This happened to me with that L’Oréal Glotion liquid highlighter stuff. I’ve had it for so long not knowing what the heck to do with it. At first I rubbed it all over my face under my foundation, and it exaggerated all my wrinkles and pores SO BAD! So I never picked it up again. Then I watched a video on KZfaq of someone mixing their liquid highlighter with their liquid blush, to make a Charlotte Tilbury dupe. I tried doing that with my Glotion, and it worked! I also learned to just very lightly dab it on the tops of my cheekbones. So now I’m reaching for it every time I put on makeup. If you have some, go ahead and mix that with the Milani liquid cheek kiss berry colored blush, and it works just like Tilbury’s glow wands!

I find the foundation with a dropper so messy. I got the loreal one and it aggravated me so much every time I used it until I realised I had a pump I bought once (I think it was to fit a nars foundation or maybe a Mac one? I can't remember) and it fits right on and it's such a pleasure to use now 😅 I mean the dropper is cool I guess just too messy for me

Jess!! The Ilia serum is my holy grail. I have dry, often flakey, skin and this does not accentuate it. I use my hands to apply almost like skincare and really rub it into my skin. If you do it this way it works like Mac face and body where it will start to set and become tacky. It gives my skin the most glowy, healthy, radiant finish. Will never go without this.

I hate to have to throw away products, especially expensive foundations but most times I am able to make them work by mixing them with other foundations. I also didn’t like at all the elf cc cream (and couldn’t understand the hype and everybody saying it is a dupe for the it cosmetics cc cream) but I started to add a little bit to the tinted moisturizer from Coloupop to increase the coverage and it is a very nice base.

I’m glad you realized how to use the dropper! It can be frustrating as a viewer. I just wanna reach through the screen and help ya out! 😂😂 also, I think the Ilia skin tint is a good shade for you…sometimes it seems as if you go for too dark of a shade and think it’s your shade. I’ve realized for myself too, because I’m similarly pale but have a darker/pink chest, lighter foundations can look good because you bring back the color with bronzer and blush.

I really wanted to love it because the flawless foundation of ELF I used to love. And the double wear Estee Lauder is the winner for me as well, it is so pretty and doesnt look cakey at all. It looks so good all day, even when your oils are coming through.

EDWW is my holy grail! It really lasts in the ot Louisiana summers. I agree with you, I don’t think it’s full coverage. I use a damp sponge because I think that makes for the prettiest finish, which also gives it a more medium coverage. Using a brush will make it more full but it starts getting cakey. I do love that EDWW.

I wish more beauty KZfaqrs would do these types of videos. And I really wish the Tic Tok beauty community would too! I think so many products go "viral" on Tic Tok because they really only do first impressions on things and claim they love it. But I know I wear my makeup a minimum of a few hours and max maybe 14-15 hrs, and I know there's going to be a lot of differences on how products wear. Mascaras especially! Of course they won't smudge right away, I need the wear test to really know whether to buy or not and even then I'll still probably get the waterproof version (double cleanse with an oil cleanser first and it's as easy as regular & it usually holds a curl better).

One item I could not get behind for a while was the nars creamy concealer - the really popular one. I have bad under eye circles and I tried it once in the stores quickly - felt like it covered nothing and wrote it off. When I would go back in to sephora year after year and ask for concealer recs the sales team would recommend it and I would always ignore it and ask for a different rec. Well last year I went again and asked for a rec and they again told me nars creamy concealer. I finally gave in and retried it expecting to hate it again but now I use it daily 🤦🏽‍♀️ I still have to stack it with other concealers cus alone it doesn’t completely do the job but its pretty darn good - cant believe I was so stubborn about it
