Ok Kakie. I need you to lead the charge on this. As a fellow natural highlight person who has been in desperate search of a non-glittery highlight formula, can you please do a video of the best dewy/natural lit from within highlight cream/liquid/stick/etc? Specifically ones that do NOT pick up foundation? I want to try Westman Atelier but so many reviews say that it moves base products around.
Yes, please. I hate glitter in a highlight. I’m forty seven and, although I don’t have alot of texture, I would rather not emphasise what texture I do have! 😊
Yes! But I want receipts to the non glitter, mica, synthetic flourehooha! I need to see sheer swatches on skin in low light with your cell flashlight moving around… this is how I test everything out of the box!
Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by the ciate highlight stick! It's a very natural dewy highlight with NO glitter at all. Goes on totally clear and stays vaseline-esque dewy all day
Yes, yes, yes…..these are the exact type of highlighters I dream about! I want glowy, wet, high-shine, luminosity. Most good creams that give this don’t mesh well with base products which creates even more of an issue….ugh!
Hi! 🌻 I have that Clio mascara, and I found that the best way to remove it is to take a cleansing oil/balm and keep massaging (english isn't my native language, so I'm not even sure if this is a real word, but it feels right in this context 😂) your lashes until everything comes off. Yes, it's time consuming, but I like the overall effect of that mascara, so I don't mind putting an extra effort.. You can give it a try if it doesn't sound like too much of a hustle. 😬 Great review, btw! 🤍
Well done, yes, massage is correct in this context! It is also the word for a professional rubbing and kneading the body for pain relief, but that rubbing motion is called "massage" in many contexts. Your English is better than the average English-speaking American, by the way! And lol, i have to remove every single mascara or eyeliner this way. I have double lashes (stick straight so no one can see them) and product gets caught, no matter what formula. I mostly just use mineral oil, which is the "miracle" ingredient in many effective cleansing balms. Ironically, a lot of eye makeup remover is just mineral oil, so I think cleansing balms are actually less effective than the thing they are "improving on." Once baby oil goes viral for removing mascara, I have a feeling cleansing balms won't last, they are a more expensive and less useful product, lol.
Meanwhile I am obsessed with the milk makeup contour sticks, or anything grey toned because all other bronzers look beyond orange on me and grey bronzers are the only ones that look like actual bronzer on me. I don't know the science but it works lolol
The original Byredo quints and larger pallets were created under Ffrench. This new palette was created by Ben Gorham (founder) and Lucia Pica (formally of Chanel).
So I am someone who has been able to apply the milk makeup sculpt cream contour stick successfully. I am as pale as HLP. I use the colour toasted. I swipe it on my hand then pick up that product on my BK Beauty 109 brush and dibby dab it on my face. Something with this method sheers it out and turns it into a beautiful contour. I do this method with all my cream contours though to sheer them out.
I’m new to your channel but absolutely LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! You talk fast ,straight and to the point. Love it 👏👏👏👏👏stay safe , well and happy. Thanks 👍🏻👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🤗👍🏻
i find the milk contour in toasted pretty flattering and i assume other missha bb cream shade 21 ppl would/do too. i use contour as/in place of bronzer (as they all look like mud on me - although those new phytosurgence bronzers look promising, hope rosy daybreak is restocked soon), so i don't want it to be barely visible, i use it the way you use bronzer (as in as heavily, and in the same areas of the face). I tend to wear muted mauve blushes and it blends nicely with them, on me. perhaps its just not flattering on your rather warm skin.
I enjoyed the Mario foundation, but I agree that it lacked lasting power. Of course, I love the extra dewy-look! Great video! I am loving the mid year round ups!
You need a cleansing balm to wash the Korean mascara off. Banilla works very well or the beauty of joseon for cruelty free. You massage it on and it completely washes off with no oily residue. I love those mascaras! The kissme heroine one is my favorite.
Me toooooo! The staying power and the stiff drydown is my favourite part of most Asian mascaras! I can't fathom the idea about worrying about droopy lashes that smudge and smear around all day! A little elbow grease to remove at the end of the day is well worth it in my opinion!
I have that milk sculpt stick in toasted (I have light olive/golden skin) and I found it works best with a less dense brush! The denser brushes I used moved it around and it looked patchy but a tapered fluffy brush intended for highlighter diffuses it much more smoothly. Probably won’t repurchase though!
I got talked to the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood flawless filter (as a foundation of all things) when I had the best skin of my life (filler, Botox, facials, microneedling, 0 drinking) and it looked great but my god a month later it made my skin look caked and like a spry 70 year old at bingo night. I got a wild hair and tried it this past weekend and made it from my vanity to the bathroom to wash it off. I couldn’t nail what it was about it till you talked about the elf dupe.
The shade Soft Bronze in the Tarte sculpting wand is actually cool toned! Idk who's bright idea it was to make the shade Cool Bronze warm . . . But yeah lol Soft Bronze is much better. I actually find myself reaching for that one more than my CT one lately.
The same thing happened to my Kosas pressed powder mini. Gently snapping the lid closed made it break in half the first day I owned it. So sad about it still.
I needed this video. I have covid and thought I would be playing makeup in my isolation. God no, I can't stand up that long. But I do keep finding myself on shopping sites looking at things I do not need, so this video is perfect!
Me over here just absolutely jazzed about applying 8 coats of Korean mascara that dries like CEMENT, glad that it doesn't wash off at the end of the day so I don't have to face my sad straight white blond zombie eyelashes in the morning. 🤣🤣🤣
I am a die hard remembrance palette fan! I always wear eyeshadow primer or concealer and have no problems with it lasting all day. To each their own! Love all that you do -
Auric Glowlust does not have glitter!! Sam Ravndahl created it because she thought Charlotte Tilbury highlight/primer stuff was too metallic, and it's Pearlized. It's so pretty- as a highlight - it makes my skin look like skin.
How do you mess up a gloss with infused honey? If it smelled like honeysuckle that “might” be understandable. I love honey + propolis in a formula. I would adore a clear gloss video. ✨ Thanks for sharing! ✨
Kackie, am I crazy, or do we need to be factoring in brow density & skin tone when choosing brow products? My brows have actual lift, so I've realized that my brow mascara goes on the hairs, but if I fill in a bald spot, I've got to draw on the skin under the brows with a brow pencil, and I'm not replicating the brow hair, I'm replicating its shadow on my skin, which is a bit different from the brow color. I'm not sure what to do with this awareness tho, but it's very hard for me to find the right brow pencils. I'm starting to realize that lifted brows are more unusual among women, it seems like there maybe is a whole different technique for us with wiry, long brows?
Odile Monod is also a good resource for korean luxury brands. She's an expert in explaining the marketing and technology behind the products since she's been working there for many years now.
I like to mix a dot of the elf halo glow with a primer like the smashbox primerizer thats how I ware it under makeup. I am so mad about the Mario ethereal eyes pallet , I waited for a review and missed it 😭and who knew it was actually limited that's what they say to get everyone to buy it and they are never really limited or at least you have longer then 5 mins to get it. The Nars liquid blush was a fail !!!! For me it didn't show up and what did was gone in 5 mins, the phormula was nice but needs pigment.
The lightest shade of the ELF contour wand is the same. The shade/tone is great but pigment is TOO much. It looks like mud no matter how I try and use it.
Haha I've used the clio mascara in the long formula for years. I use an oil cleanser ( the kose speedy one or purito green) to remove it and it comes off well but you have to work it in for like 30 seconds to get the mascara to release its 'grip'. Its a bit of effort so i dont reccomend it unless you're like me and need a mascara that will stay on while you furiously sweat
I have the lightest shade of the Elf Halo dupe and I'm typically a shade or two darker than you are. I find it really pretty for days when I'm not doing full makeup. It's really pretty around my eyes to brighten and tops of cheekbones. But the darker shades are crazy and orange. That Kosas reminds me of the Huda glowish which was also terrible and that Pixi was an absolutely pointless product.
haha I have that milk contour shade and applying it directly to the face does indeed result in immediate regret. but the shade itself works for me, applied with a brush. I am about a half-shade deeper than you, with more golden/olive leaning neutral undertones. my only issue with it is that it seems to set very quickly on my skin so if I don't work quickly it can definitely be a little patchy
Heya…This is for you or regular viewers who might be able to help…new to the channel and enjoying it! Would love to know about lip filler/augmentation. A few videos back you mentioned “having them done” so I looked back to older videos to see if there was somewhere you talked more about your journey but can’t see anything specific to the subject. You likely mention it in a Q&A video somewhere but I can’t find it. 😅🙏
I LOVE the quality of the Byredo palette. On my eyes they stay put all day and surely not any worse than Chanel or TF (can't judge on LE though). I consider 110 Swiss Francs not pricey for 18! Colors compared to a CHF 95 Tom Ford quad with 3 out 4 being similar and blending into each other colors.
Yes...finally someone agrees with me about Flawless Filter and its cheap ELF dupe. Not for me either. And any makeup that's a stuggle to get off - put a gob of vaseline and rub it in or let it sit for about half a minute. It dissolves everything, and won't irritate your eyes.
The only thing I disagree with you about (yes we are all entitled to opinions - ha!) is the Pixi. I use it on those days when I have little expectation that it will function as a true bronzer. I use it only on those days (like now) when I have a mattified sunscreen on and I just want something on my face. The Pixi blush in the darker color is pretty good. It melts into the sunscreen quickly, but again, it's just beyond bare and sometimes I'm good with that.
I have the shade Cool Bronze as well and it's actually pretty warm . . . It's definitely a bronzer as opposed to a contour. I'm guessing that's the one she has. The shade Soft Bronze is actually cool, and a much better contour. Idk why they wouldn't make Cool Bronze, cool toned, but they didn't lol but yeah, Soft Bronze is more of a contour.
Oh my god thank you with your comment about ELF Halo Glow and Hollywood Flawless Filter. Those products are simply not good. Ever since these came out it seemed like every reviewer raves about them. Even the ones who tend to wear and enjoy the same types of products as me. But when I finally got my hands on the Flawless Filter I was pissed. It just looked like a greasy, shimmery not at all cute mess. 🤮
OMG and another one: I am almost hitting pan on my YSL Excessive Brown shade 😂😅🎉. Never mind. I l.o.v.e. this one and the other shade I deliberately ordered a YSL taupey shade in Japan 😅
I feel like what's happening with the RB highlighter is the same as the mini cloud set. I wanted to get it for travel but so many reviews are of it breaking.
oo35mm! Love them, never have enough time to go in person 😔 I highly recommend getting Isehan's dedicated mascara remover if you want to keep exploring the waterproof mascaras. Mitsuwa in Edgewater has them in store in a pinch ❤
