to stay on my face, and that's the thing with this tinted moisturizer: it gives really nice coverage but it lasts forever on the skin. I've noticed that for a tinted moisturizer it has insane longevity. It literally looks the same at the end of the day as it does at the beginning of the day. I've worn this on long days, I wore this to the airport once on a long travel day and I got to my hotel and it looked amazing. So that was enough for me to know that this is something that I would revisit every summer. It's one of my favorite tinted moisturizers ever."

"The matte and poreless formula feels matte but not thick and cakey, glides really smoothly. It wears really well, stays kind of velvety throughout the day, and works really nice if you have more oily skin. It's one of the few drugstore foundations that doesn't look thick or cakey if you have oily skin, it still really glides, and it lasts all day long without breaking down and getting weird."
"The first thing I'm noticing is how lightweight this feels. It's really easy to blend as well. That looks really nice, it's got a bit of a glow to it as well. I can see why I've been hearing such good things. I'm actually really surprised at how lightweight it feels. I was kind of picturing a little bit like a thicker texture with this for some reason, almost like picturing a Nars Radiant Creamy or something, but it's much lighter than that. Feels really nice on the skin."

What I Bought at Sephora This Week (Trying Everything)
"I'm wearing my Laura Mercier Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Foundation. This was one of my favorite things from last year. It really is such a beautiful foundation. I feel like it's getting the attention it deserves. It's such a unique texture. It really is such a nice foundation. I feel like that went on top of the skin prep product so nicely and everything looks very healthy. That's kind of what's nice about some of these makeup brands creating skincare is usually they're formulated to work very well underneath makeup, which is so key."
Please STOP Being Afraid of Powder.. Here's Why

"I never talk about brushes but this is one that I cannot put down it's so good. This Hourglass Foundation Brush, you guys, I'm using it every single day. There's something about the shape of it that I absolutely love. There's something about it for foundation and concealer that I cannot get enough of."
The ONLY Makeup I Need Right Now...
"I'm going to pick that up with my Hourglass foundation brush and then I'm going to start to blend this out all over the face. I just love the coverage that this gives but it's so thin and really light weight but also like long lasting which I love so it just kind of checks off all the boxes for me."
"We've got foundations galore that won awards. The Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint is a beautiful sheer coverage foundation, pricey but really nice. My shade matching was not too shabby, and I always get nervous when I buy foundations online because sometimes it's just a complete guess on what my shade is going to be. I pressed it into the skin with my sponge and it looks really nice. I'm not sure what the finish is supposed to be on this because I'm looking so dewy. It's supposed to be a longwear foundation though, says twenty four hour wear, I don't know about that. But here's the before and here's the after, really nice coverage actually, and really pretty packaging too."
"It feels very very lightweight. It does have a classic Dior scent to it, which I wish some of these high-end brands didn't make such perfumey foundations, but here we are. It gave really nice coverage but it actually feels really lightweight. A lot of times when I think of matte foundations, at least from the past, I think about heavier foundations, but this is a very lightweight kind of a matte foundation. Upon application that looks so pretty."
"I think it's a really, really good foundation. If you want something that's more durable but still looks like skin, you're going to really like this. Definitely go swatch the shades in stores if you can, just because the undertones seem to run a little bit more warm than what it is labeled. Other than that, I think it's a really beautiful foundation. So it's another winner from me from the drugstore, especially if you're looking for something long wear that looks like skin. It's not super matte in my opinion, it has more like a natural skin-like finish."
"I do like to use the Haus Labs foundation, but for being a mom, I don't have time and a little bit of concealer and I feel like it actually looks like I have foundation, but I don't. I have concealer and it's perfect."

It's a little bit more on the warm tone side than what I typically go for, but it still works. It blends into my skin nicely. It does have a little bit of a glow to it. I really, really do like the amount of coverage that this gives. The finish of it is very, very natural and very skin-like, which I appreciate.

"I'm going to go into my Westman Atelier Contour Stick. This is that new shade that I can't seem to shut up about. It's called Olay, and it is perfect shade for me. I can literally just draw on my skin and it always looks nice."
NEW Rare Beauty Eye Collection... Better This Time?!
"I've been loving this new shade of the Westman Atelier Contour Stick. I have never really been able to color on my face with a Contour Stick because it's always way too much for me until now. I feel like I can literally just draw on my face and it looks good, which is crazy for me. It just normally requires so much more control when it comes to a Contour Stick. So I appreciate that about this shade mostly. I already knew the formula was great, but the shade is so much better for my skin tone than Biscuit. Biscuit still works and it's a little more cool toned actually. So if you want more like structure, it's still great. But if you want to like draw on the face and you have a skin tone similar to mine and it's hard for you to find contour sticks that don't look too dark, you should definitely try this. It's a pricey product. I hate how expensive it is, but like it is such a foolproof formula."
What I'd Genuinely Buy YOU at Sephora Right Now
"The thing that I'm loving loving loving the most as far as bronzers go is this Westman Atelier Contour Stick. You guys know I've loved this formula for years, but they recently released a brand new shade called Olay and I haven't shut up about it. If you have fair skin and you struggle to find a contour product that doesn't turn you orange, look no further. It's fabulous. It's pricey, but definitely worth picking it up during the sale."
If I Took You to Sephora, Here's What I'd Buy You! 😍
"This is what I use to sculpt the face and it's so beautiful. There's quite a bit of product in here, and there's just something about the formula that I love. It's pricey, it's like stupidly pricey actually, but the formula I cannot deny it is so good, it's so beautiful. This blends itself out, the color is phenomenal as well. The shade I use is biscuit. If I just went off of formula not price, I would say go with the Westman Atelier. This one's amazing."
What I'd Buy for YOU at Sephora RIGHT NOW 😍
"The Westman Atelier Contour Stick in the shade Biscuit is worth trying. Westman Atelier is very pricey, but this is honestly worth every penny. I'm wearing it all over the face to sculpt and I can't get enough. Their formula is so beautiful, it basically blends itself out, and it has the perfect tone and undertone. Biscuit is the shade that works best for me."
I LOVE My Current 5-Minute Mommy Makeup!!
"If I'm super short on time, I love using my Westman Atelier Contour Stick in the shade Olay because this one is a shade that just you can't mess up. It's a creamy moussey formula, very cool, and it blends itself out."
"Let's go in with a good old Rhode Pocket Blush. I've been so in love with the shade, Tan Line. I just barely purchased this during the Sephora sale and it's so good for summertime. It is a bit warmer than what I typically go for personally, but for summertime I think it works so well."

All 5 takes on Pocket Blush
What I'd Genuinely Buy YOU at Sephora Right Now
"I love their pocket blushes, specifically in the shade Piggy, which is also kind of like a cool-toned pink, great for fair skin as well. And then Sleepy Girl, which I love actually layering together with Piggy. Sleepy Girl is a nice mauve shade. I love how dewy the Rhode blushes are. They just look so nice. They're so beautiful and they're already pretty well priced, especially for the quality, but on sale even better. Kind of a no-brainer."
FINALLY TRYING THIS NEW MAKEUP...
"The blushes seriously are so stunning like they're so smoothing and I love the soft glow that it gives the skin it just makes my skin look healthy there's no glitter in it it's the finish of the blush that's doing that. Really excited about the blushes, right now I feel like it lives up to the hype."
Why did I ever stop using this? 🤯 (January Favorites)
"This month I cannot get enough of the Rhode Pocket Blush in the shade Piggy. This is the most perfect cool tone shade, especially for winter, especially for fair skin. It is divine. The finish of this is also really nice. It's going to make your skin look nice and healthy and glowy and hydrated. I love using this as part of my lip combo as well. I'll just tap a bit in the center of the lips for just the most phenomenal kind of monochromatic look. I love matching my cheeks to my lips and so I love finding a product that I can use literally the same color on my cheeks and my lips and this is just 10 out of 10 for me. Plus the packaging is really really cute. If you are like me and you like to wear powder but you don't want to look dusty, this is a great blush to add."
THE BEST MAKEUP OF 2024!!! (Final Episode)
"I have to shout out the Rhode Pocket Blushes from this year, two shades specifically that I wore like crazy. Sleepy Girl is a beautiful mauve, and I layer Piggy on the apples of the cheeks. Piggy nods to a bubblegum pink but is more muted and very wearable, so I love layering the two. The formula is fabulous on these."
I Bought & Tested the Rhode Summer Launch...
"Let's go in with a good old Rhode Pocket Blush. I've been so in love with the shade, Tan Line. I just barely purchased this during the Sephora sale and it's so good for summertime. It is a bit warmer than what I typically go for personally, but for summertime I think it works so well."
"I had the Makeup by Mario one. Yeah. And I hit pan eventually ran out of it. That's a good one. It's actually the stick ones. It's not the pink one. This is going to be a little more pigmented than the one that you were discussing. I love to warm things up on my hand. I feel like it makes all the difference and it helps you control how much you're using."

Why Your Everyday Makeup Looks “Off”
"This is a great one from Makeup by Mario. Choose something that's going to be just a hint deeper, just a hint warmer than your natural skin tone. Taking it on a fluffy brush versus something super precise helps contribute to this more casual look. It adds a very chic, effortless tone to the face without it being like, oh, bronzing, contouring. It's just kind of adding color back into the face in a really natural way."
"These are both from Saie, they're the liquid blushes. This is berry, which is so pretty, it's like a raspberry. And then January, which is like a baby pink. I feel like combined they could be perfect, so I'm going to mix the two for like a raspberry baby pink. I do that all the time. I'm going in gently, taking it kind of under the eyes a bit, across the nose a bit. And then I add just a little bit of the berry pink into the lip, and take some of what's left on the brush and go into the eye look with that as well."
"I love this one from Rare Beauty for my cream blushes. I just tap it onto the skin. The finish of this is also really nice. It's going to make your skin look nice and healthy and glowy and hydrated. It's so nice."

I LOVE how this look turned out!! 😍 Keep using what you have!!
"I'm taking this on the Rare Beauty blush brush, which there was a comment when I used this combo last that was talking about how I'm using like a road blush with a Rare Beauty brush. I really love this blush color though. It's a really nice kind of baby pink. Plus, it gives the skin like a really good glow. I like applying the cream blush after powder cuz it kind of adds that freshness in while also locking in the concealer and like the tinted moisturizer underneath."
"This blush is famous for a reason. It's got that golden glow underneath the pink and it's so healthy looking. It's really beautiful. Some things are classics for a reason, and some things stand the test of time for a reason. This included."

"I feel like this is such a classic and one of those things that most everybody has either tried or still has in their collection. For me personally, this hasn't been in my active routine for a hot minute. I just feel like there are better bronzers in my opinion. Maybe it's the tone and undertone of the bronzer that makes me use other things. I do want to mix in a little bit of the Hoola Light just to make it so that the tone is a little bit more suitable for me."

"You guys already know how much I love this. There's something about the formula and the color for me personally that I think is just the most flattering, foolproof best drugstore bronzer. This bronzer is so smooth and so buttery, but I think what I really love about this is actually how it's not super pigmented. I'm really heavy-handed when it comes to bronzers, and I think that's why this is so foolproof for me, I can just really buff this on the skin with my brush and it never looks overdone or unnatural. It is so beautiful. I feel like it's honestly kind of underrated at the drugstore. I always hear about other powder bronzers, but this one takes the cake for me personally."

"I'm taking my Milani Silky Matte Bronzer just to balance out the forehead a little and I'm taking that along the jawline and down the neck too."
The Ultimate 2024 Drugstore Makeup Starter Kit!
"This is my favorite powder bronzer at the drugstore, it's the Milani Silky Matte Bronzer. I use the shade 01 and I love it so much. I always recommend a powder bronzer over a cream especially for beginners because it's just way more user friendly."
"For a powder bronzer I love the RMS ReDimension Hydra bronzers from this year. They have a bit of a sheen but they're not sparkly, so don't let that scare you. They're very hydrating, blend out like a dream, and look so natural and fresh on the skin. It gives a little glow so it doesn't look too drying, which is nice for a powder."
"The best powder highlighter went to the Rare Beauty Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter. These are really nice and a little goes a long way. I actually prefer using these as inner corner highlights, which I did today. The shade Enlighten is their lightest, a little too light for my face, but I like it in the inner corner."
"The color has such a red undertone, but one thing I am loving is how well this is blending into the skin. It truly looks so seamless all over the cheeks and along the forehead. It seems like it has a little bit of a healthy glow to it, nothing crazy, just a little bit. The color is like a little bit too red for my personal taste, but I don't think it looks bad. For me it just might be like I need to go find a shade that has a little bit more of a neutral undertone just for my personal taste versus this. But I do think this is a really nice formula. I can see why everyone's really loving it. It blends really nicely."
"I have the L'Oreal Infallible Freshwear Bronzer. This formula is so soft and buttery, it really is. It's such a finely milled powder. It feels so smooth on your fingers, almost like creamy, very silky. It blends extremely well. If you take a brush and apply it, it just blends really well, it's so flawless, so easy to work with. It's not too pigmented, it's like just the right amount of pigmentation, but the texture especially feels like a high-end powder because of how soft and smooth it is. It's gorgeous. And it has a good shade range as well. They have a color that's even lighter than this, which for me I'm a heavy-handed bronzer gal, and the lighter shade is really great for just layering up on myself. I love it a lot."
"The elf bronzing drops launched in three shades for $12. I'm using the lightest shade called rose gold. It's a really nice color, but it's just not something that I personally use often as a daily part of my routine. I think it's kind of meant to be mixed into things, but I'm just going to use it as a little bronzing tint. A little goes a long way."
"The Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks blush stick in the shade Petal is the most beautiful mauve pink, and you can wear it on your lips or cheeks. It's the blush I mostly have on my cheeks today. It's a gorgeous formula, very pigmented and very easy to work with, just like the contour stick, and it just looks so good. I love this color."
"I personally really love this Contour wand. I feel like when it launched it was so innovative and it seems like everybody's copying it. I feel like it just adds that extra structure to the face."
"The Hourglass blushes won an award, these are so good. Every time I do a video asking you guys what blush you love, I feel like this is always in the lineup."
"I can't decide, so I'm going to wear both. I'm going to take a little bit of the Danessa Myricks Cream Blush, this is in the shade Rose and Brunch, and pop that on the backs of the cheeks first. A little goes a long way with these, but it's such a beautiful formula."
"The bronzer stick in the shade Bright Side is one of my favorite shades just because it's a little bit more cool toned. I warm that up on the back of my hand and then pick that up on a fluffier but still defined brush and start to warm and sculpt the face with this. I focus it to keep quite a bit of the shape and warmth to the outside of the face, making sure to drag it into the hairline on the forehead. I also use this to shape the nose a little, connecting it to the eye shadow and dragging it down."
"For cream bronzer, somebody said the e.l.f. Putty Bronzer specifically, and I literally would choose it over any other bronzer I own. The way it just seamlessly blended out onto the skin, I love how that looks. I was so excited to see somebody mention this because it gave me an excuse to use it again."
"I'm going to take my handy dandy City Bronzer from Maybelline, oldie but a goodie. This stuff is good and I'm just going to use this to warm up the face. I'm also going to take a little bit of that and use it to sculpt out the eyes just a little bit."
"The Milani Luminoso, every time I see it on someone else you know how that happens sometimes where you use it on yourself you're like cute cute and then you see it on somebody else and you're like wait yes why have I been sleeping on that."
"I have this Too Faced one that's kind of like a Barbie pink. I actually love those two mixed together, it's really pretty pink blush through the brow bone area."
"Instead of applying it directly to the face, we're going to take it on our hands first. Just take any cream blush. This honestly can be done with any color. I'm going to take the Rare Beauty blush brush and really diffuse this on the back of my hand. I'm doing this before powder because I feel like powder will mute the color a little bit and I want that."

Testing Rare Beauty's NEW Blush...
"Happy is one of my most most used shades of the liquid blush, it's just a great go-to pink color. This one has a much stronger pink base than some of those lighter pinks. If I do the right amount it looks really pretty, but if I start to apply any more than that it starts to look very texture emphasizing."

Makeup YOU Said You'll NEVER Buy Again..
"Somebody said the Rare Beauty liquid blushes I find them very hard to work with always patchy. These are so pigmented so again another one that could potentially not be very user friendly if you're not like willing to work with it or maybe you don't have the right tools or maybe it's just you know not fitting into your typical routine. Like maybe you're somebody who prefers to apply blush a certain way and this formula just doesn't do it for you. I can see how it could be you know intimidating for people and also just like not what you're looking for sometimes."

"The contour product that I've been basically exclusively using for the past couple of months is this one from Rare Beauty. This is their liquid contour. I have the lightest shade, called Gentle, and it's just great. This one is more cool toned than their others, but once it's applied for me, it actually applies pretty neutral. So I feel like it works as kind of like a sculpting bronzer. Some of the other shades I've heard people say lean much more bronzery, so just keep that in mind. It might not be a contour product for everyone, but I just take a little bit of that on the back of my hand and apply my contour higher than I used to. Once you blend it in, you can see it still sculpts, but it lifts. I've been doing that with this. I do my contour prior to my concealer, especially for everyday. I just feel like it's easier. It allows me to be a little bit messy with the contour and then I can clean up everything after I apply it."

My Honest Review of All The New Makeup...
"What I loved about this is how natural it looks, it's a really really natural contour. So if you're scared of a more cool-toned contour product, don't be with this one. This is very user-friendly, very everyday appropriate. For me this shade worked great on my fair skin. I really loved how it was able to shape and it still warmed up my complexion without me feeling overdone. So for me this is very much an everyday type of contour. If I was doing a full full glam I think I would reach for something with a little more pigment just to really get that kind of look and structure, but for every day I think this is a real winner."
"I'm going to give it a yellow because I think it's really fun, it's cute, it's fun to try if you're interested in it, but it's definitely going to give a very specific look so you kind of have to ask yourself like is this my vibe, do I like no makeup makeup looks, do I want the cheeks stain kind of an effect. If that's not your vibe, you're obviously not going to really enjoy this, but if it is, it's definitely a very high quality lip and cheek stain that I think you're going to have a lot of fun with. It's going to be easy to apply, so if you do choose to buy it and this is your vibe, I think you won't be disappointed. I came in as a little bit of a skeptic and I left as a fan of this formula and actually a fan of this color specifically."
"I also tried Maybelline's lifter gel lip oil in the shade Strawberry Shake. I do really like this formula, the gel gloss formula, it feels really luxe, just don't over apply it. It doesn't feel gloopy or heavy on the lips. I feel like the lip oil gel was really comfortable, that was one of my favorite things."

NEW Rare Beauty Eye Collection... Better This Time?!
"I found this in my stash. This is Lisa Eldridge Sculpt and Shade Lip Pencil in the shade 0N. And I thought maybe it would kind of compliment the eyes."
I NEEDED This Makeup Day 🤩
"I want a bit of structure, so I'm going to take my Lisa Eldridge Sculpt and Shade Lip Pencil in the shade 0N, which is a bit deeper, more brown, more neutral. It's gonna add a bit of structure without looking too overdone, which is exactly what I want."
"My lips are so dry. I held off hydrating them because I knew I wanted to try this today. I got the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment in the sugar mint, and usually I don't like minty things. This is so cute and chunky. I guess this is their lip mask. It's nice and thick, really thick. The mint is kind of sweet. That felt really nice."

My #1 Products from July 2023 😍
"I love their Peptide Lip Treatment. It's like my overnight lip mask. It makes my lips feel so hydrated, and I swear to you it somehow plumps and smooths my lips as well. It has ceramides in it as well. I wear it morning and night and it works really well with my other skincare products. It also makes my makeup lay down really well too. I'm just really obsessed with this. When they first were teasing this on Instagram I thought I had tried something similar, and then I bought it and tried it out, and it's like no, this is not like anything that I've ever tried. So it's incredible."
The PERFECT Easy Winter Makeup ❄️
"I'm going to use this Peptide Lip Treatment from Rhode. It's always good to prep your skin before you do your makeup and this goes for any time of year but especially in the winter like a nice extra prep is key I feel for winter time I want like something that's again going to last a long time but something that's going to give me some skincare benefits."
THE BEST HAIR, SKIN & BODY PRODUCTS OF 2023
"For lip products I love the Ole Henriksen Peptide Lip Treatment as well as the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment. I've gone back and forth between these two, really love both of those, they hydrate the lips really nicely."
"Lancôme launched their Juicy Tubes in the year 2000, which they recently brought back. These were discontinued and then re-released, but it's very close to the original formula apparently. How fun is this? I feel like some things might have been discontinued in the past because technology has just gotten so much better, but then there's some classics that are classics for a reason."
"I might be the most excited about this. Something about a classic bullet lipstick I love. And look how pretty etched inside is his little logo right here. This is shade 88, it's a beautiful nude, almost like a concealer nude. I'm just going to press that into the lips. Ooh, that is pretty. That is such a pretty color. Feel like you could pair this with so many different lip liners just to kind of brighten things up."
"The shade deep taupe is by far my absolute favorite. It just goes with everything. I absolutely love it."

If I Took You to Sephora, Here's What I'd Buy You! 😍
"The Deep Taupe lip liner from Anastasia Beverly Hills is like the most delicious cool-toned brown. It just contours the lips so beautifully. If you're into that more sculpted, structured lip on the edge, if you want it to look a little more pouty, and if you overdraw your lips at all, this is the perfect color for that. It's beautiful for fall but also all year round."
The BEST Makeup TODAY.. According to YOU!
"So here's the Deep Taupe lip liner and I like to really blend it in with my fingers. I'm obsessed with it."
Full Face of NOTHING NEW: GRWM!! 😘
"Let's try the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner in Deep Taupe, one of my all-time favorite lip liner colors. This has a little more warmth but it's actually pretty neutral. I feel like it still sculpts the lips really beautifully, but I like that it leans a little more brown to compliment the eyeliner."

"I've been slowly working my way through the new Rare Beauty lip glosses and this one has like blue reflex in it. It's the shade Dazzle and could be cool on top."
"Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Fair is a classic bullet lipstick, more of a satin lipstick. It runs on the cool tone side, which is why I love to pair it with Almond and Fig, and it just kind of brightens things a little bit. If you're wanting a little more of a classic lipstick combo, I've been wearing Pillow Talk Fair quite a bit."
"The Maybelline Lifter Lip Liners are by far my favorite lip liners at the drugstore. These are so beautiful. The shade range is incredible. My personal favorites are On It and Big Lift, which are number seven. Big Lift has that beautiful kind of mauvey undertone, and then On It is also so pretty. I really really love both these colors so much, but you really can't go wrong with any of them. They come in I think 10 shades. They're so good though, I really love them."
"It's the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. I'm sure at this point you've probably all tried this, it is viral for a reason. I feel like every time I watch one of those videos where a celebrity is showing you what's in their purse, this is always in everyone's bag. It's a really great product."

"The best plumping lip gloss goes to the Dior Addict Lip Maximizer. I love love this stuff. Opal is one of my favorite shades and I swear by it; it doesn't look as pretty in the bottle but focused in the center of the lips this color changed my life."
"The Clinique Almost Lipstick in the shade Black Honey, which you guys know has been viral, you know it went viral again over the past couple of years.

"I love the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balms, these are so beautiful. I personally use the vanilla one the most, and I throw it on the most when I do my skincare in the morning or evening. They did recently send me the Mint one, which is actually more pleasant than I was expecting. I usually don't like mint stuff on my lips because I feel like it dries out my lips, but they did a really good job with the Mint one at keeping it fresh and not overpowering. The Mint one is actually really good after I've brushed my teeth, it's just nice to have even extra more minty freshness on the lips. But you can't go wrong with any of them."

I prep my lips with this if I'm wanting like a little more of a juicy pout, and it just kind of preps the lips in a way where it'll hydrate but it also makes your lips two times as big, which is insane.

"This is probably the best lip plumper I've ever tried. What I really love is you do get an insane amount of plumpness. It lasts for a while, and the thing I like about it is it's not as painful as some of the other ones that I've tried before. I just feel like it works. There's a lot of hype around this and I do feel like it lives up to the hype personally. It's nice to have one that's really effective whenever I want that look of a more full plump lip situation."
"So many lip products won this year, you guys. The Clarins Lip Oil, I love this. I actually got this last year because I think it won an award last year as well, which is kind of interesting."
"This is the gloss in the shade Dancing Rose. It's kind of like a gold and pink duochrome gloss which I think is going to match the eyes perfectly. The formula will be a little bit more sheer and a little more matte, it's not a super matte formula, but I like that. I saw this and I thought this is Barbie, plus it's Lisa Eldridge, and since her products were actually used in the movie I thought it would be perfect."
"This is NYX Nude Beige, love love. I couldn't not. It's so good. I'm shocked every time we put this on. I love it, I love this color. And I love these things because you can cover the lip liner but you still get the lip liner coming through a little bit."
"The lip liner stains I might be the most excited about, just because I feel like it added that light pink, added the perfect softness while still defining, not looking too lip stainy, which you know I don't always want. So I really am excited about that."

"I'm going to set the face with the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray. I'm not shy with this stuff. I let that dry about halfway and then I like to take my sponge and just press the setting spray into the skin. One of my favorite little beauty secrets is taking a bit of powder after setting spray just to lock in the areas that you really don't want shine. It just never looks powdery when you go back in with powder after setting spray. I think because while the skin is still damp it kind of grips onto the powder and melts it into the skin."

This still sets really well, but it's very, very lightweight and it feels so skin-like. I especially adore this powder underneath the eyes.

This one is so light but it still sets really really nicely and mattifies really beautifully."

"I was going through my drugstore drawers and I found my Pixi H2O Skin Veil Powder. This is such an amazing drugstore lightweight powder. This is one that is virtually undetectable on the skin. It is going to leave you a little bit more glowy than say the Huda Beauty powder that I love so much, but for this kind of a look I think it's going to be perfect. I buff it underneath the eyes, in the T-zone, on the eyelid, and almost buff and scribble it into the complexion. You don't need to be too precious with this. It sets the face but also still keeps it hydrated, which I think is key to looking healthy in a pinch and to making it not look powdery or like you're wearing too much makeup. This powder is so good, I love it."

If you want like a little bit of coverage and an ethereal glow, look no further. This is a pricey product, but it's one of my all-time favorite things ever."

My vibe for like anniversary makeup this year is not really to do like more, especially since you guys know I just had my second baby in September. So my vibe is not to do anything like over the top. I just want to look fresh. I want to feel and look like myself."

My Favorite Beauty Products from July 2025 😍
"This is the Iconic London Underglow Blurring Primer. The thing that's really cool about this is it's a little bit of a combination between a blurring and a glowing primer. So it has that hint of glow, but also like when it sets down, it's very smoothing. And it's not a sparkly glow either. You can see it leaves your skin nice and dewy, but then once it sets, it also leaves a smoothness and almost like a soft focus effect underneath your makeup. I've just really been liking it. It's been pairing well with all my different foundations that I've been layering on top. And so I'm starting to understand why everyone has been loving this for so many years."
IT'S TIME! THE BEST MAKEUP OF 2025 🥳
"This is also a great hybrid. Something that gives you glow while still giving you like an airbrushed blurring effect as well. Works great under makeup and is so perfect for when you want that added boost of just a healthy glow to the skin, but you don't want to compromise the longevity of your makeup. It's so so good."
"I love how dewy the complexion is, but you know me and my powder. Can't live without it. My Huda Beauty one in the shade Cupcake. I'm just going to press this underneath the eyes. I also love how this has a slight pink undertone to it, which just kind of goes with the vibe of the makeup. I always like to put some powder through my brows. I find that that helps my brow pencil grip onto the skin a little bit better and last longer."

The PERFECT Spring Makeup 🌸
"I'm going to use my Huda Beauty powder. This time, I'm going to use the shade Sugar Cookie, which is the lightest color, and we're going to use this to kind of brighten up and set the under eyes. I personally still love a good setting powder for everyday, especially if you're going outside. It just helps with a bit of longevity. If it's warmer, too, your skin will naturally kind of warm up and melt some of the powder. So, don't be afraid of powder, especially when you're getting ready because it will melt if it's the right formula and if you use the right amount anyway."
I Tried YOUR Holiday Wishlist! 🎁
"This is the Huda Beauty Easy Bake loose setting powder, it's so good. It gives a flawless finish to any makeup look and I couldn't agree more, it's just perfection. The shade biscuit is so perfect for me. It does come in additional shades but this one is like not too cool, not too warm, it's just incredible. This is something that I would gift to somebody, it's so beautiful."
The Makeup I’ll ALWAYS Repurchase (All On Sale!!)
"My Huda Beauty powder, my holy grail. I'm just going to take that Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Setting Powder in the shade Cupcake and dust that all over the face, focusing in the T-zone."
Here's the Makeup I Packed to Disneyland 🤩
"I set the face with powder. I brought my Huda Beauty powder of course in the shade cupcake and I actually have been applying it with this Contour brush from Real Techniques which is kind of not how I've ever used this brush but I've been really enjoying it for powder. I take a little bit of this in the cap and I did bring this puff but a lot of the times when I was just hurrying to get ready I would just go straight in with this brush after concealer because I can use it underneath the eyes and like on the eyelids and I can quickly set the rest of the face too. I just press this in the T-Zone or the areas that I get the most oily throughout the day and then I took a little bit and used a light press to buff in a bit of powder on the sides of the face just so that everything stayed put all day long and it really did stay put all day. I feel like my makeup looked good the entire time and there was some hot days it got up to like 80° Fahrenheit which was crazy especially for a December Disney trip but my makeup honestly stayed put throughout."
This Became My New Favorite Makeup Look 🤍
"I'm going to take a little bit of my Huda Beauty powder and I'm going to take that on the Nikki La Rose N20 small brush. I love this brush. It's new to me, but it's so good because I feel like it allows you to not overdo the powder whatsoever. So, I'm just going to kind of buff this under the eyes and kind of swirl it so that we can get like a really seamless, very precise powder."
Makeup Inspired by My Korean Color Analysis
"I'm going to set the face with my Huda Beauty powder in the shade cupcake. I love that this has a little bit of a pink undertone to it so I felt like it matched the vibes today and again this is a product that you guys know I already use and love."
My No-Overwhelm Guide to the Sephora Sale (What’s Actually Worth It) ✨
"When it comes to an everyday powder, I'm going to continue to recommend the Huda Beauty powder. I wear a lot of shades, but the one I use the most is Cupcake. It does have a little bit of a pinky tint to it, so it's not going to brighten as much if you have fair skin as Sugar Cookie, which is lighter and brightens a little more than Cupcake. I like this one for everyday because it doesn't brighten too much to where I have too stark of a contrast on an everyday basis. It just almost matches my skin tone, which I really like because I can just slap it all over my face and it really blends into the skin. This is one of my favorite powders. It's like my favorite powder, especially paired with a Tarte concealer under the eyes. It's chef's kiss, a match made in heaven."
The Perfect Holiday Makeup Tutorial
"I'm going to go into my Huda Beauty powder and I'm going to use the shade sugar cookie today which is the lightest shade. I want a little bit more of a glamorous element so I'm feeling like using this lighter shade. I typically will use the shade cupcake on the daily basis which is a little bit more of a pink tone but I want to have that slightly more glamorous airbrushed finish. I'm taking this on a puff and I'm just pressing that underneath the eyes and through the T-Zone just to make sure there's no settling of the product. This is where I always get oily throughout the day so I like to press my powder through the T-Zone. Then I'm going to take a light little dusting of that same powder and set the sides of the face."
Life Update ❤️ While Trying NEW Makeup
"Everyone raves about this powder and I've just been so committed to my Huda Beauty powder I haven't really steered from that, but I've been using it more and more and I'm liking it more and more the more I use it. My problem was that I was using way too much before. With this one, less is more, although it is a very undetectable powder on the face when you do use less. I've noticed that the shade I love more than the rose one that's really popular is number two Satin Blanc. It's got some peach and yellow and a little lavender in there mixed together. It's just a great color in general for my skin tone."
Best Blush EVER?! 🤯 Trying ALL the Shades!
"I set the under eyes and the face with my Huda Beauty powder and the cream blush on top of the powder looks so insanely good. Oh it's divine. If you've never tried this formula I highly recommend you do. They're not the cheapest, okay, so the fact that I have this many is actually a little bit insane but it shows you how much I love these."
Trying New Makeup for Summer...
"I like the finish that this has. It has more of a natural finish so it's not super dewy, it's not super matte, just kind of blends in and has a very skin-like finish to it, which I like. The smell is more strong in the powder than the cream, like as I'm picking it up it's definitely noticeable fragrance, but this is blending out really beautifully. I'm really liking how it's looking so far."
Overcoming Your Fear of Makeup: Part 2
"My personal pick is the Huda Beauty powder. The reason why I love powder is first of all longevity, powder products always last way longer. If you're really worried about how your makeup's wearing off, ask yourself if you're using powder products or a setting powder at all. I feel like it really makes a massive difference. The amount that you use makes a difference, the way that you apply it makes a difference. You have to just kind of practice with personally figuring out the exact amount of product, the right tools to use it with. Maybe you have more mature skin and you're realizing that okay, less is more, especially around the eye area. You don't have to cut out powder; it just means you have to find the right formula and use a less amount, but you can still get the benefits of powder and you can adjust depending on what your skin needs."
My #1 EVERYDAY Makeup RIGHT NOW 😍
"I've been rotating a little more between this one and my Huda Beauty. I feel like I've told you guys every time I use this, I already owned it and honestly I love my Huda one so much that I just didn't really use it as much as everyone else but I've been trying to use it a little bit more actually."
Makeup (And More) I'm Thankful For.. 🫶
"I'm so thankful for my Huda Beauty powder. Can't get enough of this. Just going to lightly tap that on the outsides of the face because I do want to apply a little bit of bronzer."
Allie Glines' Current Beauty Routine | Vogue
"It wouldn't be an Allie Glides tutorial without the Huda Beauty Easy Bake powder. I'm going to use the shade sugar cookie. This stuff is just unmatched. I love to use my little beauty blender puff for this and I literally just take the powder on the puff and go directly underneath the eyes just start to set. I also go through the T-zone with the puff and then with a fluffy brush I like to lightly set the cream on the outside of the face."
Make Your Makeup Look Better Than Ever
"I've been using this Huda Beauty powder for a while now, it's my holy grail and my tried and true. I'm using the shade cupcake today. What I love about this powder formula is that it doesn't feel drying on me in general. It mattifies visibly, but my skin doesn't feel dry. Having that extra hydration underneath, I've noticed just helps my makeup feel more balanced throughout the day. Even if you're wearing powder, it still hydrates the skin so that your makeup just looks better and better throughout the day versus breaking down and getting greasy."
Trying NEW Makeup That GOT ME 😍
"I used this the other day and I've been using it like every day since it is so beautiful for a little bit more of an airbrush look. You guys know how much I love my Huda Beauty powder, still do, still use that like crazy, but this one is like a little bit more, but in the best way. It really smooths the skin so you definitely can see it as far as coverage goes but it still looks just as airbrush, just as smooth. I've been really liking it. This is in the shade vanilla and it looks especially incredible underneath the eyes. A little goes a long way with this, like you really don't need that much."
The BEST Makeup & Skincare from August 2024!
"Especially with my Huda Beauty powder the combo is unbeatable. I love it so much. There's something about this texture that just covers so beautifully. It's like thin but it gives the perfect amount of coverage to where you feel like it still makes a difference. It's not too thin and it just wears so well, especially around the eyes. This 10 out of 10, especially paired with the e.l.f. Foundation, this combo set with the Huda Beauty powder, it's all I'm wearing."

It's been around for a while. I absolutely love this powder. It's foolproof. It's my go-to for everyday.

"My holy grail setting powder is the Huda Beauty one, in the shade Cupcake, and I love it so much. It's phenomenal for longevity and gives that airbrushed look on camera and in person.

"The Huda Beauty powder is the only powder I recommend. It's still my favorite and I think it's the best, especially paired with the Beautyblender puff. If you're looking for airbrushed yet natural, long lasting makeup, these are the key players. I use the shades Sugar Cookie and Cupcake, and Cupcake is really beautiful if you're a similar skin tone to me."
THE BEST HIGH END MAKEUP OF 2023
"For powder this is a formula that I love and will love for the rest of my life probably, the Huda Beauty Easy Bake Powder, but I wanted to throw in the shade that I tried this year which was Cherry Blossom Cake. It's like a light pink so it's really nice for the under eyes if you want to kind of brighten that area and just create that little tint and hint of pink. Even though this formula is not new to me, this color is, so I wanted to throw it in this video."
"Let's go with this One/Size Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray. Now, let's drench the face in this gorgeous setting spray. I'm choosing this setting for you guys if you want the most beautiful glowy finish to your skin, but you don't want oiliness. It's perfect cuz you're just going to look fresh, fresh as ever, but it also helps your makeup last, and that's the vibe that I want today."

My FAVORITE Products from June 2025 😍
"This is the One/Size Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray. I have this all over the skin. Can you see how luminous it is, but it's not sparkly, and it actually locks in your makeup. You don't get a glow from an oiliness. It's like, you know how the Tatcha Dewy Skin Mist, for example, the glow comes from an oily base? This actually makes your makeup last all day long, but it melts everything and makes it look so much more skin-like. I am loving this. It's so good. I've been drenching my face like crazy in it basically every day, and I've noticed a huge difference in just the overall appearance of my skin and how fresh it makes my skin look."

Testing TONS of Hyped NEW Makeup! 🙊
"I feel like something that contributed to the nice complexion must have been this One/Size Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray. I feel like it looks really nice on the skin. I'm going to have to keep using it. I'm not sure if it tops the Fenty one right now for me. That one's a very different setting spray than this one in my opinion. This one has a little bit more of that glass skin finish. But I'm excited to continue to play with this and maybe next time apply a little bit more and see how glass skin-like my skin can be if I really go overboard with this or spray a lot. I love the packaging and I really liked how it applied."
"I tried out the Easy Bake Setting Spray from Huda Beauty, and I love it. It's what I'm wearing today. This one does something a little different. This one's actually slightly blurring, which I love. So, it kind of smooths the skin, which I really like, especially when I have glowier products on already and I just want like a little bit of a soft focus effect on top of everything. I love the packaging, too, because you can actually twist it to reveal the sprayer and then you can lock it. I feel like that's great for travel. It also has a really nice mist on it. It's fragrance free. It has niacinamide, hyaluronic acid. It's alcohol-free and I really love it."

"An optional product is the Easy Blur Primer from Huda Beauty. If you have larger pores, the tiniest amount of a blurring stick or primer over the largest pores gives that soft focus airbrush effect in person. The Lancome blur stick is what I would have suggested but it got discontinued, and the Tarte one is another option."
"What I like about this off the bat is how lightweight it feels. You know how a lot of the silicone primers feel very heavy even though they're very effective and they make the skin look flawless? This has almost a watery feel to it which is nice. I really like that. I really like how lightweight it feels. It really smooths things out and it feels like it's not sitting on top of the skin, which makes me excited because I wasn't sure how it was going to perform underneath foundation."
"The ELF Halo Glow Powder is pretty glowy, so if you don't want as much glow as it's offering you can always mix it in with your more matte powder and kind of control the glow there. The ELF Halo Glow Powder is really excellent at setting your face but still leaving that glow. If you're somebody that feels like you want to set your skin but you don't want to mattify things, I feel like that's a great product. It's not glittery either, it just gives a really nice soft glow.

YOU Told Me To Try This Makeup...
"The e.l.f. Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray has a little bit of separation, so you're supposed to shake it up before you apply it. It's a by-face setting spray with aloe and hyaluronic acid and it's supposed to grip the makeup onto the skin and be dewy. The mist on this is perfection, it's so beautiful and so fine you can barely see it. It does seem to have added a little bit more glow to the skin."
"The Marshmallow Primer from NYX, I really love this stuff. What I like about this one is it's super lightweight, it has a nice whipped texture, it smells really good, and it's supposed to have like brightening ingredients in it. I can't really say if it's actually brightened my skin or not over time, but I can say that I really do love the texture of this."
"I am thankful for the e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer, this is one of my favorite primers ever, and it just so happens to be one of the most affordable ones as well, which I love.

"This Elf Poreless Putty Primer, they weren't messing around when they made this. I have been using this basically daily since trying it out. It really does something special to the T-zone, I feel like it smooths my skin out so beautifully somehow. I also feel like the longevity of my makeup is really improved, which is not always the case with products like this. Anything like pore filling or semi-matifying sometimes actually does the opposite on my skin for some reason, it will break up foundation. Not this one, this is incredible. Love that it's from the drugstore. Ten out of ten on this as well, it is so good."
UPDATED: The BEST Primers ACCORDING TO YOU 😱
"This is hands down the best primer I've ever tried. Not only does it noticeably make your makeup look better and blur all imperfections, it also has the power to make foundations that would normally look cakey and pill up smooth again. I really love this formula, it's so nice, it's one of the best performing primers out there. I cannot say enough good things about this primer, it is amazing how great my skin looks with it. I have mature dry skin and it blurs my pores to perfection. The thing I like best about it is no matter what foundation or skin tint I use, it pairs with everything. I also agree, I feel like it really does pair with anything, that's one of the reasons why it's one of my favorites in my collection."

The NEW e.l.f. LIQUID Putty Primer 🙉 Is it different?
"I'm leaning towards this and favoring this overall. I like the feeling of it upon application, it just feels really special, feels like silk. Once this dries down it has a very similar feel to it, and there's just something about it, I really do feel like it's different, and I feel like it's controlling my oils a little bit more on this side. It's really good, I'm a fan. It's a thumbs up for me. Definitely has my stamp of approval and I'm excited to use it again, I'm actually going to keep it on my desk."

I feel like this primer for me actually makes a difference in how my makeup looks and wears, you know, how some don't really. This one actually does for me, so I love this one."
I was losing faith in the drugstore.. UNTIL NOW 😍
"Another incredible product from the drugstore that I can't get enough of is the ELF Poreless Putty Primer. It just has an incredible way of smoothing out the skin, but also, I swear to you, it makes my makeup last so much longer. I'm going to apply this through the T-zone, focusing it there, and then bring it out on the rest of the face."
The PERFECT Back to School Makeup (all affordable)
"I'm going to go in with the elf Poreless Putty Primer, this stuff is incredible, especially for longevity. For a situation like going back to school or work, you just don't have as much time to worry about your makeup slipping off throughout the day, so this is a really, really important quick step that can really help with longevity. I like to give that a second to sink into the skin and dry down a little bit before going into foundation."

TRYING DRUGSTORE ALLURE WINNERS 2024!!!
"I'm going to apply a primer that won best mattifying primer, and it's the e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer. You guys know how much I love this. I don't feel like it's mattifying or super drying per se, but I do feel like it does give you a more velvety finish to the skin. It's one of my all-time favorite primers, I adore this, so I was excited to see that it won an award again. I do feel like this one deserves a double award. I'm still using it and I'm still loving it years after it launched, so I do think it's very very good. I love this primer. Honestly, if you've never tried this, it's one of the best between drugstore and high-end."
We Need to Talk About e.l.f. (& try their new makeup)
"The e.l.f putty primer was initially supposed to be a dupe for the Tarte putty primer, and that line has since expanded into the liquid Poreless Putty Primer, which I love."
Here's the BEST Drugstore Makeup RIGHT NOW 😍
"This to me is the best primer at the drugstore right now, it's the e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer. This checks off all of my boxes and I actually notice a difference when I use this underneath makeup. There's so many products you can use under makeup, even skin prep, and a lot of them can just feel nice but actually not make a difference. I find that this actually makes a difference because it smooths the pores, but it's a liquid so it just blends easily. I feel like my makeup looks much better on top of this. It's actually one of my favorite primers period, not just from the drugstore, it is so good. I focus it in the T-zone and then I just kind of apply whatever's left on the outside of my face. It's one of my favorite products for a skin product. There's so many good ones at the drugstore, but this one really takes the cake for me right now."
"I actually love how this applied and how it felt. I don't think it's as gripping or as longwearing as say the e.l.f. gripping primer is, and I don't think that this is 24-hour wear. The finish of these looked really nice on my skin. It had that slight bit of glow, but I feel like a lot of primers and setting sprays kind of do that as well. I'm not saying these are bad products at all. I just don't think they're the most long-wearing primer and setting spray combo I've ever tried."
"The best loose powder went to One/Size Beauty's Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder. I grabbed the translucent version to set my face. It's a fabulous, more heavy duty powder formula and it blurs the skin in such a nice way. I like a more heavy duty setting powder because it feels more versatile and locks in all day."
"I'm not usually a primer gal but this is the one primer I feel like actually does something for my makeup. I like how it grips your makeup but is also hydrating. This makes my foundation last so long and I find it works well with so many products."

She actually made sure that I didn't have any under eye creases before going in with this powder and she just used the tiniest amount and just pressed it under the eyes.

"I usually use it after my Huda Beauty powder because I love my Huda Beauty. It's one of my favorite all-time favorite powders, it's so good. It has shimmer but it's not very detectable, right, it feels like a soft radiance to your skin, so like a dull powder. I haven't applied it correctly, I think maybe I put too much on or something. It is a beautiful texture."
YOU Told Me To Try This Makeup...
"I've had it for a long time, I've used it for a long time, but it's never like stuck into my routine the way the Hooda Beauty one has. I think I've been doing wrong with this is kind of like applying it the way I would the Hooda Beauty, and I think maybe I'm applying too much. It really is such a beautiful powder, and I think I truly was just using too much, because I feel like with the Hooda Beauty you can honestly use quite a bit of it and it never goes wrong, where this formula might be better with just a little less."
"This adds glow to the skin, a little hint of coverage, can be used as highlighter as a primer. I typically use it as a glowy primer. The formula is really beautiful. It's a little bit of a deeper shade, but I can't really tell a difference even though the shade is a little darker."

"This is one of the very first high-end makeup products I ever tried. It's just one of those classic primers. It's a very interesting whipped pore filling texture. The smell even takes me back, I think it was 2014 that I discovered this product."
"I still like the beauty blender one a little bit more there's a little bit more of a bounce to it and the fibers here are really really soft. However, I do understand that it's $18 and in that case I feel like this actually did give a very very similar if not identical effect. It's more of the feel that's more different so you're going to get the same effect with this but it's just a different experience when you compare the two. I think a tool like this though is so handy and so good to have especially if you're a makeup artist as well. It's always nice to have some sort of a puff to kind of have on your finger while you're doing eye makeup or something because you can rest it onto your client's face without like disturbing the makeup underneath. For me, even though you do get a very similar effect, if you've wanted to use some sort of a puff this is a really good one and if you want a sponge on the other side for the creams this worked really well as well. The effect can definitely be duped with this but the feel and overall experience I feel like still goes to the beauty blender. If you want the effect for a lot less of the price this is a great option."
"This powder is the best for like again that airbrushed look, which I'm going for fresh airbrushed. I'm taking this powder on my BK Beauty N14 and we're going to set the concealer with this, being more generous in the center right here where I have the most pores, most visible pores, I should say. I have pores everywhere, but that's kind of where I want to smooth things out. Also tap this in the center of the forehead. I also love putting a bit of powder in the brows.

I'm all for a good innovative product, too. But for everyday, I realistically just need to be able to use things that I know are going to perform. And that is this product for me."
FINALLY Testing This NEW Makeup… 😱
"This powder looks nice. My skin looks very flawless. I have nothing bad to say about it. In fact, I really like how this looks. I am somebody who loves powder anyway, and I love a little bit more of a matte base to start with because I like to control the amount of glow that I have in other ways. So I'm really liking this. It feels good on the skin."
My #1 Makeup RIGHT NOW 😍 (best of best)
"This is like holy grail status for me currently. It is so nice. I love to set the under eyes with this. Buff it around the T-zone. It just blurs the face. It sets really well. You can kind of build it up if you want to for a hint of coverage. But it just overall looks flawless and it makes my makeup last all day, which is what I look for in a powder obviously. And I never want it to look dusty or crepey or cakey under the eyes. And this one doesn't. It really honestly never does."
The Tutorial You BEGGED Me For!! (My TikTok Live Makeup)
"I knew powder was going to be extremely important so I went with my current favorite, this is from Makeup by Mario, The Surreal Skin Soft Blur Setting Powder in the shade soft pink. I really pressed the powder into the T-Zone because that's where I know I get the most oily throughout the day. Since I was going to be live for 8 hours I knew my makeup had a higher chance of expiring, so I made sure to really create an airbrushed look up front so that it just had better longevity."
FULL FACE OF MAKEUP BY MARIO...
"This is one of my current favorites from Mario, but also in general right now. It's so good. I can't live without a loose powder. It is an everyday staple for me. I feel like when you use this many creams and skin prep, it actually melts down into like your foundation and concealer and cream products and then as your natural warmth and oils come through from your skin, it like freshens up and doesn't look dusty."
Mario's NEW 🌙 Moonlight Ethereal Eyes PALETTE 😱
"This is the Surreal Skin Soft Blur Setting Powder in the shade Fair Pink. The powder puff is very bouncy and extremely flexible, not as firm as some of the other ones that I usually use, which is kind of interesting. But together with this powder it's really creating a nice airbrushed effect which I love."
The Absolute BEST MAKEUP from September 2024 😍
"This Makeup by Mario Surreal Skin Soft Blur Setting Powder is such a good classic feeling setting powder. It's a nice heavier duty powder that really locks in the makeup and it blurs and smooths. It's not like a super lightweight powder, but I like something like this because I feel like you actually have a little more control and you can take a smaller amount if you want a lighter feel with a powder, but if you need it to really lock in for hours and hours you have that capability with something like this as well. So loving this so much."
"I really like the packaging it has a nice stopper on it. This one feels very lightweight which is nice, very smooth too. I feel like a little goes a long way. I didn't use even half of what I dumped out. It feels really nice though. I like how lightweight it is, it feels very smoothing, feels very soft. Yeah, it feels really nice."
"Bobbi Brown reformulated this, adding a super vitamin blend with five times the vitamins, supposedly more moisturizing, and I was hoping it would still be similar because it was already so good. This is a classic for a reason, it's such a thick, rich moisturizer, but it feels really nice underneath makeup. It has the same nostalgic, iconic scent. It feels pretty similar from memory and is sinking into the skin really nicely, leaving a bit of a grip, very rich. It seems to be working as well as ever, it feels really nice on the skin and I feel like it's also contributing to how nice my complexion products look. That's a classic and a staple for a reason."

I also have dry skin and live in a dry climate, and when I would try skin tints or foundations they would quickly look very patchy. Once I added this base to my routine, suddenly everything started to lay perfectly smooth. I don't know what kind of magic they put into this, but it's worth every penny."

Definitely not foundation level. So, if you feel like you have quite a bit of redness or you have like blemishes you would like to cover up, maybe you wouldn't like this. But even then, I've left it for so long, even through all the years where I had super active breakouts. All I would do is just use this all over and then spot conceal.

"I started using this Nurse Jamie Uplift pretty religiously preparing for my bridal video and it's really fabulous. It just helps depuff the face. It feels amazing in the morning."
"I'm going to be using the Rodan + Fields Glazing Milk. This is something that has been in my routine literally since it launched. It's amazing. For a really good no makeup makeup look you kind of have to focus a little bit more on your skin care. It doesn't mean it has to be complex but just using something or a couple of products right before your makeup to help prime. If I could choose between a primer or good skin care underneath makeup when I'm in a pinch, I'm always going to reach for skin care. I just think it has the most natural effect and it makes your makeup look the best. The Rodan + Fields Glazing Milk is pretty hydrating."
"I am loving it. I was not sure if I would love it as much as or if I would get as much use out of it as I have my Dyson air wrap and by golly I really really love this thing. It's basically like the Dyson air wrap but it blow dries your hair straight. I've figured out that when my hair is straight it's way less prone to tangles and my hair gets tangled so easily so I have been loving this. I like it because it's also similar to the air wrap in the sense that because it's using air instead of actual hot plates I feel like my hair straightens really well but it's never ever ever felt like it's drying it out or damaging my hair so that's a plus as well. You can actually keep it closed and blow dry your roots and then you take your hair as it's still damp and you just go section by section and it blows the air out of the bottom and then it clamps your hair to straighten it. I'm loving it, it's so good."
"The Living Proof Full Dry Volume and Texture Spray really does a good job at adding texture to the hair. It's been in my routine for a long time and it smells really great."

"I always prep my skin with this product after moisturizing for the perfect base to start my face makeup. I love the tint and glow it gives my skin. I've never had it sit badly underneath foundation. It really is such a good one."

"The elf Halo Glow Liquid Filter, this stuff went viral this year or was it last year I don't know recently. This little number right here won an award which I feel like it's well deserved."
Drugstore Makeup That Outperforms High-End with MARLENA STELL!!
"I've been talking about this since it came out, the e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter, absolutely love it. I compare it to the Charlotte Tilbury one and in my opinion I feel like this one's better. It's better than high-end, it's one-third of the price, and I like this one more because it still gives you the glow but it's very natural. As I've gotten older I get really dry so I need something that's hydrating, and I like a good liquid highlighter but that doesn't look glittery and this isn't that. It just gives you a very natural glow, not that streak of glitter. It's absolutely gorgeous and so easy to blend. It's not metallic at all, it just blends in and it makes you look healthy. The formula is so good and the packaging is good on this too. I like the little wand and the glass bottle, it feels very substantial for what you get. The packaging is so easy to use like I'll just dab it on or dab it on my hand and just take a sponge and stipple it on. It's so easy to use."
We Need to Talk About e.l.f. (& try their new makeup)
"I did a video where I tried this side by side with the Charlotte Tilbury one and it is indeed a dupe. I feel like e.l.f. obviously takes the cake for duping viral products really really well. Some of these formulas I feel like do end up being a little bit different and some of them I like better than the original, this being a good example of that."

Doing My Friend's Makeup and I'm Terrified 😨
"I love this thing by the way. If you're a makeup artist or if you film, you need this, the Sigma Switch. It just kind of takes off any leftover eyeshadow so you can keep using the same brush and blend or go between colors and not stress too much about it."
"The Beautyblender Pro, the Black Beautyblender, I swear this beauty blender is the Elite beauty blender. It works better than the pink one. I'm not sure how that is but it just does. If you're somebody who really loves beauty tools but a beauty blender feels a little steep because twenty dollars is a lot, right, for a sponge, ten dollars feels so much more approachable. So if you've wanted to try a beauty blender, try the Pro."
"These are the new Drunk Elephant B-Goldie Bright Drops. This has five percent niacinamide in it. It's like a golden serum. You can see on my hands the level of sheen it gives, so it's definitely going to give you a glow, but it feels like skincare because it kind of is skincare, which I really love. I'm so excited I'm literally going to keep these upstairs in my skincare drawer."
"This is their liquid luminizer and I have mine in the shade enlightened. It's a pretty intense highlight if I do recall. I think where I've gone wrong with this product in the past is applying it directly to the face because it is so intense and it's easy to go overboard with. I feel like it's really nice when you apply it with your fingertips and melt the product into your skin a little bit so you don't have too much."
"This is such an incredible product. I feel like this is such a good product for sculpting and bronzing the skin. It's like the perfect color for me. I feel for those times where I want that structure but I don't want it to be too cool toned."

OH MY.. This New Makeup is INSANE 😱
"This is undetectable, it's like unclockable. There's a very visible difference in how healthy and even this side of the face looks versus this side, but it literally looks like it's my skin. I feel like most skin tints kind of give this effect, but this is by far the most skin-like skin tint I've tried. I was expecting good things, was not expecting it to potentially be like my new favorite skin tint. This is like a confidence-boosting type of a skin tint. It's setting down, which gives me the assumption that this is going to be a little more long-wearing. Plus the shade match, I feel like that's also what's making this work so well for me and making it so that it's literally undetectable. It's my exact skin tone, so you actually cannot tell where it starts and stops."
Again: Why I'm OBSESSED With These NEW Makeup Finds... 😍
"This is an insane skin tint. I've never experienced a formula quite like this. The shade match is phenomenal. The formula is so good, I'm not even kidding you when I say I woke up excited to put this on. Something's good when you wake up and you're like, wait, I'm excited about something? I love everything about this. I love how it feels, I love how it looks, I love how it actually looks like your skin but it still gives really great coverage."
WHAT I BOUGHT AT ULTA & SEPHORA 🙈
"This is like a magical filter for your face. It offers minimal coverage but makes blemishes simply irrelevant. Your complexion looks fresh and radiant, not greasy, and the product is completely invisible."
Answering YOUR Makeup Questions
"Something more high-end I love the Lisa Eldridge skin tint, that one actually looks like skin. It's crazy, and every single time I wear that, people are like your skin is amazing. They don't say wow how'd you do your makeup, they literally say your skin looks amazing."
How Did I Forget Last Month's Favorites?! HERE THEY ARE!! 😍
"The more you blend it and buff it into the skin the more natural it looks. I bought the shade zero which has been absolutely perfect for me. I can't stop talking about and wearing the Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin Enhancing Tint, this is such a good skin tint it's insane. First of all the packaging is so cute, it's very travel friendly. I wear the shade T2 and it's like a perfect match for me so I feel like I can really apply it if I'm in a rush or I can use a brush as well and it's just the most perfect shade match for me. I love how buildable it is. It also works with more glam looks. It's just so good for either no makeup makeup looks or you can make a little bit more of a glam look by adding concealer and things like that. I just think it's so versatile and it wears really well on me which is pretty impressive. I feel like I don't expect that out of my skin tint since they are more sheer coverage and things like that but I'm obsessed with it, it's so good."
What's ACTUALLY in Lisa J's Makeup Bag?!
"This is brand new and I'm obsessed with it. I technically didn't need to bring it but I threw it in because I'm that in love with it. It's really nice for lighter coverage, like airport days."

THE BEST MAKEUP OF 2024!!! (Final Episode)
"The Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin Enhancing Tint could possibly be my favorite skin tint launch of the year, and it's to die for. It's a bit more of a splurge, but every single time I wear this somebody says my skin looks amazing, not that my makeup looks good. I take it everywhere and pack it in my makeup bag for trips. One of my favorite discoveries this year."

The #1 Foundations for FALL + a secret 😉
"I launched a beauty line called Revie Beauty and we launched with my dream everyday lip formula. It has been so surreal to see you guys not just order but now start to wear them and receive your packages in the mail. I couldn't be more thankful for the support but also how much you guys are loving the formula. It makes me so happy because I feel like it's such a unique lip formula and it seems like so far you guys feel the same."
I FINALLY GET TO SHARE THIS!!! 😭
"We launched last year with my dream everyday lip formula called Revie Beauty Effortless Lips. It's a hybrid between a lipstick and a lip balm. It's the perfect everyday lipstick. We launched the formula in my three essential shades and it's already changed my life. The way you guys have shown up for me on launch day, before launch, and ever since then has been the most fulfilling thing. To dream up a product in my mind, create it with so much TLC, put it out in the world, and have it be received the way that it was by you, I don't think I will ever be able to repay you for that."
The #1 Makeup from October 2023 😍
"These lipsticks are everything to me. Lily is the perfect everyday peachy pink nude, and Dalia is my personal everyday shade, a color that was inspired by my natural lip shade with a little bit of that mauvey midtone pink vibe. Tulip is a pinky red that really saves the day sometimes. This is a sheer buildable formula and it's genuinely my dream everyday lip formula. It's been so surreal to see you guys wearing them and hearing feedback, and it seems like you guys are loving them as much as I am. This formula really is something that I feel like is special and I feel like this is just always going to have a special place in my heart being the very first Revie Beauty launch and an absolute dream come true."
The Perfect Holiday Makeup Tutorial
"I wanted something that felt very holiday but wasn't like your typical red and I wanted to try using Verbina which is my brown Berry from Revie Beauty, this is Effortless Lips my dream everyday lip formula. I'm starting with just one layer to see how it's going to go. Yeah, I really like that. I feel like that looks so pretty. I'm wanting like a hint more red so I think I'm going to mix in a tiny little bit of Rose. I feel like that's a really nice burgundy but adding the rose in there makes it less brown which I feel like feels more holiday. That's pretty, I love that deep red."
MY DREAM PRODUCT: THE BEST ONE YET!!!
"Effortless Lips, which you guys are loving still, we now have nine shades which is so surreal and over a thousand reviews which just blows my mind. Every day thank you guys for loving that formula as much as I do."

"Revie Beauty Effortless Lips. This is my dream everyday lip formula that I created. It is top notch, out of this world. Of course I'm biased, but it's literally so good, so hydrating, and just kind of gives your lips a glowy balmy look. It's very buildable as well."
FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY!!! 😭😭😭
"We launched last year with my dream everyday lip formula called Effortless Lips. The way you guys received the launch of this brand changed my life forever and then a couple months ago we expanded that same range with three new colors and it's just been such a joy for me to see the thing that I dream up create and then launch and then see you wearing and using and loving like there's no better feeling. This has been the most phenomenal experience of my life so far."
The Only Wedding Makeup Tutorial You’ll Ever Need

"Effortless Lips is essentially a balmy lipstick that's really comfortable. It's what I've got on my lips today and it's great for beginners."
"Their aroma therapy pen is a spa fragrance in a little pen and I feel like it's actually a really nice scent. It's nice and pleasant and I thought it was a really fun experience. I'm going to give this a yellow because I don't think I'm going to use it all that often. I'm just not somebody who really does the whole aroma therapy pen right now in my life. If you're somebody who finds yourself using aroma therapy products you might really enjoy this, but for me it's not something that I would repurchase. I'm going to throw it in my purse to use it up, but it's not something that I would buy over and over again based off my first impressions. The fragrance is nice, but I feel like potentially because of that citrus note at the top, as the day goes on, these are the types of fragrances that could potentially give me more of a slight headache just because of that kind of strong citrus top note. I'm just so picky because my body is so sensitive to fragrances."
"I tried the NYX Wonder Snatch Concealer in the shade 06 Fair underneath my eyes. This color is nice and brightening on me, it's also quite smoothing, which is nice. It definitely gives really nice coverage underneath the eyes, I really like that, and I really loved the concealer."
"I've always loved my NYX concealer, when I run out of this I always restock on Amazon. This one's a little more airbrushed looking, which also blends out quickly and gives a little more soft focus."

I was losing faith in the drugstore.. UNTIL NOW 😍
"The color is great, it comes in many different shades, so if there's a certain color you're looking for for your skin tone or for whatever thing you're trying to kind of correct, they have more shades. But this one is great for me, my skin tone, and brightening up the eye area. You can already see how much better my eyes look. I almost don't need concealer."
I’ve Tried THOUSANDS—The Drugstore Makeup I Always Repurchase
"This is the best concealer from the drugstore hands down in my opinion. This is what works for me better than so many of my high-end concealers. I love it because it just looks like skin but you still can build the coverage. It's so stunning and very hydrating, looks especially nice underneath the eyes, and it just never fails me. I love that you can build the coverage without it looking or feeling cakey or heavy on the skin, or you can sheer things out. You can actually use this all over the skin if you're in a pinch and you don't want to wear a foundation or a skin tint. You can just buff this over the areas that you want to even out and it works really well as kind of like a skin tint as well. I love this concealer so much and I would never be able to live without it. It's so good."
Let's Reuse Our Makeup Together 😍 (I love this look!!)
"I'm going to reach for my NYX Bare With Me Concealer Serum and I'm going to put it on the back of my hand. This is going to help us kind of create a little more structure and have a little more precision. We're going to brighten up the eyes and also take it under the cheekbones. We're using a little bit of product with a lot more precision to brighten up the center and a bit on the chin."
Unexpected Holiday Makeup That Looks Expensive ✨
"It's been a minute since I've worn this concealer and I forgot how much I love this. It looks so good. It's a serum concealer so it does kind of have a little more of like a skin-like finish. But you can build the coverage, which I love. And it kind of plumps the skin, too, which I also love."
BEST of the BEST Affordable Makeup with Johnny Ross
"This is the next Bare With Me Concealer Serum. If we didn't talk about how incredible this is, just the littlest bit in there and it brightens up so so good. I've never had a concealer in my whole life stick into my routine the way this one did without a doubt. High-end and drugstore, yes, I love it."
The Ultimate 2024 Drugstore Makeup Starter Kit!
"For a starter kit at the drug store, this NYX Bare With Me Concealer Serum is my favorite concealer ever. I wear the shade light, and what I would recommend if you're just starting out is choosing a concealer that more closely matches your skin tone than one that's super brightening, just so that you can use it all over. If you're just getting into makeup and you have acne, I would recommend getting something that will be able to both cover your blemishes if you want to and also something that will help conceal the under eye area. What this does when it more closely matches your skin tone is you're able to conceal blemishes without them being highlighted, but when you do go around the eye area it doesn't look as obvious and makeup-y, you're not going to get a super highlighted and brightening effect. I like this for every day to just use something that matches. The shade light for me is perfect. I also love to apply a bit on the eyelids just to cancel out any discoloration."

Foolproof Date Night Makeup That Feels Like YOU
"I have been so in love with this Charlotte Tilbury Concealer. This is the shade Three Fair, which is the perfect match for me. I'm going a little more heavy with it than I typically do. I'm applying it on my cheeks and blending up the excess underneath the eyes, that way we're not overdoing it underneath the eyes and getting too creased. I take it down the center of the nose and underneath the cheeks as well to sculpt that out, then pat and buff it out. I take what's left and go up toward underneath the eyes, not to the waterline, but up this way to carve out the cheekbones a little bit. If you go on the bottom and also the top, it creates that illusion of a lifted cheekbone."
New Year, New Makeup 🤩 (also, do you like my new camera?!)

My Unexpected FAVORITES from Last Month!!
"It has good coverage, kind of like the Tarte Shape Tape. This is a little more thin, and it actually looks a little more skin-like, I feel, than Tarte Shape Tape, which I recently fell back in love with. I've been loving Shape Tape as well all over again. Just way less than I used to use in 2016."
The PERFECT Spring Makeup 🌸
"I know this is kind of like a little bit counterintuitive because this is technically a thicker formula, but hear me out. I've been loving this all over again. It's thicker, but if you use a little bit less, way less than what we used to use when we were in 2016, it looks so nice. You could also just like pat that in with your fingers if you wanted to. You could also apply this with your fingers. I've done it before if you were really in a pinch and just kind of like slap it on like a moisturizer, which is always so nice."

The Tutorial You BEGGED Me For!! (My TikTok Live Makeup)
"I really love how both of these wear under my eyes. I took the Tarte one to brighten so I took just a tiny bit of that and I kind of plopped that a little bit higher underneath the eyes."
Why did I ever stop using this? 🤯 (January Favorites)
"I think I love it because the coverage is so great. So you can use the smallest amount and it will look skin-like, but it'll give a little bit of an airbrushed finish, which I really love. And it still brightens the under eye even though I'm using the tiniest amount. The shade 20B light is like a perfect match for either my under eye or even blemishes if I want to cover any blemishes up. I've also loved to kind of pat it on the center of the chin just to kind of highlight things, and then I'll take what's left and kind of tap it into the forehead as well. It is such a nice little concealer."
I LOVE how this look turned out!! 😍 Keep using what you have!!
"I have been using Tarte Shape Tape because the last video I posted was the 2016 tutorial and I've just wanted to like see how it would be using an amount that's not insane the way that we used to in 2016. And I've actually been liking it."

Easy Everyday Fall Makeup Tutorial 🍂
"Next, I'm going to go in with a NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer. I figured since I was using the NARS foundation, we might as well go into a classic concealer. It's been around for years for a reason. I'm using the shade vanilla, and I'm going to apply this down the center of the face. I also like to bring this concealer, especially after bronzer or contour, down the sides of the nose just for a little more of a sculpted look, and also underneath the jawline to further sculpt out that bronzer."
The Perfect Holiday Makeup Tutorial
"I'm going to use the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in the shade Vanilla, and I'm going to take this underneath the eye as well as along the sides of the nose to kind of reverse sculpt the nose, and then underneath my contour right here, a little on my chin to highlight, and we'll do a tiny bit on the forehead. I've noticed when I use a little less concealer on the forehead it just wears better throughout the day, so I've been trying to do a little bit of a lighter amount, and then I'm going to blend that out with my brush. Once I use my brush to blend out the majority of the concealer, I always like to go back in with my sponge just to make sure the finish is really seamless."
A Timeless Makeup Tutorial: Never Go Out of Style ❤️
"The NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer is very timeless. It's a very classic formula that I feel like will never go out of style. The amount of concealer matters as well, so I'm mindful of how much I'm applying, focusing on the areas that I actually have darkness. I use a brush to buff this out all over the skin, taking concealer all over the eyelid to cancel out any redness there, and then I go back in with my sponge just to press that into the skin to make sure it looks as seamless and skin-like as possible."

"The best concealer award went to the classic NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, which I swear has also won in the past. This is such a good one though, and it's just such a reliable formula. At the end of the day, it's crazy because new things launch all the time, but there are some classics that just stand the test of time, and this is one of them. Typically less is more with this, and I really need to get my correct shade. I need to go in person for it though, because I feel like the shades are a little bit interesting, they're almost opposite. The one that says 030 Fair Cool is actually warm toned, and then this one says warm and it's actually cool toned, so it kind of confuses me when choosing a shade."
Nikki La Rose Does My Makeup!!! 😱
"I'm going to use the shade Honey from NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer. This is the shade my jam for all my fair clients if I want a color correct look up but not use an actual orange or peach or pink color corrector. I just go for a very peachy concealer and it works really really well."
"It's pretty lightweight, so it's not going to give you crazy coverage, but I feel like that makes sense since the e.l.f. Camo Concealer is something that's going to give you more coverage, so I like the fact that it has a little bit less. It has hydrating hibiscus complex and hyaluronic acid in it, that's why it kind of gives a little bit of a glow as well. I think that looks nice. I'm not sure if it's my favorite drugstore concealer yet, but time will tell."
"The Patrick Ta Major Skin Soft Blur Brightening Concealer also looks stunning underneath the eyes. I just need to get a little bit of a deeper shade, so that's on me."

"I love their Foundation. I tried this before and the thing is the consistency is pretty thick, like it's definitely more of a heavy-duty feeling concealer upon application. So I think that's why it kind of wasn't my favorite in the beginning, but I started using it and I started to learn the texture a little bit and learn how to use a little amount and I feel like it's so beautiful. I love how smoothing it is under the eyes. This color is really nice for me as well, it's 03 Fair Rosy. I love it. It's kind of funny how that happens sometimes like I'll buy something and try it out and not be into it, and like a couple months later I figure out how to use it properly and then it becomes a favorite. So that's one of those products for me. It's really good. I really don't think I've put it in a favorites video, which is honestly a crime. This deserves a spot in a favorites video."

Here's What I Bought at Sephora... 👀
"This is my Holy Grail concealer. The formula is so creamy, it's actually thicker than what I thought it would be, but then it blends out and looks so seamless and skin-like."

Doing My Friend's Makeup and I'm Terrified 😨
"This Haus Labs one took me off of my Nars light reflecting addiction for a second. I wear it all the time. It took me a second to really like it because I was using too much at first. I like to just work in small layers, especially on other people, just to make sure. I feel like you can always add more; it's much harder to take away."
Reusing AMAZING New Makeup 😍
"I have been using this a few times actually and I do like it so far. It's got a bit of like a tacky finish to this, like you can see how it kind of pulls at the skin, which I don't mind. I feel like that actually allows it to really adhere and blend beautifully."
THE BEST MAKEUP OF 2024!!! (Final Episode)
"This concealer from Haus Labs took me a second to fall in love with because it's a thicker formula, so you don't want to use too much. But once I got the hang of it, it became one of my favorites. There's something so perfecting and natural looking about it, just like their foundation which I love. It looks so good under the eyes and I really appreciate the unique paddle-shaped applicator for painting the under eyes. It's really beautiful and one of my favorites from the year."
What I'd Buy for YOU at Sephora RIGHT NOW 😍
"The Haus Labs concealer is one of the three I think are the best at Sephora. It's a little more of a thick formula and, like the foundation, at first I was using too much, but if you use just the right amount it looks stunning on the skin. It's the concealer I'm wearing all over the face today, under the eyes and down the center, and I even carved out my cheekbones with it. It's beautiful."
"I personally love this concealer. Tiffany said, "I've used many different concealers over the years, I'm almost 40, and I always come back to this one. It has great coverage and a wonderful formulation. A little goes a long way. I can thin it out for no makeup makeup days if I want to, and I can use it for full glam occasions. I can even use it under my eyes in a light layer and it will both cover my dark circles and not migrate into any fine lines." Siri says, "This concealer has been life-changing for me in terms of makeup. I use it under my eyes to cover rosacea, to conceal blemishes, but my favorite use is for touch-ups during the day. I carry a travel brush and this concealer with me every day and it saved me so many times when my base needed to be fixed.""

All 4 takes on Soft Matte Complete Concealer
The Perfect Everyday Makeup (Get Compliments Every Time)
"This is the NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer. I don't want every product that I'm using to be super glowy, and this is one that I feel like looks great all over the face, and because it has a little bit more of that matte finish it actually looks very skin-like. It gives great coverage while melting into the skin. I want my skin to look virtually flawless without looking heavy, so I'm buffing it into the areas of the cheeks that I have a little bit of redness, on the sides of the nose, avoiding putting too much on the bridge of the nose so it looks extra natural and healthy, then pressing it in with my sponge."

Overcoming Your Fear of Makeup: Part 1
"Using a softer matte concealer, my personal favorite is the NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer, for acne is absolutely incredible. The way that this does not have any sort of pearl to it, so it's not going to emphasize any texture on the skin, and the coverage is phenomenal, plus it blends into the skin so beautifully. It's so, so nice."
Doing My Friend's Makeup and I'm Terrified 😨
"I'm using a little bit of the NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer to further spot conceal. I love this one, it just, I mean it looks airbrushed on the skin. If you just need a little extra something but you don't want heaviness, this is what I go for."

I'm going to use the shade light Ivory and I don't feel like I need too much so just a little here and here. I'm just going to blend this out."

My #1 Products from July 2023 😍
"So I've been loving this. I'm wearing it underneath the eyes to kind of brighten. This is the Natasha Denona High Glam Concealer. I have the shade P1. I also have N1. This is so beautiful. It's very high coverage but lightweight, looks great underneath the eyes and all over the skin. It wears really well on me. I'm just really a huge fan of this concealer."
FINALLY TRYING THIS NEW MAKEUP...
"I'm going to use my Natasha Denona concealer today. I'm just going to do under the eyes along the jawline and the chin."

"I'm just going to use my Natasha Denona concealer as an eyeshadow primer with a little bit of setting powder."
Here's the Makeup I Packed to Disneyland 🤩
"For concealer I opted to bring my Natasha Denona High Glam Concealer in the shade N1. With this specific foundation I find that I didn't really need to use concealer on the face. I just popped a little bit under the eyes and called it a day. I also took a little bit on my brush or sponge and went on the eyelid because I get a lot of discoloration especially in this inner portion here and on the eyelid, so I just kind of like to cancel that out."
If I Took You to Sephora, Here's What I'd Buy You! 😍
"I would buy you the Natasha Denona concealer, this stuff is so good. It just kind of melts into the skin and looks like skin, which is so great. It reminds me a little bit of the Nars concealer, it has a little bit more of that tacky finish, which is a good thing, but it blends out like a dream. It really melts into the skin as well but it gives great coverage. It's a really beautiful skin-like concealer, just a little more heavy-duty, not heavy-looking, but it covers a little bit more and is a little more versatile and long-wearing. I use the shades N1 and P1 the most."
This Makeup INSTANTLY Boosted My Confidence ❤️
"I'm going to take this one from Natasha Denona, this is the High Glam Concealer. It's got like a creamy feel to it, it is so beautiful. I'm just going to do a little bit there, a little here, a little on my chin, and then I've been really liking this area for concealer as well. I'm going to take that same brush and just gently start to blend this out, and then once that's blended out with the brush, I like to take my sponge and just press that in so that it looks super seamless."
Full Face of NOTHING New (inspired by Nikki)
"I'm just going to take the Natasha Denona concealer which I think is the one she used and we're going to start applying this around the brows just to add some shape and to cancel out any discoloration that we have. I'm just kind of buffing it all around the brow area and all over the eyelids."
The Tutorial You BEGGED Me For!! (My TikTok Live Makeup)
"For concealer, I combined two of my favorite concealers, the Natasha Denona and the Tarte one, mostly for color but also formula. I really love how both of these wear under my eyes. I took the Natasha Denona one kind of further down and also along the face, and did a little bit in the forehead as well."
The Skin Tint EVERYONE is Talking About.. Let's test it!
"I'm gonna do a bit of the Natasha Denona concealer which I just barely talked about in my favorites video. I'm gonna keep this to my under eye area so I can really see how the skin tint wears on the rest of the face today. This does have a nice glowy finish to it and it feels like a bunch of skincare went on my face like it's very rich feeling as far as the hydration level goes."
My Exact Everyday Makeup Right Now 🥰
"The Natasha Denona concealer is great, but I think it's just a little thinner than my everyday favorite, so it doesn't crease as much on me. I think it's great still for more special occasion makeup maybe, but for everyday I prefer something else."

"For concealer I love the Natasha Denona concealer right now. This is one that I just can't get enough of right now and I feel like no matter what your skin type is or skin concerns are, I really feel like this formula will work for everybody, mature skin, dry skin, and even oily skin. It is a little bit more of like a dewy or hydrating concealer, but not so much so to where it slips off the face. It's still has quite a bit of ump to it. I think it's lovely. I love it so much."

"I am obsessed with the Natasha Denona concealer that's what I'm using and I'm going to start placing and blending this out starting with like the under eye area right here and then along the sides of the nose a little the way that this is able to blend out concealer is like a dream after I've used the brush I like to press that into the skin with my sponge."

Hands Down My #1 Makeup RIGHT NOW
"For concealer I'm still really into the Natasha Denona High Glam Concealer. I just think this looks so skin-like, it gives great coverage, and it's honestly really customizable. I feel like it looks great for more like no makeup makeup days, but also you can really build up the concealer, but it doesn't feel or look cakey or heavy on the skin, so it's really versatile that way. It helps brighten up the under eye area, and there's something about this kind of putty consistency that lasts really well on my eyes too. I do really love to put it right here as well. I find that I have quite a bit of discoloration right here, and I feel like this just brightens that area up so nice and keeps the area around my eyes feeling very fresh and making it look like I got a lot more sleep than I did."

It's beautiful under the eyes and all over the complexion."
THE BEST HIGH END MAKEUP OF 2023
"A little bit more of a substantial formula is the Natasha Denona High Glam Concealer, this one is so good. This one also has some skincare in it and it has a little bit more of a thick consistency but it's so nice. It's super hydrating but it's not such a hydrating concealer to where it slips off the face, it still has quite a bit of oomph to it which is really great for everyday and for more glam occasions."
"For concealer, the NYX Born to Glow Serum Concealer, I love this stuff. You guys know I am just taking that directly on my sponge and I'm going to apply this lower than I usually do since we already have eye makeup on, that way I can use what's left on the sponge and take it up toward the eyeshadow, versus like accidentally putting too much too close to the eyeshadow. But this is seeming to work really well to just work my way around the eyeshadow a bit. Love that for me."

"I'm throwing it back a little bit for me with the NYX Born to Glow Serum Concealer. This is such a beautiful hydrating formula that I feel like is so foolproof. It's been a while since I've used it on my channel so I wanted to revisit it again today because I feel like in the winter especially this really really shines. This is something too that's really great if you don't want to do like a full all over the face situation in the winter. This is actually beautiful all over the skin if you do like a couple of pumps and you want to use it almost as a foundation it works really well for that too. I find that I don't have to use that much concealer when I use that skin tint, so that is always a plus."
"I love this concealer so much, I have three shades. It's literally skin care and concealer combined, it gives you really nice coverage but it's so lightweight, especially around the eye area. It has a slight glow to it but it's not sparkly, it just looks healthy. Even up close you can't really tell that you're wearing concealer, but it does enough and it gives good coverage to where it's worth using on a daily basis."
"It's reminding me a little bit of the Nars radiant creamy concealer in that it's more thick, I want to say tacky but maybe that's not the prettiest word to describe concealer, but it's genuinely like that tackier kind of formula which I love. That went on so beautifully and the coverage is incredible."
"This is such a beautiful concealer. It's very long wearing, a little goes a long way. It's just a great go-to concealer, it's just a foolproof formula. I really love this one."
"For concealer I'm going to go into an old favorite of mine, this is the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. I'm going to use the shade 10 fair and I'm just going to use this basically just underneath the eyes. I don't feel like I really want too much coverage anywhere else. I just did like a couple over some blemishes but we're mainly going to focus this underneath the eyes."
"The Milani Conceal and Perfect, just the littlest bit in there and it brightens up so, so good. I've never had a concealer in my whole life stick into my routine the way this one did without a doubt. High-end and drugs, yes, I love it."

And I have and it's so good. For a no makeup makeup day, I'm really not worried about blemishes or acne scars. I mostly just want my under eyes to look more fresh. A good trick for concealer for a no makeup makeup day is not only to apply a little bit less but also to apply it lower and then blend it with your brush up toward the lash line, but don't apply it on the lash line or too high. Otherwise it can kind of get caked up and you'll be able to see that you're wearing concealer."

Ever since I did the placement event of concealer that Haley Bieber did in her strawberry girl makeup routine, I have been copying it because it just proved to me that you really don't need that much concealer to have a really flawless base. This has really switched things up for me because it ultimately gives me the same effect. I still feel like I've got the coverage that I want and it looks flawless like I want it to in the T-zone. It's a win-win: less product but more impact."

"I've just been loving this specific concealer for this look and this is honestly what changed my life this concealer placement. At first it feels like it's not going to be enough but then it is. It just really does something. You can see how you can just shape out the cheeks a little bit but then it like still looks like skin. I'm so into it. I feel like a lot of people have been doing their makeup like this but I was not a believer. I thought there's no way that's gonna work but it sure does."

"This concealer has been my holy grail for so many years. I've tried all the new ones thinking that maybe there is something better, but alas there is not. The coverage is amazing. You can thin it out for lighter application or bring it up to full coverage. My under eyes look filtered and the effect it gives is unmatched. It's like being under a ring light in real life.

"This concealer is so viral for some reason, it just hasn't stuck into my routine. It's so pretty, and as I'm putting it on I can like see why people really like it. Honestly, maybe it's because I haven't figured out the right shade for me. You know how sometimes that kind of just doesn't make your makeup look quite right if it's not the right color. This one's like too dark, so it's definitely not as light of a shade as I normally go for."

It's a very balancing formula meaning that it's not too glowy, not too greasy, and it's also not drying. You don't get like mega longevity with this as you would a more mattifying foundation, but I like that about this. I like that it looks more skin-like and has a finish that really looks like your skin is just healthy. This would work from teenagers all the way up to people with really mature skin. It's one of those products that really stands out in my entire makeup collection, not just from the drugstore. It's something that I will forever repurchase. The one con is the packaging."
How I’m Doing My Makeup in 2025 (Easy & Effortless!)
"The only thing that I don't love about this is the packaging. I feel like it just gets so messy. What I love about the skin tint is first of all I feel like the shade match is so great. Second of all I feel like the coverage is really really nice especially for everyday. It's not going to make you look too over the top, it's going to suit any sort of occasion or situation because you can also build up the coverage if you want to."

"The L'Oreal True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum is a great product for what you were expressing, to elevate your makeup a little bit. It does give a little more coverage, but the wear is really amazing on this, and you can really customize the coverage by how much you use."

"I love this and I've tried a lot of different skin tints lately. The packaging on this is not my favorite, it's so messy, but it's worth it to me because it just gives the most beautiful glow. It actually gives pretty good coverage for a skin tint and it just feels like skincare. It feels like it meshes into your skin. I love it, it's beautiful."

"If you feel like you have more dry to normal skin, I think that the L'Oreal True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum is one of the best drugstore products ever to exist. It is so beautiful. I feel like it's got very gorgeous buildable coverage, it's not going to look super heavy and makeup, and a long way, but you can also build it up, so it's really nice and very versatile. I would recommend this for more dry to normal or combo skin."

"The Sofie Pavitt Face Mandelic Clearing Serum is fabulous anytime I have an active breakout. It's formulated to be gentle for everyday, it brightens my skin and evens out my skin tone beautifully, and I haven't stopped using it all year."
"This is the Fenty Beauty Do and Plump Hydrating Nectar Glow Serum. I bought this during the Sephora sale, and I do really like it. The only thing is it does have a fragrance, but so far it hasn't irritated my skin as far as I'm concerned."
"I'm hooked on the Luna Sleeping Night Oil again. The smell of this brought back a lot of memories. I've been using this in the daytime as well and I'm about to buy a big bottle of this because I feel like it's just really really really working well for my skin. My skin's been very happy when I've used this. I noticed an immediate difference after like one or two nights of using it."
"I love Shani Darden as a brand and hadn't tried the Moisture Boost Plumping Serum, which won best hydrating serum. I tried it for the first time and the texture is gorgeous and luxurious. It felt like it really soaked into the skin and plumped up my skin. I'm so excited to keep using this."
"I love it. I think it's so beautiful. It has peptides, it has ceramides. It's supposed to give you visibly firmer, lifted, and smoother skin, and I swear my skin's loving whatever is happening here. I don't just use it for under makeup, I also wear it like as my night cream as well. I use this as like the first step and this is like the last step unless I'm using a face oil at night. Obsessed, love these so much."
"Do is one of my favorite skincare brands and I'm so excited it just landed in Sephora. The serum is one of the products I always keep in my travel bag, and this is my third bottle of it, which is huge for me because I rarely finish a skincare product. I've repurchased it several times. It's phenomenal and there's nothing I don't love from this brand, but the serum and the lotion are what I recommend the most."
"This is the Medicube Age-R Booster Pro. I bought this with my own money, I wouldn't be talking about it unless I didn't love it. It's basically a six-in-one device, it does so many different things, but I find myself using the very first mode, which is the booster mode. It basically helps your skincare go deeper into the skin, and honestly I've noticed a huge difference in the overall appearance of my skin. I've also been using the microcurrent level, I only use it on the lowest level, I'm working my way up to the higher levels. It does microcurrent, which is for firming your muscles, airshot mode, which is the electric needles for your pore elasticity, I haven't really played around with that one as much, and then booster mode is the one that helps your skincare absorb deeper into the skin. It also has light therapy in there. I've been really, really loving this, and I think because it has so many different functions, I've been using it a lot more consistently. I just keep it on my bathroom counter and I find myself reaching for it every single night as part of my night routine."
"The thing I love about Rhode is they work really well underneath makeup. So if you're stumped on like a good line to try out that I feel like would work for any age any skin type and work underneath makeup, honestly I really love Rhode products. I'm going to go in with the Peptide Glazing Fluid."

"This brand called Dieux is absolutely insane, I love it so much. When I travel and I want a super light toiletry bag I bring this serum, their Deliverance Serum. I've gone through two of these now, I'm on my second one here. This is one of the best skincare brands I've ever tried, it's so good I had to mention them. I always look forward to any new launches and I can't wait to restock this, because I actually cannot live without it, it's incredible, my skin loves it more than anything."
"I love the SkinFix Barrier+ Triple Lipid + Peptide Cream. This is my favorite Holy Grail like cream facial moisturizer. It is so good. I've never experienced a moisturizer where I notice a difference from just the lotion itself. Most of the time the lotion is just there to keep my hydration in check and all that, but I feel like when I use this one my skin looks better and better and better. I swear to you it's my favorite."
"Shani Darden also makes an amazing Lactic Acid Serum too which is so nice for brightening. This is a beautiful, very thin consistency so it really absorbs into the skin nicely. It's so good, I love that as well."
"This is supposed to be a vegan alternative to a retinol, which for me right now is really nice because I'm still breastfeeding, so I'm not using my other favorite retinol products at the moment. But I love what retinol does, so this gives the same kind of anti-aging, firming skin effect without retinol. I've used this for a while now, really love it, and was happy to see it win an award."
"This is from Laneige, the Glowy Makeup Serum. There was a hot minute where I was using this all the time. It's a beautiful product. It feels so nice on the skin honestly."
"I am on their PR list so I have tried a few things they've launched and everything I really really love. I wanted to incorporate my current favorite prequel product which is the Multi Quench Plumping Hydration Serum. I have been using it ever since I heard her talk about it and I've really been loving it. It just kind of plumps the skin, it makes it feel and look very nice."
"The Saie Glowy Super Gel in Starglow is so fabulous, you can use it as a primer too, but it's so good at the very end of your makeup, just tap a tiny bit onto the high points of the face for added magic and glow, especially for summer. It's such a good multi use product."
"A staple in my cabinet always is the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I feel like I've talked about this so many times, but like in emergencies, this is what I reach for. It's so fabulous. If you've overdone it with some sort of active on your face, if you've got a sunburn, if you've got really dry skin, like anything that you just need like a super fix of, the Ultra Repair Cream comes in very handy and it's always good to have on hand as well."

"This product is great to pair with retinol or lactic acid serum but it's great on its own as well. It's one of my favorites. If you're somebody who struggles with any sort of skin issues, you have to have the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream on hand. This is so great for any sort of eczema, dry patches, breakouts, burns, rashes, you name it. When in doubt, you use this. If you have skin issues at all in any way, this is something that's so great to have on hand. You can use it anywhere on the body. I fell in love with this specific product when I started using retinol and I went too hard on the retinol and my skin started peeling, and I lathered myself up in this and it literally saved me. I always have one of these on hand and I always recommend it to all my family and friends."

"This came in PR a while ago. It launched a couple months ago now, but it kind of smells the same as the Dewy Skin Cream, but you can definitely tell it's a lot more lightweight. It still gives that gorgeous smoothing texture to the skin. It's sinking in beautifully. It almost feels like a watery base at first and then it starts to sink in. You can see the nice glow that it gives. Definitely does feel more lightweight than the original, but I'm interested to see how it wears throughout the day underneath makeup."

"There's some sort of sorcery going on with the Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream. This stuff is incredible. It's not only good for underneath makeup, but there's something magical that happens when you wear this and you put makeup on top. It is such a rich, actually very very dewy cream, but somehow it keeps my skin balanced. If you want that dewy look but you don't want your skin to go oily, I don't know what happens here, but any makeup that I apply on top of this just looks phenomenal. At the end of the day, especially if you're going to be wearing powders and things like that, it just melts the powders into the skin. There's something really special about that formula that I can't get enough of."

If you've never had a chance to try Augustina Spader, which I'm sure is the case for a lot of us because it's so expensive, this is a really great alternative.

I've been using it over the past few days and I am loving it. I've been actually using it in my morning and evening skincare routine and I feel like it's going to work great underneath makeup as well. I love the texture of this. I bought this, tried it out, and I'm so in love with it. It makes me so excited to try more from In Beauty. I just love this texture. My skin also seems to really be enjoying it and you get so much in here. It's similar to the Augustinus Bader cream which is so expensive. I have tried that before. It's a very unique texture. I do feel like this is so similar and gives such a similar vibe to the skin and you get so much in here for a fraction of the price."

The texture is so interesting, it's very similar to the Augustinus Bader moisturizer which a lot of celebrity makeup artists use. I've tried it, so I can say that it's similar in texture, and honestly I use this one more than that one. I probably should be using my expensive moisturizer, but I like this one more. I just really like the texture. I like that I feel like I can use it for both my skincare routine and my makeup routine and not break the bank. So it's a win all around. It's beautiful. I highly recommend you try this one."

"This was designed for like super dry skin or if you get like a facial done or some sort of laser treatment or something like that and you just need your skin to be nourished and for your skin barrier to be repaired. It's so moisturizing, it's ridiculous, but it's not so oily to where it feels like it's sitting on top of the skin. It sinks into the skin so much moisture gets absorbed into my face. I stopped using this for a couple of days and my skin felt like it was going to just flake off. I didn't realize how much this had been doing for me until I forgot to bring it when I was traveling and my skin really took a toll when I wasn't using it, and it was very happy and like bounced right back as soon as I added this back into my routine. If you're somebody who struggles with super super dry skin on the face, this is one of the best super rich moisturizers that does not break you out.

You can see the balmy finish that it gives. I do usually set my face after using this still, but it never looks like too much, which is so nice especially for everyday.

Ooh, okay, so this is actually a lighter texture than what I was expecting. It feels nice, it's sinking into the skin really beautifully. Tower 28 is all sensitive skin focused, which is nice, I feel like I just trust their products because of that. Okay, well that feels really nice."
"I heard that the Lancôme Cream Skin toner and moisturizer won an award. I actually just barely got sent this in PR, which was perfect timing, so I've been trying it out for the past couple of days. I used to use the old formula, which I really loved. I've heard mixed things about the new one, probably because people love the old formula so much, but I've really enjoyed this so far. I haven't noticed anything crazy with this in a negative way."
"This is a very pricey product and as much as I've enjoyed it, I also have to remember that I do this for a living and a lot of these products are sent to me. While I feel like this is a really nice product, I can 100 percent understand why somebody wouldn't want to spend the money on this, especially when there's other great skincare prep products out there. The fragrance in here is very distinct, so I can totally see how some people just might not vibe with that. I do like how it feels on my face, but sometimes you have those realizations too, like you know what, my moisturizer does the same thing."
"This is the Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream. I've seen makeup artists using this underneath makeup so I wanted to give it a go. That cream actually feels really nice on the skin."
"I picked up another Tree Hut Body Scrub, this time in the scent Pink Hibiscus. I just finished up my Coca-Cola one, which I love, and it was actually sold out at Walmart. I do like switching it up with these, I go through these pretty quickly so I like to switch up the scent.

"I love the Tree Hut body scrubs. I've had Moroccan Rose and the Sol one, and they're a fabulous, super inexpensive body care product that would make a great stocking stuffer."
Trying TONS of NEW Drugstore Makeup!! 😱
"I picked up another Tree Hut Body Scrub, this time in the scent Pink Hibiscus. I just finished up my Coca-Cola one, which I love, and it was actually sold out at Walmart. I do like switching it up with these, I go through these pretty quickly so I like to switch up the scent. This one has notes of fresh hibiscus, poppy, and raspberry, so it's quite summery, quite fresh."
"I love the Beauty by Earth self-tanning lotion. I wanted a pregnancy-safe glow, stumbled across it on Amazon and will never look back. I got the fair shade and it looks very natural with a gorgeous tone and undertone. I got so many compliments and it wasn't obvious like a spray tan."

All 2 takes on Self-Tanner Tanning Lotion
The Best Beauty Products from Last Month 😍
"This is by far the best tanning lotion I've ever tried. It turned out so beautiful. It honestly has worn so well. It's been over a week and it's still there. I bought the shade fair to medium because I needed it to be very natural. I was not about to risk the medium to dark or extra dark. I just needed a little tint to look natural for my personal skin tone. The thing about this is it's a tanning lotion, it's not a gradual lotion. You wake up after 6 hours of having this on and it's fully developed. I love that it had really clean ingredients in here. That's what made me want to try this. And then it smells so good. The formula itself being a lotion made it really even all over my body."

"Paired with the scrub, the Josie Maran body butter in Vanilla Vibes would be the best gift. People don't even know they're going to love it until they use it, and it's just divine."
"Oh my gosh, it smells so good and it's just so calming. I love applying it just to my neck and chest at night for the smell. It's honestly super soothing and it leaves a gorgeous glow, but it's so comforting. I love it so much. I was not able to use this in the first trimester. Like smells in the first trimester were too strong, but now that I'm in my third trimester, subtle scents like this are really calming. So, I love using that as my night routine."
"I was actually very surprised how luxurious this felt. The texture was unbelievable. It's a very creamy feeling body wash, it does suds up a little bit which I really really like, and it was very gentle and very hydrating. I could feel the hydration as I was washing my body. I really really liked the texture of this a lot. The only thing is I chose the scent with notes of rose and cherry cream because I don't typically love rose in general, but the cherry in here kind of made it feel a little bit medicinal, like it had a cough syrup smell a little bit. It's not horrible but it's not my favorite. They have a lot of different scents so I feel like I would go back and pick up another scent, but this texture was luxurious and I really really enjoyed it."
"The Body Serum is fabulous and has a lot of hydrating ingredients in it. For me personally, I've learned that if I have products that are dedicated to my body, I'm more likely to use them because it reminds me to be like, oh yeah, I should take care of the skin on my body, not just my face. It's nice to have a dedicated serum for the body since I always like to do treatments on my face and I don't want to neglect my body. It's fragrance-free, which is so great."
"The Necessaire Body Lotion is fragrance-free, just a really good classic Body Lotion that sinks into the skin, doesn't feel sticky, and just does the job. It's really nice."
"It's a gorgeous seaweed and algae infused body oil. It smells like a spa. This is clinically proven to instantly improve skin elasticity, which is so nice. The experience is so nice, but the fact that it works makes it that much better. It makes your skin feel so hydrated and so glowy but not greasy. It really absorbs into the skin and it almost has like this firming effect, which feels amazing. It's an iconic oia product. If there's one product that I feel like everyone should have in their cabinet, it's this right here."

The PERFECT Easy Winter Makeup ❄️
"This stuff has been a favorite of mine for so long, like years it's been in my cabinet. My skin craves this stuff. It is so beautiful. If you want a spa experience at home and you need a boost of hydration and just want to feel luxurious, this is the product for you. I haven't met one person that's tried this that doesn't love it. The smell is like a spa, it kind of has a citrusy aroma as well. It leaves your skin looking and feeling so glowy. It's packed with gorgeous ingredients, it's actually seaweed infused, and even though it's a body oil, it somehow absorbs into the skin so beautifully and never leaves your skin feeling overly greasy. It just feels super hydrated."
"This is a completely different texture because it's a body butter so if you want an even more rich consistency and hydration this is incredible. I put this all over my neck and chest and I just feel like it looks so healthy. It leaves this gorgeous glimmer to the skin but it's not an oil, so it sinks into the skin a little bit more but leaves your skin feeling so buttery soft. And it smells incredible."
"My favorite sheet masks I always get on Amazon. This is the Biodance Bio Collagen Real Deep Mask. It's so good. This one's also viral and for a good reason, honestly. This one says it's hydrating, pore minimizing, and firming. And these are the ones that you can leave on for like 3 to 4 hours. Some people leave them on overnight. I feel like it's just not practical for me to do that necessarily, but if you sleep on your back perfectly, you can try it overnight. I'm sure you'd see great results. For me, 3 to 4 hours is great. I'll just pop this on right after my babies go to sleep for the night. Usually I have like 3 hours or so before I'm ready to sleep. So good. Because I don't sleep with it on my face overnight, I like to wear it for like 3 hours."
"The Beauty of Joseon Ground Rice and Honey Glow Mask is my absolute favorite face mask this year. It's a little exfoliating and a little hydrating, and every time I use it in the morning before makeup my skin looks so good. It's become my special-occasion mask to prep my skin. It is top tier and a great price point."
"This is one of the most effective hair masks of my life. I love it so much. It smells really good. But honestly, I just love how it works. It just really works. And I haven't not had it in my shower since it launched, which seriously, it's been probably eight or nine years. It's a great addition to any hair care routine. This hair mask specifically adds so much hydration and shine. It's been a staple for me for years."
"This is the Sunday Riley Good Genes lactic acid treatment. Oh my gosh, this really makes a difference in my skin. I haven't used it for years. I used to use it all the time back in like 2017, 2018, back then my skin was super acne prone. I do remember really liking this, but I don't remember it being this good. Maybe it's because I've really healed my acne and so now when I use a lactic acid, I feel like I'm able to actually see the results. It's like one of those products that gives you basically instant results, which is always amazing when it comes to skincare products. My skin has looked way better since incorporating that back into my routine. 10 out of 10 loving this all over again. I'm definitely going to buy the big bottle after I run out of this."
"I love the Laneige sleeping overnight mask, the green one that tones down redness so well, so I was really excited to see this one. This one launched recently. I saw this when I went to the Laneige store in Korea, and I kept thinking about it so I bought it during the sale. The jar is so beautiful. I'm excited to try it."
"This is the Clarins Cryo Flash Cream Mask. I was reading through the reviews and apparently it's really cooling. Normally it's $80, but it's going to be $40 for me. I feel like an $80 face mask would take a lot for me to convince myself to buy, even though I love face masks, but having it at $40 I feel like that's kind of a no-brainer."
"The Drunk Elephant Bouncy Bright Facial mask is a great one to add at the very end of your skincare routine, it's just going to add a little boost of brightness. This is so good, this has salicylic acid and glycolic acid in it, so it's going to really brighten the skin and clear the skin, which is so nice. I love it. I notice a huge difference when I use this. I feel like this is one of my favorite discoveries of the year, I have never tried anything like this."

"The Drunk Elephant Bouncy Bright Facial is so nice. This is one of those masks that you add as a treatment at the very end of your skincare routine before sunscreen during the daytime or just at the end if you're doing your skincare at night. I love that this has a little bit of acne fighting ingredients in it and it brightens the skin as well. It's supposed to correct and clarify. It's got 10% AHC acid and 1% salicylic acid so it really just helps with any sort of acne issues and brightens the skin which I love."

"I received mine for my birthday last month and I've used it consistently since. I love how bouncy and soft it makes my hair feel. Game changer for sure."
If I Took You to Sephora, Here's What I'd Buy You! 😍
"I think I'm ready for the Dyson Airwrap. I literally for years I'm like no, I never do my hair, whatever, but I'm pushing 30, I'm going to turn 30 next year, and I was like, you know what, a Dyson Airwrap feels like it fits my 30s. I think that I'm old enough for a Dyson Airwrap now. It's such a splurge. It's actually an insane price point, but Tik Tok has convinced me. It took me like three years to be convinced, but I think I'm convinced."

It's TIME! 🎉 THE BEST SKINCARE OF 2024!!!
"I got this for Christmas last year and I've been loving it this year. It's so beautiful, especially for when you want to blow dry and style your hair. I feel like it's worth every penny. I've gotten a ton of use out of it and it's easier to use than everybody made it sound. Especially now that I have more curly hair, when I want to style my hair this has come in handy. When my hair is wet and I want to make it look fluffy and have a little bit more of a straight look, it's great. I love it so much."

"My most used hair mask by far was the Dove Intensive Repair Hair Mask. Out of all the hair products to try, you have to try this one. I'm floored at how fabulous it is; I see such a difference in the texture, shine and health of my hair. I've tried so many hair masks and this is by far one of the best out there, and the fact that it's Dove makes it that much better."
"My second favorite and most used shampoo and conditioner is the Dove Intensive Repair Shampoo and Conditioner. These are incredible and Dove really is such a great brand."
"I have used Aquis hair towels since the beginning of time and I love them so much, but I recently tried out their newest style and I'm even more in love. It's way better than it used to be, it used to have a button on the end that you would try to fasten, this just has a little elastic that you can use, it's way better. It essentially just wicks away moisture really quickly in the hair, which allows your hair to stay more strong. Wet hair is weak hair, so the faster you can wick away the moisture without drying it, the better, and that's what these are for. I've loved them, I think they're great. I have noticed a difference when I use those, plus it wicks away moisture so fast that I feel like it cuts my hair dry time in half, which is really great."

"This is the Aquis Hair Towel and I'm already a fan of Aquis hair towels, but they redesigned it and this design is so much better than my previous ones. This wicks away moisture from the hair. I love these hair towels so much. I want to replace all of my hair towels with the new shape, it just works so much better than the old one, which was like a button to fasten it. This just has like a little elastic that you loop the extra fabric through and it just works so well. I've been really really loving that."

"I have been dousing my hair in this serum and I am really excited to see the regrowth. I'm more banking on the regrowth happening. Hopefully I timed it well enough to get a little bit of regrowth to combat or counteract any hair that falls out postpartum. The formula is great and it's something that's just easy to apply. It doesn't make my hair feel heavy or greasy because some scalp serums can kind of be a little bit too much. It also doesn't have a tingly sensation. It's a really great serum and it has really great reviews. If you just look at all of their clinical studies and actual before and afters, you'll see how effective these are."
"You're going to want to check out the Rhode Glazing Milk if you have not already. If you don't have this already in your routine, now is the time to add it. It is the best like makeup prep product. It mixes really well with other toners. It mixes great with sunscreens and moisturizers and it leaves a really beautiful glowy dewy finish to the skin. It's a staple, a must have. I love that Rhode is now at Sephora so that you can use your coupon on Rhode products."

My #1 Products from July 2023 😍
"Speaking of skincare, I have another favorite that I am just beyond obsessed with, this is something that is also unlike anything I've ever tried, and it is from Rhode, this is the new Glazing Milk. This is incredible, you guys, the texture of this is so interesting. I genuinely have never ever tried anything like this before. It's essentially an essence, so you put it on after you cleanse the skin, and you can feel it sinking into the skin so beautifully, and it helps all of your other products absorb so well into the skin. It also leaves a really nice glow on the face, which is just beautiful. I also love wearing it morning and night and it works really well with my other skincare products. It also makes my makeup lay down really well too. I'm just really obsessed with this. When they first were teasing this on Instagram, I thought that I had tried something similar, and then I bought it and I tried it out and it's like no, this is not like anything that I've ever tried, so it's incredible. It has ceramides in it as well."
Ok fine.. Let's try "strawberry girl" makeup 👁️👄👁️
"We're going to start off with prepping the skin. She used her Rhode Glazing Milk. I actually love this stuff, I love this stuff, it's so good. So I'm going to take a bit of this on my hands and just prep the skin. I've actually never applied makeup on top of this right after, like I've never prepped my skin for makeup with this, but I use it morning and night, so technically it's underneath my makeup, but I've never done it right before a tutorial, so I'm excited to see how it looks."
My No-Overwhelm Guide to the Sephora Sale (What’s Actually Worth It) ✨
"It makes my skin feel lightly exfoliated, a little more plump and hydrated. It doesn't strip the skin, and if you're wearing makeup, it does help kind of remove makeup as well. It's so beautiful, so good. Now that Rhode is available at Sephora, I wanted to recommend this to anyone who wants a little bit of an essence to go into their skincare routine. I love this one, the Glazing Milk from Rhode. I would say this is the one I use maybe more frequently, and this one is a staple. If you haven't tried it, it would be a great time to try it. It's a great thing to incorporate into your morning and evening skincare routine, and it also works great underneath makeup. It also works great paired with dream cream, that's what I've been doing before makeup a lot."
10 Products That Will Transform Your Makeup! 😍
"This is a holy grail product for me. This is from the brand Rhode, this is their Glazing Milk. I love this formula so much, you guys have seen me use it time and time again. It has the most beautiful texture and it gives really great lightweight moisture. It plumps up the skin, soothes the skin, and adds a really, really nice glow as well. Something I also love doing with this is adding it all over the body, I feel like that's something that depending on your neckline can really help you just look healthy and make your makeup look better. It works great underneath makeup, you can also mix it into makeup, but honestly I just usually use it as a toner before moisturizer, and it's one of my all-time favorite things, especially with the drier months coming up. Fall and winter is when my skin really just kind of shrivels up, so it's important to add a little boost of hydration. In the summertime you can sometimes even use this on its own if you just want a really lightweight layer of moisture, but I love layering it with my moisturizer."
How To Make 2024 Your BEST Makeup Year, Ever.
"I'm going to start things off with the Rhode Glazing Milk. I love this stuff. I feel like their skin care is so good, and honestly I would recommend this to anybody just wanting a good solid routine that's easy to remember, easy to stick to, that's also not going to break the bank. I feel like their price point is really good, to where you feel like you're not overdoing it, but you're also investing a little bit more in higher quality and effective ingredients. The glazing milk just sinks into the skin, and because it's an essence it helps prep the skin for more products going in. I love that about Rhode too, they work really well underneath makeup, so if you're stumped on a good line to try out that would work for any age, any skin type, and work underneath makeup, I really love Rhode products."
Overcoming Your Fear of Makeup: Part 1
"A product that I swear by for my skin specifically, but honestly I think this would work for all skin types. This is the Rhode Glazing Milk, a ceramide facial essence. It just sinks into the skin and really helps to hydrate any dry flakiness. I feel like it just balances the skin, and it works so well underneath makeup, that's one thing I do know about this. I feel like it just adds a nice glow and really plumps the skin, which also helps your skin look healthier, and in turn helps your makeup look like you have healthy skin, because it just sinks into the products underneath."

THE BEST HAIR, SKIN & BODY PRODUCTS OF 2023
"This is one of my favorite discoveries of the year. I have never tried anything like this formula, this is the Rhode Glazing Milk and boy is it phenomenal. You can use this however you want really, I use it as my toner before applying moisturizer, but I also love applying it all over the body before my body moisturizer, especially on the neck and chest, it leaves the most beautiful glow all over the skin. I actually just did my new sister-in-law, she just got married to my brother-in-law, I did her makeup for her wedding and we used this on her body as a body glow, I mixed in a little bit of a liquid highlighter and put it all over her skin and her skin looked like it was glowing from within. The nice thing is it sinks into the skin so it doesn't leave your body feeling sticky if you do use it on the body, and it's phenomenal obviously on the face as well. Out of almost everything that I have in this video, I feel like this is something that everybody should try, it's just such a cool formula, I don't think I'll ever be able to live without it honestly."
"A body essence I absolutely love is the Cyclar Ceramide Milky Essence. I love the idea of an essence for your body and use it after exfoliating and before a body butter. It's fabulous."
"I picked up the Olaplex Volumizing Blow Dry Mist and focused it in the roots, but I honestly didn't notice a huge difference in my roots. It did leave my hair feeling smooth, though another product I used may have weighed my hair down so it couldn't hold as much. I'll give it another go, but based off my first impression I feel like I've tried better and I personally look for something more intense for my hair type."
"You could really get away with just blending it into the skin directly with your fingertips, but I feel like this would really help if you have a dense flat top brush to kind of break up those beads a little bit more. It just didn't melt into each other the way that the Chanel one did, but the brush helped that blend together really well and the end result was beautiful. For me, the Covergirl one honestly gets a green. I feel like it wouldn't look as good using your fingers, so keep that in mind. I know it's $21, but also the Chanel is $70, so for me it's like a no-brainer if you want to try a formula like this and you've never experienced it before or maybe you want to see what the vibe is. I do think they have a little bit more skincare ingredients in here, which is not always common for drugstore products to have a higher percentage of active ingredient. This for me is a green. It's a beautiful type of formula, but I do feel like it's a little bit overhyped. You can get a very similar effect for a lot less than even this one with a lot of the different skin tints that have launched at the drugstore."
"The COSRX Advanced Snail Mucin Power Essence is worth the hype. It's a product that lives up to the hype for her since her pores virtually disappear when she uses it consistently. She feels everyone's obsessed with it for a reason and highly recommends trying it if you haven't."
"I love the Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray. This is beautiful, especially if you have acne-prone skin. I honestly wish I had this during my intense acne days because I feel like it would have really come in handy, but I love having it anyways even though I don't always have active breakouts. It's nice if I'm feeling like I've got a little bit of texture or something like that. This is so beautiful and it just is great for sensitive skin. You don't have to worry about that if you have sensitive skin. So it's just a nice little spray all over the face. I have loved it. It's beautiful."
"The Flamingo razor is what I've been using for probably seven, eight, nine years. It's the only razor I use, and these daily-use items make really great stocking stuffers."

"The first one is the BK Beauty 109 Brush. The way that this is shaped is so perfect, especially for cream contour. You can also use it for foundation if you want to. I love that it has kind of like this half dome shape. It's so soft and when you use it, it just gets rid of any like streakiness that foundation can give. I love to use it for cream contour because I feel like I can flip the brush this way and really press and sculpt the cheeks with this. It is one of the best brushes out there. And I also feel like the size allows me to get into some of these harder to reach areas while still being very precise, which I really appreciate."
The Tutorial You BEGGED Me For!! (My TikTok Live Makeup)
"The BK Beauty 109 brush is one of the best, more precise contour brushes. I went back in with it and made sure that after the concealer was on, the bronzer was still feathered into the other products nicely, so it helped blend everything together."
THE BEST MAKEUP OF 2024!!! (Final Episode)
"For contour the BK Beauty 109 is unbelievable. It's the perfect size to really get into the hairline and make very precise but blended lines with your contour or bronzer."

"My favorite brush to apply cream contour with is the BK Beauty 109 Brush, it's just the perfect shape."
"I took the BK Beauty 107 brush and I took just a tiny bit of that powder on that and I just feathered that all around face and then I realized while I was there that I didn't really bring a brush for bronzer so I actually just used the 107 for my bronzer my powder bronzer anyway."
"To blend out the concealer I'm going to use the N16 brush. Oh my gosh, this looked absolutely fine but now that I'm using it, oh this is so soft. Are you kidding? Oh, this might be my favorite one so far. I love the more angular tip to this because it allows you to really get precision but it's still super super fluffy so it feels comfortable and looks good, but it's also super functional. This brush is absolute perfection. I thought I might like this one when I first saw it but like this one is love at first use."
"I've got my Bioderma micellar water, this is a staple, I've already gone through an entire one before, which is hard to do since it's large, but it's so good, specifically the combination and oily one, I absolutely love that."

Perfecting My Sister's Everyday Makeup (Step by Step)
"I started off with this micellar water, this is the Bioderma micellar water, it's the combo oily skin one, really, really good. It was recommended to me by Melanie Simon who owns Zip, she's an incredible aesthetician, and when she said buy this, I bought this."

"I've got my Bioderma micellar water, this is a staple, I've already gone through an entire one before, which is hard to do since it's large, but it's so good, specifically the combination and oily one, I absolutely love that."
"This is a micellar water that was recommended by Melanie Simon who is the founder of zip skincare, she is a celebrity aesthetician. I took notes on the product she was using and she swears by this and now I do too. This is now one of my favorite micellar waters ever. There's just something about it. It's made for combination and oily skin but honestly I feel like it's still gentle enough for all skin types. I just think you get like a little bit of a deeper clean with this. It's so good. I love that this one is so affordable as well."
"This is the Lisa Eldridge Skin Enhancing Treatment Cleanser. The formula, texture, scent, all of it, the experience is unlike anything I've ever experienced before. This will take off all of your makeup and you can also use it as a hydrating mask, which I am obsessed with, I use it like that all the time. This stuff is phenomenal, like 10 out of 10. She made a whole video when she first launched this where she explained the ingredients in there. It's so good, you have to try it, especially if you wear a lot of makeup. It's just like a multi-purpose cleanser, it just does everything, it's amazing, it's so nice, I love it. This has really nice ingredients in it and it actually I believe has glycolic acid, I could be wrong, it's either glycolic or lactic acid, I need to look at the ingredients again. Point is it really does a good job at polishing the skin while it cleanses. This gets rid of all my makeup as well, but it really does a good job at gently exfoliating the skin too, so you're left with really smooth skin, super clean skin, not over dried either. It's beautiful, it's one of my all time favorites, this always sits on my countertop in my bathroom because again it does take off makeup, which I love."
"The SkinFix Barrier+ Foaming Oil Cleanser is a beautiful hybrid between an oil cleanser and a cream cleanser. It kind of looks like a cream and then it foams up as well, and it breaks down makeup. This is amazing for lazy skin days when you're like I need to wash my face but I don't want to do a double cleanse. It's beautiful, it's hydrating, and it really helps protect the skin barrier."
"The Tatcha Rice Wash Skin Softening Cleanser is another one of my favorites. I accidentally fell in love with it because I kept it in my shower. The enzymes in here are so incredible. This has a little bit more of a grip so it's beautiful on the skin, but it's a really, really soft, gentle exfoliate. I feel like it really helps get rid of dead skin on the surface and it's just gentle. The little rice granules do dissolve as you work it into the skin and it just feels really nice on the skin. I love it so much. It's nice to have like a little bit more of a treatment cleanser in the shower that I love using."
"I love this sunscreen. It's their UV Clear SPF 46. It's from EltaMD and I'm obsessed with this. Doesn't break me out. It goes on white, but then when you rub it in, it's really easy. Feels like a moisturizer. So it's hydrating. Super hydrating."
"This is fabulous for like everyday if you're somebody who wants SPF in your makeup. It's a mineral SPF, by the way, which is fabulous. And it also just kind of like evens out the skin tone but doesn't look like makeup at all."

Here's the Makeup I Packed to Disneyland 🤩
"I brought the CL Tint and Protect Tinted Serum because I felt like this would be a great airport kind of a foundation, which I ended up doing. I wore this on the days where I traveled, and on the Disney days it was actually a little bit hotter than we were anticipating, so the longevity in this was really nice to have. I applied it with my favorite foundation brush, all over the face, focusing most of the product on the cheeks and then blending it inward, and the shade I use in this is 0.5 Neutral. It's literally a perfect match for me, which is so nice. There were situations where my baby was napping and I had to get ready in the dark, and I did my makeup literally in the dark one time, but I didn't have to worry about it because I feel like this product just performs so beautifully and matches so well that I wasn't really stressed about it. When she woke up I looked at my makeup and it looked pretty good for not being able to see half of my routine."
"I also went in with my Summer Fridays Shade Drops Mineral Milk Sunscreen. This is my favorite sunscreen, especially under makeup. Sunscreen is a hit or miss for me when it comes to going under makeup because I find that a lot of sunscreens can pill underneath makeup. This one I've never had a bad experience with. I feel like it definitely prepped the skin."

"I'm going to give a little shout out to the Summer Fridays Shade Drops Mineral Milk Sunscreen.

The Summer Fridays Shade Drops is incredible, I'm almost out of mine luckily I do have a backup but this is something that I would definitely put in your basket. If you haven't tried this yet it's my favorite sunscreen of all time, this is fantastic. It's a mineral sunscreen and it works beautifully underneath makeup which I always look for and it's also great for like every day even on no makeup days I reach for this. It's fantastic, I love it."

"This was my top sunscreen of the year, so I'm going to mention it again. This is empty, I need a new one. The Summer Fridays Shade Drops, it's a mineral milk sunscreen and it's my favorite. It's the best for underneath makeup, my skin loves it, it feels amazing on the skin, it's not greasy. It's just the best, so if you need a sunscreen, buy that one."
"This is the RMS Supernatural Radiance Serum SPF 30 in the shade light Aura. My skin is going through some things right now and so this has really just boosted my confidence and helped my skin look and appear just more healthy while I'm in the middle of caring for my skin and trying to improve it. This is tinted so it's going to give you some coverage actually and gives you insane glow as well, which is what I love. Already after one step my skin already feels and looks 10 times better."

TRYING TONS OF BRAND NEW MAKEUP 🤩
"This is the RMS Beauty Supernatural Radiance Serum SPF 30. It's a non-nano zinc SPF which is amazing. I love mineral sunscreens, and I've been using this like crazy. It gives a bit of coverage. Mine is in the shade light Aura, and it comes in three shades. It feels like I'm wearing nothing and it feels like I've only got skincare on because I basically do. I love how this adds a bit of coverage but it doesn't look like a tinted moisturizer or anything. It just melts into the skin and it's undetectable, but you can see my redness has definitely gone down and it just makes my skin look so healthy."
"This next thing is a sunscreen. What I used it for is when I'm on vacation and I want my makeup to last, I actually love it as a primer even though it's sunscreen. This is the Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen, it's their clear, like, chemical sunscreen. You guys know I love to stick to mineral sunscreens usually, but I do use this one for certain situations. This has a really beautiful texture, it's very smoothing. I don't know what it is about this, you guys, but this makes my makeup last so much longer, especially in like humid, hot weather, so I always pack this on vacation with me as my primer."
"I also wanted to recommend a really beautiful powder for under the eyes, this one's actually from Pat McGrath. It's their Blurring Under Eye Powder. I like mine in the shade pink. It's a baked powder and it has a little bit of luminosity to it, so if you're not wanting like a drying look under the eyes, this is a very finely milled under eye powder that looks fabulous. This is a really nice one if you're wanting a little bit of powder but you don't want to go in with a full-on setting powder."

"I've mentioned this before on my channel, it's like my favorite eye cream, one of my favorites. I have a couple, I'm not going to lie, but this is one that I really do see a difference around my eye area. I actually discovered this through a girl on TikTok who said it was the best eye cream she'd ever used. I bought it and I agree with her. It's really, really good. This is actually a very pricey eye cream. It's a little bit insane how expensive this is. So it normally retails for $92, but 50% off it's going to be $46. I honestly will probably buy another one because I love it so much. If you've been eyeing this, if you've heard about it, if you've been wanting this, or if you're looking for a really good eye cream, I highly recommend checking this one out."

The Best Beauty Products of 2024 So Far (Here's Why)
"I love skincare but eye creams I feel like a lot of them feel very similar or I don't notice a huge difference when using them. This eye cream though, like I've already noticed a difference which is kind of wild. It's the Clarins Total Eye Lift Eye Cream. This has been stuck in my routine. I literally haven't stopped using this since the beginning of the month. It's been my morning and nighttime eye cream and I am obsessed. I really feel like it does such a good job at just reducing any fine lines around my eyes. I really haven't noticed an eye cream to do that. I do feel like my eye area feels more plump and more hydrated and also depuffs in the morning. It's just a really really nice formula and texture that I can't get enough of and I've honestly noticed a huge difference. It was pricey but honestly I'm glad that I picked it up and I haven't put it down. I really feel like I'm going to go through this entire thing which says something because I'm always trying new skincare products and when it comes to eye cream like I already have my few favorites and so the fact that this has taken the cake and literally replaced my eye creams morning and night, it's insane. It's so good."

"I really do love the formula. It's just such a nice lightweight brightening glowy type of a product and you'll see how pretty it looks under the eyes. It doesn't look makeupy at all. You could honestly just stop here and not even go into concealer if this offers the coverage that you're looking for. By itself is gorgeous."
Can I do it?! Trying Selena's Makeup from the VMAs..
"I love this product it looks so nice underneath the eyes."
"The packaging is what initially caught my eye. You twist the bottom cap and press down the button, and you only need a couple of pumps. It is the most beautiful glowy serum. It makes my skin look so healthy. It's wonderful for those mornings when you wake up and feel like you didn't sleep enough or didn't drink enough water and your skin just looks dull; this virtually revives that. I noticed a pattern: I would wake up, use the serum, do my skincare, and before I put makeup on I'd look in our big kitchen mirror and think, 'Wow, my skin looks really nice.' I figured out that every time I wore this in the morning, that's when I thought that about myself. It has milk protein extract, hydrolyzed collagen, and elastin, and my skin seems to really love it. I mostly love it for the effect it gives. It just makes the skin look incredible."
"It has peptides, it has ceramides, it's supposed to give you visibly firmer, lifted, and smoother skin, and I swear my skin's loving whatever is happening here. This is like the first step and this is like the last step unless I'm using a face oil at night. Obsessed, love these so much."
"I'm floored by the OneSkin OS-01 body supplement. It's an investment and packed with peptides, meant to tackle crepiness and repair the skin. Postpartum my stomach skin felt crepey, and even though they say wait six weeks, in the first few uses my skin already felt more bouncy and the crepiness was disappearing. I keep seeing results so I'm not going to stop."

"This is their body topical supplement and this is like a very intensely active packed body treatment which is so hard to find. I wanted something that would actually be effective and not just be hydrating. I wanted something to actually repair my skin, but nothing was formulated for the body. I started using this pretty consistently. It's been a couple of weeks now, few three weeks maybe. And after like the first couple of days, the crepiness was noticeably different and noticeably better. And I've consistently used it every single day since. And I am so happy with like the visible results I'm already seeing."

I finally wanted to smell this perfume that everyone had been talking about last year, and I cannot believe how delicious it smells. The name at first, I thought I wouldn't like it because sometimes I don't like to smell like a baked good. I love a good vanilla, I love a good spice in my perfume, but I didn't want to smell too baked. This perfume smells so fresh and sophisticated and luxurious, and I love it so much.

"Chanel No. 5 is actually one of the closest perfumes according to my research. It has stayed the most similar to when it first launched. I think this smells so good. When I first smelled this back in the day when I was younger, I didn't like it. I feel like my taste was different at the time. Now that I'm in my 30s, this feels so classy to me and I really love it and I feel like I need to maybe one day treat myself to a bottle of No. 5 because I just feel like it's a right of passage almost to own Chanel No. 5."
"Shani Darden's retinol is my favorite right now. The Retinol Reform is incredible, it's so beautiful, it really really does the trick. It's very gentle but you notice amazing results. At least I did. If you've never tried a retinol you really should. I feel like that is an ingredient and a product that has made one of the biggest differences in my skin tone and texture just over the years. It has a very thin consistency so it really absorbs into the skin nicely. It's so good."

All 4 takes on Skin LED Light Therapy Mask Series 2
a few things that have brought me joy lately ❤️🩹
"It was pretty gloomy and snowy here, which really did a number on my mood, and I've just craved light, so something that really helped me was this CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask, the Series 2 mask. I've talked about this before, it's so fabulous, fits like a glove. I liked it, and I still love it, because it's so bright and I could just close my eyes and pretend I was on a beach somewhere. It was also nice because I don't personally like to multitask with an LED light mask on, so I felt like I was able to just take a break from everything and let my mind rest as much as possible. I really enjoyed that all over again. I'm still enjoying that, it's so great."
The Absolute BEST MAKEUP from September 2024 😍
"This is the CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask Series 2 and it is so good. I've always been a fan of LED light therapy and because I've been able to use it for over a month I can honestly say this is my favorite LED mask that I have tried. It's so innovative even down to the shape and the materials. If you've seen most LED masks they're very flat and it kind of isn't the most comfortable thing on the face, but this has a gorgeous soft silicone shape and it actually has a panel underneath the chin that has lights in it as well but it's already molded in a more circular way so it is the most comfortable mask. There's the two straps on the side but it also comes with a strap for the top as well if you want a little extra support. Another really fabulous little detail that they thought of was to put a clip on the little power button right here because there's nothing worse than having your LED mask and needing to go walk around somewhere, and I would always just stuff this in my shirt or try to fit it in the elastic of my pants and it would always fall and unplug, but this has a nice little clip."
