The best makeup I found this year is all from Lisa Eldridge, but by far the thing I think is the best is her skin tint. It is my holy grail base product, and I swear, when I take it off, my bare skin looks better than before I put it on. It's magic, and I adore it so much.
I looove the LE Skin Tint. I recommended it to my youngest sister. I am 72 and she is 14 years younger. It looks great on both of it. I also am pleased with her new lipstick formula.
Totally agree on RMS Crystal Slipper. When my overall look seems to not be quite coming together I use that and it just kind of brings everything together.
Can’t wait!!! Did I tell u about my fav new toner HARUHARU WONDER has a new barrier essence milky toner it’s soooooooo hydrating like a moisturizer for me use that and the sunscreen in the morning g … so nice!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 great picks… agree!!!!!
I agree with you about the NARS Behave blush. It is perfect for a natural look, and the new formula for their matte blushes is superior, IMO. The old formula tended to hard-pan, but the newer shades I have do not. Great choice. Thanks for sharing.
Love this topic and your channel! My faves include some of yours😂😂😂 too! Foundation- Lisa E Skin Tint❤❤❤❤,Merit , Prada, 3 way tie- Meroda, Dior Stick, TirTir Powder- Prada, CT Finishing, Tower 28 (Pink), Tarte ((Lavender 🎉🎉🎉🎉), Lunar Beauty/ Fenty Bronzer❤❤❤❤❤- YSL, RMS (Beachwalk Betty) Gucci (1/2) Dior, Fenty Cream??? Cheek-Fenty Bakin Cakez, Sisley Blush Stick(Petal). I bought Dragon Palette. (And Barney's )too- first time!! Ty Elizabeth!! Awesome!!
@@marybonome9279 sounds like you picked up some awesome stuff this year. I fell in love with so many that I had to split it up into 3 different videos. 🤭
I purchased the dragon palette on black Friday, I am enjoying it and using it every time I wear makeup. Having said that I think I would only repurchase at 25-30% discount. I personally do not need two finishing powders and the highlighter is too shiny for my taste, but great as an eyeshadow. It is overpriced but great anyway 😊
@@soniasobaro9127 yes, the $90 price was a little crazy. I really love it, and I enjoy having the two finishing powders in there. This is the first holiday palette I have from hourglass where I use every pan. That's huge!
I love the YSL BLUSH in 37 HOURGLASS in SCENE and NARS BEHAVE I got S Appeal too and it’s pretty too also love all Smashbox palettes no one talks about them but Stephanie Marie that I’ve heard they are fantastic almost as good as the Lancome bronzer lol they are all smoothing and perfect shades for us love all the oranges for me 🤣 I got the Cali contour back to Cali and pink saturation they are all very similar pro just need 1
@@bookshopgirlilmariel2510 the Lancome highlighter was one of my worst products of the year. It makes my skin look dry and powdery. I wish it was amazing like that bronzer. 😥
@@thelipstickgal 😱 oh no!!! Thank you for your warning! Definitely going to check out the L'Oreal one and Maybelline is also releasing a new liquid one.
@@seedylee I'm wearing two of the rouge experience lipsticks from Lisa Eldridge. I'm wearing Lisa all over with Audrey right in the middle. I really like the Kimchi powder. It really surprised me how much I love it.
7:37 my skin has never looked better than with the Lisa Eldridge Skin Tint!!!! It’s my favorite foundation ever flawless plumping smoothing perfection 🤍🤍🤍🤍 add the Natasha D powder foundation on top … the best!!!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 everything LE!!!! Lipstick face wash lol mascara LANCOME BRONZER!!! Winning on complexion products!!!
I will totally get myself a mini of Tirtir foundation to try. I don't use foundation usually, but I think it could be practical for special occasions. How long do you think it will last (how many uses)? Thank you for the video!
@@stay_ccrane4962 I don't know. I'm sorry. I'm sure you could get many uses out of it, but it depends on how much you use. I really like the coverage and wear. If I apply it with the included sponge, it gives more coverage, but if I use a damp beauty sponge it's lighter. I really like and I'm impressed with how long it wears.
I got a mini to double check shade (13N) for me and I quickly got the big one and save the other for travel. So good! Feels like nothing! But, press lightly on the sponge and then use the inside black flat area to tap and work it around on your face- don’t go it heavy! Less is more!
I watched same video from Nikki and commented about the RMS powder. I’d purchased the RMS during Black Friday and had noticed my makeup not looking as good as it usually does. She said the RMS has tons of glitter… I swatched it directly next to my pre-reformulation Givenchy powder and did a side by side wear test with them. My Givenchy powder (shade 2) has much more sparkle than the RMS. During the side by side wear test I did notice that my powder products lasted longer on the Givenchy side but I also looked a little shinier throughout the day. For me, I feel like I might like the RMS more in the summer, or only using it on my chin and forehead with a puff. It’s a little too dry under my eyes and on my drier areas. Mine definitely didn’t have any sparkle or shimmer, though. How would you compare the RMS vs the Mario and Givenchy? I’m considering getting the Mario in the coming year if it kind of sits in the middle of the Givenchy and RMS (if that makes sense lol). I love the WA contour sticks! I got Biscuit as a contour and Truffle to use as a bronzer. It works very well as a bronzer shade on me. My skin tone is very similar to yours, but I have a peach undertone. Truffle has the right amount of red to look very natural on me. I always love your videos! You’re one of the few creators who it feels like is actually having a conversation with your viewers. I’m excited to see your other videos in this series.
@@lvvl1005 ok, I prefer the RMS over the Mario. It's not as dry as the Mario powder. When I say dry, keep in mind that it's very small increments that separate these powders. I love them all, but if we're getting down to the minutiae, here's how I'd rank them: Givenchy (original) RMS Mario I don't see and glitter in my RMS powder and I love how light it sits on the face. I like how the Mario one sets my face, but I don't like it as much with a brush. The original Givenchy powder was magical and I miss it. 😭 I really like the WA contour shade in biscuit. It's so good! Thanks for the compliment on my delivery, and thanks for watching today. Have a wonderful holiday season.
@ Agh! You’re the best! I totally understand about the tiniest increments 😂 Since I already find the rms drier than the Givenchy, I can take the Mario off my list. My skin isn’t super dry but I live in an arid climate so things can go dry quickly on me. Thank you! I literally just swatched all of my powders and noticed that my 2 Givenchy shades have different levels of glitter. They’re both the og formula but shade 2 is much more shimmery than shade 3. I found an unopened trial size Hourglass veil powder in the back of my drawer and the swatch looked beautiful compared to my other powders so I’m going to test it out today and see how it performs. 🤞🏻Have a great day!
Do you happen to have the Tarte blush in Exposed? I wonder how it compares to the NARS in Behave. I was thinking about getting it because I feel like cooler nude blushes are kind of rare, but now I’m thinking about the NARS.

@@elainebines6803 I do zoom in on swatches, just not all the time. Sometimes I feel it's necessary and other times I don't. Thanks for watching today. Happy holidays.
What a beautiful list 😀 not surprised Nikki didn’t enjoy the rms powder since she has oily skin, if they ever do a pressed version of i absolutely want to try it I just really hate using loose personally 😆my favorite beauty / skin care products I tried this year were: Elemis dynamic resurfacing pads The inkey list oat balm cleanser/mask, omega water cream moisturizer ND golden and INAW palettes LE rouge experience lipstick in the shade ashes of roses Benefit fanfest mascara
