[@trinahalupczok9585]

That Kosas glow was just straight up glitter. THIS IS THE SKIN OF A KILLER BELLA

[@LEbackstage]

It's like diamonds...you're beautiful 🤣 I could quote more, but I already exposed too much 🤣

[@johannafischer7536]

Underrated comment 😂

[@tvmayer]

My friend, watching you ramble about anything makes me smile. Such a great reprieve from life being annoying as hell. Also- I really improved the look of my pores by using an aha toner and lactic acid serum during the day and a strong retinol at night. I have sensitive skin but also like 5,000,000 layers of it?? I am a big proponent of a lot of exfoliation (for myself- I knows it’s not a universal solution). Maybe adding more into your routine would help? Love to you buddy!

[@TracyD2]

5 million layers. Ha ha I hear you though. Skin care is everything. Finding what works for you is trial and error and sometimes patience. I have dry skin so stayed away from salicylic acid but tried the Paula’s Choice BHA lotion and omg that stuff is amazing. Smoothed my textured immediately. I use tretinion and ahas as well

[@elisa-beary]

100% even some of my original fave KZbinrs lately just come off SOOO over the top when they talk. They’re so loud and I’m like… you’re mic’d 🎙️🤔 she comes off like she’s talking//rambling to a friend and I could watch her all day. ALSO agree, I use the Paula’s choice BHA toner. Lactic acid and a strong retinol- both sunday Riley. My pores appear so much smaller and I have the korres smoothing moisturizer. It is BEAUTIFUL!!! I wanna add back niacinamide though. My typically beyond oily skin is completely changed for the better.

[@skincarewithaustin]

I second lactic acid for pores! I know it’s not BHA, but it really smooths things out. I have rosacea and use TO 5% every morning. It’s gentle enough to not sting, but I still see results. And it’s hydrating!

[@Cascadeis]

For me a combo of niacinamide and retinol has made the biggest difference!

[@jasminelle8283]

oh my my, the color for your brows is so perfect! and your face before the blush, was so perfect, natural, the color is so good on you, i dont’t know if is the brush, but it looked so easy to put the bronzer, and normally, i HATE bronzers, but on you, it was magic !!!!

[@aundrealauzon]

You hit the nail on the head at the end of your video. When you're applying a pore filling primer and a shimmering product, switch it up to how you did it. Do your glowing product, and then your pore filling primer, then your foundation. That way you're not pulling up the pore filling primer with the glowing product. I'm pretty sure that was what happened because that pore filling primer is fantastic. Calliray is really good too!

[@maddiem3123]

your brows look so good! that brow gel is perfect!

[@TheMakeupBee]

You can use that kosas glittery thingy as body glitter in the summer, bet it is nice as that.

[@RudiBerry]

Ugh Lauren I hate to agree ab the kosas but I do, I just prefer the saie glowy super gel to this by a million miles

[@jmevasa]

The Nars foundation is my absolute favorite of 2022 and even still. I always pit it against whatever is a new release and the Nars wins hands down. I freaking love it.

[@runaroundsuzanne9599]

Mine, too! And I’ve finally found my perfect shade! Vallauris (medium cool). I’ve always thought I was neutral because cool shades always looked orange (& I NEVER thought I could be warm), but this cool shade is perfect. I have probably 50 different foundations and I have to force myself to use anything else but this one lol

[@janeneg]

Maybe you can use the Kosas glitter bomb cream for arms, legs, décolletage in the summer?

[@janeneg]

Love the brows! So much!

[@lamsing6090]

I can see your eye brows, Lauren. They look great! The eye look is so simple but pretty too.

[@noellewall8856]

Kosas really out here giving "I'm a killer Bella" as a look

[@Shrimpeemcgee]

Omg your energy in this is both frenetic and perfect

[@EH012]

The brows look great! Possibly it's the black mascara giving that "bleached brow" effect because of the contrast. Brown mascara could look nice, but honestly, this is a vibe. It turned out lovely. I might try a cool, greyish blue version for my brown eyes ❤

[@beekiebookie452]

you look great! I apply the NARS with a stipple brush. The Kosas...... YIKES! I could see the glitter when you came up close. You def saved the look though with the eye look - gorgeous!! I also like the lighter brow - gives very bleached by the sun vibe. Thanks as always :)

[@Iamyl4]

I never tried the Tarte blurring primer but always wanted to after hearing Tati rave about it all these years, however never wanted to pay the $39 price tag for it. Instead I tried the L’Oréal magic perfecting primer and I LOVE that one so much and wonder if it’s a dupe. Regardless wanted to throw out a more affordable primer if anyone doesn’t want to pay the Tarte price. It does an excellent job and blurring and just create a smooth beautiful base for your foundation to go on and a little goes a really long way. Loved this video Lauren!

[@AmyBlack1206]

I’m just laying here recuperating from rhinoplasty. Lol. Well functional rhinoplasty. Deviated septum and obstruction. Ugh, such fun. I had money left on a gift card so I ordered that brow gel. I am 54 and very thin brows. This looks perfect for me. I liked the perks now. I wanted that Nest perfume. They have better perks ordering on line.

[@simplythebestgirl]

Hope you feel better soon ❤️.

[@AmyBlack1206]

@@simplythebestgirl thank you!!!😊

[@livialynnlynn]

The auric glow lust still can't be beat imo for the highlight or charlotte tilbury replacement.

[@meowdysox]

I really loved how the look today came out!! I haven't been able to wear makeup in a while, and it's really nice to share the specialness of loving makeup through the screen.

[@rebeccat8061]

I love that Tarte primer, it works great but it should be the only primer on your skin wherever you put it.

[@jennifersaunders3622]

That brow gel matches perfectly!!

[@ericaschiffler2425]

Your brows are the best they have looked!

[@irishgirl12705]

The INN Beauty Face Glaze primer has great skincare and no glitter. I prefer it because I’m combo-oily and it doesn’t make my pores look larger. Cait loves it, that’s why I tried it. Just a heads up for a really lovely product.

[@nuchithoj]

I’m obsessed with the Face Glaze! It somehow smooths out my skin and makes me look poreless while also giving me the most gorgeous natural glow. I feel comfortable wearing it on its own, under makeup/mixed with foundation, and on top as a natural highlight. It’s such a wonderful product!

[@MoreCoffeePlease.]

Girllll! Those brows though!! 😍

[@airypersiflage]

Your videos are such perfect evening treats as I do my skincare routine, set up my humidifier, and tuck myself in. ❤️

[@gigi2k326]

Ohmygosh...this is,one of my fav looks you've done. & that's saying something! Lol this blue eyed gal is gonna try to recreate this with whatever I can find! Thank you for your always interesting and fun looks & content in general!

[@emmacondon7028]

Can't wait to see your update on these, especially the Nars foundation🥰 It was nice to see you not buying all new new stuff too, like the Nars stuff that lots of us might already have 🙂

[@sacgeekgirl]

Really Loving the closeups! It's super r useful to see the textures and finishes up close ! Ty!❤️

[@teresaswanson4854]

I was using the Tatcha primer on my nose for pores but it started breaking me out so now I'm using the Tart one that you're using right now and I really like it, so far no breakout. I wish I knew an awesome primer 2 make pores appear smaller.

[@residentmenace3888]

You are such a vibe in this vid. Your excitement is contagious.

[@runaroundsuzanne9599]

I think that might be the best I’ve ever seen your eyebrows look. But I’m not really into dramatic brows, so take that into consideration. I really think that color is perfect for your hair as it is now and for your natural hair color. ❤

[@PamelaH_HappyVibes]

I think the Kosas glow product made your skin look a little textured. Your skin always looks wonderful so try the Tarte primer without using the Kosas product. Your eyes and blush are so flattering.

[@kimberlysh88]

I'm waiting to hear reviews of the CT matte blush wands!

[@roselynmvm]

That Kosas primer was rough with that shimmer. You put the tarte primer first and your pores went away, and then you put that Kosas primer and puff!!..pores are back again but this time with stadium lights on it, Lol. I would get rid of that Kosas primer soooo fast. Wouldn’t be surprised the Nars foundation would do much better without it. In the end it was a beautiful look though :)

[@amb29630]

The Jones road bronzer going on was sooooo satisfying, wow!

[@estellemondine7712]

Great brows

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

You might want to try Grown Alchemist anti pollution primer; it is the best primer ive tried for smoothing texture, wow it looks soooo good and i have wrinkles, big pores, & acne pits from my youth. Only thing i dont like is that it dries my skin out, but i have very dehydrated skin, so it might be perfect 4 u! And I am So excited that balm stains are back!!! I still have one left from the 2010s lol, I know it's so old but it's in great shape & is the perfect wearable warm burgundy....

[@bee42Sad]

You should do a video of Sephora prices then and now!

[@tinnuriel9972]

I am so happy you are reviewing the NARS foundation ❤ I am on the fence ….. buying or not. I have line lines and have dry skin 😅

[@jaimeford9404]

Im also the shade Mont Blanc in the NARS foundation and I LOVE it!!!! It does last all day and it goes on beautifully!!! It looks great on you too Lauren!!!!

[@Thistastesbad]

I love your brows!

[@elisa-beary]

Putting the glittery primer right over top the smoothing one definitely counteracts it. I’d try the tarte primer again and keep an additional primer away from the pore/center face area- at least to truly see how it works. 😊

[@samanthanapoli997]

lauren i love your energy in this video! very fun to watch! i hope you’re feeling better since your last declutter!

[@bridget663]

I'm glad they seem to have reformulated the Tower 28 lip balm. The one I got in a Sephora Favorites kit was the consistency of vaseline melting out of the tube. Too messy to use. I might try again.

[@risahp]

I look forward to a Lauren video every evening-perfect finish to the day. I love the Rose Inc blushes-yes, I have them all-and just got the plum eyeshadow duo but was less than impressed the one time I tried it. After seeing you apply your’s, pretty sure I need to retry it using my fingers. I always learn so much from you. I plan to purchase the tower 28 liner when it’s back in stock. I have fallen in love with tower 28 recently. I so appreciate all your great reviews and the laughter you bring to us. 💜💜💜💜

[@Rain_Reign]

Adding niacinamide into your skin care routine can help reduce oiliness over time. As an oily gal it’s a wonderful ingredient and has made my pores look smaller 👍🏻👍🏻

[@cherylb_88]

I started using the dew drips from Glow recipe and my skin went from more combo oily to normal so I completely agree with this

[@pixidanberty5530]

Pumpkin you are your own worst enemy. We adore you here.

[@roselynmvm]

Why is she her own worst enemy? 🤔

[@pixidanberty5530]

@@roselynmvm we often are our worst critics.

[@Highlyhazel]

The Make Beauty Hydrascape is surprisingly really smoothing

[@cstatum1]

The best pore primer I've ever found is the loreal magic perfecting base. If you haven't tried it, you might want to give it a shot.

[@oliviagulino8309]

I have combo/oily skin and when I use the Nars foundation, I have to use a hydrating primer with a pore filling primer in the t-zone and then only use a small amount of the foundation because if I try to use more than 2-ish pumps, it looks heavy on me. I hope that helps!

[@ays6394]

Lauren you should try the glowish blur jam primer for your pores i like it more than the tarte one

[@emilyschrodek9688]

Love the nars light reflecting foundation!

[@blendofdays]

You tested so many things I've been curious about so thank you! I want that Bobbi Brown (Jones road) bronzer in the lightest shade so badly!

[@orirose9100]

your videos are the only makeup content that makes me want to wear makeup!! i love your stuff, thank you for keeping us all company

[@suzym8166]

I use the Tarte putty primer for my pores (t-zone) as well and I really like how it works, press it in don't brush it around with your fingers. It does take a bit of practice. I don't use another primer over the Tarte just on the outside of my face, I know high maintenance. I am a big fan of buying mini's to see if you actually like a product and the satisfaction of using up the whole thing.

[@jossalyn5632]

Tati still uses that Tarte a whole lot and I don't even watch her that often. Ive been wanting to buy it for a long time.

[@jackivacha]

I love the tart primer! I think what happened was when you put the kosas on it kind of pushed the primer away.

[@hhslovesdilum]

Yay you’re finally trying the NARS foundation! I clicked as soon as I saw it in the thumbnail. I’m about 10 seconds into the video, I hope you love it as much as I do!

[@gbtink]

I’ve been using the tower 28 lip liners and I love them with the tower 28 clear gloss. So pretty and lasts all day!

[@p.williams]

I had a flashback to Huda beauty liquid highlight when it was a "trend" to put it under foundation 😬 skin has texture, so it's a no for me on the glitter bases

[@mellywest8825]

[@graceleathers5970]

[@reneeadams3177]

That eyeshadow is gorgeous 😍

[@missmollyo3742]

MICRO-NEEDLING and using TRETINOIN, have made my very visible pores and oily skin disappear. I'm telling you if you want to do the most to combat large pores microneedling is the way to go. It is seriously transformative. My only regret is that i didn't start earlier.

[@TracyD2]

The eyeshadow is beautiful on you. I haven’t bought anything from rose inc yet.

[@justsayin1991]

That Nars Light Reflecting foundation is absolutely beautiful. Definitely one of my favorites for sure👌🏼 I've been super curious about the Iconic London brow gel. You talked me into it, putting it in my cart right now lol

[@kathie4669]

I need that eyeshadow color. Your eyes are stunning 😍

[@brunom72]

it's sooooo cool to see you smile & goof around with your viewers !!! you made my morning LM 🙂

[@lavieenlavande]

That NARS foundation is one of my favorites-I’m the shade Yukon which is close to Mont Blanc but on the cooler side. In my opinion, NARS complexion products (foundation, concealer, primer, etc) have the best undertones for my skin and they wear so well. The Light Reflecting foundation can be worn a bit lighter or built up nicely like you did, so it’s very flexible. I think the Kosas product really messed things up, so I hope it wears better for you without the Kosas. Also, I love your brows-I think you’re probably used to them being a bit darker or whatever, but that product today was really nice and looks so natural!

[@sydeezy17]

I would use the Tarte one after more moisturizing/glowy primers. It reminds me of the ELF putty primer but a little bit more refined.

[@micharellano67]

Maryam uses BM mineral veil to help with pores and texture and it really works....just pressed in on a dense brush. I'm shocked at how well it works

[@tracyhernan8617]

I love the Tarte smoothing primer I have been using it for years. I would recommend putting it on after your glowy products

Tarte Busy Gal Brow is marked way down (less than half price) on the Canadian Tarte website. I hope that doesn't mean they're discontinuing it. $13 Cdn -- that's practically free in US dollhairs!

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

Not a bad look for untried products straight out of the box...liked the brows, I also have fair hair, but I ended up having my brows done permanently....cute❤ ....

[@courtneyjaddock2189]

I love the tarte poreless primer on my nose and around my nose/cheek. Don’t find it works great on my forehead or anywhere else but where those big pores are it’s awesome! And the Nars light reflecting has been a go to for me lately! I just got the Stila heavens hue highlight in kitten and it’s quite similar to the Pat McGrath 2021 holiday highlight! But I don’t think anything compares to that to be honest. My crown embossment is almost completely gone now

[@CareyXO]

I have been on the hunt to find the perfect primer to fill in my pores because it drives me crazy. I’ve spent sooo much money on the search and I finally found the one for me and it’s an old product that costs $10. It’s the NYX Pore Filler. It’s a weird product, it almost spits out in clumps because of the texture (if it was in a jar probably wouldn’t do that) but I really really press it into problem areas like pores, fine lines and texture and my face has never looked so smooth and it works with all my foundations and doesn’t make me oily. I let it sit like 1-2 minutes before I put on my foundation. Even though I’m always tempted to buy new primers, I don’t think I will because it works that well, is accessible and inexpensive.

[@lanaesworld6976]

Omg thank you for reminding me!! I have tried so much also!

[@CareyXO]

@@lanaesworld6976 I almost didn’t try it because it’s weird the way it comes out in clumps, but I’m glad I did. I just really work the clumps and it does smooth out. Sometimes I smooth it out with my fingers first. I think maybe if it wasn’t in squeeze packaging it wouldn’t come out like that. 🤷🏻‍♀️
