This is not a total turn off for me, but I always side-eye "clean" beauty. There's no legal definition for it, and the term mostly means that they don't use as many preservatives. I won't buy expensive "clean" products because they tend to go off really quickly.

@simplythebestgirl Год назад

Exactly! The fewer preservatives concerns me. The products can go bad faster. Not all preservatives are bad.

@demitri1011 Год назад

In fact because some clean beauty products claim to avoid some effective and perhaps safer preservatives, they actually use higher concentration for weaker ones. The tradeoff doesn't worth it

@caityjayde96 Год назад

A lot of brands also use "clean" to mean natural and promote it as being better for the skin, but sometimes natural ingredients are the ones that people are more likely to have allergic reactions to. For example, I can't use argan, avocado, or aloe vera, and I have to be careful about using rosemary, but they're all natural ingredients that are pretty commonly used in beauty products (to be fair, they can all have skincare benefits if you don't react to them). I can, however, use a bucketload of tea tree oil and be fine, even though it's a fairly common irritant for a lot of other people, and it is also a natural ingredient.

Red flag for me: not just huge palettes, but palettes with chaotic layouts (see: any of the ABH Norvina palettes, which are positively Lovecraftian). I need the colors to be presented in a sensible way; I want the color story to make sense. If there's nowhere for my eyes to rest I'll just move on.

@caithenry8429 Год назад

I've found that since branching out into Asian beauty, the "clean" no makeup/makeup brands with high price tags are red flags for me now because that look can easily be recreated with k- or j-beauty. So brands like Glossier, Tower28, or any lip focused brand I know I can get better, cheaper products off Yesstyle. Edit: same with skincare. No reason to shop on sephora for skincare, especially since some brands like Laneige and Dr Jart are far cheaper on yesstyle

The exceptions for the big palettes (for me) are the Bare Necessities or the Stone Cold Fox Palettes from Colourpop. Because if you buy one of those, you can pretty much dupe out all of the "new" releases that are neutrals. So it saves you from buying more in the future.

@alicine-sims8988 Год назад

Yeah fragrance is a BIG red flag for me, I have migraines and seizures and certain fragrances can put me in immense pain or even the hospital. I would love if they started telling you exactly what fragrances where in there. And just stop making everything scented, I remember a foundation I was interested in that was getting great reviews on RU-vid, but it was heavily scented so I never ended up trying it.

@joexulaje Год назад

My biggest red flag is when a high end brand tries to justify cheap cardboard packaging at premium prices under the "environmentaly friendly" banner. There are plenty of biodegradable plastic options out there that would provide a more sophisticated finish, plus they could always make refillable components if they actually cared about waste production. ZARA is a great example of this and their beauty items are certainly inexpensive

@Kayla_P99 Год назад

Especially if they add a mirror and make it more difficult to recycle

@emilyfriedlander3992 Год назад

I agree that brands should use more eco-friendly practices without significantly sacrificing user experience. I personally Ike cardboard packaging if its thick and sturdy but thats just me. Thought you might be interested to know that biodegradable plastics are better than regular plastic but still not that great. Unless in they're disposed of in their perfect environment, they can still take 100s of years to decompose. Its better than the 1000s that other plastics take but I side eye companies who rely on biodegradable plastics to give them a good image. If they're not changing anything else it just seems like greenwashing to me

@jklroxmysox111 Год назад

Even better than biodegradable plastic (because most of it isn’t *actually* biodegradable under average landfill conditions) would be to use glass. It’s weighted and luxurious and is usually fully recyclable. Even if it gets thrown away and ends up in a landfill, it won’t leech anything like plastic will.

@denisuuhdzz616 Год назад

omg ! I just bought a limited edition collection from nyx and they used carboard packaging on most of their products, maybe to save money on a collection that wasn't going to sell?

@@denisuuhdzz616 if it was the avatar one I have the theory the IP was excessively expensive and they had to use cardboard to offset the cost 😂 I think that’s been their most expensive collection so far, nearing Sephora prices. I feel plastic would increase the costs further making it hard to profit from them without a more semi-high-end price tag

@haveyoutakenyourmeds Год назад

You are so right about subscription box brands. One of the reasons I stopped glossy box was because I felt they were being misleading when they said the box was worth £60 but £40 of that was the Steve Laurant eyeshadow pallete that you can't actually buy anywhere.

@BeholdenProductions Год назад

I agree with “lock in place” products, especially as those 89-hour lasting, super waterproof crazy glue level items are often loaded with PFAs and some of the worst ingredients for our skin and environment. On the other side of the scale, products advertised as “clean” or “natural” are also a red flag for me because those labels don’t mean anything and can be just as (if not more) irritating as botanicals are more complex than synthetic counterparts so “clean”/natural products are not necessarily safer, less irritating or “better”. It’s not like I never buy these products, but I don’t buy into them and I’m often buying them DESPITE those claims if that makes sense. Like I’ll read the ingredient deck and decide for myself.

@alexkasper5029 Год назад

I gotta say, I really admire your commitment to avoiding products with glitter and I think it was your video that really got me to be conscious of not buying shit with glitter!! Across the board, anything with glitter, I try to avoid now, bc it is something that is easy to cut out for the most part, something doable. I really love that you decided to draw that line and have stuck with it bc you also have shown a lot of non-glitter options for people who might also want to cut out glitter. Yes it is a small thing, and there are other ingredients that are also bad, but cutting out something you know you can avoid is a good thing!!

I think concealers that claim to be 100% creaseless are red flags. It depends way more on your skin than the formula. Some formulas are way better than others of course but if you have a ton of creases, the product is gonna crease. Also “shade matching” technology and “universal” tones for base products. No way are they gonna work for everyone!

@allisonmartinez1078 Год назад

For me, I think it's a neutral pallete, with a singular blue or purple (ex: the new nars pallete or the neon colourpop ones) I have the stigma that those colorful shadows aren't going to be good lol. Also when brands (on their own websites or sephora/ulta) don't have cheek/lip (or even eye) swatches and they have the arm swatches, which are most likely fake lol and at full pigmentation and not blended out I think these are more pet peeves but figured I should share anywaysss

@arielruby13 Год назад

its best if they dont try to blend it on the arm anyway. What i do think its deceptive is when they rub a finger 2435 times in the pan before applying in the arm. Most people put eyeshadow on with a brush and we pick up smaller amounts, so it does not look like that arm swatch at all

First time watching one of your videos and really loved your insight :) I don’t see many “beauty” RU-vidrs getting into actual ingredients so this was so refreshing to watch. Keep up the good work

I'm always excited to see when you post. Usually it's time for me to be zzz but luckily I can enjoy this before I should slumber

Red flag: people claiming something is a dupe when it just has the same/similar packaging.

@serenamoonxo Год назад

The only lip product I like by Colourpop are their actual bullet lipsticks, I have a LOT of them and they are all amazing! All the other ones I agree have NO interest in!

@teresamonroy6798 Год назад

Mood lipsticks have been around since the 70s I used them as a child in the 80s because they where very inexpensive

The color changing products huuuge red flag. Def on point with the hot pink observation. Also color adjusting complexion products… they will always be orange.

@bertkesurf Год назад

Aging myself here, but I remember color pH lip products being around in 1998! They were bullet lipstick shaped balms that came in green, orange, & yellow, and they supposedly adjusted to your perfect pink or berry. They are nothing new or innovative.

@audraadams4121 Год назад

I agree with most of the comments here about "clean" beauty. Also, I remember a big boom when foundation and mascara companies were hitting hard with super longwear claims like 24 to 48 hours of wear...like that's not good to keep makeup on for nearly two days lol. Also, we all know it's not capable of lasting and looking flawless for that long.

Honestly I given away majority of my boxycharm there's only a handful I kept. There'd just too much products that I don't really care for. It's honestly just better to buy that thing you want vs getting a million unnecessary things

Loved this video!!! Those brands only in subscription boxes, I’d always throw them in giveaway bin for family and friends. So not interested. 😂

@margaretnicholdesign Год назад

PH changing lipstick has been around FOREVER!!! I bought a green lipstick from Wet & Wild in 1995 that did this (I was in Jr high). And yes it was a HOT PINK STAIN.

@ky984 Год назад

to be honest, i love big eyeshadow palettes lol. im super indecisive so i love having a ton of options to choose from

@opal.ther0ck Год назад

A big big red flag is a pressed glitter in a eyeshadow palettes. I rather not infect the rest of the pallette.

@racheyrox724 Год назад

9:39 I think that different colors of sponges is helpful when you use them for different things. Like I don’t was to use the same sponge for foundation that I also use for Creme blushes/contour

@linacake5376 Год назад

This video idea is so cool. I really enjoyed it and am kinda with you at most of the points (especially the big palettes uff). Thank you for the video♡ I hope you have a wonderful day♡

@louisemorgan3994 Год назад

With me I feel like cream highlighters are better when you’re doing a no foundation natural look. I have oily skin too but it’s useful to help it look more intentional but I hate how it sits on foundation 🥰 just come across your channel and I love it

@brynb1325 Год назад

Great video concept! Love this

@lisat5666 Год назад

Colourpop lip colors always tend to be orange-y no matter how mauve or plummy they look online

@RoKer13 Год назад

? I’ve not had that issue lol

@naturallycam4695 Год назад

I enjoyed this so much!! I feel like our makeup preferences are so similar. Totally relate with ALL of these red flags!! Awesome video ❤

@Rose-hh7mk Год назад

It annoys me that "pH" makeup products claim that they adjust to your skin tone, when they really just blend into a beige colour. If a dark skinned person tries pH foundation, it's going to make them look grey or give a strange white cast.

@Mia-di3to Год назад

This is the first video I’ve seen from you, it showed up on my recommended. I don’t know if you’ll see this but I loved the way you described things in this video. Subscribed 🥰 glad I discovered you

@LakeGael Год назад

I bought that Colourpop palette, it's gorgeous and even though I kinda feel the same about the "repeats", but omfg its so pretty. And I love winter themed things, I'm a total sucker for winter themes and especially anything relating to snowflakes or the northern lights.

@amysmithssportsandmakeup1397 Год назад

Great video idea! I'm not into huge palettes, but that new cp one is really pretty. I won't buy bc I don't look good in blues, but I can admire it and enjoy looks I see people make with it!

@mecha5409 Год назад

Palettes with more then 12 shades immediately turn me skeptical. I have a few palettes that break this rule, but they are truly an exception

@danesmcganes9118 Год назад

I agree with everything except the subscription boxes. It's given me the opportunity to try products & colors that I would have never bought on my own. My favorite part is getting to try expensive skin care products. I didn't know there was a difference between lipstick, lip oil, lip gloss, etc. I didn't know you were supposed to put primer on your eyelids. I had never heard of warm or cool tones. Learning all of that lead me to watch makeup tutorials, which lead me to research various products, which lead me to knowing what type of makeup is worth investing in. Plus, when your life is devoted to taking care of other people, it's a nice little treat just for me!

@965musiclover Год назад

I agree subscription boxes helped me build my collection and realize what style of makeup I like

@mecha5409 Год назад

Sorry for the comment spam. The ONLY color changing product I ever actually liked was part of the Bésame Sleeping Beauty Collab. It was a blue lipstick that would change to pink on the lips. Which was super cute considering the theme. Other then that, meh. Also the lipstick queen green lipstick/blush always left a green cast and I will die on that hill. I know it’s not as popular as it used to be, especially among young people, but any product from a Makeup Counter is an immediate red flag 🚩 most of the products are old as hell (and overpriced) so please do not overspend on expired makeup Maybe someone can give me a good recommendation but any eyeliner that is retractable and not a pencil is a red flag. Besides being unhygienic for makeup artists, I find they usually work worse, and break more 🚩

@shadowhawk225 Год назад

So at first, what I thought you meant with beauty box sub brands were the ones created by those boxes like ipsy and their complex culture or when boxy charm had their own palette in a box. The product isn't necessarily bad buuuut they can assign any value they want to it. Is this really a $50 brush? No probably not but it looks great for the value of the box and it makes me side eye the brand and the box quite a bit

I saw a colourpop glowing lip stick on sale at ulta and I picked it up. it has made me want to venture into their lip glosses i personally have zero shame in admitting when I like a colourpop item I have never tried a luxury brand lip product so maybe if I venture into that side it will change how I view my CP glowing lip

@mz7576 Год назад

For me glowing lip and blotted lip are the best CP lip products. Of course I’ve only tried the lippie sticks and the bullet lipsticks which are both adequate. Definitely wanted to try their other lip products after liking them.

@ALT-vz3jn Год назад

Colourpop does have good lippies, I don’t know what she’s on but maybe she had a couple of bad experiences. Their So Glassy lip glosses are amazing, so is their Blotted lip and the Fresh Kiss lip lacquer. I’ve had a couple of their bullet lipsticks in the past and I liked those too, they’re just as good as the bigger brands.

@BistrosHouse 5 месяцев назад

I’m not a huge fan of colourpop’s lip products but I tried the glowing lip formula on a whim and wow! I love it! Wears beautifully, super comfortable. Not long wearing but I don’t mind that. Definitely worth giving a try imo!

@CicisTrialSizedLife Год назад

Your eyeshadow looks stunning in this video!

@fhuuraliulfr5756 Год назад

I loved this video! People forget (probably because they are younger, probably the GEN Z crowd) that a lot of the products that are going "viral" or considered "must haves" or "innovative" are literally products that have been around for years but some company decided to copy it and capitalize off of that. I think a lot of this has to do with the GEN Z obsession with the 90s-early 2000s fashion coming back, so you are gonna see Black Honey being the IT product, mood changing/color changing products, body glitter, hair glitter, MFBB looks etc. At the risk of sounding patronizing/old (LOL) I just think it's super novel to them because they didn't grow up during that time or were just getting to the age to appreciate it before it went out of style.

@DISCUSSTING Год назад

I personally think that the ONE argument for beauty blender's zillion colors/patterns of their sponges is for people who want a sponge to suit their personal tastes. A favorite color, your zodiac, a pretty pattern to match your bathroom, HOWEVER other than that I personally dont see any other justifiable reason

@CrystalLynnBeauty Год назад

I love this whole look! What lip color is that? Would love to see a tutorial on this one 😍

@Saradoc22 Год назад

Makeup red flag: cool tone contour!! The bronzed, glowy moon is more my style. I can’t do the chiseled face. I look weird!!

@emilyedwards4276 Год назад

Also, what is on your eyes in this video??! I love it!!!

@mleirracpatterson1637 Год назад

The ONLY colourpop lip products I’ve found that I like are the lip oils. Those are actually great in my opinion, but I’m on the hunt for other lip oils for sure!
