Hi Shelbey. I love your videos. Your makeup looks are sophisticated and easy to replicate. There are a ton of channels that do full-on colour eye looks. So I wondered if you could do a colour series (focusing on eyes really) for green, purple, blue, pink, peach, black, grey, brown etc. where you use the products you love and create a subtle look in these colourways? You may be too busy, but just an idea. xxxx

I’m glad you mentioned the SPF attacks … especially on Tik Tok… people were really rude and your replies to them was so kind! I saw the Elf powder in Ulta… I may give it a go!!

Hi shelbey, have you tried looking into Korean/Japanese sunscreens? They are very comfortable and feel like moisturizers, I use the mermaid UV gel by Canmake and it is very nice (more like a light moisturizer), you can find it at Amazon for like $10

Well I so agree about so many new products coming out that it is hard to keep up and I would really like to use up what I have before I purchase more! So far I haven’t had a problem with my CT foundation, but I don’t know if I will repurchase it . I like the Merit products I have for travel. They are easy to pack and easy to apply. Let’s face it all our skin isn’t alike so everyone isn’t going to be different, but it’s nice to have you give your honest opinion because you have definitely saved me money! Thanks 😊

Thx for the heads up on the Supergoop Drops-hadn't hear or it but might give it a try during Sephora sale-use it on days I'm working at home as it is quick pricey.

The only fdn product under her line that works with my skin is the healthy glow tinted moisturizer which fuses with my skin amazingly well

I have mature dry skin and I love the elf camo powder foundation

I’m super sensitive and dry too! My favorite sunscreen so far has been the Tula Mineral Magic sunscreen. It’s oil free and tinted, so no white cast! So far, it’s been the only sunscreen that hasn’t made my skin burn.

Amen with the spf rant. Every one I’ve tried has made me break out, as well as foundations containing spf. If I put any amount on my face I consider that a win because I usually opt out. I am not about to slather tablespoons of spf on my face every 30 minutes.

@KaraLey98

2 жыл бұрын

Does anybody REALLY do that -- slather more on every 30 min or even 2 hours? I've had so much skin cancer so I must stay out of the sun completely. The one who started this whole sunscreen push, is A***e. I'm not a subscriber there. Anyway, glad Shelby & some of the rest of you spoke out about the "SPF Abuse" we are subjected to if we dare to come online checking out makeup & techniques for applying.

I really appreciate that you’re not doing hauls and using so many products. I’m truly inspired to be very selective with the products I do decide to try. It can still be fun to try new things and I’m more likely to pick things that have a higher likelihood to work for me. Eczema and dermatitis is so tricky. For me personally, I have actually found that the so-called gentle and non-irritating mineral sunscreens are exactly what causes irritation for me. I tolerate chemical sunscreen so much better. Zinc can actually trap oils and heat against the skin, it’s also non soluble, rather dispersable, so the friction of the dispersed powder and trying to even out the whiteness is enough in itself to start me off irritated. Many well-loved spfs for sensitive skin such as elta MD, Cotz, and Paulas choice have actually caused a burning sensation with intense redness everywhere I apply. My skin ends up red, swollen feeling, and itchy all together! I use Altruist spf 30 and 50, and the new Eucerin Age Defense for face and Hyaluronic. All chemical spfs. Don’t you just love product inconsistencies!?😆 so strange. Who knows!

Would love to know what you think of the Lisa Eldridge cream shadows! Loooove them ❤️

Shelby.. you might like Laura Geller Double take Foundation if you love powders, it’s a really good coverage, is one of the only foundations that lasts all day on me and the finish is amazing!!

Thank-you 🧡which cream eyeshadow would you recommend? thank-you xx

You must, must, MUST try Ultra Violette Queen Screen Lightweight Sunscreen. Absolutely divine under makeup. Just a hint of glow. Perfect base. Skincare as sunscreen. I’m an avid user, not connected to brand. Designed by Australians… because we know sun.

I like the RMS shadow.

PLEASE try the hero cosmetics sunscreen at target. It’s green tinted but blends out almost immediately, is completely zinc based, and feels like a beautiful moisturizing lotion. I think it will be great for you.

Thank you for the good and the bad!!

The packaging of the Merit lipsticks is gorgeous! Very mid century!

Same thing happened to me until I stippled it with a brush, never circle it. Try that, I promise you will love it. I also tried it with the glowing primer from Laura mercier 🙌🏼♥️

Try the tula spf. It does not peel up on me at all. It's got a great glow and works wonders as a primer

The only retinol cream with the acceptable price point that works wonders for me is Origins Plantscription Retinol Night Moisturizer with Alpine flower! Amazing results overnight! 🙌🏻

If you haven't tried it already, I highly recommend the Black Girl Sunscreen. It is beautiful and leaves a nice glow to the skin, also has a nice tackiness to it but definitely not too much, and works well under makeup. Please please give it a try. You can get it at Target for about $15.

Have you tried Tula protect and glow sunscreen? I bet it would pair well with the Elf powder foundation.

Hi Shelbey! For sunscreen; have you tried Dr. G Green Mild Up SPF (Yesstyle)? It leaves a cast at first but dissipates. Totally agree with you on the RMS eye polish - it's not good for much; crease-city. I see your point on the eyesights, but had good luck with it over a primer. I was HUGELY appointed with the Ritual de Fille eye soots that creased immediately. Thanks for the honest review on the CT foundation - I'm not tempted. Not everyone loves it...I'm saving my $$ for the new Chanel No.1.

Hi! Can you review the new bareMinerals retinol alternative/plant skincare and their new powder foundation?

Funny you mention having gotten too dark of a shade in that CT. I'd been really wanting to try it & figured I'd be 3N. But in the store the girl convinced me I needed 5N!? It wasn't horrible, but wasn't right either. I later tried the 3N and it was much better. I thought I really liked it at first but after trying a few others it dropped off my list. My test to see how much I like a foundation consists of 2 things: It needs to "feel" like I'm not wearing foundation, and secondly I like one I don't necessarily need to set. Now that I'm older, I'm normal-dry so while I like powders, I don't want to have to really go in hard to make the skin look right.

I just looked it up because I am pregnant, and vitamin c serum is safe during pregnancy! 👏

Have you tried Eucerin facial sunblock? I have super sensitive skin and that doesn’t irritate me. Also Cereve has one that doesn’t irritate me.

My derm recommended LaRoche Posay Adaplene for retinol, and it really irritated my skin, even when I used the tiniest amounts every other day. I was very disappointed! I do use the Beauty Pie retinol serum and night cream and I never had a negative reactions for those, you should give them a try. 🙌

Have you ever tried Dermstore's tinted spf? It's all-mineral, so hopefully it won't irritate your skin. I'm not sure about you, but typically chemical spfs (like avebenzone) irritate my skin, but physical spfs (like zinc) don't--but they often leave a white-cast.. Highly recommend, and it comes in a smaller trial size, as well as a larger. I've also heard really good things about Mychelle's Sun Shiels Liquid Drops (it's a fave of Angie on Hot and Flashy) Thanks for the video--just the right length/number of products!

Kroger makes a dupe of the supergoop dry oil sunscreen that might be worth a try. I never wore sunscreen unless I was at the pool or beach because it felt too heavy and gross, but I finally found one that I love to wear daily and it is the DRMTLGY tinted moisturizer and the regular untinted sunscreen. I actually put it on instead of my moisturizer in the morning and love it.

The only sunscreen I have found that I both enjoy the texture and it sits really well under makeup is the Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer with spf 30. There is a sheer version as well and they are both very nice. Feels just like light moisturizer which is perfect for before foundation application. Unfortunately though, it is a chemical sunscreen that burns my eyes so I have to avoid the eye area so I am still in the hunt for my holy grail

Cerave is excellent

Ohhh, I think I need to try this SPF. I have a terrible reaction to every sunscreen I've tried. They especially give me itchy eyes and nose. Does anyone experience this?

Hi Shelbey, I have a lot of trouble with sunscreens because of my lupus, terrible flareup at moment. Recently had luck with 2 Australian brands. One is Hamilton, the face one, spf 50+ broad spectrum light tint. It has a lovely dewy finish. Feels like nothing on my skin. Hands down my favourite ever. It's in a 75g beige coloured tube. The other one is the cancer council light tinted spf 50+ matte finish, perfect for hot sweaty days. Again feels like nothing on my skin. Not sure if you can get Australian brands overseas. They are well worth trying 😊 I'm yet to try high end ultraviolet brand spf, everyone raves about it.

That maybelline mascara was awful on me too. It went on great and looked gorgeous. Unfortunately a short while later it smeared down below my lower lash line (despite me only wearing it on the top lashes) and ended up looking like Frankenstein’s bride. Currently the benefit magnetic one, the honest beauty and maybelline color sensational waterproof one are my holy grails. I’d love to know your thoughts on the newest Lancôme concealer, the teint idole ultra wear all over concealer. For sunscreen, my hyper sensitive and eczema prone eyes find the Paula’s Choice youth extending daily hydrating fluid with spf 50 is the only one that it can tolerate without stinging either the eye or the lids. I’ve found that many spf’s for the face contain SD alcohol (also called denat. alcohol) and that is the ingredient that triggers the painful reaction. As it’s a moisturiser as well as sunscreen it proves cost effective as I’m only buying one product.

Shelbey CT Review: “Actually, I don’t have a name for it”. 😕 How about a co-star foundation category? 😉 On another note, I so love and appreciate your candor and you are my go-to before I purchase ANY product for years. As much as I love the looks of CT products, I still can’t decide what to purchase as an “every day option” (most of which I try to find a suitable dupe for) aside from the pillow talk lip liner. I believe I recall you talking about Oyster Pearl eyes to mesmerize cream shadow years ago. Thoughts? Does it dry down too quickly similar to the RMS? It’s in my Sephora cart right now along with Colour Chameleon eyeshadow pencil in Dark Pearl. Any recommendations as to what would be best? I would really appreciate your feedback. Thanks for all you do! You are the best!

I don’t know if it’s just me, but it seems that like skin types, lashes have their own types! Some mascaras work excellently for one person or even a majority, but are a total dud for others. I have more sparse and fine - hair lashes so mascaras just can’t be wet formulas. That eliminates just about every Maybelline mascara! Loreal Age Perfect and their new Baum mascara work really well for me! And not too much lash curling. That’s A great way to lose lashes and make any mascara a fail on my lashes.

Your skin looks amazing compared to a month ago. I hope you are more careful with hyaluronic acid .. vitamin c is better for your skin type.
