I’m an oily gal and want to try powder foundation for the first time in years 😅 I can’t thank you enough for your knowledge, details and great technique!! ❤😊 much love from Texas

[@MrsWilliamTheBloody]

What a relief to see what is almost my actual makeup routine in a tutorial. Was starting to think I was insane because *everyone* online seems to use liquid foundation these days... Loved this! 👏🏻💖😂

[@mauritaedwards9707]

Thank you 1 million times over for teaching us such very important techniques to help us perfect our BEST VERSION of ourselves.

[@NinaUbhi1]

You are so welcome! ☺️

[@jocelynmaroon50]

Thanks, I always like powder foundation, I am so glad you showed us how to apply it properly, learned so much from you.

Girl, I literally just started watching your videos, and I am almost a intermediate. Thanks soooo much

[@barbmelcarek2497]

I so enjoy you and the content on your channel. It has helped me so much! Thank you❤️

[@zahararay5611]

I love how you do your make up! It's so flawless and everything matches you 100%. Powder is my first love. I'm trying to go liquid/radiance, but I just don't think it's for me. Coming back to powder and using this tutorial as my guide! Thank you so much. I love your makeup application and finish style.

[@thomasinamorgan5559]

I have deep dark circles in my eye area. I am glad you share your skin issues with us and how to correct it

Many thanks, Nina, for this great tutorial. GOD bless you.

Thank you for this video. I love powder foundation and I super hydrate before application. I also spray setting spray after and roll a wet beauty blender over my face to remove any cakey areas.

[@destiny1833]

Thank you so much! Just recently found your channel & you have completely changed my entire outlook on makeup. There were certain things I knew would work better for me (ex. concealer before foundation) but I was always told I was wrong & I had to do things a certain way. The info you give is life changing. Seriously! I'm a 39 year old stay-at-home Mom of 3 & when I am able to get dressed up & go out, your tips & advice have helped me find my old self again. It's more than just the makeup, it's the rediscovered confidence. My partner has even commented about the changes he has seen. It's also the thing I have for myself that is outside of him & our children. My gratitiude knows no bounds. Keep on touching lives all around 🌎

[@NinaUbhi1]

Thank you so much for your comment! My intention with my videos is to always educate and increase confidence in people in how they feel about themselves. It makes me so happy that my videos have helped you! ❤️

[@marissalately]

Omg, so I literally just bought this Fenty powder foundation today at Ulta and I came straight to your channel to learn how to properly apply it and I had no idea you were using the same one lol I was like YES! THEN I had the same shade 300 😍

thank you! I was so use to trying cream foundation, even though I have serious acne issues and oily skin. I recently was gifted the same brand of powder foundation you have and had no idea how to even use it , all i knew was that it could be better for my face, your tutoiral was super helpful and I loved the way you explained everything! hearts!

So funny that all the products I bought yesterday was Fenty and now I know how to use them properly! 😀 Best advice ever, like a lightbulb! Look at your mothers skin to see where you will age. Never thought of that before, but makes so much sense. Thank you for the simple and practical video ❤️

This was great! It's actually kind of hard to find a decent, but still interesting tutorial such as this. It's mostly product reviews these days!

Thanks so much. Do you ever use a setting spray? Can you please do a video explaining how and when to use it? I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@NinaUbhi1]

I will do soon!

[@dinora417]

This technique is outstanding! I shied away from Powder Foundation simply because I didn’t know how to use it. None of the many many You Tubers are as talented as you! You are in my humble opinion the most instructive and inspiring professionals that I have ever seen( and I have seen lots)

[@ikit1]

I know this has been about 7 months ago. And this might be a dumb question, but when applying eyeshadow after all of this can you apply eyeshadow primer or do I just apply eyeshadow to the eye without.

[@laverncage54]

VERY INFORMATIVE. LOTS OF LOVE 💘 💕 ❤️ 💖

[@keishakendall6173]

Hi Nina, any recommendations on your top 3-5 powder foundations that you like that give you good coverage and or that are a matte finish? Would you consider doing a video on something like that which you did similar for your 5 best liquid foundations?

[@keishakendall6173]

Thanks Nina. I love your channel and I’m a huge fan. You have given me so many different ways to do my makeup, that when I go out and do my makeup, I refer to the appropriate video and try to follow as I’m doing my makeup. Any recommendations for powder foundations you can provide would be great, since I want to pick me up one fairly soon.

[@shylamadhavan2467]

Do you still use setting spray with powder foundation?

[@yatertater8807]

How do you know what color foundation, light and dark concealer to use? Every foundation that matches my skin tone the best have a pink hue to it and it doesn’t actually match but if I go 1 above that it’s too dark so I never know when I’m using the proper color. And then idk how I know I’m using the right color for contouring

[@gabrielleduarte9886]

What if u also use setting powder the foundation is gonna change the brightness look .. Iv seen people work around it ECT. What's the best way u Kno

[@abkja.7924]

I use liquid foundation, contour; blush, & highlight BUT should I be using powder foundation throughout the day to touch up my face (especially when I’m out & about or at work all day)? Or should I just keep spritzing myself with setting mist spray?

[@vanessarodriguez5884]

What shade you use from powder and foundation and concealer? Thank you beauty

[@prestontowne9768]

Do you absolutely HAVE to have primer on to make the powder foundation stick??

[@beautyxoxo2015]

Hi Nina instead of concealer we can also use yellow powder or orange powder if want to go with complete powder products also if not having much dark under eye or hyperpigmention .

[@NinaUbhi1]

I wouldn’t recommend using powder underneath a powder foundation

[@heatherbakken1936]

I just happened upon this video, and I am wondering if I can underpaint with powder foundation?

[@bayan445]

can we put fix+ over it?

[@HelenRox98]

I'm very much a beginner when it comes to makeup so I really appreciate this! Question, can powder foundation still cover pimples or blemishes? Or is that where the concealer comes in before applying the foundation?

[@sophiaolguin7982]

Hello! I know I'm late to the party but no primer? I applied a powder foundation and primed and put setting spray and the powder foundation clumped so bad

[@MoroccoVlogs424]

Thanks for the video

[@TwiskyTsVSG]

Can you color correct & use powder foundation?

[@MsNeriska]

Thank you Nina. Just a question on the preference to use a brush over the sponge for application on the face, is it for better coverage ?

[@NinaUbhi1]

For powder foundation you can also use a brush - really down to personal preference 😊

[@lynettelongmire]

Hello great review. I have a question when you se your eyes with powder covering them. Does your eye shadow blend better ? Thanks Xoxolynette 3232

[@KT-yp8im]

Hi Nina, thank you for this tutorial! Should we be using a primer? Or not necessary for powders?

[@NinaUbhi1]

You’re welcome! You can use a primer if you feel your skin needs it, for example if you need a primer to smooth your skin or minimize larger pores 😊

Pür made a Powder to Cream Concealer. I forget which influencer had it in their inbox or how that worked out-at least it wasn't showcased as I recall.

[@PumpkinCherub]

Hi Nina, How do I apply the Huda Beauty powder (I bought after seeing it on your video!). I don't understand the case - Do you press the sponge into the soft mesh material? Or tap it out onto the lid? Thanks!

[@NinaUbhi1]

Hi! It takes a bit of getting used to but it's honestly a much better dispenser than the traditional loose powder dispenser. You need to keep the small insert black lid on it by holding it down with your finger then turn it upside down and tap the underside of the tub, flip it back to the right way around, take the black lid off and you should have a good amount of powder ready for you :) Hopefully that makes sense!

[@PumpkinCherub]

[@meillyncruzperez7459]

Tha is so much for this video. Recently found your channel and I am hooked! I use powder foundation as I suffer from mild rosacea. Bare Minerals Blemish Rescue was recommended and I have been using it for years. I believe it’s being discontinued. What other foundation would you recommend that won’t irritate my skin while still offering a good amount of coverage? Thanks again!

[@NinaUbhi1]

Try Ilia or color science

[@meillyncruzperez7459]

Thank you! I will.

[@leesabook4891]

I have such oily skin, powder foundation is the only one I can wear. But still struggle massively with oxidation of my make up ( even though I use primer) any tips would be great. Really wish the beauty companies would tackle this issue and come up with some solutions!

[@NinaUbhi1]

I would try and address the oiliness with your skincare first as this will make it much easier for you when using a variety of makeup products. Alternatively, try using a light moisturizing lotion instead of cream, then a mattifying primer and after makeup use a setting spray

[@shaontalukdar5177]

Hello darling, I have a request for you. Please could you make a video about how to contour the nose proper way. I watched lot’s of the nose contour videos n I’m little bit confused. So lots of love for you ❤️

[@LB-cl9jf]

Sorry if this is a silly question...what did you set your eyelids with setting powder and under your eyes with foundation? Why not use the setting powder for both?

[@AnnieNugget]

I think she used concealer under the eyes and then the foundation powder on the eyes and under-eyes. And then the same foundation powder on the rest of face but with a different brush. And then she also used a contour powder and blush powder afterwards.

[@Grapevine_1987]

I use a cream blush on top of a powder foundation, applied with a sponge and it looks great.

[@kaladwarakanath5503]

Because it's cream, do you have to set the blush with either the same powder foundation or a translucent setting powder?

Hi Nina. I’m 57 and I have dark circles under my eyes also. I’m having problems covering it up, it always seems to very soon show through my makeup. I also have a part along the lower eye socket close to the nose that seems kind of sunk in that also shows through. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I put concealer under the eyes and foundation and powder. I tried skipping the concealer and it seemed to help a little bit. Thank you for the tutorial.

When I first clicked on this video, I thought, She looks too good, no way will make up me similar. Then you appear with a naked face and wow, I'm glad I kept watching! I don't have dark circles, but I have other discolourations and I have lapsed in used cover up. I think I need to get back at it! I probably also used way too little concealer! I saw that Tarte concealer at Sephora today, and I'll admit, I actually thought it was for camouflaging body tape. I was confused LOL.

Thank you! I prefer loose as it sets better but it's always good to test both if possible

[@mollymonroe6768]

Mac Studio fix powder foundation is awesome! And she’s right you got a practice skin with moisture and instead of using the pad that comes with it get a big fluffy brush and put it on and I promise you you will look like a foundation that you’re going to basically put a setting powder on anyways over the top so you can skip all the steps!

[@elizabethhighburg8683]

I know it's a mouthful👇

[@gabriellaisrael_]

If you wanted to use cream products would you put them on before the powder foundation? Or just skip cream products when applying powder foundation all together? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

What about powder foundations that require “buffing into the skin” like Bare minerals powder foundations? I feel like that type of powder requires a lot of prep to be able to glide and melt into the skin. Not quite sure why i can’t make it work for me… 😞

[@NinaUbhi1]

I'll be honest, I haven't tried Bare Minerals as yet and heard that it needs to be buffed into the skin which for me is a little too time consuming but if I come across having to try it anytime soon, I'll be sure to do a video on this :)
