I'm totally loving Nikkitutorial's tip on Nivea Men's Shave Balm for a primer. It works like a champ and makes the foundation Stay.All.Day. It is heavily scented in case that's a deal breaker for you, but the scent dissipates in a short time.
+Leslie Ryalls I tried it as well.. the "sensitive" version is not as scented if the scent bugs you. It's great, but too moisturizing for my oily skin under makeup. If you have normal or dry skin I would suggest a try.
Recently I've been hearing a lot of good things about this. I smelled it today at the store, it smelled like cologne so I didn't buy it. Maybe I'll pick it up if you say the smell fades
+Malinda West I can only speak to the sensitive variety but within about 30 seconds the smell is gone. I kept it to try again in the winter. It feels great on and made my foundation look great too.
I have used this a few times and I agree, it works awesome. Once I used it for an outside wedding in July and my makeup stayed in place very nicely. I do not use it often but when I need it, it hasn't failed me.
This is a technique that could be nice for a special occasion, like a once in a while thing. Prolonged use could probably damage the skin. I do love the Monistat Chafing Gel as a primer though, I use it all the time on myself and my clients, it's awesome!
Jenna G I'm simply sharing a real celebrity makeup artist secret that works ... every performer form J Lo to Beyonce has used this method to keep makeup flawless when on stage and I've been doing this trick for 6 months steadily to see if it changed my skin in any negative way (my skin is better than ever). You can find a bad thing to say about almost anything, but if you feel the risk is too high don't do it ... do what works for you. This is just an option for those special days when you need your makeup to hold up ~ xo's
Well Tati did say that celebrities use it specially when they are performing. so, maybe we dont nedd to use it everyday and just exclusively use it on this special days when we need that extra longetivity from our base.
+Tati I've worn it daily for over five years.. it has done nothing but improve my skin. Not only does it fix the oil issue immediately it made my skin progressively less oily over time. I even use it on my eyelids under my regular primer.. makes my shadow stay in the Louisiana heat and humidity when nothing else would. I've accidentally gotten it IN my eye before, didn't even sting. There is a lot of speculation out there ( and a bunch of "crusaders" who bash every post they find regarding it) but I have yet to find an actual case of actual damage on an actual person.. I have seen one or two allergic reactions but you can be allergic to anything.. I'm allergic to "everyone's sweetheart" argan oil- breaks me out in a rash like you wouldn't believe. I keep it in a little travel bottle and just apply with my fingers. After a while it thickens up into a more cream consistency which makes it even easier to handle, if it gets too thick just add some water and shake. Nozzles, pumps, etc do not work with it so just find one with a screw off lid. It does leave a white cast but your foundation fixes that.. if you want to go bare faced just put on a bit of primer or sunblock.
Tati! This makeup and hair is so so so beautiful on you! You look amazing in this video! You look so fresh and radiant and happy and I just can't say enough. You. Look. Amazing. Please share this whole face and hair look with us! 😍😍😍
Tati - I love that you actually put things to the test on your channel! I'm so sick of the same boring hauls and favorites. I want to see things in action! You have the perfect mix of content
your hair and makeup in this video are just stunning!!! you are always beautiful, but something about this overall look was just kapow, almost reminded me of megan fox in a way!
I found your channel back when you started Tip Tuesdays and I was so sad when you stopped doing them. I hope this becomes a permanent series again! I know it's hard to come up with a ton of beauty tips, but there are hacks out there you can easily include in Tip Tuesday videos. As a MUA, I personally don't use this one, just because it can mess with your faces pH levels. But none the less, I'm so happy to see you bringing this back. Thumbs up Tati!
This isn't really a secret anymore, people have known about it a long time. People should do some research though before using these products not intended for your face. Just because it works doesn't mean it's good for your skin. Using this a lot can actually dry out your skin but the main thing is the pH level in this stuff is 10.5, double what your skins natural pH level is. Using this a lot creates an excessively alkaline environment on your skin (instead of acidic) bringing your pH level up which will then remove your skins natural protection and therefore can cause damage to your skin. This info can easily be found online too so it's surprising that makeup artists use this as a secret tip...
+BellaLove The stomach has a even lower ph of 1.5 and people eat this stuff. Tati's just saying it'd be a great product to use for weddings etc. Using it on occasion. Same concept as with taking it as a laxative. Let's just say too much of anything isn't good for you LOL
+turtIesRcool Although she did say in the video that she has been using this for 6 months consistently which means she's probably using it way way more than it should be used. I'm sure her pH level has changed in her skin if she's been using it that much but she just doesn't know.
she is just giving a tip,yes most MUA,or enthusiasts prob know but I'd hardly say "everyone" and people are using products meant for the face with horrible ingredients like tea tree oil,or lavender
Tati!! Your makeup has never looked better!! For real so beautiful on you! Is there a tutorial coming soon on this or can you put in the description bar what you used?? The lavender eyes with the peach lips is stunning
I tried this a few years ago when I was going through some teenage acne to try to reduce oils and help control my skin and it did make me break out! I'm sure it works well for someone that doesn't have troubled skin but for people that are prone to breakouts I would use with caution :)
Tati, you NEED to try Nivea Men's Original After Shave Balm- Replenishing. Your foundation will never apply so beautifully or evenly. You'll fall in love after you have applied foundation and powder. I promise you, it will rock your world!!! Love your videos, by the way. I watch every single video you create and I've been a loyal subbie for two years! 😘
I would advise any wanting to use this as a primer to do research first. Prolonged use of this does change the ph of your skin. So please do research first. I love your eye makeup Tati!
First, let me say I love the Tip Tuesday videos! I would like to request a Tip Tuesday subject on cream blush vs powder blush....when to use which one;how to apply for best appearance; which one do you prefer, and why.
Nikki from Nikkitutorials uses Nivea men's aftershave. She says the first ingredient is glycerine and that's why it has staying power! I haven't tried it yet but i will!
Stephanie Caza It actually works really well! I have slightly oily skin in the t-zone and since using it I've seen a vast improvement in the longevity of my foundation. Highly recommend :)
+Cait Patterson I recently just found out about Nikki using the men's aftershave. I was stunned!! haha. A very oily skinned gal myself, thought about giving it a shot. if she made a video about it, I haven't seen it but, you're saying it really works?
Jamie C It really does! I usually take a quarter size amount and start working in circular motions all over my face. You will know when to start applying your foundation because it will start to feel tacky on the skin. I've never really believed primers do anything but I could tell a difference the first day or two after trying this method. I found mine at Target in the shaving/razor section. Hope this helps :)
Well I guess I was the only one to not know about this tip so, Thaaaaaaank uuu Tati for share this, I never here about this so u have help me a lot in this one! I believe everything u suggest so even if this trick was already say by other gurus or makeup artist, if it comes from u a believe it 100% I watch many other girls on TH-cam just because I love to see them doing they makeup but if I actually want to learn something or know about tricks & tips or know the suggestions about products, etc. etc. U are my No. 1 Keep it on Girl! 😃😉👏👏👍👍💖🏆👑
I love diy tips but yeah I messed around with this one before, but after doing a lot of research, I found milk of magnesia ph is too alkaline for the skin. so it can disrupt the skin and dry out and irritate it a lot, our natural skin is always slightly acidic. but, hey some people swear by putting baking soda on their face (which scares me but to each his own). I think this still isn't bad for special occasions, I know drag queens do it. I'm anal about skin care and have very sensitive skin though so it's not for me.
I learned this years ago but since I live in Sweden I have no idea what Milk of magnesia is? And what I can buy from my drugstore here that is the same product. Id love to know cos I have oily skin!
hahahaha nice one!! but logically let's say they do it because of the ingredients.. They have checked and they related to something that has been proved that has some benefits.. but who knows maybe is as u said 😂😂😂
But what even makes them think to check to ingredients?? I'm not usually in the feminine care aisle or medical aisle looking for stuff for my makeup routine. Lol. I'm not busting anyone's chops, I'm loving the tip. It's just funny to me. 😊
+Amanda Fox, I was wondering the same thing, hehe. I was thinking if someone just accidentally spilled milk of magnesia on their face (while missing the spoon to mouth motion) and said to themselves " wow this would be a really good make up primer" lol
no, actually it's because if you have ever used a silicone based primer, you know it's texture and the ingredients. if you feel the monistat primer, it's the exact same texture and almost identical ingredients. not hard for someone to realize.
Yay!! Tip Tuesday is back!! You look beautiful btw!
Us oily skinned girls have known about this for AGES.
+letslurkbec Me either! And at 58 I'm STILL oily
Butter Pecan Rican Yep! I used to use this to treat acne in jr. high!
I didn't know this.
Yup but I've never used it because it is bad for your skin.
You are so right gurl! but I stop using it because I heard it was bad for your skin.
Tati, you are my absolute favorite. Please don't ever change!
YES!! I've missed tip tuesday! It was always my favorite aspect of tuesdays!

+Malinda West it defiantly fades :) works well for my dry skin! I love it. Friendly on the pocket 2!
Malinda West and +Waymire01 ---it def fades fairly quickly. I did get the one for sensitive skin, too. :)
+Malinda West I can only speak to the sensitive variety but within about 30 seconds the smell is gone. I kept it to try again in the winter. It feels great on and made my foundation look great too.

I do love the Monistat Chafing Gel as a primer though, I use it all the time on myself and my clients, it's awesome!
Yep the Monistat gel is amazing!!!!
you look really glowing in this video!!!
Love tip Tuesday! Love how often you upload! Love YOU😘😘
a quick google search of this will reveal that extended use of this is so so bad for your skin!

Yes, it messes up the PH drastically, even though it doesn't look like it on the surface
+Jenna G Interesting, thank you for that info

That stunning eye shadow makes your eyes pop!!!
your hair and makeup in this video are just stunning!!! you are always beautiful, but something about this overall look was just kapow, almost reminded me of megan fox in a way!

YESSSS the return of Tip Tuesday! Very interesting, seems like something that would be perfect for an outdoors wedding in a hot place :)

+turtIesRcool K. There are countless articles about this stuff messing up your skin and any good dermatologist would tell you not to use often.
LOL too much of anything's bad. same with apple cider vinegar and lemons but people still use it anyway for their acne or pigmentation and what not.
she is just giving a tip,yes most MUA,or enthusiasts prob know but I'd hardly say "everyone" and people are using products meant for the face with horrible ingredients like tea tree oil,or lavender
I love Tip Tuesday!!! :)
Oh yes! Ive watched lots of pro make up artists recommend this! 👌🏼

Can u do a tutorial on the eye look ur wearing? It's soooo beautiful!!!
THE BEST U HAVE EVER LOOKED..wow..stunning!

Please do a tutorial on the makeup you're wearing in this video. So beautiful!!
I don't know what it is but you look so pretty in this video, you're always pretty but just wow!
You are a genius. Thank you for the tip. You are seriously the best makeup guru on TH-cam.
LOVE TIP TUESDAY!! ❤️❤️
I love it!!!! Stopping after work for this! Love you Tati! Thanks!!!
I learned this years ago but since I live in Sweden I have no idea what Milk of magnesia is? And what I can buy from my drugstore here that is the same product. Id love to know cos I have oily skin!
Your makeup looks really pretty, with the navy tee. Good colors on you.
1- you look absolutely gorgeous in this video! 2- thanks for sharing the tip. I didn't know about this trick so it was helpful for me
I love Tip Tuesday!! 😻❤️
Absolutely love your makeup in this video!
Love your makeup in this video! Lips!! 😍
I love your eyes !!! Can you do video about this look ?
LOL "we're talking about putting laxatives, on your face" 😂😂😂
wow this makeup look looks amazing on you!!! you are so so pretty💟💟💟 love you so so much
You look flawless!
Tip Tuesday, oh... Yaaaaasssss! :D
How do people come up with this stuff? Lol. Like, I'm just going to rub this here Monistat on my face and see what happens. Haha
I just laughed out so loud I choked on my coffee. Hahahaha.
hahahaha nice one!! but logically let's say they do it because of the ingredients.. They have checked and they related to something that has been proved that has some benefits.. but who knows maybe is as u said 😂😂😂
But what even makes them think to check to ingredients?? I'm not usually in the feminine care aisle or medical aisle looking for stuff for my makeup routine. Lol. I'm not busting anyone's chops, I'm loving the tip. It's just funny to me. 😊
+Amanda Fox, I was wondering the same thing, hehe. I was thinking if someone just accidentally spilled milk of magnesia on their face (while missing the spoon to mouth motion) and said to themselves " wow this would be a really good make up primer" lol
no, actually it's because if you have ever used a silicone based primer, you know it's texture and the ingredients. if you feel the monistat primer, it's the exact same texture and almost identical ingredients. not hard for someone to realize.
