I mist my mask with a matte setting setting spray, then let it dry....no more foundation transfer 🙌🏻

[@cynthiabarker522]

Thank you for posting this comment!! I must try this!

[@lemenyh]

Genius!

[@coridominguez6873]

Cannot wait to try this thanks for the tip

[@shalesmarie8128]

Thats a great tip.

[@kristentrep5038]

Love a good suggestion! I’m definitely going to try this out too!

[@felicityrose11]

I truly don't mind masks (I'm a substitute teacher so I have to wear one all day every day) because it's any easy thing that makes me feel like I'm doing my part BUT I hate them at the same time because I miss wearing lipstick so much! A bold lip was always my signature look and my lips feel so wrong without anything on them lol

[@kimberlyplayer]

Maybe you could try the Maybelline Lip ink. Those stay on really well. Lots of pretty shades, too.

[@kiraboo5651]

I love the Rimmell pressed powder, but you GOTTA try the No 7 pressed powder. I don't use powder all over my face, but use this to set my undereye concealer. Super finely milled, doesn't add color (I have transleucent), doesn't set into fine lines. Dupe for Charlotte Tillbury. You won't regret it.

[@ymahopkins]

I keeep hearing this, I need to actually try it! Lol

[@90sraver22]

I agree aswel

[@lauramacknick1116]

No7 lift and luminate powder for setting foundation is PHENOMENAL. I have repurchased 4-5 times this year alone I love it so much.

[@kathryn3223]

I totally agree! I use No 7 under my eyes to set, and the tiniest bit of elf Halo Glow Loose Powder as a finishing powder....mostly for the slight sheen. Even if I want more glow, this one is not powdery or cakes 🙂

[@magpiesneedle2575]

I carry a No 7 translucent compact with me everywhere, ah menopause...

[@aislinallen45]

I am a COVID ICU nurse, so I am all for mask!! Don’t go anywhere without one, it’s real and scary!! But I’m terribly tired of it, I hate wearing Mask and so miss lipstick. I’m with you on the L’Oréal infallible, only one I wear to work anymore.

[@sillysara]

Thank you for all of your dedication and hard work! God bless you! My father was in the Covid ICU, and I am well aware of the hours and stress you must endure.

[@debradowling800]

No shame in sleeping with makeup every now and again. Don't really trust anyone who claims to NEVER have just said "screw it", and gone to bed.

[@killakates]

Did that just last week. I’ve been slacking on my skincare 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@magpiesneedle2575]

I’ve lost your trust 😢

[@MissReneeMichelle]

Noooooope. I do not. And I'm horrified when people do.

[@natnguyen4052]

Love how you talk about old and new makeup.

[@ymahopkins]

I know everyone has said the lipstick industry has to have been hurting this year, but I swear I’ve bought more lip products this year than ever before. Being at home has made me way more adventurous with my makeup! I love the Oh Snap lip liner, definitely need to get my hands on Little One!

[@loridahlin730]

I’ve been living under a rock and haven’t tried the NYX Butter gloss. 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@ruthgarza1967]

Mandy I love your hair 😍 You remind me of Daryl Hannah in the movie Splash.

[@PersianPowergirl]

I'm sure someone has told you before, you look like Julia Roberts. You look so fresh and vibrant. Not to mention, you're a living embodiment of the fact that even thin lips can look so beautiful. 💋 Thanks for reminding us that.

[@jill_the_organized_hoarder]

U r the best! Happy New Year 🎉🎉

[@thegoodanfamily9817]

Believe Beauty has the best foundation and its only $5 😆. Only available at Dollar General, but try it!!

[@ymahopkins]

AGREE! I love their foundation. I need to try more of their makeup.

[@CowGirlKat8691]

I am so jelli of you gals that have a Dollar General. I am too far North & only have a Dollar Tree & Family Dollar [this one carries a SMALL rack of LA Colors but it's hit or miss...

[@julieligon9501]

Thank you so much! Definitely looking forward to the eyeshadow video!!! Love your eye look!

[@rachelleensor3147]

“I will always take cake” 🤣🥰 Nyx worth the hype mascara has been amazing Also love the new BH cosmetics eyeshadow formula, alter ego, CP Boudoir Noir this year. Essence luminous bronzer and Becca champagne pop highlighter (got it full size for $15 on Walmart.com so to me it counts as drugstore)

[@aliciai.9150]

Excited to see your best of eye shadow pallettes video!

[@teribrutts3837]

So many of my favorites mentioned too !! Probably bc I got them bc of you. Love my lifter gloss, essence blush, and baddest beige!!

[@biancahelberg2890]

I recently went back to the Nyx Butter Gloss formula and I can't believe that I ever forgot about these glosses. They are stunning. I got a new shade "Bit of Honey" which is the MOST flattering light honey brown!

[@miriamturner7352]

Your channel has become one of my favorites this year. Thanks so much!

[@tammyp6105]

Your eyes are beautiful! Love the shadow too!

[@grandmaphyllienewman9639]

Thanks MandyLea. Love the review. Purchasing the Elf blushes.

[@jenny4054]

I love your enthusiasm for makeup! It makes your videos the absolute best in my opinion. Thank you ❤️

[@crystallilly7257]

I really enjoy the lifter lip gloss and the elf primer blush and bronzer. I just got the mandalorian/ baby yoda eyeshadow pallet and I can’t wait to try the eye look you did with it🤗😊

[@meredithklika503]

I adore the Flower Beauty warrior mascara. I actually like the way it applies vs the Lash Paradise.

[@akbflo]

Oh gosh, yes! Those Almaty lipsticks are my all time favorite. They look and feel amazing!!

[@michelledeboer8834]

I love the bit size elf quads. Love knowing your favs.

[@mikellecallahan516]

So enjoy your channel. The content is one thing but your delivery is really awesome. Happy New Year.

[@juliahester3466]

I love to watch and listen to you. You are so down to earth and knowledgeable. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@mimiepperson7116]

The Revlon Candid Concealer is my absolute favorite concealer. I bought it on your recommendation. Thank you!

[@tabithaphillips4281]

I love the Revlon Skin Lights highlighters and the bronzers!!! I think they look beautiful on the face!

[@brendatassone8302]

i love the way you do your blush, so natural looking,

[@cindyv8024]

So glad I found your channel this year....I love you content and you very quickly became on of my favorites. Happy New Tear! 🎉🎉

[@corinnestuart7012]

Great video, thanks so much. Your channel is my favorite. Can't wait for your other favorites videos.

[@deborahronca]

Love your channel and I love the Revlon Skin lights Bronzer and the Hilighters. I just repurchased the Bronzer and I am using it all the time over my highend brands. Happy 2021!

[@Mleoutdoors]

Have you tried any cream eyeshadow sticks? I love your videos! Merry Christmas and happy new year!

[@livehappy8347]

Love that color on you!! beautiful 😻, thank you for a great content year. You made this year much better☺️ you are the best. Best wishes for the New Years 🥳.

[@jessicacody4321]

Love all of these! I would love a hair tutorial. I just love your hair and need help with mine! Happy New Year! 🎉

[@sherylbeamer7189]

Yes, tired of masks😷 and it’s ok to say it🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕❤️.

[@kristenlandon796]

Say it louder for the people in the back. 👌

[@annazhao211]

make sure you keep wearing them though!! 😊

[@stampwithmarcee]

🙌🏻

[@adrianblackberry9327]

2009 - H1N1 - sitting here still with inflammatory side effect - wish I had a mask.

[@sandybowers5085]

Going to pick up that Revlon concealer!!! I keep forgetting!!! Also try the Maybelline Lifter gloss in Amber -beautiful peachy nude ❤️I am definitely going to get more shades in those!!! Can’t wait for the palettes video!!! BTW you look extra stunning today!!!! Although you always are❣️❣️❤️🥰

[@darcyhenke3672]

Love your picks and you are my favorite channel find in 2020! You have to try Maybelline lipstick in the shade Truffle Tease. It is a favorite of Allie Glines. At first I thought it was a strange brown shade but it is the perfect nude especially over your two favorite Milani lip liners which I love too. I so appreciate your love for affordable makeup - please don’t lose that! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to your family!

[@roxannestowell6175]

Great video! 😁. A couple things I have not tried that I will have to..... I totally trust your recommendations.... you have never steered me wrong 😜

[@annaflanders1345]

OMG that Never Regret by Almay is by absolute favorite as well!

[@aileenbell6750]

Loved these! A lot of them were on my list as well...cause I bought them when u recommended them. 😂

[@NataliaLavrovaBeauty]

Amazing picks!!!!! I am definitely putting a few items on my list now that my no buy is almost over (1 more day!!!! Yikes). I will be on a super strict budget so your drugstore choices might prove to be very useful. Those Juicy Pang blushers are most certainly something I want to try, especially since everyone is going gaga over cream blushes and I don't have any. Thank you for an amazing year of content and for all the kindness you have shown me and all your subscribers. Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family

[@sixtyandme]

Hi Mandy, I am a 72 year old woman and absolutely love your channel. Thank you for your beautiful style, compassionate heart and just wonderful product reviews. This one was a validation of so many products I have enjoyed this year. I love the Maybelline Lifter Gloss - Moon is my favorite! I think it would look beautiful on you! Have a happy and brighter new year! I also fell in love with cream eye shadows - would love your recommendations!

[@TamarasTimelessBeauty]

Hi Margaret!! ❤️

[@sixtyandme]

@@TamarasTimelessBeauty Hi Tamara, lovely to meet you here! By the way, I am featuring you in a video called "16 Bloggers Every To Inspire You in 2021" - do you have an Instagram account? Just love Mandy - inspiration for women of all ages! Happy New Year! x

[@TamarasTimelessBeauty]

@@sixtyandme how cool! Thank you! I’ll DM you later. And yes, I adore Mandy! ❤️

[@pinkTonya24]

Hello! I have a recommendation that I am certain Mandy would agree with: Sydney Grace cream shadows are my FAVORITE! They are so pigmented and creamy and dry down nicely. They are super easy to work with and blend out. I have over 15 of them and use them frequently!

[@sarahwalden178]

Third comment of the video, haha. But I just wanted to say how much I love that you include repeats in your favorites videos (both year-end and monthly favorites). Nothing makes me more interested in a product than when I see someone include several times, so I know it’s not just momentary excitement that’s making it a favorite, but that it’s actually tried and true. I appreciate this so much about your videos! Thank you!

[@jessicabaca5186]

Happy new year 🎉

[@juliewells4282]

I love the WnW Dewy foundation! It wears well on me. I do powder and use the Catrice illuminating setting spray.

[@nataliafinegan4076]

I discovered the revlon concealer thanks to your video, and have been using it ever since, thanks!!🙏 I’m 40+ , normal to fry skin, and I really need a concealer on a daily basis, so thank you, thank you, thank you! 😊❤️

[@sunsunmeey]

I finally bought that Juicy Pang blushers! Thanks to you! Also since now I am living in South Korea it's easier to get my hands on it and they're super cheap! I've always been really curious because you love it so much haha

[@Ladydessa]

Mandy, you are my very best makeup influencer for 2020. 🏆🥇Thank you for being honest, fresh and consistent! Love your content and enjoyed every single video this past year. Wish you all the best to you and your beautiful family. 🥰🥰🥰

[@shamrocksmom]

I haven’t tried the L’Oréal Infallible foundation under a mask. I will definitely give it a go next time I leave the house.

[@shalesmarie8128]

I love the almay lipvibes too.

[@marywallbridge9749]

Hi Mandy great favourites video, there's a few things on your list I have and have become my favourites also like the the gloss silk it's so lovely, elf bronzer in sunkist really nice and I have mediumish skin and it shows really well and the primer infused blush stunning with fantastic staying power too, I'm keen to try the juicy pang blushes after seeing your videos and how beautifully thru wear ,thanks again for sharing, take care and happy New year all the best Mary in Australia⚘🤩

[@michellek8631]

Agree with you on nix butter gloss and lifter. My 2 faves

[@amydearing9866]

Someone else who LOVES the Revlon Candid Foundation/Concealer. Finally!

[@glorialazarin6945]

I have almost every item you mentioned 🙈. We have the same taste and also everything you recommend that I don’t have I go try it and I love it. This year I tried and loved the milani soft focus glow. It’s amazing under my foundation. The foundation I found that is my new favorite is Estee Lauder futurist hydra rescue moisturizing makeup. And I finally tried the Sydney Grace eyeshadows and they are now my favorite. Thank you for all your hard work. Have a wonderful New Year.

[@heathermargison-hillyer6531]

I love your recommendations! Thank you for doing all of the hard work for us......and absolutely it’s ok to say you hate masks. Who the hell likes them? ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@llchapman1234]

Drug stores cosmetics are really upping their game! 😁💕

[@valeriekingsbury3394]

So many good products this year at the drugstore! Love the candid concealer and the foundation too. Also agree on the Lifter glosses. Definitely a standout for the year. And yes. I’m tired of masks too. I’ve bought so many eyeshadow palettes to make up for not buying lip products 😂

[@kekkelpenneypeckeltoot5700]

Thank you for wearing such a lovely bright top! I’m so happy you’re not stuck in the idea of dark vampy colors for fall/winter. It’s dark and dull enough! You look stunning!! Thank you for turning me on to the candid concealer! I love it so much with my wet n wild dewy foundation or the urban coverage!

[@davinastacey8738]

Plus, it is actually summer in my part of the world. Happy new year everyone.

[@sarahwalden178]

I was thinking about my drugstore favorites of the year yesterday (I love to do makeup based on a theme 🤪) and those were my top two foundations as well! My skin is really dehydrated, not so much dry, and that WNW foundation actually has a much better wear time on me-it definitely lasts a whole day. I feel like it is just made for dehydrated skin. I can’t believe I slept on that one for so long!

[@kathryn3223]

Hi Lady....Happy New Year! I was watching one of your videos and saw that you really like ColorPop’s Super Shock Blush in ‘Between the Sheets’. The first color I ever bought was ‘Prenup’, which is a nice cool pink. I really think you should try it...it will look stunning on you. I’ve used mine to the very bottom of the pan...first time ever with a blush. I just saw it on Ulta’s website. Looking forward to hearing if you try it❣️ BTW...love your videos ❣️ Very entertaining 😉

[@mrsmileva5337]

I'm definitely look into more affordable makeup options this year. My favorite lip products are the maybelline new gloss and the Essence cream semi mat lipstics. They are sooo good. You should try them.

[@philippaolson7854]

The only concealer I have that rivals the Revlon Candid is the No7 Lift and Luminate. I am happy to have found a cruelty-free drugstore option 🙌🏼 The Candid one is beautiful though and I tried it based on your reviews, so thank you very much!

[@barnes-md7mf]

My favorite drugstore find of the year is Covergirl Clumpcrusher mascara in brown. "My eyelashes but better," holds a curl, doesn't smudge on me and easy to take off.

[@TamarasTimelessBeauty]

I adore the Almay Lip Vibes, the packaging and names make me happy. My favorite is Be Strong. Perfect for 2020 🥰

[@tammyherrera7262]

I fell in love with the Physicians Formula X Weylie palette. It’s so beautiful with the 2 bronzers, 2 blushes & 2 highlighters. 😊❤️💄

[@sarahwalden178]

Yes!!! This is such a beautiful palette! I thought it was discontinued but then I saw a whole new stack in my target. I like these blush and highlight shades better than any that are in their permanent line. SO glad to hear another person mention it!

[@amelniczenko]

Maybelline lipsticks are my FAVORITE formula. They are consistently the best at the drugstore. I love Romantic Rose, too! I wore it today!

[@taramisu9978]

Yay for the NYX Butter glosses! Tiramisu and Praline are my favorites too. I have thought about trying Creme Brulee but I figure it's similar to Tiramisu and I figure I don't need both. But Tiramisu is the only pink lip product that looks decent on me. I am really glad NYX didn't discontinue these because a couple years ago it looked like they were going to.

[@margarethenning1298]

Hello Mandy - I recently (like yesterday recently) found your channel. I am 52 and have been taking down notes on your recommendations. For years my routine was about 5 minutes.....cover the circles - throw some mascara on and that was that. Over the last couple of years I have taking more time for me. Purchasing different products to try. Actually wearing eyeshadow and I LOVE how my eyes look. I am excited to watch more of your videos.

[@chericoffman6321]

I love me some good drugstore makeup. It’s much fun!

[@Tarot-Destiny]

You look beautiful!! Somehow my collection ended up more high end than not. One drugstore foundation I love is the L’Oréal Infallible Freshwear foundation. It is an awesome foundation. I really don’t have anything negative to say about it. You have some awesome drugstore products in your collection. I really enjoyed hearing about your faves of the year! 💚💜💚💜💚

[@mistytells]

People know you know the good drugstore makeup. You have way more view than most other people I watch. 💚

[@rebeccaprendergast4765]

Wow Brow is awesome, I use black ❤️

[@sarahwalden178]

Potted Concealer Recommendation: I have been so blown away by the Undone Beauty 3-in-1 concealer (we have the same skin tone and I wear the shade Buttercream Light Medium). It has three levels of opacity in one pot, in three strips: sheer, medium, and full. I can use the medium under my eyes and on my nose and chin, the full for blemishes, and the sheer for any touch ups or easy light coverage on days Im not wearing foundation. It is hydrating and blends beautifully and I have since tried their potted cream Blushes and powder and lip products... I’m obsessed. But the concealer is the best. It does have coconut in it and I know that can break some people out-I’ve had no issues with it but wanted to offer that word of warning. It is a fabulous concealer.

[@mistytells]

Yes! The Lifter Gloss. I have Moon. I need more. Just bought one because of corona. Moon is so good. You need that one next.

[@kimchichick]

I live in Korea & I love the Juicy Pang water blushers!!!! They are BOMB!

[@av4275]

I have oily skin and believe it or not the wet n wild dewy foundation has been my go to! It does last on me all day at work, even with my mask on. I do have to blot and powder throughout the day but it still look beautiful on my skin 😊

[@melissaluvsplease1664]

Thank you for still having up your Christmas decorations!!! I just watched Emily Noel's latest video and she brought up how she leaves her Christmas decor up until at least New Years and I am a leave it up until New Years person. There can be so much stress before Christmas and I find I enjoy it most the week after.

[@debradowling800]

We always leave ours up untill Jan. 6.

@@debradowling800 I have a 1 year old grandson and this year that tree will be coming down Jan. 3rd. LOL We take care of our 3 year old grand daughter and that sweet little boy starting again on the 4th. I can not tell you how many times I saw him walking away from that tree with 2 chubby little fists of ornaments.....He can play with all of the new toys Grandma and Grandpa got him. : ) Enjoy your extra week!!!

[@allisonwhisler4149]

Nude Lust is my favorite drugstore lipstick. I keep one in my purse and one on my makeup drawer.

[@mirandaquinnn]

So many treasures. If Drugstore make-up had better packaging I'd buying more drugstore make up products, but I'm a sucker for beautiful, great quality package.

[@cnadia2428]

Lol! ‘I will always choose cake.’ Girl-me too! I have 4 or 5 of the lifter glosses-love them. I have super dry lips and it seems to soak up the lifter glosses where it doesn’t bother me to wear them under masks

[@mistytells]

I have moon. I need to get more. I love it.

[@cassandraqcassandraq5510]

Happy New Year!

[@1liberaldem]

I've been loving ColourPop palettes! Yep, I've bought a lot of the releases this year, after finally discovering the brand! Sydney Grace (Enduring Love), Persona Identity and Juvia's Place. Oh, and even tho it's been around a long time, I discovered The Ordinary coverage foundation. Fantastic coverage for just $7!

[@magpiesneedle2575]

Not being able to get Colorpop is like a knife to my heart (I live in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿).

[@dorcasgilbert1575]

I have extremely dry skin & I found my wear & wild & it looks so good on my skin

[@mmkline1989]

I keep hesitating on the Water Blushers - but I have several Flower Blush Bombs so perhaps my hesitation was a good thing. The Lifter gloss is really nice. My most used drugstore products this year were the Wow Brow gel and L’Oréal Lumi Bronzer.

[@JoBisbee]

I love blushes, right under eye palette. I love Patrick Ta duo blusher, but pricey. I stumbled upon an Audra at Home live chat. She had this incredible eye look. It was from the Nomad's Berlin palette. I purchased and love that palette. It is not your average colored palette, but beautiful on the eye.

[@taraball1030]

You look so pretty!! Pleeaasse tell me you are doing a "Worst of" video!! Lol.
