[@lochamb1234]

I agree totally, so many of us get stuck in a rut. In my 30s I was guilty of using same makeup day in and day out. After a horrific car accident I decided life was too short. I made several life changes, inc divorce lol ... I've been wearing make-up from I was 11 and I'm now 45. I used to only use drug store as I felt guilty about buying high-end... now I buy both and don't feel guilty buying high-end... and I like to experiment. I wear a glam look everyday so I get plenty of chance to experiment. Allow your inner self to shine through in your make-up.... it's practical ... but great fun x

And how to prevent creasing. Especially with light colors.

[@anadelwrites2144]

Abbie Green yes! Great idea

[@kinseylv408]

Ooh & a best of drug store shadow sticks!

[@Mollys-lips]

To stop creasing put only primer on Ur lids (face primer not eye primer)then setting powder but use a damp sponge&then go in with ur shadow sticks. I LOVE shadow sticks they're my "looks like I've tried but I haven't" lazy quick eye look. I think they look better than powder shadow IF u find the right one.

[@slashblue9190]

I use the LM puff. I find that it helps w/the longevity of my makeup as I'm very oily. It really sets my makeup and keeps me matte longer. To clean it I use bar soap to get the stains out and finish with the tiniest dot of Downey soap to kill build up bacteria

[@MaryEllenAfter60]

Good morning, Emily. I think Laura Mercier wants us to use up her powder quickly by using the puff to apply, lol. I like "learning with you."It's fun to play in my makeup!! I love Superhero too. I rarely use lipliner, but want to start. Hope you have enough snow so the girls build a snowman. Blessings, and love..MaryEllen

[@ashleyhanely1753]

jacki aina really likes the match sticks and she warms them up on the back of her hand first to kinda get the product a little more creamy. maybe youd like them better that way!

[@kawannahardy2924]

Yes. She also uses Yacth Life as a highlighter. Maybe it's better suited for that.

[@rishibeauty8889]

That is THE way you are supposed to use fine power. The press & roll with a puff. I don’t know why people think a puff is just for looks. Try is with Coty air spun as well. Any fine milled powder looks best when applied correctly. See Wayne Goss, he explains it well.

[@skinsciencebymira]

Rishi Beauty I don’t think it’s that everyone doesn’t know (tho some don’t I’m sure) but rather preference. I’ve tried it with a puff for example but I have dry skin and it was just too much powder and too mattifying when used lightly, I would have loved it if I was more normal to oily I’m sure. I use a very small fluffy brush to diffuse powder only where I need it.

[@Ebichuchu]

Rishi Beauty I don’t find using a puff the proper way like Emily does in this video is practical for a lot of people everyday. Seems to be more time consuming than stippling it on with a brush

[@rishibeauty8889]

Aubri Its not for everybody & there is a learning curve- but have you seen the results in person when done correctly? Way better than a brush.

[@rishibeauty8889]

Mira Parker it’s not for everyone, that’s for sure. But I bet that if you did a poll asking if they knew about the puff & the correct way to use it, most will say no. Iam a little surprised that you say it’s way too much powder, that’s why you tap, fold and roll. It actually makes powder control better than a brush or sponge. Did you just happen to dip it in and put it directly on your face? Either way, no big deal. I just bet most folks never knew there is a proper way to use a sponge.

[@skinsciencebymira]

Rishi Beauty nope, I definitely did it correctly. Even if you tap off though and roll you’re still pressing powder and a very small very diffused brush disperses much less in my experience with my own skin - especially when I’m doing very small areas like the bridge of my nose and expression lines on the forehead. I know people who like the puff but most also enjoy a more matte look or are oily. I used barely any powder unless I’m setting under the eyes. Plenty of trained makeup artists don’t use puffs. There’s no “right” way and application can really depend on the products used and the person involved. If you like a puff better and that works for you then that’s awesome, I’m so glad you like it. But it’s strange to try and argue that it’s best for everyone.

[@heathergraff6740]

Great video! 👍🏼😊 Also... I would love to see an updated version of “tips and tricks for on air makeup that lasts”. I’m not in broadcasting, but I do feel that there are definitely some tips and tricks that could help me in my 12 hour days as a CCMA.

[@Desertmermaid52]

Love you Emily! I’m overwhelmed with makeup brushes- wish you would do a de clutter video on makeup brushes!

[@bobbi5355]

Do you think you could try the way Samantha Ravendahl does her base? She puts on cream blush and bronzer slightly heavier then usual and THEN does her foundation/concealer

[@liciacakez9818]

I m wondering when your blush line is going to be released?? :) :) :) Love your Saturday videos... enjoy your weekend Coach!💄

[@rachelchua9699]

Tints are a major product in K-beauty (I think in Asian beauty in general. Would you be interested in trying the drunk blush technique? You will extend the tint across your nose bridge before powdering. It creates a really natural flushed look.

[@almatoledo1608]

I do this with blusher to create a Played Out in the Forest and It was Cold Windy look. What tints are favorite in Korea?

[@rachelchua9699]

Alma Toledo sorry I’m not from Korea. It’s just that K-beauty is big here in the Philippines

[@heatherchase8935]

Rachel Chua I never knew it was called that! I always take some blush on the the bridge of my nose. I adore blush though. I wear it a tad heavy on my cheeks a noticeable amount on my nose, but not heavy. Then I take what is left on my brush I sweep it over my forehead and chin. I keep the blush on me cheeks higher than most “beauty gurus tell you too, I feel like with it a bit higher up it’s more youthful.

[@erikaunruh7010]

Emily- I would love to see more shadow stick looks!! The LM Caviar sticks are my favorites- Au Naturel is so easy to blend into the crease for subtle definition.

[@mishmash3968]

A quick way to apply powder with the loose powder is to dip it in, fold and rub it in then flick the outside to get extra off before press and rolling. This keeps make up on forever! You clean it as you’d do with your sponge. Same way. They are so cheap though, you can just replace them too if that works better.

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

This video definitely “scratches wear I’m itchin’ “😜 I did a huge declutter of my makeup stash and put a box on my makeup table of products I want to use up and those that I couldn’t remember if I still liked or not.

I decluttered my brushes two weeks ago. It felt good/bad to see them go, but they had been sitting around (actually hidden in a drawer), unused for a looooong time. I took them to St. Vinny's so maybe someone new will adopt them. Still have all my favorites within easy reach of my makeup collection.

Go Ann!! :D

[@lochamb1234]

I'm the opposite Ann, I own a total of 6 brushes and 2 beauty blenders. I keep saying I need to buy new ones ... but never get around to it. I love my brushes, cheap as chips but I know buying better vegan brushes would make application better ... I don't know why I never buy new ones??

[@silviakhan1073]

Ann Goodman Thanks for mentioning Vinny’s I need to look it up hopefully they are in S.California. Just heard of another one which takes lightly used products I forgot name but think is in Santa Monica that’s near me.

[@LornaKelso]

I love using shadow sticks for my work makeup on mornings when I’m short on time. It means I can spend some time perfecting my base, but still look like I made an effort with my eyes. I only ever use one mid toned colour all over my lid and under my eyes, give it all a quick blend and I’m done. My favourite brush to use is the little double ended one from the UD Naked Ultimate Basics palette. If I have a couple of extra minutes I’ll follow it up by using a pencil liner across my lash line and smudging it out. When I use matte cream highlighters I only ever use them under my contour line to make a contrast there. Like you, I feel they are generally too dry and don’t provide enough coverage under my eyes.

[@susanstetson3435]

I like reading or listening to a good book that can let my imagination take over. The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon is one of my favorites. I also really enjoy many of Nora Roberts trilogies. Just enough fantasy to take me out of my reality. I hope you find something to lift your spirits.

[@tinacahoon9819]

I listen to comedy on Pandora. It shakes off anxiety and the Blues like nothing else.

[@elle3802]

I'm in the same boat and not everything works but trying is better than nothing. Vitamin D3 and sunlight if possible, watching or listening to something funny because laughter really helps. Maybe make an uplifting positive music playlist with inspirational lyrics. Scents also can lift mood like fave fragrance or a candle even. I like cookie smells 🙂 If you like animals, spending time with pets or nature helps some people. Hope you find something that helps xx

I had a flat sponge that came with my Time Balm foundation (works best with that sponge!) that my three year old played with, got gross and stuck in her pocket. Switched laundry and found the sponge looking brand new! I'm not considering throwing my beauty blender in my delicate cycle! Since you're not a die hard fan with the puff you could try that??

[@reneeward2358]

I love that you go back and use products you’ve had for awhile! So many channels only use the new and hyped up stuff.

[@Gigi_K]

Saturday mornings with Emily! Makes me look forward to working out on a very cold Saturday morning! Thanks for bringing the warmth and happy, Emily!!! 🤗

[@emilynoel83]

yay thank you so much for taking time to watch!

[@christinaivic667]

The Fenty stick in linen, I always warm it up in my ring finger and then apply it to the under eyes. I find it covers dark circles very well. I use the same technique with the ranges contour and shimmer highlights. I find the trio is very useful on quick makeup days.

[@Jess-ui7sm]

If you watch the Rihanna’s makeup artist tutorials she always warms up the stick on the back of her hand😊 might be easier next time.

[@earthangelbaby_]

i feel like thats such a waste of product :/

[@tantricjeffanie]

@@earthangelbaby_ you can use it still. You apply whats on your hand with your finger

[@earthangelbaby_]

@@tantricjeffanie ive never seen that done!!! omg i can't believe i haven't thought of that

[@Beauty2Shoozzz]

I love the LM shadow sticks. They last all day and are amazing on the waterline.

[@sarahwalden178]

In my plan this year to try to buy less and enjoy what I have more, I am looking for fun challenge ideas to make getting ready more fun and playful. You’ve given me a great one here: full face of products I don’t remember how I feel about! Excuse the poor grammar, but I can’t wait to dig through and find things that I know I have but can’t remember how I used or what I thought of them. It’s like having new things without shopping!

[@kelly82485]

As far as the matte highlight sticks- I wouldn't use them as under eye concealer. I personally would use them to highlight anywhere else on the face such as down the nose, forehead, chin, even to clean up under a cream contour. Stuff like that. You can use it where we normally highlight, on the check bone, to brighten then add a powder highlight over it if wanted or leave as is to just brighten/highlight.

[@lochamb1234]

I have never used a brush to add face powder ... always a big puff and always that technique... been doing it for 30 years lol. Only use brush for bronzer, blush etc x

[@Allyson6C]

Yes I am still on board with the fenti cream contour. I do this every day but I always blend with a small stipple brushes (elf or coastal scents) and the finish is gorgeous. The beauty blender tends to blend the product away on me.

[@ashleyd7780]

The Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks are my absolute favorite!! They are so gorgeous for a base and also on their own.

[@abk287]

I have about seven of these and they are my go to easy look. They last all day.

[@shanes1718]

Fenty highlight "it's tasty"! You crack me up! 💖

[@terrance7220]

Oooh that’s the technique the Laura Mercier associate did on me that made my makeup so flawless! I remember her pressing REALLY hard.

[@patriciarivas5369]

Emily, I have the Laura Mercier powder puff. And like you, still in the package. I use a brush and the look. I wanted to try the Caviar sticks and this was helpful. Thanks!

[@sabwrites2774]

I use the Fenty Beauty Match Stix in Amber for my contour each time I do my makeup!

[@jennlecher5604]

I used to get all my makeup from QVC and I LOVE Mally's shadow sticks. Hers and Bare Minerals make some beautiful ones, too!

[@cherylmaclean4349]

I LOVED Friday Night Lights! Great show. Love the reference on your whiteboard! Keep doing what you’re doing. I enjoy every post!💕

[@mistyparsons7710]

This was SOOOOO much fun and such a great video idea!! I definitely learned a few new things and really want to try that powder method out. Awesome video..I really enjoyed it!! Hope everyone stays safe during the storm..enjoy the snow!!❄️🌨☃️🛷 Love you, Emily!!❤️😘 xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

[@kate98765]

This was a fun video! You were very playful and relaxed. Love your other videos too. But more of this would be cool! Using those de cluttered products that still have to be tested...

[@angeladesilva7913]

Your skin look amazing, so beautiful!! Love you Emily I use your Wants palette a lot!

[@rayrayrayray58]

New Emily video and hot coffee while being snowed in 😊

[@christyfielding7498]

I'm snowed in too! Woke up this morning to the first real snow of the season and its a pretty good one.

[@damarisrodriguez5118]

Rachel B Life goals!!!!

[@christydodd9798]

I'm in southern CA and we are still wearing shorts and sandals! I will say I think it's supposed to rain here tonight or tomorrow, but even then it's still in the 60's. On Christmas we played football and it was 86 here, sorta warm lol.

[@damarisrodriguez5118]

Christy dodd I am in Southern CA as well and it feels cold today. Still a wonderful feeling waking up, grabbing coffee and watching Emily’s videos.

[@rayrayrayray58]

Almost a foot of snow here in St. Louis!

[@carriebrackett6143]

I find as I’m getting older now that I have a new appreciation to cream products. Love makeup play time by the way. I just went through my makeup yesterday and pulled out some under appreciated products. Look forward to see if any of these stick in your routine!!

[@sheilablake4858]

I always set my face with a powder puff like Laura Mercier every day. You can just pop it in your handbag for touch ups on the go as it’s already saturated with powder. Just clean them the same way as you would a beauty blender x

[@cubbylevi1764]

Sheila Blake Wow! Great idea!

[@tabithak5943]

Sheila Blake how do you store it in your handbag?

[@AT-sx2jp]

Tabitha K i store mine in a compact mirror.

[@mariar3715]

Id love to see more shadow stick looks and techniques. I love a quick one and done look with sticks or cream eyeshadows!

[@holasarrita]

I’ve never been this early! Hi Emily!! Been watching you for 6 years 😊 hope you’re having a great day!

[@emilynoel83]

God bless you Sarah!! :D thanks for watching!

[@nataliegibson495]

I LOVE that you pulled out the OG ABH contour palette! I use it everyday. No, I don’t use all the colors anymore, but I can’t live without the 3 bottom colors. I use the middle color for actual contour - it’s so natural on my skin (and I love it as a crease color too!). I swap btw the other colors for bronzer depending on the season.

[@Judith21123]

You’ve inspired me to play more with the makeup that I already have!! Great video Emily!

[@teeniegurl5]

This is how I've been feeling lately! Sometimes I go without makeup because I'm stuck in a rut. Love you Emily!

[@kellyconnery5609]

If you warm the fenty up on your hand it works better x

[@katesPlace-123]

I have 3 caviar sticks and clueless how to use. Thank you for a quick look!

[@GetThisGlowing]

I adore cream everything I love to use the matchsticks BEFORE the foundation and it is beautiful

[@grin760]

Fenty Match Sticks contour blends great with the Clarisonic makeup brush 😻😻😻. Love your videos

[@christyfielding7498]

I remember when you used the fenty sticks and you tried using oil with it when you blended them out and liked them a little better

[@madisonjacks7686]

Had to pause it and come comment because I loved the Clemson shoutout! 🧡💜 I’ll always be able to remember Bitty’s birthday because that day was so special to me! I was in Tampa watching my alma mater beat Bama! Then I got on IG and saw you’d had her that day! And although I didn’t make it to Cali (because...mom life), this past Monday was fun, too!!! What a time to be a Tiger! 🐅🏆 And I know I’m just a few minutes in but I’m loving this video concept-you are so original! 😘💖

[@PigeoneerToy]

I haven't stopped using lipliner because my lips are not as defined as yours and if I just put lipstick on, liquid of from a bullet, it doesn't look its best. For me lining the lips makes all the difference in actually "building" the edge and shape of my lips. Can you pls swatch things on the back of your hand so we can see color, pigmentation, consistency, etc? like the marker you put on your eyebrows, would've loved to see the two colors on your skin to see which is best for me and how light/strong or thin/thick wet/dry of a line they do. Great video, as always. And yes, your skin looks more even now. You don't need full coverage, that concealer did its job, at least in camera your face looked very even toned and without blemishes.

[@ott3rr]

Ive never had a youtubers amount of makeup, but ive recently decluttered my stuff too. Its so nice to be able to use everything and re discover somethings! Remember those 7 sin wet n wild 6 pan shadows? I found those in my collection and used them, still great!!

[@cindytroxler2838]

Ahh Emily, I did notice that your complexion looks really even! Working your magic I see 💥 You don’t need make up! But we’re glad your here to help us! Brilliant video idea. Love you, girl 👧!

[@emilynoel83]

you are kind, Cindy!! :D Thanks for watching!

[@shortnsweet2828]

Love the video! I enjoy using shadow sticks on days that I don't have a lot of time to fuss with makeup but want something. Usually, I just use one color but sometimes blend with powder shadow. This has me wanting to go play with my under-used makeup.

[@OxanaCrafts]

Do the caviar shadow sticks last well on their own? Or would it be best to still put a primer underneath? I have hooded lids that are very prone to creasing. Also, side note, does anyone else really enjoy using a heated eyelash curler? I never never hear about them much on youtube, perhaps because most youtubers just use false lashes. But I swear by my heated eyelash curler as gives me a nice dramatic curl.

[@elizabethr4107]

I have always wanted to try one! Any recommendations?

[@OxanaCrafts]

@@elizabethr4107 mine is the pink one by Panasonic and I love it :)

[@samanthacatterwell6416]

Great video. It’s so easy to get into a makeup rut. I love shadow sticks and tend to use them daily. They are so quick and easy to use. Xxx

[@jenfarina1892]

Yay!love Saturday morning uploads!

[@rachelogren]

Thank you so much for constantly bringing us new and interesting ways to use what we already have! I, for one, would love to see more with the shadow sticks. I have so many that I've held onto and really rarely reach for. I want to love them more lol

[@TerryHodgdonCreates]

Good morning Emily and friends! Hope you all are having a Super morning. Hugs--Terry!!

[@tinalistro6156]

Your eyes look amazing. I love shadow sticks. Bobbi Brown has great shadow sticks too.
