    Just an FYI in case people out there don’t know, most ColourPop palettes can be depotted because the pans are held in the cardboard magnetically.
    That way, you can put them in a custom palette of your own making, mix-and-match shades, or “dupe” high end palettes if that’s your thing 😊

      I have to admit that if I'm going to spend the $$$$ to get my makeup professionally applied ( which I would totally be willing to do) I would want high end products to be used. I love drugstore and luxury makeup but if I'm paying for the service I would want more luxurious products to enhance the experience.

    I would LOVE to see someone do a foundation test by having another person put the various foundations in generic jars that are all the same. Use high end, low end..all of it. Number the jars so it’s truly a blind test and then try them and tell us the top five or so. And since they’re numbered it would be a surprise to us (and to you too0 when the big reveal happened.

But there are some videos comparing different products with blind test, by scientist, where they guess the price tag on UA-cam (spoiler alert : they guess right which is more expensive 95% of the time )

    Having recently got a job where I can now afford to indulge in luxury products- I really enjoy them. The experience of opening up lovely packaging, the cases of the makeup being beautiful. The texture of the makeup, skin friendly ingredients, feel, lasting power- all this makes a lot of luxury makeup worth it for me. Ive been enjoying the gucci eyeshadow and cream blush quad in summerina brown- its a great product that you can do pretty much eyes, lips, cheeks and contour with. Thanks for the video Nikki.

    The Milani eyeshadow primer is my go-to. You may have used too much product. I only need a tiny dot for both eyes and it will cover the entire area from the brow all the way down the lid. I spread it with my finger since I use so little product. I have mature, very hooded eyes and with this primer my shadow never creases.

    I drop everything for your major comparison videos! I have 55yo combo oily skin and prefer "satin" finish products. This is challenging because everything is dewy, glowy, radiant, etc. And because of my mature textured skin, I avoid layering a lot of product.
    The powdery formula of NYX micro brow pencil works on my oily Tzone. The essence lash princess waterproof works on my short Asian lashes and holds the curl.

    The Lash Princess looks amazing if layered over L’Oréal Voluminous mascara! I have short, sparse lashes and the Lash Princess just doesn’t give any volume (I look like a lame spider)…so I discovered that by using the Voluminous first (2 Coates), it acts as a primer, then the LP as a topper (1 coat just before the L’Oréal sets). It elongates the already thickened lashes.
    Voluminous in Canada is cheap at Walmart ($10) and LP is $5.99 at Shoppers Drug Mart. $16 for 6 months supply 😂
    I’ve tried soooo many ridiculously expensive brands, hoping for a one shot deal but not a single one outshined the drugstore combo. I’ve now surrendered, only use the cheap combo and save my money for other, more worthy splurges 🙌💃🏼

    I think the biggest difference was the blush and highlight. Hourglass blush is nicer, I prefer more matte blush. But the colorpop highlighter was much smoother looking. The Neutrogena concealer is interesting because I go thru the Nars one so quickly that it's hard to justify the price.

    The Milani Eyeshadow Primer needs to sit on the eye for 30 seconds. It says that right on the packaging. Is a great Primer. But for hooded eyes, I'd recommend something less creamy with a faster dry down OR keep your eyes closed for the 30 seconds

    Hi. I think the drugstore side looks amazing, it looks so natural and healthy. Of course the luxury one looks great, the only thing I don't necessarily like as much is the blush on the luxury side. Seems too much for my taste.

I also found the color espresso was too warm, although I use the color espresso for the Lift and Snatch brow gel from Nyx. I like the packaging of the Lift and Snatch gel because it's a small wand in a squeeze tube, and it allows me to really get a lot of product on the wand which I then use in the way that you use the Elf Brow Wow.

    What an outstanding job you did Nikki 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 they are so similar! What a great match with the eyeshadows 🩷🩷🩷 I love that these types of videos and analysts you do offer everyone lower cost options. You definitely do not need to go 100% luxury 100% of the time. This was so fun to watch, as usual I just love YOU and your videos 🫶🏼🥰🙏🏼

    I've been using both the Neutrogena concealer and the Rimmel Powder Bronzer for about a year now...I love them both. The Rimmel is a staple, especially in the summer months here in Texas as it is waterproof!!! I also LOVE the Nars and Hourglass. Love them all!!!!

I have been using the Milani eye shadow primer for years and haven’t had an issue with creasing and I have lived in many different climates. I did notice that the high end products looked more pigmented on video but each side looked beautiful on its own. Thank you for sharing 💐

  • @ldel6069

    Naturally I am zooming in but over all it looks very similar, cohesive and beautiful. I guess I’m zig zagging here but I love the high end eye shadow, both under eyes but the Givenchy powder I think is what works with both. The drug store cheek Milani blush is lovely and sublime and the Chanel lip maybe the shade and sealer but it looks gorgeous. Fun video, thanks for sharing it.

    Hi Nikki! For drugstore brow pencils, I recommend the LA Girl shady slim brow pencil, it’s all I use, it’s very thin just like the ABH one and the undertone of the “blackest brown” shade is super cool toned and ashy which I need because my hair is very similar to yours and I have light skin as well. They sell it for like $4 at Ulta.

  • @caseydowling4425
    @caseydowling4425 10 місяців тому +2

    I think putting the eye primer over concealer was the issue rather than the product itself. I think it's one or the other- concealer can be the primer or the primer can be the primer.

    Honestly I think the CT flawless filter is better than the elf dupe.
    I've tried both, for reference I have combo acne prone skin .
    The way I use this is only on my cheek area and it feels more lightweight and gives more of a smooth texture to my skin and the main reason I think the CT flawless filter is better is that underneath any mattifying products I put on top the glow always shines through . I get the mini version which is around the same price as the elf. Love your videos ❤

    • @Annaseptember1978

    My take on this video is.... most if not all of your makeup could be drugstore if there are enough dupes out there. Try the L'oreal liquid liner. It is VERY waterproof! And very black. It's stunning. As for mascara, anything L'oreal is bomb. They are my favorite mascaras. Apart from the Thrive Lash Extension.

    Great video, Nikki! Loved how you tested these products back to back. That Halo glow is a staple for me in the winter months, and I use it as a foundation (just a tiny pea-sized) amount over some simple underpainting. Gives me amazing, natural glow 😊
    I wish I could love the milni baked blushes but I can never get them to look good on me:( Ive tried them over the years, but they all seem to emphasize my texture. But, I have lots of sun spots along my cheeks and undereyes, so I feel like it's not the best formula for my skin type

    I agree that the milani primer is interesting. I actually switch between that and the two faced primer. I use the milani with drier eyshadow formulas like colourpop. Usually I use a little dot and blend it with my finger. You don't need much. I also used too much the first couple times I used it.

    I use a subtle highlighter from Ulta. I love the Nude Essence Highlighter. It’s so perfect for my face!! I have a very round face so contour, bronzer and highlight are a mandatory part of my daily makeup. I have used lipstick 💄 for a quick blush before cream blushes became the rage. I use a powder blush over my cream blushes. I have combo skin so if I don’t use a little powder, my makeup disappears

    7:55 I can really see a difference in the tone from warm to cool in the brow pencils. It will be very interesting to see how the formulas last during the day.
    12:10 I figured that the NYX pencil wouldn’t be able to stand up to the NYX brow setter. ☹️
    The eyeshadows both look so gorgeous! No complaints. 💖
    The foundations look very nice. I won’t make any snarky comments.

    I want to thank you for the wonderful video you made. I loved it, especially your honesty which is so important to us consumers. Speaking of comparisons, I feel that the drugstore side of the video made you look naturally beautiful, while the high-end side made you look like you were wearing more noticeable makeup. You look very beautiful, but it seemed more like you were wearing beautiful expensive makeup

    There is other Colourpop palette that can match the I Need a Nude and it’s the 11-11. I discovered this from Jen Phelps. It isn’t a shade for shade but there are enough to do a beautiful look. You might want to watch Jen’s video. Also I love the Milan’s Conceal and Correct foundation. I remember the the first reviews were not good. I don’t remember the specifics but I have always loved it. I can do without concealer usually. Thanks for your great videos.

    I love the comparison videos from high and to drugstore because it helps me know where I want to spend my money. And I’m new to your channel, but I’ve watched a few videos now and you’re very trustworthy, so I feel like I can take your word for what is worth it and what isn’t. I can tell the difference in your under eyes and with the blush. I have the Milani baked blushes and I feel like the color dissipates quickly.
    Love this video! Thank you ❤

    When I want to wear very little basic coverage to run errands, I love using my Tower 28 concealer as well as some bronzer, blush and mascara. I have to have a little bit of color on my eyes so I have a matte taupe shadow to give my eyes a little bit of distinction.
