I can't get over the fact that the new NYX palettes that are coming out are $30!! I don't know if that can even be considered "drugstore" anymore. Perhaps they are blazing a new trail of bridging/changing from a drugstore brand to a mid-end brand. Not sure that I like that! :-/ Hopefully they will hear all of us and head back to their roots!
That's insane!! 30.00!! Geez!! Not when I could spend an extra 10-25.00 more and get an amazing high end pallet! Love NYX, but no way!!! I do have the a few of their pallets..but I have never paid more than 12.00 for one..
Jessica Braun | JAMbeauty89 I was just going to comment this. I just can't do it. $30 is too much for drug store. I haven't pulled the triggered on the Mondern Renasance Palette because its 42$ and I am very careful which highend products I buy. And now NYX is like "only 30$". No. Just no. 12 more and I'm getting the Modern Renasance. Isn't the point of drug store make-up to get products with a similar quality to highend but none of the guilt? I don't know. Maybe thats just me.
Jessica Braun | JAMbeauty89 I think it's crazy but I'd like to swatch and see the quality. I'd only buy them on like a 50% off sale which I'm sure won't happen too soon lol
Jessica Braun | JAMbeauty89 I totally agree. Your face at 7:19 about the Angel Veil was the best. It should be turned into a meme and tweeted at NYX!! Haha. Love your videos. I totally trust your opinion!! :-)
Anyone else feel like NYX is going wayyyyyyy up in price and not really "drugstore" anymore? Both primers she mentioned are like 16 dollars and the new element palettes are 30!!!!! THIRTY DOLLARS!!! I have such a hard time buying NYX products because they are getting so pricey...
Snowflakes In July I hear you!! I was excited about the new elements as well until the price. I think they seem to be moving away from "drugstore" as here at my mall they just opened their own store early Spring.
I'm from a country in south-east asia and for us, NYX is an expensive brand, not just because of our shitty currency but also because NYX is just really *EXPENSIVE*. The only affordable thing from their whole brand is their soft matte lip creams! It's been 3 years since I last bought anything from them. ☹
In case anyone is interested, CVS is having a NYX sale of buy one get one for 50% off right now. If you have the CVS app there is also a $3 off $15 makeup coupon that can be applied in addition as well.
Jesika Murch mine is still on from last night. Lol. I had a rough night. Lol. And some of the morning. Lol. Liner is still going strong. I'm a mess today.🤣🤣🤣🤣
A NYX freestanding store has just opened near me (and the very first one in South Africa, too) so the timing of this video is just perfect! Drugstore is so expensive here in any case and NYX is no exception, so these types of videos are super helpful. Thanks again for the lovely video
Thank you so much for your honest content! I have never felt like you've been dishonest or trying to push products on us nonstop! I love to watch you even though I have oily skin and can't use most of the foundations and such you do! You have a good attitude and good heart and I will gladly follow your channel in the future! 💜💜
I'm 45 years old and I love the NYX Gotcha Covered concealer! It hides my imperfections very well including wrinkles. Makes me look younger and blends well. Also the NYX Vinyl liquid eyeliner is the absolute best! :)
Love your recommendations. You're almost always ahead in the game. Love these types of videos. Please do more because you're basically the only trustworthy one left 😣
You're not crazy. $15 for a NYX primer is (imo) outrageous. That's not drugstore. It's nearly high-end/prestige. I like the Angel Veil (oily skin gal here) and I bought and it and will probably buy it again, but it makes me so sad to see drug store prices rising. That's where the "average person" could buy their makeup without having to spend tons of money. Don't get me wrong I buy high end stuff too but not exclusively. Part of the reason I'm able to buy Bare minerals or Nars foundation and Clinique or Philosophy skincare is because I was able to also buy items at the drug store for less. That's how I built my collection and I hate to see that fade away.
I completely agree. You can go to Sephora and get something just below 30$ It's ridiculous how expensive Drug Store makeup is. A good tip is check out TJMaxx they often have high end makeup like yesterday I found the Too Face Totally Cute eyeshadow palette for 20$ and they often get Too Faced, physicians Formula, Klara, Ellen Tracy. NYX and high end stuff for cheap. I found the Too Faced Cat eyes and Love Palettes there a KVD eyeliner pen and just a lot. Just an idea to save money and get great makeup.
I was just about to comment the same thing! I waited forever for the launch and when it dropped and they were $30 each, I was like wth!? there are high-end palettes that are that much. I don't know who they think they are but they need to reevaluate..
That top is gorgeous on you. Very flattering with your skin tone. I love the Nyx Pore Filler. I use it on TOP of everything as a last step though as I find if I put something over it, it seems to cancel out and the pores come back. Works great over top of everything though and really does make pores disappear! Made a list of things I'd like to try that you mentioned and I'll try out the banana powder, hydra primer, dose of dew, epic ink liner, and waterproof concealer. We shall see! Thanks for the time for the review!
just pat it in on top with your finger. Has to be last step in order to stay in the pores to fill them. When I use it below foundation or powder, that layer just picks up the primer and the pores come back so I gotta just do it again anyway. So, I just stopped doing it til the end so I only have to do it once.
Because of you, Jess, I purchased my first Epic Ink Liner, and you couldn't be more right- it is the BEST liquid liner. EVER. The only issue I've had with it was when I stored it with the tip facing down. When I removed the cap to use the following day, it looked like a big glob of liquid liner had bubbled out the side near the tip. And when I went to use it, there was so much product at the end, that it bled into every crack and crevice on my lid. Now I store it tip up, and I've had no issues!
Yes to the Epic Ink eye liner! Works great for me with easy, smooth application and lasted all day. Yes to the Perfect Filter Eye Shadow Palette! And you're right about that odd champagne like color. The glitter starting falling, and I'm not crazy about the color on me. Thanks for another super video, Jessica!
So excited! I'm never this early! Thank you for your honest and reliable videos. I was so grateful when I found you! My skin tone is very similar to yours, so your reviews have definitely helped me in color matching. I love you and your videos. You and your hubby remind me of me and my husband. We're best friends and always have the best time together!
I just mentioned the Nyx Hydrating Primer in my summer favorites and I don't understand why people never seem to mention it here on UA-cam! I'm glad you spoke about it, it's such an hidden gem! Love you Jess!
With the primer spray, I use it after a normal primer, right before my foundation. I find it gives the foundation a bit more slip and helps it to not get cakey/ stuck to dry patches. I really like it. I did try the Epic Ink Liner and the brush splayed when I put the lid back on, and so it was unusable.
It oxidized a little darker than my skin tone before I blended it in. I'm very fair so I noticed it but once I blended it in it looked fine throughout the day and gave decent coverage. It's fine for everyday but it's nothing spectacular.
One of my favorite Nyx products are their loose pigments and glitters. You can totally make a diy dupe of the popular but expensive Stila glitter eyeshadows. Mix a little pigment with a drop of Mac fix + or ELF setting spray and a little glitter. Makes a bit of a paste. Paint with a brush on eyes. I own a couple of the Stila eyeshadows and my diy mix is just as pretty and longer lasting. Also, I love the jumbo eye pencils as eyeshadow bases. Oh! And the cream lid lingerie shadows are amazing too!
You’re so interesting yet informative, funny, relatable and just overall a joy to watch! Have been binging on your videos all night :) keep doing your thang!
I just recently purchased NYX epic liner and ... It transfers on the upper lid like ca-ray-zeyy. It actually gives me like, fallout under the eyes like if i was rubbing my eyes. no jokes. I used to stick to my Rimmel Glam eyes for years and it never failed me. so disappotined by nyx one because it is very easy and quick to apply.
The Nyx Ombre Blush in Feel the Heat is one of my go-tos. It's a nice bright warm toned red/orange with a gold on the paler side of the pan. If you like bright blushes and want to give the ombre blushes another try, I recommend this colour.
Surprised how few lip products you mentioned. Not mad - but I believe you've tried the Soft Matte Lip Creams, Liquid Suede, Lip Lingerie, etc. None of them are "greats" in your opinion? Just asking. Would love to know if you do have a lip product you recommend besides the Mega Shine Gloss. Love you!!
treetoppy I think it's probly because everyone always talks about them and she knows it ... and she wanted to show us the stuff that not a lot of people talk about it ... but I don't know im.not Jess lol I'm just guessing or maybe she due a video just on them?
The Nyx Ombre blush in the shade Mauve Me is beautiful. I wanted the Urban Decay blush in Rapture but didn't buy It because It seemed too similar. Mauve Me isn't patchy, blends easily, and lasts well. I bought two other shades because I love it so much. Honestly, I have never put the other two shades on my face. Mauve Me is a shimmer while the other two are matte.
Hey girl, what do use on your hair to maintain it from getting frizzy? I have curly hair and its almost like yours! Might be a little bit curlier but I never let it down anymore because of how frizzy it gets :( Would love a video seeing what your hair care routine is!
Karina N. Coconut oil right a out of the shower, healthy sexy hair soy renewal after you scrunch dry your hair with on old tshirt, curly sexy hair spray mousse, and a flexible hold hair spray then aid dry. I have crazy curly hair and I swear by this. I always get asked how I tame this mess lol. I also have the bottom half of my head shaved and it was the best decision of my life.
I love these kinds of videos over one specific brand! Jessica's my favorite youtuber to watch because you just seem so real! You inspired me to start my own channel based off my love of makeup and skincare! I'm just getting started but I hope to one day be successful!
The dose of dew stick is one of my all-time favorite beauty products! Idk why there isn't more talk about it. It's wonderful! I use it everyday, whether I do a full face of makeup or not. I couldn't buy it fast enough when it first came out! I even keep it in my purse everywhere I go. I just love it!
This video is amazingly helpful! Definitely going to try the primer and liquid eyeliner. Completely agree about the price point though- what are they playing at??
Hi from New Mexico, Jessica! Thank you for your take and input on NYX! Tried out the brand due to Emily Noel's suggestions and have new items to look into with your helpful review. Just wanted to say that you are a powerhouse, knowing how much teachers put into their profession and the kids, in doing both teaching and UA-cam on a daily basis. Thank you for always trying to be fair and up front on all products that you review! Best wishes for an awesome school and UA-cam year! Love love your top! 😊
What she loves: HD finishing powder in Banana Nyx hydratouch primer Superstay matte lipstick Nyx super dew highlighter (i think laura lee hated this :)) Nyx mega shine lipgloss Angel veil primer Nyx porefiller Nyx epic ink eyeliner
You look so gorgeous in this video! The hair, the shirt, the lips, and your eye makeup is so simple yet so pretty! I love your channel and 100% trust your reviews
I love the nyx pore filler primer. I notice a massive difference when I don't use it. My makeup looks so my better with it. I also love the nyx BB cream.
Lauren Munday I could not imagine spending $90 on NYX, that's crazy! You can almost buy a high end palette buying one palette and 4 of them is a Natasha denona palette and that's amazing quality. I don't know what they are thinking with those prices
I got the Tarte Tartlette in Bloom palette for $30 (with a coupon). For that price, you can get such an amazing, high end, perfect palette. Seems overpriced for Nyx to me!
Amanda Christner Holy crap 30$?! I didn't know they were going to be that much, I was interested in them but at that rate I could just buy a medium sized high end palette :/
Nyx is my favorite "drug store" brand. The brow gel is holy grail, the 2nd concealer is one that I always like to have bcuz its easy to use. The gotcha concealer is totally a dupe for the it cosmetics concealer but I find it way way easier to blend.
I bought the NYX gel eyeliner a couple months ago in the purple shade and it was way too creamy and not very pigmented. It worked alright when I layered it but it just wasn't that great. Also, I LOVE the NYX born to glow primer! I recommend it!!
Hi Jess, good luck on the new school year, my oldest just started 4th grade. I might have said this on a prior video you posted, but I wanted to talk about the white eye base/primer. I've owned it for years, and when I first used it I hated it and tucked it away for a long time. I recently pulled it back out, and instead of applying with fingers like I mostly do with potted primers I applied with a blending brush lightly all over my eye area and I feel that is the best application for the product as it leaves a thin, blended smooth surface that dries quickly, doesn't slide around or have patchiness. I'm pale too so I don't mind the white but I usually only use this if I'm doing a cool toned eye look, usually a darker grey in my crease, and a wing liner. Apparently they do make a cream/skin colored version that might work better. I want to buy the Essence brand "I Love Stage" eyeshadow base, it looks like a small tube of concealer with a wand, and it's $3.50 at Ulta. I tried it on my hand and it stayed on after light hand washing and had a good color on my skintone. I really want to try that NYX palette and that blue face primer now after watching your video!
I also like the NYX glitter glue. I have a few of their blushes. I love the matte bronzer. Also the Stay Matte but not flat powder foundation. Let's not forget about the eye liners and lip liners. I am loving the eye liner in Golden Bronze right now. There are so many great products.
Everyday this week we've had bad news on TV. Watching your video made me smile..."peel, peel, peel". You're a ray of sunshine in this world! Keep up the good work! Your videos are very informative but make your subscribers smile! Thank you 😍👍🏻
I tried the black gel liner in the pot, and it was terrible! Mine was super dry, and ran all day. I also used the Orangey peach ombré blush, in soft Flush I think, and I LOVED it! 😉
I really really love the NYX HD finishing powder in banana as well! ❤ I feel like I don't need much to put concealer as long as I set my undereyes with this because it's got this brightening effect which gives fresh look to the eyes. So good!
I went tubing with Nyx epic ink liner and all my makeup wore off except for my liner. I love the Nyx epic ink, it is for sure my favorite liquid liner.
Aahhh thank you for making this video! They have so many products at the drugstore that it can be overwhelming trying to decide what to try next. Loved this video 💜
I love the nyx lid lacquer! I like to put it over a powder eyeshadow on a primed eyelid and it's perfect, it doesn't pick up the shadow and it stays shiny all day through school and work in a restaurant. I always bring it with me but I have never once needed to touch it up. If you want to use it to do just a plain glossy lid, then I recommend using it with an eye primer (I use UD primer potion) because if you use it on your bare skin then, yes, it's going to stick. I would never recommend using it with a cream shadow, of course it's going to pick it up and move it around because the cream shadow has moisture in it. Also, please don't use lip gloss on your eyes!!! Many have a plumping agent like mint in them that could seriously damage your eyelids!!
I tried the NYX black gel/mousse liner and it dried out on me as well! I used it once or twice and it was dry in just a week. I'm so glad it didn't just happen to me.
thanks for the review and recommendations! the Manhattan Endless Stay Waterproof Gel Eyeliner is creamy and easy to apply between eyelashes. It is my favorite for waterline. Really a good product, considering its pricey analogues.
Jessica the eye liner u have to wet ur brush first lightly. Ever seen burlesque.:) Cher reaches Christiana how to use eye liner as well. It’s a beautiful type of eye liner if u can work it right
Taking you to the drugstore with me! I love this. I find NYX can be so hit or miss but I do love NYX. So you saved me a lot of wasted money. P.S. Your naturally dried hair is gorgeous!! It looks very nice! Your hair is the perfect curl. Definitely rock that more!
I use the elf gel black eyeliner in the pot also and lots of people think it's drying also but I put an oil, u can use the little bottle of oils like the hyped up ones the gold farsali and purple farsali, u can use those or even coconut or Olive oil, squirt a drop like the teeniest bit goes a looong way but remember, if it's drying, youd have to put in w really drop every use (:
I have terribly oiky skin and the Shine Killer primer is the best thing in the world for controlling oil for me! Nothing has ever managed to do that before! I also love the HD finishing powder (the lose one). A lot of people say it gives them flashback, and it did that to me too at first, but in that case you're just using it wrong and/or too much of it. What I'm saying is, don't bake with it, you don't need to bake in general. Just put a tiny amount on with your beauty blender and be sure to, well, blend it in well. Might still give flashback on deeper skintones, but I'm as pale as paper, so I can't tell you if it does. The Ultimates palette, the colourful one I mean, is one of my absolute favourites too! 17€ where I'm from, kinda pricy, but nowehre near any highend brand, so I can live with that. The eyeshadow singles are incredible too, oh my god! My go-to-10-minute-make-up includes 2 shadows, one from another brand and then the shade fireball in my crease and basically all around my eye (probably not sth most people would wear, I'm going for that eye infection aesthetic 😂). Let's not even start on the glitter primer and their glitter in general, why buy anything highpriced when you can get the NYX ones, they're AMAZING!! Their HD Concealer on the other hand... Oh boy, crease city. I'm only 18 but I was born with... not even fine lines, basicslly straight up wrinkles under my eyes. No matter what I set it with, didn't stay where I put it. My dark circles really aren't that extreme, but it didn't cover them, too...
You should try the Makeup Revolution Aqua Priming Base spray. I use it every day before I go to work all day without another primer and it keeps my makeup on all day!
Hi jessica, I love watching your videos, i really enjoy seeing how excited you get over something you like. I am from Australia and we have only been getting NYX for about 3 years and after that length of time the average collection that is showing in the only store it is in averages maybe 20 products. The price you quote for the cost blows me away as you need to about triple if for us. But then makeup is always wayyyyy more costly here. Enough whining. Keep the great videos coming.
I have the mauve ombre blush and love it, I use it with the elf beautifully bare blending brush. Love this video! And what's up with Nyx prices jumping up
I love many of NYX' products. Big fan of the Faux Black Eyepencils, their regular lip pencils, Butter Gloss and powder blushes. Fails for me were the Jumbo lip pencils and most of the single eyeshadows
Can you do a battle of the drugstore liquid lipsticks? So many new drugstore lippies have come out from Elf, Maybelline (as you mention), L'Oréal pro matte liquid lips, etc. It would be extremely informative and your lipstick reviews are always my favorite!!
I recently used a little sample packet of the Hourglass Veil primer and when I was applying it I was thinking, "I've used this before........but I know I haven't...." You've ended my confusion, I'm on my third tube of Angel Veil. Definitely very similar!
Jessica- thank you for this! I’ve been sucked into buying luxury brands for way too long. I just opened an Ulta account and am excited to try some of these products.
I swear before I started posting makeup videos on UA-cam I never ever bought NYX products. Now because of you and Samantha March I am checking them out more and more. I know this is going to go in a UA-cam made me buy it video. I know the nyx lingerie is on the top of my list to get because of Samantha March. Let's see what you make me want to get. Btw I was a tweet about you today by Jen Luvs Reviews. She has nothing but good things to say about you. I have to agree with her. I love your videos. Smart and great content! Much love to you. Now back to your video.
i never had that problem with the lid laquer! its one of my favorite NYX products! for me it dries down a little but but it stays tacky. just dont put a lot on and look down while it dries down.
I can't get over the fact that the new NYX palettes that are coming out are $30!! I don't know if that can even be considered "drugstore" anymore. Perhaps they are blazing a new trail of bridging/changing from a drugstore brand to a mid-end brand. Not sure that I like that! :-/ Hopefully they will hear all of us and head back to their roots!
That's insane!! 30.00!! Geez!! Not when I could spend an extra 10-25.00 more and get an amazing high end pallet! Love NYX, but no way!!! I do have the a few of their pallets..but I have never paid more than 12.00 for one..

I totally agree. Your face at 7:19 about the Angel Veil was the best. It should be turned into a meme and tweeted at NYX!! Haha. Love your videos. I totally trust your opinion!! :-)
Here in Australia its at least $34 its getting so expensive
Anyone else feel like NYX is going wayyyyyyy up in price and not really "drugstore" anymore? Both primers she mentioned are like 16 dollars and the new element palettes are 30!!!!! THIRTY DOLLARS!!! I have such a hard time buying NYX products because they are getting so pricey...
Snowflakes In July the primers are like an original product but yeah the new products are def expensive now
Nyx palettes $30???!!!
Snowflakes In July I hear you!! I was excited about the new elements as well until the price. I think they seem to be moving away from "drugstore" as here at my mall they just opened their own store early Spring.
Darcy Iltzsch they also have a store at my mall, hopefully they won't only pricier things/:
I'm from a country in south-east asia and for us, NYX is an expensive brand, not just because of our shitty currency but also because NYX is just really *EXPENSIVE*.

luvinamyst hey thanks for that nugget :) Good to know
luvinamyst My CVS doesn't sell Nyx products😭😭😭😭
I love how excited you get when you talk about products you love! It's so cute
I'm not going to lie....I've worn that eyeliner to bed in a cat eye and it STAYED ON THE WHOLE NIGHT. Absolute favorite.
That is AWESOME!!!
i've worn it through many sweaty 2-hour workouts, too. it's bomb!
Jesika Murch am I the only one who cant get gel liner to work?!! And I swear every time I buy one its dry within a week! 😢
Jesika Murch mine is still on from last night. Lol. I had a rough night. Lol. And some of the morning. Lol. Liner is still going strong. I'm a mess today.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your videos ate so soothing to watch. Feels like a friend is giving me makeup advice. Love you
Lesslie A.Solis agreed! 👌🏼
I'm so glad!!!
Jess, you are fast becoming my favourite beauty guru on UA-cam - your reviews are so thorough, honest and knowledgeable! xxx
No Jessica it's not just you!! NYX cosmetics is soooo expensive now and I don't know why and that's coming from in London! Really off putting
Rachel Seun yep the epic ink liner is £9 here rather than $5.99 like Jess said in the US like what 😱😱😱 so I only get what people love or recommend 🇬🇧
I am not used to seeing Jessica with lashes! But of course she looks beautiful.❤️
A NYX freestanding store has just opened near me (and the very first one in South Africa, too) so the timing of this video is just perfect! Drugstore is so expensive here in any case and NYX is no exception, so these types of videos are super helpful. Thanks again for the lovely video
I never skip the ads on Jessica videos because I love her so much and want her to get the $!
Haha girl, that is incredibly sweet
And thank you! :)
Me too!!
So if you skip the ads, they don't pay her? Well I guess I'm going to have to start watching the ads
I did not know that!
Thank you so much for your honest content! I have never felt like you've been dishonest or trying to push products on us nonstop! I love to watch you even though I have oily skin and can't use most of the foundations and such you do! You have a good attitude and good heart and I will gladly follow your channel in the future! 💜💜
Can you do Milani Best and Worst too? Thanks!
I love NYX, but I'm with everyone else. They need to think about where they came from as far as their prices on their newer launches go...
Kylah Mason I was all for the nyx Angel veil primer until she said it's $15 😂
I'm 45 years old and I love the NYX Gotcha Covered concealer! It hides my imperfections very well including wrinkles. Makes me look younger and blends well. Also the NYX Vinyl liquid eyeliner is the absolute best! :)
The mauve hombre blush is actually really nice.
The shade strictly chic in the ombré blushes is GORGEOUS, it's pigmented but not too much for the cheeks. I use it everyday
Your hair is very beautiful when is naturally curly😊
Love your recommendations. You're almost always ahead in the game. Love these types of videos. Please do more because you're basically the only trustworthy one left 😣
I love this. And I've also noticed that NYX is going up in price
I have every color of the NYX ombré blushes and they're some of my faves! Try the mauve/plum one. 💖
Me too and the mauve is my fav too!
You're not crazy. $15 for a NYX primer is (imo) outrageous. That's not drugstore. It's nearly high-end/prestige. I like the Angel Veil (oily skin gal here) and I bought and it and will probably buy it again, but it makes me so sad to see drug store prices rising.

That's how I built my collection and I hate to see that fade away.
I also love their jumbo pencil in Milk. 🙂 I find that it's a great base for eyeshadow. 😊
their new palettes are $30... they really need to rethink the price, they're so supposed to be drugstore!!!! :(
I completely agree. You can go to Sephora and get something just below 30$ It's ridiculous how expensive Drug Store makeup is. A good tip is check out TJMaxx they often have high end makeup like yesterday I found the Too Face Totally Cute eyeshadow palette for 20$ and they often get Too Faced, physicians Formula, Klara, Ellen Tracy. NYX and high end stuff for cheap. I found the Too Faced Cat eyes and Love Palettes there a KVD eyeliner pen and just a lot. Just an idea to save money and get great makeup.
Moriganna Brown I got a Smashbox palette from Marshalls for $15! I was so excited!
i really want to go to txmaxx and marshalls, apparently people have found the kvd shade and light eye palette because they're repackaging it!
I was just about to comment the same thing! I waited forever for the launch and when it dropped and they were $30 each, I was like wth!? there are high-end palettes that are that much. I don't know who they think they are but they need to reevaluate..
katie Yes! I found the Kat Von D shade & light palette at Tjmaxx plus her eye shadow quads. But not the eye palette its the contour one I found.
That top is gorgeous on you. Very flattering with your skin tone. I love the Nyx Pore Filler. I use it on TOP of everything as a last step though as I find if I put something over it, it seems to cancel out and the pores come back. Works great over top of everything though and really does make pores disappear! Made a list of things I'd like to try that you mentioned and I'll try out the banana powder, hydra primer, dose of dew, epic ink liner, and waterproof concealer. We shall see! Thanks for the time for the review!
imscanon how do you use it on top without smearing ?
just pat it in on top with your finger. Has to be last step in order to stay in the pores to fill them. When I use it below foundation or powder, that layer just picks up the primer and the pores come back so I gotta just do it again anyway. So, I just stopped doing it til the end so I only have to do it once.

I love the nyx liquid suedes I went shopping in the bright blue one with a blue smoky eye and got so many compliments xxxxxx
Yes to the Epic Ink eye liner! Works great for me with easy, smooth application and lasted all day. Yes to the Perfect Filter Eye Shadow Palette! And you're right about that odd champagne like color.

We're best friends and always have the best time together!
I just mentioned the Nyx Hydrating Primer in my summer favorites and I don't understand why people never seem to mention it here on UA-cam! I'm glad you spoke about it, it's such an hidden gem! Love you Jess!
With the primer spray, I use it after a normal primer, right before my foundation. I find it gives the foundation a bit more slip and helps it to not get cakey/ stuck to dry patches. I really like it. I did try the Epic Ink Liner and the brush splayed when I put the lid back on, and so it was unusable.
jessica you can spray the primer spray into your beauty blender instead of using water to moisten it. this way it makes ur foundation last longer
The camera quality in this video is amazing! I will be trying that banana powder ASAP
Nyx hd concealer oxidizes to straight orange on me I had to use it as an eyeshadow primer instead
Sara H oh my god me too. And it really doesn't do to well with being on my eyes either. So I wasted money.
Sara H me too! And it was way to thin- a huge disappointment. I didn't think of eyelid primer - maybe I will give that a go before I toss it
Try the Dark Circle Correcter. It's my holy grail.
Sara H On me it goes yellow before I blend it in. Lol
It oxidized a little darker than my skin tone before I blended it in. I'm very fair so I noticed it but once I blended it in it looked fine throughout the day and gave decent coverage. It's fine for everyday but it's nothing spectacular.
One of my favorite Nyx products are their loose pigments and glitters. You can totally make a diy dupe of the popular but expensive Stila glitter eyeshadows. Mix a little pigment with a drop of Mac fix + or ELF setting spray and a little glitter. Makes a bit of a paste. Paint with a brush on eyes. I own a couple of the Stila eyeshadows and my diy mix is just as pretty and longer lasting. Also, I love the jumbo eye pencils as eyeshadow bases. Oh! And the cream lid lingerie shadows are amazing too!
You’re so interesting yet informative, funny, relatable and just overall a joy to watch! Have been binging on your videos all night :) keep doing your thang!
I just recently purchased NYX epic liner and ... It transfers on the upper lid like ca-ray-zeyy. It actually gives me like, fallout under the eyes like if i was rubbing my eyes. no jokes. I used to stick to my Rimmel Glam eyes for years and it never failed me. so disappotined by nyx one because it is very easy and quick to apply.
I saw your interview in the Star! Imagine my surprise when I picked it up to read it! Congrats!
The Nyx Ombre Blush in Feel the Heat is one of my go-tos. It's a nice bright warm toned red/orange with a gold on the paler side of the pan. If you like bright blushes and want to give the ombre blushes another try, I recommend this colour.
Surprised how few lip products you mentioned. Not mad - but I believe you've tried the Soft Matte Lip Creams, Liquid Suede, Lip Lingerie, etc. None of them are "greats" in your opinion? Just asking. Would love to know if you do have a lip product you recommend besides the Mega Shine Gloss. Love you!!
treetoppy Yes, for this reason there should be good category or honorable mentions as well.
treetoppy I think it's probly because everyone always talks about them and she knows it ... and she wanted to show us the stuff that not a lot of people talk about it ... but I don't know im.not Jess lol I'm just guessing or maybe she due a video just on them?
treetoppy i recommend nyx full throttle!!!! Theyre matte lipsticks and they're so comfortable and dont budge!
treetoppy I was waiting for her to mention the Lingerie one because I wanted to know what color she likes, but I'll try to find it in another video.
NERDYBIRDIE 001 I found it. She got it in the color "Push Up" 😀
I love the nyx ombre blush in "mauve me!" I dont find the patchy problem with that one
Today is my first time watching you! Epic ink is amazing! I have 5 extra. I could never live without it. I'm a contact wearer. Best eye liner ever.
The Nyx Ombre blush in the shade Mauve Me is beautiful. I wanted the Urban Decay blush in Rapture but didn't buy It because It seemed too similar. Mauve Me isn't patchy, blends easily, and lasts well. I bought two other shades because I love it so much. Honestly, I have never put the other two shades on my face. Mauve Me is a shimmer while the other two are matte.
Hey girl, what do use on your hair to maintain it from getting frizzy? I have curly hair and its almost like yours! Might be a little bit curlier but I never let it down anymore because of how frizzy it gets :( Would love a video seeing what your hair care routine is!
Karina N. Coconut oil right a out of the shower, healthy sexy hair soy renewal after you scrunch dry your hair with on old tshirt, curly sexy hair spray mousse, and a flexible hold hair spray then aid dry. I have crazy curly hair and I swear by this. I always get asked how I tame this mess lol. I also have the bottom half of my head shaved and it was the best decision of my life.
Karina N. I would love that too! I have less curls but more volume and would love to know how she keeps the frizz in check!
I SWEAR by the Living Proof curling mousse!!!
I love these kinds of videos over one specific brand! Jessica's my favorite youtuber to watch because you just seem so real! You inspired me to start my own channel based off my love of makeup and skincare! I'm just getting started but I hope to one day be successful!
The dose of dew stick is one of my all-time favorite beauty products! Idk why there isn't more talk about it. It's wonderful! I use it everyday, whether I do a full face of makeup or not. I couldn't buy it fast enough when it first came out! I even keep it in my purse everywhere I go. I just love it!
Britt Deel Ive been trying to purchase it but it's been sold out at ulta for quite a while :/
Courtney try the NYX website!(:
I was so sad when even the link turned up with nothing. Just went to the NYX site and ordered my first dew stick!
This video is amazingly helpful! Definitely going to try the primer and liquid eyeliner. Completely agree about the price point though- what are they playing at??
There are 12 shadows that come in the NYX element pallets that breaks down to 2.50 a single pan , it's not bad at all if you break down the price
Brandi Obrien urban decay naked are 3.50 a pan and they considered high-end I think drugstore are normally like 50-1.00 a pan ♥️
It's nice to see the 'Hydra Touch' get some love.. primers don't usually work for me, but that one is really nice.
I just got that banana powder and I LOVE it!
Hi from New Mexico, Jessica! Thank you for your take and input on NYX! Tried out the brand due to Emily Noel's suggestions and have new items to look into with your helpful review. Just wanted to say that you are a powerhouse, knowing how much teachers put into their profession and the kids, in doing both teaching and UA-cam on a daily basis. Thank you for always trying to be fair and up front on all products that you review! Best wishes for an awesome school and UA-cam year! Love love your top! 😊
Thanks, Jessica. I will try the Angel Veil. Just bought the Hourglass. I have UBER oily skin and the Hourglass is a little too much. Great video!
What she loves:
HD finishing powder in Banana
Nyx hydratouch primer
Superstay matte lipstick
Nyx super dew highlighter (i think laura lee hated this :))
Nyx mega shine lipgloss
Angel veil primer
Nyx porefiller
Nyx epic ink eyeliner
You look so gorgeous in this video! The hair, the shirt, the lips, and your eye makeup is so simple yet so pretty! I love your channel and 100% trust your reviews
I love the nyx pore filler primer. I notice a massive difference when I don't use it. My makeup looks so my better with it. I also love the nyx BB cream.
I have and love the Ombre blush in Mauve me, it isn't patchy on me at all!
I also love the HD Banana powder and the Control freak eyebrow gel :)
Have you tried the Elf brow pomade? I LOOOOVE it!
no! i will try it!!
How does it compare to Anastasia? I just got the ELF "supposed" dupe to kvd tattoo liner/stila liner and it sucks large :(
Do you think you'll get any of the nyx element palettes? I want to get one, but I don't know if it's worth the $30 price tag so I need your opinion!
Amanda Christner I want three of them, but the price is insane! I can't convince myself it's worth it.
Lauren Munday I could not imagine spending $90 on NYX, that's crazy! You can almost buy a high end palette buying one palette and 4 of them is a Natasha denona palette and that's amazing quality. I don't know what they are thinking with those prices
I feel like NYX will become a high end brand in the future. Their prices are insane! What are they thinking?!
I got the Tarte Tartlette in Bloom palette for $30 (with a coupon). For that price, you can get such an amazing, high end, perfect palette. Seems overpriced for Nyx to me!
Amanda Christner Holy crap 30$?! I didn't know they were going to be that much, I was interested in them but at that rate I could just buy a medium sized high end palette :/
Nyx is my favorite "drug store" brand. The brow gel is holy grail, the 2nd concealer is one that I always like to have bcuz its easy to use. The gotcha concealer is totally a dupe for the it cosmetics concealer but I find it way way easier to blend.
I have the ombre blush in strictly chic and it works well for me. A lot of pigmentation and easy to blend
Hi guys wondering which Nyx concealers the best
I bought the NYX gel eyeliner a couple months ago in the purple shade and it was way too creamy and not very pigmented. It worked alright when I layered it but it just wasn't that great. Also, I LOVE the NYX born to glow primer! I recommend it!!
I use the primer spray as a setting spray and it works really well that way!
Hi Jess, good luck on the new school year, my oldest just started 4th grade. I might have said this on a prior video you posted, but I wanted to talk about the white eye base/primer. I've owned it for years, and when I first used it I hated it and tucked it away for a long time. I recently pulled it back out, and instead of applying with fingers like I mostly do with potted primers I applied with a blending brush lightly all over my eye area and I feel that is the best application for the product as it leaves a thin, blended smooth surface that dries quickly, doesn't slide around or have patchiness. I'm pale too so I don't mind the white but I usually only use this if I'm doing a cool toned eye look, usually a darker grey in my crease, and a wing liner. Apparently they do make a cream/skin colored version that might work better. I want to buy the Essence brand "I Love Stage" eyeshadow base, it looks like a small tube of concealer with a wand, and it's $3.50 at Ulta. I tried it on my hand and it stayed on after light hand washing and had a good color on my skintone. I really want to try that NYX palette and that blue face primer now after watching your video!
....oh, and the banana powder too. the Nye powder is too yellow on me but this might be a hit. have you tried their #nofilter powder yet?
The NYX ombré blush in MAUVE is so pretty. I love it for my skin tone & especially for night looks
Try sticking the gel liner in the microwave for a few seconds (5) and see if that helps
I also like the NYX glitter glue. I have a few of their blushes. I love the matte bronzer. Also the Stay Matte but not flat powder foundation. Let's not forget about the eye liners and lip liners. I am loving the eye liner in Golden Bronze right now. There are so many great products.
Everyday this week we've had bad news on TV. Watching your video made me smile..."peel, peel, peel". You're a ray of sunshine in this world! Keep up the good work! Your videos are very informative but make your subscribers smile! Thank you 😍👍🏻
The turquoise color looks so good on you!
So happy you did NYX! They are one of my fave drugstore brands, but they are definitely hit and miss!
I tried the black gel liner in the pot, and it was terrible! Mine was super dry, and ran all day. I also used the Orangey peach ombré blush, in soft Flush I think, and I LOVED it! 😉
I really really love the NYX HD finishing powder in banana as well! ❤ I feel like I don't need much to put concealer as long as I set my undereyes with this because it's got this brightening effect which gives fresh look to the eyes. So good!
I LOVE when you do these videos, because you do amazing reviews and doing a whole brand helps me save so much money!! Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
I think your hair looks so amazing!
I went tubing with Nyx epic ink liner and all my makeup wore off except for my liner. I love the Nyx epic ink, it is for sure my favorite liquid liner.
Aahhh thank you for making this video! They have so many products at the drugstore that it can be overwhelming trying to decide what to try next. Loved this video 💜
The Angel Veil primer is incredible!
I love the nyx lid lacquer! I like to put it over a powder eyeshadow on a primed eyelid and it's perfect, it doesn't pick up the shadow and it stays shiny all day through school and work in a restaurant. I always bring it with me but I have never once needed to touch it up. If you want to use it to do just a plain glossy lid, then I recommend using it with an eye primer (I use UD primer potion) because if you use it on your bare skin then, yes, it's going to stick. I would never recommend using it with a cream shadow, of course it's going to pick it up and move it around because the cream shadow has moisture in it.
Also, please don't use lip gloss on your eyes!!! Many have a plumping agent like mint in them that could seriously damage your eyelids!!
I tried the NYX black gel/mousse liner and it dried out on me as well! I used it once or twice and it was dry in just a week. I'm so glad it didn't just happen to me.
thanks for the review and recommendations! the Manhattan Endless Stay Waterproof Gel Eyeliner is creamy and easy to apply between eyelashes. It is my favorite for waterline. Really a good product, considering its pricey analogues.
Jessica the eye liner u have to wet ur brush first lightly. Ever seen burlesque.:) Cher reaches Christiana how to use eye liner as well. It’s a beautiful type of eye liner if u can work it right
I use the Epic Black Gel Liner and I love it. I use a brush and get a great line from it.
Taking you to the drugstore with me! I love this. I find NYX can be so hit or miss but I do love NYX. So you saved me a lot of wasted money. P.S. Your naturally dried hair is gorgeous!! It looks very nice! Your hair is the perfect curl. Definitely rock that more!
I use the elf gel black eyeliner in the pot also and lots of people think it's drying also but I put an oil, u can use the little bottle of oils like the hyped up ones the gold farsali and purple farsali, u can use those or even coconut or Olive oil, squirt a drop like the teeniest bit goes a looong way but remember, if it's drying, youd have to put in w really drop every use (:
The part of the video on the lid lacquer... hilarious!
I have terribly oiky skin and the Shine Killer primer is the best thing in the world for controlling oil for me! Nothing has ever managed to do that before!
I also love the HD finishing powder (the lose one). A lot of people say it gives them flashback, and it did that to me too at first, but in that case you're just using it wrong and/or too much of it. What I'm saying is, don't bake with it, you don't need to bake in general. Just put a tiny amount on with your beauty blender and be sure to, well, blend it in well. Might still give flashback on deeper skintones, but I'm as pale as paper, so I can't tell you if it does.
The Ultimates palette, the colourful one I mean, is one of my absolute favourites too! 17€ where I'm from, kinda pricy, but nowehre near any highend brand, so I can live with that.
The eyeshadow singles are incredible too, oh my god! My go-to-10-minute-make-up includes 2 shadows, one from another brand and then the shade fireball in my crease and basically all around my eye (probably not sth most people would wear, I'm going for that eye infection aesthetic 😂).
Let's not even start on the glitter primer and their glitter in general, why buy anything highpriced when you can get the NYX ones, they're AMAZING!!
Their HD Concealer on the other hand... Oh boy, crease city. I'm only 18 but I was born with... not even fine lines, basicslly straight up wrinkles under my eyes. No matter what I set it with, didn't stay where I put it. My dark circles really aren't that extreme, but it didn't cover them, too...
You should try the Makeup Revolution Aqua Priming Base spray. I use it every day before I go to work all day without another primer and it keeps my makeup on all day!
Hi jessica, I love watching your videos, i really enjoy seeing how excited you get over something you like. I am from Australia and we have only been getting NYX for about 3 years and after that length of time the average collection that is showing in the only store it is in averages maybe 20 products. The price you quote for the cost blows me away as you need to about triple if for us. But then makeup is always wayyyyy more costly here. Enough whining. Keep the great videos coming.
I have the mauve ombre blush and love it, I use it with the elf beautifully bare blending brush. Love this video! And what's up with Nyx prices jumping up
Hayley Comments I love it too!!!
Love the suggestions. Also loving the Disney vlogs too. Going there in October. So making me so excited!
I love many of NYX' products. Big fan of the Faux Black Eyepencils, their regular lip pencils, Butter Gloss and powder blushes. Fails for me were the Jumbo lip pencils and most of the single eyeshadows
Can you do a battle of the drugstore liquid lipsticks? So many new drugstore lippies have come out from Elf, Maybelline (as you mention), L'Oréal pro matte liquid lips, etc. It would be extremely informative and your lipstick reviews are always my favorite!!
I like the primer in the blue tube also. I am so overwhelmed by all the lip products and some of the eye products.
I recently used a little sample packet of the Hourglass Veil primer and when I was applying it I was thinking, "I've used this before........but I know I haven't...." You've ended my confusion, I'm on my third tube of Angel Veil. Definitely very similar!
Jessica- thank you for this! I’ve been sucked into buying luxury brands for way too long. I just opened an Ulta account and am excited to try some of these products.
The mousse liner was great for the inner eye. However, mine did dry out fairly quickly, too.
I swear before I started posting makeup videos on UA-cam I never ever bought NYX products. Now because of you and Samantha March I am checking them out more and more. I know this is going to go in a UA-cam made me buy it video. I know the nyx lingerie is on the top of my list to get because of Samantha March. Let's see what you make me want to get. Btw I was a tweet about you today by Jen Luvs Reviews. She has nothing but good things to say about you. I have to agree with her. I love your videos. Smart and great content! Much love to you. Now back to your video.
I love Samantha!!
I have one of those nyx ombre blushes its called "mauve me" and I love it! It's not patchy for me
Thank you for this video! I love the pore filler. It helps me out so much with my fine lines and my crazy pores.
i never had that problem with the lid laquer! its one of my favorite NYX products! for me it dries down a little but but it stays tacky. just dont put a lot on and look down while it dries down.
