“5 Brands” you NEED to try ASAP

[@debrap5758]

Your makeup today is extra fabulous. I think it’s the gray eyeshadow! I LOVE a gray eyeshadow - so tired of the red, yellow and orangey brown shadows - that is Beautiful on you. The whole look is gorgeous - YOU are gorgeous!

[@riri_hins]

Can I second that?

[@elizabethgavrilova8181]

Yes to this!! I have brown eyes like Nikki and I love using grey eyeshadow cuz it makes my eyes pop so much

[@Jessicanadine1985]

Yes this eye look is stunning! She’s always stunnning but extra gorgeous today

[@Victoria-zn9dp]

Yes! Cool tones really suits her!

[@mrdriguezzzz]

YEEESSSS!!! My thoughts throughout this whole video… PLEASSEEEE do a tutorial on this make up look🥺🥺

[@nancidansouis7633]

Based on your recommendations, I have LYS, Ciele & Kulfi products in my make-up space. Pretty much everything you recommended from those brands have become my OG’s! I love the LYS creme bronzer and blush. I used the Ciele skin tint, blush and bronzing stick ALL summer. Yes, I used it WITH my regular SPF. I just got three of the Kulfi eye shadows. I am 74 and people stop me (STILL!) to ask what I’m wearing!!!! Your make up recommendations and tips have changed my life. 😊

[@jordanashtonsmith5436]

This video was just posted 10 hours ago..?

[@edierhoads5880]

Yes but she’s recommended these brands before

[@PrettyPrettyWarpaint]

PLEASE do a video recreating your makeup look in this video. Soooooo goooooood ❤️😍

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

Ciele's concealer is fantastic..not so much for my under eyes but if you have a blemish or dark spot, it's PERFECTION. I often even just use their concealer as my foundation. Love love love it!!!💚

[@Spectralevidence-1692]

You are the 2nd person to say that, now I'm really intrigued- because I'm always in hunt for concealers that I can use as base as well. Than kyou.

[@alfredmeneses5496]

I just visited the Mob website and I’m excited to try their products. I love that you can make your own custom pallet and they help you by giving options based on your skin tone.

[@kristajohnson7067]

Nikki I would luurrrvvvv to see a collab video with Bailey Sarian where you do her makeup, please! You guys together would just make all my spooky fangirl dreams come true 🖤

[@chrissylee325]

This is my favorite idea ever 😂

[@sborstner44]

Love your eye look today. Please do a tutorial on this! Please 🙏🏻

[@purebarregirlie]

Yesss! I immediately checked to see if she listed what palette she used!

[@mrdriguezzzz]

Yesss pleaseeee do a Tutorial on this entire Make up🥺💕 also Love the base, the cheeks so much you look so stunning!!!!

[@StephanieHurst-y8g]

Yes, please I have been searching for information on the colors you used and other videos, but can’t find anything.

[@FashionPassion431]

Nikki!! Please please PLEASE do a dedicated video on indie eyeshadow palettes!!! Specifically Ensley Reign, Lethal Cosmetics, Cliondagh, Bellabeautebar and Adept!!!

[@valerieblanks]

Yaaaaaaaaas for the LYS shout-out!! One of the BEST new brands to hit the market🎉. I also LOVE Ciele🎉. And thank you for highlighting female and minority founders!

[@missredhead5995]

“I think makeup artists make the best makeup products because - we know what we are doing.” THANK YOU SOMEONE HAD TO SAY IT GOSH FIIIIINALLY and if someone had something to say about this WE ATTACC AT DAWN

[@lesliehatch-herman9325]

😂😂 Yaasssss!!!!

[@larissanoon]

@@missredhead5995 would LOVE an all pros makeup lines video. And will ride with you (chef) because all artists deserve support. Especially NlaR❤️

[@vanydakhiev3910]

I’m into Danessa Myricks right now. I love HER! I love the way she thinks about products being multi-use. I love how she thinks about components to be practical yet still sleek. And her products are reasonably priced for the quality.

[@elizabethjohnson6773]

Loving this look! So happy you included what you used for this look!

[@melp8175]

I love mob, sparkle balm , eyeshadow, powder, matte shadow. Lys, love it all ! Kulfi, I haven’t liked liners as the component breaks twice. Just bought one shadow and looks perfect . CIELE, I bought it all during hot days of summer for extra spf , and loved them . Melt…… on my list for future testing! Great list ! 😮😮❤

[@kimboehler3819]

I love MOB beauty too and agree their powder eyeshadows are really nice! They blend so well, better than many other brands.

[@KareninHouston]

Nikki that eyeshadow makes your eyes look like you have gold in them. Very beautiful !

[@melissaneal3808]

I didn’t realize the Melt ladies were fellow, former MAC artists. That explains so much!!!! I always thought Melt was like MAC in the good old days when I worked for them too. Chef’s kiss to them! 😘♥️

[@professlch6347]

IMHO? You are SO RIGHT about LYS. The color payoff? The outrageous AMOUNT of product delivered for the price points? DIVINE. Thanks also for mentioning Ciele; you've placed it on my radar now.

[@gabbyastudillo5991]

Wow Nikki that brown eye liner looks gorgeous on you perfection ❤great video Ty.

[@fernr3837]

I love love love the MOB foundation! The color match is so spot on, the formula is skin-like, it works on both the dry and oily parts of my face, it feels so comfortable, and it’s actually blurring. I reach for it above all my other concealers (I don’t really do all-over foundation). I also love the MOB powder - still leaves a glow, never cake-y, just so lovely!!

[@crissycrisss1893]

Nikki I love your makeup application and love your recommendations. You're one of the few influencers I actually believe ❤

[@cierraaforever]

sona sona is my next to purchase from kulfi! i literally gasped when i swatched the shades available at my sephora and sona sona instantly got added to my cart. i have their concealer and i think it’s going to be a continual purchase for me.

[@sydeezy17]

Your lashes look STUNNING with that mascara! Definitely on my wish list 😍

[@marielalazala6662]

I love everything about LYS. I'm so happy you showcase their products on your channel. Would love to see you do an entire look with their products. Thank you Nikki! I really trust all your suggestions.

[@heathersue429]

The Melt Cosmetics Universal Monsters collab is so impressive in terms of the quality of the products and the incorporation of the theme. I can't stop talking about it! I'm using the backpack as my everyday purse because I love it so much. There are sooo many collabs now that they all blend together, which unfortunately results in great ones like this getting lost in the sea of mediocrity. Thank you, Nikki, for featuring this on your channel! I also love the LYS bronzer, and I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Kulfi lip stain, blush, and eye shadow with my Sephora sale order.

[@CamrynCarter-wx2es]

hey Nikki!! I love your channel so much and I just wanted to say that you are seriously one of my favorite KZbinrs, I have learned a lot by watching your tips and tricks for makeup! your are amazing and such an inspiration!! I always appreciate how kind you are, it always makes my entire day whenever you respond! thank your for all you do! I hope you have an amazing day!!🩷🫶🏻

[@rebeccatran9695]

So glad to hear you mention that the lys stick foundation is a great alternative to the Dior. Foundation stick. I picked one up a couple weeks ago. I've have been loving it. Love your videos and love your recommendations

[@amessina4333]

I’m so confused! The eye look today is STUNNING, but I can’t figure out which of the shades you used from that Melt Cosmetics eye palette! They look so green/yellow! We need a tutorial Nikki 🤗🙏❤️

[@RMfromATX]

I received a LYS bronzer a few years ago in my Allure beauty box. I still love and use it. Thank you for featuring their brand!

[@verasteguii]

Please do an olive skin tutorial. Love you!❤

[@emilyeggan3376]

I have never been disappointed with a single one of your recommendations, and I can't thank you enough - THANK YOU ❤

[@MichelleShepherd-vn1ol]

You’re such an amazing makeup artist. If you say they are great we KNOW they are great. I love your passion for makeup and the brands you love. Not to mention you’re absolutely gorgeous and have the perfect face for makeup. Thank you for another phenomenal video ❤

[@trishzeleznik8949]

I love the Kulfi lipsticks and lip stains. They are absolutely beautiful and the tints last.

[@lisawillis1696]

I have several LYS products and I love them. They also have a stick blush that’s really easy to blend. I use the bronzer stick as well as their highlighter. It’s more subtle than most, I like a little shine but not flashy because I’m an older woman. It’s going to last forever. I watched a video of you recommending these brands. I got the MOB powder and really like it. I have wrinkles under my eyes so I’m picky about powder. They sent me samples of their foundation so I can find my shade, and I got a pretty lipstick from them too. I really like that it’s clean and recyclable. I’m glad you’re giving attention to these brands! Thank you Nikki!

[@sydeezy17]

The LYS pressed powder and powder bronzer are also FANTASTIC!!! ❤🎉

[@crystalstarr635]

łush chxi-san (good morning) Nikki💖 Thank you for sharing the backgrounds of these brands. They've definitely moved up in rank on my wish list because of the information you shared. Videos idea; All things eyeliner. Kajal, wooden vs plastic component. Water activated, gel pot, brush tip vs. felt tip. Waterproof vs. non-waterproof. Tools used to apply, using something like Merhon mixing liquid with eyeshadow for a custom liner, etc. Have a fantastic Saturday and hayu masi Nikki 💖

[@leeshaolivier9298]

Thank you for talking about different brands! I appreciate this!

[@trinaankney7067]

Unrelated to this video, I have to thank you for the absolute best sunscreen recommendations for under makeup. I have been searching for one that I really love for years. I’ve loved all the ones you suggested. Thank you so much. Love all your videos!

[@lisacotnoir3993]

I love Ciele and Mob beauty and Kulfi !! All on your recommendations 😊 Thank you Nikki ❤

[@lesliehatch-herman9325]

Your eye look is gorgeous, Nikki!! Thanks for the little back stories for these cosmetics lines. I’m excited to try the LYS foundation stick, and MOB stuff looks amazing! I could spend hours choosing my favorite eyeshadow shades for a custom palette 😉♥️ Thanks again, Nikki, and have an amazing day!!

[@MeghanLeahyParentCoach]

Love love love LYS! I keep so many of their products in my pro-kit. Their cream bronzers are THE BEST.

[@janetoglestone7279]

New game plan @ Sephora - the end caps! Back stories are so interesting & relatable. These products have been slipping into your other videos & have been noticed. Appreciate the deeper dive into the brands, Nikki.❤

[@SassiegmainVegas]

I’m agreeing with so many others. The grey eyeshadow is gorgeous on you!

[@ArieneNolte]

YESSS 🙌Nikki love your makeup-as always ❤️ Love this video! Tutorial on makeup you’re wearing today 🙏

[@jennifershank5622]

Yes!!! Been a Melt fan since those magnetic stacks ❤ so so good 👍

[@kristigarfinkel]

Love, love, love MOB Beauty!! After watching your full face video I bought a bunch of eyeshadows which I love, and the loose powder is amazing! Also love kulfi- their eyeshadows are so beautiful! And CIELE- WOW!! The finish I get with that skin tint and the blushes is so gorgeous!!

[@moniquea.2529]

Love LYS! Their bronzer cream stick was my first product... I just got the foundation stick and the setting spray. Love them. ❤️

[@kimberlysedano2908]

Melt cosmetics definitely have the best eyeshadows ! They don’t compare to anything else 😍

[@gracea3213]

I purchased the LYS bronzer stick last week and wore for the first time today. It's so pigmented! A little goes a long way. And I agree that it blends so easily. I can't wait to try their other products.

[@katieharris7219]

I do love all of these brands, but MOB is my favorite. Their bronzers --espescially the powder-- is my GOAT. It is the most perfect pinky bronze for my fair neutral-cool skin. My lifelong quest is over. I've tried every bronzer on the market that claims to have that kind of tone--nothing (even Gucci!) comes close to that level of perfection!!! And the people need your 90s mauve lip collection!! Please Vic and Alicia, make it happen!!!!! 🙏❤❤❤

[@selsel7255]

I tried MOB beauty and i have to add that their refillable palette look so good in person. It feels sturdy and high end! Looking at my own customed made palette is so satisfying! Thanks for talking about their eyeshadows, now i'm ready to get a new palette during their black Friday sales. Thanks for the video Nikki!

[@lydiaacosta8413]

I love that you referenced MAC lip liner names to describe the colors. I get it!

[@c.cooper9549]

Thanks for sharing this Nikki! I love all the Ciele products you mentioned and use them everyday. Shout out to Kulfi, too. The best brow gel I've ever found.🥰

[@karencabany4340]

Omg please do a video on this whole look! Love the eyes especially

[@minda.fraser]

I love love love the LYS natural finish setting spray. the mister is so lovely and it really melts everything in comfortably. if i feel dry this makes me feel rehydrated. i use it daily and working on second bottle! I also discovered it via end cap at sephora!

[@adriennef7219]

Such a great video!! I took notes 🤣 I love the Kulfi sona sona I bought because of you and the lys bronzer. Now I need to try Mob beauty! Thanks Nikki!

[@jann3443]

Love the LYS stick foundation and both blushes. Thank you for highlighting these brands. Im going to check into more Melt products. Love their story!

[@misspetite9285]

your eyemakeup is stunninggggg!

[@EK-saltybich]

lol this one is super cute; the excitement for these brands is infectious! I held off on Ciele during the Sephora sale because I don't know if it'll work for my oily skin, but gah I'm tempted

[@queens6583]

I started buying LYS about 2 years ago. I started with the liquid foundation and translucent powder. I recently bought the foundation stick and love it. I need to get a blush. The Ciele serum skin tint is fantastic and i just bought the concealer and love it.

[@sanjapetrevska4994]

Love the eye look - that eyeliner pops!

[@Annnibellla]

Hi Nikki! Im a new follower since Spring and love all your recommendations. Needless to say i own all your brushes. I wake up every Saturday to your videos & breakfast in bed. I bought almost all Ciele products & have started buying LYS & Kulfi!! Cant wait for your Ciele concealer review? Can you show how to pick concealer & bronzer shades? TY ❤ Ps…. Its sad that most Sephora salespeople dont know these brands. Everytime I ask, i have to literally spell out the brand names.

[@Sarittaa_7]

You look like a princess! I really love your hairstyle! Thank you so much for all your insights, learning so much as always ❤ hope you have a beautiful day

[@DtlaDaisy]

Nikki Thank you for doing this video!!! Would you consider doing a Short on how you did your eye makeup in this video? Love the cool tones!

[@amandeeezyd]

I love this video! It’s great to show love to brands that aren’t as mainstream, but work just as great 😊

[@ClimbingMama2023]

I love Ciele! I have met the other half of the brand, and she is the sweetest! I cannot wait to hear your thoughts and to try the concealer

[@ElleSmith-l2s]

You look stunning! My favorite makeup look yet.

[@Maggie_Mayhem]

Love how you inserted footage of you using the products as you were talking about them. Good job Mitch!

[@antonellarosa2126]

You are beautiful inside and out! Love everything you post. Thank you so much for sharing all your thoughts and honest opinions on makeup and more… Your videos have been such a game changer for me. 🙏🏻❤

[@laurazammit8423]

We finally have LYS Beauty at Sephora in Australia. So excited! 🥳❤ Now we need the rest of these amazing brands!

[@cupcake5671]

I heard about MOB beauty recently, I love to see good options for more sustainable beauty on the market 😍❤️ thank you for covering it, I am looking forward to purchase from them and try new products Hope more brands will take same direction so we can be more mindful about makeup and still have fun with it

[@1hawaii21]

I agree about LYS. I adore their foundation stick. It doesn’t collect in pores or lines and it lasts. And their blue is so good. When I want a quick I go to CIELE tint and protect. I also really like their concealer. It covers my very dark under eyes better than anything I’ve tried.

[@eydiewimberly3029]

I love the concealer and waiting on the shadows

[@i_am_whole_again]

I absolutely loved the Dark Matter stack!! I have 3 or 4 of their palettes and they are a requirement for a smokey eye. High quality shadows. ❤

[@safrica229]

Oh I’m excited to try LYS!

[@mysharyna1741]

I LOVE their cream blush that's in the pots. VERY inexpensive for what you get.

[@maureentakach3065]

I got their powder bronzer in a Boxycharm and I'm not a bronzer girl. I panned two of them already.

[@safrica229]

@ thank you!

[@RevampAndRadiate]

You have to let me know how you like it. If you think I should try, I totally will 😊

[@safrica229]

@ will do!!

[@asapseed]

your recommendations never fail me. i’ve been loving Kulfi!

[@isolinaaustin1108]

I bought the Lys bronzing stick per your recommendations. I bought the color harmony and I absolutely love it. Thank you for your recommendation.❤

[@anyanka04]

Hi, this video I loved! It’s always welcome to hear of really special makeup from you, I trust your taste so much! How can I not , when you look like you are on this video?! 🎉 your eyes are particularly stunning! I love the way you speak, you’re clear, you’re not silly like a lot of You Tubers and your content is always so interesting! Thank you so much! Xxxxxx

[@ilovelabs]

Thank you ❤ Nikki for teaching me so many new & great things!!! I have to tell you that seeing the products on video don’t compare to checking them out in person! You did a vid with Makeup by Mario his ethereal eyes moonlight. When I swatched it out in Sephora, I couldn’t believe how gorgeous the colors really are, AND, I couldn’t stop thinking about it until I went back the following morning to pick one up before they’re sold out hahah! I’m a dark complected girl w/dark hair & eyes. Recently you taught me how to look at my veins - so I finally know what tone I am now, warm neutral! 😊 I didn’t know what the big fuss was all about with the Mario products, OR…if I’d even be able to wear those colors? OMG!!! The palette is so gorg I don’t even care if it’s my color!! I’ve played with different combinations since I picked it up a few days ago, and even tho I don’t really know how to use it or what I’m doing, it’s still soooooo beautiful!!! I’m fairly new to your channel and you have taught me so much about products that I’m even switching over from Ulta back to Sephora 😊 I’m 56yrs and love makeup, I appreciate you always looking out for those older than yourself - keeping us all in mind when it comes to wearing products. The Patrick Ta blush and now this Mario eyeshadow I give you the credit for showing me what is good quality otherwise I’m just guessing and returning, often very unsatisfied. It helps me to not waste money on junk, and I get to really love what I brought home instead of regret. Thank you again for taking time to show us all the good stuff! You’re so much fun!!! ❤

[@rosefiacco3372]

Can’t wait to try MOB beauty. Looks amazing!

[@RG91977]

Love the eyeshadow you are wearing today 💕

[@janelle7778]

Good morning Nikki!! You’re looking so glamorous today! I adore Melt, MOB and Kulfi. I’m so excited to get the new Bailey Sarian x Melt collab when it comes out. I can’t wait to see the looks that you create! ❤🖤

[@RebeccaJackson-u1e]

I utterly love your makeup, looks incredible with a amazing beautiful colour story. They blend together so well. ❤❤❤❤ The products look so great as well. One day I may try ciele one day - it looks quite nice. Thanks for the round up of products 😊😊😊

[@reneklein6049]

I love the LYS Bronzer. It goes on like a dream. The blush looks beautiful as well. The same with the Ciele blushes. Stunning. I'm always looking for a good eyeliner. I'll have to give Kulfi a try. Yes to Melt. I heard Bailey Sarian say she did a new collab with them. I love the way the 1990 lip liner from MOB Beauty looks. Let's hear it for the products that don't hurt the environment. Your makeup looks absolutely stunning, as always! Thanks, Nikki❣️🩷🫶

[@hollyblanc2023]

I love so many of MOBs makeup items! I love their cream foundation as a concealer, love their powder bronzer that even have cool skin tone options…also LOVE m1990 (cult status) love their cream and their powder eyeshadows. At first I was eh about the highlight balm and now I use it every day bc it’s so low key realistic looking & doesn’t show on fine lines. I hope you collab with them someday that would be great! Thanks for the great video :)

[@lindsyehagens1373]

All I have from this list is the Ciele skin tint and it is amazing!

[@MarciBiodrowski-b9z]

I absolutely love melt's eyeliners and lipsticks! I am planning trying more items from this brand.

[@paulinecrawford139]

Nikki I love your love of makeup ❤

[@karekausnicolli4890]

I so would have bought the Melt "Bride of Frankenstein" eyeshadow palette. It looks so beautiful on you. Unfortunately I missed my chance. Sold out, not surprisingly. lol Love your passion about these products... and especially the MOB products. 🤩

[@belovedsoul98]

I love Ciele!! I purchased the skin tints in #4 and #5 (my summer shade). My skin looks flawless when I wear it!! Love their blushes too. East to use and perfect for travel. I can’t wait to see what else this company comes out with. I will have to try their contour stick next.

[@suzannesteele1275]

It was a much appreciated video! I'm so glad to see the noteworthy "underdogs" that you highlighted here. My next purchase? Kulfi liners, glittery cream eye toppers, lys blushes. 😊❤ Thanks, Nikki, for bomb recommendations! 💋💄🐾

[@tonyaross7906]

Obsessed with this eye look!

[@taranullius9221]

LYS is a Woman/Black-Owned-Brand too, btw, which is cool. They're in Sephora in Australia. I can't wait for that foundation stick! They're significantly lower priced than most and have decent quality. I have some brushes, their cream bronze stick and their banana powder so far.

[@lisayaco]

Yasss, I’m so glad you mentioned LYS!! I’ve been using their products for years and always impressed with anything they launch. Been loving the new foundation stick!! Enjoy your channel and content, you have such good knowledge and have the best best makeup looks ❤❤

[@candyce6233]

I purchased one of MOB Beauty’s cream eyeshadows and matte lipsticks. I like how pigmented they are and how different their color choices were.

[@mollymonroe6768]

Nikki! This is crazy. I did the same thing I think I mentioned it previous comment. I just found them on the endcap at Sephora too, I put it on my hand, the stick foundation and fell in love! I do a lot of same-day ordering from Sephora. I was hoping LYS could make all their products, same-day delivery and keep full stock and all their store especially, in Folsom, California!

[@MarciBiodrowski-b9z]

Love LYS cream blushes!

[@audreyso1201]

Love your makeup Nikki, you are beautiful. Thanks for sharing😍😍😍

[@audreygribble6033]

Finally a good recommendation of some honest companies ❤❤❤

[@FoxxyFire-HellFrost]

I hit pan on my LYS setting powder and I also love their highlighter stick. It gives such a pretty glow to my skin.

[@KaylaAvitabile]

I really like this video concept, you can totally do this every year or something like that ! I just got the kulfi lip oil/stain and I really like it, definitely want to pick up a second color at some point

[@BethMoranDib]

You’re the queen Nikki 🙌
