With so many new complexion products that are on the market right now,
I think it can be really confusing as to what I recommend, what's worth it,
what you should go buy, what you should invest your money in.
So I want to put into one comprehensive video
what I think are the best complexion products that are sold right now at Sephora.
So before I share with you what I think is the best of the best for your complexion,
I want to share also that this video is in partnership with Sephora.
So big, big thank you to Sephora for continuing to partner with me

They have same day delivery options.

So so many ways to shop.
Let's get into what I think are the best products sold at Sephora
for the complexion specifically.
OK, let's dive in. Let's test out.
Let me show you on my skin in real time
what I think are the best complexion products at Sephora right now.
Quick little mini disclaimer, too, as we're going into this video,
if you're not new to my channel and you know what my
all my old school favorites are, don't be surprised to not see them
included in this video.
I really want to keep it more to more current, more newer releases
for the complexion that are at Sephora right now.
So I'm not going to be including like my Dior Backstage Face and Body.
I'm not going to be including Armani Luminous Silk, Nars
Creamy Radiant Concealer, like all my old school favorites.
You know, I still love I still love them.
I want to just keep this more current, more up to date
because the thing is, there are so many new releases
as far as complexion products goes and makeup in general.
Let's face it, there's always 50 new blushes launched every single week.
There's always new this and new that.
But complexion products, there are a lot of new complexion products
that are at Sephora right now.
So I wanted to give you my most up to date thoughts
on what I think is the best as far as complexion goes at Sephora.
So with that disclaimer, let's get into the first product
I want to call out that I have just been loving.
This is from KSKIN.
KSKIN is a newer female owned, more indie brand sold at Sephora.
I love their lip balms.
They have incredible tinted lip balms, but we're not going to talk about lip balms today.
But this is another product that I've been thoroughly enjoying.
I think I have like maybe a few pumps left.
I'm almost out.
It's the KSKIN Sun Care Isle Glow Face Lotion SPF 45.
The way I like to use this is like a glowy but not glittery primer
that gives me my sun protection.
So if you're not new to my channel, you know that I love the super goop glow screen
and I use that as a glowy primer liquid illuminator under foundation.
It's just a phenomenal product.
This has been its rival ever since.
And dare I say, it's almost bumping it.
It's almost bumping into the top spot as far as like that kind of product goes.
And I've been loving it is a beautiful product.
It works really well for my more combination oily skin.
It leaves a beautiful finish on your skin.
That's not overly glittery or overly metallic.
So I really, really enjoy it.
I recommend it to a lot of people who want somewhat of a liquid
illuminator that's not glittery and also on the added sun protection.
And also this does give you some nice moisturization to your skin as well.
I like to use it just right on top of one of my morning serums.
Like I use a lot of like hyaluronic acid serums in the morning.
I use a lot like vitamin C serums in the morning, peptide serums.
I use serums in the morning.
And I just lay this right on top and it mixes beautifully on top of that.
And it wears really, really well on your makeup.
And I find that once you let it dry down, because you do want to give this,
I'd say a good two minutes to dry down.
If you have the time, you can maybe knock out your eye makeup.
You could knock out your brows while this is drying down.
It's worth letting it dry down because once it does dry down properly,
it gives a really nice tacky, grippy stickiness, much like a primer,
but without like that thicker primer type feeling.
So I've been loving this.
I think this is such a great complexion product, like a priming product
for underneath your foundations that is newer at Sephora.
Really great release.
And the bonus SPF 45.
So, you know, you're getting your sun protection.
You know, your skin's going to be fully protected.
It's going to look beautiful under your makeup.
And it's not going to cause your makeup to separate, to not wear as long.
In fact, in my opinion, in my experience using it,
it only enhances the wear time of the foundation.
Because like I said, if you let it actually dry down,
it leaves you with a more sticky, tacky, grippy feeling.
So absolutely love that from KSKIN.
And the next primer that I want to call out that I think is just top notch.
This is such a surprise hit for me.
And if you're again, I always say this, but if you're not new to my channel
and if you are new to my channel, let me just say really quick.
Thank you for joining me.
And I'm so happy to have you.
I'm so grateful to have you.
Hopefully you stick around.
But if you're not new, you already know that I'm not the biggest primer person.
And I'm going to spare you the details on the whys and all that stuff,
because I'm sure you've heard it a million times if you're not new.
But this primer from Cali Ray, it's the So Blown primer.
This is a clean, blurring primer with collagen peptides.
This was recommended to me from a Sephora employee.
And I've yet to run into them again to thank them for this recommendation.
So if you're watching, thank you again,
because I've been loving this and you were so right.
This is like a smoothing primer times 20.
It is so blurring and so smoothing.
I put way too much on just a little FYI.
Less is more.
You do not need a lot of this primer.
But look at that.
Do you see how that just blurred any kind of texture,
any kind of fine lines on my forehead?
Do you see that?
That is really impressive.
And I'm not normally that impressed with primers.
I've been trying a lot of them recently,
and this one still has been at the very top of my list.
It leaves it with such a smooth, ultra blurring finish.
I mean, my skin looks like I put, to me, this looks like I put on bare skin
the Makeup Forever HG, the OG, completely translucent,
looks like a white powder, but it's not, it's totally translucent.
It looks like I just put that on my skin
because the way it mattifies and blurs is amazing.
Now, I will say, even if you have drier skin,
this does have collagen peptides in it,
and it does actually have some level of moisture to it.
So it's not going to feel overly drying on your skin.
It's a really, really well-rounded primer that I think almost anybody could use.
I don't really think there's anyone that couldn't use this primer, to be honest.
It's just going to be a matter of,
do you need that much of a blurring finish to your skin?
And if the answer is yes, or if you just want some extra smoothness,
then I think you would love this primer.
This is just such a great release and such a top-notch primer.
And it says a lot because I'm not a primer.
I'm just not a primer girly.
I really am not.
But that is undeniable.
Now, I want to call out quickly that I am still in the middle of testing
this Easy Blur Primer from Huda Beauty, and I've tried it for at least,
I don't know, seven days at this point, eight days at this point.
And this one is still, it's still beating it.
So I do like it. It's nice.
However, it's not my ultimate favorite new primer at Sephora right now.
So that's why I want to not mention it.
But it is worth talking about. It is nice.
I'm still getting familiar with it.
But this is still absolutely like, no pun intended, but it's blowing it away.
It's just a great primer.
Now, we have a lot of skin tints I want to talk about.
There's so many great skin tints that are sold at Sephora right now.
And actually, let's let's actually start this list with the Sephora brand
Reveal the Real Soft Radiant Skin Tint.
This is Sephora's in-house brand.
Very affordable. Very, very inexpensive.
Amazing, lightweight, very breathable formula.
Very buildable as well.
The shade range is pretty good.
They even have an olive undertone, which is fantastic.
Thank gosh.
I mean, it's so hard to find olive undertone in anything.
And they really nail the undertone with this one.
This is the shade 170O Light, and this matches me almost perfectly.
So let me actually apply this. I'm going to shake it up first.
And what I find is in the sea of all the skin tints
that are out everywhere and at Sephora,
this is just a really simple and a great way formula that's easy to work with.
So I feel like anybody could use this with your oily, dry combo.
I'm just going to dot this on.
Combo, normal, whatever normal is, but, you know, normal, quote unquote.
Anybody could use this and it's going to be really easy to work with
and just really nice on the skin.
And I find that it just is so simple to work with.
And so, so nice.
So you rub it in with your fingertips.
I'm just going to apply a generous amount with my finger
and then I'll blend it on with my brush.
So blending it out with my N17, it's going to look way more matte
on top of the So Blown primer.
So let me actually show you, too, what it looks like on top of a regular,
more like a regular moisturized, finished skin.
So you can really alter the appearance.
And it just goes to show you how blurring and how mattifying
this CaliRate primer really is, because normally the finish of this tinted
moisturizer is like a nice satin leaning, slightly glowy,
but not over the top glowy. And they just did a great job.
I just have no complaints.
It really is a nice, breathable, long wearing tinted moisturizer
that just looks great on.
And it's not one that's like melting off your skin halfway through the day.
It doesn't separate.
I find that I could wear this on top of any of my sunscreens that I love.
This does not have SPF in it, just an FYI, which is totally fine.
And it is it does actually say I keep forgetting this.
It does say it's a 12 hour wear.
And that makes sense because it really does wear really, really well.
I've worn this to work many, many times and for like a long, full days.
And it just looks really beautiful and flawless,
even hours and hours into the day.
And it's also been extremely hot in L.A.
So it's held up really, really well.
If you do have oily skin and you're wearing a skin tint
as your main form of coverage, make sure you're setting it
with some powder to lock it into place.
If you're more dry, set it in the T-zone
or wherever you really need it to set into place and you're good to go.
So that is the Sephora Reveal the Real Soft Radiant Skin Tint
in the shade 170 Olive.
So pretty, so easy to blend on.
It just looks like beautiful, flawless, natural skin.
Really, really natural.
Really, really pretty while offering some nice coverage that's buildable.
So such a hit.
Sephora did such a good job with that formula.
And again, it's like incredibly inexpensive.
So if you're not wanting to spend a ton of money on a skin tint
because I do have some expensive ones,
I'm going to show you that are really, really nice.
Get that Sephora one and you'll be really, really happy with it.
I'm going to remove both sides because we have much more to try on.
So the next one is from Almay Colle.
This was one that I tested and picked up during my huge skin tint haul
a few months back.
I tested every single skin tint that is sold at Sephora,
and this was quickly became one of my favorites
that I use on a regular basis throughout the week.
I've been loving this one.
This is a female owned, black owned brand, and they cater more to
more melanin rich skin tone.
So if you check the shade range, either online or in store,
they're not going to have many shades effects.
In fact, this is the lightest shade that they carry, which is medium two,
which is great because there's not many brands that carry a range
specifically dedicated to more melanin rich skin tone.
So it's good that they're filling a huge gap in the market
and they have just amazing products.
And this formula is just fantastic.
So if you are my skin tone and deeper, but if you're my skin tone or lighter,
you're not going to find one that is going to match you.
So just a little quick FYI and disclaimer.
So the shade medium two,
this actually has a really beautiful olive undertone to it as well.
So it just blends really nice to my skin.
It feels amazing.
I'm going to swipe it on first.
And this gives me a really beautiful amount of hydration
while also giving me just even glowy skin.
It's not patchy.
I can wear powder blushes on top of it.
I can wear powder bronzers and the product,
even though it settles on the skin, still in a glowy way,
it doesn't eat up those powder pigmented products in an unflattering way
and it doesn't break down those products.
So it's very universal with what I could put on top of it.
And the way it blends in is like butter.
It's one of the only skin tints that I can easily just blend in
wholeheartedly with my fingertips and with ease.
There's no streakiness.
There's no patchiness.
And even though I am an oily girl,
I can easily wear this without being overly shiny.
I just set it with a little bit of translucent powder, of course,
because I set all my products with some form of powder.
Just some take more than others.
But I could find that if I set my T-zone,
I can leave all of this outside part of my skin bare.
And it just looks beautiful and glowy and just like healthy,
hydrated skin with a nice amount of coverage.
So that is the Omekole.
Such a great product, such a successful launch for them.
And I hope they expand to more products.
I hope they make powders soon.
I would love to see them make some powder
bronzers or some like contours and stuff like that.
I know they have stick foundations.
I've been wanting to try as well.
I just haven't been able to get one yet.
But really cool brand and just a really great complexion product.
So that's been one of my favorites for sure.
Look how pretty that is.
Now let's move on to definitely a lot more pricey.
And of course, you know, it's hourglass.
So everything they launch is usually a lot higher of a price tag.
This is like a luxury price tag with anything you get at hourglass.
But I will say I love this formula.
It is so beautiful.
It's so easy to work with similar talking points as the Omekole
where it just leaves you with healthy, glowy and hydrated skin.
Very easy to blend into your skin, blend in and melt into your skin
like butter, just exactly like the same kind of talking points,
like I mentioned, but a much higher price tag.
I can't remember how many shades they have total to choose from.
This is the shade 10.
I am going to shake this one up.
This one's a little bit more runny and consistency
than the Omekole or the Sephora one.
So shake it up.
I love the squeezy tube packaging.
I find this is just so convenient for me when I'm on the go putting my makeup on.
So shade 10 is a really good match for me.
And I'm going to apply this one just with my N17 and swipe it on.
So this gives a really beautiful amount of light coverage
that is easily buildable.
And again, even if you have more oily skin like me,
you could still get away with wearing this.
However, you are going to have to powder down a touch throughout the day
because you will end up looking pretty shiny
because this is a hydrating skin tint.
This gives you lots of hydration.
I will say that I think this is definitely more suitable
for dry skin types, normal combination,
dry leaning or severely dry skin.
I think this is a really, really great formula for those type of skins.
But even if you are oily like me and you just love the way this feels,
don't be afraid to wear it and just make sure you balance it out
with maybe a little less moisturizer underneath,
a little less serum underneath,
and make sure you balance it by setting it with a good, more mattifying powder.
If you do those things and you kind of adjust your before and your after
and you sandwich it with like the right products,
then you could totally make it work for your oily skin.
Just like I have been.
And I love the way it looks.
I love the finish.
The wear time is pretty decent
for being more on like the glowy, hydrating side.
I could still get away with wearing this all day
and not looking like my skin is sliding down my face.
So I really, really like this.
I think this is a beautiful formula that takes little to no effort to blend in.
And the finish, once it dries down, it will dry down a little bit.
But the finish you're left with is a really beautiful glow.
It's not like sweaty glow.
It's like natural glow, not like over the top, drippy, sweaty glow.
Really nice product.
Definitely a higher price point.
But if you're wanting to treat yourself to a great formula,
then you will love this one.
I have one more skin tint that I have to share with you.
And I have another one that I want to just talk about briefly
because I'm not quite sure what the future holds for this next skin tint.
So I'm not going to apply it on, but I want to call it out really quickly
in case you're wondering at home why I'm not mentioning this one.
The reason why I'm not mentioning
the Cali Ray Free Dreaming Skin Wellness Diffusing Tint
is because I'm not sure if it's being discontinued or not.
The stock is really low.
I cannot find it in store at Sephora anymore,
and they've been on sale for like a really long time now.
So I'm not sure what the future holds.
So I'm not going to mention it in case it does get discontinued
or in case they're reformulating it or something changes.
And then you're left not being able to pick this one up.
But just know I still love it.
I'm still using it.
Just not sure what the future holds for the Cali Ray Skin Tint.
Hopefully, hopefully it holds a positive future
because I love the product.
I think it's an amazing formula.
So instead, I want to share one that has quickly become an absolute favorite.
This is the CL Tint and Protect SPF 50 Tinted Serum.
I have the shade 05 Medium.
It's a mineral SPF.
It's non-comedogenic.
Now, this one, you have to really shake up well, I've found.
And when I don't shake it up well, if I'm being lazy and I just forget
and I try to slap it on my skin, just don't do that.
Make sure you shake it up.
It's more liquidy.
It's more loose, a lot more loose in texture
and consistency than the Hourglass Veil.
So shake it up.
Give it a good, good shake.
But I do love the fact that this has a dropper.
I think this is just so convenient, too.
I just I love it.
I'm just squirting some out on my palette ahead of me.
And let me actually grab the BK Beauty 106 Brush
and I'm going to just dip into the product and buff it on.
Now, this one has a deceiving amount of coverage.
This has quite a bit of coverage for being a skin tint.
And I think that's what I love most about it is it goes on buttery and easy
and it melts into your skin with like little to no effort.
I could put this on with my eyes closed and know that's going to blend in
and look seamless and beautiful.
Now, the shade that I have is just a hair or two too dark for me,
but I make it work and it definitely matches like the rest of my body.
Just in comparison to the rest of my pale face, it looks a little bit dark,
but it is a beautiful match.
Still, once I blend it in and I kind of combat it and cocktail it
with a lighter concealer, that's perfect.
But the reason why I do love this the most, I have to say,
is because it feels so juicy and so glowy and just so hydrating and nice
while still giving me really flawless, even coverage without any patchiness.
There's no inconsistencies with the formula.
It is smoothing and just beautiful.
I get compliments when I wear this formula.
It looks so good on and it wears really, really well, even in the heat,
even in like this hot summer that we've had.
If you're watching this in real time, we've had a really, really hot summer
and I've been wearing this all throughout summer
and it just wears really nice, even in the high heat.
So such a beautiful skin tint, such a great, great formula
that I cannot put down from CL.
If you're not new, you already know that I love pretty much everything
that I've tried from CL that they've launched.
I've been a huge fan of.
So one more time, let's give it up to the CL Tint and Protect SPF 50.
Such a beautiful skin tint with a really high SPF,
which I really appreciate and really enjoy.
OK, we're going to move on to foundations
because that wraps up my current favorite skin tints
that I think are the best at Sephora right now.
Let's move on to some foundations.
These are all so beautiful that I'm about to show you.
The first one I want to share with you is the Fenty Beauty Soft Lit Foundation.
I wear the shade 230.
This is also one that you want to shake up.
This is such a stunning, glowy foundation that gives beautiful coverage.
It is so easy to work with, so easy to blend on the skin
and just a really fantastic launch from Fenty.
I wasn't the biggest fan of the original foundation
that they launched, the more matte one.
And I'm a matte girly.
I love matte stuff.
But that one just never, it just wasn't as flattering on my skin
as I hope it to be.
This is like so beautiful, so flattering on the skin.
It is incredibly glowy, so just keep that in mind.
So once again, if you have skin like mine that is more oily,
you're going to want to adjust your skincare routine underneath
to be a little less hydrating, a little less moisturizing.
You can use the exact same products that you've been loving and using.
Just maybe cut down the percentage of each one that you're using
so you're not left with a soupy mess under this foundation.
That's like my best advice.
So just adjust a bit to balance out the fact
that this is a very glowy foundation.
But this gives you a gorgeous medium coverage that just blends in.
I hate to keep saying this, but it blends in like butter.
It's just the best way I can describe it.
It's like melted, glowy, moisturizing butter in a foundation.
Like, look at that.
Absolutely stunning.
They did such a great job with this foundation.
It really is so gorgeous on.
It just gives you juicy, perfect, flawless skin with incredible moisture.
It feels incredibly comfortable and just it looks gorgeous.
It just looks gorgeous.
End of story.
It's such a great foundation formula that they came out with.
I've been absolutely loving this one since they came out with it.
You can set it so it's not so glowy.
I usually do like a light dusting of powder kind of all over,
leaving this area nice and glowy because I love the glow right here along my jawline.
I think it's so pretty there.
But as I put this in my T-Zone, especially around my nose,
I definitely balance it out with a little extra powder that's more mattifying
to give it that balance and to make it actually stay put on my more oily skin.
And my T-Zone is the most oily part of my face.
But, you know, generally speaking, my entire face gets oily.
But I don't mind the glow in other places, just the T-Zone.
I usually balance it out with a little extra powder.
But such a great formula.
So if you have more dry skin and you want a gorgeous medium coverage,
you have to check out the Soft Lit Foundation from Fenty.
It is just a showstopper.
And the shade range is impeccable.
They have a huge shade range to choose from.
And 230 just looks spot on for me in this formula.
Absolutely beautiful.
Love this one.
OK, the next one I want to mention, this may on camera,
you might be thinking this is an old formula.
It's been out for ages, like literally a decade.
This foundation has been out.
However, they did reformulate it.
And this is the original but reformulated version of the classic
iconic It Cosmetics CC cream.
So, you know, this is a confusing product.
And I think it could be misleading to myself included.
But many people, as you think it's a tinted moisturizer
because it's marketed more like a tinted moisturizer.
It's got the claims, the similar claims as a tinted moisturizer.
It's even called a CC cream.
OK, it's not even called really a foundation.
It's called a color correcting full coverage cream.
It's anti-aging.
It's a hydrating serum plus broad spectrum SPF 50.
Everything but the full coverage cream part of the call outs screams
I'm a lightweight tinted moisturizer, but don't be fooled.
It is a full coverage product.
Now, I did actually review this and I put this in my skin
tint haul that I posted a few months ago
because the claims and the calls are so similar to a skin tint
and a tinted moisturizer.
So now that we got that out of the way.
OK, just like with all the other products have SPF in it,
I still always recommend and I strongly encourage you to wear your SPF
under your makeup, regardless of what the foundation has in the formula.
You still want to make sure you have ample protection underneath,
which is why I love products like this to wear underneath foundation
because it gives a beautiful glow and a tackiness,
but also gives that extra protection because you're not going to load
a full coverage CC cream onto your ears all the way down your neck.
You can if you want, but you're not always going to want that feeling.
And in order to get the actual sun protection that is in this,
you would have to put on layers and layers and just way too much,
in my opinion, to feel comfortable wearing it.
So with that said, let's try on and let me show you
what the newly reformulated IT Cosmetic CC Cream looks like on.
And I also I love the matte one.
The matte one is one of my like truly one of my favorite complexion
products on earth.
It's an incredible formula for more oily skin.
But this one is just it's the OG, but even better than it was before.
I'm not sure what they did to change it, but it is new and reformulated.
And it's just a go. OK, I really what can I tell you?
It's just the goat.
A little bit goes a long way.
I wear the shade medium, just a little FYI.
And let's apply it with quite possibly my last clean
N17 for this video and swipe it on.
So this is a much thicker consistency.
This consistency is it's going to feel more like a full coverage
foundation going on top of your skin.
So you can really control how much you put on and control
how much coverage you get if you just do a small drop
and you start in the center of your face and you work your way out.
You'll get a really natural look and finish to this foundation
and not finish the finish is natural no matter what.
Let me just say that you'll get a natural amount of coverage.
If you start small and you start in the center of your face
where we typically have more redness and discoloration around our nose,
our eyes, you know, all those areas.
So just a little tip.
And if you want it to be a full coverage, because Warren has a full coverage,
it is a absolutely stunning foundation.
You definitely can and just apply two pumps, three pumps,
whatever you prefer, and it's going to look flawless no matter what.
What I do love about this foundation is how it blends into your skin,
how it melts into your skin, but how it leaves it with a satin
finish that is just like it's like filtered, gorgeous,
perfect skin in a tube.
It is just such a great formula.
So, so classic.
It's one of those formulas and one of those brands, too.
Like IT Cosmetics is pretty much a, you know, they're a very trusted
brand at this point, and their formulas are really fantastic.
All the IT CC creams are just a favorite of mine.
I just love these products.
I will always continue to buy these and to recommend them
because they're just every time I recommend them, people love them.
Every time I put it on, I love the way my skin looks.
Every time I wear it, I'm shocked how beautiful it looks all throughout the day.
So it just never disappoints me.
And I just love that they have kind of revamped it and brought it back.
And it's just you have to try it.
You really do have to try all to say if you want a flawless full coverage
with also like anti-aging hydrating benefits and just all those great things
and you want a really solid, amazing formula that is easy to use.
This is just always at the top of my list of recommendations.
So IT Cosmetics, oh, gee, she's a classic.
She's reformulated and she's absolutely worth checking out.
The CC cream is just amazing.
OK, moving on to a new release.
Now, I almost didn't put this in the video
because the shade range to choose from is not good
and they need to launch more shades.
ASAP, please Dior, because this foundation formula is so beautiful.
It looks so good on my skin.
It just melts in so, so beautifully.
I bought this and I really was not expecting to be that obsessed with it.
I really wasn't at all.
To be honest, I'm not the hugest stick foundation fan.
I love my Fenty Ease Drop Skin Tint Blur Stick.
I always forget the entire name, but I love that product so much.
I've since run out of most of the shades I had in that.
And I thought that was like the exception.
I really liked that one the most out of all the stick foundations out there.
So I didn't think I was going to be that wowed by this.
But holy moly, this is such a gorgeous stick foundation.
It is full coverage.
Let me show you what this looks like on.
It's going to look a little dark on my skin.
Just a little disclaimer, but I blend it in.
I make it work.
It's the shade 3N.
I normally wear 2.5N in all the Dior foundations like across all their formulas.
But when I swatch the 2.5N in store, it looked really pale.
So I opted to go a step up for the 3N.
Now, this goes on so juicy
and buttery and balmy and quite literally takes,
I don't know, all of two seconds to blend into my skin.
I'm just going to blend it in.
I need a clean brush.
This one is decently clean with my N17.
You just kind of swipe it back and forth a few times.
And literally it does all the work for you.
Like she's blended.
She's in, she's on my skin, and that's it.
Minimal effort goes on so creamy, so rich.
So one of the things I wanted to call out specifically about this stick foundation
and I think what makes this the most unique, in my opinion,
out of all the stick foundations that are on the market,
I think this one is quite possibly the best one that I've ever tried
for dry skin types.
I'm oily. I make it work.
I balance it with a little less skin prep and a little more powder
to combat the shine that I get throughout the day.
But for dry skin, I feel like this would be the best,
quite literally the best stick foundation for dry skin.
Because the thing about dry skin and stick cream foundations,
they tend to look ultra heavy on drier skin types
and they tend to bring out drier patches or dry, dry texture
or even just texture in general on dry skin.
They tend to clean to those areas and almost act like a magnifying glass,
which is why I never recommend stick foundations for drier skin types
because of those reasons.
They tend to bring it out and magnify texture and dry patches
more than any other foundation, especially more than like a liquid.
Liquid just kind of glide on top more seamlessly, whereas stick,
they kind of grip on, they get stuck to it.
Whereas this one, it has some hydrating ingredients
and it has great moisture levels to it.
And that's why the lens and glides onto the skin with such ease
because it's so emollient and so moisturizing,
all while offering a full medium coverage.
Like if you just swipe once or twice, you're going to get a full coverage with it.
So it really depends on how much pressure you apply
when you're applying this to your skin
and how many times you go over your skin with it,
because you can go from medium to a full coverage
within a second, like a second.
I can't believe I just snapped my fingers.
It's like I can snap my fingers successfully once a year.
And that was like the one time.
But anyway, great product, really great release from Dior.
I urge them to release more shades as soon as possible
because this is such a great formula and I want everyone to be able
to try this on and wear it.
So it almost didn't make this cut because of that.
But this finish, I just had to include it just for your knowledge
because it is just so, so beautiful on.
This does contain fragrance, just an FYI, I have to call that out.
It does smell perfumey when it hits your skin.
However, once it sits on your skin for a couple of seconds,
the fragrance dissipates, you don't smell it anymore.
But when you open it and you get a whiff, personally,
I think it smells absolutely beautiful and delicious on.
But it is fragrance for sure.
Now, I'm going to leave this on because that's one of the last foundations
I'm going to try on for this video.
And on this side specifically, I'm going to test out and show you
what the new Huda Beauty Easy Blur Foundation looks like on.
I did a full video on this, trying it out first impression wise.
And since that video was filmed, that was about nine days ago.
At this point, this is going to be my tenth time putting this on.
And I love this foundation.
I think it is so beautiful.
Now, first impression was
I thought it was going to be a little bit more matte than it actually is.
But this foundation does leave you a bit glowy.
So if you have oily skin, just know with the Easy Blur Foundation,
you are going to need to mattify it and you're going to need to dry it down
somewhat with some setting powder, which I do anyway.
So with that said, if you have more dry skin, combination dry,
even very dry skin, I feel like this is going to be a beautiful foundation for you.
It is very blurring.
It is very easy to work with, in my opinion.
It is a beautiful streak free formula that just gives you a really even
amount of coverage.
You don't have to work hard to blend into your skin.
It kind of just does all the work for you.
It's very long wearing.
And for being a little bit, a teeny bit more on the thick side.
And I say only a teeny bit.
It really is only a teeny bit on the thick side.
It has a great amount of hydration to it.
It also has niacinamide in it, which is probably why it feels hydrating on your skin.
I find this looks so beautiful.
I don't find that I have to wear it with the Easy Blur Primer.
If anything, I just stick to the Cali Erase So Blown Primer
because I just I love that formula more than the Huda Beauty one.
The Huda Beauty one is nice.
It really is.
But I don't think that you need to do the entire combination
to get it to look blurring.
I think it looks blurring even on its own without primer.
So I'm going to tap it in with the 109.
The shade that I've been wearing is the shade 230N Macaroon.
And I think this is like the best foundation that Huda Beauty has ever launched.
I think she just did an amazing, amazing job of this formula.
I think it's universal for anyone.
I think that anyone's going to like it, like I mentioned.
And again, even if you have really, really oily skin,
just make sure you're setting into place and you're going to love
the way this looks on.
It's just absolutely a beautiful, easy to work with, flawless foundation.
So I'm going to leave out the Dior side, even though it's a bit
is a bit darker.
So let me actually cocktail it a bit, a little bit more.
Now, people are calling out the components and the packaging,
and it is what it is.
You know, Huda Beauty is not out there claiming to be Charlotte Tilbury
and she's not claiming to be YSL or Dior.
So leave her alone with the packaging.
The packaging is totally fine.
It's clean.
It's simple. It's to the point.
It doesn't need to be bedazzled and in rhinestones.
It's totally fine.
And, you know, Huda doesn't have crazy outlandish price tags with her products.
So, you know, you get what you pay for a lot of time with packaging.
The packaging is really over the top and really elaborate
and gold or rose gold or this and that.
You're just know that you're as a consumer, you're paying for that.
So, you know, what really matters the most is the formula, the way it works
and how many people it's going to work for and all those things.
The formula is what matters the most.
You're buying makeup to put on your skin, not to look at on your vanity.
It's a bonus when it looks beautiful.
But just know you pay extra for those things, you know.
So I don't know why people are picking on the packaging so much.
I think it's just fine.
It's sleek. It's simple.
From a makeup artist point of view, if I were to put this in my pro kit,
it would be like easy, clean.
It's not going to leak. It's not glass.
It's not a heavy bottle.
It's really sleek and easy to travel with.
So I like it.
I say give her a break.
Packaging is fine.
And more importantly, like I mentioned, it's all about the finish.
So the finish is just beautiful with the Huda.
It's very blurry.
It's very soft focused.
And like I said, it does.
It is surprisingly glowy.
That's just something I wasn't expecting.
So just know that and have that be your expectation when you go into it.
It's not like a matte, full coverage foundation.
You can make a full coverage by building it.
But it's like a full medium coverage with a soft, glowy finish.
So beautiful.
I think it's a successful launch.
I think it's absolutely worth checking out
and it'll give you a really flawless look to your complexion.
OK, now that the foundations are on, we're going to pop two concealers
and I'm going to share with you the top three concealers that I cannot put down
to use on myself.
And I've actually even incorporated
most of these into my pro makeup kit to use on my clients.
The first one I want to talk about really quickly is, you know,
she's not the newest now.
She's definitely well over a year old.
This is the Natasha Denona High Glam Concealer.
This has quickly become one of my all time favorite concealers.
I cannot put down.
I use this so much in my pro kit on clients.
You're going to be shocked to hear this, but it is it's slowly
it's slowly replacing all of my NARS Creamy Radiant Concealers.
And I have used that formula for quite literally almost my entire career.
That's how long we've been friends.
That's how long we've been BFS.
But this one is just undeniably amazing.
It is high performance.
It's high coverage, but it feels lightweight and it just looks
incredibly flawless on skin.
So it is just and they have a great, great shade range
of amazing undertones to choose from.
And I think that's what got me the most is they have peach undertones.
They have gold and they have all of they have everything.
They even have color correctors in this formula, which I have yet to pick up.
But I I'm kind of waiting to run out of my Huda Beauty color correctors
to incorporate those into my kit, because the amount of makeup
that I buy for my kit that I don't end up using enough of is just ridiculous.
So I'm trying to wait and run out, then I'll pick up those
and I'll let you know my thoughts are on those.
But if you've tried those color correctors
from the Natasha Denona High Glam Concealer Collection,
leave those in the comments if you have thoughts.
And if you recommend them, please let me know.
So this one I'm going to swatch on my hand.
I'm going to show you the other two on my under eyes instead,
because I feel like I've used this so many times in tutorials at this point
that I just want to show you what the coverage is.
Let's just go straight across the L.A.
That is a full coverage concealer.
My friends, full, full coverage.
Now, the reason why I think this is such a slam dunk and just such
an incredible top formula at Sephora right now is because I can make this work
on all skin types, dry, oily, textured, crepey, you name it.
Whatever skin that gets sat in my chair, I can use this formula on them.
And I'm always, always thrilled with the outcome and the way it looks
and also the way it wears on my client's skin throughout the day.
Because usually when I do makeup,
it's for someone who has a 10, 12, 14 hour day ahead of them.
And this gets them through that with all A's, basically.
So I'm going to take my N16 brush and I'm going to tap this in really quick
to show you how it blends out and the level of coverage
you still end up keeping once it's blended out.
So you'll see my the blue of the tattoo coming through a little bit.
That's normal, because in order to actually cover that fully,
you would need to color correct with the orange or red color corrector.
But on its own, that gives such amazing coverage,
full coverage while feeling pretty lightweight,
while not feeling overly heavy on the skin
and while giving you a really nice smoothing effect, too.
So such a showstopper concealer.
Highly recommend the Natasha Denona.
If you have not tried this one, this to me is one of the top
three best concealers at Sephora right now.
The next one I want to share with you is a new favorite,
and this is the Yummy Skin Lift and Flex Concealer for eyes and face.
I use this to clean up underneath my brows.
I use this to highlight a little bit underneath my contour.
I have yet to put this in my makeup kit
because I'm still getting used to it a little bit more,
but I've been loving it on myself.
So it's one of my daily go tos that's on rotation for me
to conceal my under eyes.
So I'm going to put this one on under my eyes and let's do it on this side.
The shade that I wear is number six,
and if I had to complain about anything in regards to this concealer
is the only thing that bothers me that I could complain about
is the shade range runs heavily on the warm side.
So if you have more cool undertone or if you're like me,
you prefer more cool toned concealer, meaning it's more cool,
at least leaning neutral or at least neutral.
These are all leaning very, very warm on my in my opinion.
So that's my only my only hiccup.
If I had to pick something out that I don't like about this concealer,
it's just the shade range leans very, very warm.
So even though the shade six is marketed as a neutral undertone,
it shows up very, very yellow on my complexion.
I take my N16 and blend it out.
But the reason why I like this formula is because the coverage is gorgeous.
The coverage is very, very beautiful.
It's like a nice full coverage.
It doesn't look heavy,
but it really does give a really nice smoothing effect to the skin.
So it's very smoothing.
I don't know about the whole lip thing.
I think you make any concealer, give you a lifted look just based on placement.
So the lip thing, I'm not so sure about.
But the formula is quite beautiful.
The coverage is gorgeous and it wears an exceptionally long time
without creasing.
Now, I always still set my concealers no matter what the claims are.
I always set with some form of powder because no matter what,
even if it's supposed to be a creaseless concealer,
they always crease if I don't set them.
But look at that.
It's just so flawless.
It is so smoothing and easy to blend in, easy to work with.
And it just looks fantastic under my eyes.
I just love, love this formula.
I just wish they would launch some more cool or neutral shades.
But maybe they will eventually.
But amazing formula.
Such a great component, too.
I love how little and compact this is.
I could fit this in like the tiniest of tiny makeup bags on the go
and it just fits perfectly because it's not overly bulky.
So amazing formula.
Highly recommend this one from Danessa Myricks.
It is just such a good one.
So that is a Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Lift and Flex Concealer in the shade 6.
The next one you might not be surprised about.
I've had this one for a while.
It's still considered somewhat new, in my opinion.
It's the Tower 28 Swipe Concealer.
This is a serum based concealer.
This feels incredibly hydrating on my skin.
And because of that, this is a fantastic formula for under the eyes.
I wear the shade K-Town,
but I actually feel like I need a lighter shade than K-Town.
But either way, I make this one work.
And the feeling of this concealer under the eyes is just so nice.
You can actually, quite literally, not being dramatic,
but you can feel the hydration hit your skin.
So if you have really dry under eyes and you're prepping your skin properly
and your under eyes are still feeling dry when you put concealer on top,
I really urge you to try this formula.
Whenever you run out of the formula that you're using,
if you have dry under eyes that are dehydrated, get this one next.
So I'm going to tap this in with my N14 brush.
Coverage is full on.
It has a beautiful, seamless, full coverage to it that just doesn't feel heavy.
It wears beautifully, does increase, feels amazing and hydrating under the eyes.
And so again, if you have either mature dry under eyes
or just dry under eyes in general,
crepey under eyes, crepey skin under your eyes,
this is going to be smoothing, hydrating,
and it's going to give you a beautiful amount of coverage that doesn't feel heavy.
So I absolutely love this one.
I highly recommend this one.
And again, between these three concealers at Sephora,
these are my absolute favorites.
And you will not be disappointed if you pick up either one of these,
especially if you're using them under the eyes.
They are just high performance, amazing quality, amazing finish.
You'll be thrilled with them.
I promise you that.
Now, not really included in this video,
but I want to put this on anyway
because I want to warm up my complexion before I set it with powder.
This is a complexion product technically.
However, I'm not gonna get into bronzers.
I'm not gonna get into powder, blushes, cream blushes,
or anything like that in this video.
I want to keep it more strictly to complexion products
that give you coverage and are for like those kinds of needs.
So not like colored cosmetics kind of complexion products,
if that makes sense.
But I want to put this on really quickly to just warm up my complexion
because I basically blanked out all depth and all anything that's going on.
I'm one dimensional right now, as they say.
So let's add the Cali Ray Sun Drip Skin Boosting Peptide Serum Bronzer.
I'm gonna just quickly put one and a half pumps on the top of my hand.
I'm gonna dip in and swirl into my brush with my N15.
And let's just quickly warm up my skin before we get into powders
because I have a lot of powders to talk to you guys about.
And powders have been such a hot topic recently, as you know,
because of the whole Givenchy situation that has happened.
And I believe they have already pulled that formula off the shelf
so that you came and get the new reformulation from what I hear,
even though I was able to pick it up very easily at a local Sephora.
But I'm assuming things have changed since,
which is why I'm hearing that anyway.
So lots of talk about powders lately.
And there's also been lots of powder launches recently that have come out.
So I'm gonna be testing out two new ones and showing you, rather.
I've already tested them out for the last, what, two weeks at this point, almost?
Well, one of them for two weeks, the other one for about, yeah, two weeks.
I've been giving them good, solid testing days.
And I want to include them in this video
because they are some beautiful, beautiful powders.
And you're gonna be really happy when I tell you about these powders, okay?
First, let me finish warming up my complexion.
I'm gonna hit my jawline, warm up my cheeks even more.
Let's bring some dimension and some life back to my skin.
There we go.
It was looking a little flat, a little one-dimensional.
And if you'd like, going forward, a dedicated video
to all my newest favorite bronzers and blushes
and, like, colored cosmetics products that are at Sephora right now,
leave that in the comments below.
Demand it, and I'll get it done for you.
I'll get it filmed for you as soon as possible.
Now, let's dive into powders.
I have really good news because not only did I recommend
a whole bunch of loose powder recommendations in a separate video
about three weeks back at this point, four weeks back.
I lose track of time.
It's recent on my channel.
But I have some new ones since that video has come out
that I am loving that I think are amazing formulas
that I think are so, so worth checking out.
So let's dive into loose setting powders
that I think are the best newest ones at Sephora.
The first one is the new Makeup Forever HD Skin Setting Powder.
Now, it's important to call out,
this is not specifically a mattifying powder.
This is just a traditional HD loose setting powder.
So the reason why I want to call that out
is because they do have an HD more mattifying powder
that I actually have in my pro kit, and it is very, very mattifying.
Feels a little bit more dry than this one.
This one, I believe, is going to be good for all skin types.
So dry skin, mature skin, young skin,
textured skin, you name it.
I think that anyone can use this.
It's a very well-rounded powder.
Very nice.
Very much like how I'd recommend
the original Laura Mercier Translucent Powder to, like, anyone.
Similar kind of feeling behind this one,
or I'd recommend this for anyone.
Anyone who has skin that wants to set it,
whether it's wearing makeup or concealer,
you're going to enjoy this new Makeup Forever powder.
So I'm going to test out and show you
what the color 01 Corrective Rose looks like.
Now, originally, I heard the title,
and I was like, it's got rose in the title.
It's going to be it's going to be, you know,
maybe it's going to have like a pink look to it like the Givenchy.
It doesn't.
It's just a more neutral, leaning, cool tone, loose powder.
So just keep that in mind.
It's not going to look pink under your eyes.
I'm going to grab my N14 brush, a clean one.
And I forgot to close the sifter on this, clearly.
I wish I had closed it because it would have looked a lot more clean.
But there is a closer like a you can just kind of twist the cap
and it closes and seals.
So that's where the loose powder comes out.
Don't do what I did and forget to close it and then shake it up
and throw it in a bag and take it on the go with you,
because that's what caused this big mess.
Anyway, I'm going to dip it with my N14 brush.
Before I do, I'm going to buff out any creases that might have happened.
This powder has a surprisingly lightweight feeling to it,
even though it does actually come out a bit on the chunky side.
It's a little bit more of a chunky powder,
but once it hits your skin and once you apply a small amount,
it just feels like nothing on your skin.
So it's very finely milled.
It's very silky on the skin.
It's very smoothing.
I will say it's worth mentioning that if you have really, really oily skin,
be prepared.
This is not going to keep you matte all day long.
It's not going to be like the HG original loose powder from Makeup Forever.
That one is the one that is going to keep you matte all day long.
This one is talc free.
I'm not going to get to all the rest of the ingredients,
but just know that it's talc free and it does have a nice smoothing effect to it.
It feels really silky.
Very nice, very comfortable under the eyes.
It doesn't add like a heaviness to the under eyes.
So if you're using this to set your under eyes specifically,
you're going to like the way this feels
and you're not going to feel like you have too much thick cakey powder
under your eyes.
It just kind of melts into your skin.
Really, really nice and really flattering.
I'm going to take the rest of this powder and set the other half
of this side of my face.
And again, this is the side of my face that has a Dior stick foundation.
And it's just a really great powder.
They did a really great job.
There's no fragrance to it.
There's no talc. There's no shimmer.
There's no glitter.
There's nothing like that.
It's a really simple and a good way, like in the best way possible.
It's a really simple, straightforward, loose setting powder.
So really, really nice.
Anyone can use this.
Any skin type is going to enjoy it.
And again, just a quick call out that if you're severely oily,
it's not going to keep you matte all day long.
It's going to look more like a satin finish, not like an overly matte finish.
So and only if you're oily, if you have dry skin,
you're going to absolutely love the way this feels
because it feels just silky and nice and not overly drying on your skin.
So Makeup Forever, the new HD Skin Setting Powder, such a great formula.
And I highly recommend this one as far as new loose powders go at Sephora.
Now, the next I want to try on for you all is the new Makeup by Mario
Surreal Skin Soft Blur Setting Powder.
This one is also talc free.
This is also brand new.
I believe it's at least six shades in this powder.
They sent me over quite a few in PR.
So thank you so much, Makeup by Mario.
I got neutral peach, which I haven't tried.
I'm going to put that one in my pro kit
because I don't use peach powder on myself, just in my kit for clients.
They also sent neutral light, which is a very similar tone
to like the classic Laura Mercier translucent powder.
And the one I've been using and enjoying a lot is the shade one fair pink.
Now, just like the Makeup Forever, don't let the title get you excited.
It doesn't look pink on. It just doesn't.
It just looks like a neutral, leaning, cool tone powder.
So this one has no stopper in it, which I don't mind.
I actually like to some extent being able to just open up
and having a ton of powder at my disposal.
Sometimes it just gets kind of messier than other times,
like this one gets a little bit more messy, in my opinion.
Anyway, that's me nitpicking it.
It's got a nice, huge shaker, so you can get a ton of product out if you want.
Now, if you don't want that to happen, well, there's really no other option.
You're going to end up with this much powder in your component at all times.
So clean and 14 brush.
I'm going to dip into the ultra finely milled makeup by Mario Powder.
Now, this one feels a lot more lightweight and thin than the Makeup Forever.
This one has more thickness to it.
But once they're blended on, they're pretty much the same.
So I'm going to tap this under my eyes.
So this one has a really, really ultra blurring finish to it.
Like I'm talking super duper HD,
like you went and put a filter
on your face and on your photos or in your videos, whatever you're doing.
It's going to give you that kind of finish and that kind of look.
It is like ultra, ultra blurring on the skin.
So just keep that in mind.
So if you have any kind of texture, any kind of larger pores,
if you just pores in general, if you just have skin in general,
it's going to blur your skin so much.
I mean, times 20, it's going to blur your skin.
It feels really, really nice on it.
Wears exceptionally well.
I got no creases when I wore this powder at all, like none under my eyes.
No separation.
It looked really, honestly, incredibly flawless all throughout the day.
Now, the one thing I did a few times when I was testing this out
in like the last two weeks of wearing it is I baked with it multiple times
just to see what it would do.
And when I say bake, I mean, I took an excessive amount of powder on an N14
and I placed it all underneath and along the side of my nose.
That wasn't the move.
I'm just going to say that.
So once you if you're trying to bake with this one,
it's not going to be your best friend.
It's going to it might feel overly drying.
And if you're going for that and you have really, really, really oily skin,
then you might be OK with it and you definitely could still bake with it.
However, I found that even for my oily skin, I felt overly dry
when I baked with it.
And I know not everyone likes baking anyway.
I just thought I would call it out
just in case you decide to pick up baking under your eyes
as a as a new habit or a new hobby.
Just a little disclaimer.
If you want to do that, I just just my two cents.
If you are wanting to bake with it, if you're not baking with it
and you're just using it to set your under eyes, to blur imperfections,
to set your overall complexion,
you are going to absolutely freak out and love this powder.
It is a top notch launch from Makeup by Mario.
And honestly, I am so relieved to finally love a Makeup by Mario
complexion product.
I wasn't the biggest fan of the foundation.
I'm not the biggest fan of the concealer.
There's a bronzer that I'm not a big fan of as well.
Not the powder one, the stick one.
I find that one gets really patchy on my skin.
This is amazing.
So so happy, so thrilled to say that this is an amazing complexion launch
from Makeup by Mario.
He did a fantastic job.
So highly recommend this one for all skin types, oily, dry.
Anyone can use it.
Anyone can wear and they're going to love the way it looks.
There's no glitter. There's no shimmer.
There's no flashback.
There's no nothing like that.
And it's talk free.
And it wears incredibly flawless all throughout the day.
So love this one.
Definitely, definitely check this one out at Sephora.
OK, the last products I want to talk about are pressed powders.
OK, pressed powders.
And also a quick, quick call out.
I still love my Huda Beauty Easy Bake.
I'm just not going to mention it because to me,
this falls in the same category as like the Armani Luminous Silk
and the Dior Backstage Face and Body Foundation,
where you know it's an OG that I love and I still love it.
It's just not new.
So she's the goat.
She's she always will be, but it's not new.
And that's why it's not in this video.
So the next products are new and they're pressed powders.
So specifically pressed powders that I think are great for touch ups.
These are so worth checking out that are at Sephora right now.
So the first one is the Tower 28 Get Set Powder.
This is a blurring powder.
It's very silky.
It's very fine on the skin.
The shade I have is Palisade Pink.
And the way I like to use this is, first of all,
I find that I can use this to actually set my makeup
if I'm in a really big hurry.
But just know it's not going to give you the same kind of longevity
that you would get if you set it with an actual loose setting powder.
So that's always the case.
If you set your makeup with this pressed powder, it will set it.
But it's not going to give you the same long lasting setting effect
as a loose powder that is meant to set your makeup will do.
But I have used it in a pinch. It works great.
It looks beautiful.
But it doesn't give me like an all day setting effect to my makeup.
But Palisade Pink is a shade that I love on myself.
They launched four shades. It's very blurring.
It's amazing for fine tuning.
So let's say you have larger pores around your nose or let's say
you just want to touch up your nose throughout the day
when you're getting shiny
or you just want to refine, smooth, blur
and do all those kind of things.
This powder is fantastic.
My only complaint, if I had to put one out there,
which is being ridiculous, is there's no mirror
and it just kind of feels like it's missing from there.
But otherwise, lightweight, compact, easy to travel with
and just a really great pressed powder formula.
So I love that one.
I'm also still loving the Rare Beauty.
This is the tinted pressed finishing powder.
This is definitely not a setting powder.
This is 100% formulated and intended to be a finishing powder
and more of a touch of powder throughout the day.
So if you apply this to a wet complexion, like a wet foundation,
a wet under eye, it will look like it's oxidizing
because it's going to change colors
because it's going to grip onto that wet complexion very quickly.
And you're not going to like the way it looks if you do that.
Long story short, use this the same way.
I just use the Tower 28 for refinement, touch up, smoothing, blurring,
all those kind of things throughout the day.
This powder will not disappoint you if you're using it in that way.
So it's a beautiful powder.
They have tons of shades to choose from, which I think is great.
This does give you a tint to your skin.
So make sure you choose a shade that matches you
the closest you can that you could find.
And just know the it's not completely translucent.
This does give off a hint of color and a hint of of a shade.
So get the one that matches you the closest you can.
But loving this one, not expensive.
It's a nice I think this is $30.
This is 28.
So very affordable pressed powders to touch up with.
And then last one I want to share.
I am so thrilled about I cannot even tell you this.
When I saw this launch, I was like, you read my mind
and it came at such a perfect time because as we've been looking
for an alternative to the pink shade alone in the Givenchy,
Kosas was like, let me give you the pressed Cloudset powder
that you already know and love.
I love this pressed powder so much.
I go through so many of these.
I'm a huge, huge fan of this powder.
Looks good on everyone.
Like it's a phenomenal powder.
I even have this in my pro kit, which says a lot.
OK, but they came out with the shade Candy,
which is a perfect alternative.
If you're just looking for the pink to replace the Givenchy,
you have got to get this.
It's the exact same formula as the Cloudset original.
It's a Cloudset in the shade Candy, and it is just so amazing.
I just got this recently and I have been hooked on it ever since.
So that's the shade Candy has a really pretty soft pink shift to it.
And you'll notice this does a hint of shimmer in it.
But a hint, not glitter.
It's not highlighter.
It's a hint of light reflecting quality
and bounce back and brightening that you're going to absolutely love.
So let me actually put some of this under my eyes
just to show you, because I don't want to leave you hanging
and not show you what this looks like on.
OK, I just clean off my N14 brush.
I'm going to dip into Candy and pop it right where I used to love
to put the Givenchy original formula in the Voile Rose,
which is right in this triangle under my eyes for brightening,
for blurring, for setting.
It's just so good.
So I have been obsessed with this.
This is such a great user friendly product and a really, really,
really great alternative to like shade wise.
And also like that little hint of good shimmer, not like the excess
amount of shimmer that they put in the new one.
This is such a great alternative option to replace that one.
So amazing.
If you've been searching for a pink powder, this just got even better
because it's pressed and it's just really easy to work with.
I would still suggest using a little bit of like a loose powder first
and then putting this on top for extra smoothing, extra brightening,
extra refinement and extra that little extra something
something that the Givenchy used to give us. Right.
So this is so amazing.
Such a great launch from Kosas.
I'm so thrilled they came out with this.
Highly recommend this product.
And if you don't want the pink one, get the OG in a shade
that's close to your skin tone and you'll love it.
It's the same formula.
And it's a fantastic formula.
OK, that wraps up this video.
I hope you found it helpful.
And I hope this helps to answer any questions you might have about
all of the new complexion products that are launched recently at Sephora
and just in general, too.
Like there's just so many options right now.
And I really just want to have everything that I highly recommend,
everything that I personally love so, so much I find is just working
so well for both me and also to use in my professional makeup kit.
So leave me a comment if you have any other questions
about these products or if you have any other things you want to add to it.
If I missed a complexion product that you think I would love,
leave that in the comments.
And also, I want to just put out there really quickly as well,
in case you're wondering why I didn't mention this product in this video.
It's because I'm still kind of figuring out the best way to use this
for my skin, because I do have really oily skin.
And this product is a very glowy product.
It is beautiful.
But in case you're wondering at home why I didn't mention it,
it's just for those reasons alone.
Otherwise, it's a gorgeous product if you have drier skin.
Big, big thank you again to Sephora for continuing to partner
with me on today's video and for supporting my channel.
And a big thank you to you guys for supporting me and for watching my videos.
I love you. I wouldn't be able to do this without you.
Thank you so much for watching.
And I'll see you in the next one. Bye.
