Dont apologize a bit for what doesnt work for you. I feel the same way about the lighter shades of the wetnwild Matte lipsticks. They are so dry uneven and chalky but the darker shades have a better formula. I cant find my shade in the trumatch face powder for the life of me. I can wear the foundation in w4 but the powder wich I dont believe matches the foundation oxidizes so bad it darkens like 3 shades on my face. Mac plus doesnt fix my make up even though it gets rid of the powdery look. It happens to us all. Great video.
Maybe try revlon colorstay whipped foundation..thataylaa a pale princess like you and has dry skin swears by it.. Im not sure if the revlon colorstay foundation for normal to dry skin has one for pale skin..but they might since it is both from revlon..do try them out :)
BeautywithEmilyFox With the Nars concealer..I find that a little goes a long way. I dot it on and blend it, layering it on days I need more coverage. I see a lot of girls on RUclips PAINTING it on their face lol Also, maybe using an eye cream beforehand may help with dryness. Reply ·
If you're looking for an alternative for Velvet Teddy and have fair skin: instagram.com/p/0s6yiaBo0C/?taken-by=beautywithemilyfox If you have tan skin and it ended up washing you out I would recommend Taupe or Mocha :)
Em, I'm very pale and the foundation that I've been wearing for a long time is the Rimmel Match Perfection in the shade Light Porcelain! Fits my skin very well, but it is quite drying so I have to put a lot of moisturiser on beforehand!
+Nailpolish96 You should try Rimmel's Lasting Finish 25HR Foundation. It gives a more satin finish. It doesn't feel drying at all and I absolutely love it!!
You mentioned 6 products that I absolutely love and use all the time 😅 just shows how some products can end up in these kind of videos for some and be holy grails for others. I loved this video though! ❤️
+Serena Perez Haha it's crazy how sometimes it's like that! That's always why I try to explain why it didn't work for me since it could be why it would work for you! Happy you didn't take it personally :)
I also hated the revlon lip balm, didn't like the glitter, they dried out my lips and settled into lines. Have you tried the Sleek true color lipsticks? Don't know if you have it in Canada. Amazing, so cheap and the colors are great, pigmentation is great, they feel comfortable and they stay on for a long time.
I agree about Velvet Teddy. I went to a Mac counter for Velvet Teddy because it looks so freaking beautiful on so many RUclips vloggers. On me, Velvet Teddy is just brown. I ended up buying Fast Play, which I'm very happy with.
I went to a Mac store to get velvet teddy but it barely showed up on me and I have really pale skin, ended up getting Persistence instead which is really nice!
I really like Wet 'n Wild's other liquid eyeliner formula. It's the mega liner and comes off easily, but still lasts all day. The wand is also similar to a paint brush, not hard at all.
with the nars concealer, you just need the tiniest bit. use 3 dots max under your eyes then blend it with a beauty blender or your finger. hope this helped x
I totally agree with you about the velvet teddy lipstick! I was so excited to get it and when I tried it on it washed me out and looked straight up brown, very disappointing. It does look better when putting a darker lip liner such as soar by mac but still huge disappointment.
Thanks for the heads up and what didn't work for you. The Waterpoof WnW eyeliner is insane to try and remove, literally almost took my skin off trying to remove it! But the other one is amazing! It took me awhile to purchase it cause I hated the waterproof one so bad. It's a million times better.
Emily, I've discovered you about a week ago but I am ADDICTED! you're so honest, cheerful and reliable! I've bought a few products you recommended and I was not disappointed. not to mention your skin, eyes and hair are very similar to mine so you're basically a 'mirror' for me :P keep the good job up! xoxo
youre right! velvet teddy is my first mac lipstick, i love the smell but its NOT MATTE! Its like a Satin finish and i heard it will remain on ur lips when u eat or drink but.. NO! Its suuuper creamy like.. ugh, i think its not worth the hype. & the color is darker that on pictures or in videos from other people that got the same lip color than me. I will next try the Nyx Matte lipsticks, maybe there better and theyre muuuch cheeper that the Mac Lippies. Greetings from Germany!!❤
Ich will mir so gerne Velvet Teddy kaufen, aber ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob mir die Farbe stehen wird bzw ob es das Geld wert ist, weil ich vlt schon eine sehr ähnlich Farbe besitze. Probier mal den Lippenstift für ne Weile in den Kühlschrank zu stellen, bevor du ihn verwendest. Dann ist er hoffentlich matter und nicht so creamy. Und falls du auch verrückt nach matten Lippenstiften bist, ich kaufe Lipliner anstatt Lippenstifte, die sind viel günstiger, fast immer matt und langanhaltend. Aber vlt kennst du diesen 'Trick' schon. :) Ich hab eins der NYX Matte Lip Creams. Die sind auch ganz okay. :) LG aus Österreich
Oh, du meintest die NYX Matte Lipsticks! Die möchte ich auch gerne ausprobieren! Hoffentlich finde ich (beim Douglas) Farben die mir gefallen, denn meistens ist nur eine limitierte Auswahl an Farben erhältlich. :(
+Nokkinator dankeschön, ich würde dir velvet teddy nicht wirklich empfehlen und ich hab den Lippenstift schon in den Kühlschrank gestellt bringt aber nix.. 😯 danke für deinen kommentar ❤❤
+Nokkinator Ich kann dir Velvet Teddy sehr empfehlen ich habe mich total in den verliebt und habe auch keins von den Problemen die ihr erwähnt habt :) für mich totally worth the hype!
The wet n' wild liquid liners are my go-to holy grail product. The normal one is great for everyday use however the brush for that one takes some getting used to. The H20 proof one is perfect for me when I'm like at the beach or going out at night. Just anytime you would need waterproof and weatherproof makeup is the perfect time to use it. I use the neutrogena wipes to remove my makeup and never have to scrub! idk if you've tried those but I love them.
I completely know what you mean about velvet teddy! It just didn't look as good as it does on others on me! I ended up going with 'kinda sexy' which I love! have you tried it? xx
I had a similar issue with True Match in Alabaster-I used that shade for a while, before realizing I had the wrong undertone, and it looked good on me but I felt like it never fully set on my skin. I would hug people, and it would rub off my face onto their clothes; particularly if the person was taller than me.
I feel like we do share a similar opinion when it comes to lip products because I also despise the Nyx round lipsticks, the Revlon lipbutters and Mac lustre finishes. :D I agree with you, that the Nars concealer is incredibly drying, I have really dry skin during the wintertime and I can only use this product from about the end of spring to the end of autum.
I agree with the Nars creamy concealer. I prefer Maybelline's Fit Me and Urban Decay's Naked concealer a LOT more (those two are my favourites). The Nars doesn't last on my face at all!
I have no idea if you use this foundation or not but if you haven't tried the Makeup Forever HD foundation they have an amazing range for fair skin. The lightest shade is the perfect porcelain color with slight pink undertones. Great formula as well (as I'm sure you've heard).
I totally agree about the too faced bts mascara, but the nars concealer is my favorite of all time!!! I have dry under eyes and Mac prolong wear was dry and cracking on me, but the nars works. I have put on the urban decay naked skin concealer in sephora a couple of times and hated how it looks. That just goes to show different products work for different people!
I have super dry under eyes too and Mac just looks like cakey under my eyes. How does the coverage of nars compare to Mac Pro longwear? I seriously need to do something else under my eyes. The Mac coverage is so great but not worth making me look 20 years older.
+clarebooty19 I think the Nars has more coverage than the prolong wear! It seriously is my favorite concealer and I will never stop repurchasing!!! If you want something lighter, the maybelline master conceal and the maybelline fit me are both great under the eyes. I use the fit me if I want something lighter than the Nars.
i have nyx round lipstick in fig and i love it, cuz it's a pretty everyday neutral pink colour and it's easy to put on, but i totally understand what you're saying, its formula is too thin and creamy which makes it uneven on the lips, but i usually can work it out by pressing my lips together and putting it on more, and i think it looks better after some time when it settles on my lip, tho i know that a vibrant colour like "chaos" would make it much harder to work it out.
I have the acne formula of the garnier bb cream and weirdly the light medium shade is more yellow base than the other formula. The coverage and finish is great but it's breaking me out wich is a bummer (especially because it's suppose to help).
Marie-Eve Legault Isn't it the worst when an "acne fighting" product makes you break out?! haha it's like not only are you not helping but you're making things worst! :P
Whirl looks so brown on my skin! I actually like velvet teddy because I needed a beige brown. but I agree that it looks totally different on cool toned skin!
As a fellow Canadian makeup lover I truly appreciate you telling the Canadian pricing.... Also thank you for these types of videos, you have seriously saved me so much money, beautiful!!!
The brown lipstick issue! In do wear Velvet Teddy but, I mix it with morning coffee liner and a gloss on top. The one that pulled pure brown that I HATED on me but, is a cult color is Twig. Had to Back to Mac that just a week after purchase. Ugh.
Definitely agree with you on Loreal True Match C1!I have very fair skin so I loved the colour but not the formula. I found it very hard to blend properly even with a sponge :( love your videos😊
totally agree about the nars concealer. it creases horribly under my eyes. abdominal the better than sex mascara flakes on me too, and its so weird how your lashes just kind of deflate through the day.
The garnier bb cream in the antishine/ all day / oil free bob cream is awesome and has awesome coverage and I have acne scars and huge pores! It looks flawless and lasts for a good amount of time. Try that one maybe?
I love the garnier BB cream. My face hates it when I use foundations and breaks out afterwards so I never use it anymore. But it is ok with Garnier BB cream and luckily I don't really need a lot of coverage.
Applying a little bit of velvet teddy on your lips and massaging it in with your finger helps sheer it out and makes it more wearable. I also love to apply Vegas volt in the center of my lip (just a dab of it) and then rubbing it in with your finger it brightens the lips and brings warmth I enjoy it very much.
Lol I was legit just looking up products I regret buying videos cuz they help me not waste money sometimes and then BOOM... You come out with one! YAASSSSAH! 😀😁
I've got dry skin too and the L'Oreal True Match doesn't work for me unless I mix it into a silicone-based moisturiser (I use Aveeno). It stops looking so cakey on the skin but it does sheer out the coverage. [Note: I wear W1, not C1, so I'm not sure if there are formula variations.]
I love Velvet Teddy!! I do understand your opinion tho, because the same happened to me. I have even more fair skin and it looks terra-cotta brown. I do love the color, but it was kinda disappointing because it didn't look same as when others wore it :/
I agree on the lip butters. I don't like the really light shades but I do love Raspberry Pie and Lollipop in them. They feel so good on but fade away too fast.
I didn't like the L'oreal true match either, and I'm also shade C1! My favorite foundation for fair skin is the Wet n Wild Coverall, in shade Fair. In my opinion it's just the right shade. Even if you don't end up liking it as much as I do, it's pretty inexpensive (I think around 5 dollars) so I'd say it's worth a shot!! I hope this helps, from one fair skinned gal to another!! :)
The Too Faced mascara does have a lot of fallout, but I have been using the loreal intenza volumizing mascara as a second coat (waterproof version) and it has done wonders!
I'm a pretty new subscriber but I'm really enjoying your videos, your personality is so great! Also, I would like to recommend to you a NYX Love in Florence palette called Meet My Romeo, it's a really great drugstore palette! Also, I only use the Nars concealer under my eyes when I absolutely HAVE to because it's so heavy duty. But that stuff is AMAZING for blemishes, it covers them completely and doesn't make them look flakey. I also use it when i don't feel like wearing foundation, and a little goes a long way. I'm not a fan of the MAC Lustre lipsticks either, my favorites are the cremesheens. If Velvet Teddy is too brown for you, try Urban Decay's Sheer Revolution lipstick in the shade Liar, it has more pink in it. I only like some of the revlon lip butters, but the ones i love, i looove. The Candy Apple shade is amazing.
Firstly, this was a great video! It's always nice to know someone's honest opinion of a product, especially if the product has received rave reviews. In regards to the L'Oreal True Match foundation, I'm rather pale and wear shade N2 Classic Ivory. The way I've made it work best for me is to cleanse my skin and gently pat dry first. Then, I moisturize my skin and wait for the product to completely sink in before I apply the foundation. I prefer to apply this formula with my fingers because the warmth helps this product to seamlessly blend into my skin. I hope this helps!
Fellow very fair skin girl here! Try the new Marc Jacobs "Remarcable" foundation. They have an extremely porcelain cool toned shade which is even too fair for me. I'm a C2 in True Match so if you're a C1 this shade would be perfect for you, and the formula is an absolute DREAM.
Gerard cosmetics lip glosses did not work for me what so ever. I only have some of their lighter shades so I don't know if darker colours work better. But the ones I own are super patchy on the lips and they emphasize any dryness or lines on your lips. I love their lipsticks thought.
I have very dry skin and eczema and the Loreal True Match only works for me in the summer when it's really hot and I'm dealing with sweat and oiliness. I wore it to the music festival Hard Summer (where it was 90 degrees in the shade) and it worked amazingly. Even with the sweat and the redness on my skin, it didn't look cakey or flakey. I think it's a foundation that's great for oily and normal/combo complexions. In colder weather, I think it's too drying for people with dry skin.
I think I may try the Vitamin E mist thing, I'm using the nyx dewy but as you said it doesn't really do anything. I use the fit me foundation in 110 which is very fair, but more yellow. But Rimmel match perfection light porcelain is very fair and pink if I remember correctly. Radiant creamy concealer, a little goes a long way, I have to be very careful under my eyes to make sure it doesn't cake up
Omg! You look absolutely stunning!! You always do but there's such an elegance about your look today 😊 I've heard great things about the Nars Luminous foundation (I can't remember the exact name 😳) but it just did not work for me. I look so yellow after an hour
Have you tried L'Oreal true match Lumi foundation? It has a pump but the color selection is a bit dark for fair skin and I have a love hate relationship with Too Faced Better than Sex flaking is BAD. Probably won't repurchase...can't go wrong with Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume in non-waterproof
I appreciate this video, never feel bad about making one. I love seeing what works for people. I get annoyed when people like legit love every product they are sent.
You're so endearing! It's such a joy to watch your videos 😊 I'll definitely take your regretful purchases into consideration next time I makeup shop because as a college student, I'm living the broke life.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one disappointed with the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara. I love the way it makes my lashes look, but it was all over my lid by lunchtime. I also keep trying to like the Nars concealer. Lately I've been using an eye cream or gel underneath it with helps. I'll try the Urban Decay one when I run out of my current tube.
GIRL! I wish L'Oréal could just realize the need for true match lumi in c1. I can only wear c3 for 2 months out of the year and it's so frustrating. Some fair skin foundations I like are the Mary Kay luminous foundation, and the Tarte Amazonian Clay full coverage foundation in fair beige. It's matte, but doesn't cling to any dry patches I have!
I regret buying Velvet Teddy too... I bought it a couple years ago without even researching it and long before the 90's brown lip trend came back and luckily I've been getting some use out of it lately but I'm warm toned (MAC NC20) and it looks straight up brown on me too... And I have to say it's a shame you don't like the NARS concealer, it's one of my HG's, for sure. I went through a whole tube of it and haven't had the chance to repurchase it since here in Brazil makeup is hella expensive. Also can't wait for a new lip swatch video!
I did enjoy my true match foundation. Mine is W3 (a tad darker than my skin tone, but I made it work.) Too bad, you didn't like it. I feel the same way about the Nyx round lipsticks. They're too creamy that they tend to slide around a lot. They had some great color selections though. Ugh. Mac Russian Red was extremely drying. It's quite a popular shade but I just couldn't stand how it felt on my lips.
I got velvet teddy yesterday and personally I love it but I can understand how it appears brown on your skin! Luckily it is a lovely nude pink colour on my lips ❤️
Hello Emily! Pour les fonds de teint pour peaux claires, j'adore le rimmel lasting finish nude dans la teinte "Ivory" qui est la deuxième teinte la plus claire après "light porcelain". Le rendu est super naturel et la tenue est excellente sur ma peau mixte. Voilà j'espère que ça te sera utile. Ps: love your videos!
I use the Wet N Wild H2o proof eyeliner on only the corners of my eyes because the regular comes off. Then I use the regular on the rest of my eye. It works great for me.
The Nars concealer in Light 1 is the only concealer I have found that matches almost perfectly to my fair skin. Sadly it does crease slightly but I have yet to find another concealer fair enough, even the MAC prolongwear and UD Naked are too dark. The struggle is real.
I am also very fair skinned and I totally agree about velvet teddy! Looks straight brown! Another product that does not work for me as a very fair skinned girl with cool undertones is the it cosmetics your skin but better cc. Everyone loves it but their fair shade looks straight yellow on me I tried mixing it but nothing can help that when I have it on it looks like yellow face paint so disappointed it was expensive!
I feel the same way about the Nars concealer. I also use vanilla in the winter but I mix it with my Maybelline fit me concealer and it looks much better on the skin. I also use the warmth of my finger to blend it in. That's how I've been trying to use up the one tube that I bought. Hope that helps.
I enjoy the Bite Agave Lip Mask when I have trouble with my lips, like when they are very very dry and rough. I use it only before bed so the stickyness and the thickness doesn't bother me. I won't use it as a daily lip balm, for me that wasn't practical for the reasons you mentioned. I really used it just like I would any mask.
I can commiserate on the Velvet Teddy problem! I love your channel because i have super fair skin all year round so i really trust your opinion. Personally my favorite brown toned nude from Mac is Blankety.
I have pretty oily skin so I'm not sure how well these would work for you but at the drugstore I enjoy Revlon colorstay. I prefer the normal to dry formula because it's lighter and easier to apply. Their whipped version has also worked well for end. These are both in 110 ivory. I also love Maybelline matte and poreless. Also in the lightest shade porcelain. It's very inexpensive about 6 dollars US. The only drawback is that it doesn't last all day. Maybe 6 hours but again I have very oily skin.
umm I have fair skin to and I have this light foundation that blends REALLY WELL and its from the brand santee in the shade and with it I usually use the elf clarifying compressed powder in light\beige and it makes my skin look so natural
I use my fingers for bb cream because it's so light and It will disappear (I've been there Sista). But if it's still not working ,put a little bit more than you need :) ❤️❤️ I love the garnier bb cream and that's how I usally apply it. Hope it helps love you💜
blushinbabe 101 plus I have a little bit of a darker complexion so it may be able to fit me a little better. I'll see what I can do to find u a good BB cream. CUz I love you so much
The bare minerals complexion rescue I wanted to love ! But it always looked weird near the mouth ( dry ) and it always rolled of in little clumps !!!! Every one loves it and I don't know why it doesn't work on me ! I had to return it and get the too faces born this way foundation ! See if I like that !
Aww, it's so unfortunate that the Agave lip mask didn't work for you! I had a lot of trouble with it when I first bought it, but I did find that if I put a thin layer on after exfoliating before bed, I couldn't really taste it and I needed less Chapstick during the day. I totally agree about that Nars creamy concealer though, the Fit Me is leaps and bounds better for my skin

I totally agree with you about the velvet teddy lipstick! I was so excited to get it and when I tried it on it washed me out and looked straight up brown, very disappointing. It does look better when putting a darker lip liner such as soar by mac but still huge disappointment.

I agree. I don't like Velvet Teddy either. It's straight up brown/orange.. a very unnflattering color on the lips. But it looks so good on swatches..
Totally feel you about Velvet Teddy! When I saw it in the shop I was convinced I got it wrong - so brown on me!
Emily, I've discovered you about a week ago but I am ADDICTED! you're so honest, cheerful and reliable! I've bought a few products you recommended and I was not disappointed. not to mention your skin, eyes and hair are very similar to mine so you're basically a 'mirror' for me :P

I fixed Velvet Teddy's tone back to pink by adding Maybelline's Touch of Spice over it. You can also use Macs Pop Mode lipglass for the same effect.
Love you Em!!!❤️ thanks for share that products with us

i have nyx round lipstick in fig and i love it, cuz it's a pretty everyday neutral pink colour and it's easy to put on, but i totally understand what you're saying, its formula is too thin and creamy which makes it uneven on the lips, but i usually can work it out by pressing my lips together and putting it on more, and i think it looks better after some time when it settles on my lip, tho i know that a vibrant colour like "chaos" would make it much harder to work it out.
I have the acne formula of the garnier bb cream and weirdly the light medium shade is more yellow base than the other formula. The coverage and finish is great but it's breaking me out wich is a bummer (especially because it's suppose to help).
Marie-Eve Legault Isn't it the worst when an "acne fighting" product makes you break out?! haha it's like not only are you not helping but you're making things worst! :P
Marie-Eve Legault it breaks me out too!!
I have the same problem. It makes me look oily and it gives me pimples. I was so disappointed because so many people love it!
Although the one for oily/combination skin is my favorite bb cream ever!!
+Jen Heeney same here! this one is the best!
Whirl looks so brown on my skin! I actually like velvet teddy because I needed a beige brown. but I agree that it looks totally different on cool toned skin!
As a fellow Canadian makeup lover I truly appreciate you telling the Canadian pricing.... Also thank you for these types of videos, you have seriously saved me so much money, beautiful!!!
The brown lipstick issue! In do wear Velvet Teddy but, I mix it with morning coffee liner and a gloss on top. The one that pulled pure brown that I HATED on me but, is a cult color is Twig. Had to Back to Mac that just a week after purchase. Ugh.
Definitely agree with you on Loreal True Match C1!I have very fair skin so I loved the colour but not the formula. I found it very hard to blend properly even with a sponge :( love your videos😊
Hey girl!! Just discovered your channel and I L❤️VE!!! Looking forward to your next tutorial!!
totally agree about the nars concealer. it creases horribly under my eyes. abdominal the better than sex mascara flakes on me too, and its so weird how your lashes just kind of deflate through the day.
Your makeup looks so good today! Wow!!
The garnier bb cream in the antishine/ all day / oil free bob cream is awesome and has awesome coverage and I have acne scars and huge pores! It looks flawless and lasts for a good amount of time. Try that one maybe?
Miranda Gordon I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to it... oh well plenty of other products out there :)
I love the garnier BB cream. My face hates it when I use foundations and breaks out afterwards so I never use it anymore. But it is ok with Garnier BB cream and luckily I don't really need a lot of coverage.
Same with concealer which is why I also use the garnier bb cream concealer for my dark circles.
Applying a little bit of velvet teddy on your lips and massaging it in with your finger helps sheer it out and makes it more wearable. I also love to apply Vegas volt in the center of my lip (just a dab of it) and then rubbing it in with your finger it brightens the lips and brings warmth I enjoy it very much.
Yes, I agree with you about Velvet Teddy. It looks brown on my lips too and I can't find a lipstick like it, pinky nude :(
I love the garnier bb cream but you're right about the shades.. I got extra light and its still too dark for me and i'm not even that fair :/
Lol I was legit just looking up products I regret buying videos cuz they help me not waste money sometimes and then BOOM... You come out with one! YAASSSSAH! 😀😁
youbelong2me Yay! Perfect timing :D
The revlon colorstay is amazing! I have dry skin and it always looks amazing and I also have fair skin and the lightest shade matches me perfectly!
kcbeauty19 I have to try it again. I tried it years ago when my skin was extremely dry and I hate full coverage foundation lol I might like it now :)
I've got dry skin too and the L'Oreal True Match doesn't work for me unless I mix it into a silicone-based moisturiser (I use Aveeno). It stops looking so cakey on the skin but it does sheer out the coverage. [Note: I wear W1, not C1, so I'm not sure if there are formula variations.]
I have the Annabelle Lipsies in Lychee and it's really good.
I'm not a fan of the lustre finish or frost. I don't care for the new Mac waterproof foundation, but it seems to be pretty popular.
I love Velvet Teddy!! I do understand your opinion tho, because the same happened to me. I have even more fair skin and it looks terra-cotta brown. I do love the color, but it was kinda disappointing because it didn't look same as when others wore it :/
I agree on the lip butters. I don't like the really light shades but I do love Raspberry Pie and Lollipop in them. They feel so good on but fade away too fast.
I love the fit me matte poreless in the lightest shade! covers my red really well but doesn't make me look dark or like I have a mask.
I didn't like the L'oreal true match either, and I'm also shade C1! My favorite foundation for fair skin is the Wet n Wild Coverall, in shade Fair. In my opinion it's just the right shade. Even if you don't end up liking it as much as I do, it's pretty inexpensive (I think around 5 dollars) so I'd say it's worth a shot!! I hope this helps, from one fair skinned gal to another!! :)
The Too Faced mascara does have a lot of fallout, but I have been using the loreal intenza volumizing mascara as a second coat (waterproof version) and it has done wonders!
I'm a pretty new subscriber but I'm really enjoying your videos, your personality is so great!
Also, I would like to recommend to you a NYX Love in Florence palette called Meet My Romeo, it's a really great drugstore palette! Also, I only use the Nars concealer under my eyes when I absolutely HAVE to because it's so heavy duty. But that stuff is AMAZING for blemishes, it covers them completely and doesn't make them look flakey. I also use it when i don't feel like wearing foundation, and a little goes a long way. I'm not a fan of the MAC Lustre lipsticks either, my favorites are the cremesheens. If Velvet Teddy is too brown for you, try Urban Decay's Sheer Revolution lipstick in the shade Liar, it has more pink in it. I only like some of the revlon lip butters, but the ones i love, i looove. The Candy Apple shade is amazing.
Firstly, this was a great video! It's always nice to know someone's honest opinion of a product, especially if the product has received rave reviews. In regards to the L'Oreal True Match foundation, I'm rather pale and wear shade N2 Classic Ivory. The way I've made it work best for me is to cleanse my skin and gently pat dry first. Then, I moisturize my skin and wait for the product to completely sink in before I apply the foundation. I prefer to apply this formula with my fingers because the warmth helps this product to seamlessly blend into my skin. I hope this helps!
I started using the Garnier BB cream as a primer, to start using it up. Also works mixed withe the CoverFX Drops!
Fellow very fair skin girl here! Try the new Marc Jacobs "Remarcable" foundation. They have an extremely porcelain cool toned shade which is even too fair for me. I'm a C2 in True Match so if you're a C1 this shade would be perfect for you, and the formula is an absolute DREAM.
I had the same fallout issue with the Better Than Sex mascara.
I have fair skin too, and I don't like Velvet Teddy on me either. So disappointing it looks SO BEAUTIFUL on other people :((
Gerard cosmetics lip glosses did not work for me what so ever. I only have some of their lighter shades so I don't know if darker colours work better. But the ones I own are super patchy on the lips and they emphasize any dryness or lines on your lips. I love their lipsticks thought.
I've got the same issue with the Nars concealer. I also have dry skin. I'm jusing it for spot concealing only.
same here!! im fair and cool toned and velvet teddy is so gold-brown!
I have very dry skin and eczema and the Loreal True Match only works for me in the summer when it's really hot and I'm dealing with sweat and oiliness. I wore it to the music festival Hard Summer (where it was 90 degrees in the shade) and it worked amazingly. Even with the sweat and the redness on my skin, it didn't look cakey or flakey. I think it's a foundation that's great for oily and normal/combo complexions. In colder weather, I think it's too drying for people with dry skin.
I have light yellowy skin (NW20) and I love Velvet Teddy when I apply it really lightly.
chendenise It works better on warmer skin tones - it turns more pink less brown! Lucky you! :)
Aww too bad .. It 's My favee
I think I may try the Vitamin E mist thing, I'm using the nyx dewy but as you said it doesn't really do anything. I use the fit me foundation in 110 which is very fair, but more yellow. But Rimmel match perfection light porcelain is very fair and pink if I remember correctly. Radiant creamy concealer, a little goes a long way, I have to be very careful under my eyes to make sure it doesn't cake up
Omg! You look absolutely stunning!! You always do but there's such an elegance about your look today 😊
I've heard great things about the Nars Luminous foundation (I can't remember the exact name 😳) but it just did not work for me. I look so yellow after an hour
***** Oh no :S Did you try the find another shade that would work better?
I didn't but I probably should haha. It's so expensive so I should try and get the perfect match :)
My holly grail drugstore foundation is Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in their lightest shade, it's amazing during these cold winter days ^^
Have you tried L'Oreal true match Lumi foundation? It has a pump but the color selection is a bit dark for fair skin and I have a love hate relationship with Too Faced Better than Sex flaking is BAD. Probably won't repurchase...can't go wrong with Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume in non-waterproof
She's wearing the loreal lumi on her face lol it's in the description
I think she is wearing it in this video! It's in her on my face info box :)
I appreciate this video, never feel bad about making one. I love seeing what works for people. I get annoyed when people like legit love every product they are sent.
You're so endearing! It's such a joy to watch your videos 😊
I'll definitely take your regretful purchases into consideration next time I makeup shop because as a college student, I'm living the broke life.
Mystic Reindeer Aw thank you! Student life is hard -_-
I love the normal wnw eyeliner. doesnt smudge on me, and I have really oily lids. Love from Honduras!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one disappointed with the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara. I love the way it makes my lashes look, but it was all over my lid by lunchtime. I also keep trying to like the Nars concealer. Lately I've been using an eye cream or gel underneath it with helps. I'll try the Urban Decay one when I run out of my current tube.
I like the first bb cream to darken up and sheer our foundation or as light coverage when I'm super dark in the summer (in the shade medium/deep)
that nars concealer is bomb,com apply it with a really wet beauty blender, and a reallllly light layer skin. i have normal skin and it works for me.
GIRL! I wish L'Oréal could just realize the need for true match lumi in c1. I can only wear c3 for 2 months out of the year and it's so frustrating. Some fair skin foundations I like are the Mary Kay luminous foundation, and the Tarte Amazonian Clay full coverage foundation in fair beige. It's matte, but doesn't cling to any dry patches I have!
Abby Harmon If I ever have a contact at L'Oreal I'll beg for all of us snow whites :P
I feel like the nyx high voltage lipsticks are super creamy too, love a lot of the colors, but so hard to work with !
The Nars concealer is amazing on my spots! Try using it there, instead of underneath your eyes.
I also did NOT like the Wet and Wild H20 liner. When it dried it clumped my lashes together and I could not get my mascara to look right.
I regret buying Velvet Teddy too... I bought it a couple years ago without even researching it and long before the 90's brown lip trend came back and luckily I've been getting some use out of it lately but I'm warm toned (MAC NC20) and it looks straight up brown on me too... And I have to say it's a shame you don't like the NARS concealer, it's one of my HG's, for sure. I went through a whole tube of it and haven't had the chance to repurchase it since here in Brazil makeup is hella expensive. Also can't wait for a new lip swatch video!
I did enjoy my true match foundation. Mine is W3 (a tad darker than my skin tone, but I made it work.) Too bad, you didn't like it.
I feel the same way about the Nyx round lipsticks. They're too creamy that they tend to slide around a lot. They had some great color selections though. Ugh.
Mac Russian Red was extremely drying. It's quite a popular shade but I just couldn't stand how it felt on my lips.
Hi Em! I get the same issue with Revlon Lip Butters and NYX Round Lipsticks :( some of them unfortunately are already in trash :(
Mysia6969 Mine are going there soon ;)
I agree with the Too Faced mascara
Not a fan of the applicator because it gets way too much product and clumps my lashes which is not pretty.
I got velvet teddy yesterday and personally I love it but I can understand how it appears brown on your skin! Luckily it is a lovely nude pink colour on my lips ❤️
You should try Tarte 12 hour primer moisterizer in Fair. It's amazing for light skin and it covers up redness if you have it in your skin.
rikki s I have a small size of the light version - I'll have to try and see how I feel about the formula :)
I am light neutral to cool tone and found the same thing with velvet teddy. Very brown on me and I mix it with other colours too.
completely agree with the Revlon Butter lipsticks.
Hello Emily! Pour les fonds de teint pour peaux claires, j'adore le rimmel lasting finish nude dans la teinte "Ivory" qui est la deuxième teinte la plus claire après "light porcelain". Le rendu est super naturel et la tenue est excellente sur ma peau mixte. Voilà j'espère que ça te sera utile. Ps: love your videos!
I use the Wet N Wild H2o proof eyeliner on only the corners of my eyes because the regular comes off. Then I use the regular on the rest of my eye. It works great for me.
The Nars concealer in Light 1 is the only concealer I have found that matches almost perfectly to my fair skin. Sadly it does crease slightly but I have yet to find another concealer fair enough, even the MAC prolongwear and UD Naked are too dark. The struggle is real.
I am also very fair skinned and I totally agree about velvet teddy! Looks straight brown! Another product that does not work for me as a very fair skinned girl with cool undertones is the it cosmetics your skin but better cc. Everyone loves it but their fair shade looks straight yellow on me I tried mixing it but nothing can help that when I have it on it looks like yellow face paint so disappointed it was expensive!
I feel the same way about the Nars concealer. I also use vanilla in the winter but I mix it with my Maybelline fit me concealer and it looks much better on the skin. I also use the warmth of my finger to blend it in. That's how I've been trying to use up the one tube that I bought. Hope that helps.
Elizabeth Torres I might have to try to mix it! Otherwise I'll use it up as a face highlighter or on camera! :)
I enjoy the Bite Agave Lip Mask when I have trouble with my lips, like when they are very very dry and rough. I use it only before bed so the stickyness and the thickness doesn't bother me. I won't use it as a daily lip balm, for me that wasn't practical for the reasons you mentioned. I really used it just like I would any mask.
I can commiserate on the Velvet Teddy problem! I love your channel because i have super fair skin all year round so i really trust your opinion. Personally my favorite brown toned nude from Mac is Blankety.
I have pretty oily skin so I'm not sure how well these would work for you but at the drugstore I enjoy Revlon colorstay. I prefer the normal to dry formula because it's lighter and easier to apply. Their whipped version has also worked well for end. These are both in 110 ivory. I also love Maybelline matte and poreless. Also in the lightest shade porcelain. It's very inexpensive about 6 dollars US. The only drawback is that it doesn't last all day. Maybe 6 hours but again I have very oily skin.
tobedamned13 I think I'm going to go with the Fit Me Dewy! I'll have to go check out their lightest shades :)
umm I have fair skin to and I have this light foundation that blends REALLY WELL and its from the brand santee in the shade and with it I usually use the elf clarifying compressed powder in light\beige and it makes my skin look so natural
I use my fingers for bb cream because it's so light and It will disappear (I've been there Sista). But if it's still not working ,put a little bit more than you need :) ❤️❤️ I love the garnier bb cream and that's how I usally apply it. Hope it helps love you💜
blushinbabe 101 plus I have a little bit of a darker complexion so it may be able to fit me a little better. I'll see what I can do to find u a good BB cream. CUz I love you so much
The bare minerals complexion rescue I wanted to love ! But it always looked weird near the mouth ( dry ) and it always rolled of in little clumps !!!! Every one loves it and I don't know why it doesn't work on me ! I had to return it and get the too faces born this way foundation ! See if I like that !
Amanda Portes Hope you do! I've been really loving it :)
Aww, it's so unfortunate that the Agave lip mask didn't work for you! I had a lot of trouble with it when I first bought it, but I did find that if I put a thin layer on after exfoliating before bed, I couldn't really taste it and I needed less Chapstick during the day. I totally agree about that Nars creamy concealer though, the Fit Me is leaps and bounds better for my skin
PS you know I watch you too much when I can lip read what you're saying while I blow dry my hair ☺️
