When she said she was gonna do her whole face with the tiny sponge I was honestly expecting a full face of a regular makeup routine (foundation, concealer, etc.), lol... wasn't expecting *this* xD
Different brushes have different densities of fibers which make them more specific for a use... like a non dense is better for blending where as a brush with a bunch of tightly packed fibers is better for color pay off
Darcy Does Stuff well the sponge applicators don't work on me I just can't seem to get any pigment on my eye when using the sponge applicators so I guess it's not for everyone
The point of the video is to show that the eyeshadow applicators can replace all the expensive packing brushes and that you just need your eyeshadow applicators and fluffy brush. Its a way cheaper alternative to all the 20 dollar brushes out there i think
Sophia Cardenas it's a personal preference. I don't like sponge applicators because I feel like it's kind of unsanitary to use them more than like once, and the cost does add up over time. Brushes can be washed and last for years and years if you take care of them.
Hmm conspiracy theory: maybe eye shadow primer is purely invented for the sake of brushed so we buy more stuff (primer, sh*t ton of brushes) instead of just a simple sponge applicator
Well i have oily and hooded eyelids. My eyes need to be primed in order for anything to stick. Otherwise it just melts off. So I guess you may or may not need an eye primer depending on your eye type. I need it not for color pay off. But if I don’t, nothing will stay on my eyes
I love that you made a whole video love letter to sponge applicators. I gotta say the takeaway I got was that we should all just be using our fingers to apply the shadow.. we've been sold a pack of lies
For helping all of us with this hack, I give you a blessing: May your foundation always match your neck and your skin be flawless. You eyeliner will always be sharp. Let your concealer never pull a disappearing act. And your eyeshadow perfectly blended.
I hate it when I get an eye shadow pallet and I see some glitter shadows but there is only a thin layer of glitter on the top and no more glitter throughout the shadow!
The bristles will still catch the product and leave it in the brush, that's why kids makeup that comes with a sponge applicator actually has more pigment unless you buy more eyeshadow primer and eye cream shit which is literally the equivalent to using a sponge applicator
Thank you! Every eyeshadow is sold with a sponge like... You are supposed to use it! I just bought a brush that's a brush on one end and a sponge in the other. Crazy stuff.
Don't worry, Cristine! I completely 100% agree that using eyeshadow applicators are far better than stupid brushes! Brushes are for blending, that's the only reason they use them! 👁️👄👁️
Moka Akashiya i usually have long ass acrylics and i can still use my fingers to blend eye products such cream shadows, eye shadow primer and more, i also use the righr brushes for eye shadow application and the right ones for blending 😂 but yes she is right on something, the sponges work on applying shadow
duchesswannabe Make up artists can't use their fingers on clients, it's just unsanitary. I guess if you're not a make up artist then go ahead but it's still kind of unsanitary compared to a new applicator just opened.
I'm a makeup artist and I use both sponges and brushes depending on the desired result...but honestly, on my own face, I use my fingers more often than not. :P
I don't know how "good" it is? I think the reason it's not used more is because you obviously have to clean your hands well first so you don't transfer any bad bacteria, but I would also say it's because your face is delicate and you have to be careful or you can damage your skin? I'm not 100% sure but brushes have a lot more give in them than your fingers do and pull less on your skin, not to say that it's painful but doesn't really help keep your face young if you know what I mean (hint, hint: wrinkles for life, lol)
Tuakie you're right; no, it's not very hygienic and yes, brushes are softer on your delicate eye skin, though we rub our eyes with our fingers all the time and as long as you're gentle, your ring finger (having the least amount of strength) will not damage you... I'm honestly just a little lazy sometimes. Of course, I don't stick dirty fingers into a clean pan that I ever plan on using on a client but I definitely blend and soften the makeup already on my eyes with my own (clean) fingers. I have found that the natural oils and warmth help to mix the colours and soften the edges so you spend a lot less time blending. On the point of life long wrinkles, if you don't want those............die young?..........that's a terrible thing to say but we all wrinkle. The best thing for preventing PREMATURE wrinkles is to stay hydrated and avoid sun damage, smoking and other chemicals, (sadly, many of which are found in makeup, so) and makeup. I get a lot of compliments on my skin and people constantly ask me what I do and honestly, I'm allergic to most makeup so I just don't wear it. It helps, of course that I work freelance and not in a job where I have to wear it everyday (I used to, that's part of how I ended up allergic. :/ ). Anyway, I have no idea where I was going with this and I've rambled on way too long. (I have a cold right now. My brain is coming out my nose. :P ) I hope some of it made sense/helped. :)
100% better with sponge, even inexpensive shadows look good when applied with sponge. Applies faster, then blend with brush, great tip. I have watched videos of various "gurus" saying they blend eyeshadow for 30 minutes, what the WHY? I have no desire to spend 30 minutes on eyeshadow. Makeup gurus are WRONG, or selling us on brushes.
Beauty "gurus" are just makeup enthusiasts, not makeup artists. So few people understand that. If people want actual solid makeup advice, they should watch an artist. Hell, Kevyn Acoin even wrote a book about doing makeup lol
@@vxxmari because YOU know what brushes I have used????? I just love the "gurus" who recommend spending 30 minutes "blending"! IMO anyone who spend 30 minutes blending their eyeshadow might want to consider getting a REAL life! But, if you are happy with your fabulous brushes, you do YOU!
Yeah, use a flat brush to pack on colours and a fluffy brush (the one you use in the video) to blend. BUT in the case you don't have a flat brush, sponge applicator does work really well too. And it's cheap. And it usually comes with the palette you bought. (Or just use your finger to pack on the colour.) So, Cristine isn't totally wrong either. Hahaha.
Because that was the start of polish mountain. ;-) Everything she touches turns into..........................................HOLO, including her play button, LoL.
...I don't know much about make up But I generally hear girls praise Morphe brushes...apparently they are among the best - I see those get pulled out regularly. But I'd never even heard of Morphe eye shadow or even make up in general until I watched this video. I don't ever see chicks pulling out Morphe make up - so maybe their equipment only is the best way to go - ? I dunno
I died with how many times she said it! 😆 But she's actually and TOTALLY RIGHT. THANK YOU, Cristine, for figuring this out for us! I've been annoyed as sh** with brushes not packing on the color.
Rewatching this in 2019 with my daughter (she is 10.... I am 30). I use both. A lot of eyeshadow pallets you can use with a damp brush to intensify the color if you dont have a sponge applicator handy as well. Love you Cristine!
Adding to this hack... I apply my eyeshadow with an applicator and blend it with my fingers, cuz I have no money for brushes and actually looks good and even better than what I've seen on girls with brushes. It's not about how many things you have but about what you can do with the things you already have...😎 EDIT: So it turns out I gave up on the trend... I bought a set of brushes... And, for my surprise, they are actually usefull. For blending I mean, but I still do the finger-aplicator combo but using the brushes... Sorry, I failed you 😐
Tuti Álvarez yes people would be so in awe and say how good my makeup looked and would asked what i used and itd legit be dlar tree and other no name 99cent store makeup lol and theyd think iwas lying thats why i always cri.ge over the doing my makeup with 1$ makeup videos and they cant even make it look good and hate on the products but when u dont have much its about what u do with it and u really can do good looks with near to nothing
I recently bought an expensive and very popular nude eye shadow palette that people say fits everyone, but I just couldn't make it work for me. It just looked like dirt on my skin even though the application and blending was on point. I suddenly found out that golden and orangy colours actually looked much better on me, so I searched through my new and old makeup to try and find all the powder stuff I had in those warm colors, and what I found was a glittery coral blush from bobbi brown that someone gave me several years ago(and that I use as a blush all the time), and a dollar store metallic eyeshadow palette that I bought many years ago. I always thought this palette was really bad and poor quality, so I never used it,, but I found out that it had very good pigmentation and that blending some of the colors together made just lovely colors. So now I use dollar store metallic eyeshadows on the lids and the inner eye, and bobbi brown blush in the crease, and it looks way better on me than any eyeshadow I have ever worn.
Hell yeah! But honestly, there are super affordable brushes now at the drugstore. The $3 ELF brushes are legit (not the $1 ones, they're crap), and you legit need like 1 or 2 of them tops... just to blend. Know what I'm sayin? Just putting that out there, as if you didn't already know.
When trying to get intense pigmentation from a brush use a dense flat brush not a loose fluffy blending brush! You will get much better results that way!!
I wasn't aware that those sponge applicators were like... "old school" or whatever you wanna call it. I've always used them cause they come with the makeup I buy x'D
sounds like what she would pick to put on her tombstone. She does her thing and doesn't care what any norm says. And therefore surpasses all the rest by finding new solutions.
Pizza Queen Morphe in general is a garbage ass company. Their products are shit and big beauty gurus are keeping them in business. Also I've been watching way too many beauty drama videos and should probably seek help.
Ximena Salgado I actually like Sigma. I originally purchased their brush cleaning products years ago, before the beauty industry decided to invest their marketing in influencers. I've since bought their brushes and I do like them. I've also tried Morphe brushes (not their makeup though). I will give them credit that they are affordable. My issue with Morphe is influencers pushing them like they're hot shit when their products are in no way innovative and are in fact very underwhelming. Sigma's products do speak for themselves, and from what I understand their brush cleaning products are what got people talking about them, not them paying people to push their product (even though they do that now). The stuff I bought from them in 2014 still going strong.
Feeling old AF because getting one of those old eyeshadow brushes was the best part of getting a little plastic container of bright blue and pink eyeshadow that your grandma got you to make you feel more like a "big girl" but losing them after 10 minutes because those things are SO HARD TO KEEP TRACK OF!
Katie Manns yassss I'm actually 12 and I know what these things are I had a Barbie makeup set with bright green, blue, pink, and yellow eye shadows and it came in a compact with one of those sponge applicators and man was it pigmented though I didn't know at the time because I was like 7 so I didn't know anything AND CAN YOU GUESS WHERE THAT COMPACT WENT IN THE TRASH BECAUSE I LOST THE FRICKIN APPLICATOR
I mostly agree with this! Eyeshadow brushes can sometimes make my shadow look patchy, where the sponge applicators don’t. I also don’t understand the need for multiple eyeshadow brushes. I literally only use one or two and my makeup looks great!
THANK YOU! I have always preferred sponge applicators because I have NEVER been able to get eye shadow brushes to work. I always wondered what I was doing wrong because they NEVER pick up enough product. BTW, I used to love the black velveteen sponges that came with CHANEL eye shadows. They were the BEST!
Omg thank you so much Cristine! You have solved most of my makeup problems! This def works for darker girls such its so hard to get the colour to show as is. i thought it was my brush or maybe my kinda cheap eyeshadow kits but hey how am i suppose to get all the colours i need. Love ya girl!
It makes me laugh a little because from what I can tell she is using a blending brush to apply color to the lid! It makes me laugh even more that I am a couple years too late! 💛
I know people are all like, "Cristine, you're not supposed to use a fluffy blending brush, blah blah blah" Hell, this opened my eyes regardless, eyeshadow applicators are much cheaper than packing brushes or whatever. Makeup brushes aren't cheap, I mean there are ones that are super cheapy, but you get what I mean. I am totally going to try this just because it definitely looked more pigmented here. Plus it's really a cheaper alternative. We're all still discovering new things in makeup, of course Cristine is not gonna know what a packing brush is. Remember she's still learning. Personally, she does better makeup than me.
Neither of them are cheap. They literally cost the same in my country.. Also there are denser brushes that give the same effect as well as sponge brushes with longer handles. Issue is that sponges are harder to clean. Which is why your beauty blender might be moldy inside and give you pimples and shit
u can buy a $1-3 eyeshadow packig brush from Elf or W&W that is cruelty free, is a great quality & will last for years! U only get so many uses w those sponges...
Heidi Hagemeyer packing brushes are dense and used for higher color payoff and blending brushes are fluffier and used to blend out the edges of eyeshadow to give a better transition between the eyeshadow and skin so of course the sponge did better than a brush not meant to pack on color
She is, but she's also right. I verified it myself. Every time a beauty guru decides that a shadow is better applied with their finger they should just use a sponge applicator instead.
Sen Tariana actually the reason some shimmers look better when applied with your finger is because of the oil in your hands. Different formulas react better with different tools :)
Paula Rillo I agree too, I've used my 35k palette probably twice, it has like no pigment. Kat Von D's Shade & Light contour and eye is incredible, I'm on my second palette now. The pigment and colours are amazing and I honestly don't think her brand gets enough recognition.
Paula Rillo I like their newer palettes. Apparently the quality has changed a lot recently. But yeah they're really nothing special. But you can find endless tutorials which is fun XD hahaha
You should use a packing brush in stead of a blending brush because it's more dense where as a blending brush (the brushes you were using) tend to be fore fluffy so they don't pick up as much product as a dense packing brush xxx love you still xxx
You’re amazing and one thing I LOVE is you speak very similar to pewdiepie. No one gets our dramatic awkward goofiness ( myself included). You’re my now favorite beauty guru💕
Christine is one unique devil that needs to master the arts of the beauty without using the product takeover brush she wants to avoid the MAKEUP DEVIL 😂😭😂
I know, 2 yrs late, but I use both. I don't care what beauty blogger, blogger says. Some eyeshadows work better with the brush, others with the applicator. This is probably the best beauty video ever!
I'm probably echoing a few people here- I don't enjoy wearing makeup at all, and very occasionally do my nails, but I love watching your videos as they're so entertaining! :)
I still love sponge applicators waaay more than brushes! Thanks for validating these feelings, Simply Not Logical! 😃💜 Love your videos and your humor, btw!
I love cristine so much!.❤❤ but girl here's some advice all the way from the UK! But put on concealer/eyeshadow primer then, use a packing brush or some sort of flat brush to apply the eyeshadow and get pigmentation. THEN use a blending brush.
We all know she has a point.. and thats why half of the comments are about how you have dense and stiff packing brushes..BUT THOSE BRUSHES ARE WAY MORE EXPENSIVE HA!
Elf sells pretty good af brushes for a wayyy cheap price of 1-3 bucks. Wet n Wild brushes (the white ones with the pink tips) are sold for the same price, usually a dollar if you find it in the dollar store. As long as you use the right brush for whatever you're doing, you can pretty much get the same outcome from a dollar brush as with a 15 dollar brush tbh. Just takes skills and a good quality eyeshadow (and primer). Chalky shit will get you little to no pigmentation. You want that oh so buttery and smooth eyeshadow that makes you moan when you swatch it.
Desteney Van Hoorn i have dense packed brushes from wet n wild or bh cosmetics that apply eye shadow amazingly and each brush is 3 dlls or even 1 dll... but she was using only blending brushes instead of eye shadow brushes just saying
Makeup artist here 🙋🏼♀️ Cristine here me out for shimmers the ideal way is to put it on with your finger or a small dense flat brush and after you put the shimmer on it spray it with setting spray! Now with matte shadows, you pack it on slowly to get all the pigment and then blend the edges out with a blending brush. And also an eye primer or just concealer, makes colors pop better! But I also understand genuinely not everyone knows mostly because beauty gurus online aren’t always very helpful. I love you girl but those sponges make me so sad and cringe lol
She's beauty, shes grace, she has eyeshadow all over her face.

Different brushes have different densities of fibers which make them more specific for a use... like a non dense is better for blending where as a brush with a bunch of tightly packed fibers is better for color pay off

Ashley Jinx mac has silicone applicators that are easy to clean and sanitize. 😊
You can get a 4 pack of them for a dollar. I'm sure amazon has some with a greater quantity for cheaper, as well.
the only thing i don’t like about eyeshadow applicators is that they are SO FRICKING HARD TO HOLD
That’s why people make eyeshadow applicators on long sticks.
uni corn21 that and they’re usually much more tough and i get red skin easily 🙄

Primer isn't just about vibrancy, it's also about fade, crease and transfer resistance
In the 90s, people used concealer as a primer
Or, and bare with me, she used a blending brush this entire time. Which hey, what is that type of brush she is using???

You are using a blending brush to pack on the eyeshadow but you should use a flat, dense brush
It still won't provide as much pigment as a sponge applicator. Try it for yourself as an experiment.
^^ It still doesn't give the same pigmented effect.
The bristles will still catch the product and leave it in the brush, that's why kids makeup that comes with a sponge applicator actually has more pigment unless you buy more eyeshadow primer and eye cream shit which is literally the equivalent to using a sponge applicator
Ive never has a problem with brushes and pigment and I don't use any fancy shit maybe it's just shit brushes or shit pallets who knows

@@vxxmari because YOU know what brushes I have used????? I just love the "gurus" who recommend spending 30 minutes "blending"! IMO anyone who spend 30 minutes blending their eyeshadow might want to consider getting a REAL life! But, if you are happy with your fabulous brushes, you do YOU!
@@daddyshoneygirlusa7030 damn fucking chill lmao
it's so funny to hear Cristine say "it's not a problem" before the meme was born
Renata Diniz _I T S N O T A P R O B L E M A N Y M O R E_
Lol yesss
Renata Diniz she started the meme
She made da meme
ITS NOT A PROBLEM ANYMORE
Yeah, use a flat brush to pack on colours and a fluffy brush (the one you use in the video) to blend. BUT in the case you don't have a flat brush, sponge applicator does work really well too. And it's cheap. And it usually comes with the palette you bought. (Or just use your finger to pack on the colour.) So, Cristine isn't totally wrong either. Hahaha.
lol i kept thinking about that, a flat brush helps a lot with packing on the color similar to the sponge applicator
lol kept thinking that
B
nakaharaindria she said in the video
I think brushes are for blending
nakaharaindria you could also spray settingspray on the flat brush to make it shimmery or pigmented
Idk why these noobs are trying to lecture Cristine about the brush. She’s already an expert 🙄
True
Finally somebody who aknowledges the power of spongies😀
She also used the wrong brush, a blending brush.
Why do I feel that "eyeshadow face" could be a new trend?😂

'Morphe is shit'
Cristine thems be dangerous words
...I don't know much about make up
But I generally hear girls praise Morphe brushes...apparently they are among the best - I see those get pulled out regularly. But I'd never even heard of Morphe eye shadow or even make up in general until I watched this video. I don't ever see chicks pulling out Morphe make up - so maybe their equipment only is the best way to go - ? I dunno
I died with how many times she said it! 😆 But she's actually and TOTALLY RIGHT. THANK YOU, Cristine, for figuring this out for us! I've been annoyed as sh** with brushes not packing on the color.
I was about to attack. I don’t get it because my morphe pallet is pigmented with about 3 swipes of a brush
My friend just got the James Charles x Morphe pallet and it looks really good
@Zoe Foote ..on a curiosity note - are you saying that dudes who wear make up use Morphe make up more than chicks do - ?
Rewatching this in 2019 with my daughter (she is 10.... I am 30). I use both. A lot of eyeshadow pallets you can use with a damp brush to intensify the color if you dont have a sponge applicator handy as well. Love you Cristine!
Lol with the purple eyeshadow, it looks like you got punch 😂😂
Adding to this hack... I apply my eyeshadow with an applicator and blend it with my fingers, cuz I have no money for brushes and actually looks good and even better than what I've seen on girls with brushes. It's not about how many things you have but about what you can do with the things you already have...😎
EDIT: So it turns out I gave up on the trend... I bought a set of brushes... And, for my surprise, they are actually usefull. For blending I mean, but I still do the finger-aplicator combo but using the brushes... Sorry, I failed you 😐
Tuti Álvarez yes people would be so in awe and say how good my makeup looked and would asked what i used and itd legit be dlar tree and other no name 99cent store makeup lol and theyd think iwas lying thats why i always cri.ge over the doing my makeup with 1$ makeup videos and they cant even make it look good and hate on the products but when u dont have much its about what u do with it and u really can do good looks with near to nothing
Yeah legit, I applied with only my hands for years!!
I recently bought an expensive and very popular nude eye shadow palette that people say fits everyone, but I just couldn't make it work for me. It just looked like dirt on my skin even though the application and blending was on point.
I suddenly found out that golden and orangy colours actually looked much better on me, so I searched through my new and old makeup to try and find all the powder stuff I had in those warm colors, and what I found was a glittery coral blush from bobbi brown that someone gave me several years ago(and that I use as a blush all the time), and a dollar store metallic eyeshadow palette that I bought many years ago. I always thought this palette was really bad and poor quality, so I never used it,, but I found out that it had very good pigmentation and that blending some of the colors together made just lovely colors.
So now I use dollar store metallic eyeshadows on the lids and the inner eye, and bobbi brown blush in the crease, and it looks way better on me than any eyeshadow I have ever worn.
Hell yeah! But honestly, there are super affordable brushes now at the drugstore. The $3 ELF brushes are legit (not the $1 ones, they're crap), and you legit need like 1 or 2 of them tops... just to blend. Know what I'm sayin? Just putting that out there, as if you didn't already know.
And I didn't even see that "EDIT," as if you didn't put that in capps... SO, ignore me.
She low key added her name at the beginning so everyone knows it's not spelt with a H
true😂😂
Cristine: “create sponge applicators on a stick”
me: GET THE HOT GLUE AND THE PATENT
These are honestly the best to apply glitter, no glue on your brushes, the glitter gets all over, and you just throw it out after.
When trying to get intense pigmentation from a brush use a dense flat brush not a loose fluffy blending brush! You will get much better results that way!!
katy jay well i didnt knew that😹
still not as good as your fingertip or a sponge applicator :) :)
katy jay came here to say just that! The whole video I'm just cringing, like, cristine! No! That's the wrong brush!
katy jay yea rude bitch why don't you make a video of you know
vicente Rodriguez how is she being rude? She's right lol
I wasn't aware that those sponge applicators were like... "old school" or whatever you wanna call it. I've always used them cause they come with the makeup I buy x'D
AiraSora Same 🤣
Same. I have a bunch of singles that a brush works really well with. If not, I bust out the sponge applicator. No shame.
Same, like I never bought any brushes till my friend got me some for my birthday and I thought they were sh!t when I first tried them😂
If you use a flat brush instead of a blending brush you might find that the end result will be less blended.
Huge fan of your work
She dabbed before it was cool
sounds like what she would pick to put on her tombstone. She does her thing and doesn't care what any norm says. And therefore surpasses all the rest by finding new solutions.
cristine is gonna single handedly put morphe out of business with this exposé
Pizza Queen Morphe in general is a garbage ass company. Their products are shit and big beauty gurus are keeping them in business. Also I've been watching way too many beauty drama videos and should probably seek help.
Pizza Queen why?
Lauren and sigma😂
Sarbear Probably the KVD x MUR drama
Ximena Salgado I actually like Sigma. I originally purchased their brush cleaning products years ago, before the beauty industry decided to invest their marketing in influencers. I've since bought their brushes and I do like them. I've also tried Morphe brushes (not their makeup though). I will give them credit that they are affordable. My issue with Morphe is influencers pushing them like they're hot shit when their products are in no way innovative and are in fact very underwhelming. Sigma's products do speak for themselves, and from what I understand their brush cleaning products are what got people talking about them, not them paying people to push their product (even though they do that now). The stuff I bought from them in 2014 still going strong.
Everyone getting sassy in the comments about your brush choice. I giggled. You do you boo
Alana Amity sure it was funny but it was an unfair test either way
Helen L. any brush dosent do as good as a sponge. sorry.
Helen L. I'm eating some really good grapes but there is one that squishy, it really let be down a little as it was the last one
Alana Amity man that sucks I'm sorry
OMG how have I not noticed how BEAUTIFUL your eyes are until now?!?!!?
Forget your ability to apply makeup, your ability to draw straight lines is truly astounding!
Feeling old AF because getting one of those old eyeshadow brushes was the best part of getting a little plastic container of bright blue and pink eyeshadow that your grandma got you to make you feel more like a "big girl" but losing them after 10 minutes because those things are SO HARD TO KEEP TRACK OF!
Katie Manns yassss I'm actually 12 and I know what these things are I had a Barbie makeup set with bright green, blue, pink, and yellow eye shadows and it came in a compact with one of those sponge applicators and man was it pigmented though I didn't know at the time because I was like 7 so I didn't know anything AND CAN YOU GUESS WHERE THAT COMPACT WENT IN THE TRASH BECAUSE I LOST THE FRICKIN APPLICATOR
*SO P I G M E N T E D*
Sloth Slimes omg this
Me when I get a new eyeshadow pallet
I support this comment but refuse to like it because it's at 666
I mostly agree with this! Eyeshadow brushes can sometimes make my shadow look patchy, where the sponge applicators don’t. I also don’t understand the need for multiple eyeshadow brushes. I literally only use one or two and my makeup looks great!
THANK YOU! I have always preferred sponge applicators because I have NEVER been able to get eye shadow brushes to work. I always wondered what I was doing wrong because they NEVER pick up enough product. BTW, I used to love the black velveteen sponges that came with CHANEL eye shadows. They were the BEST!
Omg thank you so much Cristine! You have solved most of my makeup problems! This def works for darker girls such its so hard to get the colour to show as is. i thought it was my brush or maybe my kinda cheap eyeshadow kits but hey how am i suppose to get all the colours i need. Love ya girl!
Christine is the most professional, unprofessional beauty guru on UA-cam. #CristineTheBeautyQueen 😀
1:20 wtf that is the quizlet live theme song!!
has no one noticed SIMPLY EAUTYFULL EYES?!
R.I.P sponge applicater. The holo sexuals did not forget about you
I have a dare! Can you do "FULL FACE OF MAKEUP USING ONLY THOSE SPONGE EYESHADOW SHIT"
Us The Cousins yeeeesssssss
Us The Cousins yesss
Us The Cousins GET THIS OVER 8.4K LIKES SO SHE SEES THIS
I use makeup sponges everyday for my makeup. They are great
Us The Cousins its not shit
It makes me laugh a little because from what I can tell she is using a blending brush to apply color to the lid!
It makes me laugh even more that I am a couple years too late!
💛
SimplyFaceLogical... the only beauty guru that I'd ever watch.
I know people are all like, "Cristine, you're not supposed to use a fluffy blending brush, blah blah blah" Hell, this opened my eyes regardless, eyeshadow applicators are much cheaper than packing brushes or whatever. Makeup brushes aren't cheap, I mean there are ones that are super cheapy, but you get what I mean. I am totally going to try this just because it definitely looked more pigmented here. Plus it's really a cheaper alternative. We're all still discovering new things in makeup, of course Cristine is not gonna know what a packing brush is. Remember she's still learning. Personally, she does better makeup than me.
I fear that if you use the applicators you end up just throwing them away after and thats really unecological
Neither of them are cheap. They literally cost the same in my country.. Also there are denser brushes that give the same effect as well as sponge brushes with longer handles. Issue is that sponges are harder to clean. Which is why your beauty blender might be moldy inside and give you pimples and shit
True
u can buy a $1-3 eyeshadow packig brush from Elf or W&W that is cruelty free, is a great quality & will last for years! U only get so many uses w those sponges...
go to dolar tree
omg, I thought it was just me. I can't use brushes for shit
Mel 880 you are not alone
Mel 880 your not alone.
True
Mel 880 same
If you dampen the eyeshadow brush, it helps with the pigment
Cristine, I love you, but your using a blending brush.
Heidi Hagemeyer packing brushes are dense and used for higher color payoff and blending brushes are fluffier and used to blend out the edges of eyeshadow to give a better transition between the eyeshadow and skin so of course the sponge did better than a brush not meant to pack on color
*You're
She is, but she's also right. I verified it myself. Every time a beauty guru decides that a shadow is better applied with their finger they should just use a sponge applicator instead.
Sen Tariana actually the reason some shimmers look better when applied with your finger is because of the oil in your hands. Different formulas react better with different tools :)
How are we, the normal people, supposed to know the difference
That sponge has touched my heart so strongly . I had no idea
4:54m "Morphe is kind of shit" OMG!! Finally someone also thinks that, hate how beauty youtubers sells morphe like good quality! Luv you Chistine!!
Paula Rillo I agree too, I've used my 35k palette probably twice, it has like no pigment. Kat Von D's Shade & Light contour and eye is incredible, I'm on my second palette now. The pigment and colours are amazing and I honestly don't think her brand gets enough recognition.
It's because they re paid to promote it.
Paula Rillo I like their newer palettes. Apparently the quality has changed a lot recently. But yeah they're really nothing special. But you can find endless tutorials which is fun XD hahaha
Yes!! I found Morphe to be quite average and nothing special. I've stopped watching certain UA-camrs because of how much they over-promote it.
Yes, Stephanie Nicole is the one of the only who gave a honest opinion, I trust her so much!
You should use a packing brush in stead of a blending brush because it's more dense where as a blending brush (the brushes you were using) tend to be fore fluffy so they don't pick up as much product as a dense packing brush xxx love you still xxx
La La Lily i’m so glad i’m not the only one who wanted to say something
Yeah,but packing brush cost like 6-10$ and these sponge aplicators are 10 for 1$
Amazon has 20 piece brush sets for around five bucks and a good chunk of them are packer brushes
One brush is good for hundreds to thousands of uses. If you're looking at price per use, brushes win every time.
their cheap because they don't last unlike a brush
no wonder the Morphe eyshadow came out looking chalky, they use talc
Most companies do.
FINALLY SOMEONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS!!
If Christine brings back the sponge applicators I think im gonna die.
She will not since she's using a blending brush to apply the eyeshadow T_T
Queeny I think I'm the one that's gonna die if people don't learn how to spell her name 😑
Queeny Me too
Queeny I use them all the time, even before this video lol
Queeny it's CRISTINE
Who needs notifications when you're always on UA-cam?
Izzyzizzy9 😂😂 same
You’re amazing and one thing I LOVE is you speak very similar to pewdiepie. No one gets our dramatic awkward goofiness ( myself included). You’re my now favorite beauty guru💕
I mean, the end result of the full face of eyeshadow was actually pretty cute -- it definitely made your eyes pop in an interesting way.
well she’s not wrong

one last comment. this is a theater life hack that i’ve used multiple times.
Q-Tips work as well as brushes for eyeshadow.
BOOOOOOOOMMM.
Mind blown.
Cristine’s eyes are so pretty!!!!!!! Like and green hazel color!!! GORGIOUS QUEEN
I thought she was actually gonna do real makeup, but I forgot this is Christine
She is literally Satan
Linx _234 It's *"Cristine"*
Christine is one unique devil that needs to master the arts of the beauty without using the product takeover brush she wants to avoid the MAKEUP DEVIL 😂😭😂
Summer Markel cristine xxx
A video of you painting eyeshadow on your face is exactly what yt needed. A++
Can we talk about what a beautiful color her eyes are
I know, 2 yrs late, but I use both. I don't care what beauty blogger, blogger says. Some eyeshadows work better with the brush, others with the applicator. This is probably the best beauty video ever!
Cristine, I completely agree with you...
But that doesn't get rid of the fact THAT YOU APPLIED EYESHADOW WITH A BLENDING BRUSH... DESIGNED TO BLEND.
That's what I was going to say
She's trying to pack the eyeshadow with a blending brush thats why 😓😓😓
And an eye primer would have made it a lot better xD
LoL. I'm not that knowledgeable on makeup brushes, but I had a feeling that looked like a blending brush. xDD
I was waiting for her to realize this
I'm probably echoing a few people here- I don't enjoy wearing makeup at all, and very occasionally do my nails, but I love watching your videos as they're so entertaining! :)
I still love sponge applicators waaay more than brushes! Thanks for validating these feelings, Simply Not Logical! 😃💜 Love your videos and your humor, btw!
I love cristine so much!.❤❤ but girl here's some advice all the way from the UK! But put on concealer/eyeshadow primer then, use a packing brush or some sort of flat brush to apply the eyeshadow and get pigmentation. THEN use a blending brush.
7:14 "what do you think"
Athena S s
Athena S she didn’t say what do you think
Athena S she needs HELP
Athena S Iliaina if you have been subbed for a while then you know that she says what do you think a lot so Athena was making a joke about it
Athena S you ruined the whole thing for me I accidentally clicked the link and I didn't mean to
We all know she has a point.. and thats why half of the comments are about how you have dense and stiff packing brushes..BUT THOSE BRUSHES ARE WAY MORE EXPENSIVE HA!
Elf makes packing brushes I like for $1-$3, and if you want to save money just use your fingers to pack on pigment.
Elf sells pretty good af brushes for a wayyy cheap price of 1-3 bucks. Wet n Wild brushes (the white ones with the pink tips) are sold for the same price, usually a dollar if you find it in the dollar store. As long as you use the right brush for whatever you're doing, you can pretty much get the same outcome from a dollar brush as with a 15 dollar brush tbh. Just takes skills and a good quality eyeshadow (and primer). Chalky shit will get you little to no pigmentation. You want that oh so buttery and smooth eyeshadow that makes you moan when you swatch it.
hy there :-) I got my favourite brush from essence for 3€ (I guess) super nice and gets the job done
Desteney Van Hoorn i have dense packed brushes from wet n wild or bh cosmetics that apply eye shadow amazingly and each brush is 3 dlls or even 1 dll... but she was using only blending brushes instead of eye shadow brushes just saying
Wet n wild blending brushes are the bomb yo. they're like $1
Makeup artist here 🙋🏼♀️ Cristine here me out for shimmers the ideal way is to put it on with your finger or a small dense flat brush and after you put the shimmer on it spray it with setting spray! Now with matte shadows, you pack it on slowly to get all the pigment and then blend the edges out with a blending brush. And also an eye primer or just concealer, makes colors pop better! But I also understand genuinely not everyone knows mostly because beauty gurus online aren’t always very helpful. I love you girl but those sponges make me so sad and cringe lol
