Loved seeing these techniques and watching how carefully you place each product. I would like to see you do make-up on an older woman and learn those techniques. Thank you! Loving your channel.

Nikki, you are absolutely amazing! You actually inspired me to get a professional makeup artist certification. I'm in my 40's...married with children, and I went back to school to actually get some credentials under my belt largely because of watching you. You've taught me so much and I look forward to learning more from you. Your love of makeup is contagious and I share your enthusiasm. Truly, thank you Nikki! You've made a difference in my life and I know you have inspired many more. Keep doing what you're doing because you were...well...just born to do it! ;-)

[@Sammy-sm4yg]

Yas girl!!! You should definitely go get that certification. There's no age bar for learning, you can always be a student at heart. I wish you a lot of success and love 💕

I am a grandmother, Nikki, & have no idea why your vlog was sent to me. Since I am here - I will share something I have learned after using make-up for 50+ years. I discovered, over time, what you mentioned here. Switch things up. It is just like what some medicines have warnings about. Your body develops a ‘tolerance’ to products used over & over again. The great results quit happening after a while - but as long as you switch things up - you can continue to get great results from most good products.

[@Nick-uk3wg]

Your videos are so informative and you cover exactly what you’re doing and why you’re doing it. Informative, efficient, educational, succinct. You’re a gem on YT!

[@amywilson8824]

This was the absolute best, most easiest to follow, very explanatory way to apply base makeup to powders and everything in between about application. Friendly for beginner or adv. I’ve been watching beauty gurus for 10 yrs and hands down you have the best tutorial. Please do more like this!

[@kanwalhussain1884]

Can you do a video about covering up the dark circles for light to medium complexion?

[@joycelyn3619]

Nikki These techniques that you shared were amazing they totally built on some other techniques that you have also used but I specifically like using the bronzer powder to set the cream bronzer that you had on cream concealer love that technique thank you so much you are so amazing and you're so skillful and thank you for sharing your gifts God bless you

Can you do a skincare routine pleaseeee! You’re skin is so beautiful! It’s so clear and complexion is even!

[@Patti-1962]

You are such a hidden gem on KZbin. I just found your channel via your drugstore makeup video. I had to retire early 10 years ago due to serious health issues, so I have worked to move from high end to affordable products. But, what I love so much, is watching your application techniques. They are so intentional, and you use much less product and smaller brushes than I'm used to seeing from watching influencers. My problem right now is finding a foundation that will work on my almost 60 years old skin. LESS is more, I know that. And I have tried many drugstore and some high end products, but I end up having to mix a more matte foundation with a dewy one. My next purchase will be the Sheisedo Self Refreshing foundation. Sorry for the "novel," but I think you should have 100k subs or more!!

[@lh9241988]

I love your videos!! I wait for them. I’ll be putting your tips and tricks to use. I had many of the products you used, but will be purchasing a few of your others. I’ve made my list! You are my fave makeup artist to follow.

[@gloriadefalco1993]

Nikkie what exactly is the brush with which you blended the concealer under the eyes (with the yellow handle)?

[@BugMeAboutBeauty]

Great tips and I noticed with my skin type (combo/normal) I do not need to put primer only t-zone and inner parts of my cheeks close to my nose area. I have larger pores. It is quite a lot of steps especially for powdering. I just set my areas of oiliness Hourglass Ambient powders, which is great and does not leave any cakey look.

[@barbarastrugala404]

The time necessary to do all these steps gives you no time to do everyday stuff like going to work perhaps. Very pretty but ridiculous!

[@AileenTownsend]

This was sooo helpful! I have been putting on my color corrector in the wrong order… under foundation. I was wondering where the blush step fits into this process? Not sure if I missed it. Also, can you explain the difference in powder for baking and then the type you use to finish and dust off after. You emphasized that certain ones shouldn’t be used in case of flashback. I have Givenchy Libre pink, Laura Mercier blur and RCMA no color. Are these ok for baking or setting? Thank you for such a thorough and practical guide that isn’t rushed, and for taking the time to explain the why behind each step.

Love your videos. What color should I use to color correct acne scars and what is a good concealer for that

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Thank you so much for watching! And this is a topic I plan on tackling soon on my channel, but to answer your question it depends, if your scars are more red then I would use a green tone to calm the redness then use a thick, cream formula concealer. If your scars are darker in pigmentation then you’d need to color correct with possibly something more orange hued, but these are just guesses since I don’t know exactly what color they are. ❤️

I actually have VERY thin skin under my eye as well plus (very) fine lines. This is where I suggest you adjust to what works best for your skin. For me personally I like a lot of coverage so I use a good amount of concealer but that won’t be necessary for everyone.
