Another amazing trick I have learned from painted by Spencer, is to put on your moisturizing products with your beauty blender and then use the same beauty blender to put on and blend your foundation, concealer, etc. It actually works wonderfully! I honestly never thought that little thing could help so much!, Love your videos, amazing work! 🥰

[@helenavasic9989]

Such a cool tip I’m gonna try!

[@amyjobernoski1024]

I do this as well. I also get patches of skin that are dry or textured... usually winter time, but its funny how you don't notice until makeup is done, lol. Anyways, I'll sometimes take something like my Wander beauty oil or something and use my blender to tap a bit over my set makeup. It sounds counter productive, but it definitely allows me to not like like a patchy clown, since there's usually no time to redo things:).

[@gracex3217]

i do a thin layer of moisturizer first bc i have super sensitive skin and i’m scared of cross contamination but i love doing this

[@Stephanie-ft9pv]

I literally just starting doing this recently before I watched this video...and I totally agree with you about losing your glow with powder and thats i how I came up with doing this too. Also another thing that helps with getting your glow back after powder is if you can find a good setting spray, you spray a decent amount on your face and then go back in with a beauty blender and just press that setting spray into your skin, so your blending all your foundation powder and everything together. It was def a game changer for me, it instantly brings back that glow you originally start with!

Alex- thanks for the video of your base makeup! Nice tips and tricks. I like the idea of using less powder and in only the places it’s really needed. Also, the way you used your brushes and how you held them when applying all the different powders and love, love love the idea of using a mineral powder foundation as a bronzer. It’s all so good! Everything product went on so seamless. Yasssss!

[@courtneycullen6289]

YEP!! I've been doing a similar powder application only with a fluffy crease brush. I stumbled onto it because I was getting hard pan in a bougie touchup powder and since I wear a lot of cream products I wanted to be strategic. And because like 15 years ago a makup artist told me to try applying highlighter with a crease brush. I have like 800 billion synthetic crease brushes. And it worked and now unless I'm buffing in finishing powder on a powder look, I do the same application and the buffing feels a little more intuitive with a crease brush but a concealer of highlight brush would be great!
