@madeleinetemplet7967 i am so sorry you have had to endure this. I am sending you love, healing, and strength 💪 If you choose to try again I am sending you baby dust and best wishes your way ♡
I appreciate that you included products that did not come out in 2024. I want to know what your true favorites are regardless of when they came out. I’m a regular consumer and it’s more important to know what you love in general than only recent releases. Thanks!
No mam! We are not getting tired of this type of video or any of your videos. Please don’t ever utter those words ever again! You are highly gifted and for that reason respected.
I legit listen to your longer videos to fall asleep to. 😅 Not because I'm bored because I'm not, I love your knowledge!! However your voice is just so soothing to me 😂 Love ya Nikki! ❤️
I could not agree with or love a comment more!!! Nikki you have brought it back for me, too, and your recommendations are always honest and just excellent!!
It's a bit of a weird compliment, but mostly because I don't know how to say it: you're so good at talking! Your way of explaining things while chatting normally at the same time is such a great quality to have! Whether it's a talent or an acquired skill, i admire it very much!😄 Much love
My excitement literally shoots through the roof when I see you Nikki! I am 41 and falling in love with learning how to enhance my features and your product reviews especially help when you do not want to buy and try if you will. So many recs from you I absolutely love. Please have a wonderful holiday and ty for making this woman feel young again ❤😘
You are so inspirational, dear heart! Thank you for your kindness, knowledge, wisdom, and continual support. Happy new year, dear Nikki, to you, your husband, your pups, and your family! 🎄🎁🐕🐩
I purchased the La Prairie skin caviar foundation and powder and fell in love with it too. Then felt inspired to upgrade my entire make up collection and went curating and downsizing it to only the best of the best. Everything need to be up-to-date, have great performance and... make me happy! The La Prairie powder substituted the Givenchy Poudre Libre fabulously, the Hermes bronzer replaced my used-to-be holy grail Chanel cream bronzer. Got a couple of Valentino blushes, and grabbed a few colors of my favorite pencils: Anastasia for the lips and Victoria Beckham for the eyes... I went for quality over quantity.
I completely agree re quality over quantity. Cant say I'll be buying the foundation as my fiance would do his nut if he saw the price but I completely agree with your sentiments 😊
The best thing i like about you Nikki, is you do a good mix of highend and drugstore....there are lots of influencers who say "oh, im not interested in 'cheap' stuff, i only buy highend".... well, constantly proven, there are Many drugstore items as good, if not better than highend, and not all of us have a huge disposable income, but we all have the right to look and feel good and you give us that. ❤❤❤❤😊
@@Makeupbynikkilarose I love the KVD Dazzle Sticks too but that Half Magic looks so good. They've not long gotten here but I just sort of "meh"-ed on the brand. It looked kiddie ("Claires"? Is that what you guys call it?). That swatch was *not* kiddie. Need it. (There's nothing wrong with finding joy in glitter. Who doesn't?).
Thank you for your videos. My 13 year old daughter and I sit and watch them together on Saturday morning and plan our upcoming sephora trips 😂. I’d love to see a video on how you properly clean your makeup brushes!
The only make up artist I trust and take her suggestions seriously. Today I bought the elf foundation and i m absolutely obsessed. Thank you for your knowledge and honesty ❤
💖 I didn't realize that we're shade twins. The red compact TirTir foundation is where it's at! 23N is my perfect shade match ❤️ I appreciate your opinions on beauty products, but I feel like I really hit the jackpot. I have brown eyes and oily skin so your recommendations are golden. But the Sprinkles, icing and cherry on top is your character, warm heart and community you've nurtured and built💖 hayu masi (many thanks) Nikki💕
Lip liners are so important. I have been wearing them since the 70's. Friends thought I was crazy. A great tube of lipstick can be turned into so many colors with the lip liner you use. I am thoroughly enjoying your 25 days of lip combos on Insta. I have saved the ones I really like. I even went to Melt on line and purchased the lip gloss in Saint. Keep doing what you are doing. We love you Hun. 💖🎄
Happy holidays Mitch and Nikki, Tomas and Bear! Happy early birthday! 🎉I’m a bronzer and blush fanatic as well. Recently falling back in love with Mac blushes 😊
I’ve started just adding things to my loves list for the next time I need bronzer or primer etc… lol. Yeah I’ve spent way too much money on makeup this year. But it’s becoming a hobby for me more than just getting ready in the morning.
Dang. I had it in my cart during the sales but Amazon US shipping has gotten OTT. I wanted to get this and the lightest NYX Butter Bronzer (neither in AUS) but $AU44 shipping for 2 bronzers? No. Sort of FOMOing now lol. Most are just so orange on me (including Hourglass Dragon. AGAIN, Hourglass).
Nikki, your videos are so informative, plus you're so fun to watch! I was watching this video with my 22 year old daughter. She said "If Nikki recommends it, no question it will be great!" I've loved the KVD Good Apple foundation all of 2024 thanks to you. Also, your brush set changed my makeup game forever. One thing I recently discovered that I cannot live without is the Catrice Bright and Blur loose powder. It's the closest thing I've found to replace my Givenchy Prisme Libre. Thank you so much for your videos!!!
I'm so happy I found you and your channel this year! I'm 46 years old and use to wear make up all the time. The past 5 years I've been feeling like a sack of potatoes and just blah. I started watching your videos and starting wearing make up again, using your tips. Since then, I've found myself feeling happier with myself and liking the way I look. Thank you!!!
Nikki I love these videos & enjoy your commentary. Never be sorry for liking a product personally 😉 Because of your channel, I reignited my love for makeup again in 2024! I gained knowledge & confidence to start my mature skin makeup journey. Without you, I would have never tried high end at Sephora - YSL, Givenchy, Dior, Armani. I’m having so much fun. Thank you for sharing your love of makeup whether it’s drugstore, indie, old school MAC, or luxury. Keep the content coming. ❤
A lot of my favorites are the ones that you showed but one that you didn’t that I have fallen in love with is the baked blushes that Allie came up with. They are magical to put on and to wear I just love them.
You are very influential, Nikki! I know this because I have so many of your favorites. You have helped me come back to makeup at 70 years wise and I thank you. I could never tire of your videos and looking forward to many more in 2025. Wishing you,Mitch, and your fur babies a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Big hugs 🎄🫶🏻🥂
I love your videos. I will be 51 next year. Since I have started watching Your videos specifically the amount of compliments I get on my makeup is incredible. It gives me such joy. I was diagnosed with RA late last year and my hands have been affected greatly. So it’s such a boost to hear the compliments and it’s because of your videos and teaching. Please keep them coming
Nikki, I just started following you and GIRL you’re everything I was looking for! I was missing this kinda of content and you’re GIVING IT. Loved it already. All the tips, tutorials and make up world.
I love your videos. Your voice is so soothing and I appreciate how you’re an actual working MUA with real experience and not just an influencer trying to sell us things they probably don’t even use. If I could recommend a video, one where you discuss products you didn’t originally like but figured out how to make it a holy grail would be awesome. I bet we’ve all bought things we don’t like that we’re probably not using correctly. Happy New Year!
My absolute favorites in 2024 are the About-Face The Performer foundation, Caliray tubing mascara, Huda loose powder, NYX Buttermelt bronzer in Butta Cup (worn as a cheekbone highlighter as well as an eyeshadow), Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in mushroom, Sephore lipliner in Sink or Suede, and Ravie Beauty Effortless Lips in Dahlia, Zinnia and Lily. And for skincare, I can't part with my Zero cleansing balm, my Clarins eye cream, and my Paula's Choice moisturizer/primer/SPF.
some of my favorite makeup products in 2024 are Clinque Black honey lip, Maybelline translucent setting powder, one size pink setting powder for under my eyes, glossier eyeliners, elf eyeshadow and miliani eye primer, cover fx, and elf gripping face primer, Charolette tilbury Setting spray
Thank you Nikki your videos have fast become my online makeup reference bible and you are so generous and warm to your audience so thankyou. ❤️🌹I love your favorite’s videos because they feel authentic and again really educational 🎉 My daily go to’s keep evolving as I learn but currently the core beasties are: Maybelline buildabrow, Anastasia brow freeze, Eye of Horus foundation stick in medium, Clio Kill Lash mascara, Fenty contour stick and I’m still trying to find my lips, eyeliner and eyeshadow palette.. lots of fun exploring and evolving and thankyou for your care, knowledge and guidance with that ❤️🌹❤️
I got married and used followed one of your makeup tutorials and used your product recommendations. I got compliments all day and people thought I had my makeup professionally done. I have been a huge fan since then! Thank you for all the content and knowledge this past year! Excited to see what 2025 brings ♥️
That Mario powder!! I listened to your review and ended up getting it in 2 shades: #1 fair pink and #2 neutral light, and boy were you ever right! They are as light as air and really do perfect your skin without looking cakey or heavy. Most definitely my best makeup purchase this year. I literally threw all of my other powder in the garbage, that is how good this powder is!! Thank you for all of your hard work and hope you and Mitch and the babies have a wonderful and happy 2025!!
Happy New Year!! Thank you for sharing YOUR favorites of the year, no matter the cost. These are your picks, we can choose out of those within our budgets 😊.
You look gorgeous ❤ Always love your recommendations. I bought many of them, and love them all. Thank you, and Merry Christmas for you and your family ❤
I have learned SO much from you! In 2023 I had cataract surgery (for years I wore large frame glasses) after the surgery and I no longer had to wear glasses it was like rediscovering my face after 30 years! Truly I did not know how to put make up on, after watching many of your videos I feel reinvented! I have tried to copy your techniques and the joy of putting make up on every day. Thank you, you’ve taught me a lot!
Dear Nikki, I look forward to every new video and thank you and Mitch for this wonderful year. I hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful Christmas. Big Hugs to you and your 3 boys love Selene
I’m probably on my 15th ELF brow fiber. The best brow product hands down!!! And I’ve tried just about all of them! I will cry if they ever stop making it, it’s a love.
Wow. So many great products listed here, Nikki! 🥰I use quite a few of them. My go-to eyeliner is Lisa Eldridge's pencil in Night Forest. I have hazel green eyes, and this makes them pop. Still loving my Kosas Cloudy Set in Breezy. I love the MAC, Revlon, Bravon, and Milani lip liners. My holy grail lips but better match was Shiseido's Rose Vintage lip liner, but it was discontinued. Revlon's "Mink" shade is a pretty close match. My lips are very cool toned, a blue-based rosy lilac hue, pretty pigmented naturally, so I can't pull off the nude tones. They give me a lipless look against my fair skin and dark hair. 😉 I have always had full, naturally archy brows, but now that I'm in my early 60s I'm losing some brow hairs. I love palette kits applied with a brush. I've used Smashbox, e.l.f., and others. I also love Benefit's brow microfilling pen in Brunette and the EM Cosmetics microfluff pen, along with some drugstore microfine pencils. I'm brow-obsessed, too. lol The EM Cosmetics cream stick blush in Venetian Rose is a dusty rose shade I think you would love, Nikki!
YOU are my makeup soulmate! 🥰 I purchased so many of your recommendations from makeup forever lip liners, to the Calie bronzing drops, makeup by Mario pressed powder, and my new favorite concealer by kulfai...plus so many more. I spent a great deal at Sephora. However, there was not one item that I did not absolutely love. Thank you so much for all you do. You are beautiful inside and out. I just know you are a pure soul. Wishing you a very happy holiday and an abundance of blessings in 2025! ❤ Milly
Hi Nikki, I didn't want the year to end without thanking you for all the knowledge you share with all of us!! Thanks to all your videos that I watched, I was able to do my makeup for my brother's wedding and feel confident that I knew what I was doing and be proud of the result and feel pretty. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Huge hugs from Chile and all the best for 2025 for you and your loved ones!
I could never get tired of any of your videos. They are all great. Loved all your personal products. I couldn't wait for you to get to your favorite list of lipsticks-gloss but you just had the two. 😫 I just received all of your brushes and love each one of them!
Love seeing your favorites!! Especially knowing these products really did what you needed them to do is priceless!! You try so many different brands & products for us & always give your honest opinions! You are always graceful & kind when you find things that don’t work & graceful & kind with the items you love. Thank you for battling it out for us to help us find the most useful products & we appreciate you so very much!! My favorite finds this year based on your recommendations are the Elf liquid bronzer, the Essence lash conditioner, & both the Essence & Elf mascaras. Thank you Nikki for this video!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My favs are the Half Magic dopamine & the Essence lashes without limits. Got both & love them. The mascara really does not clump or flake.❤❤ Also the Elf halo glow.
LOVE these types of videos! I'm so sorry you feel like you have to apologize for liking expensive products. I can't afford any of them and that's ok! I love watching you create magic with makeup in general. it doesn't matter if it's affordable or high-end.
Great video! Some of my favorites are the Bobbi Brown under eye correct ( for years now), Makeup by Mario brushes (all), Persona Cosmetics eyeliners, MUFE eye and lip pencils, Denessa Myricks cream blushes (all), HUDA Beauty liquid blushes and Patrick Starr setting spray and powder, and Hourglass loose powder.
Ugh I love your videos so much, it reminds me of OG makeup TH-cam, so fun and informative. I haven’t been this excited about makeup in years! Does anyone know this nail color? I’m OBSESSED.
I have never tried the L’oréal bronzer because I am still obsessed with the Physicians Formulas Butter bronzer. My personal holy grail and favorite from the drugstore❤️
You are just a joy to watch, learn from and be inspired by Nikki! Your product reviews are so so good and I have loved everything you’ve gotten me to buy🤩 I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a blessed 2025❤️🥂
Will never get enough of seeing your favorites of makeup 💄 and everything else Nikki!! We love it all 🙌🏼🥰 thank you so much for all you share and teach us ❤️🙏🏼
This is the second time I'm watching. But it's been hours so. Lol I never get tired of you. Can't get enough!! I'm about to pull the trigger on the la prairie powder. I'm desperate. My dry skin needs help.. I already have the foundation cuz of you. I also have a lot of powders. Also I'm a bronzer freak too. I have so many. Thanks for sharing your favorite products! Loved it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for all the hard work and time you put forth to bring us your videos! I enjoy, learn amd realx. Would you consider doing a tutorial on today's look? Its stunning!
Nikki , please never feel too guilty for indulging yourself in luxury makeup from time to time . Makeup is your career after all! You’ve put so much effort into it, you deserve the best! Especially if you continue trying out and giving us options within different price ranges, just like you have been, even in this very video 👍And yes, please, share your discoveries with us. This way, when we want to treat ourselves to a beautiful luxurious product, at least we know which one is truly worth it!
I love your favorites videos most of all! Thanks for the amazing videos this year - keep them coming - DONT GIVE UP THE SHIP! My favorites this year were L’Oréal freshwear liquid foundation and powder bronzer, essence last princess mascara in the dark pink / hourglass wand, and brown eyeliners from makeup by Mario and persona.
Merry Christmas!!!!! My present to myself was 2 N17 brushes. Thank you for all your tips and tricks also recommendations!!!!! Best wishes for a blessed new year!!!
You made me fall in love with makeup again. 2024 was the hardest year of my life due to a miscarriage, but you and your videos brought a little joy!🫶🏻
I am so very sorry for your loss❤️
I'm so sorry to hear that 😭 I hope you're doing better now ❤️
@madeleinetemplet7967 i am so sorry you have had to endure this. I am sending you love, healing, and strength 💪
If you choose to try again I am sending you baby dust and best wishes your way ♡
So sorry ❤
So sorry. I know what it's like as I had 2 miscarriages.
I probably speak for everyone when I say this - Nikki, I'll never tire of you sharing your knowledge, faves, or fails. U r the best!!❤
Word!
Yes she is amazing
1000%%
❤❤❤❤
Yes! 10000000%!!
I appreciate that you included products that did not come out in 2024. I want to know what your true favorites are regardless of when they came out. I’m a regular consumer and it’s more important to know what you love in general than only recent releases. Thanks!
No mam! We are not getting tired of this type of video or any of your videos. Please don’t ever utter those words ever again! You are highly gifted and for that reason respected.
This!
That eye makeup is to die for!!!

Love ya Nikki! ❤️
She really should make soothing vouce tapes to help you wind down and fall asleep to, such a relaxed soothing voice❤❤😊
Same here 😴
@@lynettefinnigan9540 yes
For a while I felt like the TH-cam makeup space was dying. But girl you brought it back!!!! Love all your videos and trust your opinions!! ❤❤❤
I couldn't agree more!
I could not agree with or love a comment more!!! Nikki you have brought it back for me, too, and your recommendations are always honest and just excellent!!
I completely agree

The elf is good too but tube emptied too fast.

I love them both 🥰
It really is! Glad you agree with me!

Happy holidays Mitch and Nikki, Tomas and Bear! Happy early birthday! 🎉I’m a bronzer and blush fanatic as well. Recently falling back in love with Mac blushes 😊
I do like the colors especially the pink splash. Great job.
I’m afraid to watch this video lol 😂 because I’ve bought so many of your recommendations over the past year. And I have loved every single one!
Same!!
That makes me so so happy! But totally understand the fear of watching this one lol!!!!😂
Same!
I’ve started just adding things to my loves list for the next time I need bronzer or primer etc… lol. Yeah I’ve spent way too much money on makeup this year. But it’s becoming a hobby for me more than just getting ready in the morning.
The lightest shade of the L'Oreal bronzer is hands-down the best for very fair skin not to look fake or orange.
Dang. I had it in my cart during the sales but Amazon US shipping has gotten OTT. I wanted to get this and the lightest NYX Butter Bronzer (neither in AUS) but $AU44 shipping for 2 bronzers? No. Sort of FOMOing now lol. Most are just so orange on me (including Hourglass Dragon. AGAIN, Hourglass).

I love the Guerlain bronzer. I have both 2 and 3
Never get tired of all your favorites videos and holy grail products!! Thank you Nikki!!
Wow. So many great products listed here, Nikki! 🥰I use quite a few of them. My go-to eyeliner is Lisa Eldridge's pencil in Night Forest. I have hazel green eyes, and this makes them pop. Still loving my Kosas Cloudy Set in Breezy. I love the MAC, Revlon, Bravon, and Milani lip liners. My holy grail lips but better match was Shiseido's Rose Vintage lip liner, but it was discontinued. Revlon's "Mink" shade is a pretty close match. My lips are very cool toned, a blue-based rosy lilac hue, pretty pigmented naturally, so I can't pull off the nude tones. They give me a lipless look against my fair skin and dark hair. 😉 I have always had full, naturally archy brows, but now that I'm in my early 60s I'm losing some brow hairs. I love palette kits applied with a brush. I've used Smashbox, e.l.f., and others. I also love Benefit's brow microfilling pen in Brunette and the EM Cosmetics microfluff pen, along with some drugstore microfine pencils. I'm brow-obsessed, too. lol The EM Cosmetics cream stick blush in Venetian Rose is a dusty rose shade I think you would love, Nikki!
YOU are my makeup soulmate! 🥰 I purchased so many of your recommendations from makeup forever lip liners, to the Calie bronzing drops, makeup by Mario pressed powder, and my new favorite concealer by kulfai...plus so many more. I spent a great deal at Sephora. However, there was not one item that I did not absolutely love. Thank you so much for all you do. You are beautiful inside and out. I just know you are a pure soul. Wishing you a very happy holiday and an abundance of blessings in 2025! ❤ Milly
Hi Nikki, I didn't want the year to end without thanking you for all the knowledge you share with all of us!!
Thanks to all your videos that I watched, I was able to do my makeup for my brother's wedding and feel confident that I knew what I was doing and be proud of the result and feel pretty. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Huge hugs from Chile and all the best for 2025 for you and your loved ones!

My favorite finds this year based on your recommendations are the Elf liquid bronzer, the Essence lash conditioner, & both the Essence & Elf mascaras. Thank you Nikki for this video!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I absolutely love the wand on that too! I am justgetting into make up, but that has been thebest to workwith my thick lashes.
My favs are the Half Magic dopamine & the Essence lashes without limits. Got both & love them. The mascara really does not clump or flake.❤❤ Also the Elf halo glow.
