I would get a free sample of both from Sephora to try. The Fenty might be more moisturizing but the HL more blurring which will help with texture. I have dry skin and they both work great but I don’t have texture.
I have dry skin and live in a very dry climate. The Tower 28 concealer is what I use for foundation. It’s fantastic and looks so natural. Medium coverage.
Nikki I really appreciate this guide. Because you are an MUA, you knew your products and I trust your judgment! I love your channel. You’re so beautiful!
Love your channel. So nice and simple, no funky music, no fancy camera trick, no hard core graphic. Yet still make me sit through a 20- 45 mins vid easily. Amazing! ❤
I told myself no more eye pallets but after seeing the Mario palette at the store, I had to get it. Would love to see how you did your current eye look. I have lots of your recommendations because we have similar skin tone and I trust you. Huda has 2 new shades in the blush and I already bought the Latte shade. What color is the YSL bronzer that you have?
For those who might be extremely oily like me and love the idea of using two setting sprays. Try switching out the Charlotte Tilbury for the Benefit Porefessional. It blurrs pores and just helps the makeup look well blended and takes down the extreme powder we tend to have to put on. It's the best setting spray that no one is talking about. And if you can afford it, I top it off with the One Size one. But it's not necessary. It does a good job of making makeup last on its own.
What foundation do you wear? I find i can't even get 2 hours without everything melting off even with intense powder. I haven't tried setting sprays so I'm interested in trying this.
Thank you Nikki!! You are awesome! I appreciate your knowledge and the way you help and explain the benefits of each product and the best ways to use them! You have inspired me greatly!
Hello Nikki, your makeup is sublime and this makeupbymario palette wow, I love it. Thank you for these recommendations, great gift ideas for the end of year holidays.🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for putting up this video. I've been loving the LYS bronzer and also the sephora eyeliners. Need a new skin tint, so I'm going to try the sephora.
The eyeshadow in this look is STUNNING!!!!! Perfect video because it's my birthday month, I have a gift card, and I just made Rouge like 2 months ago! ❤
I’d recommend the Dior foundation stick for combo skin as well. I’m in my early 40s with combo/oily skin, and on my skin it has a natural, healthy skin finish and holds up really well with a little powder in my t-zone.
So I went to Sephora the day before this released, but coincidentally I got 4 things that you recommended here! I got the Tower 28 & Danessa Myricks concealers, the Danessa Myricks primer, and the Tower 28 powder. Coincidentally, I also got a sample of the Milk Makeup glow primer. I’m excited since these also come highly recommended by you! ❤
Skipped forward for blush recommendations because I really want new one and then I'll come back to the whole video. Thank you for 40 mins of recommendations xx
Really enjoying kosas. If the holiday pack has colours you'd use. Worth it IMO. If not. Get ONE you like. I use everything, drugstore to hour glass, but recently have been impressed. But he warned each one has a different sort of finish
thx so much for noting Dior's stk foundation is not ideal for oily skin - saved me $$ (to pick up Maker's Artist candle instead 😉) appreciate your videos 🙏🏽 always great!
Thank u for the recs!!! Im going to check out several items. One thing to note. Sephoras return policy is not good in general but as of yesterday they had still not rolled out their holiday return policy. The store i was in was not sure if there would be one at all this year. So i put all the gifts i was going to buy back on the shelf. Had i gotten them yesterday the receiver of the gift (depending on when u actually would give the gift) would have at max maybe 5 days at the holiday to return the item should they want to. Sephora only allows a refund return for 30 days and a store credit for 60 days. So for anyone trying to buy gifts right now be warned there is as of today no extension for returns into January. I hope Sephora will post something soon for holiday 2024 and also consider bringing back a 90 day return similar to their competitors.
@@tarasz6288 Hi Tara, usually Sephora returns they have after the Holidays. I'm going to go there in person and find out if their policy has changed. Sephora should give you a chance to use the items you purchased at least ...You can't use everything at once.... thanks for the info....
I was planning on getting Danessa Myrick’s Yummy Skin Tint or Hourglass Skin Tint. I have very dry textured skin & live in a dry climate. Do you recommend Hourglass skin tint over Danessa Myricks skin tint for this situation? Thank so much for your help & recommendations!
hey Nikki!! I have been watching your videos for a while now and I just wanted to say that I love your channel so much!! each time I watch one of your videos I learn so much from you!! you are literally the best makeup artist and you are so talented! thank you for all you do!! you’re amazing and I hope you have the best day ever!!🩷🫶🏻
Oh my gosh, thank you SO MUCH for the sweet compliment and all the love ! I appreciate you so much!! I hope you have the best day too Camryn !!!🥹❤️❤️❤️
Spent $$$ yesterday on a cart full of your recommendations from prior videos. After watching this one, I’m going to buy a few more things. Thank you so much Nikki for always inspiring me!
Just in time! I’ve been watching tons of your videos last night to see some recommendations! I’ve already placed an order. Looks like I’m gonna need a second one.
Love your channel Nikki! Watching you the last couple of weeks has been so fun and helpful! Can you please tell me which powder bronzer you would choose between the Laura Mercier and YSL? Need to buy one an liked what you have said about both of them in different videos…
Thank you for your recommendations once again Nikki! You are definitely the creator I trust the most. Love you and also this is one of the most flattering makeup looks on you girl! Xx
Thanks for the recs, Nikki!!! Have you played with the new Patrick Ta liquid foundation since you tried it during that Nikki uncut? I've been waiting to hear your thoughts on it longer term.
Thank you so much for offering recommendations for all skin types. I feel that’s what makes you so exceptional! I bought the Fenty foundation and wore it today. My skin looks great ( I’m 67 with drying skin) I also bought the ND concealer and MUBM powder-so fabulous! 🎉🎉thank you!!!
So excited that you have launched your website Nikki 💕Are there plans to ship to Ireland in the future? I tried to buy your mirror but unfortunately shipping to Ireland was not available xx
Hi! Just discovered your videos & i have learned so much and watching your channel makes me excited to play with make up again!! I am an oily girl and I’m trying to figure out a good base for me.. whats the difference between foundation and skin tint? & which would you recommend? 😊
the tower 28 and kulfi concealer being your recommendations for dry skin girlies is spot on because i bought both of those based on your recommendations from past videos. also been loving the Cali Ray primer & Mario powder because of you. thanks for being my big sis in makeup 😂❤❤❤
Thank you for all these recommendations Nikki, have you tried the Danessa Myrics Evolution loose powder? I think I just found an alternative to my beloved Givenchy powder that has been discontinued. It’s incredibly lightweight and works fantastic for under eyes and all over the face. It’s soft matte but at the same time doesn’t accentuate fine lines at all.
Nikki, you introduced me to one of my favorite foundations ever - Dior Backstage Face and Body! Thank you! I love it! That said, I have been wanting to try the Haus Labs. Curious on your thoughts on how they compare? For context, I am early 40s, combination skin that I’ve noticed tends to get quite shiny/oily throughout the day. Very minimal texture. I like a natural/medium coverage foundation. Skin tints tend to be a bit too light for me (I do like the Urban Decay one though.)
I know she has recommended the YSL Candy Glaze lippies before, and …man, I’m drawing a blank on the others! 🥴 Maybe someone else can add some more in here!
Thank you Nikki! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Iconic London Underglow Blurring primer! As a normal leaning oily girl, I'm just not sure if its for me. But I am so curious about it.
Thank you for watching! I left them out in order to keep this video a bit shorter and less intense ! Lol but I love the classics- Dior lipsticks, Lancôme, the new Fenty for a high shine and love the makeup by Mario formula!
I was a huge fan of YSL lash clash but CT exeggareyes took over that place. YSL dries out in 3 weeks which is mega expensive also it is super hard to take off. CT goves the same effects and does not smudge so it is a winner.
Hey Nikki, what do you think about Chanel powder? I'm curious because my favorite was Givenchy before, but since I came across this Chanel one I don't use anything else.
Primer- If you had to choose between Danessa Myricks and Caliray for dry, maturing skin which would you choose? (not severely dry) Thanks for all the recs! I have yet ANOTHER cart full ready to check out as soon as I choose the primer. :)
I was waiting for your video You are the top make up artist that I trust thank you for your honesty you are the best sending you so much love all the way from Vancouver ❤
So, so helpful, as always! You've helped me find some fantastic products that work really well for me, like your BK Beauty brush set and thr Fenty cream blush ❤
I've been influenced already because I own a good majority of these and bought some yesterday. 😅 Not an eyeshadow person so that will always be something I won't own. But I want to thank you Nikki so much with all your makeup tips. A black woman I love how universal that are to me.
I follow like 100 different makeup artists on RUclips and your videos are my favorites! 💜🤫
Your eye shadow is beautiful! Pls do a how-to on this palette. Thank you for all your suggestions.
@@sandybrown9025 I literally thought the same thing
The silver sparkly eye looks fantastic on you!
Which foundation is better for dry textured skin: fenty luminous or haus labs? Thank you so much for the video, Nikki!
I think Fenty soft Lit luminous. It really just looks and feels like healthy skin. One pump goes so far
I bought the Fenty yesterday at Sephora and my skin is very dry. It gave instant hydration
I would get a free sample of both from Sephora to try. The Fenty might be more moisturizing but the HL more blurring which will help with texture. I have dry skin and they both work great but I don’t have texture.
I have dry skin and live in a very dry climate. The Tower 28 concealer is what I use for foundation. It’s fantastic and looks so natural. Medium coverage.
The fenty soft lit!!
OMG 😲 I love love your eye look in this video!!!!!! Simply gorgeous 😍 ❤❤
Nikki I really appreciate this guide. Because you are an MUA, you knew your products and I trust your judgment! I love your channel. You’re so beautiful!
So many Sephora sale recommendations on RUclips and you are the only one I trust ! Thank you 😊
I'm not into bright eyeshadow anymore but Danessa is a beautiful black goddess, like my mom was, so I want to support her😊🙌🏿
Oh my gosh!!! I need to watch this several times with a pen and notepad!! Love so many products!! Thank you so much!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
LOL. Thought the same thing!!!
Love your channel.
So nice and simple, no funky music, no fancy camera trick, no hard core graphic. Yet still make me sit through a 20- 45 mins vid easily. Amazing!

Haus Labs products are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Super skin-like, good coverage, lightweight, color match everything!

@mrsredheadrockstar I use the Maybelline skin tint. It stays put and looks beautiful.
That is the Setting spray I use and love it so much!!! Would not switch for anything else 😅
This makeup look you have on is stunning 😍
Your makeup is stunning!
Congratulations on your Sephora sponsorship ❤❤❤
Comments like this, truly make my day. Thank you for the support I appreciate this so much!
I love the Haus Labs concealer too! Great recommendations 👌

Thanks for putting up this video. I've been loving the LYS bronzer and also the sephora eyeliners. Need a new skin tint, so I'm going to try the sephora.
I love your videos - You really help with deciding where to splurge and where to save!
I LOVE THE HAUS LABS foundation! I’m so glad you recommended it! It’s the best foundation ever!! I pair it with Natasha Danona concealer 👌 *chefs kiss
The foundation of Haus Labs sounds amazing. I think I would definitely like to check this one out next per your recommendation. Thank you Nikki! 😊💖
Your word is my makeup bible! Thanks for all your hard work 💙
Me too
The eyeshadow in this look is STUNNING!!!!!
Perfect video because it's my birthday month, I have a gift card, and I just made Rouge like 2 months ago! ❤
Happy Birthday 🎉🎉

Yes, very first world indeed 🫣 but I can’t wait to hear what you end up getting Stephanie !!
😂 Definitely first world!!
Hi Nikki, I’m not sure if you have a good pencil sharpener but if you don’t, then you have to get the Nars one.
Thanks for the recs, Nikki!!! Have you played with the new Patrick Ta liquid foundation since you tried it during that Nikki uncut? I've been waiting to hear your thoughts on it longer term.
I really hope there's a video on this make up look
I’ve been waiting for this video! I trust your recommendations implicitly!!

Love my foundation and blush. Yes the blush is in a "small package" it is so pigmented I barely touch my brush to it.
So excited that you have launched your website Nikki 💕Are there plans to ship to Ireland in the future? I tried to buy your mirror but unfortunately shipping to Ireland was not available xx
Thanks Nikki, great video. Can’t splurge much, but enjoy all of your videos💜💜💜
I would love to see a full face of DIOR VS CHANEL😊
Hey Nikki! Thanks for the video 😊. For touch ups with the Kosas pressed powder do you use a brush or a powder puff to apply?
Hi! Just discovered your videos & i have learned so much and watching your channel makes me excited to play with make up again!! I am an oily girl and I’m trying to figure out a good base for me.. whats the difference between foundation and skin tint? & which would you recommend? 😊
I have super dry skin but I skin prep and I’m in love with the one size! I love the full coverage that can’t be beat and it’s not too drying to me.
I THOUGHT that I was finished with my Sephora savings. Now I have a new list. Oy. Thanks Nikki! 😂 Love u. 💜💜💜
What lip combo do you have on? I love the color 💕
the tower 28 and kulfi concealer being your recommendations for dry skin girlies is spot on because i bought both of those based on your recommendations from past videos. also been loving the Cali Ray primer & Mario powder because of you. thanks for being my big sis in makeup 😂❤❤❤
Thank you Nikki for including dry skin products even though you are more oily. I am going to pick up the dior stick foundation.
I can get a really natural finish with the OneSize foundation if I use my fingers. It doesn’t have to be full beat!
Thanks for the best videos! Especially during Sephora sales
Did not need anything but still ended up getting the Gisou lip oil and LYS foundation stick!
Two very great picks!

Hi!!! Thank you so much! Do you have any suggestions for lip glosses or lipsticks?
I know she has recommended the YSL Candy Glaze lippies before, and …man, I’m drawing a blank on the others! 🥴 Maybe someone else can add some more in here!
She liked the makeup by Mario ones.
Thank you for encouraging her. ❤
A person that works for dior said they are going to be expanding the shade range soon on the stick foundation.
I’m really enjoying the Fenty beauty hydrating foundation 😊 it sits beautifully on my dry skin and gives me a healthy glow 😊
Im in love thanks for sharing
Thank you again for the excellent recommendations!!
