I do watch a few make up channels, but this is the only channel where I will buy product based on Nikki’s recommendations. I always appreciate how she details the positive and less than positive about products and what they can achieve..

[@PINKSTONES6]

Me too, I am with you!

[@Kittykat79NY]

Totally agree! Everything I've purchased that was a Nikki has recommended have been winners!!

I almost dropped dead when you said 38 years old. I thought I was like 17 years older than you I thought maybe 30. Nikki you’re gorgeous and it shows that you know how to take care of yourself and your skin. This is why I love your channel. Well one of many reasons. You teach, you are fun to watch and you care about all people and skin types. Not just whats hot for TikTok and i love that.

[@FamilyAnimalsMusicMakeupBooks]

Not that you don't always looks gorgeous Nikki, but with your eyes done and just concealer you look so beautiful too!

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Thank you so so much!!

I agree. You look so beautiful with this clean look. I wish I could create a make up look like this.

[@maureentakach3065]

Yes, I agree. She is beautiful.

[@CherryBlue9]

man this is exactly what i been looking for! i need this type of advice ill go into make up shops asking questions for what works on my skin type and half the time they dont wanna be helpful so thanks for posting this video please do more of these!

[@alehalun2385]

I looooved “this or that”!!! So helpful to understand when to use each! Please do more!

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I love This and I love That! Most days I keep things simple and light but sometimes I need the full catastrophe. Thank you for fleshing everything out.

[@lesliehatch-herman9325]

“the full catastrophe” 😂 This is the perfect phrase to describe my makeup attempts! Hope you have an amazing weekend!

[@maureentakach3065]

"Full catastrophe." That sounds like me, too. Thanks for a good laugh😅

[@Kori-Barrenger]

A favorite part of my Saturday mornings!! And I love this whole look you got going on here 😍🤌🏼💋

[@maarika_k]

Morning classes with Professor La Rose! 😉 Perfect to know exactly what products i should recommend to my SiL who doesn’t wear a ton of makeup and just wants more of the "natural" and softer side (vs me with the full glam)!

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Oh I’m so happy this was helpful!!!! And thank you for watching, I love this nickname !!’🥹😂❤️

[@amandam6901]

I love the Natasha Denona concealer, but to apply I put a small amount on the back of my hand and then apply it with a damp sponge. It goes on much lighter that way, I still get great coverage but without a heavier "makeup" look.

[@joanehartman]

This was so helpful. Thank you. I am 72 and do live videos teaching card making… so I’ve been trying to learn how to do my make up well. I’ve wasted a lot of money trying good products that aren’t good for me. I watched your video on tinted serums and tried the IT CC cream and I love it. I’m going to try the powder you suggested for mature skin, and maybe the concealer. I love both kinds of blushes you showed but have the best luck with cream blush. I need my lip color to LAST so I would love a video on lip color that lasts that also doesn’t dry your lips. Thank you for all you share with us. ❤

[@lisajmakeup]

Loved this Nikki! Agree on all points 💯

[@rosea3974]

That Givenchy powder looks so beautiful. I think I need some! I tried some of the OS spray in Sephora recently and my makeup didn’t move for hours. It’s great. I’ve actually got the L’Oréal version. It’s pretty good, makeup doesn’t budge, and it’s even extra work to remove it. The lipgloss looks pretty, but like most products it’s not available here in Australia. Hopefully now that we have Sephora it will slowly change and more will become available. There’s definitely more than there was 5 years ago. Keep it coming!

[@amandashank7792]

Love all the advise you give for all skin types it’s so helpful!! 💄

Yay. Saturday morning watching Nikki and washing my Nikki La Rose brushes. Vibes! 🫶🏻

By far one of the best make up videos on KZbin. Clear, informative, and easy to digest answers to questions I didn’t know to ask. Brava!

You are by far my favorite to watch on youtube ❤ I love your brushes too 🎉 thank you for sharing your knowledge with us I have learned so much from you ❤

[@mollyjane01]

So many good formulas here! Both sides are so beautiful for different reasons….however I’m definitely more drawn to the daily/more natural side as I’m 41 & have dry skin. Btw, you’re rockin’ that denim top & those gold hoops, Nikki🤩🤩❤❤

[@janmcmahon7358]

Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos. I started watching you tube makeup tutorials when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Makeup is so much more important when you are bald from chemo. I bought your amazing BK Beauty Nikki brushes and I have got to say they are a game changer. I often watch your drugstore makeup reviews and using your brushes makes even a ten dollar blush look incredible. Thank you so much for all your teaching and for helping me to feel beautiful at a time when I really needed that.

[@aimeeholden..]

Please do more of these videos!! This format was so helpful for me as I'm usually torn between your recommendations. Thanks for all that you do!! 💗💗💗💗

[@suecone2198]

Thank you for the explanation of these products and how they work for the look you are going for but also how they work on your skin, which is important! No one ever explained how the OS setting spray should not be used every day! I live in a hot humid climate so i thought this was great, but on the days I don’t have to be out and about I should use something different Thank you so much for going through each of these products and how each one worked!

[@jbjhumphreys1329]

Nikki - this is by far one of the most helpful videos you’ve made to date!! Your eye makeup for this one is also super pretty - would you consider doing a tutorial on this look? It’s so flattering!!!

I am 49 with mature undereye, and I've got the Prisme Libre powder. It's very nice, but the Pat McGrath one still looks better on me. So far, nothing I've tried matches it.

Love that denim vest!

[@janissanders1156]

Hi Nikki. I don’t leave comments often, but I have to let you know how helpful you are. After a short period of time where I was just buying WAY too much makeup (my job is WFH after all😅), I did a big purge (my friends were quite happy about that) and now I only want to buy products that I will use up and/or use often. Your channel has given me so much knowledge and technique, I feel that I can use and enjoy my older products properly. And any additional purchases I make, will be with total intention. Thanks so much! ❤

[@laceypotts916]

Yay! I love a Nikki Saturday Morning video. ❤

[@kathleencoomans8210]

I love how you explain for whom the products are best…..e.g. the concealer for example, not just an explanation but it’s best for high coverage, light coverage etc and the skin condition…thsnkyou for the thorough explanation…

[@Veronica_penpaperinkandstudy]

I never comment but seriously Nikki these are the videos that I need!!!! You cut through all the BS and influencing and help with informed decision making. ❤❤❤❤

Nikki, I swear you've never looked more beautiful before than in this video. I want the ND concealer, each color of blush and lipsticks, plus the Givenchy powder if they could look even one billionth as good on me as they do on you!! I think you're fantastic!!!!!! 😊

[@simplyellenxo95]

Love the fact that you do different comparisons on each products..😊

I live in a very hot humid place and the One Size setting spray was a game changer for longevity. I have very dry skin, just turned 50 and I love it because it just makes my makeup stay in place in the South Tx heat/humidity.

Hi Nikki, I am 49 and I watch you religiously. I have a hard time with concealer because of my under eye lines and creasing.

[@martahaces]

Loved this format 🎉 Both looks are so down my alley, and look amazing and very fresh on you. I would like to add that the setting sprays of CT and Milani are very different ingredient wise, and my sensitive skin cannot tolerate the Milani one because it contains both niacinamide and alcohol. Charlotte’s is painfully my favourite because the price is not it, but glad other people can have a decent drugstore option ❤

[@thesavvystop]

Yes I watch your videos all the time!! They are so helpful!! Thank you :)

[@1pennyloafer]

Not a comment on this video (it's fabulous, as always), but I've seen you wear glasses - usually when doing other people's makeup, not your own. I struggle with eye makeup and brows because I have to wear glasses. Could we get you to do a makeup-with-glasses look? Tips for applying as well as enhancing your eyes when they're hidden behind spectacles all day? Would love that! Thank you for what you do for this community!
