THANK YOU FOR WATCHING AND BEING WONDERFUL!!!
The way I click every video fully knowing I will never buy any of these products. 😅😍
+
Lol this made me laugh because I also will never buy any of the products, but I also still watch them all.
Same 😅
Same!! 😂😂😂
Same here❤😂
It would actually be really nice to get some b-roll in natural light some time. I feel like the level of detail in your verbal description is so high, that the visuals are at a disadvantage here and don't add that much, which is really weird to say for a beauty review on CZcams
I’d love some natural light too :)
“I feel like it’s a bridge too far to say eschew two times in the same video and yet here we are” made my week.
Hi Hannah, I'm not sure how to phrase it more elegantly, but I love the way you embrace the "unglamourousness" of your unfinished background setup, that not everything has to be perfect 1000% of the time, that you're simply living your life as usual in a time of change and adapting to it as it comes, and idk, it's just inspiring!
thank you!
Do you remember when HLP recorded a part of her "2017 Sephora spending" in a rundown house of a relative while cleaning it up? It truly lives in my head rent free.
❤ I love this comment. Maybe I just don’t notice background details but it made me annoyed/upset that so many people were making negative comments about the background. Hannah always has such gorgeous/interesting backgrounds. It takes time and patience to pull a space together. I actually like watching the evolution of a space. After Hannah did the video about choosing her paint colors for the new house, I went back to watch all the videos she made when transforming the the rental house.
You can say that she is not allowing “perfection to be the enemy of good enough”. I heard it from a dog trainer in reference to shorts of training versus how it goes when training in the real world and it suits so many situations. Too often we worry about perfection to the point where we are frozen and in this Pinterest, TikTok and Insta dotted landscape, only showing the best moments, it can be easy to feel inadequate to the point where it robs us of our joy.
For me as well! ❤
Not related to this but thank you for sharing your birth story video. I was really moved by the joy and happiness you expressed throughout. In the days since I’ve gone back to the pictures and videos of my own birth to my son and for the first time looked for, and found, joy and gratitude in the experience. Every other time looking back I’ve only felt the fear and sadness of it. You don’t hear many positive birth stories. Thank you, you shifted my perspective in a really positive way.
❤️❤️❤️
@HannahLouisePoston it made me think back....almost 28 years now (it swiftly goes by) when my first son was born and the delivery nurse proclaimed, "ah good ripples"! In the delirious moment right after birth it didn't phase me - as after giving birth can do. I have always looked back at that with a touch of humor and silliness until you mentioned about your challenge with feeding. I now look back and am thankful for the loud proclamation - and what a blessing it was and I had NO clue. Loved your birth story, its going to help so many women. ❤
As a heavily freckled redhead (now turning white), I've hated foundation and concealer all my life. If I cover my freckles my face no longer matches my body and if I use a translucent skin tint it never stays on and often transfers everywhere! This seems like it could give me the light coverage I crave. Price point is pretty good too.
Thanks for the review Hannah!
19:30 LOVE the use of models with realistic acne, that is so very relevant and helpful for people buying concealer products!!
I am intrigued by any brand with the courage to use accurate and honest imagery for their products. Huzzah to Refy. You have my interest.
Words doing better justice than the visual? My thought was, “yes, of course!” for HLP, the wordsmith. And I also realized that I would be highly skeptical of such a comment from anyone else. It emphasized to me what you bring to reviews.
how lucky are we to have an actual award-winning POET as a beauty tuber?!
@@janebarnette6548 Truly!
Would love a GRWM with updates of your move whenever you get the chance! Excited to see the bright colored living room someday.
Could you please do an in depth demo of how you got your brows to look this full and fluffy and beautiful?
I don't even wear makeup 99% of the time, but I love your videos. We may have a similar skin tone, as everything looks garish on me, and I used to find the green color around my mouth and neck embarrassing. Your videos are basically a bank of ideas for later when I need a green people product.
@@tinydragongirl lol "green people", i call myself a desaturated olive
@lizasoliman723 Ha! I only learned that pale people could be green recently, so I enjoy being kin to Kermit. It's not easy being green. At least not when you're looking for concealer and sophisticated lip colors.
Your skin does look great. And I’m also loving your brows!
I never wear makeup at all [the closest I get is chapstick and sunscreen, untinted] but I LOOOOOVE videos like this. It's so interesting to hear someone who knows so much about stuff like this talk about it and explain it so well.
Damn, this might just be my perfect complexion product if I can find a shade match. Thank you as always for such a beautifully thorough review!
The box is moved!!!! Hallelujah!!!!! 🎉😂
A little progress on the way from chaos to order.😊
Refy wasn’t on my radar, but after your review of their brow gel I did more research and purchased it. That brow gel is my holy grail and I can’t rave about it enough. It makes me a little sad that people write refy off because their delivery mechanisms can be unusual and need tinkering, but god they have such stellar products. I just bought the ND concealer, but this is on my radar too!
This concealer is absolutely fantastic. Now I want to try the brow gel when I run out of the one I’m using
My mom (and I now) has rosacea and she always told me that it's best to counteract redness with a product that's a half shade darker than you would normally use with your normal undertone, because the redness is a bit darker!
Girl, I’ll always watch a straight up in-depth review from you!
Your eyebrows! How! ❤
It’s now on my radar. I love the idea of an illuminating blurring veil of skin colour. The fact it lasts so well is a bonus. Thank you. Using two colours isn’t that huge a disadvantage. Getting that texture right is worth it. The soft sculpture is lovely too.
SOLD! I will be trying this magical concealer! Another product with a serum-y skin tint texture that dries down pretty well is the rose inc tinted serum (with the bead pigment similar to the Chanel and also now I think cover girl products).
Hannah, you are so articulate in your description of makeup. Your knowledge of texture, quality and colour is amazing. I wish I could have you in person to consult and shop with! It’s so frustrating to have something in mind and then be disappointed when products don’t work out, not to mention expensive. Ok rant over! I
Love you and your work! Thanks for being you!!! ❤❤❤
OK. I got the concealer! Partially because I was on the market for concealer and partially because of the praise it got in this video and let me just say 😯 I am truly blown away by this concealer on first impression. Guys, it’s good. I feel like it made me look 5 years younger, not that that’s the goal, but it did. It’s truly radiant, but not in a dewy over the top kind of way, it has amazing coverage, the shade match for me is amazing. I am amazed, this is what I have been looking for. This is the concealer, guys. This is the one
Watching the whole video even though most of the brands discussed on this channel aren’t available where I live 😊
I have it and didn’t like it because I didn’t know to shake it!!!! Thank you for making this.
All of my everyday makeup is from Refy. It takes away all the fuss, and the packaging looks great on my vanity. I love to travel with it too. Because the packaging is not prone to scratching and makeup stains (nars and charlotte tilbury here’s looking at you 👀) Takes me 5-10 minutes tops to do a complete face.
I’m so happy to see your review Hannah. I’ve had this concealer for a few weeks and I love it, and it’s very rare for me to say that about a concealer xxxxx
In light of the absolute landslide of blush launches recently, I’d be curious to see if you thought any were worth it! The Haus Labs blush balms and the new shimmery Danessa Myricks blushy highlighters are most interesting to me- but I’m also fascinated by Made By Mitchell. His brand might be worth a deep dive, though I’m probably going to treat myself to the Curve Case XL before you ever decided to make a video about him. 24 pans of cream blush for under 70 dollars is such a steal that I’ve been extremely tempted. Also I like how mid-priced his items are! They’re practically the new drugstore prices. With over thirty dollars for nearly every new blush on the market, who needs enemies?
I love your brows!! 🤩🤩🤩
Kind of wish I could have seen this before I got a new concealer the other day, but I'll keep this in the back of my mind for the next time I need one! Seems really interesting
Love an HLP dedicated review. Thank you for your thoughts! I’m glad you’re enjoying the concealer 🥰
Wish you could do more videos…. I truly feel calmed by your voice. Aesthetic.. I need that 😊, my daughter has leukemia and I need to get my mind off things , I await impatiently for each one. Thank you
You can always do a soothing playlist loop. I love revisiting old videos.
I bought this concealer from the promo videos they did alone because the finish looked unedited and so incredible to me. I'm glad you like it as much as I do! and the lightest shade is light enough for me which is also really great 😊
I alawys enjoy your videos and how elegantly you phrase things. Another informative video and good to know that this concealer met your expectations.
I love your background setup here, it really says "fewer, better things." And your eyebrows are fantastic here. Looks like you're using the Rephr synthetic concealer brush here. It's hard to conceive of how this concealer could function as an eye cream and yet set down all day? Could it really not emphasize fine lines on dry, maturing skin? I'm about 10 years older than you are, and starting to have a few crinkles around the eye area. So I'm curious, but dubious..... I know that bright sunlight on skin thing you're talking about; my husband is a photographer/painter from Salamanca and we have so many pictures of me squinting into the Spanish sun because he loves that effect 😅
You did such a good job with this review! 😊 I'm not sure if I can get this where I live, but I will definitely be looking for it. ❤
Oohh this was wonderful! I’ve been a glossier stretch concealer girl for years and their light neutral shade works great for me, but I do wish it had more staying power. It wears off so quickly, which is okay for the way I wear makeup most of the time, but there’s not a lot of coverage and the coverage that is there is quick to transfer or wear away. I’m similarly pale and olive but not as fair, so I think the 03 shade might actually work great for me on its own! I’m going to swatch at Sephora promptly!! I’m running low on my concealer, so this might be great timing. Thank you for this very informative review!!
Ok so I’m 53. I’ve never done fillers or Botox ( yet ha but I’m feeling it)! And late forties I finally got lines some baggage and dark circles! But that’s kinda when I gave up on foundation and concealer! It just sticks in the lines! 😢 ALL of them! The green stuff the orange stuff for circles the serum skincare type stuff…I just don’t think ( maybe I’m wrong ) that after a certain age it’s possible to wear those things? 🤷♀️ which is a shame i miss them as my skin has some red and the circles under my eye but idw stuff in my lines? It all seems like false promises ? Am I missing something 🤷♀️
Ok, I guess I’ll be purchasing this concealer. Sounds perfect for the summer, light coverage and dewy.
My tired brain read UNUSABLE wow, ok. Glad it isn't! (But what a move that would be, to publish an entire video just to call a single product unusable.)
thank you so much for this !! i usually wear the kosas concealer, but love refy soo much and was very curious about this product
Wonderful review. I've never bought anything from refy-- and under different circumstances would pass on this one too--partially because I have two concealers I love and that's plenty--and mostly because I don't have much interest in trying complexion products requiring me to "make it work" because they don't have olive or golden olive undertones in their range. However, I've spent the past 2 weeks in central America and am now a couple shades deeper and quite a but warmer that my usual base products--so a more saturated neutral or warm shade might just work. And lightweight but sturdy sounds perfect for this weather.
I know it's not unusual to come across a make up review soon after the product launches, but the dovetail of timing and qualities of this product feel serendipitous. Thank you!
Thanks for this Hannah. , I am interested and happy to hear your review. If you’re still thinking of reviewing the RMS Cream Foundation I would be very interested in that as well. 😊
It sounds like this compares to the Lisa Eldridge skin tint? Would love to see a comparison between this 'concealer' and the tint
I feel like it gave you that “glass skin” look, very beautiful ❤ I think I would really jive with this if I found the right shade
This is everything I wanted and needed from you for this review!! I was so interested in your take! I will buying at the next Sephora sale!
I really liked this video. I appreceate how informed and precide your reviews are. I think I've found the lip balm you're searching for. The clarins lip oil balm is glossy and very sheer, it comes in pretty shades even tjough I wish the brown was a bit darker.
Best wishes
✨eschewed✨
the color match looks perfect!
Ooh! I've been waiting for this.
Say no more Hannah - I am sold 😅 lol I hope they pay you for this video, not because it’s an ad but just because you talked about it, you can say something negative but it still sound beautiful because that’s just the way you speak 💖
Enjoying your content still.
😀Unrelated to topic at hand:
1. I just realized that your intro song reminds me of ForeverYoung song in NapoleonDynamite. ❤
2. I’m not sure if it’s the downward angle or what but you almost look superimposed in front of the furniture behind you.
Another lovely deep dive!
Have you tried the about face foundation? It's crazy (it's one of those sheerer products) but it's so beautiful. They have a fair olive shade but it looks a bit dark. So I use the neutral one!
I LOVE the F2 olive in the About Face foundation.. I don't buy a lot of foundations, but this shade seemed perfect and so hard to come by. I have been so pleasantly thrilled with this shade and formula! I do hope HLP does one of her deep dives on it.
Their light olive shade is the first foundation that I've ever tried in over a decade of wearing base make up that actually TRULY matches my skin tone, no need to mix anything or adjust with bronzers/powders/etc, wears well, fits my budget, and doesn't irritate my skin. I am beyond thrilled.
The formula of the About Face foundation is lovely, but I agree that the fair olive shade is still not light enough for someone like Hannah. My skin tone is very similar to hers, and I ended up returning it because it was too deep for me to wear without mixing in something to lighten it. It's a shame because the undertone was perfect 🥲
@@clairebud7905 that's unfortunate! I hope they can expand the deep and light shades!
Idk what changes you’ve made in the move to camera settings, but I feel like you look much more clear and sharp, and the background looks fake almost. Like there’s a print of your desk and such, or a green screen behind you. 😅 this might be a me thing. And I don’t know if I like it or not. Just something I noticed immediately. But as always, love you and your content!
The background has looked like a green screen to me for a while now. I don't love it but I've gotten used to it
I saw this brands lip colours and immediately thought of Hannah! It’s I think a Korean brand and it’s called Cappuvini!!!!
It’s probably good you’ve found an alternative to Rose since Rosie herself stepped off - I suspect the quality might change without her input
Really like your consumerism
I looove this video! Light to medium coverage with a glow is definitely my jam. Does the Maybelline Super Stay Up to 24HR Skin Tint come in a shade that works for you? It has almost exactly the same finish on the skin and can be sheer or even add quite a bit of coverage. I use it for concealer some days. I’m wondering if it’s similar to the Refy concealer? Thank you for spending time with us, Hannah! ❤
hurrah! the cardboard box is GONE from the table behind our Hannah.
I wonder if this is anything like the Lisa Eldridge skin tint? - it also needs shaking before use and a sort of makeup skin care blend...
Hey! No more background box! Things are 'moving' along. ☺
I love how you did your brows!! & I surprisingly liked this concealer when I tried on at Sephora but I want to try Salt New York concealer before I buy anything else from Sephora 😅 on a low buy with my bebe coming soon!
I never got to try the Rose Inc. The lightest shade has been sold out for almost a year in Canada
Hannah, have you tried the new Ilia stick foundation? (I dont know how new it actually is) I have the same skin tone as you and bought it after swatching it and seeing that it is almost grey/green in undertone! I dont even need color corrector with it. Im not usually a stick foundation girl, but this one has knocked it out of the park for me!
I hear rose inc lx010 & my ears perk up! I really hope nothing happens to the formula... But if it does... Refy here I come! 😂
This concealer sounds like something I would want to try! With getting older, I can't manage anymore my dry dehydrated skin plus the rosacea is a real redness and texture nightmare. It's not terrible rosacea but I'm not used to it and I find it a bit irritating! Having something that stays put would help so much, and the luminousity would help conceal the relentless dullness. How does it compare to the Lisa Eldridge skin tint? That's the only thing that makes my skin better and doesn't look bad under my eyes (actually looks pretty good, better than any concealer I own) but it's a bittoo matte for my liking and doesn't stay as well. I have to admit I touch my face a lot so nothing will really cut it to be fair
I have found it so hard to find a concealer that works for me, I will be 50 in September and everything makes my texture look worse. I am using the newish Tower 28 one and I like it but finding a great color match is hard.
well goddamn, I’m sold
brows been on fire!
I have 55yo eyes with dark undereyes that are dry with fine lines. My preference is a formula that's hydrating serum-like but has decent pigmentation. This Refy concealer sounds gimmicky. I dont want to shake and works fast to apply. What if it separates on our skin? Since it dries fast, does it have drying alcohol? If so, its a hard pass for my mature , dry undereyes.
Will you review the LYS concealer? I think LN3 might work for you; I ask because I want to buy it and I think you give the most thorough reviews.
I just want olive shades so bad! The Kosas products do this so well, but I'm not stoked on all the formulas, unfortunately. It's frustrating to know I don't have access to formulas that could be perfect unless I want to buy multiple things and mix them (I don't lol).
Thank you for the review ! Would you say it works for oily skin ?
I am loving this video and loving the sound of this concealer I have really dark circles do you think it would work
Sounds like this a liquid eye-shadow base with a complexion pigment suspension. Does it sit/set up well on top of sunscreen/emolient moisturizer? I'm intrigued :)
Oooo I have the fenty concealer now and so so on it. I may try this next! I also use kimiko from your suggestion and I love, but do you know anything that is an equivalent to the gel? It seems to run out so fast. 😩
Your skin looked great with this product!!
I loved the rose inc tinted serum for my lines! But sadly I think they’re no more as well? The color I like is sold out 😢 it didn’t settle in the lines
A lot of the Rose Inc products are still available on their website.
have you read Genevieve Cogman's "Invisible Library" series??? I just finished book one and had to immediately come here to share/ask. I'll comment again when you release your next vid.
Oof. Wet finish is a no for me- I always look sweaty. Good thing I have more than enough base makeup already. Interesting though.
Does the color range run darker than usual? I saw comments in the Sephora website saying this.
Wouldn’t it be nice if Refy reached out to Hannah, let her take over the marketing for this product and casually also create her perfect shade match?! A girl can dream..
Will it completely disguise my under eye blueness? That’s all I care about!
I wonder if this concealer, given the description, will work for covering dark circles? Because if it’s so luminous, how would it look under the eyes?
Our product needs don't align at all but I still want to buy everything you describe 😂
Yay, the moving box has gone 😂
Perfecting skin fluid?
Hmmmm, I feel like the spots I would want to conceal are diametrically opposed to the spots I would want to highlight.
The REFY looks promising , RosE INC WENT out of business/ fyi / not at Sephora anymore/ she sold the co ./ not sold !
💛
❤
❤❤❤
This is VERY interesting. It heavily reminds me of my favourite foundation (Pat Mcgrath 🫣), you have to shake that foundation (a lot of people dont, and if you dont you see a clear liquid that has seperated from the colour). It leaves the same natural dew finish that you describe too. I will def look into this concealer
Hannah, you’re the queen of redness color correction, what would you say is the best redness color corrector for dry skin? 🫶
Your background may not be fully glamorous yet, but you have made progress. Yay for the small victories! 🤎🤎🤎
