@Ai Sian not all "high-end" products cost hundreds of dollars, especially if you're a smart shopper! I like watching videos on both high-end and drugstore products because at the end of the day knowledge is power. You get to know your preferences watching videos on high end makeup since they normally start with the new formulations, and then you can watch drugstore videos to know if there's an affordable option. Also, sometimes, it's better to get a bunch of samples and then get a "high-end" product on sale/discount, rather than being unable to test anything from the drugstore and thus inadvertently having to buy unsuitable products. For me personally, I have dry, sensitive (and acne-prone) skin in a medium shade (with an olive undertone), so it's much harder to get good foundation products. So if I get an Armani cushion foundation for $40-70 (depending on the sales), have that work for me for a year daily and then be confident in my makeup, rather than drugstore formulas that emphasise my texture or make me break out, I'll take it. Even at its highest price point ($70), that means I'll have spent $6 on foundation in a month, without having to deal with breakouts, or buying something else to make the foundation work (e.g. darkening/lightening drops), or another foundation entirely. At the lowest price point mentioned ($40), it'll cost me $3.5/month. Personally I'd be happy with a Korean cushion foundation or BB cream at an affordable price, but most brands' darkest shade is too light for me. However, I won't be spending more than $5 on mascara ever, not only because the drugstore formulations are great if not better, and my skin doesn't have a problem with it, but also because you have to use them up/throw them in 3-6 months. Also, makeup is highly subjective, and while I understand the sentiment of not wanting to spend a fortune on makeup (and concur), I know a lot of non-beauty-guru people who do have an extensive makeup collection, a lot of it high-end. It makes them happy, and it's their money (and as long as they're not neglecting their basic necessities), who are we to stop them right? So in that regard, I don't think the title is misleading.
Living in a country where a lot of brands aren't available I actually really appreciate it when youtubers "cheat" in tags. That way it's easier to find an alternative I can get!
Mariana, lots of articles are simply created for the companies to make money. You may mix beauty products in your kitchen to treat your skin. Black Mascara, one red and one rose lipstick, two eyeshadows and one concealer and some transparent powder got me through the most years of my life. This you should get in every country on this earth. Maybe you don't need anything at all due to your natural beauty. Nobody needs the contouring stuff. Watch Lisa Eldridge and Andreea Ali. They are makeup professionals and never use it. Contour Palettes were created for making money on useless products in makeup industry. They only came up five years ago. Same for highlighters on cheeks. Nobody needs that. Big business.
calling it before i watch the video: armani luminous silk, tom ford cream eyeshadow, suratt brow pomade EDIT: i bodied this. also, including five different eyebrow products in your holy grail is PEAK karima
I was sitting here thinking "at least two cushion products and the armani lumious silk". What I'm most surprised by is no Charlotte Tilbury lip pencil. Guess the Maybelline took that one.
This tag makes me laugh cause if you were actually not a guru, you’d either have a)random hit and miss products you bought in sale and IEP using whether you like them or not or b)you’d watch beauty RU-vid and own FAR more than this! 🤣 This is more like “if a beauty guru friend made you a capsule collection of the best of the best” Still 💯 here for the video though!
I’m that person with an ideal small collection because I give away stuff that didn’t work. I legit have one foundation, one conealor. I don’t have a primer, I have seen no benefit in using them but I have a corrector because my skin tone is prone to discoloration. I watch too much beauty youtube but never feel pressured to update. I legit have 8 year old eyeshadows, a five year old blush, 10 year old brushes.
My curated makeup collection would be Armani’s luminous silk foundation , Charlotte Tilbury powder and hee colour chameleon pencil , Anastasia’s matte lipstick in spice , Covergirl lash blast mascara , miliani luminouso blush , Chanel Pirate lipstick and urban decay all nighter setting spray
omg lately i have been binge watching your videos, missed you so much! you are my faaaaaavorite beauty makeup channel i swear. you have the cutest wit, best info best tips on quality, wonderful makeup products
This has been really fun to see what people would choose and yours was no exception Karima. We love the same awesome primer and I hardly ever see anyone talk about it! Primer: Benefit Porefressional Matte Gel - - Foundation: Koh Gen Do Aqua - - Concealer: Cle de Peau - - Setting Powder: Koh Gen Do Natural Lighting - - Bronzer: Hoola - - Blush: Hourglass - - Eyebrow: Mac pen and Kevyn Aucoin pencil - - Brow Gel: ABH clear - - Mascara: Benefit Roller Lash - - Eyeliner: Eyeco liquid and Marc Jacobs pencil - - Eyeshadow: Marc Jacobs Eye-Conic Palettes (Flamboyant and Extravagance) and Viseart Neutral Mattes Palette - - Lip Liner: Sisley - - Lipstick: Mac (Velvet Teddy), CT (Bond Girl), and Pat McGrath (Femme Bot) - - Lip Gloss: Tower 28, Marc Jacobs, and Hourglass
Your passion and precision when it comes to makeup reminds me a bit of Lisa Eldridge! Love you both! Also, where are your rings from? They're gorgeous!
I’ve thought a lot about my edited collection. I wouldn’t want to live by these rules but I do kind of miss the days I had a small amount of makeup. My eye collection would definitely include TF Platinum too; if I could have just one eye product that would be it. It’s so so flattering and makes me feel fab on casual and glam days.
I feel like a better title for this tag would be “if I stopped being a RU-vidr today, this would be my collection” as it seems the reason youtubers pick the products for this tag is because they had the opportunity to try them through RU-vid, not that they necessarily would have tried it on their own previously - if that makes any sense?
@@amandahorn4704 no i agree with you 100 percent and i also doubt their collections would be small like that since their passion is makeup whether theyre youtubers or not
First youtubers buy tons of makeup to build up their channel. Then the beauty companies send them cosmetics for free as advertisements. So most youtubers have to throw out most makeup as it expires before they have a chance to use it.
Was hoping you would do this tag!!!🤞🏽❤️ my curated makeup collection: hourglass primer, YSL touche éclat foundation, too faced concealer for face and glossier concealer for eyes, CT pressed powder , glossier cloud paint in dusk, Tarte blush palette, the balm mary lou manizer highlighter, Fenty powder bronzer, CT pillow talk quad, Chanel's nude and black eyeliner pencil, glossier lash slick mascara, Dior overcurl waterproof mascara, Dior eyebrow pencil, Milani eyeshadow base, fresh lip butter in coconut, Dior lip oil in rosewood, Dior lip glow balm in coral, Fenty lipgloss, No 7 lipliner in nude. I think that's it... is that it?Oh my, it's 3 am in Paris and I'm up and wondering way too much about my hypothetical curated makeup collection😅🙈
Sisley Compact Foundation (its not really a cushion, but a pseudo cushion) for everyday, Shiseido Synchro-Skin Foundation for long work days, Hourglass Primer and Setting Spray, Dior Forever Concealer, Hourglass ambient powder (dim for summer, diffused for winter, or maybe the trio), Gucci Pressed Powder, Hourglass loose powder, (honorable mention for Koh Gen Doh pressed powder, but I don't need it if I have gucci and hourglass), Westman Atelier Contour Stick, Hourglass blush quad (so much cheating, but I would just buy the holiday edit every winter), Holika Holika jelly blusher (any shade, its my favorite cream formula), Charlotte Tilbury liquid highlight, Hourglass powder highlight, Roen 11:11 eye quad, Natasha Denona Sunrise Palette (picking only one ND palette is hard, I would probably alternate between Gold and Sunrise as I panned shades), Pat McGrath rituatlistic rose quad, (honorable mention Hourglass Scattered Light pots), Hourglass mascara (either, honorable mention for thrive and marc jacobs, which I might rotate in when I finished an hourglass), Pat McGrath lipliner in red, Charlotte Tilbury in nude (is it the princess one, I cannot remember, the lighest), Charlotte Tilbury JK Magic lipstick, Fenty gloss bomb, Gucci Satin Odelie Red lipstick, Gucci Voile in Agatha Orange, Personal lipgloss in coral, Hourglass coral lipliner, (one nude lip with gloss, one red lip no gloss, one coral lip, honorable mention for Pat McGrath Blitztrance in pink with buff liner), Marc Jacobs bronzer in summer, Gucci bronzer in winter, hourglass brow gel, Givenchy Mr. groom brow gel, Urban Decay brow pen/pencil combo. Oh man, she's bougie.
I like Nars radiant long wear foundation and Fenty beauty foundation. For concealer I like maybelline age rewind. Loose powder I’d like Huda beauty baking powder. Mascara: benefit bad gal. Nude lipstick: Charlotte pillow talk. Setting spray: nyx matte setting spray. Brow products: nyx cake powder Blush: Mac blushbaby.
My special beauty hack for traveling with five products. Matte dark brown eyeshadow from Bobby brown is first product. Wet as an eyeliner using a fine brush. Put on as eyeshadow using brush or just finger. Using as brow pencil. Just brush little eyeshadow in using brow brush. Nobody needs brow products like wax to keep brows in place. Just cut them with your small scissors. 4 or 5 millimeters of brows are perfect lengths. Product two is concealer. Product three is mascara. No need to explain. Product four is transparent powder or some colour powder. Best is compact for traveling. Number five is lipstick in rosewood, I love it with shimmer. Works day and night and works as a blusher, too. These five products work between age 16 to 36. Then you may need some more things as ageing starts. Always think of avoiding direct sunlight. Sunglasses and a hat are highly recommended always. As well as some good sunlotion applied several times on a sunny day.
Flying for holidays only with a carry on luggage verifies all makeup choices 😃 MAC concealer palette and studio fix powder (almost used up, to be replaced soon by cruelty-free options), Ofra highlighter because I love the insane glow and my compact is a mix of 4 of their most popular colours so it works on the cheeks and also on the eyes, glowy bronzer (also for eyes and cheeks), a drugstore mascara because I replace it anyway every 3 months so I can’t justify paying for a high end one 😃 with me I also have a brush-tip eyeliner, tinted brow gel and a red lipstick (ColourPop Cozy ❤️). It’s been two weeks of using this small makeup selection and I already miss my eyeshadow palettes, blushes and more lip options, but I guess those are my summer essentials 🤣
Uh Karima I love the products you picked. All the elegant looks you could create with them :)... My collection would be: Primer: Hourglass vanish, becca Flpf and Hourglass eyeprimer Foundation: bareminerals original (always come back to it) and for textured days Mac face and body Concealer: Hourglass retouche fluide, Hourglass vanish concealer and my bareminerals original foundation when I dont have time Powder: Hourglass loose powder, too faced primed and poreless pressed Powder Bronzer: Hourglass nude bronze light, Fenty cream bronzer in butta biscuit, bareminerals warmth Blush: several Hourglass blushes (both formulas - I love them all), Mac Glow Play blush so natural, Ilia stick blush in all of me Finish Powder: Hourglass ethereal light, diffused light and dim light Eyes: scattered light in reflect, vivid and ray; ABH Sultry and soft glam Eyeliner: any bronze pencil - I like many formulas and a black/dark brown highliner from Marc Jacobs Eyebrows: Hourglass arch brow in auburn, benefit 24h brow setter, ABH brow wiz Setting Spray: Hourglass veil setting spray (long lasting, good mister, not drying) Highlighter: the LE Hourglass metalic strobe palette (I have 2 and hope they make it permanent!!) Mascara: loreal lash paradise primer and mascara in sandalwood and black. Hourglass caution for lower lashes (travel size) Lips: fenty glow gloss bomb, Loreal color riche plump in watermelon, lancome l'absolu lacquer in beige sensation and be happy, nyx Butter l gloss in praline, tiramisu and madeline, Hourglass confession lipstick in I've been, I am addicted My collection would be hourglass heavy XD. But that Charlotte tilbury HFF is still on my wants list..
Vania, watch Andreea Ali from Paris for the parisian chic. She is professional makeup artist on Paris fashion week. Love her videos and her Instagram. Her husband is a fotographer so you see pics of Paris, too. Watch Loic Prigent. His videos take you to another world. Paris fashion shows and all the glam. I watch that on my TV with my morning coffee and Pyjamas. Gives me inspiration to get ready during quarantine.
All right, here we go: MyChelle Sun Shield SPF 50 in Nude and Non-Tinted--technically skincare, but I use it as a skin tint base because it has such a lightweight texture and is formulated with a bit of bentonite I think, so it sits beautifully on oily skin (very sheer coverage, but I like that). Maybelline Fit Me concealer. Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand. Rouge Bunny Rouge Shadow Play. Pixi Sheer Cheek Gel. MAC Groundwork and Kiko Shadow Stick in Golden Brown (brilliant By Terry dupe). Benefit 24-hour Brow Set and some ashy pencil. Pixi Silky Eye Pen in Black Cocoa. MAC Extended Play Gigablack Lash. Charlotte Tilbury Very Victoria, Bite Beauty Molasses or Chai, MAC Vino + Rebel, one of the Bourjois Velvet The Lipstick reds, and Soap and Glory lip gloss in Plum's Up (avoid like the plague if you hate tingly glosses). A lot of these are Karima recs!
I have bought the Armani Cushion foundation and on working days, I use a little under the eyes as it is the only formula that does not split due to my sunscreen! Love it!! ♥️
Jung saem mool cushion!! Westman Atelier foundation as concelear, hourglass tubing mascara, nudestix 24k goddess as highlight, Nars high pigment Black eyeliner, Pat's bronze palette (6 pan one), viseart theory minx, Fenty cream bronzer in macchiato, ilia powder, a lifter gloss. Blush???? Still waiting for my true love blush 😉
Ever since I started watching you I noticed how you and I have many favorites in common so I went ahead and bought the Armani cushion foundation ! It’s is lighter than I expected I chose shade 2 btw thinking my silk luminous used to be 2.5 so that wouldn’t be very light 😂 it manageable though I found out that little goes a long way And that when you first apply it it doesn’t look great but once your skin soaks it in it’s great So thank you karima
Guerlain paure gold foundation, Mac prolongwear concealer, Coverfx liquid bronzer drops in sun kissed, Stila heaven’s hue kitten highlighter, Too faced peach loose powder
My capsule collection: Juno & co moonshine miracle cream for primer, urban decay stay naked for foundation, Becca under eye corrector for concealer, Marc Jacobs mirage filter for setting and contour, milk makeup bronzer in baked for cream bronzer and the Vesca bronzer in kissed by santorini for powder bronzer, melt cosmetics stargazer for highlight, melt cosmetics honey thief and coverfx warm honey for blush, Patrick Ta tinted shaping wax for brows, essence lash princess for mascara, Colourpop honeydude for eyeliner, Natasha Denona Biba and colourpop wattles for eyeshadow. 🌸💜
I think I have also far too much make up but if I had to keep just a few I would keep my Erborian CC cream, my Guerlain naturel foundation, my Chanel beige powder, my Marc Jacobs Omega bronzer, my Dior pump n volume mascara, a few Coulourpop and ND eyeshadow palettes, a few colourpop supershock shadows, my Chanel eyebrow pencil and for the lipsticks ... well it's really hard :D ... but I would keep some Chanel allure velvet and Colourpop lip tint crayons, and a bunch of Charlotte Tilbury and Makeupforever lipliners ;)
My capsule collection would be : Face : Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation, Marc Jacobs O! Mega bronzer , Charlotte Tillbury Airbrush Flawless Finish powder , Pillow Talk blush and Hollywood Flawles filter highlighter. Eyes : Hourglass Veil eyeshadow primer (makes my nose pores dissapear too) , Sisley So Curl mascara, , Pat McGrath palettes ( i don't have 1 perfect pallette, i take the black from Mothership 2 as my eyeliner , crease color from 7, glitter from 5, duochrome from 8...) and Natasha Denona mini Nude ,mini Gold and Sunrise. I cheated but so did you :D Lips : Charlotte Tillbury Matte Revolution for everyday Very Victoria , Secret Salma ( i sometimes mix them) and Bond Girl , favorite red lipstick : Lisa Eldridge Velvet Jazz. Brows : Benefit 24 h Brow Setter and Precisley My Brow, i am still searching for a pen that has a cool soft black color. Except for lipsticks ...wich i have about 40 atm , and a few more eyeshadow palettes this is most of my collection right now. Unlike nailpolish, (i stoped counting after reaching 500) makeup expires so what i don't love, has to go .
for my capsule, I don’t wear much makeup esp now during quarantine, but my basics are glossier stretch concealer as foundation, marc jacobs remarcable as concealer, laura mercier loose setting powder, whatever greyge eyeshadow for brows, and chapstick (carmex usually!) oh yeah and lots of blush to make up for the fact that I don’t do my eye makeup much. I love rubbing my eyes a lot oops lol
Oh man, I’d chose like 2 skin, cheek and eye products, and then as many lipsticks as I can get away with. Favs include the Dior lacquer stick in dark flower, various shades of the peripera airy ink velvet, Lisa Eldridge velvet fawn, CT Bond Girl, Love Liberty and Shanghai Nights, and this random red lipstick I bought in a dodgy corner store in Italy.
My legit minimal makeup collection is clear brow gel, concealer for blemishes and that's all I really need If I need a complete capsule makeup collection it would be: two shades of foundation (Dior Backstage, in particular 2wO - such a gorgeous olive shade and lighter one), two concealers (blemishes and undereyes), powder, contour (eyeshadow by inglot), warm dusty rose blush, light bronzer and rose gold highlight (MAC Soft and gentle), cream highlight (CT beauty light wand). For eyes - eye primer (MAC 24 hr), customized neutral palette (matte taupe, matte dark brown, chocolate shimmer, matte black), bronze cream eyeshadow, taupe cream eyeshadow, dark brown cream eyeshadow, sparkly top coat and sheer light pearly pigment (MAC Vanilla), duochrome foil pigment (Inglot has a lot of theese, my favourite is 22). Lashes - Mascara and cluster falsies. Brows - black eyeshadow from my neutral palette and clear brow gel, maybe an ashy brow pencil (Vivienne Sabo in 4, costs like 4 USD, but is more available in Eastern Europe. if you can find it - it is bomb). Lips - red matte lipstick (YSL tatouage couture line has amazing reds or MAC Ruby woo/Lady danger), bright pink (MAC all fired up or relentlessly red - theese look bomb with olive skin) lip balm and coral lip stain (Dior lip tatoo - double as a blush). Eyeliner - black and brown gel pencils (also Vivienne sabo). Liquid liner - black eyeshadow and some binder like Inglot. I think it's all
Pre-warning this is a very long comment😬 : Have you tried Lancôme Sourcils Brow Styler in Transparent? I'm kind of anti-Benefit, I find their branding very "junior" which just doesn't appeal to me at all, and that Lancôme one if my absolute HG for brow setting. To me at least, I think it's just as good of a hold as Benefit (which I have tried and do agree that it's a good product) but I like the brush better on Lancôme because I have more control to manipulate my very stubborn brow hairs. And idk if you can get your hands on it in Aus but my favorite brow pencil is the Róen vowBrow pencil - I also like a very hard/stiff brow pencil. It's only available in 3 shades but somehow the medium works really well for me (natural dark brown hair but bleached out to silver). I have a few other pencils but I definitely reach for it the most and think I have my best brow days when I use that one so worth checking out if you can get it in Australia! Loved this video!!! As for the full face of favorites (and this is very hard for me as well); foundations would be Koh Gen Do Moisture Foundation & NARS Sheer Glow, concealers would be NARS Radiant Creamy (is it cheating if I need it in two shades though so I can color correct?) & UOMA Stay Woke (I also need 2 shades in this one to get the right shade lol I also have to cheat the system), and powder is hard because I haven't met 'the one' yet so I'll go with the one I've been using lately which is Ciaté Extraordinary Translucent Powder, cheeks for me would be Persona Cosmetics Caramel Blush, for bronzer (cheating cause this is hella old/discontinued but I still use it and freaking love it) Victoria Beckham x Esteé Lauder Bronzer in Saffron Sun, highlighters would have to agree on Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter and for my intense highlight I'd choose ColourPop Super Shock Cheek Pearlized in Flexitarian and for contour Westman Atelier Face Trace Contour Stick in Biscuit. I only use the two previously mentioned products in my brows so I don't need anything else there. For eyes/eyeshadow I love Natasha Denone and PMG so this was HARD but I'd choose PMG Divine Rose I, PMG Blitz Astral Quad in Ritualistic Rose (pairs nicely with the other palette), Nudestix Magnetic Luminous Eye Pencil in Nudity (I use this one so much when I don't know what to do with my eyes), I use the Nudestix Magnetic Matte Eye Pencil in Night for black liner (on an angled liner brush and if the texture is too dry I thin it out with some Duraline), for mascara I'd go super bougie and choose Sisley So Intense Mascara and because that's only 4 I'd also choose a super volumizing one and that'd have to be Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir (or maybe It Cosmetics Superhero but shhhhh). Lips is also super hard because I have so many lip products but for liner I'd have to choose Marc Jacobs Poutliner in Nudeist because it makes my lips look so juicy and plum and for lip color products I'd choose Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution in Miss Kensington, Lisa Eldridge Velvet Beauty for a pink & Velvet Ribbon for my red and for a gloss my current favorite is Fenty Beauty FU$$Y. THIS WAS SO HARD OMG sorry for the longest comment ever 🙈
You're so right about the existential crisis! I was thinking of doing this tag too and fell into a rabbit hole of considering which is something I would've gravitated naturally WITHOUT knowing about it from youtube or specially looking for it in my country. What would be my aesthetic if I didn't know all of those possibilities existed, and would I still be willing to spend so much money on makeup? I want to make a chill video but my brain says 'philosophical thesis on aesthetics and preferences modeled by our environment!'
I think I would have Primer - cover FX blurring and touch in sol no poreblem, laneige glowy skin Foundation - revlon candid glow for medium coverage and nyx bare with me tinted veil for light coverage Concealer - Dior forever skin or joeur concealer Powder - cover FX perfect setting or wet n wild photo focus when I'm lazy Blush - Burt's bees shy pink or toasted cinnamon or Milani sunset passione Bronzer - physicians formula deep bronze and Marc Jacobs tantastic Highlight - Pixi gossamer duos and artist couture summer haze Setting spray - Fenty or cover FX dewy Mascara - any Korea/Japanese tubing mascara Brows- limecrime brow creme Eyeshadow - singles and bodyography toppers, jcat prismatic shadows, colourpop supershock in cheap date, Ritz, weenie, wattles, But who am I kidding I love having options 😂
I am so so happy to see you back :) I couldn't imagine myself without my beauty stash either, it's one of the only things that made me feel like a real human during quarantine. Wearing bright eye looks and red lipstick that I would never wear to work gave me a raison d'etre during WFH. You converted me on that cushion-- since I bought it all my other foundations are sitting unloved haha. I will fight you on PMG vs. ND tho, I just think PMG is so much more special/dynamic and when it comes to spending $$ that is what I am looking for these days. Such a great video, hope you are staying well amidst all of this craziness!
My collection would be Primer: MAC Skin Base Visage Foundation: Armani Luminous Silk Concealer: NARS Creamy Radiant Blush: Benefit Gold Rush Contour: KVD Shade and Light Palette Powder: Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Lipliner: Patrick Ta She’s Bold Nude Lip: Charlotte Tilbury Kim KW Red Lip: YSL Nr. 23 Mystery Orange Bronzer: Benefit Hoola Lite Brows: Benefit 24hr Brow Setter and ABH Brow Pomade Highlighter: TheBalm Mary Lou Manizer
Loved this video! I often find myself wondering what I would do if I had to reduce my (already limited) makeup to just five options for the whole face. I'd probably skip foundation, take my Maybelline Fit Me concealer, a kohl stick, mascara, this one red Colourbar lipstick (it applies sheer and is very buildable) and a brow pen :D
Couldn't believe that CT's B*tch Perfect wasn't one of your peachy lip colour choices! 😱😂😄😁☺️😊 (Though so hard to pick, I know 🙈🙈) And what a good reminder about Tom Ford cream shadow too - my goodness I couldn't believe that was just one shadow on your lids! 😍😍😍 Definitely been eyeing off the Star Palette for some years now (if most of my other shadows "expire" then that would justify the price tag, right? 😅😅 Just for one hero eyeshadow product in my collection? 😅😅😅) hehe thank you for helping me justify my future choices 😂😂🤪🤪😄😁☺️😊💛💛
I've yet to find a holy grail foundation after Dr. G discontinued their daily safe bb cream. But my concealer is Nyx Born to Glow. It's a dryer formula and works well with whatever bb cream I'm trying. Mascara hands down is Essence Lash Princess. Brows are Nyx tinted brow gel in Espresso. Blush is Melt Cosmetics honey thief (very peachy/coral) with a blush topper of Physicians Formula Butter Blush in natural glow. Bronzer is also PF Butter Bronze in light, it's very warm but works with my undertones. Eyeshadow would probably be all the brown shades from Melt Cosmetics stacks or Naked Basics from UD. Eyeliner Melt Cosmetics Columbia, perfect brown for me. Highlighter is Flexitarian from Colourpop, doubles as an eye topper. For lips, my perfect nude is Colourpop ultra satin liquid lip in magic wand, my red is Outlaw by KVD beauty and my pop of color lip is Indie Flick by Nyx. Powder is elf hd in illumination. And I can't live without Catrice dewy setting spray.
I am embarrassed to admit that I knew you’d pick over half of these, the sneaky mention of the Kevyn Aucoin sensual skin really did it for me. This video is really forcing me to try out the flawless filter by Charlotte Tilbury! I see that you have shade 3 and now I’m questioning my shade selection! IF I was forced to condense my makeup down to a select few I think I’d have to do Lancome teint idole foundation, too faced born this way concealer - the sculpting one!, Charlotte tilbury airbrushed powder, ABH brow definer and soap brow, dose of colors baked browns eyeshadow palette, diorshow pump & volume mascara, ilia bronzer, Kevyn aucion sculpting powder, glossier cloud paint in dusk & puff, kaja highlighter in toy alien AND bare minerals lipstick in peony.. this was longer than expected!
You, my friend, are the real MVP 👏🏻 I guess I’m kinda predictable and loyal with my products 😅 PS I have deliberated on whether the get a lighter shade of the CT FF but I actually kind of like that it’s a little golden? 🧐
It was actually part of the SHARIMA jewellery collection that Sharon Farrell and I designed! I believe it’s no longer available although I will double check 😘😘😘 Thank you btw, I love our pieces so much! X
Hourglass / The Balm Blushes First Aid Beauty Concealer Lorac Pro 3 Eye Palette Colourpop shadow in Amaze Fenty Gloss Bomb/ Tower 28 glosses in Magic , Fire and Spicy Milk Lip and Cheek in Werk Several Charlotte Tilbury/ Lisa Eldridge lipsticks 💄💄💄
I love watching your videos because of voice and way of speaking... I just love it. To be honest, I actually stopped watching many youtubers that use high end make up as much as you - I respect that, but I can't afford that, and it makes me want to buy more, so I stopped. However, I still love listening you. I love your accent and how concise are you.
I don't have to pare down because this is pretty much my entire collection: FACE Dermalogica SPF primer Nars sheer glow foundation Bareminerals bare skin concealer Benefit cakeless concealer Laura Mercier translucent loose powder CHEEK Charlotte Tilbury cheek to chic blush Charlotte Tilbury film star bronze and glow Colourpop blush stix Clinique cheek pop blush Benefit hoola bronzer LIPS Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks in Very Victoria, Amazing Amal, Glowing Jen, Carina's Star, Red Hot Susan, JK Magic and In Love with Olivia Fenty gloss bomb in fussy EYES Urban Decay Born to Run palette ABH Sultry palette ABH Jackie Aina palette Tartelette original palette MAC singles in sumptuous olive and woodwinked MAC eye primer Eye of Horus liners in black and olive green Benefit roller lash mascara Benefit precisely my brow pencil (Yes, it's too many. Don't care! I love eyeshadow)
My curated makeup would have the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation, Hourglass mood exposure and dim infusion blushes, Marc Jacobs omega bronzer, chantecaille liquid bronzer cheek gelee, benefit for liquid blush. Charlotte tilbury eyes to mesmerise in Bette and one of her quads - golden goddess probably - for eyeshadow. Burts Bees tinted lip balm and NARS velvet matte in Valkyrie for lips. One skinny brow pencil no particular preference for brows. Haven’t found an outstanding highlight or mascara so not putting any in. P.S. in my dream decluttering disciplined self, I would get rid of everything else I have. Reality: gets rid of absolutely nothing 😂
Here would be my pared down makeup collection as of today (I'll probably end up changing my mind tomorrow 🤪): YSL Touche Eclat blur primer MUFE HD Foundation Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion foundation (for days I want higher coverage and a matte finish) NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Powder CT Hollywood Flawless Filter as highlight/primer/low coverage makeup day product (we love a multitasker) Kevyn Aucoin Medium Sculpting Powder Stila cream blush (can't remember the name unfortunately...) Smashbox eye primer (or possibly Anastasia) Custom Sugarpill eyeshadow palette Chanel eyeshadow quad in Tisse Rivoli CT Eyes to Mesmerize in Marie Antoinette Tarteist Pro eyeshadow palette EYELASH CURLERS Mascara (I don't have a holy grail) Benefit Goof Proof brow pencil I think I'd probably forgo a brow gel 😬 CT lipstick in Penelope Pink MAC Diva lipstick MAC Hot Tahiti (such a beautiful, underrated lip color!!) Clarins Lip Comfort Oil MAC Russian Red YIKES - sorry it's so long 😬 please reply letting me know what you think! 🤗
Hi Karima! Love your channel! Would you be able to suggest some good cushion foundations available in the US? Both your favorites: the armani and ysl are not available here in the US!
Loved this. Just wondering would you buy shades 4 and 6 in the luminous silk foundation to mix the shades or? I tend to always be the same shade as you in base products so I was wondering if I should buy shade 4 or shades 4 and 6 to mix? Shade 4 in the cushion. Is a good match for me. 💕
I loved all of this 💜. My capsule collection would be...Foundation Make Up Forever ultra HD; powder Laura Mercier; blush Laura Geller baked in rose berry (I’m not even sure they still make this, tbh, mine is old 😬); mascara Thrive Liquid Lash Extensions; liner KVD Tattoo Liner; brows Benefit Precisely my Brows in gray; concealer can we please for the love of god bring back Urban Decay Naked Skin??? Lips KVD xo Vinyl Lip Cream in Dahlia; highlighter Maybelline Master Chrome (the NikkieTutorials shade). I still don’t have a shadow palette I can’t live without but the Colourpop Truly, Madly, Deeply palette is getting a lot of use these days.
The thing about this tag is people assume just because you're not a 'beauty guru', you will not have more than one of each category. Us non-youtubers love variation too! Like I have a foundation for special events, I also have something with lighter coverage for more 'casual' occasions, and same goes for my blushes & so forth. I don't see it as 'cheating', it's more realistic! ❤️
Hi karima, you look stunning as always. Love your video and and your makeup. May I ask how did you apply that Tom Ford cream eyeshadow on your lids? What brush did you use?
Of course you would make me fall in love with that RIDICULOUSLY priced Natasha Denona palette 😆 How dare you have such elegant, beautiful taste! HOW DARE! 😂
Hmm if I had to curate my already “normal person” collection into an actual minimal one full of only the staples I’d get use out of lol it would probably be: Nars NRLW foundation, E.L.F hydro 16 hr camo concealer, MUFE banana setting powder for strategic settings, Mac Fix+ regular, ABH Soft Glam or Jackie Aina palette (who can really have just one??), these Essence single shadow toppers, Essence Lash Princess Mascara, E.L.F primer-infused blush (the rosy one), Maybelline City Bronzer 200, WnW Megaglo highlighter in precious petals and Milani lipsticks in Teddy Bare and Pretty Natural. Did I miss anything lol? Oh Becca undereye brightening corrector for them dark circles, Essence brow pencils (the kind you sharpen), and NYX lip liners in Whipped Caviar and Soft Brown. Overall, glowy, blushing, natural with coverage, with rosy or brown tones and either smokey, neutral or jewel tone eyes.
Hahaha Woods is my husbands middle name... The issue with oiliness is your insulin levels. When they spike your skin will produce more oil. It’s a protection mechanism. Higher levels of insulin means lower levels of healing. So we produced a higher amount of oils to protect the skin. Watch those carbs, and refined foods.
Unfortunately I have not yet found a makeup product, besides lip balm (Glossier Balm Dot Com), that I wouldn't replace as soon as I found something that worked better for me. I have a difficult skin type and tone so I am still out here trying. I would love to see a video on any trends you have tried, new product technology or looks that you have come up with. Everybody stay safe. Love from the States!
Hi Karima, have you thought about that maybe your skin is getting irritated by the alcohol which is the second ingredient in the Armany foundation? The same happened to me but 10 years ago. Since then ,my skin gets super oily in like an hour if a foundation contains alcohol (I got normal/combination skin), that's why I can't wear any Armani foundation :( which is a shame as they look really nice on the skin. Love all your videos :)
