I stopped buying eyeshadow palettes when I finally realized I only have two eyes and I only wear full glam makeup two or three times a week. Also stopped buying blushes. The only I can’t seem to stop is lipsticks.
cutiegabbs I can relate lol. I wear lip products even on days I wear no other makeup, my lips are never bare :) I have a a future daughter in law that can’t buy makeup like I can so my makeup never gets wasted. If I don’t use it, someone else will lol
cutiegabbs I’m the same way. I’m a Lippie type of person. I LOVE LIP GLOSS. But it’s crazy just a couple of weeks ago, I was thinking the same thing. I have a lot of makeup and I don’t really use it. I don’t need to buy anything else. I AVOiD Sephora. And the makeup section in the drug store.
When I first started watching beauty gurus on RUclips and they would show their makeup stash, this was my first thought. Like seriously, how old is some of that shit?!
@@girlinterrupted9792 I can't watch most the collection / declutter videos now because I cringe when ppl say "I've had this for 5 months but havent tried it yet , oh im just gonna keep it to get round to try it" , thats when i get annoyed. because they obviously arent gonna try it under their huge pile of makeup , they are just being selfish by keeping it and not giving it away.
And before that shimmer. KKW was in an interview a few years ago and she kept saying "shimmers" and the interviewer kept correcting her with "highlighters"
I think even tho they have a huge platform also @juicyjas (jasmine) and @Makeupbyamarie (ashley marie) are bombass and always try to stick to a drugstore/cheaper makeup channel also.... theyre both amazing and down to earth gals.... ;)
Oh Honey! I'm old. Grew up in the 80's. We had no brushes, setting sprays, palates, and the only highlighter we used was on our browbone. Hard to believe it, but---we lived through it. We even used those crappy brushes that come with the cheap Maybelline blushes and---yup--we lived full lives. I have so much makeup now, it's ridiculous. Sometimes I want to throw it all out and start all over again with a Wet N Wild eyeliner, Maybelline blush, eyeshadow and Great Lash mascara and a Bonne Bell Dr. Pepper lipsmaker. Those were the days.
@@Nike2030 Me, too. I feel bad that these young women don't even know that they are lovely. They have youth on their side and piling on all that makeup is just silly. I mean---I get it. Its fun and fancy and all that, but Sweethearts, "Save your hard earned money. Get yourself some Maybelline mascara and a lipgloss. There are so many better things to focus your time on. But Gosh those 80's were fun!!
Mona Im always saying “I only have one face” every time I’m at the store and about to buy more makeup even tho my vanity is already over flowing. That usually snaps me back to reality. Also recognizing that if something isn’t limited edition, there is absolutely no reason to impulse buy it. Use what you have now and get it at a later time when you actually need it
Skin care is another area where we are getting overwhelmed with products. How many cleansers do you need? How many toners, serums and moisturizers! I think people don't do the research to see what ingredients are necessary for your specific skin type - and how many people don't know that basic information. That's where everything starts. Do we really need to be using $80 serums or $100 moisturizer?
I agree with you to a certain degree. I have put myself on a no buy skincare until I use up what I have. I do have so much skincare that some is about to expire before I get to use it. But unless it smells old, I will still use it. The part about you saying people don’t do research on the ingredients for their specific skin type: 1) People might not be accurate on their skin type. Example: they might be using a product that dries out their skin making them think their skin is dry not realizing it’s the product. Then they switch to a high moisturizing product that is also more than they need making their skin oily. I have very complicated skin on my face and have struggled finding a product or set that works. My skin is dry from not drinking enough water. It takes a lot of water to finally start hydrating your skin as it’s the last thing your body hydrates. Because my skin is dry it produces oil to moisturize it. Skin cannot produce more water, but it can produce more oil. I have acne along with it. I get dry patches usually where my acne is, and oil all over, not just in my T-Zone. I have tried products for oily skin, dry skin, combination skin and acne prone. Trying the same set consistently to try to see a difference, one day I’d be oily and the next I’d be dry. Some sets I’ve tried in the summer and wonder if it would work better in a different season or the opposite. So far, what I have found that works the best is a combination of sets. If I use an acne wash then I have to use non acne treatments after, like a hydrating serum, oil, moisturizer, then eye cream. If I use a cream wash then I’ll use an acne toner or oil free moisturizer. Or sometimes just an acne wash then an oil. The type of products and the amount I use also depends on the season. I need extra layers of moisture in the winter. The 2nd dilemma: the acne products aren’t anti-aging. The anti-aging might be to heavy and cause acne, but still help all the fine lines. What about one set brightens, or exfoliates, or detoxifies, or whatever else. There’s not really one set that does it all. Therefore if you have a multitude of concerns/skin issues then you need a product to combat each issue. For me, it’s trial and error. I buy my skincare when it’s on sale like the Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty or 21 Days of Skincare or Sephora’s VIB Sale. But when I bought them to use for a 6 month supply until the next sale and did that for 2-3 years, I didn’t realize until last year how long it actually takes to use up one set. I don’t think I’ve bought any more skincare since the Spring or Fall of 2018.
I have to disagree with the $80 serums and $100 moisturizers... why??? Because I used every skin care brand that walmart and walgrens have, and they do no good on me. Some of them burned my face, other dry it out even more than it was already. I even tried Proactive... thats absolute garbage, and a scam and it also burned my skin. What worker for me?? Tatcha products, sold at Sephora. Their moisturizers are $68, their cleansing oils are $48, one of their masks is $110, etc. The kit I bought of minis is $60 and it has 4 things... cleansing oil, rice powder, moisturizer and dewy skin mist. I can now apply makeup without my foundation breaking because of how dry my skin was. I can finally do that. And thats thanks to Tatcha $60 set of minis... $68 moisturizer, $48 cleansing oil, etc. Those products are clean, and cruelty free. Non of the products walmart and walgreens sell are clean, without unnecessary chemicals in them. At walgreens there is only 1 brand cruelty free and their makeup remover towels burned my face. Sometimes you really need to INVEST, and I mean invest in good skin care, not just a lot of crap with unnecessary chemicals in them, like for example Clean and Clear, Neutrogena, etc. And really buy good clean skin care, that obviously will cost a little more. And dudes.... I am broke as fuck... snd I mean broke as fuck... I just invest on skin care and hair care instead of buying a lot of makeup, clothes or shoes. Right now I dont even need to put on foundation, so a lot of the times I skip it, along with the powder and concealer 🤷♀️🤷♀️ good and clean skin care will do that. And a lot of times good and clean skin care comes with an $80 price tag.
I have VERY problematic skin and I literally use an oil cleanser, regular cleanser, serum, moisturiser and SPF. I add in prescription meds and masks where needed... xXx
@@mariogrenadine Well, some countries don't have very many Dermatologists and they are booked up with cancer patients so getting to see one is practically impossible...
Hope more younger people watch this , some of these makeup collections are beyond rediculous , yes I said it ! Such a waste of money and when they get older they will regret these Purchases
If something makes you happy i mean why is it anyone elses business what we spend our hard earned cash on? I dont feel like i will regret any of my purchases cuz makeup is a passion/obsession and probably always will be lol I dont have a huge makeup collection though compared to some I do agree though I only need one good product for each step of my makeup routine
I agree 100%. When your younger you think you need it all and you aren’t thinking about your financial future (speaking from experience). Several of my friends and I were talking about this not too long ago and we all agree we’d do anything to get back all the money we’ve spent on all the makeup we wasted money on. It’s not until you become older and hopefully more mature you realize most of this stuff isn’t necessary. I still like makeup I’m just not jumping on every trend and I try to use up what I have first. Most of it all looks very similar anyway.
Im "older" and I do not waste my time on regret. Especially such trivial matters such as makeup. When I do a declutter on my collection, I'm happy to give it to my sons gf's or other friends and family that would enjoy it. I'm certainly not sitting out on my porch in my wicker rocker, regretting mundane makeup purchases. Haha, how absolutely ridiculous! Life is far too short to waste it on such silly regrets as that 😂
I completely agree. I decluttered my makeup collection this past weekend and had so much of the same color and products. It’s just too much. I regret all the money I wasted on makeup I really didn’t need. I’m happy with the small collection I have now and that’s enough for me.
I am trying to figure out a way to do something LIKE a capsule wardrobe but with a makeup collection and show like HOW MANY looks you can actually get out of a smaller amount but I can't think of what to call the series or how to set it up. Cause you are right...dont need all that much :)
I'm in the process of decluttering my eyeshadows myself and I regret spending money on some eyeshadow palettes I have. For instance I had one sitting in my collection never touched it till this weekend and I was shocked that I hated it. That started to make me think what else do I have that I haven't used and possibly don't like. This whole decluttering started because I bought one very expensive eyeshadow palette and I love it because the blending was effortless (plus I invested in Sonia G eye brush set, she's right once you get the good stuff you turn your nose in the others) and I figured I had a very good palette let's get rid of others. My thinking is if I have two eyeshadow palettes that blend easy why do I need 20palettes
When you look at old make up products from lets say 1930.,it is so beautiful, the packaging is art by itself. And now, we have a bunch of plastic products and even though we have huge piles of it, we are still not happy with it, we need more. It’s disgusting honestly. So we need more videos like this!
Not really relevant, but that reminds me of how when I was younger I thought brow products were for people who shaved off their eyebrows and then drew them back on... I don't remember when I learned that you can have your natural brows and still fill them in/draw them but it was probably embarrassingly late
@@beth7343 because back then they actually shaved off or extra thinned out eyebrow hairs .... Lmao! Girls i knew back then shaved them off (including my own sisters) now they overplucked so much in life that they have almost no eyebrows now amd actually habe to draw it on now, or ot looks weord ! Thank god for my normal bushy natural shaped brows .that everyone bugs me for how i do it lol but they were just that way, dont even have to pluck alot either 😇😍🐁.
I felt the same way, my daughter would tell me "Highlight is life?" But then I found 2 that made a huge difference. Too Faced Highlighter Diamond is beautiful. And Nikki Tutorial has a collaboration with Ofra and her Glazed Donut highlighter is gorgeous! But I don't see having more than the 2
actually i just have 2.. 1 warm tone shade (peachy or champagne), 1 cool tone shade (frosty-ish). that's all we really need, to match any mood of makeup, throughout the seasons.. my 2 cents worth.. heh.. =x
My new weird obsession is instagram pages dedicated to using up their makeup! I’ve stopped shopping except stuff I run out of and consider holy grail but I decluttered soooo much and I’m saving so much more money. I love these videos you’re doing!
Candice Garcia you would love project Pan videos here on RUclips! Also search things like “eyeshadow roulette” or “shop my stash”. These videos are mainly done by smaller youtubers who are conscious consumers. It’s so much more realistic watching them.
That's how my makeup bag used to be. Now whenever a girlfriend comes over and sees my basket of makeup they're like "you have so much makeup!" And in my mind, I think it's not much. It's kind of one of my vices in a sense, but it is also unnecessary. I've been pretty steady with skin care so I don't have to wear a full face 6 out of 7 days a week. Slowly getting there lol
20 years ago, people weren't buying big palettes because companies weren't making them. Typically you had palettes that had like 4 shades. Maybe 6 shades. And they were definitely usually shimmers, like the UD palettes. This is because the way the average person puts on make-up has changed. Now we have people telling us about crease shades, transition shades, inner corner highlights. Before? People would just swipe one shimmer across their lids and were done lol Just like with contouring, people have gotten more savvy, which means companies have released better products. UD's Naked palette changed the game, and people don't give it enough credit. People saw that they could create a ton of looks with just one product. After ABH started releasing their $50 palettes, the palette crazy began.
Agree hunnyflash, I really thought she was going to say that it was UD's Naked palette that started the palette craze, not ABH's Modern Renaissance (which, to its credit, probably CHANGED the palette game).
Don’t know about all that. 20 years ago I used ALL the shades in those 4-6 shade drug store palettes, and did the highlighting the brow bone, shading, as well as the lid. Even as a teen I was well studied in it, I just finaly stuck with one brand and paid no attention to anything in the market for years until recently. I think social media had a lot to do with the uptick in these palettes.
@@LittleMolasses Yup, I'm 56 and when I was in my teens and first learning makeup I always used at least three shades. Not a makeup artist either, just love makeup and read a lot of Glamour, Vogue, Mademoiselle, etc. Loved the fashion magazines and makeup tips in them.
Yesss. Tbh Ive never bought multiple highlighters anyways because Milani has been my go-to but i tried using the eyeshadow in my Revlon Maverik eyeshadow palette and i like it better tbh 😂.
i personally prefer gloss as highlighter for the glowy look i feel like with just a few products and creativity you can get so much more done, no need to buy every single thing thats out there >
Setting sprays are a godsend for people who live in humid climates. I live in Australia and during the hot and humid summer months setting spray means my make up actually stays in place and doesn’t sweat off but nothing works as well as the all nighter.
Dempsey is my maiden name. I know, who cares? Lol but its rare i see it anywhere other than the famous Patrick Dempsey. So, theres that....haha sry ok bye 🙈✌
IIRC, Skindinavia made the setting spray for UD (same 17 ingredients including alcohol). What else has these ingredients? Hairspray! Back in the day, MUAs used fine mist hairspray to set models faces & increase wear time of bridal makeup. Same concept... film formers with quick evaporation. It was not a “daily use” thing & not necessarily good for skin.
Rose Meow, I live in the Peninsula City and we have six beaches within 10 or 20 minutes of driving-- it is so damn hot & humid here, except for January and February, so if setting spays do that, keep makeup in place, bring them on!! I'll go out and buy one! I don't have any makeup right now but I'm fixing to get some!!
Agreed Mili, I’ve always spent more on skincare than makeup because I believe it’s more important. But I am going through a makeup loving stage - too many eyeliners, lippies & blushes.
These videos have help change my life. I’ve decluttered my make up. My closet. My life. I have a new outlook since watch your videos. I’m glad I found your channel.
I donated or sold all make up and now I am only using the products I love. And I am so happy now!! I love make up but keeping up with everything just gives me anxiety. And plus!!! The masks up industry or any make up industry is designed to keep you in debt and wanting more. It’s like giving an addict their favorite type of drug.
@@mplefty515 Hi I am a bit curious! Have you donated by mail? How would we know if the package got there safely if you happen to do it? Thank you and God bless! (:
Bella Gunz Fitness I know! I wonder how some gurus like Tarababyz with these beyond massive collections don’t get anxiety over it all. I have a very very Way too large collection and I get anxiety from it but get so sucked in when u see a good sale
Stacie Cute hi! I’ve sent min to Project Beauty. If you go on their website they have the address to send it. You just have to make to bubble wrap it well. They so accept slight used products. They sanitize them and everting. And you will get a tracking number , you can email them and attach the tracking number to know if they have received it.
L D YES YOU CAN!!! You are NOT a weak beech, you a STRONG beech💪🏻!!! Remember that next time you're near anywhere they sell makeup at. You are STRONG and better than that...period, end of story!👊🏻💪🏻✌🏻️
omg I wish I wouldve watched this video 4 years ago when I started getting into makeup! seriously all through high school (grad in 2012) and my first two years of college all I owned was the OG naked palette, 2 mascaras, one eyeliner pencil, 3 lipsticks, one bronzer, one blush and the same naked foundation I would only use lol and I thought I was hot shit 😂 and then I started to watch tutorials on youtube and omggg I went CRAZY!! bought sooo much makeup for like 2 years straight it was ugh so nuts! and then when I moved in with my boyfriend (still purchasing makeup constantly) he sat me down after maybe 6 months and he was like listen, im not gonna tell you how to spend your money, but 3/4 of the makeup you own you use once and then never use again. and I thought about it and I was like damn your right! i went from having 20 eyeshadow palttes to 5, 10 foundations to 2, 10 bronzers to 2, 10 blushes to 3, 20 highlighters to one palette and 3 single ones. probably like 50 lipsticks down to 15 (i love lipsticks and you just never know when your gonna feel a random purple or blue lip 😂) I got rid of so much and now before I buy something I look in my makeup drawers to see if I dont have something like it and if I dont, I think to myself okay, am I gonna wear this once and then forget about it or is this something I could use everyday or at least 2-3X a week? has helped me save so much money!
Of course, i work in product marketing and if something sells well, there is pressure from company leadership to keep selling it. Positioning a priduct as "Limited edition" serves 2 purposes: 1) it creates a sense of urgency and encourages more sales in a shorter timeframe, and 2) it reduces risk to the business in terms of investing in trying new products in the marketplace to see what sticks.
I’ve definitely grown past buying eyeshadow palettes and I’m proud of myself 😭 the only time I buy makeup now is by waiting until they get hit hard with discounts like 75 percent off
I have a gold highlight, a pink one, and a more icy white one and I couldn’t imagine what I would do with more than that lolol I’ve had my gold one for years and have yet to hit pan.
Reactie S I always throw my liquid products away in that time frame because they do tend to go bad but I always use my best judgement for my powder products depending on how they perform, or depending on how they look. I feel like I can always use my powder products for much longer than what’s recommended. I think it’s a waste of money to throw a product that looks/smells/ performs the exact way 3 years later that it did the day I bought it. It just doesn’t make sense to me to get rid of a perfectly good product, especially an expensive one, if there is nothing wrong with it.
Alyssa Foels exactly! If it still looks, smells & performs the same there is ZERO reason to get rid of powder products. Creams & liquids, especially those used near the eye such as mascara, are a bit of a different story, but I don’t know anyone - including many MUAs - who recommend getting rid of powder products solely b/c a specific time frame has passed.
I agree with lots of what you're saying. However, I have moved on from palettes back towards single shades. I started to realize that I was lusting after palettes because of 1 or 2 shades. With all the fabulous Indie companies out there, I can usually dupe those shades, and at better quality too! Anyway, great video. Thanks!💖
What might be best for you is to use a cream highlight that gives off a glowy sheen but does not emphasize texture like a powder metallic highlighter would.
put it on your cheekbones slightly abive your blusher and you've got radiance! Everyone thought my skin improved w radiance when its just make up.. haha
for me it's a godsend. It gives a very editorial/model type look onto a normal face. Again technique is very important with highlighter. I think that's where you're messing up. Maybe try the setting spray highlighter. don't have to do much for that
me, a sephora employee: *HITS LIKE 1493203 TIMES* please can these brands stop adding new stuff? the shelving updates are honestly so painful to do and its so wasteful. no one knows but all those shiny new shelves at sephora? the brands send it to us in massive heavy boxes wrapped in SOOOO SO SO much plastic and bubble-wrap, it's honestly not even funny. it's shameful. i hate when brands have updates with new products. ive gotten so many box cuts and paper cuts and what-have-you from this damn job ;-; (im not a color artist btw i work in the back mostly and i swear its one of the hardest jobs in the store because these dumb brands are always updating these days!) next week theres an update for kat von d and im not ready at allll.... omg sorry for the rant i just had to be a dramatic leo for a minute!! 😅😂🤣😂😂😂
I've just started my own no buy for at least 6 months bc I've only got 1 face & I'm not even on RUclips so I'm not doing it for any reason other than me and I was trying to live like a RUclipsr
Girl, you cracked me up with the “Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” I say that all the time.🙌😂 Like, no..no. Thank you, next. I’m not interested in setting myself up for heartbreak on ANY level whether it’s a man or an eyeshadow.🤷🏼♀️
It hurts my soul the amount of money I see that I've WASTED on products I don't use! It was hard for me to declutter because I kept thinking you're throwing away money. However after the JH issue and expired makeup being focused on I had to realize the stuff sitting here is probably expired because I have so much! It's already been WASTED and holding on to it isn't going to change that. I'm glad to see this video because I need to do your suggestion of unfollowing makeup pages and influencers because that's why I felt I "needed" all this 🤬 to say I'm part of the group that has that too. And don't get me started on brush kits!! Have so many still in boxes. TFS I really needed this to help me further downsize and KEEP it that way! 🙂
I have never come across your videos. This is the first one that I watch but I could not agree more with all you said! Especially about the highlighters, exactly my thoughts 😂 Great content, thanks for a great video 👍👍👍👍
I only use two eyeshadow palettes but I mainly use a blush’s pallet by BH for eye shadow One thing I will suggest to stop buying is every time a brand comes out with a new foundation: you don’t need to go out and buy it. You can go out to the store and test it out if it’s the same as you other one and or if it’s not good for you’re skin type don’t buy it. NYX and Morphe came out with there foundation and like everyone bought it. The dry skin people ended up returning it do to it looked bad and that equals out to the return products got trashed and ended up in land fields. So that was a wasted of time, makeup, costed a lot of money for the brand and bad for the environment.
I remember when you said single eyeshadows were the best investment, rather than buying palettes. I listened and have invested in a wonderful brand. At first I bought Makeup Geek, Colourpop and MAC but have since given those to my sister-in-law. Now all I buy is Sydney Grace singles as they are my holy grail formula. I own about 150 in 5 x-large Z-palettes, and have extra medium Z-palettes. When a new palette is released I dupe it and use those colours for a few weeks...it really works to quell my desire for new palettes all the time. I’ve only bought one palette in the last 6 months (Melts Gemini because I couldn’t dupe it). You gave the best advice ever...THANK YOU! 💜🌸😃
Jenny M I do the exact same thing!!! I wish more influencers pushed this rather than always buying the latest palettes. You invest in single shadows you have all the palettes be fore they’re even released. For tutorials I use similar colors in my collection.
You got me. I have become a complete Ulta and makeup junkie. So much that I ended up with platinum status in maybe 7 months. I have so much makeup, eyeshadow palettes, brushes, etc, it is ridiculous. You keep it real and I appreciate this. Subscribing!
Havent counted my eyeshadow palettes but I also think I have around 25 and its ridonkolous. Im 51 and I already know I love mauves and pinks and browns, will never use the crazy color stories and as much I as I have learned a lot from many influencers I will never go out the door using any of their eyelooks. So again for mo no more buying but will shop my stash.
I don't use it all over my face, mix it with alcohol free toner and a light moisturizer for sheerer coverage. Takes me three times longer to use up a bottle.
Funny story, I had the same convo about highlighters with a friend last night. I love them, but they have a very specific purpose and you dont need a million of them for it. There's so many golden or pink highlighters a girl needs.
Contour and Highlighter was unheard of! In the 2000's. All I knew was blush! And Another thing, is that when you have 30 different eyeshadow palette, it's impossible to decide what color!! 😂
Hollywood has always used contour and highlight. In my opinion, the popularity of the Kardashians prompted the cosmetic companies to bring (push?) them to the masses.
Girl yes! those were the ONLY highlighters and they were so dang pale. I was so mad. I have overdone highlighters now, I've already declared a no highlighter buy!
agree! plus highlighters are used so little no need those big compact stuff or liquidy stuff that you use just a drop of. just use a shimmer eyeshadow will do the trick.
2 Things: 1) Everything old being new again, I remember in the early 90’s when single shadows were revolutionary to address the same issues (disproportionate use of shade) of palettes. I was actually surprised when palettes made such a huge comeback. 2) For all the availability of highlighter very few people know how to use it. Highlighting your whole face is as beneficial as highlighting the whole page of a textbook. Rather than drawing attention to your most flattering features, it’s one distracting mess.
You had me nodding my head right away! I literally am just discovering highlighter so I am way late to the game! I bought the amrezy hype and I find it disappointing so selling it. I am loving the anastasia highlighters from the sundipped palette and I have 3 thats it. I don't want to own anymore till I finish up the ones I have! Same with eyeshadow palettes I have bought one lately thats it. I have makeup fatigue lately to be honest. I have been project panning and trying to really condense and curate my collection. I still buy some things but trying to be conscious about my spending on makeup. Preach this needs to be more popular and its become okay to spend so much on makeup and for me I am like nah there are better ways to spend that money. One thing I think people own too much of is blush and lipstick as well. Its so hard to use both of those things up!
Just watched this today, after having gone toUlta and purchasing - a setting spray - a highlighter I just feel really called out and exposed right now 😰
Brittany K, ...Enjoy your purchases! You must have had a certain look in mind to go with some other makeup you have when you bought these things. So go ahead and use what you bought and if you really think you can do with less , in the future, just cut down on buying things but don't suffer over this--- it's not worth it--- you can change without beating yourself up!!
Thank you for the video , I need to see this type of video like every day . its just so hard to say no to all this new launches and more you get into it more you are obsessed and end of the day all highlighters, all blushes , all eyeshadows, all lipstick does same thing. you dont need every possible brands lipstick and eyeshadow and highlighters. After even collecting so many diff types and brands you do use some few and it comes back to neutrals.
i 100% back you up with this! even as a sephora employee with so many options, i always go back to Mary Lou 'cause she's the best :D (for my light skin, anyway. i know really pale people might find it too yellow and people with deeper skin tones wouldnt reach for that color lol 😂)
@@soofriends thats good for you! I'm glad it works out for you! I know many people who can't wear it but i'm glad it does for you personally. It's a beautiful highlight.
blondambition1223 I think it’s because palettes are typically cheaper per shadow, also, because they’re convenient? I have singles that I love but never reach for because it’s easier to grab for a whole palette where the colors already go together for the most part.
@@YouBeTheHero That's why I buy palettes, because it's cheaper per shadows. I also only buy palettes if I know I'll use the majority of the shades (and attempt to use all of the shades).
Right?! Before I started watching all these beauty guru videos and became obsessed with makeup, very recently btw lol, my go to and only eyeshadows I owned were Almay trios....3 colors, lid, crease and browbone....1 for blue eyes, 1 for green, bc mine can go either way.....now I've got the JH vault, 7 BH pallettes, and 2 Crown ones on the way as we speak!!! Lol....so glad I found this gal to bring me back to reality!!!
@@katelynnyangweso2961 RIIIIIIIGHT ! i wish i saw this video a year ago. Every month i pay my AMEX bill im paying for all the damn pallets, eyeshadow primers, blushes, and whatever ELSE the girl at Ulta used & told me i needed.....that i never use. Ugh. I suck, LoL. 😝 It NEVER comes out the same at home Its all practice and learning by mistakes. (Mistake #1 = buyimg shit u wont use.)
You are dishing out excellent advice. I am guilty of possessing too many cosmetics....thanks to RUclips influence and my love for cosmetics. I am proud to say I have not bought any new makeup in a year. The commercialism and consumerism of the cosmetic industry is out of control. Marketing will LIE to you...it is pure BS that powders "expire". They WANT you to keep buying.... It is easy for youtubers to say they are on a "no buy" when they receive full collections in PR. A channel with 77k subscribers gets a crap ton of freebies. I would bet you have an Alex 9 (or 2) plus several smaller storage for brushes, lippies, and perfumes....all for a collection out of control. I get it, though, cosmetics and RUclips is your job. This is my first time watching you. I'm not judging you. I just know how it is. I subscribed to see how much you declutter and to see you you begin using up what you have.....I'm a skeptic subscriber. Hope you prove me wrong!
I related to this video in a major way--it's the first time I've encountered you here on YT and I can tell I will enjoy following you. I agree with every category you mentioned. I sold Mary Kay for five years and when you're in that cult, you never use any other brand. When I quit last year, I went bananas building a non-MK makeup collection. By the end of the year I had twenty (thirty?) odd palettes, tons of brushes, samples from subscription boxes, soooo many new primers, etc. etc. This year I've been choosier and I've found I enjoy using what I have and picking up new products sparingly. It's made me more excited when I DO get new stuff. Following RUclipsrs like Samantha Ravndahl and Kelly Gooch has helped too--Sam buys lots of stuff but no longer gets PR, so her content is more unique than many people's (and the things she recommends are really truly great), and Kelly shops her stash and keeps her purchases under control. It's inspired me to do the same.
The honesty in this video was refreshing. Everything you said, no one can argue with tbh. I have spent so much money on makeup and just recently have kinda narrowed down my “regulars”.
I love these videos. I usually dont buy new makeup bc i cant afford it.. mainly bc i spent money on products bc someone said this great buy it. And its crap. I appreciate you being real.
I finally bought the one UD eyeshadow palette I've wanted since it launched. I CANNOT keep buying stuff, it's ridiculous. I've been purging & giving away my makeup, gotta get back to basics. YOU are freaking hilarious btw & freaking brilliant 😘
THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS FOR ME IS .. "ITS ALL IN OUR BRAIN... WE CAN CONTROL IT TO STOP SOMTHING OR CONTINUE SOMTHING " WE HAVE TO HAVE CONTROL ON OUR BRAIN...NOTHING else ..✌who agrees hit like😊
I LOVE that she's super aware of all makeup trends but chooses to not be wasteful. What a queen. Plus she clearly didn't need a lot of products to look that good.
🙌🏾 This is the kind of content I can get behind. I’m not buying makeup this month and I’ve found that unfollowing brands + beauty youtubers + influencers makes a world of difference. I found myself being annoyed with the consumerism that social media marketing encourages. I’m over it! Thank you for this.
Omg! My daughter and I was just talking about this last night! We were at Ulta and I was just looking around and bought another “ primer” came home and thought how many primers do I need? And I am never buying another eyeshadow palette! So sick of orange and reds and rust and browns and their all the same just a shade or two darker or lighter in those big expensive pallets!! And Brushes!! I’ve got foundations that I apply with just my simple fingers and then go back over with a cheap beauty blender. And get more compliments on my skin!! So happy to hear a you tuber tell the truth! Thank you!! I love you!
Thank you so much! You don’t know what comments about my insides mean to me...as opposed to the external kind of things much of what I do is about. If that makes sense. Was that dumb? Did I just kill the charade? 😂😂😂
I can’t agree with you more on all of your points. There is a massive marketing push in the cosmetics industry to accumulate SO MUCH MAKEUP that it defies imagination that we can be taken in year after year. I made the decision to get off the buying train and feel much happier now. I do buy some things that appeal to me, like trying out a new formula. But seriously, I have far, far too much stuff to keep accumulating. Great great video!!
I like LE items for the same exact reason you mentioned: it’s here only for a while. So it ends up being tempting and exciting instead of some basics that are always there. (they get discontinued too, of course, but later)
I. AGREE. WITH. EVERYTHING. YOU. SAID. IN. THIS VIDEO. YAS GIRL! I'm also on No Buy 2019 for makeup and those 6 products you mentioned are correct. Consumers like us don't need to join the bandwagon of buying all these makeup if we only use like 10% of these on a daily basis. I'm really glad RUclips recommended videos of no buy for 2019 because it really helped me a lot on my spending and finance. Also you made great points on this video, especially the eyeshadows, limited edition items and the brushes. Like you, I tend to use my individual brushes more than my brush sets Overall, great video, great topic to share on your platform. A little add on, you remind me of Ashley Graham. 😀❤️
I LOVED this video! I became a "minimalist" makeup owner two years ago. I have a roll up makeup carrier with four pockets that hangs from my bathroom door. Everything has to fit in this or it doesn't make the cut. I actually only own one highlighter. I am very fair and 57 so I don't need a lot of "sparkle"👍 It is from Elf... but I also love Catrice products-especially their concealer. Since I am older, I only use matte cream eyeshadows, so that means I don't need any eyeshadow palettes. YES!! Favorite setting sprays? The Catrice dewy and Milani Make It Last setting sprays. New subscriber!!
This is the first vid of yours that I've seen, I really enjoyed it; your sense of humor cracks me up!! I'm with you on the shadow palette idea. Truth be told, I don't own a shadow palette as I have tons of singles; I prefer square vs. round pans, you can fit more in a refillable palette. For single shadows or folks who de-pan, check out the SALT NY Palette, it's stunning! Thanks for your work, and I look forward to checking out more of your videos! www.saltnewyork.com
Vashti Ramsaroop Same here! Glad I stopped by to watch Whitney’s video. I have been trying to do a no buy since 2019 started and I have not been very successful thus far. Anytime certain favorite cosmetic lines have 30-50% off sales I cave! I love saving $ on things!! But the ultimate way to save is not to spend at all, right? I definitely needed inspiration and a different perspective on things. I think I have found that here today, thanks to Whitney’s common sense approach and her funny but frank observations. (But then again, only time will tell.) Wish me luck, fellow beauty lovers! ;-)
Connie Martin SO MANY are here for the same reason!!! Stay strong..it’s super hard. So easy to get sucked in. Stay off tutorials & hauls on RUclips but more importantly..actually MOST IMPORTANTLY: unsubscribe from all makeup emails & turn off notifications for apps or better yet delete apps esp with credit card stored, BIG TROUBLE! All the best❤️
I never comment on these videos, but this chick is the real deal. I'm sick of watching these people use gazillions of new products. I sold cosmetics & it's all about selling/pushing the latest product. Thanks for the honesty.
I stopped buying eyeshadow palettes when I finally realized I only have two eyes and I only wear full glam makeup two or three times a week. Also stopped buying blushes. The only I can’t seem to stop is lipsticks.
cutiegabbs I can relate lol. I wear lip products even on days I wear no other makeup, my lips are never bare :) I have a a future daughter in law that can’t buy makeup like I can so my makeup never gets wasted. If I don’t use it, someone else will lol
cutiegabbs yep. Me too.
cutiegabbs I’m the same way. I’m a Lippie type of person. I LOVE LIP GLOSS. But it’s crazy just a couple of weeks ago, I was thinking the same thing. I have a lot of makeup and I don’t really use it. I don’t need to buy anything else. I AVOiD Sephora. And the makeup section in the drug store.
Same. I don't even wear glam if I don't have an occasion which is only couple of times a year. But lipstick is what I wear most often.
I need more blush
Let’s not forget make up EXPIRES ladies!!!! I don’t understand why having 30 + concealers and foundations is a thing like no 🤢
Because bitches are getting them for free lol 😂....while us normal gals spends hard earn coin 🤷🏾♀️
When I first started watching beauty gurus on RUclips and they would show their makeup stash, this was my first thought. Like seriously, how old is some of that shit?!
@@girlinterrupted9792 I can't watch most the collection / declutter videos now because I cringe when ppl say "I've had this for 5 months but havent tried it yet , oh im just gonna keep it to get round to try it" , thats when i get annoyed. because they obviously arent gonna try it under their huge pile of makeup , they are just being selfish by keeping it and not giving it away.
@@stephanieroylance5033 finally....i found someone else that thinks the same thing !! I can understand keeping SOME...but come ON !! Geez. 😂
@@sylvia5312 TRUE
3:31 Does anyone else remember that before highlighting became popular, it used to be called luminizer or illuminator?
And before that shimmer. KKW was in an interview a few years ago and she kept saying "shimmers" and the interviewer kept correcting her with "highlighters"
Remember mac strobe cream ? Still one of the best out there, been around for so long! I had no idea what id use a shiny cream for back then.
I can remember before when highlighter and contour wasn't a thing
Don’t remember that- I’m not that old
Many brands went back to calling it that
Pro tip: being broke. That is key.
Edit: Thank you for the likes 😆
This comment made my day! LMAO

Works like a charm. I do not recommend.
FINALLY! A down-to-earth beauty! telling us how to save our money! THIS IS WHAT WE NEED!
If you want a hardcore low-buy/no- buy reality check, you should check out Lucia Tepper's videos.

Absolutely! She's gorgeous & smart! Someone I can stand by!
Oh Honey! I'm old. Grew up in the 80's. We had no brushes, setting sprays, palates, and the only highlighter we used was on our browbone. Hard to believe it, but---we lived through it. We even used those crappy brushes that come with the cheap Maybelline blushes and---yup--we lived full lives. I have so much makeup now, it's ridiculous. Sometimes I want to throw it all out and start all over again with a Wet N Wild eyeliner, Maybelline blush, eyeshadow and Great Lash mascara and a Bonne Bell Dr. Pepper lipsmaker. Those were the days.
That Dr. Pepper Lip Smacker is Iconic! Nothing that’s out today can top it! 😂😂😂

@@Nike2030 Me, too. I feel bad that these young women don't even know that they are lovely. They have youth on their side and piling on all that makeup is just silly. I mean---I get it.

But Gosh those 80's were fun!!
I miss Ultima makeup!
“You only have two eyes and 24 hours in a day” 😂 So true!!! Such perspective thank you so much 😊
Mona Im always saying “I only have one face” every time I’m at the store and about to buy more makeup even tho my vanity is already over flowing. That usually snaps me back to reality. Also recognizing that if something isn’t limited edition, there is absolutely no reason to impulse buy it. Use what you have now and get it at a later time when you actually need it
I can't make a decision! What color? By the time I figure it out it's time for work! Crap!
I agree. 5 palettes is reasonable though. Especially if you pan them.
Skin care is another area where we are getting overwhelmed with products. How many cleansers do you need? How many toners, serums and moisturizers! I think people don't do the research to see what ingredients are necessary for your specific skin type - and how many people don't know that basic information. That's where everything starts. Do we really need to be using $80 serums or $100 moisturizer?
I agree with you to a certain degree. I have put myself on a no buy skincare until I use up what I have. I do have so much skincare that some is about to expire before I get to use it. But unless it smells old, I will still use it. The part about you saying people don’t do research on the ingredients for their specific skin type: 1) People might not be accurate on their skin type. Example: they might be using a product that dries out their skin making them think their skin is dry not realizing it’s the product. Then they switch to a high moisturizing product that is also more than they need making their skin oily. I have very complicated skin on my face and have struggled finding a product or set that works. My skin is dry from not drinking enough water. It takes a lot of water to finally start hydrating your skin as it’s the last thing your body hydrates. Because my skin is dry it produces oil to moisturize it. Skin cannot produce more water, but it can produce more oil. I have acne along with it. I get dry patches usually where my acne is, and oil all over, not just in my T-Zone. I have tried products for oily skin, dry skin, combination skin and acne prone. Trying the same set consistently to try to see a difference, one day I’d be oily and the next I’d be dry. Some sets I’ve tried in the summer and wonder if it would work better in a different season or the opposite. So far, what I have found that works the best is a combination of sets. If I use an acne wash then I have to use non acne treatments after, like a hydrating serum, oil, moisturizer, then eye cream. If I use a cream wash then I’ll use an acne toner or oil free moisturizer. Or sometimes just an acne wash then an oil. The type of products and the amount I use also depends on the season. I need extra layers of moisture in the winter. The 2nd dilemma: the acne products aren’t anti-aging. The anti-aging might be to heavy and cause acne, but still help all the fine lines. What about one set brightens, or exfoliates, or detoxifies, or whatever else. There’s not really one set that does it all. Therefore if you have a multitude of concerns/skin issues then you need a product to combat each issue. For me, it’s trial and error. I buy my skincare when it’s on sale like the Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty or 21 Days of Skincare or Sephora’s VIB Sale. But when I bought them to use for a 6 month supply until the next sale and did that for 2-3 years, I didn’t realize until last year how long it actually takes to use up one set. I don’t think I’ve bought any more skincare since the Spring or Fall of 2018.
Agreed with so much money wasted on skincare you could save it for a dermatologist visit and get your skin properly fixed
I have to disagree with the $80 serums and $100 moisturizers... why??? Because I used every skin care brand that walmart and walgrens have, and they do no good on me. Some of them burned my face, other dry it out even more than it was already. I even tried Proactive... thats absolute garbage, and a scam and it also burned my skin. What worker for me?? Tatcha products, sold at Sephora. Their moisturizers are $68, their cleansing oils are $48, one of their masks is $110, etc. The kit I bought of minis is $60 and it has 4 things... cleansing oil, rice powder, moisturizer and dewy skin mist. I can now apply makeup without my foundation breaking because of how dry my skin was. I can finally do that. And thats thanks to Tatcha $60 set of minis... $68 moisturizer, $48 cleansing oil, etc. Those products are clean, and cruelty free. Non of the products walmart and walgreens sell are clean, without unnecessary chemicals in them. At walgreens there is only 1 brand cruelty free and their makeup remover towels burned my face. Sometimes you really need to INVEST, and I mean invest in good skin care, not just a lot of crap with unnecessary chemicals in them, like for example Clean and Clear, Neutrogena, etc. And really buy good clean skin care, that obviously will cost a little more. And dudes.... I am broke as fuck... snd I mean broke as fuck... I just invest on skin care and hair care instead of buying a lot of makeup, clothes or shoes. Right now I dont even need to put on foundation, so a lot of the times I skip it, along with the powder and concealer 🤷♀️🤷♀️ good and clean skin care will do that. And a lot of times good and clean skin care comes with an $80 price tag.
I have VERY problematic skin and I literally use an oil cleanser, regular cleanser, serum, moisturiser and SPF. I add in prescription meds and masks where needed... xXx
@@mariogrenadine Well, some countries don't have very many Dermatologists and they are booked up with cancer patients so getting to see one is practically impossible...
Hope more younger people watch this , some of these makeup collections are beyond rediculous , yes I said it ! Such a waste of money and when they get older they will regret these Purchases
True, I'm hoping we can all resist the temptation to buy things based on sponsored videos. (Pointing the finger at myself) LOL
Dee Flanagan haha same!
If something makes you happy i mean why is it anyone elses business what we spend our hard earned cash on? I dont feel like i will regret any of my purchases cuz makeup is a passion/obsession and probably always will be lol I dont have a huge makeup collection though compared to some I do agree though I only need one good product for each step of my makeup routine
I agree 100%. When your younger you think you need it all and you aren’t thinking about your financial future (speaking from experience). Several of my friends and I were talking about this not too long ago and we all agree we’d do anything to get back all the money we’ve spent on all the makeup we wasted money on. It’s not until you become older and hopefully more mature you realize most of this stuff isn’t necessary. I still like makeup I’m just not jumping on every trend and I try to use up what I have first. Most of it all looks very similar anyway.
Im "older" and I do not waste my time on regret. Especially such trivial matters such as makeup. When I do a declutter on my collection, I'm happy to give it to my sons gf's or other friends and family that would enjoy it. I'm certainly not sitting out on my porch in my wicker rocker, regretting mundane makeup purchases. Haha, how absolutely ridiculous! Life is far too short to waste it on such silly regrets as that 😂
Everything is so saturated. High end brands are constantly on TJ Maxx and Marshalls.
aint that the truf!
thats what kills me...when Fenty ends up at TJ Max im staging an attack on sephora...i may have a nervous break down lol.
I’m a little paranoid about that. Like if they’d ever sell counterfeit cuz it’s insanely cheap compared to the original price.
L V It’s real. Trust.
honestly I go directly to my winners (basically tj maxx.. same store /company) and if they don’t have what I want or need I THEN head to sephora. 😂
I completely agree. I decluttered my makeup collection this past weekend and had so much of the same color and products. It’s just too much. I regret all the money I wasted on makeup I really didn’t need. I’m happy with the small collection I have now and that’s enough for me.
I am trying to figure out a way to do something LIKE a capsule wardrobe but with a makeup collection and show like HOW MANY looks you can actually get out of a smaller amount but I can't think of what to call the series or how to set it up. Cause you are right...dont need all that much :)
Me too.
@@whitneyhedrick You could call it "basic makeup one can use at all times or that never go out of style" something like that.
OMG I had to declutter so much garbage I had in my collection. I am not going to buy anything I don't need. And certainly new fad things are a NO
I'm in the process of decluttering my eyeshadows myself and I regret spending money on some eyeshadow palettes I have. For instance I had one sitting in my collection never touched it till this weekend and I was shocked that I hated it. That started to make me think what else do I have that I haven't used and possibly don't like. This whole decluttering started because I bought one very expensive eyeshadow palette and I love it because the blending was effortless (plus I invested in Sonia G eye brush set, she's right once you get the good stuff you turn your nose in the others) and I figured I had a very good palette let's get rid of others. My thinking is if I have two eyeshadow palettes that blend easy why do I need 20palettes
My mom (who admittedly has great skin) looks gorgeous with just 3 products: lipstick, pressed powder and mascara.
I hope you let her know you think so, too. So sweet to hear ...
Less is more😘
I wish i have good skin tho
The More you have the Less you would appreciate what you have.
I really agree with you.
When you look at old make up products from lets say 1930.,it is so beautiful, the packaging is art by itself. And now, we have a bunch of plastic products and even though we have huge piles of it, we are still not happy with it, we need more. It’s disgusting honestly. So we need more videos like this!
There was a time when there was like 4 to 5 eyebrow products... and no body did their eyebrows lol
Not really relevant, but that reminds me of how when I was younger I thought brow products were for people who shaved off their eyebrows and then drew them back on... I don't remember when I learned that you can have your natural brows and still fill them in/draw them but it was probably embarrassingly late
Beth haha I thought the same
Hahaha so true! I'm 31 and only started using a brow gel like 2 years ago lol
@@beth7343 because back then they actually shaved off or extra thinned out eyebrow hairs .... Lmao! Girls i knew back then shaved them off (including my own sisters) now they overplucked so much in life that they have almost no eyebrows now amd actually habe to draw it on now, or ot looks weord ! Thank god for my normal bushy natural shaped brows .that everyone bugs me for how i do it lol but they were just that way, dont even have to pluck alot either 😇😍🐁.
@@native_beauty1340 I got bushy brows too, and I rarely draw them in. I guess I'm just lazy haha
I've never understood the highlighter obsession, they look pretty similar to each other once on the face.
THANK YOU!!!
I felt the same way, my daughter would tell me "Highlight is life?" But then I found 2 that made a huge difference. Too Faced Highlighter Diamond is beautiful. And Nikki Tutorial has a collaboration with Ofra and her Glazed Donut highlighter is gorgeous! But I don't see having more than the 2
I have one "everyday" highlighter and two more interesting ones, but I don't need any more.
actually i just have 2.. 1 warm tone shade (peachy or champagne), 1 cool tone shade (frosty-ish). that's all we really need, to match any mood of makeup, throughout the seasons.. my 2 cents worth.. heh.. =x
I got a Fenty highlighter and a Lime Crime highlight palette & thats it. I adore them! ❤
My new weird obsession is instagram pages dedicated to using up their makeup! I’ve stopped shopping except stuff I run out of and consider holy grail but I decluttered soooo much and I’m saving so much more money. I love these videos you’re doing!
I def plan to do more beauty trash where I show the things I am actually clearing. I get so proud of myself when I run out of something hahah
A lot of us smaller RUclips channels do it as well
Candice Garcia you would love project Pan videos here on RUclips! Also search things like “eyeshadow roulette” or “shop my stash”. These videos are mainly done by smaller youtubers who are conscious consumers. It’s so much more realistic watching them.
That's how my makeup bag used to be. Now whenever a girlfriend comes over and sees my basket of makeup they're like "you have so much makeup!" And in my mind, I think it's not much. It's kind of one of my vices in a sense, but it is also unnecessary.
I've been pretty steady with skin care so I don't have to wear a full face 6 out of 7 days a week. Slowly getting there lol
Yeah, my whole makeup ig feed is just panning community and some few brands that I follow. Nothing where people buy excessive amounts of new makeup.
20 years ago, people weren't buying big palettes because companies weren't making them. Typically you had palettes that had like 4 shades. Maybe 6 shades. And they were definitely usually shimmers, like the UD palettes. This is because the way the average person puts on make-up has changed. Now we have people telling us about crease shades, transition shades, inner corner highlights. Before? People would just swipe one shimmer across their lids and were done lol
Just like with contouring, people have gotten more savvy, which means companies have released better products. UD's Naked palette changed the game, and people don't give it enough credit. People saw that they could create a ton of looks with just one product. After ABH started releasing their $50 palettes, the palette crazy began.
Professional makeup artists were.
hunnyflash 💯
Agree hunnyflash, I really thought she was going to say that it was UD's Naked palette that started the palette craze, not ABH's Modern Renaissance (which, to its credit, probably CHANGED the palette game).
Don’t know about all that. 20 years ago I used ALL the shades in those 4-6 shade drug store palettes, and did the highlighting the brow bone, shading, as well as the lid. Even as a teen I was well studied in it, I just finaly stuck with one brand and paid no attention to anything in the market for years until recently. I think social media had a lot to do with the uptick in these palettes.
@@LittleMolasses Yup, I'm 56 and when I was in my teens and first learning makeup I always used at least three shades. Not a makeup artist either, just love makeup and read a lot of Glamour, Vogue, Mademoiselle, etc. Loved the fashion magazines and makeup tips in them.
You can use a good eyeshadow as a highlighter.
Yesss. Tbh Ive never bought multiple highlighters anyways because Milani has been my go-to but i tried using the eyeshadow in my Revlon Maverik eyeshadow palette and i like it better tbh 😂.
Very true! Some of my favorite highlighters are in fact marketed as eyeshadows!
i personally prefer gloss as highlighter for the glowy look
i feel like with just a few products and creativity you can get so much more done, no need to buy every single thing thats out there >
It’s how we rolled in the early ‘00s
And I use my highlighter as eyeshadow! AMAZING! lol
Setting sprays are a godsend for people who live in humid climates. I live in Australia and during the hot and humid summer months setting spray means my make up actually stays in place and doesn’t sweat off but nothing works as well as the all nighter.
Also for people with dry skin! Setting sprays help my makeup look less powdery and glowy.
Dempsey is my maiden name. I know, who cares? Lol but its rare i see it anywhere other than the famous Patrick Dempsey. So, theres that....haha sry ok bye 🙈✌
What are your favorites? I live by the ocean and it get incredibly humid plus i have combination skin so i feel messy D:
IIRC, Skindinavia made the setting spray for UD (same 17 ingredients including alcohol). What else has these ingredients? Hairspray! Back in the day, MUAs used fine mist hairspray to set models faces & increase wear time of bridal makeup. Same concept... film formers with quick evaporation. It was not a “daily use” thing & not necessarily good for skin.
Rose Meow, I live in the Peninsula City and we have six beaches within 10 or 20 minutes of driving-- it is so damn hot & humid here, except for January and February, so if setting spays do that, keep makeup in place, bring them on!! I'll go out and buy one! I don't have any makeup right now but I'm fixing to get some!!

omg I wish I wouldve watched this video 4 years ago when I started getting into makeup! seriously all through high school (grad in 2012) and my first two years of college all I owned was the OG naked palette, 2 mascaras, one eyeliner pencil, 3 lipsticks, one bronzer, one blush and the same naked foundation I would only use lol and I thought I was hot shit 😂 and then I started to watch tutorials on youtube and omggg I went CRAZY!! bought sooo much makeup for like 2 years straight it was ugh so nuts! and then when I moved in with my boyfriend (still purchasing makeup constantly) he sat me down after maybe 6 months and he was like listen, im not gonna tell you how to spend your money, but 3/4 of the makeup you own you use once and then never use again. and I thought about it and I was like damn your right! i went from having 20 eyeshadow palttes to 5, 10 foundations to 2, 10 bronzers to 2, 10 blushes to 3, 20 highlighters to one palette and 3 single ones. probably like 50 lipsticks down to 15 (i love lipsticks and you just never know when your gonna feel a random purple or blue lip 😂) I got rid of so much and now before I buy something I look in my makeup drawers to see if I dont have something like it and if I dont, I think to myself okay, am I gonna wear this once and then forget about it or is this something I could use everyday or at least 2-3X a week? has helped me save so much money!
I agree limited edition is a marketing scam ... 9 times outta 10 that “limited” products ends up coming back 🤷🏾♀️
Of course, i work in product marketing and if something sells well, there is pressure from company leadership to keep selling it. Positioning a priduct as "Limited edition" serves 2 purposes: 1) it creates a sense of urgency and encourages more sales in a shorter timeframe, and 2) it reduces risk to the business in terms of investing in trying new products in the marketplace to see what sticks.
I do one pallet at a time. Once, it's gone then its time for a new one. I'm very basic when it comes to colors.
Haydee Dawson my hero!
@@katyakotelochek2279 thx
The world needs to hear this!!! We all need to realize we only have 1 face!
I’ve definitely grown past buying eyeshadow palettes and I’m proud of myself 😭 the only time I buy makeup now is by waiting until they get hit hard with discounts like 75 percent off
Highlighters were the first thing that came to my mind..used one you’ve used them ALL. Thank you for this video🙌🏽
Thanks for watching! ;)
I have a gold highlight, a pink one, and a more icy white one and I couldn’t imagine what I would do with more than that lolol I’ve had my gold one for years and have yet to hit pan.
Alyssa Foels you should throw makeup away after 12 or 24 months!
Reactie S I always throw my liquid products away in that time frame because they do tend to go bad but I always use my best judgement for my powder products depending on how they perform, or depending on how they look. I feel like I can always use my powder products for much longer than what’s recommended. I think it’s a waste of money to throw a product that looks/smells/ performs the exact way 3 years later that it did the day I bought it. It just doesn’t make sense to me to get rid of a perfectly good product, especially an expensive one, if there is nothing wrong with it.
Alyssa Foels exactly! If it still looks, smells & performs the same there is ZERO reason to get rid of powder products. Creams & liquids, especially those used near the eye such as mascara, are a bit of a different story, but I don’t know anyone - including many MUAs - who recommend getting rid of powder products solely b/c a specific time frame has passed.
“You probably can’t use 5 eyeshadow pallets in a year “
*sadly stares at my drawer full of unused pallets*
I have only 1 palette, can’t even finish 1 pan of color especially when It’s pigmented. I’m a subtle look type of person
I agree with lots of what you're saying. However, I have moved on from palettes back towards single shades. I started to realize that I was lusting after palettes because of 1 or 2 shades. With all the fabulous Indie companies out there, I can usually dupe those shades, and at better quality too! Anyway, great video. Thanks!💖
Michelle Stratford Sounds like you’re actually in agreement then; she agreed on the singles.
I agree! Bought a magnetic palette to build my own from single shadows from multiple brands...colors I’ll actually use.
I never got the highlighter craze. I would never put them on my face, as they emphasize any texture and fine lines.
Dana Taylor that’s a skin problem not the highlighter beloved
What might be best for you is to use a cream highlight that gives off a glowy sheen but does not emphasize texture like a powder metallic highlighter would.
Caitlin P fax (powder makes my skin look weird so I strictly use wet n wild megaglo cream bc it blends so we'll into my skin)
put it on your cheekbones slightly abive your blusher and you've got radiance! Everyone thought my skin improved w radiance when its just make up.. haha
for me it's a godsend. It gives a very editorial/model type look onto a normal face. Again technique is very important with highlighter. I think that's where you're messing up. Maybe try the setting spray highlighter. don't have to do much for that
105 dislikes are from people who work for cosmetic companies
missmatch mishmash from me after making my Sephora wishlist and deleting lol
me, a sephora employee: *HITS LIKE 1493203 TIMES* please can these brands stop adding new stuff? the shelving updates are honestly so painful to do and its so wasteful. no one knows but all those shiny new shelves at sephora? the brands send it to us in massive heavy boxes wrapped in SOOOO SO SO much plastic and bubble-wrap, it's honestly not even funny. it's shameful. i hate when brands have updates with new products. ive gotten so many box cuts and paper cuts and what-have-you from this damn job ;-; (im not a color artist btw i work in the back mostly and i swear its one of the hardest jobs in the store because these dumb brands are always updating these days!) next week theres an update for kat von d and im not ready at allll.... omg sorry for the rant i just had to be a dramatic leo for a minute!! 😅😂🤣😂😂😂
missmatch mishmash bahaha YES
They can shove their pallets up their a*s
@@suziek888 LOL agreed!!
I've just started my own no buy for at least 6 months bc I've only got 1 face & I'm not even on RUclips so I'm not doing it for any reason other than me and I was trying to live like a RUclipsr
I feel like this EXACTLY.
Totally agree!
Depot your palette and then replace them with singles when they run out, you can likely dupe them at MAC or MUG
I agree with all you said! I lost interest in these things years ago when I saw the market was becoming over saturated.
Limited edition is such a scam. I can name several “limited edition” products that came back.
Girl, you cracked me up with the “Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” I say that all the time.🙌😂 Like, no..no. Thank you, next. I’m not interested in setting myself up for heartbreak on ANY level whether it’s a man or an eyeshadow.🤷🏼♀️
It hurts my soul the amount of money I see that I've WASTED on products I don't use! It was hard for me to declutter because I kept thinking you're throwing away money. However after the JH issue and expired makeup being focused on I had to realize the stuff sitting here is probably expired because I have so much! It's already been WASTED and holding on to it isn't going to change that. I'm glad to see this video because I need to do your suggestion of unfollowing makeup pages and influencers because that's why I felt I "needed" all this 🤬 to say I'm part of the group that has that too. And don't get me started on brush kits!! Have so many still in boxes. TFS I really needed this to help me further downsize and KEEP it that way! 🙂
I have never come across your videos. This is the first one that I watch but I could not agree more with all you said! Especially about the highlighters, exactly my thoughts 😂 Great content, thanks for a great video 👍👍👍👍
I only use two eyeshadow palettes but I mainly use a blush’s pallet by BH for eye shadow
One thing I will suggest to stop buying is every time a brand comes out with a new foundation: you don’t need to go out and buy it. You can go out to the store and test it out if it’s the same as you other one and or if it’s not good for you’re skin type don’t buy it.
NYX and Morphe came out with there foundation and like everyone bought it. The dry skin people ended up returning it do to it looked bad and that equals out to the return products got trashed and ended up in land fields.
So that was a wasted of time, makeup, costed a lot of money for the brand and bad for the environment.
I remember when you said single eyeshadows were the best investment, rather than buying palettes. I listened and have invested in a wonderful brand.
At first I bought Makeup Geek, Colourpop and MAC but have since given those to my sister-in-law.
Now all I buy is Sydney Grace singles as they are my holy grail formula.
I own about 150 in 5 x-large Z-palettes, and have extra medium Z-palettes. When a new palette is released I dupe it and use those colours for a few weeks...it really works to quell my desire for new palettes all the time.
I’ve only bought one palette in the last 6 months (Melts Gemini because I couldn’t dupe it).
You gave the best advice ever...THANK YOU! 💜🌸😃
Jenny M I do the exact same thing!!! I wish more influencers pushed this rather than always buying the latest palettes. You invest in single shadows you have all the palettes be fore they’re even released. For tutorials I use similar colors in my collection.
You got me. I have become a complete Ulta and makeup junkie. So much that I ended up with platinum status in maybe 7 months. I have so much makeup, eyeshadow palettes, brushes, etc, it is ridiculous. You keep it real and I appreciate this. Subscribing!
dorkygrrl Yep 💎
Havent counted my eyeshadow palettes but I also think I have around 25 and its ridonkolous. Im 51 and I already know I love mauves and pinks and browns, will never use the crazy color stories and as much I as I have learned a lot from many influencers I will never go out the door using any of their eyelooks. So again for mo no more buying but will shop my stash.
I stopped buying foundations because they expire fast and you have one face.
And you never use up a foundation before its expiration date 😂
I went through a bottle of foundation and idk how i did. That usually doesn't happen to me lol
I don't use it all over my face, mix it with alcohol free toner and a light moisturizer for sheerer coverage. Takes me three times longer to use up a bottle.
This is sooooo genius. More people need to see this!
Share away my love! Xoxox
I love these type of videos! Finally a RUclipsr who is realistic 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽!
Funny story, I had the same convo about highlighters with a friend last night. I love them, but they have a very specific purpose and you dont need a million of them for it. There's so many golden or pink highlighters a girl needs.
1. Highlighters
2. Eyeshadow palettes
3. Limited edition products
4. Brush SETS (not brushes)
5. Setting prays
6.
THIS IS THW VIDEO I NEEDED TWO YEARS AGO!!! I’m so glad you made this video
Contour and Highlighter was unheard of! In the 2000's. All I knew was blush! And Another thing, is that when you have 30 different eyeshadow palette, it's impossible to decide what color!! 😂
Hollywood has always used contour and highlight. In my opinion, the popularity of the Kardashians prompted the cosmetic companies to bring (push?) them to the masses.
Girl yes! those were the ONLY highlighters and they were so dang pale. I was so mad. I have overdone highlighters now, I've already declared a no highlighter buy!
agree! plus highlighters are used so little no need those big compact stuff or liquidy stuff that you use just a drop of. just use a shimmer eyeshadow will do the trick.
Im super pale too and none of those highlighters work
you know what. lol i should follow in your footsteps and declare highlighters a no buy for me.
I feel attacked but in a good way like a close friend giving you that tough love 💕
I would add to the list lipsticks, lipglosses, in general lip products.
I just discovered your channel and I’m so happy that you’re bringing this topic. Im tire of everyone pushing products on you tube.
2 Things: 1) Everything old being new again, I remember in the early 90’s when single shadows were revolutionary to address the same issues (disproportionate use of shade) of palettes. I was actually surprised when palettes made such a huge comeback. 2) For all the availability of highlighter very few people know how to use it. Highlighting your whole face is as beneficial as highlighting the whole page of a textbook. Rather than drawing attention to your most flattering features, it’s one distracting mess.
I'm surprised primers weren't on this list
Rachael Kay yes!!
Rachael Kay she LOVES primer
Yes! I have too many that I end up giving them away because I know they will only expire sitting around
You had me nodding my head right away! I literally am just discovering highlighter so I am way late to the game! I bought the amrezy hype and I find it disappointing so selling it. I am loving the anastasia highlighters from the sundipped palette and I have 3 thats it. I don't want to own anymore till I finish up the ones I have! Same with eyeshadow palettes I have bought one lately thats it. I have makeup fatigue lately to be honest. I have been project panning and trying to really condense and curate my collection. I still buy some things but trying to be conscious about my spending on makeup. Preach this needs to be more popular and its become okay to spend so much on makeup and for me I am like nah there are better ways to spend that money. One thing I think people own too much of is blush and lipstick as well. Its so hard to use both of those things up!
Just watched this today, after having gone toUlta and purchasing
- a setting spray
- a highlighter
I just feel really called out and exposed right now 😰
Brittany K, ...Enjoy your purchases! You must have had a certain look in mind to go with some other makeup you have when you bought these things. So go ahead and use what you bought and if you really think you can do with less , in the future, just cut down on buying things but don't suffer over this--- it's not worth it--- you can change without beating yourself up!!
I think you speak for a lot of us here Brittany. I guess we like to purchase things...just make us feel better. ;)
Thank you for the video , I need to see this type of video like every day . its just so hard to say no to all this new launches and more you get into it more you are obsessed and end of the day all highlighters, all blushes , all eyeshadows, all lipstick does same thing. you dont need every possible brands lipstick and eyeshadow and highlighters. After even collecting so many diff types and brands you do use some few and it comes back to neutrals.
The joke, Mary Lou manizer is still one of the best highlighters out there and certainly the one I use the most.
i 100% back you up with this! even as a sephora employee with so many options, i always go back to Mary Lou 'cause she's the best :D (for my light skin, anyway. i know really pale people might find it too yellow and people with deeper skin tones wouldnt reach for that color lol 😂)
same here.
Mary Lou is my first and only hightlighter that I own. Sadly, it's too yellow for my skin tone :((((
@@AngeliaMeow I'm native American and I use Mary Lou, it shows up well on deeper skin tones and you can still buff it out if it's too much.
@@soofriends thats good for you! I'm glad it works out for you! I know many people who can't wear it but i'm glad it does for you personally. It's a beautiful highlight.
I'm still confused as to why single shadows fell out of favor. Is it price point, or hype?? My palettes have so many wasted shades...
blondambition1223 I think it’s because palettes are typically cheaper per shadow, also, because they’re convenient? I have singles that I love but never reach for because it’s easier to grab for a whole palette where the colors already go together for the most part.
I dont get it either. Most palettes dont have my favorite shades and I can depot singles to make my own palette.
@@YouBeTheHero That's why I buy palettes, because it's cheaper per shadows. I also only buy palettes if I know I'll use the majority of the shades (and attempt to use all of the shades).
Right?! Before I started watching all these beauty guru videos and became obsessed with makeup, very recently btw lol, my go to and only eyeshadows I owned were Almay trios....3 colors, lid, crease and browbone....1 for blue eyes, 1 for green, bc mine can go either way.....now I've got the JH vault, 7 BH pallettes, and 2 Crown ones on the way as we speak!!! Lol....so glad I found this gal to bring me back to reality!!!
@@katelynnyangweso2961 RIIIIIIIGHT ! i wish i saw this video a year ago.
Every month i pay my AMEX bill im paying for all the damn pallets, eyeshadow primers, blushes, and whatever ELSE the girl at Ulta used & told me i needed.....that i never use. Ugh. I suck, LoL. 😝
It NEVER comes out the same at home
Its all practice and learning by mistakes. (Mistake #1 = buyimg shit u wont use.)
You are dishing out excellent advice. I am guilty of possessing too many cosmetics....thanks to RUclips influence and my love for cosmetics. I am proud to say I have not bought any new makeup in a year. The commercialism and consumerism of the cosmetic industry is out of control. Marketing will LIE to you...it is pure BS that powders "expire". They WANT you to keep buying....
It is easy for youtubers to say they are on a "no buy" when they receive full collections in PR. A channel with 77k subscribers gets a crap ton of freebies. I would bet you have an Alex 9 (or 2) plus several smaller storage for brushes, lippies, and perfumes....all for a collection out of control. I get it, though, cosmetics and RUclips is your job.
This is my first time watching you. I'm not judging you. I just know how it is. I subscribed to see how much you declutter and to see you you begin using up what you have.....I'm a skeptic subscriber. Hope you prove me wrong!
I don’t care about high lighter... I love bronzer and actual foundation!! Ooo and a bomb mascara yaaassss
Mac “soft and gentle” oh my gosh, you just took me all the way back. I bought one when I was 15 & I’m 23 now
I've never bought a highlighter. I use my light shimmery eyeshadows for that purpose. Thank you for sharing this video with us.
smart idea!! :)
I related to this video in a major way--it's the first time I've encountered you here on YT and I can tell I will enjoy following you. I agree with every category you mentioned. I sold Mary Kay for five years and when you're in that cult, you never use any other brand. When I quit last year, I went bananas building a non-MK makeup collection. By the end of the year I had twenty (thirty?) odd palettes, tons of brushes, samples from subscription boxes, soooo many new primers, etc. etc. This year I've been choosier and I've found I enjoy using what I have and picking up new products sparingly. It's made me more excited when I DO get new stuff. Following RUclipsrs like Samantha Ravndahl and Kelly Gooch has helped too--Sam buys lots of stuff but no longer gets PR, so her content is more unique than many people's (and the things she recommends are really truly great), and Kelly shops her stash and keeps her purchases under control. It's inspired me to do the same.
I have about 50 brushes I use about 12 depending on my look. 3 to 5 at a time.
The honesty in this video was refreshing. Everything you said, no one can argue with tbh. I have spent so much money on makeup and just recently have kinda narrowed down my “regulars”.
I love these videos. I usually dont buy new makeup bc i cant afford it.. mainly bc i spent money on products bc someone said this great buy it. And its crap. I appreciate you being real.
Thanks beautiful!
I finally bought the one UD eyeshadow palette I've wanted since it launched. I CANNOT keep buying stuff, it's ridiculous. I've been purging & giving away my makeup, gotta get back to basics. YOU are freaking hilarious btw & freaking brilliant 😘
THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS FOR ME IS ..
"ITS ALL IN OUR BRAIN...
WE CAN CONTROL IT TO STOP SOMTHING OR CONTINUE SOMTHING "
WE HAVE TO HAVE CONTROL ON OUR BRAIN...NOTHING else ..✌who agrees hit like😊
I LOVE that she's super aware of all makeup trends but chooses to not be wasteful. What a queen. Plus she clearly didn't need a lot of products to look that good.
☕️☕️☕️this is the break I need! My collection/horde is growing and a lot of it is limited w/back ups!
🙌🏾 This is the kind of content I can get behind. I’m not buying makeup this month and I’ve found that unfollowing brands + beauty youtubers + influencers makes a world of difference. I found myself being annoyed with the consumerism that social media marketing encourages. I’m over it! Thank you for this.
Agree with limited edition, especially pallets. It seems more effort goes into the packaging then the product.
Omg! My daughter and I was just talking about this last night! We were at Ulta and I was just looking around and bought another “ primer” came home and thought how many primers do I need? And I am never buying another eyeshadow palette! So sick of orange and reds and rust and browns and their all the same just a shade or two darker or lighter in those big expensive pallets!! And Brushes!! I’ve got foundations that I apply with just my simple fingers and then go back over with a cheap beauty blender. And get more compliments on my skin!! So happy to hear a you tuber tell the truth! Thank you!! I love you!
Exactly the content I’ve been craving! New subscriber here 😍
Me too
Me three😁
I think like you. New subscriber too and unsubscribing all the youtubers that make me buy things i DON'T NEED. Kiss from France.
I’ve learned to accept I finally have a hobby and my collection of eyeshadow palettes makes me feel ways a man could never make me feel
i know this is an old comment andi'm not sure how you meant this but i had a good laugh
needed this. i am trying to use up a lot in my collection this year. skin care & odds and ends are what i'm going to purchase this year.
This video is exactly what I needed to hear...you're such an intelligent RUclips you def deserve more subscribers
Thank you so much! You don’t know what comments about my insides mean to me...as opposed to the external kind of things much of what I do is about. If that makes sense. Was that dumb? Did I just kill the charade? 😂😂😂
@@whitneyhedrick That makes plenty of sense, I'm the same way!
OMG that hit memory lane! I remember when Mac soft and gentle was the only highlighter you could get! 😱 crazy how much makeup has changed
I can’t agree with you more on all of your points. There is a massive marketing push in the cosmetics industry to accumulate SO MUCH MAKEUP that it defies imagination that we can be taken in year after year. I made the decision to get off the buying train and feel much happier now. I do buy some things that appeal to me, like trying out a new formula. But seriously, I have far, far too much stuff to keep accumulating. Great great video!!
I like LE items for the same exact reason you mentioned: it’s here only for a while. So it ends up being tempting and exciting instead of some basics that are always there. (they get discontinued too, of course, but later)
I. AGREE. WITH. EVERYTHING. YOU. SAID. IN. THIS VIDEO. YAS GIRL! I'm also on No Buy 2019 for makeup and those 6 products you mentioned are correct. Consumers like us don't need to join the bandwagon of buying all these makeup if we only use like 10% of these on a daily basis. I'm really glad RUclips recommended videos of no buy for 2019 because it really helped me a lot on my spending and finance. Also you made great points on this video, especially the eyeshadows, limited edition items and the brushes. Like you, I tend to use my individual brushes more than my brush sets Overall, great video, great topic to share on your platform. A little add on, you remind me of Ashley Graham. 😀❤️
Thank you, I needed to hear this because I have collected so much makeup products it's crazy.👍👍👍👍
As Jaclyn just released a whole family tree of highlighters 😂😂😂
The Rimmel setting spray with the purple/blueish label is the exact same if not better than UD all nighter!
I LOVED this video! I became a "minimalist" makeup owner two years ago. I have a roll up makeup carrier with four pockets that hangs from my bathroom door. Everything has to fit in this or it doesn't make the cut. I actually only own one highlighter. I am very fair and 57 so I don't need a lot of "sparkle"👍 It is from Elf... but I also love Catrice products-especially their concealer. Since I am older, I only use matte cream eyeshadows, so that means I don't need any eyeshadow palettes. YES!! Favorite setting sprays? The Catrice dewy and Milani Make It Last setting sprays.
New subscriber!!
This is the first vid of yours that I've seen, I really enjoyed it; your sense of humor cracks me up!! I'm with you on the shadow palette idea. Truth be told, I don't own a shadow palette as I have tons of singles; I prefer square vs. round pans, you can fit more in a refillable palette. For single shadows or folks who de-pan, check out the SALT NY Palette, it's stunning! Thanks for your work, and I look forward to checking out more of your videos! www.saltnewyork.com
Vashti Ramsaroop Same here! Glad I stopped by to watch Whitney’s video. I have been trying to do a no buy since 2019 started and I have not been very successful thus far. Anytime certain favorite cosmetic lines have 30-50% off sales I cave! I love saving $ on things!! But the ultimate way to save is not to spend at all, right?
I definitely needed inspiration and a different perspective on things. I think I have found that here today, thanks to Whitney’s common sense approach and her funny but frank observations. (But then again, only time will tell.) Wish me luck, fellow beauty lovers! ;-)
Connie Martin SO MANY are here for the same reason!!! Stay strong..it’s super hard. So easy to get sucked in. Stay off tutorials & hauls on RUclips but more importantly..actually MOST IMPORTANTLY: unsubscribe from all makeup emails & turn off notifications for apps or better yet delete apps esp with credit card stored, BIG TROUBLE! All the best❤️
I never comment on these videos, but this chick is the real deal. I'm sick of watching these people use gazillions of new products. I sold cosmetics & it's all about selling/pushing the latest product. Thanks for the honesty.
This is the best video to watch for anyone who is obsessed with the spring sale at Sephora.
We're wising up to makeup overconsumption and it's great. It's about how you use the colors and formulas that you have, not collecting brands.
