Blush pink makeup using a bargain eye palette

[@pyjamagirl5]

You mentioned the other week, that you could do a matrix of lighter weight tinted moisturisers and foundation in terms of coverage - I would LOVE that it would save me so much money trying random items following the marketing rather than the actual in comparison to other products. If you could also add that for powders that would be AMAZING 😊

[@sabinabirnie3761]

Hi Caroline, loving all your content, the brushes sound exciting but I don’t like double ended brushes, I put mine in a holder which means one end always gets squashed and splays out.

[@carolinerabjohn9323]

I am just the same. I have tried laying my brushes flat in a different container but for various reasons it just doesn’t work so well.

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

agreed

[@QuadJ1990]

Saturday morning ✔️ Coffee ✔️ Speed Beauty with Caroline ✔️ Yes, it is a weekly show. Exactly how I start my Saturday! Beautiful video as always. Hooray for your brushes! Can’t wait to get them. Brushes for hooded eyes, is that a thing? If so, I’d appreciate those. Sending joy to you 🌞

[@helenhayward2014]

STUNNING with the sparkles, I love, love, love this look 🥰. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and teaching xx

[@gillyemsley4870]

I am recovering from a back procedure and discovered you about a month ago. I absolutely adore your channel. Full of charm, wit and honesty. I feel I have learnt a lot and really like your take on make up. Particularly concealers and shaping the face and the mascara edits and natural look makeup. I have a mixture of classy makeup and high st and value every tip you make. Thank you from me and my little whippet pup Cuthbert ( sitting on bed watching you ) xxxx

[@traceysouthgate3901]

A really lovely look this week Caroline. It's so exciting to hear that you'll be working on a set of your own brushes. Not sure if anyone else does this, but as my eyelids have become more lined, creased, and mobile, I find I'm using smaller brushes to prevent fall out, and to ensure powder placement accuracy. I find the bigger brushes are just too much for me now. So thought you'd like to give that some thought.

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Thank you and I will!

[@phyllistallent4149]

One of my most used eye shadow brushes is a small, detailed angle brush-which I use of the outer corner of my eyes + the inner corner, with a darker shadow. For my face, I use a medium sized fan brush often-I like the lighter application for bronzer/blush.

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Thank you!

[@AMG-qn6jx]

So interesting how different the 2 looks are with the 2 lipsticks . With the stunning top look 2 is so classy.

[@kimberleestern]

I ❤ when you show 2 or more looks with one palette

[@gailjacobson7088]

I love the idea of a brush collaboration. I've been thinking about this. Racking my brain for some thing that is missing in the marketplace and here's what I think. I love the real techniques brushes, but they are just way too thick at the handle and base. If you could design some brushes at that price range, that have a similar feel, but with a pointed base, so you could fit a bunch in a make up stand or cup that would be awesome. Also, I think some synthetic eye brushes that work, as well as natural hair brushes would be amazing. What I'd love to see even more than brushes, though, are blushes bronzer, and highlighters. You have such an incredible color sense I think you would create the most gorgeous blushes for every skin tone. Cream blushes, please!

[@johemsley3079]

Love both looks and from an affordable palate 🎉. Brushes,, would love eye brushes for both powder and cream eyeshadows. Also, include a brief description on how to use would be so helpful 🤩

[@ruthiea729]

Beautiful Caroline 🥰🥰🥰 That lighter pink eyeshadow as soon as you put it on make your eyes pop and wow your eyes look stunning! Can you please do some more looks with brighter colours and glitters too please? For those of us young at heart who’re going through the teenage stage they never did the first time? 😂 Have just ordered the new PLouise palettes and they look stunning and her formula is always velvety soft and so pigmented so some looks other than rainbows would be much appreciated 😊 thank you xx

[@jowestley4539]

Lovely, as always! How exciting to do a brush collection! This might be a niche request but I think shorter handles would be really helpful. If you’re short-sighted and need to be up close to the mirror, long handles get in the way. I often end up using ‘travel’ brushes because they are smaller. A nice, simple collection of good, short-handled brushes would be lovely (and unique, I think). My only other comment would be to do the 3 most-used eye brushes - so often in big sets there are loads of every shape and size and it’s just overwhelming! You know us, Caroline, and I’m sure whatever you go for will be fab! 🤓

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Great feedback thanks !

[@judithjohnson405]

Morning Caroline, another great video. Both looks are beatiful for different occasions. I always marvel at your bottom lashes, mine are so sparce, very hit and miss! Thank you for brightening up all my Saturday mornings x

[@EMMYK1916]

I actually bought that pallette for the very options you stated Caroline. Absolutely stunning looks as per. Thanks for being you. Having a chronic nerve pain morning & i'm worn out already but this cheered me up no end.

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Oh know I really hope this has eased now....

[@MyCleverHandle]

Hello from Across the Pond! Love your soft but defined approach. If I might suggest: As you say, there are so many brushes out there, even those by an influencer might get lost in the crowd. Why not design a set with angular -square or triangular- handles, perhaps with a textured finger grip area molded in? So many of us are developing dexterity problems with our aging hands. I currently wrap my makeup brush handles with tiny rubber bands, but occasionally, one snaps! and I get quite a surprise! I'm sure you could come up with something sleek and stylish but still ingenious for all users. Thank you for showing favorable use of a product brand few take seriously here in the USA. And what a beautiful look!

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

very interesting thank you!

[@mdhironbhuiyan]

Love the look. It is so beautiful. Autumnal colours are my favourite.❤❤❤

[@JL-fp1sm]

Ooh Caroline I LOVE the look n.2 on you! It's soft but also brightens and enhances your complexion. Also, your outfit, the gorgeous earrings paired with this beautiful make-up look gives me some studio 54 vibes! Just beautiful.

[@katemakeuplooks]

Many congratulations on the brush line, Caroline 😊❤ I have rheumatoid arthritis so the shape of the grip and handle is very important to me. I have many brushes that I love but which are let down by being difficult to grip. Something that’s non-slippy would be a good start, with an ergonomic handle shape to fit the hand. A foundation brush, face powder, contour/blush, eye blender to fit in crease and eye liner brush are the basics - in spite of having a huge collection of brushes, they are the only ones I use regularly. Really looking forward to seeing the collection! Have a great weekend all! xxx

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Great feedback Kate thank you!

[@deborahlindsay3670]

I love how we get to see in real time how you feel about colors and what you do to change the look if you’re not happy with it. Also you explain WHY something works or doesn’t. And you’re adorable too!❤❤

[@helenluvs2laugh]

I love the idea about the brushes, Caroline. I always find myself reaching for a Mac 217 or some dupe thereof. I also like a flat lay down brush for the lid. I use cream products a lot so something that could be used with creams would be wonderful. Thank you for keeping me informed every Saturday morning as well as keeping it stress-free. ❤😊

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

yes that's a classic brush!!

I’m loving that palette and I love both looks equally. 💖

[@gillianashley1820]

I love the understated first look, Caroline. So classy and flattering.

[@katrinaryan1739]

I love the second look it brightens your whole face and makes your eyes look bigger and also prefer the softer lip on you.🥰💜

[@jancinedavies6813]

Loved Trinny Woodall’s book Fearless, love going back to it and re-reading.

[@andreaawangku1782]

What gorgeous looks and a fabulous palette!! I shall be adding that palette to the shopping list and hope I can find it. These two looks were just so beautifully soft and feminine, went so well with your lovely new top!! You are so right about the less is more as we get older. I cant speak for others but I know I can no longer carry off a heavy eye makeup look without looking like Ive gone five rounds with Tyson Fury! As for the brushes, how exciting for you!! And us! As one of the other ladies said, smaller eyeshadow brushes for us heavily hooded eye types would be brilliant. Either way, I know what you bring out with be well thought out and extremely useful. Have a lovely week ahead Caroline xx

Happy Saturday Caroline! 👋🏻☕ Loving both looks on you but for me, I think the softer look would be better due to my glasses magnifying my eyes. Thank you for taking the time to do 2 looks in 1 video! Hmm brushes... I think small collection with both firm and soft fluffy bristles, flat and tapered heads would be fabulous. Have a lovely weekend and a great week ahead 😊 ~Heidi x

Morning Caroline Love the shirt very sophisticated nice little palette wasn’t expecting it to be so good See you next weekend take care ❤

[@jillianstricker]

RE brushes, I’d love to see a collection you put together. I’ve been loving Sigma brushes for a long time. The E25 is my favorite because it packs color on, blends and the tip can be used for contouring.

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Thank you!

[@scottandtracybrothers2024]

Oh, my Saturday morning is complete!! Love what you do and what I learn from you! I bought one of the Revolution pallets and used the glitter shade…I thought I would never get it off my eyes and my face!! I hope you fare better ❤

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Try mixing it with a touch of eye cream to hold in place...

[@nikkipayne9940]

Love both looks. Gorgeous xx

[@SolElarien]

About brushes, I think something travel friendly would be great. I fan shaped brush, about 1 inch in diameter, would be something different, also a triangular shaped one and a small blush brush that allows you to be very precise when placing and also when blending the blush. Love, Sol

[@teresarobbins5258]

Lovely looks, as always. Happy Saturday from North Carolina, USA ☀️💖

[@sarahmatthews1090]

Loved both of the looks, loved your shirt and loved the hobnob reference. I moved to Australia from the UK over 20 years ago now and I laughed out load to your hobnob story. Needless to say they don’t do hobnobs out hear. Thank you 😅

Brush set travel friendly will be interesting

[@jillianstricker]

Love this look! I did a session with Anna which was wonderful (for anyone reading I could not recommend this more!!) and I learned so much about my color code. That said, you’ve mentioned having her back or you doing something focused on how much makeup plays into what you’re wearing. I would LOVE to see that. I still wonder sometimes if I lean too cool or warm with my makeup and also if I wanted to experiment with my hair color. Would be a fun and great “episode of your show” :) Thanks as always Caroline!!

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

great I'll let her know!

[@dorourke2484]

When you make the brushes could you do a fluffy eyeshadow brush on one end and a firm brush on the other and to push the product in on the eyes please. I do so adore your weekly videos thank you so much for taking the time to do them

[@wendymoore6625]

Gorgeous 😘 Caroline Barnes brushes 🥰 take my money 💰

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

😂

[@keepfitgirl8191]

Now you've made me want hob nobs 🤣. I find it so difficult to find a lipliner the same shade as my lips (a cool mauvey pink colour). I get excited when I hear the name "mauve" but often they have warmth in them which ends up looking brown on me. If you come across any lip pencils that are a true cool toned mauve pink please share! The closest I got was Essence Satin Mauve which they discontinued typically. If it'd been a tad lighter it would've been perfect. Re brushes always looking for a smaller size crease brush - for those ageing eyes lol- that can also blend. I have difficulty finding an eyeliner brush I like too. The best one I have found is actually a lip brush by Boots 17 - discontinued of course. Sorry for rambling 🤣. Emma x

[@espritmagique]

I really like both looks! It’s inspired me to go out and buy a shirt in a similar colour! I’m looking forward to seeing what brushes you release:) Personally, I’d love good quality brushes I could travel with, a set with some multi-tasking ones. Thank you!

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

yes we are on the same lines

[@marciamiller6324]

I agree with traceysouthgate. Smaller brushes would be nice. I have a smaller face and find most brushes to be too large overall. Thanks for the video. Love that color option!

[@lizkelley9060]

Morning Caroline! Pink……mmmm…looks great on you. I struggle with the under eye shadowing bit, esp in pinks, looks like I’ve cried all night. Brushes! That’s exciting…. I guess a foolproof eye set would be good, maybe 3?

Hi Caroline - love the looks. Both gorgeous.I wondered if you, or any of your followers, can recommend a good make up mirror with lights? I have one (can't remember the brand, not Simple Human!) but the LEDs are so dim it's useless. Thanks. from another Caroline x

[@juliemanington2249]

Bobbi always nails the neutral look, always has..x

[@emilyal-zeibak7862]

Which is better? Victoria Beckham's new mascara or the Vieve one? Thanks ❤

[@CiaraDanes]

Lovely looks as ever. How exciting re the brushes! My two pence if helpful…Any brushes for hooded or smaller eyes, particularly a tapered crease brush. A blending/smudger brush that you can use for eyeliner or shadow. Often hard to find one with the balance in firmness and softness that doesn’t tug your skin and make your eyes water 😢 Last one(promise) a smaller blusher brush for lighter placement / strong pigment - like the smaller highlighter brush you used with the blush. Blusher brushes on the market are quite round and large and that’s not what you always need. I think you should make our own line of cotton buds too Thanks so much ❤❤

[@joanmills2294]

That is such a pretty look. I was wondering if you would show us examples of looks for the color of clothes you wear. Like different looks if you are wearing Navy or red or green or any color. a look for cool tones or warm tones. Trinny's book has made me rethink so much and to watch you apply a look for a particular color would be so interesting and helpful. I was on one of those huge webex screens at work and I thought, oh dear, that's not good!!! help!

Hello Caroline, Regards from across the smaller pond. I only discovered you recently and I agree with the lady who said she would watch if you just sat & chatted with us. You are a tonic on Saturday mornings I loved the two looks, particularly the second one

[@magdawojcik1854]

❤❤❤

[@clare4191]

Double-ended brushes, please, Caroline! Fluffy tapered one end for blending and perhaps smaller flatter the other end? And small face brushes for precise areas made with softest bristles so that they don't irritate sensitive/rosacea. A few double ended brushes that have specific, targetted areas would be very exciting! Love this chic pink blush look; so warm and cosy and soft. I like the second look because I need a stronger eye for my glasses otherwise my eyes look small and piggy, but my best friend who has glasses that magnify, would love the softer first look, so thank you for both, as always, Caroline.

Angled crease brush. Foolproof, please😂

Can someone please tell me what's the difference between a £5 or less lip pencil and a £22 one. Is a lip pencil worth the £22?
