UNPOPULAR MAKEUP OPINIONS ☽ my underloved favorites + hyped up products I hate (nOt sORrY)

[@jenncart578]

unpopular opinion: julia needs to be one of the top beauty youtubers right this second

[@calebbuck6767]

that's a popular opinion

[@calebbuck6767]

Every time Julia talks about Kat Von D she thinks of a new disease that starts with a D and I friggin love it.

[@FuchsiaPandaBear]

I love how unique your facial features are compared to most of the other beauty youtubers. I don't really have any of the facial features of the average guru so it's really refreshing to see you! Your makeup looks are always gorgeous

I'm so glad you said that about Subculture! I love it too!!

[@gimmeproof]

OMG thank you for outing Wet n Wild stuff. I just can't make any of it work. Particularly the trash eye shadows. I'm cheap cheap cheap but won't sacrifice quality for cheap. so, I pass on all things W&W.

[@shannonscreations777]

I really struggle with Wet and Wild eyeshadow I thought it was just me !

[@Irina35mm]

Woah, same here. Everyone talked about them so I made the effort to order some stuff from the US, me being in my far-away european corner :)) (in the meantime they became readily available here aswell) But uhh... the eyeshadow formula is so... thick? and chalky and weird, just strange. And it doesn't really work to be used wet either. I really wanted to love it :'(

[@gimmeproof]

@@Irina35mm We got played. At least it was on something cheap. I don't trust people that push stuff that turns out to be crap - and I unfollow.

[@Irina35mm]

​@@gimmeproof heh, I think they were being honest though, I mean for the price it's kinda nice but gotta say, the teal-brown shade in the Comfort zone palette is my fave (and I have another one from Colour pop and one from Nyx...)

[@cmgg90]

Girl, I see you with that 14K sub count ;) The Wet n' Wild eyeshadows, yes, they are good for drugstore, but not excelent. However, I LOVE the highlighter formula. I can't remember if you have tried one before, but if you haven't, you totally should!!! I have Precious Petals, and it is everything I ever wanted and didn't know I needed xDD And as always, I love the memes

[@horrr0r]

Julia you're quickly becoming my favorite channel. I can tell I like a channel when they post a new video and I always rush to watch it right away instead of scrolling to see who else posted. And lately, when I see your video I click right away! I like you for a few reasons - one, you have the same type of hooded eyes like me (I'm also mixed race -Korean and Irish) and it's hard to find many makeup gurus who are Asian/white mixed and therefore hard to find makeup done on this eyelid type. Secondly, I love how you tend to actually pronounce foreign language names/words (I.e. names of eyeshadow shades) properly, it makes me feel like you're respectful of different cultures, types of people, etc... Also you're so mature for your age and in a very good way! And lastly, I love how intelligent you are. I can tell by some of the references that you make, your vocabulary, the way that you speak and think, etc... I can tell that you are on a higher intellectual level. I'm not sure what personality type you are, but as an INTP I relate to and respect that. Love you girl!

Please review JSC makeup! Would love to hear your thoughts on it

[@megansimplystitch]

I have a lot of Urban Decay that I love. Sadly, the Born to Run palette just did not work for me. I tried to make it work. But in the end, I returned it. I picked up the Naked Cherry instead & I'm enjoying it very much 💜💜💜 I love Becca & Ofra highlighters but they are so fragile. I need to find a way to re-press them. 💙💙💙

[@jeniferjoseph9200]

I completely agree with you about Stila glitters. I always get the applicator wrong and honestly the colors aren’t as nice as I would like. Don’t bother with the new shades- they have this ugly black base for literally no reason. I still love Born to Run and honestly think you got a bad batch but I still love you boo ❤️ Also I really wish you’d do a review of the Colourpop jellymuch shadows because they are BOMB and more people need to try them

[@dianaalexandra951]

I have the exact same problem with the Stila glitters. Thank God I am not the only one :) When I wear these, I usually mix in a bit of contact solution/micellar water and it makes it brand new.

[@geewizlana]

You'd love the satin/dewy bronzer in the becca khloe face palette

[@kerrysmith7598]

totally agree with you on wet and wild eyeshadows. I bought them because of the hype from big KZbinrs, I passed them.on to someone who is a makeup beginner because she didn't know where to start or what suited her, so.it was a good way for her to find her colours, before spending her money on good quality products

[@lucielow9192]

I use the lock it foundation by kat von d and at first I didn't like it either. I found out I was applying way too much though with that foundation I found out less is more and makes it easier to apply. But each to their own 👍🏽

[@jillayala8563]

I feel the same way about Wet N Wild shadows!!!! They're okay but not really good, especially if you want vibrant or just different looks.

[@42missflo]

Love your edit

[@cyliejeanjohnston2500]

Just rewatching old videos here, have you tried the loose highlighters from Wetnwild? They’re actually one of my absolute favourites.

[@mackenzieosmond189]

You're so pretty pls like I love you so much!!! you're my inspiration

[@MzKrystalPaul]

You are the cutest little human being, and I adore your chill yet funny AF videos. 😘 Edit: I personally enjoy my Born to Run. But I also haven't tried a million different formulas, and I am not skilled enough to blend ABH shadows. Yet.

[@stephaniewolf2134]

Thank you for sharing your opinions. Some people seem to forget that everyone is different and will have a different opinion and take it personally when other people disagree with them. A certain beauty guru years ago was raving about a wet n wild lipstick. So I was out and about and saw it and picked it up. It was awful! I don’t know if I got a bad lipstick, but it was dry and broke the first time I used it. I recently found the Subculture palette at Marshall’s. And I love it! Another palette I really enjoy that others seemed to dislike was the Urban Decay Backtalk palette. I love that one too. So these days I watch the videos and read the reviews, but i don’t take them so seriously and if I’m curious about something I check it out. 😊 Thank goodness for samples. ❤️

[@victoriap1665]

Love Subculture pallet, not sure about the Dream pallet yet. :)

[@itskrystle]

i would recommend peripera liquid eyeshadow ( believe its called sugar twinkle, it was originally a different name bc it was LE but brought it back ) in number 3, its the most similar to kitten karma of stilla. in general, korean eyeshadows for glitters are c r a z y good. peripera's is probably $10-ish.

[@seanian8986]

Born to Run is one of my faves but I agree it's like... weirdly sheer? It was the first high end palette I ever bought so when i tried Tarte and Anastasia my mind was BLOWN

[@christinisamathnerd]

If you are open to trying a foundation from a company that doesn't have deeper ranges. Idun Minerals from Sweden has the Norssken formula which is light/medium coverage that is hydrating and it has a range of pale shades with a variety of tones. It is the best foundation that I've ever found that was a perfect match to my skin tone. Just something you might want to give a try.

[@Icebloop]

Fabuloso video! Love Subculture Palette and I was even way late to that party. Who the eff wants to be a sycophant-yes person, anyway?? Be cool standing alone or step off. XO

[@pgechic01]

You can revitalize your stila liquid shadows by adding a few drops of saline.

[@takishasallbeautyzone]

I feel the same way about the BTR palette. Everytime I used it, I was underwhelmed. I like punchy pigmented shadows to. Which is why I also like the Subculture palette 😱. I agree wholeheartedly on the Becca highlighters. Nice, but not wow! I do like Becca blush though. I also like Elf blushes, but didn't like that Elf foundation. It was just weird on my skin. My unpopular opinion on KVD products is that I loved the saint and sinner palette. But now I can't even use the thing I'm so done with her racist self.

[@MegTheMaven]

Gang gang!!!!! We share the same opinion on most of the products you mentioned now I feel the need to try some Kylie liquid lips and lipgloss

[@ingridalecsiu7007]

I agree on the subculture palette. Is is hard to work with, but it really does look good if you get the hang of it. I wanted to buy the dream palette, but I was a bit hesitant because of the bold colours. Also, I really love the way you do your videos. You humor and the way you talk are just 2 reasons you are entertaining to watch. Keep going

[@emmkej9096]

I have very dry skin and even though Fenty is one of the rare foundations I can find my shade in I absolutely hate it. I never tried worst, and sadly nothing can help it, not even expensive moisturizers or mixing it with other foundations. Interestingly wet n wild is one of my all time favorites, I don`t how, it`s not supposed to work for my skin type, but it just does. Smells horrible that I agree with. You`re the only person I know of who dislikes Born to run. And I do too. It`s really lackluster. And yes you and Mikaela need to be on that Kylie PR list for sure! 🤞💗

[@kryslove518]

HARDCORE agree on the Becca highlighters. They are so fragile and I just don’t understand it. I think there better highlighters at from other high ends brands even some luxury brands.

[@utubeact]

even with my oil skin i didn’t like the fenty foundation. the very first day i wore the foundation & concealer, it looked perfect but the day after it emphasized all texture & just looked so gross. & on top of that it transfers like crazy!!

[@hollytheimpaler]

I bought Subculture when it was new and recently rebought it after I broke my original and the formulas are different. Cube and electric HAD to be wet to use it in the original and the mattes didn’t blend as well as they do now.

[@reinakobe]

I love subculture also I hit pan on all the shades

[@Mel-pb5xw]

IMO Stila should release all of the Glitter & Glows in the smaller/ mini size that come in the sets. It makes SO much more sense in terms of price point & how often most people actually wear glitter, & the smaller container means that there is less room for air in the packaging which means they also won’t dry out near as quickly. I bought a trio of the minis in Fall 2017 - a year & a half ago now - and aside from the one I’ve nearly finished & am thus scraping the sides of they’re still going strong. And while I know there are some who will always buy lots of shades regardless of price & thus bought most/ many of the full sized versions I’m guessing that far more people would be far more likely to try - and potentially fall in love with - the product as a smaller $8-10 version and then not only come back for more & ultimately purchase more in the long run, not to mention that with less drying out & wasted product/ money fewer will be frustrated & turned off - as you are - and will thus be more likely to remain loyal/ repeat purchasers of the product. So while the larger sizes may have netted Stila more cash initially I truly think that over time they’d end up with as much or more by selling the smaller sizes so it would ultimately be a win win for customers & company. But doing that would make far too much sense, right?🤷🏻‍♀️ PS I’m 90% with you on Subculture. It’s not my top fave & I do have major issues w/ one of the shimmers getting hardpan every time I use it, even if only w/ a brush, but I do still really enjoy it & totally don’t get the mass hatred. And while I came close several times I actually didn’t end up getting it until I lucked out & found an untouched one @ Marshall’s last summer for $25, & while I of course love that I got it for such a great deal part of me regrets not having picked it up sooner. Since there aren’t too many shimmer/ metallic options I’ve also really enjoyed pairing it w/ both ABH’s Mario & Nomad’s Berlin Underground palettes, both of which have a wonderfully complementary color story to Subculture but which are more plentiful on the shimmer/ metallic side of things. And yeah, re: Wet n Wild they definitely do have a handful of products that I think are really good & not just “good for the price”, but I do totally think that many are lured in by the price point & don’t then specify the difference between something being truly great quality that, aside from packaging, could hold its own next to a much pricier product, ie many of their highlighters, vs something that just performs decently well for the price. Re: the eyeshadows I will say that I think the ORIGINAL Comfort Zone palette was something special & well deserving of the hype, as were several of the OG trios, I do like the Creme Brûlée single - especially the OG version - and I have a select few three or six pan LE shadows from over the years that is put head to head with my best high end or indie shadows, but as for their current shadow/ palette line up I agree that it’s simply not that great. While many/ most brands at the drugstore have taken steps forward in terms of shadow quality I don’t think Wet n Wild has, & while the shadows I’ve tried in recent years may have a few pretty good shades per palette the palettes/ quads overall are pretty lackluster, esp considering that for a few dollars more you can get the quality of say Milani or - for twice the price hit twice the number of shades - a Colourpop palette.

I want you to tell me your opinion about the door backstage 003 amber eye palette. I recently buy it and love it but I can’t see anyone talk about it.

[@victoriaportelle9171]

I absolutely *love* the Subculture palette. The color scheme is amazing. I love Modern Renaissance & Soft Glam, but Subculture is the best palette ABH has ever made. I did just purchase Norvina Vol.1 though, and right now I'm in love with that, so 😁 Also, *THANK YOU* for loving Kylie matte liquid lipsticks. I love them too. I use Tatcha Camellia gold spun lip balm underneath them and they work like a dream. My fave shades are Dolce K and Love Bite. I also love her lip pencils. I agree they are similar to Colourpop in quality, but Kylie has shades Colourpop doesn't. Her Moon lip pencil is my go-to "my lips but better" lip pencil. Also, ELF Flawless Finish foundation is amazing. I'm waiting for ELF to expand the shade range of their other, "acne free" I think it's called, foundation. That stuff is BOMB but has no shade range.

[@Beautyjoy98]

If you keep stila glitters in their box they font dry out as fast. I took 2 of them out of their box an now 1/3 of the product is gone yet my 8 original ones are still in their boxes and act like they are new.

[@ilovejblol12]

I don't love Born to Run, either. I haven't owned it, and I know you can't completely judge a formula off of a swatch, however, you can see just by looking at it, and the swatches that the shimmers aren't very reflective.

Hi Julia! I'm 40+ from Sweden and I just follow you for the memes. I hardly use any makeup at all but I am a skin care fanatic (I have a degree in Chemistry so...). Anyway, just wanted to say hi and btw I used Fenty foundation in 120 which made me sad to realise that I was just two shades away from actual paper. Never liked it though, now I use a BB-cream when I want to be all fancy. EDIT I just realized I lied before. I don't just follow you for the memes: I like your style. It is classy with a hint of goth and I love it!
