✨NEW✨ Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Lift & Flex Hydrating Concealer in Shade 7. This shade is too light for my preference, but great for lightening. I’m going to pick up shades 8 & 9 for a better match. . I’m also loving my favorite summer skin tint combos. By themselves, they are often not pigmented enough to cover my rosacea so I cocktail the products. Chantecaille and Fenty Beauty are a lovely skin tint combo! . *Concealer Yummy Skin Lift & Flex Hydrating in Shade 7 @danessa_myricks *Hy-Glam Brightening & Hydrating Corrector C4 @natashadenona *Mineralscapes Eyeshadow palette @officialbyredo *Base Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 in Wheat @chantecaille + Eaze Drop Stick Blur & Smooth Tint Stick Foundation shade 13 @fentybeauty *Pearl Blush in Sky Flower @addictiontokyo.us *Shade Slick Classics Tinted Lip Oil in Taupe @merit *Beautiful Skin Sun-kisses Glow Cream Bronzer in Tan @charlottetilbury *SoftsSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer Medium @makeupbymario *Brow Sculptor Taupe @tomfordbeauty *Phyto-Kohl Star Waterproof Eyeliner 7 Mystic Blue @sisleyparisofficial *Autographique Liner Indigo Japonais Dark Blue @surratt
💛SUMMER!!!💛 Not gonna fight the heat, so I’m leaning into my summertime glowwwwww and cream bronzers. . 💛 My favorite cream bronzers are the @charlottetilbury beautiful skin sun-kissed cream bronzer and @makeupbymario SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer. . 💛 The @lisaeldridgemakeup Baume lipsticks are perfect for summer and I love to combine them. Here I’m using Épanoui (and I love to mix it with Red Curve sometimes). . 💛 One of my favorite summer eyeshadow quads is @tomfordbeauty Tropical Dusk. It is such a beautiful tan beauty friendly color-way that gives me sunset bronzy vibes 🌅! . 💛 Lastly, I’m not a highlighter gal, but OMG do NOT sleep on the @fentybeauty Demi’Glow Light Diffusing Highlighter. I’m using Yum Rum (soft rose gold) and these really do melt into my skin. They remind me so much of the OG Suqqu melting powder blush formula and they do not emphasize my texture. These are limited edition and I’m thinking of picking up 1-2 more shades before they disappear. I’m likely going to declutter my other highlighters bc of this formula bc it is that good. 😊 . 💛 What are some of your favorite Go-To summer makeup favs and formulas? Please share below! 👇🏽 💛 . #summermakeup #summertimemakeup #summermakeupglow
Hi, I just found your channel. I live in Issaquah so we're neighbors 😊I put some of my products in the refrigerator because I'm afraid the heat may ruin them. Great review!
Hey neighbor! Hope you staying cool in this heat. Issaquah is beautiful! Good idea keeping them in the fridge, though I think I have too much to put in there 🙂 Thank you for watching and commenting.
Thank you for another thorough review Miki, I love that blush on you, I don’t have anything like it in my collection color wise. Also, I think it’s fun to play with color! Can I ask you what mascara are you wearing in the video? I couldn’t stop staring at your eyes, it gives such a fanned out look it’s beautiful!
Yes, it the blush is a unique color! I love it for summer, bc it pops! The closest I have is a very old SUQQU blush. I'm using Chanel volume de mascara in Black. The only difference is that I curled my lashes with Surratt relevee lash curler which is THE best, used mascara before putting my eye makeup on, and I've been using lash serum which amazingly works for me. It's this lash serum: go.shopmy.us/p-6386445
I haven't experienced creasing. What I do notice is that between the three shades I got, there is a difference in opacity, so the violet looks the best bc it looks most pigmented, and then the bleu and green are not as pigmented, so when you run it across the mobile lid it can look patchy at times, versus the violet. I don't think these are super longwear (that's why I mentioned the Sisley sparkling liners in my review, bc they are a better shimmery liner with more opacity and longevity). I've been mostly using these as bottom liner, as a topper over matte shadows, or as a base that is tacky and buildable for a shimmer powder shade. Hope that helps!
Hi Miki! Thank you for the review! I'm trying to pick between 90s Pink and In Love With Olivia. Which shade do you prefer and would you choose if you had to pick brtween them? I already have Chic Pink, Glowing Jen and Pillow Talk Intense. Thank you!

✨JARDIN IMAGINAIRE✨CH*NEL collection releases July 15. Products now available at Chanel boutiques. . *Blush and Highlighter Duo in Blush and Berry (Limited Edition) *Stylo Ombre Et Contour Eyeshadow Liner **44 Nuage Bleu **46 Néon Dahlia **48 Dream Leaf . I passed on the coral and champagne blush duo for now, but may pick it up later after seeing others reviews. But this pink berry is unique to my collection as it is pigmented and has a light sheen to it. I’m excited to use the liners on their own, as a base for other Chanel eyeshadows and as an accent color! So fun! . What do you think of the collection? I love the color ways the new creative directors of Chanel Beauty are taking! #cometescollective are three makeup artists who have a fresh take on luxury makeup. . #chanelbeauty #chanelmakeup #chaneljardinimaginaire #chanelcometescollective #luxurymakeup

I love red plum, berry blushes. They are the only ones that look like a real flush on olive, tan skin. I love Nude Plum from Axiology, and Day N' Nite from Half Caked (this one is a but intense i have to be careful. Its hard to find colors that arent too dark in this spectrum though. Too bad influencers dont share red violet blushes regularly. They focus more on peach/terracota/coral (and sometimes rosewood) and ignore soft oranges, red violets, and coppers wich look beautiful on our skintone (for the most part).
I have come across some videos from your RU-vid channel, and I must say that you are doing an excellent job. Every video I watched was engaging and well-made. However, I noticed a lack of engagement in the form of likes and comments on your videos. There seem to be several issues that I have been trying to identify, such as SEO optimization, ranking tags, and tag volume. It appears that these aspects have not been properly addressed.

That Armani 09 eye tint is beautiful on you Miki and the whole look is so fresh and pretty for everyday. Eyeshadow is what got me first into makeup so I always love having something on my eyes. Thank you for getting ready with us. You look amazing as usual ❤
I enjoy the Sisley double tenseur as a skincare primer. I have oily skin and I love it. It doesn’t add any extra oil. It really acts like skincare that my face absorbs. With other primers I definitely feel like I’m adding a layer I can feel and see on my face. Not with Sisley though. When I’m having a flare up or redness on my face, I use this as my primer and it calms down my face.
Hi Miki...how did it wear during the day? I have the Dior cushion foundation and I do enjoy that one (though I could only find the neutral, and not warm shade, I can still make it work). Have never tried the Chantecaille.
It is very full coverage so in the video, my first try, I used way too much. It lasts!! It is almost a little too full coverage for my preference. It covers all the flaws. I would definitely go lighter next time. I don’t have the Dior cushion foundation. I have the Chantecaille and that one is lighter and less coverage. Tir Tir has a better shade range!
I got it and was amazed at the performance. I’m 70 and super duper oily. 😳 You need to use about a third of what you applied; the shades are more flexible that way. With my oiliness I will have to apply a bit of mattifying primer on my nostrils; the foundation held up all day except there where my oils began dissolving it (as usual, sigh). I’ll continue to enjoy this 👍
Thanks for the hot tip. Yes I used wayyyy too much. I saw other ppl’s videos after I filmed this and was like oopsy! I’m going to try a deeper shade and apply a lighter layer next time.
Love this video just found it….interested in these products even tho I’m behind the eight ball….this whole look is really beautiful on you…I love the green on your eyes…and very beautiful foundation ❤❤❤
Also this foundation in my opinion sits better when you use your fingers to warm it up. The lights shades were off as well, the light 10 was darker than the light 15 which was so obvious SO WEIRD !!
The Prada foundation in my opinion runs pretty light, I ended up getting MC45 which would normally be way to dark in many foundations. It’s pretty light so again maybe get a shade or even two darker.

Would you recommend to buy the ct contour wand or the bronzers? I think we have the same skin colour and I am really not sure what bronzer to buy.. medium? tan? or the contour wand? or maybe patrick ta duo? ( I have sensitive combo skin)
Thanks for watching the video. I didn't care for the Charlotte Tilbury contour wand, bc of the mechanism being a sponge (yuck for hygenic reasons), but some ppl love it. I also found it hard to blend into my skin. I like the Chanel bronzer better. This is the Chanel bronzer shade I recommend and use in the video : go.shopmy.us/p-5770556
