Summary - Wash face well - Use a moisturiser or facial oil - Use a damp beauty blender for the foundation and pat on the face - Push setting powder into the face with a beauty blender - Use setting spray
I am 62. I did everything you instructed, and today my make up looked amazing. Thank you so much. I just got the Exfoliant in my Ipsy bag. Good timing! I love it!
I just want to thank you!! I have been binge watching all your videos for a couple weeks now and all I can say is WOW!!! I’m 45 with oily textured skin with big pores and have struggled with them my whole life !!! Over the last 2 yrs I have gone through a full body transformation losing 170lbs and a toxic mind set!!! I’m finally happy with myself, come to realize it wasn’t the weight at all I was unhappy with, but anyway , I’ve gotten on some great skincare routines, but still learning , but still look ten yrs young in just 2 months!!! Anyway I finally did my makeup Friday the “right way” and omg I did not even recognized myself!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Any tips for someone trying to loose weight and be more positive. I'm about to be 41yrs old and I've always wanted to loose the weight for good. I'm so sick of being this heavy. 😫
@@hye7777 yup it sucks so bad. I guess it's a mindset. I've tried throughout the years but I've never lost a huge amount. I guess you have to want it bad enough and not give up. I just want to have more energy and not have to worry about fitting into clothes or having back pain. I feel like I let my whole identity of being fat rule my life and all my decisions.I'm so tired of this being my story I tell to myself.
@@theresag.4188 I was able to successfully lose 120 lb about 10 years ago. It stayed off for 3 years and then I went through some traumatic experiences and gained it all back plus more. It's definitely possible but believe me when I tell you it's not about the food and it's not about lack of exercise. It's about what's going on internally within you. Your subconscious mind, your thoughts and how you feel about yourself and how you speak to yourself and what you believe to be the truth about yourself, your emotions and how you cope with your emotions. It's all of that tied into one. Weight loss is very complex. It's not as simple as just counting calories and exercising. But if you do the work, and if I do the work, we can make it happen. This time, I want to do it with Jesus and not on my own. Jesus is the one who can heal us permanently 🙏
Lots of negative comments. I tried these tips and they WORK! My foundation looks much better with the blender bounce technique than with my expensive foundation brush.
These techniques were a game changer for me. I am so glad you made this video. Mature skin, sin damage and old scarring from acne makes for a less than perfect canvas. The application steps helped smoothen the appearance, cover imperfections and my primer and foundation lasted and did not look patchy or mask like at the end of the day! Thank you so much
The first TH-camr I’ve come across who’s whole video is less then most of the youtuber ‘introduction’ out here and honestly I love it! Can’t stand when they talk and talk for ages rather then getting to the point and for that reason I shall subscribe!
After she applies powder over foundation there is dark area all around her nostrils n lips so damn clearly visible on camera...after 3 mins...don't know how did she miss that..#texture
I️ love how much info you include in the videos for us! Never thought I️ was actually making things worse by rubbing primer in with my hands! Also never knew why I️ felt like I️ was removing make up by applying foundation and powder with brushes. Seriously thought I️ was crazy and that didn’t happen! LOL so this definitely made my day! Also your ring is STUNNING 😍
I noticed that if I used the sponge my make up looks so cakey and pores soooo huge and textured sling and if I use a brush and tap it looks AMAZING i guess it depends on what it works for everybody . Also I use everything in cream and not powders like blus highlighter etc so my skin kind absorbes it and if I use anything powder it looks soooo bad /cakey even when the fancy Laura mercier products .
Wow!!!!! Just what I needed to know. I am struggling with rough textured skin as I’m over 50 and have not taken the best care of my skin the last 10 Years. I am using a three month retinol treatment now to get rid of the buildup of rough skin. I’m using Josie Maran Milk as my moisturizer and getting great results but after I apply makeup I can see every little flaw. Especially after I apply my setting powder. I have setting spray but had no idea how to use it. Thanks for sharing this information!
Congratulations Nikkia on your 💍. I watch your videos regularly and I’ve learned so much from a fellow Aussie. Your bubbly personality is as bright as your smile and always a joy to watch.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I was struggling so hard with a number of issues and you have been a life saver! I greatly appreciate the incredibly helpful techniques you share. I also have to say it makes it so much easier to follow these tips because you do such a good job of thoroughly explaining the steps and the reasons behind why they work. Seriously, you have changed my make-up wearing experience drastically! I'm so much more confident now!
I have struggled with flakey dry skin and my makeup coming off 30 min after I put it on, even after exfoliating, but I did everything in this video and my makeup looked amazing for 6 hours! Prob would have lasted longer but I took it off. I will never use face brushes again when my skin is dry!! My beauty blender is my new best friend. Thank you Nikkia!!!!
Not really, there are exfoliating cleansers that are gentle enough on the skin to be used daily. There are also gentle exfoliating sponges that can be used daily also.
BFF exfoliating face wash from perfectly posh is gentle and very effective. Its naturally based ingredients with no filler ingredients and no sulfates. Yes I'm a consultant, my posh videos have the link in the description box.
So many TH-camrs don't bother tying their hair back or using a hair band when they do their make-up. The brushes get caught in their hair, they're constantly tucking it behind their ears or flicking it out of the way. So they many look a bit of a div while they're applying their make-up (my BFF has hysterics when I wear my rams ears hairband) but there'd be more of an impact to the finished look ...ok, rant over 😄.
Yesterday, I used brushes for my foundation/concealer/powder, and I swear I nearly cried by how bad the texture looked. I used all of these tips, except, I subbed a powder puff for the damp sponge for setting powder (a wet sponge in my powder just feels wrong lol) AND holy shit, i look like I have completely different skin. THANK YOU SO MUCH. sigh, I feel so much better today and excited to show off my make up
Yes I had the same issue so I figured out a way to actually make my skin look smoother I used one of those little razors that you can shave your eyebrows with and I used it all over my face got rid of every bit of peach fuzz then used ice to close pores and then put a smoothing lotion on my face and then my foundation and it came out really smooth looking
Can't wait to try your technique tomorrow using the beauty blender with my primer and setting powder. Ive only been using my blender to apply liquid foundation. Thanks for the tips 🙏
I just started wearing or rather trying to apply makeup so I'm looking for all the help TH-cam can offer. I'm 22 years old and very pale. Thank you for the tips! Keep up the good work!
Thank you girl! I've completely changed my skincare routine and the way I apply my makeup thanks to your tips and it's really working! I've ALWAYS struggled with textured, oily, acne prone skin and it's slowly getting better since I've made these changes. It's a long process, but finally I can see the light! Sooner or later I will invest on Dermalogica skincare as well, it is quite expensive, but since I trust you I'm sure it is woth the money! You are the best! Thank you!!
Ms H Do you mean the one she used or any type setting spray? I’m using “all nighter” and don’t feel it lasts 5 min. Although many strongly recommended it. Realized I don’t use a setting powder as she did however. ...just curious; Thank You! ( Difficult applying makeup that looks anywhere near flawless for me at 55. Idk what I’m doing wrong)
Nice to see more videos of sponge use, tried and true. And patting on the powder, it works wonderfully, people don't need to spend that much money on unnecessary brushes
Using my beauty blender to apply my setting powder changed my life! It felt weird at first but it makes all the difference in the world! Thanks for the tips!
Finally a video explaining how to deal with texture. This routine is so much simpler then what I thought and they way everyone else made it out to be. Thank you
@Haley Montesinos Struggle is real sweets. I have part oily nose, part textured and part dry patches between my eyebrows and apples of cheeks. Pretty sure God is testing me
@@terintiaflavius3349 something that helped my oil skin is spraying cucumber water on my face for hydration (make sure it's cold!!! In fridge) aloe vera (cold too) helps alot. Organic charcoal soaps are great they aren't stripping and are anti bacterial
i've always struggled with this for years, i only tend to put on concealer because my skin isnt that bad but i always find that putting it on with my finger works so much better for me and stops it from happening! :)
She does have horrible skin...many TH-camrs meet in real life on events...but it's the fact she wants people to think she fixed it and can help...she's using ring lights and filters...we all look like this on Snapchat even...and her icon pic she used the filter to make her skin look more textured...
I thought I was doing something wrong, but I LITERALLY do all of this before I put my make up on. And I use a Beauty Blender as well.. and I STILL have texture. I even get dermaplaning done. Sigh...
Samesies! The only thing I'm not doing is using the beauty blender for setting spray on my cheeks (I see texture there the most). What kind of foundation do you use? I'm going to experiment with some different brands and see if that helps. I really can't think of anything else :( Best of luck to you!
I know this a very old comment but... Everyone has texture! Your skin is textured and has hair follicles, pores, lines, bumps, breakouts, oil glands and so on! You aren't ever going to cover it so it's absolutely smooth! The more you work your foundation into the skin, the nicer it looks! I use a brush to pat into my skin and a fluffier brush to buff it out!
Subscribed 😊 this is the first video of yours I've seen but I love how you addressed something that I rarely see addressed, and never have seen explained so well and simply! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been needing a video like this for years and I had no idea! Question: have you ever tried a silicone makeup sponge? I'd love to hear what your take is on them. I have the kind if sponge you recommended and have been using that type for quite some time, but I just ordered a silicone one the other day to see what it's like. Reason being I'm a bit of a germaphobe and I hate having to constantly wash my sponges only to have them not get all the way clean and the texture gets rougher and I and up replacing them quite often. The silicone sponge appealed to me because first of all, it doesn't absorb your foundation so that you end up using alot less than with a normal sponge that it soaks into, plus they are super durable and easy to clean. I don't have any experience with them as of yet, this is just what I gave heard. If you have an opinion on them I'd love to hear it! Thanks again!
Girl look at that rock, congratulations!! 💍🍾 kinda had a feeling it was coming 😉 but anyway thanks so much for all the wonderful tips! You have basically taught me all about skincare and makeup within the last year or so and I am so grateful!!
+Klaire LeBlanc thank you so so much!! We are so excited!! It was so much fun announcing it on IG yesterday😍 and you’re more than welcome! I’m so glad I’ve been able to help xxx
Love the way this ArganLife oil makes my body feel and look. It has a nice citrus scent. After about 2 weeks, you can see an even natural tan color on your skin, even without being in the sun.
No matter what Products I use or how I use it, I don’t even have acne anymore but after I apply makeup it looks like I do, and large pores have a nice halo around each of them. I get super oily after a couple hours and my makeup just wipes off
PORES...OMGEEEE...They are a real pain in the behind. I have about 5 primers...all of them just wipe off when i apply foundation. my makeup is so horrible
Nope tried this and it ended up looking like the “Don’t” didn’t work for me AT ALL. Better when I use a combination of my fingers, beauty blenders and brushes. For me it really depends on the product.
I'm sure you've had plenty of positive comments, but just want to tell you, (even though this video is 2 or 3 years old) that this is a first-rate instructional video, regarding eliminating texture. You make *excellent* points, explain things well, and I send many people here to watch this.. I like to review it myself again time to time.☺ Thank you.
I tried this and I’m so angry that my skin was more textured than how I normally apply. DONT USE A BEAUTY BLENDER WHEN APPLYING PRIMER. Thats a terrible technique.
Well... the makeup people tell us we NEED a certain brush for their foundation, it'll never work without that brush. And we buy it. Because they're dying to sell us a $40 brush we don't need. And I fall for it too. Ugh. Definitely trying the beauty blender sponge for everything now.
When in my teens to early twenties - step 1: Put on any foundation that I thought matched. Good to go. 👍🏾 When in my 30s - step 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 67891011231415161718193081...then foundation.
I have big pores and the beauty blender only emphasize them. I use a flat brush and pat the foundation in because it covers my pores...no to the beauty blender only with setting powder it's ok with me.
The beauty blender worked great for my the first time I used one. I must have just had a good skin day or something. My pores are so huge and I also have all these dry areas that seem to be oily at the same time. I dont mean i have dry areas with an oily t zone. I literally have dry flaky skin that is effin oily! Anyway no brush or applicator works for my foundation application anymore! These girls make make up look so easy.
Oh my gosh! I don’t do much makeup so when I chose this video & saw you w/o makeup, you are amazingly beautiful. No makeup needed. After I remembered the reason for watching this anyway, to prevent flaky texture, your technique helped me tremendously. Thanks so much for putting this out there!
Do we really want to exfoliate before applying makeup if we wear makeup everyday? I wear makeup everyday and exfoliating everyday is gonna tear up the skin, right?
@@9mm.Lipstick Thank you for telling me because, even though my post is old, I just was about to give in to exfoliating everyday before applying makeup! No lie! Thank you. 😌
Thank you so much for creating this series especially this video and the ones on creasing and patchy foundation I have very dry and very sensitive and irritable skin ( I now finally found a skin care rutine with products I love that is helping ) and I fammy realized the way I was using powder was causing a lot of these exact issues with my foundation and as a very dry skin girl once I realized the problem was the way I was using my powder ( less is more for me ) and how is was or wasn’t prepping my skin properly everything my makeup is now staying so much smoother thank you

Can you make a video about red lipstick on fair skin? I love a good red lip but I feel like it makes my face somehow look harsh...? Anyone? Just me?
If you have fair complexion with pink undertone, it's best to stick with lipsticks with blue undertones so for example, ABH American Doll, Mac Ruby woo. If you have fair-light complexion with warm undertone it's best to stick with orange-redish undertone shades like, Mac's Russian Doll, Mac's Chilli, and 22 by Kylie Cosmetic.
I had the same problem but like GlowingxLights said, you have to find the right one for your skin tone. Blake’s Red (Rimmel) works amazing for me. I have cool undertones.
Watch Robert Welsh, he firstly doesn’t use a filter and talks about different methods to apply, never just throws one thing down (she has a beauty blender for sale in her range)
Idk what I do wrong... setting spray doesn’t keep makeup on 🙅🏻♀️ using “all nighter” Seems to last 5 min 😂 - maybe blotting w/ damp Sponge on as in this video will help?! - Anyone hv suggestions ?
This actually works! I'm in shock, last night I tried putting oil on my face before bed, then exfoliated in the morning and my skin looks AMAZING under my makeup today! I can't thank you enough for this headed out for the beauty blender tonight! Can't wait to try everything tomorrow
I see so many ppl say not to use a brush but my opinion about a brush or a beauty blender both are good for two different types of skin it just depends on the brush u are using I realized when I got a new brush from Boxycharm for foundation it worked great had a full coverage did not give me texture skin but I can see that the beauty blender works well too but I wish ppl would stop photo shopping and using filters to make their skin look flawless when nobody got skin that perfect
OMG! Thank you so much I actually stopped using foundation because of this. I had tried all different techniques plus had all the brushes happening and my skin looked like the craters of the moon! Just tried this and YIPPEE! Thanks so much
Before watching: general tip, adjust your skin care, apply a sheet mask before makeup, all do wonders to the skin 🤩 While watching: i use Chanel water foundation and it recommends using its own brush to burst the foundation bubbles .. works wonders 💕 Also, i use my powder brush to pat the powder to keep the products in place Post video: thank you! Definitely will switch from priming with my hands to the blender
beauty and darkness nah I never have what a waste of product have you seen how much comes out , I use expensive foundation once a week is ok for me , I always apply into clean skin and wrap it in cling to keep it clean
Was that a new "ring" on your finger girlfriend? I hope that means good news. Do you think there is a foundation out there that's better for "older" gals like myself? Full coverage I do need. Also the beauty blender. Does it have to be the true beauty blender at $22.00 or will another do. Thank you, I'm a big fan. You put a smile on my face while I just had some back surgery :-)
I know this is an old comment but I recently discovered the Sonia Kashuk beauty sponge for $7 and it's HUGE and soft and amazing! And it's black and white marble colored so it's seriously adorable.
Thanks for video I'm beginning and trying to figure out all the tips to be flawless and passable. And not look like a clown. So far I'm enjoying my process in this journey.
This was the most helpful video I have ever come across. I struggle with my textured skin since my skin changed after having my children, and I tried what u said and it worked!!!!
Also for the people who spent so much on thows expensive brushes and u just telling them to youse a dollar store spunge they be confused and turn off that filter
When i use a beauty blender, it makes it ten times WORSE. I blend it in like im supposed to, and it still makes my skin look even more textured. So, it doesnt work very well for me. Does anyone know another way to apply foundation/concealer?
use a lot of moisturiser on before, I found this helped a lot and apply this with a beauty blender and make sure when you've applied it your skin is shiny and feels like you've actually got moisturiser on instead of it all being rubbed in/off.
Due to ongoing issue with acne scars and large pores, I have been applying primer, then mixing primer with foundation and applying with hands. Honestly, it goes on super sleek and smooth. With blender i was looking like an orange peel 😖
Gah! Me too! I'm a cosmetologist but now that I'm in my thirties I feel like complexion makeup with a sponge makes me look SO old! I don't know what to do.
@@bella-fh2pi thanks, I'll try this. I have the driest oily skin EVER. I've tried Neutrogena and all fancy products. I'ma try a normal moisturizer not for oily skin. My makeup looks dry and horrible and ages me by at least 10 years
I got a new pair of glasses three days ago, I haven’t worn them in years. Put them on, and did not realize my makeup was so cakey. No one ever told me!!
In a video on pores you say to use a brush to apply foundation and fill pores but here you say use a beauty blender. If I have massive pores do I do a brush or beauty blender?
The oil helped my skin so much. I was using my fingers to apply my concealer. So, I switched to a beauty blender and it looks so much better. Thank you for a great video.
anyone else look amazing in your mirror in your room and then you go to school and see yourself in your camera in the school lighting and want to barf
Emma Davis yes 😭
Or when u take ur mirror to ur window and realise how rough ur skin is omg-
Omggg if dis ain’t me
Big mood
Hahahahahah

Good application tips but physically exfoliating your skin daily can cause more harm than good in the long run.
Yeah exactly making g it more dry and stripped from natural oils...
Not really, there are exfoliating cleansers that are gentle enough on the skin to be used daily. There are also gentle exfoliating sponges that can be used daily also.
@@krystlerobertson2812 can you suggest some? I have really oily skin

so true. those flowers aren’t that pretty in real life... Get a glove and catch a clue hunty
Yea I really wish makeup tutorials didn't have super bright lights and filters because I want to see how the makeup would look irl

Using my beauty blender to apply my setting powder changed my life! It felt weird at first but it makes all the difference in the world! Thanks for the tips!
Finally a video explaining how to deal with texture. This routine is so much simpler then what I thought and they way everyone else made it out to be. Thank you
I also love my foundation brush more than beauty blender.
If u have textured skin, u shouldn't use powder, just use the setting spray
I'll try that! 👍 sounds Much easier lol
@Haley Montesinos Struggle is real sweets. I have part oily nose, part textured and part dry patches between my eyebrows and apples of cheeks. Pretty sure God is testing me
@@terintiaflavius3349 also take gentle handkerchief or tissue and dab it gently when you get oily outside the house don't rub it
@@terintiaflavius3349 something that helped my oil skin is spraying cucumber water on my face for hydration (make sure it's cold!!! In fridge) aloe vera (cold too) helps alot. Organic charcoal soaps are great they aren't stripping and are anti bacterial
I just tried this technique... and I’m amazed!!! I just used my beauty blender and concealer brush for my dark spots. I loved the results! 😍😍
i've always struggled with this for years, i only tend to put on concealer because my skin isnt that bad but i always find that putting it on with my finger works so much better for me and stops it from happening! :)
You don't even have textured skin
you can see it when her camera doesn't auto smooth the areas. watch time 3:28 around her nose area
L_Mariee I agree... Honestly a beauty blender never actually covered my pores. Even a silicone one never smoothed out my foundation enough.
L_Mariee *big pores can be considered as "textured skin" and she has big pores as I have seen in some of her videos soo*
She does have horrible skin...many TH-camrs meet in real life on events...but it's the fact she wants people to think she fixed it and can help...she's using ring lights and filters...we all look like this on Snapchat even...and her icon pic she used the filter to make her skin look more textured...
Why cant you just use CLEAN hands to apply your foundation?
I thought I was doing something wrong, but I LITERALLY do all of this before I put my make up on. And I use a Beauty Blender as well.. and I STILL have texture. I even get dermaplaning done. Sigh...
Samesies! The only thing I'm not doing is using the beauty blender for setting spray on my cheeks (I see texture there the most). What kind of foundation do you use? I'm going to experiment with some different brands and see if that helps. I really can't think of anything else :(
Best of luck to you!
I know this a very old comment but... Everyone has texture! Your skin is textured and has hair follicles, pores, lines, bumps, breakouts, oil glands and so on! You aren't ever going to cover it so it's absolutely smooth! The more you work your foundation into the skin, the nicer it looks! I use a brush to pat into my skin and a fluffier brush to buff it out!
Subscribed 😊 this is the first video of yours I've seen but I love how you addressed something that I rarely see addressed, and never have seen explained so well and simply! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been needing a video like this for years and I had no idea! Question: have you ever tried a silicone makeup sponge? I'd love to hear what your take is on them. I have the kind if sponge you recommended and have been using that type for quite some time, but I just ordered a silicone one the other day to see what it's like. Reason being I'm a bit of a germaphobe and I hate having to constantly wash my sponges only to have them not get all the way clean and the texture gets rougher and I and up replacing them quite often. The silicone sponge appealed to me because first of all, it doesn't absorb your foundation so that you end up using alot less than with a normal sponge that it soaks into, plus they are super durable and easy to clean. I don't have any experience with them as of yet, this is just what I gave heard. If you have an opinion on them I'd love to hear it! Thanks again!
Wow she has been the only artist that's worked for me I was doing every single wrong she mentioned
Nothing is ever wrong, so many ways and no rules ☺️
I FOUND THIS AS THE MOST USEFUL TIPS ON YT AGAINST TEXTURES! THANK GOD YOU MADE THIS VIDEO. XOXOXOOX
Thx Hunni never thought of applying my primer with a beauty blender . thx for the great tips ❤️
I’m so distracted that the foundation does not match her skin tone 🥺
Kristine Luna same!
Same!!
I know, right?? Way too yellow. And I hate that red lipstick... just too much.
It looks green!
Girl look at that rock, congratulations!! 💍🍾 kinda had a feeling it was coming 😉 but anyway thanks so much for all the wonderful tips! You have basically taught me all about skincare and makeup within the last year or so and I am so grateful!!
+Klaire LeBlanc thank you so so much!! We are so excited!! It was so much fun announcing it on IG yesterday😍 and you’re more than welcome! I’m so glad I’ve been able to help xxx
Love the way this ArganLife oil makes my body feel and look. It has a nice citrus scent. After about 2 weeks, you can see an even natural tan color on your skin, even without being in the sun.
Best video for make up tips ive seen! You dont ramble on which i find alot of other youtubers do, your my new fav!
This was super helpful! I will stop using my brush and use my blender instead! Thanks xoxo
Courtney Gavin
Does it make a difference for you ? Just curious & searching for answers
You edit the thumbnail? Great tip :p

It’s clickbait genius
1:42 I love how you say November😂
*LOL*
Can’t wait to try this! Texture is my biggest issue and I feel I look older as soon as I put on foundation and powder 💝
does it actually work?
you changed my foundation game for the best ! Thank you a lot!
Blur effect helps a lot.
No matter what Products I use or how I use it, I don’t even have acne anymore but after I apply makeup it looks like I do, and large pores have a nice halo around each of them. I get super oily after a couple hours and my makeup just wipes off
PORES...OMGEEEE...They are a real pain in the behind. I have about 5 primers...all of them just wipe off when i apply foundation. my makeup is so horrible
Nope tried this and it ended up looking like the “Don’t” didn’t work for me AT ALL. Better when I use a combination of my fingers, beauty blenders and brushes. For me it really depends on the product.
PLEASE PEOPLE DONT READ COMMENTS AND THINK ITS THE RIGHT ADVISE! Research it all on your own, it's your skin not someone else's.
I'm sure you've had plenty of positive comments, but just want to tell you, (even though this video is 2 or 3 years old) that this is a first-rate instructional video, regarding eliminating texture. You make *excellent* points, explain things well, and I send many people here to watch this.. I like to review it myself again time to time.☺ Thank you.
would love to see your favorite skin care products (exfoliants, masks, serums, moisturizers, etc) for textured skin!
I tried this and I’m so angry that my skin was more textured than how I normally apply. DONT USE A BEAUTY BLENDER WHEN APPLYING PRIMER. Thats a terrible technique.
Well... the makeup people tell us we NEED a certain brush for their foundation, it'll never work without that brush. And we buy it. Because they're dying to sell us a $40 brush we don't need. And I fall for it too. Ugh. Definitely trying the beauty blender sponge for everything now.
this was so useful! not moisturising after exfoliating can cause texture in drier skin types though so be careful with your skin everyone :)
Beauty blender is my bff can't believe I used to live life without it n wow flawless skin I'd kill for skin like u nikki x
Damnnn look at that rock!! 😍😍 Congrats on your engagement!! 💚💚💚
Awesome video as always, you look gorgeous!
When in my teens to early twenties - step 1: Put on any foundation that I thought matched. Good to go. 👍🏾
When in my 30s - step 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 67891011231415161718193081...then foundation.
shymickey6 😂
@@chameleongirl 😁
I know! 😖
shymickey6
Good one 😂
I have big pores and the beauty blender only emphasize them. I use a flat brush and pat the foundation in because it covers my pores...no to the beauty blender only with setting powder it's ok with me.
ashleyjlucio96 u can beauty blend after u dab the Sheseido's foundation brush to ur pores it covers well too for me :3
I'm the same I pat with a nice brush the beauty blender makes me look cakey always weird I know.
Yea the beauty blender doesn’t work for me. It also removes color correction :(
The beauty blender worked great for my the first time I used one. I must have just had a good skin day or something. My pores are so huge and I also have all these dry areas that seem to be oily at the same time. I dont mean i have dry areas with an oily t zone. I literally have dry flaky skin that is effin oily! Anyway no brush or applicator works for my foundation application anymore! These girls make make up look so easy.
ashleyjlucio96 omg I thought it was just me. Beauty blender does nothing for me makes my pores look worse and I cannot get enough coverage
Oh my gosh! I don’t do much makeup so when I chose this video & saw you w/o makeup, you are amazingly beautiful. No makeup needed. After I remembered the reason for watching this anyway, to prevent flaky texture, your technique helped me tremendously. Thanks so much for putting this out there!
My very expensive brushes are redundant now, this technique works for me thanks❤️
Do we really want to exfoliate before applying makeup if we wear makeup everyday? I wear makeup everyday and exfoliating everyday is gonna tear up the skin, right?
U look like my sister....sheria
@@MuhammadShahid-iw2ft really? Cool! 🤗 Sorry for the late reply. I've never been notified.
Don't exfoliate everyday!
@@9mm.Lipstick Thank you for telling me because, even though my post is old, I just was about to give in to exfoliating everyday before applying makeup! No lie! Thank you. 😌
The real answer is using a beauty filter
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
do a real close one.. to see if it looks cakie
You look soooo much better without any makeup
Thank you so much for creating this series especially this video and the ones on creasing and patchy foundation I have very dry and very sensitive and irritable skin ( I now finally found a skin care rutine with products I love that is helping ) and I fammy realized the way I was using powder was causing a lot of these exact issues with my foundation and as a very dry skin girl once I realized the problem was the way I was using my powder ( less is more for me ) and how is was or wasn’t prepping my skin properly everything my makeup is now staying so much smoother thank you
Can you make a video about red lipstick on fair skin? I love a good red lip but I feel like it makes my face somehow look harsh...? Anyone? Just me?
If you have fair complexion with pink undertone, it's best to stick with lipsticks with blue undertones so for example, ABH American Doll, Mac Ruby woo. If you have fair-light complexion with warm undertone it's best to stick with orange-redish undertone shades like, Mac's Russian Doll, Mac's Chilli, and 22 by Kylie Cosmetic.
I had the same problem but like GlowingxLights said, you have to find the right one for your skin tone. Blake’s Red (Rimmel) works amazing for me. I have cool undertones.
Tímea Tarjányi me too & with red hair. I feel a bit overwhelmed by the look but would love to wear one confidently
Kristy Kelly thank you so much for the recommendation x
Tímea Tarjányi I️ feel like dark lips age me more makes me look older
I do all of your tips , but since I sweat a lot, my makeup always looks like sh*t 😔😔
She photoshops her thumb nails and uses a beauty filter on her camera. So sick of this fake bs. Just be real girl
but that would reveal the truth about the amazing products she's advertising ;)
The Peter Thomas Roth peel gel exfoliant is a great exfoliant for dry skin, especially during the winter
This is the best common sense video on how to apply foundation correctly ty!
I don't like beauty blenders xD they absorb too much foundation and I end up using more
Put your foundation on your face with your hand or a brush.
And then use a beauty blender
I don’t either it makes my coverage disappear
Watch Robert Welsh, he firstly doesn’t use a filter and talks about different methods to apply, never just throws one thing down (she has a beauty blender for sale in her range)
Oh my word this makes so much sense! Why have I suffered for soooo long 😭
Okay but I do all this and my skin still looks textured??
Idk what I do wrong... setting spray doesn’t keep makeup on 🙅🏻♀️ using “all nighter”
Seems to last 5 min 😂
- maybe blotting w/ damp
Sponge on as in this video will help?!
- Anyone hv suggestions ?
Use a no pore primer as it fills out the majority of your pores I recommend the no poreblem one.
Hope this helps
This actually works! I'm in shock, last night I tried putting oil on my face before bed, then exfoliated in the morning and my skin looks AMAZING under my makeup today! I can't thank you enough for this headed out for the beauty blender tonight! Can't wait to try everything tomorrow
I see so many ppl say not to use a brush but my opinion about a brush or a beauty blender both are good for two different types of skin it just depends on the brush u are using I realized when I got a new brush from Boxycharm for foundation it worked great had a full coverage did not give me texture skin but I can see that the beauty blender works well too but I wish ppl would stop photo shopping and using filters to make their skin look flawless when nobody got skin that perfect
That photoshopped picture tho
Right!!!! I can’t. Loo
So if your advising us to ditch the brushes in favour of a sponge for Foundation and powder... What do you use for blusher, contour and highlight??
Also a sponge 🙄
musicisremylife 😂
so, do you use a beauty blender to apply bronzer, blush, and highlight too?
OMG! Thank you so much I actually stopped using foundation because of this. I had tried all different techniques plus had all the brushes happening and my skin looked like the craters of the moon! Just tried this and YIPPEE! Thanks so much
Before watching: general tip, adjust your skin care, apply a sheet mask before makeup, all do wonders to the skin 🤩
While watching: i use Chanel water foundation and it recommends using its own brush to burst the foundation bubbles .. works wonders 💕
Also, i use my powder brush to pat the powder to keep the products in place
Post video: thank you! Definitely will switch from priming with my hands to the blender
How do you apply your blusher? Use the same beauty blender or brush?
I think you should wash you beauty blender every day before you use it.....
i do a deep clean every week but because it gets wet everyday anyway i think i do mine enough
@@bella-fh2pi wet doesn't equal clean
beauty and darkness nah I never have what a waste of product have you seen how much comes out , I use expensive foundation once a week is ok for me , I always apply into clean skin and wrap it in cling to keep it clean
Was that a new "ring" on your finger girlfriend? I hope that means good news. Do you think there is a foundation out there that's better for "older" gals like myself? Full coverage I do need. Also the beauty blender. Does it have to be the true beauty blender at $22.00 or will another do. Thank you, I'm a big fan. You put a smile on my face while I just had some back surgery :-)
I know this is an old comment but I recently discovered the Sonia Kashuk beauty sponge for $7 and it's HUGE and soft and amazing! And it's black and white marble colored so it's seriously adorable.
Thanks for video I'm beginning and trying to figure out all the tips to be flawless and passable. And not look like a clown. So far I'm enjoying my process in this journey.
This was the most helpful video I have ever come across. I struggle with my textured skin since my skin changed after having my children, and I tried what u said and it worked!!!!
When the video first loaded I thought this was tati
Also for the people who spent so much on thows expensive brushes and u just telling them to youse a dollar store spunge they be confused and turn off that filter
When i use a beauty blender, it makes it ten times WORSE. I blend it in like im supposed to, and it still makes my skin look even more textured. So, it doesnt work very well for me. Does anyone know another way to apply foundation/concealer?
use a lot of moisturiser on before, I found this helped a lot and apply this with a beauty blender and make sure when you've applied it your skin is shiny and feels like you've actually got moisturiser on instead of it all being rubbed in/off.
Due to ongoing issue with acne scars and large pores, I have been applying primer, then mixing primer with foundation and applying with hands. Honestly, it goes on super sleek and smooth. With blender i was looking like an orange peel 😖
Gah! Me too! I'm a cosmetologist but now that I'm in my thirties I feel like complexion makeup with a sponge makes me look SO old! I don't know what to do.
mistedbliss try using a brush first then lightly tapping with a slightly damp beauty blender to make sure everything is in place (:!
@@bella-fh2pi thanks, I'll try this. I have the driest oily skin EVER. I've tried Neutrogena and all fancy products. I'ma try a normal moisturizer not for oily skin. My makeup looks dry and horrible and ages me by at least 10 years
The best makeup tip I have ever gotten (besides combatting the oily skin too gave). Makes sense. New subscriber here.
I got a new pair of glasses three days ago, I haven’t worn them in years. Put them on, and did not realize my makeup was so cakey. No one ever told me!!
In a video on pores you say to use a brush to apply foundation and fill pores but here you say use a beauty blender. If I have massive pores do I do a brush or beauty blender?
Rachel Zarayko ay, youtubers freaking contradict themselves every single time.
Beauty blender
Loving that ring 👌💕 Congrats beautiful 💋
+Neda Baharan Thank you so much!!!! We are so excited😍😍
This video was right on!
The oil helped my skin so much. I was using my fingers to apply my concealer. So, I switched to a beauty blender and it looks so much better. Thank you for a great video.
I honestly think you are more beautiful without make up. You’re fierce!
