Videos with Nikki are always a treat!!!

I subscribed because I love Nikki.

[@lalacarroll431]

I LOVE 💗 Nikki! I’ve learned so many new techniques that actually make my makeup look so much better and more natural! I love watching anything Nikki posts

Nikki has become one of my favorites here on KZbin, for the past couple of year’s I just stop loving makeup and watch makeup videos it was like all the famous KZbinr were fake. It’s so good to see someone that knows what there doing and be so down to earth please keep these videos coming

I enjoyed reading this.

[@lindseyalbaugh2606]

Can you pls do a video on how to prep your undereyes? I have a lot of texture and fine lines due to dry skin and sensitivity. I would love to see what you suggest

[@natasha7732]

Nikki’s explanation on Huda/Hourglass concealers is spot on!! Thank you

[@baileykurlov5110]

I started my journey with Nars back in 2019 and honestly I never wanted any other concealers because literally no one beats it.

[@t.brooks5082]

I definitely think the Huda Beauty one is better for coverage.

[@catherinep3458]

Nikkis smile is like sunshine, warm and beautiful 😍

[@user-lf5oz9ki8z]

I love these Sephora ranking videos! It's so much fun listening to you gals assess each product AND the customer reviews. What's become increasingly obvious though is that a lot of makeup lovers/users need a lot more instruction on skin prep. It's just not as easy as it would seem to be.

[@jax_08]

Maybe a video that goes over proper skin prep for the various skin types/conditions for great looking makeup?! 🙏

[@angeliaberkowitz5472]

I completely agree. I skin prep under eyes, but now I wonder if I'm using the correct products....LOL. We need a skin prep discussion!!!

[@shelbyvlasaty3446]

Yes!! I would love that! I also would suggest it be done in a more kind fashion, lately they’re giving more mean girl vibes and I can’t support that if it continues 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@changeeyecolor3891]

[@celiarose5103]

Thank you Nikki for being such a great educator on makeup. I love makeup and sometimes I think I know a lot, but Nikki always gives me little pieces of advice that always help. :)

[@kearstenw3855]

Nikki is so amazing and knowledgeable about her craft. I just love her beautiful personality and she just makes you feel like everything is going to be okay, lol

[@MzVicky]

My favorite is the Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Concealer. At 63, I have found only a few concealers really work and I have tested that one against many of the ones you mention and the Lancome blows them away.

[@bweb6]

This would make a really cool regular series in which you both get together to review the top rated products according to all the major beauty platforms. 🥰

[@changeeyecolor3891]

Please make more videos.

[@chrissylee325]

I'm so happy to see 2 women over 30 recommend nars! All their complexion products work for my combo 40 year old skin ❤

[@omegasobsessions]

I feel so lucky the Sephora dude led me to NARS! It has been great for me. I use for “no makeup” days and full face days. Wish it had a tad more coverage without layering up but is pretty good. My dark under eyes are 51 btw and it doesn’t add any lines that aren’t always there lol

I'm literally wearing the Merit complexion stick rn. I love it for when I don't want to do a full beat. It's great for doing your makeup in the car lol

[@redgirlreviews]

Do you have a video on proper under eye prep for aging dry under eyes so these concealers look their best? I had a lot of the same complaints about some of these being dry and I definitely use under eye moisturizers so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. thx!

[@analuna4793]

I would watch this too!

[@loveevemarie]

Loved this video! FYI: Shape Tape is an Ulta Exclusive, that’s why it isn’t sold at Sephora.

[@MissyTC-86]

I always wondered that!

[@Mixedmakeup]

Good to know!!

[@changeeyecolor3891]

This is really helpful...

[@beautifuldisaster9784]

It is sold at Sephora in Canada but we don't have Ulta

[@DemeterRoseCraft]

I think it's selling point is being really user friendly, even for new makeup users. Like an artist might not use it in their kit, but it's meant to be easier to use as a personal product.

[@Itssimplysteph90]

I got to tell you it’s nice that a brand has more yellow or olive options because we are often left out with only one shade, but not all the shades being yellow 😂 but I agree that kosas concealer did not work for me as far as texture it was very thick and drying.

[@changeeyecolor3891]

I love you messages.

[@cscreative5460]

Kosas is also meant to be more like no makeup makeup. I can wear it with nothing else and it’s perfect! It’s so good. The only concealers I can vouch for are NARS and kosas

[@chelseaw9355]

I don’t use concealer under my eyes but I do rely on it to spot conceal any discoloration or blemishes and hands down the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer is the best I have ever used and cannot live without it. I look like I’m wearing nothing, in the best way! True skin-like finish, that lasts. King. Love you two together btw

[@changeeyecolor3891]

Your hair is very beautiful...

[@bearsfan8819]

I tried the Nars concealer for the first time this year. The color match for me is impeccable. The best I've ever found. I did experience the creasing and dryness under the eyes (yes I moisturize, I have dry af skin). I found what makes it work for me is a setting spray after!!! I use the rare beauty setting spray (others will prolly work too), and I swear it instantly melts my makeup together smoothly (very natural looking). That's how I have made it work and will be the only concealer I now buy because it looks amazing.

[@jessabeauty917]

Did you spray onto a sponge and tap in? Dry or wet sponge? Their views make me want to try again with my extra dry under eyes.

[@bearsfan8819]

@jessarc4719 I am by no means a makeup expert and don't wear full coverage. Due to my dry skin, I personally lean towards a tinted moisturizer (which I also love the one by Nars) with my favorite cream bronzer (I blend with brushes). After applying the Nars concealer (I use my fingers), I will develop creasing and dryness unless I use my setting spray, which I just mist onto my face. When it dries, there is no creasing and it honestly looks smooth and amazing! I know everyone's skin is different, but it's what has worked for me!!

[@jessabeauty917]

@@bearsfan8819 I never apply concealer with fingers. I’ll have to try your method! 😃 Thanks.

[@khristvnx]

I’m on my third Merit Minimalist I love it for spot concealing or all around. Just have a hydrated base underneath that’s had time to set 🫶🏼

[@ursulaholmes2866]

Ladies, what’s the best way to prep under eyes for dry mature (51) skin?

[@glow8063]

Yes. We need a video on this!!!

[@elainebines6803]

Use an eye gel or moisturiser after cleansing. Allow to sit for ten minutes before applying makeup. I'm a retired beauty therapist and even exfoliate around my eyes but with a very gentle formula

[@Mitzi712]

Natasha Denona Concealer is so so good. I am turning 50 and my makeup style is natural. This concealer is so smooth and velvety. A little goes a long way. I have oily skin and live in a high humidity tropical country and I don’t like setting my concealers with powder. It’s AMAZING!!The ND concealer is now sitting next to my ride or die Hour Glass Vanish Airbrush Concealer.

[@Mixedmakeup]

I need the ND concealer!

[@lizzyp679]

You Duo need to be a regular thing!! I love when you guys chat about products and your possibly conflicting views. It's really fun!

[@marisolmoon17]

You guys should do a eye skin prep video!!! I tried the nars concealer once and thought it really creased and felt dry under my eyes. Clearly I’m doing something wrong! Very informative video. Love you both!

[@Rubye269]

Nikki has one on er channel

[@changeeyecolor3891]

I like your video a lot !

[@PmxLast]

The Merit stick is all about skincare. You need a moisturizer base and can use your fingers to get a skin like finish. It’s not medium to full but it’s a good start to having a decent base.

[@fabiolabadillo330]

Shape tape is not sold at Sephora 😬 that’s probably why it’s not on the top sellers

[@ms.c76]

For my skin is too dry, but in Ulta has 4.7 ⭐️ out of 37,500 reviews 😮

[@changeeyecolor3891]

They are sooo interesting.

[@gracygl5446]

Oh it is sold in Europe Sephora though

[@seranarobertson3094]

Could you please tell us the proper skin prep under the eyes before using concealer? You keep mentioning that so it would be great to k ow how you prep yours so that concealer lasts and doesn’t look dry later.

[@samsavard]

Love love this series!!! Powders next? Also would love to see a skincare edition of this! Like top sunscreens from Sephora (:

[@crl62089]

Love the reviews!!!! So fun! For me, Kosas is the only foundation and concealer that actually match me because im very olive. Other brands that claim olive undertones are still too peachy on me. I’ve repurchased the foundation and concealer several times which is wild for a makeup junkie, but I could see how the shades could be too yellow for a lot of skin tones.

[@carinaoliveira5850]

whoa! I'm glad to find someone who actually finds this brand to have true matches for olives! I'm olive, but it's so hard for me to truly know whether I'm a cool or warm olive because I'm very fair. Hands down though, I'm definitely olive, because when I compare my skin tone to my other white girlies, my arms look full on green and I have both green and blue veins. Either way, it's really hard for me to find foundation, usually the foundations are much too orange or too pink.

[@fabiolamacias1496]

My holy grail favorite concealer is the too faced. I have tried the hourglass, the kosas, the natasha Denona and still like the too faced better! The huda beauty is the closest one but for the price you get more product on the too faced! I miss it and will definitely repurchase it

[@sogandkarimian6890]

I wear make up maybe once a month but I love these videos so much and learn so much and feel prepared to buy product when I need to. What a dynamic duo truly

[@changeeyecolor3891]

How to say, I love you.

[@2tedmonds]

I’ve watched, listened, thought I got it right while in stores but after getting home and using concealer and foundation; I selected wrong colors again. So many failures. So frustrating. But I love watching you two do your thing.

[@hestergnu6627]

I second the recommendation to review the most popular skin tints. Love this series!

[@romeydiaz77]

The merit product is actually not thick or cakey, for me it’s really easy to blend unlike other stick concealers - creamy and super easy to blend and has never looked dry. For me it doesn’t give a full coverage either

[@kattsushi1392]

Really enjoyed this video! At this point, please just make a video for every makeup category lol because i end up either purchasing one (bought the Armani Luminous Silk from the previous foundation video) or feeling validated because I own one of the products you both raved about (Nars holy grail) ✨

[@talkbeautywithme]

I love the NARS and Hourglass concealer but also the Kat Von D one is very good. I really want to try the Natasha Denona concealer too

[@changeeyecolor3891]

I'm so surprised Tower 28 concealer is not on here. As a dry skin girly this is my new go to. Perfect shade and undertone, goes on silky and gives medium coverage, very skin like. Just love.

[@changeeyecolor3891]

It is incredible...

[@donnaimanbrown]

You should do bronzers next. I’ve had the hardest time picking a concealer, cause I’m so afraid of getting the wrong shade.

[@dianaf3109]

I love you guys’ videos so much! Tart shape tape is not sold at Sephora- probably that’s why it’s not on the list

[@cm_mb]

Good point, I forgot about that, and it's available at Ulta.

[@XimenaZhao415]

Too Faced Concealer Born This Way Concealer is so popular, because the container is much larger than most brands in its price range. But, most of the reviews are old from before the reformulation. The new Too Faced Born This Way Concealer is now creasy, patchy, and separates. It's not a skin prep or amount issue. It's the reformulation. It does the same thing on bare skin or over moisturizer, primer, sunscreen, etc. Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer is the most popular for over a decade, because the formula is perfect, long lasting, concentrated pigments, and works well on almost any skin type. Plus the Nars face makeup colors have always been flawless, especially their undertones range.

[@lynniec]

Love, love, love Kosas concealer, I'm almost 60 and dealing with dark circles and wrinkles around my eyes, cheap, expense I've tried them all. This makes my eyes look bright, just enough coverage to hid the darkness and doesn't settle into wrinkles, even after a 10hr workday and not setting it. 5 stars for me.

[@kimcolluro9816]

I REALLY want you and Nikki to teach us mature women how to use concealer under our eyes. I clearly do not know how to do it because I feel like my wrinkles are accentuated when I try to use it.

[@MzVicky]

Have you tried the Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear. I'm 63 and it's my favorite. I've tested it against some of the ones raved about above and for me Lancome wins every time.

[@kimcolluro9816]

@@MzVicky I have not tried that but I also don't know the best way to apply it. I'm sure it's user error.

[@julietrucks2653]

[@KaylaAvitabile]

I’m sure someone has said this but I do think shape tape is an ulta exclusive, love these videos ladies!!! 💕

[@sushiismystyle881]

Kosas is good for fine lines and dehydrated skin. I like the caffeine and panthenol in it. 02W works for me but as a whole the shades look like the simpsons skintone..

[@cscreative5460]

22:37 kosas is very brown girl friendly. I love it! I also have warm undertones so theirs that.

[@brendacollazo7740]

The TooFaced Born this Way concealer is my favorite full coverage concealer. You just need a little bit of it. I have mixed to dry skin and love it when i want to do a full coverage makeup. And you can get in on sale in different places.

[@MariaMartinez-zb7sh]

what is said about Nars, I honestly love it because its the only concealer that has the right undertone for my eyes. I'm an olive undertone

[@t.brooks5082]

I also love the Too Faced concealer. I have extremely dark purple under eyes and it’s one of the only ones I’ve found that will cover and not crease terribly. (57 y/o combo skin). My next fave is the Huda beauty one. Definitely worth a try unless your skin is extremely dry.

[@sarahmoody8085]

Shape Tape is an Ulta exclusive! Sephora doesn’t carry it, otherwise I’m sure it would be #1 😊

[@Mixedmakeup]

I was wondering!

[@changeeyecolor3891]

So fascinating and informative...

[@monicaleanos5874]

No Natosha Denona????!!!! I LOVE THAT ONE! Even more than NARS. Gotta try the Born This Way of course. I love and still use the shape tape powder under my eyes. It looks even better than my Huda Beauty powder! But agree with Nikki about the faux filter concealer... sooo good. I have dry under eyes too! I put a hydrating under eye cream and make sure it sinks in before makeup. I also put an under eye sunscreen. Specifically for under the eyes. No issues with my fave Natosha Denona, Huda Beauty, or NARS concealer.

[@mrssuaige]

[@whatiget]

Susan, do you mind listing makeup that you and Nikki wear in each video because you two look stunning

[@fooloo993]

I have a deep skin tone with a fairly olive undertone, which most of the makeup industry seems to think doesn't exist. Kosas is one of the only brands that does deep olive shades, so it has that going for it at least! that said, I agree with Nikki on the finish, at least for the foundation. Great color match but don't love the finish.

[@changeeyecolor3891]

Love is like the ocean...

[@ninz5250]

The foundation stick from Merit it just okay in my opinion, and the color range for light skin tones needs a lot of work (I can’t speak to darker tones as that isn’t my skin tone). That said, I think the reason makeup artists aren’t talking about it is because the brand isn’t “for” makeup artists…it’s for the person who wants natural looking, minimalist products. Their lip products are incredible, and I love the blush balms as well.

[@parsaman06]

I love the huda beauty too...I have oilier undereye and always am scared of luminous concealer...but this one is exceptational...it is smooth...hydrating and with minimum creasing...

[@louisah6020]

Totally agree with what Nikki said about the Kosas concealer. Not enough cool and/or neutral + way too yellow. Never understood why everyone raved about it

[@tia5634]

I really love the Too Faced Born This Way Concealer (I'm 59, balanced to dry), a little goes along way, it is my "dressy" concealer choice. I also have one in my skin tone that I mix with the Tula primer as a skin tint (works really well for this!)

[@yourskincaresystem86]

I love it when Nikki is on here 😍

[@morganraelee]

Oo oo oo, okay, I'm here to stick up for the Merit stick! I LOVE that thing; I have dry, acne prone skin and always prep with a moisturizer and a hydrating prep spray. It is the only foundation stick (I wouldn't call it a concealer), that fully covers my acne, but also sinks into the skin beautifully. The only place I would use it under the eye is where there is literally no creasing. It is a gorgeous foundation option!

[@ninz5250]

Fellow dry skin acne girl here…totally agree with you. My only complaint is that the shade range needs work, even the lightest one runs really yellow on me and it’s supposedly a cool undertone.

[@erinklein776]

Maybe at some point soon, I'll have to go out and possibly purchase the Nars mini because I have such an issue with complexion products, whether it be foundation or concealer. No matter what brands I try, everything is so drying on me. I skin prep night and day, and even if my skin is feeling great, once makeup hits my skin, it seems like it gets absorbed and feels so dry, cakey ,cracked, creased, you name it! I don't know what my problem is😢😢😢😢😢

[@jaydasolai2559]

I got the Nars in the mini and wondered if it was a different formula because I thought it was drying and everyone talks about how creamy it is? The physicians formula is worth a try it’s super cheap and one over the creamiest most hydration concealer I’ve used. I like the hourglass on also.

[@analuna4793]

I struggle too! I could not make the Kosas or Huda ones work (among others) but the nars one is amazing. Looks so naturally. Don't put too much on.

[@erinklein776]

Thank you, ladies. I even purchased the Tower 28, thinking it would be a definite win since it was serum based, but nope. Still looks dry, and I put very little on, with a hint of extra moisturizer under my eyes, and apply with a damp sponge or my fingers. No matter my methods, it's the same outcome.
