For those of you majorly criticizing Nikkia for her highlighter and saying her placement is wrong, how it doesn't make sense to use matte foundation then apply highlight, and how it isn't doing her any favors..stop. It's not about you! Us oily girls can't wear luminous foundation so we wear a matte one and then use highlighter to get the glowy look and enhance our favorite features. If you don't like it, don't do it! We know it enhances texture, we know it doesn't look natural, we know that it doesn't make sense to everyone, but it doesn't need to as long as we enjoy it.
Belby Blasphemy haha you want the real point is it's her face and if she wanted to paint it green and put highlighter on it it shouldn't really f****** matter cuz it's her face and she can do what she wants with it just like my face if I want to put a thousand piercings in it I will
I agree! You still want a glow and you can’t get that with a matte foundation. I bought this and am hoping it works for my dry skin with really preparing my skin & hydrating the shit cuz even though I have dry skin, I still love a Matte finish. ☺️
cheer up you lovely oily ladies :) I am 52 years old & still have a very oily t-zone but the bonus is I honestly have no wrinkles what so ever I just have some fine lines under my eyes so all's good AND shock horror ! I don't moisturise !! because it just makes me oilier & break out in Pimple's & I figure my natural oils do the job just fine. So rejoice you oily 20 something's & just know that in 30 years time you'll look like you're still in your 30s ;)....love your vids Nikkia you make me smile x
if you don't moisturise your skin might produce more oil to make up for the lack of moisture. Nikkia stressed the fact that moisture is important no matter your skin type and a good moisturiser can help your skin produce less oil. But do whatever works for you! So jealous you have no wrinkles, I have a few fine lines already and I'm 26 lol.
I'm super oily also, I never bought into the hype of moisturizing because, I thought the same way. After a skin care analysis they talked me into a moisturizing routine. I've noticed that after doing it I'm not as oily as I used to be. So, I now believe them when they say, your skin produces oils because it needs moisturization. I'm 52.
SuperPresleyfan I'm a little late watching this video. I love her videos though! Dunno how I missed this one but just found it. Anyway I was reading some of the comments, as I always do and seen your comment. I was actually JUST saying this the other day! I have super super oily skin, always have. And I'm in my early 40s, creeping up on mid 40s quick. And I don't mean to brag, honestly I'm not bragging (Let me knock on some wood!) But I don't have wrinkles! I have some fine lines around my eyes, but honestly without powder I don't even have those but I crease without powder. Anyway I have women my age that ask me "why do you not have wrinkles!?" Or "how the hell do you not have wrinkles" I always say I dunno. I do use moisturizers, btw clinique dramatically different for oily/combo skin is AWESOME! I can't use ANY other kind cuz even if it says oil free it makes me so oily. The clinique really is good! If you haven't tried it, TRY IT. I use to not use any at all either until I tried that, years ago and I swear by IT! But I've went on long enough sorry. Just wanted to tell you, your right. For these girls complaining about oily skin it's a blessing in the long run! And I know it's bad, but I am a smoker too, which causes wrinkles (and other bad stuff I know, I know) but I really think being oily, so oily has prevented wrinkles.
SuperPresleyfan also one more thing, the other people that commented saying no moisturizer can make you produce more oil, it's true. It really is. I use to think the same way, and wouldn't use moisturizer. But once I found the clinique dramatically different lotion my skin was actually not as oily. And using a moisturizer at night help a ton too! I am still oily, but not anything near as bad as I was before I started using a moisturizer.... But you do what works for you, what makes you happy! I'm not at all faulting you!!! Don't take me wrong. Just letting you know what worked for me. And maybe if you wanted to try it. It's of course up to you though.
I purchased this foundation last week after watching Nikkia’s dupe video recommending it. I haven’t been able to stop wearing it since! I’m absolutely blown away and so grateful to have caught her review and recommendation! I’m so glad I didn’t watch other UA-cam reviews who gave it negative reviews because I honestly wouldn’t have purchased it. This foundation looks better on me than every other foundation I own and I have tried tons of high end as well as drugstore. Also interesting is the fact that I am 54 years old and have dry skin! This foundation does not look caked, cling to dry patches, exaggerated or settle into wrinkles or fine lines and the finish is smooth and satin like- that doesn’t even do it justice. Also, it does not budge or break up even after long hours of wear. I had a slight wearing off around the corners of my mouth and my nose, but I tend to touch or rub my nose often lol.. I can’t get over how beautiful this foundation is. Also, it doesn’t feel heavy on the skin -I don’t know what the formula secret is, but this foundation outperforms every other foundation I’ve tried. Can’t recommend it enough.
You are literally the ONLY person I trust when it comes to foundation lol. My skin is so oily that you could probably fry something on it in the summer when it's hot!!! I will definitely be picking up this foundation with the holidays coming up. Just wondering if you have any recommendations for a good drugstore primer? I've used the Rimmel Stay Matte for about a year now and I think my skin is adapting to it!!!
I really love this foundation. It looks flawless and has soooo good coverage. My All Nighter or especially Lock It looks straight up caked, but this one looks flawless and doesn’t emphasise my pores! So loving it ❤️
Seo Yeon Beauty I was considering trying this foundation out but your comment just convinced me! I always hear good things about the All Nighter foundation but it emphasizes my skin texture or looks cakey even though I exfoliate and moisturize. I’ve noticed it’s that foundation in particular. Can’t wait to try this one out!
I agree I have both Kat and All Nighter and they have always just been a bit too much. This is impressive full coverage (decent shade range) and what a great price. I would recommend over both for a good full coverage and several others out there as well.
Does it dry? I have the wet and wild photofocus one but it ends up looking cakey and it never completely dries (feels weird /doesn't adhiere to the skin )
Saw an ad on tv for this foundation and I was like man I really hope Nikkia does a review on this. I check your snap and lo and behold you’re uploading the review. Thanks for always pulling through. You’re doing such an amazing job. I’ve only met you once at a masterclass but your personality is honestly so beautiful and you’ve got this light about you, I miss that day. I appreciate you so much ❤️❤️
Nikkia, you are my savior! There is no one on youtube who does reviews so thoroughly and if they do they have DRY SKIN. Can't wait to try this foundation, thank you so much from all of us oily girls!❤️☺️
Love my girl Nikkia she's like one of the few who actually know how to do a review for people who like to get to the point for makeup. Love the 3 days of trying it out with different primers and powders since we all use different types 😗
I've been wanting to get the Huda foundation to test out a full coverage but girl you saved me cash by doing this review. Always a joy Nikkia, luv ya!!! 💓💓💓
ShaRae Burr Jouer will be your best option. I have it and the Huda foundation. The Jouer is mind-blowing! Literally super full coverage on half a pump! It takes 3-4 pumps of Huda to get that coverage and it only looks good from away. Up close its awful. I've never loved a foundation like i do Jouer.
CJ Downs Word on the Beat I'd love that, I haven't been able to do much at all lately, my sister passed away and yeah I've been home grieving. Coming on here and watching tutorials honestly helps me so much to cope. But yeah if you can mail me that'd be awesome.
I love that you do a wear test with the said product’s primer/powder; your favourite primer/powder and a primer/powder you’re not fond of. GREAT video!!!!!
I love being able to see how foundations do with very oily skin and larger pores like mine. You're the best! I wouldn't have thought to try this one but now I probably will! You rock, Nikkia
Soul Guardian I think it might only be the Fit Me Foundation that doesn’t have pumps here in the states. I know it’s such a small thing to complain about but it helps save product and over pouring. 😊
It's great to find good cheap foundations for oily skin. I discovered a new one too, natural collection, but I don't know if it's sold outside uk. It will cost a lot less than even maybelline! Thanks Nikkia!
I love the fact you test it out over a couple of days in combination with other products! So many people don’t realize how much of a difference it makes when you don’t use a product with the right things! ♥️
You’re the only one i watch when it comes to make up and it’s lasting effects. You dig so down to how it works and what’s its cons. I’m definitely gonna buy the Foundation, since it’s matte + poreless Foundation is my fav. Thank you so much Nikkia 🤗
Honestly I love it when you use the blotting paper and show us how much oil you actually produce! I have very very similar skin to yours and it always annoys the crap out of me when my friend says she is soooo oily but she blots and there are 2 tiny ass spots on her paper???? GIRL PLZZZZ I WOULD KILL FOR YOUR "OILY" SKIN.
maario210 Yes Honey, but you will probably have better with that Oily Skin. If I how old you are, but in my late teens/early 20s, I was so oily that I couldn't keep foundation on my face. I'm going to be 30 this year, and while still a little oily, I'm drying up lol. I actually want some of that back, because I'm seeing fine lines and the like lol. Be grateful for what you DO have. I know easier said than done lol.
I am so impressed by this fondation, I swatched it on my hand in the drugstore and since than I washed my hands like hundred times, with soup and this stuff is still there, omg I think it's amazing
I️ love love love this 3 day check in style of foundation trial video! You do such a great job describing your experience. I always trust your foundation recommendations 100%
Sick of seeing negative comments!! Nikkita is BEAUTIFUL how she is!! If she wants to wear Highlight let her! Who cares! Don’t listen to any of those people you’re gorgeous how you are boo! You’re the sweetest most kindest person ever Idk how anyone could ever say anything negative about you!! Love ya girl thnx for always giving us thorough reviews!! 💜
WOW...that seems to be a WONDERFUL foundation! I think after 10-12 hours, it looks just exactly as it did when you 1st applied it, after blotting of course, but OMG girl! Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
Love love love your three day wear videos!! They do such a good job of actually showing the potential of the foundation and how it last on our oily-girl’s skin 🙌🏻💛
Milk foundation should be next. I trust all of ur opinions. We have VERY similar skin. The products that u recommend have not failed me yet darling. Keep up the great work. 😍💕😘
I don't think I've ever actually seen you do a foundation review before, because I'm a relatively new subscriber. I really enjoyed how you spread it out over 3 days and tried different techniques for it's application though, because everybody does it differently. For your oily skin, have you ever tried introducing a facial oil into your night time skincare routine? Sometimes people produce excess oil due to dehydration, so using a facial oil at night gives your skin the hydration it needs which then stops it from over producing during the day. It's probably something that you've already been told about and tried, but I thought I may as well mention it just in case. I hope you're having a brilliant day! 😘
+_makeupandcoffee_ hi lovely! Welcome to the family!❤️and yes I talk about using oils at night all the time! It works incredibly well to correct the skins hydration! 99% of the time the skin is oily because it’s dry. Much love xx
Hi Nikkia, thanks for this review! I may give this a whirl sometime. I wanted to thank you so much for your initial review of the Maybelline Fit Me Powder. I've been using pressed for years and the loose I have tried hasn't worked for me. The Maybelline has completely shocked me both in appearance and with the longevity of my makeup. Been using it for a couple of weeks now and I love it. It's all because of you! You rock, girl.
could you do a video on what it’s like being a makeup artist?? you could go over things like a beginner makeup kit, how to keep everything sanitary, how to cater to clients needs, etc. thanks! 💗💫
you just do the best foundation test! thank you for going to such an indepth look and putting it through so many levels. It really is appreciated. I have dry/normal skin but it is good to see how people react to it and because everyone at my work know that i am a makeup addict, they come and ask my opinion and it helps me to know how it works on other skin types. Thank you very much! love you and hope your voice is better soon!
tried this for the first time today because of your recommendation and I AM IN LOVE. I was not even a tiny bit shiny at the end of the day and that never happens on my skin. I think I even like it better then the Estee Lauder double wear.
Thank you for trying it so many ways through three days instead of doing a first impressions saying you'll update us and then never saying another word about it. You're one of the best.
You are by far my all time favorite youtuber. I've always tried your recommendations being an oily skin gal myself. I've bought the hourglass primer even though its kinda pricey $64CAD 😧 But I love it!!! The este lauder foundation, Girl (nikkia voice) I love it!!! You're just my favorite & I love your content. Also wanna say congrats on the engagement 😍 Take care Nikkia. P.S I'm anxiously waiting for the eyelashes to launch 😀
I'm so grateful that the drugstore is coming through with all this amazing affordable makeup. Because I sure do live on a budget. But I still want to wear incredible makeup and the drugstore is wear is at . thank you for this review your amazing on how thorough you are with these type of reviews! Greatly appreciated!
Thank god for your reviews! Some people say that it's annoying when all the beauty gurus review the same stuff but I think it's important because not everyone has the same skin type and skin tone and watching someone like you helps me decide if a foundation is suitable for my skin type.
I love that you did a 3-day wear test with different products!!! This was the best review on a foundation I’ve seen in a while 😄 and congratulations again on your engagement!! 💍
Nikkiaaa !! I was really looking forward to a review on this foundation because surprisingly it's already in our drugstores in Romania ( shocking !!! I feel like we're always the last ones when it comes to beauty products - imagine that they've brought in stores, the maybelline age rewind concealer this year 😥😣) anywaaaay ... My skin is really similar to yours and same as you , my ride or die foundation is the estee lauder double wear so your first impressions for oily skin foundation are very very useful !!! As always, hugs and kisses from Romania. Love you and your work !! And congrats on your engagement !!!
I've battled oily skin for over 30 years! Moisturizing made a difference like you wouldn't believe! I'm excited to try this foundation and the Fit Me powder! Screenshot in hand I'm going to Wal-Mart!
Would it be possible for you to start listing your makeup worn in the notes section? I am always so curious what you are wearing on your eyes but never know. :) That would be so helpful!
I seriously love you girl!! I have very oily skin as well and your videos have been a god send! One thing that I’m very impressed with is how you choose the right color foundation every time. I never seem to get it right when I try with drugstore foundations. I use mat velvet plus in shade 35 but I can never seem to find another shade close to it.
I really believe that all the info that is given is very helpful for all of us oily skin type girls makeup as we now does not have a set of rules so what i like is not necessary something that you should like so respect every one and every style . Love you’re videos and always be you’re self that’s what I really like from this videos like ya !!
I️ really like how you tested the foundation multiple times in one video. The same foundation can wear completely different on me from day to day. Great review. Sending love all the way from Compton, California! 😍
I love how you use the blotting sheets at the end of the day to show us how oily you really are! That us definitely my skin too at the end of the day xD
Just discovered your channel yesterday and have been loving every video, especially because I also get super oily throughout the day .. btw , your skin always looks flawless with every foundation !!
I know youve probably said it so many times before but giirrlll what lipstick are you wearing!! Its the perfect shade and always looks flawless!! I need to get this!
Danise Bautista i have that foundation alingbwith esteee lauder maximum cover double wear but after two hours the clinique already separates :( i like the old foundation that they used to have better
You have that special sparkle in your eye..nice to see you so happy nikkia...when do you think the maybelline fit me powder be coming out to australia?? I now live in tassie and the shipping costs and shipping time is like forever here😔
I can't wait to buy this foundation !! My usual combo is priming with the mufe smoothing primer , patting it on not rubbing , waiting 5 minutes then applying a mattifying primer , wait 5 minutes again then apply foundation . My go to concealer and powder is the LA girl pro concealer and NYX HD translucent pressed powder !!
I’m about to try this foundation myself. I must have close to 20 different foundations by now. Most of them Nikkia recommended 🤗. I love testing what you like. It really has improved my makeup game!!
I was going to say I thought this might be more full coverage than the Fenty. For super full coverage, I love the Kat Von D Lock-It. I can't wait to try the Superstay 24 though :)
I haven't found anything that covers like Fenty its my favorite. I just don't use drug store foundation sorry girls. The Maybellen looks amazing on Nikkia but then everything looks good on her.
+Mariah Cherish I believe you are right - this one is totally full coverage - I used to use the Kat Von Dee Lock It Powder foundation. I have never used the liquid. I started to order the BECCA but the Sephora rep recommended the Fenty and Nikkia really liked it too. It will be awhile before it comes, they are experiencing high volumes since the sale. I'm excited I ordered a Huda palette and I am an eyeshadow nut. I have way too much already. I want the new NARS that just came out that only Rouge can order. It never ends.....
I’m not shocked that your skin looks just as good if not better without a primer... honestly I think they are a gimmick and just a way to get more money out of us bc I have so many primers and very expensive ones at that- everytime I forget to put a primer on my skin looks so much better and I’m always like what the heck! It’s a conspiracy I tell ya! Definitely need a powder though!
Alexandra Jimenez I feel this exact way over setting sprays too. I have extremely oily skin & all nighter & Gerard cosmetics setting sprays make me look cakey and way worse after a few hours than I do without them! I've tried so many, and no. Just no.
Sarah Infinger I tried that one after All Nighter. It didn't do me any favors at all. I've tried at least 10-15 different ones & they all do the same thing to me
Drug store stepping up their game 😍😍 Lol at the start of the video I was waiting for “this isn’t available in Australia yet” Just so used to hearing that 😂😂
I live for your foundation reviews, you haven't ever led me astray! I love your lighting too :) I'm still learning how to make my videos better quality and I hope they look like yours someday!!
So thankful you do these kinds of reviews!! I have super oily skin, like my blotting sheets look the same lol. Your tips and recommendations are so helpful! Also, can you do a tutorial on the eye look from your review on the second day?!? It’s beautiful!!
Wow Maybelline is killing it lately!! I need to try this foundation for sure. Love that you do 3 different days with different products. 🙌🏼 Always enjoy your content!😘💕
My guess is that Estée Lauder foundation still wears longer cause it works like a matte hardcore paint on the face. This Maybelline one looks more natural though, which makes me think it would last a little bit less than Estée Lauder. It’s probably good to have both and wear them depending on the occasion.
purple Mia - it might not look so cakey on you if you wear moisturizing primer under and/or mix it with some oil. Right now with the winter weather it would look cakey on me too, but I’m moisturizing and priming my skin really well before applying Double Wear, and it looks awesome. But if I don’t take those extra steps I’m pretty screwed, hehe. I think Double Wear is ideal for hot weather and oily/combination skin, but with a couple extra steps, it can work well for dry skin too.
I actually like watching you blot because the saaaaaaaame shit happens to me and it makes me feel better that someone else especially a UA-cam I LOVE has the same situation. I love your honesty and no care attitude but hella positive. Love you you 💖
Hey Nikkia, do you have a trick to stop your foundation to leave marks on turtlenecks jumper? I’m using the Estee Lauder Double Wear and no matter how much powder I use to set it on my neck and face, at the end of the day I have a bit of transfer on my black turtleneck 😭
Perfect, I hadn't seen a review on this new foundation. I just ordered this from Ulta - they got a TON of new Maybelline products on their site, can't wait for the delivery. Thanks for the review love!
For those of you majorly criticizing Nikkia for her highlighter and saying her placement is wrong, how it doesn't make sense to use matte foundation then apply highlight, and how it isn't doing her any favors..stop.

I agree! You still want a glow and you can’t get that with a matte foundation. I bought this and am hoping it works for my dry skin with really preparing my skin & hydrating the shit cuz even though I have dry skin, I still love a Matte finish. ☺️
Belby Blasphemy thank you! Well said👍
Shelby Lynne I’m dry and I use matte foundations w/ highlighter I don’t see the problem lol ppl are so problematic over anything.
Preach 🙌🏻
I love that u take ur time to help us poor oily girls to know what is good for us. Much thanks honey
Totally agree!!
Your 3 days reviews are really informative and thorough. Definitely an oily skin girl's dream
cheer up you lovely oily ladies :) I am 52 years old & still have a very oily t-zone but the bonus is I honestly have no wrinkles what so ever I just have some fine lines under my eyes so all's good AND shock horror ! I don't moisturise !! because it just makes me oilier & break out in Pimple's & I figure my natural oils do the job just fine. So rejoice you oily 20 something's & just know that in 30 years time you'll look like you're still in your 30s ;)....love your vids Nikkia you make me smile x

She’s right. My mum is 60 and looks 40 since she’s had oily skin all over her face as a teenager-30s and she didn’t expose her face to sun too much

Ashley try the elf poreless putty one, i haven’t try it yet but tons of people gave postive reviews on it
I really love this foundation. It looks flawless and has soooo good coverage. My All Nighter or especially Lock It looks straight up caked, but this one looks flawless and doesn’t emphasise my pores! So loving it ❤️

Seo Yeon Beauty good for oily skin??
I have super sensitive skin .. I'm wondering if this would be ok for me . Everything makeup related makes me break out and I hate it !!
I agree I have both Kat and All Nighter and they have always just been a bit too much. This is impressive full coverage (decent shade range) and what a great price. I would recommend over both for a good full coverage and several others out there as well.
Does it dry? I have the wet and wild photofocus one but it ends up looking cakey and it never completely dries (feels weird /doesn't adhiere to the skin )
That purple inner corner is gorgeous especially with that nail polish ❤️ queeeen

You make the best review 3 days and with diferents products, this is the way to make it! Thank you for that 🤗
Nikkia, you are my savior! There is no one on youtube who does reviews so thoroughly and if they do they have DRY SKIN. Can't wait to try this foundation, thank you so much from all of us oily girls!❤️☺️
You should check out Thaytallia. Oily, acne, and then went on accutane and now drier. She is so straight up. Love both Nikkia and Thaytallia!
You are the Queen of foundation reviews. I really love them.
Love my girl Nikkia she's like one of the few who actually know how to do a review for people who like to get to the point for makeup. Love the 3 days of trying it out with different primers and powders since we all use different types 😗
I've been wanting to get the Huda foundation to test out a full coverage but girl you saved me cash by doing this review. Always a joy Nikkia, luv ya!!! 💓💓💓
Yea that's true. But can you get samples of the high end? Such as Huda or jouer?
I wouldn’t recommend that one for the ingredients. Try getting a sample of Jouer and at Sephora yes you can get samples of high end makeup.
ShaRae Burr Jouer will be your best option. I have it and the Huda foundation. The Jouer is mind-blowing! Literally super full coverage on half a pump! It takes 3-4 pumps of Huda to get that coverage and it only looks good from away. Up close its awful. I've never loved a foundation like i do Jouer.

Yes to Maybelline adding pumps to their foundation bottles! 🤗
Here in Europe we have always had pumps on all Maybeline foundations 😊
Soul Guardian I think it might only be the Fit Me Foundation that doesn’t have pumps here in the states. I know it’s such a small thing to complain about but it helps save product and over pouring. 😊
DAWN TALAMAS im serious
It's great to find good cheap foundations for oily skin. I discovered a new one too, natural collection, but I don't know if it's sold outside uk. It will cost a lot less than even maybelline! Thanks Nikkia!
Polly which one?
Polly yes...please share! 😊
Which one
I love the fact you test it out over a couple of days in combination with other products! So many people don’t realize how much of a difference it makes when you don’t use a product with the right things! ♥️
I don't know how I survived buying makeup before I found your channel! I am so so oily and you have really raised my makeup game! Thank you!!!!!!!!
You’re the only one i watch when it comes to make up and it’s lasting effects. You dig so down to how it works and what’s its cons. I’m definitely gonna buy the Foundation, since it’s matte + poreless Foundation is my fav. Thank you so much Nikkia 🤗
Honestly I love it when you use the blotting paper and show us how much oil you actually produce! I have very very similar skin to yours and it always annoys the crap out of me when my friend says she is soooo oily but she blots and there are 2 tiny ass spots on her paper???? GIRL PLZZZZ I WOULD KILL FOR YOUR "OILY" SKIN.
maario210 Yes Honey, but you will probably have better with that Oily Skin. If I how old you are, but in my late teens/early 20s, I was so oily that I couldn't keep foundation on my face. I'm going to be 30 this year, and while still a little oily, I'm drying up lol. I actually want some of that back, because I'm seeing fine lines and the like lol. Be grateful for what you DO have. I know easier said than done lol.
I completely agree! I have been reaching for my drugstore foundations much more than my high end foundations! I am here for the drugstore!!
Girl First I love your personality, secondly only you understand my struggle when it comes to Oily skin and finally you’re gorgeous ❤️
+Mayela Martinez aww you're too kind lovely. Thank you for your lovely comment 😘😘
I so love your 3 day reviews. I also want to say your purple corner eyeshadow on the first day was gorgeous.
Plz review the Clinique beyond perfecting foundation + concealer pls
I am so impressed by this fondation, I swatched it on my hand in the drugstore and since than I washed my hands like hundred times, with soup and this stuff is still there, omg I think it's amazing
I️ love love love this 3 day check in style of foundation trial video!
You do such a great job describing your experience. I always trust your foundation recommendations 100%
Tried the hourglass primer because of you and I love it! Makes me look so flawless😭 love these type of foundation reviews also! Thank you nikkia!
i seriously can't try a new foundation without you testing it first lol.. ps -congrats on your engagement nikkia!!! ILY
I have to say I love this style of foundation testing out. I think this gives more in-depth look at any foundation. This looks so good!
The eyeshadow looks amazing 😍❤️
Sick of seeing negative comments!! Nikkita is BEAUTIFUL how she is!! If she wants to wear Highlight let her! Who cares! Don’t listen to any of those people you’re gorgeous how you are boo! You’re the sweetest most kindest person ever Idk how anyone could ever say anything negative about you!! Love ya girl thnx for always giving us thorough reviews!! 💜
WOW...that seems to be a WONDERFUL foundation! I think after 10-12 hours, it looks just exactly as it did when you 1st applied it, after blotting of course, but OMG girl! Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
Love love love your three day wear videos!! They do such a good job of actually showing the potential of the foundation and how it last on our oily-girl’s skin 🙌🏻💛
Milk foundation should be next. I trust all of ur opinions. We have VERY similar skin. The products that u recommend have not failed me yet darling. Keep up the great work. 😍💕😘
I LOVE that you use it with different primers/powders and show it without!
I don't think I've ever actually seen you do a foundation review before, because I'm a relatively new subscriber. I really enjoyed how you spread it out over 3 days and tried different techniques for it's application though, because everybody does it differently. For your oily skin, have you ever tried introducing a facial oil into your night time skincare routine? Sometimes people produce excess oil due to dehydration, so using a facial oil at night gives your skin the hydration it needs which then stops it from over producing during the day. It's probably something that you've already been told about and tried, but I thought I may as well mention it just in case. I hope you're having a brilliant day! 😘
+_makeupandcoffee_ hi lovely! Welcome to the family!❤️and yes I talk about using oils at night all the time! It works incredibly well to correct the skins hydration! 99% of the time the skin is oily because it’s dry. Much love xx
Hi Nikkia, thanks for this review! I may give this a whirl sometime. I wanted to thank you so much for your initial review of the Maybelline Fit Me Powder. I've been using pressed for years and the loose I have tried hasn't worked for me. The Maybelline has completely shocked me both in appearance and with the longevity of my makeup. Been using it for a couple of weeks now and I love it. It's all because of you! You rock, girl.
I love how you test for more than one day!!
could you do a video on what it’s like being a makeup artist?? you could go over things like a beginner makeup kit, how to keep everything sanitary, how to cater to clients needs, etc. thanks! 💗💫
Also pls review the bareminerals barepro performance wear liquid foundation plz
you just do the best foundation test! thank you for going to such an indepth look and putting it through so many levels. It really is appreciated. I have dry/normal skin but it is good to see how people react to it and because everyone at my work know that i am a makeup addict, they come and ask my opinion and it helps me to know how it works on other skin types. Thank you very much! love you and hope your voice is better soon!
loving that purple inner corner with your blue eyes and black hair omg 💕
Angelica Figueroa I have to disagree 😔 it looks like she's either sick, or got punched in the face
I just picked up the Maybelline Fit Me Powder based on your reviews and OMG you were not lying! Not cakey at all! You're the best, Nikkia!
Can you do tutorials for all the eye looks? They were all so lovely.
tried this for the first time today because of your recommendation and I AM IN LOVE. I was not even a tiny bit shiny at the end of the day and that never happens on my skin. I think I even like it better then the Estee Lauder double wear.
Thank you for trying it so many ways through three days instead of doing a first impressions saying you'll update us and then never saying another word about it. You're one of the best.
You are by far my all time favorite youtuber. I've always tried your recommendations being an oily skin gal myself. I've bought the hourglass primer even though its kinda pricey $64CAD 😧 But I love it!!! The este lauder foundation, Girl (nikkia voice) I love it!!! You're just my favorite & I love your content. Also wanna say congrats on the engagement 😍 Take care Nikkia. P.S I'm anxiously waiting for the eyelashes to launch 😀
I'm so grateful that the drugstore is coming through with all this amazing affordable makeup. Because I sure do live on a budget. But I still want to wear incredible makeup and the drugstore is wear is at . thank you for this review your amazing on how thorough you are with these type of reviews! Greatly appreciated!
OMG. "My titties are shaking, quaking and baking"!! Lmao I love it. Xoxoxox
Thank god for your reviews! Some people say that it's annoying when all the beauty gurus review the same stuff but I think it's important because not everyone has the same skin type and skin tone and watching someone like you helps me decide if a foundation is suitable for my skin type.
I liked day two look out of all three 😁
I love that you did a 3-day wear test with different products!!! This was the best review on a foundation I’ve seen in a while 😄 and congratulations again on your engagement!! 💍
Tutorial on the first two days eye looks please!
Love that you do the review with three days of wear with variables. Thanks for the great review!
I love this foundation, it has become one of my favorites since I reviewed it a while ago! 😊
i’m living for that second eye look !!!
Nikkiaaa !! I was really looking forward to a review on this foundation because surprisingly it's already in our drugstores in Romania ( shocking !!! I feel like we're always the last ones when it comes to beauty products - imagine that they've brought in stores, the maybelline age rewind concealer this year 😥😣) anywaaaay ... My skin is really similar to yours and same as you , my ride or die foundation is the estee lauder double wear so your first impressions for oily skin foundation are very very useful !!! As always, hugs and kisses from Romania. Love you and your work !! And congrats on your engagement !!!
I've battled oily skin for over 30 years! Moisturizing made a difference like you wouldn't believe! I'm excited to try this foundation and the Fit Me powder! Screenshot in hand I'm going to Wal-Mart!
Love the make up on Day 2, it was super pretty.
+eleanor7 Thank you!😍
What eyeshadows did you use Nikkia? Absolutely gorgeous!
Marleena LoPizzo I love how she refuses to respond to that question even though so many people have asked. Unsubscribed. 👎
I've never seen such extensive foundation reviews, I love your videos Nikkia!
Would it be possible for you to start listing your makeup worn in the notes section? I am always so curious what you are wearing on your eyes but never know. :) That would be so helpful!
Alexandria Rojas I know I agree, I always want her lip colors!
I seriously love you girl!! I have very oily skin as well and your videos have been a god send! One thing that I’m very impressed with is how you choose the right color foundation every time. I never seem to get it right when I try with drugstore foundations. I use mat velvet plus in shade 35 but I can never seem to find another shade close to it.
second day makeup 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 😍😍😍
I really believe that all the info that is given is very helpful for all of us oily skin type girls makeup as we now does not have a set of rules so what i like is not necessary something that you should like so respect every one and every style .
Love you’re videos and always be you’re self that’s what I really like from this videos like ya !!
Day 2 what eyeshadow are you wearing??
Kristy Kelly thank you!! I ordered the HUDA mini platelets maybe I can create same look.
Sandy Rodriguez looks like cosmo from Huda Beauty Desert Dusk. Could be wrong though
I was just gonna ask! it looks beautiful
Sandy Rodriguez does she answer? Following.
Debra Trimble no she never responded..
I️ really like how you tested the foundation multiple times in one video. The same foundation can wear completely different on me from day to day. Great review. Sending love all the way from Compton, California! 😍
I love how you use the blotting sheets at the end of the day to show us how oily you really are! That us definitely my skin too at the end of the day xD
Just discovered your channel yesterday and have been loving every video, especially because I also get super oily throughout the day .. btw , your skin always looks flawless with every foundation !!
I know youve probably said it so many times before but giirrlll what lipstick are you wearing!! Its the perfect shade and always looks flawless!! I need to get this!
I don’t know how you don’t have more subscribers your abs amazing, I love your reviews on everything!
Review the Clinique beyond perfecting foundation + concealer plz
Danise Bautista i have that foundation alingbwith esteee lauder maximum cover double wear but after two hours the clinique already separates :( i like the old foundation that they used to have better
Those purple inner corners are 🔥🔥🔥!
I’m so happy for your engagement!!
Nikkia is the best at reviews and first impressions 😭 FAV
You have that special sparkle in your eye..nice to see you so happy nikkia...when do you think the maybelline fit me powder be coming out to australia?? I now live in tassie and the shipping costs and shipping time is like forever here😔
Is it in Priceline? I’ve been searching Priceline online in Vic but no bingo!
I can't wait to buy this foundation !! My usual combo is priming with the mufe smoothing primer , patting it on not rubbing , waiting 5 minutes then applying a mattifying primer , wait 5 minutes again then apply foundation . My go to concealer and powder is the LA girl pro concealer and NYX HD translucent pressed powder !!
Looks flawless on you. Love it lady xx 💙💙💙
I’m about to try this foundation myself. I must have close to 20 different foundations by now. Most of them Nikkia recommended 🤗. I love testing what you like. It really has improved my makeup game!!
I just bought the Fenty foundation, buuuuut I suppose I can never have too many foundations :P Thanks for the review!
@Mariah Cherish - I just ordered it from Sephora too! I'm going to save the Fenty for special occasions and get this one for everyday!!!
I was going to say I thought this might be more full coverage than the Fenty. For super full coverage, I love the Kat Von D Lock-It. I can't wait to try the Superstay 24 though :)
I haven't found anything that covers like Fenty its my favorite. I just don't use drug store foundation sorry girls. The Maybellen looks amazing on Nikkia but then everything looks good on her.
+Mariah Cherish I believe you are right - this one is totally full coverage - I used to use the Kat Von Dee Lock It Powder foundation. I have never used the liquid. I started to order the BECCA but the Sephora rep recommended the Fenty and Nikkia really liked it too. It will be awhile before it comes, they are experiencing high volumes since the sale. I'm excited I ordered a Huda palette and I am an eyeshadow nut. I have way too much already. I want the new NARS that just came out that only Rouge can order. It never ends.....
Mariah Cherish hahahahahaha same here!!!
I love how excited you get, when you try new things.
I can only hope they have my shade.... but you look stunning! 💋❤
Sophie Pratt girl me too fingers crossed 🤞🏽
If they don't just use mixers. I can't wear any foundation without mixers to make them light and yellow enough for me.
Belby Blasphemy which brand mixer do u use?
I love these three part reviews! They are so helpful when considering a product. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos!
I’m not shocked that your skin looks just as good if not better without a primer... honestly I think they are a gimmick and just a way to get more money out of us bc I have so many primers and very expensive ones at that- everytime I forget to put a primer on my skin looks so much better and I’m always like what the heck! It’s a conspiracy I tell ya! Definitely need a powder though!
Alexandra Jimenez I feel this exact way over setting sprays too. I have extremely oily skin & all nighter & Gerard cosmetics setting sprays make me look cakey and way worse after a few hours than I do without them! I've tried so many, and no. Just no.
Hollywood Mishap try the de-slick one by UD, it’s made for oily skin. I have it and it makes everything look good and I don’t get oily at all
Primers always tint my skin a different color. It’s really odd.
Sarah Infinger I tried that one after All Nighter. It didn't do me any favors at all. I've tried at least 10-15 different ones & they all do the same thing to me
I don't use primers, just moisturize at morning and at night. I also set my face makeup with powder. My foundation lasts about 16 hours
I always go to you for foundation reviews because we have the exact same skin type and u keep ur reviews thorough and real! Love u girl
Yes girl. I want it now. lol. Thanks for the video.
I LOVE this review Nikia! It just goes to show how important it is to find products that work for and with our skin type.
Drug store stepping up their game 😍😍 Lol at the start of the video I was waiting for “this isn’t available in Australia yet” Just so used to hearing that 😂😂
I live for your foundation reviews, you haven't ever led me astray! I love your lighting too :) I'm still learning how to make my videos better quality and I hope they look like yours someday!!
You always come thru!
+GOLDEN GLAMOURZON I always try to lovely 😘😘
So thankful you do these kinds of reviews!! I have super oily skin, like my blotting sheets look the same lol. Your tips and recommendations are so helpful!
Also, can you do a tutorial on the eye look from your review on the second day?!? It’s beautiful!!
which glitter eyeshadow did you wear on your lid in the second day? :*
i was wondering the same thing, looks soooo gorgeous!!
Me too! Gorgeous
If im correct its most likely the HUDA desert duSk palette :)
Wow Maybelline is killing it lately!! I need to try this foundation for sure. Love that you do 3 different days with different products. 🙌🏼 Always enjoy your content!😘💕
Do you think this is better than double wear?
C1nderfire I was wondering the same thing!
My guess is that Estée Lauder foundation still wears longer cause it works like a matte hardcore paint on the face. This Maybelline one looks more natural though, which makes me think it would last a little bit less than Estée Lauder. It’s probably good to have both and wear them depending on the occasion.
I personally think it’s better because the doublewear is Really cakey on me... this is just lit!
Yes I would like to know also! I LOVE double wear, but don’t love the price. I know you love double wear too, so how does this compare?
purple Mia - it might not look so cakey on you if you wear moisturizing primer under and/or mix it with some oil. Right now with the winter weather it would look cakey on me too, but I’m moisturizing and priming my skin really well before applying Double Wear, and it looks awesome. But if I don’t take those extra steps I’m pretty screwed, hehe. I think Double Wear is ideal for hot weather and oily/combination skin, but with a couple extra steps, it can work well for dry skin too.
I actually like watching you blot because the saaaaaaaame shit happens to me and it makes me feel better that someone else especially a UA-cam I LOVE has the same situation. I love your honesty and no care attitude but hella positive. Love you you 💖
Hey Nikkia, do you have a trick to stop your foundation to leave marks on turtlenecks jumper? I’m using the Estee Lauder Double Wear and no matter how much powder I use to set it on my neck and face, at the end of the day I have a bit of transfer on my black turtleneck 😭
Perfect, I hadn't seen a review on this new foundation.
I just ordered this from Ulta - they got a TON of new Maybelline products on their site, can't wait for the delivery. Thanks for the review love!
