I NEVER leave comments but I felt the need to do so today. I absolutely adore your channel. You're not like everyone else on TH-cam that just shows us how well you can apply makeup. You're channel is so diverse and informative. You are always giving such great advice and as a newbie to the makeup world I REALLY appreciate it. I know sometimes ppl can be so discouraging but I wanted to just share that with you. Keep up the great work! 👏🏾😘
+Nelsbabi aww thank you so much for your lovely comment it means so much. I so glad you enjoy my channel and you find it helpful. I hope to see you in the comments again sometime beautiful 😘
You are a breath of fresh air... professional, knowledgeable, beautiful, and just incredibly nice! No drama, just great videos! Thank you so much. I would love a video on drugstore setting sprays. I have very "normal" skin and now that I am in my 50's I don't create oil in my t-zone. Ladies, there IS something to look forward to as you age! AND, if you have oily skin to start of with, you will have prettier skin as you age!
Oh Nikkia, what would I do without your advice? You bring joy into my life (haha get it?) I swear I watch every single video and I learn new things every time. The oily skin community thank you so much ! ❤
It irritates me so much when people especially youtubers, use the Mac fix + and say it's going to help with longevity and setting your makeup in place 🙈 you can't imagine how many people don't know what exactly it is
OMYWORLD Nikkia! 😱 You should be crowned the "Goddess" 👸🏼👸🏼👸🏼 of Make-up Advice for Oily Skin. TH-cam should seriously get u that award. I found you last year and ever since you have been so consistent and I pray and hope you keep up the good work! 🎉 I LOVE ALL YOUR ADVICE ❤️❤️❤️ and you are the bomb 💥 Thanks for all the effort you put in to all your videos. Super appreciate it & I'm sure I'm speaking on behalf of many oily sisters out there 👭 LOVE YOU TO THE MOON 🌙 AND BACK 🌏 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Have you tried "Sugar Puff and Fluff?" Sh'e an older (meaning early 50's I think, but could pass for younger depending on makeup and hair) lady from England. She has very good videos on just the subject you're looking for. Her name is Nisha. I hope this helps. I wath her videos and vlogs all the time. She's great and so pretty.
Your videos saved my oily pizza box skin. I used to think well it looks like I'll never be able to wear foundation ever... until this channel came into my life. Thank you!
Fml that‘s the BEST AND HELPFUL REVIEW EVER !!! Someone who don‘t speaks too much, answers the questions and just tells facts and experiences, nothing unnecessary THANK YOU !!! ❤️🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
😍😍 Love this video and all your videos. I have SUPER oily skin and have always hated it and NEVER used to moisturizer as I thought it made me more oily. After watching your videos they have truly helped me calm my oil plus helped me learn how to have my makeup stay on longer. You are truly a rock star for us oily girls. 😘😘
I have been using the skindinavia setting spray the oil control and I absolutely love it. I will be purchasing the slay all day once I finish my bottle. You are the only person I trust when it comes to oily skin. I am an oily mess and your videos are life savers. Thank you 😙💕
You said you prefer the UD all nighter setting spray but just in May you said you prefer the de slick spray over the all nighter and chill one. Which is it?? Thanks so much!
I love your channel. I suffer from foundation staying on my nose. I use all your hacks. I especially use Mac paint pot and was using Mac studio fix foundation. It stopped working. Started using nyx can't stop won't stop. It is working. I just tried model in a bottle and does wonders. I found model in a bottle in sensitive skin. I absolutely love it. Thank you. Model in a bottle for sensitive skin stings a little also.
Oh my gosh, it's sad to say that I am one of those people that used the mac fix plus as a setting spray! The SA at mac told me that it would make my makeup look refreshed and stay put. Refreshed, yes, but makeup doesn't last, felt oily. I am not super oily, but towards the end of the day I do get shine due to having to wear a full coverage foundation that builds to hide scars. Thank you so much for the videos, a lot of TH-cam artists just do "looks" now and don't do much on technique and info on makeup, and you are one that includes those types of videos that I love watching. So, thank you again.
Nikkia Joy yes please review this! Cover FX has a lot of great products but I'm always nervous about purchasing new setting sprays since I'm super oily. :)
I looked at your suggestions. I bought for testing Urban Decay DE-SLICK Oil Control Makeup Setting Spray. I have very oily and acne skin. I LOVEEEEE IT! Its so good. Refreshes and controls my oily face. Makeup looks fresh.
Siindinavia is the best Setting Spray ever, both Original and Bridal are Bomb, but yes prefer Bridal just a tad bit longer wear, but they are both Awesome setting sprays, I'm also using their Primer Spray for Summer and love it.
My GC coconut setting spray just arrived & I love it. I just touched up & then set again & it's really nice. & OMG the scent...'it's divine & there's a decent amount of scent. I can smell it in my room afterwards. Thanks so much for your precious help on my comments Nikkia. Xoxo
lol so funny that you would mention the mac prep and prime! before i got into makeup, i swear i walked up to a mac makeup artist and i asked her if I could use that as a setting spray and she was like NAH HUNNY NAH!! i appreciated her honesty lol but it feels so nice on the skin especially if you dont want your makeup to look textured and like a cakey mess! alright, going to go watch the rest of the video now :P
Lol!! I thought something was wrong with me ! I've been hearing the hype about the prep and prime from Mac since forever. I finally bought it and ended up having to take it back !!! I was very disappointed but I'm so glad that it was mentioned in this video as a NO when it comes to setting your make up !!! I completely agree ! I have other "refreshing" sprays that aren't anywhere near the price point for this product ! Definitely didn't live up to what I purchased it for.
Nikkia, I've basically never commented on a TH-cam video but I watch yours and i wanted to thank you for explaining about the MAC fix+! I too have a very oily skin type and have been using it as a setting spray for months and buying other products to try and combat my oiliness but you've definitely just taught be something new and I'll be changing up my routine to help my makeup last longer.
I felt like it didnt do anything to set my makeup! :( however it did take away the powdery look and felt nice when i sprayed it. The mist is awesome!!! Glad it worked for you
I have combination skin and it's really textured, so I use two different setting sprays, my favourites are mac fix+ to melt the make up into my face and blend all my powders and then use the Gerard cosmetics stay all day on top to help my make up last longer
Hi Georgia! If that works for you thats great! I personally can't use the Fix + after my makeup even n combination with another setting spray as I'm way too oily :P
I have come to love the wet and wild photo focus setting spray. I was using nyx and wanted to find something good and this one works pretty well. I love the morphe prep and set too. I get oily AF during the day and both of these help me and it's 106 degrees where I live now 😂😂😂
I love the atmosphere of your videos your friendly personality and your honesty of all the products you use! It helps so much for me with my oily skin, but more importantly to not waste my time and money on trying products that will not work for my oily skin. I can't afford to try out products but since finding you and your channel on TH-cam and Instagram has been worth my time and money!!! Thank you for having fun putting up the videos of the new products, and tips of how to put on makeup, because I love art but putting on makeup is an artistry that I have learned from you to be patience! I've learn makeup for oily skin need TIME! I've used your morning routine for waiting 20 minutes after you finish with the moisturizers then apply makeup. My face has not felt dry everything under my cheekbones nor as oily as above my cheekbones! Silly I know but it helps!!! Do you have any tips for lips and or what products to use?!? Such as LipSceneLa products? I get chapped lips towards the middle of the day and applying more lipstick lipgloss or chapstick seems as if not doing the trick because I still get the curled skin on my lips. Thanks again for all of your hard work and keep up the Great work you do!!!!
Babydoll Hawaii I love it as a hydrating spray, especially in the winter when the heaters suck the moisture out of my skin. Or during the summer when the a/c dehydrates my skin.
Million thanks to you Nikki. I have almost emptied the bottle of Mac fix plus and thinking why it’s not working for me to set the makeup and now I know after watching the video,,, thanks again
Thank you always for the educational videos! TH-camrs like you who are cerified make-up artists are a breath of fresh air in the dramatic TH-cam make-up sections. I hope one day you'll make a video about application or tutorials with a model. I wanna see you in full make-up artist mode. Love lots, Nikkia Joy!
+ladebrouillarde my eyebrows always do totally different things😂They naturally aren't the same shape plus one rises higher than the other when I use expressions haha! Don't ever try and makeup your eyebrows do the same thing. They add character & personality to your face 😍
Nikkia Joy Thank you!! My brows are also different from each other and I never try to make them look the same. I do however try to make each one look fuller by filling them in.
No joke, this gives me life. She looks stunning. During a facebook argument (of the political variety) some troll said my eyebrows looked like a line graph. I just try to remind myself that if that's the best insult they could come up with (haha resorting to personally attacking me when they can't prove a point) that I must not being doing too bad.
Great video Nikkia! Thank you so much for helping us oily skin girls. This video really helped answer any questions I had about setting sprays. I am going to try your trick about using it twice during my makeup application. I live in Arizona where its really hot and anytime I am outside for a while my face starts sweating right away. Anything that will help my makeup from melting off is a big help.
JoanMaranan it's very good at setting and helps with the powdery look. but I don't spray it on my nose It makes my makeup slip around since I wear glasses
can you make an educational series ? where you make the most oil proof routine for TRULY LONG LASTING makeup wear and incidentally the "tips" you've given in the past and put them together in the order they should be done and why.. regardless of if you do them all together or not.. jus so that way we can see it all and take out a step or two or whatever to tweak it for our own needs ? pleaseeee pretty pleaseeee also the educational part like this where you talk about certain products that are usually used in a multitude of ways through TH-cam bc a lot of times it can be confusing and maybe ill watch one that says you can use this like this but then another one might be like noooo and have a legit reason why and I'll forget and won't really remember ..ty in advance if you even consider this
I have an oily to combo skin and a setting spray from Gerard Cosmetics spray wasn't bad but unfortunately not the best. I would say it takes the third place, while the second goes to Urban Decay All Nighter. The first place goes to Skindinavia Oil Control one since it performed best for me and held my makeup for the longest time!
I have recently become a subscriber and wanted to thank you for these videos. I am a 46 year old woman who didn't have to wear makeup for most of my life. The last year I have had several comments about how I'm suddenly looking old. (RUDE! LOL, but sadly true) I have developed brown melasma spots and some obvious wrinkles around my eyes, etc. Ugh. I decided I would try makeup and realized my makeup was ancient and that I had NO CLUE about all this new stuff. I am a caregiver for a spinal cord injury husband and I work from home, so my budget is tight and my shopping time is nil. These videos have helped me SO MUCH in picking out affordable choices and deciding what I need to build up in my collection. Shopping online is a bit tricky as colors are so hard to judge but hopefully I have some good picks on the way. We shall see. I will be watching some of your how-to videos again once my selections arrive. Even though you mostly concentrate on young skin, your basic techniques seem sound for everyone and I appreciate when you throw in comments for more mature skin as you do your applications. Anyway, just wanted to say thank you and let you know how much help you have been to me in navigating this makeup selection thing :)
I was supper excited when I saw your snap about the bogo on the setting spray!!! I started using it because of you and I love it!!!!!! Definitely recommend it ladies.
I actually really enjoy the smash box primer water as a primer AND setting spray! i DO have dry skin but I don't use it to hydrate even, just cuz it holds my makeup well, sprays and applies very nicely! 😕she didn't really even explain why it's bad!
Shalva R. Thank you for this..I actually bought the Smashbox primer water today and went looking for reviews, ran across this and was bummed...lol....I'm going to pick my head back up and try it..😂😂😂
Just ordered the Slay All Day with your code, awesome deal! I hope they work for me as well as they do for you. My skin is SO oily! You've been such a great help in this world of normal, dry skin youtubers. Happy to have found someone that shares in the oily skin struggles.
So if I'm getting the order of application correct then it's... Setting Spray, Primer, Powder, and then Foundation? I kno you did a video about helping control oils and 1 trick was powder before foundation! Please help cuz I can get confused! Thanks Nikkia! 😊
Hi Jasmine! Yes doing it in that order is the best way to keep your foundation as oil free as possible! You need to powder twice though so I've listed it below again - let me know if you have any other questions!! 1. Setting Spray 2. Primer 3. Dust VERY lightly with translucent powder 4. Foundation (you can set with a setting spray after this step too for extra staying power!) 5. Concealer 6. Powder as you normally would 7. Setting Spray Nikkia :) x
I just bought mac prep&prime. why MAC salesperson tell me that p&p can use as setting spray? gosh... thats y for 2 days in a row my makeup melt after 3 hours!!!! btw , thanks Nikkia. ❤️
hello ms joy I love watching your channel you always keep it real about products that you are using by me having oily skin and not really knowing about a lot of oily skin products you have given me a lot of information and I thank you for that I will continue to watch your channel takecare for now michelle
Mendy Oyarvide I'm having the same problem so far the only relief I've found is to use the Rimmel Matte primer then setting spray before going in with covergirl 3-in-1 foundation (this one is the ONLY one that didn't instantly slide off my nose) then finish with powder and more setting spray. I get about 2-4 hours of wear before my nose goes strawberry..I know this isn't a prefect fix but it's the best I've come up with to date....
Mendy Oyarvide I also had this problem. I use the most intense primers I have just for my nose. These include the Becca and my MAC eyeshadow primer in painterly (suggestion from Nikkia) and another helpful thing that works is baking just the nose after your foundation and concealer.
This video just changed my life for the better haha. I always used my 'UD All Nighter' to wet my makeup brushes if I was doing a really intense look, and have always been so confused as to why my eyes would be so irritated. It would ruin my entire makeup look as they'd tear up crazily. I even stopped using a certain palette thinking that was the cause. So thank you! x
You save me every time love, I absolutely LOOOVE the way you explain HOW TO....I personally have just started wearing makeup 💄 at the age of 40 off course I've used mascara, bit off blush and some lipgloss, but now I have the courage to wear foundation, eyeshadows, blush, paint a little eyebrow and a beautiful highlight✨ thanks too you I know how and what to do because I to have oily / combined skin..and I really want to thank you so soooo much 💖💖💖 you're amazing 💋
I have to say that after watching many of your videos and the praise you gave Gerard Cosmetics Slay All Day Setting Spray I just had to try it! I can't thank you enough! It has saved my oily skin! Now I need to try the paint pot trick because my nose is always red by early afternoon! Keep making these videos for us oily girls!! Much love ❤
The reason why I like this girl videos so much is cos she is a professional qualified makeup artist, so she really knows what she talks about! I buy whatever she recommend with my eyes closed cos the products always work and perform how she say it will. Can’t ask for more from a beauty guru. + she always brings funny and cuteness to her videos.
The Goddess of Oily skin ! 😂😩 so happy you popped up on my feed. Finally someone with oily skin who uses products catered to your skin. Can you make a video showing foundations that are great for oily skin (if you have not already) Love from NYC !
I absolutely love your videos. They are so informative. Thank you. You quickly become one of my favorite people to watch on TH-cam. You have a new loyal subbie.
I have an oily skin type and I actually LOVE using the Urban Decay B6 spray as part of my skin prep, I have noticed waaay less oil accumulation after using it- my skin always feels refreshed and balanced!
Oh lord I have all but the GC sprays lmao. If I hadn't just bought a bunch from Skindinavia then I would go buy that one. I will try it eventually though. I really like the Milani spray the same as the Mac spray. They both melt in my makeup so beautifully. You are looking amazingly happy and healthy in this video! I hope you are as happy as you look Hun. Sending lotsa love from my little family straight to you!
Love that you are fair with oily skin, just like me!!! Just bought the Slay setting spray. Got my 30% off.... thank you!!! Finding products that actually work for oily skin is a full time job lol
I always learn a lot from your videos. Thank you so much for being straight forward and very detailed/informative videos. Top 1 beauty blogger on my list!
Love this video! The ladies at Ulta unfortunately always seem to recommend the wrong products for my oily skin! Thanks for such in depth coverage. Can you do a video on moisturizers for oily skin please? 💜💜❤️
Thank you thank you thank you! I have been meaning to get the Slay all day setting mist! You speak so highly of it, and woman, you really know your stuff so I totally jumped on your JOYBOGO code and bought two bottles today. I'm trying the coconut and the lemongrass scents!!! Yay Nikkia!
I went to a wedding a few months ago and I've followed all your advice (setting spray, primer ecc) and it last ALL day! I have oily skin so I was desperate, thank God I've found your channel ❤️ you're my makeup goddess 👸🏻 Xoxo from Italy
omg i have learned SO mutch from you! just discovered your channel and have been watching your videos ever since. love your videos and your personality, you are such a ispiration! your makeup tips have give me hope to find products that fit my oilymess face, haha! keep up the good work and lots of love from Finland xo
Thank you for the tip about creasing and the beauty blender! Us oily girls with wrinkles need to know!!!! I"m so psyched, I got the Jaclyn Hill palette! It looks like that's what you have on your eyes? I shouldn't have, but I did...... it's my birthday!!!
I NEVER leave comments but I felt the need to do so today. I absolutely adore your channel. You're not like everyone else on TH-cam that just shows us how well you can apply makeup. You're channel is so diverse and informative. You are always giving such great advice and as a newbie to the makeup world I REALLY appreciate it.

can you review the cover fx mattifying setting spray? its alcohol free and apparently good
+Steffy Rodriguez I can look at doing that lovely 😘
Nikkia Joy yes please review this! Cover FX has a lot of great products but I'm always nervous about purchasing new setting sprays since I'm super oily. :)
Nikkia Joy please do the KAT VON D setting spray too~
Steffy Rodriguez omg yess!! im oily af and have been wanting to purchase it
Steffy Rodriguez - Yes! I was gonna ask the same thing because I use that one too!!!
I looked at your suggestions.

+Simply Debbie it's such a common mistake and I get asked about it all the time.
I've heard most of them recommending it as a setting spray and I'm like noooooooo haha
It seems to me that it would be best after a good face washing to refresh your skin. Thanks for the tips, love your channel!
Lol!! I thought something was wrong with me ! I've been hearing the hype about the prep and prime from Mac since forever. I finally bought it and ended up having to take it back !!! I was very disappointed but I'm so glad that it was mentioned in this video as a NO when it comes to setting your make up !!! I completely agree !

try the milani make it last setting spray so good and affordable!
Cassandra Tejeda is it ok 4 sensitive skin?
Raven LaraSoto im not sure i have pretty normal skin and i love it milani also has a dewy setting spray as well
+Cassandra Tejeda I'll have to give it a go lovely 😘
I felt like it didnt do anything to set my makeup! :( however it did take away the powdery look and felt nice when i sprayed it. The mist is awesome!!! Glad it worked for you
@@nikkiajoy how it wears???
Nikkia, this is the best explanation I have ever heard! You are awesome. Thank you.
I have combination skin and it's really textured, so I use two different setting sprays, my favourites are mac fix+ to melt the make up into my face and blend all my powders and then use the Gerard cosmetics stay all day on top to help my make up last longer
Hi Georgia! If that works for you thats great! I personally can't use the Fix + after my makeup even n combination with another setting spray as I'm way too oily :P
Awesome! I ordered a while back Slay (Grapefruit) because of your videos!! I use Allnighter as well! Thanks for all of your tips!
What drugstore setting sprays would you recommend? xx
Melissa2217 I love the L'Oréal one!
+Melissa2217 I honestly haven't found one worth recommending lovely 😭😭
Melissa2217 I found the NYX setting spray is good :) I have both the matte and the dewy finish.
I have come to love the wet and wild photo focus setting spray. I was using nyx and wanted to find something good and this one works pretty well. I love the morphe prep and set too. I get oily AF during the day and both of these help me and it's 106 degrees where I live now 😂😂😂
Catrice has one that I think works good. It smells just like the Urban Decay & Skindinavia ones!
I love the atmosphere of your videos your friendly personality and your honesty of all the products you use! It helps so much for me with my oily skin, but more importantly to not waste my time and money on trying products that will not work for my oily skin.

Thanks again for all of your hard work and keep up the Great work you do!!!!
What do you think of the Mario Badescu facial spray?
+Babydoll Hawaii I haven't tried it sorry lovely but I think it's more a hydrating mist and not a setting spray 😘
Babydoll Hawaii I love it as a hydrating spray, especially in the winter when the heaters suck the moisture out of my skin. Or during the summer when the a/c dehydrates my skin.
@nikkia joy Thank You 🌺
@luvbunnies88 thank you... 🌺
I have really dry skin so it good to just spray over my face before applying a primer and foundation
Million thanks to you Nikki. I have almost emptied the bottle of Mac fix plus and thinking why it’s not working for me to set the makeup and now I know after watching the video,,, thanks again
I'm looking into getting the slay all day setting spray - which scents do you recommend it have you tried?
Thank you always for the educational videos! TH-camrs like you who are cerified make-up artists are a breath of fresh air in the dramatic TH-cam make-up sections. I hope one day you'll make a video about application or tutorials with a model. I wanna see you in full make-up artist mode. Love lots, Nikkia Joy!
Your eyebrows are doing two totally different things in this video, and now I feel so much better about my daily struggle haha.
+ladebrouillarde my eyebrows always do totally different things😂They naturally aren't the same shape plus one rises higher than the other when I use expressions haha! Don't ever try and makeup your eyebrows do the same thing. They add character & personality to your face 😍
Nikkia Joy Thank you!! My brows are also different from each other and I never try to make them look the same. I do however try to make each one look fuller by filling them in.
Nikkia Joy eyebrows are sisters, not twins 😘
No joke, this gives me life. She looks stunning. During a facebook argument (of the political variety) some troll said my eyebrows looked like a line graph. I just try to remind myself that if that's the best insult they could come up with (haha resorting to personally attacking me when they can't prove a point) that I must not being doing too bad.
Eyebrows are sisters not twins 😊
Great video Nikkia! Thank you so much for helping us oily skin girls. This video really helped answer any questions I had about setting sprays. I am going to try your trick about using it twice during my makeup application. I live in Arizona where its really hot and anytime I am outside for a while my face starts sweating right away. Anything that will help my makeup from melting off is a big help.
Can you review the Milani Make It Last Setting Spray?? I've heard good reviews but not particularly on how it is with oily skin 🙈
JoanMaranan it's very good at setting and helps with the powdery look. but I don't spray it on my nose It makes my makeup slip around since I wear glasses
Maria Topete thank you!!'
+JoanMaranan I can look at doing that lovely 😘
Nikkia Joy thank youuu!!! ❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘 sending you love from LA!
I LOVE THE EDUCATION!!! It's IMPORTANT to know your products and how they work.
can you make an educational series ? where you make the most oil proof routine for TRULY LONG LASTING makeup wear and incidentally the "tips" you've given in the past and put them together in the order they should be done and why.. regardless of if you do them all together or not.. jus so that way we can see it all and take out a step or two or whatever to tweak it for our own needs ? pleaseeee pretty pleaseeee also the educational part like this where you talk about certain products that are usually used in a multitude of ways through TH-cam bc a lot of times it can be confusing and maybe ill watch one that says you can use this like this but then another one might be like noooo and have a legit reason why and I'll forget and won't really remember ..ty in advance if you even consider this
I ❤️ B6! I have oily skin and this stuff hydrates my skin and some how makes it less oily. Seriously under rated product.
what if I use fix + to melt everything together and All nighter to fix my makeup?
Very helpful! And I adore the Slay all Day in cucumber!
I have an oily to combo skin and a setting spray from Gerard Cosmetics spray wasn't bad but unfortunately not the best. I would say it takes the third place, while the second goes to Urban Decay All Nighter. The first place goes to Skindinavia Oil Control one since it performed best for me and held my makeup for the longest time!
I have recently become a subscriber and wanted to thank you for these videos. I am a 46 year old woman who didn't have to wear makeup for most of my life. The last year I have had several comments about how I'm suddenly looking old. (RUDE! LOL, but sadly true) I have developed brown melasma spots and some obvious wrinkles around my eyes, etc. Ugh. I decided I would try makeup and realized my makeup was ancient and that I had NO CLUE about all this new stuff. I am a caregiver for a spinal cord injury husband and I work from home, so my budget is tight and my shopping time is nil. These videos have helped me SO MUCH in picking out affordable choices and deciding what I need to build up in my collection. Shopping online is a bit tricky as colors are so hard to judge but hopefully I have some good picks on the way. We shall see. I will be watching some of your how-to videos again once my selections arrive. Even though you mostly concentrate on young skin, your basic techniques seem sound for everyone and I appreciate when you throw in comments for more mature skin as you do your applications. Anyway, just wanted to say thank you and let you know how much help you have been to me in navigating this makeup selection thing :)
Thaaaank U for this video. ❤️
So when do u use the Fix+? U use it just for intensify eyeshadow ?
I was supper excited when I saw your snap about the bogo on the setting spray!!! I started using it because of you and I love it!!!!!! Definitely recommend it ladies.
I actually really enjoy the smash box primer water as a primer AND setting spray! i DO have dry skin but I don't use it to hydrate even, just cuz it holds my makeup well, sprays and applies very nicely! 😕she didn't really even explain why it's bad!
Shalva Reiss im super oily and love the primer water because i actually notice a difference in the longevity of my makeup 🙂
Shalva R. Thank you for this..I actually bought the Smashbox primer water today and went looking for reviews, ran across this and was bummed...lol....I'm going to pick my head back up and try it..😂😂😂
Fantastic video Nikkia - I've often wondered about the best ways to use setting sprays to help keep my makeup on longer!! 😊
+Hazel Gentle I hope this video answered any questions you had 😘
Nikkia Joy it did - thank you! X
thank you!! I use slay all day... but it really burns my eyes. you just saved my vision. lol.
Haha :P Yes you need to wait for the alcohol to evaporate xx
Just ordered the Slay All Day with your code, awesome deal! I hope they work for me as well as they do for you. My skin is SO oily! You've been such a great help in this world of normal, dry skin youtubers. Happy to have found someone that shares in the oily skin struggles.
So if I'm getting the order of application correct then it's... Setting Spray, Primer, Powder, and then Foundation? I kno you did a video about helping control oils and 1 trick was powder before foundation! Please help cuz I can get confused! Thanks Nikkia! 😊
Hi Jasmine! Yes doing it in that order is the best way to keep your foundation as oil free as possible! You need to powder twice though so I've listed it below again - let me know if you have any other questions!!
1. Setting Spray
2. Primer
3. Dust VERY lightly with translucent powder
4. Foundation (you can set with a setting spray after this step too for extra staying power!)
5. Concealer
6. Powder as you normally would
7. Setting Spray
Nikkia :) x
Nikkia Joy Thank you so much. I need to go shopping now!
You are awesome Nikkia! Thank you so much!
Nikkia Joy this is so helpful! I was wondering how to keep my layers from separating and I think this is my solution! Thanks so much!
Jasmine th-cam.com/video/fpzOyKgYfds/w-d-xo.html
My fave video! So informative, thank you so much!! I'm gonna try the suggested use of layering!!
I just bought mac prep&prime. why MAC salesperson tell me that p&p can use as setting spray? gosh... thats y for 2 days in a row my makeup melt after 3 hours!!!! btw , thanks Nikkia. ❤️
+Azera Ahmad aww I'm sorry I didn't have this video up sooner for you lovely. It's a very common mistake even made by salespeople unfortunately
Nikkia Joy dont be sorry Nikkia. its not your fault dear.
hello ms joy I love watching your channel you always keep it real about products that you are using by me having oily skin and not really knowing about a lot of oily skin products you have given me a lot of information and I thank you for that I will continue to watch your channel takecare for now michelle
Nikkia, wth am I doing wrong? No matter what I do my nose ends up looking like a strawberry by the end of the day.
Mendy Oyarvide I'm having the same problem so far the only relief I've found is to use the Rimmel Matte primer then setting spray before going in with covergirl 3-in-1 foundation (this one is the ONLY one that didn't instantly slide off my nose) then finish with powder and more setting spray. I get about 2-4 hours of wear before my nose goes strawberry..I know this isn't a prefect fix but it's the best I've come up with to date....
Tosha D. Ty for your help. I'll try that primer. I've tried everything smh
Mendy Oyarvide I also had this problem. I use the most intense primers I have just for my nose. These include the Becca and my MAC eyeshadow primer in painterly (suggestion from Nikkia) and another helpful thing that works is baking just the nose after your foundation and concealer.
Jessica Jakobson Thank you. I guess my next purchase is the painterly pot. I've already tried becca with no success.
Mendy Oyarvide i
This video just changed my life for the better haha. I always used my 'UD All Nighter' to wet my makeup brushes if I was doing a really intense look, and have always been so confused as to why my eyes would be so irritated. It would ruin my entire makeup look as they'd tear up crazily. I even stopped using a certain palette thinking that was the cause. So thank you! x
U r taking very fast
You save me every time love, I absolutely LOOOVE the way you explain HOW TO....I personally have just started wearing makeup 💄 at the age of 40 off course I've used mascara, bit off blush and some lipgloss, but now I have the courage to wear foundation, eyeshadows, blush, paint a little eyebrow and a beautiful highlight✨ thanks too you I know how and what to do because I to have oily / combined skin..and I really want to thank you so soooo much 💖💖💖 you're amazing 💋
Fantastic as usual, thanks for your great work
+Natali Lefrançois you're so welcome lovely 😘
I have to say that after watching many of your videos and the praise you gave Gerard Cosmetics Slay All Day Setting Spray I just had to try it! I can't thank you enough! It has saved my oily skin! Now I need to try the paint pot trick because my nose is always red by early afternoon! Keep making these videos for us oily girls!! Much love ❤
Hi Jakie
Thank you sooo much for all of your videos for oily skin! I swear at the end of the day I look like I can fry chicken on my skin. You are heaven sent!
Very helpful information. I had no idea there were two categories. Thank you.
Helpful video, thank you NikkiaJoy!
excellent tutorial.... thank you
One of your best, most informative videos EVER!!! You taught me so much and ive been in cosmetics for about 25 years! Thank you!
Awesome vid...girl you tell us correct! I like today's forthright approach and correct information given...too many utubers really don't know..
+Deedee Smith I'm so glad I could be helpful lovely 😘
The reason why I like this girl videos so much is cos she is a professional qualified makeup artist, so she really knows what she talks about! I buy whatever she recommend with my eyes closed cos the products always work and perform how she say it will. Can’t ask for more from a beauty guru. + she always brings funny and cuteness to her videos.
Thanks a ton for the info on MAC fix spray!!!
I was confused about the same for sooo long!!!
This was SO educational, I’m using these tips right away. Thank you Nikkia, your tips are always an oily girl’s dream!!! 😍
The Goddess of Oily skin ! 😂😩 so happy you popped up on my feed. Finally someone with oily skin who uses products catered to your skin. Can you make a video showing foundations that are great for oily skin (if you have not already) Love from NYC !
Ahhh forget it I found it 😂😂
you are a good teacher. good lesson
Awesome! Thank you so much, I haven't seen anyone explain the differences. Totally helped me.
This video was so helpful!! I never knew the fix + wasn’t for setting!

I absolutely love your videos. They are so informative. Thank you. You quickly become one of my favorite people to watch on TH-cam.
You have a new loyal subbie.
I have an oily skin type and I actually LOVE using the Urban Decay B6 spray as part of my skin prep, I have noticed waaay less oil accumulation after using it- my skin always feels refreshed and balanced!
Your channel is great! I really appreciate all the information on each product.👍👍👍
Oh lord I have all but the GC sprays lmao. If I hadn't just bought a bunch from Skindinavia then I would go buy that one. I will try it eventually though. I really like the Milani spray the same as the Mac spray. They both melt in my makeup so beautifully.
You are looking amazingly happy and healthy in this video! I hope you are as happy as you look Hun. Sending lotsa love from my little family straight to you!
Nicole Bye Going to try the Milani spray this go around. I love using Mac Fix + to get rid of the powdery look.
Love that you are fair with oily skin, just like me!!! Just bought the Slay setting spray. Got my 30% off.... thank you!!! Finding products that actually work for oily skin is a full time job lol
