everyone keeps asking about this lip color AND I DON'T BLAME THEM

[@HannahLouisePoston]

*UPDATES* - I love the YTTP night cream but not sure I'll buy a full size because it's so $$ - I have actually been using the topicals primer because my pores have been looking giant lately (why??!?!) and it's growing on me - I don't like the tower 28 concealers. they feel dry even when I use my hydrating primers. I have repurchased the REFY concealer - the NARS lipstick is EVERYTHIGGGGGG I have been wearing it every day since filming this. I have actually been trying to re-create this whole look almost every day, I loved how it came out so much, even more than I expressed in this video. This is me now, this is the new me, I am now an elf

[@thisismevox]

OMGGGG when you pulled out the YTTP I squealed. Also a dry skin queen over here and I use it as my night lotion in winter time. The nice thing is a tiny bit goes a long way (if used as lotion and not as a mask), so the price isn't so bad in the long run.

[@notafangirl]

I've had the full size of the YYTP mask but the large one is 2oz and I had the efficacy go off before I could finish it. But you usually use more than I do so I don't think you'd have the same problem IF you ever decided to buy the full size.

[@beatdizzy]

I had to try SO many shades of the T28 concealer shades before I found the right one, in the end BU and DTLA worked really well for my late 40s under eye, I (combo skin) don't find it dry at all. But the colors were not easy to figure out at all. I use the Refy on my face and T28 under my eyes, but the Refy dries and settles too much under my eyes. ALSO I got the green Prada powder for Xmas and it's incredible. Occlusive not super cheap but excellent is the glossier after Baum. AND AND the reds in the pallet might look great with the green undertone, I get reds that actually end up looking brown on me x

[@keanifer]

I second the dislike for the Tower 28 concealers. They’re definitely drying/dry-looking. I bought two shades 😭

[@embee993]

YES! Everyone raves about the t28 concealers and I do not get it- they feel heavy and so dry. I want to love tower 28 but not a single product I've tried from them has worked for me

[@brittanyfletcher434]

I can’t agree more that it really does make a difference to go physically to a store and see the makeup - there are so many products I thought I really wanted, but seeing them in person and swatching changed my mind completely.

They’ve become underrated IMO, but their products are always so beautiful and high quality, and a few of them are permanently in my rotation 😊 Happy New Year!!!

[@Vonmacfire]

Totally agree!! Seeing products in person really is a game changer!! 😂Unfortunately I fall for the online shopping thing far too much than I would like to admit 😢😂

[@Iquey]

I like that they are underrated 😂 so they don't get sold out by annoying influencers telling everyone to buy them. They are pricier but the quality speaks for itself.

[@Quinn-wh1nv]

Going in person really does make such a difference, I agree! I wish there were makeup stores which weren't so heavily perfumed, though -- both I & my sweetie have scent-triggered migraines & it's an ordeal every time, but I just loathe trying to online shop for makeup. It's a conundrum.

Papain -- sciency word for papaya enzyme. One of those fruit hydroxy acids that help skin exfoliate itself. 🙂

that orchid might neutralize the orangey base of that eyeshadow a bit if you pat it on underneath. blue would be better but I'd give the orchid a shot since it's right there anyway.

[@NewRiverSelkie]

Yes, color theory! 💜Blue is the opposite of orange but since the orchid is a blue leaning pink… it could work.

That lip color is EVERYTHING on you!!! Stunning, STUNNING!

[@Lupes_fiascos]

Ugh i lovee this hair on you, so cute.❤

[@culturecrashAL]

YAY A NEW HANNAH! Btw, Papain is what you often see listed as "pineapple enzyme" in skincare -- generally in cleansers, chemical exfoliators, peeling gels, etc. From my reading, its efficacy is limited (it's probably included here to help encourage the skin around those scars to increase its turnover rate, but honestly you'd probably get more out of glycolic). I don't have a ton of pit-type scars either, but I'm still tempted to give this a whirl bc it's one of the ONLY "filling/smoothing" primers I've ever seen that *doesn't* contain cyclomethicone (cyclopentasiloxane, cyclohexasiloxane) or polysilicone-9 / -11. Those are all tiny round ball 'cones that're good at settling into pores and such and then self-leveling to smooth the skin (unlike long flat chain-molecule dimethicones, which are for making a thin even film on skin or hair). They do work very well for that! Unfort they're also a guaranteed maaajor cystic breakout for me. :\

[@aisheem5018]

Papain is also in Papaya which is great at tenderising meat, in my culture they often add it as a marinade!

[@culturecrashAL]

@@aisheem5018 Yep! I think its mechanism of action is weakening some manner of protein bonds (I don't think it's specifically a keratolytic but I could be wrong on that) so it def makes sense that it'd work in a marinade!

The Nars lipstick would look really good if it was lightly dabbed on the lips from the center outward too. I love the blurred edges, center focused pigment you can also acheive with a tiny bit of a brighter or darker color in the center crease of the lips only. So beautiful! Might need to try and mix up my own version now!

[@jesss8908]

Have you ever tried applying bold colour lipstick with a fluffy eyeshadow brush? I got the tip from Katie Jane Hughes and I'm sooo into it. You get a blotted look but softer application, less likely to go on patchy

[@rendleshetheywilliamskat-r9068]

I continue to be surprised that you're not more into exploring K-beauty, and the comments seem to agree with me. Korean skincare tecnology would totally fill the gaps in your product needs.

[@-lovecassy_333]

The nars lipstick is how I feel about the Mac lipstick Antique velvet!! I got it for the name and deep color, and I’m really pale, and on me it’s a deeper version of black honey when blotted. I adore using it everyday on my lips and cheeks, it’s my first Mac lipstick and literally became my signature lip, also it was $20! Compared to $40, it’s a much better price point. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for similar colors to this nars!

If you’re looking for a good final moisture step I HIGHLY recommend the LANEIGE Cica sleeping mask. It has been amazing for my skin. I wake up with moisturized, calmed, and hydrated skin. Never greasy. I love everything about it and it really helps with redness.

[@architecturaldream1]

Reddit directed me to buy the lip sleeping mask (trying to heal, dermatillomania, the worst) and I’ve been genuinely impressed. Even after a night of having the fan on (summer here) it’s still there in the morning! It has more staying power than even lansinoh! I’d never heard of the brand before, your comment encourages me to explore further 😁

[@juliemoses1909]

I think the silicone primers don’t necessarily work like spackle but the optical properties (looking cloudy and diffuse out of the tube), add that diffusion of light to the skin surface. So, they are blurring not concealing.

I got the Nars Explicit in Unrestrained, and love it cause I can wear it lightly and it leaves a stain to fade more classily. What seems like a weird consumerist trick is how the refills are limited to specific colours only, most of which aren't the ones I'd choose compared to the entire collection? I hope they soon include more refill choices and for the blushes too, cause the packaging is still awful...

I LOVE that YTTP mask! It has been so nourishing on my skin this winter. The full size is pricey but has been holding down the fort in my winter skincare routine.

[@karikelly2797]

It looks like that NARS lipstick looked good at first application but, like many dark colors, when blotted out it appears to have settled into the lines of your lips quite a bit, even when you spread it out with the brush. I think that means that it is too pigmented to wear blotted out like that for me. I think the balms do a better job for me and I will stick with those since I don’t go for the vampy dark lipsticks anymore. Thanks for trying them out for us!

[@culturecrashAL]

I have that problem with a lot of superdark lipsticks too, plus the satin/creamy ones tend to not wanna stick on that inner lip area, and my Normal Mouth Posture (??) has a lot of that skin exposed so it always looks weird/bad. But! This technique DOES work much better with a drier matte lipstick formula. I just bought the DVN matte in "Violet Silk" and it's even darker than this -- but it looks fab blotted down and buffed into the lips, and the matte formula means it doesn't gather in liplines!

[@saulemaroussault6343]

Trick ! You can then use a clear gloss or lip balm (just a little bit) and rub your lips together to spread it a bit more evenly.

[@marissakalen6746]

Hannah, speaking of really occlusive sleeping masks/moisturizers- have you ever tried Glossier after balm? It’s the thickest, most occlusive facial moisturizer I’ve EVER used. Highly recommend given your preferences!

[@lvvl1005]

NARS lipsticks have been a favorite of mine for a long time because of their ability to be sheered out. I feel like they have less white pigment than any other formula. I wear my lipstick the same way you do (very sheer) and they’re the best formula to do that. Chanel lipsticks are similar in that way, but I like more of the NARS colors.

Naturium has a good peptide cream along with a really thick night version of it that isn’t super expensive. I am currently using the honey halo from Farmacy. It is a little pricey, but it is absolutely amazing. I have dry, sensitive and acne, prone skin and I use tretinoin and this far it’s been the only thing that has kept my skin supple and hydrated. I do use a hydrating, beta glucan serum day and night as well so that adds to and helps

@@brittagroh9509 i love this comment ty!! i have swatched those two in sephora and thought SF brown sugar was a prettier more purply color and nicer more glossy lip oil texture rather than OH chapstick balm texture and milky red color, but so many youtubers prefer OH for its lip healing properties and say the SF does very little to nourish. I am so curious how they feel and wear on the lips. The rhode i have never swatched ofc because i’m not flying to LA to stand in a line, and Naturium mocha i do have and it’s thick and shiny af but the color i think would be way less pretty compared to all the others, it’s like a more olive brown lol

I adore the pink ole henrikson, it's not very pigmented but I LOVE the feel. So I did what you did and picked up the crème brûlée shade and it smells AND tastes SO unpleasant.

I hate returning products because I know it just gets thrown out so I'm trying to push through but boy I'm tempted to return it :( still wanting to try the orange and the dark brown but now I know I should check the scents in store before buying.

The NARS lipstick is also something I was drawn to without much outside influence! I’ve been consistently in search of a “my lips but better, throw it on without thinking” kind of color, and I found it in the NARS explicit lipstick in the color Envy. It’s the perfect muted pinky beige color for my skin tone without being too pale, or too pink, and with a lovely formula that feels balmy and thin. I didn’t think it existed, but they’ve really done it with this lipstick 🫡

[@marie.theartist]

Love the this 1940's look with a minimalist/contemporary shift to it. If you want a quick application for the lipstick finish you want, try using your ring finger to grab color directly from the lipstick and dab it onto your lips.Then, rotate your lipstick to use the pointy part to line the edges that needs finishing touches. Lastly, I think the taupe/brown duo shadow from Patrick Ta, will give you that color and texture you want for this look (I think you have thar shadow from a last review you did).

[@shanaaaviva]

I have also had the experience that the Ole Henricksen lip balm in the clear creamsicle seems to have a different formula than the more pigmented ones.

Even at relatively high price points!

The Nars lipstick is gorgeous - how does it wear? If you apply a full saturated layer, does it fade to that beautiful blotted look or does it smear or go blotchy? I've always been scared of traditional bullet lipsticks for fear of constant awareness/reapplication and so usually land on lip stains instead, but that colour is really selling me! I wonder if it bears any resemblance to the new Mob lipstick that's inspired by the colour of dried blood...would be an interesting comparison.

Hannah! Remember your grungy valentine eye palette creation of years past?!! That Nars lipstick would definitely go with that look and a couple of those shadows remind me of that video! One of my all time favorite videos, btw!🥰👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💕😍🖤🖤🤎🤎

NARS has always put out great lipstick formulas and colors. The brown color you chose is divine on you.

That orange eyeshadow 🧡 Happy Elven New Year!

[@brittanycook836]

beautiful beautiful beautiful!

[@beekermaya]

Maybe try applying the top middle shade with a damp brush so it's more thick on the eye - this should cover the orange tone under the beautiful shine

This look gives me a 90's vibe... Nice!

[@DeeDee-ze8sx]

Not you tempting me with that Nars palette (which I absolutely do not need but now really want) argh!

I've been using the Tower 28 concealer as my undereye concealer (just 2.0 BU, in my case) for some time now, and I have noticed it's a bit dry for my mid-40s undereyes. Personally I don't find the consistency watery but I don't find it creamy, either. The NARS Explicit Lipsticks are pretty new, released within the last few months.

Thank you! I agree....its better to get your hands on and play with products. My goal this coming year is to try in store as much as possible! I typically rules out overhyped things and discover things I truly like in person. Happy New Year everyone! 🎉💜🥂

[@pleaseuseturnsignals]

Good morning, Lady!! Thank you for another year of inspiring, educational, and thought-provoking videos. 🥂 to anotha year!!

I am obsessed with the Refy concealer. All over the face it’s amazing. I have some eczema under my eyes so am struggling to see it it will be a good under eye concealer for me but so far as a foundation I absolutely loveeeee it. I’ve already bought a backup

[@thinkofthesmell]

Over the last year I've made a rule for myself that I have to go in store to browse if I want new products I've never tried before. Online is for window shopping and re-purchases only and I've realized how different my picks are when I go in-store. Products that I loved the look of online were not at all what I wanted them to be in person and I was drawn to things I never would have seen otherwise. Not just because of the color, texture, and packaging experience but also because there's a very specific "season" of products that are being pushed online at any given time and going in person lets you break outside of that curation a bit and really see whats out there. I am lenient about this rule for drugstore products since they don't typically have testers anyway, but overall it really reduces spend and increased the quality of my little collection.

If you use a greigey, taupey matte-perhaps one of the about face fluid eye paints-as a base for that reflective shade, it might cancel out the orange base and only show the reflect you like.

[@eyeheartautomata]

That lipstick is so beautiful 😮

[@hopewilliams4380]

The Gucci concealer is the first concealer I’ve ever bought that I loved. It taught me what concealer was supposed to be.

[@mus1quenonst0p]

please keep trying the topicals product. i had that fantasy months ago when i saw it, but then assumed it was just porefessional with actives that shouldn’t be on my face during the day. if it fills the pits PLEASE let us know! i have two similar scars that I really want to fill.

[@sarahjones6323]

I LOVE that lip color on you! 😍

[@antsyclara]

The secret orange haunts me as well 👻 I appreciate the in store shopping reviews!

[@erronperez8215]

I can confirm that Topicals Sealed reduced the depth of a 15+ yr old forehead scar right above my eyebrow! I was even able to stop using it, it worked so well. 👀

[@Vonmacfire]

Wonder if it erases fine lines too😂

[@erronperez8215]

@Vonmacfire Sorry, what's funny? Or am I misreading your tone?

[@Vonmacfire]

@@erronperez8215 because I need my fine lines erased 😂 I’m laughing that I could use some permanent help on those. I’m being lighthearted sorry if you mistook it 🙏

[@szpirita]

Gorgeous makeup look

[@JulianaSilveiradeOliveira]

Fo you remember the pallete that you built on a valentine's vibe but grungy? that lips reminds me so much of that!❤ I loooove it

[@ambertasniem7245]

Ole Henriksen actually does have a shade of gloss in a darker brown - it's called Cocoa Creme. Maybe you'd enjoy it more?

[@angeliarossett5934]

I use my OH lip treatment literally as skin care. It lives in the bathroom with the skin care. I scored a double pack in the beginning of holiday season.
