Always so gorgeous! Can you do a look for mature hooded eyes? Something simple yet elegant? I have a wedding to go to and my blending skills are all over the place! I have extremely dry skin. Thank you Mel! ❤️😍😘
I’m sure Mel will get back to you, but I’m “mature” too and I’d like to share some of my favorites, if you don’t mind. First I got some of the Sonia G brushes and they made my blending and application So much better. Totally worth the investment. All of my products apply differently now. Second, for an easy one palette eye look, for a wedding or anything, try one of the Viseart Theory eye palettes. My favorite is Minx II. It has every color you need for a complete eye look. And I recommend using the deepest shade with a slant/eyebrow brush for eye liner. I do that for every eye look now because a pencil or liquid will get all weird if you have any wrinkles on your lids. The powder gives you definition, won’t smear, and will last all day. Especially if you tear up. Use Mel’s trick of setting your lid first with something like Shape Tape and you won’t even have to think about it during and after the ceremony. Congrats on the upcoming nuptuals! Be beautiful and have fun. 💚
The Mac neon palette reminds me of UD Electric palette. Please do an eye look using the green. It looks like a dupe of UD Freak which I love but never know how to wear it.
I needed to let u know I too don't like the beauty blender. I went out last night and bought the sonia kasuk sponge. It's amazing thank u 😘 I love how u don't go with everyone else's opinion
I just forced myself to pick up the too faced concealer again yesterday after weeks of loving the georgio Armani one and I gotta say... the too faced one is STILL amazing. I’m hooked again 😂
This eyeshadow look it's gorgeous..This has to be one of your top five looks that you have done..So many palettes, and makeup products. It's always hard to pick and choose..Thanks for sharing your views on these products 💖👍🏻
I love the Soleil Mini Pro 5 palette...so pretty and a nice intro to Viseart if you don't own any. I actually own all the Viseart Mini palettes. So travel friendly and beautiful shadows and shades. I love you recommend the Viseart! Score... I love your honesty..."it's a dud, an absolute dud" lol
I really appreciate that you do follow ups! And your eyeshadow tutorials are so easy to follow thank you! I did one of your looks with the Riviera pallette and it came out really good so thank you thank you and congrats on 100,000❤
I love watching you so much! I follow a few makeup artists but nobody does eyes like you...so incredibly gorgeous. I also think you have the most adorable personality!!! Thanks for making me smile 😃
Yayay!!! You got liaison! I love it!! Can’t wait for you to share more if you choose to show us... I bought Soleil and Coy too. Love hearing your updates and comparisons.
I'm obsessed with your eyelook. Your foundation looks very flawless.🙏 . I l❤️be that ABH Riviera palette. Surprised that it was limited edition. Thanks for your video.
Yay! Your sub count is up and you are getting all kinds of high end PR! So happy for you, Mel! You absolutely deserve to have millions of subscribers! You will someday!
I always appreciate your honesty when reviewing products. I bought the Apricotine palette after your video, and I love it. So thank you ever so much for giving me the inspiration to wear peachy coloured eyeshadows 💖.
Thank you for being the sunshine to start off my days. You’re the best ☀️! Love this video! I just got the Riviera palette and I’m so excited to play with it today! Have a wonderful day!
Thanks for the heads up on the viseart pallets! Was nervous to try them but I chose them over the Natasha Denona minis, I trust you, you have very detailed and honest reviewes, not to mention amazing talent! Congrats and on to many more followers, u deserve them!
Thank you for this video! I wasn’t sure if i wanted the viseart palettes or just Soleil and Daytime from ABH. Now I’m buying the viseart palettes. Thank you 🖤
Thank you for being someone who finally explains and gives an honest opinion on which is a more preferred palette, the reloaded or the sultry! I’ve been wanting to really know this. I have the sultry and love it! And I keep looking at the reloaded. But, both being so similar, I think I can wait or pass. I have also heard others say that Dreamweaver, though beautiful is chunky. Which that was one of the two colors that was calling me. I love the color cyborg and bloom, which are those colors in the sultry palette that are similar to the colors I was drawn to in the reloaded palette. Again thank you for the confirmation! 🤗💗💋💐👍🏼
I like your comparisons and if you like something else more still. I've been enjoying your videos so much! I always saw you comment on Samantha March's videos. Man, I should have subscribed sooner!!! Wayne Goss's video about you caused me to check out your channel and subscribe. So much good information you give and I love your voice, your look, and it's clear to see your talent. Ok, let me go watch more, lol
Love these update videos and especially how you compare palettes to each other to help us understand which one we might like best. So glad you still like the GA Power Fabric concealer because I was finally able to make it into a store yesterday to try out shades. I’ve been wanting to buy it ever since your initial reviews. I am so impressed by how little of the concealer I need to use for the coverage I want (over color corrector, but I always have to use that). When I use just a tiny bit, I get great coverage with no creasing and minimal settling into lines (let’s face it, the lines are there, and nothing is going to stay 100% out of them when I’m looking into a 10x mirror!). I bought the concealer in the late afternoon and so only had it on for five hours, but it didn’t budge or crease during that time even though I did not set it with any powder. That’s huge for me because even the most finely milled powders add at least some dry looking, crepey texture to my under eyes. Given my seriously purple hereditary under eye circles and inability to age in reverse, I cannot tell you how hard it is for me to find a concealer that conceals well without making my under eye area look older. Thank you!!!
Yes!!! I just got the riviera! I love it! You’re always right on point! Thank you ! Yay!!!! 108! Always thankful for your videos and tutorials! #kindnessisbeauty👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥰❤️😘🍀🍀🍀🍀🌺🌸happy St.Patricks day! You are my wake up makeup!
Yay! I just got the Liaison, and now I’m even more excited about it because you love it❣️ Those Mac palettes look like Morphe...and seem to work about as well too.😏
Yay! My morning coffee and Mel video... the perfect way to start my day!!! U look stunning as always 😍. Cant wait for your review on the new Natasha Dedona palette. I only trust you! Have a great day! Xoxoxoxo 😘
Just wanted to tell you that the Milk Hydro Grip Primer is in an ‘airless pump’ the way all cosmetics should come. Great video! I just got the Viseart Liason palette and I couldn’t agree with you more! And my fav color is the same light purple one that you love. Best purple shadow palette I’ve ever owned, the most expensive palette I’ve ever owned and worth every penny! But now I see I want a few more! Lol 😏 Hi, my name is Sandy and I’m a palette addict!!!
@@melthompson2856 I love that about you Mel so many youtubers just will tell you a palette is beautiful and follow my link and go purchase it and they haven't even used it once; except for when they are doing the video! You really make sure when you voice your opinion you tried the product out a few times also you wear what you purchase not everyone does they just hoard it.
I'm all over the place too LOL Miss me? I was on vacation with a couple of my UA-camr friends over the weekend! I picked up both those Mac lipsticks and a BUNCH of other stuff too! Love hearing about the Visearts because I got them for a GF for her birthday next week :D Love ya xoxo Mary
Haven't actually used that Glow Recipe mist, but testing it in Sephora... oh my gosh, it has the greatest fine mister! Might have to break down and purchase!
Thanks for your reviews and tips and picks......I appreciate you reviewing the newest releases in makeup! Thanks for all your hard work:) I love watching your videos!😘
Your eyes are seriously mesmerizing in this video I just love how you do eye makeup 😍 haven’t been able to watch all of your videos because I started a new 9-5 but I’m so happy whenever you post on weekends and I can click right away ♥️💕
I think I may end up picking up 1 or 2 of these new, small pan Viseart palettes. Apparently they now have a fantastic metallic formula. Yes! I have 4 of the Theory palettes & thought the shimmers were somewhat lacklustre or downright bad -cough Absinthe palette-cough. That Apricotine & Liason palette are definitely calling to me...
ChiChi Rush You should definitely try the GA concealer! I just bought it yesterday, and I am blown away by how smooth it looks on my dry, more mature under eye area. It’s super highly pigmented, and so you only need a couple of very small dots that you can just press into the rest of your under eye area. When I used only that tiny amount over my color corrector (I haven’t really dark circles), I got smooth and complete coverage that didn’t crease at all without having to set with powder. I started with too much product and thought it looked heavy and a bit creasy (doesn’t help that I have corrector under it, but my circles are crazy bad), and so removed it and tried again with way less product, and I am thrilled!
mortypickles ✨Ohhhh How Encouraging! 😎.. now I'm definitely picking up the GA Concealer 👏🏻😻👏🏻.. I tend to have dryer under eyes with purple-ish discoloration😬.. What color corrector do you prefer with the GA?.. I've been using BECCA Under Eye Brightening Corrector with MUFE HD Concealer, but am always LOOKING for that Perfect Combo!💖✨
Ski Couture Personally I have been liking the Bobbi Brown corrector that comes in the small round compact (not even sure if that’s what I should call it, but that’s the best my brain can do right now!). My skin tone is on the lighter side of medium, and I use it in Peach. I tried it in light peach, too, to see if I could get more brightening, but my purple is dark enough that I need the darker peach to get enough color correcting. In the past few years I have used both the old and the current Becca correctors, the Armani liquid, and the Algenist liquid (both the thicker corrector and the thinner corrector drops). I like the Bobbi Brown one best on me because it’s extremely pigmented, and I can use an extremely thin layer that I brush on very lightly with a dense, round concealer brush and then dab with my fingers and damp sponge if I use a bit too much. I am 49, and so my under eyes might be more crepey than yours, but I am often mistaken for being in my early 30s (no Botox or filler, just much gratitude to Mom, Dad, and sunscreen), and so I guess my wrinkles aren’t too bad, but while I liked Becca’s older correctors, the texture wasn’t great for me. I use an under eye primer now and didn’t before, and so that might be why, but I also think the consistency and pigmentation of the Bobbi Brown allows me to use less product. The Becca brightening one wasn’t nearly enough correcting for me, and I had a similar issue with the texture. With the liquids, I have used two different under eye primers, the Becca one that Mel uses and Volition’s AM/PM Helix. Both are excellent, but I prefer the Volition one because I find it to be more hydrating and smoothing. It might have silicones in it, but I don’t know. Just wanted to mention that it feels like it might in case that’s an issue for you. The Volition says it can also be used as your evening eye cream, hence the name AM/PM, but I got milia when I did that. Anyway, I get a smoother look with the Volition than I do with the Becca, and so, for my specific needs, the Volition is better. Back to the correctors: I was having my makeup done at Sephora, and when I asked the MUA to grab either the GA or the Algenist liquid corrector for under concealer, he convinced me to let him use the Bobbi Brown. He used what he called a “tickle” of it with one of the Sephora Pro Airbrush concealing brushes, and I was very pleased with the result and have been using it for over a year now. I tried both the GA and the Bobbi Brown under the GA concealer when I was testing out shades, and I thought the BB gave me a better look, both in terms of correction and texture. Hope that helps!
mortypickles ✨💎You are Such a GEM..💙.. Thank you for your Great Suggestions n Tips!..🙏🏻Will for sure, check out BB's Corrector.. I've currently been using a light application of Tatcha Silk Canvas Primer under my Eyes n on the lids, I've found warming it up between my fingers with a Light touch works nicely for me..😻..Thank you again, I appreciate you!💎✨
Your eye look is freaking gorgeous! I recently ordered the Too Faced concealer and wish I would have went with the Armani. I may end up returning it. Really helpful video:)) Thanks, lovely🍃🌸.
Those Viseart palettes are just grande! I'm so pleased with them. I'm also really enjoying the giorgio armani concealer as well. Thanks so much for your thoughts!
I love your videos and value your opinion so much... you are always spot on and never fail me! Have you ever done a "this or that" video? For example I am having a hard time deciding between Hula and Charlotte Tilbury contour wand. A live Q&A would be so amazing.
Good morning. Yeah a Sunday video! Really enjoy seeing what you are gravitating to. I wonder if the GA concealer is to dry for my under eyes. I’m going to check that out. You look absolutely gorgeous as always! I do like me some viseart shadows. Thanks for the comparisons. Have a beautiful day sweet girl. Love from Texas!💕
You make me get excited about makeup!!! Mel if I’m a Mac nc25 which cream bronzer would you go with? Chanel tan de soleil, Tom ford shade and illuminate 01, or Nars liquid Latina bronzer? Thank you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wait till you spray that watermelon face spray.....its so cool! And it's....foggy?. I know that sounds odd but omg I love it, its so different! Also, the milk primer is in an "airless pump", I wish all products came this way. Its the best way to actually get ALL the product out without wasting any
The color of your shirt looks so beautiful on you! I love haul updates. They’re very helpful, especially the way you do them. The link for Smith and Cult foundation takes me to ELF’s concealer. I tried the other link (what’s on my face) that does the same
Once again I loved your video. It's so helpful to update us as far as the new products you test and that's why I come to your channel for an honest rounded up opinion on makeup. One little request please. I'd like to see an update on the new Armani power fabric balm foundation because it looked really interesting. Love as always xxx
Good video. Dior will be coming out with 2 new Luminizers for summer; one gold and one bronze. I’m very curious to see those. The Dior rep at Nordstrom yesterday told me it’s on their calendar for around April 11. Thanks for the video. Happy Sunday! 💚
I am so very glad Wayne Goss recommended you. I have loved your videos and you've quickly become my favorite! !

Beautiful eye look Mel! Lookin flawless!
Thank you!
Completely agree about Mac Art vs. Anastasia. The Anastasia is definitely more wearable. It's a more adult/refined version of a colorful palette.
Yes yes yes LOVE! I GOTTA GET ME SOME NOW. You're such an inspiration to me
Love the colour of your sweater, so flattering.

He used what he called a “tickle” of it with one of the Sephora Pro Airbrush concealing brushes, and I was very pleased with the result and have been using it for over a year now. I tried both the GA and the Bobbi Brown under the GA concealer when I was testing out shades, and I thought the BB gave me a better look, both in terms of correction and texture. Hope that helps!
mortypickles ✨💎You are Such a GEM..💙.. Thank you for your Great Suggestions n Tips!..🙏🏻Will for sure, check out BB's Corrector.. I've currently been using a light application of Tatcha Silk Canvas Primer under my Eyes n on the lids, I've found warming it up between my fingers with a Light touch works nicely for me..😻..Thank you again, I appreciate you!💎✨
congratulations on 100k+. well deserved. i always enjoy update videos xx
Thank you so much!
Your eye look is freaking gorgeous! I recently ordered the Too Faced concealer and wish I would have went with the Armani. I may end up returning it. Really helpful video:))
Thanks, lovely🍃🌸.
I love the milk primer! The foundation does grip to it. Love your eye look!
Those Viseart palettes are just grande! I'm so pleased with them. I'm also really enjoying the giorgio armani concealer as well. Thanks so much for your thoughts!
Yes! Love them so much!!!!
Wow, this bronze eye look is awesome.
Those 3 viseart palettes are immediately going on my wishlist!!
I love your videos and value your opinion so much... you are always spot on and never fail me! Have you ever done a "this or that" video? For example I am having a hard time deciding between Hula and Charlotte Tilbury contour wand. A live Q&A would be so amazing.
Thank you for the suggestion!!! I’ll see what I can come up with ❤️❤️❤️
I loooove these update videos
I bought the Apricotine palette and I LOVE it. 😍
Good morning. Yeah a Sunday video! Really enjoy seeing what you are gravitating to. I wonder if the GA concealer is to dry for my under eyes. I’m going to check that out. You look absolutely gorgeous as always! I do like me some viseart shadows. Thanks for the comparisons. Have a beautiful day sweet girl. Love from Texas!💕
❤️❤️❤️❤️
You make me get excited about makeup!!! Mel if I’m a Mac nc25 which cream bronzer would you go with? Chanel tan de soleil, Tom ford shade and illuminate 01, or Nars liquid Latina bronzer? Thank you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Chanel will work but be light on you, more natural. Tom ford looks more like a contour but great product. Haven’t used the nars 😭
Mel Thompson 🤗🥰
Wait till you spray that watermelon face spray.....its so cool! And it's....foggy?. I know that sounds odd but omg I love it, its so different! Also, the milk primer is in an "airless pump", I wish all products came this way. Its the best way to actually get ALL the product out without wasting any
Omg, I’ve tried it and it’s the bees knees!
You always look so gorgeous. I love your videos and really enjoy starting my mornings with you! Totally trust and respect your opinion! 💖
Thank you so much! That means a lot!
The color of your shirt looks so beautiful on you!
I love haul updates. They’re very helpful, especially the way you do them.
The link for Smith and Cult foundation takes me to ELF’s concealer.
I tried the other link (what’s on my face) that does the same
That’s weird... I’ll try to fix it
Once again I loved your video. It's so helpful to update us as far as the new products you test and that's why I come to your channel for an honest rounded up opinion on makeup. One little request please. I'd like to see an update on the new Armani power fabric balm foundation because it looked really interesting. Love as always xxx
I still like that one but I don’t reach for it. I think I may more so in the summer time ❤️
Good video. Dior will be coming out with 2 new Luminizers for summer; one gold and one bronze. I’m very curious to see those. The Dior rep at Nordstrom yesterday told me it’s on their calendar for around April 11. Thanks for the video. Happy Sunday! 💚
all those palettes are so pretty
I love your makeup update videos!
Could you please do an eye look with the Viseart Liasion palette.❤️
Such a helpful video, thank you for sharing your thoughts. Love your look❤️
Love these videos- thanks Mel!
I looooove updatessss ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Will you review the natasha denona biba palette? 🤩🤩
