    This might seem a strange comment but I really appreciate that you DONT apologise about traffic noise in the background. Most of us know, or are getting to know, you live in New York. Adds ambiance. And I’ll reiterate how much I love you in natural light, and your natural skintone, when you can, gives a much better idea of colours.

    I almost returned the elf powder foundation after using it a few times because it broke apart my best foundations and looked heavy. I am so glad I didn’t return it because it’s my absolute favorite now that I know how to apply it! I put concealer under my eyes and anywhere that I need it then I dust the powder foundation all over my face like you do. It is extremely heavy if you put much of anything underneath it. On its own it looks stunning on me. I got the essence one too and I like it but I think Elf is better. May try a different shade! I got 150 cool and I think it’s more neutral. 😊

  • @ElinevanderLaan

    I also have the ELF powder foundation and have only tried it out once since I bought it about a year ago, because of the VERY yellow undertone.. I thought about using it as an undereye powder/brightener, like you also mentioned, but haven’t gotten around to doing so yet. That’s the only way I could imagine making it work though, because on the entire face it looks OFF!😅

    How I'd try the freckles: I'd use at least 2 finger "stamps" & make sure they look very different, maybe one w/ 5 average dots and one w/ 3 heavy ones (a lower number, but that will "go longer"). I'd do one stamp at a time & avoid tapping in a straight line. I'd alternate sides, jump around, maybe twist your hand around lol. Then, once most of the product is off, I'd tap elsewhere on the face, maybe the hairline since the sun hits there, too. ☀

    Maybelline tattoo shadow pots have been reformulated and are way better than they used to be as far as blend ability and not drying out in the pot so fast. It’s a much thinner formula, buildable and the shades have been extended and can be used as a Mac paint pot because they have matte flesh tone ones.

Don't like either Camo foundation either. So for me ELF is the hit or miss brand. Either really like or not at all...

    I agree with Sam Payne above-the freckles are actually not as bad as you think; I’m of the opinion you look fresh and youthful (which u are already Kelly😉), but just taken up a notch. Although these products you mention have low ratings, overall if something doesn’t work for or appeal to one, it may to many others. There are a great many things people rave about or it goes viral, I buy and try it, & it ends up just “eh” for me OR- it’s completely horrible. I think it’s subjective, IMO 🤷🏻‍♀️ You look great dear, go out as you are! Great video idea tho, most just post the “superb” items, if you do that of course you will look great every time. It’s nice to see it from a different angle, some people have to work with what they have or can afford, especially in this time of such high inflation 💄💋👏🏻❤️

    Would love your take on using bronzer for adding color vs contours with bronzers 🤎🧡💛🖌
    I just dabbled in soft contouring from the French MUA Andrea (can’t recall her last name) here on YT and since then your take on how cream bronzers don’t sit well on top of foundations makes sense. Andrea (and I’m assuming other contour peeps too) says to put the bronzer, highlighter and foundation on the skin in their places and then blend them in one at a time, bronzer last. The bronzer is going on the skin directly rather than on top of a foundation.
    So…are all cream bronzers intended for this type of contouring? But powder bronzers for adding overall depth and color lost after using foundation?

      Yup they actually have some good products. Mascaras are pretty solid, their old powder blushes are really good, new baked blushes are great, baked highlighter great, good lip glosses, great lip liners, absolutely epic nude eyeliner. You've given poor old Essence a bit of an unfair hit 😉 / Perhaps they just don't work for you. Products I liked but now don't at all are all the ELF putty things - except the Luminous Blush - the rest get really powdery and literally peel off my face, same with their Camo foundation...

      Essence is pretty good. Except for their bronzer, I haven’t bought a product I didn’t like. Their old foundation was good, their eyeshadow is good, their primer is decent, lip balm is nice, lip gloss is good,
