51 one year old dark skinned Black woman here 🙋🏾♀️and YES, I still use and love bare minerals powder foundation! It’s one of the only foundations that give me a skin like finish-this and Natasha Denona’s Hy-Glam powder foundation!
Rare was chosen as the best celebrity brand, and Selena created a truly cult brand and put herself in the billionaire category. What a successful, iconic woman.
Prequel is such a wonderful brand! The products are developed by a dermatologist and they’re really affordable. I’m so glad the brand is getting noticed.
finally got to watch one of your videos at the time of release! I think the naked 3 palette won because it’s a timeless classic, and the readers choice awards seem to lean towards classics rather than what’s necessarily new and trending currently. love you Allie!
Yes on bareminerals original foundation! I've been a bareminerals user for 20+ years. I'm 67 & I still love the finish it gives my skin. Please use some of their products again! I still use the naked 3 palette... it is easy to use & a classic!
You look so beautiful, Allie 💖! Always so kind, sweet, & graceful! Looks like you're wearing false lashes with the mascara you have on 😊. You are always a joy to listen to, & watch 🍃🌹🍃. Thank you, Allie 🍃🌻🍃.
NYX has an excellent brow mascara that I love more than anything.Difficult to find but Amazon delivers.🤩Elf has never disappointed me.Their brow freeze,primers and new satin foundation are winners in my book🏆
I don’t use the Urban Decay Naked 3 eye palette, but I did finally order the Colourpop Cold Stone Fox palette today and used your discount code! Love your videos, Allie! 💕🇨🇦
I’ve been watching your videos for years and love them! I am a Spaniard, and have warm tan/light skin…it would be so awesome if you hosted warm girlies to show us what colors you would use!! We can always take your advice for brands, but colors would be so awesome!!❤
I still use the Naked pallet and the cherry one too. I don’t throw anything away till I use it, and I have never had pinkeye or any problems. I use to try new stuff but not so much anymore because I have way to much stuff and no way of passing anything on. So I personally don’t like throwing away stuff I have only used a couple of times. Looks like these awards go to products people use all of the time.
I love how many people say they still use their UD N3 palette. I think what alot of the appeal is the fact that PM and ND palettes are too much for everyday and the regular person job/life. Not until recently has ND been giving us lighter/nude tones. ND is my fave but her palettes can easily be WAY too much for my office job. Also, no one has really replicated the color story of the N3 palette; maybe Huda came the closest. Anyway, I can see how a palette like the N3 is used a lot by the masses, there is a reason UD keeps making them after all. It’s easy to get sucked into all the new and I do appreciate the reminder to use the “classics”.
I am leery of these Allure award results, even the Reader's Choices awards. It seems like those who participate aren't up to date with what's out there. I, too, put more stock into Allie's end of year top picks!
These are results from Allure readers. I would assume the intersection of RUclips watchers and Allure Magazine readers would be small-- makes sense their choices are different from what ours would be!
Um…. It is kind of disappointing to know that brands need to pay Allure to get their products in the choice awards. It decreases the credibility of the award lists to me. In gaming world, it is called paid to win.
I have the Haus Labs foundation, but don’t use it much because I don’t love the shade I have. I really struggled to find the right shade in this line - very challenging for us cool toned girls. Can’t wait to try the trick of combining the blush and highlighter. I gave away the Rare Beauty highlighter to one of my daughters because it was too much for me, but maybe will try it with the Elf Halo Glow. I always learn something new from you, Allie!
I vote for the Allure Reader's Choice awards every year! They're open for voting about July every year I think. They give you a set of options for each category and you're supposed to choose your favorite. In the initial stages I think you can write in your favorite? But definitely not in the final stages.
My sister asked me once what the longest standing item was in my beauty bag and I feel like this whole video has that vibe! Full of loved reliable items!
me personally i havent bought a new eyeshadow palette in like a year you only need so many as a regular consumer so that may be why it seems like the same palette wins over again
Oh yes to BareMinerals. I finally figured out the trick to the foundation for my skin and I love it. Although I have to mix the two lightest shades and wish they would come out with more fair options.
Hi Lovely! To choose your "Allure best of the year products" you go on their website and pick from a selection of different products they show you - unless they've changed the system (I did it last year for the last time). I guess it's too complicated to ask thousands of individuals what their favorite products are, but sometimes I really picked a product because it was the "least bad" lol This is what I didn't do it this year, I felt like I wasn't being 100% honest. I know I'm boring 😂😂😂 take care ❤
This is off topic but I just have to say the at the Ravie blushes are my absolute favorite - I wear one every single day and I have an embarrassing amount of blush. The sleeper is the brush! Don’t ever discontinue these - plz/thx 😂
Haus Labs pulled a MAC and used the "color wheel" so warm gives you the pink/rosy undertones and cool gives you a golden/yellow undertones. It kind of drives me crazy because it's hard enough to find shades that match.
Watching Allie while opening my new Ravie Beauty blush. Holy cow! What beautiful packaging. And the formula is buttery and glowy. It’s going to feel like a little luxe moment when I put it on every day!❤
I just bought some of your lipstick and blush and I cannot wait for it to arrive! All of your friends are talking about how amazing your blush is. They are all so proud of you.❤❤❤❤
Even with swatching in store and having a Sephora employee help me find my correct shade in the Haus Labs foundation, I have still yet to find the best shade for me 😂
It’s funny actually, the Naked palette is so old, I never use it, I do believe better palettes exist, specially with better formulas, so I think you’re right, people just don’t buy new palettes haha
Your makeup turned out gorgeous! I have and LOVE the HAUS Labs foundation and the Rare Beauty blush and highlighter (used them today as a matter of fact). I also have and use several of the other products you mentioned. Thanks, Allie for another great video! 💕🌸💕
I think that people have a hard time spending a lot of money on makeup. So when the naked palette was trending maybe it was something a large populace went for? And now they’re still using it because the majority of people cannot go out and get a new expensive one even once a year. It’s just not a justifiable purchase.
The Haus Labs shade naming system is somewhat similar to MAC where C or cool in the foundation shade is actually considered warm by most systems. Also Haus Labs fair shades are extremely light compared to many other brands. I often wear the same shade as @AllieGlines and tested 060W, 070N, 0100N and 0110N.
I found that the shade 060W worked for me and Allie is my shade twin! She’s right about the less is more approach because a light layer has more than enough coverage for me.
Apparently, Allure selects readers choice by number of votes through a form that they create with products Allure thinks of as the best products. Apparently, they include a lot of “classic” products because Allure has already vetted those products. Seems like Allure Beauty Awards are not very accurate as to what is really good and what isn’t and they don’t spend as much time vetting newer products because it’s time consuming and costly.
I know all the Naked palettes were such a classic, but I feel like eye shadow formulas have evolved so much over time since they came out. I probably haven’t used a Naked palette since like the late 2000’s. I love the Makeup by Mario ones, way better pigmentation and blend. But I agree, for some people they might like the fact that Naked is more of a sheer formula. Maybe if they didn’t have such awful fallout I’d give them another go.
I used to be all about bareMinerals. I still use the original loose mineral blushes and liner shadows, some of the glimmers and glimpses. If I use the original loose foundation or Summer Bisque or other concealers like Well Rested, I use them over another formula to help "set" my base foundation or concealer. I do like some of their newer products like the lip balm glosses and Gen Nude eyeshadow palettes. I just feel like there are so many other innovative options for us now.
Allie, your eyes are so dreamy here; in fact, the whole shebang looks stunning on you. Now I have to get the foundation, luminizer, lip pencil and lipstick. Thanks Allie for the inspiration!!!!
Hi Allie, this is a fun video, makeup is such a individual thing & how or what we use that makes us happy, however I wish there is more variety( branching out)in what products wins Allure awards. Love Katherine xoxo
I feel like the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette has become so overrated. There are so many other choices out there, like Natasha Denona, VIEVE, Pat McGrath, etc.
It’s not a fair reflection. I find it strange how the same products keep on wining especially since we have so many wonderful new products out there. For example, we have so many new eyeshadow palettes and Naked3 is pretty old in quality and color range compared to so many other newer brands. Please bring back your monthly favourites!💜
I wanted to love that Paula’s Choice exfolicate but it made me break out so bad 😬 I also don’t have any of the naked palettes anymore because they were so old and I didn’t repurchase them. My faves are all Make Up by Mario!
Hi Allie, love your videos! Could you do a video about the new Dior stick foundation and contour stick. Would love to hear your opinion on that! Greetz from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
I recently purchased my second Naked 3 Palette, because the old one was dead. I absolutely love it, and I use it quite often. My other favourite is my Natasha Denona I Need A Nude palette. I own heaps of palettes but I use these 2 most of all. I wouldn’t mind getting the Mario Ethereal Eyes. The colours are similar to Natasha, but I just want it. It’s so pretty. I know it was a limited edition, and it’s getting harder to get here in Australia so I’d better hurry up!
I've been a mineral foundation girl for at least 12 years! on top of being natural, weightless it helped heal my cystic acne, heal my scars and skin I've been extremely extremely careful of what I put on my skin since I did that huge change! As I've been getting older though I've been feeling it's a bit drying for my skin during harsh winter months and so 2 weeks ago I took the plunge and bought the Lisa Eldridge skin tint ... We'll see how that goes! Other than that I was never an urban decay Naked palettes girl. I get why they were classics but they never were the best shadows around in my opinion. Back then I prefered the tart chocolate bar. Nowadays it would be Lisa Eldridge or Natasha Denona the quality of the formula, creamyness blendability... they are far better I feel. Same story with brow mascara! I've been wearing brow mascara for probably 20 years, ever since junior high, was the first makeup I wore, before it existed I would just buy regular mascara brown, and play with it...Loved when it became a trend and I could find better products, also loved it when they came out with the fiber formulas. However, I never loved the benefit one I have been an Anastasia Berverly hills girl since the first launch like probably 15 years ago XD Also discovered the Paula's Choice toner 3-4 years ago and i always have stock since then. Although I only use 1 night /2 i find it too harsh other wise but it improved my skin texture so much ^^
When I was deciding between Naked 3 and Born this way palette, I picked the Born this way one 😊 To this day I still use it, it's simple, yet incredibly versatile. I can use it for work, for a casual meet-up, for a date, for an evening, for attending a wedding... you name it! I think that's what, in this case, makes Naked 3 palette win Readers Choice for so many years in a row - people found a good staple palette that can be used in various occasions! 😊
I started using the Bare Minerals original foundation again a year or two ago. I remember using it when it first came out from the infomercials. It’s still really nice! I use it in the summer mostly, it feels like nothing on the skin and looks beautiful.
I used BareMinerals powder foundation exclusively for years before I branched out. I’ve been thinking about reintroducing it to my routine as well. I’d love to see you use it again and maybe how you use it with some cream products. Love your content as always!
Bare minerals began as Bare Escentuals in Los Gatos, CA in the 80’s. I started using it at the beginning of my makeup journey. It was a fun little shop. On Halloween people would go in and have their faces made up in amazing ways with all the different colored loose eyeshadows. I always loved the Mineral Veil. Regarding the Naked 3 palette - they last so long that I think the average person does not buy a lot of palettes. Remember when it was the Tarte palette? Buy hugs, Allie! Thank you for doing these videos, fun to watch. Have a lovely day. 🫶🏻
I have no comments on the Urban Decay Naked 3, because I have not used it. I’m just here to say I love the Patrick Ta Major Dimension III. Warm mattes and cool mattes with a very bendable formula and easy to use color story? Yes, please!
Hey Allie! Love your videos 😊 longtime viewer, first time commenting 🤭 I’m fairly new to bare minerals and I purchased the powder concealer. So great for my dark circles while maintaining a no makeup look
I have about 10 of those beauty items. Yes, Allie, I still use the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette, as well as others, ie: Natasha Denona Palette. But are these products 2024? Or 2023? Seems there are others better. 😊❤️🙋♀️🇨🇦
i think if Allure lets the readers choose their favorites from their own collection a lot of people might gravitate towards “the classics” or the products that won’t disappoint. it’d be cool if they also did another list of NEW products or recent launches
I have been saving all of my points all year 🤑 just patiently waiting for your Allure videos my cart is full. I went over my budget but it will be worth it 😮 I would like to thank you for making makeup so much fun. I love you and Ty 💝💙🩷
Hi Allie! I think you need to realize most of us don’t buy every new launch that comes out. So we have a few eyeshadow palettes and we stick to using them for years. It’s why the naked 3 is still reader’s choice. I personally use mine too. Even though, as you said, the formula might not be as amazing as N denona, the colour story of 3 is awesome. I find myself reaching for it cos it’s so easy to throw on and be out of the house in record time
Benefit gimme brow for me is great when you get sparse brows. I’m 54 and the fibres help to give me the look of decent brows. I used Naked 3 eons ago. My top fave is ND I need a nude. Would recommend to Naked 3 users. It costs about $10 more and well worth it xxx
I like Urban Decay’s eyeshadows, I find them to be very user friendly and forgiving. Eyeshadows that are insanely pigmented turn me off because of how easy it is to mess up with them.
I vote on the Readers Choice Awards every year! I get emails from Allure a few times a week, but that’s how you vote. I guess you need to be a subscriber to their emails for access.❤
Allie, I really like your content. I have followed you for years. Maybe I'll sound like an AH, but I think the reason you are not reaching 1M followers is because something I told you more than a year ago: you need to be more out of your comfort zone. Always the same background in your videos, the same makeup look. Try new things, queen. Anyway, I appreciate you do videos even when you're a mom and a brand owner. I admire you for that. ❤
My "classic" (?) eye shadow palette that I still use is the "Friendcation" palette from Desi x Katy collab with Dose of Colors. Most of my favorite eyeshadows are from limited edition collabs, actually! Thankfully none of them have expired. I actually don't have any of the products you talked about today, but that might be in part because I mostly prefer products that skew towards colorful rather than neutral, and I don't typically use blush, foundation, or concealer.
Personally, I prefer Allie's end of year Best Of series over any organized, sponsored award list. ❤❤
Same. Allie is way more in touch with makeup lover/consumers
Hands down
51 one year old dark skinned Black woman here 🙋🏾♀️and YES, I still use and love bare minerals powder foundation! It’s one of the only foundations that give me a skin like finish-this and Natasha Denona’s Hy-Glam powder foundation!
Hi! Is it good for dry skin?
I’d love to see colourpop eyeshadow’s win! They are the GOAT in my opinion!
Allie trying to understand the eyeshadow palette choice 🤣 same, girl, same. Loving this series as much as ever, girl!
Rare was chosen as the best celebrity brand, and Selena created a truly cult brand and put herself in the billionaire category. What a successful, iconic woman.
horrible human being unless you are into zionist girlboss terrible person with the best pr money can buy
Prequel is such a wonderful brand! The products are developed by a dermatologist and they’re really affordable. I’m so glad the brand is getting noticed.
I haven’t used the Naked 3 palette since the early 2000s. I love Natasha Denona now.
Came to saying the same thing…that I Need a Nude palette is hard to beat imo
I love Natasha Denona too. Don’t get folks who got the that Naked palette again.
ND's formula is stunning!
finally got to watch one of your videos at the time of release! I think the naked 3 palette won because it’s a timeless classic, and the readers choice awards seem to lean towards classics rather than what’s necessarily new and trending currently. love you Allie!
I agree with you she should not compare regular user every day with the one who do make up for living
LOVE Naked 3 palette! No time to watch What’s Trending……However Allie anytime!🤩🩷
Yes, I do use the Naked 3 palette. It's quick and easy for a pretty day look.
Yes on bareminerals original foundation! I've been a bareminerals user for 20+ years. I'm 67 & I still love the finish it gives my skin. Please use some of their products again! I still use the naked 3 palette... it is easy to use & a classic!
You look so beautiful, Allie 💖! Always so kind, sweet, & graceful! Looks like you're wearing false lashes with the mascara you have
on 😊. You are always a joy to listen to, & watch 🍃🌹🍃. Thank you, Allie 🍃🌻🍃.
NYX has an excellent brow mascara that I love more than anything.Difficult to find but Amazon delivers.🤩Elf has never disappointed me.Their brow freeze,primers and new satin foundation are winners in my book🏆
I love the Naked 3! It will forever be my favourite because of the perfection of the colour story. It’s everything I wanted!
I don’t use the Urban Decay Naked 3 eye palette, but I did finally order the Colourpop Cold Stone Fox palette today and used your discount code! Love your videos, Allie! 💕🇨🇦
You can def tell readers choice awards cater towards timeless looks and makeup. Honestly can’t go wrong. ❤
I’ve been watching your videos for years and love them! I am a Spaniard, and have warm tan/light skin…it would be so awesome if you hosted warm girlies to show us what colors you would use!! We can always take your advice for brands, but colors would be so awesome!!❤
I still use the Naked pallet and the cherry one too. I don’t throw anything away till I use it, and I have never had pinkeye or any problems. I use to try new stuff but not so much anymore because I have way to much stuff and no way of passing anything on. So I personally don’t like throwing away stuff I have only used a couple of times. Looks like these awards go to products people use all of the time.
I love how many people say they still use their UD N3 palette. I think what alot of the appeal is the fact that PM and ND palettes are too much for everyday and the regular person job/life. Not until recently has ND been giving us lighter/nude tones. ND is my fave but her palettes can easily be WAY too much for my office job. Also, no one has really replicated the color story of the N3 palette; maybe Huda came the closest. Anyway, I can see how a palette like the N3 is used a lot by the masses, there is a reason UD keeps making them after all. It’s easy to get sucked into all the new and I do appreciate the reminder to use the “classics”.
In a world that has eyeshadow from Natasha Denona, Danessa Myricks and Nars, that Urban Decay palette winning every year is definitely suspicious 😂
I think your brows look great with just the brow gel btw
Yes to more BareMinerals videos. Have started using the foundation again and wondered why I ever stopped.
I do use the Naked 3 pallet. I have other pallets, but for my skin tone, I always go back to Naked 3. Thanks for all you do. ❤
I am leery of these Allure award results, even the Reader's Choices awards. It seems like those who participate aren't up to date with what's out there. I, too, put more stock into Allie's end of year top picks!
It is more about timeless everyday favs of people who the readers choice awards about. Look at in that light
The average makeup wearer wears the same stuff year after year. We aren’t average.
These are results from Allure readers. I would assume the intersection of RUclips watchers and Allure Magazine readers would be small-- makes sense their choices are different from what ours would be!
Um…. It is kind of disappointing to know that brands need to pay Allure to get their products in the choice awards. It decreases the credibility of the award lists to me. In gaming world, it is called paid to win.
Called pay to play in the PR world! (Which 90% of all awards are)
I still love and wear the Naked 3 pallet. Love the formula and color story.
Hi Allie, I love this series so much. Thank you for continuing this series…❤
I haven't used anything urban decay for years, Natasha Denona for eyeshadow all the way! ❤
I have the Haus Labs foundation, but don’t use it much because I don’t love the shade I have. I really struggled to find the right shade in this line - very challenging for us cool toned girls. Can’t wait to try the trick of combining the blush and highlighter. I gave away the Rare Beauty highlighter to one of my daughters because it was too much for me, but maybe will try it with the Elf Halo Glow. I always learn something new from you, Allie!
Allie is right. They are opposite. Warm is cool and cool is warm.

I still use the Naked3 palette 🙋🏼♀️
My favorite eyeshadow hands down is Natasha Denona I have not used urban decay in years
This is off topic but I just have to say the at the Ravie blushes are my absolute favorite - I wear one every single day and I have an embarrassing amount of blush. The sleeper is the brush! Don’t ever discontinue these - plz/thx 😂
Remember haus uses a different color system than most brands
yes i am in my 60s and naked palette for working girls is classic work in medical field cant go glam during the day
Yes, please do a video with the bare minerals powder foundation! 🩷
Haus Labs pulled a MAC and used the "color wheel" so warm gives you the pink/rosy undertones and cool gives you a golden/yellow undertones. It kind of drives me crazy because it's hard enough to find shades that match.

I love and use all my eyeshadow palettes including the naked palettes, I think I have 4 different ones
Even with swatching in store and having a Sephora employee help me find my correct shade in the Haus Labs foundation, I have still yet to find the best shade for me 😂
It’s funny actually, the Naked palette is so old, I never use it, I do believe better palettes exist, specially with better formulas, so I think you’re right, people just don’t buy new palettes haha
Yes, I’m still using and loving the Bare Minerals. Thank you, Allie, for taking the time to evaluate all these products. It is enormously helpful! 😊
Your makeup turned out gorgeous! I have and LOVE the HAUS Labs foundation and the Rare Beauty blush and highlighter (used them today as a matter of fact). I also have and use several of the other products you mentioned. Thanks, Allie for another great video! 💕🌸💕
Haus Labs undertone shades are backwards like Mac. Warm is cool and cool is warm.
That sounds wild. Thank you for sharing this.
I think that people have a hard time spending a lot of money on makeup. So when the naked palette was trending maybe it was something a large populace went for? And now they’re still using it because the majority of people cannot go out and get a new expensive one even once a year. It’s just not a justifiable purchase.
I don't use my Naked palettes anymore. My Pat McGrath palettes are my go-to's. Love the creamy formula and the shimmers!
Yah don’t own or use the naked palettes. I’m a Natasha Denona girl now ❤
I’ve been using Bare Minerals since they did 2am infomercials 😂
Yasssss!!!!
The Haus Labs shade naming system is somewhat similar to MAC where C or cool in the foundation shade is actually considered warm by most systems.

Will you make your makeup bag collection in a Christmas red please 🙏🏻
It’s not a fair reflection. I find it strange how the same products keep on wining especially since we have so many wonderful new products out there. For example, we have so many new eyeshadow palettes and Naked3 is pretty old in quality and color range compared to so many other newer brands. Please bring back your monthly favourites!💜

Hi Allie, love your videos! Could you do a video about the new Dior stick foundation and contour stick. Would love to hear your opinion on that! Greetz from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Love your videos! Thanks, Allie! You look beautiful as always!
Very pretty finish on your skin. Love the lip combo too.

I started using the Bare Minerals original foundation again a year or two ago. I remember using it when it first came out from the infomercials. It’s still really nice! I use it in the summer mostly, it feels like nothing on the skin and looks beautiful.
Yes I love very much bare minerals.
I used BareMinerals powder foundation exclusively for years before I branched out. I’ve been thinking about reintroducing it to my routine as well. I’d love to see you use it again and maybe how you use it with some cream products. Love your content as always!
Bare minerals began as Bare Escentuals in Los Gatos, CA in the 80’s. I started using it at the beginning of my makeup journey. It was a fun little shop. On Halloween people would go in and have their faces made up in amazing ways with all the different colored loose eyeshadows. I always loved the Mineral Veil. Regarding the Naked 3 palette - they last so long that I think the average person does not buy a lot of palettes. Remember when it was the Tarte palette? Buy hugs, Allie! Thank you for doing these videos, fun to watch. Have a lovely day. 🫶🏻
Paula's Choice is fabulous, but instead of using the liquid, I usually use the cream or gel at night under my tretinoin and get even better results.
I have no comments on the Urban Decay Naked 3, because I have not used it. I’m just here to say I love the Patrick Ta Major Dimension III. Warm mattes and cool mattes with a very bendable formula and easy to use color story? Yes, please!
Hey Allie! Love your videos 😊 longtime viewer, first time commenting 🤭 I’m fairly new to bare minerals and I purchased the powder concealer. So great for my dark circles while maintaining a no makeup look
I love Gimme brow tinted gel and then I use the clear over it
I have about 10 of those beauty items. Yes, Allie, I still use the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette, as well as others, ie: Natasha Denona Palette. But are these products 2024? Or 2023? Seems there are others better. 😊❤️🙋♀️🇨🇦
Hi ☺️ I haven’t used Naked 3 in years. It is a pretty makeup palette though ❤
Yes i still use that bronzer, great vlog.
I love the rare beauty blush and highlighter. I have not tried using that way. Thank you for the advise ❤
i think if Allure lets the readers choose their favorites from their own collection a lot of people might gravitate towards “the classics” or the products that won’t disappoint. it’d be cool if they also did another list of NEW products or recent launches
I still use my Huda bronzers every day.
I agree, no ones using urban decay palette anymore lol
Lovely video as always! Have you seen Allure posted a list of beauty products with the most awards?
Hi Allie, I still use the Urban Decay Naked 3 eyeshadow palette, l love all the Urban Decay eyeshadow palettes, hugsssss ❤❤❤
I have been saving all of my points all year 🤑 just patiently waiting for your Allure videos my cart is full. I went over my budget but it will be worth it 😮 I would like to thank you for making makeup so much fun. I love you and Ty 💝💙🩷
Hi Allie! I think you need to realize most of us don’t buy every new launch that comes out. So we have a few eyeshadow palettes and we stick to using them for years. It’s why the naked 3 is still reader’s choice. I personally use mine too. Even though, as you said, the formula might not be as amazing as N denona, the colour story of 3 is awesome. I find myself reaching for it cos it’s so easy to throw on and be out of the house in record time
I feel it’s a good representation because an average consumer isn’t always about the new stuff, I bet most people stick to what they love
Benefit gimme brow for me is great when you get sparse brows. I’m 54 and the fibres help to give me the look of decent brows. I used Naked 3 eons ago. My top fave is ND I need a nude. Would recommend to Naked 3 users. It costs about $10 more and well worth it xxx
I like Urban Decay’s eyeshadows, I find them to be very user friendly and forgiving. Eyeshadows that are insanely pigmented turn me off because of how easy it is to mess up with them.
I vote on the Readers Choice Awards every year! I get emails from Allure a few times a week, but that’s how you vote. I guess you need to be a subscriber to their emails for access.❤
I do still use my Naked 3. I wouldn't say it's my most favorite pallette,but it's an easy everyday pallett.
These are definitely more realistic. People by that bare minerals like crazy. It’s a top seller.
I have never been an urban decay girl lol. Also Allie I feel like you could have done a darker eye look with the pallet ❤
Gorgeous as always!! ❤
Allie, I really like your content. I have followed you for years. Maybe I'll sound like an AH, but I think the reason you are not reaching 1M followers is because something I told you more than a year ago: you need to be more out of your comfort zone. Always the same background in your videos, the same makeup look. Try new things, queen. Anyway, I appreciate you do videos even when you're a mom and a brand owner. I admire you for that. ❤
My "classic" (?) eye shadow palette that I still use is the "Friendcation" palette from Desi x Katy collab with Dose of Colors. Most of my favorite eyeshadows are from limited edition collabs, actually! Thankfully none of them have expired.
I actually don't have any of the products you talked about today, but that might be in part because I mostly prefer products that skew towards colorful rather than neutral, and I don't typically use blush, foundation, or concealer.
