I have several of the Mega Pro palettes but they are too big and I have the Unzipped from awhile back. I haven’t used them too
much lately but I haven’t been doing a lot of looks or makeup. I see some of what Brenda hauls and I like the look of it. If I want
to buy something though I am going to have to watch other people to get a feel for the palette because she only shows a palette
once.

Re: Brenda Couture
Yeah it is hard to get a good feel for it when she shows a palette. Whenever she shows one I think I might like, I type it into youtube and look for other people's looks/swatches with it. Her videos definitely aren't very helpful in that aspect.

Re: Brenda Couture
She has all of these palettes but does nothing with them. She seems not to be going into the office much anymore. Why doesn’t
she play with her makeup? It’s her passion. I know I am constantly complaining about this.

Re: Brenda Couture
I wish she would do some comparison videos. Like "there 2 palettes have similar colors, but this one is way better quality." Helpful things like that. I feel like her channel could be so much bigger if she posted helpful stuff and not just GRWM and subscription bag videos lol

Re: Brenda Couture
Agreed. She has so many palettes to compare. It would be helpful for her to compare and contrast. Anybody can haul and post
and do GRWM videos. Brenda is capable of much better content. She seems to have some time and she has knowledge.

Re: Brenda Couture
It's probably too much for her because she loves EVERYTHING. I wish just once she would take one of those cheap Makeup Revolution palettes that's a dupe for a more expensive palette and be like THIS ONE IS CHALKY. THE REAL ONE IS SUCH BETTER QUALITY lol

Re: Brenda Couture
She loves it all. She could even use the dupe on one side of her face and the original on the other. Then compare. At the end of
the day do a quick check in.

Re: Brenda Couture
Those are some of my favorite types of videos to watch! Then you can find out if it's better to save money on the cheaper one because it's just as good, or if it's worth it to splurge on the higher end one.

Re: Brenda Couture
I like videos like that too. Some things you can save on and I love hidden treasures. Brenda has almost everything in makeup. She
could really help her friends and subscribers.

Re: Brenda Couture
Watched the Tarte video. I loved the look with no blue liner. She was a bit sloppy in her application. I think anything looks better
than blue at this point. I can tell she hates it though. I checked on YouTube and she got several compliments on the look. Many of
them loved the black liner. I think Brenda is the only person who loves her signature blue for everyday. I think maybe a lash line
application might look good on her. Has she ever just done a lash line application of liner? Left off the waterline? I think we may
have discussed that. Sometimes it is an easier look to pull off anyway.

Re: Brenda Couture
I agree anything is better than that harsh blue. She needs to have a lighter hand with that damn liner when she uses it. It's just so harsh against the neutral looks she does with them, it looks off. And it doesn't make her eyes pop or anything either. I get that she likes blue but she needs to try different things. I guess she doesn't realize how much better she looks without it lol

Re: Brenda Cou
Copper, brown, plum. Anything. I think she uses heavy hand too. Neutral looks are the best for her. I think Brenda wants to overdo
her eye makeup. Less liner and neutral colors. Especially for fall. I would love to see a different hair color. I guess that won’t happen. There are so many interesting colors and shades she could choose. She would need to keep them up and that isn’t one of
her strong suits.

Re: Brenda Couture
I would love to see a professional do her hair for her. A nice brown with caramel highlights or something. She would look so much better! She lets the grays go for too long, it never looks right and she always looks unkempt like that. I mean I have grays starting too and they annoy the crap out of me but I got pretty good at doing my roots during the quarantine months so I've just been doing it myself now.

Re: Brenda Couture
I think she would look great. That would be fantastic and was kind of what I was picturing. She needs to change it up. She doesn’t look good when she lets her grey hair grow out like that. If she isn’t willing to take care of it at home she needs to make trips to her
salon. She has had her vaccinations now and she can still wear a mask. Upkeep is vital. She isn’t taking care of her hair and covid isn’t the excuse it was.

Re: Brenda Couture
This look, again, would have been perfectly fine without that damn liner. Honestly even the DARK blue liner would look better than this ridiculous cyan bright blue she's been using.

Re: Brenda Couture
Agreed. What else can you say at this point? She got a lot of love on the black eyeliner because it looks so much better. That blue she’s using isn’t a good look. She can hold onto though because she’s stubborn. Just like she won’t take care of her hair.

Re: Brenda Couture
I feel like she is photoshopping her roots in her thumbnails to look blue. If you look at her hair in these video thumbnails, the roots look blue but then the video turns on and they're gray as the day is long lol. Brenda, just either hit them with bleach and put your color over them, or use a lifting color. They sell fashion colors at Sally's that lift at the same time and will cover those grays. I'm pretty sure they make purple and blue now, too. She needs to be introduced to those colors because it would be a gamechanger for her. L'Oreal HiColor and I believe Ion makes them too. Go buy them, Brenda. lol

Re: Brenda Couture
I really just can’t understand Brenda. If she doesn’t want to have her hair professionally done then she needs to learn how to do it
properly at home. It always looks a mess. So grown out. Why have a high maintenance color if you aren’t willing to keep it up at home? Grey roots aren’t sexy in purple hair.

Re: Brenda Couture
I haven't been keeping up with her this week! Here's all the vids:
I thought she made herself look like a clown in this one:
But then this one was even MORE clownish lol:

Re: Brenda Couture
I wondered what Brenda had been up to. I was going to look today but this place has kept me hopping. You have given me plenty to
watch later.
