My Current Favorites.

Hey everyone, welcome back to my channel. My name is Nikki La Rose And if you're new to my channel, i'm a celebrity makeup artist based in Los Angeles and in today's video I wanted to share a quick everyday makeup look using some of my current favorite products So to start this look I already have my foundation on my concealer and my cream contour So now i'm going to go in with my new favorite powder to set my under eye and in my t-zone So the powders i've been obsessed with are not new powders. They've been around for a while, but they are the Givenchy Prism libre powders. I have I have all the colors the brand was kind enough to send me all of them and i'm so thankful because these powders are Unbelievable. They're very pricey. But I in my opinion, they're so worth it. They make your skin look completely poreless and airbrushed they're They're really like magic powders. They're super super fine. They're a little intimidating I'll definitely give you that like I Didn't buy these for years because I was intimidated by them. They're basically four colors you mix together So this one comes with a couple different color correcting colors and then some natural tones like some skin tones I'm not gonna be using this one. I'm gonna be using the rose toned one instead So to set my under eyes i'll be using the shade number three. Voila rosé That was really hard for me to say just so you know And i'll be taking a little bit of this powder And like I usually do i'm going to take a little bit and pour it into the palm of my hand So grabbing a powder puff this one is from krylon. It's a professional makeup brand They sell these all over the place. It doesn't have to be this one I just I love the shape of this powder puff So i'm going to be working my powder into this powder puff and then setting my under eye So i'm not just going to use this powder under my eye You can see that I brought it up towards my temple And I brought an extra bit along the side of my nose and this is just going to help to Really brighten and enhance that cream contour that I placed previously before I started this look And it's also going to help so much with oil control. So this is a great great technique I'm gonna take a little bit on my chin And then the very center of my forehead Basically right in between my brows So i'm going to leave that excess amount of powder on the side of my nose and on my temple I'm gonna let it hang out and do its thing and bake while I do my eye makeup Okay, the next thing i'm gonna use is the master mattes palette from makeup by mario I didn't buy this palette for so long after it came out because I thought I don't need more Matte brown eyeshadows, but I really did like these shadows all the colors They're so beautiful. They're so neutral. There's such a must and they're so easy to work with they're easy to blend There's not a ton of fallout with this and the pigment is great So i'm so happy. I finally gave in and bought this palette because it turns out I did need 45 more brown neutral eyeshadows i'll be using this shade right here and i'll be blending it on with a 228 brush from azueva So just using a windshield wiper motion This color is so forgiving and it's so soft that i'm really just trying to get it all across my crease and a really soft blown out way, so I'm, actually being pretty generous too. I'm layering this color a lot. I love this shade so much Next i'll be dipping into this shade directly below it I'm using this shade right on top of the first one just to add more depth and to create some more interest in this eye makeup look Then switch into a clean 217 brush from mac I'm, just going to kind of soften those two shades and blend them together And what's great about this palette what makes it such a favorite of mine is it's So neutral that you could throw any color on top of these shades so like this could be your your base and like your your groundwork for any other eye makeup look you're going to create because by using Any of these neutrals in the crease and then like popping A bright pink or a neon shade on the eyelid or as an eyeliner It just gives you so much room to play because it is so neutral Switching over to a cream product again. This is not a new product But this is currently one of my favorites that I grab all the time. It's such a gorgeous shade This is the eyes to mesmerize it's basically a cream eyeshadow from charlotte tilbury and this is the color pillow talk and If you know me i'm such a fan of everything that charlotte tilbury comes out with that is pillow talk So the lipsticks the lip liners, she's got a blush It's so gorgeous the eyeliner and now the cream eyeshadow is so stunning So i'm going to be taking this and popping it on my eyelid with this product. I'll be scooping a little bit out And popping it on the top of my hand And i'm going to first pack on a little bit with a small flat brush. This one's a 239 for mac This is a great staple eyeshadow brush. I highly recommend this if you are You know trying to build your brush collection. This is one that I would definitely recommend you pick up This color is just so beautiful. It's like a blush tone It's kind of rosy, but it's more like a moth blush tone. You could definitely apply this with your fingertips as well But I do prefer to Pack it onto my eyelid with a brush I'm gonna go back to my 217 for mac and just really lightly blend my crease Now switch into a 230 luxe pencil brush from zueva Taking that same cream charlotte tilbury eyeshadow I'm gonna bring this on my bottom lash line I think like the best way to describe this color is it's just like a really soft romantic shade like it just looks romantic and pretty on Moving on i'll be using the revlon so fierce vinyl eyeliner in the shade mighty mocha So you'll probably recognize this if you saw my drugstore makeup tutorial. I picked this up for that look and I was so Impressed with this eyeliner. I've literally been wearing it every single day Since I filmed that video. It's so good It's super long wearing the dark brown. It's so rich and pigmented. It's just a great formula So i'll be using this to Tightline my top lash line and i'm also going to do some of my bottom lash line with this as well and now i'm going to take this and coat that inner corner of my top and bottom lash line And i'm going to bring it outside my lash line just a little bit. I don't want this to be a Super eyeliner focused look. I just want to be like soft defined So you can see I extended it out just a teeny bit a lot less than what you're probably used to seeing me do Which is usually like a full-on winged liner, but I am going to smudge it just a little bit So i'm taking now a 226 smudger brush from zoeva. I love this brush I have like five of them because they're so good. I highly recommend this if you Ever need a good smudger brush. This makes it so easy to smudge out your shadows and your eyeliners So i'll be taking this and so i'm not trying to create a wing I just want to extend my eyes just a little bit and bring them out and make them a little more elongated Taking that same zoeva brush. I'm going to dip into this dark brown on the bottom And i'm just going to use this to set my eyeliner Moving on to mascara. I've been loving this one from freck beauty The brand has sent this to me and I have been using it ever since I received it. It is so good It definitely gives you a dramatic lash. It builds length of volume thickness So it also has lash enhancing peptides in it So it's basically a conditioning for your lashes, which is such a win This mascara is not going into my makeup kit, which is why you'll see me use that wand directly I am keeping this for myself. I like it that much so i'll be Doing my usual technique getting to the root wiggling it back and forth and then pulling it straight up So with this mascara, I do suggest doing one coat right after the other and not letting it dry down too much I think it's easier in my opinion since i've been playing with it It's easier to just kind of repeat the coats right after the other and not wait too long in between to let it dry down So i'm going to go right back in and do a second coat on the same eye Okay, so that's about two coats on that one side. And so I really want you to see like the difference this makes Before I finish my bottom lash line with my mascara I'm going to move on to a powder bronzer that I have not stopped using since I got it And it's not like a brand new product, but it's relatively new. This is the glow ish by huda beauty It's the soft radiance bronzer in medium So i'm gonna be totally honest when I first got this bronzer I was not impressed at all and I let it just kind of sit and collect dust and I just I wasn't going to use it And then one day I decided to pick it up and give it another shot and i'm so happy I did I don't know what my deal was originally, but this bronzer is amazing and the reason why I like it so much is because It's more on the sheer side. So it's like a really natural Just like it says it says it's a soft radiant bronzer And it really is a soft bronzer. So I love it, especially if you don't have like a lot of like powder bronzer skill Especially with like blending it just blends on really effortlessly and it goes on really natural So taking a fluffy angle brush. This one is from morphe. It was from a holiday collection set So i'm not sure if they sell these anymore, but i'll be taking this fluffy angle brush And i'm going to use it basically to set and enhance my cream contour that I applied off camera, so i'll be hitting the very top of my forehead just to set it and to Increase that wear time. I'm all about like anything cream that I put on my skin whether it's contour or blush I'm all about staying with a powder product to really seal the deal and lock it down so it doesn't move I'll be moving on to blush next and again, this is not a new blush. It's been around for a really long time I I think like years to be honest. This is from laura mercier and it's in the color chai I love it because if you know me and you watch my makeup tutorials, you know that I love neutrals I'm, just a neutral person. I love neutral blushes bronzers eyeshadows All of it. You can see it's just a really subtle soft pink, but it's a neutral pink It's not like a baby pink or like a hot pink It's a nice neutral pink and i'll be using a very fluffy soft brush. This one's from morphe It's the morphe jacqueline hill jh06 brush this is one of those blush colors where it kind of just takes the guesswork out of Figuring out what blush to wear with like your eye makeup or your lipstick because it is such a nice soft neutral you can really pair it with so many different eye makeup looks and lip colors and that's why it's a staple in my kit first of all, and then I also bought one for myself because it's just It's a beautiful color and I like to bring it up towards my temple and just make sure it's really Really well blended and before I put down this blush i'm going to take a little bit with my zoeva blending brush I'm going to just apply a small amount in my crease So to complete my brows, I already filled them in off camera Just you know, it takes a long time for me to do that So I kind of like tend to skip that step but to finish them off I wanted to show you guys how amazing this is and this is It's another one of those products that I Was super reluctant to buy for a really long time I even tried it out at one of my friends house They had it and they were raving about it and I tried it. I was just I wasn't impressed and I changed my mind. I tried it a couple more times and I love this product But there's a couple things I don't like about it so my only complaint is it lasts Not as long as I would like it to last like for me as a makeup artist if i'm going to freeze Someone's brows and I want them to like stay put especially my own brows if I want them to stay put and like have that Laminated effect. I want them to stay that way. So my only complaint is the wear time It's not the best. Is it impressive? Yes, but If it's a really hot day, for example, and it's humid outside or let's say you go to the gym and you've you've done your brows Your body temperature is going to break this down and it's going to melt it down slightly. So Sad, but it's true. It's still a great product and it's still worth mentioning and it has still been A big big favorite of mine since I started using it Using a brow spoolie. This one's from elf cosmetics. I believe it's two dollars. I love these. I have like 15 of them. They're so good i'll be using this and just i'll be scraping just a little bit off that actually might be too much but And then flipping my brush i'm going to take the handle of it to lay down and to really flatten my brows So you can see the difference to you like before I do this I just want you to see the difference between this brow and this one it just makes I don't know. I love the look of this. I i'm all about the laminated brows I think it looks so flattering and so pretty especially for someone like me who has really fine brows and they're not super thick This gives them the illusion that they're thicker And with more hair, so i'm all about it My other complaint if I had a complaint My other complaint is that Your brows stay shiny and I don't really like the look of shiny brows But like this is going to dry down more than what you see right now It will dry down much more but they still maintain some sheen to finish off my face I'll be going back to a highlighter that I used just recently in my spring makeup tutorial I got this recently along with those other powders from Givenchy. This is the prism libre highlighter in Arganza or It's so pretty. It's like stunning on i've been using this non-stop in my makeup kit. I love it so much So again, i'll be taking this and just pouring a little bit in the palm of my hand And then using a brush from the morphe collaboration with makeup by ariel. This is like a small blending brush i'll be dipping into my highlighter And just swirling all those colors together So i'll be just getting the top of my nose the very tip of my nose Whatever's left over i'm going to take this across my cupid's bow And i'm taking a smaller brush. I'm going to use this to highlight my tear duct Moving on to lips. I'll be lining my lips with the nyx lip pencil in natural This is another drugstore product that I love. I did not buy this for my drugstore makeup Look, but i've had this for A long time. I actually have purchased this lip liner this color in particular the natural color over and over again It's such a great neutral color. You'll see how pretty it is And since we're talking about current favorites I had to share this lipstick one more time because this genuinely has been My personal favorite lipstick ever since I tried it. I did use this in my euphoria makeup tutorial This is the givenchy beige nude lipstick This is a really soft matte lipstick and the color is just it's so pretty and I love it on myself, especially I think it's just a really flattering neutral pink So let me show you one more time Another reason why I love this formula in particular is that it's a matte lipstick But it doesn't feel heavy and dry like a matte like it feels really hydrating almost feels like a cream formula But with a matte finish so i'm kind of getting the best of both worlds, but this does stay put very well throughout the day So it's a nice long wear matte lipstick. So to finish my makeup you guys have definitely seen this on my channel It's kind of become a staple at this point, but it is a current favorite. It is the milk hydro grip set and refresh setting spray, this is Just what it says it sets your makeup. It also refreshes your makeup I love this either before or after a makeup application or throughout the day to refresh it I love setting sprays I'm all about them. This has been one of my go-to's lately for really good reason So that completes my look using all my current favorite makeup products if you love this look Don't forget to give it a big thumbs up and also subscribe to my youtube channel. I'm also on instagram I'm at makeup by nikki larose and i'll see you guys next time. Bye
