I still go back to Mel's videos and am so thankful Puffin kept it up. She always had the best recommendations and I love everything I've tried from her. I know you are the most beautiful angel that will always be looking down on us. You are such an inspiration Mel and will ALWAYS be in my heart. I can't wait to do makeup with you in Heaven one day, that would be the ultimate honor just to be in your presence. You are a beautiful person inside and out. Love you 💔

This is awesome! I love seeing the high-end version of the tag! 🙌🥰

I would love to see your favorite from each brand. Palettes that would be interesting. Have a blessed day XOXOXOXOXO

Your videos are quickly becoming my favorites. My anxiety-ridden, ADHD, overwhelmed brain loves the fact that there’s not a whole lot of distracting background noise and visual effects. Thank you for that. Truly. 💕

MAC was everything in the 90s. I still have a foundation pan from their Professional line. It was a thick pan makeup with such high coverage, for the first time we stage actors could ditch like Ben Nye and clown makeup brands. They made the first truly high pigment lipsticks and shadows, again out with clown makeup brands that stained and irritated eyes. MAC deserves so much credit and I hope they update themselves.

I would certainly agree with Charlotte Tilbury!! She has a whole line of AMAZING products...from primer to eyeshadow!!

YEEESSSS! Please do the favorite palette from each brand! I would love to see that! Love ya, Mel!

I can't believe that this beautiful honest lady is with us no more. So sad 😭😭 what an amazing woman. Sometimes life just isn't fair

Even when I was a starving student, I'd save up to buy lancome foundation and I used it every day. Everything else could come from the drugstore (especially mascara) but my skin had to look good!

I definitely think you should do the best palettes from each brand! Thank you for doing these types of videos!

Yes, please do a video of your favorite palette for each brand. Gorgeous eye look today Mel!

I totally agree that the Natasha Denona I need a nude lipsticks are so underrated. The formula is so good, the packaging too. I wish she’d come out with more, like a I need a red line with like all different undertones and stuff of red

I love this kind of video 🤩 Thanks Mel! I am belgian and I speak actually French but I watch your videos to improve my English 😅

Agree with you on Mac. They had the best lipstick range of colors and textures 10 years ago and still do!

So excited that you filmed this!! ❤️

I'm loving the diverse eye looks you're creating with DVR2 palette! Really giving us great ideas, thank you so much Mel! 🤗

Look at you Mel - from being bored of Viseart to crowning them top place for palette! And yes definitely the video on top palette from each brand. Invaluable! X

The actual shades in the palette in the hourglass promo pic totallyyyyy look darker than they actually are imo too. 😔 Like totally no question.

Love to see your favorite from every brand. Also I am color of paper and when someone says this pallet is great because it has such pigment, I'm like that's a pass it would take so long to blend out. But the opposite happens when they are like it's good just need to build up color I get all excited because it will be good for me.

Im so in love with the new viseart violette palette and the minxette. An yes please do favorite palette from every brand!!

Yes would love to see your favourite palettes from all brands and also limited edition makeup u would like to come back 💕

I love your reviews! RIP Mel! I miss you so much ❤

Mel x mac Collab please... maybe one with a lot of the now beauty gurus who've worked there

Of course yes to the best palette of each brand, always a pleasure to listen to your opinions 😘😘😘

All I had back in the day was MAC. I still have 6-7 brushes that are over 15 years old now. I still love the studio fix fluid foundation, fix plus, and most recently the glow play. But I think they need to do some type of change, just not sure what.

It's my favorite time of day when I see a video from MEL!

Totally would love to see favorites from different brands!

I knew you were gonna go with CT! I would have to say the same thing

When I first started watching KZfaq tutorials I heard about MAC I went in I buy brushes, I had two at the time. I asked for help and was told my blending is fine, and was then pretty much dismissed. I went in excited and wanting to buy brushes and maybe makeup and walked out embarrassed. I just haven't felt like going back in. I know not every store will be that way, but it doesn't change my feelings.

I remember being one of those "if you aren't wearing MAC" girls LOL Love you xoxo

Rewatching and commenting to keep this channel going. Miss you Mel! I’m taking violette as my only palette for my trip to Europe.

I’ve been using NULash for 3 months by now and I starting to see that my lashes are growing. Thanks Mel.💕

I still love watching Mel. I can binge watch her. Love u so much Angel!!!! ❤

I wish they would bring back the Charlotte Tilbury Fire Rose palette. I want it so badly! A few years ago I bought the Green quad from her and I was so disappointed. I didnt like the formula. You have convinced me to try her more recent products.

Yes, please do your favorite from each brand!! Great job on this one!!

I love MAC and always will. Collections aside, their products are really good. And yes, they’ve always had an amazing, super-inclusive foundation range, long before many brands even thought about putting foundation shades darker than tan.

Loved the hourglass rant!😁 yes on fav palette by brand video!

I was so glad to hear how much you love the Estée Lauder Futurist foundation. I use Estée Lauder skincare, and have for years, and so has my 87 year old mom. I’ve used Double Wear, Perfectionist and Re-Nutriv, and I love how their shades match perfectly with my skin tone. I really loved the Re-Nutriv, which is their most expensive but also has the Re-Nutriv skincare that I use, but I heard that they reformulated it, and the coverage isn’t as good. So I’m thinking about trying the Futurist. Thanks for sharing the brand information with us, it’s so helpful with so many out there!

The viseart palette has such cute packaging. Miss you, Mel 💕

I REALLY want to see the favorite palette from each brand. That would be so amazing!!

Good morning lady! Charlotte Tilbury! My favorite!!!! Yes yes yes!! Her formulas are incredible!

Yes!!! Favorite palette from each brand!

Mel totally agree with your favs, Charlotte Tilbury, but no on the setting powder, yes on the foundations lipsticks and setting spray etc. Love your honesty⭐ I am into purples on my dark brown eyes.

I bought the MAC skin refined zone because of you and it became an instant holy grail / daily user product for me. It is amazing on my combo skin with pores/oil around my nose. I’ll never stop buying it now.

Hi Mel, thank you for the great video! Could you make one which explains how you go about matching lipstick colours to eye looks?

You are missed, Mel, your in depth reviews and your opinions are missed ❣️

Mel! You may not see this,but I wanted to write you just in case. I live in Franklin, TN. I was at Greenhills Mall today and thought of you several times. First of course when I was in the Louis Vuitton Store.😊I then went to Nordstorm. I was so shocked to see that it looks like they are phasing out the MAC department!! Worse than that Hourglass was taking up at least half of the space. I have loved MAC since the 90's. I bought the oil refine product on your recommendation over a year ago. My esthetician can't believe the difference when I get my monthly hydro facials. No blackheads. I also started using the Neulash and Neubrow serum about 8 months ago. I have had NO brows for 40 years. They are growing in bushy and I actually need to trim them now and use your favorite brow gel. My lashes are thick and long. I too get asked about my mascara or if I have extensions. Thank you for all your hard work on your videos and content. I'm trying to find a color that I can use in the Estee Lauder Futurist, but I'm having a hard time. They don't make the shade I used in Double wear. Thanks again.

Also, yes, I would love to see a video of your favorite palettes from each brand!

I purchased the Mac prep + prime skin refined zone treatment because of you Mel. It comes in handy on my T zone in the summertime. I watch my son play baseball and this product helps my makeup stay in place in 90+ degrees weather.

I have been loving purple eyeshadow looks as well, my favorites have been from the fade into hue palette and the BPerfect palette from Stacey Marie!

I would love to see the fav palette from each brand video! Yes please! 💟

Haha, I knew it would be that Tarte palette! They need to go ahead and bring it back permanently lol! Please do the favorite palette from each brand!!

Yes!!! We would like to see that video-Best palette from each brand:))) Yes!!!! Jenxoxox!

Mel you are such a pro. Thanks for sharing your expertise with your subscribers. I just wanted to comment that I have noticed the improvement in your video quality. Your lighting and audio is ideal and makes your videos next level. Also wanted to mention that you are a great dresser and it is fun to see what you are wearing each time. Even your most casual t-shirts and sweatshirts are designer pieces. Quick question for you: I bought the Milk Boss liner and while I love it, I find it to be very difficult to remove - there are still black smudges that appear on my face the next day. Do you have a good technique for removing the eyeliner at the end of the day? Thank you, Sarah

I would totally love to see your favorite palettes from each brand.

OBSESSED with Fenty powder foundation, I can’t put it down! It’s hands down the best for those quick makeup days. It’s effortless

Visiart is great too. I need to try Charlotte Tilsbury

Yassss please!!! Favorite palette from brands! Including indie!

I KNEW you would pick Charlotte! The products are just so lovely and honestly I want someone to talk about me as lovingly as you talk about her shadows ha!

Years ago I purchased a Chanel powdered blush. The color was simply red. For some reason it was impossible to pick up the tint with my brushe. When I brought it back to Norman Marcus the woman at the counter said that some blushes were like that and I had to scrape it to bring up the color. She should have exchanged it. I didn’t buy Chanel again for the longest time (years actually). Since then, I’m happy to say that it never happened again. I don’t use Chanel exclusively anymore. Mostly, it’s Lancome, Chanel, Tom Ford, Charlotte Tilbury, and Clarins for skin care.

i’m so happy that you made this video. i saw kelly’s last week and i was hoping that you would also make this video. i’m still giggling at the tarte palette. i 100% agree with your feelings for hourglass. i don’t understand how they do not realize how wrong they are for their actions aka non-actions. i don’t see the link for the discount code for the lash serum that you use in the description box.

I absolutely love the Estée Lauder futurist. I am on my 4th one because of your initial recommendation! I also love the Aspyn Ovard palette. I should have gotten a back up! And CT is def my favorite luxury brand.

This is a great tag. Loved hearing your thoughts 🤗 Chanel has also increased their prices twice during the pandemic 🙄😏

Ooo the jumping video is making me dizzy! 😂😂😂😂. Another great one Mel!!

The video quality is amazing!!! You look flawless Mel💖💖💖

Yes, please do a video of your favorite from each brand

Yes pls, favourite palette from each brand would be an awesome, thanks.

Yes!!!! That MAC primer is amazing.

Yessss! I’m going to use the hourglass I have but I will never spend another cent. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but not no more. That was the final straw.

Absolutely show your favorite palette from each brand!

I worked for Chanel for over 10 years and have a “collection” of products and the formulas have definitely changed. For example the new Soleil Tan de Chanel is a completely different formula and not a better one. The concealer is a little dryer formula also and the ingredients are different. I think the line changed and not for better when Peter Phillips left and went to Dior. He is an AMAZING creative director/Artist. The Dior Forever concealer formula is amazing and so is the new eyeshadow formula. P.S. You just made me buy the Viseart palette. 🤣

This is such a great video! It's because of you that my husband surprised me with the Aspyn Ovard palette. He even paid double on ebay for it. I need to pull it back out and start using it again. So subtle, great for a quick eye look. MAC used to be my go to makeup brand, but since I only use cruelty free now, they are no longer an option. This was so much fun. Definitely do your favorite palette from each brand. Love you! ❤❤💖💖

Please do best pallet from each brand. I love purples. So happy I got the violette pallet and the Nude pop because of you. I really respect your opinion and love the distract from the crazy times we are living in. Happy New Year🎊, Beauty!!!

OMG you look STUNNING! So Angelical! I absolutely love your eye look

YES, please. The best of each palette would be awesome!!

I knew Knew KNEW the Violette palette would win!!!!! Wish I could afford one !!! Luv ya Mel!!!

Hi Mel. I’m really glad to hear someone talk about Mac being so inclusive. Toronto where Mac is from is the most culturally diverse city in the world and regardless of if MAC is presently in vogue or no I do think that they were trailblazers in a lot of ways back in the day- It would be great for them to do all of the things that more fairly represent the quality and diversity that the brand offers-I got off the train with everyone else but it doesn’t have anything to do with the quality-probably at the same time we changed over from singles to palettes. Ps those ND Nudes are just the very best

Would love to see your favourite eyeshadow palette from each brand!

Totally agree with you about the ND I need a nude! I love mine and use them all the time together with Lisa Eldridge's line. By the way, your eye look is stunning! 😍

I think Mac is inclusive with foundations and stuff but in their limited edition collections I wish they had more inclusivity - just like mostly when they release bronzers in those collections they are always so light!! I love the limited edition packaging but it’s hard to buy products like that with the nice packaging!

I completely agree with your Chanel products review. There was a time when I wouldn’t pass up a collection, but it has been YEARs that I buy anything Chanel.They are stuck, not exciting at all! ( But I must say , that when decluttering lipsticks, theirs last the longest).

Your speech about HG!!!👏👏👏❤️

I appreciate the honesty, Mel.

I love that you said the only review that matters is your own! That’s so true! There are channels that I like that I know we have different opinions on products and that’s okay

I so agree with you that the ultimate review of a product that I use is me! Nobody needs to get in their feelings because their favorite KZfaqr had a different experience with a beloved product.

I loved this! You are one of the luxury queens!

I thought for sure you would say your face product under $50 was the Becca Anti-fatigue Under Eye Primer! 😁 You turned me on to it and I can't stop using it. It makes SUCH a difference! Fun video. Thank you!

Yes please 🙏 your favorite palette on each of your favorite brands ❤ You look stunning as always 😍

Hi Mel. 🥰 Could you perhaps make a video where you show HOW you use the mattifying T zone-thingy from MAC? 🥰 Much love from Denmark, Scandinavia ❤️

I agree - CT a is my pick for fave luxury brand.

Girlllllll, you have gotten me into Tao Hawk jewelry!!! Scared to mention this so everything doesn't get sold out!!! Lol

Please definitely do a “favorites from each brand” video!!!!

I have to agree with regarding the mac refined primer. It’s small but amazing and you only need a little

Oooh! Spill the tea, girl!

Hi Mel,would love to see a project pan video and what you plan to use more of. I did one last year and found it great to use the products I already have. 😁👍👍

I need to give those Natasha Denona lipsticks another try. I purchased two, and they both had a really unflattering grayish undertone! Wish I could swatch a couple different colors, because I did love the formula.

I would love to see your best and worst from each palette 🎨.

Darn, I guessed Tom Ford cocoa mirage for your favorite limited edition palette!

I completely agree about Mac being underrated. I use so many of their products, they’re staples in my routine that I use everyday and the quality is outstanding. If they discontinue skin refined zone I’ll be devastated. I agree with everything you said about it. I feel like I need to order some backups just in case they discontinue it. I also feel like Mac has been inclusive with their shade ranges for years, way before Fenty. I hope people give Mac more credit and I’m praying they can make a comeback because they’re one of my favorite brands. I wonder if you got a bad Le Volume de Chanel because mine doesn’t clump on me at all. I went through a whole tube of it and opened a new one last week and both are great.

Oh my God, you have just talked about 3 of your favourite products which are also the ones I'm soooo looking forward to buy :-) ND nude lipsticks, Viseart palette and Fenty powder foundation. Now I will have to buy them!!!
