Do you follow the lipstick Lesbians here? The main lady worked in the beauty industry for ages. She said a good way to test if a concealer will crease or not is to test it on the pillow of your palm. The fleshy part under your thumb. She says that mimics how your under creases. If a concealer sits poorly in the fine lines of your palm it will sit poorly under your eyes. She also says creasing is inevitable because our faces move but how badly does it crease is the issue. I have been doing this and it has changed the game. It has helped me find the right formula that works for me and what I like.
My Nan has used the Bourjois powder blush for years! It's a core memory of my child hood. Loved putting it on my face when I go over as a touch up. Sophie (we share a name) I remember watching you with my sisters years ago and then remembered you one day. Love watching your videos and doing self care whilst watching you. How you are having a fantastic week. Hope your wedding is exactly how you want
Hey soph! The new elf hydrating primer stick could potentially be a dupe for the milk primer sticks. Could be wrong but when I first saw it I immediately thought of milk!
The lack of eyeshadow and highlighters in shops is a sign of the trend cycle. For years my mum complained that you couldn’t find cream blush anywhere and now it’s trendy again it’s everywhere. There’s only so much space in Boots shops so they just put out the items most likely to sell. Eyeshadows have become less popular since the late teens craze. It sucks for us oldies who have developed our tastes when something we rely on gets discontinued. I’m still sore over No.7 discontinuing my favourite lipstick shade in about 1996.
I absolutely ADORE the Bourjois blushers !! I’m actually Asian (born and raised) and since they don’t sell in Asia I have no way of getting my hands on anything from them. My mum was in Paris and picked up some stuff from them back in 2012 and I kid you not, I *still* use it. The one bourjois blush I own is genuinely my favourite, even against the likes of huda beauty and charlotte tilbury, and it never seems to run out lol I took it from my mum in 2020 when I started out with makeup and it’s still going on so strong ! Bourjois is seriously such an underrated brand. P.S. I use the brush that comes with it, it’s actually really useful and so cute !
I know the struggle with having darker roots and always looking greasy 🙃 soph, you always find a way to make me feel seen. I adore u. I can't wait to see all this makeup!!!!
Recently had a break from TH-cam (had a baby 👶🏻) and am catching up on your videos starting with this one. Was thinking wow sophs jawline is snatched, I wonder what’s changed! Just watched your wedding trial make up and see you had a procedure and didn’t think it worked.. it has girl, it has! I’ve watched you for years but never comment but I had to let you know! Excited to see you as a bride ❤
That elf Cooling Stick is a dupe for the Milk Makeup Cooling Stick. I have the Milk one and i find it very refreshing on my under eyes and on my enlarged pores!
I’m going makeup shopping soon for upcoming concerts and i didn’t know what drugstore bronzer to get! This video is so helpful, thank you!! You’re literally my comfort TH-camr Soph! 🫶🏻🫶🏻 also! my “everyday makeup” go to drugstore eyeshadow palette is the Lottie London “the rose golds” mini palette! It loses a bit of pigment after SEVERAL hours but it lasts really well (like maybe 10hr?) with setting spray !!! :)
Omg i finally realized why you look sooo familiar, i have been watching your videos for a couple of months now. And just today i realized you look so much like Stefania who competed (for Greece) in the eurovision song contest in 2021, sooo as the next one will be in a bit more than a week, could you maybe recreate her makeup look🤗?? I think you 2 would look identical❤️
Hey Soph..You are one of about 3 people I still follow on YT now and I've been watching beauty creators for many years! You are just still Soph. Which is fabulous. I can't be happier that you are getting marries this year. You are definitely soul mates. I'm ssomewhat older haha, but I can spot these things. (as weird as that may sound) If you ever come to New Zealand you will always have your own personal tour guide! (Don't panic I'm not a crazy person haha) We live at the beach and I have horses to ride. Wishing you so much love with your exiting year ahead ❤❤
The L'oreal infallible freshwear 32 hour freshwear foundation is my favourite. Looks like they changed the packaging again but it's been my holy grail!! I wore it to my brothers wedding as maid of Honour and omg it lasted all day and night. No touch ups. Wore it for about 14 hours and still looked flawless!! I wear the shade 130 true beige which is light neutral. 💝💝
It’s always a pick me up when a new Soph video drops! The mascara from elf is a tubing mascara, so I guess that’s why it didn’t layered well, and also why it didn’t smudge! The lip combo looks so good on you. Can we talk about the jacket🔥🔥?! Such a great jacket on you! Wishing you a great weekend ☀️! 💕
Honestly so many of my makeup purchases are because of your honest reviews! I love the Milk Hydrogrip so am ordering the Elf power grip to try the dupe and am buying both of the 17 drops…very excited😏
My favourite eyeshadow palette is the Nyx Ultimate shadow palette. It has 16 neutral colours with both matte and shimmer. They have nice pigment and blend really well 😊
The packaging for the NYX bronzer drives me crazy. They launched the brushes and immediately some were sold out. Just aggravating and now I'm not even interested anymore. Bit love to watch ur videos. Always a good time! 😂😂🎉🎉❤❤
You don't have to pay customs with Colourpop to UK? I live in Poland and had to pay insane customs when receiving my package (like the same price as what my package was worth, so I was paying basically the x2 of the price.) That's the reason I haven't bought from them since.
I think Milk had a primer stick like this years ago. Btw would love to see you try the Profusion 2 in 1 foundation, it’s new and is so underrated. For UK loose powders, the Rimmel Lasting Perfection and the NYX can’t stop won’t stop are super smoothing, but if you want a more Huda Beauty style, the the Wet n Wild Photofocus is phenomenal.
Hey Soph! The elf bitesize eye shadow palettes are some of my faves from the drugstore. The wetnwild ones are slightly more powdery but also good for the price 😊 love the video as always ❤
It’s discontinued and I got it off eBay but just thought I’d mention I used the Milani bold obsessions for my wedding makeup and I loveeee it. Another really beautiful blendable palette I’ve loved is the lorac meraki pro artist palette
The bourjois blush is actually a really good alternative to the Huda blush that’s being discontinued 😞 I had an old one and was swatching it to see if it even had pigment etc still. It immediately reminded me of my Huda blush. I compared the two and they are not identical in formula but a good close comparison. They look no different on the cheek and the lasting power is the same.
Elf had something like that cool stick years and years ago, I remember buying it because my skin would feel hot while I tried new medication so thought it could help!
i cant wait to see how you end up doing your wedding makeup :) you’ve inspired me to do my own wedding makeup too i think. everyone is telling me to just pay for an MUA but i’m just so specific and particular with my makeup!!!
I had one of the corrector sticks to use for my dark circles but they were too drying for my eyes and looked cakey :( I felt that liquid products work much better under my eyes, although I did buy the new NARS under eye color corrector and that feels much better. I like how that one melts on my fingers and feels creamy when I put it on.
The elf mascara is a tubing mascara I recently purchased as I’m lazy so have used tubing mascaras for years and they are not cheap so it’s great to have a cheaper version out there. Bit harder to remove than the hourglass or tarte one . ❤
For the Nyx concealer, definitely apply to your finger first to warm it up! Advise from the makeup queen herself Pat McGrath who loves to use it :) and I do too lol
Can you try and spray first with the matte one, then the glowy one?? Because if it's oil that makes it glowy, it might react to the spray underneath and not secure it anyway. Just for people that want the glow, but also longevity 🥰
Please do another high end video! I’d love to see you try out Westman Aterlier, Bobbi Brown, Tom Ford, Patrick Ta etc. I trust your reviews more than anyone else’s on here!
Hey soph I love it if you could do a video on Yr self tanning routine as yours looks very natural or if you can do a review of self tan products would be a good idea. Xx❤
The Nyx 16 shadow palettes are really good. Best in affordable shadows imo. Thank you for the heads up on Nyx bronzer. I’ve been jealous of the USA influencers 😂😂 xxx
Could you try out the new rimmel flawless filter dupe and the new kylie cosmetics blush sticks. Ur the only beauty reviewer I can trust I love ur videos and I’ve been watching them for years xxx❤
The ELF mascara is probably a dupe for the Thrive Causemetics tubing mascara, and it has the same colored packaging. The Thrive one isn't available in the UK, so if the ELF one is good, it's great that you can get that one there.
Hi Sophie can you please test the new revolution highlight, blush and bronze drops saw them in Superdrug recently and was debating whether to try them, but I did get the 2step wispy lash mascara and I really liked it.😊 Ps you always look amazing when your makeup looks are finished.❤
Laucapon is someone to you as you are to me. If you say something looks great or you like it, I know I’ll definitely like it too. You should get so many commissions just by me buying things you recommend to me. So funny this coincidence and totally relatable talk just now 😂❤️
Pretty sure that elf primer is a dupe of the Milk makeup one. Not sure if milk makes it anymore but I have it. Also Tula has one too. I also have that one but that one is more for the eyes than the face
I’ve recently tried the boots 17 powder plush and it’s a beautiful pink colour and it’s matte so it’s good for putting blush around my nose as I hate sparkly blush on my nose because it’s bigger so I don’t like to enhance that
Profusion eye shadows are drugstore and pretty good... I live in the U.S. and I'm not sure if they're available in the UK. I'm a new viewer and love your videos so far!!!
YEARS of watching you and I don't think I've ever disagreed with you until this video. Loreal Infallible Foundation looks patchy and the wrong color, no? Either way, you're gorgeous and we love you.

Oh amazing thanks so much!! I’ve seen them on instagram but didn’t realise they had a youtube, following immediately!! 😊
@@sophdoeslife sure! I love them. They have changed how I buy and wear makeup.
Colour pop is a great eye shadow. It’s in the drugstore in the US!
Elf lash extender is duping thrive causmetics tubing mascara
Amazing tip!

That elf Cooling Stick is a dupe for the Milk Makeup Cooling Stick. I have the Milk one and i find it very refreshing on my under eyes and on my enlarged pores!
A great bridal affordable palette is the NYX warm neutrals! It’s very simple but you can get such lovely looks with it.
I miss your little bloopers intros, you never do them anymore :(

Ooh I see it!
Kiko eyeshadow palettes are great formulas and good bang for your buck!
“tickling my pickle” gave me flashbacks to when james did your makeup and you said that too🤭❤️
That lip combo is beautiful
I’ve just added the dermatica balm to my other products. Everytime I see how my ageing skin is glowing I just thank you❤
I watched a video on testers on TH-cam yesterday about all the bacteria in them. I've never tested anything as I have OCD. I'm glad now!

High street eyeshadow:
Catrice slim eyeshadow palettes!
Next-gen nudes, safari fever, desert romance and blooming bliss
These are 👌😊
that liquid bronzer wow ...i like it at first hand looked dark but wow .....an the blush 😮
P Louise do a gorgeous bridal palette. It’s huge but so many nice shades and so pigmented! Definitely recommend
Been watching you for years. Excited every time you post❤
Omg that boujour blush was the first blusher I ever had! And yes I used the brush 🤦🏼♀️😂
It’s always a pick me up when a new Soph video drops! The mascara from elf is a tubing mascara, so I guess that’s why it didn’t layered well, and also why it didn’t smudge!

the makeup looks absolutely amazing Soph💕💕
Hi Soph! How are you doing? ✨️ I have a question, are you going to do a Makeup Declutter this year? 💄
Omg that shirt looks so amazing on you Soph!
aw thanks!! 😊
Honestly so many of my makeup purchases are because of your honest reviews! I love the Milk Hydrogrip so am ordering the Elf power grip to try the dupe and am buying both of the 17 drops…very excited😏
MUA eyeshadows are very good! Not sure about all of the palettes but some of the small palettes are so creamy!
My favourite eyeshadow palette is the Nyx Ultimate shadow palette. It has 16 neutral colours with both matte and shimmer. They have nice pigment and blend really well 😊
Elf prime and set powder and the NYX HD powder and the essence banana powders are pretty good drugstore powders for under the eyes
Bourjois has a lovely setting powder, the one that says it’s like infused with vitamin e or something. Great for dry skin it’s so hydrating
If you can find them, the revamped Wet N Wild color icon palettes that come in 5 and 10 pans are pretty good for being drugstore!
The packaging for the NYX bronzer drives me crazy. They launched the brushes and immediately some were sold out. Just aggravating and now I'm not even interested anymore. Bit love to watch ur videos. Always a good time! 😂😂🎉🎉❤❤
Love you Soph ☺️❤️
Hi Sophie, thanks for everything you do for us. And congrats on reaching over 1 mill! 😘
Revolution eyesshadow palettes are so good for the price 🤍🤍

I think that the elf blue stick is a dupe for the milk makeup cooling water stick x
The best eyeshadow's is the elf bitesize eyeshadow pallets, sooo good! Love the Cream and sugar one
Hey Soph! The elf bitesize eye shadow palettes are some of my faves from the drugstore. The wetnwild ones are slightly more powdery but also good for the price 😊 love the video as always ❤
It’s discontinued and I got it off eBay but just thought I’d mention I used the Milani bold obsessions for my wedding makeup and I loveeee it. Another really beautiful blendable palette I’ve loved is the lorac meraki pro artist palette
Soph, I’d love to see a bridal look which will last through heat but wont look drying!🧡

@@suprajasaravanan6500that’s great to know!
Can you do an affordable skincare video? For sensitive skin ❤
Love the L’Oréal foundation it’s a win for any situation
Well impressed with boots products see you soon ❤
The elf mascara is a tubing mascara I recently purchased as I’m lazy so have used tubing mascaras for years and they are not cheap so it’s great to have a cheaper version out there. Bit harder to remove than the hourglass or tarte one . ❤
I finally decided to purchase Elf Tubing mascara. I have at least 6 (that are new) that make me look like a raccoon an hour or two later.
Absolutely love it when you do the drugstore ones ♥️
Ahhhh been wanting one of these!! Love you soph thank you!!!x
Love the drugstore test and reviews!
You always mwsmerise us with your cute pinky look❤
For drugstore eyeshadow I'm quite fond of catrice pro-next nudes and the pro natural spirit eyeshadow slim pallettes❤
Tatcha makes a serum stick. Maybe that was what ELF was trying to do 🧐 Either way, i am here for dupes and more affordable makeup and skincare 🫶
Hiya Soph another fantastic video!
I liked the look you came up with.
Sending love to you ❤❤
For the Nyx concealer, definitely apply to your finger first to warm it up! Advise from the makeup queen herself Pat McGrath who loves to use it :) and I do too lol

The Nyx 16 shadow palettes are really good. Best in affordable shadows imo. Thank you for the heads up on Nyx bronzer. I’ve been jealous of the USA influencers 😂😂 xxx
Wondering if the ELF stick primer is trying to dupe the MILK cooling stick? 🤔
Or the Nimya one
Hi Soph. I love the Max Factor eyeshadow palettes.
For the first time I'm so early to your videos!!! I love love looooooove you!!!!... all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤
Could you try out the new rimmel flawless filter dupe and the new kylie cosmetics blush sticks. Ur the only beauty reviewer I can trust I love ur videos and I’ve been watching them for years xxx❤

Barry M have some new gel/glowy eye shadow pots that I saw an ad for on TikTok! Kind of space cow boy vibe x
Not an eyeshadow palette, but I really like the Rimmel eye paints! You have to work quickly but the shades are great for everyday 💗
You look beautiful, as always!
Hey soph they just released the new NYX buttermelt blushes too!! 😊
omg yay!!!😊

Try the hydraluminous powder from no7! It’s my absolute favourite for setting under my eyes and anywhere I’m drier
Oh my god this is such a Sabrina Carpenter makeup look I love it!!!❤🔥
we have this brand mon reve here in Greece and it's pretty affordable and it has great eyeshadows! I'm pretty sure they ship to the uk
I’ve recently tried the boots 17 powder plush and it’s a beautiful pink colour and it’s matte so it’s good for putting blush around my nose as I hate sparkly blush on my nose because it’s bigger so I don’t like to enhance that
Love the blush ❤
UR TOP IS SO CUTE!!!
thanks!! 😊 it’s from uniqlo
Would love to see you try out Sculpted by Aimee. One of my favourite brands for skincare and makeup at the minute.

The Elf one is a dupe of the milk cooling water stick ?
It’s not a dupe. It’s not a new product hehe. It’s been out for years.
First vid as a new sub, absolutely LOVED it. Also the jacket ur wearing at the end is such a slay✨
