TRYING NEW MAKEUP: ABH Rose Metals, MAKE Beauty Blushes, Merit Minimalist & MORE

[@mikaylapride0124]

There isn’t a makeup reviewer that gives us true long content that’s enjoyable through and through. As humans were being groomed into only being able to concentrate with short form content and I HATE it. Love that you work all days of the week to get us quality content.

I wish I could give this 100 likes. Love Kackie and long-form content!!!

Along with Kackie, Hannah Louise Poston also has wonderful long content videos. Both Hannah and Kackie are my favorites!!!

[@YaddaYaddaYana]

I don't think I've ever loved a palette as much as the Rose Metals. The color story is just the most perfect mix of grungy colors. Can't stop using it.

[@sarah.weaver]

I fel the exact same way, and I am a makeup artist, with a collection so large it has its own insurance policy. It is stunning. It's my perfect palette.

[@lj1610]

I tried so hard to cover my dark circles but in my mid-30s I’ve learned to embrace them!! Omg I look like me now. I still wear concealer but I’m not using correctors and brighteners to fix a problem that’s not really there. My dark circles are beautiful and distinguish me as a weary and wise person who has experienced some sh*t and I love that.

[@gwendolinehall1386]

I love editing kackie making appearances. It brings joy.

[@rootintobeing]

Okay, conceptually breaking the big palette into quads was mind-blowing! I never know how to put looks together with the the big palettes so visually splitting up the smaller color stories was such a helpful idea. Thank you!

[@starfish8D]

Dear Kackie, when I'm having a terrible day, you are the remedy. Thank you.

[@kackie]

Awww! I am sorry you're having a terrible day, but I'm so humbled to help!

[@SaplingTarot]

Oh noooooo. The way the palette is organised made it and instinctive pass for me - but the way you swatched it into quads? Stunning. Breathtaking. Right up my alley.

[@kackie]

🥰🥰🥰 omg making order from the chaos. ME?? Who knew!

[@Midwest_Sunshine]

I am absolutely IN LOVE with the ABH palette! You hit the nail on the head…I can’t put it down either!

[@antsyclara]

Have you done a video that shows all the microsuede blush colors? I'm really interested but having a heck of a time picking.

[@kathysnyder3053]

Please review or do a short with the Make Beauty blushes. I’d like to see them swatched together. I can’t decide which color I want. ❤️

[@redolentkate]

Yes to a rose metals vs nouveau high noon standoff~~ both draw me in, neither has me pulling the trigger.

[@nillavanilla989]

Same, it’s so hard to tell which I’d get more use out of!

[@redolentkate]

@@nillavanilla989 Same! I mean, sure I'd gladly accept them both as gifts, but I am not purchasing both ~~ maybe not either of them....because Byredo's Corporate Colors keeps tugging at me as well and I already has MELT's Gemini II. Hey @Kackie Reviews Beauty: how about a showdown of all the long stem dead rose palettes that emerged and continue to emerge (ND's upcoming Retro Glam) this season, that'd be fun....

[@raquel8780]

I love how you wear makeup, Kackie! Your takes, at least to me, are unique and your sense of humor is def my vibe! Thanks for this video!

[@jo4vt]

I love how you were startled when the match lit. You’re delightful.

[@kathysnyder3053]

I’ve been waiting to see the make beauty blushes. So excited. 👀

[@sandraespinomendoza313]

Lol, I just love u Kackie- u make my days happy- u r just funny and creative, and do great reviews. Like a friend reviewing makeup in the must casual authentic way.

[@kackie]

Aww!!! ☺️☺️☺️

[@baileydubs]

I love the replica fragrances! I have a mini (because I’m poor) beach walk and by the fireplace. Oh my goodness ❤

[@lenka156]

The colors of the palette look fabulous and the "matte balm" looks perfect too!

[@kackie]

🥰🥰🥰

[@ryanbruns501]

Not sure if you normally post this late, I usually watch you when I'm getting ready in the mornings buuuut my husband is re-watching the Halloween movies and I'm terrified of scary movies so I get to zen out with you tonight!

[@melliedavis2193]

The Rose Metals palette has really been tempting me, especially after swatching in store. I can dupe some of the colors, but not so much the textures/finishes. This is really helpful in my decision-making. Although with the upcoming Lisa Eldridge eye palette , I am holding for now!

[@melissalynn1215]

I took a look through my horde and if you have Colourpop Stone n Roses or Huda Rose Quartz, you don’t need it.

[@Nukemoth]

I’m so interested in your take on the new em cosmetics soft spoken lipsticks

[@spontaneousun]

Just a thought as you’re putting your new foundation stick directly on the area that needs antibiotics - do you need to be careful with that? Could it spread to your makeup and then spread to other parts of your face via the foundation stick? Health issues suck would hate for you to have to deal with your skin issues spreading.

[@kackie]

Lol yeah I'm new to all this you're definitely right

[@spontaneousun]

@@kackie Health stuff is always a learning curve! I still reflexively do things that makes my PT want to pull her hair out. I’m sure we’ll both get there in the end 💛 Good luck with healing your skin!

[@meaganevoy]

This eye look is to die for!!! And OMG my anxiety was thru the roof every time you held that palette up... I was just waiting for the shades to fall right out!

[@geekbabe100]

Pale skinned gal watching your review with great interest ❤ I think I would do my eyes first with that ABH palette due to fall out

[@MargoSickele]

I love the ABH palette too; mine also came with the same two colors having fallen apart in transit. I just used my finger to "mash" them back down, but they are definitely fragile. I swoon over those colors myself. I just a purchased a second Modern Renaissance palette because I panned all but 2 of the shades. Different formula, but also a favorite. Thanks for the great review!!

[@BrandiThompsonisawesome]

Ah. I agree the ABH eyeshadow is soft and crumbly but color is so strong. I love that palette. I had been eyeballing Nouveau but now I think I’m shifting. Also, I love that Kaja lip!

[@scarletwillowwood489]

Kackie, I love ur nails! What’s the polish color called?

[@notes_to_elle8664]

The music while you were doing your brows and lashes n stuff was unexpectedly intense :D 💣💣💣

[@gabrielaidania]

Hi! I am a new subscriber. I was watching one of your videos where you recommended a kaja bento eyeshadow for olive skin-yes, my skin looks green against other skin tones. I struggle a lot with choosing colors that harmonize with my skin tone. I would love to get your recommendation, or if you can make a video about it, it would be fantastic. Thanks.

[@PersonaCosmetics]

Yessss, Bronze looks so good on you, Kackie! 💗😍

[@meepmoopmeep1]

It took me a while to find time to watch this video but I’m so glad I did! This look is hot hot hot!!!

[@lisadgingersnaps9843]

Candle 👀 Also, love the nails. Also, that is a candle I've been debating buying. 🤔

[@TheSlimjadey1]

Did you shake up the eye primer? Because it's not supposed to have a calamine lotion consistency.

[@kackie]

Lol maybe not. But it worked great.

[@PaintedWit]

Clionadh eyeshadows CAN BE $25 (canadian) but some are like as low as $6. So you know you're paying for the quality of whatever shadow it is. Most I find to be about $10-15 and I use them everyday so it's worth it for me.

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

Lol total riot girl vibes, albeit the rg with a Jetta ;). Heroin chic really wasn't about heroin when it was applied by 20 somethings, it was more of a middle finger to beauty standards - models & design houses had all kinds of beauty aesthetics, some hit the mainstream, but many did not - the whole retail cycle was much slower. In Montana, the cowgirl "full coverage natural" look with tons of foundation, blush & mascara was the look. Plus, it wasn't as mainstream as movies depicted, for instance, very few people wore grungy eyeliner to work and the bougie girls didn't embrace it much even on weekends. When we went to shows at the black cat or 930 club in DC, the grunge look was big, but definitely a scene thing. Btw love the art theory, it totally inspired me tonight! I cannot believe I've become someone who will wear a whole range of red or pink eye looks!!! This is not something I see anywhere around here, so I am loving it!

[@cristinag3507]

I was hesitating on purchasing this palette during the VIB sale because as much as I am ENRAPTURED by this color story, I'm no makeup artist and I couldn't understand how to make a look. You did such a superb job of deciphering this story by dividing them into quads that I am now 100% confident that I can use it and will be purchasing. I get it now! Excellent video.

[@kackie]

Aw!!! Yay aww that makes me happy

[@breckpeabody1473]

If you are using a very aggressive toothpaste - like a crest or tolgate variety.. knock it off for a bit and see if that helps the chin situation.

[@lisadgingersnaps9843]

😂😂my Virgo soul KNEW you were going to say you'd put them in their quads 😂😂❤️

[@kackie]

🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Lisa_Petrison]

I wonder if you have tried hypochlorous acid (such as Tower 28 SOS or Briotech) or ozonated oils (such as Pur03) for the skin problems. Maybe followed by skincare that includes fermented ingredients. Or even some live yogurt, as a mask.

[@kackie]

Yeah I use that!

[@thingsofmymind6194]

My eyes also turn demon red with some colors but I like it. My friend calls them werewolf eyes.

[@evie7738]

You are very beautiful and a true artist. Love watching your channel.

[@contessie]

I really want to try purple blush after your last Make Beauty video and I'm wondering whether you like their cheek tint or powder blush better for incorporating purple?

[@vamoskaka22]

Kackie! Can you do a big round up style video revisiting all of the major launches this year in each category? I'm curious to hear your thoughts on whether you still like/dislike certain foundations etc.

[@kackie]

Different from my year end best of the best? I also do one mid year. I have a playlist of them!

[@vamoskaka22]

@@kackie i love those! i was thinking like "here are the top 10 foundations releases of 2022 do i still love/hate them?" unless you already go over that in best of the best :)

[@agresticumbra]

I apply minimalist with my fingers, and have bone. I'd love to sample Silk, just to compare the undertone and lightness to Bone. WA stick looks chalky under eyes, and I find it more difficult to blend than minimalist. Ya, from how you describe it let's me know that this eyeshadow palette is a no-go for me. Can say, however, that I love the first 3 colors you applied to your eye area.

[@_Julie_Bee]

I didn't quite understand what you said your skin issue was ,but if it spreads, won't it get on your makeup applicator and come back later as you use them again?

[@kackie]

Not necessarily the makeup applicator, but you're right that wet skin will make it spread. I'm just now learning that 😩

[@_Julie_Bee]

@@kackie it really suck, I'm so sorry for you 😭 buuut, you'll be able to warn and teach it to other ppl who might suffer from the same thing! That's a plus!

[@illyriagoddess133]

I was hoping you’d tell me the eyeshadow palette was terrible but now it’s going into my cart for the Sephora sale 😅 thank you for breaking it into the quads tho, that def gave me ideas on how I would use it!

[@nillavanilla989]

If you can wait, ABH will eventually have a 40% off palettes sale… That’s what I’m holding out for 😅

[@mymagicemily]

On a completely unrelated note, have you ever listened to the Smell Ya Later podcast? It's my favorite level of organized chaos, with two beauty writer hosts who live discussing all things scent and smell. Their last episode they ranked the top 12 B&BW candle scents, and they have equal appreciation for luxury and affordable.

[@kackie]

That sounds LOVELY!

[@mymagicemily]

@@kackie it really is! They release episodes on Tuesdays and honestly I get excited for them every time. They're both in New York so they have that chaotic energy going too.

[@annaward1923]

Just coming down here to throw a comment in re: traditionally negative connotations sometimes being aesthetic. In my world, on my head/face, I live this often. I wear a Mullet. Like my hair is a true mullet. And I get soo many compliments on my hair.. similarly the face structure is very- skeletal. And honestly I feel prettiest when I lean into that and really hollow out the places that make me more skeletal. I know that sounds crazy. But I really like it.

[@lindsaykar5477]

I find that the Merit complexion stick only looks good when my skin is 100000% hydrated. If I have any dryness, it’s no good, actively bad. I use the BK 101 w it

[@caitlinallday8999]

Ok, that Snoopy moment was so cute. Also MAKEUP BRACKET!!!! Grab 3 other reviewers and do it!

[@kackie]

Wait help explain to me hahahaha

Please compare the nouveau and rose quartz in a separate video!

[@zuria07]

Every video I’ve seen for this pallete has been a different look and that says a lot about it’s versatility.

[@erinnswan7063]

Kackie I an a Cancer Aries Jupiter which I find a hard tone and like any recommendations on books for beginners in astrology and beyond that would be helpful for me to understand myself better. Perhaps work on my self because I need to learn some self love. Being water sign and a fire are very just opposed.Also if anyone else has suggestions please add. Also if you have something negative to say please refrain.I not having the best of time right now.

[@nailinthefashion]

Me: 🎶mmmmmost boringest palette in the worrrrrrld🕺🏾 Kackie: most stimulating most interesting I keep reaching for it I dream about it my socks have been knocked the frick frack off it--

[@tonyamendivel2826]

Thanks Kackie sorry I'm late to watch this video 📹

[@imaginarycosmetics]

I'm the complete opposite when it comes to singles vs palettes😂 based on your makeup preferences, I agree tho', I don't think singles or BYOP is for you, but I'd still like to see you try creating a palette with something like the Lethal Cosmetics palette builder😂 I think it would be interesting to watch. I disagree that singles are always more expensive premade palettes, tho'. Simply because you can use the same shades over and over again in new color stories. Instead of buying the same shades in palettes over and over again and ending up with hundreds of dollars worth of matte creams and light transition shades, that I personally never use.

[@Henou55]

Ahhh I see it 90's grunge eye look A modern version though

[@mollympls]

anastasia herself is a big, open pro-putin ukraine war supporter, so i'm going to be boycotting ABH as long as she has anything to do with the brand.

[@kackie]

Yeah we chatted about this in another video. There was a ton of conflicting information.

[@sarahevans6322]

New goal: Finding a dupe for Ashes. Ashes, Nocturne, and Haze are the only colors that appeal to me from that palette. Nocturne and Haze look easily dupable, but Ashes not so much.

[@dianeschneider7627]

Did you change your toothpaste? A lot of people get this reaction from toothpaste.

[@kackie]

Hmm maybe. I kind of grab mike's sometimes but I used to use that one too

[@beaherzberg]

This sounds crazy, but switching to natural toothpaste has really helped my chin situation. There’s some crazy stuff in “normal” toothpastes that can really tend to irritate.

[@TheJordandean]

Yes the sodium laurel sulfate in most toothpastes gives me per oral dermatitis. Some of the sensodyne toothpastes are SLS free but you have to read the fine print 😂.

[@louisec7905]

[@SopranoGonzalez714]

My main takeaway from this is 🎉BLUSH TOURNAMENT🎉. Extreme *this or that* 16 blushes enter, only ONE emerges😈

[@OpenOurHearts]

Did you just invent the word onomatoPOETIC? 😂❤

[@prophetess.cassandra]

Ughh don’t make me buy this palette. I already made a dupe in a magnetic palette, but I still want it so bad. I love ABH’s dusty, sexy mud formula.
