I definitely feel that way too. However, there are some high end products that I really love and I think are worth the price tag. I love Selena's rare beauty liquid blushes, the Dior nude glow highlight and Becca's liquid highlight. I reach for those products constantly because they look so skin like and beautiful.
Thanks so much for this--I was curious about literally all of these products because I love ELF! The blush looks so pretty on you! I love your idea of using the concealer in a darker shade as a bronzer too since I don't usually go for light coverage concealers. 💖
It only takes a tiny bit of putty primer the way I do it. I push tiny amounts into skin, instead of spreading (which makes it kinda disappear and not work well). With this technique I get amazing pore filling and smoothing over texture.
Elf has been killing it with their products!! Im definitely ordering the cream blush and want to also try the cleansing balm! I'm currently using the Farmacy cleansing balm!!
She applied the blush with her finger and she said, "uhhhhhhhh NO! NOPE!" 😂😂😂😂😂 Omg I love you! As soon as I seen you apply it with your finger and how intense it looked, I was like ooooohhhh boy, she is gonna hate that! 😂 *LOVE YOU ALWAYS!* 💙
Love that you did one eye without concealer! My under eyes crease like crazy if I have heavy/ too much products underneath so I try to put as little as possible
Using a cleansing balm or cleansing oil is SO much better for the skin than micellar water and def WAY better than make-up wipes! You use it remove make-up the you use your regular cleanser after to clean the skin, which is called double cleansing! It works way better than anything else too, you know you are actually removing all your makeup! But everyone that wears makeup should be double cleansing! I'm happy Elf came out with a new cleansing balm because I didn't really like the old one they had! It was more like a solidified oil! If I'm going to use an oil cleanser I prefer it to be liquid and come in a pump bottle! I think I'll always prefer an oil cleanser over a cleansing balm because it's just so much easier to pump it out but I love trying new things!
I felt the putty primer brush was actually a great marketing scheme to get consumers to buy the putty primer more often since if you use a brush, it's easier to get carried away scooping more as when you pat down, it'll feel like it's not enough. 😅 That side, I absolutely loved the brush size to dip into my cushion foundation and apply with that / blends concealer and those blushes beautifully too. Nifty lil brush ♥️
I just ordered a bunch of the putty blushes to test on my channel - it was so hard to choose which shades, I wanted them ALL!! can’t wait to see what you think ❤️👀
Elf is seriously killing it! They have taken over my collection. I love that putty brush for their putty blush actually as well as their Plus Glow Setting Spray, Dewy Coconut Setting Spray, Plus Matte Primer, Matte Putty Primer, Oil Control Serum, Putty Blushes, Jelly Moisturizer, $3 face duos. I could go on and on! I think that brush is necessary bc nails aren't hygienic imo. Beautiful!
I love your videos! Because skin tone is close to mine, I can kind of get an idea how makeup would look on me. Love your E.L.F. reviews because I primarily use that brand for my makeup. 💄❤️
I have always loved Elf products, but they have really upped their game these days! I just switched to their Holy Hydration Face Cream (unscented) and I noticed a difference in my skin after one use. It's interesting that I just purchased the Elf hydrating concealer in my foundation shade to get away from such light concealers.... I guess I don't understand why I would need a brightening product when I already have light concealers? As a bronzer, it's a win! I'm SO loving your Elf videos!!❤😍
Maybe it will build if you use a brush because a sponge always soaks products up- I never use a sponge unless I want to soak up product. I love cream products so I'm soo ready to try these products out. Especially blush😘 thanks for video
Those blushes are really pretty. That shade you are using really compliments you nicely, quite flattering to your skin tone. I usually use a “ cleansing Creme “, ( my Jergen’s all purpose Creme .. ) I literally rub that stuff into my skin for 2 minutes and take it off with a damp washcloth. I have dry sensitive and excema prone skin , it helps to use a cream product. Looks like I will be looking for some of these things.
I think your reviews & demos are awesome. And as a WOC, I really appreciate your attention to shade ranges ✌🏾😉. I don't need to, but I'm going to place an order 🤭😍
Thank you so much for always reviewing all makeup products.I have been waiting for the elf cream blush one. Definitely going to purchase. Im waiting on my elf haul now. I ordered the new palette and marshmallow blender and the face duos.Again thank you so much.
That cute little primer brush looks like it'll be nice to use. I keep my fingernails really short so a spatula is something I really needed, and while I do enjoy using my hands to put on primer my skin is also pretty acne-prone, so depending on how it goes the blending end can either be for primer or powders.
I'm so glad you compared the elf blush to the Milani one. I just ordered the elf when they had free shipping and based on your description I think I made the right choice. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing and testing the Elf products, now I'm sold I want to buy all the the things you showed and tested! Have a wonderful day and stay safe. 🤗 👍🏼💕
I was just looking on the elf website and saw this blush and I was curious abt it and then I saw your video. Perfect timing!! Thanks for a great video as always. Btw I love your hair ☺️
I would have experienced the same with the highlighter sticks being a bronzer so I'm so glad you did that and the blush is beautiful looking in my opinion I love beautiful colors on the face lol I know what my next purchase is going to be now
I actually alternate between picking the elf putty primer up with my fingers or a brush or sponge. I do have long nails, but I don’t like the feeling of getting product under my nails and it’s not that sanitary.
I love Elf’s ideas of that brush. But if you don’t get you the Duo Makeup Spatula (Tool) It was RU-vid long time ago. That’s what I use from my Concealers, Foundations and Elf’s Putty Primers.
How did it look and blend on your bare skin? I personally don't wear foundation or any like that but I still wear blush and other makeup so I'd love to know! It's so hard to find anyone on YT that reviews makeup and doesn't wear foundation or any type of base coverage product! I always have to test everything out for myself because makeup looks SO different on bare skin! I still always watch RU-vid even though it really doesn't help me all that much! 😂
Great video. I like the Brightening concealers. What powder did you use to set your under eye? I really need a good setting powder that is Talc free. I have Dry, Acne prone skin & I'm about to turn 40.
Any suggestions? I love cream blush but always hesitate because they get real nasty real quick with all these little fibers and whatever else. How do you prevent this??
