  • Thank you, great tip!

  • i got your advise too late :( i bought a shadow palette thats sucks!!!

  • you can really do that for drugstore eyeshadows.

  • Good tip,thank you!

  • where have you been all my life??? you always have such useful, honest info to share - thanx for helping this amateur! 

  • What happens most of the time is that the testers are of really good quality..you try them and they look good..but the actual un-opened product that you will end up buying is a totally different story! Bad quality and hardly any pigment.

  • I am so glad that you used a MAC example. So many artists and makeup enthusiasts swear by MAC, but they are NOT the only brand of good quality makeup out there. I've had several products that are exactly like MAC if not BETTER and I still had money left over to purchase other things. Wonderful advice!

  • you are a TOTAL G-E-N-I-U-S! :)

  • Thanks for the excellent advice!

  • sometimes i do like to have a more sheer color on the lid though.. it's sometimes nice to have a buildable color because you can have more variety of looks. but yeah, if it's an expensive eyeshadow then i guess it should be worth your money.

  • Awesome advice as always, thanks! ;)

  • THANX!

  • Thanx great tip :)

  • This was really helpful! I was going to buy beauty marked, but I don't think i will now :)

  • Great Video ! I totally agree with, the girl in Mac told me beauty marked would go great on my eyes and she showed me it and I thought that's gorgeous, bought it, got it home, and its like any other eyeshadow that I could have bought for half the price :( oh well !!

  • Great tip! Both those things have happen to me especially the shadow not being pigmented enough. It's super frustrating.

  • Sooo true! I get so disappointed when the color isnt as nice as in the palet.

  • so true about beauty marked. literally have to pack on with a finger to get what's in the pot!

  • i really like ur videos and ur accent is really sexy!!! xD but thanks for the video :)

  • What do you do with eyeshadows that are sealed and you can't swatch them to see the color pay off?

  • Sounds like a common sense tip but honestly, I've never thought of that! I totally understand. It would also be bad to have to build the color on your eyes since we'll be rubbing our eyes way too much! I bought a NYX white eyeliner for a very cheap price and it was so waxy that not much white came out and I was going over and over on my waterline and it irritated my eyes. Whereas, MAC Kohl White eyeliner was effortless and one swipe was so pigmented but cost more... but less damaging on the eyes

  • Great tip. And one that didn't even occur to me. Thanks. :)

  • i agree with beauty marked, iv had it for years and never use it :-/

  • Wayne, love your vids I learn so much!!! Do you know of any makeup magazines that I could subscribe to? I see loads of hair mags and beauty products mags but none that focus on makeup eduction and application SOLELY. Thanks!

  • wow great tip !! :d thanks

  • Love your videosssss!! I wanna see them all!!!

  • Like MAC's Carbon. The black in the pandora duo from NARS is much more pigmented and creamy. Also, so much darker!

  • OMG You are so RIGHT! That damn Beauty Marked and Violet Trance were such a disappointment. After all the wholw point of touching the shadow is to test payoff, texture, etc so why do we buy it anyway cuz we are makeup junkies, lol.

  • Thanks fo the tips...It's really helpful =)

  • Great tip Wayne! So simple yet how many times have we all bought e/s's that we end up being disappointed by!! Thanks! :)

  • Sleek eyeshadows come off EXACTLY as they appear in the pan even if you barely touch it lightly and you literally have to wash the pigment off. Dont give in to brand snobbery cz they are better than alot of.high end.companies x

  • @GlamAngelLTD I have a LOT of Sleek palettes that the colour in the pan is nothing like the swatch. Probably 1/2 of mine are like this. The colour that swatches isn't bad it just is nothing like the pan colour.

  • The mac eye shadows r trash. The other things from mac are good

  • ur so cutee love u and ur makeupp tipssssssssssss

  • Omg your adorable :3

  • Alquien me puede traducir pleaseeee?? :D

  • @gusa54 Que parte quieres que te traduzca?

  • You look better when you're unshaved :) nice video ;)

  • although you still look amazing, without the beard, something is missing...

  • Excellent advice!  I'm forever being disappointed by shadows & blushes.

  • good tip...love your videos

  • What an amazing tip - seems so obvious but it's not! I am totally going to bear this in mind. It's exactly my experience with MAC's Groundcover, which I wanted but NOTHING came off on my finger when I swatched it. So glad I didn't buy it!

  • I thought ppl were doing this already! lol I always swatch and like u said, if the color on my finger doesn't show up as well as in the pan, I don't buy it

  • you are SOOOOOOOOO awesome!!!! LOL

  • Thank you for very much for this important info!!! Next time add a couple of examples on your own fingers. It won't add much more time to the video. Thanks again.

  • one wink = automatic swoon

  • That's exactly why I sent back my NARS eyeshadows in Daphne, Coconut Grove, and Mangrove.

  • that WINK

  • Great tips. Thanks!

  • i love your videos. very imformative and to the point

  • The only exception to that rule is Shale from Mac! Gorgeous in the pan, hideous on the finger, gorgeous on the lid. Other than that, totally agree! Cheers Wayne :)

  • I love this quick tips! Ps: you look younger :)

    Greetings from Italy

  • Most colors look pigmented when they're on your finger, though. After you get it on your finger, you should really swatch it on your hand/arm.

  • I love, Love, LOVE your quick makeup tips!

  • Yr wink alwas makes me smile :)

  • Something so simple... and yet, one of the most usefull tips I've ever heart!!!

  • @itsMinuteMaid And, wow, all I read out of that comment was BS.

  • @itsMinuteMaid Take your trolling elsewhere.

  • I would rather hear your recommendations than swab my finger across some germy eyeshadow!!! ick!

  • He's right =(

  • This is one of those things where I say to myself 'common sense is very uncommon' yet i don't think of it. :P

  • Your tips are always so helpful!Thanks :) Have a lovely day xx

  • Love love love your tips Wayne !!! Keep doing what your doing :)

  • you're the best <3

  • Skin is fabulas here :) :)

  • You are really good, thanks for sharing

  • cute wink

  • all your videos are fantastic!!!

  • what skincare brand or item do you recommend to tighten loose "pudding skin" eyelids so this 44 yr old can put on eyeshadow easier? Please name a few, I have already tried several. Also, my dark circles are a problem I'd like to help with skincare, not just makeup. How's Obagi?

  • Good call!

  • i liked his videos everytime even before i watch them purely becuase hes male and isn't afriad to show what he loves 'make up' despite the fact users may slate him. i respect him alot :)

  • Love your videos... HOWEVER... a :30 second commercial for a 1:30 video is absolutely ridiculous. Please consider playing your advertisements only for longer video's. I literally groan every time i see your video's come up, because i know i have to spend half the time watching a commercial. Thanks.

  • you rock

  • awwwoohhh that accent =P

  • you're so cute .

  • I love how you brits say "Frustrated" LOL

  • great tips to save money and time building up the colour, thanks

  • great tip!! thanks!!

  • i think you look better with the mustache. but this will get some time to getting use to. great tips ross. love your quick makeup tips :)

  • Another great tip! Thanks Wayne!

  • You keep telling us great tips and I'm forever thankful for that! And I have to say, I love how you always write something like "Thank you for wathing" or "Thank you for your time" at the end of the video. You're so polite! Keep on rocking Wayne. :) x

  • thanks, that makes totally sense :D thanks!!!! :D

  • wow such a simple concept that ive never payed attention to before *smacks forehead* thank you so much for this helpful tip =]

  • I like you scruffy! :)

  • Amazing! thanks for sharing !!!

  • Excellent tip, thx for sharing!

  • Great tip! I never thought of that before!

  • I have some alergies, makeup with smells strong, and sometimes with the components of some products, So I always test what I'll buy, but some brands don't have tester and when this happens I don't buy never.

    Because my alergies I always test eyeshadows and I agree with your tip, some products needed to test, high brands also.

    Sorry my english...

    Xoxo from Brazil

  • Thank you always for your all your tips. I learned so much for watching your videos!! You're awesome!

  • Simple, easy to remember and will save you money and time

  • awesome, I never really stopped & thought about it when I swatched...thank u for the tips!!

  • I just absolutely love your videos! Such good information. :-)

  • Love your quick tips. I will keep these in mind next time I buy eyeshadow

  • @CatalinaXHeartcore

    Your comments included

  • some of these comments are so ridiculous and creepy. Jeez people

  • How do people not know this already? lol

  • shaved...but with a flavor saver now. :)

  • Have you tried the MUA palettes I love the neutral one but there's no matte there extremely pigmented though and only £4 I don't like building up it gets on my nerves!

  • you are so right i bought beauty mark from mac and your right ! thanks for you tips and trick i love you

  • Love your videos...so to the point,great tips,simple I have had this problem with eyeshadows.i love kat von D's pallette's when looking at them,but I find the pigment saturation is low and the cream tends to dry quickly even when i have them closed all the time I am not using!Are there any particular brands you recommend..either dept store,sephora,or drugstore?.By the way,I think you are drop dead gorgeous clean shaven or bearded and all in between! Thanks for all your great tips! :)

  • You look gorgeous clean shaven <3

  • :) great tips <3

  • Yeah you are so right about eyeshadows. I have found my self not reaching for some of my eyeshadows for this reason. Thank You!

  • when i bought beauty marked i was so excited but then when i tried using it, it was basically just a dusty black with minimal glitter. i was so frustrated! thanks for the tip :)

  • Good quick tip! I think tis even more important for high end. I wanted the Tarte for true blood palette, but it would take 3 swatches to get the real color! Why pay $55 for that when I can get Wet n Wild for way cheaper and they work.

  • EXCELLENT TIPS! thanks! luv u wayne <3

    btw: u look cyootness shaved or not ^_^

  • it's exactly what haopened to me today, it took me 4/5 times to build a color on my hand, ...didn't bother buying it.

  • You mentioned Beauty Marked as an example--can you please make a video of eyeshadows that you feel fall below expectations?

  • I love MAC's beauty marked! :p Haha, great quick tip. (:

  • HAHAHAHAHA. "I shaved. -sad face-"

  • You just save my money, your my fairy god guru.

  • Great tip thanks.....

  • Can you please explain to me how you have brains AND hotness???? The best of both worlds! THANK YOU!!!!!

  • really like ur quick tips :)

  • I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE U.....GOD UR GOURGEOUS, AND SEXY, AND HANDSOME, AND SEXY, AAND SEXY, AND AMAZIIIIIING SEXYYYY....AHHHH I´M SO ADDICTED.....OH LORD!!!!!!!!!!!

  • great tip thanks,

  • Ooo love the wink at the end lol

  • I have the same problem with another MAC eyeshadow, it's supposed to be a metallic kind of purple but if you swatch it, it turned into this smokey colour and the metallic is just gone. It was in one of the MAC Christmas palettes last year. I don't mind it, because I love smokey colours and such, but still, you expect something else.

  • I just got used to the beard. These tips probably won't work at the dollar tree :) helpful none the less. :)

  • Really helpful tip! Thank you Wayne!

    

  • Thanks for your tips videos!!! They´re amazing!!!

  • Thanks for this tip! I used it when trying to find a med green eyeshadow at sephora today. Only a couple held up to your test! I ended up getting Urban Decay's Mildew. So pretty. Urban Decay I find almost always stands up to this test. Their eyeshadows and mac eyeshadows are for sure my favorite.

  • I just love the way you keep your vids pretty quick and short! It is as if you were about to go buy new eyeshadows and thought 'oh good let's share what I am about to look for in an eyeshadow. Quick because the bus is coming!'

  • so short and sweet i love it......

  • He has such a sweet baby face though!

    LOVE your ideas! Every single time you put up a videos I'm blown away or

    think 'duhh, why did I never do that before?!'

    <3!

  • Never ever thought about it this way!! Now I'm always gonna swatch before buying! I kinda realize I'm frustrated with so many eyeshadows I bought so far!!! Thanks xxo

  • It sounds kind of obvious when you think about it but a lot of us just don't think about that stuff. ^_^ Thanks Wayne! By the way, you look just as cute with or without the beard, it's just that you look younger without it, which can be either a good thing or a bad thing depending on what you're going for. LOL

  • Nice!

  • Wayne, I think you look great either way beard or not. :) I love your videos because I actually learn useful things that apply to real people like us.

  • Genuis thank you Wayne =) I never thought about these tips before even though there sort obvious lol xxx

  • I love Urban Decay shadows. Wayne, you look good with or without facial hair. Thanks for the tip.

  • you should do a shaving video!

  • Great tip as always thank you!

  • very useful, that will save me money!!! thank you x

  • Can you give us your opinion on ELF products please, especially their eyeshadow? THANKS

  • LLLLLLLLove this tip!!!! Very clever:)))) thanks

    xxx

  • Thank you!

  • Awesome tip!

  • SO HANDSOME!!! So nice :)

  • Make sense and thank you again.

  • thanks boo!!!

  • So obvious, but how many of us have fallen for a pretty color in a pot and just ignored the fact that it swatched terribly? That's one of the reasons I love Inglot. You barely have to touch your finger to the pot and your finger is saturated in pigment.

  • I learn so much in such a short time whenever I watch your videos!! Thank you!! :)

  • haha! how did I KNOW you would say beauty marked? so true!

  • Waxed your brows too :D

  • thankyou , great tip! and looking good x)

  • What ever skin care products that you have been using it's making you look fantastic. Keep it up. :)

  • Great video's, but I had to stop every so often to wipe the drool off my chin. *laughs* Sexy!

  • For brown skinned women what would be some good colors that accent their eyes? 'I have both the warm and colorful pallete... :D thanks

  • Thanks, -- but doesn't everyone do this?!

  • My goodness you are a legend!! LOOOOOOOVE your quick tips, they are what they say on the tin and are always very helpful!!

  • Your the bomb! Thank you!

  • I love your quick tips! Thanks!

  • I love u :)

  • Excellent advice! If I'm able to buy in a store, I always swatch. The problem I have is that the selection near my home is crap; I have a Lancome and Clinique counter at my local mall, but if I want anything from MAC, Sephora, or Ulta, I have to order on line. So far, I've been pretty lucky. :)

  • Thanks for the tip!!! You look great shaved as well oh my goodness:-)

  • Great tip, Wayne. Thank you.

  • Comment removed

  • Should have thought of that before buying beauty marked lol I hate it so much!

  • Thanks for the great tip! I'm gonna keep that in mind when I go to sephora tomorrow!

  • Yes! Thank you. Putting on makeup takes long enough as it is. Lol

  • i always look forward to your videos! so helpful

  • Great tips:)

  • Good tip this would have saved me so much money.

  • omg...why did you shave? :(((((

  • thank u??

  • I agree with MAC Beautymarked! I ordered it online! I was so disappointed...it looks so ugly on my eye!

  • No se puede ser más guapo!!!!!!!!!! ;)
