Testing 5 STAR RATED MAKEUP that’s not VIRAL *yet* (ep. 2)

[@HeidiLilley]

Rach, I am old enough to be your grandmother (most likely), 62 yrs old. I rarely wear makeup, and have literally NO clue how to apply it properly. I am learning so much from your videos on makeup. I love this series/concept. What I would LOVE to see you do is a video with maybe your grandmom, or an older friend/relative, using drugstore brand makeups and skin care products. I know that it is totally different the types and methods of application of makeups, and I'd really enjoy watching you walk an older person through the basics of makeup. (I'll be your adopted gramma if you want to come to New Hampshire LOL)

[@carveylover]

Don't make yourself feel that old at 62, you could be her mom she is in her mid-late 30's I believe. If you are looking for MUA'S( Make-up artists) that do mature skin make up I would look at Lisa Eldridge for her tutorial. There is also a woman on here I can't remember her name right now she is in her 50's and my mom who is 65 likes her a lot. Maybe she can do a tutorial with her mum or Chris's mom.

[@malicestar13]

@@carveylover I 100% agree with this and I want to add Hot & Flashy here on KZbin! She is in her 60s and looking FABULOUS!

[@brandifaith3410]

I love this idea! It would be cool to see her do makeup on someone in her family with mature skin.

[@JLoDucky]

My mum does fairly basic makeup and as I’m into makeup for a wedding she asked me to help her. It’s such a different style to mine that she’s comfortable with. I’m very much bright rainbow metallics and she wanted something dressy but classy and elegant so I had to do a lot of research and try out shades I’ve never used in my pallets to find what would suit her needs. It gave me an insight into my future and how my tastes might change.

[@ItsJustLisa]

@@carveylover, you’re thinking of Angie/Hot & Flashy. She’s 60, if I remember right. I can never remember if she’s 7.5 months older than me or 16.5 months older than me.

[@kygregory88]

I’m sorry but I laughed way too hard when you showed your “tan socks” 🤣 Thank you for sharing though you definitely saved us big time! I love how thorough and honest you are about the products you review! It definitely makes purchasing products so much easier! I’m honestly so glad to have found you as watching your videos can turn a bad day right around! Your humor and positivity are infectious 🌻☀️You look absolutely gorgeous BTW 💁🏼‍♀️💖

[@pjs299]

I really like this video concept, we don't need testing viral tic-toc videos, let's find our own gems worth viral status!

[@hiitskaitlyn]

I agree. I'm so tired of anything Tik Tok.

[@Elizabeth96706]

Everything on tik tok is viral anyway and exaggerated so it’s hard to tell what’s actually good or not

[@mvpgale]

@@Elizabeth96706 right? and everyone jus gets sponsors and never actually tests products

[@bltotrs92]

I like both kinds of videos though

[@pjs299]

Ha, I can't spell Tik Tok apparently, shows how little I know about it. 😅 I'm in my mid-late 30s. 👴👵

[@jessicas253]

LOL - love the tan socks! 🤣💜 Definitely didn't see that coming!

[@celeste8157]

I must not be the only one who's obsessed with these types of videos because Rachel just keeps pumping them out!

[@sahie]

I’m obsessed with the idea of Rach going to school pickup and the other mums being like, “She’s so extra! She always has a full face of makeup on!” 🤣🤣🤣

[@Parenting_neurospicy]

I would also love if you did a Rach Recommends list. I don't always remember some of the items that you highly recommend and then I try to find them and then I am woefully inept at searching for them.

[@susanjeffries5108]

Yes! I've had this same thought!

[@PrincessxxWolf]

I agree. I have a similar skin type as Rachel so I like to use similar products and sometimes can't remember what her favorites are

[@jayklee88]

I do a lot of incentivized reviews, there is no stipulation that the review has to be positive and I try to be as thorough as possible when leaving my review. Stick to the ones that explain why they like it because some people will just leave a 5 star review because they are excited to have received the product for free.

[@AnnaReed42]

My biggest pet peeve when reading reviews: "I haven't tried it yet. 5 stars." Why. Why would you leave a review for a product you haven't tried yet.

[@momma2thewilds88]

Plus alot of sites give you points. Like one will give me points for each review, I do 30 reviews I will get a free 3 wick large candle...... I have about 6 sites that I do this on. Half of them won't give you a point unless it's 5 stars.. sort of like my partner in bussiness giving tenants $500 for each 5 star review..... that's super illegal!

[@Boopsy1982]

I do too. I am always honest. I couldn't imagine only giving five stars because it was free. If it sucks then I say so lol.

[@RussianHostageSunflower]

Where do you do them? I use to years ago but I didn't like the company.

[@trishaburris1724]

I do reviews too, if I don't like it, I say so and also why I don't like it.

[@She_does_glam]

I am part of "the incentivized", being an Influenster. But I ALWAYS give an honest review and I try to keep price at the forefront of my review. "Would I pay this much for this product?", etc. So I review these products as a total consumer. And I think others do the same.

[@shay514]

How does one become incentivized?

[@lifewithbumbles]

Girl! Those tan socks! 😂 that’s hilarious and I absolutely love it. Great video!

[@jadedbelle4788]

I don't see a lot of people testing out Flower in these types of videos. For me their products work really well. My eyes and skin are quite sensitive and get very irritated with a lot of shadows, liners and foundation but i don't have those issues with Flower. Their foundation is a really good colour match for me. It is light coverage which is what i prefer

[@marjoriecook7556]

😊 Back in the day (ie the 80’s, cuz I’m old) concealer was always applied prior to foundation. Not sure when that changed because when I got back in to makeup I was watching KZbin and saying, “Wait, what? Foundation first…with a *primer*?! Going to try a few of these out…thanks!

[@Megszbabe]

For the tanning spray, I spray it in my mitt and then apply. I find it isn't messy that way ;)

[@linseylinsey]

Same. That way it doesn't all collect on your feet too

[@Justbu462]

Brilliant!!😊

[@ItsJustLisa]

Welcome to the “paper white legs” club, Rachel! Honestly, I’ve been scared to try any tanning products. Coordination is definitely not my strong suit nor is flexibility. I could have my husband do it, but I’m pretty sure that would just get him low key excited to rubbing all over my body and not pay attention to getting it spread evenly. (28 years married and he still likes to get frisky when I’m busy cooking or washing dishes. It’s not that I mind, but when I’m frying bacon is definitely not the right time.)

[@merlinsmama1600]

🥓🥓🤣🤣🤣

[@crystalammons7907]

This made me laugh 😂 my husband is like this as well

[@terijackson2010]

Oh, my, that Kaja multi use is BEAUTIFUL! I NEED a pinky color asap!

[@myselfff1885]

I love you testing out newer/unknown products- I want to find those hidden gems! Especially from smaller brands

[@xaynbd]

So good Rachel! Thank you so much for your energy and ideas! I like your videos very much 🥰

[@samanthajohnston9269]

I have the one star makeup removing oil in a spray, I love it highly recommend!!

[@JacqueGonzalesTube]

I’ve been looking forward to your new videos all week. Yes, it’s been that kind of week for me … (I’m recovering from surgery) … and I needed a good dose of Rachel!!! Thank you! 💜 To end with a shot of your new “tan socks” was *chef’s kiss 😘 PERFECTION!!! 🤣😂🤣

[@joannawarrens5117]

I bought the Shisheido foundation brush from the last video. It’s fabulous and I use it every day!

[@dconway5166]

I have the waterproof of the essence mascara. Soooo good. No smudges. Flicks the lashes up. Kinda need to build it. 2-3 coats. But I love it.

[@aleigha9141]

I really love these kinds of videos! I know I’ll be seeing different products than what a lot of other influencers will be testing out. I love those too but these “not viral but 5 star” products are great finds! I also love that you do a wear test so we can see how the product performs. Thank you for trying them out and giving us your honest thoughts and opinions! Hope you can do something about your tan feet lol. Keep on shining! 💗💫🌟

[@mariannab.5884]

I don't know if you can see it the same way we do, but that foundation is a perfect match to your neck. Seriously, looks seamless and so smooth!!!!!

[@embellishmarin4647]

I like the One Size powder foundation, the tinted moisturizer and the concealer. Great products.

[@sandragarraz8048]

Oh Rach!!!! I'm so sorry but I just laughed way to hard at the feet!!!! 😂😂😂😂 Thanks for sharing

[@jessicaawesome-sauce1268]

I’d love to see a how to self tan video. I’m super pale and my legs don’t tan no matter what I do. Do you use a different product on your face then to match? And get deeper foundations?

[@catherinefrancisco3660]

Love these videos! I bit the bullet and bought the Shiseido kabuki bush because of your last video and I love it! To offset your matte concealer apply a thin layer of Charlotte Tilbury's hollywood flawless filter under your eyes before your concealer. It will brighten your eye and add dimension to an otherwise flat concealer.

[@41greene]

I love how you did your eyeshadow. Could you please show what you did off camera??? It looks amazing and would love to know how you did it

[@meremorris2013]

Kaja is SO under hyped! Their eyeshadow stacks are everything!!

[@ashipala5500]

Could you please do a in-depth video of scrub daddy’s. How it works with different dishwashing liquids and the difference between that and an ordinary sponge xx

[@triciasines7361]

This makeup looks so beautiful on you!!

[@Aqua_Lily]

You should have tried the waterproof version of the Double Trouble Essence -mascara. It's my new favorite. It does wonders to my lashes. I try to wipe excess product off the wand when pulling it out the tube.. Then I use the "hard plastic" side first on both eyes (so the first eye has already dried a bit when I go for second coat).. then on second coat I will use the "bristle" side.

New favorite series!

[@iamdifferent777]

I tried the most 2 weeks ago and I thought it was so good. The color comes out better if you don’t shower it off for 24 hours. I lift my leg in the air when I spray it so the mist doesn’t gather on my feet. I just got the dark mist in the mail today so I’m excited to try it!

[@dtulip1]

Back in the day (I'm 2nd half 50s!) we ALWAYS put concealer on FIRST then the Foundation

[@businessunfilteredllc]

When I tell you I HOLLERED at the end!!! Hoooooomygod. I love this series so much!! I got the O/S Palette because I like contour more than blush and I really like it. It definitely took me a couple of tries and brush changes to get it though. It works great with the Real Techniques contour brush!

[@jennrodrigue0409]

I love these videos!! Finding so many fun new things! It’s basically going viral now…. But I would love to see your thoughts on Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm 💜

You always look stunning when you do your makeup. And without x

[@conniechan6445]

Hi Rachel! I love your channel! You and Chris are absolutely adorable! I also have trouble with keeping my lashes curled and have been in search for a good mascara for that and I wondered if you tried curl fix mascara from etude house. It's a Korean brand. An idea for an episode is full face with Korean beauty brands :) love from a fellow Canadian

[@sweetmissirish]

Hello, fellow Canadian. I also have long lashes that don't like to curl, if you don't mind a waterproof mascara, I'd suggest Loreal's million lashes... I haven't found a non waterproof one yet

[@MrsPete-mq4tv]

That FOUNDATION LOOKS REALLY NICE . Idk how I found ur channel BUT IM SO GLAD I DID . Ur one of the most down to earth channels .THANK GOD LOL

[@chloehudson5]

With the essence mascara try hold the wand with the curved side up and push the lashes up while you apply it.

[@marcy8516]

Please show me how you did your eye look! 😍

[@hba3415]

Heyy, try making your liner in similar angle like your lower waterline. Like your lower waterline will continue. I wonder how it will look like💕

[@sariefaerie1121]

I literally just picked up the liner in black & brown today even before watching this video!! Great minds lol?!!! And I picked up 3 of those Kaja blushes last weekend!! 🖤💙💜

[@Ecox51719]

The double trouble mascara, is a good one for me. But I have long lashes, that are very curled constantly. I've used Kaja products for years. They are underrated for sure

[@sydneyflannery]

E.L.F. no budge shadow stick, especially in pearl! It's a pencil cream shadow but once it sets it does not move! I use it in my water line and it's the only thing that stays. And it's $5!

[@sweetmissirish]

I will have to try it... pretty much everything smudges on my eyes (can't do liner, shadow gathers in the crease no matter what i use as primer, soooo annoying) but I found Loreal infallible pro last liner worked well (slight smudge by the end bit not too bad)

[@kerricoakley1788]

Omg l literally laughed out loud when you showed your feet at the end!! Thank you, I really needed that! On a similar note, from the video it looked like the side you used the brush on was a little more than than the side you used the mitt.

[@kimmyball4961]

Would love a review of a heated eyelash curler I've been seeing!!!

[@charitymorris1871]

I started using Bronzed Cactus self tanner. I love it! Easy to apply and does not streak or turn orange. They are a small business (which makes it that much better :) I have also used the face tanning drops and love them.

[@mariatamburro]

I really like watching this. I'm just blown away that people spend this much time on makeup. Do you actually do this every day? Not that it doesn't look good cause you always look great! I'm really trying to understand.

[@melfryer9487]

Can you recommend a good glitter primer?(that I can hopefully get in NZ) I have so many glitter shadows but they have so much fall out. Love the eye look so much

[@sarah1320]

I love LOVE LOVE Essence Volume Hero. I've thrown out all my stoopid expensive mascaras because this one is GREAT. It doesn't flake or smudge, it's buildable. I'm usually a makeup snob but gosh, you can't beat $4.99 and quality.

[@kerryanne28]

I love this series!!! Please please pleaseeeeeeeeee review the brand VIEVE 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@dianaross2999]

Bondi sands every day gradual tanner is great. I apply after I shower. Every other day or so.

[@thepopfiles4294]

I use Tanologist face drops, 3 drops in my moisturiser of dark and body spray and apply by spraying onto applicator then onto body and never had any issues.

[@xoxostaci]

the new lash princess curl and volume I think you would like from Essence!! I LOVE it!!

[@desiraehutchings147]

I gotta know what nail polish you are wearing! I love it! Also, the tan socks made me giggle 🤭 thank you for trying things for me!

[@MilliDavison]

Love this idea! Viral products are all god and well, but let’s find those gems we can actually get our hands on yeah? My ‘should be viral’ product would be the ELF liquid glitter eyeshadows (specifically the shade flirty birdy) I use it all the time on my g channel! Love all ELF products but that one is *chef kiss* fantastic!xx

[@andyquilla]

I bought that Double Trouble mascara a couple of weeks ago but the waterproof version (my lashes fall too), at first felt it wet and droop my lashes (like Rachel) but know that's more dry works better.

[@lalacarroll431]

Lol 😂 I love Isle of Paradise products and I got the new Oil Mist and the same thing happened to me I hated that I couldn’t flip it upside down and all the oil went to my feet!! The brush is AMAZING I don’t ever use a tanning mitt anymore and I just stick to their mousse! I loved how the Flower Beauty shimmer shade looks definitely picking that up!

[@laural5793]

Please review Morphe 2 Quad Goals Multi-Palette, they're 5 different palettes. So good! Everything you need for a glowing look and so affordable! Quality product!

I still haven't tried essence mascara, I definitely need to. I've been loving L'Oreal noir balm mascara lately

[@sarahbauer315]

omg that essence mascara is AMAZING!!!!! I HAVE LIMP LASHES, AND THIS IS AMAZING! 🎉❤ oh and use it with their primer!!!!!

[@TheDeeviation]

I can't seem to make the isle of paradise spray work for me but the drops that you mix with lotion are great. They don't get patchy and aren't too yellow on me.

I stopped wearing makeup (what little I did) years ago. I’ve just never enjoyed the process or the results. That said, I really enjoy watching you try all these items.

I don't mind that there are incentivized reviews, but I wish it was added to their filter options. Something where you can filter it out, if preferred. I do hope the reviews are honest, but I do get skeptical when I see 5 star reviews with amazing things to say about the product.

😂 Your poor feet. That was weird. I actually have the Isle of P. Pro Glow Spray Tan Mister Starter Pack in my basket. Im v pale too and I don’t know if i should get light or medium but now mmmm..
