Best of Beauty 2011: My Favorite Products of the Year!

[Alexsuper15]

Can i see your ass :) ?

[xlonelyxgirlxful]

u can pass as charlize theron's daughter

[beautyflower479]

Are your eyes lopsided? I'm not trying to be rude AT ALL, I just can't tell . . . .

[DarcyHeartsElvis]

You are super petty!! Model

[ccchackalll]

Fuck, I was expecting the greek dancer...

[saritajakhere]

You look like Donna from That 70s Show. :)

[Annabells117]

Thanks for the great vid! I agree w some of the other comments, though. You should branch out & try some of the amazing new eyeshadow formulations of different companies. Mac eye shadow is a bit "2009" lol

[lrob932]

I couldn't stop looking at your necklace. It's so pretty :)

[scizat]

ommg! love your eyes, pllz do a tutorial :)

[KristyBaby18]

you seem to really love mac eyeshadows, just so you know theirs alot of talk of wet n wild having a ton of mac dupes that have better color pay off, including carbon. thanks for this video!! <3

[sophieking1995]

Could you do a hair tutorial on this hair style please!! I would love to know how you did this :) it's so so pretty x

[aliciaxsmithhh]

Do you find the MAC MSFN chalky? i have dry skin and seen reviews for it being kinda chalky

[MakeupByAlli]

@aliciaxsmithhh Hmm you know I've never experienced that but i don't have super dry skin either. A primer might take care of that problem. It creates a bit of a barrier so foundation won't cling to dry skin :)

[HouseDiva13]

Love your videos.

[Curlyoureyelashes]

Hey, what r u wearing on ur lips in that video pls ? Ths ;)

[VictoriaSecretLover1]

I would love to try the laura mercier and makeup forever foundations. But there are no counters where i live. So would have to order online,but dont know what shade i would be. Im an nw20 at mac. Any ideas what i would be ?

[MakeupByAlli]

@VictoriaSecretLover1 Oh it can be difficult picking a color online..hmm. I wear Cream Ivory in Laura Mercier and it is pretty forgiving as far as the shade range. I'm also around an NC20 but I can wear NW...I just prefer yellowy shades on me. There's also a Rose Ivory which is more pink. You may want to google some swatches of the foundations, its not a perfect way to tell but I think it still gives you an idea. I know I'm not much help but I would feel terrible recommending the wrong shade!

[cavano253]

I think you're trying to say breakthrough instead of breakout lol..

[MakeupByAlli]

@cavano253 haha definitely.

[ilianaaubert]

did you try the tinted moisturiser by Laura Marcier? I was woundering if I should buy this instead of the primer as it comes with the trial kit. Thanks

[MakeupByAlli]

@ilianaaubert I haven't tried it actually but I've heard great things!

[ilianaaubert]

Hi :) Love your videos :)

Can I ask where do you buy your Benefit Powderflage, I looked on sephora.com and couldn't find it.

Thanks

[MakeupByAlli]

@ilianaaubert Thank you! Normally I pick it up at the Sephora store, they should carry it at Ulta as well :)

[debbi408]

great favs! another fantastic primer is Hourglass Primer (@ Sephora). it's expensive, but lasts a long time. helps keep me matte! and dries instantly.

[macmonster24]

great favs!!

have to try a couple!

[xdbqls]

you look a lot like the model Jessica Stam. If you know who she is... she's one of my favorite models. recently i've seen her on the cover girl ads!

[maxegirl]

you look like a gossip girl actress :)

[Jenny22gtv]

you are probably the most beautiful guru on youtube!!!!! Can you do a tutorial on the makeup your wearing please it looks amazing with your eye color and just beautiful in general!!

[KarenLCSmith]

You are wearing from J Jill, I work there and have the matching bracelet but it broke recently. Keep up the good work I am practicing your tutorials.

[KarenLCSmith]

I am so glad I found you, I love all your recommendations and you do such a nice job with your videos. I was also so excited to see your turquoise and coral dresses! My husband and I bought dresses from a yard sale for our first apartment and he painted one turquoise and the other coral! He bought round wood knobs painted them the same colors but crossed them on the opposite dressers. We still have them but reprinted them a soft dark red and put brass knobs on both to match. Also is the necklac

[MsMommarn]

Thanks for discussing different products. Lately it seems like others are repeating the same junk over and over.

[MEGAHITTFAN]

I love listening to you talk....and ur makeup techniques! I def learned a few things from you in 2011. Thank you!

[MakeupByAlli]

@MEGAHITTFAN Aw you're so welcome! And thank YOU so much for taking the time to watch!! :D

[vivaglamhishi]

U look like makeupbytiffanyD but younger even though she's young too a little awk

[dimplechops88]

We love u alli ❤❤

[sarahcsalon]

what polish do you have on in this video?

[MakeupByAlli]

@sarahcsalon Essie Steel-ing the Scene with Sephora by OPI Only Gold For Me Topcoat :)

[sarahcsalon]

I love you videos and tips/tutorials! You are my favorite to watch! I would love to see a tutorial on your makeup in this video!

[lolecranon]

I really want to watch your videos but it is distracting that I always have to stop them .

[lolecranon]

You say "um" too much

[smithpbridget]

Your makeup is beautiful. What are you wearing on your eyes?

[MakeupByAlli]

@smithpbridget Thank you! Some shades from the original Urban Decay Naked Palette :) Pretty sure it's Virgin, Sin, Sidecar and Hustle in the crease..that's been my go-to look lately

[olivia4394]

youre beautiful, I love make up so I have been enjoying youur videos :-)

[millertr87]

I've been super sick and finally got back to watching all my subscriptions and I finally made it to my last one! I always save you for last because you're my favorite!

[MakeupByAlli]

@millertr87 Aw thank you so much! Glad you're feeling better!

[333Sammii]

[1102Myway]

new video check it out

[makeup4311]

Happy new year to you. Please can we have a tutorial on this lovely eye makeup you have on in this video x

[PRiiiNCESSJASMiNE]

Ur teeth look so clean and perfect

[MsKimiKiwi]

Loved this video! I always look forward to your videos like this bc you talk about different products than many other gurus :) its nice to get more ideas than the run of the mill stuff we always seem to hear about from so many others! :) :)

[latindestiny03]

I love this video it has such good recommendations. Can you please do a make up tutorial on the make up you have on because you look so gorgeous. Thanks :)

[rmo7779]

So after watching this I realized I have bought that round top kabuki, powderflage, orgasm, and brow enhancer because of your recommendations! Haha, love all of them. I just wish revlon wouldn't put the silly highlighter on the end of the brow wax.

[MakeupByAlli]

@rmo7779 Yayy I'm so glad you like them!! I know tell me about it...that highlighter is the most pointless thing I've seen in a while haha ;)

[MsLovin2010]

First video of yours I have watched and had to sub.

[snorg123]

you're gorgeous! so happy i found your channel, i subscribed just after this video :) xx

[PinkD1amonds]

For 2012 I want to "re-do" my closet...I hate going in there and having all these clothes with NOTHING to wear! Can you please do a tutorial that is a tour of your closet-and what you would say are the top 15 must haves? Just items that you have that you would consider staples for having a great closet?? Thanks!!

[MakeupByAlli]

@PinkD1amonds wow that's an awesome idea for a video!! haha my closet is such a disaster area maybe that will inspire me to organize it!

[MakeupByAlli]

@PinkD1amonds Love that idea!! If that's not a tag already it should be!

[XIIXMCMXC]

the sound is awfull

[sfsish]

My mac fluid line-black track is drying out !! I don't know how ? :S Can someone suggest me how to fix it ??

[mariaala1]

@sfsish Put 2-3 drops of eyedrops in the product and swirl it around, it should work like a charm!

[sfsish]

@mariaala1 hey thanks a lot =D

[JakeIsFine379]

i use the same revlon product for my brows, but it ran out SO FAST. not sure if i'll get it again because of that. p.s. yay for favorites vids! i feel like a kid in a candy store when i watch them. lol

[doglover999210]

girls, how would you describe her hair color?

im goin to the stylist today and i want a color like this but idk how to describe it ahh haha

[doglover999210]

you should do related products haha!

[ualemp902]

I love the MUF HD Powder also, but it leaves a white cast in pictures. Boo!

[liverlaugherlover17]

you look so much like Laura Prepon

[MakeupByAlli]

@liverlaugherlover17 nice! I'm curious to see her new show with Chelsea Handler..

[mariokonijntjn]

I would love to see a simple make-up look with mac eyeshadow in print and carbon :)

[HauteBeautyGirl]

WHAAAT!!...I for sure thought you were going to mention Amazing Cosmetics blush in Cinnamon Spice.

[DomaniE1AltroGiorno]

even mac prep and prime skin is amazing primer and dry in a few seconds. I have oily skin

[jackandlill]

Thanks Alli! I really enjoy your vids especially because we have the same coloring so it makes it easy for me if I wanna try something new you've shared - I can pretty much count on the fact that the same color foundation etc. will work for me as well!! Thanks again....Happy New Year - ♥ Jackie

[emeraldcitynow]

I use MSF as a foundation also

[mini0001]

I know you like the cargo bronzer but would you still recommend Laguna by nars? Which do you find more blendable and smooth because I have issues with bronzers going patchy on me

[shannongia]

I absolutely love the Laura Mercier silk cream foundation, I ended up picking it up after seeing you rave about it in a bunch of your videos. I have very fair skin, so the cream ivory is just a little dark, but I love it so much that I make it work by using a lighter powder. It really is magical... haha.

[dancroxmisox21]

YOURE GORGEOUS -3

[missmissybear91]

my mom works for cargo and i love that bronzer too :)

[MakeupByAlli]

@missmissybear91 Wow that sounds like an amazing job!

[pamelastephens73]

I must say, I was kind of surprised that you didn't include the Amazing Cosmetics blush (in 'Spice', I believe) in your list of fave blushes!

[MakeupByAlli]

@pamelastephens73 I knew I would forget something!!

[LegallyBllonde]

I can't wait to try some of these products -- thanks for the video! Your eye makeup is amazing by the way -- I second everyone's request for a tutorial.

[ironisugarschild]

Great video!!Happy New Year!!!Can you please tell me your shade on mufe hd foundation?

[opearsall]

Great video. I love how sweet and sincere you are. Happy New Year hope it brings you health, wealth, happiness, love and lots of laughs.

[NoraDlist]

Awesome favorite Products Alli. You have a Happy New Year as well

[mabjulieproductions]

@ZerkerPuresInc please get a life <3

[sbgitana1]

Have you ever tried L'oreal Magic Perfecting Base ?

[guardurheart22]

Can you do a tutorial using the round top kabuki for foundation please

[guardurheart22]

@ZerkerPuresInc dont watch her videos if you dont like her. loser!

[Sabastien24]

If you love that benefit setting powder for your eye area, you may love bare minerals eye brightener in well rested. I absolutely love it.

[my3kiddosandhis]

Your so Beautiful hon!!! Thank you for all the wonderful Videos that you have made, It's been a great year and 2012 is going to be even better. Can't wait to continue on watching and learning from you, Happy New Year and many Blessings for you and your family...

[bnelson52]

I'm surprised you didn't put a nail polish in there!? Thanks though - loved your favorites:)

[lunabelle86]

I love MakeupForever's MatVelvet+ as well, and was thinking about trying out the Laura Mercier Silk Creme. What shade do you wear in MatVelvet?

[grlzluvshoes]

I love how you use all of your products, and you don't just let them sit around to look pretty!

[grlzluvshoes]

"Very lost. In this big lonely world" HAHAHAHAHA Love you! :D

[MeganLouiseVuitton]

[Crazzy4cosmetics]

[undrethebeach]

[nai3li7a]

HaPpY NeW YeAr Alli !!!! youre so pretty and i cant wait for the 2012 makeup tutorials :)

[jadorexxbeauty]

[fluffycheesebunny]

[annaczxxify]

[beaniesmalls1]

[annlovessephora]

I really love how you are so pretty and gorgeous but not bragging or showing off at all! you're really one of my favorite gurus! thanks for being so natural and not barbie-ish :)

[addictedtopretty]

[Melmphs]

[scarlettstutorials]

Hny x

[magiKmalika]

happy new year!! alli you're great!! kiss from Italy

[nymphrenic]

Can you tell us what eyeshadows you were wearing in this video? Your eye make-up is stunning, and they look like the same family of colors that Charleze Theron uses, which I've been on the hunt to match because I have the same coloring as Theron (and you), and I've never seen any woman with my coloring use more flattering eyeshadow colors than her (and now you too, lol).

I totally agree with you about Tarte's mascara, best mascara I've ever used. Happy New Year.

[CassidyKaulitz]

I love your eye makeup, it looks perfect in every video. I'm also really jealous of you cause your eyeliner always perfect everytime. And.....Happy New Year!

[macjunkielove]

love ya vids so pretty happy new year xx



[Asofterversion]

Would you recommend that LM foundation for oily skin?

[amazinggule]

Alli, what color are you in your mufe mat velvet? Bc I use that foundation too and I'm wondering what color I would be if I switched to the Laura mercier one!! My skin color is really close to yours.

[blairhn]

OMG!!!!

I LOVVVVVVVVVVVE your eyemakeup in this vid!!!!

you look soooooo pretty!!!

pleeeeeease do a tutorial on this makeup look!!!

[makeupgrl24]

Mascara Tip: when you start to notice mascara drying up, try putting in a few drops of cola or another dark soda and it brings it back to life without ruining the product and gives you quite a few more uses out of it. It works wonders and is safe for your eyes.

Love your vids Alli! You're so beautiful! Hope you have a great new years!

[purplezebra1422]

You look so pretty!! I love your makeup in this video!! Could you do a tutorial on this makeup look?? :)

Thumbs up so she can see!

[cjordan919]

Thanks for another great video! I'd love to try the Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation, but the shade range offers NO options for women with dark skin, which I find very frustrating. Although, I am very happy which my MUFE HD.

Happy New Year!

[KaBeeBoo]

I find myself writing it all down!! Thank you Alli! Looking forward to more of your videos!

[mizztina83]

[symmetricalastic]

Lights Camera Lashes is seriously the best mascara I have ever tried

[stev9079]

does the laura mercier foundation last a long time?

[yasminahfr]

btw what is a lipglass?

[mcvc121]

@yasminahfr Go to the Mac website. They have all the descriptions there.

[symmetricalastic]

@yasminahfr It is a type of lipgloss from MAC

[erinblackburn805]

@yasminahfr They are Mac's lipglosses.

[theglossyboss]

[grnmtgrl]

[IHeartTurnips14]

[CharlotteSophiaSF]

You are the best Alli!  I'm so happy for your success on youtube!. You deserve it! Happy New Year to you too!

[TheMzCherryBerry]

I hope you have a Happy New Year!!!

[flusterose12]

wow most of your favorites are high end.

[kabbott191]

the only thing I would change about this video is get better lighting because I could barely tell the difference between all of the blushes you showed but I still love your videos

[risingwater]

Great video!! I loved the blushes!! I could never narrow it down to just 4 hahaha

[blondchick4]
