I am 70. I use the ELF putty primer around my lip line, and on my lips. (Be sparing, give it a moment to dry down - which it wont.) Maybe it’s my imagination, but I think it helps keep lines from bleeding, an aids in colors lasting longer. 🤷♀️
Yes! I did not like the L'Oreal Lash Paradise mascara at all. I do not like super wet mascaras because for me they get absolutely everywhere and I can't stand it. I have to scrape so much of it off the wand before I put it on my eyes, and it got super annoying. It's hyped a lot though, and it's supposed to be a dupe for the Better than Sex mascara, but I don't like it
I feel the same way about Lash Princess (green). It was so raved about that I ordered a 3pk on Amazon bc no stores sell Essence near me and my first tube is still in a makeup bag somewhere. The other two are brand new. It's too clumpy for my liking and I usually like drier mascara formula.
Your videos are unique and fun..Thank you for reading the room and taking ideas from your viewers..You are genuine and not here for the fame and money. It shows, love supporting channels like these...
Oh boy, here we go. Revlon ColorStay foundation: should just be called "suffocation in a bottle." Yes, it's full-coverage af. I can also FEEL it sitting on my skin the entire day. It is not oil-controlling on me at all and looks rank after ~4 hours. And as a parting gift, it ALWAYS breaks me out on my chin after only one wear. MAC Pro Longwear concealer: has all of the characteristics of the above. It also grabs onto mascara like no other concealer I've ever used. No amount of powder would fix it. The only mascaras that didn't raccoon-eye on me with this concealer were tubing ones. Urban Decay setting sprays, esp. All Nighter and De-Slick: did absolutely nothing for me and cost a stupid amount of money. I've used setting sprays from e.l.f., Nyx, and Milani that were much better. Technically body care, but I do not understand why everyone goes crazy over the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream. It smells like Bath & Body Works' warm vanilla sugar mixed with sunscreen. It doesn't do anything special for my skin and doesn't hold in moisture well, though I will give it credit for being non-greasy and sinking in quickly. But I expect more than that for the ridiculous price you pay for a fairly small jar.
Wow! Really?! I love the original color stay! I use the oily combination one and I don't get full coverage at all! I get light to light medium coverage. That's fascinating.
That bum bum cream smells cheap. And it's so strong! I don't want to smell like cheap vanilla coconut! I don't understand all the people who rave about it.
I place the highlight like blush first, then I put a blush on top - it's a reverse process and it seems to give me a natural glow that turns out really pretty
I tried IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer and didn't like the way it looked under my eyes. I found it creased and went into fine lines. No matter how little I used. Felt drying too. Also I didn't think Benefit The POREfessional Pore Minimizing Primer did much. The ELF Blush Quad that came out some time ago wasn't my fav either. I found them to hard to blend in and tone down. Here are just a few. But I have had other products that everyone loved that I found just didn't work for me no matter what I did. Love your videos Zabrena. 😊💕
The ELF putty primer (made me oily), Tarte shape tape concealer (too drying, I like the hydrating one tho!), Nyx butter glosses (Nyx always puts overwhelming fragrance in their lip products!) These are 3 viral products I didn't like for me!
Hello Zabrena! The next video idea is amazing! One of the products that went viral and everyone loves except for me is the Essence princess mascara...it looks great on my lashes for about 4 and half minutes and then it flakes and smudges all over me. Racoon eyes anyone? The other one is the L'Oréal Hyaluronic Serum foundation. My goodness this looks amazing in my skin for about 12 minutes and then it starts drying out my face and looking like I need a couple of bags of saline solution via IV! Thanks! 😊
Omg that L'Oreal foundation made my skin look like I was 80 years old (no offense to anyone who is 80, but I'm only 49! 😂) Hands down the WORST base product I have EVER put on my face. I was speechless, no joke. And I hear the new Maybelline one is just as bad.
Yes to BOTH. I still have a new bottle of the serum foundation that i refuse to give up on. I continue to use less and less amounts hoping to find that "sweet spot". I think pretty soon I'm just going to get to the point of waving it around my face lol
I couldn't make Tarte Shape Tape work for me. At first, it goes on beautifully. Then it creases like crazy and my undereyes get drier than the Sahara Desert
I LOVE the Wet n Wild Peach Bum blush!!! I also put a small dot of it in the middle of my lips to add a little shimmer to them as well! Everyone seems to love the Covergirl foundation with the red cap..... and it looked horrible on my skin. The threw it away!!
People seem to adore the ELF Halo Glow Liquid Filter. I do need to give it more chances, but so far it feels too heavy on my skin to ever want to put a foundation over it (and when I tried it didn't look the best) yet even the lightest color is noticeably too dark for me to want to wear it as just a glowy foundation.
This was a great video! The NYX Bare With Me Serum Concealer is a product that has never worked for me. It emphasizes all my fine lines so it gives my under eyes a weird look of being dehydrated but also dewy.
I didn’t like the Bare a with Me at first, but when I use the very smallest of amounts of it it works out great. If you haven’t decluttered it you might try using the smallest tiny amount and see it it works for 🤷🏻♀️you
Every one loves the elf bite size eyeshadow quads. Ugh! I've tried them 3 times and they fall apart on me. I use a gentle hand and the fallout is awful. They muddy on my eyes and I have given up on them.
The wet n wild tinted hydrator is the one that everyone loves except for me! I feel like it just sits in my pores and looks terrible. I keep trying to like it, playing around with different primers, or trying to put less on, or more, but it just never works for me
The Maybelline Age Rewind concealer looked terrible on me and I HATED the applicator so I threw it out. But then I started to doubt myself because everyone else loved it, so I bought another one, and…nope I’m not crazy. It still looked horrible on me. 😑
Couldn't stand that gross sponge either for starters, and on top of that it covers absolutely nothing! And I don't even have really bad discoloration under my eyes! I can't imagine HOW it works for anyone with severe dark circles. Oh and the FitMe concealer was just as bad! The only concealers that work for me from the drugstore are the L'Oreal one that's like a Shape Tape dupe, Elf hydrating camo, and the new Physicians Formula Butter one with the annoying sponge on top. Luckily it also has a doe foot applicator, those sponges are an absolute nightmare lol.
Try taking the sponge tip off, and dispensing it onto your finger… blend with your finger, or whatever you use for your concealer. Game changer for me with that stuff.
Gosh the L'Oreal infallible fresh wear 24hr foundation everyone seemed to love it and no matter what I did it just looked terrible on me. Flakey and patchy and settled into my smiles lines almost instantly. But great video love the next concept. ❤
I would love to see a k-beauty video from YesStyle! They have so many interesting products from Asian brands and it's fun to shop and discover new makeup styles!
This was fun! To answer your last question, the one thing everyone loves but doesn’t seem to work on me is the Milani lipstick in the cute quilted tube. I have the color petal. It’s so pretty and I love the packaging, but for some reason the formula looks bad on me. It seems to enhance every bit of dry skin, even if I exfoliate my lips before! Very frustrating.
The elf roller lash. Everyone seems to love it but it does nothing for my lashes. I dug it out one more time today actually to give it one more shot. Still an epic fail for me sadly.
It is delicate mascara. I need more volume, so since I already have it, I have been using the Maybelline Sky Limit Primer then the Lash and Roll. That primer is so good and can help out most mascaras.
The L'Oreal Magic Perfecting base is my FAVORITE 😍 it fills in my for real! The Essence mascaras on me: trash 🗑️. What a great video idea, thanks for sharing doll ✌🏾🥰
The ELF Power Grip Primer! 😬I distinctly remember using it, thinking things would be fine, and literally mopping up grease from my face less than 4 hours later. It didn't grip my makeup at all!
I LOVE the idea of a show on "Everyone loves this but ME!" May I suggest the Pacifica Dream Lit Concealer? EVERYONE loves this, but it disappeared into my fine lines and attracted mascara like a magnet. I NEVER return stuff, but I returned this.
What an absolutely beautiful outcome!! And off the top of my head; a recent product that went viral is the L'oreal Telescopic Mascara. To me, it's just any regular mascara there's nothing special to it but everyone seems to get better results than I have!
Zabrena, you're so creative with your themes for makeup videos! I watched this before I even got out of bed Saturday morning. You are my go-to drugstore product goddess!
Tried both formulas of the ELF concealers and didn’t care for them. Besides struggling to find a good shade match, it felt too heavy and full coverage. Same story with the NYX concealer serum.
These two products aren’t “make up” but lip balm. 1. EOS lip balm 2. Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm. Both of these products dry my lips out so bad. I’ve tried doing a lip scrubs or masks before applying these products and still they don’t work.
Hi Zabrena, thanks for this - it’s making me reassess my own stash! A quick plea - could you PLEASE let us know the foundation and concealer shades you use in all of your videos, please? I’m a pale skin redhead too and find shade selection really difficult, especially drugstore or online where you can’t get samples. The whole thing is made worse in the UK as we cannot return makeup 😢. My foundation graveyard is full of my mistakes.
Everyone love’s Colourpop eyeshadows and I don’t! They don’t last long on my eyes and some blend away or are patchy. Also the formula changes on the palettes after having them for only a few months.
Hi Zabrena I absolutely loved this video! Thank you for mentioning me and for the great tip on sharpening the tip of the ELF row pencil. Oh yes ! I have a product that everyone loves including YOU but it never worked for me.. That is the Catrice True Skin Concealer. This creases on me no matter how little or how much I apply. I tried it again this week after I watched your concealer battle video and no sir! Still creases. Maybe I need a fresh tube? 😅
Hi zabrena I sharpen my elf brow product with a old lip liner sharpener . You know the ones that are at the end of cream lip liners. Works great but seams to eat up the brow product.😊
Things I used to hate: Cooler purple-gray eyeshadow tones. Turns out, after wondering for years why everything looked too warm on me, that I’m suited to somewhat cooler tones. The sephora collection eyeshadow (i think discontinued now😢) in Hurricane Wave is my favorite. My bottle of KVD lock it foundation: it always came out looking chalky. I discovered i can mix it with my subscreen face milk or just my sunscreen or face moisturizer and it looks FANTASTIC. Still dries down mostly matte, but doesn’t look powdery or heavy. The nyx epic ink eyeliner used to make me sooooo mad. Now i just dab it a bit on a paper towel to get off the excess and it’s fantastic.
For me, the one product that everyone was talking about that I hated was the L'Oreal Telescopic Lift mascara, the new one in the black tube. I was so excited to try it and yeah, did not like it at all. I'm still on the search for the "I must have at all costs" mascara. As an aside, I LOVE the recommendations on different ways to use the e.l.f. putty primer! I don't hate it, but it's not the first I reach for when I'm putting makeup on, so having other ways to use it is great! Maybe they won't go to waste now!
Maybelline Age Rewind concealer Lash Paradise mascara (Don't shoot me) Laura Mercier powder Have never liked at all. Creases, smears every where and turns yellow.
I wish Wet N Wild would improve the packaging for the their cream sticks because they’re such good products but the plastic top doesn’t stay on. I got a piece of tape securing mine. LOVE the Nyx Can’t Stop Won’t Stop concealer I never had problems with it. It performs better than some of my high end concealers. Bethany Frankle recently raved about it.
Makeup that everyone seems to love that I hate? Highlighter. There's no highlighter that doesn't emphasize texture, let's not kid ourselves. However, there is one product that I LOVE but no one talks about: Stila One Step Correct. Boom, perfection on my skin, every time!!
I never got the hype over the OG Tarte Shape Tape Concealer. When I personally used it on my undereyes, I always thought it looked heavy, drying, and cakey.
I have several that I have tried repeatedly to use that other people adore. Here's a list: Lash Paradise mascara, It Cosmetics CC Cream (I tried the original and the matte), Rimmell stay matte powder, and Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. I just can't get any of these to work for me.
I totally agree on the slash Paradise. I was so disappointed! Also hated the Milani Tubing mascara. It looked like it made my eyelashes thinner. What’s up with that?! Lol. Gave it to my daughter. She wasn’t too thrilled either.
@@julilowman2916 My daughter recommended the lash paradise to me, but she has beautiful full lashes already whereas mine are almost nonexistent. I have yet to find a mascara that I love.
Mine has to be the Rare Beauty Lip Oil. I have dry lips and within 5 minutes my lips were SO terribly dry! If I wanted a tint then I would've bought one instead of a lip oil. 😂
MAC Fix Plus makes my face so sticky! And L'oreal Lash Paradise Mascara gives me major raccoon eyes! But I get such an evil stare when I mention how I don't like these products. Thank you for the safe space that you provide for us scared makeup obsessed enthusiasts!
Hi Zabrena , love this video as always you have some great ideas and I'm looking forward to the follow-up when you plan to make. Just wanted to give you some feedback on the sound of this video I'm not sure if your mic went out but there was quite a bit of an echo. All love!❤
I’m so glad you mention the cover girl lipsticks I have been using them for about 10 years and I have always loved them especially the creamy formula they leave a stain and I don’t need to reapply some reminds of the Mac lipstick Formula, ………I love tarte but one product I can’t stand is the tarte Maracuja juicy lip plumping gloss they feel gross on my lips they are too greasy and the tube melted in my bag I also can’t see the fascination with the Mac fix plus setting spray it really does nothing for my sweat oily skin in the summer , also I don’t care for color pop lip liners they always dry out , or Charlotte Tilbury airbrush flawless finish setting powder i thing that is a rip off I don’t see anything special about the powder and the packaging is very cheap. I have many more to mention but it would be too many.
From "Everybody loves this product but me" category i would mention catrice true skin foundation. I like the concealer from the same line, however the foundation cakes on me and emphasizes smile lines. I'm still trying to find ways to make it work for me. I'm not giving up yet.😅
For years people have raved the L'oreal Lash Paradise mascara........I cannot stand it! I even wondered if maybe I got an old tube, so I bought a second tube. It is a big NOPE for me. It transfers and flakes and I hate. Speaking of mascara, though, I LOVED the Bite Beauty Upswing mascara. I bought up a bunch of travel size tubes when they were clearing them out of Sephora. Although I love it, it does transfer on me. I finally tried the e.l.f. Big Mood mascara as a replacement and it's awesome! The bonus is that it doesn't transfer!
One product that Im.not a fan of, but it went viral was new Dior glow blushes. I just didn't care for them and the level of pigmentation was not that great especially for $55. There are better blushes at the drugstore for less and perform much better. With Dior, you're paying for the brand. Also, I hate PH products one that I can remember is the lipstick queen when they did the frog prince lipstick and now Fenty and other companies are bringing back the ph trend which I think should stay in the earlier times, but that's me.
i absolutely despise the stupid ph trend! it’s so dated and somewhat juvenile. and i’m young so that’s saying something 😂 people are gonna look back at this phase in a few months and cringe.
Everyone seems to like the elf Camo Foundation. To me it is so thick feeling and in it's appearance on my skin. I still use it every now and then and can get it to look decent with a glowy product under it, but overall do not get the hype. I think their Flawless Satin Foundation is the best and can rival high end foundation.
The maybelline age rewind concealer! It burns my undereye so bad, and the applicator grosses me out! Too thick and will never understand why it's always going viral
Hey, Zabrena!! I love the ELF Mad for Matte eyeshadow palette in Nude Mood. I’m nearly out of the pinky-brown color 4th from the left. Would you happen to have a dupe for it? I use it as my transition color for so many looks. I hate to have to spend the $10 for one color in that palette. I have other palette w/the rest of the colors & don’t need more.
Funny, visiting my 33 yr old daughter and she has Wet and Wild foundation ( dewy). Always hear hype about it yet I’m afraid of orange or too pink cheap foundation…. Today I tried the soft ivory color. I was actually impressed! Fairly good shade and not cakey I may a actually get one for myself
L'Oreal Lash Paradise mascara is one thing I've tried and hated, that everyone else loves. It's the only mascara I can remember that smudged and flaked on me every time I wore it. The other is the Essence Lash Princess mascara, the green one. The brush was so goopy that, even after wiping it off, my eyelashes were all stuck together. I tried it a few times, gave up and threw it in the trash.
I absolutely hated the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye undereye concealer - so thick, dry and caked on me. I also detest any of the PH changing lip colors. I don’t want a “black” blush that turns some random shade of berry pink. My biggest makeup hatred is EYELASH CURLERS! They freak me out and I don’t think they make that big of a difference. I cannot watch people using them - ugh.
Agree with everything you said. Eyelash curler is such a waste of time. Mascaras nowadays curl and hold lashes so so well than even 2 years back. And I have poker straight lashes.
I wish that I didn’t need use a lash curler! I still have the fear! Even Mel Thompson (RIP) said that it reminded her of a medieval torture device 😂 Nothing will hold a curl for my lashes and I only buy the mascara that curls. I do have to curl them but- I can only use it for 15 to 20 seconds. Anytime I try using it for longer- I have a feeling that I will rip out my lashes…😱😂❤
I love the Milani mascara. I am 54, and my lashes have gotten shorter as I have aged, so I don't have long lashes to curl. I just need to look like I have lashes. I was using Thrive and I liked it, but not the cost, so this Milani dupe is perfect for me.
@amyhadley6021 Maybelline Sky High mascara is a tubing mascara. They describe it as a "washable mascara," but it comes off in little spider leg tubes on my washcloth. No flaking and no smudging, and much cheaper than Thrive.
Can you recommend some good, vegan setting sprays? I tried the "Dewy coconut setting mist" from elf and I don't think it does anything. I can still see my powder foundation on a tissue if I dab my face. I thought they prevented that? ~I'm just getting back into using makeup at 49 and I'm a bit lost! Thanks! 💜 PS I have dry skin
I've never been able to jump on the soap brow train, I've tried a few different brands and hate it! I also don't care for the morw recent brow freeze products either, I've tried the Elf and Anastasia ones, and they don't work for me at all. I must have really unruly brows😂
I am 70. I use the ELF putty primer around my lip line, and on my lips. (Be sparing, give it a moment to dry down - which it wont.) Maybe it’s my imagination, but I think it helps keep lines from bleeding, an aids in colors lasting longer. 🤷♀️
That's good to know as I have fine lines & need a decent primer
Try it right under your eyes where the skin gets so dry. Game changer. You only need a little bit.
@@laikanbarth I will, thanks!
I been doing this too try on neck ❤
Ohhh.. good to hear all these tips! Thanks, guys. I've always liked it, but I'm excited to try it in some new ways 😊
Essence Lash Princess mascara - everyone loves it and I just think it flakes all over the place
Oh, I love that mascara, but it is the only mascara that gives me raccoon eyes. 😢 so I don’t use it.
I'm glad I am not the only one 😅
same
I had that issue too!
Same
Yes! I did not like the L'Oreal Lash Paradise mascara at all. I do not like super wet mascaras because for me they get absolutely everywhere and I can't stand it. I have to scrape so much of it off the wand before I put it on my eyes, and it got super annoying. It's hyped a lot though, and it's supposed to be a dupe for the Better than Sex mascara, but I don't like it
That's funny because the Lash Paradise was my go-to for the past few years and now I don't like it as well as I used to.
I also hate the lash paradise, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a dope for better than sex. Which I actually love.
I agree with you! I have great lashes and I love Covergirl mascaras!
I hate lash paradise too

I can’t stand the smell of the Bum Bum Cream. I got a sample luckily and my curiosity was cured.
@@isabelmaas2815 I wasted my Sephora points on a sample-sized jar 😑
Wow! Really?! I love the original color stay! I use the oily combination one and I don't get full coverage at all! I get light to light medium coverage. That's fascinating.

AH! I'm in this video! wow, thanks for this - it made my day.🤩
For me when the foundation is full coverage i do less is more type and i end up liking it more
same. those look cakey on my dry skin if I put too much
I love the milani comceal and perfect foundation. People always compliment how flawless my face looks when I use it
You’re not alone. I like it too.
Oil of Olay buying Cover Girl was a GREAT thing
I tried IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer and didn't like the way it looked under my eyes. I found it creased and went into fine lines. No matter how little I used. Felt drying too.

I agree with the L’Oréal foundation. I don’t understand why everyone says it’s moisturizing. It is very drying on me due to the high alcohol content.
Omg that L'Oreal foundation made my skin look like I was 80 years old (no offense to anyone who is 80, but I'm only 49! 😂) Hands down the WORST base product I have EVER put on my face. I was speechless, no joke. And I hear the new Maybelline one is just as bad.
I agree on essence lash princess mascara. It clumps my lashes and smudges after couple of hours.
I love how my lashes look with lash princess, but holy smokes it smudges. I can't understand how it works for so many people 😅
Yes to BOTH. I still have a new bottle of the serum foundation that i refuse to give up on. I continue to use less and less amounts hoping to find that "sweet spot". I think pretty soon I'm just going to get to the point of waving it around my face lol
hi zabrena!! much love from san jose, CA ♥️

I agree! But then actually bought it several shades darker and use it as a liquid bronzer, or to darken my lighter foundations and I love it!
You might really like the saie glowy base. It's like water!
This was a great video! The NYX Bare With Me Serum Concealer is a product that has never worked for me. It emphasizes all my fine lines so it gives my under eyes a weird look of being dehydrated but also dewy.
Ditto! It doesn’t work for me either, though I do like it as an eyeshadow base.

Tarte shape tape! No matter how much or little I apply, how I blend it, it looks terrible! And it doesn’t cover my circles
Every one loves the elf bite size eyeshadow quads. Ugh! I've tried them 3 times and they fall apart on me. I use a gentle hand and the fallout is awful. They muddy on my eyes and I have given up on them.
These are wonderful tips! ❤️ Hugs from NC! Your skin is flawless!! I could NOT use the mascara either!
Coty air spun. I am a vintage girl and want to love it but it just makes my skin look old or dry.
The wet n wild tinted hydrator is the one that everyone loves except for me! I feel like it just sits in my pores and looks terrible. I keep trying to like it, playing around with different primers, or trying to put less on, or more, but it just never works for me
I hated it too😂!
Oh my I am one that loves it and even have a back-up.
I hated it too lol
It really looks terrible on me, as well! Looked so bad that I couldn’t even force myself to try it out again…🫤
I loved it when I first tried it, then after a few months I thought wtf was i thinking! This doesn't look great and transfers like crazy.
The Maybelline Age Rewind concealer looked terrible on me and I HATED the applicator so I threw it out. But then I started to doubt myself because everyone else loved it, so I bought another one, and…nope I’m not crazy. It still looked horrible on me. 😑
I hated it because of that stupid sponge- I don't even know if the formula was good or not because I hated the sponge so much.
It is inconvenient,and age rewind always gave me an under eye bump.
Couldn't stand that gross sponge either for starters, and on top of that it covers absolutely nothing! And I don't even have really bad discoloration under my eyes! I can't imagine HOW it works for anyone with severe dark circles. Oh and the FitMe concealer was just as bad!

The L'Oreal Magic Perfecting base is my FAVORITE 😍 it fills in my for real! The Essence mascaras on me: trash 🗑️. What a great video idea, thanks for sharing doll ✌🏾🥰
IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara - sooo wet, takes forever to dry, and it flakes so easily!!
The ELF Power Grip Primer! 😬I distinctly remember using it, thinking things would be fine, and literally mopping up grease from my face less than 4 hours later. It didn't grip my makeup at all!
I LOVE the idea of a show on "Everyone loves this but ME!" May I suggest the Pacifica Dream Lit Concealer? EVERYONE loves this, but it disappeared into my fine lines and attracted mascara like a magnet. I NEVER return stuff, but I returned this.
I like your new background! I tried Milk Hydrogrip Primer...and absolutely despise it. It makes my foundation super patchy and heavy looking.
What an absolutely beautiful outcome!!
And off the top of my head; a recent product that went viral is the L'oreal Telescopic Mascara. To me, it's just any regular mascara there's nothing special to it but everyone seems to get better results than I have!
Zabrena, you're so creative with your themes for makeup videos! I watched this before I even got out of bed Saturday morning. You are my go-to drugstore product goddess!
Tried both formulas of the ELF concealers and didn’t care for them. Besides struggling to find a good shade match, it felt too heavy and full coverage. Same story with the NYX concealer serum.
I agree about the elf concealer. But adore the NYX Bare with me.
These two products aren’t “make up” but lip balm.
1. EOS lip balm
2. Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm.
Both of these products dry my lips out so bad. I’ve tried doing a lip scrubs or masks before applying these products and still they don’t work.
Great video Zabrena.
Love your videos sm! Im interested in a video where you use makeup everyone else hates but you love!
Hi Zabrena, thanks for this - it’s making me reassess my own stash! A quick plea - could you PLEASE let us know the foundation and concealer shades you use in all of your videos, please? I’m a pale skin redhead too and find shade selection really difficult, especially drugstore or online where you can’t get samples. The whole thing is made worse in the UK as we cannot return makeup 😢. My foundation graveyard is full of my mistakes.
If you go up to the title of the video and click 'more' or '...' in the bottom right corner, she normally lists all products and shades there
Everyone love’s Colourpop eyeshadows and I don’t! They don’t last long on my eyes and some blend away or are patchy. Also the formula changes on the palettes after having them for only a few months.
Charlotte tilbury flawless finish foundation. Tried every single method and primer /setting spray combo and it looked cakey and separated on my skin.
Hi Zabrena I absolutely loved this video! Thank you for mentioning me and for the great tip on sharpening the tip of the ELF row pencil. Oh yes ! I have a product that everyone loves including YOU but it never worked for me.. That is the Catrice True Skin Concealer. This creases on me no matter how little or how much I apply. I tried it again this week after I watched your concealer battle video and no sir! Still creases. Maybe I need a fresh tube? 😅
Whoever said the PF Butter Bronzer…same!!! I’ve panned 4 now and close to 5, lol.
That lip color really makes your eyes pop
This was a great video
The product everyone loves but I don't is the Fenty glossbomb. It looked meh on my lips.
I hate it. It is goopy and drips off my lips.
Loved this video and all your videos! The one product I don’t get is the Thrive Causemetics tubbing mascara. It just doesn’t hold the curl
I think Hannah had a splendid idea!! Yes please!!!
I absolutely adore your content 💜💜💜 I think I'd watch just about anything you put up on TH-cam 😅
I tried the putty primer hack under my eye shadow primer today!
Oddly both the elf primers cause me to break out!!! Thanks for the video. Have a good day
great video!!
I use Elf putty primer on my eyes for months now. I also put it on my lip line too.
I use the ELF Putty Primer just under my eyes (where my skin is very dry) and it just smooths out those lines.
Hi zabrena I sharpen my elf brow product with a old lip liner sharpener . You know the ones that are at the end of cream lip liners. Works great but seams to eat up the brow product.😊
Ty Z ❤
That Loreal magic primerwas the very first foundation primer I ever used, back in 2011.i didn't know primers existed until I saw it.
I use the elf brow pencil in Auburn everyday! I buy them in bulk on their website
Things I used to hate:
Cooler purple-gray eyeshadow tones.
Turns out, after wondering for years why everything looked too warm on me, that I’m suited to somewhat cooler tones.
The sephora collection eyeshadow (i think discontinued now😢) in Hurricane Wave is my favorite.
My bottle of KVD lock it foundation: it always came out looking chalky. I discovered i can mix it with my subscreen face milk or just my sunscreen or face moisturizer and it looks FANTASTIC. Still dries down mostly matte, but doesn’t look powdery or heavy.
The nyx epic ink eyeliner used to make me sooooo mad.
Now i just dab it a bit on a paper towel to get off the excess and it’s fantastic.
It's funny you mentioned the nyx can't stop won't stop concealer.. I just heard another enfluener talk about how great it is. Gotta try that one out.
For me, the one product that everyone was talking about that I hated was the L'Oreal Telescopic Lift mascara, the new one in the black tube. I was so excited to try it and yeah, did not like it at all. I'm still on the search for the "I must have at all costs" mascara. As an aside, I LOVE the recommendations on different ways to use the e.l.f. putty primer! I don't hate it, but it's not the first I reach for when I'm putting makeup on, so having other ways to use it is great! Maybe they won't go to waste now!
Great video! Love the finished look! I hate the maybelline age rewind concealer. It shows the texture under my eyes.
Maybelline Age Rewind concealer
Lash Paradise mascara
(Don't shoot me) Laura Mercier powder
Have never liked at all. Creases, smears every where and turns yellow.
I wish Wet N Wild would improve the packaging for the their cream sticks because they’re such good products but the plastic top doesn’t stay on. I got a piece of tape securing mine. LOVE the Nyx Can’t Stop Won’t Stop concealer I never had problems with it. It performs better than some of my high end concealers. Bethany Frankle recently raved about it.
Shape tape concealer
Makeup that everyone seems to love that I hate? Highlighter. There's no highlighter that doesn't emphasize texture, let's not kid ourselves.
However, there is one product that I LOVE but no one talks about: Stila One Step Correct. Boom, perfection on my skin, every time!!
Hi Zabrena could you do a video on the color u are using on your hair the color is beautiful x❤❤❤❤❤
great video. missing the pretty background though. this one looked kind of digital?
What color of foundation did you use? We usually being the same shade. Looking for a short cut to know what shade to order!
I never got the hype over the OG Tarte Shape Tape Concealer. When I personally used it on my undereyes, I always thought it looked heavy, drying, and cakey.
I have several that I have tried repeatedly to use that other people adore. Here's a list: Lash Paradise mascara, It Cosmetics CC Cream (I tried the original and the matte), Rimmell stay matte powder, and Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. I just can't get any of these to work for me.
I totally agree on the slash Paradise. I was so disappointed! Also hated the Milani Tubing mascara. It looked like it made my eyelashes thinner. What’s up with that?! Lol. Gave it to my daughter. She wasn’t too thrilled either.
@@julilowman2916 My daughter recommended the lash paradise to me, but she has beautiful full lashes already whereas mine are almost nonexistent. I have yet to find a mascara that I love.
@jenphelps recommended the Loreal primer and I love it
Mine has to be the Rare Beauty Lip Oil. I have dry lips and within 5 minutes my lips were SO terribly dry! If I wanted a tint then I would've bought one instead of a lip oil. 😂
i heard this complaint a few times, actually.
MAC Fix Plus makes my face so sticky! And L'oreal Lash Paradise Mascara gives me major raccoon eyes! But I get such an evil stare when I mention how I don't like these products. Thank you for the safe space that you provide for us scared makeup obsessed enthusiasts!
Hi Zabrena , love this video as always you have some great ideas and I'm looking forward to the follow-up when you plan to make. Just wanted to give you some feedback on the sound of this video I'm not sure if your mic went out but there was quite a bit of an echo. All love!❤
I’m so glad you mention the cover girl lipsticks I have been using them for about 10 years and I have always loved them especially the creamy formula they leave a stain and I don’t need to reapply some reminds of the Mac lipstick Formula, ………I love tarte but one product I can’t stand is the tarte Maracuja juicy lip plumping gloss they feel gross on my lips they are too greasy and the tube melted in my bag I also can’t see the fascination with the Mac fix plus setting spray it really does nothing for my sweat oily skin in the summer , also I don’t care for color pop lip liners they always dry out , or Charlotte Tilbury airbrush flawless finish setting powder i thing that is a rip off I don’t see anything special about the powder and the packaging is very cheap. I have many more to mention but it would be too many.
From "Everybody loves this product but me" category i would mention catrice true skin foundation. I like the concealer from the same line, however the foundation cakes on me and emphasizes smile lines. I'm still trying to find ways to make it work for me. I'm not giving up yet.😅
For years people have raved the L'oreal Lash Paradise mascara........I cannot stand it! I even wondered if maybe I got an old tube, so I bought a second tube. It is a big NOPE for me. It transfers and flakes and I hate. Speaking of mascara, though, I LOVED the Bite Beauty Upswing mascara. I bought up a bunch of travel size tubes when they were clearing them out of Sephora. Although I love it, it does transfer on me. I finally tried the e.l.f. Big Mood mascara as a replacement and it's awesome! The bonus is that it doesn't transfer!
One product that Im.not a fan of, but it went viral was new Dior glow blushes. I just didn't care for them and the level of pigmentation was not that great especially for $55. There are better blushes at the drugstore for less and perform much better. With Dior, you're paying for the brand. Also, I hate PH products one that I can remember is the lipstick queen when they did the frog prince lipstick and now Fenty and other companies are bringing back the ph trend which I think should stay in the earlier times, but that's me.
i absolutely despise the stupid ph trend! it’s so dated and somewhat juvenile. and i’m young so that’s saying something 😂 people are gonna look back at this phase in a few months and cringe.
@@laur83 It looks like Im not alone welcome. 😄
Everyone seems to like the elf Camo Foundation. To me it is so thick feeling and in it's appearance on my skin. I still use it every now and then and can get it to look decent with a glowy product under it, but overall do not get the hype. I think their Flawless Satin Foundation is the best and can rival high end foundation.
The maybelline age rewind concealer! It burns my undereye so bad, and the applicator grosses me out! Too thick and will never understand why it's always going viral
Hey, Zabrena!! I love the ELF Mad for Matte eyeshadow palette in Nude Mood. I’m nearly out of the pinky-brown color 4th from the left. Would you happen to have a dupe for it? I use it as my transition color for so many looks. I hate to have to spend the $10 for one color in that palette. I have other palette w/the rest of the colors & don’t need more.
Funny, visiting my 33 yr old daughter and she has Wet and Wild foundation ( dewy). Always hear hype about it yet I’m afraid of orange or too pink cheap foundation…. Today I tried the soft ivory color. I was actually impressed! Fairly good shade and not cakey I may a actually get one for myself
L'Oreal Lash Paradise mascara is one thing I've tried and hated, that everyone else loves. It's the only mascara I can remember that smudged and flaked on me every time I wore it. The other is the Essence Lash Princess mascara, the green one. The brush was so goopy that, even after wiping it off, my eyelashes were all stuck together. I tried it a few times, gave up and threw it in the trash.
I absolutely hated the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye undereye concealer - so thick, dry and caked on me.
I also detest any of the PH changing lip colors. I don’t want a “black” blush that turns some random shade of berry pink.
My biggest makeup hatred is EYELASH CURLERS! They freak me out and I don’t think they make that big of a difference. I cannot watch people using them - ugh.
Agree with everything you said. Eyelash curler is such a waste of time. Mascaras nowadays curl and hold lashes so so well than even 2 years back. And I have poker straight lashes.
I wish that I didn’t need use a lash curler! I still have the fear!
Even Mel Thompson (RIP) said that it reminded her of a medieval torture device 😂
Nothing will hold a curl for my lashes and I only buy the mascara that curls. I do have to curl them but- I can only use it for 15 to 20 seconds. Anytime I try using it for longer- I have a feeling that I will rip out my lashes…😱😂❤
I wanted to like the L’Oréal primer but IIRC, it was fragranced.
For the viral TikTok products. I wanted so badly for the Kosas Revealer Concealer to work but it irritated my skin.
The can’t stop won’t stop is amazing and so is the flower get real concealer and the Rimmel Soft Matte is fantastic and no one talks about it anymore
Everyone seems to love the Nyx Serum Concealer, but I can’t stand it!
I love the Milani mascara. I am 54, and my lashes have gotten shorter as I have aged, so I don't have long lashes to curl. I just need to look like I have lashes. I was using Thrive and I liked it, but not the cost, so this Milani dupe is perfect for me.
@amyhadley6021 Maybelline Sky High mascara is a tubing mascara. They describe it as a "washable mascara," but it comes off in little spider leg tubes on my washcloth. No flaking and no smudging, and much cheaper than Thrive.
Can you recommend some good, vegan setting sprays? I tried the "Dewy coconut setting mist" from elf and I don't think it does anything. I can still see my powder foundation on a tissue if I dab my face. I thought they prevented that? ~I'm just getting back into using makeup at 49 and I'm a bit lost! Thanks! 💜 PS I have dry skin
Essence Lash Princess mascara! Why is it popular??
I've never been able to jump on the soap brow train, I've tried a few different brands and hate it! I also don't care for the morw recent brow freeze products either, I've tried the Elf and Anastasia ones, and they don't work for me at all. I must have really unruly brows😂
I just love how you put bible verses in the description of your videos!!!!
