THIS VS. THAT: What Products are BEST for YOU?

[@Alberto-wu1mj]

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!!

[@simplyellenxo95]

Same here! I can always trust Nikki’s advice on makeup!!!😊

[@janinepannell]

She likes everything I made that mistake too and bought some crap products

[@Lennypecan27]

I second this!

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.

[@alehalun2385]

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

[@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.

[@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!!

[@Jack_Jack9]

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

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 ❤

[@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.

[@lisajmakeup]

Loved this Nikki! Agree on all points 💯

[@louiegabriel637]

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!

[@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!

[@amandashank7792]

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

[@iloverednails]

One of the most informative makeup videos! Thank you, once again, Nikki

[@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!

[@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. ❤

[@laceypotts916]

Yay! I love a Nikki Saturday Morning video. ❤

[@plasmichoneytrip]

Westman atelier is expensive but everytime I look and use it, it feels worth it. The packaging alone is the best and looks luxurious. I also love the cream texture. it’s so easy to apply.

[@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!

[@Juleaf8]

Loved your explanations for who certain products would work best for. Very informative and helpful.

[@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🤩🤩❤❤

[@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! ❤

[@kathyburleson6046]

Nikki, u r the goddess artist of all makeup videos, I would have to say I wished u were my sister. I would have such beautiful, flawless skin like u , and I would have a skin routine like you . Thank you for teaching all of us subscribers' new techniques with makeup. We love you with the most respect.❤❤

[@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…

Hi Nikki! Thank you for teaching us all so much about makeup products and how to use them and your brushes. I own two sets of your brushes plus a few extras I bought singly.

[@foo_pans1801]

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.

[@rosacuore15]

I love your brand brushes as well as your recommendations on makeup. I have been taking about few years to learn ( starting using makeup at 38/39, barely used it before) especially make up no makeup. You and Andreea Ali, video tutorials, taught me how to use makeup. Thank you 🙏 so much ❤

[@yurimalazo1636]

Love your videos Nicky! Being over 40, having combo skin AND fine lines/wrinkles….i feel it’s important to separate the mature skin category into mature/oily and mature/dry. Generally speaking, the way that products are categorized often makes it difficult to choose.

You are beautiful and so talented! I have mature, dry skin. I use the ND concealer, Givenchy powder, WA cream blush. For setting spray, you use CT setting spray daily, BUT if I am wearing a white shirt or dress, I bring out the OS! Of course all with BK beauty brushes. I am going to try the Armani liquid blush. It looked amazing on you and changed the entire look. ❤

[@marnieschagunn7310]

Hi Nikki, thank you for this video. I’m 56 & you have easily influenced me to buy products that have been awesome for me. I was thinking of purchasing the Saie concealer & you have influenced me again. lol I also ordered the Ciele, tint, blush & sculpt, can’t wait to try them. Love your brushes too, game changer. 🥰🤗

[@sivadnetsirhc7312]

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

Super enlightening! I clearly understand the products on the right side of your face are meant for me. I seem to know which blush and lip products I prefer, but get so conflicted over concealers and powders. Thank you also for featuring a drugstore alternative for the setting spray.

[@ghadeeral888]

Nikki if u find the Givenchy powder fine you will ADORE hourglass veil loose powder!! It’s literally filter and thinner than a anythingggg😅❤️ it’s so amazing despite the price

[@simplyellenxo95]

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

[@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 ❤
