Thank you for this type of vid!!! Not everything works for everybody so thank you so much for alternative products. Great job explaining exactly WHY you don’t like them.
Ehhhh....if you got an eyeshadow palette and have to bring in outside shadows to "make it work"...then the original palette does NOT work. Like if I got a bf and I have to bring in another guy to get things done .....👀
Andrea, try using the Melt pencil as a spot concealer or to clean up the eyebrow if the color would work for you. Make sure to blend quickly and not let it sit on the skin. While it doesn’t last on the waterline, it sets and lasts on the skin really well. I use the apricot shade as a color corrector and it works really well for my dark circles (I have a medium skin tone). Stays put and doesn’t budge. It’s actually one of the ways they recommend using the pencil. But I can only vouch for the apricot shade.
Every contour and bronzing beauty wand is living in my mind rent free right now lol I want to try so many but I can’t decide which one to get so they just sit in my cart waiting 😂
Dang I am 55 years old and I love my Dior Matte foundation and the Huda concealer. I was shocked when you brought out the Huda as a bad product. Makeup works so differently for every single person!
TY 💜, since it’s extremely helpful to know where to spend your hard earned 💸 as there’s a plethora of choices in a heavily saturated market out today . Such a fun video
I’ve struggled with really watery eyes for a few years, and I’ve finally narrowed it down to my skincare products. I can’t use peptides near my eyes at all! So if you’re having the same problem, it could be your skincare products, or your face moisturizer too close to your eyes. Maybe you can’t use peptides near your eyes. I always have to read labels really closely and if there is any peptides at all in the product, even at the bottom of the list, that’s a big no no, I can’t put it anywhere near my eyes. Since I’ve figured this out, my eyes don’t ever water at all anymore 😊
I'm not a huge fan of those elf wands either. I really don't like the highlighter one. I also don't understand the jump in color and undertone from the Fair/light contour to the Light/Medium contour. The only wand that I like is the blush wand in Berry Radiant.
I loved the video I have super dry skin and usually go for a concealer like TF but I LOVE the Huda concealer it’s the only Huda product I think is worth the hype
The NYX Bare With Me Blur Tint Soft Matte Foundation I did want try. Since I've been doing my makeup in 2007-today I realized that using a matte primer with matte products makes the foundation last longer. I only using a hydrating primer if I'm using a hydrating foundation. That's the way you're supposed to use this product. Colourpop's Heavy Petal Pressed Powder Palette is so pretty. I might be purchasing this.
I agree with the elf contour and blush wands you're better off sticking with the putty blush and bronzer formula the luminous ones are really nice the matte ones work great for me and the lightest shade is grey contour shade too i know not everyone likes the matte formula but i love them both and dont find them hard to blend or patchy they look flawless every time
I’m here for the train wreck!! 😂😂 these are hysterical usually. I always feel people should have the trash bin right next to them when doing these. 😂 I used to have two daughters at home so I’d pass my shitty stuff to them to try. With the caveat that I never wanted to see them again lol “if you don’t like it bring it to a friend or throw it out”. Lol
I know it seems like an oxymoron but your eyes are watery bc they are dry. When our eyes are dry it triggers the crying reflex so that our body tries to compensate for our eyes being so dry. You should check with your eye dr bc I get punctual plugs and it helps my eyes to not water anymore. I also manage an optometric physicians office so I’m so happy to have the knowledge.
I think the nyx blurr foundation could work great if you have a foundation that's a little bit too glowy in the summer time to mix in. Maybe a little too light and glowy foundation with a few drops of the nyx blurr foundation that's a bit to dark
@@AndreaMatillano would love to hear if it's working for you. At the moment I mix the EFL hydrating camo concealer (which is a better shade match to cover my dark circles) with the Catrice camouflage concealer (it's too dry alone and not the most perfect shade) both together work great.
Maybe you could keep the lip products for when you’re having a long day? All together they seems to be low maintenance! The only thing the foundation seems to be good for is detecting dry parts of the skin that’s not visible to the eye! Thanks for a great video! 💕
Yes! I was really surprised by the lip combo! It’s definitely more comfortable than a liquid lipstick, so it could be good for those long days. So true! I was like I had no idea. My forehead was so dry until I wore this foundation! 😂
I haven’t found a good drugstore alternative for a loose powder. 😭 I’ve been on the hunt for one so o will definitely keep you posted! I kind of want to try the pressed powder now.
Just bought the 2faced pinker times ahead and I've got w7 pallets that perform better, I paid full price and I'm gutted as I love the colour story and it smells amazing but the fall out is so bad and the tiny eye shadows is such a rip off
@@AndreaMatillano don't worry, Andréa, you're definitely not alone in that opinion! Angelica Nyqvist said she didn't like them either. Actually, she may have said that the bronzer/contour one was "ok," but that other inexpensive ones are better and it is in NO way a dupe for the CT one. As for the blush and highlighter ones, they were an absolute "NOPE" for her 😂
So I tried not to be influenced but I honestly did not like the look. I couldn’t see your face up close but usually your looks are stunning so since I actually thought it made you look a little sickly I know the products are definately not worth it! Love you Andrea! 😊
Hey. I absolutely love you and your content so this is not me shitting on you. Let’s get that straight lol. Don’t be afraid to zoom in when things get really icky 😂 I know this is a shit show, just talking in general 😊
I'm sorry, but the all pink eye look is not you. Well, I don't know if it's the pink shadows or if it's the off white, bottom lid liner - something is throwing me off and I don't know what it is 🤔😵💫. I mean, even your gorgeous eyebrows couldn't rescue this "pink eye". I really enjoyed this vid. It's amazing how different products behave on different people!! Love and blessings to you and your family 💖🌟💖🌟💖🌟💖🌟💖🌟💖🌟💖🌟💖
Did you do a wear test? Because that would be the only reason to put on these products. If you did you should include the wear. Such as did the Fenty mascara still flake? Did the foundation look better in warm weather?
Nothing wore better, in fact everything looked worse other than the lip products like I mentioned at the end of the video! I had to take my makeup off after three hours so it definitely solidified my original opinion.
My goodness your skin really does look... bad. Just, this is a "this is why people shouldn't wear make-up" look. I've seen people love that palette and I'm just like... I've seen Andrea's swatches and I have questions. The eye look is pretty.

Haha your analogy is spot on though. 😂 I agree definitely not worth the money!
😂 omg you've killed me...
😂
She's so right 😂😂😂
I'm using THAT analogy!!

Oh wow good to know that it lasts well on the skin! I used it a few times to clean up the brows but spot concealing- that’s such a good idea! 🙌
I love that you tagged alternative products you prefer instead!
Every contour and bronzing beauty wand is living in my mind rent free right now lol I want to try so many but I can’t decide which one to get so they just sit in my cart waiting 😂
I know right? 😂 There are so many options these days! It’s nice that there are so many affordable ones too!

Hello Andréa ! Thanks for the close-up at the en cause I could not see "the bad" !!!
You still looked great! Are you getting the abh cosmos palette. It looks like something you'd enjoy. Neutrals with pops of soft duochrome shimmers.
Happy Thursday Everyone
Hope you’re having a great week!

I need to go through and get rid off all the products I am “making work”.

Great Video Andrea Matillano
💗💗
Love this video X try the foundation mixed in with Glow recipe dew drops and over the elf grip primer.... Might help with the dry patch issues idk
The huda concealer is my favourite concealer. I have dry skin as well and it works well for me, although I use tons of skincare
Try Ami Cole lip oil, I love it! So comfortable!!
I love that one so much! I was just thinking today I haven’t seen mine in a little while and I was missing it!
I agree with the elf contour and blush wands you're better off sticking with the putty blush and bronzer formula the luminous ones are really nice the matte ones work great for me and the lightest shade is grey contour shade too i know not everyone likes the matte formula but i love them both and dont find them hard to blend or patchy they look flawless every time
Your skin looks amazing and sooooo refreshed!!! Thanks for making this video!
I love the elf halo wands lol but I agree that the nyx foundation is not good at all, and the huda concealer I ended up returning to Sephora.
I’m glad it wasn’t just me with the Huda concealer! 😅
What if you did a similar look but with products you like? 🤔
That’s a good idea! I would love to film one. 💗
Love this!!!!
Thank you for watching! 🥰
Bro the huda beauty concealer is the best 😮
I’m here for the train wreck!! 😂😂 these are hysterical usually.

😂😂 Haha I love that. Some products are just so bad!
Love the video concept!!!

That’s a good idea! Now I kind of want to mix it with the Makeup by Mario foundation.

Andrea do you still like the tower 28 tinted lip balms? I have the shade mix. I have seen reviews that it's not moisturizing and dried their lips.
I do really like them! I find them to be pretty moisturizing. Have you been liking the shade mix?
@@AndreaMatillano it's a nice color but I just got it. I've only tried it twice.
Maybe you could keep the lip products for when you’re having a long day? All together they seems to be low maintenance! The only thing the foundation seems to be good for is detecting dry parts of the skin that’s not visible to the eye! Thanks for a great video! 💕
Yes! I was really surprised by the lip combo! It’s definitely more comfortable than a liquid lipstick, so it could be good for those long days. So true! I was like I had no idea. My forehead was so dry until I wore this foundation! 😂
Do you have an alternative for the covergirl loose powder? Also Covergirl released a new concealer and pressed powder for that same line.
I haven’t found a good drugstore alternative for a loose powder. 😭 I’ve been on the hunt for one so o will definitely keep you posted! I kind of want to try the pressed powder now.
I feel the same about the Huda Beauty concealer! It is drying and looks heavy and cakey and creases horribly. Definitely not for me.
I’m glad it wasn’t just me! 😭
Your skin looks amazing after the IPL!
Ahhh thank you! That’s so kind of you! 💗
Just bought the 2faced pinker times ahead and I've got w7 pallets that perform better, I paid full price and I'm gutted as I love the colour story and it smells amazing but the fall out is so bad and the tiny eye shadows is such a rip off
Ugh I know it really was such a disappointment. 😭 I didn’t expect it to be so small either!
I don’t like That NYX foundation either! It’s soo cakey on me
It’s so weird because it looks so smooth in some areas and so cakey in others! 😭 I’m not a fan either.
@@AndreaMatillano I keep it in my drawer just in case, but my skin is so dry right now because I’m on accutane. I’m used to having greasyyyyy skin lol
💜💜💜
💗🥰
I’m so hoping for a close up of your face at the end, because girl your face looks dry all the way from ct 😂😂
😂😭 It was so bad!
I love how you hate those elf halo wands 😂😅😊
😭😂 I wanted to love them so much but I feel so disappointed by them.
@@AndreaMatillano don't worry, Andréa, you're definitely not alone in that opinion! Angelica Nyqvist said she didn't like them either.

So bad! 😭 Part of me was hoping all of these bad products combined would have an opposite effect and turn out great! 😂
