@@TheDiariesofDevin Exactly! Haha she gives us good shots compared to someone like Tati who people have asked for literal YEARS for her to plz zoom in and stop the beauty filter lol
Tati still uses a camera that she has to actually walk to and zoom it in (and filters, so why does she even bother doing try ons) if you've watched for a while, in several videos she actually calls James to come out and zoom it in on her and then back out...everyone else uses cameras they can either zoom in from a computer or is close enough they can just reach out and zoom it. This is the actual reason I stopped watching Tati...between the filters and always coveting her face with the mirror, I just don't find her informative anymore. I literally only watch if James or her bonus son is in the video.
THESE HELP ME SO MUCH! I'm a mom of 3 and we struggle, so when I buy makeup I can't waste money. Anything that I've tried that you've recommended has been amazing! Like, almost all of my favorites, I bought because of you! Thanks, girl 🖤 And I know makeup isn't a need, but momma likes to feel pretty sometimes.
Storm Black, I hear ya, girl. I’ve got two girls and a little boy coming in July, and we love a good deal! :) Always love Taylor’s recommendations. She’s awesome!!
You deserve nice things! Makeup is needed as long as it makes you feel good. I don't have kids but i live on my own so I try and buy in my price range and it can be difficult.
As soon as I saw her do it with brush and sponge, I was like "that's not gonna work." I don't even use those types of foundations but when I've searched them or something it's pretty clear they react to body heat and friction.
The Almay foundation is actually one of my FAVORITE "run-out-the-door" foundations. But you need to use your HANDS to blend it in. I use a glowy primer underneath it when I want it less matte. Give it another try. It actually has pretty good coverage and evens everything out. The most natural everyday makeup. Great on mornings you may have overslept, lol
@@elizabethepp9507 I don't know if it'll help, but have you ever tried using a mixer to lighten it? On days I want a little more coverage, I mix in a drop or two of the No.7 drops, and it works like magic. Maybe a white mixer would help? I feel like it would essentially work the same 😊
Hahaha... I was one of those people! Only because I actually really like it, and also know you will look like you rubbed paste on your face if you don't use your hands. The whole video was giving me anxiety, I had to say something, lmao
AKA Lane I can’t tell if you’re trying to be funny or a jerk or even replying to me...so do better. I said nothing about me being an expert-other than knowing when to look at the comments section. I also didn’t make a comment as to how to use it so maybe you responded to the wrong person.
“Back from the holy land” 😆👍🏻 So Taylor, 😊 I recently learned something important after more than 10 years of watching TH-cam....that it’s most helpful to watch and “engage” soon after your video has been released in order to be most supportive. So here I am. 😊 I appreciate you and your content. ☺️
Use your hands to put on the foundation 😉 it’s one of my favorites for the summer. Rub it on like a moisturizer and it blends out perfectly! I usually pat with a sponge after blending in with my hands to make sure it’s super smooth.
These are my favorite kind of videos. Just random products, you haven’t heard anything about. I see the same 10 products reviewed by every single youtuber, and it’s kinda boring. I would love to see a lot more of these. Maybe you could ask us about some random things we’ve been curious about.
Shade matching foundations always work the best when you use your fingers because they're activated with the warmth of your face and fingers combined. If you use a brush or sponge it could take a bit for the foundation to reach its color or it might even remain blotchy.
That lip color is GORGEOUS!!! I need it. Also the Wet n Wild liners! I’ll probably try the primer too. 🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯BAERRITO FAM IS THE BEST FAM 🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯
I don't have that product in front of me but other ppl have said that it doesn't actually say that anywhere. And models demonstrating how to put it on also did not use their fingers. So, idk? Ppl are saying its just not a good product. They also trick ppl into believing it actually color matches, when it really doesn't. These are not things I've said. I've never had it. But i just summed up all the comments ive read about it.
@@jamesstephanski5893 From the package: "Use your fingers to simply dot on and blend Smart Shade Skintone Matching Makeup into your skin for a natural finish-that's it!" Also from the package: "Almay's Tonemimic technology uses tiny spheres that break open and release pigment as you blend them over your skin."
The clip of you in your car before going into Target was such great lighting. Your eyes looked so light blue and your skin looked so fresh and clear. Beautiful!
That wet n wild breakup proof eyeliner made me gasp!! It's so black! Also that wet n wild liquid eyeliner looked so good and it went on so smooth! I need both in my life...oh and the lashes too! 😍
I randomly found that wet n wild liquid liner a few weeks ago and it's literally better than any high end liner I've ever tried! So glad you like it too!
Idk if its because the product sits so long it expires on the shelves..but every single time I buy this eyeliner it's gloopy and chunky after a few uses, and is completely unusable and gross after 2-3 uses. 😣
I love this idea! Great content as always. Your channel never gets boring and I have said this before. You are the most organized, thorough, hardworking TH-camr who seems like she actually cares about her followers and content she displays. I adore you Taylor. Keep pushing on. You look beautiful with no makeup and your hair this way. Love and positivity your way. Congrats early to 1 million this year.love you and hugs. Hope YOU mentally are doing well. If no one told you today you are beautiful, capable and the work is full of glory and posibilitiea. Not that you don't, but, seize the day! Btw try the tinted moisturizer from Neutrogena. Just like the nudestix one. So gorgeous
I know, I love some of the SK brushes, too; & I especially like that they have the covers. I keep them to use for travelling, & even just for the makeup pouch in my purse. It's a handy way to keep brushes clean, & to prevent getting makeup on everything else when it's dirty.
I'm so glad you picked up the foundation brush from Sonia. Yay! I had that in my basket and couldn't make up my mind. I did get her filter makeup sponge -- you have to try that one! It has two flat sides and fits into the eyes and helps move product there and on the sides of my face. Also, it washes up better than some of the beauty blenders I've tried.
tudor chick not me! 😂 if I go without my kids (at home with my husband) I’ll spend an hour just looking at the makeup and brushes lol. It’s so therapeutic. But I could spend forever in target just looking at everything, even if I’m not buying very many things.
I just tried the Bambi mascara the other day and loved how it made my lashes looked ! Also the new Maybelline liquid liner in the hexagonal packaging is really good, sure easy to work with
Yeah ❤️ thank you Taylor for working hard no matter how you feel. It’s appreciated and you totally work hard and deserve your success. I’ve followed you since your days in college years and years ago. Love ya girl. From a Fellow Washingtonian in Lacey, WA
Your Target looks a lot nicer and more well stocked then mine. My Target makeup section always looks like a tornado went through it. Plus, that lip color is stunning on you!
I have the SK marble sponge & the Contouring & Highlighting brush set. I have to wet the sponge to get the bounce I like, which sheers out my foundation, which I don't always mind depending on the look I'm going for. The brush set is awesome. It requires a light hand because the brushes pick up and hold product. They're also well built. I'll have to try the foundation brush because the one I have isn't stiff enough.
The Wet-n-Wild sponge is one of my favorite sponges!! Not a fan of the Almay foundation either because it did the same to me but after hearing you need to warm it up first in your hands I'll give it another chance. Excited to try the WnW eyeliners though :)
I'm always so amazed that you're still able to keep the content so consistent. Your videos are always the best quality and so dependable (I don't think I've purchased a foundation in years without watching one of your reviews first). Your channel is absolutely the best.
What a fun video! That’s fun that ur target has a parking garage, the only one I’ve seen like that is in Atl. Sonja kashuk brushes are very underrated, like the Sephora pro brushes. I live for her sponges! I’m IN LOVE w the makeup revolution highlighter u recommended, holy crap, so so so good. I swear, ur voice is the best, so soothing & relaxing. Thanks for all u do! You are truly one of the BEST💗
I actually like that Almay foundation but it does seem to work best when applied with your fingers. The warmth must make the color change take effect. I had the same white cast that you did when I tried a brush or sponge.
I’ve noticed that these shade matching foundations work best when they’re applied with the fingers. This one is a lot like the L’Oréal magic something BB Cream (forget name) the one in the white tube & purple cap. I have to moisturize well & use a good thick primer like the original Smashbox primer & I got a nice finish this way.
I have dry skin and I use the almay foundation. Yes, I only use moisturizer beneath and I apply it with my fingers, but honestly is one of my current favorites. It has a powdery finish, so you don't have to set it, a whole lot coverage than I expected and it lasts all day! Give it a try like that, I hope you like it more.
I use the Almay foundation and it works the best if u apply it with your fingers! It makes it warm up or something. I've tried with sponge and a brush it looked awful but with fingers it was magical!
My current sponge is the wet n wild one and love it!! ❤️That color changing foundation 🤦🏻♀️.... I wonder if using your fingers would help it change colors. Love that you didn’t take it off but tried to salvage the situation 🙌🏼
I’m having to binge to catch up on your videos over the last two weeks. We bought our first house and have been in the middle of moving and unpacking etc., and getting notifications that you uploaded but being unable to watch has given me anxiety! Finally getting some Taylor time 🌯
That Almay foundation applies best with your fingers. The warmth of your hands changes the shade from white to the foundation color...give it another shot because I did the same thing when I first got it.
I genuinely was wondering when would you do another hidden makeup video cause I enjoyed the last one and kind of liked the theme! 🤣 My dream came true 🖤🤣
I'd like to see youtubers do a "favorites of nothing new" video in addition to their monthly favorites. Thank you for trying everything on, as always, I love your videos.
I use that almay foundation/sunscreen and I find best way to put on is with your fingers. You have to rub hands together to reveal color. Works with friction and warmth.
My new favorites are the Nyx Radiant concealer, that product is so slept on. I like to mix the Nyx foundation but can't wear it alone as my nose eats foundation for breakfast. I've been layering a wet n wild waterproof with Lash Princess mascara and FINALLY no transferring! Also loving the melt cosmetics eye pencils, I've never seen a review on them and they are amazing!
I haven't tried that particular almay shade matching foundation, but I have used similar products in the past and the key is to apply it with your fingers!
I’m sure there are lots of comments on application lol BUT I used that foundation today in light, if you use your fingers or I use the real techniques buffing brush, and do circular motions and it looks so good! I have very dry skin, but setting spray makes it look really nice.
Nope, bought out by another company. So things slowed as they regrouped and changed their whole business model. Since the monthly maven box is gone, I'm done with them except for their concealers and lip gloss (Vibes).
Target has Bliss products too, I love Bliss the Lemon Sage Shower gel is amazing especially in the morning to wake up in a citrus dream smelling shower!
I like the Almay Foundation i have to warm it up between my fingers and rub it in like a lotion. I can only wear it in the warm summer months. It’s more work than I want to do on most days though.
I love the Almay foundation. I believe that you’re supposed to warm it up on your fingertips first and then apply with your fingers. And...I have normal to dry skin.
My hands are always ice-cold; I can't imagine my fingers warming anything 😆. Not to mention, I cant imagine getting even foundation application with my fingers; plus my spf, moisturizer and serums would probably pill if I tried to rub it in.
I feel like that’s kinda an extra step no one wants to do but I hope she tries again because at first she was saying it was matte but skin like which sounds perfect
I loved that lip on you!! I’d love to see some more of your one brand videos like maybe pixie, Sonia kashic, Nyx, flower beauty, ulta brand and Sephora brand.
Those Superstay Ink Crayons are a favorite of mine. I love them for my purse. I can usually get 7-8 hours out of them before touchup, but they don’t dry my lips out like most matte lip products.
I like that primer. I decided to try it after Shelly/GOoW tried it and have liked it. The Almay shade-matching foundation is a re-introduction of the same product from many years ago. They expanded the shade selection from the original which was just Light/Medium and Medium/Dark if I remember correctly. It also has to be rubbed in with your hands/fingers because it’s the rubbing that breaks the tinted microspheres (or whatever it has) and makes it change color. That said, it’s still going to be patchy and not not look good. I know because I bought it late last summer and it didn’t work on my dry skin either.
I would 100% recommend the other shade wet n wild has in there blush/highlight duo! I can’t remember what it’s called but it is my absolute FAVORITE highlight and blush topper
The Almay product I’ve noticed if you mix it on your hand first it works better, but I don’t think it’s shade matching at all. there are beads in it that burst when you mix an the true color comes out. It didn’t match my hand at all not even the undertone and I am about the same shade as you are
I live for Taylor saying “I upload every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 6pm pacific time.”
Jessica Burke I’m not the only one 🙃
Omg all this time I thought she was saying 6pm supper time 😂😂😂😂 and I've watched sooo many hahhaha
Jessica Van Leeuwenkamp 😂😂 Honest mistake !
and it’s ON TIME. TO THE MINUTE. EVERY. TIME. 😂🙏🏼🙌🏼🤍
Even my husband knows when my phone goes off at 6pm!!! “Taylor uploaded a new video” 😂
When you zoomed in to show us the first concealer, THATS how close I wish it could be all the time when you’re doing your makeup!
Beauty guru- "let me zoom you in"
Me- "that's it?"

Storm Black I love these videos, you’re right, it really does save us al lot of money
Makeup can help your mental health when you’re feeling down. It’s a mama need!
You deserve nice things! Makeup is needed as long as it makes you feel good. I don't have kids but i live on my own so I try and buy in my price range and it can be difficult.
The Wet & Wild sponge is my favorite. It’s amazing and only $4.
LOVE the Wet n Wild sponge. Honestly the best one at the drugstore!!! 😍😍❤❤
You're supposed to rub it between your hands and warm the pigment to get it to a "foundation" color then use your fingers to put it on your face ;)
Yesss!
But they should have thought it through that a lot of people don’t use their hands for foundation! 🤷♀️
As soon as I saw her do it with brush and sponge, I was like "that's not gonna work." I don't even use those types of foundations but when I've searched them or something it's pretty clear they react to body heat and friction.
Thank you!! It was so hard watching it and not being able to get this advice off my chest 🙈😅

Almay has some really good cream foiled eyeshadows that I’ve bought a lot of the shades. My favorite shade is Cupid’s glaze.
Ahhh, I work at that Target and I swear I saw you one day! I guess I wasn’t crazy. 😂

That Almay foundation applies best with your fingers. The warmth of your hands changes the shade from white to the foundation color...give it another shot because I did the same thing when I first got it.
I apply the Almay foundation with my hands and I like it! Nice light coverage for my dry skin. 😊
I have that Sonia Kashuk brush. It's one of my favorites 💕
I genuinely was wondering when would you do another hidden makeup video cause I enjoyed the last one and kind of liked the theme! 🤣 My dream came true 🖤🤣
I’ve been obsessed with the Sonia Kashiuk makeup sponges. They work a lot better than any sponge I’ve tried
I'd like to see youtubers do a "favorites of nothing new" video in addition to their monthly favorites. Thank you for trying everything on, as always, I love your videos.
I use that almay foundation/sunscreen and I find best way to put on is with your fingers. You have to rub hands together to reveal color. Works with friction and warmth.
"I don't have four eyeballs, soo...." 😂💗
My new favorites are the Nyx Radiant concealer, that product is so slept on. I like to mix the Nyx foundation but can't wear it alone as my nose eats foundation for breakfast. I've been layering a wet n wild waterproof with Lash Princess mascara and FINALLY no transferring! Also loving the melt cosmetics eye pencils, I've never seen a review on them and they are amazing!
I haven't tried that particular almay shade matching foundation, but I have used similar products in the past and the key is to apply it with your fingers!
Oooooh girl Sonia Kashuk brushes are my fave! I love the one you’re using!
I’m sure there are lots of comments on application lol BUT I used that foundation today in light, if you use your fingers or I use the real techniques buffing brush, and do circular motions and it looks so good! I have very dry skin, but setting spray makes it look really nice.
My target now carries Julep! I’m excited to explore more of that line, so far loving their sunscreen & rose hip oil.
Emily Noel made a video of Julep products some time ago
Julep is at Target?!?? I love their lip crayons!! I thought they went out of business?
Nope, bought out by another company. So things slowed as they regrouped and changed their whole business model. Since the monthly maven box is gone, I'm done with them except for their concealers and lip gloss (Vibes).
Target has Bliss products too, I love Bliss the Lemon Sage Shower gel is amazing especially in the morning to wake up in a citrus dream smelling shower!

I like the Almay Foundation i have to warm it up between my fingers and rub it in like a lotion. I can only wear it in the warm summer months. It’s more work than I want to do on most days though.
Your skin looks amazing in general, but without the lights at the start of this video it's absolutely flawless.
I love the Almay foundation. I believe that you’re supposed to warm it up on your fingertips first and then apply with your fingers. And...I have normal to dry skin.
Yeah, she applied it wrong.
Is it medium coverage??
My hands are always ice-cold; I can't imagine my fingers warming anything 😆. Not to mention, I cant imagine getting even foundation application with my fingers; plus my spf, moisturizer and serums would probably pill if I tried to rub it in.
Peggy S same!
I feel like that’s kinda an extra step no one wants to do but I hope she tries again because at first she was saying it was matte but skin like which sounds perfect
That lip color is insanely gorgeous!
I am working on my next AmazonPrime order, so many of these products are ones I wanted to try. Thank you, for reviewing. Very good thing. Lynn
I use the WnW sponge. I love it. I use it dry though. It seems like when I wet the sponges they soak up my foundation & concealer.
I loved that lip on you!! I’d love to see some more of your one brand videos like maybe pixie, Sonia kashic, Nyx, flower beauty, ulta brand and Sephora brand.
Those Superstay Ink Crayons are a favorite of mine. I love them for my purse. I can usually get 7-8 hours out of them before touchup, but they don’t dry my lips out like most matte lip products.
I like that primer. I decided to try it after Shelly/GOoW tried it and have liked it.
The Almay shade-matching foundation is a re-introduction of the same product from many years ago. They expanded the shade selection from the original which was just Light/Medium and Medium/Dark if I remember correctly. It also has to be rubbed in with your hands/fingers because it’s the rubbing that breaks the tinted microspheres (or whatever it has) and makes it change color. That said, it’s still going to be patchy and not not look good. I know because I bought it late last summer and it didn’t work on my dry skin either.
Cant even tell you how excited I am for this video!
I would 100% recommend the other shade wet n wild has in there blush/highlight duo! I can’t remember what it’s called but it is my absolute FAVORITE highlight and blush topper
Aaaaaahhhh Target....my love, my light, I get so lost there. Can spend hours there. Thanks for this Taylor 😍
Gorg and you look so great today. I hope you're feeling great too! Wishing you well 💕
Omg Taylor you looked like a Geisha with that foundation! You should do that with make up! 😍
Love your vids. You make everything look so easy.
Girl you rocked that lip crayon I wish that color looked that good on my skin tone. Loved the video girl thanks for sharing 🤗😘
The Almay product I’ve noticed if you mix it on your hand first it works better, but I don’t think it’s shade matching at all.
there are beads in it that burst when you mix an the true color comes out.
It didn’t match my hand at all not even the undertone and I am about the same shade as you are
I agree
The liner (shape and matte finish) looks amazing on you! Love the smudged technique with the liquid liner. Your eyes are extra stunning today! 🖤
