I am grateful for you and all of the work you put into your channel. No one in my daily life cares about makeup the way I do, and some even devalue it. It’s cool to hang out with intelligent, creative people who have this aesthetic hobby. Thanks for all you put into the beauty community and the space you are creating for us. You're pretty awesome. Have a great New Year 🎉
Beautiful and spot-on comment, thank you! 😊 Such an intelligent and precise discussion about everyday beauty items that makes very clear why something is more useful for what exact purpose. Thank you! P.s. they all appreciate how great and natural we look, but snicker about the fact that this level of excellence takes time and study. 😅 🤷♀️
You don’t even understand. Your product descriptions when you tell us about the products and describe how they work, the texture, the wear, all of the figurative language and adjectives are SO EFFECTIVE. I’m never surprised at all when I pick up a product you recommend because it’s ALWAYS just like you describe it. It’s an incredible gift that you have and share with us for real!!
When I get burned out on makeup videos, I never will turn away one of your videos Amanda. Keep on doing what you’re doing because you are truly one of the best and most authentic influencers!
Fav channel of ‘23. I’d personally love to see more full face tutorials sprinkled in. Every lewk you serve in the swatches is stunning, and I’m always curious what the combos are especially with the eye looks and application
My favorite "Best of" video of 2023 - by far. I love how you analyze makeup and the details you provide are so informative and helpful, without being too lengthy. I really appreciate your channel and content, Amanda. Looking forward to your videos in 2024!
I bought rms maiden's blush this year when they had a great discount going. Fell immediately in love! Went back for sangria & crystal slipper as well as the luminizer prosecco fizz. They're my fav "powder" blush formula ever now! Anyone interested in maiden's blush & crystal slipper: you don't need both. They're nearly identical on the skin tone wise, maiden's blush is just "darker". Both are gorgeous regardless!
My secret with travelling with Natasha Denona shadows is to pop a few out (they are removable and magnetise) and put them into a more secure palette (the salt New York ones are great and literally designed for that). Has been a game changer!
I could not get down with the Merit Signature Lipstick ... Beautiful shades but each one I purchased had a Dollar Store birthday candle wax mixed with baby powder scent/taste that I can't handle. But the shade L'Avenue was MADE FOR YOU. Every time I see you wear it in a video, it knocks my socks off! 😍
I like Ferrero Coconut too. Back when I was small, my parents only bought it for holidays and new year times. It brings back so much happy memories for me.
Hey Amanda! It's nice to hear mention of the Basma stick foundation again! You and Kackie and a few other YTers loved it when it was first out, then I heard nothing about it. I bought one - a huge leap for me bc not only do I not shop online, I would never attempt to get the right shade in something I wear so infrequently. My usual "foundation" is actually a tinted mineral SPF with a light dusting of mineral powder, well buffed in. I got lucky with the Basma product, and it works when my rosacea has its moods. Love the video, also love that you're talking about some products that haven't been over promoted in this crazy year of excess. Now is the time for us all to catch our collective breath! Thanks for the video!
What a cozy video to watch before bedtime 😊 And I really trust your judgement on products, so I might get inspired (I really shouldn’t buy more though haha)
i SO appreciate your absolutely thorough research and trial/error, high/low approach! it's such a joy to sit down and watch a youtuber i know i can trust when it comes to reviews and opinions - happy new year! :)
I really think you would enjoy the ciate london vit c+ dewy skin primer. It is one the the best bases for makeup when your skin is feeling dry and a needs a little more than your skin care alone can compensate for. It makes almost anything you put over it look better. I dont know how new it is i feel like i have been using it at least two yrs now. Its what i always want to use and i have have some really nice high end primers.
I looove the Dior rosey glows my husband got me a Dior makeup bag set with it in it this Christmas and it really is worth the hype if you like natural make up or glow from within type of thing. 😘👌🏼 so good! I’m looking to get another shade in the near future ❤️
Menopause is killing my face. I had acne here and there in school...not much though. But now at 51 I'm making up for lost acne time. So I will try the patches Thank you for sharing with us.
Awwww, Anastasia! Such an underrated movie! I quote Bartok's story of how his nephew just keeled over mid-mango far more than anyone has a right to. Stress, it's a killer! I was in love with her blue dress as a kid. Okay and as an adult. You're so close to 100k and I'm so excited! You put so much thought and work in your content and deserve all the subs.
I love the Basma stick it’s so underrated, but truly the best stick foundation of all time is the Tom Ford traceless stick foundation. Best foundation of all time period!
Literally the only Best of 2023 video I bothered watching lmao. Also, you got me onto the Kiss Me Mommy sunscreen a few years back and it's been so great, especially since the Canmake Mermaid Gel, which was my HG broke me out all of the sudden!
After seeing this video, I am going to try the Tower 28 Making Waves mascara. But the eyeshadow you wore on that clip was stunning on you. What was it please?
If you ever used NARS Light Sculpting Highlighting Powder (Fort de France), which one would you choose for textured skin, the nars or this Charlotte Tilbury? Thank you so much for your in depth recommandation! ♥
Danessa Myricks Groundwork looks amazing, but I wonder if the Patrick Ta Major Dimension I can achieve something similar with the creams and powders. Thoughts?
You are truly the best in what you do! What is the eye shadow you're wearing while explaining the characteristics of Make Waves Mascara it is on 42:44 the color looks like maybe silver? Who makes it and the exact color?
Great video and so much effort as always, thank you. I just wanted to say that the Shiseido Radiant Lifting foundation made my skin texture look so much worse and it transfers a lot during the day. Do you have a problem with transferring?
I agree with the foundation review I use the self refreshing one but I cannot find my shade 260 cashmere I think they stopped making it. Is the new stuff as good as the others do they dry down immediately?
The Caudalie Oil Elixer! I thought it was just me that thought it smelled a little like BO! I strangely like it though! Thank you for letting me know I’m not crazy 😂. Also I have to say I love to watch you talk about makeup you love. I can feel your passion. You also speak very eloquently ❤
Hey Amanda, I'm such a huge fan of your content. I think you absolutely amazing and I'm shocked that you dont have 10 times the amount of subscribers. That said I have purchased so many things on your recommendations GB one being the charlotte tilbury quad the rebel. It reminded me of the maybeline city mini palette in urban jungle which i have had for a long time and never used. I swatched them next to each other and my jaw was on the floor. It its a total shade for shade dupe and the formula is surprisingly elegant. I would love to see you do a comparison. I immediately felt like i just had to tell u 😂 even thought u have no clue who i am i know how much u love that palette and green in general.
For everyone who loves the DM groundwork palette : do the cream shadows crease? Have you any issue about the staying power, especially with oily lids? Thank you ❤❤
I find that the cream shadows don’t crease if I use an eyeshadow base. They are more of a cream-to-powder formula and are impactful and long wearing on their own but I usually apply a little bit of the corresponding powder shade to add a little more dimension.
Great video as always! Thank you for all the details and information. I got the Kosas concealer based on your recommendation and I am loving it! However still curious about the newer Natasha Denona one and can’t remember if you ever tried it! Any thoughts?
I am grateful for you and all of the work you put into your channel. No one in my daily life cares about makeup the way I do, and some even devalue it.

Have a great New Year 🎉
I agree no one else in my daily life values it like me and she’s so refreshing and genuine.
Nnn

YAY FINALLY, IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO 🎉
The little Anastasia shout out made me so happy💖💖💖 Kinda want the Gucci bronzer for that reason only😂😂😂
I love how long this video is omg I’m so excited. Gonna hang for a while

Its evident you enjoy what you do as you do it so well. Wishing you continued success throughout 2024 ❤
Would love to see a Lisa Eldridge lipsticks video from you :-)
Your Chanel is the best!! Loved how you detailed every product and how is each works……appreciate all your work❣️❣️

What a cozy video to watch before bedtime 😊 And I really trust your judgement on products, so I might get inspired (I really shouldn’t buy more though haha)
I adore your hair color
I adore how the Gucci Bronzer and the Dior Cherry blush look on your complexion! Beautiful roundup of beautiful formulas and shades, Amanda!!!
i SO appreciate your absolutely thorough research and trial/error, high/low approach! it's such a joy to sit down and watch a youtuber i know i can trust when it comes to reviews and opinions - happy new year! :)
❤❤Beautiful! You are the Best at describing and showing a tual products

Great hair color
Congrats on 100K!!!! So deserved! You are one of my favorites!
Wishing you 100K and beyond in 2024! Thanks for everything that you do!
Lorac Noir is so slept on. It is such a gorgeous solid neutral pallet. I also love Fairytale Forest. The toppers in it where ahead of their time.
Sooo excited for this, appreciate your channel and dedication to the viewers so so much!!
Yasss❣️❣️❣️Love Shiseido for my dehydrated skin💖
Excellent video, so nice to see a honest to the point review on products! Definitely going to pick up a few, thanks Amanda!

All of your makeup looks are so aspirational!
Thank you for doing what you do. Happy new year!
I looove the Dior rosey glows my husband got me a Dior makeup bag set with it in it this Christmas and it really is worth the hype if you like natural make up or glow from within type of thing. 😘👌🏼 so good! I’m looking to get another shade in the near future ❤️

I LOVE my merit skin glow for my face! I use it for skin prep also and my skin feels so good and refreshing besides the normal dry skin
Awwww, Anastasia! Such an underrated movie! I quote Bartok's story of how his nephew just keeled over mid-mango far more than anyone has a right to. Stress, it's a killer! I was in love with her blue dress as a kid. Okay and as an adult.

Just phenomenal video! So impressed with your reviews. Thank you!
I love the Basma stick it’s so underrated, but truly the best stick foundation of all time is the Tom Ford traceless stick foundation. Best foundation of all time period!

very intense yr for me so mahalo plenty for being there fr US!😊
Thank you for your high quality content! Can’t wait for another year of great reviews!😊
Literally the only Best of 2023 video I bothered watching lmao. Also, you got me onto the Kiss Me Mommy sunscreen a few years back and it's been so great, especially since the Canmake Mermaid Gel, which was my HG broke me out all of the sudden!
That Charlotte Tillbury bronzer looks so nice! - Britta

Thank you for another great year, Amanda!

Congrats on hitting 100k Amanda, so well deserved! Ik I'm a little early.. But it's going to happen soon! 😂🎉
Thank you for your detailed review of these products ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for watching!
I love the Basma stick foundation
You should really do a video about how you style your hair 😄
The basma foundation stick is ridiculously good. Also their shade range is amazing. So hard to find light neutral olives!
I Love True Amanda fashion way ❤
After seeing this video, I am going to try the Tower 28 Making Waves mascara. But the eyeshadow you wore on that clip was stunning on you. What was it please?
The ND palette is magnetic
i have to repress the shadow in the pan itself :/
Love ur channel!!
thank you so much for being here!!
If you ever used NARS Light Sculpting Highlighting Powder (Fort de France), which one would you choose for textured skin, the nars or this Charlotte Tilbury?
Thank you so much for your in depth recommandation! ♥

Who makes it and the exact color?
Oh my gosh! Yes! Im ready!! 👏👏👏
can you do the flops of beauty 2023
I like this idea!!
For the Danessa Myricks Groundwork Palette, do you use a brush (and if so, what kind) for the putty? I love that palette.
@Amanda Z I love your sweater! I love the color! Do you mind sharing where you bought it from or the brand?
I appreciate YOU ❤
thank YOU 💕
LOVE RMS blush!
Great video and so much effort as always, thank you. I just wanted to say that the Shiseido Radiant Lifting foundation made my skin texture look so much worse and it transfers a lot during the day. Do you have a problem with transferring?
I agree with the foundation review I use the self refreshing one but I cannot find my shade 260 cashmere I think they stopped making it. Is the new stuff as good as the others do they dry down immediately?
The Caudalie Oil Elixer! I thought it was just me that thought it smelled a little like BO! I strangely like it though! Thank you for letting me know I’m not crazy 😂. Also I have to say I love to watch you talk about makeup you love. I can feel your passion. You also speak very eloquently ❤
Hi, do you prefer the new shiseido glow foundation or the arrmani luminous silk?
Hey Amanda, I'm such a huge fan of your content. I think you absolutely amazing and I'm shocked that you dont have 10 times the amount of subscribers. That said I have purchased so many things on your recommendations GB one being the charlotte tilbury quad the rebel. It reminded me of the maybeline city mini palette in urban jungle which i have had for a long time and never used. I swatched them next to each other and my jaw was on the floor. It its a total shade for shade dupe and the formula is surprisingly elegant. I would love to see you do a comparison. I immediately felt like i just had to tell u 😂 even thought u have no clue who i am i know how much u love that palette and green in general.
For everyone who loves the DM groundwork palette : do the cream shadows crease? Have you any issue about the staying power, especially with oily lids? Thank you ❤❤
I find that the cream shadows don’t crease if I use an eyeshadow base. They are more of a cream-to-powder formula and are impactful and long wearing on their own but I usually apply a little bit of the corresponding powder shade to add a little more dimension.
I bought five of those sunscreens using your link. Hope you get credit.
I love this eyelook. What yöu use? So many of the same favorites❤
thank you so much! I Used the moondust palette & the ground work palette :)
Thank you!!
I don’t know who is credited for the clean makeup look … but … I’m pretty sure it’s gotta be you!
What shadow are you wearing in the Tower 28 mascara demo?
Great video as always! Thank you for all the details and information. I got the Kosas concealer based on your recommendation and I am loving it! However still curious about the newer Natasha Denona one and can’t remember if you ever tried it! Any thoughts?
thank you so much!! I havent tried it but ive been curious
Please can I ask what shade in the charlotte tilbury bronze you use please? Thank you :)
Fair!! ❤
Can the merit oil be used over sunscreen?
i dont know why but that rogue squirt of mai tai cracked me up
hahahah
What shade are you in the foundation stick?
Is there an affordable dupe for the merit great skin?
I have a huge gripe with the the Mario hard pan!
have you had any issues with the coconut extract in the undone beauty products? I've heard coconut can break people out
How about ‘prickly pear and musk'?😉
Need to know what’s on your eyes and lips at 13:04. Signed, an Olive Tone Girly
Try wet n wild dewy lumineau highlighter. You’ll be shocked.
Think this is the Berry freckled Pen. Anyone know where to buy in UK?
Subscibing! Idk why i didn't earlier
❤❤❤

Agghhhh lol i wanna buy a lot of things…. LOL😂
