I love all these comments from all these people wet for you hahahaha heaven, lol never mind the incredibly informative detailed easy to understand and spot on makeup advice, they just pop by to swoon.
OK NARS Is a bit powdery imop--BB is alot of hype, MAC is somewhat hype, yet as you point out a great color choice, which leads me to want SUMURE..LOVE YOU, YOUR THE GREATEST
@ConstanceThompson yeah but yaby is super expensive for a tiny ass eye shadow when you can get inglot shadows or nars and have awesome color pay off and a massive quantity of shadow... dont get me wrong I like yaby but you can get equal quality and more product for less... just my opinion though.
I would love to have seen you include Estee Lauder shadows in this video. They are great quality and even larger than the Nars. I'm not sure on specs though. Also, we all know about the longevity of MAC eye shadows. I'm curious about how the other brands compare in this category.
@babydollcupcakes I think u have to be a makeup artist or work in the field, and prove it. And I think thats only in the mac pro store. be careful buying so called cheaper mac on ebay, there is no such thing. I finally found one honest seller that actually sells name brand brushes for half the price(yes I had them tested, they're authentic) but it took alot of trial and error. I got a real NARS yachyio brush for about $20, incl. shipping, that was awesome
i love love love nars! i wish i would have seen this before i sat down with pen and paper and researched the very same items! you put so much work into your videos and your reviews are out of this world! thank you !
You are the man that all women dream of. Good looking, sexy, educated, nice, sweet and a make up artist. What else could any woman in this world want? Don't tell me you can sing and dance ; )
@aussiedonna50 I completely sympathise. Half the time I end up walking into Myer, swatching and testing, noting down the names and then hit the stores online.
lol when i saw your head line my mind was in the gutter I thought you were going to give men advice on how to get a bigger pene lol great video though. Good information i love NARS makeup
When we buy makeup and find a good deal because you get so much more product for the money,...then why is always said that you need to throw your makeup away after 3-6 months at the most? If I got a large pot of shadow and bottle of foundation, I can easily make it last quite a while. But I keep hearing about it gets old and the product shouldn't be used. PLEASE WAYNE could you clarify this? (Single user as in, I don't share makeup, no alcohol spritzes).
is the fist time a see a make up guru talking so much about shu uemura,i'm surprised,i agree with the shadows,they are the best,but u there is no shu uemura shop in spain,i have to get them from uk
I LOVE Shu Uemura's products. I am so sad that they are taking it out of the US, so I have to get everything online now and pay outrageous shipping :( It's not so bad since I do buy stuff from Japan all the time, but it's frustrating and you can't really tell what you're getting. Though, their pictures on their site are pretty amazing. I love their blushes the best and then the shadows. I just wish they had more colors like MAC, though.
Hmmm... I'm surprised you didn't mention Make Up Forever eyeshadows. As you know, the MUFE shadows are 2.5 grams - and retails for $19 (U.S. dollars). The pans are a bit larger so 1.) use a MUFE palette (which only fits 10 shadows), or use a Z palette as you did in one of your other videos. Perhaps you were not into Make Up Foever eye shadows when you made this video in October 09?
I'm not a big fan of the Nars eyeshadows, as you said they are crumbly and cake easily. I do have the Midnight range so it might be the problem. The eyeshadows I'm loving at the moment are Le Metier de Beaute. You can get them at Liberty in London. They are absolutely amazing, glide on very easily and I feel like you can mix and match any of the colours together. Though, they are rather expensive, think it's £22 and a quad kaleidoscope for £65. It's worth having few of the shade though!
Wayne, interesting review on Shu Uemura shadows. I haven't ever used them. Their lipgloss lasts better than any other I have tried, and Shu Uemura also makes the best eyelash curler, IMHO. It fits, then, that their shadows would also be fantastic quality. Thanks so much for your videos!
So glad you said what you did about NARS, I tried Night Fever and it is indeed too crumbly to work with. (Thought it was just me.) What a shame, it's a lovely color.
I absolutely love how the NARS shadow look inside the pan, however i've found it hard to work with. Strada for example is sooo beautiful, but when you start blending the glitters alll fall off instantly so you get this muted color. Ondine is the same. : ( : ( : (
not only do you get a lot in the Nars container but I find they are so pigmented they last for ever! Just a dab will do ya! However, they cost $36 here in Canada. boo :(
You are very informative and I like how you kept re-doing the comparisons (I'm the sort of person who tends to forget simple stuff as soon as I'm told lol), so that helped see the difference of each, loved it and I'm buying new product soon so I have more of an idea of what I want and what I will be getting for my money, thanks for the great vid!
love your vids I an a new sub thanks so much, I was wondering, could you do a video on application of different shape eyes. I have cat shaped eyes and it is hard for me to apply shadow correctly, so that I can add depth to my eyes. Thanks Again for all your vids, I LOVE THEM! Keep on winking, I think that It's sexy.
Thanks again for all your vids - I'm totally addicted! Just wanted to suggest Youngblood eyeshadows - they're very creamy and well pigmented. Can't remember pricing, but a pleasure to use. If you have tried them or do in the future, would love to hear your opinion.
THANK YOU! i was terribly disappointed in Night Fever, it just turned to ashy grey with a few burgundy sparkles. It was shocking as I already owned two other NARS shadows in lighter shades which I was quite pleased with. Every time I tell anyone I wasn't happy with the NARS night shadows people look at me like I'm crazy.
It looks like either China Blue or Night Flight. But it looks like China Blue because I have that exact shade and it is matte, but it is beautiful regardless.
The only thing when the "better bargain" - that's good if you only wear a particular look or color all the time. For me, I like the MAC, maybe not as good a "bargain", but I like a lot of variety. Now, in a perfect world, I'd have alot of variety of Nars or Shu Umera, right?
I love NARS, their cream eyeshadows are great too, it's just really anoying to carry the individuals (or duos) around that's one of the reasons why I heart my Yaby palets, you don't realy get a lot of product but they're so cheap for the payoff, you need to try them, both pearlpaints and normal eyeshadows, love the range of colours, the fact that I can have 40 colors in a custom pallet and their pro discount is nice too.
I would say they equal to my thumb nail but that only means our fingers are very different sized...jeje. Seriously I know they're quite small, but the payoff/quality and the price really makes it up for the size, besides I like them to be small too, that way I can have 40 in a medium sized palet that I can easily fit into my kit ;-)
I agree that the Shu shadows have the most incredible texture-it feels almost like a cream but is a powder. I love their metalli coppery-brown in ME 810. It looks great with a blacked-plum in the crease on green eyes. Wayne-you look great in that V-neck and I love your name because that is my father's name as well!
Great video, thanks. I stumbled upon your channel just a few days ago and you are already a favorite with me - I think you are definitely one of the better gurus here.
hehehe same same! :D there's something new bout him.hmm.. oh i see! clean face..right?! his freaking gorgeous and talented as well :) i love his winking ;p
yes, the clean baby face and i think the slightly unkempt-ness of his hair is very cute as well. and you're right - the winking is so charming. and his talent just makes him so attractive.
i hope goss doesn't mind us being all fangirly in his comment section. :) so embarrassing when i think about it. haha. all in good fun though!
Thanks for the great info. I've never ventured into Nars shadows but have purchased Shu Uemura in the past, when I could affort it, and loved the quality. For those of us, who follow you, from the US...Shu Uemura Shadows retail for $20 each and currently I'm paying $14.50 for MAC. Not that great a difference for so much more product, and a great product at that. Thanks, Wayne!
very good point- but for those of us who like to experiment with color--- we won't get through the product sometimes before it expires. i am surprised about how many hold onto cosmetics post the expiration date. do you?
and illamasqua- a bad batch on their worldwide brand and product launch???!!! i find that hard to believe...
hi! I have just started uploading videos please check them out, and subscribe if you like them-also i would love ant tips on improving my videos! thanks!
Have you tried Inglot? They are in Westfield Shopping Centre and have a range similar to MAC. They are only available in Westfield at the moment but their make up is fantastic and cheaper than MAC.
I have/love Mac eye shadows, and I wanted to try the Make Up for Ever eye shadows. But after watching your reviews I'll try the Shu Uemura ones. Love your reviews and hope you'll feel better :-)
all my eye shadows are from M.A.C. ... one of my best friends is a big fan for NARS, yup~ NARS is also good... bobbi brown's got two kinds of eye shadows, the other kind is called creamy eye shadow... e... I guess that's the name... I don't know if they work well on my face LOL I use bobbi brown for my face, I love its foundation and face touch up stick!!!
I would like to try some eye shadows on my Asian eyes. I wonder that which colour to start for base and contouring. I think I just need 2 shades first. Any recommendation? Maybe brown shades?
I love Nars shadows, and I agree about the Night series - way too crumbly... With a Mac Pro discount, do you get discount on the normal Mac range too? xoxo
Very useful video. I think many people just look at the price & not necessarily what they're getting for their money. :-( You are so right about Shu Uemura eye shadows. I've never really seen anyone talk about these but I love using them on myself and on clients. Amazing to work with... Never disappointing! I actually really love certain Urban Decay eye shadows as well. As I brand, I personally feel its a little over rated but their eye products are pretty good. Have you tried any? x
good review... makes me think twice when i look for product :) the Illamasqua case could you do a review on them again and did you mange to exchange them? thx
fantastic video as always, very pleased to find your channel, how refreshing!! i love estee lauder eyeshadows (prior to pay-day of course), especially their blues, even though they don't particularly suit me! do you find blue shadow really doesn't photograph well with a flash? you must check out the sleek palettes! i got the recommendation by the pixiwoo channel and they are amazingly creamy, pigmented, and very shimmery; crazy value! for what it's worth, it's ok to check them out once?
thanks for sharing, i have never tried shu uemura products before but now i think i would like to try it. which store stock them? can you please do a review of Body shop products, ie makeup and brushes. many thanks
thanks. still a bit undecided. want to buy from mostly one brand if i can so i can store everything neatly.now i might try shu uemura. always helpful. for some reason i always feel i can trust your judgement and i can. maybe its because you have experience with older women. you really know your stuff and you have taught me so much. thankyou. iam a bit addicted. i cant wait to see you have a new video. you have sparked passion to learn makeup. so thanks xxx
criostiona: I've never had an issue with the eye shadows I've gotten although I agree they're not the easiest to work with. Illamasqua is a new brand so hopefully they'll learn from their mistakes & bring the products up to a better standard over time. MAC has been around since 1985, I believe & even now some of their eye shadows are awful! I do love Illamasqua on the whole but there's definitely room for improvement. Let's hope someone is reading our comments & taking them on board. :-)
Thanks for doing the math so we don't have to. Among the less expensive shadows I like ELF. They come in both cream and powder formulas. You have to build to get the most color payoff but for the price, it's totally worth it.
I noticed when checking my NARS they have 2 different sizes. Some are 3.5 and some are 2.2. I also noticed the NARS night series are all 3.5, NARS more matte shadows are 3.5, but the more glitterly ones like Tropic and Galapagos are 2.2. I plan to check Sephora to see if there is some pattern to which ones are 2.2 and 3.5. If you notice a pattern.. please let me know. :)
Great video. I never even thought about that recently, but since I am looking into some more colors this makes me think about getting more NARS with the FnF sale Sephora plans to have. I love NARS and now have a reason to get more. I will have to check out Bobbi Brown too. Thanks Wayne. :)
i know that this video is about size and qunatity but I belive that coastal scents eyeshadows offer great pigmentation large range of color and are offered at low low prizes
I tried Illamasque's concealer & the MUA helping said this colour looks good. I tried it the next day. Before I left for work my sister said that I looked really tired! I took off the concealer and she said that I looked so much better. The colour was too dark! I must remember not to listen to MUA's at Illumasque. Like U I want my money back! I will definitely not go back and buy their concealer and for this reason I will not try their foundation or other products! Any one else had problems?
This is a really useful video. It's opened my horizons. When I go to Selfridges I'll be more open to sample other ranges. I'm bit of a MAC girl....I'm an NC50. I love their pigment "Push the Edge". It's a deep and beautiful purple. Pigments are good value you get 4.3g for £15. I visited their Foubert Street Pro shop and a MUA was wearing this colour...it's beautiful. I had to buy it from Selfridges as they were sold out! I also love "Rule", 4 me it's great at blending other colours. :)
Hmm size matters Wayne! You sexy thing you!!! Your voice sounds so sexy I must agree with the people here. Sigh...wish you can whisper in my ear alll niiiiight
Your voice is super sexy in this video. Of course also in your other videos. but in this one i couldn't get enough of your voice. it was just so sexy. lol.
Anything able to put put in a pallet should be given a certain degree of higher consideration for the convenience. I don't know about anyone else, but I do NOT want to haul 60-80 single shadows to a model shoot....;(
First choice would be Bobbi Brown for me, but with the MACPRO, she is easily trumped for cost efficiency. When others do pallets, I'll be happy to add them to my pro kit;)
Get a cold more often;) Your voice sounds heavenly! lol
Great comparison. I've heard you mention Ben Nye in past videos. I have one of their matte palettes and the pans are pretty nice at 3.5grams ea.. I'd love to know how you'd rate Ben Nye amongst this list. Thanks!
Hey! I just got my first UD shadows in the book of shadows vol II and theyre super creamy too...but nothing beats bobbi brown and nars...totally right! I love your comparisons! Saved me a lot of money when I was going to get Mac concelaer before, I got the full coverage foundation instaead! genius!
I like that you focused on size versus price. I've heard a lot of people complain about prices, but when you actually compare what you're getting.. things look a bit different.
i always have thought size matters!!!, this was really interesting thank you .. hard candy-is divine.. i could not find it anywhere and to day i find wal mart of all places is selling it.. very higher end brand.. you must try the hard candy brand at least the shadows.. hugs shelly
I just Subscribed to your videos yesterday. Just wanted to say I think your amazing. Ive been watching all your videos. You give very good info. Im currently a cosmo student, and Im learning ALOT from you! thanks =]
I lurve NARS shadows, like you said, most of them are super pigmented and go on very smoothly. I would buy more NARS if they are available in my country though - so MAC and Shu Uemura e/s are my staples. And I lurve both brands. :)
I love mac and urban decay. I so want to try NARS and Boobi Brown. I'm defininately going to have to check into that Shu Uemora line you speak of. Nice. Great Video!
I just bought my first NARS eyeshadow in Mekong a couple of months ago and i have to say im a bit disappointed. The pigmentation was fantastic and it blended beautifully but i was shocked to see that a couple of hours later it had COMPLETELY faded away. I only use MAC e/s and that has rarely happened before. Maybe i did something wrong ! I dont even want to sell/swap/give to family coz its SO DAMN pretty to look at in the pot ;)
i love this shadow, and just done a tutorial with it, however, when used with a normal eyeshadow brush its a great dark brown when used with mac 217 brush and buffed it becomes a dark greyish colour - not happy :(
I totally agree and never really examined the idea but so true! I love NARS shadows and have a current obsession with them. NARS, then MAC then ILLa and then MUFE. I haven't used Bobbi B in so long but I've been tempted lately (fall collection)...I've tried Kat Von D and I'm liking the pay-off on the palette I have.
I've had rotten luck with shu uemura. I've tried several shadows and lipsticks and haven't liked them at all. I don't have a counter close to me so I picked everything from the site and maybe I just picked some blah ones.
I love bobbie brown eyeshadows and NARS...im going to have to try some Shu Uemura eyeshadows though
I like Nixie cosmetics as well I think they have some really good shadows.
I find I have a lot more LE MAC shadows then I do shadows from the regular line,thats possibly cuz new packaging or collections just seem more exciting ha
Thanks for comparing the amount of product w/ the price ranges. I've never thought to do that - shame on me.
I've only tried MAC from the products you listed, but I am personally a HUGE HUGE fan of Urban Decay. There's 1.5 g and it retails for $16 US Dollars. They're super smooth and extremely pigmented. UD e/s colors: 57 vs. MAC's 159 color choices not including pro colors. Sooo...MAC has more choices and I do love their e/s, however I'll still remain more of a UD fan. :)
Sometimes I would rather pay less and get a smaller amount of product because I like variety. Buying in bulk only makes sense for the shades you use on a daily basis.
Ahhh Estee lauder owns mac & bobbi brown and many others so mac quality and boobi-brown are just the same just different sizes and colours bigger sizes ect..
No NARS in my collex yet but do have Shu's P Beige 800 (pearl). Too vanilla for me now, I'm in the mood for vivids/ glad you think they're a decent value :)
i recommend Kat Von d eye shadow palettes. They are worth checking out. It sells in the states at Sephora. I don't know if you have access to the store but totally worth checking out! Amazing colors!
Great vid! Your always so amazing how you put things into an entirely different perspective. But, at the same time make perfect sense. Thank you again for another eye opener! Smiles.
I haven't tried any of those brands except MAC, and personally I feel that Urban Decay is much better than MAC. The texture is amazing and pigmentation is perfect. They feel almost creamy and apply so well.
I really do need to get my hands on some NARS though hehe.
I can't put my finger on what it is, but you look fab in thsi video. I mean you always look great, but today you're looking extra-fab.
Its surprising how much the quantities differ, but its definitely worth knowing. I've got a few MAC shadows which I'm always happy but, but nothing from any of the other ranges. I'll have a proper nosey at NARS and BB the next time I'm near a counter - thank you for the tip x
NARS is a hit or miss in my opinion. I got two duos: Sugarland and Jolie Poupee and the latter has beautiful colour payoff. But the former, is horrid. Like you said with the night series, Sugarland is crumbly and you end up with glitter all over and no colour.
wow thanks for this video iam going to switch to bobbi brown next for eyeshadows just my natural colours browns ect its jus tthe big £14 that puts me off.
awesome! btw, which are your fave nars shadows? i dont have any but would love to pick out a few. also, what do you think about laura mercier shadows? thumbs up, great videos :)
I've done a NARS haul so i'll explain in that - as far as laura mercier goes, i've heard GREAT things about the shadows, but i'm not paying £18 for each eyeshadow - thats just to expensive for the amount you get - but again, i've heard great things :)
I've just recently purchased a few NARS shadows (I mostly have MAC) and I have to agree with you! Most are really nicely textured and go on nicely with great color payoff, but the ones with glitter are rubbish:) I will buy more NARS shadows in the future but will stay away from the glittery ones! Can't wait to hear what you have from NARS!
All these eyeshadows are so much more expensive now :/

The only thing when the "better bargain" - that's good if you only wear a particular look or color all the time. For me, I like the MAC, maybe not as good a "bargain", but I like a lot of variety. Now, in a perfect world, I'd have alot of variety of Nars or Shu Umera, right?

dms0110 2 years ago
I love NARS, their cream eyeshadows are great too, it's just really anoying to carry the individuals (or duos) around that's one of the reasons why I heart my Yaby palets, you don't realy get a lot of product but they're so cheap for the payoff, you need to try them, both pearlpaints and normal eyeshadows, love the range of colours, the fact that I can have 40 colors in a custom pallet and their pro discount is nice too.
letybid 2 years ago
they yaby ones are tiny! there like smaller than the nail on my little finger!
hannahmei 2 years ago
I would say they equal to my thumb nail but that only means our fingers are very different sized...jeje. Seriously I know they're quite small, but the payoff/quality and the price really makes it up for the size, besides I like them to be small too, that way I can have 40 in a medium sized palet that I can easily fit into my kit ;-)

I agree that the Shu shadows have the most incredible texture-it feels almost like a cream but is a powder. I love their metalli coppery-brown in ME 810. It looks great with a blacked-plum in the crease on green eyes. Wayne-you look great in that V-neck and I love your name because that is my father's name as well!

Thanks for the great info. I've never ventured into Nars shadows but have purchased Shu Uemura in the past, when I could affort it, and loved the quality. For those of us, who follow you, from the US...Shu Uemura Shadows retail for $20 each and currently I'm paying $14.50 for MAC. Not that great a difference for so much more product, and a great product at that. Thanks, Wayne!

very good point- but for those of us who like to experiment with color--- we won't get through the product sometimes before it expires. i am surprised about how many hold onto cosmetics post the expiration date. do you?

Very useful video. I think many people just look at the price & not necessarily what they're getting for their money. :-( You are so right about Shu Uemura eye shadows. I've never really seen anyone talk about these but I love using them on myself and on clients. Amazing to work with... Never disappointing! I actually really love certain Urban Decay eye shadows as well. As I brand, I personally feel its a little over rated but their eye products are pretty good. Have you tried any? x

Illamasqua e/s are awful- no pigmentation at all. I think the bad batch excuse is nothing but an excuse. They need reformulated!
criostiona 2 years ago
criostiona: I've never had an issue with the eye shadows I've gotten although I agree they're not the easiest to work with. Illamasqua is a new brand so hopefully they'll learn from their mistakes & bring the products up to a better standard over time. MAC has been around since 1985, I believe & even now some of their eye shadows are awful! I do love Illamasqua on the whole but there's definitely room for improvement. Let's hope someone is reading our comments & taking them on board. :-)

Thanks for doing the math so we don't have to. Among the less expensive shadows I like ELF. They come in both cream and powder formulas. You have to build to get the most color payoff but for the price, it's totally worth it.

I noticed when checking my NARS they have 2 different sizes. Some are 3.5 and some are 2.2. I also noticed the NARS night series are all 3.5, NARS more matte shadows are 3.5, but the more glitterly ones like Tropic and Galapagos are 2.2. I plan to check Sephora to see if there is some pattern to which ones are 2.2 and 3.5. If you notice a pattern.. please let me know. :)

I tried Illamasque's concealer & the MUA helping said this colour looks good. I tried it the next day. Before I left for work my sister said that I looked really tired! I took off the concealer and she said that I looked so much better. The colour was too dark! I must remember not to listen to MUA's at Illumasque. Like U I want my money back! I will definitely not go back and buy their concealer and for this reason I will not try their foundation or other products! Any one else had problems?

This is a really useful video. It's opened my horizons. When I go to Selfridges I'll be more open to sample other ranges. I'm bit of a MAC girl....I'm an NC50. I love their pigment "Push the Edge". It's a deep and beautiful purple. Pigments are good value you get 4.3g for £15. I visited their Foubert Street Pro shop and a MUA was wearing this colour...it's beautiful. I had to buy it from Selfridges as they were sold out! I also love "Rule", 4 me it's great at blending other colours. :)

Anything able to put put in a pallet should be given a certain degree of higher consideration for the convenience. I don't know about anyone else, but I do NOT want to haul 60-80 single shadows to a model shoot....;(
First choice would be Bobbi Brown for me, but with the MACPRO, she is easily trumped for cost efficiency. When others do pallets, I'll be happy to add them to my pro kit;)
Get a cold more often;) Your voice sounds heavenly! lol

The pigmentation was fantastic and it blended beautifully but i was shocked to see that a couple of hours later it had COMPLETELY faded away. I only use MAC e/s and that has rarely happened before. Maybe i did something wrong ! I dont even want to sell/swap/give to family coz its SO DAMN pretty to look at in the pot ;)

I've only tried MAC from the products you listed, but I am personally a HUGE HUGE fan of Urban Decay. There's 1.5 g and it retails for $16 US Dollars. They're super smooth and extremely pigmented. UD e/s colors: 57 vs. MAC's 159 color choices not including pro colors. Sooo...MAC has more choices and I do love their e/s, however I'll still remain more of a UD fan. :)

bethblogsbeauty 2 years ago
NARS is a hit or miss in my opinion. I got two duos: Sugarland and Jolie Poupee and the latter has beautiful colour payoff. But the former, is horrid. Like you said with the night series, Sugarland is crumbly and you end up with glitter all over and no colour.
