There is no where else to get this kind of tried information! In the long run it saves money but what can really work for each individual person. Thank you so much, Nikki
Im so glad you were real about the elf foundation. Other influencers are talking about it as if its a dupe for high end foundation. Not that I was going to buy bc I try to stay away from the thousands of products influencers push. But your honest thoughts are greatly appreciated and does not go unnoticed.
But even the high end needs finishing powder/spray (within her video). I like her tweaking ideas. The elf works well for my everyday foundation even in the humidity.
No doubt! I think I have wasted so much money on all the elf “dupes”. Most & I do mean almost all elf products I have bought ended up in the trash. I’m over elf.
this is why we love when makeup artists review things and not influencers!!! it’s not that i have anything against influencers but it’s different hearing things from an MUA especially her!!! I love how nikki shows love to all types including mine: dry🥹
I have used some of the most high end foundations on the market. I’ve heard about elf thought I’d give it a try, will never waste my money again on so called high end products . I used other elf products, love the elf line. Plus what means a lot to me elf does not animal test.
Hi!! I think I wrote on another post about the Tirtir. So here is just a short!! WOW!! Got it today from Amazon and immediately tried it with the brush as you suggested. Holy cow!! That is the BEST foundation I have ever used. I am 78 years old with decent skin, and it went on like butter. Time check it did not sink into wrinkles!! I did not try the mat, but with this I will add some CT glow in places. It took so little to get lovely coverage. Thank you for your review because I saw one that did not like it. Use a good brush is the total answer. BTW, I watch all your videos, and I would love to see you do some makes on older glamor girls!!
@melodygardner6169 what is your skin type if i may ask? i have combo but leaning more dry these days with the dry climate i live in & starting on tret. & i worry it wont well with more dry skin. i know nikki has more oily skin so im just curious ty🙏🏼
Bravo, love your response to Nikki. I'm 84 and agree that it would be fun and useful to have her do some videos for us more chronologically advanced glamgals. Started using the Tirtir today but eagerly awaiting the 106 brush. Like what I'm seeing!
Surprisingly, the elf foundation got me through a couple of long, hot, sweaty 4th of July weekend days and it still looked good at the end of each day. I used the elf liquid poreless primer underneath and finished with the elf stay all night setting spray. I didn't intentionally use all elf, it's just what I grabbed for a trip, their packaging is conducive for travel. It's not the most elegant foundation, but it works for me. I have normal to dry skin.
There has never been a time when I watched your video and didn't learn something important. I was curious about Tir Tir, and now, any question I might have had, has been answered! That's why we love you. Somehow, you just know what we need. Love you, Nikki!💜💜💜
@@nancya1430 I have been sitting on my tirtir because I have a bunch of new foundations. Going to pull it out tomorrow with all her suggestions and see how it works. May try her N15 so it's more sheer. I have every one of these new foundations. I don't have the Armani, though. I have used the CT over tinted sunscreen and they're perfect together.
Going to Europe for 2 weeks and decided the only foundation I'm bringing is my TirTir along with my real techniques buffing foundation brush. It lasts all day and gives me the perfect base for every look. So happy I tried this, it will save space in my bag for sure!
Speaking of skin prep… You got my HOOKED on the Haru Haru Wonder sunscreen. I LOVE IT for underneath makeup and I have found that I don’t need a primer while wearing that one. It doesn’t ball up my foundation and it makes my skin smooth. I adore all your recommendations and I have loved every single one!!
Nikki I appreciate your honest reviews and recommendations. You are spot on with your knowledge. I’m 63 and have used Chanel, Dior, Bobbi Brown among other foundations in my life. I now realize that at my age I can get away with some tweaks to my foundation routine to get my old skin looking great without a crazy investment. Thank you for your professionalism!
I am in love with it, my Nars Light Reflecting is gorgeous too and i don't use it as often now. Fenty has coverage, absolutely gorgeous finish, just looks like beautiful skin, it works on my dry dry skin and even stayed on during over 32 celsius heatwave. I hope they never discontinue it ❤
Excellent video, Nikki! I have the Fenty and TirTir foundations and LOVE them both. For fun I think I’ll try the ELF. I have so many of their products and I love them. 💕🌸💕
@@AllyKit oh that’s me! I too over plucked and have blonde, gray and light light brown eyebrows but they are so so thin and bald spots. I forgot about ELF wow brow, as I bought that based on Nikki’s recommendation and love it. Just have trouble in not getting g too much on as I basically don’t have much brow hairs even with using an eyebrow growth serum.
@@karlaharvey2623 Have you noticed it's better once it's older and not so wet? It's not as messy and I do like the amount of fibers in it and the brush, better than more expensive ones. It actually gives me 10 hairs instead of 5. The eyebrow serums just make my 5 hairs longer lol
@@ana-juliacintron1927 I very rarely use a primer. I have dry, dehydrated skin and more mature skin. I’m sorry but I have no idea which primers work best for oily skin.
I tried the Tirtir and didn't love it, watched a few tutorials did what they suggested.... still didn't love it! Just tried your suggestion...I LOVE IT! ❤ Thank you Nikki!
The TirTir portion of this video has been the most helpful to me out of all your other videos on your channel. Using the two different brushes is a game changer for me. I tried it with the TirTir and it is the happiest I have ever been with foundation and my dry mature skin.
So happy you showed how to apply Tir Tir. I bought the wrong color and applied with the sponge and had that mask look, hated it! After seeing your application, I’m going to try again with a new shade. I’m trying to get ready for my granddaughters wedding and makeup application is not as easy as it used to be. You’re the best, Nikki! ❤
Oh my gosh 51 year old, hormonal, dry skin woman here, new to your channel. Nikki! first of all you are such a blessing and I appreciate your content SO much. a little obsessed. Also, I live in a bit of a rural area, so I can’t just run to our local sephora or nordstrom and get color matched or exchange these high end products. I have been completely influenced lately by all the foundations and concealers on the market! 😩 I now have a drawer full of the most recent launches and feeling like a total sucker for buying so many products online with high expectations and aren’t quite right shade or formula for my skin, like the Vieve foundation, Charlotte Tillbury stick, and WA concealers. This video (along with your others) has made me see how I can use what I have without feeling terrible about my decisions! 😂❤❤ Thank you SO much. And even though I said I’d never buy another brush again, I purchased two of your brushes (N12 and N11) … not mad about it either. 🥴😆 Thank you for being so relatable and for all your hard work!
Please please please are you able to do a video for us girls this summer who are doing our own bridesmaid makeup? Every tutorial of yours I have ever followed has turned out beautiful, I trust your advice with my life 😭
Thank you so much for your advice re the Tirtir foundation. I had written it off as too drying for my 56 yr old skin! I tried the brush technique and it was MUCH better. I did use a hydrating primer though as i have gotten used to using tinted serums rather than full coverage foundations. The primer didn't interfere with the final result which was flawless. So thank you again for your wisdom and hard work in sorting these things out for us!
I love love love that elf actually. I have some high end brands and I like the elf just as much. I have dry to normal skin and this held up really beautifully in the hot 98 degrees outside by the pool. it was looking great even though I was a little sweaty.
I wore it yesterday over Paula's Choice sunscreen on a high humidity day(rained yesterday evening) and it felt very smooth and not greasy on my 68 yr old oily skin. It was perfect still at 5 o'clock.
tirtir foundation is one of those foundations that doesnt need a poreless primer or much skin prep...also for dry skin, it doesnt need powder or vry less if so.....its a 3 in 1 product that is significantly easy to use!!and also it can b refilled which saves the environment.....this is the best foundation for value for money,....applying a very less it can b used regularly by pressing the puff slightly on the foundation or can b used for special occasion/wedding by using abit more while it doesnt need much effort or other products to set perfectly longlasting....hands down for this! it has spf 40 and skin care benifits!!!!!!this is what i call an actual high end foundation!!!!!!!
Thank goodness for Fenty! Hardly anyone anymore making foundation shades for us pinker-undertoned people! Still could have a bit more pink to it but the closest I’ve gotten so far. 😊
Depending on budget and coverage, I have found the following brands offer a strong pink undertone: Nars, Chantechaille, Haus Labs, Make Up Revolution and Patric Ta (Shade 1 anyway).
RCMA!! I don't know why more people aren't talking about this brand. Their Liquid Foundation is amazing and they have tons of shades and undertones. I have Light Olive skin so it's always been hard for me to find a good shade Match until RCMA.
You work so hard on these videos and are super informative. I’m 76 and finally know how to apply my makeup because of you. I purchased several of your brushes and I LOVE them. Thanks for all that you do. What time do you video on Sundays? I would love to join in.
Aloha Nikki! I’m so glad you tested Tir Tir. Your analysis is so much more trustworthy than many other “so-called” influencers. Based on your analysis, I ordered it. It will arrive today! Thank you so much!
Am so happy that you tried the Tirtir cushion foundation. The tips you gave worked so well. Last time, a few months back, I was so unhappy with the result, the wrong shade as well as cakey on application with the applicator. I hated the look and so I dumped it in the bin. This time after watching you, and doing a careful search on the shade match for my wheatish dusky dry skin tone, I ordered two shades from Amazon, the mini version ( bought Natural beige as a concealer and Macchiato as foundation), it worked like magic. So happy with the result. So a bigggggggh hug to you and thank you🎉
THANK YOU, Nikki - for your thorough review of the Charlotte Tilbury "foundation stick". I now know that it is not a "true" foundation stick but more like a solid form of the Flawless Filter. In addition, you showed us how we could use it if we wanted to. BRILLIANT!! You're the best!
You are amazing Nikki, how you take the time and effort to go through so many products is mind blowing, I actually stop after everyone of these products while your talking and write down all the info...lol .I then go to sephora to get samples of the ones I want....thanks again for making it easier for us ..🤗💕
Your skin is beautiful even without makeup. The CT stick alone on your skin looks beautiful. Guess I’m saying I wish I had your flawless complexion. ❤️
I got about 10 minutes into this video and decided I wanted to browse Ulta. Got me some Fenty foundation….so pretty on my 50 year old skin. The texture is dreamy.
Thank you for this video Nikki! Im 55 yo with tan , combo /oily skin with texture. I prefer a formula that is thin but well pigmented (medium coverage at most) and dries to satin finish . I prefer no alcohol if im going to use daily.
For anyone looking for Nikki's eyeshadows, they are part of the Maxxxine Half Magic Set. I was looking for them in the individual colors, but from what I can tell, they are only in the set. ☺
Thanks for this video! I tried so hard to make tir tir work, but no other video really gave me any good help. I'm going to try it again with the brush. Thank you!
I loveeeee the Fenty foundation and the color! I usually have to mix but I love this one. I use it with my kosas powder or charlotte press powder. Obsessed!!
So very helpful, Nikki. I actually own all the foundations you mentioned except the Charlotte Tilbury & totally agree with your assessments! I also own both the brushes you mentioned that are good for the TirTir foundation! Thanks for always keeping it real. Love the eyeshadow too, btw 💙🩵
So crazy how Asian beauty is getting the recognition it deserves! You need to try the JSM cushion! It’s my all time favorite cushion foundation and was created by a famous makeup artist there (named after her). I would love to hear your thoughts
I really appreciate your comments about the CT stick because I was thinking that I was missing out but I definitely don’t want something as glowy as their flawless filter - which I have but have never been able to use very satisfactorily. I also wanted to say that I actually bought the Naked Sunday SPF that you endorsed on a whim on day and although my oily combo skin loved this gel texture, it really hasn’t played well with a lot of my other makeup-I have found it pills and rolls off a lot of the time, and is better left for makeup free days (which are rare for me lol).
Millani, Elf setting sprays, foundation and anti creasing eye makeup works good for me for few hours. If I want something for a day (10 plus hours) then I use Charlotte T, Estée Lauder or Lancôme. I have few samples of other products I have gotten from friends or when I purchased makeup, but I prefer not having too much of choices for myself, because I don’t use more than natural makeup no makeup, sometimes I do use more chic elegant makeup, and rarely sophisticated makeup. As far as mascara, L’Oréal is great for me, sometimes I get gifts of other brands, but, I prefer minimalist makeup products because I am in favor of natural, classic, quality over quantity, in general, either makeup or else. Thank you 🙏 so much for your tutorials , suggestions and your presence! ❤💐
Thanks Nikki! Regarding the elf, I am 63 years old with very dry skin. I’ve tried applying this foundation twice now and just can’t get it to work. It sits on my skin. But, since you’ve mentioned using a primer maybe I will try that and give it a shot one more time. Thank you
Nikki, your skin is gorgeous. I love watching your content. I'm an oily/combination 58 year old that still breaks out. It would be great if you could please do makeup on a model that has skin like mine I'd love it or eye makeup to for green eyes on my age group. Thank you, beautiful ❤
Hi Nikki, I watched your video a few days ago and the decided to try the Tir Tir cushion foundation. I read that many people said it oxidized so I ordered a shade lighter (15C). I applied exactly as you showed with the same brush and it came out lovely. It did look to light at first but it did oxidize one shade and ended up being a perfect match. I needed to use very little of the foundation as it is gives coverage quickly. Thanks for the advice as usual!
Thank you Nikki for all the great recommendations, tips, and tricks! I would love to see your recommendations for full glam evening look with products that look fabulous with photography. I have a 40th class reunion and a wedding coming up soon. I will be the mother of the bride. There will be lots of pictures of course and i want to look my best. Almost 58 years old with dry skin, but am consistent with skincare. I just recently bought your N16 and N17 and cant wait to use them!😊
Omg Nikki. You give the best info. I think you saved me 46 bucks on the Charlotte Tilbury stick. 😂 I haven't had luck with Elf foundations. I do like the tir tir. I do have to use it with a brush or beauty blender. I cannot use that sponge that it comes with. I put way too much on with it. But It holds up so well. I have 4 foundations in my makeup bag and the tir tir is the one that I've been reaching for all summer.
I have all of the above bar the CT stick as that doesn't appeal to me. Love the Fenty and Elf one...but like yourself, I have been blown away by the Tirtir one! In fact I now have the full size of my allover shade and 3 minis of one lighter and two darker shades to brighten and contour and bronze. It's genius and perfect for travel! x
Hi Nikki...I am so glad I found you!!! Question....Can you tell me what shade you used on your Tirtir foundation???? I am probably not your usual demographic follower...I am 63, but I truly enjoy your videos and tutorials. I love the videos where you buy all one category of a product and compare each one for us. I value your expertise! It has helped me sooooo much with buying cosmetics ... and skin care. I truly appreciate your advice and and grateful that you take the time to explain and show us each product. You are a very kind and compassionate person....and I am grateful that you care so much for your followers to help us like you do. You rock Nikki La Rose!!! ❤🙏✌💐
What an in depth tutorial on these fabulous foundations and techniques for creating your own style. I was wondering what shade are you in the Tir tir foundation?
I just bought the new Fenty because the tirtir is too drying on my skin. I'm looking forward to testing it with different sunscreens so i can see what it plays well with before i take it on vacation.
I have super dry skin and I wear the CT foundation stick over my tinted sunscreen and my skin looks beautiful. It is the perfect combo for me! Because my skin is so dry, it doesn't matter how luminous a foundation is, by the end of the day my skin just looks dry, but not the new CT! I love it and have now found my new holy grail make up cocktail!
your face is so smooth that it really is difficult to observe any difference in the way make up products lay... everythings always turns out gorgeous. I'm just 31 but unfortunately already have visible fine lines and some uneven transitions (i.e. undereyes and rest of face, between brows)... a lot of make up tends to emphasise that. I feel a bit too young for this and it can feel a bit isolating seeing all the baby smooth faces on screen all the time. I still enjoy your videos and you look amazing as always.
Thanks for the in-depth reviews! And user tips for these foundations. Just took the jump and ordered the TirTir foundation. It looks so flawless and pretty on you. Will be coming back and referring to this video. 😊
Echoing - what a great tutorial - it is one thing to say a product is good or not so much - quite another to explore and share techniques for successful wear. The thoughts on the Charlotte Tilbury foundation stick are very insightful as well as application for the Tir Tir foundation -Thank you, Nikki-as usual knocked it out of the park!
Thanks Nikki, I feel vindicated of my review of the Fenty foundation… people didn’t like that i said it wasn’t long lasting and that you must powder heavily if you have an oily t-zone. Thanks I feel better now lol!
Hello from Wodonga Australia. Nikki l love how you share your wealth of knowledge and absolutely amazing skills when it comes to makeup with us. You are the best so thank you. xx
I'm using the black Tirtir cushion foundation. I started with minis of the red and black, and I preferred the light to medium coverage. I use it the the Heimish Artless Glow primer. I may use the red in cooler weather.
Hi.... Lovely video, thank you!! ❤ Could you please consider doing a pressed foundation powder and foundation sticks video. I live in a mostly hot sometimes occasionally humid climate area (Nigeria, West Africa). This will be a great help. Thank you in advance 😊
I just tried the new Fenty foundation and I love it. I’m a dry skin girly. I’m an olive undertone too. I’ve had an issue with finding a foundation, drugstore and high end. Fenty nailed my skin tone and undertone in their 225 neutral Olive shade. Im going to try the OG formula too. I’m so happy I get to wear foundation again. I was getting frustrated that all foundations would look pink or orange in natural light, or be the wrong shade.
I think it is important to mention that TirTir has fragrance in it. I had a very hard time with it because of the fragrance. Glad I purchased the smaller size. I would love for you to do an entire video on fragrance free skincare and makeup. It is desperately needed for those of us who have reactions to fragrance. Will never understand why companies use it. It is not good for us.
@@LauraOlsen-pw9gj Over 50… Love it! I use the same brush shown (rather than the sponge) and start with a little and build where needed. It doesn’t crease like others and lasts until washed off. Not one touch-up after hours of wear. (I do use the Givenchy powder in my t-zone to control for oily skin). 😊
Your knowledge and expertise is obviously great and it shows in every single one of your videos. Your make up content is always so educational and so helpful and your products recommendations always prove to be so spot on therefore a great buy. Thank you !
Thank you so very much, Nikki! I bought the TirTir foundation, but I’ve not used it yet. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas for using this lovely foundation! ❤❤❤

It seems there are not enough foundations addressing yellow 💛 undertones, so kind of know the feeling about your pink colors, GL.
RCMA!! I don't know why more people aren't talking about this brand. Their Liquid Foundation is amazing and they have tons of shades and undertones. I have Light Olive skin so it's always been hard for me to find a good shade Match until RCMA.
You work so hard on these videos and are super informative. I’m 76 and finally know how to apply my makeup because of you. I purchased several of your brushes and I LOVE them. Thanks for all that you do. What time do you video on Sundays? I would love to join in.
Aloha Nikki! I’m so glad you tested Tir Tir. Your analysis is so much more trustworthy than many other “so-called” influencers. Based on your analysis, I ordered it. It will arrive today! Thank you so much!
You are the best beauty TH-camr out there, genuinely. Fully expect to see you blow up to a million subscribers soon.
Am so happy that you tried the Tirtir cushion foundation. The tips you gave worked so well. Last time, a few months back, I was so unhappy with the result, the wrong shade as well as cakey on application with the applicator. I hated the look and so I dumped it in the bin. This time after watching you, and doing a careful search on the shade match for my wheatish dusky dry skin tone, I ordered two shades from Amazon, the mini version ( bought Natural beige as a concealer and Macchiato as foundation), it worked like magic. So happy with the result. So a bigggggggh hug to you and thank you🎉
THANK YOU, Nikki - for your thorough review of the Charlotte Tilbury "foundation stick". I now know that it is not a "true" foundation stick but more like a solid form of the Flawless Filter. In addition, you showed us how we could use it if we wanted to. BRILLIANT!! You're the best!
AHH NIKKI there is so much to love about this video, your content stays on TOP and no surprises but your eyeshadow is mesmerising ❤️🔥
You are amazing Nikki, how you take the time and effort to go through so many products is mind blowing, I actually stop after everyone of these products while your talking and write down all the info...lol .I then go to sephora to get samples of the ones I want....thanks again for making it easier for us ..🤗💕
Nikki, you are just my favorite person on TH-cam!🥰
Ahhhh you are so kind, thank you!!!
Thank you so much for the tips on how to apply the TirTir. I just got the N15 and can't wait to use the two together!!!
This was some incredibly high quality content! Thank you so much, Nikki!!
Your skin is beautiful even without makeup. The CT stick alone on your skin looks beautiful. Guess I’m saying I wish I had your flawless complexion. ❤️
I got about 10 minutes into this video and decided I wanted to browse Ulta. Got me some Fenty foundation….so pretty on my 50 year old skin. The texture is dreamy.
@@julesbee6249 oh I’m so happy to hear that!!
Thank you for this video Nikki! Im 55 yo with tan , combo /oily skin with texture. I prefer a formula that is thin but well pigmented (medium coverage at most) and dries to satin finish . I prefer no alcohol if im going to use daily.
As an olive skinned and combination skinned person, the nee Fenty is the best foundation I have ever tried. The color the formula splendid
Really appreciate the detailed brush options for the titir foundation. Thanks Nikki❤
For anyone looking for Nikki's eyeshadows, they are part of the Maxxxine Half Magic Set. I was looking for them in the individual colors, but from what I can tell, they are only in the set. ☺
Thanks for this video! I tried so hard to make tir tir work, but no other video really gave me any good help. I'm going to try it again with the brush. Thank you!
I loveeeee the Fenty foundation and the color! I usually have to mix but I love this one. I use it with my kosas powder or charlotte press powder. Obsessed!!
I just tried TirTir with a brush and what a game changer. Thanks for a great tip Nikki! ❤
So very helpful, Nikki. I actually own all the foundations you mentioned except the Charlotte Tilbury & totally agree with your assessments! I also own both the brushes you mentioned that are good for the TirTir foundation! Thanks for always keeping it real. Love the eyeshadow too, btw 💙🩵
I love the tir tir, i use a damp beauty blender and its amazing❤
So crazy how Asian beauty is getting the recognition it deserves! You need to try the JSM cushion! It’s my all time favorite cushion foundation and was created by a famous makeup artist there (named after her). I would love to hear your thoughts
Thank you for the thorough review! I had to chuckle at the thought of pairing an elf foundation with a Givenchy powder, though 😂
I really appreciate your comments about the CT stick because I was thinking that I was missing out but I definitely don’t want something as glowy as their flawless filter - which I have but have never been able to use very satisfactorily. I also wanted to say that I actually bought the Naked Sunday SPF that you endorsed on a whim on day and although my oily combo skin loved this gel texture, it really hasn’t played well with a lot of my other makeup-I have found it pills and rolls off a lot of the time, and is better left for makeup free days (which are rare for me lol).
Millani, Elf setting sprays, foundation and anti creasing eye makeup works good for me for few hours. If I want something for a day (10 plus hours) then I use Charlotte T, Estée Lauder or Lancôme. I have few samples of other products I have gotten from friends or when I purchased makeup, but I prefer not having too much of choices for myself, because I don’t use more than natural makeup no makeup, sometimes I do use more chic elegant makeup, and rarely sophisticated makeup. As far as mascara, L’Oréal is great for me, sometimes I get gifts of other brands, but, I prefer minimalist makeup products because I am in favor of natural, classic, quality over quantity, in general, either makeup or else.
Thank you 🙏 so much for your tutorials , suggestions and your presence! ❤💐
Thanks Nikki! Regarding the elf, I am 63 years old with very dry skin. I’ve tried applying this foundation twice now and just can’t get it to work. It sits on my skin. But, since you’ve mentioned using a primer maybe I will try that and give it a shot one more time. Thank you
Okay, you've convinced me to get the Fenty. Thank you for this thorough video!
for under the eyes too, the tirtir puff is better than brush cz it fits that place perfectly rather than the brush
please do a video on your most recommended skin tints!! xxx
Great info, Nikki! I love that 106 BK Beauty brush. I use that with my beloved Hourglass Ambient soft glow foundation. Fabulous!
Hi Desi! Always excited to see your new video. Love all of your recommendations ❤
Nikki, your skin is gorgeous.
I love watching your content.
I'm an oily/combination 58 year old that still breaks out.
It would be great if you could please do makeup on a model that has skin like mine I'd love it or eye makeup to for green eyes on my age group.
Thank you, beautiful ❤
Hi Nikki, I watched your video a few days ago and the decided to try the Tir Tir cushion foundation. I read that many people said it oxidized so I ordered a shade lighter (15C). I applied exactly as you showed with the same brush and it came out lovely. It did look to light at first but it did oxidize one shade and ended up being a perfect match. I needed to use very little of the foundation as it is gives coverage quickly. Thanks for the advice as usual!
Thank you Nikki for all the great recommendations, tips, and tricks! I would love to see your recommendations for full glam evening look with products that look fabulous with photography. I have a 40th class reunion and a wedding coming up soon. I will be the mother of the bride. There will be lots of pictures of course and i want to look my best. Almost 58 years old with dry skin, but am consistent with skincare. I just recently bought your N16 and N17 and cant wait to use them!😊
Thank you for the guidance on applying these foundations. I really want the Fenty soft lit foundation now!!
I’m enjoying the CT stick foundation. I’ve been under painting my cheeks and applying the CT over it for a lit from within look.
This maybe the best video ever to help all the viewers. Thank you
Oh! I'm gonna take your advice with the brushes for the tir tir foundation!
Omg Nikki. You give the best info. I think you saved me 46 bucks on the Charlotte Tilbury stick. 😂 I haven't had luck with Elf foundations. I do like the tir tir. I do have to use it with a brush or beauty blender. I cannot use that sponge that it comes with. I put way too much on with it. But It holds up so well. I have 4 foundations in my makeup bag and the tir tir is the one that I've been reaching for all summer.
Thank you Nikki!! I was wanting to know about all of these products!! It’s like you read my mind😂 Thank you for all the great tips!!!❤
I have all of the above bar the CT stick as that doesn't appeal to me. Love the Fenty and Elf one...but like yourself, I have been blown away by the Tirtir one! In fact I now have the full size of my allover shade and 3 minis of one lighter and two darker shades to brighten and contour and bronze. It's genius and perfect for travel! x
Hi Nikki...I am so glad I found you!!! Question....Can you tell me what shade you used on your Tirtir foundation???? I am probably not your usual demographic follower...I am 63, but I truly enjoy your videos and tutorials. I love the videos where you buy all one category of a product and compare each one for us. I value your expertise! It has helped me sooooo
much with buying cosmetics ... and skin care. I truly appreciate your advice and and grateful that you take the time to explain and show us each product. You are a very kind and compassionate person....and I am grateful that you care so much for your followers to help us like you do. You rock Nikki La Rose!!! ❤🙏✌💐
What an in depth tutorial on these fabulous foundations and techniques for creating your own style. I was wondering what shade are you in the Tir tir foundation?
Thank you so much! I just got the tir tir and I needed that advice to use a brush not the pad. Thank you.
I just bought the new Fenty because the tirtir is too drying on my skin. I'm looking forward to testing it with different sunscreens so i can see what it plays well with before i take it on vacation.
I have super dry skin and I wear the CT foundation stick over my tinted sunscreen and my skin looks beautiful. It is the perfect combo for me! Because my skin is so dry, it doesn't matter how luminous a foundation is, by the end of the day my skin just looks dry, but not the new CT! I love it and have now found my new holy grail make up cocktail!
@@kbaut2579 which tinted sunscreen do you use
your face is so smooth that it really is difficult to observe any difference in the way make up products lay... everythings always turns out gorgeous. I'm just 31 but unfortunately already have visible fine lines and some uneven transitions (i.e. undereyes and rest of face, between brows)... a lot of make up tends to emphasise that. I feel a bit too young for this and it can feel a bit isolating seeing all the baby smooth faces on screen all the time. I still enjoy your videos and you look amazing as always.
Thanks for the in-depth reviews! And user tips for these foundations. Just took the jump and ordered the TirTir foundation. It looks so flawless and pretty on you. Will be coming back and referring to this video. 😊
Thank you for the TirTir tips! I have been hating it because it goes on so heavy and mask like. ❤
I will try it with the brush it’s a great idea because it keeps less bacteria out of the compact. Thanks for the tips
Echoing - what a great tutorial - it is one thing to say a product is good or not so much - quite another to explore and share techniques for successful wear. The thoughts on the Charlotte Tilbury foundation stick are very insightful as well as application for the Tir Tir foundation -Thank you, Nikki-as usual knocked it out of the park!
your makeup slays every single time!! ive been watching your videos all weekend long!!
Thanks Nikki, I feel vindicated of my review of the Fenty foundation… people didn’t like that i said it wasn’t long lasting and that you must powder heavily if you have an oily t-zone. Thanks I feel better now lol!
That eye shadow is amazing!
Hello from Wodonga Australia. Nikki l love how you share your wealth of knowledge and absolutely amazing skills when it comes to makeup with us. You are the best so thank you. xx
Hello from Houston, Texas. 😊
I'm using the black Tirtir cushion foundation. I started with minis of the red and black, and I preferred the light to medium coverage. I use it the the Heimish Artless Glow primer. I may use the red in cooler weather.
I was having such a hard time with the Tirtir. Can’t wait to try this 😅
The NYX blur foundation is wonderful
Hi.... Lovely video, thank you!! ❤
Could you please consider doing a pressed foundation powder and foundation sticks video. I live in a mostly hot sometimes occasionally humid climate area (Nigeria, West Africa). This will be a great help. Thank you in advance 😊
Thank you for the detailed explanation on the various application techniques, so very helpful. Great video!!!
I just tried the new Fenty foundation and I love it. I’m a dry skin girly. I’m an olive undertone too. I’ve had an issue with finding a foundation, drugstore and high end. Fenty nailed my skin tone and undertone in their 225 neutral Olive shade. Im going to try the OG formula too. I’m so happy I get to wear foundation again. I was getting frustrated that all foundations would look pink or orange in natural light, or be the wrong shade.
Thank you, Nikki for your professional view on the products. TirTir is so nice,
looking forward to see how CT works on my skin. Appreciate your tips!
I think it is important to mention that TirTir has fragrance in it. I had a very hard time with it because of the fragrance. Glad I purchased the smaller size. I would love for you to do an entire video on fragrance free skincare and makeup. It is desperately needed for those of us who have reactions to fragrance. Will never understand why companies use it. It is not good for us.
Such a helpful video! Question… how does the TirTir work with wrinkles? I hate when foundation starts gathering in my laugh lines. Thanks!
@@LauraOlsen-pw9gj Over 50… Love it! I use the same brush shown (rather than the sponge) and start with a little and build where needed. It doesn’t crease like others and lasts until washed off. Not one touch-up after hours of wear. (I do use the Givenchy powder in my t-zone to control for oily skin). 😊
@@NYdrThanks! Super helpful to hear from someone who has used the product and has mature skin! 😊
Thank you for showing the use of 2 different brushes with the TirTir cushion foundation instead of the sponge it came with.
Your knowledge and expertise is obviously great and it shows in every single one of your videos. Your make up content is always so educational and so helpful and your products recommendations always prove to be so spot on therefore a great buy. Thank you !
Nikki
Great video as usual. Do u suggest the tir tir for mature, very dry skin?
This was a Master Class! Nikki, you are amazing! Thank you sooooo much! Love all your videos!!! We learn so much every time! 😊
I’m obsessed with the tirtir love the brush tips.
Just got your N16 and my concealer has never looked better 🥹 the application was so easy and quick
These kind of reviews are wonderful. Thank you!
What’s the longest lasting glowy foundation? I have dry skin. Thanks! You are literally my favorite! Love you!
Thank you so very much, Nikki! I bought the TirTir foundation, but I’ve not used it yet. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas for using this lovely foundation! ❤❤❤
