Hi Melissa, l also got 6 different Elf lipsticks 💄 too, because every time I went to get them in store or online they were always sold out, l am loving them, hugssss ❤❤❤
Physicians Formula has a set of white & brown pigments. Brown darkens foundation. Also on your Deron link there is a caramel shade which says it darkens foundation.
that Physicians Formula pigment set is the best-completely neutral without leaning cool or warm on both the white and the brown. Most other pigments for adjusting lean way too warm
I know that adjusting your foundation is a great concept! However, as a celebrity makeup artist for 35 years (now retiredfor the time being due to cancer disability) I think there are better ways to self- adjust your face makeup, several are tried and true, MUCH EASIER FOR MOST WOMEN to achieve with far less expense and technique! Are there people who can use Deron and Physician's Formula? ABSOLUTELY! Most of the problems come from buying foundation, concealer, powder, etc. online and trying unfamiliar, influencers' suggested new products without knowledge of that new products' color range. First off, the use of contour and bronzer STILL difficult for the majority of women. Many use bronzer for their contour, erroneously. Others will get the contour idea correctly, the mistakes begin with 'bronzing'. Cosmetic ramds that cater to pro clientele offer contours which are much closer to creating the sculpted look we want to achieve. Bronzer is not an exact science, as we all have distinctively different ideas about how tan the bronzing shoud go. Even placement is changing with new products emerging promising even more. It is perhaps more youthful to warm and highlight a mature woman's face than tocor correct a foundation tone / color which is slightly off from perfect. Age spots look less noticeable with neutral or cool foundations. Pale skin looks better with two blushers rather than contour and bronzing. Maybe a 'wash' of color all over instead of a strategic floor plan of one's face is more believable for most women. Melissa always shows the new, innovative products that we may find useful, flattering, and different. It just amazes me when companies try to eek out a dollar more from us even if it may jeopardize the 'whole enchilada' by creating controversy or lack of confidence.😮
Fuchsia suits you well, Melissa! I love that MAC Fix+ setting spray also, and I bought it on your recommendation! I had an absolutely horrible 2023 in everything except makeup, but I finally found a lot of my best-ever products this year. Sometimes, when everything else is going to sh*t, being able to put on a good face helps so much. May you (and everyone!, me, too) have a much better 2024, and love to all!❤
Hi Melissa, l ran out of my foundation, so I wanted to get a different one this time, l have the haus labs concealer, so l got a foundation from haus labs too, and l got a bunch of products from Makeup by Mario for Christmas, so l decided to get their foundation and concealer, l am loving these, hugssss ❤❤❤
Melissa I want to Thank you for everything you have done for us in this year. I love everything, now I need to go back and watch and get some of these items. You look beautiful! Wishing you a Healthy Happy New Year 🙏♥️
Ohhhh those are good picks Melissa!!!! I really like the pinks a lot. So flattering. Take care of yourself. And I hope the New Year is full of joy. ♥️♥️♥️
MMM MMM GOOD! Melissa, you have exceeded my expectations. Keep setting the bar higher and higher! The one product I've fallen in love with this year is the LYS Cream blush in the color Self Love. A mauvy pink with a true blue undertone, for the days when my rosacea is just screaming and can't be covered. It you can't beat it...well, you know. Love the video, and it's good to see you with good energy! Thank you for another year of fun!
I always take your foundation recommendations to heart, so thank you so much. This year I discovered that terrific Moira pink "I Miss You" blush and the other great stick blush I discovered was the persona stick blush in the color Bubble. Super Barbie bubble gum pink, but looks fantastic on. Happy New Year Melissa! You look terrific!
Sweet Melissa, I wanted to thank you for all your hard work with your videos even with all your health problems in 2023! I hope 2024 will be a healthier one for you and your family. You always bring your beautiful smile to your videos even when your not feeling well. Thank you! I hope you had a nice relaxing Christmas with your family and friends! Happy New Year! I can’t wait to see what the New Year brings us! Love you ❤
I purchased the Nars crystal powder a few years ago and haven't used it in a very long time, but this makes me want to use it tomorrow. I couldn't get it to work for me, but I'll try again. Face Atelier has a mixer to darken foundation, but you can use any foundation you like in a deep shade. We have to buy mixers in white and blue to lighten and neutralize, but any favorite foundation in a deep shade works perfectly as a mixer to darken.
Hey Melissa! This is a fantastic video. I missed the first two parts of this series but I’ll go back and watch them. I want to get everything you mentioned! I put myself on a low-buy for six months starting in January so it’s down to the basics I need. I hope you had a fantastic Christmas and didn’t wear yourself out. Thanks again! Luv u!❤
Hi Melissa, hope you are doing well and enjoying the holiday season. I love Moira products especially the eyeshadows and the blushes are great. Thank you for a wonderful video with wonderful products. I love your recommendations and usually get something I really like every time. Take care of yourself and be well my friend. We love you too.🥰❤💖💗💕💜💜💜💐
That shirt is so flattering on you! I was so busy over the holidays that I missed the first two videos, so I have to go back! Love a good wrap-up of the year! Hope your Christmas was full of love and fun! I'm still not finished because I'm going to see 3 of my grandchildren that live out of state on NYE! 🎉❤ luv ya! Hope you're feeling better! xox ~lori
I tried the Nars powder several years back and I couldn’t get it to work at all. I know you mentioned it was like it’s barely there, but in my case it was like it didn’t do anything at all for me so I returned it. Has it been re-released with change to theformula or something just wondering if you know as you mentioned it was new I thought
Hi Melissa, what a great video! Feel like buying practically everything you have shown us! 😅🎉 I love the blushers, I think I’ll go through these first and see which ones I am going to try out. You’ve put a lot of work into this, as always, so thank you again! Hope you’re keeping well. 🙏🏻😊 xxx
Oh, I still have a brand new bottle of Haus Labs Foundation and I should have opened it to make sure it was the correct color. Oh well, nothing I can't fix with bronzer! I normally error on the side of too light.
A new product that seems to have a good foundation is the 2023-24 " "CoverGirl simply ageless essence".😮🤔🤗. Would the "Elf primer" work over acne scars or large pores⁉️Ty. Melissa.
Good picks! I’ve used the Nars pressed powder for 10 ?? years. Same one you have- it’s been around awhile but you never hear influencers talk about it except now you 👏👏👏 If I ever happen to use another powder (rarely) I look like a crinkled old lady- I mean I am 74!! But I wear Nars to set cream foundation (Cinema Secrets) and it is invisible.
So I have a crazy find (the foundation lady on yt actually talked about it) and it is the CoverGirl Aqua Smooth foundation! It came out a billion years go but I just tried it and absolutely love it, try it, it offers buildable coverage and is perfect for mature skin!
How do you always get your skin to look so dewy ! I have tried a lot of things to get my skin to look like yours an I can’t ? My skin is so dry plus menopause when I do my serums a moisturizers an my make my skin just suck the moisture a make up right off my skin ? Do you think a good primer would help a which one would be good ! Help
Take a peek at this video. It's how my skin is so hydrated & dewy. Pick just a few that are right for your needs. ua-cam.com/video/H-QysguGyBw/v-deo.htmlsi=0-UYJokajId915TS
Ok... so i love the soft pink color of your cheeks and i want to use pink. But i am terrified about which color. I have your skin tone. Can you do a soup to nuts tuturial with your make up and brands that you are wearing today?
Girl you cost me a lot of money 😂😊! Ok if u had to choose for your 74 year old friend which cream/liquid blush would you suggest? (I really don’t think I look 74 from far far away) Second - I love the Patrick Ta two pan blushes (one cream one powder-especially the cream -it can go right over makeup). Would I like the One Size as much? It’s replacement time. Thank you for mentioning cooler tone blushes!! Well, thank you for all your suggestions!❤❤
It's in the description box below the video. Under the title, click on where it says "more..." & then click on "more..." again & scroll down until you see the numbers.
I’m 51 and I use Hais Labs. Love it. Yes it’s $61 but one pump covers my face.
Great content! That hot pink color is gorgeous with your skintone & haircolor 💟
Thank you so much!!
Hi Melissa, I'm going to try the Haus Labs Foundation. I use Clinique Even Better, but I'm going to give this one a try.
Hope you like it!
Love your channel and content from Boca Raton Florida, I've been watching for about 2 years. Hope you are feeling better soon.❤😊
Hi Melissa, l also got 6 different Elf lipsticks 💄 too, because every time I went to get them in store or online they were always sold out, l am loving them, hugssss ❤❤❤
I hope you feel better soon. I have been following you and your weight loss journey. And yes menopause is no joke.🙏
Fantastic video my friend! 😊
I will be adding concealers to my list on Amazon. TY
Happy New Year 🎉
Love all the makeup ,so Pretty🥰👍🏻

Physicians Formula hasn’t had those for literal years lol it’s not even on their website anymore. So you really shouldn’t be using them on your face😳
❤Great video,wide range to choose from. A Lot of research Melissa,Ty🥰👍
Happy New Year 2024🎉🎇🎆💃

We have to buy mixers in white and blue to lighten and neutralize, but any favorite foundation in a deep shade works perfectly as a mixer to darken.
The Nars is very light. It acts like it's barely putting anything down. It's definitely different
Pacifica dream light concealer and their kind glaze are my breakthrpughs for the year
Nice. I'm going to look them up. Thank you!
Love your hair and sweater! Happy New Year! Thanks Melissa Jennifer 😊

Melissa what size is your purple sweater? Did you get a medium or a large? Also, that color looks amazing on you 😍 happy New Year ❤️🎊

@MrsMelissaM Awww, I have 9 and 5 of them live close by, so I am lucky! Happy New Year! xo
Uff, I was waiting for this video.
Yay!
Wonder if I could use those highlighters over my Bare Minerals powder foundation because I don’t get the glow that some get and it looks flat.
The Flower one isn't too expensive. It might be worth a try.
You look so beautiful! I hope you have the best New Year ever!
Thank you! You too!

I thought it was new but I might have been wrong. It's definitely a barely there situation.
I took back my Haus labs after trying the believe Beaty foundation
Totally agree!
Thank you for all your hard work! You're amazing!
Wow, thank YOU! My pleasure!
