I think probably the biggest red-flag phrase has got to be "This has changed my life!" Like, unless that foundation is clearing your debt or getting you free childcare, it's not changing your life.
hahaha
💯
This and also them over exaggerating how good the product is is a huge red flag. Some of the things they try to sell us are really expensive. If a $40 lipstick or $50+ foundation is really as good as they claim it is, it better magically regenerate itself after using it, clean my brushes, and have a 10 year warranty on it so if it gets stolen, destroyed, or expires, I can get a free replacement.
@@off.arretezvousx right?! Yesterday I saw a $95 lipstick and a $45 single eyeshadow! Like no effing way in hell. Not just no, but hell no. Ma'am 🤨
@@Balletified RIGHT. Like, tell me *why* you love something and what kind of customer it’s good for. Don’t just say we need to run and buy every single thing you feature in a video bc it makes you look money-hungry!
The lash gate situation isn’t about her doing it. It is about the lack of accountability. A little mea culpa would go such a long way to fixing the situation. This is a teachable moment for her, but she doesn’t seem to be learning.
You mentioned how different shadows (neutrals, blues, neons, etc) have different techniques and things you can and can't do with them. I would be interested in an overview video of different techniques you use for different kinds of shadows
Yeeeessss, this is such a good idea!
I would love to see a video like this as well! ❤
I think “makeup education” (for lack of a better term) plays a huge role in this. I had this one palette that was my ride or die palette, and it cost maybe $10 on sale. I used this thing non stop. I thought it was the best palette on the planet. Best formula, best everything. Then it broke and died, so I went searching for another one. During that quest, I found other brands and other palettes, and realized what I had been using was utter garbage. But I didn’t know that at the time! I was an ignorant happy clam with this horrific palette! I wonder if I was better off back then…it was much cheaper….but now I know what works for me and what doesn’t, and why, ect. So maybe it’s more of “makeup exposure “ than education, but I would have defended that garbage palette in comments (had I watched RUclips prior to the lock down) in videos with zero hesitation! My makeup knowledge was basically nonexistent. I believe this to be part of the makeup view disconnect on many occasions.
Ahhh, the utter bliss of not knowing.....
Yesss I'm the same! I didn't have access to much good stuff growing up and I definitely made use of everything on my hand, and what was on my hands was unfortunately utter garbage. But I didn't really know better, I thought it works alright! I can make use of it so it's good! I still use cheap stuff but not random unbranded eye pencils and random lipsticks I found around the house and even so there's *so* much difference.
Totally agree! You don't know what you don't know, right?! I was hard-core for Too Faced and Urban Decay and I own nothing from either brand anymore because they just don't compare to my Natasha Denona palettes or indie brands I've tried. Makeup is trial and error and subjective. I don't like matte foundations but I'll be damned that I love the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse foundation! Lol over well moisturized skin, it's beautiful and wears so nice!
Okay what was the palette?
Omg same! Mine was a pallet of finishing powders that I was using as bronzer and highlight. Lol
My biggest red flag is when an influencer does a first impression on a bunch of products, finds one that they consider “life changing” and then never uses it again or maybe talks about it once six months after the the first impression video. A good review of a product for me is when the influencer tries a product as a first impression, says they really like it, and continues to use it in future videos (as an example). That lets me know that they truly enjoy the product. Now, does that make me want to buy the product? Not always, because I watch a bunch of different people with a variety of different skin types. I have dry skin and am prone to hormonal acne.
I don't watch tiktok but my impression is that they're more about infomercials, one and done things that go viral which is definitely not the content I care for imo
haha, yes or like "I've been using this product/brand for years and it's sooo good" ..bitch so why I haven't seen you use it ever? 🤣
Absolutely, this is soo true!! That’s why I personally love watching Angelica, Emily Noel, and Lauren Mae-you see them use and hear them talk about products they said they liked. That shows me that they were honest in the review where they said they liked it 🤷🏻♂️
Or, they do a full face of first impressions and give you final thoughts like they can tell if it's a good or a bad product from one use, or which one was even causing the issues when it's a new moisturizer, new sunscreen, new primer, new foundation, new concealer, and a new powder, or they say something is horrible when they don't use it how it's intended - of course it's a terrible eye shadow, it's supposed to be a lipstick!
The issue with Makayla is that she clearly put in the comments she was NOT wearing lashes as she was questioned. That’s just sad and awful.
It’s nice to find creators over 45 so thanks for the tag!
They found a Maybelline powder video that Makayla did recently where she never showed the actual application and acted as if it was the second coming of Jesus as she hid the sponsored statement or added it later. She lies about the false lashes and then didn't respond about it at all and she hid the sponsored statement and doubled down on her lies and made a joke out of her actions in subsequent videos. She has used filters too. She has yet to apologize and she shouldn't be given the benefit of the doubt at all. That ship sailed.
I saw that! Actually she clearly had other foundation under her application
Why does anyone watch her content or follow her anymore?? She’s a known liar, she uses filters in every video & that’s not cool when you’re supposed to be “reviewing” a product. I want to see the results of said product no matter what they are not the filter 😑
The problem with mikayla it’s that she didn’t even adress the problem, she is mocking the situation, and that it’s unacceptable. And the thing that other people have done worst it’s not an excuse.
Which is what she does every time and let’s not even talk about her use of filters while “reviewing” complexion products 😑
Sorry for the long comment in advance!! I strongly dislike how she handled Lashgate but what pisses me off about her the most is she literally outed Cody’s ex for having a drug addiction which in turn sent her huge fanbase after this poor girl. I am a recovering addict with 4 years of sobriety so to me, what she did to that girl is so disgusting. She can talk about Cody all she wants in that regard if he allows it, that’s his business. I am always open about my addiction as well but I still wouldn’t want anyone talking about that online without my permission, especially someone so huge, and Mikayla clearly didn’t have it. I was disappointed to see that she told the entire internet about those struggles, especially when it seems like this girl was already having a hard time, but sending that many people to hate on her? It’s just cruel.
I could never support her anyway because I met someone who was personally bullied by her when they were in school. She cried when she told me how much it hurts her to see her bully all over social media. Its just sad to see how Mikayla acts. I would’ve loved to support a fellow New England girl who is making it in the beauty community, but she isn’t honest and clearly doesn’t care that she intentionally deceived her own fanbase. It could’ve already been over by now if she just said she put a lash on at the end and forgot to add a caption or tell everyone about it in the last clip! Like seriously! Oh well, it’s not like we can even see how anything looks on her skin with all the filters.
Anyway, I’m just tired of fake people. Dealt with enough in my life already so the last thing I want is to be wasting time on superficial influencers who value a dollar over the trust of their audience. Glad we have some of the good ones left, like you! Bc you don’t use these crazy filters, you are outspoken and upfront about any sponsorships, we know you don’t take just anything that comes your way either and you actually like the products you promote. So thank you for always being yourself and real with us.
I value and trust your opinions on makeup, even though there are things I won’t get because of personal preference or our different skin types. (for example, orange is the worst color on me but it looks perfect on you) for me I try to be thoughtful about what to buy and I would never be able to consider only one person’s review as the deciding factor of making that choice. You made some really good points. Glad you’re not afraid to speak out.
Yes yes yes. You make so many good points! Congratulations on four years ❤
Very fair points. She seems like a straight up bad and selfish person from all I've been seeing... which is sad because so many people somehow stan that kind of attitude :(
i have no idea who cody or this ex are, luckily i try to stay out of beauty communities except for watching angie and some others, but what i wanna say is that i'm so sorry you had to experience that, it must be really triggering. i wish you a lot of happiness on your continued journey of sobriety. 4 years is a long ass time, go you!!!!!
@@theIaurenshow thank you so much!! I really appreciate it ❤️
@@maiyorha Thank you so much, that means a lot to me! ❤️ I had no idea who they were either until someone I know brought it up. I do a few meetings a week including a really cool mom’s group for us moms in long term recovery. (Mikayla’s fiancé is Cody, his ex is the one who she outed as an addict, guess they were in rehab together at some point) but in one of my meetings, one girl was upset about the situation because I believe the ex was her former friend. We all agreed that if we were her and getting all that online hate, especially if we were already struggling with recovery, that it would be very easy to relapse. After that meeting I looked into it and saw a few videos about the situation. I just pray that girl will be ok. I saw some videos of her after the fact and.. I don’t want to speculate but let’s just say she definitely worried me. I hope that she won’t let the hate get to her and her recovery!
For foundation, i look at how long they think a "full day" is! An 8 hour wear test is kinda useless to me. I appreciate that you aim for 10-12 hours when you can!
Oh - I wish people would mention botox when they review foundations. I feel like it is relevant to how product settles in wrinkles.
Another thing that poses me off is when they review a product while having lighting and filters hide texture and pores. Nobody is poreless and majority of us have texture. Recently Maybelline’s powder foundation went viral for the wrong reasons, it’s a whole fiasco. One guru claimed it’s lightweight, transfer proof, sweat proof, and long lasting but everybody else hated it because it was heavy, creased into smile lines, and not transfer or sweat proof.
To me is definitely 2 things: skin type and climate...
@@off.arretezvousx 100% agreed! If I'm watching a review on a complexion product, it's because I want to see how the *product* looks on *skin*. Throwing a filter on it tells me absolutely nothing except your filter works.
I saw someone the other day doing a “wear test” and they wore it for 5 hours…. Utterly useless hahahahaha
My red flag is when they like EVERYTHING. Every product can’t be life changing. Not all products are going to work for you but some people react to anything new like its the greatest thing they’ve ever tried. And the over the top excitement that doesn’t feel genuine.
Agree wholeheartedly
Yesssss I totally agree ❤sometimes hearing what people don’t like can be just as helpful as hearing what people do like!
I find that more helpful 😅
I agree. Unfortunately most creators won't say what they don't like for fear of upsetting the brand. Or won't compare/review 2 brands because they like both brands and don't want to upset one. 🤷
A “red flag” that I learned yeeeears ago (been watching beauty videos since the beginning of time, lol), is when a beauty reviewer says “it’s the PEEEERRRRFECT nude lipstick!”. That doesn’t happen as much today, because people have become more educated on different skin tones and undertones, but 10-15 years ago, beauty enthusiasts on RUclips would recommend a nude lipstick shade as “universal”, calling it absolutely perfect for anyone, when obviously a nude depends on each individual’s unique coloring.
Yes! Yes! Yes! I always eye roll at the girls in their 20s saying it doesn’t crease or sink into their lines. I love your channel and Heather’s because of the age, skin type, climate, and style similarities. Plus you both have such honest reviews. If I see something new I have to check to see what Angie and Heather think first 😂
I’ll be 51 in 17 days and I personally can not thank you enough for this video! I don’t trust many, and honestly some creators are just amusing to me (not in a good way). I do trust you and that’s why I’m always here for it!
Happy (early) birthday!
Yes! Thank you for teaching me 3 years ago that I did not need to set my eye primer with a light shade. It was life changing :)
I'm so glad! :D
I have very deep set and hooded eyes and I have found that setting my eye primer depends on which primer I use. And finding an eye primer that works for my eye type was another ordeal in itself 😂 even with YT reviews out there to assist me. It's always, trust but verify, and living in the U.S. affords a nice position of being able to return a purchase that doesn't work (and trying to reduce unnecessary purchases is the goal of my watching reviews to begin with).
@@amberm8185 Hello Amber! For the longest time ND primer worked a treat and I would only set my "crease" lol to brow area. The ND primer, for me, is what I'd call a wet or tacky primer, and with my eye type/shape, most shadows will not blend properly without setting a base like that in that area I mentioned. I rarely have reason to set my mobile lid.
Before discovering the ND primer, I had tried many, many others. Here are some results and some basic info for perspective. I have mostly normal skin with a t-zone that has very dry parts (forehead), but the deepest part of my hooded eyes are oily, like a dry oil.
-Milani was too dry
-Makeup Revolution canvas something was too tacky/thick
-UD primer potion was too oily
-Anastasia BH is good for an almost white based primer, used sparingly, when I want colors to POP
-Wet n Wild photofocus is great for me, no pigment, not too tacky, no need to set at all
-Mac prep + prime seems oily, but blends out nice and I will only set depending on what shadows I'm using (some shadows are more oily than others)
-Smashbox 24hr is ok, not pigmented and no need to set, but can easily get tacky or gummy, esp around the inner/outer eye areas and under the brow
-Too Faced shadow insurance acts similar to the smashbox primer
I have two glitter glues, NYX and Too Faced, but I can get major creasing with both depending on the texture of the shadow, so I don't prefer to use either. I'd rather just spray my brush or use my finger, glue is last resort.
Hope this is helpful. I did watch about a dozen reviews on YT from others with same/similar eye types as mine before I went on my journey years ago and Angie is absolutely correct that what works for one (even if all else is equal/constant may still not work for another) bc I learned that my preferences did not align with most of those I did watch. However, I was able to learn about several new primers I didn't know existed and ultimately found a replacement (or a few 😆) and discovered more about makeup, myself, and my makeup style/preferences in the process.
@@amberm8185 For sure 😊 and I try experimenting with what I set with too. Mostly a shade close to skin tone for the "up to brow" part but the crease part can vary depending on the look. Again, like Angie said in her video, transition shades can be a colored shade and I love color.
My biggest pet peeve’s is when a influencer call every other product a holy grail. 9 times out of 10 you’ll never see them use it again, and the misuse of the phrase life hanging. 💕
YES! The very end! If somebody is telling me to "run out and get something now!" I can understand if you really love a product, you've been talking about it and suggest that "X" people would really like it but telling me that I absolutely need something and quickly sends up all the flags
My biggest red-flag is when someone is ONLY ever positive or only ever negative. You gotta have real preferences, not just making a sale.
I recently found out that a colleague of mine LOVES the Morphe eyeshadow formula. If she’s going out, she’s using Morphe eyeshadows. I think their formula is not the best, but my colleague and I are looking for very different things in eyeshadow and we don’t have the same expectations. Preferences are everything when it comes to reviews and for me a red flag is when people speak in absolutes as opposed to having a nuanced conversation in their reviews.
Many people hated the Subculture palette, but I’m never letting mine go. I love it.
For me, one thing that I know that I have to analyze is when a reviewer says that a lipstick product goes on patchy or smoothly. For instance, I follow Temptalia for the amazing swatches she does. However, Temptalia’s lips are very light, while mine are very pigmented (medium pinky mauve). I know that when a dark vampy color goes patchy on her lips, it will look just fine on mine (because my darker lip color will hide patches that might not be even), and when a light nude color goes on even on her lips, it might look patchy on mine (because, on my lips, my dark lip color might show through the uneven lip product). As for smoothness and evenness of application, I know that my lips are relatively very smooth, while my best friend’s have a certain fine texture. So, when she applies product, it will typically apply evenly and smoothly because the product has something to grip on to. However, on me, the same product might slide and slip because there are areas on my lips that are so smooth that the product doesn’t have anywhere to grip on to, and I have to apply a primer or several coats in order to get an even application. This doesn’t happen with all lip products, but it’s something that I have to consider (that is, even when a product works great on my friend or Temptalia, I know that, depending on the product, it might or might not work for me).
Sometimes I just watch people because I love their personalities. And then i forget that we don’t have the same preferences and then I buy everything they love oooopppssss 😂
I love that you base your view on people by how they get up and not how they fall. THIS IS WHY I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU! ❤️
I generally trust the people that I routinely watch but I still watch a variety of reviews. Some I watch to see things on a skin tone similar to mine. Some I watch because I know I have similar taste in eyeshadow, foundation, etc. All while keeping in mind my skill level and what I will be able to do with the product when I get it lol
'unless you're a smurf'
- every smurf feeling seen and validated ✨
Red flag is the brushes a person uses. The difference between good and bad brushes makes such a difference. Most RUclipsrs have better skills blending than I do. And good brushes helps TREMENDOUSLY. I used to use morphe only and had such a hard time thinking it was me or the product and it was the brushes I was using.
I like that you have clear ethics around PR and sponsorships. I’ve seen many people be so grateful to get PR that they’re afraid to be honest about the product and offend the brand and not receive free product anymore - also don’t like the word ‘GIFTED’. PR products are not gifts - like you always say ‘brands are not your friends.’
With foundation I've realized that I don't like what people with my similar skin typically like. I tend to like more coverage than others with dryer, mature, textured skin. I've found way more foundation I love, watching Nikkia Joy, oily skin, than I have watching more similar skin types. There are a few people I typically trust in regards to foundations but no one has ever loved everything I love and vice versa. You're someone that has similar likes in foundations so most of your recommendations I've really enjoyed.
I totally skip foundations reviews, as only BB creams works for me (asian ones) :D
To be honest, I don’t do your makeup style. It doesn’t work for my everyday professional life unfortunately. BUT. I love watching your artistry. And I enjoy your channel in general. So sometimes your likes are indeed a red flag for me. But I still love watching your content.
I really appreciate that you always explain why you don't like a product, and you're absolutely right it does make it easier to decide for myself if our preferences don't match.
for example, I was really surprised that you didn't like the about face balm blushes because I love them, but you explained that they didn't have enough pigment and blended away into nothing. I realized that's what I like about them, because I tend to apply them on my bare face (no foundation, just concealer) and I already have redness in my face, so I like something that just shifts that flush without turning me into a tomato. 😅
thanks so much for always being honest with us and giving us a behind the scenes look at your life as a reviewer.
Trust is all you have as a beauty reviewer yes! That’s why I can’t ever trust Mikayla’s makeup opinions anymore. She knew what she was doing and that it was so unnecessarily wrong. That’s no “honest mistake”. I can forgive those and trust reviewers again if they actually didn’t know something and accidentally messed up, using a filter on their camera or something.
This is such a fab topic! I use all sorts of techniques depending on the formula or the look I’m trying to achieve so if I’m looking to buy a palette I watch as many reviews as possible to get a rounded view. I personally like reviews where the creator explains how to get the best out of a formula. I like honesty but not negativity. I feel that you always strike the perfect balance between being honest but also respectful to the brands. You have the best colourful makeup channel on YT & your channel is what most of us aspire to 💖
When things get really hyped up now, I feel like I wait and see what the general public says about. I fell for it too many times.
I’ve heard a few RUclipsrs talk about products that they want to try but they wouldn’t purchase and immediately turn around and ask the brand to send them it as PR. I’m always shocked after that when they actually send it to them. I understand the point of PR, but if you’re not willing to spend your own money on something then don’t turn around and tell us it’s worth spending our money on. It just makes me look at them differently.**
I like that you mentioned different techniques. I always go in with the darkest matte on the outer corner first & build from there. I also use the pack & blend method so I don't do as much blending at all. It makes my eyeshadow way more impactful & saturated. Most people do not enjoy that! As for miss mikayla, I'm also surprised by how much hate she's gotten. I always assumed she was a shill so it didn't remotely phase me. Beauty tinktonk in general is gross. It's like the new school version of QVC. 😆🙃
There are only a couple I trust now. We aren't stupid, when you watch long enough, you can see their tells and know when they are not into a product. Or when they are just don't something to help a brand. It's disgusting. I've really backed off the number of videos I watch because I just don't trust hardly anyone anymore. And yes, a first impression is a first impression, not a "review with swatches". Even if you do 3 looks in the video, if you're wiping them of to do another you aren't reviewing, you don't know how long it will wear, if it will cease, fade, etc. The smaller creators I used to love have gotten bigger and we're back to codes and links being pushed just like the bigger creators. I'm so disgusted with this community yet again. I watch you and like 3 other religiously, and then some others here and there, but I don't believe anything they say. The other thing that aggravates me is when their community tab has links to all releases, even if they haven't tried them or like them. It's all about the money for their links. If i wanted one long a$$ commercial, I'd watch TV. There's my rant for the day lol. 🤪
Very true, well said!!👏
I agree with you on some of the above, however I do want reviewers I like to make $$$. Women need to get paid! I’m happy to fast forward through their ad or sponsorship if it doesn’t suit me, but they give me a lot of info so they deserve $$.
@Maria Bull Oh I totally want them to make money. I don't care about sponsorships and partnerships at all. Just say that's what it is and be honest. Don't promote something you don't like or use. At that point they're using their platform to try to get us to buy stuff they don't like or use. We watch their videos, like, comment, and subscribe. They get money from that too, that's what gives them their platform and opens doors to sponsorships. Without us they'd be nothing. So to fill their community tab with "exciting new releases" that they themselves have no interest in so we use their link, or do a sponsorship and act like it's not, or worse, promote a product they've not liked in the past... that's deceitful and taking advantage of the followers that help make them. But honest reviews, links, sponsorships, heck yeah, make that money. That's what I meant on my comment. I'm not against them having these extra ways to make money at all. Just be true to who they are. And unfortunately a lot, not all, just start seeing green and forget about the loyalty their subscribers have given them. That's what I don't like. 😀
I'm 35 and have fine lines, dark circles, and facial redness. I appreciate all you do Angie. It's realness.
I got The Muse at launch! I can’t wait for it to get here. I’m so happy you used that palette. You made so many valid points. Just because we don’t like the same beauty products doesn’t mean we can’t admire their artistry. This is supposed to be enjoyable.
The one thing that I can't deal with, it's when people asume the only one correct way of doing makeup, theirs, and everything else it's horrible. And also they have these preconceived ideas like you can't wear this or that if you're over certain age or if your eyes are this colour or that colour or any of that bs.
I believe those are toxic people and I don't need to expose myself to them.
I’m 24 so my makeup preferences are different than yours. But I adore your eyeshadow reviews because I love your dramatic makeup style. I stick to neutrals for work but love to wear bright colors too. You’ve inspired me to try matching multiple colors and make more “two toned” looks, instead of just a bright monochromatic look! I also love Morphe shadows, they’ve always worked so well for me 😂 but I have a lot of your recommendations for eyeshadows and I adore them too ❤️
I'm 24 too so I get you, also love neutrals because I'm a Soft Summer undertone. However, I still like to play with colorful eyeshadows. I just tend to do it in a more diffused and hazy way, or always use certain colors that flatter me so it reads as "colorful but something about it suits her" than a "whoa" reaction. Some things are just not for me, which is why I just live through other people haha, it's so inspiring as you implied.
Do you mean preferences are different based on formulas because of your ages?
Hi, Angie!! I wish you can make a video about your base makeup: how you do it your way, application/layering techniques, tips and tricks, etc. You always have flawless base without looking like a cakey mess like others. 💚
this video was really helpful- especially reminding us to take into account people’s preferences and techniques with makeup!!!
I also think it is important for reviewers to relay the particulars of their situation. For instance with foundation, what are their struggles? What skin type are they? Do they struggle with acne prone skin or are they allergic to spf? Do they have texture we cannot see in the high lights? Do they have small pores or big? What are their problem areas? What works or doesn't work for them might not be the case for everyone, and I think it is important to help the viewers understand the entire situation.
Everything "CLEAN" instantly turns me off 😂
Yes, neutral look with a twist, my favourite kind! 99% of the eye looks I do are matte neutral base with a duochrome shimmer - the one that has a neutral base but colorful flip!
I’m starting to side eye foundation reviews. Many times the claim is it will cover scars or hyperpigmentation in one swipe and it does not. I ironically just picked up the Maybelline Colorstay Poweder Foundation not because of reviews but I thought it was intriguing. Then here comes Mikayla saying it covers like a mask and it does not do that. Thanks for the care that you put into your reviews. ❤
Two 🚩 🚩 for me are products that are “full coverage,” or geared towards “oily skin.” I enjoy watching reviews from lots of creators who have different skin types and preferences than I do, but take into account that their favorites wouldn’t necessarily work for me. Oh, when it comes to reviews, if a creator has new “holy grail” products every week, that’s a red flag.
But you can get full coverage, long wear and have oily skin. Go check out Heather Austin’s channel. She is amazing, has oily skin, lives in the humid south climate and needs her makeup to last up to 16+ hours. She mostly does medium to full coverage looks and always looks gorgeous.
I also have oily skin and live in Tn where we get 50 seasons & 48 of those are summer w/ 80-90% humidity and since following Heathers makeup advice my makeup has never looked better and lasted longer.
Plus I’ve learned better techniques and found better products by watching both hers and Angela’s channels 😊
@@beckyward89 I have very dry skin. 🙃I think I wasn’t clear- I just meant that when a reviewer has oily skin, I’m less likely to take their recommendation for a complexion product that works for them. :)
You had so many great tips! Thank you so much for collating with me🥰
Of course!
Girl…I am all all about reviews for folks that are not in their 20s & 30s! Thanks for doing this collab! I just sunscribed to Nikki’s Channel.
I notice red flags if someone always loves everything they try. Also if someone raves about a product and then it's never listed in the description box again or used on their channel. I don't love a negative channel but people will never love everything from 1 brand or something.
I love how technical you get about makeup quality. So many variables to consider!
Can you make a video explaining those different techniques for different colors? Or what color goes with what color? I am fascinated how you look at a colorful palette and finding so many combinations. I wish I was able doing that.
I 100% agree with you on all points regarding review red flags as well as what we should be looking for. Tbh, though, I think a lot of that wisdom comes with life experience. Most of the TikTok crowd (where a lot of the red flags go up one right after the other) is still in their green years in age. Hopefully, with you and Nikki Raven giving some guidance, people will be able to exercise discernment when watching reviews which will make them able to make better decisions because of it. Thank you!
I had to chuckle a little bit when I saw your eye look coming together. This is basically my "to go" makeup look I keep in a small travel bag in case I don't have time to do my makeup at home! 😄 Except yours is much more elegant, I slap mine on with clean fingers (alcohol wipes are in the bag). LOL I use any one of the million mid-tone warm browns I've amassed in the crease and outer corner, Ardency Inn Peacock (duchrome warm with blue-leaning-teal shift) on the outer 2/3 of the lid, and then Sydney Grace Mielke Way (pinky base with a greeny shift) on the inner 1/3 and corner. Eyeliner and mascara is where I stop, but how you finished it looks great on you! Thank you for sharing! 😊
I appreciate Nikki Raven *so* much as a fellow nondicergent person!
I'm only ADHD, which is a lesser thing, but it still has had a great impact in my life.
Mostly because it went undetected for most of my life.
It was always "he's clearly intelligent. We're clueless to why he doesn't do better in school!
That and understanding I'm gay phekked me up for so many years.
Today I'm greatful for both those things.
LoL I'm 55 and I didn't start really wearing makeup until my husband passed, I kinda fell into the beauty community by accident and I fell in love, you and Betty Jean are the first ppl I watched and so everything you two do I do and I Love It!! Somethings I do on my own but mainly my influences are definitely you two.
Great video! Something I love about you is that you do followups a month later with your final thoughts, sooo many people do initial first impressions but never follow-up with a full review.
The other time it gets confusing is when RUclipsrs have conflicting opinions (one says pigmented/bendable and another says thin and patchy) and when RUclipsr opinions differ from consumer opinions. I really wanted the Odens single eye shadows after seeing all of the RUclips first impressions but then decided against it after hearing reviews online from average consumers.
Thanks for your commentary! So excited you're collabing with @NikkiRaven on this. Heading over to her channel now...
13:52 You taught me to spray the brush after you have the eyeshadow on it. I never would have thought of that. I have always tried to use glitter glue and made a complete mess. The Pat McGrath glue is OK, but it is far far better for me to spray the brush and it has changed my life in make up
I love Nikki Raven’s channel! I definitely enjoy watching creators who are slightly older than 20. I am 65, but love colorful makeup. It’s very hard to find people my age who aren’t doing just neutral looks. Love your channel as well, and liked this video a lot! Totally agree with your thoughts on creators. I don’t look at Instagram much, and am not interested in Tic Tok. I’m not even that fond of “shorts”. I enjoy watching different techniques. Sometimes I try them, but mostly I do what works for me. We are all different and will like different things. I just want to see makeup used and reviewed, then I make up my own mind after watching several creators use a product. I do set my eye primer with powder. But I am very fair, and don’t mind my darks not being as dark as they are capable of being. But if I don’t set my primer (have tried dozens) then i will crease like crazy. I am dry to occasionally normal, and live in north Texas where the weather is unpredictable. As with anything else you are interested in getting, multiple reviews will help you make up your mind. I have not run into any creators I felt were using filters or trying to be deceptive, so I feel lucky with those I follow. I also used to love that All Nighter foundation! I wore it for years.mouth I prefer full coverage at my age.
I love Nikki, so happy to see this collab. She’s been such a sweet and helpful person as I started my channel.
For me if a foundation or concealer is full coverage or matte I'm like NO WAY haha. I''m opposite to Ms Angie in that I want dewy and light makeup... but I still love watching for her personality and beautiful eye looks! ❤️
I love listening to you talk about this stuff, I watched this one after the PR video. You're such a breath of fresh air on beauty RUclips. You have such a mature and logical way of looking at things. People really are way too invested and serious in the comments, IN ALL CAPS SCREAMING ABOUT SOMETHING that is just an opinion and, at the end of the day, washes off with soap and water! You're so calm and chill and drama free, just a girl who LOVES makeup, but isn't going to let the little things ruin her day! And this "neutral" look was so gorgeous. Smokey, grungey, duo chrome. Stunning 😍
I'm with you on the foundations and finding someone around your age and with similar skin/location. I'm in my 40s and have dry/sensitive skin. I know that someone 19 with oily skin is not going to be able to give me foundation or concealer advice. I've also learned that I HATE having sticky lips or lips sticks that transfer onto things. So a reviewer who goes on about sticky lip glosses isn't going to have great advice for me on lipsticks. I know a lot of people don't like matte lipsticks that dry down, but I am 100% the type of person those things are made for.
This was such a great video! I had to watch it twice because the first time I was just listening and multitasking but I had to go back to watch you do that look! So pretty. After I started watching you tube it took me a long time to understand the concepts you are talking about. I was primarily watching people that were a lot younger than me and did a ton of first impressions. You did such a great job explaining things. Watching everyone’s year-end foundation favorites and rankings is fascinating! People love what others hate and vice versa.
Mikayla already did it again, please don't defend her, she is just another Jaclyn Hill.
What did she do?
What did she do again? I stopped trusting her after her maraca controversy
@Markus Feindt yeah, that is whaf I meant. I do know about mascaragate.
@@dgs788 I don’t understand why it’s so hard for her to apologize to us and keep ignoring her drama while acting so arrogant, ignorant and having a huge attitude about it like girl calm down I really think her quick success already got to her and basically made her spoiled 🫣
In your opinion. 😉
This should be the welcome video to everyone who's starting to watch videos about makeup on youtube!
I've been watching makeup videos for years now (since the first pixiwoo days for those who were there lol) and I've come to take everyhting with a grain of salt. I like to watch people talk about makeup, and if a product sounds interesting to me, I try and search for reviews in my favorite YT channels. My skintone being medium olive, I guess my biggest red-flag for eyeshadow is someone with lighter skin saying it's pigmented lol I always try and search for youtubers with a skin tone closer to mine. If they have the same techique that's a bonus, because it's really hard to find lol So I will watch as many reviews as I can about any product before I buy it - I'll look for everything you said, and more, before deciding.
Thank so much for another great video!
Great video. Love your input and we are all different. I love your definition of a "review" and a "first impression". There are so many times an influencer has tried a product for the first time raving about it so I purchase it only to find a video a month down the road saying "I don't love it as much as I thought." I've really learned to be more cautious of whether or not a video is an actual review or a first time impression. HUGE DIFFERENCE as you said. Love your hair in this video and the makeup look is BOMB. Thanks, Angie!
Ja till fler av denna typ av videos -och ja, älskar påskmust! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Technique and preferences are so important! By now I know that you and I have the same taste in eye shadows and have the same technique. We have different skin types and preferences, so I know for foundations I typically love what Theresa Is Dead loves, but I typically don’t agree with her eye shadow preferences. And knowing that is so so helpful
Thank you, yes, there's far too many first impressions that are being called reviews. I wish more people would do in depth reviews, though I understand that's much harder than first impressions. But even more roundup reviews like you do after a month or whatever to give a final opinion is more helpful, more of those please.
I’m listening to this and I’m thinking you and I in relation to this context. I follow you for your reviews, mostly on eyeshadows. I LOVE color, but my application of it is so different than yours, but you are the first one I will go when looking for a review of colorful eye looks. Also, I tent to be brighter and you grungy, so when I’m working with something and achieving that look by default, I’m calling it an Angie look!
Loved the way you grounded a cool lid with a warmer crease. I have a slightly warmer undertone to my skin and struggle to make a purely cooler eye look look coherent w face makeup. Do I go cooler on the blush and lipstick? I know Heather Austin successfully mixes warmer and cooler tones on her face successfully. Thank you for helping to up my boldness scale on my eye looks!
As an aging dry combo in a humid climate, I am ALWAYS careful about those aspects. But I wasn't that smart watching "Influencers" in the beginning. I bought so much makeup that wasn't "meant for me" in the beginning, hard lesson learned. I have some that I watched fully knowing I won't like what they do but that is why I watch them, if they like it most likely I won't. I have slowed down on my spending dramatically due to knowing what I want and what to look for from certain people. And I ALWAYS check more than 1 before I let my FOMO knock me down. I love this collab, I love Nikki and your content. Well done love
I've always had issues with eyelid primers. I just use my concealer 🤪 I love how we all have different preferences! Plus, you mentioned not setting your eyeshadow primer with a powder... would that be the sane as setting your eyes with a concealer? I've noticed shadows were great, and I tried them again, and all of a sudden, they suck 🤔 I'm thinking the powder on the lids is to blame. 🤷♀️
I truly enjoy watching you apply makeup. You look so different from point A to a very colorful point B (both beautiful). Thank you
Love watching both of your content and opinions. I'm definitely a happy clown with my makeup haha and finding Nikki who has olive tone like me is awesome. Just love you ladies 💜
🥰🥰🥰
I love whipped mousse and baked products so much!
Looking for people who use the same products and techniques is great advice, one I'd never thought of before!
I love your wisdom and perspective on this topic. Thanks for sharing. The look turned out beautifully! 💛🌻🌻💛
Really wonderful, thoughtful discussion!
I think for me one of the biggest red flags just in terms of 'we do not have at all the same taste' is anything along the lines of "this is such a pretty topper shade!" or "this eyeshadow is so subtle!" Like NO, I want full intensity shimmer lol
When I get true, honest opinions, sometimes I know I will like something for all the reasons an influencer does not. I love the honesty about skin types and why someone does not like an eye palette. It may make me take a second look and then try something I might not have
I was lucky to get in on the muse Pre-Order, I planned on getting Serenity but it's elusive lol. I like seeing the palettes side by side and knowing the similar shades are different.
Dewy is my makeup "safe" word 🤣tfs Angie!!
All this makeup drama is why we here are thankful to have you. One of the very few RUclipsrs I trust with my money . Been following you on both of my accounts for years. And have bought so many things because of you. Never have felt duped
"Unless you're a smurf" hahaha you're the best! 💙
Excellent point about different techniques. I keep hearing people say the Natasha Denona cream-matte eyeshadow formula is awful when it's one of my absolute favorites and I wonder if it's because I love using my fingers for eyeshadow? I blend with a brush but I feel like I get the best pigmentation and have more control over placement when I go in with my fingers first, and for me at least the cream-mattes work so well with that technique.
Oh, and spraying my brush has literally never worked for me, it does the exact opposite of what it's supposed to and I don't understand why 😭 I just get LESS pigmentation and sparkle no matter how I try it? Also I don't want to get the shadow pan wet, even if I spray the brush after I've picked up the product I'd still be going in for more with a damp brush? I'm sure as hell not changing my brush in the middle, either. I don't understand how other people make it work???
Yeah ND's cream to powder formula works REALLY well for me if I use my fingers but less so with a brush. I have a love hate relationship with it since sometimes I want the precision or I have longer fingernails. Also, wetting the brush does zero for me too LOL if I want opaque adherence I use NYX Glitter Glue and/or my finger or even those silly little sponge applicators.
@@karovalkeaI have the same experience with spraying the brush. I do not like to get the pans wet it changes the formula and feel the same way about dipping with the wet brush.
I still have not figured out how to get the shine …and I also do not like using my finger.
I’m 51, so I’ve definitely “been around the makeup space” since the 80s, when magazines were the thing.
Any “reviews” that skew too dramatic are immediately ignored.
If something is “going to change my life”, it better DRAMATICALLY improve my life…. Give me a raise, become my “sugar parent”, something like that.
Oh, Nikki Raven is great. I’m ND and I vibe with her.
LOL I read ND as non-denominational at first 😂
One thing that really helped me was when it comes to skincare - only listening to people who do primarily skin care and who are OLDER than me. Nadine Baggot for example. My skin hasn’t been particularly cranky since I did that. A lot of younger YT try so many things that are at Sephora that are multi- concern products. Older skin care experts tend to layer single concern products and target just what your skin may need - since I did that no more breakouts or overly dry or overly oily skin. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Unless you're a Smurf then you might blend in well.......🤣🤡 That nearly made me choke on my coffee. BOL 💜💜💜 for you Kaisla, Tesla and Ricardo gets a hug🤗 and 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰for the kitty fur babies.
For me the biggest red flag is when a product especially foundation is "dewy or glowy". I am 38 with oily skin and live in a very hot and humid climate. No thank you! I don't need to look more oily or sweaty.
Yes! First impressions should be at least 4-8 hrs long!
Wow this look and your hair is amazing on you! I love your esthetic and honestly.
I've been following you for a while and I learned your tastes and style pretty well. When you don't like something, especially foundation, it is usually a thing I would like. Because I have a really dry skin. And I also have a cool toned skin that really likes cool purples, burgundies and reds, I don't follow your bronzer, blush, lipstick recommendations. Makeup is really personal. Even mascara depends on your lash type, what you want, what you like etc. Everyone has different tastes. When I first started makeup I used to follow recommandations blindly but in time I learned what my tastes are, what I lean forward. And I created my own style. But still I follow other beauty youtubers because I love their chitchats, I love their first impressions and reviews. They still give me an idea about the product I'm planning to buy.
I love watching your channel. You bring up fantastic points about how everyone has a different skin/preferences. I love cool tones/neutrals but have been wanting to try incorporating a little bit more color and love watching your videos for ideas.
For me it's the *puts on a little bit of product*= suprised Pikachu face! Life changing 😂
Love the look that color makes ur eyes POP! WOW BEAUTIFUL 😍
The shorter nails look so classy 🔥
Now I really want to try peach mattes. 😯 This look is right up my alley.
Yesss exactly I show the products on my channel with absolutely no filters but other apps I don’t review I always direct them to my videos to see in action ♥️ absolutely loving this collab ♥️ i gave Nikki a ear full of my red flags lol 😂 I’m so thankful you guys are bringing these topics to light 💜
This video made me realize that I don't know what brushes/techniques should be used with what type of eyeshadow color! Has anyone seen a video like that? I'd love to see one from you Angie because I do my eyeshadow very similar to you, but it doesn't always work out! Lol
I would love to see u review the new balm blush from dynessa myricks in the shade golden hour. That's supposed to be orange and then theres bellini that's more of an orange peach.
I adore Nikki!!! She's a real one.
Aww shucks🥰🥰
