If being a normal person was a compliment I give it to you. Coming to your channel and just watching your videos to get tips for my makeup application as a beginner at 34 feels the most normal thing to do. Feels like I’m watching someone I know teach me how to fix things where I’m going wrong and get back to my day. Thank you for keeping it real and simple
Love this look with such affordable products! Elf’s does have a highlighter. It’s their baked highlighter in a small compact. I used it for years, but a little too chunky now that I’ve played with makeup a little more.
It’s amazing what you said about drugstore foundations running yellow. Years ago, you couldn’t find a foundation with yellow undertones anywhere! It was all pink. And when I finally found one with yellow undertones, a great one by Halston, it got discontinued pretty quickly. These days, I have to watch and not get something that’s too yellow :-). Things change.
You are stunning! I have to be honest, sometimes I’m a little worried as I see you put products on how on earth it won’t look like too much. However you put it together & make it work…every…single…time!! You are such a great teacher & I learn something new every time I watch you! I am fairly new to your channel & I have been trying some of your tips & I can tell I need practice 😂, but I will keep watching & learning. Of course my 61 year old skin is much different than your beautiful skin but I still learn a lot!! You are a complete joy as well & ever stop being the amazing person you are! Thanks Nikki!!!!🥰
Love it! More drugstore! The look reminded me of a 70s look. Need to try the brow products and eyeshadows. Can you do a Colourpop or Milani video! Thank you!
Nikki, you have to get the H2O liquid pen eyeliner- it’s comparable to the Pat McGrath & Valentino liquid felt tip pen liners. I know, I own all of them 🫣
The Bite Size blush duo's come in beautiful colors with a different toned highlighter in each & also Elf has a baked highlighter & baked blush/highlighter combo!!!💟✨️💓✨️💟 also the new Simlpy Enchanted Face palette, that just came out for holiday, has highlighters in it!!💜💕💜💕💜 btw, BEAUTIFUL LOOK Nikki!!♥️😘💋💄💐👑💎💕 and thank you for doing this affordable look! 😊
I loved this video ❤ I tried many of e.l.f products and I liked almost all of them. I especially love their brow products, primers and setting sprays… e.l.f makes highlighters, but the formula isn’t great in my opinion, it emphases my textures and fine lines on my face, I use it as a body highlighter 👍😃
I agree about foundations running yellow. My Ulta person said she felt for me, because she was unable to find a foundation match for herself *in the whole store*. She walked around with me, and we could not find a good match for my light/medium neutral leaning a tad cool skin. And it's a big store!💙💙from Oregon
There are a couple of highlighters on their website and I would even say that the liquid halo filter thing can be used as a liquid highlight.. for a more natural look.. My favorite bite-sized eyeshadow is definitely the truffle one you used.. its sooo good!
Hi! For the camo concealer under the eyes, should yellow toned people go with a more neutral color? I got the fair warm for under eyes and feel it’s a little yellow. Would you recommend fair beige? New to concealers under eye and not sure if there should be more pinky/neutral tones there for contrast 🤍
Nikki you are gorgeous as always 😍 I love how you can help us girls who can't afford the expensive makeup products and create such a beautiful look with affordable drugstore products. I definitely want that elf matte eyeshadow stick immediately!! Thank you for you creativeness I can't wait to recreate this look it's so fun and yet so effortless, Love you💖💖💖
Lovee this! Can you do a full face of morphe? Nobody ever does morphe anymore and they have a lot of newer formulas! With them being affordable, I'm very curious how it all performs since I have only tried their brushes and eyeshadow.
I just saw they are now selling Morphe on Sephora's site--it through me for a loop, so I am assuming they are going to do some relaunching or something. I personally never used to the brand--I never trusted the gaggle of people who used to push it, but I'd like to hear a real pro's opinion as well
They have good brow stuff, cream blushes, lip liners, lipsticks. Really I've never tried anything that was horrible. At least not in the past couple years. Yeah they need to update their shimmer formula in eyeshadows and the OG foundation and concealer are awful but the tinted moisturizer and newer concealer are really good.
Hello beautiful, I really love your techniques and way of teaching makeup. Would you be able to recommend budget friendly, affordable setting powder? Thank you
We appreciate you coming on here with no makeup and taking one for the team! You're a natural beauty though, but it would be nerve-racking for anyone lol
I just love how you give all makeup a chance! I have a very large collection and my most recent purches during the Sephora sale was 2 shades of the Doir Matte foundation. However, 2 days ago I used my Wet n Wild matte foundation and I loved it so much. You absolutely have to try Believe Beauty from Dollar General......Yes I said Dollar General. Nothing over $5 and their foundation is STUNNING!!! Please give it a try so we can see if you like it as much as many of us shocked buyers have been! I am loving your videos as a new subscriber! ♥♥♥♥♥
I would love to see a full face tutorial of Sephora Clean Collection and your recommended drugstore equivalents, please. The brand I've been using is prohibitively expensive. Thanks!
I really love it.... I love the brand it's cheap but it has that sort of professional in it especially about the brushes. You're gorgeous as always and can't wait to see the next one. I voted nars because it's one of my favourite in everything. Kisses xxx...
Elf has a highlighter. It's shade champagne in Halo glow. Maybe they hadn't released it when you made this video? You look beautiful. I combine Elf products with high end products too.
I know this is an elf video and I do love them but side note.....I also struggle with brow products being too warm 9 times out of 10....and I've found Juvias place has ah-may-zing brow shades, the gel the pen and the pencil. I do love the elf but the shades of the jp are just cooler in general and they are also drugstore price ....worth a check
So how did it hold up after wearing it all day? You mentioned you have oily skin, did the eyeshadow crease/run by the end of the day? Did the concealer crease under the eyes?
I love this eye look! Definitely have to try. I'm 37 and have a few fine lines under my eyes so can never put this much concealer on 😭 does anyone have any tips? 😬😊
It's hard to get ELF products in Australia, in my area. It's got some stuff, but either it's sold out or its hard to get stock. I want to try the halo glow.
The white packaged brow pencil is good for people who have brows but just need a little fill in. I unfortunately don't so it's not fine enough for me but the formula is nice.
Am so glad that I saw your channel … can I ask you what is your shade in Estée Lauder double wear foundation? Please … because am in Dubai we don’t have elf stores here .. so I need to order all online… thanks for your answer…. Love you ❤ 🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪
The halo glow powdwer is definitely not a setting powder. It will slide around and off. I had to return it. It is actually a finishing powder but not worth it, in my experience.
Oh God yes! Even I struggle to find neutral foundation shades at the drugstore. They're either too warm or too cool, so I end up buying two shades to mix. The best affordable shade range I've seen is in the L'oreal True Match and the Infallible Fresh. Wear.
Hi Nikki! You are gorgeous without any makeup! Great video, I will def pick up a couple of items to try. I also love the Givenchy Prisme Libre voile rose, but I'm curious to know what you think of the elf pink powder.
As someone who doesn't wear makeup, how do I figure out my shade? I'm brunette, usually the lightest shade I think. Blue veins, red cheeks, red ish in my hair. Someone please tell me :)
It’s too bad elf discontinued their liquid highlighter in the white squeeze tube - that product was great for under makeup or over and it wouldn’t mess up your base products. Currently I’m using their dew stick highlighter in the light pink. I mix it with my hot pink cream blush and add just a pump of foundation to tone it down. I have a premixed small container of it for those quick makeup days.
P.S. Have you checked out Bellabeautébar cosmetics ? I think they sell only online but the eyeshadows they have are jaw dropping! Also they have lip colors but eyeshadow is what they focus on mainly.
Yeah the products that pump I don't really mind as much but please people don't open and use like lipstick and glosses. Things that can't be used again because you contaminated them.

Yes do another full face of ELF.
Yesss
It’s beautiful and it’s not the makeup. it’s the beautiful person that knows what she’s doing 💕
Omg thank you!!!!🥹🥹🫶🏼
100%❤
honestly.... u look phenomenal. makeup marketing is insane. you dont have to SPLURGE to look good. technique and good skin! thanks nikki :)
i absolutely loves these types of videos!!!!! more please!!!
Love this look with such affordable products!

Can you do a Colourpop or Milani video! Thank you!
My favorite look yet! This is stunning Nikki!
I was hoping to see you review the Halo Liquid Filter! And they do have some other highlighters, creams and powders. Maybe they’re just online!
I’ve seen them at cvs but mostly online.
I love watching you do your makeup. Looks like your painting a canvas. Love your vids 👍
I love this. 🥰 Can’t wait for your Part 2! 😘
Nikki you’re so stunning 😍 them cheekbones are always popping
This is a stunning look overall!! Thank you for doing this
The compliment to the husband made me happy- so dang cute 🥰
Love this video !! Just subscribed love the demo and how you explain the different aspects of the products well done
Yes, they have a highlighter called Moonlight Pearls. I am in Canada. Usually I am not able to buy products as we do have Ulta or Target.
I love, love, love what you did to your eyes!! They look absolutely gorgeous!! Keep up with the good work. I learn so much from you.
Would love if you could add at the end of the video or in the description box how the makeup wore during the day!
I absolutely love the wow brow
Love elf especially coconut setting spray, leaves a beautiful dewy finish

Only a third in & you look so pretty. Without all the extra, you are really pretty.
I mean, really girl look at yourself. 🤍
Love ELF.... can always use from the bite size eye shadow for highlight
Their bite size blushes had some GORGE highlighter formulas. They’ve either discontinued or are reformulating them sadly.
They have them available online.
Yes!! Guava was the prettiest peach blush with a perfect gold highlighter🥺
Can you recommend any shade?cause it's still available in my country

I currently use it cool brown pencil for my browns and so impressed 😜😜
Oh I love this!!! I wasn’t sure where “we” were with MAC since no one talks about them but I still use a TON of their products daily.
Soooo pretty!

I LOVE the Wow Brow, but I use neutral brown.
Hello beautiful, I really love your techniques and way of teaching makeup. Would you be able to recommend budget friendly, affordable setting powder? Thank you
We appreciate you coming on here with no makeup and taking one for the team! You're a natural beauty though, but it would be nerve-racking for anyone lol
Can you do a tutorial for the look from your personal Sephora Haul? Love your eyes in that video.
Your makeup is gorgeous I love elf makeup and I got a elf highlighter a few months ago xx
Awesome video Nikki xo
Love the eye look and the lipcolor
Hahaha…”Don’t do that” You’re so cute Nikki!! LOve your willingness to try drugstore brands. I’m 68 and the drugstore has come a long, long way :-)
Elf does have highlighters and its the only one I used for awhile. It is called apricot glow.
I love your videos , they are relaxing and also I'm learning the most I've ever learned from a yt video , thanks 👍
I just love how you give all makeup a chance! I have a very large collection and my most recent purches during the Sephora sale was 2 shades of the Doir Matte foundation. However, 2 days ago I used my Wet n Wild matte foundation and I loved it so much.

What a beautiful look you created ❤
I would love to see a full face tutorial of Sephora Clean Collection and your recommended drugstore equivalents, please. The brand I've been using is prohibitively expensive. Thanks!
I really love it.... I love the brand it's cheap but it has that sort of professional in it especially about the brushes.

I voted nars because it's one of my favourite in everything.

Elf has halo glow highlighter and halo glow liquid fiter n it also has lipliner of total 8 shades
Yes, elf does have one, a lot of stores may not carry them. They are called Elf Cosmetics Highlighting HD Powder - Sunset Glow
I know this is an elf video and I do love them but side note.....I also struggle with brow products being too warm 9 times out of 10....and I've found Juvias place has ah-may-zing brow shades, the gel the pen and the pencil. I do love the elf but the shades of the jp are just cooler in general and they are also drugstore price ....worth a check
Nikki love all the tips you shared really live today's makeup vibe the eyes looked amazing.😅 Thank you 😂
So how did it hold up after wearing it all day? You mentioned you have oily skin, did the eyeshadow crease/run by the end of the day? Did the concealer crease under the eyes?
I love this eye look! Definitely have to try. I'm 37 and have a few fine lines under my eyes so can never put this much concealer on 😭 does anyone have any tips? 😬😊
It's hard to get ELF products in Australia, in my area. It's got some stuff, but either it's sold out or its hard to get stock. I want to try the halo glow.
They have baked highlights and in the bite sized blush duos there's a highlight
😮what about the Halo glow liquid filter??? It’s viral !
How does it always look so good on you?
Elf do have Lip liners & for only £2 each!..., they are a lovely creamy formulation in great shades.
I thought they had a highlighter called Moonlight. Maybe it's discontinued? When I was at CVS, I saw clearance stickers on a lot of ELF products.
Those baked highlighters are still sold in the Elf website.
The white packaged brow pencil is good for people who have brows but just need a little fill in. I unfortunately don't so it's not fine enough for me but the formula is nice.
Am so glad that I saw your channel … can I ask you what is your shade in Estée Lauder double wear foundation? Please … because am in Dubai we don’t have elf stores here .. so I need to order all online… thanks for your answer…. Love you ❤ 🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪
That teal suits you so well! Also this is my favorite look on this playlist so far 😍
Gorgeous!
They have highlighters. In wands. But I think it must have come out after you made this. I would love to see a review for those.
Loving your channel, new subbie!!
As a hairdresser I always want to put her hair in a pony tail or clip while she does her makeup 😂
Also did she put concealer over powder?
That’s my eyebrows combo very affordable 👍
No I think that foundation color looks great on your skin.
The halo glow powdwer is definitely not a setting powder. It will slide around and off. I had to return it. It is actually a finishing powder but not worth it, in my experience.
Very pretty!!!
Elf does a jelly highlighter and a pressed powder one.
Oh God yes! Even I struggle to find neutral foundation shades at the drugstore. They're either too warm or too cool, so I end up buying two shades to mix. The best affordable shade range I've seen is in the L'oreal True Match and the Infallible Fresh. Wear.
Use a lip brush for wing control!!!! Genius. Who knew?
Hi Nikki! You are gorgeous without any makeup! Great video, I will def pick up a couple of items to try. I also love the Givenchy Prisme Libre voile rose, but I'm curious to know what you think of the elf pink powder.

I can’t stand elf products. They’re very affordable but never work for me
