LUXURY MAKEUP: WHAT'S WORTH ITS $$$ (& What's NOT!)

[@christinaivic667]

Knowing that Benefit's Hoola costs about $5 CAD per gram and the Marc Jacobs Tan-Tastic cost $2.60 really makes you think about how you're spending your money. I know many people don't use price per gram costs because a lot of people don't pan products. But for people with smaller collections who do get their use out of the products, it may be useful.

[@shiva-rh1nm]

Thanks for sharing this tips

[@harks_kr276]

That's why I love bronzer/blush pallettes too esp when all the colours are nice, it helps to get value that way. The benefit cheerleaders has hoola og and caramel, I mix them both, both full size pans!

[@JKat94]

I definitely consider how much product I get the price, that's why I didn't mind spending my money on the Marc Jacobs bronzer PLUS the color is so nice for my skin tone. I struggle with bronzers looking too orange or just too dark and that one is so perfect in color (and I love the smell haha)

[@vivianlui7851]

yess, thiss 😁 if im gonna spend the money on higher end makeup, i always go by cost per gram, versus price tag and how much product im getting although my collection isnt small 😅

[@teahpip]

Taytay Queen I was using that one but I went through two in a year so I swapped rip but it’s amazing hey. I have had the Marc Jacobs one for over a year now and I haven’t gone through it. I wear makeup almost every day:))

[@christinam4608]

Who else needs fashion content from jamie? A closet tour, clothing haul, wardrobe staples pleaaaaase

[@patriciagoodwin1922]

yes pleazzzzzze!!!

[@Shelbyxoxok3]

I second wardrobe essentials!!!!!!

[@tonii260]

i was thinking the same thing! this denim shirt looks gorggggg

[@pw1445]

And jewelry!

[@imolakiss]

You have no idea how many times I’ve asked her for this in the last 2 years! (Or whenever that styling collab video with Allana was). Even DMs and comments on IG which she responded to and she promised to make it (and then never did😒). She has a lot of fun stuff in her wardrobe that she doesn’t show us and you can only catch glimpses of

[@Gem.claire]

Will you be doing a “what I will be purchasing” or a “what I recommend to purchase” for the spring Sephora sale?

[@wendyraye]

Ummmmm, maybe next spring?🙃

[@Hightopsdynomite375]

If Charlotte Tillbury came out with more shades of the powders it would be such a hit!

[@MsMassiel11]

Chloe Lisette yes, the shade range is so wack. I bought it and gave it away because it made my tan skin look ghostly. It was terrible and overpriced

[@ivoryglass3589]

I heard she is going too

[@1024sofia]

i agree! the dark shade scares me like am i gonna look like an ashy ghost?

[@neenubains5270]

Totally agree! The medium looks too light for my NC35 skin and the dark looks too dark! What do ya do!

[@TheClauMiau]

Even the fair shade looks darker on my NC18 skin 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@lindsaygillis6812]

Thanks for talking about the Dior lip oils! I was lusting after them for the past week and this video confirmed what I already knew: I don’t need a $45 clear lipgloss 😆

[@lindsayp8131]

My fave luxe product is the Lisa Eldridge lipstick in Decade. I mean....damn. So beautiful. No regrets.

[@petratorkar4402]

For anyone looking for a translucent bronzer formula like the tom ford one, try the dr. Hauschka translucent gel bronzer, even Katie Jane Hughes talked about it😊

[@cornelias.5271]

Oh thanks I will look into the Dr hauschka bronzer :)

[@marcellahte]

please do a video on your favorite lip balms / lip oils / lip masks! and maybe the ones you didnt like so much

[@staciecremeans1350]

Marcella Herrmann If you are looking for a lip balm recommendations, I highly suggest Jack Black lip balm. I’ve been using it for over two weeks and my lips look and feel so much better.

[@marinajankovic948]

jamie!! your eyeliner!! 😍 my dream video from you would be tutorials on how to use color (yellow, lilac, orange, pink, etc) in cool ways on the eyes and also product recs! feel like i have no clue where to get started w good colorful eye products and looks

[@sammyevans6266]

I love the guerlain gold primer! It changed my foundation game. Whenever I use it, my makeup always stays looking fresh for longer. Although I haven’t experienced this, my mother says this primer makes her skin firmer and that it gives her face a lifted look. Also, I’ve had my bottle for over a year now, so a little goes a long way (tbf I don’t use it everyday). So that’s why I think it’s worth it. But hey, different strokes for different folks. Anyway, love your videos, Jamie! They make my quarantine more bearable ❤️❤️

[@ruthanderson2518]

Sammy Evans same here! I also really love my gurlain lor! I feel that my makeup looks better with it than without. Idk, maybe I was just thinking that because I spent money on it. But I do enjoy it and will repurchase 😄😄

[@vanessaladescarada165]

The tightening sensation from the high denatured alcohol content in this primer.Denatured alcohol is the drying alchohol type .That plus the heavy perfume gonna do more harm than good to your skin in the long term

[@pro6703]

That CT powder is beautiful-and I have combination, sensitive skin. 😂 The Marc Jacobs mirror is great to use for makeup application if you’re under 50. I need x5, x10, and even x20 for tweezing.

[@spruhakurlekar261]

I'm SO happy to see the Lisa Eldridge lipsticks on here because they're seriously THE BEST

[@omgitskerbs]

You make me want to buy some Lisa Eldridge lipsticks!!!

[@ayeshauddin9108]

I love your content, you have such a pleasing personality Jamie...xoxo

[@Lizzie-ve7kt]

Thank you for talking about the Lisa Eldridge lipsticks! I feel like so many people pass them over for other, often even more expensive, lipsticks from larger brands because they may not watch her channel or know the products’ incredible history. Her lipsticks are truly unique as she’s the first to ever develop the velvet like texture that really can only be seen in person or in a still photo, and only releases them once or maybe twice a year because it’s such an intricate and time consuming process for them to be made. I hope she’s able to patent or protect her technique because I think the specialness of the velvet texture would be lost with a big brand mass producing it. These lipsticks are truly a labor of love, even more so than other makeup artist owned brand.

[@cornelias.5271]

Jamie you look stunning :) I love when you rave about the Hourglass scattered light shadows! They are my HG go to.. I have to get up early (4:10) for work and I never reach for palettes in the morning but these little pots of joy are so quick and easy and they are soooo pretty! I hope they add a few more shades like an ivory, darker chocolate, a brighter blue ..

[@sarahsubias5911]

I really wish you would release your own makeup. I can’t tell you how many times you put me onto a product that was life changing, or saved me from a heinous financial decision , and help me become a smarter consumer over all. You are such a refined, lovely, well spoken gem, Jamie! ♥️Thank you for what you do, never think it’s not appreciated!

[@pro6703]

I got the Abeille Royale Youth Watery Oil as a gift. It smells marvellous and it’s not greasy feeling. When I asked a product consultant about usage, she said I can use it as a primer and a moisturizer, especially under powder foundation. I found that it’s too much in the t-zone. I now use it on the drier parts of my face. It does come in a variety of sizes, so to try it is less than the 1 ounce price.

[@neenubains5270]

Hi Jaime - how would you compare the TF Shade & Illuminate with the *new* Chanel Healthy Cream Bronzing Cream (which replaced the Bronzing Makeup Base)? I'm sure lots of your followers would love to see a side-by-side comparison! You said that you preferred the bronzer only for the TF one. So, I'm wondering if the Chanel one is a close luxury dupe?

[@degreepursuer3141]

Between you, Mariah, and Allana I felt like I had no choice but to get the scattered light eye shadows. Pleased to report I have no regrets. 🤎

[@juliaharvey11]

I was kind of interested in the DIOR lip oil. Thank you for steering me clear of an overpriced lip product!

[@hannahgill5449]

i love that eyeliner you're wearing xx

[@obviousbutitsnot]

Yes! What is it?

[@swedishlina]

I think it might be the green skywash from glossier, it is extremely similar in colour but I'm not 💯 on it though.

[@obviousbutitsnot]

@@swedishlina I have the green skywash and it doesn't build up as bright or pigmented as that, so I'm not sure

[@giethelsamonte7962]

Looks like a brighter version of glossier play colorslide yellow

[@jessicarose9441]

I just finally splurged on the Charlotte Tilbury Powder, I couldn’t justify the price because I usually don’t use powder at all since I have dry skin and prefer dewy hydrating products. I was actually surprised it provides as much coverage as it does. Everyone always says it’s so good for setting the under eye, but I find it too heavy for that. It is sooooo soft, smooth, and really minimizes your pores so def still worth it and I’m glad I finally bought it ❤️ oh and the Marc Jacobs tantastic is my absolute favorite bronzer! I use it every time I do my makeup and still have not made a dent in it. You look gorgeous! Are you planning on doing another live on Instagram or have a missed it lol loved the last one you did

[@samanthasavage6639]

Pat McGrath palettes I 100% agree. They are literally my favorites.

[@kmsweetieXx]

The dior lip oil is one of my favourites!! Only the colour Rosewood and its my holy grail shade of all time. The best MLBB shade on me and adds the most beautiful juicy shine to my lips im just obsessed

[@krueltyfreekelly]

Great video! 🙂 I'm never going to be able to afford luxury makeup but I'm still watching. 😛 I actually had some Flower beauty lipsticks that had that velvet texture and they were launched way before the lisa Eldridge ones.

[@Lizzie-gm4vl]

Omg I am SO thankful that your first product was the CT Airbrush Flawless Powder, I literally bought it tonight and was starting to have buyer's remorse

[@lebarr9235]

What a great video! I had question on many of these products! So loved hearing your opinion thank you! Can you do a video on more face mist sprays that you recommend please.

[@coconuthead4854]

omg im just waiting for that damn TF creme bronzer to be a single, I know it will happen, and Itll happen after I brake and buy and 2 compact! ALSO I love hourglass and almost everything from the line, I juat bought that eyeshadow in the green and I love it!!

[@maggierobertson2962]

What happened to the rest of your lip declutter?

[@GlitterFallout]

Love this list! My happiest luxe items are all from Natasha Denona: Sunset Palette and the Bloom Blush & Glow Palette. The quality is just...superb. They spark joy for me in a Marie Kondo kind of way and I'm all about it.

[@allisongrady3262]

Glitter Fallout I love my bloom palette too. My ex boyfriend bought it for me and I de cluttered all the other stuff he bought me but I can’t part with that blush palette. I love it. ❤️ Edit we broke up like a year ago lol not recently.

[@amberbenson7885]

i use the serum stick every day and love it. the dryness under my eyes is insane and this is the only thing i’ve found to prep my under eyes for concealer (as layer #3) that actually works. i think it just depends on what you need... if you are insanely dry there’s no way to get enough hydration and moisture in one layer

[@laukahh]

The Colourpop Lux Lipsticks are my fav lipsticks in the whole world. They feel so damn luxorious. Packaging is absolutely mindblowing (looks like the lisa eldridge lipsticks), and the product itself is amazing, too. I just can't get over it.

[@walkerfamily8626]

Would love a tutorial on your makeup today! The cheeks, lips, eyes - you are truly glowing!

[@madisonhum4303]

how are you so underrated jamie??? i liveee for your videos, especially this series!

[@debbiebubblescunico8042]

I did some research and read that the gold particles in the guerlain primer is actually not great for the skin and being that it’s in a primer really has no benefits whatsoever! I ended up decluttering mine when I started focusing on clean skincare and beauty. Hope that helps 😘

[@aleishakelly8690]

Would love to see some fashion related content from you Jamie because I love your style ♥️

[@juliaharvey11]

I love the Hourglass eyeshadows! They’re so pretty! I use my mom’s, but I want to go get some for myself!

[@alischurz]

I’m gonna need a link to that mirror in the background 😍 just bought my first house and that absolutely needs to be in my bedroom!

[@itsJeaaan1]

Jessica Braun said she loves the No7 Powder and is a dupe of the CT Powder. I want to try it out soon to know if it’s really similar because I love the blurring effect but can’t find it anywhere else.

[@jocelyn_josue]

I might try the Hourglass scattered lights. Grreat suggestions!

[@cornelias.5271]

They are stunning and soo easy!

[@terezaburgueraameave3584]

I think Clarins lip comfort oil is very much comparable with the Dior one and they were first to come with them on the market. I´ve tried them both, love them both, but if you are on a budget, you can go totally for the Clarins one and won´t regret it. xoxo

[@zeetadean1978]

I have one of Marc Jacobs lipsticks and it’s got the same magnetic closure and it feels so luxurious as well 😬

[@AnnieKaminskiy427]

Unpopular opinion but the Charlotte tilbury bar of gold highlighter palette is my everyday highlighter and I absolutely love it. Wasn’t that impressed at first considering the price tag but I reach for that over everything else in my drawer and it’s just perfect! No glitter particles, just a beautiful glow

[@Amira-cc3id]

Hi Jamie ! Thank you for this video! If you want a fantastic hydrating mist , you have to try the Karine Joncas Youth Elixir ( canadian brand skincare, you can buy it on her website) . I’ve tried the Omorovicza mist before and I really prefer the Karine Joncas one ! And it’s much much cheaper ! The ingredients are all good for skin . Have a good day ! 🌸

[@carielynn9530]

I love the Charlotte Tilbury powder, but I went though it so so fast due to how finely milled it is. So even though I really enjoy it the price is way higher based on how much use you get out of it. For that reason I haven't repurchased sadly :(

[@mackenzieharrell736]

Omg what a genius video idea!!! I love it so much. Also love the eyeliner 😍

[@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens]

*Oh, Jamie. You must try the Bodyography Glitter Pigments. They're just like the Hourglass Scattered Light pigments. They make your lids look WET.*

[@alisonjames496]

Could you please do a best and worst on facial mists? So many out there I don't know where to start! X

[@emayawilkins]

Please show us how you did that dreamy yellow eyeliner! So fun for spring!

[@juliaharvey11]

I completely agree with the Tatcha Serum Stick! Now I just use it as a lip serum/ lip balm

[@pescaditodiabolico]

I never tried the Charlotte tilbury powder but I really like the milani prep+set+glow powder. I have dry skin and that powder never makes me look dry.its so fine and kinda sounds similar to Charlotte's. I dont really apply much but still love it.

[@louisianalevy7484]

Did my makeup while watching this video and put on my scattered light shadow from Hourglass! I ended up getting it because you have recommended them so much and I love it! So freaking wearable and with how much I use it (tons!) totally worth the investment vs a pallete where I’ll only use a few shades! ❤️❤️❤️

[@michelascheuerman7166]

Thank you for the guidance, Jamie! Your videos are always so fun and interesting

[@michellefajardo7571]

Great and honest review, thank you for all your hard work.

[@obviousbutitsnot]

What eyeliner are you wearing? I love it! 💛

[@Kimberley_DB]

I know this has absolutely nothing to do with the video but your hair just looks so beautiful. I remember your lighter hair, your darker hair is way prettier! Also love how honest and humble you are. Take care x.

[@tammyroy9042]

So the Lisa Eldridge lipsticks...... yes absolutely stunning. I have 2 of the summer pinks but just be aware that by the time you pay for all the shipping duties etc it was $120CDN for 2 lipsticks - $60 each 😳😬 and yes I did spend that and no will never ever tell my husband lol I’m a HUGE Lisa fan - have been for years so they were worth it to me just for the experience but it’s more than luxe - it’s super luxe 🥰 Always love to see your recs........very interested in the HG scattered lights. Keep safe 🙏 Tammy Roy 🇨🇦

[@joanschaefer]

I've used the Guerlain primer...I like it but I don't think I would buy it again. It leaves me more hydrated and not greasy. I have combo skin.

[@kansasgirl73]

If you are scared of powder feeling dry you need to try the Aquasurance from JCat Beauty. I have never found a powder that didn't make me feel dry like it.

[@TheLondon67]

If you want a hydrating face mist, try the magic moisture instead, actually moisturises :)

[@LittleGreyDove]

I use the Tatcha serum stick soley for under my eyes. I have really dry under eyes and I really love it for that. I would not use it anywhere else tho.

[@Danielle-and-Deborah]

The Kevyn Aucoin Neo Elixer beauty oil was the best oil I've ever used - and it was discontinued, of course.

[@jovana_kocic]

Oh, WOW ... this is so cool, at 5:01- 5:06 you can see that the velvet in Lisa's lipsticks looks almost pixelated! that probably means that a higher technology is used, and they're not just dipped into a powder or something. And Jamie, again, you can pronounce it like Omorovitza. I believe in you :))

[@ElinaG85]

I’m so on the verge of buying the Tom ford bronzer. Nordstrom has it for 15% off!

[@omgitskerbs]

Elina Gluskin Sephora sale is coming for rouge and vib in 4/17 until 5/1 and if you are rouge you get 20% off! You might want to wait if you get the good sale or know someone that gets it

[@ElinaG85]

Kerbs OT thats a good point! I’ve been waiting for the sale.

[@JamiePaige]

ou! thats great!

[@Rachel-cm6mt]

Don't have any Luxury products but for high end I love the Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi to fix with foundation to get a tan glow, and Fenty stick in Mocha as a cream bronzer. I also love Anastasia brow powder. I am sure there are cheaper alternatives for these so when I am out I will look into it, but for now I use all three daily.

[@tiffprendergast]

Rachel Porter don’t use cheap brow stuff or Anastasia. Get the colourpop one

[@redaged836]

Bonjour Jamie, i have plurged for all Lisa Eldrige lipsticks (velvets and saturated as well sheer collection) and i am such a fan. For sure very best lipsticks on the market. For spring j'adore velvet morning and rainbow spill. It makes me so happy every time i wear it :)

[@emilyskailes5432]

I love the Lisa Eldridge lipsticks because they are fully matte but not flat looking. Only problem is I took my Velvet Fawn out on NYE, had a wild night out until 5am and next time to took out the lipstick use I realised it was wobbling around in the tube 😭😭😭 (I still use it though! 😉)

[@chickflickangel]

Loving the liner 🤩

[@itszoemichelle2]

I hear the flower beauty pressed powder and the no 7 are close dupes to the Charlotte Tilbury!

[@nvlog1710]

I feel like a decent dupe for the Lisa Eldridge lipsticks might be the NYX matte suede bullet lipsticks. They look completely matte but they feel kind of powdery and slightly slippery at the same time, they've very comfortable to wear and they give a gorgeous effect even just slightly patted on the lips.

[@sweettarrt]

What brush do you use with the Charlotte tilbury powder?

[@Judith21123]

always love a good like this. Helps us see what's worth getting or not. I couldn't stop staring at the gorgeous yellow liner you had on in this video Jamie! Also fun random video idea if you're up for it: try walking us through a makeup tutorial in French! I love watching Kathleenlights do hers in Spanish and it's always entertaining!

[@hannahging2711]

any product where the selling point is the gold content is a gimmick. Gold is one of the most unnreactive elements on the periodic table, the likelihood of the gold having any impact on your skin is laughable

[@variniaquinonespesso4581]

Hannah Ging * cough * cough* 👀FARSALI

[@breannaramos2200]

The sad thing is that I'm completely aware of that and agree, but I still buy it because it's beautiful 😂

[@shesandrea]

This saved me from buying the tatcha serum stick!! Definitely makes sense what you’re saying lol Thanks Jamie 🥴😊

[@Henschke007]

This is perfect timing. I'm on the hunt for some new make up and am looking at high end items. I recently bought the Hourglass Amient Lighting Pallet and am only using 2 shades. Am uming and ahhing about whether to keep trying with the brand or look for something else.

[@AKX_5]

As a combo skin girl I love the Guerlain L’Or primer. It keeps my makeup long wearing also helps that I get a discount otherwise it’s super pricey. I’m in my fourth bottle 🙈

[@luohuiying4505]

LOR for me is so worth the money! i have used up 1 and have 3 backup! lovvvve it!

[@alicepictoria7125]

Floored you didn’t mention the Natasha Denona Biba palette?!?! Loving this neon eye with the red lip, giving me KJH vibes 😍🔥

[@JamiePaige]

i love the biba, and was actually going to include it! but i felt like the PG palettes needed some love

[@luohuiying4505]

LOR is suitable for super dry skin. the experience using it is very enjoyable. It hydrate my skin better than other primer. When my face have some peeling， it just smooth it， and make my application of foundation better

[@patriciagoodwin1922]

I was like hold everything, Jamie has a video up! I love your videos girl, so relaxing, thank you. I feel the same way about Charlotte Tilbury shadows as you do about Pat McGrath shadows and ya know I just might add one to my cart sometime, I'm usually late to the party! LOL! Have really nice weekend, hugsZ!.

[@trudib]

Yay! Great video. Got to watch you a lot this week which is always an added plus for me!

[@KaterinaGketi]

Hey girl please do a closet tour💗

[@redzgirl2476]

I love the yellow eye!! looks really good... I have way too many luxury and high end favorites but a couple right now are the Gucci sheer lipsticks, I have Marguerite jade and katrin sand and I really love them both. Also love my Natasha Denona palettes, I have 9 of them and no duds really... and Tom Ford Mink Mirage, also loving the Bobbi Brown serum concealer. I really have 2ay too much to put all that I love into a comment. I need to check out those Hourglass eye pots. I keep passing them by, but you got me interested...oh and the tatcha stick..I agree it isnt that special. But the tatcha lip balm and the tatcha pearl are special in my opinion.

[@luzjimenez1408]

Burberry fresh glow foundation is my all-time favorite luxury item 😊

[@kelly.smith22]

Another amazing and informative vid 💕 would love to see a 5 best 5 worst skincare 😊

[@souljagirl324199]

I wouldn’t say it has as much coverage as a powder foundation but it does have a bit of a tint. It’s very sheer but yes such a good powder! Good for all skin types but doesn’t control oil

[@0oXfenxiXo0]

I have use the guerlain primer. It doesn’t do much at all. But the packaging is the best part of it. I did regret buying it.

[@beauty_uncovered]

For me, the Charlotte Tilbury powders don't work. I tried the medium first and it left such a yellow tint on my skin, even when super sparingly used. I bought the fair one, and it's way too light and cool-toned on me. When I have the patience, I try to mix the two of them to get the right tone for me. I have the other Marc Jacobs bronzer that had a black packaging, and loooove it! A while ago I was able to snag a Pat McGrath 6 pan palette from her website for 50% off. OMG, her shadows are so good, but I can't bring myself to spend $170 before tax on 10 shadows. Definitely a beautiful formula though. I'm going to stick to my Natasha Denona and Viseart shadows for now. I do like the Guerlain primer, but I also didn't pay for it, I redeemed Shoppers Optimum points on it. If I had to pay for it, I'm not sure that I would. It feels nice, I like the smell, even though it's heavier than what I'm used too. And I'm with you with the Tatcha serum stick!! I bought it because I was excited for a targeted serum for under eyes and lines....then afterwards I was like, oh...there's no way to keep it sanitary. Now, I'm off to find Lisa Eldridge lipstick. Thanks for a great video!!

[@karenbryden-blom4731]

[@cathymccarthy5360]

I was late to the party with the Marc Jacobs Tantastic bronzer, but I’m so glad I finally bought it last year. 🤗 I’ve got another expensive mist that I regretted buying...LaMer The Mist. Waste of money!!! Better off buying a K-Beauty brand for a lot less. 😬 One that I would add to the list...Westman Atelier Peau de Peche super loaded highlighter. It was about $115 in Australia 😮, but it’s a bronzer, blush and highlighter in one for light to medium skin tones. I love it. 💗
