  1. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Hung Vanngo Beauty Red Carpet Skin Foundation at 01:39 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • There's 38 shades available, they're customized neutrals, and they're designed to be like nuanced1:22
    • It is so hard to find nuanced shades1:39
    • Medium buildable with a natural blurred finish, 38 shades all in the neutral family5:30
    • This foundation has a lightweight serum texture that feel very hydrating with buildable medium to full coverage
    • The pigment are actually formulated to be more concentrated than traditional foundation, so even though it's thin, a little goes a long way6:55
    • The finish is supposed to be a soft focus finish, which goes very much into like makeup artistry, like, you know, you always want that soft focus, very forgivable, kind of blurry effect and finish to your foundation when you're working with like celebrity clients, any clients7:27
    • Highly concentrated formula, which is why also he is saying to use less and less is more7:46
    • I think that that is like the most brilliant way to tackle a new formulation and a new foundation launch, especially in 2026 when we're all so fatigued with the yellow formula foundations that we're being fed on the market8:23
    • I am a little bit more tan on my body, so maybe I will put a little bit of a touch of 11 on
    • Shade eight is definitely going to be my match
    • Medium buildable with a natural blurred finish
    • It's infused with skin-loving ingredients like Hung Van Ngo says26:20
    • I do feel like this is going to be a great formula for more dry, dry mature, or dry leaning skin, or any kind of skin that's maybe normal and balanced, but wants that more satiny, luminous look to their complexion26:25
    • For me, as an oily person, I'll make sure I include how this actually wore on my skin30:36
  2. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing MAKEUP BY MARIO Liquid Soft Shimmer Shadows at 12:02 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • These are like a muted shadow, super excited for those0:18
    • He just introduced us to the soft shimmer. It's a long-wear cream eyeshadow, but these are all shimmers12:02
    • Packaging is just like the matte one, except this has a sheen to it indicating that it's the shiny one12:12
    • Mauve magic looks so gorgeous on the swatches12:18
    • Bronze baddie, I couldn't resist. I love a bronze eyeshadow12:26
    • It's a soft shimmer. It's not meant to be like overly metallic or like a chunky glitter, so I feel like these are going to be very universally friendly and very wearable for like any age demographic12:41
    • If you have like fine lines, crepey eyelids, but you still want that glow and that pretty effect cuz I'll be wearing shimmers the rest of my life personally, then this is going to be a good formulation to go with12:53
    • I think brown eyes can wear anything, but on those eye colors, this would be outstanding14:02
    • The other ones are like a budge-proof, crease-proof, they don't move, which is makes them ideal bases for powder eyeshadows to go on top of14:06
    • By layering any kind of liquid shadows, too, or even like a shadow stick, you're building up the intensity14:30
    • They layer nice14:39
  3. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Dior Glassy Glow Stick at 19:26 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Glassy Glow Stickshade · Glazed Pink
    • This is Glazed Pink. It's like a hint of pink. But this is a glossy formula, but maybe it actually would serve it better to go underneath the blush because the blush is more like a cream mousse texture and putting that on top of it might really disrupt it and ruin it18:40
    • It is very glossy
    • The thing about the glossy formulas is they're not going to dry down. So, if your hair hits your face, if you touch your skin, it's going to transfer because there's no dry down19:26
    • Good for dry skin types and good for like ultra glowy, juicy makeup looks19:33
    • The way I like to use it, especially like the Victoria Beckham highlighter stick, which is similar to this, but less glossy, I like to use as a topper after all the powders are applied to my client's skin, I'll use that to infuse a skin-like fresh, juicy glow back to like a matte foundation look19:37
  4. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing ILIA Thru Line Waterproof Eyeliner at 15:12 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I love a waterproof eyeliner. I love a long-lasting eyeliner. And I love a brown14:55
    • Super creamy, very pigmented, very opaque15:12
    • Glided on really richly pigmented
    • It's creamy, definitely very creamy
    • It's not like skipping or tugging on my lash line, which is also a plus15:51
    • It's definitely smudgeable, but since it's a long-wear waterproof formula, I'm assuming that the dry down is going to be great, and once it dries down, it's going to be like it should be budge-proof and again, waterproof16:10
    • I did lose some of the opacity blending it out, so I'm going back over it one more time
  5. no still
    Wonder Snatch Concealershade · Light Beige
    • This is one of my favorite concealers
  6. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Sephora Collection Cream Contour at 09:45 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Cream Contourshade · Light Medium
    • It is fantastic. It is such a well-done contour shade and also formula9:40
    • The formula is buttery, but stays put really well9:45
    • I've been grabbing it every single day9:51
    • It's affordable
  7. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Hung Vanngo Beauty Tansculpt at 11:32 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is also very pigmented, but I do need to warm my forehead a touch because, like I said, it's definitely more bronze than the rest of my face10:54
    • Of these two together is working very nicely cuz obviously they're made for the same people, so they're going to be best friends playing in the park together11:32
  8. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder at 23:20 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is my favorite under eye powder at the moment23:14
    • It's so smooth, and to me this has enough filler quality to it where it still looks really smooth under the eyes23:20
    • If you have like crepiness under your eyes, a lot of texture, this gives a really blurred effect, but also a smoothing effect, and also the bonus is it's a brightening powder23:25
  9. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing VIOLETTE_FR Plume Blush at 24:05 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Plume Blushshade · Souvenir De Volubilis
    • Anything Violette FR does is always I just feel like outstanding and so unique17:17
    • This might look really intimidating to most people, and this might be the kind of color that you would never grab, never ever grab24:05
    • If pink blushes turn orange on you, then this could be the blush that you've been missing out on your whole entire life24:17
    • A purple will translate as a pink without turning orange on your skin
    • If you're a really cool undertone for example, or like a neutral olive like me, or an olive, you are missing out if you don't try to pick up a purple blush once in your lifetime and try it because it's going to end up being your favorite pink blush
    • It's definitely buildable. It's layerable25:27
    • It's pigmented, but still buildable
  10. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Auria 12 Hour Luminous Primer at 21:41 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is actually a 12-hour luminous primer21:02
    • It blends out to just give you a nice sheen21:41
    • It's glowy. Has a gel consistency
    • This is supposed to be like a long-lasting 12-hour luminous primer21:43
  11. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing MAC Cosmetics Elevate Stack Mascara at 22:46 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • My friends, I never put mascara on. Let me just put some mascara on really quick. This is the MAC Elevate Stack Mascara22:29
    • If you love mascara, and mascara's beautiful. I won't stop wearing mascara. I look different without mascara. My eyes just look beady and really small without mascara22:46
  12. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Auria Lip Duo at 28:33 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Lip Duoshade · Rosa 05
    • This is the set that I'm about to put on my lips. It's a liner and a serum infused lip duo27:47
    • It's a traditional wooden pencil, very opaque28:33
    • The lip serum right here adds a dimensional veil of color with irresistible shine29:03
    • Formulas synergize to form one seamless texture on the lips29:08
    • Formula feels great. Feels very nourishing. It feels like a lip serum, for sure29:49
    • It's definitely translating and pulling more coral on me, which I'm not a fan of coral on myself at all29:37
