BEST OF BEAUTY 2021: My MOST used makeup

[@tracylmax]

With attention spans growing ever shorter and beauty KZbin moving toward more of a shorts/speed reviews format (which I can enjoy, don't get me wrong!), it's so nice to see someone thoughtfully immerse themself in makeup. Your descriptions are so vivid and lush, and then you back them up with fantastic demos. I really hope your channel explodes this year. ;-)

[@AmandaZ]

🥺🥺❤️

[@CJ-eg6xg]

With zero exaggeration, this is my most anticipated and favorite video on KZbin all year!!! Merci!

[@AmandaZ]

🥲🥲🥲🥲

[@paulamorris7466]

CT oyster pearl is so gorgeous!! Like a champagne bronze

[@celiatambor7205]

I really love how you create a cat eye shape with the CT oyster pearl. I gotta try that to open up my hooded lids

[@taraball1030]

I was impatiently waiting for this video from you!! Lol. I always trust your recommendations!!! Happy New Year!!! 😉

[@shelbyanumandla7499]

I love how you showed application of each product. Thank you!

[@AmandaZ]

Thank you Shelby ☺️!! I hope they are helpful

[@marytremblay9174]

Despite our age difference (I'm 57 😎), your recommendations are spot on for what I'm looking for/need! Thanks for your helpful, well detailed videos. ❤️

[@MT-rl3rx]

Amanda, I knew almost every product that would be on your list but I still loved listening to you rave about makeup you truly adore and use! It’s a testament to the quality of the products and your integrity when you recommend things to your viewers. I’ve bought several items on your recommendation and you haven’t failed me yet! Happy 2022 ✨✨

[@nupt9473]

I so appreciate that you cut to application for all the products, it's so helpful. Most creators just do a few or not at all. Thank you! 👏 Edited to say I subscribed!

[@idalarsson4729]

You have in a short period of time become one of my top 5 to watch! Looking forward to all of your upcomming ( best of ) videos! 💕

[@dessytalks]

Thank you for this video! All the work you put into showing and explaining each and every product is absolutely amazing!

[@Alfakkin]

Thank you for telling us about your trusted products...I'm going to check them...ciao from Italy 🇮🇹

[@rebeccahegewald9170]

You are my best beauty KZbinr of 2021! I have purchased and loved several of your recommendations this year and I’m so grateful! Your demos of each product go ABOVE AND BEYOND what others do just holding up a product and talking about it. I can tell you put so much work into every single video. There are so many influencers out there that only focus on what’s new - it’s hard to know what they really love. With you I always know, and therefore trust your recommendations. Thank you so much! You’ve been a blessing to me this year. ❤️

[@AliaslsailA]

I'm so incredibly happy that I've found your channel a cuppe months ago. Your taste in makeup is exactly what I like and everything you show gets me really excited. Hadn't had that with makeup for a long time. Thank you ❤️

[@jessicak.3959]

Great suggestions! That NARS Fabala lipstick is gorgeous.😍 I'm definitely getting those Rare Beauty brushes. Can't wait to see what's to come from you!

[@tiffanydiggs1664]

Love a lot of the same products. Was excited to see what your best of beauty choice we’re going to be. Always enjoy your videos.

[@claireplauche7724]

Your eyebrows are just...everyThing! Thanks for these tips n products!💎💎

[@TheSim1derful]

I get soooooo excited when I see an over 30 minute video from you! Trust me when I say your audience is MORE than here for the long vids

[@TheGinger73]

Finally I found someone with my skin tone and a fellow ginger! Love the makeup recommendations. So excited to try some of these products! ♥️

[@cesm3527]

Great year end roundup. I love your skill at analysis. So helpful and interesting. Makeup is so much more than liking a colour or trying a trend.

[@VadaSouth]

I finally have the Charlotte Tilbury Oyster Pearl in my cart after seeing you rave about it for so long. Can't wait to try it! Also I would love to know what eyeshadow you have on in the brow gel clip, it's stunning too!

[@emilykathrynwinship4129]

Do we know what eyeshadow she's wearing in this video?

[@Portia1416]

Charlotte tilbury oyster pearl has been my holy grail one look eye shadow for years. I love it!

[@ShanrellsStash]

I just purchased the shade Rosewood in the Undone beauty formula and I love it! Such a gorgeous color.

[@Nini-tj6se]

You look absolutely gorgeous, love your makeup look and hair color

[@supertouchapp1905]

We need more series like these! Really loved all your suggestions, as genuine as it gets. The lipstick shade 28:30 is exactly what we were looking for. It's great for a minimalistic look. A subtle sheer lipstick is what you should always keep in your bag. Thanks once again Amanda!!

[@CajunistaAnya]

So happy I’ve found your channel! I have hollow under eyes and dark circles and dry skin and your Kosas recommendation is AMAZING! I love it! Love your content, I’ve never tried cream shadows but I did order some after watching your videos and I’m loving those as well! Thanks so much for all the wonderful videos!

[@janmarchand7294]

Took your advice and purchased the Rare Beauty Foundation Brush and you were right! It has become my favorite foundation brush.

[@kathleenrutherford733]

Thank You so much ❤ much love and Respect, you are truly amazing, amazing how much research and analysis I am forever grateful for your channel and your passion for great makeup

[@stelaidrizi]

I loved this! I am mostly interested in trying the shiseido foundation.... once I finish the one I have open.

[@elizabethjohnson6773]

I love these kind of videos! I am also excited to see another “wet look” video in the works!! ❤️

[@Brigitte_Cantin]

OMG, I absolutely love all of your looks, so many videos I've done trying to emulate you, even now, I'm getting ready to do another one because I am doing a shiseido try on for the first time I bought it because of you lol. I just wish Ulta would ship to Canada like it used to because I cannot get their products 😭 thank you so much for everything you have shown me. You are also responsible for my love of cream products which, as far as I'm concerned are better for my 54 year old skin 🤣💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@S.Ja.]

I love the blushes from Kjär Weiss !

[@elizabethtangora4353]

Same! I tried one after I saw a recommendation here and I love it so much.

[@claireplauche7724]

Perfect reviews, some out of the way products and to me, that lets me know that you are looking far and wide in a sincere way. You sparkle!

[@genericrobin6597]

I challenge you to find an affordable option for your beloved Bobbi Brown face base. Since I've never tried it, I'll leave it to you to discover a good comparative product. :). Been meaning to ask if you apply it over sunscreen? p.s. You're the only content maker who actually describes the product in useful detail. Most just say if they like it. You're the best!

[@Bella-tj4ti]

I love UD Space Cowboy! It makes every look, look better every single time! I have re-purchased it many times and have hit pan many times! I will always have it.

[@heididay6698]

Oh my gosh, I’m so excited for your upcoming best of 2021 lip products. I’m obsessed with lip products, specifically glosses and balms and I’ve gotten several products based your recommendations (in fact, I just bought a Lano lip balm today and LOVE it). Thank you for all the great info and reviews!

[@tharzanne]

I've been so excited for this video! And after that intro, I am even more excited about the upcoming best of cream eyeshadows video!!!

[@MsEclectic]

Amazing picks😍👌🏽 You have really become my go to for product recommendations for natural, skin like and pretty looks. I bought Nars Dolce Vita lipstick in Jan 2021 and I finished it in 10 months. Love LOVE that lipstick😍

[@relishriley]

To anyone watching this video: the Ulta liquid shadows and twisted volume mascara are on sale right now! 50% off :) I already have a many of the liquid shadows, but I picked up the mascara, and it's great!!

[@karakomp5119]

The liquid shadows are the best!!!

[@theredderthebetter1]

I have red hair and wear the same foundation shade as you. Your recommendations are super helpful and I have enjoyed all of the products I’ve picked up after watching your videos. Thank you for always giving great, useful information and demos. 👩🏻‍🦰❤️👍🏻

[@HAILZMOLINATION]

I would love to see “best barely there eyeshadows” i love to wear eyeshadows that give a super subtle color or the eye and have a bit of something special!

[@Sillydolly03]

I am obsessed with the Rare beauty foundation and concealer brush! Thank you for always giving such great beauty recommendations ♥️

[@victoriahansen3344]

Thanks for your videos!! My most fav. channel ❤

[@marinamalik7607]

Thank you for another beautiful video! Loads of very useful information and great presentation.

[@meganowen2101]

Yippeee! I resigned myself to the fact that you weren’t doing a best of… so I am delighted to watch this! Thank you Amanda

[@vq.5221]

Hands down - I will try everything you recommended

[@cesm3527]

Would you consider a video on cream bronzer that identifies the undertones and colour nuances such as pink, yellow, green, cool brown, warm brown etc… it would be very helpful.

[@butterneko]

i love your hairstyle!!! i would like to see a tutorial on how you did it if you styled it yourself ❤️

[@fitfatbrittrny]

I finally got the Ulta cream eyeshadows today! Can’t wait to try them! Also totally appreciate how much work you put into Your videos!

[@carols.4252]

That Vitamin Face Base is fabulous. It is great skin care, too. The only caution is the scent.

[@valerieavezard6]

Hello Amanda, Thank you for your work. Would it be possible to make a special video about your best brushes for cream products Encore merci

[@pao3292]

Love love love this longer videos, especially about favorites

[@cflex7914]

I have been waiting for this video!! I live for your recommendations. Can’t wait for all the follow up videos as well!

[@cindicleee]

Loved this and all your descriptions 😍😍

[@Beautydemos]

Wow I want to get the physicians formula spray!

[@m4tcha8]

Amanda, I need to know: what is on your lips in the Charlotte Tilbury highlighter application shots? That lipstick looks so beautiful on you!

[@tanyaortiz8053]

Pleaseeee do a tutorial on how you define the eyes with cream shadow! Looking forward to dip my feet into those this year but I'm a bit intimidated! Love your videos. Hugs from El Salvador!

[@sarahferguson0]

I'm about to spend some of my holiday gift card funds. Your videos always help me narrow down what i'm looking to purchase. I have a list but was waiting on these videos to make some cuts. I really value your opinions.

[@kodysmama]

LOVE the Ulta matte shadows. YES they need more colors!

[@jennyelledge566]

I really love your deep dives and way you construct your videos!

[@JLeigh75309]

My skin can't tolerate chemical sunscreens, which is nearly always what manufacturers include in foundation. I'm dying for you to pick up the new CT foundation and compare it to the Shiseido. I'm on a no buy but for foundation.

[@denisecohen9061]

You are a Lovely & Sincere Lady I Completely Relate To Your Opinions & Reasons Happy Healthy New Year ❤️ I just Ordered The Nars Lipstick The Lighter Shade Thanks XXXO

[@itsCaseyWilson_Beauty]

I’ve been so excited for this video, and am loving the unexpected surprise of more 2021 favorites videos to come! Also…Ulta needs to give you a sponsorship for their cream matte shadows. You’re the only one I hear talk about them and they’re great! Never would have tried them had you not talked about them so much. ☺️

[@amylage4054]

You turned me onto Kosas concealer this year and now it’s my HG.! This is after years of trying all the concealers and nothing being exactly what I wanted/needed. Thanks Amanda.! Happy new year

[@TrangNguyen-fq6dg]

Just love your channel ♥️

[@makingitup_byisa]

Ok that Ulta Beauty mascara looks unreal 😍Great product lineup babe!

[@xlaughing]

I finally bought CT Oyster Pearl after eyeing it in your videos for years, it’s so beautiful but I’m torn! The color and shimmer really is so unique, the texture is so creamy and light and blends out so effortlessly, but it creases on me and I don’t usually have issues with creasing (I guess that’s how it looks so creamy and glossy though). Will have to figure out a way to make it work because it’s so pretty!

[@Portia1416]

It creases but it’s easy to fix on the go. Just use your finger and press it in and it will fix itself. I’ve been using it for years.

[@misaetmi]

try using an eye primer and let it dry down and pat out creases before adding the CT also use powder to set the eyelid or - eye primer -> powder -> oyster for extreme hold lol

[@lescarb1]

You turned me on to the tarte cc under eye corrector and the kosas concealer, so thank you for that! The maybelline is too dry for my under eyes.

[@Alishawlk]

Do you like Tarte one? Which one is more melting into the skin? Maybelline is toooo dry for me too, emphasizes texture, I’m afraid to try kosas now, but I tried Ilia one and its not bad at all. Still wanna try Kosas cause Amanda looks flaawwlesss with itt💔

[@lescarb1]

@@Alishawlk Kosas is actually great if you have dry under eyes. The Tarte one has been good for me too. They're the only two that I've found that work for me. Haven't tried the Ilia.

[@shellierichards7128]

I am laughing my A$$ off because I ALREADY KNOW before watching your videos that it's going to cost me money! hahahaha!! Your recommendations always work out for me (I'm 55 yo this year) Fortunately, I already own so many of these products based on your previous videos!!!!!! I love so many of these products--where to begin--and they are all in my top/holy grail categories. I will suggest a few lippe items--the Tarte Maracuja lip balm and the Milk Makeup Kush Lip balm--very different formulas but both feel and look great on the lips for a natural everyday lip!

[@audreyarend9954]

I’ve been waiting for this video! Really appreciate the thought and effort you put into your content. Great recommendations! Have you seen the new synchro skin tint from shiseido? I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on that as well as the concealer in that line.

[@hechoz4267]

You’re my favorite beauty KZbinr, please don’t change.

[@lm-ur7cd]

Omg I CANT wait for a 2021 most used eyeshadows video

[@lisarado4168]

You are my favorite utuber ... always aside time to watch and enjoy your videos!

[@HayleyMarie111]

🙂 thank you for this. I'm still waiting on my radient lifting foundation 😪 I really hope it isn't lost in the mail.

[@MK-fi2bp]

Hope Shiseido one day makes the foundation without the SPF, which breaks me out :(

[@ylio_66t]

please test out rare beauty's new blush brush, it looks to be a very useful shape

[@julievenus3670]

Love your videos, but have to add 2 products of MAC that are my Holy Grail that totally surprised me. MAC EXTRA DIMENSION EYESHADOWS in Smokey Mauve - and Sweet Heat - soft peach pink (still want to try Stolen Moment, a dark taupe). At 64 yo, I've struggled with many powder ES, and also some of the liquids. These MAC Extra Dimension ES's are "a hybrid formula that combines the smoothness of a cream, the blendabiility of a liquid and a finish of a powder with long wearing color and prismatic reflections. Its creamy, silky, near fluid formula creates luminous, well defined eyes in finishes from sheer crystallized light to stunning metallic ", Let me state, it's so creamy that I apply with my finger, and not one bit of fallout, also giving that wet look. Does not settle into lines, or my 64 yo crepey lid areas. Also, MAC GLOW PLAY BLUSHES! So Natural color is just that. It melts into skin, stays on, even with mask wearing, and is delightful. I own about 4 different colors, So Natural, and Blush Please are my favorites. Just had to add these 2 MAC experiences to this video.

[@jordanblack5608]

Hey, Amanda! Love your videos, and I was so excited for this! I had a question on the Physicians Formula spray - does it have a weird smell? I tried this, and noticed mine has kind of a sour smell… just checking to see if that’s normal?

[@katemarie3554]

YES!!! Mine 100% smells kind of like spoiled milk… Or some thing like that. I check the comment section of Amanda‘s videos whenever she mentions that product because I want to see if anyone else’s also smells or if it’s just me! I’m glad you said something so I know I’m not the only one. Lol I will say that I’ve used it underneath my make up for a few months, and I can tell my skin really likes it. Just hate the smell.

[@kate.m8499]

Your best of 2021 beauty is the one i look forward to the most. I literally checked your channel for the past 2 weeks. Lol! So excited to hear there will be more than 1 video!

[@jennypie1903]

Cannot wait for the videos you mentioned ❤

[@Youwinmeta]

Do you put sunscreen on before or after the bobbi brown primer? I wear mineral sunscreen and I’m worried it will break it down!

[@sheilzmel]

Will you try Victoria Beckham's lid lustres this year? I really want to know if tea rose is similar to chanel's new moon!

[@Jackie-is5kp]

Love the rare beauty Brushes! So under talked about. Yes please do a video on brushes thanks for such a great channel happy new year. Hugs Tampa

[@lhun3952]

Hi Amanda, Have you tried the Makeup By Mario Crystal Reflector? Talk about wet look eyes! 😍

[@alexmora8527]

Hey @Amanda Z! Ulta has four new bouncy cream eyeshadow shades and also your favorite matte cream eyeshadow is 50% off right now!

[@stephjs1]

Hi Amanda, this video is so useful and I love getting some exposure to new HG products! We cannot get Physicians formula in Australia which is a bummer as I have dry skin and need a hydrating setting spray to give my makeup that extra boost. Have you any other recommendations? Thank you

[@IdzieDesmarais]

Looking forward to those other videos, and happy to see this one!! Though I'd also love to see a best of blushes video... ;)

[@leahrosin1439]

If you do another dupes video in the future, I’d love for you to find a shade dupe for Charlotte Tilbury Oyster Pearl!

[@cflex7914]

I find the revlon cream eyeshadow in Caramel to be very similar! I have and love both.

[@marialaukaitis7371]

I wish I could use that Bobbi brown primer but my dry skin hates it :(. Makes me break out every time Ive tried it!

[@heathersargent289]

I have a sample of the shesiedo foundation i havent tried it yet cause I always thought it would be heavy and I have dry skin and like lighter coverage like skin tints but now I'm kinda excited to try it and see how it looks. I have never seen that Ulta mascara that looks pretty cool I'm gonna have to try it and the liquid shadow I have never bought Ulta's brand makeup before.

[@VanillaMoon7]

I´m curious which brush you are using when demonstrating the Kjaer Weis blushes? It looked like it might be a different brush than the rare beauty ones. Thanks in advance, you are inspiring me to dive more into creams, it always looks so incredible beautiful on you!

[@erinnswan7063]

The white brush with the white bristle would be from Phytosurgance.

[@debbierosenzweig8801]

Great informative video, Amanda!! So looking forward to your upcoming Best Of…… videos

[@merryme931]

I love the Anastasia brow wiz - used it for years but the spoolie ALWAYS breaks on me. 😭 so I switched to benefit’s precisely my brow.

[@ovalteenies93]

Oooh. Looking forward to your future content... you have me hooked. Happy New Year Amanda x

[@jennwald4469]

I just ordered the Kosas Revealer Concealer.

[@BrookeInProgress]

Kjaer Weis Inner Glow is my favorite blush of ALL TIME (and I’ve owned a fair few!). I was tempted by it before you ever mentioned it, but you were the one to finally make me bite the bullet. Zero regrets. Also, I’m so curious what you have on your eyes at 20:15 & at 23:56!

[@ambiu]

Would you be able to make a video on your most essential brushes?
