One thing that is often overlooked is consistency. I'm 53 and up until maybe a year or so ago, I have always used Olay, St.Ives, Freeman, Dove & Nivea products. All drugstore. And, for an old broad, my skin is doing pretty good! I've been consistent with always taking care of my skin since I was 18 and started with Oil of Olay, always washing my makeup off, staying out of the sun, etc. Consistency is key. 💖😎👍🤭 And NO CIGARETTES! 💖😉👍

[@beautifulandbothered]

Preach!!! ❤️🙏🏼

omg...i started with noxema during my teens esp during my period..... dont be mad....but kesha needs too just move on... quit complaining and move on... these days ppl hang on too everything and as women i know ive been through alot but move on.... get up dust yourself off and move on chin up even when you dont want too and then one day you wont think of it and then a week and then a month.... love from canada

[@beardoodle9835]

@Christine Danis I understand what you're saying, and while that is good advice, there's things that happen in people's lives that they have to mentally and physically work through, and art is an excellent way to do that. I'm a sexual assault, physical assault survivor, and if I was musically talented enough to write songs about it, I would. And it happened 30 years ago, and it still affects my daily life, even though I absolutely DO NOT want it to. PTSD for survivors is real, and her writing songs about it is good, even if it's not a chart topper. 💜

The song “Right Round” was originally released in the 80’s by a band called Dead Or Alive. Great club song!

[@monicareno4088]

Actually, I think the one by Flo Rida is a remake. Some of the lyrics are a little different.

[@stacyjane8014]

Thank you for your opinions on the Elf Camo Concealer. Everyone raves about it, and I’m over here thinking it’s yellow and I must be doing something wrong

[@christinagarcia6648]

Same 😂

[@chanmer1]

I was obsessed with Kevin's face in this video. His makeup was amazing. That is exactly how I want my makeup. Just looked so flawless and minimal. I have to come back and take notes on this video. So many brands that I actually know and use. I can't wait for the high end version.

[@mlisakiser3763]

YASSS!!

[@eewahnah]

I went on a Kesha binge with these two singles, because it feels like you immerse in it especially to folks with severe anxiety due to trauma, yet still holding onto the innocence before it

[@breannesmith8580]

I'm 27 and roller rinks were a big thing when I was in elementary school and the roller rink #1 song that they played in my home town was "Yeah" by Usher and I loved every minute of it 😂

[@HazyDaze.]

Thank you for this. Drugstore store makeup isn’t covered enough on beauty yt. I watched this with a notepad and now I have a list of products to try! It’s great that you gave Angie from Hot and Flashy a shout out. She deserves it!

[@kellygreengables3936]

Drugstore makeup is absolutely covered a lot on YT lol it just depends on who you watch.

[@MyCleverHandle]

Absolutely! Lots of drugstore makeup being shown on YT, which makes sense since the quality AND the prices are catching up to midrange and sometimes high-end faster than we can keep up on our own!

[@pragyasingh2297]

SAMEEEEE

[@LifeStyleResearch]

When you talked about skincare, think outside the drugstore but staying in drugstore prices: the ordinary is inexpensive and usually in target as well as ulta and Sephora, and a lot of Korean and Japanese skincare is similarly priced but usually found online. Get a basic cleanser, a serum that addresses a skincare concern, a long-term moisturizer either for day or night, and maybe an eye cream if your skin is on the drier side. Add in a exfoliant once or twice a week. Can be done at the drugstore, just research your ingredients.

[@MyCleverHandle]

I've been finding worthy Korean products in the travel/ sample bins at WalMart! Nice stuff for $5. or $9.!

[@Ali_OT7]

I love that Walmart carries kbeauty now! It holds me over between trips to Ulta.

[@chuckychic01]

Thanks to Robert Welsh I've been on that Beauty Bay eyeshadow train for a few years! I used the large nude palette for my wedding and it was on sale for $10. I left my Pat McGrath and Natasha Denona palettes at home. It was Beauty Bay and Tati for the wedding/honeymoon trip.

[@masc4mascara39]

LOL I clocked it too, takes one to know one I guess 😂

[@kuromameshiba4418]

My everyday brown mascara is Heroine Make by Isehan. I can usually get away with their Curl Keep Mascara Base in Clear Brown by itself since it's a pretty reddish brown and waterproof.

[@jojomarch]

saved this on Yes Style, thank you!

[@rainydays9967]

The Colourpop No Filter and Nyx Can’t Stop Won’t Stop loose powder are the only ones that go under my eyes, they are so finely milled and do not accentuate my fine lines, whilst also blurring my pores

[@Giggle_Pop]

Wow!! I’m old! The conversation around roller rink parties sent me into complete “Blast from the Past” mode. I was born in 1968. A large portion of the late 70’s early 80’s were spent at the roller rink. The 2 most played songs were Tears of a Clown by Smokey Robinson and Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf. 😂😂. Also, I would love to see a breakdown of high end products worth the price. You guys are doing an awesome job!

[@Hgeorgia]

I was born in 1994 and we had a huge roller rink in our town and so many parties there when I was really little. My mum’s a 69 baby, and I remember her taking me to these parties telling me about how she used to go to roller rinks when she was little too!

[@laurencool9926]

Would love to see luxury makeup that’s actually worth it! ❤

[@abookishmess]

Okay Kevin look like he could be one of the Sprouse brothers at 19:08 😂

[@naxp42]

The rant about Kesha is why I'm relistening to the episode. She's so under appreciated, love her songwriting and music. 🥲

[@LynneMadison0731]

Kev:"I love it" Johnny:( nodding) "what is the name of that song?" Kevin "I love it" Johnny: (loading..) "OH!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you guys crack me up!

[@beautifulandbothered]

A true “who’s on first” moment 😂

[@LynneMadison0731]

@Beautiful And Bothered Podcast yes! We have all been there! 😄

[@abookishmess]

BH cosmetics were my starting brand. Drugstore makeup wasn't really in my shade. Mac was the first time I fell in love with makeup. I got it professionally done by a really sweet MUA. I didn't want to wash it off I was so amazed 😂

[@libertychic8926]

Ppl deeefinetly sleep on Bebe!!!! I've loved her since I Can't Stop Drinking About You!

[@lotte4369]

For the red headed girlies who want a brown mascara, I personally really enjoyed the Elf Lash it Loud brown mascara! The wand is really sharp so you really don't want to poke yourself with it, but the color was a lot more natural on my eyes than black mascara is!

[@jojomarch]

ooh thanks I will try that one! I'm using lash paradise in brown and also really like the Kiko brown (and burgundy ones)

[@sharonsomers5342]

If you do a breakdown by skin tone, I would love that. I would need to be a series, but yes. Amazing. I used to be a very pale skin tone and in the 90's the only option was to add baby powder to the fairest one. Now that I'm older, I need one that hides and blends out the reddish skin tone I developed after decades of sun damage. And I would absolutely adore a little section of the end where you call out a "Save your Money" don't spend on something. That would be amazing. So many times I am swayed by these amazing colors only to go home and the color density is awful or not true on skin. Throw some shade their way!!!

[@Haghenveien]

I have rosacea so redness is a big issue for me and I use The Corrector Anti-redness primer by Catrice. Love that product. It's the best product of that kind I have ever tried. It doesn't have the white base other green colour correctors have. And it's so light that I can use it all over my face without looking heavy. I can even use it on its own when I don't what to use anyother makeup.

[@MyCleverHandle]

Moody rosacea and weird pigmentation/age spots make color matching impossible with liquid or cream foundations. I use tinted mineral sunscreens with BareMinerals OG Original loose mineral powders dusted and buffed over top. 20+ years of this.

[@kellygreengables3936]

Edit: To clarify, BH Cosmetics did file for bankruptcy but they were bought by Makeup Revolution. So their products are available where MUR is sold!! Haven't watched the whole video and this is gonna sound weird but Kevin looks great in this orange hat and Sasha Colby merch!

[@beautifulandbothered]

Ahhh thank you good to know!! ❤

[@MyCleverHandle]

Yes, but Revolution did NOT keep the same BH eyeshadow formulas. Jen Phelps did a good video about this awhile back, and I trust her try-ons. I've seen the new generation Revolution-produced BH eyeshadows at TJMaxx and Marshall's stores, and the pans are tiny. In one respect, that's good - if you buy at super discount like $5.99 for a four-pan at TJMaxx, you're more likely to use them up before you get bored and toss them, but if the quality isn't there, my money won't be either, I don't care how cheap they are.

[@carriekennedy5903]

I wonder if they’re using BH formulations in the Makeup Revolution line carried in Walmart. I bought a few items to try and they did remind me of BH. Hmmm. Makes sense to use BH for an affordable Walmart line.

[@kellygreengables3936]

@@carriekennedy5903 I'm not sure! As Cathy said, people like Jen Phelps have said the new BH eyeshadow quality isn't as good as the old one, but maybe the formulas will remain the same for other types of products? I'm unsure because Makeup Revolution has SO many products and sub lines that their product formulas can be inconsistent.

[@kellygreengables3936]

@@MyCleverHandle I saw that video as well! I am wondering if this change was JUST for the quads or if it will extend to the Revolution made BH palettes too. I agree with your point though, an affordable product should still have some quality.

[@betsysloan4619]

Our skin is the canvas! We must do skin care for make up to look the best! I think people need to realize especially older women that less is better! Makeup should enhance not look like a Halloween mask! 😅😂 I am 65 and I get compliments on my skin!❤

I'm so glad u mentioned that the lightest elf contour IS an actual contour, people keep saying they aren't contours and I'm yelling at my phone "the light one really is though!!"

[@redblackwhitestripes]

This is absolutely my new favorite podcast I wish there were more to binge

[@libertychic8926]

Yes!!!! I try telling everyone, u have to do your skincare! Think of an artist laying paint on a canvas. It has to be perfect or it will show every lil thing! When u take care of your skin and do your skin prep the makeup u put down will also be perfect! (Speaking reality here, not perfect but u know what I mean.) Skincare is so important and start early!!!!! I wish I had! But since I have the last 7 yrs or so, my skin has been sooo much better!!!!!

[@ashleydawn5911]

Kesha does deserve more recognition!! When I was in high school all I listened too was her and gaga and that's it lol but anyway love you both!!❤❤❤❤

[@MyCleverHandle]

Hey guys, I couldnt agree more about Elf's Camo concealer. The two colors I bought are living in my toolbox, they'll be wall spackle the next time I paint. But the HYDRATING Camo is a different story...softer, more fluid, satiny finish and beautiful shades for pinker undertones. You might also try color/tone adjusters by NYX or L.A. Girl if you find a texture product you love that's just the wrong color.

[@amberr6]

Saw this today and knew I immediately needed to share with you guys: Maybelline was created by a teenage boy! For his sister way back when! Glad you both found space in this world for what you love, thanks for sharing your stories ❤

My first purchase was Mac conceal if we’re talking as a no child. As a child it was lip smackers and those big trunk things with everything in it and the free eyeshadow samples from like ysl, Estee Lauter, Gucci, Clinique ect ect idk how or why they had those ashy one big color or 4 little circle eyeshadow pans I think they gave it to my mom when she bought perfume.

Boys, what do you think of Wet & Wild Photo Focus foundation for mature skin? It's the one I use. And I love it. And the translucent powder I absolutely LOVE.

[@monicareno4088]

My Morphe Artistry palette and my Hindash palette are my two go to palettes for just about every look. I love them and I can create so many looks with just those two palettes.

[@monicareno4088]

I have oily skin and have found that the e.l.f oil control primer mist works really well with keeping my makeup in place and keeping my oils at bay.

Also random note, I will always remember the first time I ever heard Lady Gaga. I was driving home with my dad from going to college open houses and poker face came on the radio. She was like the literal kick off to my life on my own starting, Gagas been there from the start

Johnny, you've been one of my top go-to beauty creators since I first stumbled upon you last year. I'm so glad you brought Kevin on permanently. You both are so lovely. Also, yes, heartbreakingly, my beloved BH was bought by grody-ass Makeup Revolution last year. I'm sure they're going to cheapen, if not completely ruin, the magnificence that was BH eyeshadow and the unbelievable quality of their products

[@Hgeorgia]

I’m praying that Make up revolting take the opportunity to use the BH formula in their own products instead of destroying their magnificence.

[@MyCleverHandle]

That ignorance of BU's superior eyeshadow formula by Revolution has already happened. Look back at Jen Phelps, she did swatches and showed us truly 👎 performance awhile back.

[@tiffanygreen2359]

The thing about Kesha I loved one of her albums with the song praying that whole album got me through a horrendous break up, but she was abused by that music producer Luke something and he has a lot of strength and power respect in the music industry, and when she came out publicly with the accusation, he tried to ruin her career. That’s why she didn’t win the awards and that’s what makes her that much more successful. Because she has somebody actively trying to hold her down so she had to work 10 times harder than most singers for her career so much respect. The music producer, Luke is like the music version of Harvey Weinstein. Lots of singers mom work with him I think Paul Kelly Clarkson, maybe Gwen Stefani. but the courts wouldn’t let her out of the contract that she had with the producer, she went to court for years, and the court forced her to continue to work with her. I think what he did to her was horrendous. She’s a survivor for sure. Much respect.
