I tried the Givenchy for the first time and it is THE BEST! Thank you. My skin is dry, specially on my under eyes, and this really worked in a beautiful soft way. Laura Mercier didn't do it for me neither the banana one so I am so glad you recommended this one! Gracias mamasita.
Dear Nikki, when I was a teenager my mom purchased Lancome powder for me on a black market because we were living in the Soviet Union and they were not sold in department stores. This was my initiation into The Make Up. These days Make Up Forever's Ultra HD Loose Powder is my all time favorite. I am excited to try out Laura Mercier's new formula, and will definitely try out Givenchy Prisme Libre in #3 because you've described them so well. However, I am curious to know what do you think about Hourglass Veil? I have repurchased it twice at least. It gives such an amazing subtle glow, I just love it. Thank you So much for everything you've shared. I am so happy I have found your channel.
I really really think you would like Nikkiia Joy’s Velvet Finishing Powder. It’s all I use since finishing it 3 years ago. It’s the most finely milled powder I’ve found, makes my pores and shine disappear, and it smells like natural vanilla. You can also get an unscented version. She is located in Australia, but ships worldwide 😊
Thankyou Nikki! I have all of these powders with the exception of Huda. I love them all, but my favorite is the Givenchy. I use the pink primarily under my eyes and I also have the blue/green.
I’m so happy you love the Givenchy too!! It’s just so smoothing and brightening under the eye!! The neutralizing green/ multi colored one is amazing for all over setting and for oil control 👍🏼👍🏼
Flight attendants wear make up for 24hours on a 18hour flight lol we have make up on before we show up for work then be in the airport 2-3 hours before the flight. yup 24hours lol
Nurses, politicians, Lawyers, there's a ton of professions where us ladies go Long and strong and then have to do other things before and after work before we can actually get some rest and start over fresh!
I’m so glad to hear that you don’t necessarily depot products for your kit. I know it’s more convenient as far as weight/space but I enjoy the packaging and also I feel like the packing of products itself is made to be functional and with certain products such as foundations, it doesn’t compromise the ingredients and formula. Thank you for this super informative video, I need to try the Laura Mercier and MUFE HD powders. Love Givenchy and I also have 4 of their shades.
Super helpful, thank you! Would you consider creating a similar video on pressed setting powders? Or, possibly a video on "budge and shine proof" products and tips to use when you're traveling (spending the day in an airport and airplane) for work?
Thanks Nikki. I have learned so much just from this very informative video. I have all of the five powders but didn’t know how exactly they were different to each other. Thanks darling. PS. My fav is the Givenchy in Rose and Huda in Cupcake. I love the perfume of the Huda one too! Thanks again!!! ❤️
Fantastic breakdown of the powders. Thank you for the in depth explanation of why you chose these specific ones. I too love both the MUF ones as well as the Laura Mercier and Huda. I have drier skin and of the ones you’ve mentioned the Huda is really quite impressive. It leaves such a flawless, blurring quality under the eyes and all over the face. I need to try the Givenchy powders, I cannot believe I have not. In addition Chantecaille’s talc free loose powder is really nice as well as Hourglass, for drier skin options. Also, you are gorgeous.
I’m 53 and very light skinned but I love a setting powder that blurs. Gonna try the Givenchy which reminds me of Guerlain meteorites powder from back in the day! ❤
I literally got a mini Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder🙂that stuff sets and blurs and is mattifying and looks like flawless skin🙂it's very smoothing🙂
I personally love the new Laura mercier powder however as a oily girl personally I don’t use it as an all over powder, I use it to bake under my eyes because although I am super oily my under eyes are dry and it does great on blurring out my under eye creases or if I have a break out I put a bit on and around it. It definitely helps blur it out and make my skin smooth but I noticed when I put it on as a all over powder I get oily faster
Thank you! I’ve been wanting to try the Givenchy powder, I think I might go ahead and get it! My under eyes have darkness so I really want to try it. Thanks for explaining in detail which each is good for. 💙
Before I watched the video, I saw the written list in the video description and felt iffy seeing Laura Mercier mentioned, since I find the original powder underwhelming. So happy that I actually watched the video since you mention the original powder, and how the one you like is a different one! I've never used any of the powders you mention in this list (and honestly, at this point have been thinking all powders are the same), but as a life-long oily gal, I'm super excited to try the second Makeup Forever powder in the video. Will let you know how it works out once I get to test it! Thank you!
I prefer the Hourglass setting powder over Laura Mercier bc LM creases and sets in fine lines. Charlotte Tillbury setting powder is the best to set under eyes. Amazing 🙌🏼
@@aj__love5919 Yes! Charlotte Tillbury setting powder (gold compact) shade light the other shades might oxidize ur foundation a bit but I also use all over face sometimes if I want a smoother flawless look
Love learning from you and I love a lot of these. I'm currently using Ben Nye banana. Very blurring and smoothing, with a powder puff and a light hand. I'm tempted on that Givenchy!
I have dark circles under my eyes. From the powders you are showing which powder would work best. I have been watching you for several months. You are really good with the information you provide us. Thank you
Nikki!! I’ve been watching almost all of your videos the past few days because you explain everything so well and I trust your opinion 🫶🏽 can you please make a video of your top 5 concealers?
How does the Givenchy prisme libre powder compares to the Pat Mcgrath Labs blurring under eye setting powder (for setting the under eye area)? Thank you in advance!
I’ll make a video on pressed powders soon!!! But as you may know- my go to is the Charlotte tilbury airbrush flawless pressed powders. They are just perfect 👍🏼
Which is the best way to set the laura mercier...brush or puff? I just bought the mini. Love your channel bc you look more like me ....brown hair & eyes!
Hi, do you think the Givenchy will look good on olive complexion? I’m like a light neutral. I use like charlotte Tilbury radiant concealer in 8 medium peach undertone and Bobbi brown corrector in light peach that I just got today actually. But I never set my eyes cause they always show lines and just looks so cakey. Is it a must to set with powder? Please let me know! Thank you! ☺️❤️
Im looking for my first powder.. I have new fine lines and dry, aging skin.. Looking for blur without totally mattifying. I had my eye on the hourglass powder. I like that it doesn't smell. Any thoughts?
Hi Nikki. I just tried GIVENCHY under my eyes and I think I love it MORE than Pat Mcgrath under eye powder. What is your opinion? Which would you prefer or which one ( in your opinion) is better for over 40 under the eye( minimal wrinkles, some darkness, light skin tone) thank you 😊
Thank you Nikki, may I asked is the Givenchy prisme libre #3 good for dry skin under eyes to set concealer ? I am warm undertone light to medium skin, are you open a make up lesson for bigger ? I live in San Diego, CA
I purchased the mini Givenchy setting powder #5 for my new Christian louboutin 60W cream tinted foundation. CL face powder is $125 which $75 is for the compact and $55 for the powder. CL powders was questionable for me on the skin match and spending $75 for a compact powder holder. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for this video! It helps me soooo much for buying the perfect powders. I wonder I want to have a small pressed powder for small touch up during the day to carry in my bag. Do you have any recommendations? 😊
Hi Nikki, your skin is absolutely gorgeous! Just wondering, my understanding is setting loose powder will give a matte finish. What if I wear a sheer-finish foundation? Sheer finish aims for a glowy-looking skin… would putting a setting loose power on top would kill the glowy finish..? Love your videos, thank you ❤
You explained how best to apply some of them but not all of them, unless I missed it. What is the best way to apply the Laura Mercier and the Givenchy libre?... powder puff or brush? Thank you.
Hi Niki, I really love your videos!! I have mature skin, however, I’m very lucky that I do not have many wrinkles, but I wanted to ask you, would you recommend the Givenchy powder, or the Laura Mercier?
Very well explained. I love love huda beauty easy bake powder, it's blurring, super soft but it does not hold well and gets removed by sweat and not waterproof too. Am I doing something wrong or is it that way? Please let me know
I don’t know what magic 🪄 you have but when I watch your videos, your voice is soo soothing it gives me an instant relaxation and stress relief. Whatever you say lol works 😅 great suggestions. I just went shopping at Sephora based on your recs. 💞
Do you have a video on best way to apply setting powder to face? I have combination mature skin and want to set control oil but also look natural. I’m struggling with application and powder. Thank you so much.
Love the huda beauty powder I have it in two colors, pound cake and banana bread. I’m definitely gonna try the new Laura mercier powder I still have the old one and I’m intrigued to try this new one 😊
I just bought pound cake to try all over my face 😊 I’ll be trying the new Laura merrier after I run out of my old Laura mercies What powder puff do you use
I have very dry skin and I use the nars foundation and elf concealer then I usually set with the Laura mercier powder and a powder puff. It’s good but my makeup comes off on my forhead usually. I tried huda beauty the same way but it makes little lines under my eyes all the time and I really hate how Cakey and patchy it looks. It also makes my under eyes look gray and hollow😫😫
I tried the Givenchy for the first time and it is THE BEST! Thank you. My skin is dry, specially on my under eyes, and this really worked in a beautiful soft way. Laura Mercier didn't do it for me neither the banana one so I am so glad you recommended this one! Gracias mamasita.
Sadly I heard that they reformulated it, people say the new one is not good anymore 😢
Love the way you explained why you like each of the products and how you use each as well! SO SO SO HELPFUL!
I love the Huda powder fragrance. It's not overwhelming just very subtle. Beautiful powder.....

Thank you for providing one for "mature" skin! Your makeup looks great! 😍
My hg is MUFE translucent as well! When nothing else is working, this works. I wouldn’t say it controls shine, but it does mattify and BLURS.
The Givenchy powder has been a game changer for me. Thanks!
The reformulated one?
@@maymm104 no…🥲

Sad that Guerlain Prisme loose powder is gone due to Talc being declared July 2024 as Carcinogenic 😢
Agree! During residency days, I wear my makeup for more than 24 hours without washing my face 😂.
You look so divine in this video, the hait, makeup, outfit. *Chef's kiss*
I have learned so much from you, I am thankful that I found your channel.
I took your advice and opinion on the CT pressed powder and you weren’t kidding! Works so well on my 60 yr old eyes!

💕 love your videos. Thank you. Maybe you could bring your mom on to do her make up for us viewers that have more mature skin 😃
Awwww that’s such a sweet idea!! My mother is SUPER, super shy so I’d have to really talk her into it lol!!

Hourglass powder is amazing! My new favourite.
Huda Beauty and Givenchy Prisme are a tie for my favorites. The Givenchy Prisme blushes too!
Good Morning Niki. If possible, will you review the Westman Atelier Pink Powder? ❤

I love the make up you' re wearing!
How does the Givenchy prisme libre powder compares to the Pat Mcgrath Labs blurring under eye setting powder (for setting the under eye area)? Thank you in advance!

For applying the givenchy powder under the eyes do you use a sponge or brush. I have dry skin
Do you think the Givenchy pressed powder would be good for keeping in the bag for touch ups?

Nikki, what are you wearing on your lips? You look so pretty in this video!
Please try the Nikia joy cosmetics loose powder and pressed powder !
Do think the givenchy powder would be good on very dry under eyes? I’m debating between that or Westman Atelier in pink

Laura mercier & huda beauty is the best so far for oily skin like mine :)
Yes yes yes!!! I was going to request a powder recommendation video and here it is 🥳
Whoop whoopbbb🎉🎉🎉
For oily skin, would you recommend the make up forever over huda beauty?
Thank you so much for this video! It helps me soooo much for buying the perfect powders. I wonder I want to have a small pressed powder for small touch up during the day to carry in my bag. Do you have any recommendations? 😊

gorgeous!

i love your lip combo, what are you wearing in this video on your lips? thanks!
You explained how best to apply some of them but not all of them, unless I missed it. What is the best way to apply the Laura Mercier and the Givenchy libre?... powder puff or brush? Thank you.
I am older and I use makeup forever powder UD it works great.
Have you tried the Jaclyn Hill loose powders + sheer loose powders? They are even more finely milled than Huda and I LOVE the Huda powders.
Hi Niki, I really love your videos!! I have mature skin, however, I’m very lucky that I do not have many wrinkles, but I wanted to ask you, would you recommend the Givenchy powder, or the Laura Mercier?

My favorite was the too faced peach translucent powder. If anyone used it, does anyone know of a good dupe for it, it’s been discontinued 🤧
I absolutely love it , I still have it in my vanity , I use it on my clients but sadly it’s been discontinued
This was so helpful!
This video is exactly what I was looking for ❤thank you

Givenchy Prisme is reformulated ( due to talc now declared by World Health Org ad Carcinogenic and the new formula is not good on my skin 😢
If you had to pick one between LM ultra blur or Huda which one would you Pic? I don’t know which one to get thanks doll
I’m curious too I have oily skin
Do you have a video on best way to apply setting powder to face? I have combination mature skin and want to set control oil but also look natural. I’m struggling with application and powder. Thank you so much.

What powder puff do you use
@@Ohkeh640 the triangle one that Nikki uses
I have very dry skin and I use the nars foundation and elf concealer then I usually set with the Laura mercier powder and a powder puff. It’s good but my makeup comes off on my forhead usually. I tried huda beauty the same way but it makes little lines under my eyes all the time and I really hate how Cakey and patchy it looks. It also makes my under eyes look gray and hollow😫😫
