I don’t need to explain myself but i’m going to since no one seems to pay attention. I put jeffree star in “Y’all know her” because of what the category means. It means YALL use her but i don’t. Why would i rank a brand as iconic or outside of that if i don’t even have personal opinions on it? It’s a brand that everyone uses and loves but i don’t. So it’s in Y’all know her. If you wanna do your OWN PERSONALIZED rankings the link is in the description. Thanks
Also can you explain why bareminerals is trash? I'm going through a retinol and acid regime for my acne scars. My esty recommended bareminerals bc liquids won't work for me right now. Can you recommend a powder foundation for really sensitive skin? I appreciate you!
@@smeeisme4429 i used to have cystic acne and would not recommend using bare minerals. You should look into something more natural. I actually stopped wearing foundation all together and dont use concealer or any makeup for that matter that has mineral oil. That will make ur breakouts worse. I liked the mineral powdee foundation from a brand calles root pretty. Just search that on ig good luck
I didnt mind the Big ego Mascara she was cute, even though i got it in the sample size lmao but I have the shape tape and dont really like it kinda makes my skin look greasy...
Danny snyder I really like this concealer , it smell so much like cheap grandma perfume to me. I don’t know if I got a bad one or if other people smell it too. I can’t use it it burns my eyes.

A week ago, my mom had a massive hemorragic stroke. She was in the hospital for a week, but never came out of a deep coma. 2 days ago, the Drs removed her from life support...and I watched my world die. I had stayed by her side day & night...we lived together, so I couldn't imagine doing anything else. She shared my love of makeup, I guess I should say I got it from her. Even though she wasn't up on the latest trends, I'd show her things I was trying or give her something I thought would work for her. The last tip I gave her, was actually from you. When you used the CP blush stick, warmed it on your hand, then applied with a damp sponge. I'd told her I wanted to get the things so she could try that, I thought it'd look pretty on her. Sorry for the rambling, but basically I just wanted to thank you for this vid. I was sitting here at 3 a.m., trying to convince myself to eat dinner. I haven't been able to focus enough to watch much. But I saw your vid, it looked lighthearted & I figured I'd try to eat & watch. Thank you for 20 minutes of not thinking, & not hurting quite as intense. It was a nice break...you're appreciated. ❤
i am so sorry. my thoughts are with you. my mom has been in ICU for 2 weeks, and...yeah. i feel you. seriously, i hope you heal, and that time you spent together meant the world to both of you. ❤️
Urban decay are OG's and used to come out with insane palettes with gorgeous packaging and now they just keep rehashing naked over and over and over i havent seen anything that interesting from them in years.
YASSSS!!! I totally agree with the not giving enough promo or “shine” to beauty gurus though. Kathleen Lights’s So Jared palette is EVERYTHING and I feel like no one talks about it!!!!
But watch Amrezy pallet get a bunch of shine just cause it’s her best friend ! I guarantee it . Love abh but they did the last few influencer Collabs dirty .
Kate Dillon I thought I was going crazy! Bummer though, I would have loved to hear why Thomas placed them there. Melt is one of my all time favorite brands, so it would have been interesting to hear his thoughts.
My problem with NARS and the iconic ranking is that they so often repackage and repromote the SAME products over and over and over again and make it limited edition. I want something new
Victoria Stargle I agree, but damn, they have some good ass products. It’s a shame theyre not more innovative, they could be top if they were. They need to do their own thing and release some cool, new products. I think they have lovely quality and aren’t gimmicky.
KvD is trash for me - the standard has been steadily slipping for a while. Some of it used to be good but it’s been a long time... Huda’s in the trash too. All her products smell SO bad, and her palettes are really overpriced for the quality.
I feel Fenty is too new to be “iconic”. Yes, they’ve made history with the shade range. But,they have room to grow & some of their products are misses & were/are only talked about because of the hype. So, to me, they’d be “lendendaric”. Edit: KVD should’ve went in the trash with smallpox & tuberculosis. It should’ve been “meh” because they have some bomb-ass brushes.
Disagree respectfully about Fenty but def agree about KVD, esp since Kat is a racist, as well. Idk why he didn't put that brand in the trash :( (though she's left the company in FULL now so. No royalties or anything.)
Fenty isn’t the first company to have a large shade range, it’s just the first to market it. Estee Lauder has a WAY bigger shade range and mac has a large shade range Fenty’s highlighters are too glittery for my liking and her eyeshadows are kinda meh
I love JSC, but y'all know her is kind of appropriate. It's a brand that divides people. So I get it. Wet n wild goes into meh for me. After the bs with their cruelty free status and they still market themselves as cruelty free, I dont vibe with them anymore. Also, I think you just sold me on the lilac palette... fffffffff.
@@lizetriquelme people are saying they can market themselves as cruelty free because you're not required to test on animals if you make the makeup in China but they're subject to post market testing so it's not cruelty free. I believe leaping bunny and cruelty free kitty have removed wet n wild from their approved cruelty free lists.
To be honest the likelihood the wet n wild products will be subject to post market testing is probably less than 0.1 percent. The video where they claimed products are routinely tested post market is very misleading. Testing is costly and most importantly political. PRC uses testing as am excuse to protect the citizen from potentially dangerous foreign cosmetics. They will not admit that a product made there is potentially dangerous and needs to be tested. Thrre
It truly saddens me that Carli Bybel didn’t get her time to shine with her ABH collaboration palette. I absolutely adore her, she’s not a sell out like other huge beauty influencers, and ABH literally just were like “hey, buy our new Carli Bybel palette !😀 “ NEXT. 😠 Same with Jackie, although I’m not a fan of hers... she deserved that moment. Anyways, I agree with you’re whole list. When you said “meh, trash, legendary etc” I’d say it at the same time 😂
MAC not being in Iconic is very telling of Thomas. MAC was one of the first brands to have more inclusive marketing and definitely paved the way for artists.
MAC is a has been. If he had done this video 10 years ago, MAC I am sure would have been in one of the top categories. They have definitely lost their shine.
I think it more so just shows his age. We know Mac’s always going to be iconic. I remember being in 8th grade and I thought I was SO cool, because I finally bought this Mac eyeliner haha. Def iconic
My take on NYX: I own a glitter liner from them and it literally says “don’t use near eyes”??? MAAM WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO USE IT THEN? of course i wouldn’t have bought it if i read properly, but since i did buy it i decided to test it and.. yeah no, don’t put that near your eyes because i bet hand soap is better for the eyes than that shit. got it in my eye and cried. 10/10 would recommend if you wanna go blind xoxo
Jaq that shit burns I don’t know what the fuck is in their liquid/cream glitter products. I remember Thomas used like a cream foil glitter from them and he had the same reaction to them that I did to the glitter liner 😂
Do you mean the comedogenic scale? Like acne-causing? Carcinogenic is cancer causing and...while I’ve only done air toxics assessments using it, it would be complicated to use the WOE standard to determine that in a video 😳 usually each individual chemical is weighted so then calculating a mixture is like 🤯🤯
I agree with all of your list apart from 1, Jeffree Star should be iconic, hear me out... His liquid lipsticks really were the best when they first came out and he was the first to come up with the shades he picked. For changing the liquid lipstick game he should be in the iconic section. My opinion
I think as well that he was a big influence on helping people break out of their color rut and dare to wear unusual quality shades with pride. On an influential note, I think he made a big splash on guys wearing makeup in their everyday life as well as having his own brand and it is growing more and more. I would defiantly put him higher.
I do like him for putting out something different and doing what he likes Instead of following every other brand. All of his products aren't for everybody but what brand is.
One brand that I feel sorry for bc everybody has forgotten about it is Max Factor. They still have good products, but I never see international youtubers use them. I mean they were the brand that started the whole makeup industry with their "rival" Elizabeth Arden and they put the word contour on the map when they first introduced the product for film makeup and made so many innovative and revolutionary products. They deserve massive respect for what they've done for this whole industry, together with Elizabeth Arden, and their role in the history of makeup.
Agree, and their False Lash Effect Mascara is honestly iconic. I have been using it for years now (without false lashes) and everyone asks me what mascara I am using. Is the best mascara for real.
I think they forgot that Max Factor even has their own museum to show to the world how their products stood the test of time, and was used by different iconic celebrities including Marilyn Monroe
Love this concept! Great job, Thomas. I would like to see you use this tier thing for all products within one specific brand, or for comparing eyeshadow palettes, foundations, etc. Have a good day 💕
Fun fact: Urban Decay was founded by one of the co founders of the networking hardware company Cisco Systems. :) I use both Cisco hardware (Cisco Meraki MX64 firewall and Ms220-8P switch) and Urban decay makeup.. LOL
I feel like Morphe went from Iconic to Trash in the past 4 years. Their palettes used to excite me and now they don’t. They’re boring. ANYWAYS, I appreciate your honest 😘💛
MAC is iconic for me. As a young teenager I made huge wishlists for their limited edition collections but I could never buy anything. MAC was the first brand I bought when I started to earn money. And actually nowadays most of my collection is still MAC :p I just love the look and quality of the products and I mostly shop in airports 🙈 other than that I agree with most of your list!!
How is Melt Cosmetics in Meh? I don’t even think you mentioned why you placed them there. They actually put a lot of thought into their collections and their products are actually high quality.
totally agree with you about NYX products! the amount of silicone they use in the green color correcting primer broke me out ENTIRELY. I had textured skin for weeks until I stopped using it :(
You know. I'm pausing here. At 5:17. A strong, long-term jeffree star fan. Who 110% agrees with you putting his brand in "you know her." Everyone raves JSC. But every single time I buy anything from his brand, I end up giving it away because it just doesn't work on / for me. I love Jeffree. And his products are stunning, but they don't work for me. Even his pallets, no shade. I'd rather build my own on CP. Just my opinion. People need to stop being so meh with you about jeffree. Seriously. It's been a year. Move on ladies. 😹 Also CP is absolutely iconic. 90% of my makeup collection is CP. Everytime I clean out my makeup bins I can't throw away any of the CP. 😹 So glad to see you posting more Thomas! You're one of my favorite channels. 💕
Rissa Marie I have a contrasting opinion- everything I’ve bought from JSC has worked for me really well. I haven’t bought anything really out there though, just liquid lipsticks. However- I respect your opinion just like I respect Thomas’. I have no idea why people are still harping on Thomas... everyone has different faces with different skin tones and types. Do therefore everyone is going to have varying opinions.
I passed them on because I preferred my other, significantly cheaper products. I've tried eyeshadow palettes, lippies, concealer and powder. They were all, just okay. I found myself not reaching for them. So I gifted them to others. Never said they were bad. I'm just a colourpop girl! 😹
Right? These are HIS opinions on these brands. I actually love JSC liquid lipsticks, but his skin frosts and some of the matte eyeshadows in his palettes just don’t work out for me. I haven’t tried everything from his brand either, but yeah, I’m more of a fan of him and not necessarily his product. I’m not a hardcore stan either Lol.
You do not understand how much i missed your videos!! im so happy that your uploading more! no pressure always do whats best for your but you have been missed!
One of my FAVORITE VIDEOS of yours!! U had it spot on for the most part (in my opinion, lol) except for 2 or 3 brands. U definitely should do more videos like this!! A big 👍🏻thumbs👍🏻 up from meee!!! Nice job Thomas😃
Okay, I'll agree with all but Loreal simply because I remember being 10 and mesmerized with the amount of foundation shades they had. Not to say they're god tier drugstore, but they were doing more than everyone else at the time and I feel like she deserves iconic status for being there at a good price.
Thomas, I worked in drug stores 100 years ago for 100 years and Maybelline and Cover Girl were trash. Back before the internet ( yes I am 100 years old ) we were called “Cosmeticians” and we got what were called PM checks for recommending certain brands and they were upwards of $1000.00 each month. That was a lot back then ( late 70’s, early 80s ). We pushed L’Oréal and Max Factor, to name a couple because they paid the most. Thank you for reading your daily history lesson.
Not gonna argue about the placement of the brands but why is no one bringing up that legendary is a step above iconic? A legend is obviously greater than an icon. A legend lives on, an icon is cute for its time.
I don’t understand why everyone like urban decay. I’ve never had a single product that’s actually worked well. It’s so overpriced and the most boring brand ever imo 😭
I liked this video! I wouldn’t mind seeing more videos every once in a while like it, where you rank different products from one brand. Also like that you kept it real, you didn’t throw any influencers’ brands down unless you really just weren’t interested in the products
Revlon has like nothing for a very long time but a couple of months ago they released an eyeliner called So Vinyl the black shade is called Midnight Mystery.The formula and the way it holds up in the waterline is amazing for drugstore.I have been using it since it released and I'm extremely picky when it comes to eyeliner so it shocked me. It is comparable to Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner in Blaquer but just as nice and cheaper.Try it out I think you'll like it.They also released a Fetish Mascara which is decent as well but both products are a definitely a different vibe for their brand. I actually heard about the mascara on Laura Lee's channel which was random and she was surprised at how good the mascara was so I decided to check it out and found the liner which is better than the mascara and the real gem.
The most important part of all that is that she will no longer receive any royalties or compensation from any sales from the brand. I will be trying products when the rebrand is complete.
Yes do a series, love all this new content and ground breaking for your channel and it really different from what usual release in the beauty industry and I hope to see you more in 2020 and congratz again to hit 500k
Love, this is all your opinion and we can't really knock you for it. You wear what you wear and love what you love..I'm here to support you I definitely do not agree with you on a few of these but I also don't use a lot of mainstream products outside foundation...I will still sit and watch all you posts 💜💜
the revlon candid foundation is actually pretty bomb and the shades are good for drugstore but could be better. i do enjoy too faced products and it'll be hard to let them go, but transphobia??? in my enby house??? nah.
@@rybear8358 I bought their natural face palette and it's actually quite nice 🤷🏻♂️ I mean it's nothing special, I could probably find a dupe in the drugstore easily but I do really like it 👀 haven't tried anything else from them, and definitely won't in the future
This video was great! I would definitely love to see more like this. Products form brands would be great! Not UA-cam hype ranked but actual ranked. Shape tape concealer & Born This Way foundation literally everybody online swears by...I hated them both...so yea...a real truth ranking on products...YES PLEASE.
NARS would be Iconic for me but when they went from branding themselves as a brand that cares to one selling out to the Chinese market that Animal tests I would not have them in Iconic but they have made great products.
Is Colour Pop Nude Mood & Blush Crush new? I looks so pretty! I’d like to buy it but I need to purge or use up the mountain of stuff I’ve already got though.
this is the kind of video that made the public fall in love with your beautiful face....only better! you sassy, but classy!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE Edit: this was a super cool new and creative video idea. You gave credit to your inspiration. I watched your last video Thomas, and I don’t know if it’s the mom in me, but I just really feel like you’re misunderstood sometimes. (Trust I don’t say that very often) And I really hope that 2020 is your year to kill it. 💙💙💙
Loved the video and your opinions are on point! Would love to see another tiered video, esp per brand’s products, and also a review on the Tati Blendiful!
Melt got disrespected. Born this way foundation is a good foundation and the concealers are good. The owners are PROBLEMATIC. Colourpop should be way lower.
I personally love hourglass because their releases are well thought out and every product that comes out is released with intent, but I do agree with most of your calls
I don’t need to explain myself but i’m going to since no one seems to pay attention. I put jeffree star in “Y’all know her” because of what the category means. It means YALL use her but i don’t.

Also can you explain why bareminerals is trash? I'm going through a retinol and acid regime for my acne scars. My esty recommended bareminerals bc liquids won't work for me right now. Can you recommend a powder foundation for really sensitive skin? I appreciate you!

yay4ea Mineral oil isn’t bad for your skin. Anyone can be sensitive to ingredients, but mineral oil isn’t a bad ingredient.
Shape tape concealer honestly just carries the entire tarte brand on her back
honestly yeah,their blushes and that one bronzer are the only other things i like
I didnt mind the Big ego Mascara she was cute, even though i got it in the sample size lmao but I have the shape tape and dont really like it kinda makes my skin look greasy...
Danny snyder I really like this concealer , it smell so much like cheap grandma perfume to me. I don’t know if I got a bad one or if other people smell it too. I can’t use it it burns my eyes.
Ol girl probably tired asf
Danny snyder I second that.
Elf really went from a dollar store brand like L.A. Colors to a trailblazing drug store brand, and they’re still affordable.
i love elf so much
They really did. i love that you can still pick up a brush for $2 and it does the job.
Elf brushes are so underrated
B
Their sponges are literally the only thing I use to apply foundation and concealer. They work wonderfully and last a long time for just $5-6.
Would love a part two to this.

Most of the shades in jeffrees palettes among many others, arent "safe" for your eyes. And are considered pressed PIGMENT. It happens all the time.

Tati’s glitters aren’t recommended for use in the eye area. It’s weird.

YES!!
Oooooo yes!!!
Do you mean the comedogenic scale? Like acne-causing? Carcinogenic is cancer causing and...while I’ve only done air toxics assessments using it, it would be complicated to use the WOE standard to determine that in a video 😳 usually each individual chemical is weighted so then calculating a mixture is like 🤯🤯
@@paprikashaker nah he's calling certain brands hella problematic that they're cancerous
yes!!!!
Color pop is so annoying with the amount of releases they have
Danielle Dodson bruh. they want to make something for everyone.
I agree with all of your list apart from 1, Jeffree Star should be iconic, hear me out... His liquid lipsticks really were the best when they first came out and he was the first to come up with the shades he picked. For changing the liquid lipstick game he should be in the iconic section. My opinion
I agree
Agreed.
Nah
I think as well that he was a big influence on helping people break out of their color rut and dare to wear unusual quality shades with pride. On an influential note, I think he made a big splash on guys wearing makeup in their everyday life as well as having his own brand and it is growing more and more. I would defiantly put him higher.
I do like him for putting out something different and doing what he likes Instead of following every other brand. All of his products aren't for everybody but what brand is.
One brand that I feel sorry for bc everybody has forgotten about it is Max Factor. They still have good products, but I never see international youtubers use them. I mean they were the brand that started the whole makeup industry with their "rival" Elizabeth Arden and they put the word contour on the map when they first introduced the product for film makeup and made so many innovative and revolutionary products. They deserve massive respect for what they've done for this whole industry, together with Elizabeth Arden, and their role in the history of makeup.
Yeah they are in my Cosmetology book!!
Agree, and their False Lash Effect Mascara is honestly iconic. I have been using it for years now (without false lashes) and everyone asks me what mascara I am using. Is the best mascara for real.
Omg I haven't heard the name "Max Factor" in yeeeeears
I haven't seen MF sold anywhere in ages. :(
I think they forgot that Max Factor even has their own museum to show to the world how their products stood the test of time, and was used by different iconic celebrities including Marilyn Monroe
The cow staring off in the ocean is a WHOLE MOOD
Love this concept! Great job, Thomas. I would like to see you use this tier thing for all products within one specific brand, or for comparing eyeshadow palettes, foundations, etc. Have a good day 💕
Too faced is really trash, I bought a palette once years ago and it had NO pigment. Never tried them again. Plus yeah screw them.
Fun fact: Urban Decay was founded by one of the co founders of the networking hardware company Cisco Systems. :) I use both Cisco hardware (Cisco Meraki MX64 firewall and Ms220-8P switch) and Urban decay makeup.. LOL
Love this fun fact given I work in Tech and use UD products ;)
@@Ms10010 nice.. what's your home network setup
Boi ya gotta try more hourglass, I've never seen them come out with something that was badly reviewed
Gabs Brown Agreeeee, Hourglass is my ride or die, the only product that was a bit of a fail was the Vanish Liquid Foundation!
Those holiday palettes only cater to light skin tones and they refuse to fix it....
THAT PURPLE EYESHADOW AHHH
Y’all know her : Kylie Jenner cosmetics
I would out her in "meh"
I feel like Morphe went from Iconic to Trash in the past 4 years. Their palettes used to excite me and now they don’t. They’re boring. ANYWAYS, I appreciate your honest 😘💛
Very excited you have a colourpop code! An influencer and a brand I can get behind!
LOVE! Do this again, but with brands that you’ve never heard of or indie brands. And test like tons of their makeup. I would love that!
MAC is iconic for me. As a young teenager I made huge wishlists for their limited edition collections but I could never buy anything. MAC was the first brand I bought when I started to earn money. And actually nowadays most of my collection is still MAC :p I just love the look and quality of the products and I mostly shop in airports 🙈 other than that I agree with most of your list!!
L G I have a PG allergy and I can use a surprising amount of their products.
“Legendaric” ? You know there’s a real word for this right?? 😂 LEGENDARY
The bare minerals one hurt, since they were my first experience with makeup, and I love them so much 😩
Phoenix Faytes it’s like the only brand I’m not allergic to. PG allergies suck
same! My concealer and cleanser are from them and I haven’t broken out from their products so I like them
This is hilarious. Even if we don’t necessarily agree on EVERYTHING I appreciate the COM👏🏻E👏🏻DY👏🏻 periot
How is Melt Cosmetics in Meh? I don’t even think you mentioned why you placed them there. They actually put a lot of thought into their collections and their products are actually high quality.
The mint collection and soft glam was released already from Colourpop for 2020
This video was pre-filmed.
I haven’t hollered bc of a video in a WHILE. We love this content and u
The thing I learned the most from this is how many brands use black & white coloring in their logos 🤣
Black and white or light pink
i feel like u jus started a trend and i cant wait to watch all of them
I'm living for this eye lewk 💜
Melissa Hopkins same! SMALL UA-camR HERE ❤️
totally agree with you about NYX products! the amount of silicone they use in the green color correcting primer broke me out ENTIRELY. I had textured skin for weeks until I stopped using it :(
I havent used MAC in a long time, but they were the ones that first did color, way before UD!! They used to be iconic, but now they're just meh.
you are by far the funniest beauty guru i’ve watched and i love you for that pls keep making videos don’t ever stop 😭😭😂
You know. I'm pausing here. At 5:17. A strong, long-term jeffree star fan.
Who 110% agrees with you putting his brand in "you know her."
Everyone raves JSC. But every single time I buy anything from his brand, I end up giving it away because it just doesn't work on / for me.
I love Jeffree. And his products are stunning, but they don't work for me.
Even his pallets, no shade. I'd rather build my own on CP.
Just my opinion.
People need to stop being so meh with you about jeffree. Seriously. It's been a year. Move on ladies. 😹
Also CP is absolutely iconic. 90% of my makeup collection is CP. Everytime I clean out my makeup bins I can't throw away any of the CP. 😹
So glad to see you posting more Thomas! You're one of my favorite channels. 💕
Rissa Marie I have a contrasting opinion- everything I’ve bought from JSC has worked for me really well. I haven’t bought anything really out there though, just liquid lipsticks. However- I respect your opinion just like I respect Thomas’. I have no idea why people are still harping on Thomas... everyone has different faces with different skin tones and types. Do therefore everyone is going to have varying opinions.
same JSC has worked for me. no complaints here
I passed them on because I preferred my other, significantly cheaper products.
I've tried eyeshadow palettes, lippies, concealer and powder.
They were all, just okay.
I found myself not reaching for them. So I gifted them to others.
Never said they were bad.
I'm just a colourpop girl! 😹
Right? These are HIS opinions on these brands. I actually love JSC liquid lipsticks, but his skin frosts and some of the matte eyeshadows in his palettes just don’t work out for me. I haven’t tried everything from his brand either, but yeah, I’m more of a fan of him and not necessarily his product. I’m not a hardcore stan either Lol.
I've been having issues with the concealer 😭 lol
I'm literally not even two minutes in and the editing has me in stitches. Glad to know I'm not the only meme trash in the beauty community lol
Just one edit- KVD is trash🖤
You do not understand how much i missed your videos!! im so happy that your uploading more! no pressure always do whats best for your but you have been missed!
One of my FAVORITE VIDEOS of yours!! U had it spot on for the most part (in my opinion, lol) except for 2 or 3 brands. U definitely should do more videos like this!! A big 👍🏻thumbs👍🏻 up from meee!!! Nice job Thomas😃
Okay, I'll agree with all but Loreal simply because I remember being 10 and mesmerized with the amount of foundation shades they had. Not to say they're god tier drugstore, but they were doing more than everyone else at the time and I feel like she deserves iconic status for being there at a good price.
Thomas, I worked in drug stores 100 years ago for 100 years and Maybelline and Cover Girl were trash. Back before the internet ( yes I am 100 years old ) we were called “Cosmeticians” and we got what were called PM checks for recommending certain brands and they were upwards of $1000.00 each month. That was a lot back then ( late 70’s, early 80s ). We pushed L’Oréal and Max Factor, to name a couple because they paid the most. Thank you for reading your daily history lesson.
Not gonna argue about the placement of the brands but why is no one bringing up that legendary is a step above iconic? A legend is obviously greater than an icon. A legend lives on, an icon is cute for its time.
I don’t understand why everyone like urban decay. I’ve never had a single product that’s actually worked well. It’s so overpriced and the most boring brand ever imo 😭
Becky 149 I don’t like UD either... last 3 products I’ve tried have been straight trash🤷🏻♀️
You are back! Better than ever love! I really adored adored this!
you forgot Kylie Cosmetics which i think you'd put in Yall Know Her
okay but ngl the ciaté london baked blush is THE MOST GORGEOUS BLUSH I HAVE EVER OWNED.
I liked this video! I wouldn’t mind seeing more videos every once in a while like it, where you rank different products from one brand. Also like that you kept it real, you didn’t throw any influencers’ brands down unless you really just weren’t interested in the products
Revlon has like nothing for a very long time but a couple of months ago they released an eyeliner called So Vinyl the black shade is called Midnight Mystery.The formula and the way it holds up in the waterline is amazing for drugstore.I have been using it since it released and I'm extremely picky when it comes to eyeliner so it shocked me. It is comparable to Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner in Blaquer but just as nice and cheaper.Try it out I think you'll like it.They also released a Fetish Mascara which is decent as well but both products are a definitely a different vibe for their brand. I actually heard about the mascara on Laura Lee's channel which was random and she was surprised at how good the mascara was so I decided to check it out and found the liner which is better than the mascara and the real gem.
Agree with like all of this. Are you going to buy more KVD with Kat leaving the company?
The most important part of all that is that she will no longer receive any royalties or compensation from any sales from the brand. I will be trying products when the rebrand is complete.
Buxom plumping lipglosses are BOMB 10/10 recommend!! Idk any of their other products so I agree with the meh 🤷♀️
“this video was sponsored by ur mom” I will always love your humor
Yes do a series, love all this new content and ground breaking for your channel and it really different from what usual release in the beauty industry and I hope to see you more in 2020 and congratz again to hit 500k
u need a category between “y’all know her” and meh lol
Love, this is all your opinion and we can't really knock you for it. You wear what you wear and love what you love..I'm here to support you I definitely do not agree with you on a few of these but I also don't use a lot of mainstream products outside foundation...I will still sit and watch all you posts 💜💜
the revlon candid foundation is actually pretty bomb and the shades are good for drugstore but could be better.
i do enjoy too faced products and it'll be hard to let them go, but transphobia??? in my enby house??? nah.
What does enby mean?
@@dirtyyrat A person who is non-binary; that is, a person whose gender identity is not strictly male nor female
The candid foundation is one of my favorites
Lmao too faced has trash products. Got a palette from them as a Christmas gift. Sucked. So patchy and hardly any pay off
@@rybear8358 I bought their natural face palette and it's actually quite nice 🤷🏻♂️ I mean it's nothing special, I could probably find a dupe in the drugstore easily but I do really like it 👀 haven't tried anything else from them, and definitely won't in the future
The quality of ur vid is incredibleee!!!!! Gurlll so proud of uuu❤️
A MIKE'S MIC STAN, THE TASTE
WE ARE THE RATSSSSSS
This video was great! I would definitely love to see more like this. Products form brands would be great! Not UA-cam hype ranked but actual ranked. Shape tape concealer & Born This Way foundation literally everybody online swears by...I hated them both...so yea...a real truth ranking on products...YES PLEASE.
NARS would be Iconic for me but when they went from branding themselves as a brand that cares to one selling out to the Chinese market that Animal tests I would not have them in Iconic but they have made great products.
oshifish2 I feel similarly. Their Climax mascara is my fav and I’m so sad they aren’t cruelty free.
no cap this was probably one of my favorite videos of yours it was super entertaining and funny i love it 🥺
I left Revlon when they started releasing $17 and it being just okay. I will say their new primers and Skin Lights line is catching my eye.
I swatched one of their liquid highlights today and it was so pretty
I love how he is so honest 💗💗
patiently waiting for the colourpop collab~ 🥺
Is Colour Pop Nude Mood & Blush Crush new? I looks so pretty! I’d like to buy it but
I need to purge or use up the mountain of stuff I’ve already got though.
THOMAS....U DIDNT MENTION YOUR REASON FOR MELT COSMETICS!!!!
this is the kind of video that made the public fall in love with your beautiful face....only better! you sassy, but classy!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE
Edit: this was a super cool new and creative video idea. You gave credit to your inspiration. I watched your last video Thomas, and I don’t know if it’s the mom in me, but I just really feel like you’re misunderstood sometimes. (Trust I don’t say that very often) And I really hope that 2020 is your year to kill it. 💙💙💙
had a snack watching this and started choking from laughing at you putting toofaced in trash
Loved the video and your opinions are on point! Would love to see another tiered video, esp per brand’s products, and also a review on the Tati Blendiful!
I agree. ABH released so many palettes back to back to back so I didn’t buy not one of them.
I remember when the original UD Naked palette was announced - the VALUE. It was like 62CDN for twelve shadows that sold for 19CDN each? Unheard of.
I hit the thumbs up when too faced went right in the trash
Before finishing tour video in my head I had positioned colourpop as iconic. Also, loved that you mentioned Maybeline
Melt got disrespected. Born this way foundation is a good foundation and the concealers are good. The owners are PROBLEMATIC. Colourpop should be way lower.
Right when he put colour pop in iconic i was like … um
I love the little maybelline city palettes, they're soo good!
The spongebob intro 😂😂
I personally love hourglass because their releases are well thought out and every product that comes out is released with intent, but I do agree with most of your calls
Like... yeah. Hourglass for me is my guilty pleasure. Was never dissapointed.
He put Melt in "meh"? What?? I love Melt.
Carina Johnson me too!
