      Yes! My skin tone and hair are so similar that high contrast make up escalates a look too quickly. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    Yes! I’m high contrast, ( dark hair, eyebrows, black eyes, very pale skin, sharp features ) and I would love your take on it. I think your color theory videos have helped me so much. You’re a good educator. 🎉🎉🎉

    Yes, 'gold' always just turns into 'shades of orange' on my skin too! I always need a very COLD gold (which sounds oxymoronic but it's not), for it to read as gold on my skin.

    • @kyleemaliwauki2682
      @kyleemaliwauki2682 3 месяца назад

      Totally agree. I’ve tried to copy makeup looks from individuals with a deeper skin tone than me in the past. I’m fair and always felt like I looked like a clown. Now I’ve been focusing on not but overly pigmented colors and stick to the lighter end of the options. So a video would be awesome!

    @notimportant123 3 месяца назад +2

    OK unrelated but I wanted to confirm something you posited in a prev video re: peachy pink blush on olive skin. You were correct. Peach/orange blush looks AHRANGE on us (equivalent of PANK on you). Not like "oh my blush is orange" more like "oh my FACE is orange". So for a peach blush, we go peachy-pink.

    • @TracyD2
      @TracyD2 2 месяца назад

    I was waiting for your review. The palette in pictures is so pretty, but was you described it’s so gold. I can’t quite pull off the intense gold on the eyes. Now if she came out with a rose gold palette I would be all over that!

    I was waiting for your review on the Golden palette as a fellow colour theory NERD, because I was so interested in it from the promo shots but everyone I’ve seen use it so far…it looks so…orange? I’m not sure if it’s the colour grading on videos or what but I’m gonna have to see it in store before I purchase it.

    • @kackie
      @kackie  3 месяца назад

      Yeah I didn't change my color tone at all and I use very neutral lighting, all artificial. I was surprised at how orange it is too.

      @masc4mascara39 3 месяца назад

      @@kackie thanks for the clarification Kackie! I’m sensitive to undertones and it seems to look different on everyone (which is par for the course) but it’s making it hard to really get a grasp on the undertones without seeing it myself in store. Love the vid as always ❤️

    As far as YT recommendations go, many of the current beauty content creators I currently watch, YT actually did recommend. I don't go to the main YT page, I go directly to my YT page ( I made it back in 2007 when you needed a photo or video sharing site to post pics/videos to your blog shout out HTML coding ) Anyway, I found your channel because I watched Hannah's videos & YT recommended yours. So yes, YT does recommend beauty content creators but somewhat indirectly I guess. If you are watching a certain kind of content, they will recommend similar 😮 I never watched any of THE BIG beauty channels involved in Dramageddon except for Tati 😊 I literally only knew about them from all the coverage of the fall out.

    @angiesanchez238 3 месяца назад

    OMG! I love you so much!!! I agree with you and I am here for the videos mentioned. Actually, I am here for all your videos because they make sense. Kackie, this collection does not feel complete to me. IMHO, I think ND missed an opportunity to have a successful comeback with one of the most iconic gold tone palette of all time. By offering the burning lip gloss from hell and offering a cheek highlighting palette in three metallic colors. I means who needs so much metallic highlighters? I think she missed an opportunity to offer us a complete collection. She could have offered us a universal gold cheek palette including a blush, bronzer and highlighter. I think that would have been great for the summer days or a way for us to elevate the palette for the evening. So basically, I just have a neutral gold eyeshadow palette. I see you on your next video! 🫦🤦🏻‍♀️🤗💖💯✌🏼

    @andree7303 3 месяца назад

    I love ND matte formulas. And I’m excited for a non orange warm palette. However, all of her glittery shades pull silver/white sheen on me. Im a medium tan/neutral/low contrast, so I was hoping for some darker foils/metallics with subtle shimmer and gold/bronze sheens. There is that one darker bronze metallic… but I’m still playing around with it.

  • @makeup_onhermind
    @makeup_onhermind 3 месяца назад

    I have come to realize that I have decluttered every ND palette I've ever bought by now, I thought we were on the same page about the formula XD now you are inching to the other side Kackie! hahaha. I really like things to be less opaque and I think her mattes are FAMOUS for looking super different on the skin than in the pan -.- not easy enough! but I am always open to having my mind changed. Maybe someday.

    i craved your chaotic video, while in the hospital recovering from emergency surgery, and i thank you for your escapeism!!! i’m a cool toned lover and still want the INAN palette, but i also have black hair and brown-almost black eyes, and would definitely pick this up (after the i need a nude palette) to bring out my eyes. i only own the mini gold palette and not the OG gold palette, and i kinda wish the one green/gold shimmer was in this new golden palette. the packaging looks gorgeous as well. i will NOT be purchasing the gloss after seeing how badly plumping it is, because i prefer the plumping of the lawless or haus labs glosses much more; however, i WILL be ordering one of the lovely eadam lip balms because it looks gorgeous on you, and i’m a sucker for coffee/vanilla scents in a delicious looking balm. thank you for showing it because i’d never heard or seen anything about the brand until you mentioned it and put it on. kackie, pleaseeee make a high/low contrast video!!! you are a gem!!! 💛💛💛

    I haven't seen anyone comment on it, but EADEM is a BIPOC (Black and Asian), women owned brand that focuses its products on the slight differences for skin with more melanin. The gloss/balm is their first foray into a sort of color cosmetic.

    Okay, I felt stupid about the contrast thing, but I read the other comments. LOL! I would love a video about that! Love the look, I am loving this new palette, and I am getting it! WOOHOO!

    Yes on the high / low contrast video. I really love the usual chaos but I also enjoy color theory and visual effects (like that lip and the blemishes that somehow appeared as your lips changed). Anyway great video.
