Which liquid foundation is best for extremely oily skin without oil means purely water based? 🙏🙏

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

The foundation I used in this video from Revlon is great; however, I have now switched to Kryolan's Digital Complex Foundation. Alternatively, consider a liquid-to-powder foundation (I think Bobbi Brown has such a foundation) or a powder foundation.

Wow. Perfect explanations. Thanks lots!! May I ask what shade you use? Beautiful texture!

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Thank you! :) I used to use the shade 120 Buff.

That's very helpful video, well done 👏, but I have small question, after I use the moisturizer, I applicate the sunblock, then I used foundation, this is true ?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Yes, correct see here: How to use a Cleanser, Sunscreen, Primer, Foundation and Setting Powder: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYu3eZZnqpqfkJo

[@KaraLey98]

Oh, I love Candid, and now that it's a little older I mix it with other things too and still make good use of it. I actually have a huge collection of unused tubes of it in a v few different shades --- because when it went on sale at the time I thought it was my drugstore Holy Grail🌈🎆

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hey again! :) Revlon's Candid foundation is such a good foundation, I love that one a lot! :) They have a new foundation that I would love to try but unfortunately, I can't get that one here in Europe (yet🤷🏻‍♀️).

[@KaraLey98]

Which one is that ? What is the name of it? I'm surprised they have a new one bc that Candid line of makeup is not new anymore.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

It's not from the Candid line, but it's this one: ColorStay™ Light Cover Foundation. It looks nice and lightweight :)

[@KaraLey98]

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet oh yes, I've seen reviews on that And it looks very nice.

Yay! Do you do your own eyebrows? What kind of foundation brush should you use?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Yes, I tweeze my own eyebrows and just use a bit of the Essence Brow Gel and that's it! :) I love using the Zoeva 104 Buffer Brush which is what I used in this video :)

[@lisaonofrio4646]

What face cream did you uesd? and what face Fresh Face Liquid Foundation Can you please tell me

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

I used Neutrogena's Hydro Boost Water Gel and Revlon's Candid Foundation, which I showed in the video. 🙈

[@Hanakos_Assistant]

I have a foundation brush that I got in a kit and it says foundation on the side but it’s a different shape and doesn’t make the foundation look good and it makes it obvious that the foundation is too yellow for my face

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Is it a flat foundation brush? I achieve the best finish with a brush, as used in the video. Specifically, I recommend the Zoeva Buffer Brush. Alternatively, you can try using a damp makeup sponge, such as a beauty blender. :)

[@mstwelvedeadlycyns]

Have you tried the Ordinary foundation??

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Yes, but only their serum foundation which I like a lot! :) Here is the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roGVpaCtmZ1mj6c

Hi, I am 39 years old I have large pore on my face how to minimize them kindly suggest me some.i hate them,from uk

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

For skincare, have a look at a Niacinamide and/or Retinol (lowest strength) product :) For makeup, you may want to have a look at a pore minimising or smoothing primer. Like the one from the Ordinary, Spreadability Fluid Primer

HI CAN U MAKE A TUTORIAL ON HOW TO CHOOSE A CORRECT MAKEUP SHADE FOR LATINAS LIGHT TO MED SKIN TONE LIKE MAC POWDER PLUS FOUNDATION AND DOES THE LIQUID FOUNDATIIN HAVE TO BE LIGGTER OR DARKER WHENING BOTH POWDER AND FOUNDATION PLIS IM A MAC LOVER THANKS 🌈🌹🌷

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hey :) Well, how would I set up this video since it isn't easy to just say what shade you have to pick if you can not try it🙈 You either have to try it in a store or online where you can get samples or send the foundation back if it isn't the right shade. That's what I do myself :) The foundation shade should match your skin tone as close as possible, and if you like to use a foundation + powder (which is tinted) in the same routine. Use them in the same shade, or the powder or foundation shade a bit lighter, but this also depends on the coverage you want to get since this can influence the shade-appearance with the rest of your body :)

[@khairunnisaalisa2365]

Is it ok if i apply foundation using bare hand ?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Yes, sure! :)

You can use a bit more of foundation or concealer on that area! :)

[@laurapatrick3354]

What foundation brush are you using? I heard perfect finish but cannot locate the product online.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

I use Zoeva Makeup brushes. The one I used in the video is: 104 Buffer brush! :)

[@carlaveloz9073]

which foundation?

I used the Revlon Candid Foundation in the shade 120 Buff 😊

[@tedoymisojos]

I attempted applying foundation like this on my mother, but omg it does not work well. I ended up stippling the foundation in areas with the flat brush and then blending them in with a damp sponge. The sponge was the tool that made the most difference. I guess if the skin has a lot of texture, its better not to do this buffing technique. On me it doesn't work well either because I have a lot of texture from acne. It must be for people with smooth, exfoliated skin.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

May I ask what products and tools you've used and especially, how much did you use? As I've done serval makeups on mature skin and I've always used brushes to apply the makeup especially the base like foundation and I've never had any issues...🤔

[@tedoymisojos]

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I used the same foundation: Revlon Candid. I used a flat brush from Makeup Geek. with the brush I can see the product on the skin, and it catches on areas with flaky skin. When I used the sponge it looked seamless and undetectable. It pressed down and smoothed over flaky areas.

[@tedoymisojos]

​@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Maybe I needed a denser brush? Ill try a couple different things.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

@@tedoymisojos The Revlon Candid foundation is a bit more drying (which is why I don't need to set it) but for mature skin, I would choose a moisturizing/dewy foundation that does not grab to those areas or really just go with a BB/CC cream or tinted moisturizer😊

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

@@tedoymisojos it could be because of the brush but I would say that the foundation is too drying for mature skin, also using something that's a bit lighter or mixing it with a bit of moisturizer😊

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet no I cannot do the notification bell for all the people I'm subscribed to, or I would be spammed very badly everyday with emails telling me how many people uploaded a video. I hate that stuff in my inbox so I don't have any notifications, but when I open KZbin all the videos from the people I'm subscribed to usually eventually pop up. When I hear people on their video saying "Be sure to ring the notification bill so you will get a notification *every single time* I post a video, I think: "oh yuck!! What an awful turn-off-,- all that email-,-all those notifications! That's the biggest turn-off in the whole world, to me, but people say that over and over, usually old ladies who don't understand how much spam you can get and maybe very young people who don't realize how many people you are subscribed to, not you of course since you are a "veteran" 🤗

Applying liquid foundation in a circular motion causes skin to micro exfoliate and the result is a textured face.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

I really want to know where you get such information?🤔

i always cringe at all these 'circular motion' foundation tutorials, if i do that itll end up uneven or not right :/

[@emanuelschembari7192]

What kind of a makeup artist are you. You should never dip foundation brush directly into foundation. You should don’t foundation all over your face with finger then buff in with a high quality foundation brush. Brushes do not absorb foundation do you are using to much product.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

If you are cleaning your brush or only using it for yourself, there is no issue. But also it is widespread in the industry to not do it, since most of the time you have not much time, and you do not care much about it. Application methods vary, and it does not matter what technique you are using as long as it gives you the results you want. Also, most brushes are manufactured in the same factory, so you can get an affordable brush that has the same quality as the more expensive one. And lastly, the bristles do not absorb the foundation, but the product sits around them, and therefore, it "absorbs" the product, and because of the liquidish texture, a lot of product will be lost.
