I ll just leave it here, the quality and the natural light that gives us an opportunity to see actual make up products on skin is great!!! Thanks a lot for that!
I personally still love using face pallets for an easy every day look. I love the Hourglass ones and have used them for years. I feel like I can get an entire look out of one product, and it makes it quick and easy for me to look out together without having to put a lot of thought into which blush or bronzer I should use that day. But I appreciate wanting to curate your own look and play with makeup. To each their own!
Your makeup in this video is actually so perfect for everyday but also so put together and flattering. I was SO excited you made a video about it after watching the vlog. Your makeup looks are always my favourite to watch even though they’re simple. It’s makeup I actually do haha
I think what made your under eye concealer ball up was the porefessional primer, it happened to me before. Not a fan of that primer tbh, I’m still using it just for the sake of using it up!
I do relate to what you were saying about keep buying new things when we have something that works so well for us. I've realised I'm a completionist. It's like I just have to have the full collection even though I absolutely know I don't need it and probably won't even use it. I'm trying to be better with that this year!
hey allana, besides using danessa myricks' products, I was wondering if you could use more black owned brands in your videos. I'm curious about mented cosmetics and uoma beauty, I know you've mentioned some of these brands before but maybe mention them more throughout your videos.
That Marc Jacobs palette sparked a 90's memory. Clinique used to use that packaging but in a soft mint with gold closures. They rebranded at some point but their old packaging was stunning and lux.
Make sure you store the brown pen tip down, so the product don’t fall to the bottom. Also try and hold it so it flows down, so holding your hand higher! Does it make sense? That’s the optimal way to use the pen, and I’m sure you won’t have problems with the dots ☺️
I have the same issue with the face palettes and never finding one that I love all of the products in. That being said, I actually just chip out the one shade I dont like and replace it with one that I do that might be in a single pan. For example, in the Smashbox Cali Contour kit, love all of the shades except the highlighter because its WAY too dark for me....so what did I do? I chopped it up and mixed in my The Balm Mary-Louminizer, re-pressed it back into the pan, and ta-da! A full face palette I'll actually use and travel with. Its a great way of also using up those single products that are at pan or broken or whatever. Just make your own shade!
Girl, I started watching you like a week ago, binged many of your videos and you’ve already changed my latest preferences! I’ve started liking warm tones and pinky/peachy lip balms 😍I used to hate warm tones on me...
The Tatcha Silk Canvas Protecting Primer is awesome for pore coverage, doesn't dry and isn't slimy! FYI buy the mini. It will take forever to use it up. I only use 1/2 a grain of rice per application (nose and nose/cheek pore farm area). I learn a lot from you. Thanks from sunny Florida. Cheers.
Love you and Jamie so much! You two are so sweet, sincere and you don't take yourself so seriously. I really enjoy your vlogs as well as your beauty vids. 😘
Ugh as soon as I see “get ready with me” and “new makeup” from Allana I KNOW I’ll be adding things to my cart online 😆 eager to check out more of Danessa Myricks products when they launch on Sephora’s site
I was actually admiring the earrings in your vlog when you were wearing this look! You are so beautiful! Your eyebrows! And your lips, I love that they aren’t overdone and don’t stick out and look puffy and swollen. They suit you so well. Love this look!
A note on the brow pen: I find that if you have lots of product underneath, it can sometimes make the ink go on patchy or non as consistent. Especially because you used a product like brow freeze, it might be kind of like trying to write in marker or watercolor over top a crayon. Y’know? Lol
I do still like face palettes. The park ave Princess contour palette I have from Tarte is a perfect range of shades for winter, spring, summer and autumn, the highlight shades are yellow and brightening so I’m actually using all of it. The pro blush and highlight palette gives me a good choice of blushes depending on what eye and lip I’m wearing, the highlight works and the bronzer is a nice medium tone that can work for a lot of skin tones, depending how well you build it. The highlight palette I have is the same, winter through to summer shades with various tones of a similar shade. I think I might be quite selective about the ones I buy making sure I will use at least 90% of them after getting the Smashbox Christmas 2018 one and finding a few of the highlights I won’t use very often. It does give me options for going out out make up, but those I wouldn’t use daily. I want that Vieve blush though, as soon as I watched her launch video, that shade caught my eye x
Ardell were so ahead of the brow game! I've been using the 'Stroke a Brow' for yeaaaaars and still consider it one of the best (if not the best) brow pen out there! 🖤
Everything looks beautiful!! I really want some of the Vieve products. I’ve followed Jamie for years. The shades she’s come up with are truly stunning. I love your earrings. They all work so well together. Finally the Auric products I love. 🙃🙃💜
Love love love the stacked hoops!! Super pretty! Love the Vieve blushes too, stunning!! I am going to have to order the blushes and the Auric glow lotion!!
Sorry not to be critical but have you tried applying the pen first before the brow freeze? Let the pen dry and then put the freeze product on top because I feel like the product affects the performance of the pen.
I learned to u my make up for every day and everywhere i go i recive many compliments.... so beautiful your new colletion...i love everthing!!!!! Thank u my dear
Allana, I find if you do your brows with powder first and then go over with the soap that works best then there’s no need for the pens, those pens are a nightmare.
Think the bronze blush highlighter compact would be brilliant if you could order the shade of each that would suit u rather than what they put together. I guess be too much a pain to do but that packaging is stunning
In defense of face palettes, they are useful for people who have no idea where to start. I was on the hunt for one that made it easy for me to know what I needed because I wasn't using blush or bronzer or contour or highlight. I just had so many choices to make, and I wanted someone to choose for me.
I love what you said about your brow routine and the need to be consumers. I think about how my mom has 1 product in each category and uses the same things every day 🤯 I on the other hand own a small Sephora store in my home... looking to find a happy medium in 2021
Would you make a video about the top essential fav brushes? I never seem to find the perfect one and hate buying tools/ products that end up collecting dust
That handheld mirror is so cute. I feel like when I apply my brow pen before brow gel it doesn't skip (I use brow flick) but then the gel messes up the pen so it's like what do you do? I feel like they should be designed with the fact that people are probably using a gel with it to get that really pushed up flat/feathery brow
Hi! When you talked about the brow pen balling up it made me think of the valentines I used to make a kid where you draw with a crayon and then do a watercolor paint over it 😂 I feel like if you would do the waxy brow product after doing the inky product just to finish them it might be better or maybe the pen itself is messed up from having the waxy stuff on the brush?
every time im watching your videos and see your subscription number im so surprised you dont have millions!! thats what you deserve !! the quality of all you content is always top notch!! so much love for u!!
Lol did you see Benefit came out with an extra large version of the Hoola bronzer?? 😂😂 I thought of you instantly when I saw that. Would last 2 life times
I hope your doing okay since the loss of your family member❤️. My hives+eczema go all around my body but for the past couples months my eczema has made a permanent gnarly home all over my hands and I’m a pt and I swear patients stare at it and are like EEEEWWWWWWW!
Every time I tried a cartridge piercing they wouldn’t heal and I would get huge lumps on the back of my ear.. I’ve had to have the earrings cut off.. it was so upsetting! I may need to get something like the one you showed! Looks cute!
wow I very much appreciate your insights, we are always searching for the next best thing. I rationalize it by saying I will return the product if it doesn’t work. that still produces waste though, because the used and returned product is taken back, I get my money back and then the product is left in a land fill. it’s a bit depressing, and just because I wanted the “perfect” brow product when the brow pencils I have been using for years are pretty great already.
that said, I love the lift & snatch nyx brow pen for the inner brow, a brow pencil (benefit or abh, or nyx) for the body & tail, and the benefit 24hr brow as a gel
Girl it is freezing in Texas LOL We only get like 3 cold days in the winter where I live (San Antonio) and this state IS NOT prepared for this weather like AT ALL. Some people don’t have water, there’s power outages everywhere. They’re like on purpose turning off our power every other hour. Some friends haven’t had power since Sunday! People can’t work (even I that I WFH) It feels like the beginning of the pandemic again cause people are freaking out and buying EVERYTHING. Oh yeah and we have no gas!! lol
I just love this look! Goes with EVERYTHING! I wish I could tell you some products to try but I’m trying to clean out my makeup and go thru what I have which is a lot lol 😂
Brow envy! The ABH looks so fab on you. After just a few minutes, it makes my brows not just drop, but droop. I've experimented with less, more; brushing them more, brushing them less... all on totally clean brows and with a clean spoolie. The Benefit brow setter + the Refy pomade are THE BUSINESS for me, so I'm going to stop messing with success, too.
I ll just leave it here, the quality and the natural light that gives us an opportunity to see actual make up products on skin is great!!! Thanks a lot for that!
The quality and the zoom... that was a pure delight
I wish natural lighting was more consistent 😭😂 the tough part is the casual 3 hours of daylight that we get in the winter LOL
One of my favorite “everyday” looks I’ve seen in a while - so simple yet flawless? Dang. Beautiful.
Thank you 😩😩❤️❤️
Agree!!

Her videos are always so cozy and laid back it's so satisfying😍💞
I would recommend the Wet N Wild Impossible Primer. It’s a silicone free pore filling primer. So you won’t get that slick feeling

You should do a video on “how to put on a high-neck blouse after applying makeup”. 😂 Beautiful look.

the Vieve blushes are everything to me 😭😍😭 all the shades are so gorgeous!
Marc Jacobs lures me in with the packaging, and I always fall for it 🥲🥲🥲
That Marc Jacobs palette sparked a 90's memory. Clinique used to use that packaging but in a soft mint with gold closures. They rebranded at some point but their old packaging was stunning and lux.

It’s been such a cold winter here as well! Love playing around with makeup during this time even though I have no where to go😜😜😜
tip for the cartilage piercings: always get studs when you get pierced! they heal SO much easier than hoops and get caught on less things.
I have the same issue with the face palettes and never finding one that I love all of the products in.

I agree with you on the face palletes! Usually only one or two shades work for me- the rest is a waste.
Marc Jacobs mascara framed your eyes just beautifully. I've also Jamie Genevieve's blush - Piazza - and it's simply fab.

I love ur makeup tutorials like this. This is ur everyday makeup. This is 👌 perfect. Especially us 30yr and older.
Love you and Jamie so much! You two are so sweet, sincere and you don't take yourself so seriously. I really enjoy your vlogs as well as your beauty vids. 😘
100% agree with the face palettes comment. I feel the same with eyeshadow palettes now, too! Bring back more single shadows!
So beautiful!! I feel motivated to try and get ready. Also Dejans edits were soo good I found myself laughing throughout 😆.
Loving the new jewels! Those chunky hoops are so pretty & chic. Skin looks flawless & those blushes are gorgeous 😍✨. Very lovely Lan!! ❤
Ugh as soon as I see “get ready with me” and “new makeup” from Allana I KNOW I’ll be adding things to my cart online 😆 eager to check out more of Danessa Myricks products when they launch on Sephora’s site
Those MJ products make me want a nice, big latte from a real café (i.e. a coffee not made by me in my kitchen)
Totally hahah it looks like a dreamy coffee in the morning that I want to have in my belly 😂
So nice to get ready alongside this video, like gabbing about makeup with a friend 💛

The quality of the video is INSANE.
also your eyes a so pretty!!!
Brow pens do that when you apply over skincare or makeup. I’ve found the best results applying to clean, dry skin!
Allana!! So beautiful, have you started to think about wedding looks or what you would like? 👀👀
Ardell were so ahead of the brow game! I've been using the 'Stroke a Brow' for yeaaaaars and still consider it one of the best (if not the best) brow pen out there! 🖤
I love how you are so real and candid about your skin and tanning misshaps :)
I love the natural light - I can actually see how the makeup looks in real life ❤️
Everything looks beautiful!! I really want some of the Vieve products. I’ve followed Jamie for years. The shades she’s come up with are truly stunning. I love your earrings. They all work so well together. Finally the Auric products I love. 🙃🙃💜
So over winter! I broke out my bronze and coral make up today. Nothing like a summer look to perk you up in February haha
Amen to this 😂☀️
Love love love the stacked hoops!! Super pretty! Love the Vieve blushes too, stunning!! I am going to have to order the blushes and the Auric glow lotion!!
I love this look! So perfect for every day and so bright and cheerful
Totally agree with the Marc Jacobs comment about curating my own shades. There is always one in a face pallet that isn’t for me!
I just binged your last three videos and I love them so much!!! They’re just full of the good stuff.
It’s freezing cold for Oklahoma where I live right now, (19° F) so I’m glad you posted😁 got my blanket and a snack ready to watch lol

Beautiful look! I love how you paired that makeup look and especially lip color with the white turtleneck shirt - such a chic and beautiful combo!
Thank you Wilma! ❤️
I haven't even watched this all the way through yet but when this look was in your last vid, I was OBSESSED.
For the brows pencil, I think the dot problem has to do with the angle, you might hold it to 'perpendicular' to your brow !
Think the bronze blush highlighter compact would be brilliant if you could order the shade of each that would suit u rather than what they put together. I guess be too much a pain to do but that packaging is stunning

So many products I’m ready to try! Love the look!!
Omg...I LOVE cuffs I'm obsessed with them ...u look fab xxx and cuffs arent to much long as u just do 1 ear xxx

Hey, Allana. Hope you’re staying safe and warm.
Lol did you see Benefit came out with an extra large version of the Hoola bronzer?? 😂😂 I thought of you instantly when I saw that. Would last 2 life times
even bigger than their jumbo sized one?
Hahahhaa yes it’s massive!!! We would be able to give it as an heirloom!
Agree!! Curated collection over palettes!!
I love the more up close videos! Its really nice to see what the makeup looks like on. Wait -do you not apply foundation/concealer to your upper lip?
I think you just sold me on the Charlotte Tilbury powder. The way it smoothed out the foundation under your eyes was shocking.
Eeeeeeek so excited for another makeup video❤️ I clicked right away!!
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hi Lan! I would love to see you try the Vieve lip liners if you ever order the Cherub blush
I hope your doing okay since the loss of your family member❤️. My hives+eczema go all around my body but for the past couples months my eczema has made a permanent gnarly home all over my hands and I’m a pt and I swear patients stare at it and are like EEEEWWWWWWW!
Ah! From “sleepy” to “dreamy” !! 😍😍
Take a shot every time Allana says “curdle” 😂
Every time I tried a cartridge piercing they wouldn’t heal and I would get huge lumps on the back of my ear.. I’ve had to have the earrings cut off.. it was so upsetting! I may need to get something like the one you showed! Looks cute!

this could not have come at a better time!! love you ❤️
wow I very much appreciate your insights, we are always searching for the next best thing. I rationalize it by saying I will return the product if it doesn’t work. that still produces waste though, because the used and returned product is taken back, I get my money back and then the product is left in a land fill. it’s a bit depressing, and just because I wanted the “perfect” brow product when the brow pencils I have been using for years are pretty great already.
