Can I just give a BIG APPRECIATION POST. Going out, researching, buying all of this for our viewing is honestly soooo amazing. Thank you sooo much for all the efforts you put in your work and just wanted to we are so grateful and appreciative ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I totally second your sentiment! Nikki goes above and beyond in all of her content. I trust her recommendations completely as they've always been spot on with what I've tried that she's recommended! I've learned so much about makeup technique since finding her channel! ❤
Thank you for taking one for the team, Nikki! Who among us has the time or the money to road test the range of products you try out and review for us? This video will probably take me another hour to finish. I take notes and if a product really impresses me I will always go to Sephora or the vendor website to purchase. (I can’t get Ulta to work for me. I guess they don’t want me as a customer.) I have a couple of baskets of products I have purchased on your recommendation and am slowly working my way through them. If I didn’t have a full-time desk job I would just test out makeup all day long. But then if I didn’t have a job I wouldn’t need all this glam makeup! Skincare, always, but when it comes to eye makeup I ❤️ shimmer and glitter. Yes, I wear glimmer to work! Subtlety in all things, one of your greatest lessons. And blend, blend, blend. Thank you for all that you do. Your videos are pure fun, a respite from the harsh realities of our world in its current state.
Nikki can you please do a “top 10” of skin tints like you did with you foundations, blush and bronzer videos? It was sooo helpful to narrow it down, I’ve purchased so much from your top videos 😂🤭 I can always trust your recommendations ❤
It’s so hard because we all have different skin types though 😊 This was helpful in helping me rule a heap out but my short list of ones that sound amazing for me is not that short 😩 I have dry skin and like lightweight, buildable formulas with ok wear time. The Rare Beauty, Tower 28, Caliray, Urban Decay, and Dynesa Myricks are my top 5 without breaking the bank. The Ciele, IT cosmetics and Westman Atelier would be on that list too if my budget was bigger lol. I would appreciate any advice from anyone who has tried a couple of these on which they preferred - particularly if their skin needs are similar to mine 😊❤
@@julia_newsome.t I really love all of those skin tints you listed my favorite for sure would be the Urban Decay and Tower28, but you can't go wrong with either or. The Urban Decay is my go to for a dewy/glowy look, while the Tower28 is my go to for a more natural look. (I'm also obsessed with the tower38 concealer )I hope this helps you narrow it down more.
@@Makeupbynikkilarose have you tried TirTir’s skin tint yet? The shade range is very limited- only 3 on Amazon. They says it’s suitable for all skin tones. Another TH-camr made a video recently and it looks really good! SPF 50 too!

It's the best foundation product I've ever used. I'm 65 and I have a good skin rather smooth and not a lot of wrinkles, and it just makes my skin look beautiful and natural.
This is the video I’ve been looking for! I am a dry skin boy who lives in northeast America and I am so glad I purchased your BK beauty set for 20% off on Amazon! Nicki, I am a new subscriber of your channel for the past three months. You’ve been making nothing but reliable, informative, educational very elegant content, and it is so accompanied by your warm soul in your kind of demeanor, please Never keep stop being yourself. Your content is so so needed in our community really helped revive the content on the community!! I learned so much watching your channel even tho I’ve been doing makeup for over 10 years! You and Erin Nicole have been my sources for a long time on TH-cam! Love you! ❤
Okay, I have to say my favorite on the list is the Rose Inc... its a very weird and misunderstood product. You NEED to apply it with a brush the brush bristles break the beads apart and give a super airbrushed finished. It blends into the skin better than the Chanel version. I dont work for them and am not paid to endorse it at all. I recommend using a Sephora 56 brush to apply it. It wears incredible well for oily akin and I always get compliments when I wear it at work. I'm a pro mua with 19 years experience ❤
Thank you, Andrew for validating my experience with it! truly gorgeous when using a brush - I even like to pat it in further with a sponge . I hope she’ll give another try simply because I don’t want her to miss out on how good it is.
100% it must be applied with a brush and it's beautiful! I use the BK beauty 101 and it's flawless, light and hydrating without being greasy. And it's a cleaner product to boot, I think it's lovely and I really enjoy it! I hope Nikki gives it another try as well.
NARS is my absolute favorite. I think the problem is that for most makeup lovers, tinted moisturizers don’t work unless they’re matte because too much makeup is used on too. I always thought of tinted moisturizers as the lazy girl thing. I use the nars, with the hourglass cream blush on top, then top off with the hourglass mascara and ysl lipstick and I’m done, but any time I’ve done a full face, it just didn’t wear well. It’s strange, but that’s my experience
the rose inc tinted serum is genuinely my holy grail 😓 it gives such a natural finish while smoothing out your skin tone and leaves such a nice radiance! You just have to apply it very specifically (downward strokes with a brush), but the finish makes it so worth the fussy application
i’ve used the caliray for a year now and while i agree it’s a fantastic formula, it can be a little rough with texture and pores, and it slides off my oily skin by the end of the day in the summer. looks absolutely amazing for the first few hours though and if you are on top of any oiliness through the day/somewhere with a/c, it stays looking fresh.
The urban decay hydro maniac is my go to. I have severely dry & dehydrated skin so this helps my skin breathe with being sooooo pretty. It’s so natural & lasts all day. I live in a place that’s 99% humidity. Stays on all day.
Nikki, it’s been a long time coming! Ever since you released the UNBEATABLE Foundation Haul, I’ve been looking forward to this video and was hoping you could put it together to help us choose the best complexion products available on the market! I can’t thank you ENOUGH for your honesty, patience, time, and effort. It does not go unnoticed, and I truly RELISH these long videos. From the bottom of my heart: THANK YOU!
Very fair skin tones are NOT catered to in all brands. Light skin tones are. Super pale people are usually left out, and it’s actually very difficult for us to find shade matches. If Ami Cole left out regular light white peoples shades, cool. But saying that pale people are overrepresented is just false.
@@meezle1904no, we’re not. We usually get one pale shade that is wildly yellow or pink, or practically white with the next step down being way darker. It’s totally fine for a black owned brand to focus on deeper skin tones. It’s totally fine to say that white people in general have enough foundation shades. It’s completely inaccurate to say that *pale* people have enough. We don’t.
“Regular light white people skin tones” means white people WHO ARE NOT PALE. As in average white people skin colors. Go pick a fight with someone else.
Omg! I really adore your channel, specially this kind of videos, your massive work telling us your opinion about each product and swatching it on you…. That give us a massive idea about how the product works. It represents so many hours of dedication that is hard to see these days, so thank you from the bottom of my ❤! Big kisses from Portugal
The Nars Pure Radiant is one of my favourites. I have dry skin. It has perfect wear-time on me and NEVER settles into fine lines and wrinkles... 😎✌🏼💜💜💜💜🇬🇧
Rose Inc applies beautifully with the BK Beauty 101 brush, much better than fingers and it's actually quite a beautiful finish. You're correct though, with fingers it's a mess for me too! I do, however enjoy it though when applied with a brush. Thank you for your content...always enjoy and I LOVE YOUR BRUSHES! I have three of your Nikki sets!! ❤
One super convenient thing for me is that I also have combination to oily skin so if Nikki loves a product for her own complexion I can be pretty confident it will work on mine!
Hi Nikki!! This video is INCREDIBLE! I’m probably the only person that LOVES the Rose Inc Tinted Serum 😂 when applied with their brush and then blotted in with a dry beauty blender it creates an even, beautiful glow from within finish that works even on my grease slick skin. I highly recommend giving it another try with that technique.
Ami Colé is a black owned brand geared towards us black folks, so I'm guessing these particular six shades in the tint was a very intentional decision.
It looks like such a beautiful formula!! I’d never heard of this brand…I’ll be googling it soon to see what other products they have. I’d love to support them!!❤
@@Plum_bird yeah it looked fine, but For one black brand, there are probably 100 other brands that will cater to white/fair/ super-lighter skin tones. Don't tell a black brand to do better with lighter shades. Are you serious?
For the It Cosmetics: QVC usually has great buys on these products, and I love that the creator made this to help with her own rosacea-prone skin. It’s really a good line!
I can't stop staring at your eyeshadow, love the sparkle! What are you using?? Just finished the video, really appreciate all your testing here. I've had my eyes on a few of these for a while
The Ciele one is my go to right now so I am so happy you liked it. I go back and forth between it and TirTir. Thanks so much for the honest review of everything. Very helpful and very appreciated.
Soo interesting the Rose inc is my ride or die. It makes my skin so glowy and I always feel it looks flawless on my face whenever I use it. Perhaps it’s the different colour pigments per shade. I also use a beauty blender. I was so sad to hear I may not get it anymore. So definitely loved seeing this video to get other options!
Wow! I was really shocked at your review of Ilia serum. I find it goes on my face DRY and hard to spread. I then found if I mix it with a light moisturizer before applying, it looks beautiful and not too shiny at all! I guess I have dry skin, but it never feels tight and it never flakes. I often forget to use moisturizer at night. I’m 74 years old and people ask me often what beautiful skincare I’m using. I will be trying some of your suggestions for dry skin, but for now, Ilia is my all-time favorite!!
Nikki, You are such an amazing Beauty Content Creator. I cannot thank you enough for going out and beyond in bringing such amazing content. To once again go out and purchase every skin tint at Sephora ( which had to take a lot of time) , I cannot thank you enough for your in depth demos of each one. You’re the Best Sweetie. You amaze me! Much love, Karla
I'm late to the party an just learning how to do my makeup. This video helped me soooo much! Thank you so much! I am an oily girl so it was amazing listening to your HONEST opinion on how products will look on our type of skin. Thank you girly!!
This must have taken a lot of time and work to out this together for us Nikki. I love and respect you so much. Many MUAs tell us what to buy. You are so honest and because of that you save us a lot of money. Thank you thank you thank you.
Thanks so much for doing this video. I have really oily skin so this helped me tremendously to find tints that will work with my needs and still look great.
From one oily girl to another, THANK YOU for taking the time to do this! I've been coming through reviews for weeks, trying to decide which one will work best for me. Now I have it narrowed down to about 5 good options 🙌🏼
Wow, wowza. This was so incredibly thorough, concise, and beyond helpful! This is a video I will continually reference for years to come. Thank you so much, Nikki!!!
I really really love your videos and was waiting for you to upload a video on skin tints since so long. I was overjoyed when I saw your video in my feed. Thanks alot.
This video is going in my permanent bookmarks! I have already purchased one of the products and will continue to try out ones that fit for my skin. Unbelievably comprehensive and so helpful!!!
This video was great. Tinted moisturizer is exactly what I’m looking for. Excited to try Laura Mercier oil free and Estee Lauder Futurist. Love your videos!❤
Thank you for this video. I struggle with dry skin and still have not found a product that works for me, as my skin has changed yet again, and have had many fails. I am excited to try some of these products. There is light at the end of the aging tunnel!
Thanks for this video. This is one that I will rewatch everytime I need some guidance when purchasing skin tinted moisturizers. Btw- loooving your eye makeup- the glittery eyeshadow makes your eyes pop
I'm so glad you love the Urban Decay hydromaniac foundation!!! I have normal to dry skin and this is the one foundation I would buy if I could only have one. I think it is SO underrated.
Thank you so much for this video! Seriously! In the cooler months, I don’t wear a full coverage foundation because my skin gets so dry and it seems like every foundation I wear looks cakey. Based on your review of the UD Hydromaniac tinted glow hydrator, I have found my perfect “foundation/ tinted moisturizer”. This stuff is amazing! Blends out beautifully with a nice glow and enough coverage to hide my mild rosacea. You saved my face and my bank account with this video! Thank you Nikki! 🥰
I have dry skin and I recently bought the Fenty hydra vizor huez tinted moisturiser and I am in love with it!!! If you have dry skin, just go and try it and see how it feels. I sometimes use it as a base before applying my foundation.
I always watch your entire video, and I hugely appreciate your willingness to do these tests. Right now I'm eyeing both the Fenty skin tint since I have oily/mature skin, and the Ciele. I've been using the original It Cosmetics CC cream for over a year and like it, but that matte formula sounds much better to me, so that's a contender too. I'm a complexion products junkie, always looking for that "perfect" product for my skin, so thank you for the recommendations. I know they'll save me money in the long run.
I love your necklace! So hard to find cute silver jewelry. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I’ve tried so many tints and I have combo skin. I feel like they are either too glowy or just don’t like until I bought the Ciele. I love it! Such a helpful video!❤❤❤
I have a strong affinity for the Nars and bareMinerals options, which have proven to be exceptional 🤗 I'm a 46 with a complex skin type that's both combination and sensitive, requiring careful attention 🥴
The Nars and UD are my faves! I have drier skin and I’ve always loved how Nars wears on me! I’ve used it for almost 3yrs and ONE bottle lasted me over 2yrs!!! I use the UD as a foundation and it’s my perfect shade match! I have the same shades as you (shade twins but I’m a neutral 💗) I’m sad Nars didn’t work for you!
Thank you so much for posting this! I ended up getting the Hourglass skin tint and it’s fantastic for my sensitive, dry skin. And I feel like it lasts all day for me and I loooooove how light weight it feels! Love feeling like I don’t have a mask of make up on. 💄
I looooooove her big hauls and detailed reviews! So, so much! I’m from another generation where that’s what YT was for. The information, Thank you Niki! Do 👏 not 👏 ever 👏 stop 👏
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO !!!!!!! i can’t even imagine the amount of time & effort that went into making this video for us :,,) i’ve been wanting to try a skin tint, but i’m not very makeup savvy & have never even worn foundation. i had absolutely no idea where to start…… now i do !!! thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏
Thank you for this video! I bought the Estee Lauder Hydratint and felt the same way - looks pretty on, hard to blend in without streaks but then sets into pores A LOT which I don’t even usually have an issue with! I had to return it
These videos are so great! I didn't know the IT Cosmetics products were reformulated. I may try them again. I am also interested in Rare Beauty, Caliray, Tower 28, and Ciele. I tend to use tinted sunscreens, so I am excited about these. I appreciate you, Nikki. Thanks❤
I watched the entire video and learned so much. I’ve narrowed my choices down to a couple. It was so helpful that you demonstrated each of the products. Thank you! Love your channel!
Not even 20 minutes in and I’m already loving this video. I appreciate you for acknowledging that it’s ok for Ami Cole to cater more to melanin rich tones since the majority of brands out there don’t always extend their ranges. Your ability to see that and note it didn’t go unnoticed. You’re amazing at what you do!! Ok, back to the video now 😂
Wow! Super helpful video! I have combo skin leaning more oily, and would’ve probably gotten something that’s not the best for my skin type! You’ve quickly became one of my top faves to watch! Thank you!❤️
Thank you so much Nikki!! I have dry skin. I am currently using the Fenty Hydro Visor Tinted moisturizer. I have had many compliments how great my skin looks. I really do like the Urban Decay Hydromaniac tinted hydrator. I definitely want to try the Ciele and the Caliray. I value your opinion so much! Love you so much Nikki.
Wow! I hung in until the end and thank you for reviewing ALL of these! I’d just bought the bare minerals complexion rescue on prime day and I’m liking it so far! Want to try the Estée Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue.
I just absolutely love your videos. They are so informative and interesting and such a comfort to watch. Thank you so much for all the effort you put into them! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hii Nikki!! I am such a HUGE fan of YOU & your videos. Your transparency, kindness & humbleness is so refreshing and your techniques & how you have advice for all skin types and ages are extremely impressive, helpful and easy to follow! Congratulations on your brushes too! THEY ARE TOP NOTCH! I have 2 whole sets and LOVE THEM! thank you again for all you do!! I am torn between buying & trying out the iconic, tower 28 or Ami Cole. I have combo leaning oily skin but I live in Miami where it’s excruciating hot and humid. Please help!!! THANK YOU!
I watched the entire video, liked it and added several skin tints to my cart. I was hoping youtried the Lemur, thanks for saving me money. Id love to see Lisa Eldridge tint
The Rose Inc. Skin tint is a holy grail for me! ❤ you have to use a brush to crush the beads and then apply it to your face. It has a beautiful finish and feels very hydrating (but not oily/greasy), especially in the winter. Thank you for this amazing video too btw! I love these videos
I have very dry skin but I can't stand the feeling of a base that doesn't dry down so I appreciate you mentioning that. I think some TH-camrs assume that those of us with dry skin love a wet shiny finish.
Thank you for taking the time out to do this. If you have time, it would be great to see your top three for oily skin for dry skin, etc. I will say I did not care for the Fenty hydravisor. I felt like it was mask like on me, I haven’t tried that super goop, but I did try the glow tinted sunscreen and boy is that overly glowy
Oh, I have been waiting a video like this because I have been struggling to find a skin tint for my skin type. So, so helpful! Thank you for making this video! ❤️👏
I absolutely love this series that you're doing with testing all of the products! I've been keeping a list of all the products you recommend that I'm already interested in. These really are my favorites and are very educational! Thank you for making them for us to watch and learn!
love love love all your review on this - Nikki there is no one on the market that does reviews like you do. we appreciate your honest reviews and wonderful work Mitch putting this together! its looks amazing... I didnt realized how long it was bc it went by fast!
Hi Nikki! How do you remove your foundation between swatches? What do you put on your cheek, if anything, to prep before your next swatch? How long did it take to film this video?
Nikki I was an It Cosmetics brand rep for years and LOVE their products through and through (as well as their brushes)! I totally agree with your thoughts and opinions on the different formulas. I used to hear a lot of people complaining about the thickness in consistency with the matte CC cream in addition to the original CC cream but here’s the trick-less is more! Use way less than you think you need and it blends beautifully with a brush or even with fingers. Same goes for their concealer. It actually does work very well but simply use much less.
Nikki, this is an amazing video. Thank you so…o much for such a sterling effort. This really must have taken you and Mitch such a massive effort from filing to editing to upload a 2.5 hr video. ❤ Thank you for always uploading such unique, friendly, informative and expert content for free. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much for this video. I mostly use tints and they are not all the same. I am very dry and I must say that most radiant products end up satin or matt on me. Saie is one of my most used for the fresh healthy skin look, and it lasts. When it disappears it's never patchy.

@@meezle1904”regular light white people shades” means shades for white people WHO ARE NOT PALE. Go pick a fight with someone else.
Your bare skin is absolutely gorgeous 🤩
Omg! I really adore your channel, specially this kind of videos, your massive work telling us your opinion about each product and swatching it on you…. That give us a massive idea about how the product works. It represents so many hours of dedication that is hard to see these days, so thank you from the bottom of my ❤! Big kisses from Portugal
@@82Lexana thank you so much for watching and for the love!! Sending a huge to you in Portugal !!
These long format Sephora videos are the only reason I go to the gym. 😂 Thank you Nikki! ❤
My favorite thing to watch during cardio!
I just stretched Nikki!! Ready for this skin tint marathon, and thank you!! ❤❤❤
@@safrica229 hahhahahah 😂😂😂 LOVE YOU!!
@@Makeupbynikkilarose 🤣❤️
I don’t see the Beauty Blender skin tint on here😢, and it might the best one in existence❤
The Nars Pure Radiant is one of my favourites. I have dry skin. It has perfect wear-time on me and NEVER settles into fine lines and wrinkles... 😎✌🏼💜💜💜💜🇬🇧
Rose Inc applies beautifully with the BK Beauty 101 brush, much better than fingers and it's actually quite a beautiful finish. You're correct though, with fingers it's a mess for me too! I do, however enjoy it though when applied with a brush. Thank you for your content...always enjoy and I LOVE YOUR BRUSHES! I have three of your Nikki sets!! ❤
@@margocrawford9239 this is really helpful to hear! Thank you for letting me know! And oh my gosh! That’s AMAZING!!!!! Thank you for the love!!!!
One super convenient thing for me is that I also have combination to oily skin so if Nikki loves a product for her own complexion I can be pretty confident it will work on mine!
This is probably thee absolute best makeup review video Ive ever seen on YT. The thoroughness and the amount of products you tested! Amazing!
Hi Nikki!! This video is INCREDIBLE! I’m probably the only person that LOVES the Rose Inc Tinted Serum 😂 when applied with their brush and then blotted in with a dry beauty blender it creates an even, beautiful glow from within finish that works even on my grease slick skin. I highly recommend giving it another try with that technique.
Ami Colé is a black owned brand geared towards us black folks, so I'm guessing these particular six shades in the tint was a very intentional decision.
Even so , it looked beautiful on Nikki’s skin and would also be great for anyone that matches the shades, much like any complexion product.
It looks like such a beautiful formula!! I’d never heard of this brand…I’ll be googling it soon to see what other products they have. I’d love to support them!!❤
@@Plum_bird yeah it looked fine, but For one black brand, there are probably 100 other brands that will cater to white/fair/ super-lighter skin tones. Don't tell a black brand to do better with lighter shades. Are you serious?
@@lesliehatch-herman9325black/POC brands need support and exposure 👍🏾
@@lifeonabudget8513People frequently, and I mean frequently, complain that Korean brands should offer more deep shades.
For the It Cosmetics: QVC usually has great buys on these products, and I love that the creator made this to help with her own rosacea-prone skin. It’s really a good line!
They have a supersize that’s 2.5 ounces that I always repurchase!
I use and love the Glossier skin tint. Foundation scares me and this I just squeeze out and use it and it blurs beautifully!
Omg YES!!! Been waiting for this video! And I LOVE your reviews!! Can not wait to dig in!!
*grabs coffee*
I can't stop staring at your eyeshadow, love the sparkle! What are you using?? Just finished the video, really appreciate all your testing here. I've had my eyes on a few of these for a while
The Ciele one is my go to right now so I am so happy you liked it. I go back and forth between it and TirTir. Thanks so much for the honest review of everything. Very helpful and very appreciated.
Soo interesting the Rose inc is my ride or die. It makes my skin so glowy and I always feel it looks flawless on my face whenever I use it. Perhaps it’s the different colour pigments per shade. I also use a beauty blender. I was so sad to hear I may not get it anymore. So definitely loved seeing this video to get other options!
I ❤ the Rose Inc. Skin Tint. I use the #47 Sephora Pro Foundation brush with it.
Wow! I was really shocked at your review of Ilia serum. I find it goes on my face DRY and hard to spread. I then found if I mix it with a light moisturizer before applying, it looks beautiful and not too shiny at all! I guess I have dry skin, but it never feels tight and it never flakes. I often forget to use moisturizer at night. I’m 74 years old and people ask me often what beautiful skincare I’m using. I will be trying some of your suggestions for dry skin, but for now, Ilia is my all-time favorite!!
Yay! Thanks for all your hard work, honest reviews, & positive energy! You & your channel is a ray of light in these crazy times. ❤
Love your videos Nikki and this skin tint video is no exception. Would love you to do a skin care video
Nikki, You are such an amazing Beauty Content Creator. I cannot thank you enough for going out and beyond in bringing such amazing content. To once again go out and purchase every skin tint at Sephora ( which had to take a lot of time) , I cannot thank you enough for your in depth demos of each one. You’re the Best Sweetie. You amaze me! Much love, Karla
I'm late to the party an just learning how to do my makeup. This video helped me soooo much! Thank you so much! I am an oily girl so it was amazing listening to your HONEST opinion on how products will look on our type of skin. Thank you girly!!
This must have taken a lot of time and work to out this together for us Nikki. I love and respect you so much. Many MUAs tell us what to buy. You are so honest and because of that you save us a lot of money. Thank you thank you thank you.
Thanks so much for doing this video. I have really oily skin so this helped me tremendously to find tints that will work with my needs and still look great.
Thank you for such a comprehensive and honest comparison.
OH MY GOSH- Michelle, thank you so so much!!!!!!🥹❤️❤️❤️
the ombre eyeliner look you're wearing is FAB!!!
Thank you thank you!!! For all these that you do for us!!!!!! 💖💖💖🔥🔥✨✨💜 could you do the drugstore version of skin tints??? Thank you!!!!!
Oh the Beauty Blender skin tint is also really gorgeous!! Wears all day on my oily acne prone skin
This skin tint is a holy grail ❤it
I agree! The beauty blender and the urban decay tinted moisturizers are insanely high coverage and beautiful 😻
Did they discontinue this one?? It’s my favorite too
@@AndrewCarterBeauty oh no I thought they were discontinuing that one?! So I didn’t pick it up!
I wonder if it’s being reformulated?? Most shades are still available at the kohls and beauty blender websites, but it’s sold out at Sephora.
Miss Nikki I have been waiting for such a long time for your opinion on various tinted moisturizer. Thankyou so so much
From one oily girl to another, THANK YOU for taking the time to do this! I've been coming through reviews for weeks, trying to decide which one will work best for me. Now I have it narrowed down to about 5 good options 🙌🏼
Wow, wowza. This was so incredibly thorough, concise, and beyond helpful! This is a video I will continually reference for years to come. Thank you so much, Nikki!!!
I really really love your videos and was waiting for you to upload a video on skin tints since so long. I was overjoyed when I saw your video in my feed. Thanks alot.
I LOVE your content and energy, Nikki ❤ I’m not even a makeup wearer but I love your channel for when I do try to wear it! You have the best vibe!
This video is going in my permanent bookmarks! I have already purchased one of the products and will continue to try out ones that fit for my skin. Unbelievably comprehensive and so helpful!!!
This video was great. Tinted moisturizer is exactly what I’m looking for. Excited to try Laura Mercier oil free and Estee Lauder Futurist. Love your videos!❤
Thank you for this video. I struggle with dry skin and still have not found a product that works for me, as my skin has changed yet again, and have had many fails. I am excited to try some of these products. There is light at the end of the aging tunnel!
The tower 28 one is sooooo pretty! Also their concealer is amazing. They are a great brand
Thanks for this video. This is one that I will rewatch everytime I need some guidance when purchasing skin tinted moisturizers. Btw- loooving your eye makeup- the glittery eyeshadow makes your eyes pop
How serendipitous! I've been trying to figure out what skin tint to pick up 🤔
@@Ryanneey yay!! I hope this helps!
I'm so glad you love the Urban Decay hydromaniac foundation!!! I have normal to dry skin and this is the one foundation I would buy if I could only have one. I think it is SO underrated.
Thank you so much for this video! Seriously! In the cooler months, I don’t wear a full coverage foundation because my skin gets so dry and it seems like every foundation I wear looks cakey. Based on your review of the UD Hydromaniac tinted glow hydrator, I have found my perfect “foundation/ tinted moisturizer”. This stuff is amazing! Blends out beautifully with a nice glow and enough coverage to hide my mild rosacea. You saved my face and my bank account with this video! Thank you Nikki! 🥰
I have dry skin and I recently bought the Fenty hydra vizor huez tinted moisturiser and I am in love with it!!! If you have dry skin, just go and try it and see how it feels. I sometimes use it as a base before applying my foundation.
I always watch your entire video, and I hugely appreciate your willingness to do these tests. Right now I'm eyeing both the Fenty skin tint since I have oily/mature skin, and the Ciele. I've been using the original It Cosmetics CC cream for over a year and like it, but that matte formula sounds much better to me, so that's a contender too. I'm a complexion products junkie, always looking for that "perfect" product for my skin, so thank you for the recommendations. I know they'll save me money in the long run.
I love your necklace! So hard to find cute silver jewelry. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I’ve tried so many tints and I have combo skin. I feel like they are either too glowy or just don’t like until I bought the Ciele. I love it! Such a helpful video!❤❤❤
I have a strong affinity for the Nars and bareMinerals options, which have proven to be exceptional 🤗 I'm a 46 with a complex skin type that's both combination and sensitive, requiring careful attention 🥴
❤ this for summer! My fav is the Estée Lauder hydra tint, the finish is wow. 💗
The Nars and UD are my faves! I have drier skin and I’ve always loved how Nars wears on me! I’ve used it for almost 3yrs and ONE bottle lasted me over 2yrs!!! I use the UD as a foundation and it’s my perfect shade match! I have the same shades as you (shade twins but I’m a neutral 💗) I’m sad Nars didn’t work for you!
Thank you so much for posting this! I ended up getting the Hourglass skin tint and it’s fantastic for my sensitive, dry skin. And I feel like it lasts all day for me and I loooooove how light weight it feels! Love feeling like I don’t have a mask of make up on. 💄
I looooooove her big hauls and detailed reviews! So, so much! I’m from another generation where that’s what YT was for. The information,
Thank you Niki! Do 👏 not 👏 ever 👏 stop 👏
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO !!!!!!! i can’t even imagine the amount of time & effort that went into making this video for us :,,) i’ve been wanting to try a skin tint, but i’m not very makeup savvy & have never even worn foundation. i had absolutely no idea where to start…… now i do !!! thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏
Ciele is AMAZING!! They also make a bronzing/ contour stick, powder & LIQUID blush, ALL with MINERAL SPF!! Wears beautifully & stays all day!!
Thank you for this video! I bought the Estee Lauder Hydratint and felt the same way - looks pretty on, hard to blend in without streaks but then sets into pores A LOT which I don’t even usually have an issue with! I had to return it
girly i think there’s a mistake with the timestamps
@@regresaperry yes I agree
There is...each one mentions a blush.
very confusing
Seems to be fixed now!
Blame it on Mitch duh
I love that you were able to give us info on wear tests! Awesome video 🤍💜
These videos are so great! I didn't know the IT Cosmetics products were reformulated. I may try them again. I am also interested in Rare Beauty, Caliray, Tower 28, and Ciele. I tend to use tinted sunscreens, so I am excited about these. I appreciate you, Nikki. Thanks❤
I watched the entire video and learned so much. I’ve narrowed my choices down to a couple. It was so helpful that you demonstrated each of the products. Thank you! Love your channel!
Not even 20 minutes in and I’m already loving this video. I appreciate you for acknowledging that it’s ok for Ami Cole to cater more to melanin rich tones since the majority of brands out there don’t always extend their ranges. Your ability to see that and note it didn’t go unnoticed. You’re amazing at what you do!! Ok, back to the video now 😂
Wow! Super helpful video! I have combo skin leaning more oily, and would’ve probably gotten something that’s not the best for my skin type! You’ve quickly became one of my top faves to watch! Thank you!❤️
Thank you so much Nikki!! I have dry skin. I am currently using the Fenty Hydro Visor Tinted moisturizer. I have had many compliments how great my skin looks. I really do like the Urban Decay Hydromaniac tinted hydrator. I definitely want to try the Ciele and the Caliray. I value your opinion so much! Love you so much Nikki.
Wow! I hung in until the end and thank you for reviewing ALL of these! I’d just bought the bare minerals complexion rescue on prime day and I’m liking it so far! Want to try the Estée Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue.
@@cheryllaws4908 oh you are a true legend for watching the whole video. THANK YOU!!!!!!
Love your content ❤ you’re so informative. Please do a “how to chose your concealer shade” soon 😭🥲💕
I just absolutely love your videos. They are so informative and interesting and such a comfort to watch. Thank you so much for all the effort you put into them! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love this! I also hope you can do a run of drugstore skin tint 😊❤
Yes, please!!
Hii Nikki!! I am such a HUGE fan of YOU & your videos. Your transparency, kindness & humbleness is so refreshing and your techniques & how you have advice for all skin types and ages are extremely impressive, helpful and easy to follow! Congratulations on your brushes too! THEY ARE TOP NOTCH! I have 2 whole sets and LOVE THEM! thank you again for all you do!!
I am torn between buying & trying out the iconic, tower 28 or Ami Cole. I have combo leaning oily skin but I live in Miami where it’s excruciating hot and humid. Please help!!! THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for trying all of the IT cosmetic cc’s! I love the nude glow and now im excited to try the illuminating version.
Yes! Me too
Nikki could u do a drugstore haul ? I love the wet n wild tinted moisturizer and the mabelline skin tint.
I watched the entire video, liked it and added several skin tints to my cart. I was hoping youtried the Lemur, thanks for saving me money. Id love to see Lisa Eldridge tint
The Rose Inc. Skin tint is a holy grail for me! ❤ you have to use a brush to crush the beads and then apply it to your face. It has a beautiful finish and feels very hydrating (but not oily/greasy), especially in the winter.
Thank you for this amazing video too btw! I love these videos
I have very dry skin but I can't stand the feeling of a base that doesn't dry down so I appreciate you mentioning that. I think some TH-camrs assume that those of us with dry skin love a wet shiny finish.
Thank you Nikki! I love all these comparison videos. And I take your recommendations all the time!
Thank you for taking the time out to do this. If you have time, it would be great to see your top three for oily skin for dry skin, etc. I will say I did not care for the Fenty hydravisor. I felt like it was mask like on me, I haven’t tried that super goop, but I did try the glow tinted sunscreen and boy is that overly glowy
Oh, I have been waiting a video like this because I have been struggling to find a skin tint for my skin type. So, so helpful! Thank you for making this video! ❤️👏
I absolutely love this series that you're doing with testing all of the products! I've been keeping a list of all the products you recommend that I'm already interested in.
These really are my favorites and are very educational! Thank you for making them for us to watch and learn!
love love love all your review on this - Nikki there is no one on the market that does reviews like you do. we appreciate your honest reviews and wonderful work Mitch putting this together! its looks amazing... I didnt realized how long it was bc it went by fast!
Hi Nikki! How do you remove your foundation between swatches? What do you put on your cheek, if anything, to prep before your next swatch? How long did it take to film this video?
Ooohhhhhh thank you thank you thank you! I can’t wait to watch. I have several already and I’m sure I’m going to get another after watching this. 😂
With my dry skin I'm excited to try the urban decay and tower 28! ❤ Thanks for this video Nikki and all the thought and effort you put in!
I have dry skin and the tower 28 is one of my favs!
Nikki you are so amazing!!!! You truly irradiate that love for what you do.
Nikki I was an It Cosmetics brand rep for years and LOVE their products through and through (as well as their brushes)! I totally agree with your thoughts and opinions on the different formulas. I used to hear a lot of people complaining about the thickness in consistency with the matte CC cream in addition to the original CC cream but here’s the trick-less is more! Use way less than you think you need and it blends beautifully with a brush or even with fingers. Same goes for their concealer. It actually does work very well but simply use much less.
Nikki, this is an amazing video. Thank you so…o much for such a sterling effort. This really must have taken you and Mitch such a massive effort from filing to editing to upload a 2.5 hr video. ❤ Thank you for always uploading such unique, friendly, informative and expert content for free. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much for this video. I mostly use tints and they are not all the same. I am very dry and I must say that most radiant products end up satin or matt on me. Saie is one of my most used for the fresh healthy skin look, and it lasts. When it disappears it's never patchy.
