the sage green outfit with the sage green eyemakeup🔥🔥🔥

[@VeeVee0014]

Thanx for mentioning your skin type! My comment almost loked totally different until you mentioned the most important thing possible so thank you!!!

[@afraaomar4682]

It is funny to me that a foundation from a skin care brand causes a lot of people to break out😂

[@lorilino7425]

Omg Aafra. I was thinking that also!

[@makeup_clau]

I had the exact same thought 😂

[@amberspecter1]

Because it's a bad skincare brand

[@lorilino7425]

@@amberspecter1 oh I disagree Amber. Have you tried any of their products? I think they have great dupes for many overpriced brands.

🤦‍♀️

[@christyfielding7498]

At first I thought oh wow Kelly decided to bejewel herself then you said white dots. Just goes to show how well you did applying those dots. Very cute!!

[@marsansalgado]

Ok. A couple of notes... 1. Awesome video. Did not feel as long as you said it was gonna be. Jammed packed of useful info, hardly any clutter, well organized, AND WITH TIME STAMPS!? Nice job. *golf clap* 2. Loving the eye make up! My lil sister does a similar thing with her makeup and it looks so ethereal and magical with hardly any extra work. Working it. Love it. 3. I know all KZbinrs say this but when I hear stuff in the backgrounds of videos, it sounds more genuine. Literally. All the kids and the pets and the traffic and the worldly noise going on around them. It's natural. People have lives to live and it's just beautiful you're inadvertantly capturing on video. Loving the videos. Keep up the good work. (:

[@martamaboo]

Omg this eye makeup is EVERYTHING!! It's so so pretty ✨

[@KellyGooch]

Thank you!!!!

[@MariaSCarr]

It really is so simple and so stunning!

[@Realzproductreviews]

Pretty

[@katxfish]

I decided to try out the elf flawless finish at Walmart since my shade was only $3 and then I remembered you highly raved about it. I said $3 why not, and guess what I fell in love with it too! 😂

[@KellyGooch]

Yay! I’m so happy that you love it!

[@kayla4702]

Nice! I should definitely try this soon, especially since I'm almost out of my current fave that is definitely more expensive.

[@Realzproductreviews]

Wow $3. What a steal. 💖

[@ivett314]

Don't know how they can afford to price it so cheap but great for us!!

[@sarahmansour311]

Love this!! Can you do sunscreens next? Especially those that are good under makeup.

[@sandymajors6015]

Great video Kelly! That Elf CC Cream was a nightmare on my 60 year old skin! Terrifying really!!! WNW Hydrating skin tint is perfect.

[@KaraChapman]

Kelly! You looks so gorgeous! I'm loving the little white dots.

[@angelica89177]

Please try the Wet n Wild Tinted Hydrator! Is super cheap and beautiful on the skin. The only downside is the shade range. I’m usually “light” but heard that it was too dark and bought “fair” and it is still a little too dark for me. They also have “porcelain” but that one looks too pink.

[@kelsey9384]

I went to Walmart last night, the ELF camo foundation was $15! I was a bit surprised since ELF or WNW are usually the cheapest. 😳😳😒

[@kelsey9384]

[@roxybes]

Wow......that's crazy!

They're doing what people wondered about for years, raising prices and claiming it's an innovative product. It's not.

[@funsizedi88]

It's now June 2024, and E.L.F has just released a Soft Glam medium buildable satin foundation for $8. It's kinda a re-released of their $6 medium satin foundation, but better IMO. It has 36 shades and all skin tones have a warm/cool/neutral. Loving it so far!

[@cellophane_rat]

Yes! I needed this from you! Also I love your makeup today! Stunning

[@KellyGooch]

Thank you!!!

Looooove this look!! The lashes/liner(?) really brings it together!

[@laurapirate]

Heart eyes for your your dotty eyes😍

[@themightyquill560]

It’s so interesting how skin type and other factors can affect foundation. I have combo-oily acne prone skin, and the yet I get great wear-time with the Colourpop tinted moisturizer! Granted, I often wear a primer (although not strictly mattifying) and/or powder, but I also live in a hot and humid climate that tends to make my makeup very slide-y or wear off quickly. I don’t try a lot of foundation/base products so I haven’t explored possibly better formulas like Kelly has, but it’s been my go to for over a year. Definitely would like to try some others though!

[@sunshineee912]

you look soooo good! Loving the hair, make up, jewelry combination!

[@allisonlink6311]

I wear foundation maybe 4 days a year, but your eye look was worth watching the video for. Love it!

[@luxeford547]

I really like TO serum foundation. Picked it up on a whim (in my perfect shade, because that's my super power) because it's no big deal. It *does* have more coverage than I expected, but it feels like a proper foundation. The ones you can apply where needed as needed and adjust as you go. I got one of the shades with "golden reflects" but I can't really see it. It's just yellow enough to make my ruddy mayonnaise skin look less embarrassed.

[@tabithak5943]

Are you saying your super power is finding the correct shade on the first try? 😁😁😁

[@chaturangaful]

Now that is a super power I would actually use

[@marsansalgado]

Remember: you must use your super powers only for good. Not for evil.

[@hannahlo2189]

I am currently really enjoying the Rimmel skin tint, it has BARLY any coverage, and is so lightweight, but that's why I like it, its not really noticeable applied to the skin and kinda just even things out a bit, and wears nicely

[@JennDBeauty]

Have you tried the Believe beauty foundation? I think you would like it!

[@rachelelwin450]

I’m quite liking the Elf camo powder foundation. I sometimes use it as a one and done quick out the door option. I don’t build it up. I use a sponge to apply it.

[@KellyGooch]

I'm glad that you're enjoying it!

[@baileydubs]

I have always agreed with you about the camo cc cream. Really looked terrible on me

[@StephiS26491]

THIS makeup. I need to recreate this. You look georgous.

[@allih8021]

[@kellyburnett1833]

I have heard good things about the Wet and Wild Photo focus.... just wondering what your thoughts were on that one. I love your look today....

[@caseyjeanchapman]

I like the dewy version of the photo focus. A lot of people don't consider wnw cruelty free though (I believe Kelly talks about this in an older video)

[@JesssL]

I also like the dewy one (dry combo skin). Emily Noel loves them both but the "normal" one particularly, you could check some of her videos out 🤗

[@sharonashman7124]

I tried the dewy formulation. It looked ok but has a very strong unpleasant smell. That was a dealbreaker for me. I'm really liking the Cover Girl Trueblend Hydrating.

[@tammyraines6802]

I LOVE the Elf Powder...I am normal to dry and it wears great

[@UnpurrfectRobyn]

I just got the e.l.f. flawless finish foundation in my latest e.l.f. order and I'm excited to try it! I actually really like the wet'n'wild photofocus foundation as well. I have the e.l.f. camo cc cream and don't love it as much as I thought I did at first. It doesn't wear well on me and breaks down rather quickly which is unfortunate. I've tried with several different primers and application techniques to no avail. However, it does mix well for me into other products that I have if I want to boost the coverage so I'll use it up that way.

[@Realzproductreviews]

[@siennad587]

I absolutely love this look. I totally agree with your opinion on the ELF CC Cream. I wanted to love it but it looks awful on my skin. I got some new affordable foundations to try! Thanks Kelly.

[@TracyCampanella]

I have normal/dry combo skin. I've been enjoying the MUR powder foundation. I moisturize first and spray with setting spray. Exfoliation before it helps me as I weirdly get dry patches by my nose especially even in heat. The joys of getting older 😂

I've really want to try either elf or catrice

[@kayla4702]

I actually got the Elf Satin Finish foundation this year and I just finished it. I will definitely be repurchasing!! 😊❤

[@xxzzz7467]

I‘ve recently tried the miracle foundation from max factor but it really did not work for me. The color shade ( the lightest one) looked orangey on me when blended out and it separated as well ( esp around my checks). Usually that does not happen with foundations/concealers for me so Idk 🤷‍♀️ It barely covered anything so I kept reapplying and obv that just made it look worse. And it was a bit too hydrating for my liking, like to the point I just looked o i l y :( Anyway, I just bought the catrice true skin foundation in hopes that that one works better since I already love their true skin concealer :) ( Although unfortunately my shade is never in stock ) So if anyone wants to buy the miracle foundation from max factor, a heads up 🤷‍♀️

[@tatianacunningham888]

I feel like were like sitting down one on one and you’re teaching me personally. Which is cool cause you connect with everyone. Definitely here to stay 😅😬💖

[@antonmula9625]

You have to try the essence stay all day 16h foundation. It is the best even better than every high end foundation

[@elizabethcook7333]

Hi, Will you compare the Uoma foundation to the IRL Uoma foundation?

[@seevanhawkins4591]

I am like the only person that couldn’t get with the Catrice True Skin. I currently like my CoverGirl matte BB and TruBlend and the Purito BB.

[@seevanhawkins4591]

For powder, I can’t say enough good things about the CoverGirl Simply Ageless. It goes on so smooth and not powdery even with matte primer and foundation. I feel the same way as you about the ELF Camo powder. It’s okay. BUT I love the JCat one! 😂

[@jaymoon5765]

I felt the same way about the Catrice foundation - it just didn’t work on my my skin.

[@jackiesparrow6974]

[@mmmkk987]

I've never liked mousse foundations, they always look too heavy and too makeup-y on my skin.. never understood why they used to be so popular

[@zaria5785]

I live in a desert climate and a mousse like foundation really keeps the moisture in my skin but over the top of my sunblock. It made my skin look juicy.

[@moniquetibble2309]

I agree with colourpop pretty fresh tinted moisturizer, I thought I liked it, unfortunately I don’t like it anymore, I’m going to use it up but don’t care for it

[@LucisZ39]

I want to love drugstore foundations because I do believe there are some great formulas out there. But I have such a terrible time trying to find a shade match. Sometimes the really sheer ones work out ok but even then the lightest shades tend to be too dark and not neutral enough. The only drugstore foundation I have right now is the Uoma by Sharon C and it's laughable how badly I shade matched myself.

[@tabithak5943]

When I’m in the store that doesn’t have testers, I grab my holy grail foundation in my perfect shade. I walk around the store with it and use that to try and find a close match in another brand.

[@brenmar88]

Not sure if you’re wearing a dress or a top but looks so cute! Where is it from?

[@pajamamama5965]

Terrific video! Thank you. If I had normal to dry skin, I would absolutely love the Dollar General believe Beauty Foundation for medium coverage. On my oily skin, it just is too dewy but it's a beautiful foundation for $5. I'm still on the hunt for a replacement for my Revlon Color Stay matte. It's just so long wearing on my oily skin and definitely mattifying

The Ordinary Serum Foundation for some reason started looking bad on me. I hadn't had it for years and repurchased recently. It doesn't look good on me anymore. I was kinda shocked tbh. And the kokie foundation looks awful on me too. It might be because I'm 44.

Same here, I’m very fair and cool toned. I went to Sephora because my friend’s daughter works there to try to have her match my shade, and she even struggled. Neutral shades pull too yellow on me so trying to find a shade light enough, but not quite porcelain and cool toned is a struggle. Good luck!

It's an oldy and not hip right not but don't sleep on these two!

She only does cruelty free make up that’s why Neutrogena wasnt mentioned. Also I watched one of her videos talking about wet and wild not actually being cruelty free. I just recently went cruelty free and before that my absolute fave was the Neutrogena for years!!! I’ve been wearing that for so long. It’s so nice but in summer i get oily and it wouldn’t last on my skin. I still haven’t found a foundation that I like as much sadly. People say it’s a dupe for the Giorgio Armani.
