    I am a Mocha Suede girl too. I have tried MANY foundations but have found the Black Opal stick to be the best. It blends effortlessly, I tried the black walnut but its too dark. Great review.

    This is so far the BEST tutorial I have watched. It is SO hard trying to figure out the best match as a woman of color. However, you made your video so easy and informative. It is so amazing to see how each color matches your skin so flawlessly, in my opinion. I will continue to use this vid as a guide, and I can not wait to try the opal products! 💨💃🏽

    @thkrawhunee 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    thanks for the review, you did an awesome job. am I the only who noticed that your skin is ALREADY PERFECT??? you and your skin are STUNNINGLY & PERFECTLY beautiful BEFORE and after! I honestly can't see a difference. you can't perfect perfection (that's a compliment and not a criticism or put down!!!!). you REALLY don't need ANY make up. for you, it is TRULY a waste of time and money (another compliment and not a pt down!).

    I've seen lots of Black Opal makeup tutorials and I have to say that my dark skin sisters are flawlessly smooth and have beautiful skin tones, it seems to me that they have less issues with problem acne like most lighter skin sisters like myself. I'm amazed at how all three shades look so natural on you. Thank you so much for posting

    Amen sister, I brought a Truly Topaz shade, I have used this as my go to for years. I hope they don't discontinue this makeup line, I will be very sad. It last a little while to, if your not too heavy handed with it. I don't know about the other items such as the eye shadows, lipsticks etc. I needed much help with my acne scarring. This covered them pretty well. I do agree with you, some of the makeup is too orange, I am not sure why that is, I've been there done that mistake. Great review. Greetings from the sunny south.

    Im african american with alot of Native American and some Irish descent. I wish I was either dark or light because I have the oddest complexion. I have alot of red and golden undertones. mostly red. Its very difficult for me to find a foundation to match my complexion as well as eye shadows. They either turn me grey red or white LOL This video has helped me tremendously! I have no idea how to make up my face but I feel that I have found the perfect teacher. You are so very beautiful and I love your channel.

    Articulate, informative, details, & to the point for the title of the video. You my friend, are a god send. I will admit, i was skeptical about the length of the vid. I'm coming in late to the makeup game so i've already watched a hundred of these & more often then not, if it's 10mins long, 8 of those minutes will be the person talking about their pet cactus😒😒. Completely irrelevant to the price of tea in china. So i must admit, i was very pleased with the way you detailed the products. I will DEFINITELY be looking for black opal products. Thank you😊

    Hi, Im looking to expand my freelance kit. I have really fair skin so most of my foundations are light (I use airbrush), but I really would like to experiment with some darker shades, I cant afford to get every single color of the stick foundation but which ones would you recommend that would be more useful to mix. I was guessing the darkest one but I wanted to get 2 more to mix so I could have he right shade.

  • @JoJoSXMGyal
    @JoJoSXMGyal 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've tried the Total Coverage Concealer Foundation and I do love how well it matches my color, however the foundation doesn't seem to set (even when I use setting powder)...seem to just lay on my face like a heavy cream.
    If I scratch my face it's under my nails...wipe my mouth and napkin is full of foundation...I wouldn't dare hug/lay my head on someone lol.
    I'm wondering, is the liquid & stick the same way?
    Great video...thank you.
