Foundation, primer, base that mixes well together when it comes to oil base, water base or silicone base products. I have a feeling that some types just don't mix well when use together on the skin and it causes the foundation to break down or peel up
In my 20’s (almost 50 years ago) I used a powder puff to press loose powder all over my skin and then remove the excess with a fluffy brush. I cannot do that anymore with my older more textured skin. But I used to love the way it made my skin look. And actually in my 40’s/50’s I used Jane Iredale pressed base with a puff and then sprayed with their spray and put another layer of powder pressed on top. But I can’t do that any more either. Ugh this getting older isn’t for sissies. Thanks for speaking on this subject. I’m happy to find information on line to help me navigate this agent makeup stuff.
Hi Lisa. I've been shaving my face for years. It's fabulous for getting rid of dead skin cells. I do have dry skin. I hydrate with an essence, a vitamin C serum, Coq-10. I let everything sink in. Then i go in with my moisturizer, and finally sunscreen. I let the sit for as long as I can. You are so right. So many people wear too much foundation. I love your brushes, but for my dry skin, I do prefer a makeup sponge for foundation application. But love your bronzer brush, and your gorgeous powder blush, and I'll only use yours or Angie's eye makeup brushes. I thought baking was leaving. Ugh. I simply use your large powder brush, with the Hourglass loose powder, and use the smallest amount posdible. Definitely the unbaked side looks better. Everything you've said, I've implemented from watching you all of these years. Thank you ever so much.❤😊🥰
My biggest problem is foundation sinking into pores. Im 61 with combo skin and very large pores, tried different primers,techniques etc. and nothing has helped. I would love your opinion on this !
Another great video!! Thanks! And yes a video about why foundation is breaking down and pilling like someone else said would be so helpful. One day it works beautifully and the next it looks crazy and I don’t understand why. Primer or sunscreen underneath maybe??
I have dry skin and fine lines and for my eyes especially, every concealer creases… I’ve started using liquid/cream shadow that’s closer to my skin tone on the upper lids and then I take a little and smudge it on the lower line & bam! No creasing! For me the color I use is the matte sky wash from glossier in pebble (im very fair, cool toned). It just smooths everything out better than anything else and stays in place!
So you basically use this as a concealer ?? Under you eyes??? Concealers crease on me too. Did I misunderstand your comment? Maybe you were just taking about lower lash line?
Lisa! Your eye makeup is stunning today. I’ve seen this particular combo in the past on you. It’s gorgeous. Could you please do a tutorial on this look sometime or tell us what you’re wearing? I appreciate the attention to detail you always put out in your videos and of course BK Beauty!! Thank you for teaching me how to apply makeup with the correct tools. It’s taken my makeup to a whole new level. 🙌🏻❤❤❤
Thank you! I am wearing a new eyeshadow palette by Charlotte Tilbury: bit.ly/3Qttkj7 (Sephora) bit.ly/3FkgxsE (Charlotte Tilbury). Video coming soon! 💖
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! I'd love more! I'd like to see how blush and bronzer are applied because that is my biggest issue. I feel like my bronzer doesn't go on as easily or as perfectly as it should. It seems that the left side of my face has divots on my cheek that my right cheek doesn't have. I've also had a stroke with left side issues, so I may not be seeing correctly. I also want to know what types of foundation, primer, and powders play well together.
I would love to see a video on lashes. My bottom outer corner lashes have recently been wanting to stick straight out. I use a lash growth serum and even use a specific mini wand when applying mascara to them but they are driving me crazy. They're my bottom lashes so idk how to curl them.
I appreciate your help and explanations of application techniques. I'm 67 and dealing with lines/wrinkles, pores, and changing skin. Would like a video specifically addressing aging changing skin. Thank you.
Thanks Lisa i learned that baking as you mentioned is not good for mature skin your method is far more productive and definitely keeps us looking younger. Also your brushes are key to beautiful make up application i have almost all your brushes and just recently gave my friend a make up tutorial and she just ordered your entire brush set as i told her that buying these brushes was essential 💕
I have for years used inexpensive brushes, I decided to pick up your brushes last year. What a difference a good brush makes! They are worth the investment!
I really appreciated how you pointed out the differences between Brush 113 and 108 so well- I appreciated knowing why type of application motion works better for each brush and just the overall pros of each. Before I would have bought both because I had no idea which would work best for me and I’d probably rarely use them because I wouldn’t understand them. Now I would probably buy both because I see the benefit of both. I like that the benefits of each one- I like that the larger brush could help me get my foundation done faster on those rushing days and I like that the other brush is better for the press and circular motions on days when I have more time! Brushes are so confusing to someone who is just starting to try to learn to do makeup a bit better! I’m 38 so getting a late start and, while I still don’t like to wear makeup often, I’ve found I occasionally like to wear it when getting dressed up. From being more craft I get that the right tools make all the difference but I’ve rarely found descriptions that truly let me navigate the world of makeup brushes- especially when most people say “it’s a personal preference as to which is better” and leave it there. I don’t know what my preference is haha! So, again, thank you! All the tips and tricks were very helpful but the brush tutorial is gold to me! I will definitely be watching more videos to see what else I can learn about tools and tips and tricks!
Yes more of these. Ummm I have had very oily skin my whole life. Between that and getting older, I have large pores mid face and nose especially, and I find minimizing plus adding foundation difficult to make and keep. Any tips would be helpful. I’m currently pressing the elf putty primer with their brush in a stippling motion which helps a lot, and then barely putting any of my Sephora Best Skin Ever over the area in order to try to keep that effect.
Great video for makeup application❤ My biggest problem is how to line my lips….the outline has faded quite badly over the years. Second biggest problem would be how much concealer to use and what colour and which one 😊
I have a problem blending my blush . I am older so I am sad to say my cheeks are falling. I have the BK brushes including the ones from Angie, so I have good tools. I find I really like the cream blush but after I apply powder I always need a little powder blush to finish. I also live in Texas, in fact just South of you so I am also dealing with hot summers. I certainly don’t want the clown look! LOL Thanks 😊
I love this. I did my makeup yesterday for work, but I was in a rush, soooo I didn’t let my skin care absorb as long as I should have, I tried to use more concealer so I could use less foundation and then powdered using a pressed powder and puff (way too much powder) and it looked fine initially. I use the restroom just a few hours later and am appalled at how old I look and how creasy and dry my skin looked, particularly under my eyes. Why? I broke nearly all your rules here. It really does make a huge difference to prep the skin properly and go in very light layers, in the steps you recommend. I also can not recommend enough using a setting spray or mist after you apply any powder products especially. It will make a dry, cakey, overly powdery, or creasy face melt together to look phenomenal once it dries down. I don’t even think many give more staying power but they all give a much more seamless, photo focus appearance to the skin vs skipping that step. Can’t agree more with her suggestions to avoid a day like I had yesterday… and you wanna avoid days like that😂 I only wish you would had finished your makeup because blush and bronzer, throwing in contouring in addition can also add a lot more problems, and you skipped all those.
Great tips! Funny that you mention about less powder. I actually just bought a full size of one bc I felt like the mini was dispersing enough. Perhaps I should stay with that one instead….haha.
I cannot say it enough….you are a fantastic teacher! You speak to a person, not at them. You also demonstrate what you’re talking about. I’ve watched a re-watched so many of your videos, just to relearn some helpful tips. I would love to see a new natural makeup application where you go in depth on how you hold your brushes, how much product you pick up and how it’s applied to the face. Then, it’d like to see that same look intensified to a nighttime look. You’ve done videos like these in the past; however,I’d like to see a more updated one.
I’ve been on the fence about buying good sets of brushes and I knew about the BK beauty, foundation, brushes and seeing you apply. It made sense to me and I’ve been applying it with a sponge and dotting it on. I think I’m gonna buy the foundation brush also, I thought as a 60 year old female that I had to stay away from dewy foundations but what you said made sense about the matte foundations I never thought of it that way, so that’s what I’ve learned from this video. I’d like to see lots of how to apply videos for mature women. Thanks.
Enjoyed this video. Would love to see a video on how to reduce the look of crepey eyelids when applying eyeshadow. Like which formula is best and some application tips. Thanks
The Dior Matte foundation is a dream for my oily skin. I put off buying it for a long time, but when I did...holy cow was it a came changer. And yes, no to baking for day to day makeup.
Love the eyeshadow combination colors used in this video, perfect. Can you tell us the palette used here? PLS TY As well, the video is spot on and makes perfect sense now. Recently I have been all over the placement of trying different steps with no sure success. Now I know! When you know, ya know!
I always learn so much from your videos and your brushes are chefs kiss! I use a pencil grip around the ferrule of the brush. Not only does it help protect the ferrule from getting damaged when tapping off excess, it also stops the brush from rolling off my counter.
Thank for the foundation application tips. I am 61 and have hyperpigmentation on my both my cheeks. I hoping you can do video techniques on how to conceal them. Thank you.
Yes, very helpful video. My problem is very dry under eyes and wrinkles as I age. That is where I find caking with any concealer. I've been afraid to use much around my eyes, including most serums. Maybe I should be more trusting with my products. Also -- no primer? Thanks for some great pointers!
I appreciate these lessons with makeup. I didn’t realize dotting foundation on the face lead to using too much of the foundation. I’m going to try your method the next time. Thanks for helping me application, it’s so important as I age.
These videos are great. I always learn something new. The moisturizer I have been using is pretty heavy. I have dry mature skin so I’m going to use a lighter one under my foundation. It all makes so much sense to me when it’s explained. Thank you so much❤
Lisa-love the color of your shirt against your skin tone & eye color 😍. I also so enjoy your tips & tricks videos however, I hope you also give disclaimers that makeup, in general, has no rules & a lot of it is trial & error on what works or doesn’t work for someone because everyone is so different! Just my two cents. I appreciated hearing your tips in this video❣️❣️ Have a great week 😊
@LisaJ can you do a video on How to set your makeup so it stays on? Long wearing setting techniques please…. Btw love your videos super helpful and I have basically your whole line of brushes ❤they are my favorite 😍
Wow….learned so much education from this video. Thank you Lisa, your delivery is spot on! Also, your brushes are hands down the best, I’ve saved so much money because now I can apply makeup the correct way. 🥰🥰👏
Hi Lisa , this video was great! I have puffy bags is there a way to make them not so noticeable with my foundation. I tried using a concealer but , it seems to make it worse.
Thank you, Lisa! I’m going to pick up the Mac foundation you showed later this month. It does look beautiful on the skin. ❤ I learned why we don’t bake.
The reason foundation is challenging is so many of us are using retinols which temporarily causes lots of uneven skin. At least that’s what I tell myself. If I commit now to changing the way my skin ages I have to deal with some inconvenience. Luckily there’re loads of great products on the market to deal with these issues.
I'm 55, and I haven't found one powder I can use under my eyes or concealer, and I have tried so many, especially this year!!!! So I just use a lighter foundation and set with a little bit of setting spray by patting it on with my fingers until it dries ❤
I also do that but I recently got one of those triangular powder puffs and that works so well. I'm so relieved because I have powders and was sad to waste them but even setting on my forehead made weird cakey areas. It's so much better with the puff.
I manual exfoliate my skin by shaving, I cannot use acids. I have your 101 foundation brush but it can be challenging for me. Not because of the quality but whenever I use any brush, my texture and pores are more visible so I use a sponge. Any brush tends to “exfoliate” my skin. The sponge helps me to press the foundation into my pores by pouncing.
Thank you for explaining everything, i need help with this 😢. I have dry skin and is winter now and I cant seem to find anything that works. I'll look through your videos and try to find some tips for sunscreen because thats the main reason my makeup is getting cakey
Lisa. I live in Houston and we have 2x the humidity however at 62 I'm dry as a bone. So I still use the 7 skins K beauty essences and toners all hydrating then moisturizing serums and creams My biggest problem is old acne texture on my right check hollows. So I do stipple there . But indereye is always a challenge for us older mommas.
Wonderfully informative & I will definitely incorporate some of these techniques into my skin care routine as well as the makeup application. I’d really appreciate an in-depth video on minimizing lip lines. Thank you so much for all of the beauty tips and tricks you bring to women of all ages.
Thank you Lisa! Reminded to wait between skincare products, so they can get absorbed. Also, I need to start to use the back of my hand for the foundation. I'm still trying to figuring out how to apply the powder (brush or sponge). I saw your short video where you used your sponge, so I think that I need to watch short again and compare to this one. Thank you for your kindness and sharing your knowledge 🙏
Lisa, I love this kind of video (a tutorial video)! Thank for making it! 😊 I sometimes wonder how to put several skincare products, on my face, and still have my makeup look good - for example: serum, lotion, sunscreen, primer & then foundation, etc. Based on other things I've heard you say, I'm assuming the trick is to keep the layers thin and (as you've said), to let each layer absorb before adding the next one.
Thank you Lisa, I loved this video and learned a lot! I’ve been using your brushes for several years and that alone has helped and improved my makeup application. My second 101 brush is on its way as we speak. It was the first brush I ever bought from you and I’ve been thinking for some time that it would be nice to be able to rotate it when one needs cleaning. I just was texted your thank you video this morning and I appreciate that so much. Lisa, I am blind in one eye, and as a result I don’t have depth perception. I want so much to do a wing on my permanent eyeliner and always struggle with it. I would love a video on an easy way to do it. Thanks again!
I’ve always felt like I don’t get enough powder deposited on my face when I use a brush, so I like to use a dry beauty sponge for that application. I am also used to dotting foundation all over my skin but I am going to try using the back of my hand and picking it up from there like you suggested. Loved this video and all your suggestions, especially the skincare.
Thanks for sharing that tip Benda! it may be the brush you are using too. Maybe something a little more dense (but still soft) would work- that said if a sponge is working for, that is great!
This video was great….didn’t think I would grab the tips I did. I have a couple of foundations that I know I can’t rush. When I start work early certain days the waiting for skincare to set does not always apply. There’s the ones you spend time on and the get out the door ones. I’m super dry and have made the error of too much moisturizing and pill city is the result! Got some great ideas from you…so thanks!
This was so great, I realize now why sometimes my makeup does not last well. I need more help deciding what skin care products to use for mature skin. Also, how it have eye makeup on mature eyes that doesn't look like a clown. Thank you for doing these videos.
I’m 59 and have a lot of trouble under my eyes. I either apply too much powder or not enough. When I don’t apply enough my mascara and tightlining pencil smear under my eyes. Sometimes I apply powder under my eyes with a damp sponge. How do you feel about that technique? It really works for my crows feet. I’ll try your technique and hope I get better results. I love your teaching videos! Thank you!
Very helpful information and will use some of these tips going forward. Always uncertain which brushes are best to apply foundation, cream blush, bronzer, etc. Too many options can be confusing. Thank you for this video.
Thank You Sooo Much for helping us understand the Why's and How To's! You're Extraordinary and Beautiful. I have recently been buying several foundations, high & drugstore! Appreciate your Techniques and more the answer. I have your BRUSHES for Face, Eye & Travel which makes ALL the difference! I Trust and recommend Your TH-cam and Brushes to EVERYONE! I'm 60's and get lots of Compliments! It's All because of You! Thank You.
Great advice Lisa. I have a question. Should we apply foundation over dry skin ( with sunscreen already set I mean) or over damp skin, like a primer or mist over sunscreen before foundation ? Can you clarify step by step for better results 😃. Thanks! Love your educational content.
Thank you! I just added a video today on how to naturally highlight and contour! Here is the link to the video th-cam.com/video/QFoNpknubXg/w-d-xo.html
I always learn from you. I'm 63 so yes to much powder makes it horrible. Shows all the fine lines and wrinkles! I do have a question though eith gel eye liners when gets down , is there more gel in them or throw away?
Would love to know how to keep makeup on my nose. My nose is often red and with cold season approaching - we are blowing our nose more. How do you keep the makeup in place and/or what’s the best way to touch up? Thanks as always…love your content. ❤❤
Hi! I would recommend applying a gripping primer there... Elf and Milk makeup have good ones. Setting with powder and setting spray. But if you do blow your nose a lot, you may just need to have a good touchup powder that has some coverage on hand... like Jane Iredale mineral pressed foundation and just apply if you feel it is coming off
Great instructions! My makeup easily can look patchy, not so much cakey. I’m thinking these techniques could apply to that as well. Really enjoyed this video! Thank you!
Thank you for these tips. The products I use to love are looking cakey. I have seen myself fall into some bad habits and hopefully these will help. Have a wonderful day!
I felt like you were talking to me directly when you did the dots around the face lol. I am going to try and dab and swish technique tomorrow before work. Thank you! One thing I always feel like I miss is how to actually shade match for foundations and concealers. I feel like I rely on sales people at Sephora or makeup counters and I am not always sure if it’s right, especially as my skin changes. Any advice? Or if you have something on this already let me know. ❤️
What’s the best light to do a make up… i can look totally different if I do in the bedroom (warmer more yellow light) or in the bathroom (white light). I cannot have natural light as I do may make up too early and is still dark outside….
Thank you so much for this informative, helpful and amazing video. So many great tips. I have just started buying your brushes and Angie’s brushes and I love them. A little late to the game, but will only buy them from now on. Appreciate this video because I have dry skin and the preparation of the skin and application of products you suggested will benefit my situation. Love ya, beautiful lady. And, thanks again!
He said this is been an excellent excellent video and I'm looking forward to seeing more of them hopefully also looking forward to your favorite blurring products from prep to setting spray please 🙏🙏🙏💝
Oh Lisa, soooo beautiful! Thank u for all the technics!! U are so talented!!! Will try to implement your teachings! Love the colors of your top & makeup! Lisa, something looks different with u…. U have lost some weight? U didn’t have any to lose??your neck & jawline look so chiseled!! Just noticed is all….
Almay matte skin perfecting foundation is a great choice for those with combo to oily skin peeps. I never hear it spoken about but it is a dupe for the Mac Studio Fix Fluid foundation, but much less expensive. Expensive brushes are overrated. I have bought every high end luxury brush you can think of and I get just as much use out of my $10 face brushes. They are as soft, just as quality and durable as every single high end and luxury brush I’ve bought. Often times I get a high end brush and am so disappointed. They are pokey, shed, handles or dual end falls off. Save you money and grab a Flower, Milani, Sonia Kashuk face brush. I actually think high end eye brushes, concealer brushes (small brushes) are a better investment and where you do see a difference.
Thank you! Video coming soon! :) I am wearing a new eyeshadow palette by Charlotte Tilbury: bit.ly/3Qttkj7 (Sephora) bit.ly/3FkgxsE (Charlotte Tilbury).
Foundation, primer, base that mixes well together when it comes to oil base, water base or silicone base products. I have a feeling that some types just don't mix well when use together on the skin and it causes the foundation to break down or peel up
You are right❤
Its because water & oil seperate
You are right. You do not want to mix the 2 different types. If you use oil base foundations, you would want to use an oil based concealer with it.
Great point!
In my 20’s (almost 50 years ago) I used a powder puff to press loose powder all over my skin and then remove the excess with a fluffy brush. I cannot do that anymore with my older more textured skin.

Everything you've said, I've implemented from watching you all of these years. Thank you ever so much.❤😊🥰
Do you really like the hourglass powder for your dry skin? I'm always looking for a powder that works ok
@@oceanbird.Yes! I use very little, and am even able to set my undereye concealer with it. It doesn't contain talc, which can be so drying!
@@reneklein6049 thank you! 😁
What happens to your face hair after shaving? I mean, when they start growing up… i’ve never done as I am afraid it will look like beard! 😂😂😂
Korean cushion makeup is amazing 😊
My biggest problem is foundation sinking into pores. Im 61 with combo skin and very large pores, tried different primers,techniques etc. and nothing has helped. I would love your opinion on this !
I have the same problem. I’d like some info too!
Same. I'm 46 though.
Another great video!! Thanks!
And yes a video about why foundation is breaking down and pilling like someone else said would be so helpful. One day it works beautifully and the next it looks crazy and I don’t understand why. Primer or sunscreen underneath maybe??
Would love a tutorial on how to line thin lips to give a fuller appearance. ❤
I have dry skin and fine lines and for my eyes especially, every concealer creases… I’ve started using liquid/cream shadow that’s closer to my skin tone on the upper lids and then I take a little and smudge it on the lower line & bam!

Learned a lot. Love the way you apply with the brush instead of using a sponge.

Enjoyed this video. Would love to see a video on how to reduce the look of crepey eyelids when applying eyeshadow. Like which formula is best and some application tips. Thanks
I love the NARS Light Reflecting Foundation!
Oh I love that one too! So pretty!
I would love some tips for using Hyaluronic acid based serums in a dry climate. I have tried so many and they never seem to absorb properly.
The Dior Matte foundation is a dream for my oily skin. I put off buying it for a long time, but when I did...holy cow was it a came changer. And yes, no to baking for day to day makeup.
Love the eyeshadow combination colors used in this video, perfect. Can you tell us the palette used here? PLS TY As well, the video is spot on and makes perfect sense now. Recently I have been all over the placement of trying different steps with no sure success. Now I know! When you know, ya know!
I always learn so much from your videos and your brushes are chefs kiss! I use a pencil grip around the ferrule of the brush. Not only does it help protect the ferrule from getting damaged when tapping off excess, it also stops the brush from rolling off my counter.
Lisa, I’m having a lot of problems with under eye dark circles. And also wrinkles under the eyes!
Try a colour corrector before concealer
Thank for the foundation application tips. I am 61 and have hyperpigmentation on my both my cheeks. I hoping you can do video techniques on how to conceal them. Thank you.
Yes, very helpful video. My problem is very dry under eyes and wrinkles as I age. That is where I find caking with any concealer. I've been afraid to use much around my eyes, including most serums. Maybe I should be more trusting with my products. Also -- no primer? Thanks for some great pointers!
Lisa, truly enjoyed this video and wanted to say that your eye makeup is STUNNING!!
I appreciate these lessons with makeup. I didn’t realize dotting foundation on the face lead to using too much of the foundation. I’m going to try your method the next time. Thanks for helping me application, it’s so important as I age.
You're so welcome!
@Lisajmakeup What did you use for eye shadow, eyeliner, blush, and lip color?
These videos are great. I always learn something new. The moisturizer I have been using is pretty heavy. I have dry mature skin so I’m going to use a lighter one under my foundation. It all makes so much sense to me when it’s explained. Thank you so much❤
Oh I'm glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
Lisa-love the color of your shirt against your skin tone & eye color 😍. I also so enjoy your tips & tricks videos however, I hope you also give disclaimers that makeup, in general, has no rules & a lot of it is trial & error on what works or doesn’t work for someone because everyone is so different! Just my two cents. I appreciated hearing your tips in this video❣️❣️ Have a great week 😊
What is the best skincare, foundation, concealer at Walmart that works for dry skin with in large pores,deep wrinkles and textured skin?
@LisaJ can you do a video on How to set your makeup so it stays on? Long wearing setting techniques please…. Btw love your videos super helpful and I have basically your whole line of brushes ❤they are my favorite 😍
Wow….learned so much education from this video. Thank you Lisa, your delivery is spot on! Also, your brushes are hands down the best, I’ve saved so much money because now I can apply makeup the correct way. 🥰🥰👏
Hi Lisa , this video was great! I have puffy bags is there a way to make them not so noticeable with my foundation. I tried using a concealer but , it seems to make it worse.
Please do makeup for dry mature skin including setting spray. Thanks
Thank you, Lisa! I’m going to pick up the Mac foundation you showed later this month. It does look beautiful on the skin. ❤ I learned why we don’t bake.
The reason foundation is challenging is so many of us are using retinols which temporarily causes lots of uneven skin. At least that’s what I tell myself. If I commit now to changing the way my skin ages I have to deal with some inconvenience. Luckily there’re loads of great products on the market to deal with these issues.
That is true! And to add to this problem, most people wear way too much foundation and concealer.
I'm 55, and I haven't found one powder I can use under my eyes or concealer, and I have tried so many, especially this year!!!! So I just use a lighter foundation and set with a little bit of setting spray by patting it on with my fingers until it dries ❤
I also do that but I recently got one of those triangular powder puffs and that works so well. I'm so relieved because I have powders and was sad to waste them but even setting on my forehead made weird cakey areas. It's so much better with the puff.
Lisa, your eyeshadow is so pretty. Makes your green eyes pop! Tutorial please ❤
Thank you! It is the new Charlotte Tilbury Holiday palette. I actually filmed it so it will be up soon
I manual exfoliate my skin by shaving, I cannot use acids. I have your 101 foundation brush but it can be challenging for me. Not because of the quality but whenever I use any brush, my texture and pores are more visible so I use a sponge. Any brush tends to “exfoliate” my skin. The sponge helps me to press the foundation into my pores by pouncing.
Thank you for explaining everything, i need help with this 😢. I have dry skin and is winter now and I cant seem to find anything that works. I'll look through your videos and try to find some tips for sunscreen because thats the main reason my makeup is getting cakey
Lisa. I live in Houston and we have 2x the humidity however at 62 I'm dry as a bone. So I still use the 7 skins K beauty essences and toners all hydrating then moisturizing serums and creams
My biggest problem is old acne texture on my right check hollows. So I do stipple there . But indereye is always a challenge for us older mommas.
So educational! Great job. Love that green.
it was helpful hearing explanation on brushes and techniques. to apply foundation.
Yes! I use the Jill Razor
Wonderfully informative & I will definitely incorporate some of these techniques into my skin care routine as well as the makeup application. I’d really appreciate an in-depth video on minimizing lip lines. Thank you so much for all of the beauty tips and tricks you bring to women of all ages.
Thank you Lisa! Reminded to wait between skincare products, so they can get absorbed. Also, I need to start to use the back of my hand for the foundation.
I'm still trying to figuring out how to apply the powder (brush or sponge). I saw your short video where you used your sponge, so I think that I need to watch short again and compare to this one.
Thank you for your kindness and sharing your knowledge 🙏
Yes, You sword it perfectly! I tried the Catrice HD Foundation and it is not for those with dry skin!
Lisa, I love this kind of video (a tutorial video)! Thank for making it! 😊
I sometimes wonder how to put several skincare products, on my face, and still have my makeup look good - for example: serum, lotion, sunscreen, primer & then foundation, etc.
Based on other things I've heard you say, I'm assuming the trick is to keep the layers thin and (as you've said), to let each layer absorb before adding the next one.
Thank you Lisa, I loved this video and learned a lot! I’ve been using your brushes for several years and that alone has helped and improved my makeup application. My second 101 brush is on its way as we speak. It was the first brush I ever bought from you and I’ve been thinking for some time that it would be nice to be able to rotate it when one needs cleaning. I just was texted your thank you video this morning and I appreciate that so much. Lisa, I am blind in one eye, and as a result I don’t have depth perception. I want so much to do a wing on my permanent eyeliner and always struggle with it. I would love a video on an easy way to do it. Thanks again!
I’ve always felt like I don’t get enough powder deposited on my face when I use a brush, so I like to use a dry beauty sponge for that application. I am also used to dotting foundation all over my skin but I am going to try using the back of my hand and picking it up from there like you suggested. Loved this video and all your suggestions, especially the skincare.
Thanks for sharing that tip Benda! it may be the brush you are using too. Maybe something a little more dense (but still soft) would work- that said if a sponge is working for, that is great!
This video was great….didn’t think I would grab the tips I did. I have a couple of foundations that I know I can’t rush. When I start work early certain days the waiting for skincare to set does not always apply. There’s the ones you spend time on and the get out the door ones. I’m super dry and have made the error of too much moisturizing and pill city is the result! Got some great ideas from you…so thanks!
Glad it was helpful! I appreciate you taking time out of your day to watch my channel! Have a lovely day :)
This was so great, I realize now why sometimes my makeup does not last well. I need more help deciding what skin care products to use for mature skin. Also, how it have eye makeup on mature eyes that doesn't look like a clown. Thank you for doing these videos.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching and sharing 💖
I am a Mac girl, love love Mac!
I’m 59 and have a lot of trouble under my eyes. I either apply too much powder or not enough. When I don’t apply enough my mascara and tightlining pencil smear under my eyes. Sometimes I apply powder under my eyes with a damp sponge. How do you feel about that technique? It really works for my crows feet. I’ll try your technique and hope I get better results. I love your teaching videos! Thank you!
Very helpful information and will use some of these tips going forward. Always uncertain which brushes are best to apply foundation, cream blush, bronzer, etc. Too many options can be confusing. Thank you for this video.
Thank You Sooo Much for helping us understand the Why's and How To's! You're Extraordinary and Beautiful. I have recently been buying several foundations, high & drugstore! Appreciate your Techniques and more the answer. I have your BRUSHES for Face, Eye & Travel which makes ALL the difference! I Trust and recommend Your TH-cam and Brushes to EVERYONE! I'm 60's and get lots of Compliments! It's All because of You! Thank You.
Aww, thank you Frannie!! This comment made my day!! Thank you, THANK YOU!
Great advice Lisa. I have a question. Should we apply foundation over dry skin ( with sunscreen already set I mean) or over damp skin, like a primer or mist over sunscreen before foundation ? Can you clarify step by step for better results 😃. Thanks! Love your educational content.
That was great! I'm the over powdered so thx for the side by side
Thank you for showing these technics when applying foundation concealer etc great refresher for me. Loved your eye makeup ❤
I apply my concealer and foundation at the same time. I dot them on together, and then blend them out at the same time.
wow, i'm glad I found u! I believe you're gonna be a lot of help to me...and boy do I need help!
Loved this and your recent eye makeup video! I would LOVE a video on how to gracefully contour to make my forehead and nose look smaller!!
Thank you! I just added a video today on how to naturally highlight and contour! Here is the link to the video th-cam.com/video/QFoNpknubXg/w-d-xo.html
I’d love to know what eyeshadows you used on your eyes - beautiful! Sorry if I missed this in the drop-down. Thanks Lisa! ❤
Hi! I am wearing The Beautyverse Eyeshadow Palette by Charlotte Tilbury: bit.ly/3Qttkj7 (Sephora) bit.ly/3FkgxsE (Charlotte Tilbury)
I always learn from you. I'm 63 so yes to much powder makes it horrible. Shows all the fine lines and wrinkles! I do have a question though eith gel eye liners when gets down , is there more gel in them or throw away?
This was such an education. Loved and will for sure use many of your tips, especially about powdering.
I don’t think there is a more beautiful, educated influencer on here! You are Amazing! Just sayin’❤
Aww, Lori! That is the sweetest compliment, thank you!
Lisa can you tell us what lipstick you are wearing in this video?
Would love to know how to keep makeup on my nose. My nose is often red and with cold season approaching - we are blowing our nose more. How do you keep the makeup in place and/or what’s the best way to touch up? Thanks as always…love your content. ❤❤
Hi! I would recommend applying a gripping primer there... Elf and Milk makeup have good ones. Setting with powder and setting spray. But if you do blow your nose a lot, you may just need to have a good touchup powder that has some coverage on hand... like Jane Iredale mineral pressed foundation and just apply if you feel it is coming off
@@lisajmakeup Great, thank you, Lisa! I will try those tips.
Great instructions! My makeup easily can look patchy, not so much cakey. I’m thinking these techniques could apply to that as well. Really enjoyed this video! Thank you!
Can you please do a video on the best way to cover melasma ?
Thank you for these tips. The products I use to love are looking cakey. I have seen myself fall into some bad habits and hopefully these will help. Have a wonderful day!
Love the color of your blouse….really accentuates your beautiful eyes!! 😍
Thank you so much 🙂
Great video…thanks‼️ I’d love your advice on spf products under foundation…how to apply, etc.
I felt like you were talking to me directly when you did the dots around the face lol. I am going to try and dab and swish technique tomorrow before work. Thank you! One thing I always feel like I miss is how to actually shade match for foundations and concealers. I feel like I rely on sales people at Sephora or makeup counters and I am not always sure if it’s right, especially as my skin changes. Any advice? Or if you have something on this already let me know. ❤️
Hi Lisa, this video was fantastic!! Very informative. ❤
Great video! I’d love a refresher on undertones
So so helpful! Thank you!
Such useful info + technique...So agree w/you abt powder: Less is more! Stunning as always!...
TY Lisa! 💞
Thanks so much! Have a lovely day 💖
What’s the best light to do a make up… i can look totally different if I do in the bedroom (warmer more yellow light) or in the bathroom (white light).
I cannot have natural light as I do may make up too early and is still dark outside….
Thank you so much for this informative, helpful and amazing video. So many great tips. I have just started buying your brushes and Angie’s brushes and I love them. A little late to the game, but will only buy them from now on. Appreciate this video because I have dry skin and the preparation of the skin and application of products you suggested will benefit my situation. Love ya, beautiful lady. And, thanks again!
I’m in my 50’s now. I love the dr gross exfoliating pads. They are amazing.
Thank you for sharing!
He said this is been an excellent excellent video and I'm looking forward to seeing more of them hopefully also looking forward to your favorite blurring products from prep to setting spray please 🙏🙏🙏💝
please please 🙂 post a link to the rectangle mirror you're using in this video ty!
Oh Lisa, soooo beautiful! Thank u for all the technics!! U are so talented!!! Will try to implement your teachings! Love the colors of your top & makeup! Lisa, something looks different with u…. U have lost some weight? U didn’t have any to lose??your neck & jawline look so chiseled!! Just noticed is all….
This was very helpful…thank you and your makeup is gorgeous 😊
This is great information, Lisa. Thank you for your videos.
Almay matte skin perfecting foundation is a great choice for those with combo to oily skin peeps. I never hear it spoken about but it is a dupe for the Mac Studio Fix Fluid foundation, but much less expensive.
Expensive brushes are overrated. I have bought every high end luxury brush you can think of and I get just as much use out of my $10 face brushes. They are as soft, just as quality and durable as every single high end and luxury brush I’ve bought. Often times I get a high end brush and am so disappointed. They are pokey, shed, handles or dual end falls off. Save you money and grab a Flower, Milani, Sonia Kashuk face brush. I actually think high end eye brushes, concealer brushes (small brushes) are a better investment and where you do see a difference.
Thank you for the Almay Matte foundation recommendation. I will check it out. 😊 I have very oily skin.
The BK Beauty brushes are PERFECTION. I have others (It Cosmetics, HUDA Beauty), but I think this is a personal preference issue.
hi 🌸 love your videos! Would you please post a link to the rectangle mirror that you use to apply makeup? ty ☺️
I feel as though I have indeed learned from your video. Thanks
Excellent video! Thank you for help. Would you please do a video of your makeup that you are wearing in this video. Your eyes look awesome!!!!!
Thank you! Video coming soon! :) I am wearing a new eyeshadow palette by Charlotte Tilbury: bit.ly/3Qttkj7 (Sephora) bit.ly/3FkgxsE (Charlotte Tilbury).
Really enjoy educational, tutorial type videos. Thank you.
Thank you Ginger!
