The freckle pen isn't your fault! I use lots of freckle products and that one is wayyyyy too opaque. I didn't like it either. One of my favorite freckle 'hacks' is using a eyeliner brush and dipping it into a more red-toned brown eyeshadow and stippling it on the face. The shadow is nice because you can kinda blend it away to look sheer without it turning grey.

@debralecuivre3366 Год назад

You should do more comparison videos like this. There are plenty of cheaper products that look as good or even better than "high end".

@sammistrade Год назад

“It’s fine. IT’S FINE!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 love you Jen. You’re def one of my fave RU-vidrs cuz you always keep it real and you’re never afraid to try new things :) we all learn together! It’s kinda frustrating sometimes when everyone’s a pro at everything online 😅 appreciate you 😚

@popcornphilosopher Год назад

It’s definitely the freckle product! I’ve never seen it go on that dark before. It practically looks like an eyeliner! But it also is kind of hard to do. It takes practice. And even then sometimes it just doesn’t come out right.Are used to practice when i was at home by myself

@cynthiafisher3392 Год назад

23:58 I am praying at this point that we get to hear the family’s reaction! 😂

@MephistoAngel Год назад

I love that you tried the freckles on camera, Jen! Omgosh girl it’s adorably normal! Heck it’s a lesson for us and that’s what this all about! Having fun! I love it! I bet Phoenix’s reaction was classic teen 😂 Happy Birthday!! ❤

@HebaNotMUA Год назад

I put foundation on my lips yes, but for a different reason. I feel like my lips don't have a sharp edge, so I conceal it with my foundation then I use a lip liner to create a new lip line 🤷‍♀😅

@j9email73 Год назад

I was a real freckle face til I was about 35...I even had freckles on my lips n ' lids! If I had to duplicate my freckles today it would take about two freckles pens!! I'm glad you found one that's affordable.😂 By the way, when my son was super little he used to call my freckles "Body flowers"...cute or what?! 😁🌻🌼🌷⚘️🌻⚘️ Love you Jen! 😘💕💝⚘️

@imaclover1428 Год назад

@montananerd8244 Год назад

My freckles didn't really fade, they just morphed into splotches lol...

@mariafrias2500 Год назад

Take me on a freckle journey with you, yay!!! Just don’t drag it. I’m eager to try soon. Try freckling the back of your hand, then after you find a satisfactory, natural looking pattern…sponge it up and apply to face so that your face is actually third application. It may look more natural

@amandaterrio4823 Год назад

I’m loving the play with the freckle pen. It was my exact experience!

@xErinxx Год назад

With inky brush tip freckle products like that one, I dab a few small spots on my fingertip and then apply it to my face with that. I never directly put it on my face because I find the same issue - the spots get too big and it’s hard to control the placement, saturation, etc. With my finger technique it looks just like my natural freckles! Hope that helps anyone who wants to use that kind of product

@RudiBerry Год назад

Jen! Hi, I’m Rudi (will also be on the next creators & friends trip) and I’m coming out with a freckle pen in July! I think you’ll love it 😂✍🏼🍓 truly it’s much easier than the ink brush tip

Happy birthday Jen! I use a lot of J Cat beauty. I own lots of their products. Their powder foundation and concealers are wonderful. I use the bronzer by Essence in cream light and it’s a amazing. I own almost all of the ELF mini eye shadow palettes and they are wonderful! You look so pretty! Enjoy your birthday and many more to come! Sending you a big BIRTHDAY HUG AND MUCH LOVE!🎂🥳💖🤗

@hollidanielgarnett1046 Год назад

i really LIKE the freckles on you! those are just one of the things you have to accept that some other people will find silly. you have to be silly and adorable sometimes!

@mauimanda04 Год назад

I , personally, like when people learn on camera. I know you've mentioned learned off camera but, learn on camera too! In real -time vs just explaining can create a better picture of why or why not to do something a certain way. A half face of do's and a half face of don't 's on video for comparison is SO helpful vs just describing verbally. I HATE matte liquid lipsticks but NYX used to have /has a liquid one in a tube with a puffer top on it, LOVED that one. Much less bung-hole lip and less dry for me. Always moisturized lips first help. 💜 Good video Jen. Love the top also. 💜

@traci222 Год назад

Awww.. This was fun. You make me laugh, Jen. I can't with those freckles! 😆 But I'm so glad you did them.. bc, tbh I've been dying to try the whole fake freckle thing even though I am 48 lol.. it's like you said, makeup is supposed to be fun.. and if it's not al PERFECT when you're done so what! It's not that big of a deal. Lol Also I have that halo glow high lighter, and I love it! It's so fun! I even use it on my eyes!

@staceyparron1685 Год назад

@aimeeb260 Год назад

@imaclover1428 Год назад

I love the essence concealer! It does enough for me that it’s fine for coverage. But it’s so comfortable to wear!! It’s definitely my summer concealer now.

@jenniferford2067 Год назад

I’m 43 and I put on fake freckles every time I do makeup. Which is maybe once a month. But I love them. My youngest daughter is a redhead and has lots of freckles so I always tell her I’m copying her. She’s 21 so she’s only sometimes flattered.

@barbaratanouye4524 Год назад

happy birthday...you look 16 with the freckles!

@priscillaharper65 Год назад

I never in a million years would have guessed you were 45. I always assumed you were around my age. I’m 31. You’ve taken such GREAT care of your skin Jen! My skin looks horrible. Lines and acne scars. I’ve got dry dry skin, I’ve heard dry skin ages faster.

@mariad.6618 Год назад

Happy Birthday Jen! I think it's great that you tried super affordable products but I'm really feeling like lately if you don't spend over $5 on a product, you won't get much that's great - there seems to be some kind of quality barrier for lack of a better term. 😊

@laurend7816 Год назад

So as some who is heavily freckled naturally, I think the color of the freckles pen is a little too dark and cool-toned. I say this as someone with a cool undertone, my freckles are a more reddish brown. If you can find a medium to dark auburn color, that might work best. Also, Happy Birthday!

@shannonhchase Год назад

Fun music and hearts with the eyeshadow application!

@arianaoconnell1324 Год назад

In regards to the essence bronzer: I’m suuuuuper fair and sometimes I use it to “blend” my regular bronzer into my skin tone. I don’t particularly love the product as a bronzer itself, but it works great as a blending tool when your actual bronzer is just a little too dark to blend seamlessly. 😊

@biogirl1381 Год назад

i reallllly love the freckles on you!!! you have BEAUTIFUL freckles to begin with, and i loved how you looked with the extra freckles. 🥰🥰🥰

@StormSongs7 Год назад

My Clinique foundation, Cover Girl concealer and a few other things bubble up a bit. I don’t know if it’s because I shake any every makeup product or what. Most of the time, it isn’t so much the product that leaks from the top but whatever they use as part of the ingredients…it usually looks like a clear liquid/oil if I don’t shake the container…🤷🏼‍♀️

@JaxDianne Год назад

Thanks for zooming in

@LKC4244 Год назад

I also go over my eyelids, lips and brows with my foundation as I’m blending but I don’t concentrate on my lips or brows. It works ok, as it gives a nice base canvas for me.

Watching in my bedroom as I sit on the bed doing my own makeup and the freckles look good and like rl from my view here. 42" LG. We have a lot of ppl here who have the full face of freckles ..idk what particular demo that is but where they're more freckle than face, if u know what I mean😊? So maybe I'm used to more freckles Also, yes, I do foundation all over because I want ultimate smoothness when applying and then I put on my lip balm and wipe it away along with the foundation when I do my final lip color

@marlenegerber145 Год назад

Happy Birthday Jen 🎉the whole freckle thing made my day 😂😂🤣

@kierstenpoling7073 Год назад

Oooh I love the Elf Bite Size eyeshadows! I have several of them. I'd say my favorite is the Truffle shade

@Winnie_Bago Год назад

Happy birthday Jen! Love your playful videos!

@jovana_kocic Год назад

•Sometimes the shade can impact the look of coverage. Shades that are too light can look like they're sitting on top and you can see gray cast beneath. Probably bc a shade down would have a tiny bit more of yellow red and blue instead of the white base, and that would help counteract the darkness more. So if you feel like you might like the formula try couple of shades (sample them) • Try the freckles before setting the base

@christinegraham2579 Год назад

Happy Birthday, Jen! Hope you have a marvelous day❤ Had a thought about the liquid lipstick; would it have survived reapplication if there was no foundation on your lips. Because the colors available in the shade range were lovely. 💖🤗💖🎂🍨🥂🍷🎁🎈🎉

@Lily_B2022 Год назад

The one time I noticed a difference between a setting powder and a finishing powder is the Dior Powder No Powder. The shine on that thing!! 😳 Too powerful if used as a setting powder, but the shimmer looks lovely if used just to finish.

@lorimartino6496 Год назад

Happy birthday! 🎉 This was a fun one!❤

@laur83 Год назад

love this style of video. also love the struggle with the freckle pen 😂 it’s great to see someone also being confused by how to use one. i’ve always been afraid of fake freckles because it’s hard to get them to look natural. but i think it’s great to learn and play with products ❤

@shellykozun3813 Год назад

@michellegray8087 Год назад

Jen, I love your videos, how real you keep everything. I have the Essence Sun Club Matt bronzer in a lighter shade. I love it and I reach for it often. It's never orange on my light skin. I also have a bunch of the bite size pallets in different shades that I love.

@disgruntledmoderate5331 Год назад

Happy birthday! I also don't get the difference between setting and finishing powders. I wear powder foundation if I wear foundation, so I don't put it on my lips. My trans wife does wear cream foundation, and she usually has some on her lips for the same reason. It is hard to go around the lips. Sometimes she wipes off what got on her lips, and sometimes she puts her lip product on top of what's there. I love those J Cat blushes. I have Angel Face and Honey Bunches. I have been tempted many times to get Sweet Pea, but I have too much blush! At least Phoenix's friends probably got a kick out of your look. 😆

@tjoines2 Год назад

I use the essence bronzer and like the darker one on me. I'm fair skinned, and you just need a little, and I add a little to build it. The light is very light, and you need the medium to build it.

Hi Jen, as far as elf eyeshadows the little minis are great. I happen to like them all and they work well for me. I love them because they’re small and I can carry them in my purse. I find the color last long and they’re great for the price point especially if you’re just starting out Using make up also for eyebrows, I like the elf liquid wow eyebrow gel. I also like for eyebrows LA Colors brow, pencil, dark brown, find it at the dollar tree. I also like from elf the HD powder.

Happy Birthday my sister Gemini!! My birthday was the 9th. Always nice having sister Gemini's around! Anyway, you put out another great video. I think the freckles looked better before the concealer went on top. The ones on the nose should have been a bit smaller but hey we all have trial and error on new products. I think the elf palette as far as colors were very close therefore didn't show much change from one shade to another. The mascara look like straight up crap. I don't wear mascara much but even I wouldn't buy that. My lips are ALWAYS dry therefore I very rarely wear lipstick either because of having to constantly put balm or chapstick on. The color was very pretty too bad it didn't work out well. Colourpop is my go to when it comes to lip. I love their Lux gloss and the winnie the pooh hunny pot. Boy does that work great for me. Sorry for the long post. Great video and look forward to the next one!!

@pams4401 Год назад

I layer concealers. Either a moisturising corrector with medium to full coverage concealer. Or a moisturising concealer with a low to medium or high coverage concealer. All depends on whether it's for full makeup or the natural 'it's my day off and I'm pretending I'm not wearing make up' look 😂 the point is to make sure one of them is moisturising as higher coverage formulas tend not to be.

@karikelly2797 Год назад

The freckle pen tho…As a freckled person, I am mortified by products like this. LOL. I suspect that it is important to not drag your finger as you tap because it looks like a very wet formula and it seems to be smearing the product sideways creating a line. My freckles are not regularly shaped nor are they the same shade as my hair, so perhaps a lighter color might be better for your skin tone? It doesn’t look as bad on camera as I think you may think it does or as it might in person?

I have tried the essence, contour palette, and I found it to be chalky and not very good. On the other hand, I have use essence blushes and love them. Their highlighters are OK for the price point but I’m sure there’s others out there that could be better. I also like essence baked blushes, which are beautiful in my opinion.
