Judy! Can I just say Thank You for having such high quality lighting and video settings. I love that I am able to actually SEE the product, rather than it being washed out like some other beauty gurus videos. I appreciate that you care and take the time to make sure everything is perfect for your loyal viewers and that's why we love you Judy!
Forever 21 Korean owned company so I can see why even their "medium" shade was so light. Koreans are typically pale as it considered their beauty standard, but if Forever 21 was going to release this line to the States, they definitely should have came out with a larger shade variety that was going to be suitable for everyone.
simplycuterachel Hi Forever 21 is an American company. It was just originally intended for the Korean community in Los Angeles when it was first opened in 1984. I completely agree with you though that they should have a larger shade selection especially considering that their HQ is in California which is obviously a very diverse state.
Yes please do a first impression trying it on. I know though the foundation is too light but it would still be interesting to see the performance and staying power and slightly entertaining to see how light their "medium" shade looks lol. The medium definitely loooked too light even for me and I'm fair.
I hate when some brands only cater to fairer skin tones and always leave us darker skin tones to boot, we also shop at Forever21 too. Anyway, I think the foundations are way overpriced for it being a product manufactured in Korea and am not impressed with the products overall and I was thinking of purchasing the products to review on my channel, but now I won't be doing that. Thanks for the review Judy
I know they're new, but geez... there are so many more than just three skin tones out there. I don't like that companies think it's ok to put products out and not offer enough colors to account for the variety in our complexions! Not cool... lol... but great, unbiased review, as always!
Exactly. I remember MAC did that with one of their foundations and the ladies went off!! They claimed the reason they release three shades was to "test" out the product and releases the other shades months later. They didn't even have shades that favored very fair complexions.
Forever21 is a Korean brand or own by a korean people/person. Korean makeup, like foundations and powders are light in general, because being fair is what' is considered pretty in Korea. I think buying an actual Korean brand make up like tony moly, amore, or etude house is a better choice. Thanks for the review Judy!
Omg! That's me! :D Thank you for doing the review! I really appreciate that. You're amazing Judy and I always love your videos. They are always the start of my day.
To clear things up: Forever 21 is an American brand. The owners are Korean American. There is only 2 locations in Korea and Forever 21 is a registered business in the state of California. It is the fault of the people who work at the headquarters in CA that there are only 3 off color shades. It is sad to see that they don't even have foundation for women of color. Not impressed.
People think they are too good for inexpensive stuff. I think for a cheap store f21 is the best you are going to find with quality for the price. More than not I end up with something that is better quality than I expected.
+hairwithjazi yeah but they have a ton of clothes under five dollars in clearance, which is great for students, and the makeup is so inexpensive and great for short wear ! :)
I think these are overpriced, especially for what they are... Everything definitely looks better on their website! I think I'd rather buy NYX, maybelline, or Sonia Kashuk for the same price range. Thanks for the review :)
I love you Judy! I could listen to your voice all day, it's so soft and relaxing. I would love to see you do a first impression of these products. Thanks!
Forever21 have always had trouble adapting their products to suit different countries and cultures, they tried to trade in China but failed miserably so they withdrew themselves and are attempting again this year after going back to the drawing board. However, these products are cosmetic products!! and they haven't grasped that the 3 shade selections should be suitable to a western/american customer base and NOT Korea where it was manufactured! The packaging looks similar to Topshop! Great review Judy! You made up my mind... I certainly won't be purchasing anything from this line! You can get more for your money elsewhere! x
Forever 21 is a Korean company so they were probably making the makeup line to suit the trend over there. Most Korean people like keeping their skin very white and pale because that is the trend which might explain the foundations...haha and they like to keep their shadows and such very subtle. I'm sure they will expand their colors as they get reviews on their products. I hope this helps!! :)
I would love to see you do a first impression video with the Forever 21 products! They don't seem all that great from the swatches but I'd love to see how they apply and look in the face. You're the best Judy!
margie posada I don't mind shelling out crazy amounts of money for cosmetics, but based on the swatches of everything Judy had showed everything seemed to be extremely over priced. All I see is quantity over quality, not vice versa.
I was actually about to buy these products today and I'm very glad I watched this before I did! Definitely wouldn't have been worth the money. Thank you for doing this video (:
I really enjoy your reviews. They're the most helpful I've seen and you always do a great job about reviewing the products that reflect your viewership. Thank you!
Yea, after you mentioned that the packaging stated that it was "made in korea" the first thing I thought about was "Stylenanda's 3CE" cosmetics line. Their makeup packaging is so exact lol
I tried the Forever 21 "Velvet Lipgloss" and it actually works pretty well. It kind of works as a lip stain also but after you apply it, it dries up so theres no shine to it but so far I like it
I wold definitely like to see a full demo and review of the foundation. I'm really pale so it might workout very well, shade-wise, for me. Love the video!
Yes, please do a first impression! I would love to see how these products last throughout the day. Since they're from Forever 21, I already have an idea but I would still love to see a vid since you do first impressions so well. I want that bag though for my other make up products, lol!
Yes please! I would love to see do a review with a full face look with these products. Dulce candy made it look like the products were really good. I'd like to hear your thoughts on them before I go out and buy some lol
Hay judy!!!! I really feel like i have a connection to you and your family as wierd as that sounds. Every morning i put you guys on and sing "its judys life, Good Morning" and my boyfriend goes "oh here we go" lol. But id love if you and benji could do a segment in relationships, like how to keep it healthy and going strong. Like how to have healthy space and how to keep one and other. I admire your relationship i do :)
I love ur honesty of every review and even if I'm Korean I'm not gonna be bias about it.....and in the Korean culture women like their skin to be very light so that's probably why the face powder and foundations look lighter so definitely go darker than normal :)
From your review, its seems like they missed the mark in most categories. They act like they're trying to compete with Revlon or Covergirl but the quality is typical of forever 21.
oh maybe you dont know. but the person who started out F21 is korean and a christian. so if oyu ever wonder why F21 has crosses on a lot of their designs even before other clothing companies started doing it as a fashion statement, that is why.
I would never buy makeup from these clothing stores, notice how they never list the ingredients on the packaging? Who knows what's in it & if they test on animals in which I bet they do.
Forever 21 also got an issue brought up last year with their "faux fur" winter coats, because they were not, in fact, faux fur, but Chinese Raccoon Dog fur. The process of skinning those poor animals is horrific!!
I totally agree! It freaks me out that they don't list the ingredients. The website claims that the makeup line is "not tested on animals". Otherwise they also mention that the makeup contains "high-end ingredients"... whatever that means.
The products seem very mediocre. I wouldn't even consider Forever 21 makeup. The bag was cute, but nothing stood out about the makeup. Thx for the review!
Just because of the quality and the store that this came from, I'm going to assume that a lot of this line is targeted toward younger girls wanting to experiment with "better" makeup. These look like makeups that kids start learning with before they move up. :/
Judy! Can I just say Thank You for having such high quality lighting and video settings. I love that I am able to actually SEE the product, rather than it being washed out like some other beauty gurus videos. I appreciate that you care and take the time to make sure everything is perfect for your loyal viewers and that's why we love you Judy!
Yes do a full face first impressions review with just the forever 21 products!
FINALLY a brand with foundations for really pale skin, omfg ive Been searching for a light foundation literally FOREVER
Some brands actually have white foundations, so you can mix with your normal one if you are really pale.
I know, right?! I totally feel tempted to order them now :)
Forever 21 Korean owned company so I can see why even their "medium" shade was so light. Koreans are typically pale as it considered their beauty standard, but if Forever 21 was going to release this line to the States, they definitely should have came out with a larger shade variety that was going to be suitable for everyone.
LOL I had been shopping at Forever21 all this time and didn't even know it was Korean-owned ~
It's actually American and the owners are Korean (first store was in Cali). So it's a Korean American company! :)
That's what am talking about
simplycuterachel Hi Forever 21 is an American company. It was just originally intended for the Korean community in Los Angeles when it was first opened in 1984. I completely agree with you though that they should have a larger shade selection especially considering that their HQ is in California which is obviously a very diverse state.
Miriam John If you go on the Forever21 site it says it's made in Korea..well it used to..
After watching this. I would never spend my money on that. Thanks for the review Judy!
We need first impression! do a full on makeup with these! would be nice x
Do an impression on Forever 21 make-up! Please! Love you Judy
The CEO is Korean and Christian. So if you look at the bottom of the Forever 21 shopping bags, it says “John 3:16“
Yes please do a first impression trying it on. I know though the foundation is too light but it would still be interesting to see the performance and staying power and slightly entertaining to see how light their "medium" shade looks lol. The medium definitely loooked too light even for me and I'm fair.
almost at 1 million judyyy!!!
she shouldve been the first to get to a million shes truly the best ^^
First impression on the blush!!!
I really appreciate the honesty that comes with first impression videos.. It's saves me money in the long run!!
I hate when some brands only cater to fairer skin tones and always leave us darker skin tones to boot, we also shop at Forever21 too.

Getting kind of sick of drugstore and cheap brands jacking their prices so high.
I love how you're soo patient with opening your packages despite being excited beforehand. I can never control my excitement. Haha!

Yessss do a makeup look with only the forever 21 makeup!!!
I'd love to see you try it all on!
Thanks for the review =) Looking forward for the first impression video
I'm seeing a lot of comments saying forever 21 is cheap but I see pretty good reviews for this store and I've never had problems
People think they are too good for inexpensive stuff. I think for a cheap store f21 is the best you are going to find with quality for the price. More than not I end up with something that is better quality than I expected.
Only some stuff is cheap bc idk about anyone else but a see through dress that's $40 isn't cheap to me.
+hairwithjazi yeah but they have a ton of clothes under five dollars in clearance, which is great for students, and the makeup is so inexpensive and great for short wear ! :)
Yay! I miss you doing these Open Box Reviews! Thanks Judy! Please do the full Forever21 make up first impression and tutorial. :)
I think these are overpriced, especially for what they are... Everything definitely looks better on their website! I think I'd rather buy NYX, maybelline, or Sonia Kashuk for the same price range. Thanks for the review :)
Please PLEASE REVIEW THE REST OF THE LOVE & BEAUTY LINE FROM FOREVER 21 THE CREAM BLUSHES!!!! GOSH THE CREAM BLUSHES!!!
Please try them on also, thanks.
Yeah.. not too helpful just seeing the swatches or them pulled out of the bag. Would like to see them tried on also.
Yes please do a full face review on the products!!
Make a total look with it it could be so fun
I am so glad you did this video. I would never buy this quality makeup knowing how they swatch and look on the skin. Thank you Judy!

Great review Judy!
You made up my mind... I certainly won't be purchasing anything from this line! You can get more for your money elsewhere! x
yes please make a video wearing the makeup all day. Thanks love your videos!
if they are made in Korea it makes sense why everything is so sheer because that's the style of make up for them
Forever 21 is a Korean company so they were probably making the makeup line to suit the trend over there. Most Korean people like keeping their skin very white and pale because that is the trend which might explain the foundations...haha and they like to keep their shadows and such very subtle. I'm sure they will expand their colors as they get reviews on their products. I hope this helps!! :)
packaging looks similar stylenanda's 3CE makeup line. please try that brand out too!
I would love to see you do a first impression video with the Forever 21 products! They don't seem all that great from the swatches but I'd love to see how they apply and look in the face. You're the best Judy!

Definitely try them on! The eyeshadows and lipsticks would look amazing on you!
Do a forever 21 face makeup review video!
OMG the forever 21 makeup wipes are so good! I used to use them all the time years ago and I couldnt believe how good they were
Priced high or is it me???
Kim Celine Goyena
I totally agree. The idea is good but the quality is lacking.
margie posada I don't mind shelling out crazy amounts of money for cosmetics, but based on the swatches of everything Judy had showed everything seemed to be extremely over priced. All I see is quantity over quality, not vice versa.
I was actually about to buy these products today and I'm very glad I watched this before I did! Definitely wouldn't have been worth the money. Thank you for doing this video (:
Can you try Victoria secret makeup
I really enjoy your reviews. They're the most helpful I've seen and you always do a great job about reviewing the products that reflect your viewership. Thank you!
please do a first impression on the blushes xx
Yes please!!!!!! I would love to see you do a review on the forever 21 makeup!!
We don't even have Forever21 here but for how cheap makeup is in the USA those seem expensive for the quality...
Yes, please do an all Forever 21 beauty products first impression! Thank you Judy 💖
for this stuff to be from forever 21, those prices are kind of high.
irk i was expecting around the 3-5 dollar range and this is like the 7-14 dollar range
***** thats true but i mean new brand and its forever 21 so you really don't expect that
zuzanna lisek right ? its more expensive then ELF and elf seems to be a bit better then this line lol so far.
MissBabySquid it's more expensive than some of their CLOTHES. that's where i'm having a hard time accepting these prices.
Monica Williams yeah thats true and their a new brand as well
You are 1 video away from 500!!! Wow, that is such an accomplishment. I love your videos.
I was wondering if you could do a first impression or review on the Physician Formula Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin CC Cream.
Thank You!
Your make up looks radiant and beautiful here!
Is the Caillou song playing in the background??
You're almost at a million :)
Thank you for the first impression :) love the honesty
f21's founder is korean thats why the makeup was made in korea. also probably why the medium was so light lol
I love you Judy!! You're the best out there in the beauty world!
Yes please first impression
Yea, after you mentioned that the packaging stated that it was "made in korea" the first thing I thought about was "Stylenanda's 3CE" cosmetics line. Their makeup packaging is so exact lol
I like the other forever 21 lipsticks and lipglosses that retail about $3.80. They are much better quality than his"new" line
I tried the Forever 21 "Velvet Lipgloss" and it actually works pretty well. It kind of works as a lip stain also but after you apply it, it dries up so theres no shine to it but so far I like it
please make that video! love youu xxx (:
I would love to see a first impressions video of this make up Judy! Thanks :)
I wonder what the light shade look like o_O
ikr and i thought i was pasty white
I wold definitely like to see a full demo and review of the foundation. I'm really pale so it might workout very well, shade-wise, for me. Love the video!
do a first impressions :)
Yes, please do a first impression! I would love to see how these products last throughout the day. Since they're from Forever 21, I already have an idea but I would still love to see a vid since you do first impressions so well. I want that bag though for my other make up products, lol!
Thanks, you have saved me soooo much money
Yes please! I would love to see do a review with a full face look with these products. Dulce candy made it look like the products were really good. I'd like to hear your thoughts on them before I go out and buy some lol
I hope your going to return the items!
Hay judy!!!! I really feel like i have a connection to you and your family as wierd as that sounds. Every morning i put you guys on and sing "its judys life, Good Morning" and my boyfriend goes "oh here we go" lol. But id love if you and benji could do a segment in relationships, like how to keep it healthy and going strong. Like how to have healthy space and how to keep one and other. I admire your relationship i do :)
I guess they think by putting the word premium in front of their products that warrants it being over priced...smdh
Please do a first impression of the face makeup!!! Almost at 1 million Judy!!
If that's medium; fair must be white! ahaha
hahaha hilarious
I love ur honesty of every review and even if I'm Korean I'm not gonna be bias about it.....and in the Korean culture women like their skin to be very light so that's probably why the face powder and foundations look lighter so definitely go darker than normal :)
From your review, its seems like they missed the mark in most categories. They act like they're trying to compete with Revlon or Covergirl but the quality is typical of forever 21.
Yes! A first impression on these Forever21 make ups please
I feel like anything from forever 21 is cheap quality and I'm surprised that they actually have decent make up!
Stephanie Bailon have you tried their matte lip gloss? I I've been thinking of getting a dark red, I'm not sure if is worth it.
Am I the only one that likes the background music from this video, because it yells out "spring". It puts me in a good mood :)
oh maybe you dont know. but the person who started out F21 is korean and a christian. so if oyu ever wonder why F21 has crosses on a lot of their designs even before other clothing companies started doing it as a fashion statement, that is why.
you should go to the store or return the face makeup and exchange for tan
Yes please do a first impression review on all the forever 21 products!
Well as someone who is a NC55 in mac this is absolutely pointless for me xD
The green eyeshadow looks pretty
I would never buy makeup from these clothing stores, notice how they never list the ingredients on the packaging? Who knows what's in it & if they test on animals in which I bet they do.
Forever 21 also got an issue brought up last year with their "faux fur" winter coats, because they were not, in fact, faux fur, but Chinese Raccoon Dog fur. The process of skinning those poor animals is horrific!!
I totally agree! It freaks me out that they don't list the ingredients. The website claims that the makeup line is "not tested on animals". Otherwise they also mention that the makeup contains "high-end ingredients"... whatever that means.
Yes please, all Forever 21 look. Be curious to see how they hold up and whether or not the foundation would stay matte. Thanks.
Theres something so cheap about a clothing store having their own makeup line
Yessss!!! Do a first impression using the products, im curious ova hea!!!
The products seem very mediocre. I wouldn't even consider Forever 21 makeup. The bag was cute, but nothing stood out about the makeup. Thx for the review!
I just bought ur palette it is amazing ! Nice work Judy !
wow...this makeup is very overpriced for the crap that it is. Thanks for a great and honest review!
Do a full face makeup tutorial with the products in melody, they might fit her skin tone a bit better! Love you videos and family x
Just because of the quality and the store that this came from, I'm going to assume that a lot of this line is targeted toward younger girls wanting to experiment with "better" makeup. These look like makeups that kids start learning with before they move up. :/
