MAKEUP CULT CLASSICS: Which are *actually* worthy?

[@laurendempers1315]

Yes to a part 2 on this! Some ideas would be NARS orgasm, ABH brow, Tarte shape tape, Bobbi Brown color corrector, Laura Mercier caviar sticks and translucent powder, MAC paint pots, NARS sheer glow or tinted moisturizer. For that matter I would love to see videos on many of these more classic brands especially Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier, Clinique, MAC, Bare Minerals as well as other department store (not Sephora) brands!

[@SourEggz]

Clinique’s Black Honey was formulated with the perfect blend of red, blue and yellow pigments. Revlon’s Rum Raisin is a very similar to Black Honey - but on its own - it is a staple and classic shade. Revlon has Fire & Ice or Black Cherry, too.

[@1015SaturdayNight]

If Clinique wants a hit, they will do Black Honey in a gloss balm. Even the Covergirl dupe is more hydrating and comfortable than the Clinique one

[@tammygarrett9261]

Thanks, I'll pick it up and try it.

[@tacocatseven]

It’s been popular for like 5 decades now, it already is a hit 😅

[@MenchieExtrakt]

Yesss I adore the color but I can only use it alone when it’s really humid. Like above 85%. Otherwise I have to pair it with lip balm

[@purplew93]

I own both and wear the Covergirl one more!! Bought it for my mom who’s a Clinique fanatic and now it never leaves her purse

[@marion8354]

It comes in a gloss

[@Sara-hhhh]

If you were watching KZbin in 2009 through 2012 that Chanel bronzer was in every damn video

[@chelseaperez49]

For real!!

[@midlifemom5829]

Yes plz take me back to all the cult classics! I dont want to be influenced into buying any more "new " products!

[@zahraonokevbagbe2725]

Estée Lauder double wear never disappoints! It was also my wedding foundation and their shade range is amazing. The only foundation that *might* overtake it is the haus labs triclone BUT I still go to my double wear if I need my makeup to look fab an entire day.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Guerlain Terracotta bronze and Les Meteorites have been around forever. They were the first bronzer and highlighter I saw on the makeup counter. Thank you this was fascinating ❤

[@daniellekennedy8118]

IMHO, Guerlain's Terracotta still makes the best bronzer for fair, rosy complexions that never pulls orange and looks very natural. Very few other bronzers at any price point can say the same. And I still love the Meteorites for a very subtle highlight -- along with the Cle de Peau highlighter bricks. They have a shade variation for every skin tone, and it is also very subtle yet very flattering and forgiving on older skin. I think that one also has been around since the 1970s are well.

[@branwynnemay]

Amanda, I am a huge fan of your work, and this might be my favorite video. Makeup history, product review and your insight? Phenomenal combo!

[@AmandaZ]

Aw thank you so so much!!! I really appreciate the positive feedback

[@anadelwrites2144]

I had the black honey in the pot before they discontinued it in the 90s and it was even better than the stick. It also came with the teeniest and cutest lip brush ever! I never use the brush, but I still have it as it’s so cute. I think the Chanel bronzer only deserves its status because it launched so many others to create similar products, but I think the Nars is way better for staying power and shade range and on my skin most products stay really well. I’d love a part 2 and a drugstore version.

[@selliott89]

Love this! Would love to hear more about Chanel Boy, It CC cream, and some drugstore stuff too like the L’Oréal mascaras or Maybelline great lash

[@Bunnychowchow]

Yes!!

[@yassercastillo2607]

The bare minerals veil, coti airspun 😂, revlon lipsticks?, the maybeline mascara 😂, mac products for sure. The laura mercier powder...

[@miriamheart]

Estée Lauder is that girl. Plus it has an amazing shade range

[@karenc8333]

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks; Guerlain bronzer; Clarins Lip Tints + Double Serum; Mac Strobe cream etc..etc... as well as all the classics already suggested below....think you'll have your work cut out Amanda! Look forward to more videos in this series 😍

[@xXPirate-KittyXx]

Would defo love to hear more about cult classic products. I feel like it's a very untapped market on beauty spaces(besides magazines of course). I own quite a few cult classic(historic) shades and they were definitely purchases made out of curiosity due to their being a lack of information on them online.

[@-mabe-1474]

Mac cupcake lipstick, all nighter setting spray, Lorac eyeshadow pallets,….just some I remember EVERYONE talking about!

[@lisaakhtarekhavari7614]

I loved this video. It was so neat hearing about the history of some makeup cult classics ❤

[@2twentysix]

Mature skin can wear the Estee Lauder Double Wear when prepped. In fact I need to still use setting powder down my T-zone but it's a wonderful make-up I've used since my 20's. And CT Pillow Talk lip liner is perfection! Some others you mention today I might try. Great video, thank you.

[@Carol-hx8te]

Yes to more cult classic videos! Great info!

[@kerri-annereyes8696]

so funny because i love the chanel bronzer, cannot stand the charlotte tilbury - it skips, it dries, it dried out in my pan, just cannot stand it

[@chic_brooklyn_beauty]

Same I never tried the CT one but the Chanel is my fav bronzer in my collection, it blends itself and lasts all day long without setting. I have the tan medium shade in the new formula.

[@Winnie_Bago]

Yes more cult classic dives! Maybe include UD all nighter?

[@lila7663]

Loved this video so much! What reminded me of the benetint was the latest viral Milk jelly cheek/lip stain. I would LOVE to see you review it! You and Kackie have never steered me wrong with a recommendation, and I'm super curious if you'd agree with the rave reviews.

[@katezimmerman6793]

Rum Raisin 💄 Nars Orgasm and Laguna cheek products. Lo’real mascaras, pink and green tube, then black and gold. My mom has been using only those for decades

[@marionallen2222]

Wow Pillow Talk is a decade old LOL! I’ve missed out on a lotta make up wearing the same stuff for ever 🤣🤣🤣 Lancome had my heart until I couldn’t get my fav eyeshadows anymore

[@lavenduhhh]

Nars Orgasm is another cult favourite that I feel has been so overdone so I'd be interested in your thoughts about it!

[@txilinasti]

I love the demos and swatches. I don't know how you do it. It's great. Just keep going. Don't change the format of your chanel. And you always look fantastic. So yeah keep going and we will turning up to watch your vids.

[@idalarsson4729]

I really enjoyed the video! Another cult classic is Lancôme Tient Idole Foundation. The first foundation I ever bought. 💕

[@carolawabdy]

one cult classic that I LOVE is the Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting Powder!!

[@kellywatts6227]

Luminous silk sinks into my pores Idk why because I don't even have big pores, I wanted to love it so much. I can make it work but for the price ?? I did try a small sample size so not sure what it was that made it look visibly heavy on my skin? Thanks Amanda ❤

[@juicycouture70289]

Have you tried the Ulta version of the benefit benetint? I think it’s a pretty similar formula and cruelty free!

[@kerrysmith7598]

benefit hoola bronzer. who hasn't had this at some point?

[@bogeybud1281]

Fun video. Would love to see a drugstore makeup version.

[@patsyroyal]

This was a great idea. Would love to see more like this!

[@doedarling1215]

No MAC Russian Red? Although I'm mad they reformulated.

[@simplyellenxo95]

Still don’t understand what this ‘cult makeup’ is….no hate though just trying to understand.😊 also, really interested in getting to learn more about these makeup products…

[@Josma432]

I preferred the Armani Lasting silk, but it was discontinued 😢

[@rachelmckoskybennett8285]

Do a part 2! Nars Orgasm blush. Chanel Vamp nail polish (tho I don’t know that’s still made). Revlon lipsticks.

[@gabriellap986]

The Esteé foundation is the best!💓 I keep trying new ones, but none of them come close. I'm not young, my skin is dry, but it's wonderful in every way...🤗

[@aslandn8937]

I worked at ulta in 2018-19 so that definitely sways my perception of cult classic lol but ones that spring to mind from that era are Anastasia brow wiz, Becca color corrector, Mac fix+, urban decay all nighter, too faced better than sex, nars orgasm blush to name a few. And Ariana Grande cloud lol I would sell at least 3 of those bad boys per shift

[@withlove312]

Estee Lauder foundation worked well enough for me...when I was like 23. I actually found it very heavy on the skin.

[@angatherton5236]

If you put a drop of face oil in the doublewear it’s makes it more dewy

[@emiliebova]

Estée Lauder double wear is my favorite foundation. I can apply it in the am and my skin still looks good at dinner time!

[@nikolasincorporated]

My earliest makeup memories are all clinique as well 😅 my mom has used their products my whole life and i loved playing with the “computer” they used to have at their stand in Strawbridge’s

[@nataliemayo5410]

The ABH modern Renaissance and urban decay naked palettes would be interesting!

[@elisachiantaretto5639]

Le baume de Chanel (thank you for your interesting review!!)

[@renatatarnawski5974]

I think the Shiseido foundations are Iconic

[@kalequail]

Really enjoy this video! Would love to see more ❤❤

[@ewrtw3726]

would love to see a drugstore version if there is any 😅

[@Gorditavont33se]

How does the Ilia skin prep product compare to the Laneige cream skin toner (if you’ve tried it)?

[@rebeccaboonemartin1689]

Please do another one! I’d love to hear about Chanel Boy and Mac Ruby Woo.

[@lofotguri]

Becca/smashbox under eye corrector

[@tianiortiz8529]

Thank you! I always enjoy hearing your thoughts especially because our preferences and skin types are pretty much the same. Would love to hear a part 2

[@LiveAlcheme]

I really like the focus on cult classics pre 2000. Fascinating!!

[@carolynnettles3767]

I’m surprised you say the Double Wear is matte on you. I also have dry skin and it’s more normal to luminous on me. All skin is different though so that could definitely be it! I love that foundation and keep it in my rotation. I love this video! Stuck at home in a flare so I’m enjoying the break from new makeup content! ❤️

[@lookingatdaisies9901]

Do you apply it with a sponge or brush? Watched a video with someone discussing that, that brush would make a matte foundation look matte, but a wet sponge may make it appear dewy

[@schnuspelconny]

I love the concept and hope for a sequel!😊

[@jarrett8757]

Promo-SM 😏

[@yoursaudifriend2976]

Your lips are so beautiful and the lipstick looks amazing on you ❤️ please never do any fillers on them they're iconic

[@MyOperaHouse]

Wow beautiful! As in Amanda you are stunning!!!! And this video was such a treat! Thank you!

[@amyamy8177]

what about old-school youtuber favorites? mac paintpots, nars pot concealer, the beauty blender, better than sex mascara etc. Basically just what products you think still slay and i would also like to hear about some of the products you have used for the longest and why (could be seperate videos - guess it depends on how many products you have used for a very long time) FYI i really like this type of video since i see so many videos about the best new thing i always wonder how they stack up against older products. Like is it a great product of all time or just great compared to the new products people are testing out. Not saying you do that just that i see it so frequently that this type of video is refreshing. I just dont care whether a product is new or old i just want to buy good products and i sometimes think older products might be better because if they werent they would no longer be sold....

[@jjjjk1241]

I love the way you speak so clearly and deliberately. Thank you for this Amazingly interesting video, Amanda!

[@Josma432]

I do have my favourite product in every category that I buy over and over again. I’m really only tempted by new foundations and lip products.

[@HulaHoopBunny]

Hi what’s the brand shade of your eyeliner in the video? Fellow redhead 👩‍🦰 here 👋 and think it looks great on you. Kinda reddish plummy?

[@lubbylubby148]

An excellent dupe for the Chanel bronzer is the Collection Cream Bronzer by Collection Cosmetics. It’s only £8, blends like a dream and lasts all day. I believe it best dupes the original Chanel shade. It’s definitely available in the UK, not sure about countries.

[@katezimmerman6793]

BareMinerals powder foundation, mineral veil, and single eyeshadows

[@jenniferarrr]

Maybe I have some kind of allergy, but the benetint completely drys out and cracks on my lips 😢.

[@blendofdays]

Thank you for all your hard work!

[@carolphillips3594]

Another cult classic that I can't even believe they discontinued is Shiseido High Beam White. The most subtle, natural highlighter ever made, IMHO.

[@mariamsmaoui8084]

Hi Amanda, could you please compare both shades 1.5 and 2 side by side of the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation that you have? because i'm not sure but i think that the shade 2 is too light than shade 1.5 , i wish you have the shade 5 as well for comparison cause i think it has the same intensity as 1.5 but slightly different tint

[@anallovera8383]

Yes to Part 2 and 3 and…. Loved this video Amanda! ❤❤❤

[@nicolecaviness6482]

Not makeup, BUT-i know you’re also a Dior nail glow girl. Are you aware of or have you tried the reformulation? I have no clue what I’m going to do now. You wouldn’t think something like a clear nail polish would ruin my life so hard but I’m ruined.

[@heidifitz]

Another cult classic (that I don’t actually consider to be): Anastasia Brow Wiz

[@brigitteliu9915]

Estée Lauder double wear is my favourite foundation!

[@camileizlife1]

Where is your top from?? I love it!

[@katarinalopez1072]

Yes! We need fashion recommendations from Amanda!

[@snehapati8233]

Amanda, I watch everything you make and so can’t but seem to notice the wonderful jewellery you wear. Will you please please do a video and tell us more? Praying you do😊

[@justcarlasyoutube]

❤❤❤

[@ChauNguyen-fd1uz]

❤

[@kelliebennett9932]

Omg!!! Yes I clicked so fast. I adore Benetint!!! Had it on today!!

[@melp8175]

Your mascara looks sooooo long on your lashes today beautiful ! Brand? Can u also link the ilia serum you like? Thx❤❤,

[@dawnsaito2992]

I really enjoyed the video, love to hear about the history of these products. On the Chanel sun cream, i’ve heard the reformulated version wasn’t great. But last year they came out with a travel size and is a completely new formula to the one you reviewed here - I love it. I’ve used many brands but I keep reaching for the travel version in medium. I recommend you try it, it blends great and the color is neutral.

[@AndreeaC.]

Estee Lauder and Lancome Teint Idole are most repurchased for me , they never let you down, i've used them even when I had dry skin now i'm more normal to combo !

[@MirabeauLaing]

this was really fascinating, espec as someone still very new to makeup and its history

[@Lis-ek9wm]

Do you have a dupe for clinques black honey Blush?

[@moreblondethanhuman5053]

what's that sliver eyeshadow??????? stunning

[@sabrinaa8948]

Can you compare Chanel Boy to Biarritz?

[@frescazzz7536]

That Estee Lauder foundation is a perfect match for your skin.

[@jennyherron5353]

What an awesome video! Love all the hard work you put into it :)

[@BarbItalia]

LOVED THIS, thank you Amanda!

[@jenaiafarah7341]

Great video!! Definitely interested in more.

[@cassandraanderson4794]

Where did you get your earrings?!? 😍

[@Sassyglbeauty]

So, now I need the Armani foundation

[@andreao5352]

Amanda I hope you see this! Is there any chance you can try/review POWDER foundations for dry skin? I know that's a rare combo but nothing else beats powder in terms of being transfer proof and comfortable (closest I've come to feeling nothing on my skin). I've been using MUFE (the old version) which is beautiful only after setting spray, and I heard aquasurance is good but haven't tried. (Also hope you can shoutout which brands are and aren't BDS approved to help stand up against the g*n*c*d* being committed in P*l*st*n*)

[@christinebell8692]

You are speaking a different language.

[@kathleenmoortel5449]

I definitely want more videos like this!

[@jamiel264]

Double wear is glowy on me 😂

[@cherryblossom789]

Your hair looks especially pretty here, very shiny. And this was a nice video idea. :)

[@AmandaZ]

Aw thank you!!

[@chelseaperez49]

Is the Estee Lauder more forgiving as a matte foundation for dry skin or would you recommend the shiseido synchro skin original over that?

[@AmandaZ]

I think I would first recommend the original synchro skin! But double wear with good prep can still look great

[@lindsyehagens1373]

Love the backstories!

[@redheadlifestyle]

🧐🧐🧐Which Ilia product you prep your skin with???

[@AmandaZ]

in the description box! It's their new milk

[@Mari-nw1zx]

I love Clinique Black Honey ♥️

[@Justaregularoldplumbus]

Amanda you are a gift at the end of a long work day 🤎

[@summerairsaltyhair]

Your hair here 👌😍✨❤️

[@Rye_Toast]

Congrats on 100k!!
