When she said "I created a spreadsheet for you and linked it below" I immediately clicked subscribe. I'm always down for some sort of organizational document, especially one for makeup. 🤓📈

[@kimebina2586]

You talking about fragrance free and good ingredients has me subscribing 💕🥺

[@juuustpeachy4880]

Yes to the speadsheets! When you go in, you go all in. That's dedication! Always appreciated. And happy birthday! 👏👏😍💜

[@Faves997]

The spreadsheet is so appreciated!! Thank you for taking the time to do that. Makeup specs can get so overwhelming when trying to make a purchase decision but putting them in a list format makes it all much more digestible.

[@karihendrix6491]

I've been considering a skin tint and trying to do my own research wasn't working out so well. Thanks so much for this video, and especially the spreadsheet. Super helpful!

[@gretamikus7664]

This is a holy grail of make up review videos. Side by side swatches and spreadsheets, oh my! Truly incredible. Thank you so much for the time and energy spent breaking the details in this fashion!

[@NikitaUnique]

I love spreadsheets! ❤️ Thank you so much for putting all of this together. You confirmed for me that Ilia’s version truly is the only one I can safely wear, which is what I suspected. Much appreciated! 😊

[@brooklynjb1250]

this helped me a lot & I've been looking at a lot of videos. Yours is the only one that gave enough information that I needed to hear for the right product to get. Go off girl you're doing it right!

[@salmonerds]

Thank you for posting! Your videos have been a real highlight for me in quarantine. Also, I've been listening to The Dream podcast because of your recommendation and it's been CHANGING MY LIFE

[@nuisan1]

Have a very Happy Birthday, Kackie! Appreciate the thorough review. Truly needed this. Thanks!

[@Lisa-bf4bg]

I ♥️ you Kackie! It's so refreshing to see somebody else who's into the minimalistic/ natural makeup look like me.

[@MoonPie44]

Omg, love this comparison! Exactly what I was looking for and there’s even a spreadsheet!! 💕 Thank you so much Queen!!

[@HollyIrene]

Kackie, your channel is SUCH a breath of fresh air on KZbin! Now that I’m 30, I am ALL ABOUT natural makeup, and light coverage and so many people only review full coverage, Instagram, cakey makeup. Thank you for focusing on ingredients, and fresh looks! 💕 much appreciated!

[@kimpop7767]

You really put so much effort and care into your content and it shows in every video. I really appreciate this! I am thinking about trying the Ilia and the Supergoop for the warmer months. Thanks for all you do!!!

[@maneeshabitta318]

Aww happy bday Kackie!! Your videos really are a bright spot anyway and especially now in these crazy times!! Hope you get some relaxation and have a chill fun day! Sending all the positive vibes ❤️

[@erinleighpil]

Happy Birthday tomorrow!!! I agree on the mental/physical fatigue...it’s just hanging over all of us. Keep it up and know that we appreciate your thorough content!

[@wendysutton7480]

Thank you so much for doing such a in-depth review & comparison we know we can count on you to give us all the deets Love how you put it on a scale & say that it's up to you what ticks the boxes for what you want/need

[@morgananger9699]

Happy Birthday!!!! You are such a breath of fresh air in the beauty community! Love your content so much! ❤️❤️

[@LoveZaley]

Loved this video and all the information! Thank you for all your creative hard work! Happy Birthday Kackie!!! 💛

[@aquamanion5704]

I’m not a crazy fan of the glossier skin tint, however I have recently been loving it! This is because I’ve been mixing it with one of my higher coverage foundations to sheer it out and make it more dewy. Btw this is an amazing video! I love you tubers who know their stuff and provide a bunch of information 🥰

[@ipurplebts6730]

I've watched this video a hundred times and i never get bored cause i love skin tints and your bubbly personality

[@sls1776]

Happy Birthday Kackie!! Wishing you the happiest of birthdays (and good health)!! And congrats on 30K subscribers!! I have been waiting for this video for awhile and it totally helps me narrow down my choices.

[@DontFluffTheFairies]

Happy birthday!!!! And thank you for the effort of the spreadsheet and the very comprehensive comparison you did here :)

[@ariannakane6716]

❤️❤️❤️this video! I learned so so much!!! I have been waiting so long for someone to break it down the way you just did! ❤️your channel so happy I found you! Happy Birthday from Houston 🎈

[@hillaryc7109]

The third skin vid I've watched and I'm subbed! Vibing with your makeup preference so much

[@joannabisceglia7689]

Thank you for all this info!! I know it was a lot of work to do all this and I appreciate it because it's super helpful!!

[@ourcozycorner8517]

Girl. You brought it. This was great! Thank you so much!

[@janethana]

Ahhhh yes girl 30K!! You seriously deserve it! You continuously make well thought out and well done content!! Also, Happy Birthday!!!!

[@savannahwinchell4644]

You're honestly the most thoughtful reviewer out there! Videos like this are so helpful and smart and I really appreciate that about your channel. Thank you!

[@kackie]

Thank you!!!

[@tofuinmyrari3302]

definitely so informative. thank you so much for all of your hard work! cant wait to try the elate products ❤️

[@sarahevans6322]

This is the video I’ve been dreaming of! Thank you!

[@gesmere]

Wow this is a perfect video - all of the products ive been looking at! thank you so much!!!

[@alanapalmer6048]

Happy birthday Kackie! This video is packed full of information I have been craving- thank you for being so detailed and thorough! I bought the cover girl in a shade too light and loved the texture- the next one I bought was the perfect shade but had little clumps in it! Perhaps it is similar to super goop where the texture changes with more pigment?

[@lilysophiejack]

Enjoyed the video as always. Happy Birthday Kackie! Hope you have a great day.

[@WifeyAustin]

My new favorite video!!!!! I love this and know I will watch it sooooo many times!!! Kosas is my favorite right now but I want to try a new one anytime I run out. Thanks Kackie!! Love this vid!!!@ and spreadsheet!

[@sarahmuller305]

The video I’ve been waiting for all of my life!!!

[@kitschykelly]

Oooh the spread sheet! You are my kind of girl! I subscribed after watching your Arrive review, but now I’m REALLY glad to have subscribed lol! I love a good skin tint too!

[@jcdmiranda9867]

I've been waiting for the courage to purchase my own kjaer weis foundation.... it's been two years lol BUT the fact that it's been a fav of yours for so long gets me that much closer to biting the bullet :)

[@taylordaydesigns]

A lot of your comments about the glossier skin tint was interesting, I find that for my skin, personally, I am able to do a lot of the things you say it can’t do. I’m able to layer it for more coverage and add all my usual powders on top. The beauty community really tends to hate on it but I love it! I guess it just meshes well with my skin. I just recently found your channel and am really enjoying your content and personality! ☺️

[@for3v3r3v3]

Yayyyy!!!! I've been waiting for this! Thank you!💕💕💕

[@brenna2563]

I love that you made a spreadsheet! Also I love seeing more Texans on KZbin!!!

[@sophiesays6610]

Love this video! I love the Supergoop CC cream; I bought it after I saw your 2019 video. I'm pretty new to your channel and your reviews are awesome! I'm always so lost in drugstore cosmetics. If its something that you're interested in, an elf video could be really helpful. I'm never sure about their products, but interested to see how they work for people.

[@ivorypetalz]

This video was so incredibly helpful, thank you! I really appreciate the hard work and thorough explanations of each of these. It definitely helped me narrow down my choices

[@kackie]

Thank you!! Thank you. I’m so glad.

[@12thchang]

Thank you, thank you so much for this! Very much appreciated for all the work that you put into this

[@krysdf]

Would love to see an updated video like this with the skin tints that have come out this year. Love these vids. I have lots of tints/sheer foundations but haven’t found my holy grail yet

[@alainagabrielson7148]

THANK YOU for mentioning whether or not these products contain coconut! I have been driving myself crazy trying to find a decent tint that does not contain coconut or fragrance. I appreciate this video so much!!!!

[@carmenmcdonald5227]

Thank you so much for this! Super informative for me. Just barely getting into clean makeup. Amazing 🤓

[@kzfingerprint]

Love how informative and thorough you are, new sub!

[@amandadennison5413]

Happy Early Birthday! 🥳 Thank you for this video!

[@dycnyc8166]

I love your videos. I find you so funny, sincere, informative and intelligent. Love your style and vibe and literally only wish that we were the same complexion so I’d be able to see how products you use would actually be likely to work on me too. I’ve looked and find no one I enjoy watching as much in my shade range. So come back to you. Happy early birthday and thanks for being a great reprieve for me and a chance to focus on light and fun!! Xoxo

[@thebellamays]

I’ve been wanting to know your option of most of these skin to its. Thank you so much!

[@kimivdot]

I love the Kosas one and I use mine with a tiny bit of the hourglass mineral veil powder and it workS AMAZING! Loved the comparison of all of these though, thanks so much for doing this!

[@ojaigirl]

kimivdot I just the tiniest amount of the RMS unpowder and it works too.

[@XXwoodcraft]

Holy sheesh your skin tone and texture looks amazing!!

[@shaylaatiles]

yesssss this is exactly what i wanted!! thank you so much!!

[@KATBRAC91]

And that spreadsheet too? Wowow girl, you're my hero

[@flowerseva]

Completely spot on- love the precision and specificity!!💖👍🏻💫

[@emmagerike4000]

Yess!!! Finally I am so excited to watch this!!!

[@pleaseuseturnsignals5880]

Your work is much appreciated Lady!!! Great video.😁

[@alexm2111]

This is such a great video! I love Kosas' tinted oil but have always wondered how it compares to others. Will you being doing this kind of video for foundations and concealers? Also happy birthday!!

[@candidcait]

Kept getting ads for Iris&Romeo so decided to search a review. So glad I found your video with all these recommendations instead!

[@sammyg0393]

I saw you post this and literally said “YESS FINALLY!!!!” out loud lol. Super appreciate all of the work you’ve put into this video and the past year to help me make more informed purchasing decisions. I’m a newer practicing PA that’s still paying off some serious loans so all the info you’re providing has been incredibly helpful. Thank you Kackie!!! (Also, I bought your lip liner and I LOVE it. It’s what’s been missing in my life 🙏🏻🙌🏻)

[@MicahRion]

The lip liner is AMAZING! I love it too.

[@clarashook3398]

This was my same reaction when I saw this video in my feed! Super excited to see this layout at last.

[@Alfakkin]

Me too

[@LittleMissTiff]

Thank you for making this video!! So so helpful 😍

[@nicolelewis3885]

I adore the spreadsheet!!! Keep them coming!

[@samanthaimrie2918]

Yesss we’ve been waiting for it!!!

[@brookspa94]

THANK YOU for giving so MUCH of your precious time, $, research & knowledge, into creating this OUTSTANDING informative video! Well done, much needed, & greatly appreciated! Sending Hugs & Blessings 2U!😘

[@livingthelifewithfibro828]

The ONLY one that doesn’t break me out is the Ilia tinted foundation, you making the spread sheet made me realize why! Thank you so much! :)

[@kackie]

That is the BEST! 😅 thank you!

[@geslinam9703]

I’ve stopped wearing foundation, because there are some great, and affordable, tinted mineral sunscreens today that provide a lot of coverage and protect your skin at the same time. Best I’ve found are UltaMD and Australian Gold.

[@Bekindtopeople]

The spreadsheet instantly boosted my already high respect for you Kackie!!!😘 Btw please do an updated review of Jones Road beauty. They have added more products! ( complexion face pencils, lip and cheek sticks, sparkle wash eye glass, powder eye shadows is lots of colors: flat shades and shimmery ones, eye brow pencils that have hair like fibers and water/sweat proof= doubles as eyeshadow/liner/white hair fill in between appointments!)

[@jessicac4555]

Happy Birthday! I love the spreadsheet! I l have tried bite and Covergirl and have really enjoyed them. I tried the supergroup and the tints don't match my skin tone I hope they come out with more colors for the summer because I do like their sunscreen. Kosas concealer is a new fav in my collection.

[@kimmcconnell3854]

Thank you, Kackie! I love my Kosas! (Oily, huge pores, and maturing skin, it still looks amazing. )

[@colleenjennifer-lynn]

This video popped into my feed and THANK YOU for this detailed video!! You have a new subscriber! FYI.. I love the cover girl skin milk 😊 ❤️🇨🇦😘

[@giselet.siegmund7237]

This was a great breakdown. Thank you!

[@brandinshaeffer8970]

We are all feeling off, tired, just not good - it is 10000% ok to express that and I'm glad people are finally feeling like their feelings are valid 💓 for the first couple weeks we were all sort of in a state of shock and so many were shaming online "oh just be glad you're alive" ...ummmm... mental health is health. LOVE YOU and will be consuming all of your videos and using your affiliate links when they're there!

[@rachael8223]

Great review! FYI -- Iris & Romeo has significantly expanded their shade range for this product, but I think it still trends dark. That said, I discovered it recently and love it! Great ingredients and not too dewy (my biggest pet peeve!). I set it with a bit of translucent powder. There is definitely a scent now -- a fairly strong rose. It doesn't bother me, but is likely too much for many others.

[@janewalsh1201]

Happy Birthday, Kackie!!!!! Another Aries, My birthday is Sunday! You give so much information on your channel.

[@emilyhoward7899]

This was sooooooooooooooooo helpful! As soon as I heard you say the only ones without coconut are ilia and supergoop that cuts all the options to two, breakout-wise. Thank you!

[@piediddly]

For the hot weather that will be incoming for us Texas ladies, I highly recommend the new linen collection from Black Crane. The Xiao dress is superb; billowey, lightweight, minimalist perfection imo. The cropped linen pants are also dreamy!

[@yukihime9]

Happpppy birthday from a fellow Aries 🥳 ♈️ 🎉 Thank you for the spreadsheet!!!!!! I am a data junkie so having this helps viewers make an informed decision. P.s. I find wearing a bit of makeup (Skin tints FTW) improves my mental state while social distancing and WFH. A routine in general helps. Also Skin tints are awesome for busy healthcare workers/ essential workers if they want an easy makeup solution. #thankyouhealthworkers #ariesseason

[@AspenandEmery]

Yes, no I finally understand why you love the supergoop. I totally have a darker shade and it’s dry down is so much that it like feels like I have a drying clay or something on my face and I hate it! It makes my pores I didn’t even know I had huge! The coverage also doesn’t stand as a tint to me on that color, I feel like it’s a full coverage foundation I will be so excited if they reformulate.

[@Savannahkrupp]

Bought the Ilia skin tint and I’m never going back. I use the Ilia daily and the bite beauty foundation when I want a more fuller coverage look. I recently bought the Tarte skin tint because it has amazing reviews on Sephora and I couldn’t help myself. I get it in the mail today and I can’t wait! Would love to see you test it out as well!!

[@DanielleNicoleMakeup]

The Tarte Hydroflex is my new favorite, if that's the one you're talking about. Amazing, looks just like skin. The Wet n Wild tinted hydrator is my other ride or die

[@jmr2729]

Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I needed this video!

[@elizabethjoslin156]

Love this so much, and I'd love to see like your best, most fave clean foundations. I have the Kjaer Weis, and I like it, but I can't sheer it out easily (plus expensive). Been considering the milk stick. Would love to see a face foundations overall.

[@genevievepourzan9881]

Hi, I'm new to your channel. And your spreadsheet on skin tint's is legend. Please do this for other products! xoxo

[@ElateCosmetics]

Happy Birthday! We are just elated to be on your Tint-loving list! Thank you so much for your support and we hope you had an amazing birthday.

[@uva98]

👏👏👏 love this video, and your channel! Elf has now a bb cream and it’s lovely.

[@bryndabaker6782]

Fantastic and super-helpful, thank you!

[@ash965]

I love both colourpop pretty fresh & ilia tint very muchly!! Thank you for all the hard work. You are my favorite KZbinr by far 🌸💓

[@kackie]

Aww 🥰🥰🥰

[@mandeemichelle4668]

I love your wordology..."very muchly"! I, too, am a creator of silly ass word stuffins. :) Your post had me ga-rinnin'! 😁✌💛

[@brandinshaeffer8970]

New sub ...OMG the spreadsheet - YOU ARE AMAZING

[@iamsam2996]

I bought the Colourpop because I’m trying to be more aware of what I’m putting on my face whilst still keeping my budget in mind. I love love love it✨

[@laurenfalzone3739]

You made me buy the Supergoop CC cream and I love it! Agree they need to expand the shade range though. I think I will have to mix fair/light and light in the summer time 😬

[@breewilson5020]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KACKIE!!! Hope you have the best possible day despite all the insanity in the world ✨🥰

[@kackie]

You too!

[@jessiecarter4227]

Congrats on 30K! 🎉 Happy birthday! 🍰 And never apologise for being opinionated in Aries season! 🐑

[@yifeizhao3919]

My first subscribe on KZbin. Huge Shout Out to the spreadsheet. I couldn’t appreciate it enough. Loooooooooove it.

[@marylouasicksik8156]

Happy belated birthday!! You are delightful and I so appreciate all the work you do for us. Question: would you say the Supergoop CC could be used as a stand alone sunscreen? I’m looking for a multitasking sunscreen with light-medium coverage so I don’t have to buy separate products.

[@technokittymeoww]

So insanely helpful! Thank you!
