You're so right about make-up snobbery...especially now with the huge resumed interest in make-up. Make-up culture has become less and less about exchanging tips and promiting beauty in all forms and more about what products are "in" to use (and they are usually the expensive ones being pushed onto consumers by "bloggers"). But I love that you're so humble and down to earth about it and it IS true that while you can still achieve great looks using drugstore products there are still some things that are better to splurge on because of quality.
I love that you talk about IMPORTANT things like this. It's so helpful to those just starting out with makeup, and you're so helpful in telling viewers how to spot cheap items and things that aren't worth the cost. I wish there were more gurus that talk about these topics.
When you mentioned using lipstick for cream blush it brought back memories, my mom always used to dot her cheeks with her lipstick for her blush and it actually looked really nice.
YES! Thank you! I think everyone should definitely spend more when it comes to foundation. There are some stand out drugstore foundations, but seriously, it's the base for the entire look! SPEND IT GIRL!
Wayne, I want to thank you. Your are one of the only makeup artist on CZcams that is not of color but include information for people of color in your video. You address makeup for all ranges of skin tones that the majority of people don't. Thanks again!
All of my makeup and tools inexpensive and I think I do a good job with my makeup. I see so many people spend so much on products and tools and their makeup still looks a mess. It's about technique and skill.
maybe, I did a great job with cheap makeup before, but damn if you have the skill and use high end it will be amazing. like he says mascaras and lipsticks can be cheap and amazing. but I do love NARS blushes and they will last me a lifetime.
Absolutely! Most of my lipsticks are drugstore. I do have some high end stuff but in my opinion you should spend on your base (primer, foundation, concealer) and after that just save. :)
Hi Wayne, just came across to this video... I love it!! But just curious, would you still give the same advice today, maybe can you do an update video on this? Many thanks!!
As a boy, i wear so much less makeup than a girl in terms of application/types, like i obviously don't wear lip/eye makeup or blusher so i tend to splash out on everything, but i agree with everything you've said, for lip/eye makeup there's usually a dupe for almost everything high end, but base products imo are worth the investment, my foundations, bronzer and concealer last me over a year so i justify it as about 10£ a month O:) Merry Christmas fellow goss fans i hope you all got some lovely beauty gifts. I got a cheek brush from your collection for my Mum she loves it! :D x
Nars blushes make me go weak at the knees. And I'm a fool in love with finishing powders, especially Guerlain and Hourglass. Can happiness come in a little silver tin? Pretty sure it can. Merry Christmas, Wayne! Xx
*This* is why I appreciate Wayne’s advice so much! He’s right, once it’s on your face, no one will know who made the shadows. I love the video where he discusses ELF shadows. He said as long as you use a good primer, ELF is as good as the Chanelle shadows. Thank you for keeping it real Wayne!!
You're so down to earth - I love it! Thanks for not being all like "buy the most expensive".. Artists like Tanya burr make you feel bad about not getting all MAC. I don't think mac is as amazing as people make out. I think it looks gorgeous but it's so heavy and for the studio IMO.
Janelle fairlamb I agree. In fact, I should have implied I just meant the foundations on myself. I love their eyeshadows, pigments, blushes, brushes etc.
HI Wayne Can you please do a what's your opinion of a beginners makeup essential's!! I thinking a lot of people would enjoy this video. Like what would you suggest that beginners should have based on this video save/spend :)
Some recommendations for beginners: Rimmel do the best lip liners in my opinion, I've tried high end such as motives, and they don't last as long. L'Oréal do the best mascaras. Nyx great for lipstick/gloss Rimmel stay matte powder is great Eyeshadow, there isn't really any decent ones in British drugstore, I suppose there is sleek though, urban decay all the way! Eyeliner all drugstore ones do good eyeliners to be honest
I LOVE to hear you talk. The way you talk gives me life. And I love how you're not like other people. Now in the makeup world is so materialistic and showing off your expensive makeup.
i appreciate how honest you are...you have lots of great makeup and expensive makeup yet you are honest and i respect that. expensive doesn't always mean the best. Thank you.
I HATE makeup snobbery. -_- I can't even express how much lol. I have & use both high end and drugstore products. I have some drugstore items that perform better than the high end items & vice versa. I also have some high end products that are complete crap. Price doesn't make a product better, or crappy. I also hate when people are so snobby with their makeup they only use one brand. It's SOOOO limiting. There's so many amazing products out there from so many different brands. I song see why people would limit themselves with makeup. Thanks for sharing! This was very informative :)
I absolutely agree w everything you said, nice to see your logic and practicality in regards to what items to spend on I rarely by high end make up anymore. Ive worked in the cosmetic and fragrance industry and the markup is huge. Great advice! PS I love your vids and warm personality, just subscribed this wk. :)
I absolutely love you!!!...I'm a woman of color and what I love about your channel the most is that you don't just stick to doing hands on makeup applications like most of the tutorials you find on CZcams but you give practical tips that actually makes your makeup look better!Thank You!!!!Forever a FAN:-)
omg, so true about the mascara and so glad you mention this straight off the bat! My fave mascara is by NYC and is only like $2 and is made in the UK. I like it even better than more expensive mascaras (I get free samples from brands like UD and Clinique). At $2 I don't have to cry every time I toss one and open a new one.
About the pencils.... I know! Right? It doesn't matter if they're $3 or $30, seems like all my eye and lip pencils are made in Germany. I'm picturing this one huge factory making them for every cosmetic brand in the world.
Desktop Kitty And the softest eyeliner I have ever seen is the ScandalEyes eyeliner. I gave them as part of everyone's Xmas gifts last year and all my girlfriends were thrilled with them. Only a couple dollars, and it doesn't break my heart when I lose one. (I tend to lose eyeliners and lip liners all the time, for some reason)
And this why I'm absolutely addicted to your videos - these fabulous tips on where to really splurge and/or save put a huge smile on my face! Love your channel, Wayne! 👍👍👍
100% agree! I've been doing this for ages. Splurging on key items for colour pay off and saving on mascara etc. Provided that your mascara has a good brush, you'll get a good result. Basically, if it looks good and suits you, then just go for it. I would also splurge on nail varnish but NOT on Chanel. Leighton Denny, OPI and a Seche Vite top coat is the way forward. QVC do sets to make a lot of the nail paints affordable, so it's not too much of a pinch.
You are so well spoken and I really trust everything you say in your videos. Keep on doing what you're doing, you're helping so many people feel beautiful!
I absolutely adore you, Wayne. I'm glad we see almost precisely eye to eye on this subject, because it's something I argue about a lot with friends. The only area where I differ is on lips. I will almost always spend on lip colors! It's just that I prefer to have a color that will either stay on all day or that looks pretty if I have to reapply it after leaving the house. It might be a different story if I changed up my lip color a lot, but I tend to stick to the same handful of shades constantly while I play a lot more with my eyes.
I usually spend money on eyeshadow palettes. It's like an addiction. Also the quality is so much better. Eyelash curlers have to be good quality. The cheap ones do nothing. Highlighters and concealer ... Buy the high end ones, they are way better.
+Ginette Hebert I'm a little bit addicted to eyeshadow palettes too, do you know the brand Zoeva? I have 2 palettes from Zoeva and I love them, great pigmentation and awesome colors and they cost around 20 bucks.
Totally agree; drugstore foundation just doesn't cut it for me. I have bought high end foundation for years and have found, like you say, it lasts for ages. Such a great video, great to hear that some cheaper products are worthwhile, I find some magazines tend to focus on brand name make-up which sucks when I'm a bit skint. That's why I love Boots, a mixture of drugstore and higher end products. Great video!
Great video. I WANT to spend more on mascara, as I am always on the hunt for the PERFECT one, but my eyelashes are very long naturally and I did feel I was just wasting money. Since saving up and upgrading my foundation and blush, I've noticed a massive difference.
Great advice as always Wayne! I love to find ways to multi-task makeup. My newest is the Makeup Revolution Iconic Dreams palette. Matte YELLOW doubles as a redness correcting finishing powder, Matte BROWN works as a bronzer and 4 of the shimmer shades can be used as highlighters anywhere on the face. All their formulas are safe for sensitive skin, and their prices and quality can't be beat.
I definetely agree with you. I spend more on my foundation (Lancome), bronzer (Estee Laudeer), basic lipsticks (YSL, Lancome) and mascara (because I love the brush!!). But other things, like eyeliners and eyeshadows, lipglosses, and even blushes, there are tons of good, cheap products !
Thanks Wayne! very helpful. I'm definitely no makeup snob (can't afford to be!) Australia has some amazing affordable 'drugstore' brands as well as the big American ones like Maybelline, L'Oreal, Covergirl etc. I own mostly drugstore makeup, but treat myself to high-end sometimes too. I only own 1 YSL lipstick and I treasure it (the gold packaging looks good on my dressing table too) :)
Thank you! QUESTION: I'm also curious about if you would recommend spending the money on high end concealers. My under-eye dark circles are my main problem and I am on a SUPER tight budget and have never been able to really spend what I would like on makeup. But does high end really make a big difference with concealers? Any recommended brands? You are my fav. Thank you so much. :)
i think he had mentionned in some video to use mac full coverage in ur undereye shade bcz u know the mac studio finish concealer is the same product as in the full coverage mac foundation but the foundation is without spf (which is better bcz i have the concealer and since it has spf it looks whitish with flash in pics ugh)so u get a concelar that will last u forever u r invisting in a good long term product while creamy concealers really finish soo fast and the mac studio finish will honestly last you a looot of time bcz u only use a tiiiny bit and its enough(its concentrated) add me on facebook if u didnt get what i mean bcz i really dont think i explained well(fb: "scarlet hind" and IG its "confidentialscarlet")
Holly den Ouden Hi holly Ive had the same problem. I used to use the Maybelline conceler but it only made my face look ashy. What I recomend i to use mac pro long where conceler it is amaing and honestly it lasts up to 10 hours. but you have to prime your under eye before
100% agree with everything you said! I told lots of people my philosophy on what/when you should spend on makeup and it's true and I've known it ever since I started wearing makeup in my teens. Oh mascara!
Hi Wayne.. what do you think of makeup geek eyeshadows? Have u tried them out? Id really appreciate a review on these if u have. Thank you very much :)
What is your personal opinion on Too Faced makeup products? I noticed you haven't mentioned the company, and was just wondering if I'm wasting my money buying from Too Faced
I have the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette and honestly I've found it to be extremely average quality. It's such a raved about product (most likely due to packaging & the chocolate scent rather than the actual eyeshadows!) I wouldn't recommend.
You are (seriously) THE BEST!!!!!!!!!! You are so honest and I appreciate that. Other youtubers always make us buy things we wouldn't even need :D and you are just being honest!!! thank you so much for that!! :)
And I thought I am retarded thinking that "blush? why don't just use pink/coral/orange matte eyeshadows??" all this time! Thank you for this video, Wayne. I want to know your opinion for lip glosses and concealers. Should we spend or save? Oh, and Merry Christmas! :)
Wait I'm totally lost what is makeup today Paris? I've never heard of that brand would you please do a review on there makeup and how to purchase it ? Thank you!!!:)
I've got a few items from Makeup Geek and they are beautiful, they're equal to MAC & Urban Decay I reckon, also great gel eyeliner & just came out with pigments not long ago which are gorgeous. Aroud easter I think she's coming out with blushes and I seen the prototype pictures on marlena's website. They are well worth the money and her website has a wealth of information and pictures you'll love them. I might look into the Atelier because he certainly has mentioned them a lot of times favourably. Hopefully they ship to Australia. Let me know what you get from MUG as I'm eventually want her whole collection of colours lol :)♥
I bought two of the rainbow pans in a purple and in brownish taupe colour but need to go back into inglot to check out their blush. They are lovely and I think great for the price but really do need to explore it more. I was surprised to learn we had a store close to me which is kind of exciting:)♥
I will check out the freedom system. Most of my purchases are from America because they are way cheaper than Astralian prices but yeah it is pretty good to be close to all these shops, but then there is never any quite time, it is always noisy lol
Best. Vid. Ever! Thank you for your expertise! Lipstick as cream blush and pencils from the same factories BLOWS MY MIND and makes me feel smarter than all the snobs.
Don't agree with cheaper lipsticks. Crap staying power and who has the time to apply lipstick every ten minutes, not forgetting re-application uses product up very quickly, so buying more and spending more in the long run. Sorry Wayne! Yes deffo splurge on a good foundation though, true. Oh and Guerlain do the best bronzers out there too. You love Bobbi Brown !!!!!
I think he's saying it because he does know of good cheaper lipsticks, like if you watch his video on Maybelline products, you can see him talk about those there.
Debbie George I suppose it’s the same rule as for eyeshadows, but eyeshadows can work well as highlighters too. Swatch first to see if it’s the right level of shimmer/glow.
Great advice. Only today I was thinking how high end foundation is sooo much better than the cheap ones. I will definitely stop saving on foundation! Anyway, nothing beats the feeling of luxury when you put a great foundation on in the morning. .. feel like you're reborn.
I hate to say this, I used to save on my mascara but since I switched to the more splurge brands the overall condition of my lashes has improved so much!
In this video he mentions: MAC full coverage foundation RCMA foundation Hourglass Kett Makeup Atelier Paris (he loves this one) And he also has spoken a lot about Ellis Faas foundation in other videos :) Cheers x
You are so right about mascara!! Spending $40 on mascara from Sephora, was the biggest mistake Ive ever made, only using it a dozen times or so. Ugh I love you too much! lol
You dont have to buy anything or watch this video. I don't think he meant any of that in the context in which you are taking it? I think this was great advice, as he couldve plugged in a whole bunch of random companies, and try to make a buck, and he didnt.
I think he was giving us great advice!..I would like to save my pennies or dollars and buy his brushes..I bet they are wonderful!! I think you took me wrong..no harm was meant..I love Mr Wayne's video;s,,
MrsLoretta Hey Mrs.Loretta! My apologies, I may have taken your comment out of context my self! Thanks for clearing that up! :) I love Wayne too! He is one of the very few MUA out there that actually tells it how it is!
I don't use eyeshadow and bronzer, but as for the other products I totally agree! A good foundation is the key. I used to wear only drugstore products until I discovered Estee Lauder foundation. What a change for my oily skin!
Thanks Wayne! You made me feel good. I never use eyebrow pencils but a Revlon eyeshadow with a stencil. My friends think I'm crazy but it works for me. Perfect matching brows the same size!
I thought my mom was crazy telling me when I was little to use lipstick for blush.. Wow who knew?? lol I also use eyeshadow for filling in my brows. But I did not know about the rest. Great info Wayne. Thanks hun
Omg you're the best. I totally agree with all that. You are officially my fave makeup artist. So real and knowledgeable, and willing to share all your secrets. Thank you!
Thanks again for the excellent advice. For the person who mentioned brushes. ..WRONG! !! Good tools are your best friend. Wayne's line of brushes surpasses anything out there for quality and versatility. Definitely a SPEND! Love ya Wayne! Have a great holiday.
In terms of mascara, Miss Sporty do some great ones and they're so cheap! I currently use Lash Millionaire Fake Mascara and it's really quite amazing for just £3! The brush doesn't even need wiping off yet it gives me such thick black lashes, and creates quite a dramatic look once layered up. I'd recommend trying this or one of their other ones if you're not into spending tonnes on mascara - even if you're not that keen you've only wasted a couple of quid :)
Loooove. Totally needed this video being relatively new jumping headfirst into "big girl" makeup. Would love more videos with tips like these. (Love knowing that pencils are mostly made by the same manufacturers!)
You have just saved me a lot of time! I've been wanting to increase my make-up stash, but didn't know in which to spend more. Very VERY helpful video, (most of yours are) Thank you so much Goss, you are so great!
I never really put much into makeup or maybe I should say myself...I was streaming video's and just so happened I stopped on one of your's. You made me laugh your personality it corky and free spirited. You have a love of being a makeup artiest, but a heart for inner beauty...I just love your inner self. went and got some makeup and started playing dress up...boy did I walk around looking like a smoky eyed raccoon... lol Thanks for keeping a healthy balance for all us nerds...
I agree with all of your advice here but absolutely LOVE Benefit's They're real mascara. It is $23 in the US. I bought some for a friend last week and she loves it!
You're so right about make-up snobbery...especially now with the huge resumed interest in make-up. Make-up culture has become less and less about exchanging tips and promiting beauty in all forms and more about what products are "in" to use (and they are usually the expensive ones being pushed onto consumers by "bloggers"). But I love that you're so humble and down to earth about it and it IS true that while you can still achieve great looks using drugstore products there are still some things that are better to splurge on because of quality.
Cringe Later well said!
I love to hear him talk
+Zenobia McRae so true.
I know right, when he talks you better be listening 👂🏻
+Zenobia McRae Yeah really. His accent is beautiful.
he should read audio books
Me too!
I like that he considers women of color and dark skinned women in his advice. Thank you!
It's like getting advice from my dad :)
thanks dad
HentaiCoffee
Nice comment
Lol 😆 👏👍🏼
Lol
I love that you talk about IMPORTANT things like this. It's so helpful to those just starting out with makeup, and you're so helpful in telling viewers how to spot cheap items and things that aren't worth the cost. I wish there were more gurus that talk about these topics.
Wayne Goss and Lisa Eldgridge are my favourite makeup artists on youtube ! I've learnt so much from them
When you mentioned using lipstick for cream blush it brought back memories, my mom always used to dot her cheeks with her lipstick for her blush and it actually looked really nice.
mine too
YES! Thank you! I think everyone should definitely spend more when it comes to foundation. There are some stand out drugstore foundations, but seriously, it's the base for the entire look! SPEND IT GIRL!
I simply adore"Its just make up! Who cares".
Me too!
Thank you doll for mentioning women of color. I'm loving you!
Agree.
He mentions women of color in most videos :) watch the rest! he is great, gives amazing tips!
Wayne, I want to thank you. Your are one of the only makeup artist on CZcams that is not of color but include information for people of color in your video. You address makeup for all ranges of skin tones that the majority of people don't. Thanks again!
All of my makeup and tools inexpensive and I think I do a good job with my makeup. I see so many people spend so much on products and tools and their makeup still looks a mess. It's about technique and skill.
Of course, BUT you can do a lot more with good brushes and shit makeup than vice versa. But of course it's about technique and skill aswell :D
maybe, I did a great job with cheap makeup before, but damn if you have the skill and use high end it will be amazing. like he says mascaras and lipsticks can be cheap and amazing. but I do love NARS blushes and they will last me a lifetime.
Absolutely! Most of my lipsticks are drugstore. I do have some high end stuff but in my opinion you should spend on your base (primer, foundation, concealer) and after that just save. :)
This1Jen a little late to this debate, but I'm learning a good toner is also a worthy investment.
you know how people always ask what ia your holy grail product? your channel is holy grail for my beauty haha
I totally agree. I call him my guy when I'm talking to my daughter. 😂
I only trust Wayne Goss's word. Period!
Period
Hi Wayne, just came across to this video... I love it!! But just curious, would you still give the same advice today, maybe can you do an update video on this? Many thanks!!
OMG! I was thinking the same thing! Waaaaayne, do an update:-)
yea good idea!
Why would he not?
It would be interesting to here an update on the brands that you recommend for each item of makeup
As a boy, i wear so much less makeup than a girl in terms of application/types, like i obviously don't wear lip/eye makeup or blusher so i tend to splash out on everything, but i agree with everything you've said, for lip/eye makeup there's usually a dupe for almost everything high end, but base products imo are worth the investment, my foundations, bronzer and concealer last me over a year so i justify it as about 10£ a month O:) Merry Christmas fellow goss fans i hope you all got some lovely beauty gifts. I got a cheek brush from your collection for my Mum she loves it! :D x
Nars blushes make me go weak at the knees. And I'm a fool in love with finishing powders, especially Guerlain and Hourglass. Can happiness come in a little silver tin? Pretty sure it can. Merry Christmas, Wayne! Xx
I love how genuine and authentic you are with your tips and suggestions to us viewers. You are the best Wayne!
*This* is why I appreciate Wayne’s advice so much! He’s right, once it’s on your face, no one will know who made the shadows. I love the video where he discusses ELF shadows. He said as long as you use a good primer, ELF is as good as the Chanelle shadows. Thank you for keeping it real Wayne!!

It really depends on what you are buying. MAC does have some fantastic products.
Janelle fairlamb I agree. In fact, I should have implied I just meant the foundations on myself. I love their eyeshadows, pigments, blushes, brushes etc.
I'm sure her intention is not to make you feel bad, her preference for products is her opinion - just as his are opinionated.
HI Wayne Can you please do a what's your opinion of a beginners makeup essential's!! I thinking a lot of people would enjoy this video. Like what would you suggest that beginners should have based on this video save/spend :)
Yes, please do! Dreaming of the day when I can splurge on your makeup brushes!

you are the most honest makeup artist ever on youtube. thank you so much for all your effort and honesty dedicated in this channel!!
I love how u included WOC! Foundations for women of color sometimes are too red & not the color in the bottle.

Adding this to my favs. You gave great advice and you included all skin tones. You rock! Merry Christmas :-)
Brilliant information, especially the lipstick that doubles as cream blush!
Love your personality and corkiness. You do not ramble like so many you tubers! Very informational. Thanks for the great video!
100% agree! I've been doing this for ages. Splurging on key items for colour pay off and saving on mascara etc. Provided that your mascara has a good brush, you'll get a good result.

Miss these type of videos from you; love your work, have been following you since 2011
Gosh I love this vid, it's so helpful, especially for us beginners. Thanks!
You are so well spoken and I really trust everything you say in your videos. Keep on doing what you're doing, you're helping so many people feel beautiful!

If you haven't used Makeup geek or Inglot, I really recommend them. So affordable and so pigmented and creamy.
+Ginette Hebert I'm a little bit addicted to eyeshadow palettes too, do you know the brand Zoeva? I have 2 palettes from Zoeva and I love them, great pigmentation and awesome colors and they cost around 20 bucks.
Thanks for the tip. I will try to order Zoeva on line.
Ginette Hebert what eyelash curlers do you recommend?
Possibly the most useful video a makeup gurucan make. Thank you!
I always use eyeshadow in my brows. Works great for me. I also use lipstick as a cream blush.
Totally agree; drugstore foundation just doesn't cut it for me. I have bought high end foundation for years and have found, like you say, it lasts for ages. Such a great video, great to hear that some cheaper products are worthwhile, I find some magazines tend to focus on brand name make-up which sucks when I'm a bit skint.

Adore your videos... I can't say I adore you because I don't know you... but if I did I probably would! Great vid!
Love you so much, you just give the best advice.
Great video. I WANT to spend more on mascara, as I am always on the hunt for the PERFECT one, but my eyelashes are very long naturally and I did feel I was just wasting money. Since saving up and upgrading my foundation and blush, I've noticed a massive difference.
Love you Wayne Goss. I really trust and appreciate your honest opinions.
that was very very honest...fantastic...thank you...
I love you honesty Wayne... :)
Great advice as always Wayne! I love to find ways to multi-task makeup. My newest is the Makeup Revolution Iconic Dreams palette. Matte YELLOW doubles as a redness correcting finishing powder, Matte BROWN works as a bronzer and 4 of the shimmer shades can be used as highlighters anywhere on the face. All their formulas are safe for sensitive skin, and their prices and quality can't be beat.
honestly my fave makeup personality to watch, straight to the point, very helpful and objective and wise :)
Thank you so very much for your honesty!
Thanks so much. You have saved me from spending a ton of money in Sephora.
I definetely agree with you. I spend more on my foundation (Lancome), bronzer (Estee Laudeer), basic lipsticks (YSL, Lancome) and mascara (because I love the brush!!). But other things, like eyeliners and eyeshadows, lipglosses, and even blushes, there are tons of good, cheap products !
You're humor on all your videos kills me! Too funny! Thanks for the tips, very practical and helpful :)
Love the Bristolian accent 😊
Everyone should watch this !!
I was always told the only thing I should splurge on is foundation. So good to hear I wasn't wasting money:)
Thanks Wayne! very helpful. I'm definitely no makeup snob (can't afford to be!) Australia has some amazing affordable 'drugstore' brands as well as the big American ones like Maybelline, L'Oreal, Covergirl etc. I own mostly drugstore makeup, but treat myself to high-end sometimes too. I only own 1 YSL lipstick and I treasure it (the gold packaging looks good on my dressing table too) :)
Concealer?? Hmmmm I'd say if you have bad skin or bad dark circles spend! Otherwise the fit me concealer and age rewind are super good.
Thank you!
QUESTION:
I'm also curious about if you would recommend spending the money on high end concealers. My under-eye dark circles are my main problem and I am on a SUPER tight budget and have never been able to really spend what I would like on makeup. But does high end really make a big difference with concealers? Any recommended brands?
You are my fav. Thank you so much. :)
i think he had mentionned in some video to use mac full coverage in ur undereye shade bcz u know the mac studio finish concealer is the same product as in the full coverage mac foundation but the foundation is without spf (which is better bcz i have the concealer and since it has spf it looks whitish with flash in pics ugh)so u get a concelar that will last u forever u r invisting in a good long term product while creamy concealers really finish soo fast and the mac studio finish will honestly last you a looot of time bcz u only use a tiiiny bit and its enough(its concentrated)
add me on facebook if u didnt get what i mean bcz i really dont think i explained well(fb: "scarlet hind" and IG its "confidentialscarlet")
Holly den Ouden Hi holly Ive had the same problem. I used to use the Maybelline conceler but it only made my face look ashy. What I recomend i to use mac pro long where conceler it is amaing and honestly it lasts up to 10 hours. but you have to prime your under eye before
Holly den Ouden I would suggest trying a corrector to cancel out the darkness then your foundation and you may not even need concealer.
This is really helpful. I'm in the process of putting together a makeup kit so it's really useful to hear a pro's opinion 👏🏻
100% agree with everything you said! I told lots of people my philosophy on what/when you should spend on makeup and it's true and I've known it ever since I started wearing makeup in my teens. Oh mascara!
Hi Wayne.. what do you think of makeup geek eyeshadows? Have u tried them out? Id really appreciate a review on these if u have. Thank you very much :)
What is your personal opinion on Too Faced makeup products? I noticed you haven't mentioned the company, and was just wondering if I'm wasting my money buying from Too Faced
I have the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette and honestly I've found it to be extremely average quality. It's such a raved about product (most likely due to packaging & the chocolate scent rather than the actual eyeshadows!) I wouldn't recommend.
+Angel Mills i'd recommend too face as a general brand if looking for a bronzer, or physicians formula
I LOVE too faced products! The eyeshadows are great pigmentation! And the melted lipsticks are great!
You are (seriously) THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!
You are so honest and I appreciate that.
Other youtubers always make us buy things we wouldn't even need :D
and you are just being honest!!! thank you so much for that!! :)
i will replay this video over and over again! lol
And I thought I am retarded thinking that "blush? why don't just use pink/coral/orange matte eyeshadows??" all this time! Thank you for this video, Wayne. I want to know your opinion for lip glosses and concealers. Should we spend or save? Oh, and Merry Christmas! :)
Wait I'm totally lost what is makeup today Paris? I've never heard of that brand would you please do a review on there makeup and how to purchase it ? Thank you!!!:)
Yeah I'm trying to find it but nothing is coming up and there isn't a link. Does anyone know what brand this actually is?
It is confusing and I really want to know what the company is. Maybe if we keep posting to this video he will give us the link :)♥
I've got a few items from Makeup Geek and they are beautiful, they're equal to MAC & Urban Decay I reckon, also great gel eyeliner & just came out with pigments not long ago which are gorgeous. Aroud easter I think she's coming out with blushes and I seen the prototype pictures on marlena's website. They are well worth the money and her website has a wealth of information and pictures you'll love them. I might look into the Atelier because he certainly has mentioned them a lot of times favourably. Hopefully they ship to Australia. Let me know what you get from MUG as I'm eventually want her whole collection of colours lol :)♥
I bought two of the rainbow pans in a purple and in brownish taupe colour but need to go back into inglot to check out their blush. They are lovely and I think great for the price but really do need to explore it more. I was surprised to learn we had a store close to me which is kind of exciting:)♥
I will check out the freedom system. Most of my purchases are from America because they are way cheaper than Astralian prices but yeah it is pretty good to be close to all these shops, but then there is never any quite time, it is always noisy lol
Best. Vid. Ever! Thank you for your expertise! Lipstick as cream blush and pencils from the same factories BLOWS MY MIND and makes me feel smarter than all the snobs.
As a makeup addict, I needed to hear this. Great information.
Like you said "At the end of the day no one cares what's on your face."
I love you
Don't agree with cheaper lipsticks. Crap staying power and who has the time to apply lipstick every ten minutes, not forgetting re-application uses product up very quickly, so buying more and spending more in the long run. Sorry Wayne! Yes deffo splurge on a good foundation though, true. Oh and Guerlain do the best bronzers out there too. You love Bobbi Brown !!!!!
I think he's saying it because he does know of good cheaper lipsticks, like if you watch his video on Maybelline products, you can see him talk about those there.
NYX has really good lipsticks that really do stay on :)
Illamasqua blusher! The best! Also Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation!
"keep the wand and dip it into the cheap one" hahaha i love how practical you are!
I can't use eyeshadow in my eyebrows because they're so sparse and missing :( excellent video! Xo
wet your brush a bit before you dip it into the eye shadow :)
what a brilliant idea, i can't believe I never thought of this! thankyou so much hun :)
anytime! glad I could help! :)
Wayne, you forgot highlighters.
Debbie George I suppose it’s the same rule as for eyeshadows, but eyeshadows can work well as highlighters too. Swatch first to see if it’s the right level of shimmer/glow.
Great advice. Only today I was thinking how high end foundation is sooo much better than the cheap ones. I will definitely stop saving on foundation! Anyway, nothing beats the feeling of luxury when you put a great foundation on in the morning. .. feel like you're reborn.
I hate to say this, I used to save on my mascara but since I switched to the more splurge brands the overall condition of my lashes has improved so much!
What did he say the for brand for foundation? Sorry, it's that I couldn't quite catch it with your accent...
In this video he mentions:
MAC full coverage foundation
RCMA foundation
Hourglass
Kett
Makeup Atelier Paris (he loves this one)
And he also has spoken a lot about Ellis Faas foundation in other videos :)
Cheers x
Is this video sped up..? You seem really sporadic and your voice seems higher, like when you fast-forward a video tape.
Love how you are so simple and down to earth! Always giving us top tips!
You are so right about mascara!! Spending $40 on mascara from Sephora, was the biggest mistake Ive ever made, only using it a dozen times or so. Ugh I love you too much! lol
Save our pennies so we can buy your brushes...Yea
sorry Loretta but i dont think mr Wayne would be as sadistic and hope that simple people like you and me would spend our last pennies on his brush kit
You dont have to buy anything or watch this video. I don't think he meant any of that in the context in which you are taking it? I think this was great advice, as he couldve plugged in a whole bunch of random companies, and try to make a buck, and he didnt.
I think he was giving us great advice!..I would like to save my pennies or dollars and buy his brushes..I bet they are wonderful!! I think you took me wrong..no harm was meant..I love Mr Wayne's video;s,,
MrsLoretta Hey Mrs.Loretta! My apologies, I may have taken your comment out of context my self! Thanks for clearing that up! :) I love Wayne too! He is one of the very few MUA out there that actually tells it how it is!
Omg I totally read your comment as: shave our penises.
I don't use eyeshadow and bronzer, but as for the other products I totally agree! A good foundation is the key. I used to wear only drugstore products until I discovered Estee Lauder foundation. What a change for my oily skin!
Thanks Wayne! You made me feel good. I never use eyebrow pencils but a Revlon eyeshadow with a stencil. My friends think I'm crazy but it works for me. Perfect matching brows the same size!
Such a valuable advice. Definitely spend on foundations and powders and save on lipstick, blusher and liners. Thanks Wayne!
I thought my mom was crazy telling me when I was little to use lipstick for blush.. Wow who knew?? lol I also use eyeshadow for filling in my brows. But I did not know about the rest. Great info Wayne. Thanks hun
Omg you're the best. I totally agree with all that. You are officially my fave makeup artist. So real and knowledgeable, and willing to share all your secrets. Thank you!
Thanks again for the excellent advice. For the person who mentioned brushes. ..WRONG! !! Good tools are your best friend. Wayne's line of brushes surpasses anything out there for quality and versatility. Definitely a SPEND! Love ya Wayne! Have a great holiday.
In terms of mascara, Miss Sporty do some great ones and they're so cheap! I currently use Lash Millionaire Fake Mascara and it's really quite amazing for just £3! The brush doesn't even need wiping off yet it gives me such thick black lashes, and creates quite a dramatic look once layered up. I'd recommend trying this or one of their other ones if you're not into spending tonnes on mascara - even if you're not that keen you've only wasted a couple of quid :)
LOVED your suggestion to warm hard eyeliners with a lighter! Tried it and it worked great on some cheap liners that I had! Thanks Wayne!!!!
Loooove. Totally needed this video being relatively new jumping headfirst into "big girl" makeup. Would love more videos with tips like these. (Love knowing that pencils are mostly made by the same manufacturers!)
You have just saved me a lot of time! I've been wanting to increase my make-up stash, but didn't know in which to spend more. Very VERY helpful video, (most of yours are) Thank you so much Goss, you are so great!
I love how genuine you are!
Thank you for great tips
Thank You Wayne for confirming that I am spending just the way I need to. XOXO!!!!
I never really put much into makeup or maybe I should say myself...I was streaming video's and just so happened I stopped on one of your's. You made me laugh your personality it corky and free spirited. You have a love of being a makeup artiest, but a heart for inner beauty...I just love your inner self. went and got some makeup and started playing dress up...boy did I walk around looking like a smoky eyed raccoon... lol Thanks for keeping a healthy balance for all us nerds...
Love your comment Ruby. How very true :)♥
I agree with all of your advice here but absolutely LOVE Benefit's They're real mascara. It is $23 in the US. I bought some for a friend last week and she loves it!
Wayne I have always been brand loyal I just love my Estée Lauder ! I have so much I hate to say but I love it !
