I can forgive cheap packaging for quality formulation. Especially when looking at affordable products. Thanks for the info for those of us on a budget!
girl... im gen z myself, no one genuinely cares (or should) about using specific makeup products (the felt liner thing!) like why are we giving non-problems any of our time 😭 i despise that whole thing. just do what you want ! also the lips were GORGEOUS u look so fresh and pretty today
Exactly what I was thinking!!! Like, how can a formula be a trend...? I like that you can choose between a felt liner, a liquid liner, a gel liner etc. so I can pick and choose what works for me.
When you're glammed up you're downright gorgeous, but when you're makeup-free and natural, you're also downright cute. I don't know how you pull that off, but you do.
ikr!! i just got done commenting something very similar but then i got a little worried I came across as a kiss-a$$, u know? I was so glad to read your comment bcz our comments pretty much say the same thing. 🙂
Founder and CEO is Marissa Shipman (of theBalm Cosmetics) - a "beauty industry veteran who wanted to create a line of high-quality, affordable cosmetics that are trendy and iconic. Pretty Smart is a subsidiary of Renfield Manufacturing, a family-owned business, and the brand develops, manufactures, and distributes its products in-house." I think they are being pretty smart in putting their funds into formula and ingredients vs. the components (thank you!). I tried the eyeshadow and it isn't super pigmented, but looks great on and has staying power - just requires a bit more blendin. I tried the glowy primer and it seemed to make my foundation patchy, but will try again later. Feeling hopeful about this line and grateful that entreprenuers are still willing to come to the table new, affordable options for us in such a crowded space. Good for them!
Hi Tati! Just came to thank you so so much for covering a makeup line with a lower price point. I can’t be alone in finding everyday life has become crazy expensive. Finding a ‘want’ item like makeup that’s more affordable is a win. The ‘needs’ in life are costing more and more but there are necessary to live, makeup is nice to have.
Love the look Tati! You rock a winged eyeliner and this brand looks beautiful. I can get past the cheaper packaging if the product is good. Thank you for introducing us to Pretty Smart. ❤
Thank you for talking through you eyeshadow application ❤ I am struggling with droopy eyelids and *just turned 50, so everything on my body must fall* crap. 😢😂 I appreciate you, for all your dedication and sweetness to your viewers🥰🥰🥰
Not stopping a liquid liner wing here! It fits my eye shape and it enhances it so well and I don’t feel like myself without it, don’t care what the trends say.
What’s interesting is I still do liner everyday, and I *always* get compliments on my makeup. I’m trying to be better about doing what makes me feel pretty, and not what is trendy. And those types of compliments help validate it 💖
I love the juxtaposition of watching you shop at Nordstroms and Nieman Marcus, to thinking of you trudging through walmart! One of the many reasons why i adore you, something for everyone
I’ve been loving most of the products from this brand. It’s from the people over at The Balm cosmetics. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for new releases from Pretty Smart. Sending prayers and love to you and James ❌⭕️🦋
Saw a review of this the other day and it totally talked me out of even considering it-always surprised when influencers have such vastly different opinions. Thanks for another great video 💕
These are the makeup videos I love the most. The new cheep makeup cus that's all I can afford and i have to be choose very particularly cus I can only get one thing a month. Plus I love the tips and when you don't like something telling us what you would use yourself around the same price range. Thank you for the drugstore videos cus I understand not everyone is struggling financially like me cus im on disability but I try not to watch high-end videos im sorry I just have fomo and the one thing that helps with my mental disability is playing with makeup. This video just made me so happy and I have to go get my tooth pulled now with no laughing gas so my anxiety is bad and you calmed me down so thank you. You brightened my day and I have new tips to try next makeup play sesch. Lol ❤❤❤❤
Hello! I just discovered your videos and I’m hooked. I’m an unemployed middle age woman on a budget. I love your honesty and suggestions. I to struggle with my brows and the continuous concealer search for good coverage, non creasing formulas. I just purchased the LAGirl concealer…would’ve never thought to try it and girl, I’m hooked thanks to you. I also just purchased castor oil for my eyelashes. You’re amazing! Thank you soooo much. You and Scott Barnes videos are excellent, as well. You’re both drop dead gorgeous, real, honest and addictive to watch. I’m now a faithful watcher. Grateful girlie-Robin S😊
That bronzer would probably work really well for me, I'm very pale so I always have a bit of red with my "tan" if I get some sun. The slightly crisped look is very natural to me.
Something to think about when it comes to the packaging is that it is better than plastic, which could be the company trying to leave less of an environmental footprint.
Wow! I loved the glow of the foundation. Curious how it all wore throughout the day. I have a few brands that were much higher price points ( the Balm, Too faced, Wander Beauty) that use the cardboard packaging so this doesn’t bother me as long as the product is good.
Omg the direction you gave on the eye makeup technique was truly superb. You are so articulate even when over excited and passionate and i teally appreciate it! Wonderful tutorial moment xxx
Tati I loved this new line … you applied everything so beautifully and the shades are so soft and yet such a glam look all in one ❤ I will be heading over to Walmart 😊😉You look amazing 🤩 Thank you for sharing your gf’s wedding ❤xo’s 💋
The cheaper packaging is probably one of the reasons they can sell these at such a cheap price point. A trade off I'd take any day. I'm not a packaging nerd.
I love that you don't go big and bushy or blocky with your brows! My natural brows are on the skinnier side too, and I feel like that has to be normalized more - big brows don't suit everyone imo
I agree - eyebrows should be the shape/size that fits a persons face. UA-camr Kelly Gooch also embraces her thinner brows because they just suit her the best!
Love the eye look! Who cares about packaging? Just needs to protect the product. Pretty Smart was founded by The Balm's founder, so it should be decent. I'm looking forward to picking up some pieces.
We definitely are our own worst critic… I didn’t see anything wrong with your hair pulled back. The makeup looked great on you! I seriously didn’t see the issue you were having with the brows 🤷♀️. Thank you for sharing your weekend w/ us and showing us your gorgeous friends.
Love the idea thatbyour trying something new from Walmart. Question.. what type of bronzer is most forgiving for a beginer? Ive never played with any of that..
I prefer the idea that is better to invest in a good product than in a good package for a lower price!! The packing sell one time, a good product by the costumer!!
I am so out of it that I did not know you are here in Texas! Still love your videos after all these years. Thank you for continuing to show drugstore brands, I appreciate that so much. ❤
Tati I love you, I'm 26 but I have been watching you since I was 16, whenever I'm stressed or overthinking I love watching your videos where you talk about makeup and make me forget whatever I was overthinking about haha❤️ love you. Thank you for making video and sticking to what makes you happy. You make me happy too❤️❤️
This line is soo nice! I just picked up a couple of their products and they’re not bad at all! I love your whole look, gorgeous! Also, I’m still loving winged liner and I’m 43😂 nobody is gonna make stop😂
I have seen this brand and wanted to try it so badly and I’ve seen a few other people review it, but I really really was waiting for you because I trust your opinion more than anybody if I’m at the store and I’m trying to figure something out or see if something works. I always reference your videos first to see if you’ve tried it.
I feel the same way about the hair pulled back. I find a stretchy band can sometimes be pretty because the hair still falls around your shoulders but stays out of makeup.
I’ve gotten a lot of this Pretty smart makeup and was impressed how good it is! This brand is made by the same creators of the Balm and all products are made in USA. sorry if u mentioned this in the video. Commenting before watching lol love the fit today! The brown with the turquoise jewelry is a vibe
Your brows look great and adding the little tiny wand to your eyebrows, made them perfect. Please tell us where you bought that top. It looks like it has rayon in it, which is one of my favorite fibers.
I think you look beautiful in these colors in this brand. Love the lips, love the base, I'm going to go buy this stuff because I want to look like you. You rocked it!
I can forgive cheap packaging for quality formulation. Especially when looking at affordable products. Thanks for the info for those of us on a budget!
The creator of The Balm makeup line also is behind Pretty Smart. Love this affordable brand!!
That makes so much sense! They use the cardboard packaging also…
No wonder the packaging reminded so much of it.
It makes sense they would put the money in the product and save on the packaging. I respect that.
Agreed and plus, cardboard is easier to recycle.
girl... im gen z myself, no one genuinely cares (or should) about using specific makeup products (the felt liner thing!) like why are we giving non-problems any of our time 😭 i despise that whole thing. just do what you want ! also the lips were GORGEOUS u look so fresh and pretty today
I love what you said about giving non-problems our time! So true! And I’m a baby boomer so I’m waaay out of touch apparently. 😆🥰
She’s a millennial like me. I’m 1989. 1980-1995 are Millennials.
Exactly what I was thinking!!! Like, how can a formula be a trend...? I like that you can choose between a felt liner, a liquid liner, a gel liner etc. so I can pick and choose what works for me.
i'm glad to see a younger person saying this. the 'trend' stuff drives me insane & wears me out 😅
When you're glammed up you're downright gorgeous, but when you're makeup-free and natural, you're also downright cute. I don't know how you pull that off, but you do.
She does full skin prep before every video and has facials ❤ but still tati without makeup looks like me if I got a professional makeup job 😂
So true!! Tati is natural beauty for sure ❤
ikr!! i just got done commenting something very similar but then i got a little worried I came across as a kiss-a$$, u know? I was so glad to read your comment bcz our comments pretty much say the same thing. 🙂
I second that! The one and only makeup influencer whos recommendation I consider worthy. Thank u for always staying consistent Tati❤
You make me want to dye my blonde back dark! So pretty

I really LOVE it when you do affordable products! You have so much credibility, it means so much when you showcase makeup that is affordable. ❤

@ericataylorbeauty has some great eye makeup application tips for our “mature” eyes to help update our looks and enhance our changing beauty
The bronze-y/golden tone outfit with the turquoise jewelry is such a slay. I turn 30 soon and still want to be Tati when I grow up 😂
I turn 59 n still want to be Tati!.. 😊
Im 43 and literally her age, yet I also want to be Tati. Not sure I'll ever grow up tho 😆
do you know what's the neckless/where from/what brand
Don't we all want to grow up to be Tati xx

Omigod!! I can’t believe you reviewed a brand I suggested! I can’t wait to see what you think. Thank you Tati! ❤🦋
I love the juxtaposition of watching you shop at Nordstroms and Nieman Marcus, to thinking of you trudging through walmart! One of the many reasons why i adore you, something for everyone
All of the base products look so good! I wanna try their products now.
I’ve been loving most of the products from this brand. It’s from the people over at The Balm cosmetics. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for new releases from Pretty Smart.
Sending prayers and love to you and James ❌⭕️🦋
I like the final look. All the shades come together and don't look too makeup-y as you say. Very pretty shades on you, Tati.
The cheap package is what makes the brand so affordable 😜
The hubby call out about the curling iron is so me and relatable 😂😂❤
Yes, we could NOT survive without those men. 😂
Your brows look great and adding the little tiny wand to your eyebrows, made them perfect
I think the brow gel is perfect!!! Doesn’t look overly pigmented
The bronzing drops look really pretty
The winged liner and red lips are SO pretty❣️❣️ If I like them because I'm a millenial, I don't care!

Hi! I love this types of get ready try on videos! And new affordable makeup!💄 thank you 😊 for keeping it classic!❤
Great video on this new line from Walmart. I personally liked the eyeshadow and I also think your brows looked really good with the brow tinted gel.
That bronzer would probably work really well for me, I'm very pale so I always have a bit of red with my "tan" if I get some sun. The slightly crisped look is very natural to me.
Something to think about when it comes to the packaging is that it is better than plastic, which could be the company trying to leave less of an environmental footprint.
Could you do a video where you show what you'd use for a bridal makeup please x
This would be a good set for travel, nice small containers, no issue if anything gets lost or stolen
Hi I'm Alicia and its been exactly one day since Ive used my felt liner. Wooowhooo and I love it!!!🎉🤠😂
Yay so happy you're reviewing this! 🦋🦋🦋
I love your drugstore reviews! As a busy mom my children come first so it’s not always in my budget to spend on expensive makeup. Thank you ❤
Wow! I loved the glow of the foundation. Curious how it all wore throughout the day. I have a few brands that were much higher price points ( the Balm, Too faced, Wander Beauty) that use the cardboard packaging so this doesn’t bother me as long as the product is good.
Oh love your necklace Tati!!❤
The curling iron exchange 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes afforadable make up I love it , thank you Tati i enjoyed watching😀
Oh my gosh TATI!!
first of all you're GORGEOUS as always and I'm only seconds info this video but now I can't unsee the lion lol
You don't have to be so self deprecating all the time. There's no need. You're beautiful. ❤
I saw that brand but didn’t dare until you reviewed it!!!
Omg the direction you gave on the eye makeup technique was truly superb. You are so articulate even when over excited and passionate and i teally appreciate it! Wonderful tutorial moment xxx
Yes, I agree! I also live in subtropical, humid, and HOT.
So, I am saying this because my face shape, skin concerns oily too!
Love you Tati!
You look stunning as usual! I’m so happy you have your sparkle back and twinkle in your eyes Thank you for sharing another affordable brand! ❤
Immediately tapped the notification to watch! Happy Thursday, Tati. Love your content! 🦋🩵
Tati I loved this new line … you applied everything so beautifully and the shades are so soft and yet such a glam look all in one ❤ I will be heading over to Walmart 😊😉You look amazing 🤩 Thank you for sharing your gf’s wedding ❤xo’s 💋
Excited to try this line!
The cheaper packaging is probably one of the reasons they can sell these at such a cheap price point. A trade off I'd take any day. I'm not a packaging nerd.
Thanks Tati for the video, definitely will consider investing in this brand! Appreciate your tips!
I love that you don't go big and bushy or blocky with your brows! My natural brows are on the skinnier side too, and I feel like that has to be normalized more - big brows don't suit everyone imo
I agree - eyebrows should be the shape/size that fits a persons face. UA-camr Kelly Gooch also embraces her thinner brows because they just suit her the best!
Hi Tati would you (where possible) leave outfit & accessory details in description box as I ADORE your fashion!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
Love the eye look! Who cares about packaging? Just needs to protect the product.
Pretty Smart was founded by The Balm's founder, so it should be decent. I'm looking forward to picking up some pieces.
We definitely are our own worst critic… I didn’t see anything wrong with your hair pulled back. The makeup looked great on you! I seriously didn’t see the issue you were having with the brows 🤷♀️. Thank you for sharing your weekend w/ us and showing us your gorgeous friends.

I prefer the idea that is better to invest in a good product than in a good package for a lower price!! The packing sell one time, a good product by the costumer!!
They have pretty great liquid blushes - totally worth it.
That color of lipstick is gorgeous on you!
I think the hair looks nice in the "out of the way" look, especially with the little hoops 🤗
Wow that lip color of the stain looks so good on you!!
I love when she and James talk ...ahhhhhhhh
Your hair is gorgeous Tati! Please keep it this way!
I think I might prefer the cardboard to allllll of the plastic drugstore components that break on me.
I am so out of it that I did not know you are here in Texas! Still love your videos after all these years. Thank you for continuing to show drugstore brands, I appreciate that so much. ❤
Tati, I absolutely love the winged liner on you!! Gorgeous!!!
Tati I love you, I'm 26 but I have been watching you since I was 16, whenever I'm stressed or overthinking I love watching your videos where you talk about makeup and make me forget whatever I was overthinking about haha❤️ love you. Thank you for making video and sticking to what makes you happy. You make me happy too❤️❤️
You look amazing!! The bold eye and lip was beautiful!
My favorite types of videos!!! You seem so excited I love it.
Always fun to watch you play with makeup, Tati💄💋!! Oh my goodness, that wedding you attended looked beautiful & bougie! 👰🏼😊❤
Such pretty pink nail polish, Tati! It matches perfectly with the powder makeup packaging. The products look really nice on you, too!
This line is soo nice! I just picked up a couple of their products and they’re not bad at all! I love your whole look, gorgeous! Also, I’m still loving winged liner and I’m 43😂 nobody is gonna make stop😂
Balm is good brand that does cardboard packaging. They have a great bronzer!
And... Mary Luminizer. She was my first highlighter I even completely finished, even the crumbs.
Maybe I'm alone in this, but perhaps the cardboard packaging is recyclable. If the formula works, I'm all about it. Might be worth a try.
Why shocked? The drugstore slays!!
Thank you for putting your hair back!!!😊
Your make up looks great. I had never heard of this line before, so thanks for introducing me to it.
I have seen this brand and wanted to try it so badly and I’ve seen a few other people review it, but I really really was waiting for you because I trust your opinion more than anybody if I’m at the store and I’m trying to figure something out or see if something works. I always reference your videos first to see if you’ve tried it.
New uploads are always something to look forward to!
I feel the same way about the hair pulled back. I find a stretchy band can sometimes be pretty because the hair still falls around your shoulders but stays out of makeup.
Maybe the "cheaper" packaging is how they can have good quality products at such an affordable cost.
Great video - could watch u do makeup all day ♡♡♡ Not a brand we have in Scotland but as always you made it look fantastic ♡♡♡
I love drugstore!!! And I have the Pretty Smart pink blush and love it!
Loved it. I think that the one that created The Balm is behind this brand.
I’ve gotten a lot of this Pretty smart makeup and was impressed how good it is! This brand is made by the same creators of the Balm and all products are made in USA. sorry if u mentioned this in the video. Commenting before watching lol love the fit today! The brown with the turquoise jewelry is a vibe
The products seem like a great budget option
I love the look and your nail polish, so gorgeous and chic
Love your hair Tati 💕
I love seeing all the generations come together in the comments 😂
Your brows look great and adding the little tiny wand to your eyebrows, made them perfect. Please tell us where you bought that top. It looks like it has rayon in it, which is one of my favorite fibers.
Omg such a great idea for the bronzing drops!!! Love it 💕💕
I love your hair! It looks so soft and healthy 💕💕
Exscuse me you look gorgeous with your hair out of your face. Youre so pretty Tati! Love your hair today!
I think you look beautiful in these colors in this brand. Love the lips, love the base, I'm going to go buy this stuff because I want to look like you. You rocked it!
I love the minimal packaging. Better for the environment. Also more money spent on good ingredients & formulation vs. money on dumb bulking packaging.
OMG the eyeshadow application and tutorial is❤ everything
Love love love affordable makeup!!! Definitely going to try!!
I love when a new affordable brand takes off the market 🎉
I LOOOOVE the winged liner on you!!
🦋 love you Tati!! 💙
Nothing I love more then Tati trying make up in front of a camera, my favorite videos are these ❤
Your necklace brings out your eye colour so well 👀🩵
