MAKEUP FAILS from 2024

[@melissariley3777]

That red looks beautiful on you!

[@PodieM18]

I didn't like the ELF Soft Glam either. I actually really DISLIKE a lot of ELF's releases in the last couple years. When people rave about them I think really 😅

[@AlisonLam]

I thought i loved it at first, and then i realized both shades I used were patchy and did not go well under finishing powder.

[@denisecoff500]

I don't care for the Elf soft glam either. It was patchy and made my pores stand out. Not a fan.

[@monicapatton1405]

I agree. Honestly can’t stand the liquid blush, it sits so weird on the skin. I thought I was wrong since everyone kept raving & ended up buying 2 more shades-still no.

[@khesche]

I didn't care for it either. Glad it's not just me!!

[@jennifermolina4396]

Couldn't stand it. It was way too hyped up, in my opinion. It didn't do anything good for my complexion.

[@MirandaAtchley]

I'm with you on the E.L.F Soft Glam. People rave about it and I was swept up in the hype, but it just doesn't work well for me. I have very oily skin, and this foundation just breaks apart too badly before the end of the day on me. I stick with the L'Oreal Infallible and NYX Can't Stop Won't Stop.

[@dgator3599]

I agree with you about the Elf Soft Glam. I bought 2 different shades and they just didn't work for me.

[@gailschaefer-guajardo6731]

Great video. You look stunning as always. Thanks for sharing this was informative and helpful.🎀✔️💯❗🎄⛄❄️🎋P.S. For Highlight try Revlon Skinlights, Daybreak Glimmer in place of your Essence.

[@janicedelong7900]

IKR!!!! I dont like the elf foundation either, no coverage and super dry and dull.

[@dvanhottie]

I didn’t care for the Elf soft glam. The shades are always too yellow for me. I always go back to Missha BB cream. It works great with a little concealer.

[@christinescott5002]

That is my favorite, no foundation, foundation. It just sinks into my skin and becomes one with it.

[@petrap4047]

Me too, I love the Missha BB cream and always default to it.

[@barbarawright9123]

I feel the same about the Pretty Smart and the ELF Soft Glam foundations. Both of them were formula fails that sat in a layer across my skin. Neither lasted, both looked thick and broken up. That's a NO for me, Dawg!

[@arlenescott4530]

Yes I totally agree I would love one of the hourglass face palettes but it is way out of my budget so I just love it from a distance!

[@janmcmahon7358]

I love the ELF soft glam foundation. I am 65 with dry skin I apply it with a BK beauty 101 brush and it looks like skin. Just shows you that makeup is very individual

[@AdrienneKushner-qi6cl]

After years of trying to find a foundation that looks good on me, I gave it up. I remember a company that had a counter in department stores. The sales woman would match your skin perfectly. It was pricey but worth it. I use a colorless pore blurer/sunscreen, concealer, blush and something simple on my eyes and lips.

[@SallyC.-wu2bk]

Try Loreal Tru Blend

[@SallyC.-wu2bk]

I’m sorry, it’s True Match not Blend.

[@TheMrsSaito]

The ELF satin foundation in the square glass is their best one, I think. I don’t like the soft glam one either

[@lmullens75]

Mandy! Thank you! So helpful AND Entertaining. And succinct at 20 minutes. I scroll through my options of videos to watch and I see 30 and 45 minute long videos and I just can’t. Even if it is Vlogs of some of my favorite KZbinrs, I feel like people can say what they need to say about a specific topic in 20 minutes or less. And you did a nice job of it! I’m so glad you are saying those things about the more expensive palettes because I have serious FOMO. 🤪 I guess it’s all subjective. I will watch a 30 or 40 minute long gardening Vlog of one of my favorite homesteader lady’s so maybe it’s just the type of video! I love your hair, also and I am determined to try to do my own hair coloring and try to have more like your light blonde color. My last hair lady wanted $200 to do highlights and she didn’t even do the bottom half underneath, so I’ve got a giant , patch of no color underneath that I’ve let grow out, so maybe it won’t look so weird when I lighten it. Don’t get me wrong, when my hair was styled and down and straight out of the salon, it looked worth $200, but I just can’t do that, a bit like your $90 face palette situation. Lol.

[@sallyjensen9321]

I always appreciate your reviews and assessments!

[@pamelajennings4016]

I like the Supershock shadow in Ritz almost as much as Ladybird (thank you for introducing me to her). But the Supershock highlighters in Lunch Money, Flexitarian and Smoke n’ Wattles are really creamy and look GREAT on the eyes.

[@paulameinzer9185]

I didn’t like the Elf Soft Glam. Made my face look sooo dry! Thank you for your honest reviews!!!

[@ccharles848]

I was really tempted by the last big Huda palette, icy nude. I’m going to save my money, though.

[@phyllistallent4149]

The Elf foundation didn’t work well for me- the formula and the shade. Still mystified by all the rave reviews. I struggle with shades with Elf foundations-they lean orange on me.

[@cindyo6298]

I'm glad you don't absolutely hate the Mario palette bc I just bought it. I almost only wear matte shades though..

[@eileenbrazil8039]

Great video, really helpful.

[@bobbi5523]

No dummy and your smart and honest! Thanks. Loved it! I didn't buy the Huda... I think I want to and then I try it at Sephora and doesn't call as much as say a ND or some random one I fall in love with... looks beautiful but nothing really new enough to push me. That said, sure it makes beautiful looks. Yes, the Essence Blush was awesome always.

[@monicapatton1405]

Those Elf lip liners are a waste of $2. I need a liner to last.

[@cs-yq5ed]

I was wondering where you got that sweater from. I really like it and the delicate little necklace with it.

[@tifKh]

Uniqlo makes a red sweater that shade, I even saw one on eBay.

[@kathleenp3135]

Great video! Love how particular you are. Very helpful!

[@debiwallace2131]

You can't beat the NARS RADIANT CONCEALER. Its so hydrating

[@michellegray8087]

I like the essence hi lighter a lot but my all time go to is colour pop flexatarian. I hope they never discontinue it.

[@СемейныйАнглийский]

Hi Mandy) We def need Icy Nude review/tutorial

[@streetfamily6909]

Love your reviews on products cause I can tell thier real and honest reviews. Love your videos :)

[@tifKh]

*they’re

[@janeashton2027]

Hi Mandy, l finally picked up some Colourpop products on the weekend, they all look so Beautiful, hugsssss ❤❤❤

[@kathyburleson6046]

Hi, im a silent watcher, but i had to give my opinion makeup by Mario eyeshadow palette. I think u should try the blue. it's such a gorgeous color. Just try it if u dont like it wash it off . Sorry the color would really bring out ur eyes. Thanks for the info on the makeup. Much love and respect ❤❤

[@dianawalter1446]

I did not like the Revolution dewy either, I do like the pretty smart it’s ok won’t buy again. ❤❤❤

[@joychappell3817]

Red is your color! Thank you for these honest reviews! 🎉

[@damattice23]

None of the super shocks are a good as ladybird. I just bought a back up, and I have NEVER bought a makeup backup before. It is my go to inner corner and lid shade to brighten things up.

[@lindafillichio1048]

I agree about Makeup by Mario. There is so much fall out too

[@engelneen1686]

what??!!! essence discontinued that highlighter!!!! I loved it so much. This was a helpful video.

[@JessicaMaykeup]

See I swear by the haus labs stick blush. It’s my fave!!! So easy to blend. Looks amazing on my skin.

[@lorenward3733]

Me to you right about the elf soft glam i like voverage

[@zillamama]

No to Elf foundation for me either and I tried several shades. Just did not sit well on my skin no matter what I did.

[@mandijones4995]

E.l.f soft glam made me break out. I was so disappointed.

[@tdubsky2872]

I was going to say...I love your shirt and necklace. You need to start listing your tops. I like alot of them and always wonder where you bought them. Love your videos Mandy!

[@tifKh]

It’s literally a red shirt tho?

[@esharoth7186]

I also dislike Elf Soft Glam. Among other things it has no longevity for me.

[@sandylay5831]

Still love the Essence Out of Limits mascara . Never tried Hourglass before I really don’t know why. Went with the Lawless eye palette then Mario .Love it. Enjoyed video

[@dreamon4692]

LOL at the Hourglass palette... watching as a Canadian, I can only wish it was only $ 95! It's $ 122 for us, almost $ 150 if you add the tax 🤣 Luckily I don't like Hourglass, so that's not an issue for me, but the price is obnoxious!

[@dianebraden629]

I only use high end products, that said I do not like the hour glass Ambient powder sets. I bought one or two and gave them away.

[@differentlyabledbeautypod]

dang, I just bought the elf soft glam based on all the positive reviews. It is sitting in my unopened foundation with the KVD Apple (got it thru ipsy last month). I hope they work. But if not, my 2nd believe foundation from DG is there waiting as well.

[@brittanypennycuff4512]

I also disliked the elf foundation, the tones are weird and it just sits on top of the skin, such a disappointment!

[@MaryMacGregor-xq8xl]

Oh Mandy !, you think that Natasha Denona prices for her Midi palettes are expensive! I live in Canada, the price for me is $105 plus a 15% sales tax and also the shipping fee! It’s so not fair, she also puts different conditions especially since Sephora Canadian no longer carries any of her products either and when they did it was always out of stock!

[@rebeccad5201]

She has increased the price to $110 CAD on her site. Which basically means she doesn’t actually wants Canadians to buy from her site. Same palette $89 on beautylish free shipping

[@jennied375]

I like the Colourpop supershock in Ritz and will have to try Ladybird. I want to try a couple of the duo chrome one’s as well. You didn’t say the name of the super shock you didn’t like.

[@JennysCountryChannel]

I'm glad I didn't buy the Icy Nude Palette. If Alter Ego dupes it I will get it 🙂 Thank you for your great videos, Mandy. I always watch them on the tv, so I can't comment.

[@jerseygirl8146]

Not a fan of the Easy Blur primer, either….not seeing the hype behind it although I do love the Easy Blur foundation.

[@christinekirsch9594]

I feel the same way about the Huda easy blur primer..I don't see it_ Why the hype???

[@eringoldsmith2677]

Tower mascara - seized up on me…. And my friend- never could use it- tossed it!

[@GloriaTapp]

I like brown mascara. I'm 67 and black is too harsh at my age.

[@nancyadcock4899]

I didn’t like the Elf foundation. The coverage isn’t great and it didn’t last long enough on my skin. I liked the old formula better.

[@KimMcCallie]

Every time I see Huda or Natasha Denona release a new palette, I think about how I’ll pick up the Alter Ego version. 2025 should be a good year for that. 😊

[@elainelee4828]

I like wet and wild highlighter, those powder kind. I got my 8 year old the megaglo, I have the one with Marilyn Monroe on it and Alice wonderland one with different shades in the pan. I love them all. I am not a fan of elf eyeshadow, (like Elf brushes, blushes and the waterproof eyebrow pencil, I keep reaching and I don’t know why) prefer Wet and wild and hard candy’s and most Profusion’s shadows much better. I enjoy them more than ColourPop and Natasha Denona’s, which are stiff and difficult to work with Thank you for all the heads up can save me a lot of money and time. Will skip them

[@lacialysia6913]

I recently bought my first 2 Natasha denona palettes and yeah i cannot go over that and i doubt I'll get another unless she comes out with another nude one or one the had the smooth shimmers not the glittery ones. Kinda like the huda palettes they just don't stay on my eyes hudas glitters. But Natasha denona does stay on my eyes so bc of that i would repurchase from her but i prefer what her older shimmers probably were. Like i got the re release of UD naked and i hate that they added glitter to sidecar! Its one of my fav shades in my dupe palette bc i never got the OG. I hate the glitter eyeshadow trend now. Its in everything! This was the worst time to get into high end eyeshadow bc they putting glitter in everything! If it's good I'll give it to them but i don't like it. Lol😂 revolution came out with patrick ta dupe and wow that glitter stays on my eyes for cheap af so there's no excuse for huda beauty. I have their rose quartz and the glitter combined with the cool mauve undertones makes it completely useless. My mom got it for me for Christmas a few years back so i can't really exchange or return it.

[@lorenward3733]

The elf soft glam foundation is ok

[@mandijones4995]

I can't use the e.l.f lip liner because it tastes so bad.

[@lorenward3733]

Hi Mandy

[@EnvyBlu]

I was watching a video not too long ago about making eyeshadow palettes, and makeup products. It discussed the cost associated with it, and said the more intricate details on the packaging, the higher the cost is of the product. And the cheapest way to make a product packaging is to just have the name printed basically, on the palette, with no colors or anything. Since then I can’t help but see Makeup By Mario’s boring product packaging, and think, he did that the absolute cheapest way possible, for more profits. His packaging is not minimalistic, it’s cheap! I will never buy his expensive but cheap looking products

[@Metalozyme27]

I don’t understand being so critical of an eyeshadow palette for features you can see before buying. You can tell before hand that it’s all matte and all neutrals (it’s literally in the name). It’s kinda like ordering chicken at a restaurant and then being pissed it doesn’t taste like beef.

[@maureenbyrd4642]

To me, high end lip balms and oils are not worth their prices. They don't last or have more pigment than low priced items.

[@jennawoodard8386]

💕💄

[@hanniehoekstra8511]

Beautiful image, but I wish that you would invest in a better microphone……

[@grettalemabouchou6779]

Please check the ingredients in your makeup....some contain very deleterious ingredients which are not checked by the FDA. Some high end lipsticks contain lead. Silica is another one you must watch out for......it is a neurotoxin and can cause much trouble. Thankyou.

[@CatKim2]

It sounds like you make some poor choices. You know what you like and you're a creature of habit and then you experiment in a completely inappropriate direction. You don't like cool tones. Accept it.

[@Larry-qw3rp]

Wait until Trump’s 25% tariffs kick in.

[@tifKh]

What are you even talking about. Like none of those are made in Mexico or Canada. Just gotta get a political comment in, huh?

[@Larry-qw3rp]

@ what I am talking about are all the natural resources Americans have received from Canada. Let,s talk about water . Or electric grid from dams let’s talk electricity to save California a few years back. Do you have any idea how much crude oil is sent from Canada to the US. Do you have any idea how many board feet of lumber comes from Canada. Let alone cedar shakes and and other wood products. Many provinces are tired of sending their natural resources to the USA By the way havesz fun getting your car out of Mexico along with parts for their all the vehicles. They have been very profitable in many many ways. If Trump or any Cronies think they can run the USA without help they are dead wrong. I am a senior running on a pension without cost of living and social security. My health care cost almost 800.00. I may loose my house or get renter. I have my passport ready. My son and I both Canadian passports. Far away from the crazies. It is a shame. I love the USA but Trump and his ex cons and minions need to go.
