My waterproof mascara tip: I always use a regular mascara as the first coat and then layer the waterproof mascara as the second coat. The waterproof layer helps prevent running/smudging but the buffer layer of regular mascara underneath doesn’t seem to ruin the lashes as much and makes it a lot easier to take off since the waterproof isn’t clinging to the lash directly.

[@akong331]

Great tip!

[@Mxtraveler]

I do that also. I don’t love waterproof.

[@nancyjustme]

Thanks, I am going to try this. I have a medical condition that causes my eyes to water, itch and be very sensitive. So I have to wear waterproof mascara but I don’t really like removing it. This may just make my life easier and save my poor clear redhead eyelashes!💜💜💜

This sounds perfect. I'm going to try it. 😊 thanks

Mandy Lee I don’t think I have ever told you how much I truly enjoy your channel! We like a lot of the same types of makeup, even though I usually go warmer than you. Since I have really fair skin, red hair and blue eyes. I think I have just as much makeup( maybe not as many foundations 😂), maybe I should start a channel too. Anyway, I don’t know if you watch Penn Smith Skincare, but if you are starting to have issues with sun spots, pigmentation or any other anti-aging questions, she is amazing and has turned my skincare game around. She has also helped me save a lot of money where it really counts and know what I should do that really works. Thanks again for being a wonderful Creator and having fun and making a bright spot in my day every time you upload a video❣️💜💜💜 Nancy

Feeling so much better to know other people also apply foundation type products with fingers!! 😆 Thanks for your videos!!

Could you do a video about your favourite mascaras (drugstore or high end) ?

[@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens]

The mascara from Lilly Lashes is the BEST.

[@DanielleNicoleMakeup]

I am obsessed with the Elf Putty blushes. The consistency is amazing and they set well over powder 🥰 Tarte has an ash blonde brow pencil that is the perfect cool shade and comes with a gel on the other side. Tarte and the UD brow blade are the only brands that make good cool tones

Great video! You look beautiful, as usual. I tried the Elf CC cream and had to take it back. It went on like a dream, but after a couple of hours I looked in the mirror and scared myself to death! I looked like an old dried up alligator. I’m so happy they took it back.

[@kathymcmanus9535]

@@playingtime24 I also couldn’t us the IT cc cream...similar results. So if you can use IT, you might can use the Elf.

[@sarahwalden178]

I love using waterproof mascaras as a final coat over any other regular mascara. In my opinion, it makes any mascara a little more water resistant, but it’s still easier to remove at the end of the night! I always have one in my collection for this purpose, but I almost never wear it on its own for exactly the reasons you say-so hard to build!

[@melaniereis23]

I love your eye makeup application today! Super!😚👌

[@rebeccacranston930]

Really love this look on you, Mandy! Gorgeous eyeshadow colors. Everyone always talks about brow gel products from Elf and Benefit, but never Essence’s Make Me Brow! It’s a great product at a great price!

[@tammiemartinez6485]

The only brow products I've ever used was one from Bobbi Brown (this was 15 yrs ago at least) and the clear Maybelline gel. Yesterday I picked up the brow gel from Elf. I just used it. I'm in awe!! I can't believe how well it's holding my brows in place without feeling crunchy as well as how much product it dispensed. I have pretty full brows and only need a little bit of fill-in in 2 areas on both brows. It did that seamlessly. I also picked up one of their no budge eyeshadows without even realizing it, lol. It's the rose gold shade. I'm in awe of this product too. I have to be careful when using anything glitter due to aging lids. This product worked so great for me. Usually it takes me 30-45 mins to get the look I want. Today? I was able to do my makeup and hair in that amount of time. Don't know if anyone has tried Hard Candys eye primer. I bought that too. Today is the 1st time using it but I gotta say. It worked just as good as my UD primer potion that I just bought 2 days ago. Sorry for the novel but I just wanted to share. Maybe someone will get some good, cheap products out of this... 😉

[@jessicasmakeupjourney]

I live in northeast Ohio and oh my it has been so so so cold and just none stop snow. We havent had this much snow in years! I want to try the elf putty blushes. I ❤ elf

[@angelicagutierrez8888]

I love the Elf Cc cream and the Milani blush as well ☺

[@cultivatingbeauty3217]

Love the eye look. I am so bummed I missed the Mulan eye palette. I did just pick up one of the blushes from the collection during colourpop’s sale, and I’m excited to try it out! I’d love to see you do a video on the hair products you love using when your hair is curly vs straight. I have wavy textured hair and am always on the lookout for new things to try. Also, I really think you should pick up on Amazon the CanUBexAnwen Cellophane palette. It is around $7, I believe, and it is 100% worth it for the shimmers alone (thought the mattes are nice, too). You would absolutely love having the shades The Pixies, Yes B Yes, and Icy Queen in your collection. FM is also great! Stay warm and keep the awesome content coming! XO from NOLA!

[@sarahwalden178]

The elf putty blushes were a surprise favorite of mine this fall-when you put them on with your fingers they dry to a power quickly and it makes them so easy to blend! I love that they have a lot of deeper shades, because cream blushes can tend to veer light. Even though you and I have the same skin tone, I actually prefer their two deepest shades-Maldives and Bali-applied with a lighter hand, because they’re just different from anything else I own!

[@roxannestowell6175]

Love that Mulan palette..... gonna have to pick that one up 🥰

[@katyeribble5162]

I also started buying the brow pencil because of Jessica Braun. It’s my new go to and has replaced my expensive Dior brow pencil. Also bought the Milani blush and absolutely love it!!! ❤️

[@dvanhottie]

Just got a box of ELF in the mail. I ordered the Cc cream ! Can’t wait to try it tomorrow. Love your videos!

[@sarahwalden178]

In the LA Girl brow pencil, I actually use the shade darker than taupe-Soft Brown. Both Blond and Taupe look almost green in my brows (and we have the same skin tone and hair color). So if you read this and decide to buy another of these pencils, I definitely recommend going with Soft Brown-it’s perfect!

[@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens]

*Mandy, for reals....you HAVE TO try the mascara from Lilly Lashes. I don't know why nobody's talking about it but it is BEAUTIFUL. No smudging, flaking or transfer. It is easy to remove and makes the lashes look GLORIOUS. Now, I'm going to hold my breath until you try it...okay, GO!*

Hi Mandy, love this look on you. I do have sand use the elf Camo CC Cream. I really like it. I use it with the Camo hydrating concealer. There are some great ingredients in this cc cream. That’s how I justified the price tag. I don’t mind paying a little more if the formula is good. I just received the elf putty blush I think in the same shade, Tahiti. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet. Looks beautiful on. 💜💚💜

Closest I've found is the Monsieur Big (I'm a waterproof fan) but they don't make a black/brown shade which is my preference. I feel like if you go waterproof, the wand has to have natural bristles because the plastic spikey ones just clump the lashes together but that's just me...Samantha March said the CC cream broke her out so would love to know if you have the same experience as that's why I am holding off on getting it.
