I was looking for a review on this CT palette and you popped up my feed. Missed you, Mel! 😭😭😭. Hope your hubs and kids are doing well. 💜💜💜 We will all get by but you will be sorely missed and not forgotten. Your palette with Sydney Grace will always be my top 5 palettes. Hope you are doing well and pain free on the other side of the world, Mel if you can see my message. 😇😇😇
Mel, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your videos and your aesthetic. I think you and your look are beautiful, elegant, polished and classy. This is my type of glamour. To be honest I'm so sick of the typical youtubers and their makeup technique. It's so generic that they start to all look alike while trying to shove Morphe up on our faces. Not to mention their makeup technique looks really tacky and cheap. I think beauty youtubers like you stands out today. You make great makeup content for highend and luxury makeup and I appreciate that a lot.
Agreed 100%! I've seen comments complaining about how luxury brands like CT don't have enough color payoff and they're comparing it to palettes that are for a completely different class of customer. Yeah, bold colors and looks are great for editorials or to show technique but who is actually walking around looking like that on a daily basis? I've seen those looks in person and yikes, definitely not my style.
@@AspasiaB you're right darling! I'm just 27 years old, but I'm into looking gorgeous and classy. I find that using overly pigmented eyeshadows for a simple fresh makeup look can look overpowering, that's why I do understand that a lot of luxury brands don't make eyeshadows too pigmented. I get it that makeup is a form of art as I'm an artist myself, but they really don't have to be a literal walking and talking painting with how they translate art into makeup.
AGREE SO MUCH!!! Even the fact that she focus's in tight on her eyes to show us applications is So Appreciated!!! And also ALL these other Younger, Immature TH-camrs cant even hold a makeup brush to All the life Experience inwhich Mel continues to show within Every one of her videos!!! And also, Im so tired of finding a New Makeup TH-camr which has a different narrative other than just showing makeup skills!!! They need to learn to just keep it to the makeup itself!!! To Keep the Drama, the politics and personal agendas out of it!!! I watch Tati also, and when she has a young new TH-camr on, Ive tried to give them a chance, Only to be fooled by their "Snowflake" personal views, which have nothing to do with makeup itself!!! It seems as fast as I subscribed, Ive UNSUBSCRIBED JUST AS FAST!!! LOL!!! Honestly, it makes me afraid of the direction of the future, if these young TH-camrs think with their "Entitled" attitudes that by Using others, Its Okay!? Sorry, but Im Old School, and Using others to get rich quick, or selling out and pushing a "code" at the expense of lying to their fan base just to get richer quicker, sorry but they don't know of the Power of Karma as of yet!!!! The whole subject Really gets me angry, because there are Great Makeup Artist, just like Mel who dont recieve a companies New Releases in PR!!! These young TH-camr's actually get mad, if their Not on a PR's list. (And they haven't put in any of the Hard Work, or even have 1/3 of talent as Mel or Tati!) They just want to jump in a colab with a TH-camr which has put in the time and hard work and use them for the Exposure!!! It makes me sad, to think that these so-called Makeup Guru's get away with these actions!!! (That it's somehow Okay, to just use people then toss them aside!!!) But once again, their Not even old enough to know the True Power of Karma!!!
Yes!!! 78k subscribers! Congratulations!!!! I’m so happy people are discovering you and how much knowledge you have in makeup and precise you are about all the products you talk about! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💪🏼🎨💄❤️🥳
I love that you review all the Charlotte Tilbury products. I relied on your videos it so much during the past Vib sale when I was making my first Charlotte Tilbury purchases ever. I ended up getting the bar of gold highlighter palette, the Flawless finishing powder, and a couple of lipsticks. You're the best Mel!
Seriously, I have NEVER watched a video so many times! I have watched this over & over! These looks are just stunning. Also the way you apply them so gracefully! My all time favorite though is how you used the Exagger-eyes palette, wow it is absolutely beautiful! I bought that palette because of this tutorial & how beautifully you used it. I'm telling u, I have lost count I have watched this tutorial so many times lol.. xo!
I must have seen the same ad! I also did the same thing...I ordered both! Mine came yesterday. Love the tutorials...just in time for the holidays! I am loving the neutral and cool shades. I will follow your advice...I really appreciate the technique how to use them!
I really like how you show your blending methods and don't just cut. I've been doing a lot more mini circles like you & it's enabled me to get the blend out that I want. Before, I was doing bigger circles and mostly just on the corner & wasn't getting what I wanted. Ty
Mel, Your the ONLY TH-camr that i have found which actually focuses in on your eyes closely with the camera to show your actual applications of eye products, and I MUST tell you how I APPREACIATE it so much!!!! Thank You!!! It really does help me with learning how to apply my eye makeup!!! I have watched you for years now, and you are the Only person I know that I can go to, to learn New techniques and also which brands will work. I Fully Trust in your opinion and judgement with ALL YOU SAY!! PLUS, YOU ACTUALLY WRITE US BACK!! Even when your SO Busy, or have personal issues arise, you still manage to even send back a heart, and let us know that you are reading our comments!!!! I SO APPREACIATE THIS!!! And I will say it on behalf of Many of your loyal Fans, that We LOVE YOU!!! Please know that you Not Only have us as Loyal fans, but we are a COMMUNITY of LOYAL EXTENDED FAMILY TO YOU!!!! And from time to time, its important that we need to reconfirm to each other exactly how much we appreaciate the special people who are within ours lives (even ones who dont even know us "in person".) I am, and always will be a Loyal Supportive Extended Family member of yours, (if you'd have me!? Lol!) I've recently have gone through a Very Heartbreaking issue with my own son, who has just turned 18 and knows "It ALL!" And to get away from ALL of my own personal problems, I know that everyday I'm able to play your videos and Just Escape from my own personal heartbreak. Just those few minutes of watching you daily, I have been able to place a smile on my face and get away from ALL of lifes issues for a moment!!! (And I dont even think TH-camrs realize that they actually have this power to actually help their sub's in this way!) But they do, and when I'm watching you it's NEVER ABOUT drama, or politics, or using this platform to push beliefs on to us which we hadn't signing up for. It's makeup. Simple, pleasure of makeup, that I know for me brings joy and helps me Not to only look better as a person, but feel better as one!!! I can NEVER THANK YOU ENOUGH, for helping get through these last few days especially!!! (And here you didnt even know how much you've helped or even know who I am!!) But as my eyes have been burning due to crying so much, I watch you and can forget for just a few minutes. Do you know of anyway to calm down puffy, burning eyes from crying SO MUCH? Because as of late, there Really swollen from the salted tears, and constant wiping of tissues. What are your own remedies to make you look so camera ready, when the emotions of life catch up with you and you Must Hide your True feelings with makeup?
Thank you! That truly means a lot!!!! I am sorry you have been down, I hope things get better. First, don't wipe your eyes...just dab with the tissue. If you are wiping, you are constantly exfoliating that area which will make it irritated and dry. Use a very hydrating eye cream and keep powders off your eyes for a while. (if you use it) ice the eye area for the puffiness or you can use an eye cream that's depuffing....like the mac fast response. you can use that on top of your eye cream after it's set into the skin. I use Becca ani fatigue under eye primer....but it may not work well if you are too dry. I hope that helps. XOXOXOXOX
Just got mine in the mail yesterday. Excited to try. Who did 2 beautiful looks today. Yes I love my Charlotte Tilbury and I hope they re release pillow talk quad. I have one but I want a backup.
I just want to say that your channel has quickly moved to the top of my list. I don’t routinely use high end/luxury products, and my eye shadow technique usually involves 2 shadows. BUT there is something so soothing and relaxing watching you blend and listening to your tutorials. Hope that doesn’t sound weird ha! Anyway I do appreciate the work you do. Thanks so much!
I think you just showed a way to apply these shadows that will make them work better for me. I had never thought of applying Shape Tape to part of my eyes, letting it dry and then applying shadow. Thanks a bunch!! Thanks 🙏
Oh wow. I don't know which is prettier. The Exagger Eyes, or Pillow Talk. They are both stunning. The palette with the greens in it, look fantastic on you, Mel, but it's not my favorite. I hope they bring pillow talk back for the holidays! Love your lip colors as well❣💝 Great video!!
I see you always reviewing amazing luxury items. I love it! I finally got my first grown woman type eye palette... Mainly because of the price point and it wasn't Jeffree Star or Dominique Cosmetics related. I ordered and saved on the Pat McGrath La Vie en Rose subversive palette. I'm wearing five shades today! I just didn't use the gold shade on my eyes this morning.
Thank you for the detailed review! I bought the Exagger-Eyes palette when it was first released over the summer before it sold out, and I'm wondering if CT has reformulated it since then. My glitter shade (lower left pan) has practically no color or effect -- and when I use my finger to swipe it over my eyes (like CT does in the videos), all I get is a few silver specks. The glitter shade also has that hardpan feeling now. So hopefully it's been improved for all the holiday buyers!
Dear Mel, you made my day ;-) Thank you very much. Few days ago received both quads, I like BIGGER BRIGHTER EYES very much, already wore it but without shimmer in the crease so I got my "usual CT version", I will try now your tutorial. I used few times olive greens from STARLIGHT quad as a "pop" shades, I think that they are beautiful, now I will try this blue-gray "pop" shade but I am much older than you for all shimmers on the eyes. So-called "pop" shades are really special - less glittery than most shimmer shades. You are very talented and so sweet and honest.
Your artistry never ceases- just amazing. The looks you create, continuously, the big channels (millionaire club) can't get like YOU. I appreciate getting to watch you show us the "Mel magic". 🦉💜🐞
You are so beautiful... no one does makeup and eyeshadow like you you're amazing I'm an older woman and I'm trying to learn... thanks for sharing have a blessed week💖💖💖
SO helpful! I have the 2 new palettes in my cart on her website and just hadn't hit the "checkout" yet. Great looks you did, so pretty. OK, can't chat. Gotta go shopping!
I am so freaking tempted to buy these! And you are doing a super job explaining how to get the best use out of these. How many Christmas gifts can I give to myself without being overly materialistic? 😂
I have the Dolce Vita quad. Love it! It’s certainly a luxury brand and I feel I have to LOVE the product to splurge. These are up there!!! I can’t decide which for my brown eyes.
Good morning beautiful's... Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Thanks for the review Mel. Looking stunning as always. Love the lip color... Hmmmm this eye quads look good!!! I avoid palettes that have more shiner than matte. But these are stunning.
Mel, I just can't get enough of you and your videos. Love everything you do, love the way you review the products and explain your tutorials. Sending you much love from Brazil
These quads are gorgeous, especially the Starlight. I'm very tempted but I'm already drowning in eyeshadows, and I gave in and dropped the $125 on PM Bronze Seduction which will be delivered tomorrow. So I'm just gonna have to live vicariously through your videos for now. ;) It's either that or no one is getting Christmas presents this year, lol!
Beautiful looks, I have both the palettes of pops and have never used them together as you suggested but always as toppers for other shadows, I’m definitely going to give your suggestions and priming technique a go, the result was stunning! Xx
The looks r amazing as usual I'm waiting my Exagger eyes palette tomorrow and I'll be waitting the Pillow Talk to restock Thank you for comparing them ❤️
Omg , I just went to Sephora today to buy the Huda nude palette, the amethyst palette and the Kevin Aucoin nude pop and the milk liners. Lol 😂.. just when I thought I had it all, you tell me about these new palettes ..lmao 🤗🤗. Guess I’m going back tomorrow!!! Again you created an awesome look with both palettes girl. ❤️U , hugs
Love love these looks. Every eye look you've ever done is absolutely stunning. Your talent is amazing. I love CT eye quads. Actually CT is my number one brand. I'd say 90% of her products work very well for me. I think the only makeup products I don't use are the liquid lips only because I don't do liquid lips. Another great video! Thank you!
Yay! I just got exagger-eyes yesterday and was so hoping you'd be reviewing this even with all the new palettes coming out! lol You always create the most gorgeous looks. Can't wait to recreate this!
Gorgeous palettes and I love the looks you created. Definitely going on my wish list. Really appreciate how you explain the best way to apply them....very helpful. Thank you for another great video and congrats on 78K subscribers! Woot! ♡♡♡
I picked up Exagger-Eyes because I missed it the first time round but now it looks like I have to get Starlight too! I'm also more of a cool toned girl (despite that I have a warm complexion.)
So beautiful! I love love love the last look, the cool tone. I have more mature hooded eyes and don’t think this would work for me, so I live vicariously through your looks! 😉
Okay I’m now seeing I have to go shop th Charlotte Tilbury website! My collection is growing with great speed of her products. Thank You for the detailed tutorials. As Always Much Love toYou 😘💋😍❤️❤️❤️
I missed Exaggereyes the first time it came out, so I grabbed the Pillowtalk palette when she released it. Then Exaggereyes was re-released and I picked it up as well (lol). Thank you for comparing them online, as I searched previously and no one else has done this. I would agree that they are definitely different, and for people shopping, unless you're a Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow junkie, you could probably go with one or the other. I like having them both :) Thanks Mel!!
I don’t own any CT shadows “Yet”. I’m going to watch the other video again and may pick one up. Thank you for this instructional video. You are such a good teacher! I wish I lived in your area. I would have Loved for you to do my makeup for my stepsons wedding in December. ❤️
I don't know if you would ever order products from overseas but there's this eyelid primer called Fix Potion by Karla Cosmetics in England. It's clear and dries only slightly tacky and was designed specifically to hold sparkly shadows in place. I heard about it, took the plunge and ordered. It's under $20 in US currency. It works beautifully. I don't even have to be too careful when I apply the CT shadows dry because it even prevents fallout. It just grabs the stuff and holds it. The packaging says it's for anywhere on the face where glitter is going but specifically great for the eyelids. I saw makeup artist Daniel Sandler recommend it. It was a definite chance order for me but I'm happy to have it now.
You are such a talented artist! Each look is beautiful. I bought the bcc liner, but I can't get this to lay down properly. I tried a q-tip, by drying my lower rim and it gets washed out and eventually into my eyes. Any ideas for me to try? Thanks so much! ♥
Hummingbirdlvr sometimes, if your lower water line gets watery, it’ll make it more difficult so I’ll try to explain this the best i can over text lol. So, you’ll want to pull down your waterline like I do and any access wetness with a tissue and then apply the liner. Don’t release The lower lash line until the eye has calmed down and the liner has set. You may have to dab your outer corner with the tissue to catch the water and make sure your eye is dry before you release your lower lash line.
Hummingbirdlvr wow! She definitely responds to our questions! That’s the makeup artist I love! She’s not just teaching but you can tell she cares! Loved your question and realized this happens to me in the allergy seasons spring/fall. More people need to discover her! I’ve told All my makeup friends to subscribe & they love her! I d love to see her get the recognition that the other makeup “ gurus” get and it’s always the same videos and too much drama .
@@melthompson2856 You captured the part that I am not doing! It has got to be the issue. I am not waiting for the liner to dry after application before releasing it. That has got to be it! All I know is that my rim is screaming that it will continue to water until I leave it alone and so I do (darn rim, LOL!). It's a "dry it", "color it", "hold it" & "release it". Got it! Thank you so much for your help!! ♥♥
Her quads are genius 😍 So so pretty. BTW, thank you for your thorough tutorials! I've been watching a bunch lately and they really don't compare to yours 👍
You're gorgeous always, but there's something about cool tones on your eyes that makes your beauty pop even more. Just got the friends palette from dose of colors and it's my favorite palette I've bought recently.
Great tip with the primer. I have two in light and light medium I think. One way to try and work through it - I use so little under the eyes and think it may work better on my lids. 😋
I bought the exagger eyes. I like it but I’m not crazy about it. I also bought the Nabla poison that you put on your wishlist and that one is wonderful. I have all 3 palettes of Nabla, all of them are good but this poison palette is the best. I got the idea from you. It’s a must buy. If you buy it please make a tutorial on that palette. Thank you. You made me buy all of what you are posting. Thank you for all the recommendations. You’re my favorite beauty Influenster at this time:)
Do you realise how depressed I get when you get to the end of your eyeshadow reviews???? Well let me tell you, it’s very sad. When you didn’t do a look using every single one I nearly cried!! Lol I absolutely LOVE watching you review eyeshadow palettes and I was so excited when I saw you had done a video using Charlotte Tilbury’s quads!! That was just the best. Thank you so much for making my day. I just wish you had more to review!! Lol
The pillowtalk is so gorgeous! Love that white pigment!!! The cool tone With blue is beautiful too but since I don’t wear much shimmer it wouldn’t work for me. Thanks girl!!😘😘
I know you are reviewing a million things but I would LOVE a multiple looks in one video with the new nude huda palette please!! I watched the one you did with the norvina palette like 30 times!
This is the second time she's released Exaggereyes (she released it the first time with another palette, Transformeyes) so who knows, maybe she will make it permanent. I loooove her pop shades, and am so glad she's released palettes that are purely pop shades. Hoping she releases more!
I was looking for a review on this CT palette and you popped up my feed. Missed you, Mel! 😭😭😭. Hope your hubs and kids are doing well. 💜💜💜
We will all get by but you will be sorely missed and not forgotten. Your palette with Sydney Grace will always be my top 5 palettes. Hope you are doing well and pain free on the other side of the world, Mel if you can see my message. 😇😇😇
"I thought I had everything I needed ... and then I saw an ad" So relatable LOL
LOL!!!

Miss you Mel! RIP Beauty
Always makes me feel better to watch your videos when Im having a bad day, love the looks😚😙
I hope you are having a good day today!
The looks you created was gorgeous!
Oh wow. I don't know which is prettier. The Exagger Eyes, or Pillow Talk. They are both stunning. The palette with the greens in it, look fantastic on you, Mel, but it's not my favorite. I hope they bring pillow talk back for the holidays! Love your lip colors as well❣💝 Great video!!
What beautiful palettes and very pretty eye looks you created 😍
Mel, you are a magician with makeup! Your ability to create stunning looks that are each so unique, is mind boggling!! You're a true artist! 💕
That cool toned look makes my heart MELT!!!!
Oh man that palette with the greens and the silvers. It's killing me. Thanks for all the tips about setting the lids etc.
I see you always reviewing amazing luxury items. I love it! I finally got my first grown woman type eye palette... Mainly because of the price point and it wasn't Jeffree Star or Dominique Cosmetics related. I ordered and saved on the Pat McGrath La Vie en Rose subversive palette. I'm wearing five shades today! I just didn't use the gold shade on my eyes this morning.
My favorite look on you with these palettes was the one with the cool tones. Gorgeous!!!
Love that Starlight one with the silver. Just love it!

These eye looks are stunning! Damn. I’m super tempted by both.
Thank you so much for your tips! I always learn so much! It feels like a makeup class! And Congrats on 78k!!
Thank you!!!
Right!!!! Love to see her get the recognition she deserves !!! She answers your questions unlike 99% of the makeup TH-camrs
Your artistry never ceases- just amazing. The looks you create, continuously, the big channels (millionaire club) can't get like YOU. I appreciate getting to watch you show us the "Mel magic". 🦉💜🐞
You are so beautiful... no one does makeup and eyeshadow like you you're amazing I'm an older woman and I'm trying to learn... thanks for sharing have a blessed week💖💖💖
Thank you!!!
Love Charlotte Tilbury products so much! Thanks for showing these, and making me need them!
Agh!! Mel, every time I watch your videos, I spend money lol. Thank you for another wonderful review!!
Lovin’ the gray green look!, Soooo beautiful 😍😍😍
I love watching your videos! I just used your link to by exagger-eyes! Can't wait to get it!
Just beautiful!!
Sneak watching at work
SO helpful! I have the 2 new palettes in my cart on her website and just hadn't hit the "checkout" yet. Great looks you did, so pretty. OK, can't chat. Gotta go shopping!
I ordered Exagger Eyes and it should be here tomorrow. Can't wait. Thank you for the tutorial.
GIRL. I thought I didn't need the second luxury pops palette.... 😂😘
LOL!!!!
Thats exactly what i thought....until i saw the swatches! 😄
I am so freaking tempted to buy these! And you are doing a super job explaining how to get the best use out of these. How many Christmas gifts can I give to myself without being overly materialistic? 😂
LOL!!!!
You can make any makeup look good. Love your videos
I love your channel!! Im obsessed!! Could you do a video on your skin care routine or just your favorite skin care products in general?
Oh my word for some of these Holiday Collections and CT pops palettes my credit cards are getting there work out. 💋💋💋💕💕💕
Absolutely beautiful!! I just can't bring the money to spend for Charlotte Tilbury but I love watching your videos!! ❤️
Omg my Exagger-eyes gets delivered today and I can’t wait to try this!!!!
I have the Dolce Vita quad. Love it! It’s certainly a luxury brand and I feel I have to LOVE the product to splurge. These are up there!!! I can’t decide which for my brown eyes.
I could watch your videos 24/7. 😍😍😍😍
XOXOXOXOX
Beautiful look Mel - PLEASE do a tutorial on the lime crime silver!
Good morning beautiful's... Hope everyone has a wonderful day.
Thanks for the review Mel. Looking stunning as always. Love the lip color... Hmmmm this eye quads look good!!! I avoid palettes that have more shiner than matte. But these are stunning.
Thank you!!!!
Oh, Mel, miss you, girl! ❤
Love you Mel ❤️ Can you review the new Lancôme eyeshadow palettes?
Fantastica !!! Me encanta tu estilo tus looks tienes mucha clase y mucho talento y no me pierdo ninguno de tus videos me inspiras
Mel, I just can't get enough of you and your videos. Love everything you do, love the way you review the products and explain your tutorials. Sending you much love from Brazil
These quads are gorgeous, especially the Starlight. I'm very tempted but I'm already drowning in eyeshadows, and I gave in and dropped the $125 on PM Bronze Seduction which will be delivered tomorrow. So I'm just gonna have to live vicariously through your videos for now. ;) It's either that or no one is getting Christmas presents this year, lol!
Your eyes look fantastic as always , now I want these eye palettes ... great review xx
Beautiful looks, I have both the palettes of pops and have never used them together as you suggested but always as toppers for other shadows, I’m definitely going to give your suggestions and priming technique a go, the result was stunning! Xx
The looks r amazing as usual
I'm waiting my Exagger eyes palette tomorrow and I'll be waitting the Pillow Talk to restock
Thank you for comparing them ❤️
How do you make everything look so effortless? 💜
Omg , I just went to Sephora today to buy the Huda nude palette, the amethyst palette and the Kevin Aucoin nude pop and the milk liners. Lol 😂.. just when I thought I had it all, you tell me about these new palettes ..lmao 🤗🤗. Guess I’m going back tomorrow!!! Again you created an awesome look with both palettes girl. ❤️U , hugs
Love love these looks. Every eye look you've ever done is absolutely stunning. Your talent is amazing. I love CT eye quads. Actually CT is my number one brand. I'd say 90% of her products work very well for me. I think the only makeup products I don't use are the liquid lips only because I don't do liquid lips. Another great video! Thank you!
Yay! I just got exagger-eyes yesterday and was so hoping you'd be reviewing this even with all the new palettes coming out! lol You always create the most gorgeous looks. Can't wait to recreate this!
Gorgeous palettes and I love the looks you created. Definitely going on my wish list. Really appreciate how you explain the best way to apply them....very helpful. Thank you for another great video and congrats on 78K subscribers! Woot! ♡♡♡
Girl...that silvery blue on you...perfection
Thanks!!!
STUNNING, omg I can't even ✨
I picked up Exagger-Eyes because I missed it the first time round but now it looks like I have to get Starlight too! I'm also more of a cool toned girl (despite that I have a warm complexion.)
So beautiful! I love love love the last look, the cool tone. I have more mature hooded eyes and don’t think this would work for me, so I live vicariously through your looks! 😉
Okay I’m now seeing I have to go shop th Charlotte Tilbury website! My collection is growing with great speed of her products. Thank You for the detailed tutorials. As Always Much Love toYou 😘💋😍❤️❤️❤️
Just love your videos so much fun to watch 💕
Hey Mel 💖
Beautiful looks! Thank you ☺️
Glad to see something different with those greens!
I missed Exaggereyes the first time it came out, so I grabbed the Pillowtalk palette when she released it. Then Exaggereyes was re-released and I picked it up as well (lol). Thank you for comparing them online, as I searched previously and no one else has done this. I would agree that they are definitely different, and for people shopping, unless you're a Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow junkie, you could probably go with one or the other. I like having them both :) Thanks Mel!!
Mel you need to try the walk of shame pallet!!!It will look fabulous on you!!!
So lovely, as are you! Love watching your video's all the time! Makes my day!! Love you Mel!!😊😘💄
I don’t own any CT shadows “Yet”. I’m going to watch the other video again and may pick one up. Thank you for this instructional video. You are such a good teacher! I wish I lived in your area. I would have Loved for you to do my makeup for my stepsons wedding in December. ❤️
I don't know if you would ever order products from overseas but there's this eyelid primer called Fix Potion by Karla Cosmetics in England. It's clear and dries only slightly tacky and was designed specifically to hold sparkly shadows in place. I heard about it, took the plunge and ordered. It's under $20 in US currency. It works beautifully. I don't even have to be too careful when I apply the CT shadows dry because it even prevents fallout. It just grabs the stuff and holds it. The packaging says it's for anywhere on the face where glitter is going but specifically great for the eyelids. I saw makeup artist Daniel Sandler recommend it. It was a definite chance order for me but I'm happy to have it now.
You are such a talented artist! Each look is beautiful. I bought the bcc liner, but I can't get this to lay down properly. I tried a q-tip, by drying my lower rim and it gets washed out and eventually into my eyes. Any ideas for me to try? Thanks so much! ♥
Do you have really watery eyes?
@@melthompson2856 Yes, when I am putting something on the bottom rim, not a problem on the top. Thanks!
Hummingbirdlvr sometimes, if your lower water line gets watery, it’ll make it more difficult so I’ll try to explain this the best i can over text lol. So, you’ll want to pull down your waterline like I do and any access wetness with a tissue and then apply the liner. Don’t release The lower lash line until the eye has calmed down and the liner has set. You may have to dab your outer corner with the tissue to catch the water and make sure your eye is dry before you release your lower lash line.
Hummingbirdlvr wow! She definitely responds to our questions! That’s the makeup artist I love! She’s not just teaching but you can tell she cares! Loved your question and realized this happens to me in the allergy seasons spring/fall. More people need to discover her! I’ve told All my makeup friends to subscribe & they love her! I d love to see her get the recognition that the other makeup “ gurus” get and it’s always the same videos and too much drama .
@@melthompson2856 You captured the part that I am not doing! It has got to be the issue. I am not waiting for the liner to dry after application before releasing it. That has got to be it! All I know is that my rim is screaming that it will continue to water until I leave it alone and so I do (darn rim, LOL!). It's a "dry it", "color it", "hold it" & "release it". Got it! Thank you so much for your help!! ♥♥
The best notification of the day is when I get a youtube notification saying you uploaded. Great video as always.
Very helpful! I opted for the cool toned palette. Great video!
Her quads are genius 😍 So so pretty. BTW, thank you for your thorough tutorials! I've been watching a bunch lately and they really don't compare to yours 👍
thank you!!!
So easy to follow right?? The best on TH-cam I swear.
@@boobooalaskaify Yes, exactly! And explains the reasoning behind every move.
I'm in my late 50s and have been on the fence about the Exagger eye's until i saw you tutorial thanks Mel xxx
I think you will love it :)
You always do the best reviews! I try copying looks and they come out pretty good😄 You have the best eyes ever!! Thank you Mel❤️❤️❤️
Excellent base set-up info!
You're gorgeous always, but there's something about cool tones on your eyes that makes your beauty pop even more. Just got the friends palette from dose of colors and it's my favorite palette I've bought recently.
Thank you!!!
I was wondering if you could put together a video of like the best gifts to give from Sephora ? Your recommendations and whatnot 🤗
Great tip with the primer. I have two in light and light medium I think. One way to try and work through it - I use so little under the eyes and think it may work better on my lids. 😋
I bought the exagger eyes. I like it but I’m not crazy about it. I also bought the Nabla poison that you put on your wishlist and that one is wonderful. I have all 3 palettes of Nabla, all of them are good but this poison palette is the best. I got the idea from you. It’s a must buy. If you buy it please make a tutorial on that palette. Thank you. You made me buy all of what you are posting. Thank you for all the recommendations. You’re my favorite beauty Influenster at this time:)
Beautiful I just ordered these palettes 😍
Mel, have you tried the stars in their eyes palette by Charlotte Tilbury? I feel so pretty when wearing it, such beautiful, romantic colours!!
I haven't :(
Do you realise how depressed I get when you get to the end of your eyeshadow reviews???? Well let me tell you, it’s very sad. When you didn’t do a look using every single one I nearly cried!! Lol I absolutely LOVE watching you review eyeshadow palettes and I was so excited when I saw you had done a video using Charlotte Tilbury’s quads!! That was just the best. Thank you so much for making my day. I just wish you had more to review!! Lol
Great video Mel!!! Continue to lift you up in prayer :)
The pillowtalk is so gorgeous! Love that white pigment!!! The cool tone With blue is beautiful too but since I don’t wear much shimmer it wouldn’t work for me. Thanks girl!!😘😘
I know you are reviewing a million things but I would LOVE a multiple looks in one video with the new nude huda palette please!! I watched the one you did with the norvina palette like 30 times!
I did one, love :) 3 more looks in one video :)
I just wanna say that you have really beautiful lashes 😍
thank you!!!
Samara Jawad doesn’t she! And she can rock that hair style! She’s so knowledgeable about makeup! My favorite TH-camr / makeup tutorials!❤️
Wow. Just beautiful x 2.
This is the second time she's released Exaggereyes (she released it the first time with another palette, Transformeyes) so who knows, maybe she will make it permanent. I loooove her pop shades, and am so glad she's released palettes that are purely pop shades. Hoping she releases more!
