- Hi, welcome back to the Adore Beauty YouTube channel
Amy here and today we're talking about some beauty newness
from one of our most exciting makeup brands,
Anastasia Beverly Hills.
Also referred to as ABH to those in the know.
But today we are reviewing these brand new products
from Anastasia Beverly Hills.
They are a cream blush sticks
and these amazing cream bronzers.
And I've actually enlisted the help of some friends
to show you what these look like.
Give you our thoughts about what we think,
are they worth it?
How do they apply?
How do they wear?
Are they worth the hype?
Are they worth your money?
So stay tuned to see what we think.
You may have seen this on Instagram.
Everyone is talking about these new cream
Anastasia Beverly Hill bronzers.
Cream bronzers a very popular,
and I'm not saying that this is a dupe,
but I have heard on the beauty grapevine AKA Instagram,
that this one from Anastasia the cream bronzer
is very similar to a Chanel one,
and also a NARS cream bronzer.
So the Anastasia Beverly Hills cream bronzer comes
in a bunch of different shades.
It is a natural matte finish bronzer.
So not shimmery at all.
It's designed to give a really natural skin like finish
that's also long-wearing.
What this bronzer is meant to do is mimic
what it would look like if you had spent some time
out in the sun,
obviously we don't get sun.
We're vampires here, we protect our skin from the sun,
but it's not meant to be shimmery or look like makeup.
It's meant to look very natural.
You can also use it as a contour.
So that is to kind of chisel out and define areas
of the face to add more dimension.
I actually traditionally find cream bronzers
really hard to work with
because I found they're not that forgiving.
And you kind of, you've got to work pretty quickly.
Sometimes they're hard to blend.
I'm keen to see what the sun is like.
And I'm also very interested to hear what Ruchi
and Amanda think too.
The other very exciting new launch from Anastasia
is the cream blush sticks.
They're designed to be long-wearing,
very buildable and easy to apply.
And also to give you a kind of seamless skin like
very natural looking blush.
They come in five shades that we have in Adore,
Soft Rose, Latte, Pink Dahlia,
Peach Caramel and Peachy Keen,
which Amanda has that one.
On the one side you've got the stick that winds up.
And then on the other side,
you've got this little blending stickling flat brush.
So let's go ahead and apply the cream bronzer.
- Hey guys, it's Ruchi here.
Today I'm testing out the new
Anastasia Beverly Hills cream bronzers and blushes.
And I'm so excited for this launch.
So at the moment, I just have foundation on,
my brows, some mascara and a little bit of eye shadow.
About my skin type, I have combination to oily skin,
and I do get breakouts around my cheek area.
So a little bit of texture.
So I'm gonna try out the shade caramel.
I'm just gonna use a damp sponge.
I'll try it out.
I'm really loving how natural this is looking.
This looks like I've just been out in the sun.
I don't want it to be too dramatically
dark for my skin tone.
I want it to still look like,
oh, I've just, I've got a tan,
so that blended in really, really effortlessly.
- Far out, more products to be obsessed with.
Hello, I'm Amanda Ramsay, your Over 40's Makeup Expert.
Now I'm 48.
My skin is pretty normal, seriously sun damaged.
And like most women my age and older
hydration is a bit of a challenge.
So what I look for is cream products, cream products,
and mature skin go beautifully together,
but isn't it gorgeous that almost looks good enough to eat.
Using a angled brush,
dip it into the bronzer,
take the excess off.
I like to use cream bronzers
to create a bit of shape and dimension
along the jaw line to really carve out the jaw line,
bring it down onto the neck.
It's so creamy and light look at it.
It's just gorgeous.
And I think,
subtlety is the key, it's light as a feather.
The texture is divine.
- So I'm using the shade sunkissed
which is meant to be for us fair-skinned humans.
It's very creamy, but also very pigmented.
I'm using a flat stippling brush.
This one's from Spectrum it's B01.
And so as you can see again it's like,
I feel like I'm gonna wanna blend this quite quickly.
Take it down the side, down the bridge of the nose.
That's without, that's with.
So very creamy,
very easy to blend.
So not as scary as some other ones that I've tried.
I also love that it's matte.
You know what, I'm gonna do some over the eyes as well.
Still not setting completely, which I don't mind,
because then it means that you can kind of
continue buffing it into the skin.
So that's that, I quite like it to be honest,
I would probably still use my powder
'cause I just feel more confident with it.
But this is probably one of the easiest to use
most kind of natural looking cream bronzers I've tried.
It also won't oxidise,
which is really important so that it doesn't turn
kind of an orangy and muddy or even an ashy grey colour
throughout the day.
Now let's do blush.
- I'm going to use soft rose as the blush.
And I will use actually the brush that's attached to it.
I'm just gonna go directly into the skin,
I prefer colours that are more warm on my complexion.
I would prefer blush tones like this colour
versus like a baby doll pink.
For everyday wear I just feel like it amplifies
the colour of my skin.
Wow, this is so pretty.
This is just like blending out so effortlessly.
You could wear this by itself on bare skin.
And it would just look like this wash of colour.
That's not emphasising my little breakout spot right here,
and it's not disrupting the foundation as well,
which is such an A plus for me.
As you can see,
it just really emphasises my cheek bones
and adds that really nice warmth.
They are just so easy to use.
That's the main thing they're so easy to use.
They look good over the top of foundation
and they just enhance your complexion so perfectly.
So A plus Anastasia Beverly Hills, you killed it.
- Let's have a look at Peachy Keen is the colour.
I think the most universally flattering blush colours
are those sort of peachy apricot types
they suit everyone.
So she twists up, isn't she beautiful?
And I'll just apply a little bit of that
feels a bit (indistinct) I think is the texture.
And we just use the finger.
I like to use my fingers with cream blushes
to really work them into the skin.
Even if you've got an oily skin,
this is still going to work for you.
It's pretty lightweight.
It feels weightless on the skin.
And like I said before,
it doesn't have that super creamy texture.
Beautiful, nice and subtle.
Even gonna whack a little bit of that on my lips like that
a lot, they are stunning.
- Let's do Peach Caramel on one side
and Pink Dahlia on the other.
So I appreciate what the brand is trying to do
by putting this little brush on the other side.
Great for travel.
I would like to work with a bigger one.
So I'm just gonna go ahead and draw this on.
And I like to do the little trick that Megan taught us,
which is to kind of line it up with your pupil
and apply up the side like that.
And so this side is the Peach Caramel.
I also find a bigger brush like this is a bit more forgiving
and you can see that colour is very fresh,
not glittery at all (indistinct)
but kind of that skin like finish.
I like it.
Let's do pink Dahlia.
Just for more of that pinky look on this side.
Line it up
you can also again, blend with fingers if you like
the brush is good If you've applied too much
because you just kind of keep blending keep blending
so that one's much more of a pink.
I really like this peachy browny tone on me.
I actually like both on me.
I think both look quite very fresh, easy to blend.
Again, you could use it on the eye.
There you have it,
got a pink on this side peachy on this side,
I knew I would like the cream blushes.
