It gives me cheekbones I don't have. It gives me this kind of like plush cheek look.▶ 13:43–13:50
It adds that brightness. It is again another one of those like secret weapon products in my routine when I feel like my entire makeup look looks flat.▶ 13:47–13:57
This a little bit just right on the cheeks and everything pops. Everything comes alive. I look more awake. Like my green eyes pop.▶ 13:59–14:06
It sticks where you place it and does not move. It has longevity.▶ 14:24–14:30
It delivers on longevity genuine extra bonus points. It's phenomenal. Phenomenal.
When I went to Korea people were recommending it and I see why.▶ 14:57–15:03
I am fully on team lilybyred, especially the Love Balms.▶ 14:59–15:06
This is so cheap. Like, a lot of these products are insanely cheap. The fact that I can get this blush for five bucks just kind of it's insane to me.▶ 11:45–11:53
It just looks like such a nothing kind of shade, but it really warms up once you actually get it onto the skin to this really lovely soft peach.▶ 12:00–12:10
It has the blurring kind of formula that I wish for when I see formulas like this.▶ 12:14–12:23
This is a soft focused effect that still looks natural.▶ 12:28–12:35
I used this on my sister on her wedding day. We used a little bit of liquid blush and then uh topped this off. Just fantastic.▶ 12:33–12:37
There's a naturalness. There's a subtlety to these
I think that this is a winner that again I don't hear anyone talking about.▶ 12:58–13:05
I just find myself going back to it over and over and over.▶ 13:03–13:09
If you have fair olive skin or in general you prefer these beiges, something a little desaturated has a little brown. It's just one of those all-in-one colors and it's fantastic.▶ 10:26–10:32
It is so so lovely.
It's that like, you know, is she even wearing blush kind of look.▶ 10:48–10:53
Copper Spice is essentially like a version of Toasted Teddy. It's a bronzer shade.▶ 12:11–12:21
This is pretty pigmented, so I'm not going to use like a ton of it.▶ 13:00–13:08
I will usually just use this alone as a blush bronzer hybrid if I'm going for that like sunflushed almost like that sunburnt kind of look.▶ 13:06–13:11
You see how it just brings this sun-kissed youthful kind of vibe.▶ 13:47–13:53
I think the drops are better than the bronzer.▶ 6:45–6:53
This shade, if someone's after a shade that's not like straight warm orange, orange orange, I think that this shade absolutely fits the bill.▶ 7:10–7:18
It is definitely just has way way more pink.▶ 7:25–7:32
The Westman Atelier I think is excellent for very very fair skin.▶ 7:44–7:50
I think the drops are better than the cream.
If you're like me, I would just say those drops and the liquids are a much better bet.▶ 8:03–8:08
They're going to sit more evenly on the skin.▶ 8:08–8:15
And it does have a glowier kind of finish to it.▶ 8:55–9:01
It is one of the most affordable, incredible concealers out there.▶ 4:29–4:34
This beats out like I have so many concealers here. Glossier Stretch concealer easily.▶ 4:39–4:47
Though it's a different finish, I would way more likely recommend this than like the Nars potted concealer.▶ 4:45–4:52
It is one of the best pot cream concealers on the market, period.▶ 4:54–4:59
If you have dry, mature under eyes or in general, you just find that you have dark hollowess that you really want creaminess and you want to bounce light. You don't want the under eyes to look really sunken.▶ 5:09–5:16
So many people sleep on this concealer, it's not even funny.▶ 5:27–5:32
I try out a lot of luxury concealers a lot. There are a lot that never look this good under my eyes.▶ 5:43–5:48
color corrector · natural · £29 · Tarte, Kohl's, Sephora
I have loved this product for years.
It is one of the only color correctors in my opinion that doesn't dry out the under eye and make it look really heavy and thick with product.▶ 5:05–5:17
It's so incredibly hydrating and you just need to pat on a little bit.▶ 5:36–5:40
You can definitely build up the coverage.▶ 5:40–5:46
I mean, this packs coverage, but as a color corrector, a nice thin layer goes on and then just a little bit of concealer right on top and you get the most gorgeous effect.▶ 5:42–5:49
It is that perfect creamy hydrated under eye with a great amount of coverage that doesn't look dry, weird, cakey, and gives me the brightness that I need for my hollow under eyes, which so many concealers do not.▶ 10:32–10:41
I would highly recommend just taking a small amount, putting it under the eyes if you just want kind of a no makeup makeup look.▶ 10:57–11:05
foundation · dewy · $118.00 · Koh Gen Do Cosmetics, Frends Beauty
For me personally, it is the perfect foundation for those of you that want to photograph exceptionally well, but you want to look naturally airbrushed in person.▶ 2:34–2:45
I have called it like it's the perfect wedding day foundation in my opinion for those of you with for dry skin types, normal skin types.▶ 2:54–3:00
I have bought this foundation for probably a decade now.▶ 3:18–3:24
There are very little foundations in my opinion that are as good as this.▶ 3:21–3:29
If you want to look just like really really airbrushed, but it actually looks like this in real life, it's really an incredible incredible product.▶ 3:44–3:57
It's so thin and you can keep building and building these layers, but they don't look like a bunch of makeup.▶ 4:01–4:09
There's literally not another foundation on the market that does exactly what this does.▶ 4:22–4:28
The Missha perfect cover BB cream just gives you this immediate true brightened look.▶ 6:43–6:49
It gives you this flawless blur but illuminosity.▶ 6:49–6:53
It will give you quite a bit of coverage very quickly.▶ 6:57–7:06
My skin looks kind of perfect from the minute I put it on to when I take it off.
My skin actually really loves this like there's a moisturizing quality it doesn't irritate my skin.
It's makeup that I don't feel bad about wearing.
If you have more mature skin if you deal with fine lines and wrinkles or a dullness in your skin.▶ 6:34–6:43
If you have more of a light kind of olive skin tone some of these have almost like a grayness to them that I think works really well for more of an olive undertone.▶ 7:04–7:11
This beats so many like $50 plus foundations that are in my collection right now better than like the new reformulated luminous silk from Armani.▶ 0:43–0:54
I would argue that this is better than the OG Armani if I really had to like put my money on a product.▶ 0:57–1:03
I've bought this product for maybe six years now.▶ 1:03–1:07
This is one of the best products for mature skin out there.▶ 2:16–2:26
It just immediately covers all your redness.▶ 2:24–2:28
It's not like full coverage, but let me level with you here. I think that it's that perfect balance between medium coverage, creamy natural finish that ends up looking like just perfected skin and not like really good foundation, if that makes sense.▶ 2:26–2:33
If I'm wearing this, I'm not getting compliments on the foundation. I'm getting compliments on how my skin is looking.▶ 2:44–2:46
Do you guys see how like traceless this is?▶ 2:55–3:01
What I really, really enjoy about this foundation is it has quite a lot of moisture without it necessarily being one of these obnoxiously self-setting smoothing, blurring foundations.▶ 2:25–2:35
This to me is just one of those great add moisture and coverage to the skin products.▶ 2:40–2:49
Think of this almost as like an IT Cosmetics CC cream kind of product.▶ 2:49–2:56
It is creamier though. It is almost like a BB cream kind of texture.▶ 3:11–3:20
So this was one pump and you see I have good coverage. I have really nice coverage.▶ 3:16–3:25
Kosas Cloud Set to me, this is my like everyday holy grail powder.▶ 15:54–16:03
This does such an elegant job at setting those areas without everything looking dry and heavy.▶ 16:40–16:50
Sometimes powders can really look waxy on the skin. You see how that just like perfected everything without sacrificing the quality look of my skin.▶ 16:47–16:59
God, this is so good. It's just it's a fantastic one.▶ 17:07–17:12
If I'm setting my face in the summer and I don't want my skin to look dry and heavy, but I need something to like help with longevity, this is the go-to.▶ 17:14–17:19
This isn't kind of a holy grail. It's been a holy grail literally since the launch.▶ 17:21–17:27
lip balm · glossy · HK$188 · TONYMOLY Hong Kong, TONYMOLY Australia, Glam Global UK
This has way more pigment. Think of it almost like a glossy, shiny, thicker lipstick because it has the pigmentation level of a lot of lipsticks, but it's just so so glossy.▶ 26:38–26:49
It has a grip to it, so it's not going to move around.▶ 26:59–27:02
It has this beautiful plushness and it really keeps the lips nourished and hydrated without it being a really oily formula, without it being a very sticky formula.▶ 25:23–25:29
It's really doing a good job of adding that glossy kind of filled in line look while also actually working.▶ 25:34–25:45
It is just as beautiful as a skincare product as it is an aesthetic kind of item.▶ 25:45–25:55
All of the shades are gorgeous.
As far as affordable lip balms go, they are definitely some of the best.▶ 26:13–26:19
I did a whole roundup of like a ton of luxury lip balms and these came out basically on top.▶ 26:19–26:24
It's a satin lipstick, but it also is kind of balmy in a sense that is more sheer, but it's not going to gloop up and get really glossy as you continue to apply it, which I really love.▶ 25:04–25:09
It's stiffer. It's layerable, but it's not going to start turning into a really glossy effect.▶ 25:13–25:21
It just adds just the right amount of balmy moisture without it being a glossy lipstick.▶ 25:56–26:02
Still very thin on the lips, which I really, really, really enjoy.▶ 26:09–26:14
They are the most plush, the glossiest, the most fill in the lines of your lips looking lip gloss that does not feel like incredibly waxy, sticky gloss.▶ 23:43–23:54
They just create the most plush, juicy lip look.▶ 23:59–24:08
There is no formula that I think is better than these on the market, period.▶ 24:14–24:24
I love almost every single shade I have ever put on.▶ 24:22–24:29
There just is not a single one that is of poor quality that doesn't have a really, really interesting, nuanced shade.▶ 25:14–25:19
They just blow my mind every time I use them.▶ 25:22–25:27
These are more nourishing and hydrating than a lot of those true like lip balm supposed to be reparative products.▶ 25:33–25:40
These have a really lovely balminess to them.▶ 25:55–26:01
It's nonsticky, very plush on the lips, and it really sticks and lasts. Like it really forms that protective barrier that you need in a lip product like this.▶ 26:03–26:12
I was not expecting to love this as much as I do.▶ 26:27–26:31
I think that they absolutely killed it with this formula.▶ 26:29–26:34
It is the lip I used on my sister on her wedding day.▶ 28:29–28:34
This is the most lovely lip stain. It is glossy. It is hydrating. It isn't really thick. It isn't too too creamy, but it has enough creaminess to give you good saturation and evenness to the stain.▶ 28:41–28:51
It lasts so well, but it's also not one of those lip stains that is just immediately red.▶ 28:57–29:02
I love that it is very subtle. It feels perfect for everyday.▶ 29:12–29:18
I always go back to it. I always want to use it.▶ 29:27–29:31
I have so many lip stains and I've recommended this year after year should tell you guys enough. I just think it's fantastic.▶ 29:31–29:35
Perhaps one of my favorite affordable lip products of all time, the Lip Ivy from NYX.▶ 12:44–12:57
I have tried a lot of lip stains. K beauty lip stains, high-end. This is one of the best on the market, period.▶ 12:50–13:03
Look at how juicy and even that color is.▶ 13:06–13:13
If you're like, Amanda, I don't want it to be this pigmented, you just take your little piece of tissue, you blot it off, you put a little bit in the center again. And that, my friends, is not going anywhere.▶ 13:10–13:22
The most perfect, subtle, but like longwearing lip stain. So good.▶ 13:32–13:41
I actually did my friend's wedding makeup almost 2 years ago now and this is the pencil we used in her brow because she wanted just something really soft and this one was perfect.▶ 11:28–11:38
As far as K beauty single shadows, this has been my most favorite since I tried them this year.▶ 16:43–16:48
These are the wet sparkly top coats that I am always looking for and hunting for on Yes Style.▶ 16:51–16:56
They are almost reminiscent of if you guys have tried like the Natasha Denona Chroma Crystal Top Coats, they're almost reminiscent of that, just drier.▶ 17:00–17:07
They all have different base pigments, but they're all very sheer base pigments with of course the wet glossy sparkles throughout.▶ 17:17–17:24
If you are looking for just a wet sparkly glossy top coat, varying slight differences in the undertone, these are like such an incredible bang for your buck.▶ 17:30–17:35
They have a little bit of a plushness to them.
They have a little give to them similar to like an Urban Decay Moondust shadow. That give and that slip really makes them want to apply to the eyes really readily.
They're not like an overly dry formula.▶ 17:17–17:21
This is what is on my eyes today as like the shimmery wet glossy top coat.▶ 20:15–20:22
It's pretty similar to something like Space Cowboy from Urban Decay, but I like it because it's even more there's like a softness to it.▶ 20:30–20:38
The particles are even finer. It's a slightly more powder like formula.▶ 20:35–20:50
Something happens when it goes on the eyes. It just kind of it's wet looking eyeshadow but taken down a notch in a really lovely kind of approachable everyday way.▶ 20:53–20:57
It's a glitter but it's subdued. It's taken a step down almost just to give this really soft reflection.▶ 21:14–21:22
These formulas are better than any of the Romand palettes that I have tried.▶ 21:31–21:36
It was one of the favorites of my entire haul when I went to Korea.▶ 21:42–21:48
The shade Liberty from LAKA. This is like the most lovely grungy wet looking glitter. Very very much giving luxury as far as that sparkle. The quality is just insane.▶ 18:34–18:42
single eyeshadow · matte · $5.25 · STYLEVANA, YesStyle, OLIVE YOUNG Global
It quickly just became that perfect one and done creamy matte eyeshadow.▶ 19:09–19:20
It is very very similar to a lot of the Western Beauty expensive expensive eyeshadows like in the quality, in the pigment, the creaminess, all of it.▶ 19:16–19:25
It has a lovely blur to it.
I just find that it is skin-loving as far as eyeshadows go.▶ 19:30–19:35
A lot of matte eyeshadows, matte powders look weird on the eyes if you have dry skin or maybe you have more mature skin. And this just has this really lovely softening quality.▶ 19:37–19:42
Blends like freaking nothing. Like it it just is so foolproof.▶ 19:48–19:53
The shade is just really pretty for green eyes, but it's still like not super saturated.▶ 19:55–19:59
Something even as subtle as this can really make them pop.▶ 20:04–20:10
They're just really easy for beginners.▶ 13:31–13:37
They have good pigmentation, but they're not like really really saturated, but they're not super super sheer like some K beauty shadows can be.▶ 13:34–13:42
This Essence eyeshadow is really lovely.▶ 9:40–9:47
I really enjoy it because it has more of a cream to powder kind of texture.▶ 9:45–9:54
I actually think it's pretty reminiscent to the strobe highlights from RMS.▶ 9:51–10:01
I think that this is way more of like an RMS strobe lights kind of product. It has that creaminess, but then it sets down like a powder would.▶ 10:07–10:16
cream eyeshadow · shimmer · $39.00 · Rituel de Fille
It is really difficult to find this kind of formula anywhere else.▶ 18:27–18:35
Rituel de Fille kind of pigment mixed with emollient kind of texture to them.▶ 18:31–18:42
You see how like they have that grungy kind of sy melting into the skin kind of look.▶ 18:42–18:49
Gave great definition but also didn't stray too far into the like metallic realm because this is not metallic.▶ 18:46–18:55
It's like something in between a metallic and a satin. I think closest it's closest to a satin.▶ 19:00–19:07
Gorgeous light reflection creamy quality, but it's not a cream. It's that cream powder kind of hybrid.▶ 19:07–19:18
For me personally, I do not think it gets much better than that.▶ 19:47–19:51
How like the swatches never even fully give it justice like when it goes on the eyes how it like turns into this lovely emollient creamy light reflective kind of vibe.▶ 20:04–20:09
If you want your lashes to get complimented rather than your mascara, I think that this is a really really good option.▶ 22:21–22:29
It doesn't look like a lot of mascara when it's actually on the eyes.▶ 22:29–22:35
This to me is the perfect balance. It gives you a little bit of the definition but you're also getting the pretty length and the pretty volume.▶ 23:03–23:09
Really really nice for kind of like that 15-minute no makeup makeup mascara.▶ 23:13–23:18
These days I actually am using my Sweed Beauty Lash Lift even more and that is unheard of for me.▶ 21:48–21:59
I will say that I wish the stopper was a little bit better and it removed the extra product more because I find that sometimes it has the perfect amount on it and then sometimes it gets gunked up. So that is one thing I don't like about it.▶ 22:01–22:06
It's still a holy grail though and I'm about to show you why.▶ 22:14–22:20
It is that lash lift effect. You just comb it through.▶ 22:26–22:31
And then my lashes are like freaking sky high.▶ 22:31–22:39
It just is one of those mascaras that if you are into that really defined, super lengthened look, but you don't want them to look kind of limp.▶ 22:35–22:46
I want my lashes to look really pretty and defined like this, but I also want them to be fanned out.▶ 22:42–22:56
I want them to have some definition. I don't want them to look kind of limp and undefined.▶ 22:46–22:52
I usually really hate SPF color correcting kind of like eye cream with a little tint for like the everyday, that kind of thing. I usually really dislike those kinds of products and this is one of the only ones that is thin enough but hydrating enough.▶ 1:34–1:44
hydrogel face mask · $19.00 · Sephora, Amazon US, Costco
I just loved the way it depuffed and kind of tightened up my skin.▶ 1:12–1:21
This has been one of the only face masks that really takes care of it and leaves my skin with almost this like kind of tight and bright look, but it kind of gives a different effect, a very glass kind of skin effect.▶ 1:24–1:29
By the time it comes off, your face kind of has this really glossy sheen that actually lasts.▶ 1:43–1:48
This one is more for like a special event, really kind of tight and bright look to the skin.▶ 1:58–2:04
I think that these are absolutely worth any of the hype that they get.▶ 2:10–2:14
moisturizer · dewy · $17.00–$24.00 · Beauty of Joseon Official Store, Sephora
The Dynasty Cream is really replenishing, deeply hydrating.▶ 2:27–2:32
I don't think the Dynasty cream is great for use under makeup. I do find it will peel under makeup.▶ 2:35–2:42
I just use this when I'm not wearing makeup or at night time.▶ 2:55–3:00
On days when I think my skin is dry, it's not necessarily lacking in oil. It is lacking in water and in hydration in my actual skin barrier. And this is what does a really good job of kind of balancing my skin.▶ 3:00–3:09
For oily skin, you got to check that one out because I just feel like that would be your ultimate night cream.▶ 3:16–3:20
If I just want to suck out the gunk and I don't need activives, like if it's a really especially sensitive breakout, then I'll just go with the OG Mighty Patch.▶ 27:37–27:50
Both of these I love. Have repurchased. They're absolutely fantastic.▶ 28:02–28:09
If you just want something to suck out the gunk and to actually stay in place and hold a lot, Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patches.▶ 28:09–28:14
This is my holy grail now for over a year.▶ 5:15–5:21
The Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence has done more for my skin than a lot of crazy rich creams.▶ 5:18–5:27
This does such a beautiful job of really nourishing the skin, imparting both moisture and hydration.▶ 5:27–5:32
You can just layer on a couple layers of this and your skin is so deeply replenished, but it's just so freaking lightweight.▶ 5:38–5:43
I have personally found that I'm not using super rich creams anymore. I am layering thinner creams, essences, toners, and finding that my skin has been doing incredible as far as actually repairing the skin barrier.▶ 5:46–5:53
I have, yeah, seen kind of the best results that I've seen in a while.▶ 6:07–6:14
I have dry skin and that sunscreen works beautifully for me, but I see combination and oily skin also like really loving that velvety finish.▶ 3:59–4:04
sunscreen · $18.99 · Target, HB Beauty Bar, STYLEVANA
I still think that it's an incredibly underrated product for the again deep hydration that it gives the skin without it being an overly greasy product.▶ 6:23–6:34
I still think that this as far as Korean sunscreens is one of the best.▶ 6:56–7:01
I still think that it would get along with so many different skin types.▶ 7:01–7:06
It smells like that very very classic pineapple piña colada, but not like cloyingly sweet smell.▶ 26:52–27:01
I just feel like in the summer when I want to treat myself to a little I always like to treat myself and repurchase the vacation sunscreens cuz it just it gives me that true like nostalgic summer feel.▶ 27:08–27:13
This is my OG, the BK 106. Not cheap, but very, very good.▶ 3:29–3:36
This brush is so good, too, by the way, because I can take it straight from using my foundation to applying my bronzer, and it just is a perfect size to kind of do both.▶ 6:25–6:36
I got to tell you, if there's one that I have been like, my boyfriend and I both were just like, I just freaking love that soap. I love that soap so much.▶ 27:46–27:54
It is hydrating and it just has that it is definitely that like hotel soap vibe like you know when you go to a fancy hotel and like all of the essentials that they give you are all really lovely smelling and feel expensive.▶ 28:02–28:08
This one way more to me feels like this is the most like if we're thinking no makeup makeup, this is the most no fragrance fragrance smell.▶ 30:36–30:41
Just kind of smells like a little like oh she just smells good or they just smell good.▶ 30:43–30:49
I definitely at this point recommend extra milk over milk, the OG milk, because this lasts longer.▶ 30:58–31:05
