Foundation Tips & Tricks that ACTUALLY WORK! Achieve a Smooth Skin-like Application

[@jenniferconley3396]

I second the dry skin best concealers request! I loved this video and will definitely be trying some of these tips!! ❤️🌯❤️🌯

[@mishmash3968]

Jennifer Conley and ones to mix to get a good concoction for dry under eyes. All the sheer concealers mixed with the heavier ones makes it so much less crapey. Physicians Formula Instready is great for dry under eyes because it has great coverage without drying down completely like the matte ones do. Neutrogena stick concealer is also a great one as well as Age Rewind and the new loreal true match with the sponge (both click pens types.)

[@wendyraye]

@Mish mash does the Neutrogena mix with other things, like a liquid or cream corrector?

[@mishmash3968]

Wendy French it does. Emily Noel did a review on it and really liked it. Do a quick search and you’ll get a better idea if it’ll be something you may like. I trust Emily as much as Taylor on reviews. 😊

[@samanthagaudet1461]

Jennifer Conley oh god yes

[@tracykelly-fedoush1160]

Mish mash I agree. I mix a dot of the Elf camo one with Ultas Youthful Glow, it works and looks nice

[@madelineheimer2666]

i think it’d be cool to do 1/2 your face like mainstream youtubers do (baking, etc) and 1/2 your normal routine so we can see the difference. similar to samantha ravyndal’s video 💕

[@mortaldelirium0]

Agree

[@makeurownsammich2597]

I love that you don’t do the typical, standard makeup applications that most youtubers do. I am 39yrs old with dry skin, and if I tried the whole slap on tons of concealer in a massive triangle and then bake with tons of powder I would look like a crepey, dry mess, and let’s be honest that is not a good look. Thanks for all of these tips and tricks! #baerrito 🌯

[@GamingWithMus]

me too hahah. that stuff doesn't work for me being 39 and dry skin lol

[@lalacarroll431]

Stephanie Hoskins ME TOO!! I love Taylor and all her tips and ticks! I’m 36 and have dry skin and super dry under eyes! If I do the concealer triangle and major baking I look so cakey and I feel like dry leather lol 😂

[@QueenLeeMi79]

Me too I'll be 40 in oct and the things that used to work no longer do. I can't bake anything but a cake lol when I do it looks fucktastic I never looked so old in my life I crease and crack so bad under eye and on my smile lines. I also have a hard time finding foundation sometimes I hate leaving home lol. Has anybody used the superstay powder and it went ashy or gray on you and got oily?

[@MeganMichelle__]

Same here. My undereyes would look like a dry crepey mess AND still crease so bad. I don’t even set concealers anymore. I use a small amount and tap it in with my fingers while looking up. Still don’t have a concealer that I love there, but maybelline age rewind has been the best so far.

[@anabella1727]

I ordered your Sigma brush set and the F80 changed my makeup life! It applies my foundation just as smoothly as a sponge, but doesn’t take away the coverage. I love that brush so much and will never be without it again. 😍

I just wanted to say your skin with that moisturiser/spf looks unbelievable! You look so gorgeous! The blue eyes and the black hair with your naturally blushed cheeks is perfection!! 💕

[@morganmcaneney8180]

Foundation always looks super powdery when I set my face. You and rawbeautykristi have opened my eyes to only setting where I need to and it's helped so much. Thank you for explaining all of these steps. It's harder to find tips for dry skin rather than oily and I really appreciate this!

I love that your not just trying to sell us on a product that most youtubers have resorted to due to being sponsored. But your actually showing your true routine and technics I wish more ppl could be genuine thank you so much . Your probably the only youtubers that didn't use a filter to give a false result you showed the realistic beautiful end result. Amazing

[@nataliegeorge8022]

Thank you for this! My skin is the same. Textured and dry but normal in certain areas. I started to take some of your tips and the targeting powdering has helped me immensely. So thank you!

[@vstammer]

Many thanks for your clarity and honesty. It's reassuring to know that the amount of adaptation and "fussiness" that is required is a not-just-me thing. I'm a multiple of your age, so I tend to think that I ought to have worked out all of the kinks in this process by now. Knowing not just your helpful tips but also that someone who devotes so much attention to the application and evaluation of foundation still has to make so many adjustments is a comfort. Wonderful work, Taylor.

[@mishmash3968]

justasur_ S2 the milani has good coverage (and you can mix it with a hydrating concealer to get the perfect concoction. It isn’t as drying as elf camo, MUR, Loreal infallible’s new one, Shape Tape. I still swear by my Maybelline Age Rewind though in my skin tone and I have a lot of problems with dry under eyes. There is nothing better and more affordable than that and the new Loreal True match is the same formula as the Age Rewind if you find a better shade in that line.

[@goldieredmango]

I use a lot of these products and application tips because of you for my own skin. My oily skin has become dry/normal around the same time yours started to change. Thanks for always being realistic and looking out for those of us with fickle skin.

[@desormais22]

I know this is an older video, but so glad to know others do use powder foundations to set/add extra coverage to foundations that you’d want!! I’ve been doing it since 2016, but thought so many people think it’s cakey too. If I go overboard, yes it does get a bit cakey, but it really does help when you use the right powder/amount/technique. Love that you use powder foundation in that way too!

[@suzy6463]

As soon as I saw your dry makeup sponge trick, I ran into the bathroom to try it and OMG, it makes a HUGE difference. I too have textured skin as a result of years and years of acne. Applying foundation has always been difficult because of the small pitted scars. Foundation either pools in the scars, or else it skips over the scars, making them look like polka dots.This totally solves the problem. BTW I tried it with a variety of sponges, incl. Real Techniques, L'oreal, and Eco Tools, and they all seem to work pretty well.

[@shaioffill]

I've been mixing the flower with the new loreal fresh wear and it's been wearing great! I love how dewy the flower foundation is

Has plenty of coverage, looks like skin, not foundation skin looking but actually looks like skin and since alot of people watch u, i wanted to see u review it to make more women aware! I had acne bad and its recently cleared up with a lot of scars and one layer of it tones it down enough for me to not have a care to go out every single day without a full face and I am a full face everyday girl!

[@SuperJezzara]

I find that with setting spray even though it looks great as soon as I apply it, it actually makes my foundation break up WAY faster throughout the day. Even for a "long lasting" foundation it breaks up in less than 8 hours (my work day). If I don't spray it lasts way better.

How do you know when you have enough moisturizer on your face? I know how to apply it, but I have oily skin, how do I know I'm "moisturized"?

[@Sammvoy]

Christalee Walker a lot of time “ oily” skin is actually dehydrated and gets shiny throughout the day. Im combo and I usually start with a nickel sized amount, apply to my whole face. And give it a few minutes to soak in. If I touch it and an area feels a bit tougher in texture after that, I add a little more

[@christaleewalker1461]

This is a thought I can work with! Everyone always says "make sure you moisturizer" but never describe what that feels like.

[@littlefox126]

Christalee Walker I have combo oily skin myself, it's dry on it's own now, but when I first started using moisturizer I found I'd be oily throughout the day. I've found if I apply moisturizer while my skin is damp that not only do I not have to use as much, but the moisturizer dries down into my skin, rather than just sitting on top of it. My skin feels more hydrated over all, without getting oily as the day goes on.

How long do you wait before you powder the concealer under your eyes? I always apply concealer and let it sit. I’ll put on bronzer, blush, and highlight, then I’ll sort of pat out the creases under my eyes and then powder. I also feel like when I apply powder under my eyes, if I use a damp sponge with a small amount of powder, it sets it without it being super dry

I usually spray it on my hands, then press it on my skin, and wait a couple of minutes before applying my foundation. 😊

Missy Maria thanks!

I agree with the mixing foundations (and I took the chance because of this channel)! And try mixes you might not think would work for your skin type. I tried Milani Conceal & Perfect with Maybelline Fit Me Dewy and Smooth because I needed a color match in a pinch, and neither of these work well on my oily skin on their own. Yet, I haven't stopped wearing the combo since because it looks so good on my skin and just looks really nice all day.

I feel like You made this video for me ... NOTHING the other youtubers do looks good on my skin, until this video, I was seriously doubting my makeup skills.

Ok I have been doing the targeted powder trick and omg it's great! No more cake looking nose and creases. I'm sooooo happy!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@mells489]

Any tips for keeping foundation on the nose? Even with setting spray, it’s gone after an hr or so. Please help!

[@perfectlyimperfect2368]

Have you tried a gripping primer or tacky primer just on your nose or setting your foundation with a powder foundation then the setting spray. Just a thought. 😊

Mells489 put eyeshadow primer on your nose. That’s a tip from Wayne Goss

[@mells489]

Rach Maninoff I’ve eyeshadow primer on my blemishs and that works perfectly, I’ll try it for my nose! Thanks for the tip

[@mells489]

Oof that copper eye look....Lovely. Normally I _hate_ that look since MannyMUA has effectively killed it with how often he does them but....wow. That is so pretty.
