00:01I ate it!
00:03Hey guys, it's Mi-Anne and this is Beauty With Me.
00:05What do you think of when I say the word powder?
00:09I think of face powder, maybe powder foundation.
00:12I sure as hell don't think about powdered lipstick, but I have some today.
00:16I've been noticing a lot of brands come out with powdered versions of kind of unique products lately,
00:22so I decided to put them all to the test on my face and do a full face of powder
00:26makeup.
00:27But before we get started, make sure you're subscribed down below.
00:30Hit the little red button down there so we can hang out every single Monday.
00:34So without further ado, let's get started.
00:35I have a very strange foundation to test.
00:38It is from J. Manuel Beauty and it is a powder to cream.
00:46It just like, you rub it in and it just turns into a cream.
00:52It's a very matte foundation, but it's actually a little bit tacky to the touch.
00:58I will say it doesn't blend a ton, so you do kind of have to stamp it on and blend
01:03in the area and then dip in for more.
01:06And I think it's done a really good job of evening me out, but I do wish it had more
01:09coverage.
01:10Alright, so concealer, I have a new product.
01:12This is from a brand called Pure and it actually comes with a little Pure spongy thing.
01:19The actual instructions are to apply the concealer onto the sponge itself and then tap it under your eyes.
01:24I'm going to try that and I'm also going to try it with a brush.
01:26I think it's a little difficult to build up coverage with the product like this.
01:29So I'm going to powder my face with this Pixi powder all over so that my bronzer and my blush
01:37and everything goes on smoothly and evenly.
01:40Alright, so moving right along to bronzer.
01:43I have this one from Lancome, never used before, but it is a loose powder bronzer that comes in a
01:50convenient little brush package.
01:52This bronzer looks pretty shimmery and a little bit on the orange side, so I don't think it's going to
01:56be a good contour bronzer.
01:57I'm going to try to actually bronze and warm up my skin.
02:00Ooh, I just got a burst of shimmer.
02:04I think the color of it is nice if you want like an actual warm bronzer.
02:10One that you can put on the high points of your face to mimic, you know, having been outside in
02:14the sun.
02:14I think that the component being in that little click-up package makes it really difficult to see how much
02:20product you're putting on your face.
02:21So I have this really cool product that I'm really excited to try.
02:25It's by Chanel.
02:27Ooh.
02:28There's a balm and a lip powder.
02:31There are a few ways you can use this apparently.
02:33You can just use the balm straight from the pan.
02:36You can use the powder on top of the balm.
02:40But you can also use the actual powder as an eyeshadow or a blush.
02:44So in this case, I'm actually going to use it as a blush.
02:46But I'm pretty sure it's fine.
02:49What was that?
02:51I actually quite like it.
02:52I think it has a very nice kind of matte finish.
02:54The coloring was really beautiful.
02:56It was kind of a pinky coral.
02:57I think it brightened up my face a lot.
02:59So I don't have like a weird highlighter today.
03:01It's just a highlighter that I've actually used before and I really love.
03:04It's by Dose of Colors.
03:05It is a baked highlighter.
03:07It has this beautiful marbling running through it.
03:09And I love the subtle glow it gives.
03:12So I'm just going to dip my highlighter brush into it.
03:14And dust it onto my cheekbones.
03:16Mmm.
03:17Mmm.
03:18So I have very oily eyelids.
03:20So I'm going to use a new eyeshadow today that I've never used before.
03:22But I want to see how it holds up on its own and how it holds up with the eyelid
03:26primer.
03:26And my eyeshadow today is actually going to be from a brand called Tipsy.
03:29It's called Two Drink Minimum.
03:30How cute is that?
03:31So this is the lilac side.
03:33And it has a little bit of shadow on an actual sponge tip.
03:36So you don't even need to use brushes.
03:38And on the other side is another color.
03:40This nice bronze.
03:42So I'm going to start with this beautiful warm brown.
03:45Oh!
03:46It's so easy to use.
03:47I think applying it is really easy.
03:49But I think I'm still going to want to use a blending brush to blend it out.
03:59Do a little bit of the deeper shade on my lower lash line.
04:02If you want to dip back into this product and you want to wear like quite a bit of eyeshadow.
04:07It's a little bit difficult.
04:08Like you have to keep dipping it.
04:09It's springy.
04:10But it's just so convenient to have these little sponges.
04:12You don't have to bring extra brushes.
04:14Alright.
04:14So I'm going to move on to a little bit of liner.
04:17Just a little bit.
04:18And I have these L'Oreal Infallible Smokiss...
04:23Smok...
04:26Smokissimi?
04:27I have these Infallible Smokissim eyeliners from L'Oreal.
04:33I think what I'm going to go with is the brown shade today.
04:36Wow.
04:36These really stay on.
04:38I mean look.
04:39It's a really easy diffuse line that you really don't need brushes for.
04:42But I'm going to use a brush just to diffuse it even further.
04:46So my mascara that I have is kind of an exciting one.
04:49I've never used it before.
04:50It's called the Besame Mascara Cake.
04:53And it comes in this little tin that you open up and it comes with a little brush.
04:56And a dry mascara formula.
04:58Kind of looks like a piece of dark chocolate.
05:01It is kind of the same componentry and style as a lot of the mascaras that people use in the
05:081920s.
05:08I'll put a drop of water onto the actual cake.
05:12And then rub this little brush in it.
05:14And use that to apply my mascara.
05:16I think it's supposed to turn into like a little bit of a paste.
05:22I really like how this has defined my eyelashes.
05:25I don't think it's holding a curl.
05:28I'm going to get my bottom lashes.
05:29Wish me luck.
05:32This brush is great for getting bottom lashes.
05:34Especially if you have no eyelashes like I do.
05:36It kind of is hard to work with.
05:39You kind of end up getting the mascara all over.
05:42But I think that if you used a spoolie.
05:44Like just run to Sephora.
05:45Get a freeze like sample spoolie and use that instead.
05:47I think it'll be much easier.
05:48So I actually have a powder eyebrow product for you.
05:51And they're kind of weird.
05:52It's from this brand called Blink Brow Bar.
05:55It's a powder eyebrow product that comes out with this little spongy applicator
06:01that you kind of put onto your eyebrows and fill them in with.
06:03It works.
06:04I think that it's a little bit messy.
06:06If you aren't careful you can get a little bit of fallout.
06:09I thought that was kind of a gimmicky product at first.
06:11But I think I was able to get a good look out of it.
06:13Definitely have a spoolie though.
06:15So last but not least is lipstick.
06:17And I'm very excited for this step because I have these clay cosmetics melting lip powders.
06:24And they're straight up powder.
06:26But I'm choosing between the shades Desert Rose and Hot Chaco.
06:32I'm going to actually swatch them so you can see.
06:36So I'm going to use this shade Desert Rose.
06:40Aw man!
06:40I got some of my pants!
06:42Ooh!
06:44It looks like powder in the tube but it's going on like a liquid.
06:49Super powder matte finish.
06:52But I will say that this lipstick doesn't layer over itself nicely.
06:56So it's kind of like do it in one go and don't try to lay it on top.
06:59I'm going to give myself a pat on the back for this look because some of these products
07:02were really hard to work with.
07:05I like the lip color, love the eye look.
07:08Do I think the powder is worth the mess?
07:11Short answer, no.
07:13Long answer.
07:14If you want something that's a little bit more unique, something that's a little fun to play with,
07:18totally go for it.
07:19I'm going to wear this for the rest of the day.
07:21I'm going to see how it wears.
07:22And then at the end of the day I'll let you know my final thoughts.
07:24See you then.
07:25Bye!
07:26Just got home.
07:27I've been wearing this makeup for quite a while now and I've got to say I'm pretty oily.
07:31But I'm quite surprised as to how natural the foundation looks.
07:38It didn't cover.
07:40I do think that even as I wore it, it started to wear even more.
07:44Eyes, primer side held up way better.
07:47Not too much smudging.
07:49I think the mascara smudged a little bit.
07:51I liked the way it came out, but the powder products themselves are so difficult to work
07:56with.
07:56They get everywhere.
07:57They got on my pants.
07:59As I was putting them on my face, I felt like I was breathing it in and coughing.
