Meredith Duxbury foundation challenge

I see there aren’t a lot of Meredith fans around here 😅. You guys I love watching her - she isn’t hurting anyone!

[@isabellaevens8334]

I only sub to her for eyeshadow and stuff. I don't care about the foundation and other stuff she does

[@tyleirain9457]

I’m just afraid not all her make up is cruelty, free, and using that much make up means she’s buying crap load pf make up which means poor innocent animals are being tested on so that she can cake her face in make up

[@Unicorn723]

I only have one question HOW DOES SHE HAVE SUCH A PERFECT SKIN WITH THAT CAKED FACE ☠️☠️☠️ P.S. she is sooo fun to watch actually

[@m.b.9916]

My skin would have a heart attack and immediately break out if I even thought about putting this much on it 😭

Yes, so much and then rubbing them in my pores.. a big NO

[@emilyflippence212]

I can back this up from experience, I tried it as a bit of fun now I have a spot and I know it's from that because I hadn't changed anything from my routine apart from when I did it ( I wear tinted moisturizer Very minimal) I went and brought a foundation just to try it and it was one I had used before back when I used to wear foundation... Anyways it was too much for my skin and I broke out 😢

It just seems like a waste of money to wear makeup like this because of how much product ends up absorbed by the sponge

she gets a lot of her products for free since she's an influencer

[@andie3448]

It is a lot of money yes. We don't get paid to do it. Just because you get things for free doesn't mean you're gonna have those benefits forever I'd rather save up all that product just in case I went broke.

In one video she counted and she did seven pumps of one foundation and three pumps of the Dior. It looks OK on camera but I just imagine it must look crazy in person. Plus I touch my face so much that I would look like the joker in no time lol.

[@Esoteraeon]

Imagine going to Hawaii or Florida in the heat with this much foundation on

[@TenderNoodle]

Honestly there’s a level of makeup that is so thick and over the top that it ends up looking amazing if you have young skin like Meredith. It also wears well and is basically drag makeup by the end of it, which does NOT look natural but can look flawless

[@4yd4n]

@@TenderNoodle tbh even with drag queens they just use one or two pumps of full coverage foundation

[@4yd4n]

@BigBootyTrudie lmao l only watch Trixie Mattel so l don’t have much knowledge on that

[@recuerdos2457]

I don’t think it looks as good in person in day light as on camera especially she s using liquid foundation. Healthy young skin would look fine with heavy power foundation in wet sponge, yet not as heavy as she does here.

[@taylorgayhart9497]

@@morrisahj I don’t follow Meredith, but I did see one of her videos where she talks about the fact that she does have skin texture that you can see both in the video and in person. I thought it was really refreshing how she said no matter what she would have skin texture, whether there was foundation on it or not, so she just chooses to do her make up the way that makes her happy.

I could see the texture even through your beauty and filming lights. You will never convince me this looks good on anyone except ppl with flawless texture- less skin.

[@jclyntoledo]

I mean I agree but it probably looks really good for like photo shoots. I mean even if this was for the night time it lowkey looks like she got a sunburn. Definitely not a good look for daytime.

[@desireeperez362]

There’s a vid where she was at a event in the sand and took pics and her makeup looked so so bad :( but then she posted pics on insta with edits and it looked so good so trust this much foundation ain’t it without good editing skills

[@diamond4814]

Finally..she is the only one who did this trend with her actual shade..

[@IncognitoGinger]

I only need one pump to completely cover my face, I can't imagine FOURTEEN pumps 😭 edit: it's more of a texture thing for me personally, sensory issues go brrr

[@phoenixpsychic6837]

Honestly,14 pumps is TOO EXCESSIVE. I’m a licensed esthetician & I will tell you someone who applies this much make up is stupid because, putting too much on your face makes it prone to breakout’s, millia, blackhead’s whitehead’s & acne. Sure she’s a pretty girl but, I cringe when I see her out that much foundation on. Plus, it’s wasting tons of product & I feel is unnecessarily overusing makeup & is a bit gluttonous to be honest! She needs to stop! Not everyone can afford to use that much stuff on the daily. Most women have a few foundations at most at a time. She’s teaching people especially young one’s to be gluttonous.

[@Marina_7]

Exactly!!! Plus, won't it look a mess too after a couple of hours?

[@andreanikcole6449]

I've got like 50 different foundations 😂

[@jclyntoledo]

​@@andreanikcole6449okay but are half of them Shades that aren't your correct one?

[@andreanikcole6449]

@jclyntoledo no.. well, I mean I have summer and winter shades. But foundations are my weakness. I collect them like crazy. Only a couple might not be a shade match. But that's because it's in my makeup kit for others. Everything else that I own is matched to my skin tone and I have white, red/orange and blue mixers.

[@theOGLC]

I swear Meredith still uses more foundation than this 😂 I think you need like 5 extra pumps to be on her level

[@emily_harper_]

I counted her do 14 so I did 14 😂

[@theOGLC]

@@emily_harper_ ahahaha for some reason it just doesn't look like her normal amount when you apply it 😂

[@4lovebysara]

​@@theOGLC I believe she's said before that she uses like 12-20 pumps!! So it is sometimes more, for sure! And idk if the pump volume on every foundation is the same 🤷‍♀️

[@jaequinn9066]

I think the OP doesn't use a sponge and uses a brush. The sponge absorbed a lot of product.

[@1Rose_]

Off topic but I'm happy you're just showing your skin in HD without a filter, I've only seen 2 other creators do this and it let's me know what normal make-up should look like, it's a refresher, and you're beautiful.

[@TheCornDavis]

“i am not wasting my Dior on this” girl I wouldn’t either lol

[@mystikk_spiral]

It’s no bad until you laugh and smile then you’ll have heaps of deep creases and product build up all over the face. Not flattering in person . On cam it looks okay 😅

[@brookelee9745]

I don’t even wear foundation anymore because I can’t handle the feeling of it on my skin. I don’t wanna even imagine it caked on like that. Hard pass.

[@zaraamir9165]

Thing is, Meredith doesn't just wear her foundation like this though. After all this foundation, she puts on like 5 or 6 more pumps of foundation, a shit ton of concealer and an abhorrent amount of blush, bronzer and highlight. Everyone trying this out is putting on the right amount of foundation, and then doing the rest of the make up normally, which just defeats the purpose imo. If I put on just that amount of bronzer/blush/highlight, even with no foundation, I would look like my face was bleeding.

[@4lovebysara]

Her makeup always looks flawless but the thought of putting that much makeup on gives me the heebie-geebies!! And she has such radiant skin! If I had her skin I'd never wear foundation! But she's happy & ultimately that's what matters 🤷‍♀️

[@RenaPainter]

Literally me in highschool doing the most foundation but it would come out good af (between excessive breakouts coz come on)

[@laurenj6771]

I just don’t get the point? Like using less would still look good, what purpose does the extra foundation serve for her?😂

[@jxyv]

[@mesquitetejas8328]

If you notice where your blush stops it's right at your laugh lines, creating them too look deep .In turn making you look older. Which your smooth young face is not. Your very pretty and thank you for posting your storys about that place you were sent too.

[@luchirimoya]

I agree, she is absolutely stunning but she sometimes overdoes it with blush and bronzer. She is super talented with makeup, but adding this much blush and/or bronzer just makes it look like you have a smudge on your cheek. Reminds me of the heavy contouring people used to do back in 2014. The placement doesn't quite fit her face like you said, bc she brings it down to her mouth almost, and that would age anyone imo. Maybe making it a bit lighter and placing it higher up would help? But idk, this is my personal opinion and it is up to her to decide. English is def not my first language and this is my attempt at constructive criticism lol, so I really hope it doesn't sound rude, I love her content

I actually tried Meredith’s technique too, not with the same amount of foundation, but I found that it actually ended up really smooth, perfectly sat in any crevices and yeah, makes blending easier

[@lolofunslayer4953]

Your cheek looks so textured in the end shot it’s insane. I know your skin is beautiful, that much foundation isn’t doing anyone favors.

[@wednesdayaddams7066]

Me and my HALF PUMP of a TINTED MOISTURIZER are stunned by her videos lol. Like of course if that's what she wants to do then she has every right to do so but I feel as though it would look horrible in real life direct sunlight. She's essentially wearing drag queen makeup as far as the amount of makeup goes. Drag makeup is an art form in itself but the only difference is that they are on a stage with stage lighting and videography and photography and dancing and singing and putting on a show for hours.

[@awstenknighttoes1]

i think it would be a good way to apply makeup if there was less pumps of foundation bc i feel like it just totally changes the color of one’s face into a darker/more orange shade

[@bereaux94]

[@katinapactol-baez1317]

I suppose for a glam shoot or event- but definitely not regularly.

[@Justaskme781]

Looked pretty good to you put on the second coat of Rouge

[@kendalk4710]

Noo! Actually she uses her hands, you not the other hand, used a sponge. The sponge basically absorbed the foundation. You both look absolutely stunning. Here is the thing, Meredith uses this technique because she wants to hide her beautiful freckles. Other people don’t need to use this much product if they are not trying to cover something. Tip: if anyone is trying to hide anything on their face or and their imperfections (ALL IMPERFECTIONS ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL), use a color corrector. That way your makeup won’t be thick and feel heavy and you won’t waste your product.

[@Letha-Mae]

i think you definitely wear it better

Sometimes I wonder why y’all are so concerned about her wearing her make up the way she wants to wear it like y’all can complain about her wasting her make up and stuff like that but is it gonna make it any better? No that’s how she likes to do her make up and what about it but I love how calming your voices

[@pericelsus]

Yeah after thinking about it, having seen a few of these videos now, she probably does it to keep the foundation wet, which does help blending. It's pretty common in paintings for example to blend wet paint into wet paint. However the same effect could be achieved by adding a little skin oil to the foundation to make it more slick, or using a setting spray (if you're quick). Both of these methods would likely effect the coverage though!
