Man I wish we had easy access to Em Cosmetics in Europe, as that eyeshadow is stunning! My faves are the Hourglass ones, but the Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in Metallic Taupe is a more wearable day to day version. I dab it on my lid with my finger, either on its own or on top of another eyeshadow and it stays put all day and is just so beautiful, impactful yet not too in your face. Have a lovely day

[@melindamey5231]

Same re: Em cosmetics in Australia. I went to order and just delivery was $40 😱

[@emilys1045]

Same for Canada! Did one purchase for two serum blushes, the currency exchange! Shipping! Duty! Never Again! I keep saying come to Sephora🥺

[@LadyAhro]

Even in the UK it's just not affordable, especially because their lost item policy is basically 'lol sucks to be you'

[@LittleMakeupBird]

@@emilys1045 yes that would be the dream!

[@kimzeyite5564]

I paid 60 Euros for shipping and taxes etc. Now they don‘t even ship to germany anymore 🙄

[@SH-wk6po]

For anyone who may still be interested in the colors of the *UD Moondust shadows* (Solstice is just a classic), and perhaps even more interested when a 50% off sale pops up. I will say that I own both the OG version - like the packaging that Jamie is showing here - and the ones that came out earlier in the year in the 24/7 shadow packaging. I have a preference towards using my finger for toppers, but after experimenting with multiple ways of applying them (including over 20 different brands of eye brushes). This is one of the rare times that I have personally found the UD Moondust eyeshadow brush gives me a smoother, more intense application than when I use my finger. A silicone eye brush works ok too. I dislike having to buy dedicated brushes for products, so I refused to do so until the brush went on sale.

[@bums009]

I have the new formulation of space cowboy and never found myself having to use anything other than my fingertip to apply. Do the formulas differ a little between shades?

[@Yuweeeeei]

@@bums009 I have space cowboy too in the new version and also have no issue with using my fingers to apply! Was surprised to see Jamie not like them cause it’s an absolute fave for me and my go to topper atm

[@DiffectiveTear]

The new formulation is different. I have two different ones and the new one has so so so much less fallout.

[@SH-wk6po]

@@bums009 Just my personal opinion, I own about 7 of them and I find that there are difference between shades (from both the OG release and the new ones). A handful of them - like the shade Freak - is also slightly different in color now. Maybe because of sourcing ingredients and composition perhaps. I can't speak to Space Cowboy specifically as I don't own that particular one, but the ones I do have: Solstice, Lithium, Powder Trip etc, I have noticed a benefit when using the brush although it's not my preferred method.

[@loganmcniel7441]

The touch in sol metallist sparkling foiled pigments are so stunning! I love the shade honey brown the most.

[@stelaidrizi]

The brand is closing down if you need something get it now

[@890i098]

“Oh, are her lids…glowing?!…majestically?” Jamie, you make me laugh, so good😂👌🏻

[@JubileeChiu]

Yesss I clicked off another video the moment the notification came! I feel like 2021 is all about eye toppers. Excited for more in 2022 ✨

[@maitly4473]

You should check out Phytosurgence! They’re a Canadian makeup brand and their Flash Florescence In Bloom collection are sparkle toppers you might like. Their Spectral Shine highlighter is also a unique dry touch product for a nice glowy finish

[@mmt2667]

Loving the fall look you're serving - the hair, makeup and outfit are perfect! ETA: and nails!

[@sabina6844]

The Makeup by Mario one looks so nice! Looks like a dupe of the Fenty Diamond bomb which I use all the time as a topper

[@kadajra]

The first time you talked about the hourglass toppers I literally went into my sephora the next day and got 4 shades at once! Never looked back! I also love the topper shade in the pillow talk quad from Charlotte Tilbury, it never fails me.

[@andystpierre6086]

I must had received a bad one, because my pillow talk quad is horrible. The topper is so dry that I have to scrap a lot to get a tiny amount showing. :(

[@kadajra]

@@andystpierre6086 I’m so sorry, they’re too expensive for a person to be ok getting a bad batch. It’s true that it is a drier formula, but I definitely don’t have to scrape. So sorry yours was a bust

[@rayspace6362]

Really thought Auric would make top 5!

[@kathleenm.5086]

Your "mhmm" at the end of describing the Em Cosmetics shadow really made me lol when watching

[@JamiePaige]

hehe

[@mariannecampos8746]

I have been waiting for someone to talk about the Em cosmetics eyeshadows. This video was right up my alley! Such a great video!

[@jojobeth]

Love this! I have one from Natasha D that I like-the chrome crystal top coat in peach. It’s kind of a dry formula, which I actually like. It’s kind of subtle but effective and stays out.

[@bums009]

I love my urban decay moondust shadow in space cowboy (the new formulation I think). I bought it a few months ago cos it was highly recommended by Amanda Z and I always trust her eyeshadow recommendations. It's literally the perfect glitter topper for me, I adore it. Might be the best eyeshadow I own that is both impactful and versatile. I use my finger and delicately caress the shadow with my fingertip and pat it on to my lid, I've never even had to rub my finger in there and the impact is stunning. It goes with any eyeshadow formulation or colour out there as the glitter is silver and the base is like a translucent beige. Can't recommend it enough. Definitely have to check out the hourglass scattered lights when I have the cash tho 😆

[@kathrynrady8028]

This is the best hairstyle I’ve ever seen on you! GORGEOUS!

[@lindseytaber6246]

Your hair and everything is looking reeaaaallll cute, ms Paige. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@alexiswilson7661]

Been looking for something special to wear on my eyes for my wedding day, this was so helpful! Love your videos Jamie💛

[@MusicLove3007]

I have 2 of the Kaja trios and theyre my fav toppers alongside the Artist Couture ones. I always use the Too Faced glitter glue underneath and it works wonders. No fallouts and it makes them so much more intense!!

[@Rain_Reign]

I just commented that I do the same except with the NYX glitter glue 👍🏻♥️

[@firebird281990]

Love eye shadow toppers. My favs are from Stila for sure. Colour Pop has some awesome one's too.

[@biogirl1381]

i’m dyinggg to try the em cosmetics toppers. ❤️‍🔥

[@juliashu5393]

love!! yes!!! this video is: it. there's also lots of kbeauty glitters that are amazing like the romand glitter!!

[@mjmarisajanelle5833]

Love this video…The hourglass is definitely a fav. Also love the NARS and Marc jacobs toppers too!

[@lalamullen]

Ugh YES!! Love the Hourglass Scattered lights. Want all the colours 💕 thanks Jamie. Can we have a duochrome version video?! 😘

[@cflex7914]

Loved this so much!!! Eye toppers are my most favourite makeup products.

[@AudreyMichelle]

Love a good eye topper! The new Em Cosmetics eye toppers are just amazing. I picked up Luna but now I want to purchase more colors. 😍 Love a good top 5 bottom 5 too ❤

[@JamiePaige]

thanks audrey!

[@ct7531]

Auric smoke reflect is my fave!

[@Rain_Reign]

Re: Kaja Bento Boxes, I have really good luck getting these to not result in a ton of fallout if I apply the NYX glitter glue first. And then I just tap it on top with a finger. I then gently run a brush over it to flick off any loose shadow, while holding a piece of tissue over my undereye/cheek to keep any from falling on my face. That all sounds like a lot of work but the effect is so pretty that I don’t mind 😅☺️

[@jailenebaez]

Eye toppers are the 😌👌 of an eye shadow look. I love the texture of a creamy eye topper product!

[@amberxhughes]

I've been eyeing the MAC Dazzleshadow in Discotheque. If I weren't swimming in silver eyeshadow, I would totally pick it up!

[@kayseeh7156]

Try the newly reformatted UD moon dust shadows, they’re so good!! 💗

[@arielfeasts]

wow your hair looks so pretty!

[@jenniferdeneff5596]

Can’t wait to pick up the Hourglass and Em Cosmetics toppers; they look stunning!! What lipstick are u wearing?? It’s such a gorgeous color on u!

[@tattooed1976]

Could you do a top 5 love/hate Urban Decay products? Always enjoy your vids! 😘🌹

[@lauraochoa228]

I'm old school. L'Oreal Amber Rush never fails to look stunning. Every single time.

[@BekaJadexoxo]

This just reminded me that I have the Urban Decay Heavy Metal liner and I haven't used it yet, I have had it for months. I use eye toppers almost every time I do makeup, the Hourglass Scattered Lights are probably my all time favourites (I have like every product mentioned in your 5 best except the Em Cosmetics and the MAC Dazzleshadows) I also use the sparkle shades out of the Pat McGrath palettes even when I am not even using the palette.

[@heatherlanger250]

I wanna get my hands on the Em cosmetics topper, it was so pretty!

[@uhoh5184]

This was limited edition a while back but Mac Stylishly Merry is so beautiful!! It's duochrome gold to pink and very sparkly 🤩 I also really like the Oden's eye "Älva" palette because the shimmer shades make beautiful toppers, they are veryyy intense though

[@gabyvalleaubry8907]

omg you read my mindddd I was looking all over youtube for this yesterday. loveee this for me thank you

[@JamiePaige]

i gotchuuuuu

[@kcrum7438]

idk if they reformulated it or not but the moondust in the new packaging i think is so goood. on Amanda Z's recommendation i picked up space cowboy and it is very quickly becoming a ride or die

[@holly_cuperus]

Your hair looks amazing!

[@kathleenklimek2965]

I picked up The Balm Sparkling Lid-Quid in Rose. I just bought it in a whim but I’m quite impressed with it.

[@lucymoon2578]

Your look in this video is everything 😍😍

[@lorenasimon7489]

Besides the Hourglass one, I love another one from Channel called New Moon. It's gorgeous!

[@EnchantingRain]

I was in the market for new toppers and this video is going to be my shopping guide lol. Thanks Jamie

[@Alissaxboyle]

I’d love to see your thoughts of the bodyography eye toppers!

[@superjules21]

Surprised you didn't talk about Auric

[@danalichvar3460]

I remember I got the UD glitter eyeliner in 8th grade - one of my first makeup purchases! It was a blue shade. I wore it to a school dance and some older boy made a comment "whats on your face???"... I was MORTIFIED lol. Anyways you brought back some cringe memories and now I am 30 and you got me itching to buy that again cause it's still fabulous

[@katemellifont4078]

I would love you to try this series but focussing on drugstore or affordable brands

[@jaceegreaser1722]

We need makeup deets! Your base looks amazing

[@ChoOpiie]

I'm forever looking for a dupe, single eyeshadow topper, of "Just a kiss" from the Dose of Colors Desi x Katy "Friendcation" palette. I swear I've never loved an eyeshadow more than this one, it's so perfeeeeeeeeect

[@NasiaGeorgakopoulou]

Amazing video i love these series!Kisses from Greece

[@makayla8693]

Hey Nasia

[@angelabraunsdorf3087]

Colourpop supershocks! I Stan ❤

[@OMGitsME31608]

The KVD dazzle stick in electro bolt is my absolute favorite topper

[@gbtink]

My fave eye topper is Chanel New Moon. I have yet to try the hourglass ones😱 so they’re next on my list. Dang those look beautiful.

[@heleneh.6055]

My favorites are the Hourglass Scattered Lights. I have about 4 or 5 shades and love them all. BTW, I bought them because of your recommendation! My least favorite is the Natasha Denona duo chrome topcoat, which hit hard pan almost immediately. When I do manage to get a little bit out, it does almost nothing, which is a shame as I love almost everything else from this brand.

[@fattypurplecat]

jamieeeee pleeeease do a kbeauty test because i need to know how you think they compare to popular western beauty brands!! some of my fav products: innisfree micro browcara, etude house lip tints, etude house and aritaum single eyeshadows, bbia eyeliners, romand lip tints, the saem concealer etc

[@LeeLeeJames1111]

Auric and the original roen toppers are my go tos

[@sindrealight5182]

I'm kind of surprised about the UD Moondust! I have space cowboy and it's one of my absolute favorite toppers (it's fairly similar to colourpop ritz, except with a slightly lighter peachier base). It's just so sparkly and wet and beautiful and for me, it's very easy to apply with just a finger and stays up fairly well throughout the day even without a glitter glue/primer (I have oily eyelids but hate using primer... so this was actually quite the surprise). I have the old formula, for reference, and it's around 2-3 years old at this point.

[@makayla8693]

Hi Sindrealight

[@pro6703]

Hi Jamie! Thanks for your video! ❤️ I’m wondering how the Lise Watier Metamorphix would work on shadows to make them stay on better, as a topper. Metamorphix is the product that LW says turns every eyeshadow into an eyeliner.

[@hallucinangel]

Can you do a video on best liquid eyeliners (drugstore and highend) Thank you. ❤🥰

[@labrugeoise7768]

Jamie! What lipstick are you wearing??? It looks so nice!

[@lisahart1267]

Have you tried the KVD Glimmer sticks!!? Oof! So good and you can go light or pack it on for a beautiful glow and the don’t drop glitter throughout the day! Also the Danessa Myricks liquid multichromes are fabulous!! Plain on the lid they are beautiful and almost ethereal, especially the lighter colors or put over shadow and bam 💥!!

[@JamiePaige]

no i havent!! thanks for the recs!!

[@Rain_Reign]

Oh yeaaaah those are both nice!!!

[@Lilonika_]

stila liquid shadows are my favorite 😍

[@monicadrew889]

I know this video is older but I’m interested in hourglass topper and watched. I had the same issue with kaja and UD shadows you had.

[@karensuarez6647]

About UD Mondust eye shadows the shade that works beautifully for me is Solstice

[@andystpierre6086]

M’y favorite glitters were the Too Faced ones. They were so much better than the UD heavy metals. I had a pale pink one that I used to wear everyday, I was so sad when they discontinued them. I really like the Lise Watier ones as well, as they were my first glitter eyeliners, they have a sentimental value!!! I’m not crazy about UD shade selection :/ I really enjoy the Hourglass scattered lights, I only have 2 shades but I adore them. I really like the Lise Watier Ombre soufflé but I forgot to close the lid once and the product dried up 😔 but it was so moussy I really liked it.

[@jeng9364]

What eyeshadow and nail polish are you wearing in the vid? Looks great (as always).

[@myfairladybug621]

Have you tried the Jones Road Just a Sec eye shadow? I am curious how it performs. Thanks for this video! It was very informative.

[@TheLexiJess]

Oohh I kind of expected you to mention Auric?!

[@oceanbird.]

Wow interesting about the urban decay moondust formula! I wonder if it's different in Canada vs the US? The packaging is different in the US anyway. I actually love moondust! It's my favorite because it doesn't have a lot of color, and it gives a very sheer spread out twinkle effect in the glitter. I was actually looking for something exactly like it for a while and it's the best I've found for when I don't want a more opaque topper. I'll have to check out the liquid version too... It looks gorgeous!

[@allyjayemorgan]

Ayyyy I was there in the live!! I said cream shadows but this is close 😈 Love these 5 B/5 W videos! edit: ummmm yes to that MAC green shadow?? film with this asap?!

[@misadventuresofem]

Em Cosmetics: I'm struggling w/ finding an application method that doesn't leave me with creases within 4 hrs. Tried the PatMgrath pen/topper base today and my Em Cosmetics topper still creased. Creased w/ UD primmer potion, creased with no primmer. Anyone have any pro tips? I want to love these so bad.

[@nicolecastaneda5185]

Jaime! What about the Roen ones?

[@alettaa]

I'm gonna be honest I could get rid of any of my makeup as long as I can keep my Hourglass Scattered Lights. It can be sheared out so well, but also pop it, doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes, doesn't fall or crease (and I have super oily lids).

Surprised not to see the topper-shades from the Auric Smoke Reflects included here - although perhaps the fact they aren't a stand-alone product is why?

[@thelovelymisshill]

If anyone wants super-spangly-shiny-pretty toppers/shadows on a budget... Essence Melted Chrome single shadows are BEAUTIFUL. £3 each - a mad bargain. I bought one out of curiosity as I liked the colour and was absolutely blown away by how gorgeous it is on the eye. I went back the next day and bought every colour they had. I have got so many compliments and questions from people whilst wearing them. Even my make-up-dunce fella told me 'your eye thingy is really cool' 😂
