I'm actually trying to buy Ben Nye foundation right now, but am unsure which color to get (I'm looking at their creme formula). I am ghostly pale and was going to be Geisha, but thought maybe Fairest or Porcelain was paler. Does anyone know? I could really use your help.
i am an avid mac makeup junkee, but lately i've been branching out to other companies...my hubby just purchased the ben nye lumiere as well as the wheel...hope it's as good as you and other youtubers say. i also took people's advice with the makeup palettes [88,120 etc.] and my eyes have been swollen for some time now because of some mixture in the products. anyway, thanks for such a great review...decided to subscribe....GOD bless you, luv.
You have just proven my point of why I have never been in favor of MAC products - The Price Is Outrageous!! I Have bought a couple of items from them but I could never bring myself to purchase a foundation product because it was so EXPENSIVE! I am however in LOVE with their Smolder eyeliner! I have also recently discovered Ben Nye Products. I'm In LOVE to say the least!▐♥♥♥▌
I always love your make up, it's absolutely beautiful!!!
I use Mac but they are super expensive. But I haven't found any other foundation that doesn't make me look tanned or orange. Thanks for the review!! BB )O(
your makeup is awesome! and you actually know how to put it on (i don't...at least not with all the cool brushes and stuff! plus i have strange eye shape and my lashes grow downward asian style!!) i think it would be fun to hang out with you and have you do my makeup!! haha! yeah, i love the IDEA of MAC makeup, but not the price and the stigma of it. some ppl i know are snobs about it, if its not by MAC it might as well be crap in their eyes. psshhtt....whatever!!
I love Ben Nye's makeup, the one product I can't live without is there clown white pressed powder. There is NO better white eye shadow available. I have tried MAC, NYX, La Femme etc. and there isn't a more vibrant white than Ben Nye!
I dont wear much makeup because my eyes dont react well with it but when I do I wear shades of purple. I have to say that I just love the color you have on in this video! Purple is my favorite color.
I've always wondered what kinds of cosmetics you are into because your makeup looks absolutely flawless on your vids. You are so beautiful!! I know you are a busy mom of two and so am I. I wanted to know how you find the time to do your makeup??
It's tough. There are plenty of days that I go without makeup at all, but when I do decide to wear it, I usually try to put it on during my son's naptime, and my daughter goes back and forth in between watching me and watching Spongebob.
The Coastal Scents palettes are good--I've bought three of them, two for gifts and the Neutral Palette for myself. But the 120 palette that all the Makeup People on Youtube are talking about has a LOT more colors and is a great deal for the money. You can find them easily on Ebay. I'd reccommend that one before Coastal Scents, actually, if only because you get 32 more colors for less than the Coastal Scents palette, and the quality is the same. Thanks for the compliments!
Yay! Glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. Like I said, I do love some (okay, a LOT) of their stuff, but it's just gotten to the point that I feel exhausted trying to keep up with what they're releasing when. If they'd chill out with all the "New" and "LE" stuff and just do a few big promos a year with really new, unique items I think it'd be SO much better.
Your make up is soooo amazing!!!!! I love your eye make up sooo much!!!!! I can't help but just stare at your eyes!!! I am loving the purple and white eye liner...I think this is one of my favorite eye make up I have seen on you! Your hair is look gorgeous!!!
Aw, you're so sweet! Thank you! It's one of my favorites too, actually. I love to do "double liner" where there's a colored liner that shows above the black. It's so easy to do, too--I've got to learn WMM so that I can do a darn tutorial!
my partner works in cosmetics (he actually worked for MAC for years) and he totally agrees with you about Ben Nye. Ever since I started watching your videos, I have always loved your makeup...you do such beautiful things with your eyes. You are beautiful, inside and out :-) Blessed Be, Alex :-)
Oh, Alex, I just love you so much! You always say the kindest, most complimentary things, and I *know* you're sincere about it. Thank you so much, and Blessed Be to you! (And how awesome that your partner works in cosmetics! That's amazing that he used to work for MAC. I'm glad he agrees with me about Ben Nye--I just think the company is great, and the fact that they have such a great "regular" line makes them superior to MAC to me. BN doesn't have a new collection every 3 weeks, you know?
Hey have you heard of Cinema Secrets? Now that is my favorite and I did try the one you use now you should get a sample you'll love and well priced
