The expiring date for makeup is a good marketing trick from the beauty industry, if it looks, smells and performs well, there is no problem using it, dont throw it out because who is going to finish en eyeshadow palette in 18 months??
When it gets to drugstore bronzers one of my all time favorites is the body shop honey bronzer! Definitely worth trying.
The hair is gorgeous....will have to try putting my hair up like that. This was such a helpful video! 💜
i love this idea! you should also do this with skincare! 😍
I am so glad Alex Anele recommended you to me!!! It's wonderful to watch someone whose skin is the same color as mine! Being olive causes color challenges, but I generally know if it looks good on you...it will work for me too! Thanks sooo much for videos like these!!!
Love this! You always have tips that I’ve never seen or heard of before, like what you did with your eyes. Can’t wait to try something similar!
When you were saying palettes expire my thoughts i am not throwing away my motherships!!
Love this video concept 😆 such a easy but flattering look. I do think that the Maybelline city bronzers and the Rimmel natural bronzers have always worked well for me. But everything else was very true!
Your hair looks FANTASTIC like this!! 😍😍😍
I loved this video!🤎 I really love your opinions & recommendations. You look flawless, radiant, fresh, & so so gorgeous!🔥🔥
I disagree on the lid primers. I have really oily lids and I have tried not using lid primer, I’ve tried concealer on my lids doesn’t work. I’ve tried almost everything the only thing that works is my urban decay primer potion. I guess it depends on if you have oily lids.
I Agree. Oily eyelids really need a good primer. I don't have oily lids and I still prefer a great primer! It looks so much better than concealer because concealer has more emoilient ingredients so it's not meant to prime the eye lids!
Maybelline City Bronzer is great! Easy to work with and blends so easily.
Was going to recommend the same thing! Great color, buildable, and nice matte formulation.
Gorgeous as always!!!
Loved this video!!! Sooo helpful 💕
I love this so much Thank you. Would love to see you do a video on your favorite items that you splurge on in those categories and then your favorite items that you saved on in this categories! 💋💕❣️😘
Hey! First time I watch one of your videos, you're gorgeous, and this kind of videos I totally love, I don't like to spend a lot of money in makeup (mostly because I don't ha e it) and it's so helpfull to know this kind of stuff
LOVE IT
Great video. I think cream blushes are definitely something to splurge !!
Love this! Would love a skincare video ✨
Hi! I adopted your tip to use foundation as an eyeshadow primer. Thanks!
Definitely try the Physician’s Formula bronzers! The Bronze Booster and Butter Bronzer are the only bronzers I like, period.
Love their bronzers 💗
Absolutely Stunning! 💜
I love your videos!!! 💕
I love this and it was so helpful! I also wish there were more talc-free products out there. Talc makes me break out and it's been quite a search to find stuff without talc!
Love the look! Drug store has come a long way. I love Pixi, Flower beauty gets over looked a lot they have some nice blushes and eye pencils, Milani blushes for sure. Thank you for the options.❤️
You are STUNNING! 😍
Great recs! Love the Maybelline Dream Urban Cover. Where is your earring cuff from?
Omg!! Your eyes are so mesmerizing!!!
Love your hair everything you are stunning thank you for your tips and expertise 😁
For concealer the Maybeline Age Rewind is perfect. for under eyes, but also red eareas or if there is a place you want a little more coverage.
is it too dry ?
The best brow gel I have ever used is from the drugstore. It is the Maybelline Brow Fast Sculpt. I have dark brown hair and I get the shade Black/Brown. It is incredible and so affordable! You can find on Amazon if you're stuck in the house from Covid.
I loved this video 💚
Flower Beauty concealer is AMAZING, super creamy the best drugstore one I've found. For powder I really like the ELF halo setting powder for under eyes
Love the suggestions. The Milani blushes work extremely well. I will try more the drug store mascaras because of the shelf life but a lot of them really make my eyes red so generally I don’t wear any mascara. Nars and Laura Mercier don’t do that but L’Oréal Voluminous definitely did not work for that same reason.
Maybelline City Bronzer and Milani Silky Matte Bronzing powder are not dusty or chalky, go on smoothly, and are very beginner friendly. I’ve seen young girls enjoy both as well as high end loving makeup artists. Give them a try!(Maybelline Fit Me loose and pressed powder are probably the best drugstore powders out there!)
Have you ever tried the No7 translucent loose powder?? I’ve used it for a while and feel like it could be a dupe for the Laura mercier
You mentioned the l'oreal infallible freshwear foundation but what shade is yours?
Love this girl.. How u get such a flawless look everything. Plzzz do a skincare video again..
Adorable !!! Look !!
Love your videos kisses from Greece!!!
What's the best way to find out your shade from drugstore brand: MAYBELLINE - Dream Urban Cover Foundation?
You are amazing. Annnnd so beautiful. Love love love this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love the Milani conceal + perfect concealer, as well as the Milani afterglow highlighter. Highly recommend!
Is the concealer full coverage ? The only one that works well on my dark circles is tarte shape tape, i'd love to find a dupe
@@geekista I'd say medium to full, and it is buildable.
The hardest part for me about drugstore foundation is finding the right shade 😫
Yesss, same here. However, if you buy at Target, they have ladies working in the makeup isles specifically, ready to help. 😊🙌🏼
Simple Nail Designs I’ve only seen them a few times at my local target, I’ll keep my eyes more peeled for that! Thanks for the tip ☺️
Number 7 lift and laminate powder is a great drugstore option
Although this is makeup, I'm a splurge on skincare than makeup, gal!
Hi Melissa! Love your routines, always turn out seamless!! Have you tried the hourglass setting powder? Does it compete with the LM in your opinion?
I have Hourglass & Laura Mercier powder. They are VERY similar. Laura Mercier is a bigger bang for your buck. More product for less money.
I have both and I prefer the HG. It doesn’t look as dry and looks more blurred IMO.
Milani Silky Matt Bronzer has pretty good reviews! I've also used the Flower Beauty Bronzer for a nice shimmery one. The Elf Powder Contour kit was also great! However, I say splurge as well; My first ever luxury purchase was a Guerlain Terra Cota Bronzer
Even though I love Butter Bronzer, I found the smell too strong!
Melissa where are your earrings from?
I've heard the Flower Beauty Heatwave Bronzer and the Milani Silky Matte Bronzer are beginner friendly.
Hermosa como siempre 💯👏🏻❤️
Nyx matte bronzer, try shade deep! 👌👌👌👌 Blends like a dream !
Melissa where is your lamp from? Xxx
For me I have never got a good drugstore foundation, because of the limited shades launching in my country (5-10 shades only). The logetivity, skin friendly, texture.... so definitely I wear high end foundation, concealer and setting powder. Rest is fine.
Have you considered mixing shades? I do that with foundations I like all the time. In my favourite formulas I get one lighter and one darker shade with the undertone that suits me best and mix depending on how tan I am atm. I hope this might be helpful, unless the problem is that drugstores don't carry shades dark enough for you.
@@justynawisniewska1213 I get the perfect match in drugstore foundations, its just that it looks whitish grey even if the undertone and shade is perfect. It's not just me who face this problem, most of my friends and family have faced grayish white cast. Once I decided to wear a darker shade, even that looked off. I use Estee lauder, dior, tom ford, Bobbi brown, they look amazingly well with my Indian skin. Mostly I use drugstore lipsticks, mascaras eye pencils, etc, so that I can manage for better foundation, concealer and powders from high end. Even my skincare has hardly any expense as its mostly natural ancient ways which doesn't cost much, this saves me a lot.
Blush bronzer and highlighter save or splurge?
Beautiful look 😍😘🥰
Morphe bronzers are really good!
I don’t think I have the money to splurge on two concealers.. just find one that is close to your color and you are fine. Plus all this products are super expensive..
Physicians Formula bronzer! That's one if my favorite drugstore bronzers.
The talc in the LM powder isn’t what bothers my skin.. it’s the cornstarch.. it has cornstarch in it and it immediately irritates my skin. I wonder why no one else mentions this..
A vegan and or cruelty free version of this would be nice! 🌱
I will agree to disagree on the concealer! Splurging on a concealer is so unnecessary! The milani one performs better than most high end concealers for sure.
I use Loreal More than Concealer and totally agree with you. The high end concealers I've tried: UD Naked and Mac Pro Longwear totally flopped for me, they flopped so bad for me I wanted to cry lmao (I can't return cosmetics in my country).
I thought it said drunk too!!!! I would be singing my heart out....I like the drunk version more lol
I have to splurge on foundation, bc drugstore just about never has light skinned yellow-olive undertones 😖 and when+if I wear the wrong undertone even a neutral toned one, my face will always look obvious & off 😐
Ahhh early fammm 😍🥰 love you Melissa!!! 🤍
💛💛💛💛
💜💜
I have struggled with the, Do i need this new make up? is it better, or do i get it just so I can film a tutorial ? hahaha
Really love the drug store Physicians Formula bronzers 💗
I think we should have 1 of everything that good expensive that can't be dope foundation primer lipstick oil perfume
True! We should splurge but not overbuy. My mom was glamourous but only had one of each. Especially since we don't ever use up anything. I will try to do this! He he😄
Good dear from ur heart ...from india
I don't need anything "expensive", but I need stuff that is well thought through. I need to use makeup that is organic and made for problematic skin, otherwise I break out like crazy. Same goes for skincare. So I spend a lot of time researching before buying stuff. So for me it's not about the money as much as about time/effort. And no, it turns out you don't need to spend a lot on organic stuff. But again, reaserach is key.
Really? I guess it depends on your definition of expensive... but what brands sell organic makeup that isn’t expensive?
Could you share with us the makeup products you use? I have sensitive skin and I've been trying to find a foundation that doesn't irritate my skin
@@raquelseguraberna8881 There is a slight problem... I live in Europe. But I guess you could use Aliexpress or something. We do have above 10 brands of mineral makeup that I know of. That is the tip of the iceberg. Try Pixie (not your Pixi), Earthnicity, ecolore, Annabelle Minerals. I also use BB creams from Vianek and Resibo. BUT there are also Italian brands, like Equilibra and Felicea that do organic foundation and they are pretty liked in my country. The price tag - less than 20 dollars, more likely 12.
@@twilit I didn't see your comment, sorry to reply so late. I use mineral foundation that cost me about 40 PLN, so about 10$. My BB cream costs 25 PLN on sale, so about 7$? I have one BB cream that is considered up there in price - 70 PLN, so about 20$.
@@MaddiedeVillada I also live in Europe. I'm from Spain. I will definitely check them out. Thank you so much for sharing 😘
You look beautiful
Your are gorgeous
Splurge around eyes avoid infections.
💛💙💜💚❤
I hate people who fear monger about ingredients such as talc. According to the CIR and FDA, talc is deemed safe to use and there is no study that has shown any conclusive link to cancer. A better reason would be to avoid talc due to environmental reasons and how it's being illegally mined in animal sanctuaries. At the end of the day, it's hard to be 100% ethical in a consumerist society
Mercier has talc. Avoid talc .
Melissa, I am always surprised at your diehard love for NARS . They went from cruelty free to non-cruelty free when they started selling their products in China. With how much I know that you love animals it’s just really surprising to me that you are still championing the brand
Relax China has now banned animal testing in comestics. And she does what she wants.
Delphine That was a nasty, passive aggressive response to my comment. My comment was in no way disrespectful, just honest, perhaps a little challenging. I’m a big fan of Melissa’s channel. . Melissa has been a long time advocate for NARS , I know that she used to work for the company, and she is often sponsored by them. When she makes videos that are either sponsored by the company or feature their products, I typically don’t watch them. Of course she has a right to do what she wants as we all do. I chose a long time ago to stop buying their products because I love animals and can’t stand the thought of Them being tortured and killed just so that I can have a pretty blush or pretty eyeshadow. Not everybody believes the same way that I do. But I do have the right to ask the question and she has the right to respond if she wants to. And since when did china ban testing on animals. If that really was the case it would be all over CZcams now
@@gailjacobson9736And your comment was ignorant, you buttheart. Just check it on Google instead of saying "iF iT wAs tHe cAse iT wOulD bE oN yOuTuBe"
@@gailjacobson9736 actually your comment definitely leaned towards rude and slightly confrontational.
@@delphine6818 according to what I found out, imported cosmetics can still be tested on animals. Cosmetics made in China don't have to be tested on, however I think there could be underlying conditions where they are tested on animals. It was a little confusing.
Красивая
Melissa what happened to you..i enjoyed tour videos before but now...omg
Save on everything people, drugstores have gotten amazing. There is literally no need to splurge on anything !
