Dior Beige Mitzah is my go to one and done, but definitely needs a base to hold onto or it wears off fairly easily. I also love Rituel de Fille Ash and Ember eye soot in half light.
@@carolbowen4349 Hi Carol! This is the 3rd time that Mitzah has been recommended, so I definitely need to check it out! Am I correct in thinking it’s a powder shadow? If so, then yes you would definitely need some sort of prep first! Thanks for sharing ☺️💜
@@b.b7305 Me too! I never reach for palettes on a normal day, I’m officially a one & done lady! They’re a game changer for the school run 😂 Like you said, no worrying after application- they’re amazing! 💜
I own three Oulac Metallic Shine Lipsticks. They’re an awesome formula as well! Baby Angel, Sahara Gold, & Pure Envy. These lipsticks have the magnetic top or closure! Luxury feel at an affordable price. I also have an Oulac concealer and a couple of setting powders. Have not tried the setting powders yet but I like the concealer. I believe they’re based in Canada.
@@tracibuckley9314 Hi Traci ☺️ Oh wow, I didn’t realise Oulac were Canadian! I’ve been waiting for some feedback on their other products, so I’m delighted to hear it’s positive! I’ll definitely be placing an order from them. They seem to be a really underrated brand. Thanks for the feedback, such great recommendations! 🩷
That Velvet Ribbon lipstick is amazing on you. Your face looked lit up when you put it on! My favorite Lisa Eldridge lipstick for every day WAS Velvet Muse, BUT NOW it's Ashes of Roses, from her newest Rouge Experience collection. It's balmier and with a little bit more luster. My second favorite of this new release is Medici. For nighttime, I like Ribbon, but my favorite is Velvet Jazz---I'm quite a few shades darker in skin tone than you are, so a deeper lip shade suits me better. I love the foundation, too, but not for every day, more for "special occasions" when I need a most perfect shade match (mine is 16) plus hurricane-proof staying power. If you didn't like the finish, try it mixed in with a drop of moisturizer or sunscreen. Getting the right shade also helps immensely---it truly disappears on the skin, but evens out both the melasma (brown patches) I have and the vitiligo (white patches) that has now begun around my mouth.
Hi there! I think you came here from my Lisa Eldridge video 😉🩷 Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I truly adore Velvet Ribbon, it is very special! I had my eye on Jazz, I would’ve chosen that but it was out of stock! Ashes of Roses is stunning, one of my friends reviewed it on her channel & she fell in love with it too! I appreciate the foundation tips as well! It’s amazing how it can address both melasma and vitiligo so effectively, I’m delighted for you. Thank you for sharing your experiences and recommendations -they’re so helpful! 💕☺️
@@CarmelNicoleBeauty You are so nice! Yes, I was watching your Lisa Eldridge review and kept on to others, didn't realize I wrote my comment under the wrong one. Yes, keep playing with the foundation, I think the quality of it is superb. And please, try Ashes of Roses! It's one of those chameleon lipstick shades that look good on 99% of people! Thank you for taking the time to reply.
@@irairod5160 I think Ashes of Roses might be my Christmas gift to myself 😂 Thanks again for the feedback, loved hearing your experiences and recommendations ☺️🩷
I’ve used the Maybelline and Revlon shadows you mentioned but my current favourites are Kiko Milano sticks which you can get from Amazon. I dot gold in the inner corner, copper on the lid and blue and/or brown in the crease and under eye and give it all a blend. It’s not one and done (but it can be) it’s more scribble and smudge but once set it doesn’t move x
@@kerrymcilwaine Hi Kerry ☺️ I’ve heard great things about the Kiko sticks! And they’re really affordable too. I often do the same! There’s absolutely no blending in the creams, so even when you use more than 1, it’s still super quick and easy! Thanks for sharing ☺️💜
I have Bobbi Brown and LM shadow sticks but recently discovered Julep because of the incredible range of colors. I’m currently into different shades of lavender and purples, and the Juleps have been really good.
@@nickimontie Hi Nicki! I’ve heard of Julep but haven’t tried anything from the range yet. I’ll definitely look into them, thanks so much for sharing! 💜☺️
Lots of Julep suggestions, definitely one I’ll be checking out! Can’t wait to try Colourpop too, sounds like I’m really missing out. Thanks for sharing! 🩷
Oooh this video is right up my street Carmel thankyou!! Some excellent alternatives here to my tried and trusted Revlon pot. Will definitely be looking into Oulac and Maybelline. Love your lipstick Carmel, please may I ask the brand and shade. Please could I suggest/request an 'I'm wearing.......' in the description box for your makeup products (obviously only when you start with a full-face of makeup). If it's too problematic, I understand, was just a thought. Hope you have a lovely weekend!! Xx❤
Hi Jillian! Haha, that is so funny! Would you believe that this is only the second video ever where I haven’t listed everything that I’ve been wearing in the description box (I didn’t with the last one either!) I didn’t think anyone ever read it, so thought I wouldn’t bother 🤣 I’ll edit it in later, it’s no issue. Thanks for letting me know that it is actually useful 😂 So the lipstick is by Charlotte Tilbury & it’s called ‘Walk of No Shame’. I love red lipstick season! 😃👄 Hope you’re having the best week Jillian, thanks for coming by. I always appreciate you 🥰🩷 xx
Yes lol!!! To think I used to laugh at one and done looks. 😂 Now I'm all for them I always am running out the door so I don't have time for a 3-4 eyeshadow look. 😂😂😂
So excited when I saw the title of this video😊 Thanks so much for including matte options for my sensitive eyelids. Everyone of them looked awesome on you. I love a quick eye look. Often for work I will just use a bronzer on my eyes. Love the look of the Mac Paint Pot in Groundwork and the LM Au Naturel. Thanks also for such a good range of price points. Great video 😊💕
I definitely had you in the back of my mind whilst choosing, Sally! 🩷 The Mac and Armani mattes shown in the video are quite similar, but Laura Mercier & Bobbi Brown have lots of matte options in their sticks too! I wear one & done most days- couldn’t be without them! Hope you’re having the best week 💜☺️
Thank you so much, Natalia! The lipstick is by Charlotte Tilbury and it’s called ‘Walk of No Shame’. I’m so happy that it’s red lipstick season now! 😃 Thanks for being here ☺️💜
Really enjoyed this content and thanks for giving us a variety of high end and drugstore products. I've just started using eyeshadow a bit more regularly after many years of just using MAC Paintpot in Soft Ochre as a colour corrector on my eye lids and just an eyeliner. Just bought 2 Maybelline Tattoo shadows and the Revlon in Caramel. I'm tempted to try the Bobbie Brown as I've just bought a cream blush from this range really like it. ❤❤
@@eleanor543 Hi Linda! ☺️ One & done shadows are amazing, they’re just so quick & easy! Would love to hear your opinion on the Maybelline and Revlon once you’ve tested them out ☺️ I want to try some more Bobbi Brown too, a very underrated brand I think! ☺️🩷
I am looking forward to your choices. I did a video on this last year, and I have some different choices this year. I have my selections and I’m saving that video for a week where I don’t have a new product. I love the paint pots too. Bobbi Brown has a great stick for sure. I love your choices ❤
Oh fab Mona! I’ll have to go back & have a look at your video. I love hearing about new one & done shadows, they’re my favourite! Thank you so much for watching, really appreciate you being here! ❤️🥰
@@CarmelNicoleBeautymine was quite awhile back. As you know, doing this channel can get very expensive so I thought I’d do an updated video on which shadows made the cut again and which new ones took a spot!
@@Erin-op6hd Oh wow…and I thought I was busy with just 2! 😳 Erin, you are a real life SUPERHERO! And I really mean that! 💕 One & done shadows are perfect for busy, amazing mums like yourself 🩷
This was so awesome Carmel! You give so much information and make everything so easy to understand so anyone watching can make informed choices. Also I love just listening to you. Your makeups look amazing and your hands are so pretty 😍
@@janvann8386 Ah thank you so much, my lovely friend! ❤️ I wish my kids loved listening to me 😂 You’re so sweet, I’m surprised anyone can listen to me ramble on! 😘💜 Ps- I hate my hands! 🤣
@ we could be twins!! I’d only ever heard that my voice was grating… until RUclips and a couple people said I have a soothing voice and I thought they were being sarcastic 😂 and I was born with old lady hands so that’s all I ever heard about 🤣 but I notice hands and can remember what they look like. My dad died 24 years ago this month and I can still see his hands in my mind. I thought it was an odd thing to remember but my sister said “it’s what connects us” and then I cried for a while 🤪🥰. You have really pretty hands. And kids never listen 🤣 and then act all victimy when we yell… like we didn’t say it nicely repeatedly before the yelling 🙄🤪🤣🤣🤣
Love these options Carmel! I ended up trying the revlon option after your last video. I have monolids so it’s a little trickier to figure out the most flattering way to apply 🙃but thank you for the rec! ❤️ have a fab weekend my dear!
@@heartmumblr Hi lovely ☺️ Your eyes are absolutely stunning! How do you usually apply powder shadow? Whatever you do, your eye makeup always looks flawless! I guess it’s trial & error but I’m absolutely sure you’ll find your way! Have the best weekend ☺️🩷
I use Mac in Groundwork on my lid and the Armani in 30M at the base of my lashes. Both crease some if I use them alone, but together they stay put. Also I find Groundwork a be a nicer color but the Armani gives the effect a liner. Love these!❤
@@Heidi-bp5jw Hi Heidi ☺️ I initially had my eye on 30M, it looks beautiful! These products are very versatile & sounds like you’ve definitely found a way to get the best out of them! Thank you so much for sharing 💜🥰
@@Katelyn-uk4gp Hi Katelyn! You’re so welcome ☺️ Oyster Pearl is beautiful. The Eyes to Mesmerise are probably my all time favourite formula, it’s so incredibly easy to use! Thanks for watching, lovely 😘💜
What a beautiful selection of shadows. Thank you! I have 2 of the Revlon ones, creme brulee and praline - they definitely do last on the eye! I was sorely disappointed by the Laura Mercier Caviar stick in Rose Gold (maybe it's just that colour because your LM stick looks more impactful/very lovely), but it does have staying power, I saw a swatch of the Laura Rose Gold compared with the Bobbi Brown Golden Pink and wow, I think Bobbis formula is the one for me!
Ah thank you so much! It’s a shame that the Laura Mercier didn’t work out, was it just too subtle? Thanks for letting me know because I had my eye on that shade! The Bobbi Brown are fab, probably the best stick formulation out there! It might be best to wait until you can swatch in store before you pick one up though, that way you’ll know how pigmented they are! Thank you so much for sharing 🩷🥰
@CarmelNicoleBeauty It is a subtle colour (on me, I am quite fair), which I like, but it's more that on me it looks dull, as if I've added a touch of texture to my eyelids more than anything else, the shimmer doesn't pull through much. Those 2 Revlon shades on me are quite subtle on my skin tone too - but the light does catch the particles. I went to read some of the low reviews of the rose gold on the LM site and some said the same, that it is too subtle - but some love it! Maybe my batch was just a lackluster batch? I'm not sure!
@@fionadavis9526 🙈 Haha, you made me laugh Fiona! Limit yourself to just 1 😉 You’re right, only one colour (that basically blends itself) and still looks great! In fact, often better than powder because they’re not drying at all! Very underrated! 🥰💜
@@leslieryalls566 Hi Leslie! I’d never heard of Mally before, so I just googled & those shadows look so beautiful! I’ll definitely be looking into them. Thank you so much for sharing! ☺️💜
Have you tried the hour glass cream shadow (very expensive $33l) but oh so beautiful and there is 1 from Siseley ( ridiculously expensive $64 ) I think ...I know crazy but the color antique is out of this world!!
Hi! ☺️ It’s so funny you ask that, I was eyeing up the Hourglass a few weeks ago. I decided not to bother because it looked super glittery. Do you get a lot of fall out? Sisley prices…absolutely crazy! Not sure I’d ever be able to pay that much for one shadow! But…never say never 🤪🩷
@@adrienneroxanne9833 Hi lovely! Ah thank you so much 🥹🩷 So I’m actually wearing 2 shadows in this video. The main one is the Bobbi Brown in bronze- which is very shimmery! And then I popped some of the Armani Eye Tint in the shade 22M into my crease (just a little bit) Hope that helps! 😘
I just purchased two of the Oulac shadows. I never heard of them. I don’t know if you get Phytosurgence. One and dones are my favorites. Moira is an affordable brand that has decent one and dones. I believe they ship to uk.
@@TracyD2 Hi Tracy! I’ve heard all about Moira but haven’t tried anything from them as yet, I’ll definitely be doing so in the new year though ☺️ Hadn’t heard of Phytosurgence, so I’ll have to do some research! I really hope you love the Oulac, will you come back & update me? 💜
@@user-zk8ed4kd2b Great question! The first one that comes to mind would be the Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerise. It has the creamiest formula, which is almost mousse like. It also contains Vitamin E (which is great for hydration) so that will help to smooth the eyelids and prevent them getting dry. Hope that helps in some way 🩷☺️
@@Erin-op6hd The Chanel is good, just dry! When it comes to one & done, I don’t go for powders so haven’t tried the single Dior or Estée Lauder. Creams & liquids are easier to blend & save so much time. I feel like I need to put more effort into powder, taking time to blend? If that makes any sense! I’ve had my eye on the latest Viseart palette, it’s taking all of my willpower to resist 😂
@@dawnsaito2992 Hi Dawn! I’ve heard of Kulfi but have no knowledge on them at all! I’m not sure I can get them easily here. I just googled & the only UK retailer is €60 per pot! 😮 They look incredible though! 💜
I’m a big fan of these eyeshadows. But, if you look at the amount of product you get in the high end eyeshadow sticks it’s quite a small amount. I bought the Laura mercier ones and once home tried it, loved it then realised the bullet had detached from the holder. Couldn’t return it, it must have been dropped. I love them but on reflection the Armani and Lisa Eldridge, and Mac ones I think are better value.
Hi there! ☺️ That’s a great point and I genuinely think that the affordable options are just as good (sometimes better!) than the high end! Sorry to hear that happened to your LM shadow 😩 In future, I would advise contacting the brand directly, they will often give you a replacement. It’s a lot of money to lose 😕 I’ve seen the new L’oreal shadows and I’m super excited to try them! ☺️🩷
i love the elf ones but they make my eyes burn so bad :( it has something to do with whatever ingredients cause the dry down. I don't have that problem with revlon caramel
Oh my goodness, definitely throw those away! 😳 Sorry you’ve had that experience. I wonder which ingredient you can’t tolerate? It’s worth taking a note of the ingredients for future reference! I’m glad it doesn’t happen to you with every shadow though 😘🩷
Hello Carmel, I also love wearing only one eyeshadow, very practical... My favorite is the "Mono eyeshadow" by Dior in the shade "Mitza", an absolutely magnificent cream powder shadow. And at more reasonable prices, the Kiko eye shadows, a superb bronze shadow. Thank you for your recommendations.🤩🤩🤩
@@audreyso1201 Bonjour Audrey! I just googled both of those and they look like something I would absolutely love! 😍 I could genuinely live without palettes because I only really wear one & done shadows on a normal day. They’re amazing to have! Thanks for the recommendations, have a lovely weekend! 💜🥰
I have to agree with your subscriber that Mitzah by Dior may be my #1, but I also love Nudestix and CT eyes to mesmerize, but I think sticks are even easier than CT to use. I love the Lisa Eldridge liquid eyeshadows too!
@@deba2219 Hi Deb! Oh that’s sad to hear 😕 I wonder if others have had the problem as you? I’ve had mine for over 12 months & it’s still perfect. Have you tried lightly spraying it? I have a drying issue with my Chanel pot, but a bit of spray brings it back to life! Thanks for sharing your experience ☺️🩷
Sorry I’ve only just seen your comment! I use any hydrating facial mist, rather than a setting spray. I currently have the Gruum Kyla Hydrating Mist because I got it in my monthly subscription box! Any cheap one will do though! 💕
@@ddmprecisi Oh it’s so annoying when the shade isn’t right 😕 Definitely the major drawback of ordering online! Maybe you could save it for your inner corner, or pair it with another shadow? 🩷
I think you would like the shade "Regal" I figured after ordering some shades that there is 2 formulas, the shades numbered with the letter P have a more subtle prearly shimmer finish as the other shades have small sparkles in them.
Love that you have 4k subscriptions now! Your channel deserves to grow!

That Velvet Ribbon lipstick is amazing on you. Your face looked lit up when you put it on! My favorite Lisa Eldridge lipstick for every day WAS Velvet Muse, BUT NOW it's Ashes of Roses, from her newest Rouge Experience collection. It's balmier and with a little bit more luster. My second favorite of this new release is Medici. For nighttime, I like Ribbon, but my favorite is Velvet Jazz---I'm quite a few shades darker in skin tone than you are, so a deeper lip shade suits me better.
I love the foundation, too, but not for every day, more for "special occasions" when I need a most perfect shade match (mine is 16) plus hurricane-proof staying power. If you didn't like the finish, try it mixed in with a drop of moisturizer or sunscreen. Getting the right shade also helps immensely---it truly disappears on the skin, but evens out both the melasma (brown patches) I have and the vitiligo (white patches) that has now begun around my mouth.

@@fionadavis9526 🙈 Haha, you made me laugh Fiona! Limit yourself to just 1 😉
You’re right, only one colour (that basically blends itself) and still looks great! In fact, often better than powder because they’re not drying at all! Very underrated! 🥰💜
HI, I have a lot of Mally eyeshadow sticks, you might give those a look. Not sure if as good as Mercier or Bobbi Brown, but still nice.
@@leslieryalls566 Hi Leslie! I’d never heard of Mally before, so I just googled & those shadows look so beautiful! I’ll definitely be looking into them. Thank you so much for sharing! ☺️💜
Have you tried the hour glass cream shadow (very expensive $33l) but oh so beautiful and there is 1 from Siseley ( ridiculously expensive $64 ) I think ...I know crazy but the color antique is out of this world!!
Hi! ☺️ It’s so funny you ask that, I was eyeing up the Hourglass a few weeks ago. I decided not to bother because it looked super glittery. Do you get a lot of fall out?
Sisley prices…absolutely crazy! Not sure I’d ever be able to pay that much for one shadow! But…never say never 🤪🩷
You look very pretty in this video. ❤😊 What is the shadevon your lids? I need a good neutral brownish shade for work. 🙂
@@adrienneroxanne9833 Hi lovely! Ah thank you so much 🥹🩷 So I’m actually wearing 2 shadows in this video. The main one is the Bobbi Brown in bronze- which is very shimmery! And then I popped some of the Armani Eye Tint in the shade 22M into my crease (just a little bit) Hope that helps! 😘
@CarmelNicoleBeauty Thank you so much! 🥰😘😍

Thank you for your video 😊
@Art4StartbyOK Thank _you_ so much for being here 😘💜
I just purchased two of the Oulac shadows. I never heard of them. I don’t know if you get Phytosurgence. One and dones are my favorites. Moira is an affordable brand that has decent one and dones. I believe they ship to uk.
@@TracyD2 Hi Tracy! I’ve heard all about Moira but haven’t tried anything from them as yet, I’ll definitely be doing so in the new year though ☺️ Hadn’t heard of Phytosurgence, so I’ll have to do some research!
I really hope you love the Oulac, will you come back & update me? 💜
Which ones do you think might work best on very wrinkly eyelids?
@@user-zk8ed4kd2b Great question! The first one that comes to mind would be the Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerise. It has the creamiest formula, which is almost mousse like. It also contains Vitamin E (which is great for hydration) so that will help to smooth the eyelids and prevent them getting dry. Hope that helps in some way 🩷☺️
K i gotta ask .. your foundation is gorgeous 💖 what is it
@@Erin-op6hd It’s the Huda Beauty Easy Blur foundation 😘🩷
Never tried but hows Dior ,Chanel , Estee Lauder, in the single shadows? My holy grail for eyeshadow is Viseart ..made in france and its incredible!!
@@Erin-op6hd The Chanel is good, just dry! When it comes to one & done, I don’t go for powders so haven’t tried the single Dior or Estée Lauder. Creams & liquids are easier to blend & save so much time. I feel like I need to put more effort into powder, taking time to blend? If that makes any sense! I’ve had my eye on the latest Viseart palette, it’s taking all of my willpower to resist 😂
You need to check out Kulfi eyepots. They are just as good as CT if not better.
@@dawnsaito2992 Hi Dawn! I’ve heard of Kulfi but have no knowledge on them at all! I’m not sure I can get them easily here. I just googled & the only UK retailer is €60 per pot! 😮 They look incredible though! 💜
I’m a big fan of these eyeshadows. But, if you look at the amount of product you get in the high end eyeshadow sticks it’s quite a small amount. I bought the Laura mercier ones and once home tried it, loved it then realised the bullet had detached from the holder. Couldn’t return it, it must have been dropped. I love them but on reflection the Armani and Lisa Eldridge, and Mac ones I think are better value.
L’Oréal have some eyeshadow sticks now. Not tried them yet
Hi there! ☺️ That’s a great point and I genuinely think that the affordable options are just as good (sometimes better!) than the high end!
Sorry to hear that happened to your LM shadow 😩 In future, I would advise contacting the brand directly, they will often give you a replacement. It’s a lot of money to lose 😕
I’ve seen the new L’oreal shadows and I’m super excited to try them! ☺️🩷
i love the elf ones but they make my eyes burn so bad :( it has something to do with whatever ingredients cause the dry down. I don't have that problem with revlon caramel
Oh my goodness, definitely throw those away! 😳 Sorry you’ve had that experience. I wonder which ingredient you can’t tolerate? It’s worth taking a note of the ingredients for future reference! I’m glad it doesn’t happen to you with every shadow though 😘🩷
Hello Carmel, I also love wearing only one eyeshadow, very practical... My favorite is the "Mono eyeshadow" by Dior in the shade "Mitza", an absolutely magnificent cream powder shadow. And at more reasonable prices, the Kiko eye shadows, a superb bronze shadow. Thank you for your recommendations.🤩🤩🤩
@@audreyso1201 Bonjour Audrey! I just googled both of those and they look like something I would absolutely love! 😍
I could genuinely live without palettes because I only really wear one & done shadows on a normal day. They’re amazing to have! Thanks for the recommendations, have a lovely weekend! 💜🥰
I have Mitzah! I so agree ❤ in fact I just flashed it up in my last video saying it was so pretty and I love it like I love the Patrick Ta duo shades
I have to agree with your subscriber that Mitzah by Dior may be my #1, but I also love Nudestix and CT eyes to mesmerize, but I think sticks are even easier than CT to use. I love the Lisa Eldridge liquid eyeshadows too!
I’ll definitely have to pop that shade on my list! 🥰💜
Love the maybelline one but it dried out in the pot quite quickly.
@@deba2219 Hi Deb! Oh that’s sad to hear 😕 I wonder if others have had the problem as you? I’ve had mine for over 12 months & it’s still perfect. Have you tried lightly spraying it? I have a drying issue with my Chanel pot, but a bit of spray brings it back to life! Thanks for sharing your experience ☺️🩷
@@CarmelNicoleBeautywhat kind of spray do you use? Thank you.
Sorry I’ve only just seen your comment! I use any hydrating facial mist, rather than a setting spray. I currently have the Gruum Kyla Hydrating Mist because I got it in my monthly subscription box! Any cheap one will do though! 💕
I tried the pink oulac but think it was too much for me since im 65 and should have just stayed on the eyelid
@@ddmprecisi Oh it’s so annoying when the shade isn’t right 😕 Definitely the major drawback of ordering online! Maybe you could save it for your inner corner, or pair it with another shadow? 🩷
I think you would like the shade "Regal" I figured after ordering some shades that there is 2 formulas, the shades numbered with the letter P have a more subtle prearly shimmer finish as the other shades have small sparkles in them.
This is interesting, I had no idea about this! Thanks for sharing! ☺️
