100% yes to a video of how to get your eyeshadow to last all day without creasing!!

I'm in absolute agreement on the skin prep. It makes a HUGE difference. I love Neutrogena hydro gel water gel moisturizer. It works so great under makeup and doesn't pill. I go in with Milk Hydro grip primer after to get my skin is sticky so it holds my makeup in place.

“… and now you might be thinking ‘powder duh’ - no, rude, don’t interrupt me.” 😂❤ always entertaining and educational, the perfect combo 🥰

Excuse me but your skin is fabulous! The skincare journey definitely paid off

I used to spray the setting mist as the final step. But after watching this video and after one week of doing the 'setting mist after all creams' method: what a make-up game changer! My make-up looked more skin-like and lasts longer than before. I'm blown away by how my base looks after a long day. Thank you, thank you so much for sharing!

My wedding is in two weeks and I've really been working on perfecting my base makeup so it lasts... Great timing!

[melissacarpenter]

I just started following you and watching your videos and I absolutely love how you describe each step of every process to people like me don’t know a whole lot about make up. I’m really starting to appreciate the artistry that goes until all of this. Thank you! And by the way, because of your videos, I completely nailed my bronzer today.

The best thing she said “ small amount of the powder “ this what I really start doing. Am a muslim and I wear Hijab for most of the time outside. Every time I wear makeup I face an issue with having a cakey face + even with a setting spray the power leave marks and stain my Hijab which makes me look not clean and dusty 🙂💔 when I start reduce the amount of makeup and put the minimum amount of powder I enjoyed the result and I look more natural 😍

I can never figure out how to do “glass skin” with makeup lol, I can only ever get it to work with bare face and skincare, so this will be helpful

The game-changer for my oily skin was definately SERUMS! They are not as heavy as creams and absorb somewhat easier also. I usually go for a serum more water-based instead of oil based, even looking for as little amount of oil as I can but looking for it to have other moisturizing ingredients. For example, what I currently use as a fave for skin prep is a hyaluronic acid serum :)

I've been slowly adopting the less is more makeup application style and UGHHH it's like you read my mind every time😩😫💗💓💖💞 EXACTLY the video I needed, luv ya girl <3

Primers have never seemed to do for me what they do for other people. I have oily/combo skin and it's taken years to curate a skincare routine that works for me. I feel so validated for using my moisturizer like a primer for the times when I do use makeup. The only primer I've tried that's ever sort of worked is the Elf Mint Melt Primer (Which they unfortunately don't make anymore). I'm a cosplayer so when I do cosplay makeup for conventions, I need that staying power, and I love the trick of setting your liquid/cream makeup with a setting spray before putting on powder!

[dcarangi]

Holy crap this was really eye opening for me! My face is an oil slick so I always just assumed that more powder will have to do. I always end up reapplying constantly and looking like a baked cakey disaster by the end of the day. Thank you for this!

[rafaelasofia]

i would love to see something on covering up rosacea! you’re a lifesaver

[mariamartinez]

There's like 2 of you on youtube that actually educate on make up, I appreciate you not just always..selling lol I understand we all have to survive but you keep it as real as possible ❤

[Creeperghoul]

Also set makeup before applying makeup spray to the face after skin care and priming ensures makeup lasts you never spray after makeup because it reactivates the makeup mainly the powders and what liquids you’ve set
Which is why makeup breaks down fast because you’ve put something wet on face after it’s set
Putting it on before makeup ensures longevity and no creasing
I’m a MUA professionally since 2018 and this is what I’ve learnt over the years

[Lynnonymous]

I love these educational like videos. Thank you so much! You look flawless, even before makeup.

[piyusarkar]
