HOLY GRAIL: Basics Edition

[nayoungnaomi]

What brush do you use to contour with your Dolce and Gabbana compact?

[LatelyCaitie]

Love this video, and man you blasted through those products. I like that you had a couple options in each category, but each was distinctly different. Definitely looking froward to the next HG edition vid!

[EtoileBaby]

@RAEview would you recommend the Lancome Hypnose Drama or the Hypnose Doll Lashes for a more cute / natural everyday look?

[RAEview]

@EtoileBaby Everyday, the Doll Lashes should do just fine!

[simply4yoo]

When u use the Dior powder foundation, do u use it alone or with a Liquid foundation ?

[RAEview]

@simply4yoo Usually alone!

[respirationification]

Hello, ok, this does not have much to do with the video but I have to ask if you have a secret for long lasting nailpolish. Every brand that I have purchased seems to peel off, or chip. Please let me know. I am so frustrated with doing my nails and I really enjoy having polish on. Thank you very much.

[RAEview]

@respirationification Base coat, DL's Ridge Fillter!

[emmmNYC]

so you think the Lancome liner is better than Mac Powerpoints? thx!

[reginarayne]

yay! im going to purchase the POREfessional from benefit as well as the temptu foundation primers to use for my wedding day, great video Rae

[Amberlicious285]

Do you use any drugstore products at all? Are only high end products?

[victoriaindigo]

lol I have a sample of Hypnose Drama and I love it! Plus, it doesn't dry out and it lasts forever, same with my regular Hypnose and my Artliner! With Lancome I really get my money's worth

Next on my list are Eyes To Kill mascara and that Armani waterproof pencil. I have a YSL liner but it doesn't last long on the waterline.

Great HG list!

[Bothvong]

Great

[uyang81]

Hi Rae! I was wondering if you had any other favorites for tinted moisturizer? Thanks!!

[RAEview]

@uyang81 The Chantecaille tinted moisturizer is my favorite regular tinted moisturizer :)

[KittyxLava]

MTV Fora brought me here :3

[RAEview]

@KittyxLava Awesome! Thanks for stopping by :)

[HappilyKylie]

I'm so glad you're the only one that I can rely on the products reviews. + you're beautiful.

By any chance do you know where can I buy the Armani waterproof pencil in black?

For the YSL eyeliner faux cils, what brand of brush do you recommend I should use with it?

You're the best!

Thank you so much!

[vancouver2chic]

Rae, thank you for yet another informative video! I am torn between the Guerlain pressed powder and the Lancome pressed you talked about. Is Guerlain really worth the extra dough in your opinion? How is it better than Lancome's. Thanks!

[LoveRhoni]

all of your bolder make up look so wonderfully casual somehow on you. like if i saw you at the mall with this look i wouldnt think it was too much, if that makes sense. i got that lancome green pallette because of you :) love your videos!

[gracypooh79]

Hi Rae, I love all your videos! It is a very informative especially to a consumer like me who is passionate about cosmetics. Anyways, I was wondering, I have lashes that droops down. Do you have to buy waterproof mascara to hold the curls? The Armani SA told me that it is not true that waterproof mascaras are "THE" only products that hold the lash curls. What is your recommendation? Armani Eyes to Kill with our without waterproof?

[sw3ety4u82]

Hi Rae,

I want to get the D&G powder foundation but I'm not sure what color will match me. I'm currently NC20. Will the color 100 warm for me? Thank You.

[sw3ety4u82]

Hi Rae,

I'd like to try D&G powder foundation but I'm

not sure which color would be right for me. Right now I'm NC20. Do you think I should get the lightest which is 100 warm?

Thank You.

[monikev24]

I love your videos! I think you have such great taste in the products that you choose! I can't wait to see what you pick for eyeshadows and blushes and things like that!

[janetchoi21]

what about HG liquid foundations?

[liiteratii]

I really appreciate this super thorough and informative video, Rae! With higher end products, since most of us now have to watch our budgets more closely, it is especially useful to have in-depth feedback from someone who clearly knows what she's talking about :)

About the Shu lash curler, would you suggest I get it even though I mainly only wear mascara on a daily basis? (I have Asian lashes, but they're ok in terms of curl/length)

[RAEview]

@liiteratii If you wear only mascara regularly, then I absolutely recommend it! It makes a huge difference :)

[Saranghamni]

Thanks for sharing!

[krn4eva1]

This is probably one of my favorite videos from you lol :)

[MsLovin2010]

Your makeup looks very pretty.

[asiamarieee]

Hi Rae!

Would you use the Glitter Glue for some of the shades in the Naked palette? Or would the NARS primer be fine?

Thanks for the videos! :)

[RAEview]

@asiamarieee Yes, with anything with high glitter content!

[TheHajimakeup]

beautiful eye makeup

[ThePita122]

how bout holy grail liquid foundations?

[8OBHRZ]

Great, great, great video! Can you do a BB cream, skin care, hair care/styling, nail care and brushes/tools edition? Thank you! x

[tubefbtweet]

seriously considering that tinted moisturizer...by the way, I got the peter thomas roth acne gel you recommended and it's awesome! thanks for the recommendation :)))

[RAEview]

@tubefbtweet You're very welcome!

[flamingopink9]

Great picks!! Love a lot of these products myself.

[oOxStrawberriesxOo]

could you do a review on those lenses please? Do you like them better than the tri color grey?

[BirdieMA21]

I've tried the Lancome art liner, and it was my favorite. But my friend told me about the Kat Von D tattoo liner, and for close to half the price, It's my new favorite! It's extremely precise and works pretty well on my oily eyelids. (:

[billybilly2050]

Which contacts exactly are you using , there two geo three tones grey. And neither look like yours :(

[BethanyGayle26]

SOOO MANY THINGS I WANT TO TRY ahhh soooo overwhelmed, in a good way;) hahaha what to buy, what to buy...hm.

[papergirrl]

Very helpful thank you!

[G19410x]

dont you own any drugstore brands? not being funny or anything but not everyone can afford high end..

[RAEview]

@unevieglamour I think Chanel is the best designer brand in overall quality but yes, my HGs are all over the place :)

[heyitseileen]

can you do a video including drugstore products? because i feel like all the products you show are high end all the time! ):

[RAEview]

@heyitseileen That is the whole premise of this channel. And again, I will be filming a drugstore favorites video soon. Please be patient!

[pumpkinlumkins]

Can you give me a link to where i may possibly buy the Dolce & Gabbana carmel 110 perfect finish powder foundation?

[RAEview]

@pumpkinlumkins Saks

[llJecikall]

Hi, how did you get the dior blush? I've called makeup counters at Nordstroms and Bloomingdales here and they all say that they haven't heard anything about the blushes :( I live in Atlanta. Do you know where I can get my hands on one? It's so pretty!

[RAEview]

@llJecikall It's a Dior boutique exclusive. Check on their official site!

[teejaycs]

Hi Rae. Can you please do a video on Burberry Spring 2012? Thx.

[RAEview]

@teejaycs I only purchased one piece from that collection and I'll review it on my blog later this week!

[sanderella218]

OOPS, i meant, to touch up my make up..not SET.. .sorry

[sanderella218]

hi rae,

i notice that during the day, the area around my nose gets extremely oily.

i was looking for a pressed powder that i could use to set my make up in place during the day.

i am 18 and i have dry-combination skin.

thanks.

[RAEview]

@sanderella218 Try the Lancome pressed powder I showed in the video.

[parisvioletha]

yaaaaaaaay I can't afford this n_n LOL

[sdkid90]

8:55 an invisible force yanked the tube out of her hand

[babyboox1616]

I love your reviews, they're pretty detailed. Fantastic speaker as always and you are so gorgeous! I gonna buy the Hypnose Drama mascara for sure. :)

[RAEview]

@babyboox1616 Yes, definitely give it a try!

[EtoileBaby]

@RAEview I LOVE your shirt! Where did you get it?!

[RAEview]

@EtoileBaby My shirt is actually a men's sweater from Penguin :)

[MsCat3333]

Wow, there is NO CHANEL on that list! Which is a slight disappointment because I originally fell in love (and amassed a lot of their products!) with Chanel makeup because of you :)



[RAEview]

@MsCat3333 Chanel is my favorite brand for overall quality but yes, my HGs are all over the place :)

[damarisfe23]

where do you buy your suqqu brushes?

[RAEview]

@damarisfe23 DollyLeo

[YCWSAD]

how do u determine when to use loose powder or pressed powder?

[RAEview]

@YCWSAD Preference!

[dempss1]

you make me wanna go try & buy everythinnnnngggg you showed! lol

[smloboe]

could you do another monolid tutorial?

[tehtehkitty]

cant wait to see your holy greail highlighters! when is that video coming?

[RAEview]

@tehtehkitty Probably next month!

[pumpkinlumkins]

:) what shade are you in, in the Dolce Gabbana powder foundation? I am an NC30 and I wanted to get a good match

[RAEview]

@pumpkinlumkins Please check the list provided [link in the description box] for all the product names and shades :)

[teejaycs]

Hi Rae. Can u pls do a video on Spring Burberry 2012? Thanks.

[victoriaannexoxoxo]

Ok sweetie, slow down when you talk. It's hard to focus and soak in what you're saying cause you're going soooo fast! Also, you say, " as you know blank blank is my favorite...." this makes new watchers feel out of the loop, just saying. Otherwise you're adorable.

[supriyaheartsyou]

wow..that's a lot of money for makeup

[dingdingjai]

I could trust* your recommendations... i meant

[dingdingjai]

Seriously thanks for ur effort! I feel that you are very honest and i could try your recommendations. And i think ive been watching your videos sice u start making them (thanks to holly lol) time flies. Once again thanks for the great videos x

[RAEview]

@dingdingjai Thanks very much!

[zoomeebaba]

Hi Rae!

Great video! I'm totally hooked to try the D&G powder foundation and Tan blush! U introduced me to the La Mer treatment powder foundation a while ago and while I do love it.. The price is a bit steep! I'm almost out and I wanted to ask u if you know any dept stores that carry D&G cosmetics? I want to be sure I get the correct match. I wear shade "neutral" in La Mer powder foundation and in liquid mufe mat velvet + I wear Vanilla #35. Thanks for your help!!

[RAEview]

@zoomeebaba You'll probably be Warm in the D&G Powder Foundation. Look on Sak's website!

[c3cilia123]

Hey Rae,

I hav to agree with u that Lancome hypnose wp mascara is the best out of all.

Do u think the D&G power foundation is good for combination skin? My skin looks very cakey when I used liquid foundation, but it looks very dry/ no coverage when I use my lancome or R&R power. Do u hav any recommadation?

Thanks

[RAEview]

@c3cilia123 It's best for combination and oily skins :)

[beautybagg]

LOVE this video! Thanks for sharing Rae! ;)

[EimaOnairam]

I was wondering if the Lancome concealer cakes under the eyes or gets into the creases? Please let me know. Thanks Rae! :) I look forward to your best drugstore products video!

[RAEview]

@EimaOnairam No, it does not! That's why I love it!

[khaguyen0510]

I really really really wanna try the dolce powder, but I have no idea what shade to buy. what's your shade in dolce and mac?

[OMGitsRachelBabay]

You're beautiful and a very well spoken girl. Thank you for making wonderful videos<3

[xmselaine]

What product was the one in a gold ish compact for power?!

[RAEview]

@xmselaine The full list of products is posted in the description box.

[JumpinJade14]

Awesome video! Except I didn't catch the brand of lipgloss?

[arisusama]

What color do you use for shu uemura hard 9 eyebrow pencil?

[RAEview]

@arisusama Stone Grey

[nicoleeann88]

@surivu- you should try the Mac liquid last. Once it's dry, it's on for the rest of the day. A bit difficult to get off but it doesn't budge. It gets kinda tackyish after some time. But I love mine. I'm still trying to find the perfect pencil liner that won't budge. But so fat that's been the best for me.

[sapsarii]

thank you so much! ure my holy grail guru

[91dikon]

is it really worth buying such expensive items?

[kaguilar02]

Can you please do your best  skin care products!!

[sezzyberr]

What about liquid foundation? D: Do you not wear it?

[SmileyTubby]

Can you do a video on Asian cosmetic products? 

[LeiLei465]

Are you going to make a separate video for your favorite liquid foundations?

[RAEview]

@LeiLei465 Yes!

[cvaugha2]

Fairly new subscriber but am loving your videos! Very intrigued by Dolce and Gabanna tan...seriously in need of a good contour powder. Do you think tan would work on a someone with fair to light skin?

[RAEview]

@cvaugha2 Try Burberry's Earthy!

[memyuselfandi]

the technical terms you use may not register with some people

if you used intellectual vocab please explain it

thank you :)

[cmannequin]

Rae can you do a tutorial for winter formal? for people who dont want to wear too much, but still look special? and something that will keep you matt and sweatproof the whole night but still looks nice for photos?

[jenc0203]

where did you get your suqqu brushes from? i tried to find them online, but it seems like they're only sold in europe and asia!

[GoodDaySunshine85]

I LOVE the way the Mac 109 brush and the sephora collection natural hair foundation brush feels (both are goat hair) but they shed like crazy!!! Do the sigma f80,f82,f84 feel like this or do they feel soft like synthetic brushes usually do (ones like the MUFE kabuki brush and too faced brushes)?

[RAEview]

@GoodDaySunshine85 The Sigmax brushes don't shed at all. I stopped using my MAC 109 because I can't stand the shedding!

[chickenkiddy]

Love the video. Amazingly informative. In fact, I'm sure you put a lot of effort into doing this for your viewers so big thanks to you.

[getyourownbeer]

lemiter de bouty? you mean le metier de beaute? loll were you trying to speak french? haha but yeah it's a nice one

[cakezRme]

I like that sweater... where'd u get it?

[GlamourKillsTian]

where is your shirt from? :)

[BLUSHEDbeauty]

Where can I buy the D&G blush you showed? :)

[oshinsr]

I love that you post a list of the products on your blog. it's so helpful.

[coychick]

Loved the vid!! Can't wait to try 'em out for myself. :)) btw, can you please recommend a liquid foundation? I tried a lot. Haven't found my HG yet! :)) TIA!

[heartachetickles]

I'm starting to invest in higher end beauty because quality does normally prove to be better. Your reviews are very helpful! I also wanted to ask if you could do a tutorial on how to apply powder foundation?

[RAEview]

@heartachetickles I use a duo fibre brush!

[jlzubiri89]

are you kidding me with La Mer....how does she afford all of this

[Erikaelias85]

Someones knocking on your door.

[makeupstory]

Hi Rae! Thanks for this video, I always find that the products you recommend are often spot on for my liking as well and this was really helpful :)

I have black hair and brows and find that all brown brow colors that companies provide are more for brunettes and look heavy or fake on me, MAC's Copperplate eyeshadow is a matte grey that I've been using on my brows for the last two years in case anyone is looking for a cheaper alternative to the Lancome one you use.

[RAEview]

@makeupstory It's still too brown for my brows ;)

[icksickyuck]

What color do you wear in the face poweder by D&G cause I am also a NC30

[yuviecious]

i tried the YSL cream liner and it smudged on me =(

[RAEview]

@yuviecious Did you wait for it to set? You need to give it time to dry completely :)

[Yelloats]

lol is there such thing as a makeup news channel? I THINK YOU SHOULD BE ON IT! you are soo professionallly informative

[RAEview]

@Yelloats Thank you! :)

[mizstephz]

Rae! Thank you so much for always giving very in depth information on these makeups! :) truly appreciate it! <3

[yshu2]

Your eyebrows look nicer like this

[nynyny1314]

Rae I have always wanted to ask you, do you actually keep all the make up products you review in your videos?

[RAEview]

@nynyny1314 Yes, almost always!

[Michelle1616babe]

Hey rae, I was wondering if i only use concealer, do I still need a loose powder finish?

[RAEview]

@Michelle1616babe No, not at all!

[YOUWILLNOTshesays]

13:10 haha love the way you said it! Some people are just so helpless.

[jeherber]

yay! new video =) i saw a swatch of armani copper eyeliner just today and i need to get it.

[RAEview]

@jeherber Awesome! :)

[existencevs]

Try the pencil from Estee Lauder the Double wear stay in place they r fantastic!

[leeyah97]

do u have an opinion about the MUFE Primer for oily skin??

[RAEview]

@leeyah97 It isn't the best primer for oily skin!

[ginagurl00]

LOVE love love this video.. can wait for the next one!!!!!!!

[littlemissgiggleful]

this is a weird request but can you do a video showcasing the worst high end products, if you haven't returned them yet ? xD

[LifeDreamerM]

What color contacts and series are you wearing? Such a beautiful color!

[missangeluh]

do you use a liquid foundation under the cle de peau powder foundation?

[RAEview]

@missangeluh I use the LMdB Tint!

[cjx3pooh]

Have you tried the MAC Copperplate eyeshadow? Xteeener uses it all the time in her videos for her brows.

Also, do you happen to have a holy grail moisturizer? I've been looking for one that's moisturizing but doesn't break me out, I have oily-combination skin and a lot of slightly thicker moisturizers give me whiteheads.

[RAEview]

@cjx3pooh Yes, it's what I once used but my hair is back to its natural black so I stick to true greys. I don't quite have a HG moisturizer. My skin is constantly changing so I use different products depending on what it needs!

[nanmart4]

OMG I wish I could go shopping for faundation with you I bet, you will find the right one for me, It's been always my problem my faundation.

[fook1278]

How do u have enough money to buy all that expensive makeup?!?!?

[AFdancergirlio]

la mer....it's a powder called "the ocean?"

[sarahbeara1357]

Your the best beauty guru!! I love your videos! This video is awesome because your so truthful and you give us all an awesome description of these products! Your so well spoken and pretty too!

[anatran12]

oh no your eyes are uneven today. I woke up with uneven eyelids too. Aghh it gets in the way all the time

[b0dianab3auty]

So much expensive goodies

[ollicehunter]

Would you say the Guerlain or Lancome pressed powder is better for touch ups on oily skin? Thanks!

[RAEview]

@ollicehunter For touch ups, the Lancome. It's slightly sheerer!

[Arwaabdulla]

can you plz do a video on the best drugstore products :)

[RAEview]

@Arwaabdulla Yes, I've already planned that video and I should have it posted next month.

[JessZoeLethbridge]

Your eyes in this video are beautiful! Tutoral pleeease?

[RAEview]

@JessZoeLethbridge I already posted the tutorial! It's the Lancome Spring 2012 look, linked in the description box as well as posted as a video response to this video.

[daiserz89]

LOL!!! "people keep asking me... even though I list all the products below" HAHAH

[meganmyphoualo]

This video contains so much useful information! Thank you for sharing Rae! I'm just about to head out to get myself the shiseido natural black eyebrow pencil because of your great view! Have an awesome day now! <3

[RAEview]

@meganmyphoualo Definitely a worthy purchase! I've had my pencil over a year now and I'm only halfway :)

[thu8kim]

rae i need your advice for a perfect white/beige liner for my waterline that would not irritate my eyes and would stay all day do you have any to recommend for me?? :) and u r still gorgeous like always :)!

[RAEview]

@thu8kim I use MAC's Chromagraphic pencil and it lasts for most of the day on my waterlines :)

[amerz786]

you are absolutely stunning and so well spoke.... i love how truthful you are as a guru...... if you like a high end product you showcase it and not fake the drugstore alternatives which may not be as good just to please some viewers xxxx please never change :) much love from the UK XX

[Tingdali]

luv this video, I have been trying to find a good primer and concealer and your vid really helps, especially my skin color is close to yours right now.

[chunchr2]

What brand were the lip glosses? Very good review, btw! :)

[MissGorgeous79]

THE perfect eyeshadow combination! You look gorgeous!

[simplytunhi]

can you recommend a type of foundation? when you apply it, it won't transfer onto your hands, or clothes, etc. drugstore and high end please

[springfallrain]

Can't wait for the full feature of foundations! Thanks for compiling this :) Shu Uemura curler is indeed the best I've tried, even after trying others, I have to go back to Shu.

[amp1004]

do you have any fav sunscreen or liquid foundations?

[iambaam]

Thanks for your videos, your reviews on high end products are absofreakinlutely the BEST!!!!

[trlanthu]

I noticed in one of your videos on Guerlain you featured their Kohl liner, I love the idea of it, but is it only for waterline or can you use it as normal eyeliner too? Would you do a video on Guerlain any time soon? I've been eyeing their eyeshadow palette, but the reviews I read are pretty discouraging

[RAEview]

@trlanthu You can use it as a normal liner but it's meant to be smudged. It will transfer so make sure that's the look you want before purchasing it :) I'll be posting Guerlain Spring next week.

[monateo2001]

Love your videos Rae! Just wait to see the next part!! Please don't keep us waiting for too long!!!
