How to best organize your makeup! I know as a content creator you have more makeup than the average person but what are some ways to think about storing our makeup to make it easy to use? I worry if I keep my fave products out I'll never reach for the rest of them, but then when I don't I get annoyed digging through the rest for what I know I want lol.
Great idea!! I love a condensed makeup bag. Every time i travel, I think, "I should live this way all the time!" And I'm working towards it 😅 have finished a lot of products this year.
I have a minimal routine but none of the products featured in this video. So for the 50+ fair cool undertoned dry to medium skin girlies in Europe, this is my daily face "uniform" every day, workday or weekend : 1) cerave moisterizer spf 50. (affordable + dries down perfectly to apply make up over it and a perfect sealant for my serums) 2) concealer : Sisley Eye Concealer With Botanical Extracts color 1 (corector and concealer in one that does not need to be set as it will stay in place and not crease, one tube last me 1,5 years and I use it every day) 3) foundation + Brush : Lancome Teine Idole Ultra wear stick, color lys rose + Saie the big brush. (This foundation is so bang on with the color, I don't even need to drag it down to the neck, you can't see the difference. I pass the big brush a few times lightly over the stick and stamp the brush on to my face and finish with buffing it lightly. The finish is amazing on my 50+ mature skin. Not mat, not shiny, just a soft satin finish very skin like) 4) bronzer and blush in one + Brush : I use a lipstick from Lisa Eldridge, a light mauve beige color - Roma. Pass the Saie base brush a few times over the bullet and apply it around my imaginary sunglasses + middel of the upper lip + chin. It gives a subtle kiss of color in a beautifull satin finish. Again a cream product to not enhance dry skin and wrinkles. 5) one and done eye shadow : eye shadow stick laura mercier - color coffee for a smokey eye. (a mat dark color as to not highlight any crepy or wrinkly skin. I do put a light powder on the upper lid above the crease under my eyebrow to prevent transfer from lower lid to the lidspace above the crease) 6) lipstick : Lisa eldridge color De Medici or Clarins lip balm color fig. Both cool colored lipsticks, perfect for every day wear. 7) mascara : Smashbox Mascara Full Exposure Waterproof Mascara. The best mascara to lift those lashes and keep them there. Very difficult to come by in Belgium, so I stocked up. 8) Brow gel : Maybelline New York Super Lock Brow Glue clear Voila, greetings from Belgium
I would love a video on essential brushes. There seems to be so many options and I never know what is best for what kind of texture/product. It's overwhelming!
I personally love using my bronzer as an eyeshadow for days when i don't really wanna go all out on my makeup but I still want some sort of colour!! I imagine even a blush would be nice
I adore this types of videos!! They are awesome. So thank you for sharing your options. I can pass with only 3 products: concealer, lipstick (doubles as a blush), tiny 5 pan eyeshadow pallette with neutrals (doubles as eyebrow product, eyeshadow, eyeliner, bronzer and contour).
My routine goes like this: 1. Tinted moisturizer esc product 2. Brow and lash mascara (I use the clear elf one) 3. Multiuse blush (Burt’s bees multi balm for me! Can be used for lips, blush, eyes) 4. Highlighter stick (nyx eye pencil in yogurt shade; I also use for my eyes sometimes) 5. Some sort of lip product (normally lip oil or balm)
I started wearing daily mascara (and occasionally lip gloss) at 12. Now, almost 20 years later, these are the only products I'd replace if I was starting from scratch: sunscreen, hair oil, moisturiser, burgundy lipstick, tinted lip balm, BB cream, mascara, black eye pencil, facial cleanser, Vaseline, perfume rollerball, manicure kit. And I love your list too! That Dior eyeshadow is gorgeous
I’ve been trying to do this for short trips lately! Mine are- Concealer (kosas for sure!) Blush (right now for me it’s Rhode) Powder (a huge must imo. Huda Beauty and Laura Mercier are tied for me) Eyeliner + mascara (Stila liquid liner and Caliray’s mascara) Lip liner + lipstick (either a Mac or MUFE liner with my Lancôme lipstick) Technically that’s more than five, but it all fits into my tiny to-go makeup pouch! And I don’t use brushes with this routine, just a cushion/powder puff
Since I go for a more "goth-y" every day look (and have oily skin) my 5 would be: Glossier stretch concealer, Rituel de Fille Colour Nectar Pigment Balm in Hornet (cool brown for lips, contour and eyes), Palladio clear brow gel, L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara, and Annabelle Perfect Setting Powder.
I love these types of videos. Right now my go-to weekday routine is moisturizer/sunscreen, one and done shadow, mascara, foundation or concealer as foundation, blush, lipstick/gloss/oil, setting spray. If I have more time or it's the weekend, I'll add eyeliner or a crease shade or both, separate foundation and concealer, bronzer, and highlighter.
A nice option for makeup minimalism - Salt NY sneaky balm, color corrector if you have dark circles, and a blush in a good color for you (also good on lips). You put the pans in a little quad palette, so you have one space left for a future purchase. Finish up with a light powder to tame the shine (I like Wakemake Stay Fixer - a finely milled Korean translucent option, but the Wet & Wild is easy to get and surprisingly good) and something to define your eyes, probably mascara. A brow product if you feel you need one - I usually use vaseline, since my brows are fairly thick and also partly covered by my glasses.
What went into my makeup pouch during travel recently: 1. Tinted sunscreen (Supergoop Protect(int)) 2. Brow product (innisfree brow pencil) 3. Cream blusher (Clinique melon pop) 4. A couple of fav lip color options (Clinique black honey, Charlotte Tilbury Happy Lips) That’s it! Didn’t even pack eye shadows or mascara and didn’t miss them 😂
"Such a great roundup of essentials! It’s refreshing to see a simplified approach to makeup-these products seem so versatile and high-quality. Definitely taking notes for my own collection. Thanks for sharing your must-haves!"
I don’t wear foundation on a regular basis. I prefer to spot conceal these days. I enjoy the Dior Forever skin correct. I like that I can get a light concealer with an olive undertone. They give you quite a bit of it. Mine keeps going and going….
This is so much more compact than other videos/posts about essential make-up - i've seen one that had foundation, tinted moistruiser, 2 concealers, two cream blushes and two powder blushes and two different colour mascaras etc... i cant possibly need all of that
I’m a make up minimalist, sort of. I have a foundation cushion I use as concealer, my sunscreen is basically a primer, a liquid liner, 2 eyeshadow sticks, mascara, mini contour powder that doubles as an eyebrow product (im blonde so it works well), a blush and a few lip tints. Listed out it seems like a lot to me. I just don’t like having drawers/cabinets full of make up, but I still enjoy putting it on
The HaruHaru is SO good!! My six are HaruHaru, PuritoBB, Milani tubing mascara, glossier swept bronzer, salt blush, and Anastasia brow with urban decay liner and a clear lip balm❤
@you’re not wrong! For my skin (olive but also red 🤡) it really works and doesn’t look that way. Everything else I try is just too… something- yellow or pink or orange. During the summer I put a drop of the glossier bronzer to warm it up a touch. I wish they had more shades so everyone could experience it in the way I do 😂
Because of this video I bought a cream blush and it was a game changer! Also went through my makeup collection with a cricital eye and decluttered my "fantasy self" makeups. Thank you for this video ♡
The Dior Forever Skin concealer is my holy grail! It can totally work as a foundation and look natural. But lately I've been loving the Natasha Denona concealer too, they're both incredible
Amen to the HaruHaru Wonder!!! It’s the only sunscreen I have actually wanted to use everyday it’s my moisturizer sunscreen and primer 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 the new Westman concealer is exceptional … I was actually impressed and shocked lol I’ve never been able to use it under my eyes until I found it and these recently the Kosas Tower 28 and Tarte Creamy Creaseless are all great all over for “mature skin” lol flawless smoothing plumping WE is incredible and then the Natasha powder foundation on top was my summer go to
I can just use my Lancome bronzer for blush and eyeshadow too … also another product I’ve never been able to wear before I found this shade in Fair and light is also the perfect eyeshadow shade with a shimmer … done! I love Dior Beige Mitzah!!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 blends out beautifully!!! It’s the best!!!
I think I would pick the Tower 28 concealer, Gimme Brow, Maybelline Full n Soft mascara, CP Flexitarian for eyes or highlighter, and Balm Desert for bronzer, eyes and blush.
What I carry in my purse is the merit stick, Kosas powder, brow gel, mascara, and tinted lip balm. This is mostly makeup I wear when I didn’t have time to do it at home. Which is always 😊
This is such a great idea! I can't go without my SPF anymore, it's been such a gamechanger for me and my skin! My six would be: SPF- Cancer Council sensitive sunscreen and moisturiser. It's not greasy, but it also works for my dry skin over top of moisturiser (others would be too thick, and to apply it, I'd just feel so oily and like I was pulling at my face to try and get it on). It's the only sunscreen I've liked, but it has to be the face moisturiser and sunscreen! Concealer- Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer (with the puff) isn't my favourite concealer, but it works so well as a foundation as well, or on days when I don't want to wear a lot of makeup. It conceals, it gives me coverage but it's still light. And most of all, it doesn't sting like some concealers do under my eyes on bad skin days. Blush - I've been using rare beauty recently, but my absolute favourite are the Australis Dewy and Daring blush sticks. They're wonderful, I love all of the colours, and they are so user friendly. I can just swipe straight on from the tube and blend with a blush or a beauty blender and I am good to go. Eyeshadow - If I'm not using my blush (especially Nars blush in orgasm), I'm using an Australis pallette with both glitter and mattes, or the Soph X Revolution pallette. I love just adding some glitter and moving on, but I also love that the palettes come with some matte colours as well! Big fan of colours, and it also doubles very nicely as eyeliner if there's darker shades as well. Mascara - Maybelline Lash Paradise used to be my favourite, but I recently retried Maybelline Sky High after not liking it, and I will admit I've fallen in love with it. I have cosmic black and burgundy and they make my lashes look so full. Lips - I'm very simple with lips. If it's not MAC lipstick in Twig, it's the burst bees lip balm in Vanilla. I love a thick lip balm, and now that I can't buy Hurraw anymore the Burts Bees Vanilla is just amazing.
On most days I only need 3 products for cosmetics: lash curler, (lip) balm to fixate the lashes + the most important product, lipstick. Always need some color to brighten up my face. A spooly for the brows and lipgloss are nice to have for everyday too. Concealer & powder I only use when I need my makeup to hold up, e.g. an event or to cover up pimples/scars. Blush, eyeshadow and mascara I use when I am in the mood to play and look a little glamourous, which is rare nowadays. :D
For me lipstick is an essential! But lipstick can work as a blush too same way as cream blush. I think am going to try that tower28 mascara since it's also available in brown. I was the one asking for a minimal luxury make up kit this made me happy so thank you 🙏 Btw Lisa Eldridge is everything right? Have you reviewed already the skin tint? Or the kitten lash mascara? Wand looks similar to the tower28 one. How abt a full face of Lisa Eldridge beauty 👀💄✨
Great video Amanda! Amd so soothing. My essentials are similar to yours in terms of types of products and even specific ones. A moisturizing sunscreen (te kiss me mommy is great as well as the naturium glow spf 50), I’ve used the Dior forever concealer to use on the face for any redness or an occasional blemish for many years as it is the best olive toned line ever for my light olive skin (2Warm olive is quite light) and it has the perfect mix of yellow and green in it. The Armani lines have pretty nice ones also and I use both the one you showed and the power fabric one. No foundation for me generally. A blush for sure as it’s my fav product and I like to change the tones in the fall and summer by adding a liquid bronzer or terracotta tone into other colors and mix them. I love saie and rare beauty and creams like Patrick Ta, merit (fox and the red one are my favs), tower 28 red, rose inc foxglove, clear brow gel sometimes as I have full brows but I keep them shaped, a taupey or dark champagne satin shadow (love beige mitzah!), curled lashes - they are dark and full so sometimes no mascara but I love merit mascara for quick or Clio waterproof, and a tinted gloss or lip oil like Dior mahogany or Clinique black honey. That’s the routine if I have to put on my makeup and leave in 5 minutes. I just can’t seem to make myself take only this when I travel tho. I always take too much🤦🏻♀️
Elf camo concealer has totally replaced tarte shape tape for me. I have a lot of undereye lines, so something that actually dries down but isn’t super cakey is essential! And usually a loose powder for under eyes, something hypoallergenic like coverfx or lawless. Favourite face powder is kosas cloud set, just perfects everything. I do also sometimes just really like a powder foundation or mineral powder because it gives you a decent amount of coverage very quickly and without fuss, just to even things out! You dont even have to use concealer with it, depending on the coverage. If I want a light coverage foundation, fenty eaze drop. But I really want to try the danessa myricks blurring balm powder too.
I would love to see a “product versatility” video where you have two looks but same products. Really showing how you can amp up the one product but also doing a light application for another look. Idk if I’m making sense but I love using my same products for different occasions it’s just how you use them that can change a look from glam vs. every day. ✨
My spf is called a moisturizing spf primer lol, so because I have oily skin if I have a hydrating primer I can use it as all three of those steps if I’m in a rush :) naked Sundays! Great product, decent price
I also love 'pops of color' (like a mauve or an orange) one and done eyeshadows! It doesn't take a lot of work to add something playful to my look that way
If I were a minimalist I would use Naturium Dew Glow Moisturizer Moisturizer, Merit The Minimalist, Trinny London Lash2Brow, Pearl Beauty Setting Powder and Trinny London Sheer Shimmer 😊
My top 6 Chanel CC cream Canmake cream blush RCMA Pressed Powder Clinique Touch Base for Eyes Opera Lip Tint Shiseido Majolica Majorca Lash Tint. Obviously sunscreen. I live in Louisiana i would perish without it.
Today is a great example of low effort makeup- Salt NY sneaky balm skin tint warmed up on the back of my hand and spread around with fingers Salt NY contour balm on cheeks and eyes Judy doll contour palette for cheeks and eyes (easily makes my dark circles look like an intentional smoky eye lol) The saem curling mascara Whatever lipgloss Im trying to use up 😂 End result is looking well rested and more put together and I wore this basically every day for a few weeks traveling, only thing I would do next time is bring an alternative skin tint since wearing the same thing every day regardless of product tends to make my skin angry 😂
10:52 what is the shade of Fwee pudding pot you were showing? I have same skin tone as you, and I often blind bought products that you like and look good on you.
I think I am going to try the Kosas concealer because I am still on the hunt for THE ONE. I have really dark circles so I always went for the full coverage ones but they tend to make my under eyes look not as flattering as they cold so I'm interested in trying the one you've recommended in this video and do more colour correcting. 😃The Saie Dew Blush in Spicy also wants to come and live in my house now. 😂 Exactly my colour! 😍
On an everyday basis I use the la colors brow pencil in soft brown, la colors clear lash bond mascara, and essence shine shine lip gloss (you can tell I’m on a budget) sometimes I will add blush from essence too
Great video Amanda!! Im trying to downsize my collection so this is particularly usegul 😅 Do you have any idea what eyeshadow is in your eyes in the tower 28 make waves demo?
Love your videos! Just in the interest of feedback, i don't prefer the overhead shot/voiceover combo. I would mich prefer the talking head setup. But thats just one vote! Thanks for the video!
I have half light and personally feel like it’s more neutral-cool than warm. It’s beautiful but it doesn’t last the whole the day on me. I don’t usually have that issue with other shadows. But it doesnt look bad as it fades away so that’s a plus. It’s not something I’ll put on in the morning unless I’ll be home by the afternoon. I haven’t heard anyone complain about the issue I have with it though, so maybe I’m doing something to affect the performance.
Thanks for the comparison between the Dior and RDF shadows! Does the Rituel de Fille have good lasting power? I love the color but I really struggle with getting products to last on my oily, hooded lids.
If you have oily lids, blotting them, then using an eye primer, can make a big difference. Using a cream shadow/stick, e.g. Victoria Beckham, Sydney Grace, Bobbi Brown, etc. can also give a powder product something to grab on to, or last longer on its own, for a one & done. You make just have to tap your crease out w/your finger if it gathers there during the day.
@ My current routine is blot, eye primer (currently Milani), setting powder then whatever I plan to use. I haven’t tried the VB sticks yet, but both the Bobbi Brown and Laura Mercier crease on me. The thing that lasts the longest before creasing on me is Mac paint pots, but I’m looking for something new.
What videos like this do you want to see next? What questions do you have that you'd like to see a video on?
How to best organize your makeup! I know as a content creator you have more makeup than the average person but what are some ways to think about storing our makeup to make it easy to use?

1) Sunscreen
2) Concealer (that you can also use as foundation)
3) Multipurpose blush
4) Brow fixer
5) Eye shadow
6) Mascara
Thanks you !
Great idea!! I love a condensed makeup bag. Every time i travel, I think, "I should live this way all the time!" And I'm working towards it 😅 have finished a lot of products this year.
Same 😂😂😂 except the occasional random colour I suddenly want I always think this is the life! 😂😂😂
Yes, me too ❤❤❤

Voila, greetings from Belgium
Very appreciated! 😍 50+ with fair cool undertone and skin medium/dry - thank you for sharing your routine - love it 💖
That sisley concealer is soooo underrated, I have never found anything that good 👌
I would love a video on essential brushes. There seems to be so many options and I never know what is best for what kind of texture/product. It's overwhelming!
I personally love using my bronzer as an eyeshadow for days when i don't really wanna go all out on my makeup but I still want some sort of colour!! I imagine even a blush would be nice
The westman atelier is so good for this.
As a blue eyed girlie, I LOVE blush as eyeshadow
I adore this types of videos!! They are awesome. So thank you for sharing your options. I can pass with only 3 products: concealer, lipstick (doubles as a blush), tiny 5 pan eyeshadow pallette with neutrals (doubles as eyebrow product, eyeshadow, eyeliner, bronzer and contour).

And I love your list too! That Dior eyeshadow is gorgeous
This video was super calming. I like this style
I’ve been trying to do this for short trips lately! Mine are-
Concealer (kosas for sure!)
Blush (right now for me it’s Rhode)
Powder (a huge must imo. Huda Beauty and Laura Mercier are tied for me)
Eyeliner + mascara (Stila liquid liner and Caliray’s mascara)
Lip liner + lipstick (either a Mac or MUFE liner with my Lancôme lipstick)
Technically that’s more than five, but it all fits into my tiny to-go makeup pouch! And I don’t use brushes with this routine, just a cushion/powder puff
Since I go for a more "goth-y" every day look (and have oily skin) my 5 would be: Glossier stretch concealer, Rituel de Fille Colour Nectar Pigment Balm in Hornet (cool brown for lips, contour and eyes), Palladio clear brow gel, L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara, and Annabelle Perfect Setting Powder.

3. Cream blusher (Clinique melon pop)
4. A couple of fav lip color options (Clinique black honey, Charlotte Tilbury Happy Lips)
That’s it! Didn’t even pack eye shadows or mascara and didn’t miss them 😂
+1 for ease of use. No matter how good you are at applying makeup, everyone loves to save time!

"esque"?! The only thing that's missing is an Australian accent, 😂!
shes the best!
Who’s Matilda?
@dootdoot5617Matilda on video! She’s a faceless makeup account who does the camera-over-desk format.
I’m a make up minimalist, sort of.

The HaruHaru is SO good!! My six are HaruHaru, PuritoBB, Milani tubing mascara, glossier swept bronzer, salt blush, and Anastasia brow with urban decay liner and a clear lip balm❤
I want to try the purito bb but the shades are so grey
@you’re not wrong! For my skin (olive but also red 🤡) it really works and doesn’t look that way. Everything else I try is just too… something- yellow or pink or orange.

I find that tinted fibre brow gels work fine for adding volume and colour. Elf wow brow is cheap and very effective!
I can just use my Lancome bronzer for blush and eyeshadow too … also another product I’ve never been able to wear before I found this shade in Fair and light is also the perfect eyeshadow shade with a shimmer … done! I love Dior Beige Mitzah!!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 blends out beautifully!!! It’s the best!!!

Amanda, I love your take on makeup. Its so precise, elegant and beautiful. Thank you so much. Love from Perth, Western Australia xxx
For me lipstick is an essential! But lipstick can work as a blush too same way as cream blush. I think am going to try that tower28 mascara since it's also available in brown. I was the one asking for a minimal luxury make up kit this made me happy so thank you 🙏
Btw Lisa Eldridge is everything right? Have you reviewed already the skin tint? Or the kitten lash mascara? Wand looks similar to the tower28 one. How abt a full face of Lisa Eldridge beauty 👀💄✨
My makeup essentials are def concealer, blush, bronzer, mascara/eyeliner, and lip gloss (I count sunscreen and a good milky toner as skincare/prep)
the eyeshadow looks almost iridescent green in some shots, gorgeous!
I have used Glossier Stretch Concealer “as foundation” for years. I love it!
Some Mascara are also ok for mulituse. Some can use brown mascara as a colored brow gel.
Dior Forever Skin Correct for the win!
This is such a great video for travel especially! It's so hard for me to resist bringing 10,000 things whenever I'm going ANYWHERE
I got that Kosas concealer off your rec during the Sephora sale and I L-O-V-E it so thanks!
That GA concealer is my jam
Beautiful makeup tutorial ❤
Great video Amanda! Amd so soothing. My essentials are similar to yours in terms of types of products and even specific ones. A moisturizing sunscreen (te kiss me mommy is great as well as the naturium glow spf 50), I’ve used the Dior forever concealer to use on the face for any redness or an occasional blemish for many years as it is the best olive toned line ever for my light olive skin (2Warm olive is quite light) and it has the perfect mix of yellow and green in it. The Armani lines have pretty nice ones also and I use both the one you showed and the power fabric one. No foundation for me generally. A blush for sure as it’s my fav product and I like to change the tones in the fall and summer by adding a liquid bronzer or terracotta tone into other colors and mix them. I love saie and rare beauty and creams like Patrick Ta, merit (fox and the red one are my favs), tower 28 red, rose inc foxglove, clear brow gel sometimes as I have full brows but I keep them shaped, a taupey or dark champagne satin shadow (love beige mitzah!), curled lashes - they are dark and full so sometimes no mascara but I love merit mascara for quick or Clio waterproof, and a tinted gloss or lip oil like Dior mahogany or Clinique black honey. That’s the routine if I have to put on my makeup and leave in 5 minutes. I just can’t seem to make myself take only this when I travel tho. I always take too much🤦🏻♀️
This is a great video and I really appreciate the focus on fewer products.
The only thing missing for me is I have to have something for my lips, such as a lip balm. Thank you for the minimal look it’s my favorite.
Elf camo concealer has totally replaced tarte shape tape for me. I have a lot of undereye lines, so something that actually dries down but isn’t super cakey is essential! And usually a loose powder for under eyes, something hypoallergenic like coverfx or lawless. Favourite face powder is kosas cloud set, just perfects everything. I do also sometimes just really like a powder foundation or mineral powder because it gives you a decent amount of coverage very quickly and without fuss, just to even things out! You dont even have to use concealer with it, depending on the coverage. If I want a light coverage foundation, fenty eaze drop. But I really want to try the danessa myricks blurring balm powder too.
I would love to see a “product versatility” video where you have two looks but same products. Really showing how you can amp up the one product but also doing a light application for another look. Idk if I’m making sense but I love using my same products for different occasions it’s just how you use them that can change a look from glam vs. every day. ✨
LOVE this idea
Amazing Cosmetics has great concealers! I’m surprised they don’t get more love and attention. You just need a tiny bit under your eyes.
as an indian woman, i'd add kajal and bindi also to the essential kit!
Everything I bought based on your recommendations was perfect. Happy thanks for your nice work ❤
My spf is called a moisturizing spf primer lol, so because I have oily skin if I have a hydrating primer I can use it as all three of those steps if I’m in a rush :) naked Sundays! Great product, decent price
Great video! Give us your Top 3 in every category.
Hmmmm seems like a video idea...
Gorgeous looking!
I also love 'pops of color' (like a mauve or an orange) one and done eyeshadows! It doesn't take a lot of work to add something playful to my look that way
If I were a minimalist I would use Naturium Dew Glow Moisturizer Moisturizer, Merit The Minimalist, Trinny London Lash2Brow, Pearl Beauty Setting Powder and Trinny London Sheer Shimmer 😊
MAC Studio Fix Powder foundation , Studio Fix spray, MAC cork eyeshadow for brows, bronzer , blush , mascara , lipstick
My essentials: chantacaille future skin foundation, kosas revealer concealer, westman atelier baby cheeks in chouchette, charlotte tilbury rock n kohl eye pencil, rare beauty lip oil
It’s really beautiful products
Reminds me of my high-school and college makeup collections.
My top 6
Chanel CC cream
Canmake cream blush
RCMA Pressed Powder
Clinique Touch Base for Eyes
Opera Lip Tint
Shiseido Majolica Majorca Lash Tint. Obviously sunscreen. I live in Louisiana i would perish without it.
LOVE this video. Wish you gave one lip recommendation. But I get it :)
my thought exactly!! i was sad when she didn’t share a lip recc but i understand the reasoning behind it 🥲💕
Today is a great example of low effort makeup-
Salt NY sneaky balm skin tint warmed up on the back of my hand and spread around with fingers
Salt NY contour balm on cheeks and eyes
Judy doll contour palette for cheeks and eyes (easily makes my dark circles look like an intentional smoky eye lol)
The saem curling mascara
Whatever lipgloss Im trying to use up 😂
End result is looking well rested and more put together and I wore this basically every day for a few weeks traveling, only thing I would do next time is bring an alternative skin tint since wearing the same thing every day regardless of product tends to make my skin angry 😂
Love this...thank you!💜
10:52 what is the shade of Fwee pudding pot you were showing?
I have same skin tone as you, and I often blind bought products that you like and look good on you.
I was looking for it as well! It is not mentionned 😢
"my!"
@@AmandaZ thank you 😘
I just using 3 makeup product, namely cushion, lip tint (also for blush and eyeshadow), mascara (for browcara also) and ready to go❤
Nice collection 🥰
I think I am going to try the Kosas concealer because I am still on the hunt for THE ONE. I have really dark circles so I always went for the full coverage ones but they tend to make my under eyes look not as flattering as they cold so I'm interested in trying the one you've recommended in this video and do more colour correcting. 😃The Saie Dew Blush in Spicy also wants to come and live in my house now. 😂 Exactly my colour! 😍
beautiful product..... 😍😍😍😍
Enjoyed the video!
On an everyday basis I use the la colors brow pencil in soft brown, la colors clear lash bond mascara, and essence shine shine lip gloss (you can tell I’m on a budget) sometimes I will add blush from essence too
I love those essence lip glosses!
@@bebitamira3054they are the best and affordable too
Good morning from AZ love the video idea
These products are good❤
Nice collection
Thank you for continuing to talk about and normalize sunscreen!
Nice product 😊
Great video Amanda!! Im trying to downsize my collection so this is particularly usegul 😅
Do you have any idea what eyeshadow is in your eyes in the tower 28 make waves demo?
Good question. That silver grey was gorgeous.
Great video ❤
wow nice dress collection
Love your videos! Just in the interest of feedback, i don't prefer the overhead shot/voiceover combo. I would mich prefer the talking head setup. But thats just one vote! Thanks for the video!
Love this video
Beautiful
Looking good makeup
Excellent video
Good products and i like it’s
You are right🎉🎉
Yeah some concealers really only want to blend into foundation, not bare (but moisturized) skin
Nice makeup product
good products... 😍😍😍😍
Hi Amanda. The eyeshadows are called taupe. But they look warm to me. Which is what I am looking for. Are they warm or cool?
I have half light and personally feel like it’s more neutral-cool than warm. It’s beautiful but it doesn’t last the whole the day on me. I don’t usually have that issue with other shadows. But it doesnt look bad as it fades away so that’s a plus. It’s not something I’ll put on in the morning unless I’ll be home by the afternoon. I haven’t heard anyone complain about the issue I have with it though, so maybe I’m doing something to affect the performance.
@jackelynl9988 thank you 🌹
Nice Products
What color is the Fwee Pudding Pot?
Wonderful ❤
Thanks for the comparison between the Dior and RDF shadows! Does the Rituel de Fille have good lasting power? I love the color but I really struggle with getting products to last on my oily, hooded lids.
If you have oily lids, blotting them, then using an eye primer, can make a big difference. Using a cream shadow/stick, e.g. Victoria Beckham, Sydney Grace, Bobbi Brown, etc. can also give a powder product something to grab on to, or last longer on its own, for a one & done. You make just have to tap your crease out w/your finger if it gathers there during the day.
@ My current routine is blot, eye primer (currently Milani), setting powder then whatever I plan to use. I haven’t tried the VB sticks yet, but both the Bobbi Brown and Laura Mercier crease on me. The thing that lasts the longest before creasing on me is Mac paint pots, but I’m looking for something new.
Nice makeup bag
Love 💓
nice shade
Nice products
Thanks❤❤❤
Wonderful
