TEPID TAKES ON NEW BEAUTY RELEASES

[@baileydubs]

As someone like Hannah (although I have darker skin than she does which isn’t hard) with rosacea and dark under eyes, I am loving the influx of color correctors. It’s becoming easier for me to try and find a good one for me

[@baileydubs]

I am mainly a drugstore girl, sometimes mid tier, but my biggest complaint is that there’s not enough mucky grungy colors at the drugstore or even mid tier. I’m tired of getting the same old “mauve” blushes that at the end of the day are really just pink. It really just makes me wonder if these brands think we are that boring to not want more

[@TheClairelikescats]

Agreed!

[@yamilletrivas8041]

You killed me with that Isamaya tepid take!!!! If you are going to do it make them vibrate! lol!!!!!! Why are you always saying all the right things! I can't stop laughing and I have a third or so of the video left!!!!!!!!

[@kackie]

🤣🤣

[@nadiacoffey2609]

Indie brands are just miles ahead of mainstream brands with the photos of their swatches. They’re literally showing the actual products on real skin with no retouching. They’re showing eyeshadow swatched on eyelids. That’s what I want to see instead of photoshopped swatches.

[@weepyburrito]

I am so past due on watching this, but “…and it was an oversight not to have them vibrate” I ABOUT PEED MY PANTS, so funny

[@NoDoubtItsKenz]

Kackie, you are hilarious. It was definitely an oversight to not make them vibrate. 😂

[@Sam-lous-world]

Been waiting for your comment on the isamaya release... I knew you'd make me laugh 😅

[@violetsongbird761]

I actually have a good shade match in the Hause Labs foundation. Granted I do usually cheat my foundation more neutral because it helps with hiding my redness as I have very reactive skin. But every time I wear it I get complements on how nice my skin looks.

[@janelle7778]

Good morning Kackie! Just wanted to say that you and your videos have really helped me lately. I’ve also picked up some VB, Kaja, YSL, Athr and Phytosurgence shadows! Thank you for putting me on to these.❤Also the About Face Cherry Pick’s feel so luxurious! Halsey is killing it!

[@kackie]

Would love to see your thoughts on older hit products from 2016. Like too faced palettes, etc. would be fun to see what stand out, and what has been beaten out. ❤

[@LightBringersPortal]

I love the color story on the Guerlain shadows. That blue and yellow together 😍 I think it’s exciting and thought of a few eyeshadow looks using those colors that I would swoon over in the few minutes you reviewed.

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

Omg I just noticed, you accidentally signed a sort of naughty word in ASL at the beginning of this 😂 😂 😂 the "ok" sign that Americans use is close to "f" in ASL. If you had done that sign with both hands (instead of just one), with the fingertips tapping each other, you would have said "fucking," as in sex, not the adjective. I think you probably signed something akin to "bonking," in the sweetest possible way, heehee!

[@signcancer623]

"FEDERAL PRISON!" took me out‼

[@sunshineliz5297]

Those Armani blushes are so beautiful. Can’t wait for them to come out. I shall get the Hermes bronzer but not the highlights.

[@helenhirsch5717]

When I was first into makeup I went crazy for liquid lipstick and bought every color of every brand at the drugstore, along with all the other lip products in gloss, shine, satin and matte products. And with experience, I realized how desert dry and textured all liquid lipsticks made my lips look and I just didn't love that. Plus, I love reapplying thought the day, so where's the fun in not getting to do that!

[@moonelf2959]

Your explanation about liquid lipsticks and contrast explains why I always feel like a clown when I wear bold lip color. What an AHA! moment for me! I always think the colors are beautiful and then I put them on and its like getting hit over the head. Thanks for saving my wallet, I'll stop spending money trying to find the right brand/color now!

[@kackie]

🤣

[@reasonablyreliable]

I think Safiya tried the tattoo printer (or a similar one) and it was pretty fun looking but hit and miss in execution.

[@TheRunwayPeeps]

Pls review the new guerlain foundation! the one in the weird bootle is my favourite liquid foundation ever and I'm so curious about this new one.

[@meepmoopmeep1]

I agree that releases have been underwhelming lately. I commented on Hannah’s video that the only release of 2023 that caught my eye is the Nars Soft Matte Powder. And just yesterday I heard about the Milk mattifying setting spray and that has me intrigued. Can you tell I’m oily? Lol Absolutely everything else has been an easy pass.

You did a video around the same time last year giving commentary on the clearance items at a high end retailer (Saks I think). I would love to see another one.

[@glossmenagerie]

GHD is expensive but I’ve had my flat iron since 2009 and she’s still going strong lol. I did get mine on sale though because yikes that price tag.

[@kackie]

when i used them as a stylist they died ALL THE TIME.

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

Lol I need mostly low contrast lippies, and I am loving these new matte liquid lips. The shades are never quite right, but I layer them over stains, usually with a very muted, blotted application, and i love that they last when I am doing an event or giving a presentation. I bought some matte stains on clearance, I was so bummed when they turned out to be liquid lipsticks, but really am loving the formulas and the possibilities for color combos. I tend to pop on lip spf on top of everything, so it's more of a satin finish in the end, which seems to be flattering and easy.

[@mollya8230]

Kiko Milano is one of my favourite brands ever, I would love you to do a review and I could defo rec you some stuff 👀they have some amazing products

[@NoDoubtItsKenz]

“An entire BLOCK of salt” 😂😂😂😂😂😭😭

[@KaitlynMae_]

Gurl, the GHD legit just sounds like the wet2dry things that we used in middle/highschool that made the hissssssss. Which looking back now was just the sound of all of our hair screaming for help.

[@willowashe]

I could see the tattoo printer working for a MUA to put tattoos on a model for a photo or video shoot. It would depend on how it works of course, if it’s the kind that need to develop over time than probably not!

[@emmafoley8987]

Kackie, since you've been in a lower contrast mood, I'm curious if you're into the PMG Love eye pallets? I'm intrigued but curious if they're different enough from Divine Rose.

[@nourmezher4129]

As a curly hair girl id NEVER use that ghd styler 😂 it sounds like burn central, really don’t understand who this is for.

[@NickaLah]

I'll maybe buy a $50 lip gloss if someone can miraculously make a milky one (especially if it's a nude peachy color a la Britney circa 2000) that lasts all day, is hydrating and the pigment doesn't gather in the lines on our lips (not fine lines from age, but just regular lines most of us have). I like the milky glosses from NYX, tho, just wish glosses lasted longer, I'm too forgetful to put more on.

[@billiecomeaux]

I have bought 2 of the Lisa Eldridge lip glosses (Decade and Myth), they are absolutely beautiful, but also so balmy and nourishing. Also, KVD liquid foundation is for oily/combo skin, and apparently the balm is for dry skin. Also, can't most people just use a blow dryer and a brush?

[@kackie]

Most people, sure. But if you're working with super kinky hair, it's really hard to combine heat and tension with the precision required to straighten the hair effectively.

[@Irelanddriveasmr]

I'm living for this.

[@sweetyft]

I’d buy the new Hindash color fluid in canvas once I run out of my current eye base just to try (even though I’m not a fan of Boy’s Tears). I really need something to correct discoloration on my lids but I want it to match my skin tone. The Haus Labs one is a perfect match and feels very light but, unfortunately, it doesn’t have a lot of lasting power.

[@bethsoule]

Kackie, you are younger than me but I remember my mom telling me in the sixties they would straighten their hair wet, with a pillowcase over it as insulation but with do it with a hot iron. Like to press your clothes. It's amazing their hair didn't all fall out.

[@marlbboro8091]

Plein air? As in painting outdoors ? Use it a lot in the watercolour community 😛. Thanks for speaking out on shades and the selfish comments for MAC. In South East Asia I was a minority but that didn’t take away from the fact that it would bring me to tears never finding a shade for my NC 40 skintone. That feeling of being overlooked /invisible is pretty debilitating. It’s only makeup but the message it gives is terrible. I was so happy to move to the US because I was like ‘finally I will find shades to suit me!’

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

Omg lol, I figured I had been taught the pronunciation wrong, when she said "pline" air, she's a working artist and I live in the sticks, but I am relieved now. Yeah, she's referencing "plein air," but now I am sure I've been pronouncing it right. My dad was a watercolors and took classes in it, everyone always said "plenn," ie the French pronunciation.

That denim thing! OMG, purple and yellow and the blue and what is basically an orange! Did some look at a colour wheel and say, “ Primary colours are so in! So flattering! Let’s do that!” Fire that person. Can I please have some nuance? It could’ve been done, actually, in a sophisticated way. Ochre, quinacridone gold, deep deep violet, a blackened cobalt. I might not have bought it, but I wouldn’t have laughed at it. ( heavy sigh ) 😂

[@1hawaii21]

Cle de Peau has some beautiful products. I’m just not willing to pay their crazy prices. There are so many brands today producing great products. I’ve read some good things about the Gucci foundation. But, I don’t like fragrance in my foundation. The new Guerlain Terracotta Le Teint foundation also looks promising but I absolutely cannot stand their violet fragrance. So for me, I will stick to what I know and love.

[@SG11007]

I wasted my money on CT pillow talk pop shot. Was my first, I wanted to try one out and it will be my last! I would rather spend $53 on her quads than one, it didn’t even impress me

[@nicocushman]

Try Cle de Peau concealer!

[@fleetwoodmacncheese4159]

20 white shades, 4 medium and 2 dark is completely inexcusable. It's ridiculous that companies still don't acknowledge the nuance and depth in brown and black skin... 🤦‍♀️💚🖤 Edit: I'd also like to point out with blushes, bronzers, highlighters, eyeshadows: white and light skinned people can make most products for dark skin work for them. The same can't be said the other way around. I bought the second to darkest shade in the Haus Labs blush and can use a light hand. I actually do that a lot with blush because the light, flat colors don't really work (I can make them work but I'm good on that). I like to look slightly sunburned... I said the same thing! For $95 a weiner better give me a good time. Wait... I'm NOT putting my lip products on or near my vagina! 🤣

[@kaateeh]

There is also something great in products dedicated for deep skinned people. True bronze. I am pale like I was living in an eternal winter land, lol, but I buy bronzers for deep skin because they are really brown (with red undertones), and don't come as orange or golden, or almost green like those for light skinned people. I just use tiny bit. It will last forever. My go to is Mented Vacay bronzer. It's very soft and blendable.

[@ayameisastar]

Fun true story. So japan is a pretty homogeneous society. To the point that drug store brand foundations have an average of 4 shades. That’s right, Japanese drugstore foundations come in 4 shades of beige. That’s it. But brands like MAC, Laura Mercier and Bobbi Brown do exist in Japanese department stores and obviously have darker shades available. They’re usually only available for purchase online, but it’s still available. So while we may rag on MAC, Bobbi brown or Laura Mercier for their poor range here in the USA, for a dark skin toned person in Japan, they’re a lifesaver.

[@kristinabayer3280]

The isamaya release is reaaaally off-putting to me, too. And not just because I am a lesbian 😒

[@GiNgErSnAp-bh7eq]

Don't send me to federal prison for this thought process, but I have questions when it comes to darker toned complection products and why they dont sell. This is solely because I live in a "poor" small town and yes there isn't alot of truly deep skinned people here but there is probably 60% Latino and Asian and our options for makup are walmart, Marshall's and Ross. That being said, there are always tons of deeper shades on the shelf, especially at Marshall's which is where makeup goes to die and is at a huge discount but even for drugstore, it's always there. So my question is, are the undertones so off that they don't get purchased, is the culture less inclined to wear makeup, is the economic reality not allowing for unnecessary purchases? Like I'm really trying to wrap my head around why these shades do not get purchased when the actual skin tones of people living here skew medium and medium deep. Also, can I just say my Walmart is atrocious at keeping their one isle of makup stocked. If I drive an hour away, walmart has 3 isles and they are packed with all the things. It's so frustrting. Sorry, that was kind of 2 thoughts but more the point being, where I live, pale shades are never available in stores and medium and deep shades are. No prison, just thoughts.

[@Alex-tk7gh]

Exactly, the dark shades are always fully stocked. I live in Arizona where we have all types of people with all the shades you can think of and the only complexion products that are always fully stocked are the dark shades.

hi bestie! I love and watch all your videos - you said that isamaya's lipsticks had male energy bc of their shape - but that could be a little bit offensive to some of your trans supporters because some women have penises and some men do not. Not trying to come for you or be rude - :) just wanted to point it out so you dont hurt some of your supporters.

[@kackie]

I take your point. What would have been a better way to phrase it? I'm speaking as a woman for whom penises enshrined in chrome being sold as makeup feel kind of menacing and symbolic of dick=power. I understand your point, but they still have that meaning for me. Especially detached from a body. it's complicated.
