[@Shario98]

I love your videos! I’m in my 50’s… 57. Concealers are so hard for me these days….😅 You are so real and down to earth, and funny. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@SB-ez3dw]

I’m 54 and have the same problem. Zabrena is one of the two KZbin MUAs I really trust.

[@VAwitch]

Agreed. I'm 49 with oily skin incl undereyes. Zabrena & Risa are the ones I trust to show those products that straddle those 2 different needs.

[@mirafranki8376]

I'm 36 with severe dark circles and a very textured dry under eyes, concealers don't work for so I only use bb cream and I've grown to accept my dark circles peeking through ! I love these kinds of videos they do help a lot.

[@JuliasBBeauty]

Hi Zabrena I love your review and I do agree with your opinion. I never could make work the Revolution one and I have now to try the Essence one. I have the old formula so I need to try this one. Yes battle of foundations would be great. Or mascara but I know you will do both. Sending peace and love back to you ❤

[@kellyross4801]

I'm part of this Breakfast Club, too. 😆 I've found a color corrector from LA Girl (?) in a dark peach/orange. I thought it'd be too dark for my super fair skin. But it worked! I'm currently using the PF Butter concealer, and loving the blendability. I've started using an eye serum overnight... with Vaseline over it. 😮 Holy cow! It is doing wonders for my under eye. Circles, bags, wrinkles all improved. I have used the NYX BWM, too, but I like the Butter better. Zabrena, Risa and Wayne are the only ones I trust! 💕😘

[@ivechang6720]

So appreciative of how you never say "for the price" or over enthuse about the luxury feel of a product or how "special" it is over it's performance and individual traits. That's important to me. Putting on makeup at all takes energy that is in short supply in my life. So just wearing it is plenty luxurious imo. Love you 💌.

[@auntieliz930]

Oh! A battle of eye liners please. Tight lining/water lining, smudging, pigment/finish, and wear test.

[@niinafletcher]

I’m with you 💯 % on this! With my sensitive/watery eyes? Finding a decent pencil to stay put in my water line is next to impossible. 😬 The struggle is real! 😅❤

[@ashleypoplin8969]

I only tight line my upper lid and I love wet n wilds break up proof gel liner in black or brown.

[@joannfred8472]

Yes, please!

[@cath3rine9]

Yes I agree with this! An Eyeliner battle would be great especially for sensitive eyes.

[@keepfitgirl8191]

Love this! Would love to see mascaras next please. Emma x

[@AngiePhiffer79]

I LOVE the green eyeshadow on your wear tests. Can you do a tutorial for that?

[@elle3802]

I love these 'battle of' videos. I'd love to see an updated drugstore nude lipsticks or red lipsticks battle again. Those were awesome! Sending lots of love to you and your family 🥰

[@Leah.Lou1989]

I love watching all your videos because you talk about the best drugstore makeup. Thank you so much for doing these "Battle Of" videos I would really like to see liquid foundations next and eyeliners. Those are the main one's but honestly I really hope you put every step up to the test and battle them out. I really do value your opinion a lot because I think we have a very similar skin type. ❤ Love Peace and Happiness and God Bless 😊❤

[@nancystinger7393]

I have been using Elf Camo for a couple of years works great on my mature skin ❤️

[@choirkitty]

The Elf camo concealer is seriously the best I have ever used. And I agree it's great for mature skin ❤

[@donnagray7792]

I also use the elf camo and I love it. I also have higher end products and this is still my favorite. 66 young!

[@MissEddieBlueKawaiiKrafts]

Wow that’s crazy I can’t stand it 😅 Not sure if being born in the early 80’s counts as mature skin but I have severely dry skin too & started to see fine lines. I got the elf camo after everyone & their aunt started recommending it, but it is SO cakey on me & I barely used any!! NYX bare with me on the other hand is one of the best concealers I’ve ever used! I skipped concealer most of my life cuz I always found it aging & felt it added texture.. but every now & then I’d pick one up only to use them just a few times each before going back to none. Anyway when I came across the NYX bare with me something made me pick it up (probably the packaging lol 😅) but I’m so glad I did cuz I absolutely adore it!!! 🦋💘🍭

[@daisiesandpandas1218]

​@@MissEddieBlueKawaiiKraftsthere's the 16hr camo (matte, dries very fast) and the hydrating camo... Most everyday people loved the hydrating one over the 16hr when it came out.

[@AveryIdk-nv7yx]

How is the coverage?

[@AM-cv9fi]

Love all your eyeshadow looks alongside your wear tests. Really appreciate the thorough breakdown of all these concealers

[@ThursdayASMR]

I'm so happy you are doing this again! I loved this series you did years ago and I found them so helpful. I'm so glad you're doing this again so it's with updated products!

[@louisesharpy]

I love how you show it so close and how it blends. Perfect

[@catherineblue5607]

I missed this series, thanks for bringing it back!!!

[@emilyaltman6283]

This series was how I found your channel back in the day! Love the comeback!!!!

[@Ettevy98]

I’ve always loved the maybelline fit me concealer ❤

[@nikki4596]

what do u like about it? :)

[@Ettevy98]

@@nikki4596 it blends well , coverage is great and it lasts. Doesn’t cake Only thing is tube is so damn small

[@Elenaensumundo]

It's dry for me. I have it and I combine it with a hidrating concealer. Not my fav

[@budgiebeak]

Zabrena I absolutely love your videos. I'm 28 and still learning how to apply makeup and such. Your videos are my favorite because you don't apply any stupid blurring filters to hide pores/lines/etc like so many MUAs do.

[@Sunny-ot1vo]

I'm around the same age as you. I learned to do colorful looks from Nickie Tutorials. I get general beauty recommendations from Kathleenlights. I follow Zabrena for makeup especially since she uses both drugstore and higher-end products. I've switched all my makeup items to a drugstore and instead invest in quality skin care (quality doesn't mean expensive💕). I learn from Youkeyy, Kolorful Kalmele, and Nyma Tang for deeper skin tones as I do some of my friends' makeup.

[@daisiesandpandas1218]

I recommend Lisa Eldridge and Wayne Goss as well, in this land of KZbin, it's easy to develop makeup practices that have no sound reason behind them but are based on trends, the above two like Zabrena will teach you the techniques and whys. They're classically trained make-up artists.

[@pamrutledge9477]

Love these type of videos. Really so helpful as drugstore makeup is really getting good

[@Patti-1962]

My top is the NYX concealer. One hack that I do with this concealer is I mix a small amount in with my Wet n Wild Tinted Hydrator to lighten the shade (the lightest shade is too dark for me.) It makes the perfect foundation and concealer combined. I use the Incognito concealer to cover hyperpigmentation spots, letting it set up for a while before blending it in. I will also use both these concealers as a foundation as well!

[@Tess_mess304]

I have that problem too the lightest shade for me could be my contour color or close to.

[@beanmehula]

Aloha and thank you. You’re much younger than me so your use of the word ‘crease’ stands out. I will try the ELF. I use Maybelline Super Stay #25. Very happy with the color match and it wears for about 15 hours. Spreads easy and I like the paddle shape applicator cause it doesn’t blob on the product. You look great!

[@xtina2010]

Thank you so much for putting in all the work for these comparison videos and you're so thorough! God bless darling!❤😊

[@kathleenkaffeine8696]

drugstore formulas are getting better and better! great video 🙂

[@helenstuckey4042]

Love your information and content on here!!! Could you do a tutorial of all your favorite products for a full face of makeup. It can be a mix of high end and low end. I just would like to see your favorite products from beginning to end of a makeup look!

[@BriseisMusic]

Oh this is awesome! TY for posting this. The only concealer I tried is the original Elf Camo Concealer. Way too thick, so I'm excited to try a few you listed here!

[@alikc25]

Thank you for the tip on the concealers Zabrena.

[@chicachatzis]

great video 🧡 I love the rose gold eyeshadow you had during the incognito test. As you know I have dry skin and the only one that works for me is the makeup revolution eye brightener, it comes in a pot and it is super rich and creamy.

[@jenniferingramakajlynnsnai8184]

Heyyyy Zabrena. Thank you for all your videos.

[@HollyG6]

Catrice concealers are great! I use the one you showed under the eyes and their long wear waterproof one for blemishes and body bruises. I use the older one drop concealer under my eyes when i want more coverage occasionally and it's pretty good too.

[@misskiwi5460]

Hey Beautiful! I always love your content and I just wanted to say that I freakin love, love, love the shade of your hair in this video. I've missed you so now I'm binging. I've been taking care of mom and don't usually have much time and even less energy. God bless you and your family!

Wow, drug store concealers have stepped it up! Great info & thank you for creating it!

[@simoneclarke5104]

I use the ELF Hydrating camo concealer and like it, but am in need of a new one so I am going to try the Essence concealer. Thank you for the review, it was perfect timing🥰. I would love to see more of this type of video 💖

[@theeluannesantos]

Hi There Gorgeous! Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been trying to find a good concealer that actually covers my dark circles but doesn’t make my skin look or feel dry. I’m definitely try these

[@kellymarie7660]

I love the NYX serum concealer!

[@Heyheyrayeraye]

I own almost every concealer you tried, and I totally agree with your Top 3/Bottom 3, except for the Milani conceal and perfect. I just love that one! And Revolution's undertones are too pink for me. Love this video, can't wait for the rest of the series! ❤️

[@tammyw11]

The end reminds me of your “must have, must nots” that you use to do! Future ideas I think would be great: battle of blushes, bronzer, etc. and battle of eyeshadow colors (pinks, purples, blues, etc)

[@mylilramey3821]

Thank you this was wonderful. I would love for you to do pore filling and pore smoothing foundations and primers. Primers that really do feel and smooth pores 😊

[@ricky7111]

I can't wait to try some of these. I always feel good following your makeup recommendations since with are both fair skinned, both live in hot humid places, and I think we are about the same age. And when Im out in the wild of the drug store i get so overwhelmed, and I have owned some terrible concealers. I also really like the Maybelline eraser, which I think you also recommended on here.

[@guardself921]

Completely agree foundation and mascara would be great ones. Also powder, setting and foundation powders.

[@Samtara1984]

I love this series

[@rebeccamcgraw6594]

I use NYX "a little dab will do ya" that is for sure. But I love it and you were the one who introduced it to me so thank you. Love you videos. Can you do one on lip stains?

[@cattastroficka196]

Yes on the lip stains! Great suggestion Rebecca. I’m on the hunt for a plum. My lips are naturally dark but thin and I don’t like lipstick.

[@florenceb1537]

Love your videos & great info! I would love to see a comparison of powder foundation! I'm 60+ with combo skin, but have a hard time keeping foundation looking good in heat/humidity! Thank you!

[@stephanied6711]

[@catliciousoz]

Thank you for another awesome video ❤Everything changes after 55, II imagine few of those would work for me now.. Anything full coverage is off the table. I'm still using maybelline instant age rewind concealer though, about 60% less product application than shown here as that's all I can get away with. Thanks again!

[@modgirl3292]

I loved the Revlon, Essence & Catrice on you!!! The others looked either grayish or rolled into your inner corners near the nose. Have you ever did Color Analysis??? I’d love to hear makeup comparisons to your undertones (which seem warm to me). As always your videos are detailed & so informative

[@dizzy_miss_lizzie]

Love the background!!!

[@kathyperkov5939]

Thank you Zabrena. I would like to see a battle of blushes. Xo

[@raward219]

Glad this is back. Did you set your under eye... and if so with what?

[@lynettewalsh4918]

I enjoyed this video. I haven't tried the Makeup Revolution conceal & define but I have the IRL Filter Finish and love it. I'm 57 and it's one of my favorite. I think that you should try this one and put it in one of your videos.

[@auntieliz930]

Great video! The slightly heavier formula of the elf hydrating concealer does really well for my more mature, dry skin. If I put too much on, it will crease. So I have to use a light hand. It holds up all day for me and looks great at the end of the day.

[@MyCleverHandle]

Absolutely my experience too!

Well maybe I will try concealers again but have tried several at low and high prices and blah - after a few hours underneath eye looks wrinkled and dry. If you do battle of the bests would love to see for brows and lip liners. Even brow setting makeup - although the hack of using Elmer glue disappearing purple glue stick works pretty good....

[@emmasadler9872]

I, I love your videos and you definitely give me good hits and tips! I appreciate your opinion and look to you before I buy and for tips as you always look gorgeous. I was looking into the essence concealer recently and in going to go for it now but my only question is did you power these down on the days of wear as after 3/4 hours my concealer always looks bad x what are your best long wear tips gorgeous a combo dry lady like me? X keep doing what you do ❤❤

Thank you!!! I would love to know which one do you think would work for covering up discoloration on the face? Like over an acne scar? My favorite drugstore concealer is the new one by flower beauty, but I want to try some of the ones you recommend! Personally I’d love a battle of longwear lipstick, or maybe a battle of matte lipstick. Honestly, you can pretty do whatever videos you like because I love your content and your bubbly personality ❤

[@EnvyBlu]

I deal with a lot of hyperpigmentation on my cheeks. I’ve tried a lot of drugstore concealers for this problem and I’ve found CoverGirl TruBlend Undercover Concealer works so good for this! I’m actually surprised she didn’t mention that concealer in this video. It really is one of the best at the drugstore. It has the best undertones and isn’t yellow like a lot of concealers

Wow great video! The wet and wild incognito wasn't pigmented enough for my dark under eyes So I gave it to my 11 year old daughter and it's perfect for her. Her circles aren't as dark and she doesn't have to worry about creasing lol. I like the ElF camo that has enough pigment and lasts but I'm no longer a fan of ELF as a company. I'll have to give some of your other recommendations a try. Thank you so much!

I am 49 and have dry skin, with dry under eyes as well. Even when I add extra moisture under my eyes I find the elf does the same thing to me. I do recommend their yellow colour concealer for dark circles(I'm cool toned, pink undertone, fair and it works for my skin tone) Dermablend makes a full coverage concealer that is thick so you only need a small amount but that covers everything and doesn't move at all!
