I dont usually comment on videos (just like and share) but I had to. The fact that you took the time and effort to emphasize there is no need for people to buy everything you reccomend, and to be a conceous shopper is AMAZING. I have been following the minimalism movement for years, and even there I have rarely seen influencers come out and say it straight forward, you dont need every signle thing just because someone says its good. Just bravo!
Love the disclaimer on this video. Common sense is so important when shopping. You have to take everything influencers say with a grain of salt and no one can force you to spend money, Too many people feel pressured to keep up with everything, but it isn't necessary unless you're creating content or working professionally as a makeup artist. Sometimes I find having a big collection can actually be a bit daunting-often you wind up using the same few things over and over in the long run. Thank you for always sharing your opinions and talent with us, this video was delightful. That said...I also love a big heavy glass bottle! Terrible for travel but so nice on a vanity!
This is why love your channel. You are just a common sense kind of gal. You are sharing your knowledge to educate the public to feel confident with their make up skills. I never feel like you are trying to sell anything. This foundation is on my list to try along with the new nars, but I'll wait until I need a new foundation. I only have one face. LOL I wish I could say the same about my addiction to eyeshadow.
I think it’s important to talk about over-buying. I’ve started to make sure I have one of each type of product (e.g. one foundation) and as others are recommended I make a note of them and then sample/try them *only* when I next need a foundation. For things like lipsticks I try to stick to one red, one rosier colour, one pink, one long wear. Then note down recommendations and only purchase when I run out.
Andreea, Your honesty is very refreshing & important. I'm currently going through my makeup & getting rid of alot of it..and it's very liberating. I from now on will aim from minimalism. I'm not a makeup expert but will admit I do enjoy watching the artistry of experts like you. Would you consider doing something like "minimalism for each skintone" or "what's the most important products for a minimalist approach?" Have a lovely day everyone.
I have only watched a few of your vlogs, not because they aren't great, but because I feel I can't afford to be trying or changing makeup all the time. This video really impressed me. I love when a person leads by example and is relatable, no matter the age. I realize no one is ever going to be grappling with the particular kind of scarring, transparent skin and very large blue lines I have, so I just have to pick up tips that I think will look good for me. You are young and beautiful, and I have the genetics that have kept me looking younger (so I'm told) at nearly 68. I fear how it will be when I am wrinkly, because people normally will ask if I'm sick, if they ever (rarely) see me without any makeup. (I have chronic fatigue & fibromyalgia)I was bullied mercilessly from age 12 - 18, and that's always in the back of my mind. I stick to one brand of eye & face moisturizer, brushes, foundation, blush and finishing powder. Then I use Elf gell brow tint, topaz eyeliner (upper only) and a brown black mascara. I think eyeshadow is aging, especially as lids start to loosen. Anyway, I see older women on social media, who possibly never felt confident with applying makeup, putting this whitish cream foundation on, and proclaiming it to be wonderful, and then that's it. That can't be my future, can it? I just can't envision a time, where I could not care about putting the best face I can, to the world, even if it's just at the garden center or grocery store, LOL.
One of my favorite videos ever!!! So thoughtfully made and described. So informative and honest!!! I love how you deep dive in one product and give us the information we don’t know or tell us what to look for. So many influencers assume we know the more obvious tips but you hit more in this one video on just foundation.
Awesome disclaimer. There has been some much new lately but I’ve decided for 2023 to enjoy and appreciate the items I already have and if I bring in something new then it’s after I finish or declutter something . I have this foundation and I really enjoy it. Thanks for this video ❤❤
I love how you promote sustainable consumption in this video. I’ve found the perfect colour match in the Estée Lauder double wear foundation and don’t need anything else now!
Very good advice, Andrea. There are so many people out there doing make-up videos and reviewing the latest products that sometimes it can be hard for some people not to get lost in it and buy a lot of stuff. As you said, influencer has become a job and many people don't care about advertising things because they're earning money with it. It's appreciated when someone is honest and gives good advice saying you don't need everything you see. Thanks for all your videos!
Your disclaimer is great and smart! The problem is we ALL want to look like you. 😊. We think we may have a chance if we buy everything you are wearing. You're beautiful inside and out.
This video demonstrates the reason you are now a success in your field. Your heart for your audience is obvious. Your wisdom is stellar. Your advice is helpful and honest. Thank you for everything you said in this video. You are wonderful! ❤️
As a makeup artist and product development for makeup, this foundation is innovative, modern and unique. I’m glad to hear your review aligns with my opinion of it. I have added it to my kit because it is that good! I absolutely love it!
so much can be learnt from this video alone. Happy to watch something from someone who is well experience and knows exactly what they are talking about as well as being honest in giving advices. Love it!
I absolutely love your honest approach, when I was a teenager I was obsessed with makeup, beauty, skincare I felt like I needed to always have the latest releases and I feel like your advice would have been so needed then but I am happy to see you speak about it and positively influence the upcoming generations to feel like they don’t need to fall into that trap
Thank you so much for reminding and even ENCOURAGING us to be wise so we don’t over consume. You have such a grounded and healthy perspective on life and it really comes through in every way (with your adorable humor), thank you so much for daring to be different on this platform and in your job!
Hello Andrea, I have been following you on you tube for many years now. I want to let you know that I absolutely love and enjoy your content, personality, spontaneity, and most importantly your honesty. I appreciate you so much. I also have fun watching your videos as you always bring a smile to my face. Additionally, you have an amazing sense of humor. I aplaude you and I look forward to your next video ❤😊❤😊❤
You are just precious! I do agree I buy way too much but for me I’m always looking for the right makeup. I’m 62 and some make up is not ok for me. I like the no make up make up look but I’m not sure if that works. So I keep trying. Thank you for all of your posts. They really are helpful!
Thank you for being truthful and honest. Yes, there are too many influencers that are constantly selling the products even if it’s not good. We don’t know what’s good and okay products. They have lost their identity, because of what they need to do in order to make a living. Thanks for speaking out and reminding us about this ❤
I’m so grateful for your level of integrity with regard to spending on new make up items. It says a ton about who you are. I would love a review of the Chanel number one foundation. Thanks so much!
I so appreciate your message about not buying everything seen on social media. I LOVE your channel and have purchased many products based on your recommendation, and have debated whether I should try others. I am going to do as you suggested and just try something new next time I run out of a product! I have yet to do so since I didn't really wear makeup very often before getting married (8 months ago 🥰). Speaking of, I've been meaning to thank you! I learned how to do makeup properly doing research on how to do my own bridal makeup. I hardly ever wore makeup beforehand and always felt weird about it. I found you and you changed my outlook on makeup! I love it now. It's empowering and such a fun way to both express myself and take pride in my appearance while also feeling more comfortable in my own skin. Thank you, thank you! ❤️
“No. They just make everything heavy” 😂 I love that you said that! What you are saying is so true about influencers being paid to sell products and that the product isn’t necessarily what they love. This is why you will be the only mua that I trust! The fact that you are giving us real honest feedback on these products is so appreciated and rare these days! Thank you so much!
Thank you for your WISE words and advice!! I definitely limit my purchases and I always get samples first to see whether it's a foundation I would enjoy!!
I have recently had a lot of difficulty finding a foundation that suits my skin. What has been recommended to me by Sephora clerks has been shiny/greasy and shows all of my pores and texture irregularities. So I tried a more natural matte foundation. It cracked around my eyes and expression lines. This weekend I got the Haus Labs foundation. I feel like the heavens opened and the angels sang. For my 50 year old slightly combination skin, it is a perfect fit. It gives me a beautiful glow/luminosity without shine. I am so grateful for your review guiding me toward giving this one a try, because I would not have leaned toward it otherwise. Thank you, Ali Andreea!
I've loved so many of your makeup suggestions. Hindash, Nars, Shishedo... love. It has really upped my makeup understanding and choices. As a "wiser" woman and on a teacher's salary I have to be selective with my purchases. Your videos have been invaluable in helping me to select products that are of high quality. I have made a choice to invest in myself in this area and appreciate your honesty and guidance. ❤Sylvia
Andrea, I have been following you for a while and so many others. I have never ever commented as I think almost everything has been already said. But I can see your genuineness. You are an amazing make up artist, person and everything in between. One can see that through everything you do and say! Don’t ever change!!
Dear Andreea.. thanks for the disclaimer, I really appreciate you don't want to "influence" your followers to overconsume staff or have this feeling of "this is what you need in your life". I learn so much from your videos, and my make up game has improve enormously thanks to you. I also appreciate the product recommendations or just to see you being constant using your own make up... There is so many beauty products offered nowadays that is sincerely overwhelming.. so having a few things spotted in advance makes it easier. Thanks again!
I got into serious debt buying the latest makeup influencers “recommended”. I am past it now but I did unfollow so many of them. I mainly follow MUAs like you, that recognize that we don’t need to buy everything that is shown on the videos and mainly do tutorials on their channel. If a video is about product reviews I don’t watch it. This said, thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping this channel focused on tutorials
I love your content and really love this video! The way you explained tone vs undertone and OLIVE undertones…♥️♥️♥️! I’m an olive that ranges from light-medium to light-dark/“tan” and it is SO HARD to find shades for my range. It also bugs me when some pro MUA’s categorize Olive undertones as neutral when they’re both different! I have about 5 different foundations (all from different brands) to suit my needs because of this. I lean warm, slightly golden most of the time but when I get to my darkest complexion that green deepens. Sometimes I can get away with using the Elta md tinted sunscreen to deepen certain shades, so that helps. Anyway, I loved that you touched on olives and I love what you said about not buying every new product that comes out. It’s so true! Please continue to do these educational videos with trying new products. I like being an informed consumer ♥️
Influencers need to understand the power they have over their community especially in these difficult times. You are one of the rare ones that do it responsibly. I feel you did not lose your soul and you have your priorities in the right place. You are a "real" working woman and we feel that in everything you say and do.
Buna Andreea! La aceeasi concluzie am ajuns si eu cand mi-am dat seama ca aveam o lista lunga de produse de makeup de care nu prea aveam nevoie...asa ca le-am pus in asteptare pentru cand se vor termina cele pe care le am acum sau ma voi plictisi de ele si voi dori ceva nou. Oricum mare parte din produsele pe care le am sunt achizitionate in urma review-urilor tale, alegand ceea ce mi se potriveste mie. Iti multumesc!
your honest comment on managing makeup obsession is a good reminder and helpful for my well being , a foundation addict. it is heartwarming to know there is still a human soul in the influencer business, a reason why I follow you. I wish you well.
Andreea, your honesty is so refreshing 🙂 Some very sage advice you offered regarding purchasing habits and finding the right product. There is a lot of indirect subtle marketing that occurs via certain influencers. Thank you 🥰
Thanks for sharing your precious tips on foundation and makeup , you are the perfect teacher !!! I 'm 64 and I ' m using Houslab foundation since January. I think it's faboulous on my skin and I found the right shase too ! I' m so glad that you rewiewed it , thank you !!!
You are such an authentic person. I hate influencers in general and never followed any of them because of all the fakeness. Your honest comments and simplicity (no background music or a fancy set) is very refreshing and endearing. Subscribed!
Thank you very much, Andreea for a brilliant and thorough video. I love your introduction and thorough explanation and analysis of the product. I'd LOVE to see more in-depth reviews dedicated to specific products, or families of products. I totally agree with you: the amount of products people buy is insane, and most people never finish what they buy, they chase the next product. Currently, in my drawer of makeup, I have: 2 foundations (1 was a miss, color-wise), 1 eye primer (that works ideally, so I will repurchase, no need to chase others), 2 undereye concealers (I hate them, but I can make them work, sort of, so I will not buy new ones in the meantime), 1 powder for setting, 4 blushes (different shades), 1 bronzer (serves as an improvised contour), and 5-6 old eyeshadow pallets that work for me quite well. As tempting as it is to get new makeup, I think that if something works, there is no need to change it without reason. I will not repurchase some of my makeup, but as long as it's good enough and I can make it work, I'll finish the product.
I love how you explain and teach us how to pick shades. You’re so beautiful Andreea. Ok, fun question. If you had the Haus Labs and the Nars Light Reflecting foundation sitting side by side..”which one would you grab the most for yourself?” 😊
Yes!!!! Finally someone stating that real olive undertones aren’t easy to find!! I’ve always felt sort of under represented as a light olive undertoned woman - a few more options these days for sure, but not all olive foundations are really olive anyway, even if they claim they are. Thank you for mentioning this! I won’t be buying this foundation, there is so much choice these days that I’ll stick to my Lisa Eldridge one. ❤
That’s exactly why I love you and watch your videos bcz your not like the other influencers!! I learned so so much about makeup bcz of you! Thanks Andrea ❤️❤️
Great advice. I am working on the ones that I have. I have bought some to try without making a dent in what I have. I am on a foundation/concealer no buy. Once I make a dent in what I have, will definitely have to try this one.
5 minutes into the video and this is one of your best so far! Thank you for being so genuine, and never forget that your credibility should not be bought! Keep up!
Another great video! I appreciate your candor about how influencers are doing a job (and have incentive to sell things)- very important to remember! As for ending up with products that are the wrong color: I made a makeup swap group in my town (on Facebook), and it's been a GREAT way to declutter the things I'm not using, and try lots of new things I probably wouldn't have bought on my own. Definitely recommend for others in the same boat! I appreciated your general discussion about makeup, difficulties in finding the right foundation shade, etc. I've struggled with it too: though I buy shades called 'neutral', they're always a little too yellow. I was recently introduced to Ellis Faas skin veil foundation (color: S11WP) and finally a real match! I don't think I've ever heard you mention Ellis Faas- have you tried their makeup? It's expensive, but seems very good!
This video is exactly why I love watching your channel. You are authentic and sincere. Love this type of product review. Thank you for teaching us your ways. 🤗🥰
Love how you mentioned not to overspend! I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and have started buying products I see you use more than once. I feel if you love it enough to keep using it, I need to try it. So far, so good. Also, I’ve discovered I was using a foundation that was too light for me 😳 so I ordered the NARS light reflecting foundation to try it out since you gave it such great reviews and seem to reach for it often. Thank you for helping makeup make sense. You’re a treasure!! ❤❤❤
I love your professionalism and your honesty. For some time I have been doing great with a foundation that no one talks about, Elisabeth Arden flawless finish skincaring foundation and while I love discovering new funds I hardly follow the trends... so many years ago I used double wear by Esteé Lauder but today I couldn't anymore because my skin is no longer the same. Thank you always and a big kiss to Eden 🌷😘
Thank you for your honest opinion. I really love to watch your videos. You are so humble and trustworthy. Like you said in your video, we really need to think about what we buy and if we really need it. I myself bought so much things which I have to throw away later, because it doesn’t work out for me or it is expired.
I just adore you! You are so beautiful inside and out, but what really impresses me is your honesty. What a lovely video, I will finish my Armani foundation and then try Haus. Thanks again!!
Great message here! I tried this foundation and could not find a match. I went in store and everything with neutral undertones was too light for me, and then as the shades depended, the undertones were all wrong. I bought a shade anyway and tried to make it work, but ended up returning it a week later (yay Sephora US!). Also, it sat in my pores and did the “polka dot” thing. Lastly, the ingredients list several types of silicone quite high up, so it’s basically a tinted silicone bomb, which isn’t necessarily bad, but doesn’t usually work for my skin. A pass for me.
Adding to what you said in the beginning, that tbh it was so true and amazing, I think it would be lovely for people to be able to donate or swatch products that did not fit them with other people that uses them or want to try them. The other day I bought a Dior foundation, that for my income its expensive but when I tried it at home it was too light for my skin , even though I swatch it at the shop and seemed ok. Now I'm stuck with this product that does not fit me and got no one to give it to. I would love this community to be open to send and receive products that are not used to reduce waste. Thank you again Andreea for your honesty and true words. Love from Portugal ❤❤
I bought this in Canada. It is beautiful. I am very very fair and it melts into my skin giving a flawless look. This is my fave next to the Shiseido and the Loreal True Match. Love it and your videos.
Andreea I love everything you said and the way you explain the things. I find your videos relaxing. Almost anything feels real or honest on social media but videos like yours do. Thank you for sharing this 🤍
I am one of those people that have so many foundations you would think I’m either a beauty You Tuber, a make-up artist or possibly opening up my own retail make-up store. 🤣🤣🤣 However, I am in my mid-fifties and I didn’t really start getting into make-up until about five years ago. So over my lifetime, I really haven’t spent THAT MUCH money on make-up… at least that’s how I justify my current spending habits! At any rate, I was waiting and waiting for you to try this foundation. I have tried every new luxury foundation that came out last year, and some high-end ones, and I absolutely love the Haus Labs!!! I am so happy to hear you like it too!!! Thank you so much for the video!!!
Thank you so much for testing over foundation!! ❤❤ something is really struggle with ! Could you tell us which sunscreen your using when you test the different foundation 🙏🙏
Andreea you are so amazing and genuine person, love to watch your videos. Impressed not only by your makeup but also the way you guide and advise people it’s superb. So much love to you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love your videos- thank you! I know you have done several videos with models who are quite fair. Redness in the skin, beyond skin tone and undertone, is often an issue for people with pale skin, although, your models didn’t seem to have that issue. I, for one, deal with this and can be rather self conscious about it. And I always avoid blush because eventually the reddishness peeks through my foundation. Would you consider doing a video on what techniques and products you would recommend to combat this?
Andreea. Heartfelt respect for your honesty, for talking straight to some of us who have many foundations. I am guilty of that. I bought 6 foundations this year. All of them luxury, all of them beautiful-such an expensive search I was on: to find the right foundation texture for my skin, now that I’m in my 50s. Anyway, after the 3rd expensive shade mistake, I got it right. When I bought the Haus Labs, I was very, very happy. Thank you for helping me get there. 💕🌷
I struggle with finding foundation that is truly fair toned… I feel like most companies just lump us into the “light” category. I am also a pink undertone which can be hard to find too! Everything is sooo yellow in the fair tones!
For now, Tarte Amazonian Clay works for my fair skin with pink undertone, if you want to give it a try. Personally, I don’t like Tarte anymore as a company and once I finish this foundation I want to buy a similar one, but from another brand… I think Fenty has something good, but I’ll have to start a research on this matter 😅
Thank you Andrea! This was honest and realistic. That is why I like it a lot. I feel that I have bought quite a lot due to influencers. Was it worth? Well, considering that at 42 I owned no makeup (yes!!) I surely needed something. And I have sensitive skin, so many things I bought caused me reactions and ended up in the trash bin. So I tried pharmacy makeup, but the foundation would not set and I hate powdering my whole face…. Then I understood that I should stay away from talc and sometimes fragrance. So yes thanks for a honest video. I am not into product reviews actually. I prefer when you show us makeup techniques. I learned to apply makeup thanks to your videos and I am very grateful.
Ali, I just love, love love so much your videos. I have followed many of your advices, and bought your favorites which became also mine. I really appreciate your honesty. I few more happy having less make up, buying good products and using them until the end. Before Ali videos I was using everything from 1 brand. After Ali videos , I have tried different brands, use them until the end enjoying that I know that when i have to replace something, I will just come back to your channel and find the best advice as possible
Thank you as always! Have you done a video about your go-to products…The ones that are tried and true?! I’m so happy with your success and I think your tutorials are my fav!!! ❤😊❤
Thank you for mentioning the disclaimer. I don’t buy a lot of makeup anymore. With the makeup I have right now, I try to use as much as I can… I do “girls night in” and we play with skin care and my makeup just so I get more use out of them. I totally understand what you mean about buying makeup. I love how you explain that. I did buy things you recommended however.. 😅 I use them are my everyday! Nars foundation (I don’t use foundation everyday, but when I do use foundation. This is great) YSL mascara (MY FAVORITE MASCARA!) Rare beauty blush and contour Ysl balmy tint You’re the only makeup artist I trust for recommendations. Btw I love when you say the word “pictures”… it’s so cute! 😅
Loved this video, Im a nars foundation girl, i have been using sheer glow for the past 13 years, in june 22 i switched to the light reflecting foundation. it's so perfect for my dry skin type and I love the glow. So I won't be buying this but I love to watch and learn form you. thanks for the great content
Hi. I subscribed recently and the common sense you show in your videos (as well as your talent and teaching skills) is part of the reason. I don’t use much makeup so products last me a long time. I find cream products go off more quickly and throwing out something that I haven’t used is very unsustainable for the environment and also a waste of money. Which is why I appreciate your reviews to figure out if it might be something I’m interested in when I finish what I am currently using. I love how you put social media in context. It really is a joy to watch your videos.
Wow! I have never heard an influencer as authentic as you, Andrea. I am one of those that has soooooo much makeup 🫣 . My husband said I should buy shares in Sephora as I buy so much every month. I do LOVE makeup but your video has given me a wake up call … I don’t need to buy everything, thank you 🙏🏼 🥰💫✨ …. and my husband thanks you 😂🤣😂
I’ve been saying this for so long. It’s all about the money for most influencers. I just love watching people do makeup. I could care less about commercials for every step of that process. Love how you do your makeup. You are stunning.
Thank you for this review. I currently rotate between three foundations: By Terry, Chantecaille, & Nars. I thought about buying this foundation due to all the hype, but I’m glad I didn’t give in. I’m happy with what I have and by the time I need to replace one of the three something new will be out on the market. I love watching your makeup shorts. Keep them coming.
Such great sensible advice!!! I am a person that over-spends so thank you for the honesty Andrea! You wouldn't believe the collection I have put together as a lay person, it's honestly embarrassing. I'm now looking for videos using "nothing new'", for obvious reasons!
I just love and respect you so much for your honesty and the care you show for us! This is why we trust you and your recommendations. So far I’ve never regretted buying one! ❤
I wish you could try the Huda Beauty foundation. Pretty please! 🙏 And maybe talk about how to make it work with dry skin? I bought it last November on Black Friday, and I have hard time blending it on my dry skin. I have tried to mix some face cream with it, to make it little bit lighter, since it's quite thick, but it's still not really working. Maybe the type of the face cream has something to do with it... Anyway, I still use that foundation and probably will repurchase it, because it's the only foundation I have tried so far, that is fragrance free, doesn't make my skin break out, it has the perfect shade for me and it stays really well. Love your content, Andreea, you are always so honest with us. 🤗
That’s such a good advise, I am guilty of owning 4 foundations but using single bb cream almost every day. I just wanted to try different so much. I need same advise about reducing lipstick collection and stop buying big eyeshadow palettes .
Draga Andreea, you made me buy literally everything! From foundation, bronzer, blush … to new brushes. I fell in love with Nars! Especially the Light Reflecting Foundation. Btw, I haven’t found my shade yet. I’ve got Fiji which is perfect for my skin tone but it’s a bit dark. I keep it for the summer days. I’ve got Salzburg, I had to return it. Now I’m waiting for Gobi ordered from Sephora yesterday 😅 I love your videos and watching them is my way to relax when the boys are sleeping. I’ve even started to put makeup on almost everyday day. Since I’ve had the kids I’ve kind of neglected myself but “I’m back in business “ now!
I love Nars as well and am Fiji in the summertime. I needed a lighter shade for winter and had a bit of a difficult time finding a good shade match. I thought Salzburg would be my color based on the online shade description only to find it was too dark and not the right tone. Went to store and found the best match to be Deauville. It is not perfect but it works for now until I get my summer color again and can wear Fiji. Gobi was way too light for me when I swatched it in store. If that doesn't work for you , def try Deauville. Good luck. Hope this helps! 😘
Very well spoken. I love ❤️ your truth and sincerity. What you say really needs to be said. No one can buy everything new that comes out, it's easy to be caught up in the buying carousel. And, as you say, end up with almost as much make up and skin care as a pro. This is your job, to make people buy, so I'm so glad you actually speak out. Many need to hear this.
Such good advise Andreea and honest. Very much appreciated .. the influence daily on all of us is massive .. I will say I have things I did not need and bought it because marketing in the end gets to me, but I am keeping it realistic and like to try and use up make up.. Thanks for re-enforcing this here! Very impressed.
You're so honest! Love that. I trust you because I can see that you are an artist. Therefore I bought two things you recommended lately, lol. The lash clash Mascara by YS L and the beauty light wand by C. T. Both are phenomenal! 😊👌❤️
Ali, 4 years ago i had 1 foundation, 1 lipstick and some mascara and blush.Then i accidentally found youtube videos and now i have probably at least 20 foundations , etc etc. My problem was that every time they said how good a foundation or blush was i would buy it. ( and numerous other things). I am finally realizing that so many makeup products are so much alike. Plus the fact that this is not my job and i don't need everything. So i really enjoy and appreciate this video.!!!
Very much like this foundation-I have two shades & use one, the other, or mix so versatile. It has skin care for redness. I have the powder too-makes a perfect set!
Love your honesty about buying foundation whenever some youtuber recommends, because this is what most of us do 🥰.But from now on I am not going to buy anything unless I finish all my foundations 🙏
Love that you always mention that we don’t need to overspend on makeup. This is honesty and very impressive among trillion influencers.
I dont usually comment on videos (just like and share) but I had to. The fact that you took the time and effort to emphasize there is no need for people to buy everything you reccomend, and to be a conceous shopper is AMAZING. I have been following the minimalism movement for years, and even there I have rarely seen influencers come out and say it straight forward, you dont need every signle thing just because someone says its good. Just bravo!
You are amazingly honest, down to earth and grounded. Thank you for your wisdom and guidance. ❤
The time and effort to not encourage consumerism?
@anastazija ..same
Ok one more comment and I’m not done with the video, but YOU ANDREEA are honest and WE TRUST & ADORE you!!
Absolutely agree ❤
Ditto!! Love herrrrr❤️
Thank you for telling us to stop and think before buying yet another makeup product.
Love the disclaimer on this video. Common sense is so important when shopping. You have to take everything influencers say with a grain of salt and no one can force you to spend money, Too many people feel pressured to keep up with everything, but it isn't necessary unless you're creating content or working professionally as a makeup artist. Sometimes I find having a big collection can actually be a bit daunting-often you wind up using the same few things over and over in the long run. Thank you for always sharing your opinions and talent with us, this video was delightful.
That said...I also love a big heavy glass bottle! Terrible for travel but so nice on a vanity!
This is why love your channel. You are just a common sense kind of gal. You are sharing your knowledge to educate the public to feel confident with their make up skills. I never feel like you are trying to sell anything. This foundation is on my list to try along with the new nars, but I'll wait until I need a new foundation. I only have one face. LOL I wish I could say the same about my addiction to eyeshadow.
I think it’s important to talk about over-buying. I’ve started to make sure I have one of each type of product (e.g. one foundation) and as others are recommended I make a note of them and then sample/try them *only* when I next need a foundation.
For things like lipsticks I try to stick to one red, one rosier colour, one pink, one long wear. Then note down recommendations and only purchase when I run out.
Andreea, Your honesty is very refreshing & important. I'm currently going through my makeup & getting rid of alot of it..and it's very liberating. I from now on will aim from minimalism. I'm not a makeup expert but will admit I do enjoy watching the artistry of experts like you. Would you consider doing something like "minimalism for each skintone" or "what's the most important products for a minimalist approach?" Have a lovely day everyone.
I have only watched a few of your vlogs, not because they aren't great, but because I feel I can't afford to be trying or changing makeup all the time. This video really impressed me. I love when a person leads by example and is relatable, no matter the age. I realize no one is ever going to be grappling with the particular kind of scarring, transparent skin and very large blue lines I have, so I just have to pick up tips that I think will look good for me. You are young and beautiful, and I have the genetics that have kept me looking younger (so I'm told) at nearly 68. I fear how it will be when I am wrinkly, because people normally will ask if I'm sick, if they ever (rarely) see me without any makeup. (I have chronic fatigue & fibromyalgia)I was bullied mercilessly from age 12 - 18, and that's always in the back of my mind. I stick to one brand of eye & face moisturizer, brushes, foundation, blush and finishing powder. Then I use Elf gell brow tint, topaz eyeliner (upper only) and a brown black mascara. I think eyeshadow is aging, especially as lids start to loosen. Anyway, I see older women on social media, who possibly never felt confident with applying makeup, putting this whitish cream foundation on, and proclaiming it to be wonderful, and then that's it. That can't be my future, can it? I just can't envision a time, where I could not care about putting the best face I can, to the world, even if it's just at the garden center or grocery store, LOL.
One of my favorite videos ever!!! So thoughtfully made and described. So informative and honest!!! I love how you deep dive in one product and give us the information we don’t know or tell us what to look for. So many influencers assume we know the more obvious tips but you hit more in this one video on just foundation.
So nice that you tested it with spf on. So many demonstrated foundations without spf, it makes a difference on the actual performance.
Awesome disclaimer. There has been some much new lately but I’ve decided for 2023 to enjoy and appreciate the items I already have and if I bring in something new then it’s after I finish or declutter something . I have this foundation and I really enjoy it. Thanks for this video ❤❤
I love how you promote sustainable consumption in this video. I’ve found the perfect colour match in the Estée Lauder double wear foundation and don’t need anything else now!
Very good advice, Andrea. There are so many people out there doing make-up videos and reviewing the latest products that sometimes it can be hard for some people not to get lost in it and buy a lot of stuff. As you said, influencer has become a job and many people don't care about advertising things because they're earning money with it. It's appreciated when someone is honest and gives good advice saying you don't need everything you see. Thanks for all your videos!
Your disclaimer is great and smart! The problem is we ALL want to look like you. 😊. We think we may have a chance if we buy everything you are wearing. You're beautiful inside and out.
This video demonstrates the reason you are now a success in your field. Your heart for your audience is obvious. Your wisdom is stellar. Your advice is helpful and honest. Thank you for everything you said in this video. You are wonderful! ❤️
Thank you for the disclaimers, jokes, and the down to earth style of this video. ❤ ☺️
As a makeup artist and product development for makeup, this foundation is innovative, modern and unique. I’m glad to hear your review aligns with my opinion of it. I have added it to my kit because it is that good! I absolutely love it!
I bought this foundation on a whim and I'm so happy with it too, especially for the coverage and luminosity like you mentioned!
so much can be learnt from this video alone. Happy to watch something from someone who is well experience and knows exactly what they are talking about as well as being honest in giving advices. Love it!
I absolutely love your honest approach, when I was a teenager I was obsessed with makeup, beauty, skincare I felt like I needed to always have the latest releases and I feel like your advice would have been so needed then but I am happy to see you speak about it and positively influence the upcoming generations to feel like they don’t need to fall into that trap
Thank you so much for reminding and even ENCOURAGING us to be wise so we don’t over consume. You have such a grounded and healthy perspective on life and it really comes through in every way (with your adorable humor), thank you so much for daring to be different on this platform and in your job!
Hello Andrea, I have been following you on you tube for many years now. I want to let you know that I absolutely love and enjoy your content, personality, spontaneity, and most importantly your honesty. I appreciate you so much. I also have fun watching your videos as you always bring a smile to my face. Additionally, you have an amazing sense of humor. I aplaude you and I look forward to your next video ❤😊❤😊❤
You are just precious! I do agree I buy way too much but for me I’m always looking for the right makeup. I’m 62 and some make up is not ok for me. I like the no make up make up look but I’m not sure if that works. So I keep trying. Thank you for all of your posts. They really are helpful!
Thank you for being truthful and honest. Yes, there are too many influencers that are constantly selling the products even if it’s not good. We don’t know what’s good and okay products. They have lost their identity, because of what they need to do in order to make a living. Thanks for speaking out and reminding us about this ❤
I’m so grateful for your level of integrity with regard to spending on new make up items. It says a ton about who you are. I would love a review of the Chanel number one foundation. Thanks so much!
I so appreciate your message about not buying everything seen on social media. I LOVE your channel and have purchased many products based on your recommendation, and have debated whether I should try others. I am going to do as you suggested and just try something new next time I run out of a product! I have yet to do so since I didn't really wear makeup very often before getting married (8 months ago 🥰). Speaking of, I've been meaning to thank you! I learned how to do makeup properly doing research on how to do my own bridal makeup. I hardly ever wore makeup beforehand and always felt weird about it. I found you and you changed my outlook on makeup! I love it now. It's empowering and such a fun way to both express myself and take pride in my appearance while also feeling more comfortable in my own skin. Thank you, thank you! ❤️
Great words of common sense and kindness. We have lost touch of ourselves with the rise and pressures of social media. Thank you Andrea! X
“No. They just make everything heavy”
😂 I love that you said that! What you are saying is so true about influencers being paid to sell products and that the product isn’t necessarily what they love. This is why you will be the only mua that I trust!
The fact that you are giving us real honest feedback on these products is so appreciated and rare these days! Thank you so much!
Thank you for your WISE words and advice!! I definitely limit my purchases and I always get samples first to see whether it's a foundation I would enjoy!!
I have recently had a lot of difficulty finding a foundation that suits my skin. What has been recommended to me by Sephora clerks has been shiny/greasy and shows all of my pores and texture irregularities. So I tried a more natural matte foundation. It cracked around my eyes and expression lines. This weekend I got the Haus Labs foundation. I feel like the heavens opened and the angels sang. For my 50 year old slightly combination skin, it is a perfect fit. It gives me a beautiful glow/luminosity without shine. I am so grateful for your review guiding me toward giving this one a try, because I would not have leaned toward it otherwise. Thank you, Ali Andreea!
I've loved so many of your makeup suggestions. Hindash, Nars, Shishedo... love. It has really upped my makeup understanding and choices. As a "wiser" woman and on a teacher's salary I have to be selective with my purchases. Your videos have been invaluable in helping me to select products that are of high quality. I have made a choice to invest in myself in this area and appreciate your honesty and guidance. ❤Sylvia
Andrea, I have been following you for a while and so many others. I have never ever commented as I think almost everything has been already said. But I can see your genuineness. You are an amazing make up artist, person and everything in between. One can see that through everything you do and say! Don’t ever change!!
Dear Andreea.. thanks for the disclaimer, I really appreciate you don't want to "influence" your followers to overconsume staff or have this feeling of "this is what you need in your life". I learn so much from your videos, and my make up game has improve enormously thanks to you. I also appreciate the product recommendations or just to see you being constant using your own make up... There is so many beauty products offered nowadays that is sincerely overwhelming.. so having a few things spotted in advance makes it easier. Thanks again!
This video was incredible. I have so much respect for you and your honesty.
I got into serious debt buying the latest makeup influencers “recommended”. I am past it now but I did unfollow so many of them. I mainly follow MUAs like you, that recognize that we don’t need to buy everything that is shown on the videos and mainly do tutorials on their channel. If a video is about product reviews I don’t watch it. This said, thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping this channel focused on tutorials
I love your content and really love this video! The way you explained tone vs undertone and OLIVE undertones…♥️♥️♥️! I’m an olive that ranges from light-medium to light-dark/“tan” and it is SO HARD to find shades for my range. It also bugs me when some pro MUA’s categorize Olive undertones as neutral when they’re both different! I have about 5 different foundations (all from different brands) to suit my needs because of this. I lean warm, slightly golden most of the time but when I get to my darkest complexion that green deepens. Sometimes I can get away with using the Elta md tinted sunscreen to deepen certain shades, so that helps. Anyway, I loved that you touched on olives and I love what you said about not buying every new product that comes out. It’s so true! Please continue to do these educational videos with trying new products. I like being an informed consumer ♥️
Influencers need to understand the power they have over their community especially in these difficult times. You are one of the rare ones that do it responsibly. I feel you did not lose your soul and you have your priorities in the right place. You are a "real" working woman and we feel that in everything you say and do.
I’m loving this foundation! It looks so beautiful and lasts all day! Loved your review.
Hi Andreea, That foundation really suits you, and the shadow combo !!! looks amazing.
Buna Andreea! La aceeasi concluzie am ajuns si eu cand mi-am dat seama ca aveam o lista lunga de produse de makeup de care nu prea aveam nevoie...asa ca le-am pus in asteptare pentru cand se vor termina cele pe care le am acum sau ma voi plictisi de ele si voi dori ceva nou.
Oricum mare parte din produsele pe care le am sunt achizitionate in urma review-urilor tale, alegand ceea ce mi se potriveste mie.
Iti multumesc!
Girl, you are exceptional! Thank you for all your positivity, knowledge, honesty and humour 💚
I definitely needed to see this video. Trying to stay up with endless buying of makeup honestly makes me tired. Thank you so much for this ❤
your honest comment on managing makeup obsession is a good reminder and helpful for my well being , a foundation addict. it is heartwarming to know there is still a human soul in the influencer business, a reason why I follow you. I wish you well.
Andreea, your honesty is so refreshing 🙂 Some very sage advice you offered regarding purchasing habits and finding the right product. There is a lot of indirect subtle marketing that occurs via certain influencers. Thank you 🥰
Thanks for sharing your precious tips on foundation and makeup , you are the perfect teacher !!! I 'm 64 and I ' m using Houslab foundation since January. I think it's faboulous on my skin and I found the right shase too ! I' m so glad that you rewiewed it , thank you !!!
You are such an authentic person. I hate influencers in general and never followed any of them because of all the fakeness. Your honest comments and simplicity (no background music or a fancy set) is very refreshing and endearing. Subscribed!
Thank you very much, Andreea for a brilliant and thorough video. I love your introduction and thorough explanation and analysis of the product. I'd LOVE to see more in-depth reviews dedicated to specific products, or families of products.
I totally agree with you: the amount of products people buy is insane, and most people never finish what they buy, they chase the next product.
Currently, in my drawer of makeup, I have: 2 foundations (1 was a miss, color-wise), 1 eye primer (that works ideally, so I will repurchase, no need to chase others), 2 undereye concealers (I hate them, but I can make them work, sort of, so I will not buy new ones in the meantime), 1 powder for setting, 4 blushes (different shades), 1 bronzer (serves as an improvised contour), and 5-6 old eyeshadow pallets that work for me quite well.
As tempting as it is to get new makeup, I think that if something works, there is no need to change it without reason. I will not repurchase some of my makeup, but as long as it's good enough and I can make it work, I'll finish the product.
I love how you explain and teach us how to pick shades. You’re so beautiful Andreea. Ok, fun question. If you had the Haus Labs and the Nars Light Reflecting foundation sitting side by side..”which one would you grab the most for yourself?” 😊
Yes!!!! Finally someone stating that real olive undertones aren’t easy to find!! I’ve always felt sort of under represented as a light olive undertoned woman - a few more options these days for sure, but not all olive foundations are really olive anyway, even if they claim they are. Thank you for mentioning this! I won’t be buying this foundation, there is so much choice these days that I’ll stick to my Lisa Eldridge one. ❤
That’s exactly why I love you and watch your videos bcz your not like the other influencers!! I learned so so much about makeup bcz of you! Thanks Andrea ❤️❤️
Great advice. I am working on the ones that I have. I have bought some to try without making a dent in what I have. I am on a foundation/concealer no buy. Once I make a dent in what I have, will definitely have to try this one.
5 minutes into the video and this is one of your best so far! Thank you for being so genuine, and never forget that your credibility should not be bought! Keep up!
Another great video! I appreciate your candor about how influencers are doing a job (and have incentive to sell things)- very important to remember! As for ending up with products that are the wrong color: I made a makeup swap group in my town (on Facebook), and it's been a GREAT way to declutter the things I'm not using, and try lots of new things I probably wouldn't have bought on my own. Definitely recommend for others in the same boat! I appreciated your general discussion about makeup, difficulties in finding the right foundation shade, etc. I've struggled with it too: though I buy shades called 'neutral', they're always a little too yellow. I was recently introduced to Ellis Faas skin veil foundation (color: S11WP) and finally a real match! I don't think I've ever heard you mention Ellis Faas- have you tried their makeup? It's expensive, but seems very good!
This video is exactly why I love watching your channel. You are authentic and sincere. Love this type of product review. Thank you for teaching us your ways. 🤗🥰
Love how you mentioned not to overspend!
I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and have started buying products I see you use more than once. I feel if you love it enough to keep using it, I need to try it. So far, so good.
Also, I’ve discovered I was using a foundation that was too light for me 😳 so I ordered the NARS light reflecting foundation to try it out since you gave it such great reviews and seem to reach for it often.
Thank you for helping makeup make sense. You’re a treasure!! ❤❤❤
I love your professionalism and your honesty. For some time I have been doing great with a foundation that no one talks about, Elisabeth Arden flawless finish skincaring foundation and while I love discovering new funds I hardly follow the trends... so many years ago I used double wear by Esteé Lauder but today I couldn't anymore because my skin is no longer the same. Thank you always and a big kiss to Eden 🌷😘
Lady, you Crack me up! An influencer who advises her followers they don't need so much makeup 😀 that's one reason I love you ❤
I just LOVE how honest and real you! Thank YOU!
Thank you for your honest opinion. I really love to watch your videos. You are so humble and trustworthy. Like you said in your video, we really need to think about what we buy and if we really need it. I myself bought so much things which I have to throw away later, because it doesn’t work out for me or it is expired.
I just adore you! You are so beautiful inside and out, but what really impresses me is your honesty. What a lovely video, I will finish my Armani foundation and then try Haus. Thanks again!!
Great message here! I tried this foundation and could not find a match. I went in store and everything with neutral undertones was too light for me, and then as the shades depended, the undertones were all wrong. I bought a shade anyway and tried to make it work, but ended up returning it a week later (yay Sephora US!). Also, it sat in my pores and did the “polka dot” thing. Lastly, the ingredients list several types of silicone quite high up, so it’s basically a tinted silicone bomb, which isn’t necessarily bad, but doesn’t usually work for my skin. A pass for me.
Adding to what you said in the beginning, that tbh it was so true and amazing, I think it would be lovely for people to be able to donate or swatch products that did not fit them with other people that uses them or want to try them. The other day I bought a Dior foundation, that for my income its expensive but when I tried it at home it was too light for my skin , even though I swatch it at the shop and seemed ok. Now I'm stuck with this product that does not fit me and got no one to give it to. I would love this community to be open to send and receive products that are not used to reduce waste. Thank you again Andreea for your honesty and true words. Love from Portugal ❤❤
I bought this in Canada. It is beautiful. I am very very fair and it melts into my skin giving a flawless look. This is my fave next to the Shiseido and the Loreal True Match. Love it and your videos.
Andreea I love everything you said and the way you explain the things. I find your videos relaxing. Almost anything feels real or honest on social media but videos like yours do. Thank you for sharing this 🤍
I am one of those people that have so many foundations you would think I’m either a beauty You Tuber, a make-up artist or possibly opening up my own retail make-up store. 🤣🤣🤣 However, I am in my mid-fifties and I didn’t really start getting into make-up until about five years ago. So over my lifetime, I really haven’t spent THAT MUCH money on make-up… at least that’s how I justify my current spending habits! At any rate, I was waiting and waiting for you to try this foundation. I have tried every new luxury foundation that came out last year, and some high-end ones, and I absolutely love the Haus Labs!!! I am so happy to hear you like it too!!! Thank you so much for the video!!!
Thank you so much for testing over foundation!! ❤❤ something is really struggle with ! Could you tell us which sunscreen your using when you test the different foundation 🙏🙏
Honest, professional and kind. These are the reasons why I follow ONLY you for make up advice. Thanks for being you ❤️👍🥰🌹
Andreea you are so amazing and genuine person, love to watch your videos. Impressed not only by your makeup but also the way you guide and advise people it’s superb. So much love to you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love your videos- thank you! I know you have done several videos with models who are quite fair. Redness in the skin, beyond skin tone and undertone, is often an issue for people with pale skin, although, your models didn’t seem to have that issue. I, for one, deal with this and can be rather self conscious about it. And I always avoid blush because eventually the reddishness peeks through my foundation. Would you consider doing a video on what techniques and products you would recommend to combat this?
Andreea. Heartfelt respect for your honesty, for talking straight to some of us who have many foundations. I am guilty of that. I bought 6 foundations this year. All of them luxury, all of them beautiful-such an expensive search I was on: to find the right foundation texture for my skin, now that I’m in my 50s. Anyway, after the 3rd expensive shade mistake, I got it right.
When I bought the Haus Labs, I was very, very happy. Thank you for helping me get there. 💕🌷
I struggle with finding foundation that is truly fair toned… I feel like most companies just lump us into the “light” category. I am also a pink undertone which can be hard to find too! Everything is sooo yellow in the fair tones!
For now, Tarte Amazonian Clay works for my fair skin with pink undertone, if you want to give it a try. Personally, I don’t like Tarte anymore as a company and once I finish this foundation I want to buy a similar one, but from another brand… I think Fenty has something good, but I’ll have to start a research on this matter 😅
Thank you Andrea! This was honest and realistic. That is why I like it a lot. I feel that I have bought quite a lot due to influencers. Was it worth? Well, considering that at 42 I owned no makeup (yes!!) I surely needed something. And I have sensitive skin, so many things I bought caused me reactions and ended up in the trash bin. So I tried pharmacy makeup, but the foundation would not set and I hate powdering my whole face…. Then I understood that I should stay away from talc and sometimes fragrance. So yes thanks for a honest video. I am not into product reviews actually. I prefer when you show us makeup techniques. I learned to apply makeup thanks to your videos and I am very grateful.
Thank you for your honesty! You’re always so straight forward and it’s refreshing.
Ali, I just love, love love so much your videos. I have followed many of your advices, and bought your favorites which became also mine. I really appreciate your honesty. I few more happy having less make up, buying good products and using them until the end. Before Ali videos I was using everything from 1 brand. After Ali videos , I have tried different brands, use them until the end enjoying that I know that when i have to replace something, I will just come back to your channel and find the best advice as possible
Thank you Andrea! I have the foundation and love it too. Can you please review the new TF Traceless Foundation?
Thank you as always! Have you done a video about your go-to products…The ones that are tried and true?! I’m so happy with your success and I think your tutorials are my fav!!! ❤😊❤
I bought this one after I heard several positive reviews. I'm so glad I did its my go to foundation. I'm happy you are enjoying it also.
Thanks for your honesty. The foundation looks beautiful on you. I'm glad you did the review.
Thank you for mentioning the disclaimer. I don’t buy a lot of makeup anymore. With the makeup I have right now, I try to use as much as I can… I do “girls night in” and we play with skin care and my makeup just so I get more use out of them. I totally understand what you mean about buying makeup. I love how you explain that. I did buy things you recommended however.. 😅
I use them are my everyday!
Nars foundation (I don’t use foundation everyday, but when I do use foundation. This is great)
YSL mascara (MY FAVORITE MASCARA!)
Rare beauty blush and contour
Ysl balmy tint
You’re the only makeup artist I trust for recommendations. Btw I love when you say the word “pictures”… it’s so cute! 😅
Loved this video, Im a nars foundation girl, i have been using sheer glow for the past 13 years, in june 22 i switched to the light reflecting foundation. it's so perfect for my dry skin type and I love the glow. So I won't be buying this but I love to watch and learn form you. thanks for the great content
Hi. I subscribed recently and the common sense you show in your videos (as well as your talent and teaching skills) is part of the reason. I don’t use much makeup so products last me a long time. I find cream products go off more quickly and throwing out something that I haven’t used is very unsustainable for the environment and also a waste of money. Which is why I appreciate your reviews to figure out if it might be something I’m interested in when I finish what I am currently using. I love how you put social media in context. It really is a joy to watch your videos.
Wow! I have never heard an influencer as authentic as you, Andrea. I am one of those that has soooooo much makeup 🫣 . My husband said I should buy shares in Sephora as I buy so much every month.
I do LOVE makeup but your video has given me a wake up call … I don’t need to buy everything, thank you 🙏🏼 🥰💫✨ …. and my husband thanks you 😂🤣😂
And this is why I follow your channel!! 🙌🏼
I’ve been saying this for so long. It’s all about the money for most influencers. I just love watching people do makeup. I could care less about commercials for every step of that process. Love how you do your makeup. You are stunning.
Thank you for this review. I currently rotate between three foundations: By Terry, Chantecaille, & Nars. I thought about buying this foundation due to all the hype, but I’m glad I didn’t give in. I’m happy with what I have and by the time I need to replace one of the three something new will be out on the market. I love watching your makeup shorts. Keep them coming.
Absolutely beautiful!! You’re sincerity shines through! 😊
Such great sensible advice!!! I am a person that over-spends so thank you for the honesty Andrea! You wouldn't believe the collection I have put together as a lay person, it's honestly embarrassing. I'm now looking for videos using "nothing new'", for obvious reasons!
I just love and respect you so much for your honesty and the care you show for us! This is why we trust you and your recommendations. So far I’ve never regretted buying one! ❤
I wish you could try the Huda Beauty foundation. Pretty please! 🙏
And maybe talk about how to make it work with dry skin? I bought it last November on Black Friday, and I have hard time blending it on my dry skin. I have tried to mix some face cream with it, to make it little bit lighter, since it's quite thick, but it's still not really working. Maybe the type of the face cream has something to do with it... Anyway, I still use that foundation and probably will repurchase it, because it's the only foundation I have tried so far, that is fragrance free, doesn't make my skin break out, it has the perfect shade for me and it stays really well.
Love your content, Andreea, you are always so honest with us. 🤗
That’s such a good advise, I am guilty of owning 4 foundations but using single bb cream almost every day. I just wanted to try different so much. I need same advise about reducing lipstick collection and stop buying big eyeshadow palettes .
Draga Andreea, you made me buy literally everything! From foundation, bronzer, blush … to new brushes.
I fell in love with Nars! Especially the Light Reflecting Foundation. Btw, I haven’t found my shade yet. I’ve got Fiji which is perfect for my skin tone but it’s a bit dark. I keep it for the summer days. I’ve got Salzburg, I had to return it. Now I’m waiting for Gobi ordered from Sephora yesterday 😅
I love your videos and watching them is my way to relax when the boys are sleeping. I’ve even started to put makeup on almost everyday day. Since I’ve had the kids I’ve kind of neglected myself but “I’m back in business “ now!
I love Nars as well and am Fiji in the summertime. I needed a lighter shade for winter and had a bit of a difficult time finding a good shade match. I thought Salzburg would be my color based on the online shade description only to find it was too dark and not the right tone. Went to store and found the best match to be Deauville. It is not perfect but it works for now until I get my summer color again and can wear Fiji. Gobi was way too light for me when I swatched it in store. If that doesn't work for you , def try Deauville. Good luck. Hope this helps! 😘
Very well spoken. I love ❤️ your truth and sincerity. What you say really needs to be said. No one can buy everything new that comes out, it's easy to be caught up in the buying carousel. And, as you say, end up with almost as much make up and skin care as a pro. This is your job, to make people buy, so I'm so glad you actually speak out. Many need to hear this.
Such good advise Andreea and honest. Very much appreciated .. the influence daily on all of us is massive .. I will say I have things I did not need and bought it because marketing in the end gets to me, but I am keeping it realistic and like to try and use up make up.. Thanks for re-enforcing this here! Very impressed.
You're so honest! Love that. I trust you because I can see that you are an artist.
Therefore I bought two things you recommended lately, lol.
The lash clash Mascara by YS L and the beauty light wand by C. T.
Both are phenomenal! 😊👌❤️
Ali, 4 years ago i had 1 foundation, 1 lipstick and some mascara and blush.Then i accidentally found youtube videos and now i have probably at least 20 foundations , etc etc. My problem was that every time they said how good a foundation or blush was i would buy it. ( and numerous other things). I am finally realizing that so many makeup products are so much alike. Plus the fact that this is not my job and i don't need everything. So i really enjoy and appreciate this video.!!!
LOVE your honesty!!!! Just as I LOVE your detailed tutorials!!!
Love your honesty and pleasant way of communicating ❤
Very much like this foundation-I have two shades & use one, the other, or mix so versatile. It has skin care for redness. I have the powder too-makes a perfect set!
Usually have trouble finding a foundation that I like and I do looove this one. Appreciate the message of this video :)
Love your honesty about buying foundation whenever some youtuber recommends, because this is what most of us do 🥰.But from now on I am not going to buy anything unless I finish all my foundations 🙏
