Am I the only person in the world who absolutely hates shape tape!!!! It is so crapey and dry on me, gives so much texture and sits in every line, makes me look 10 years older easily.

Nikkia, Can you or have you done a video on makeup brush dupes? I would really like to know which affordable brand brushes are almost an exact dupe to high end brushes. Thanks Doll you are the best. 🥰

[@geeishk1094]

Omg please I really need to know what brushes you used for the setting powder, contour and highlighter...

[@LA-Purplicious]

The great thing with the Hourglass Spray is that it’s alcohol free. Most of the other setting sprays have alcohol.

[@Patti-1962]

I have to admit I was surprised by a few of the Allure judges choices! They should be all trying the NJC powder!

[@vickrykayser3129]

I am disappointed that a brand that uses real mink got the award. The lashes look better on the poor little mink. 😡

[@Patti-1962]

Vickry Kayser I totally agree!

[@cherub73au]

I know right, I tell every body about NJC finishing powder, even when they don't ask! It is my go to, and the only one that doesn't make me look 10 years older, no crypt keeper for me!. I've tried high end and more affordable and my holy grail is nikkia's.

[@jacquelinekenknight9280]

Don’t try the shape tape. 😂 I held out for several years and finally got a bottle and now I won’t use anything else for my nose. All other concealers make my nose look hideous. I just bought 2 backups when Ulta had them bogo. I have super dry skin and I’m surprised it works so well for me.

[@tamrasmith1744]

What makes the Fenty Brow Pencils great isn’t the formula, although it’s good, it’s the shade range. This isn’t a big deal for a brunette, but as a redhead, I love the Fenty brow pencil. There isn’t just one shade for redheads, there are 4! First time I have ever found a brow product that actually matches my eyebrows. As for the Fenty loose powder, that’s a meh from me.

Idk I don’t like Tarte shape tape. It does crease, it’s so dry and emphasizes texture. Too high coverage and looks like a mask. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I do not like the concealer. I miss the urban decay naked skin concealer they discontinued, I haven’t tried the new One they have yet but the new foundation formula is kinda a joke with how much alcohol they added in there. 4th ingredient. Ridiculous.

[@karinadavalos3249]

It took me forever to find a concealer that doesn’t crease on me but I have come to really like the Nars concealer and the elf hydrating one! I apply both with a semi dry super soft sponge (I use Miss A for $1.50 I think- super cheap and sooo good!) and set both w the Fit Me loose powder w a brush in a patting motion. Hope that helps!
