How to Cover Acne Without Looking Cakey and Gross | WCNOTMT Ep. 8 | Kiki G

[@Lyranlight11]

You’re so different from everyone on KZbin. So genuine and funny ❤️

[@Ella-gh4vv]

Hey I'm gonna need you to do a tutorial on whatever you have going on on the rest of your face at the end of the video because you look stunning

[@cassietracy]

You did a video a while back, about good things, spreading light and love in the world. Well you My dear, you are that good thing. I learn so much from and you bring so much happiness into my life, thank you my joyfully jellyfish❤

[@rikkirikki4892]

Is this the one she deleted? There was a video she posted a while back that she then deleted and I can't find anyone talking about it on any of the communities where they discuss her videos. I feel like I'm going crazy!

[@cassietracy]

The video is titled, "Daily dose of goodness #1" ☺

[@gingersoulless]

I'm so happy you're back! I hope you do a "base makeup without covering up freckles" tutorial for WCNOTMT. Its so hard to find anything like that, especially if you have issues like redness that are difficult to cover with just concealer.

[@virgoemc4915]

I genuinely get so happy when you post a new video

[@RRbobreed]

I hope your schedule allows you to make videos more regularly. There's a real gap in YT and you fill it. Please don't go so long without making a video!!!! You are most certainly missed when you do. Thanks!

[@heatherchase8935]

I am so glad Kackie showed your products on her channel. I have been binging your chicer the last couple days.

[@laurenwhicker6612]

I love Caspian being in the vids lately he's stinkin adorable!

[@vanessa269]

Thank you for this video. This is the most hopeful video on covering acne that I have watched...and I have watched a lot. I would love to see a video on getting foundation/concealer to last all day on super oily skin.

[@jennpeters8]

This past month has been a cystic acne party on my face all of a sudden so your timing for this video is amazing!

[@GwynethPricePanos]

Totally bought your book! I’m a graduate of MUD & know some stuff but I always feel like I don’t know enough. I loved how your intro talked about art & painting. I totally agree with you & even posted a video about color theory in regards to painting (as apposed to makeup) recently. I was so excited when I saw you were a painter!!! Can’t wait to learn more from you. Love your humor too

[@ebonyonce]

thank you for blessing us with this video! the past few months i've had acne, which i never had before in my life (i'm 22) from stress and i feel so hideous. i don't usually wear foundation and stuff but i have been using the maybelline fit me concealer and it's been my life saver tbh

[@heathersvanity8648]

Kiki G. - I've been learning so much from this series and from your other content in general. You are a very effective teacher! I love that you explain "why" behind the "how". No doubt, I want to improve my own personal complexion makeup application, but after so many of your videos where I feel like I'm a student and taking in everything you're teaching - I'm longing to go back to school for makeup artistry. I'm not as young as I used to be. When I was in my late teens and early 20s, I wanted to go to school for special effects makeup. Alas, life had other plans with health problems out of my control. Art and creativity with makeup have always been a passion but I gave up on it long ago and have been kicking myself ever since. Sorry for the long comment, I guess I just wanted you to know what a fantastic teacher you are and what your content means to a lot of people out there that are just frustrated and confused while trying to figure out their own skin and makeup, as well as aspiring MUAs. The confusion and frustration is obviously made worse by the cosmetic industry's insane marketing and use of buzzwords. Just thank you so much.

[@KikiG]

What a beautiful comment. Thank you so much, that means the world to me! And I totally relate, I am just getting back into dancing and I'm definitely "too old" but I decided that we're never too old to do the things we love. By the way, if you're interested in getting into special FX, one of my good friends (and gifted and acclaimed special fx artist) has written a series of books on special fx makeup that I think are absolutely top notch. The Monstrous Makeup Manuals by Michael Spatola. They are absolutely FANTASTIC and he's one of my oldest friends in the industry. Good luck!

[@heathersvanity8648]

Never being too old to do what we love - deep down I know this to be true. Sometimes we just need reminding. I'll have to check out his books, thanks. Keep up the dancing!

[@beckahbb3423]

tutorial on this eye look PLEASE, its so gorgeous

[@cometZphoenix]

i have been STRUGGLING w/efficient ways to cover acne and this helped me out so much thank u!!!! love all ur videos

[@MeetMrsRobinson]

Glad you're back! 😘😘😘

[@sky_island]

Thank-you so much! I loved this base make-up tutorial. I always tend to run into issues, AFTER I apply my base, with the concealer and foundation smooshing around and looking yucky, I would love to know how you applied the rest of your contour and such and blended while leaving that lovely base in place

[@carpe_diem1237]

Please show us the way you finished this look, it’s lovely!

[@silvinhajusti]

Followed it to the letter. It worked A-amazing and a looked and felt like a diva! Thank you!

[@amandahamm3273]

Do you have a friend or model that you could do a video on about Scars from acne. I have huge holes that look highlighted when I use powder. They are so large nothing fils them in

[@danielleking3880]

Please do a video on color correction of hyperpigmentation. I have malasma and age spots. And I can never get them covered right and not fade, blend away or look cakey

[@SamanthaVictoria661]

You are truly insanely informative

[@pinkfeet518]

anybody who has oily skin, PLEASE try Josie Maran's argon oil line of skincare. every night I use the original oil as my moisturizer (even on my eyelashes and lips) and it's super lightweight and in the morning my skin feels like a baby's butt WITHOUT any oily residue. totally works great and fast to even out unbalanced oil

[@timbitsaredelicious]

michelle it made me break out :/

[@pinkfeet518]

timbitsaredelicious aw no! that's so weird being that it helps me to not break out. have you tried the other formulas they have, like the light oil and milk oil?

[@timbitsaredelicious]

michelle no I haven't! Maybe that will be better for me. My skin is sooo sensitive :(

[@pinkfeet518]

timbitsaredelicious my mom has bad rosacea and sensitive dry skin and she uses the milk one. it's weird because it's supposed to be thicker BUT it absorbs faster in my opinion and isn't so heavy like the regular oil. I would go into sephora and get a sample!! my mom swears by her line I think it's just trial and error

[@timbitsaredelicious]

michelle thank you so much for the recommendation! I will remember that next time I go to Sephora!

[@deeAeh]

I find that breaking out is emotional because even if I can even it all out, there are usually a few that are painful. They just keep reminding me of their existence. Acne sux.

[@morgana1990]

I just adore you

[@apocalypse_frau]

Guess who's back, back again....👍🏻

[@clearskinminerals7302]

what happened to applying concealer first? we did that in the 80s and 90s--

[@tammiepursley1561]

Love your channel ❣Love your personality & sense of humor 😄 Appreciate you sharing your professional knowledge & technical skills 👍🏻👏🏻 ( 🙋🏼 Caspian 👁 Can 👂🏼You 😃) he's so adorable ‼️

[@saraperkins8602]

Ok dudes i got a question about the most important topic to me: sunscreen. Kiki, i watch you apply other skin products like mists and oils over sunscreen all the time, and then rub them in all over... Doesnt that remove a lot of the sunscreen? I'm really particular about this, so sunscreen is ALWAYS my last step before makeup (then primer, foundation etc). Is this not necessary? Also! I've read a lot of articles that say sunscreen is only as effective as it should be when applied in proper amounts, which is about 2x the amount people normally bother with. So in that same vein, if it's mixed into a moisturizer or foundation, it's extremely diluted, and i would assume as a result less effective? Are these articles misinformed?

[@zaggy1921]

Do you have a tutorial on this look? It’s so simple but so pretty.

[@tedoymisojos]

The Kevin acouin sensual skin enhancer breaks me out ANd it slips and slides during the day leaving me with NO coverage even after powdering because I live in hot weather and have oily skin :( its basically pigment suspended in oil and vaseline.

[@ChristinaMagma]

Aww :( Have you tried the nars pot concealer?

[@tedoymisojos]

@@ChristinaMagma hmm 🤔 I havent tried that one. I'll check the ingredients

[@janaevoss1438]

Thank you so much for this video!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ALJohns-nm4ht]

I recently bought Bare Minerals products to help with my acne. It's the first time I've ever used a powder foundation and it just looks horrible. The concealer they matched me with covers my acne great, but whenever I put the powder foundation on I just look like I'm a 13 year old with bad skin, trying my mother's makeup. It looks absolutely horrible. Am I just doing it wrong? Or should I stick to liquid foundations while I'm battling a breakout? And is bare minerals not as great for acne as everyone says?

[@Edis_]

This is seriously so helpful! Kiki, what do you think about the silicone sponges? They don't waste as much products but they seem a bit hard to use (tho there's some more useful ones than the original silisponge) so do you have any recs which is the best? You seem to love the beautyblender a lot tho :P

[@nataliekillian5760]

Could you do a video all about products that will not cause flashback when photographed? I'm having a very hard time finding good products that won't cause them for my wedding.

[@tedoymisojos]

The kryolan Dermacolor breaks me out really bad. Like I got cystic spots on the cheeks next to the nose and around the orbital bone 😱. So I think I will steer clear from creams as much as possible sadly

[@SuperDesignChick]

You have such a lovely face shape.

[@kaleighmunsterman7691]

How can I blush & lightly bronze over texture? I recently tried some acne products that made things worse.. I now have tiny bumps on high checks & wanted to know if you had any advice? I’ve always used matte powder blush or light dabs of liquid blush so that shine doesn’t draw attention to my texture but I need some halp. Any tips? Thank you for the videos!

[@KikiG]

Kaleigh Munsterman that’s a tricky situation, but basically whatever you use needs to be a product that you can dab. I usually reach for creams/liquids that I can apply with my fingers or a sponge in a rabbit motion because it’s so much easier to apply and blend without messing up the coverage underneath. Swiping and blending powders on top seems to be really hard to do without removing the foundation/concealer when there’s texture. I like milk stick bronzer and glossier cream blushes I also like the Becca beach tint blushes!

[@KikiG]

And by rabbit motion I mean dabbing motion but I’m also interested in the idea of rabbit motion which I imagine is very quick and could potentially be turned into a thing.

[@madisonmsky4612]

I had really bad acne, much worse than yours. I tried a lot of things but ultimately I had to treat my guy dysbiosis to stop breaking out. I found I had allergies to certain foods like sugar and dairy which broke me out. Maybe finding a quality probiotic and reestablishing your gut microbiome could help? Just a suggestion. You provide us with quality information so I'd like to help you as well. XO

[@185natie]

Love your videos 💞 I need to only spot conceal my nose(weird I know) it’s red/oily & foundation always slides off. I like light/medium coverage on my face but because I have to cover the redness on my nose I tend to go full coverage on all my face. What do you recommend I do???

[@lizkimber]

How can i hide a big facial scar?

[@mishmash3968]

I see so many people putting concealer on spots after applying foundation, then ya see exactly where the person concealed because a two tone thing is happening.

[@asdf74]

Great video as always! Do you have any tips or tricks for cold sores that are healing or about to break out? I realise that itś close to impossible to hide when damage is done - but just before and after break out? This is my only big issue two or three times a year and then its really BAD AND UGLY! :(

[@sanitysquota937]

"If you liked this video...you should...hitch hike?" lol

[@madisonsyer8489]

you and FantasyASMR look so much alike!

[@clearskinminerals7302]

great

[@priscilladavenport1366]

I literally thought you were about to say "Good morning my precious peacocks" pecan sandies took a turn lol

[@saraanne4747]

helloo im a new subscriber 😊 great videos its like beauty class thanks for the awesome videos.!

[@gcr4674]

Thank you

[@reddrhythm]

Hey Kiki! At what age do you think it’s apt for a chemical exfoliant? I have heard people saying that one should avoid it when they’re younger since their skin is turning over naturally, and only use it later on. Or are there no rules to it?

[@Ella-gh4vv]

reddrhythm chemical exfoliants are for everyone! Even sensitive skin, with caution

[@AndreaCIC]

what color correcting product do you recommend for undereye darkness?

[@gz5626]

Andrea C.I.C. Peachy or orange correctors depending on your skin tone ☺️

[@sydneymcwhorter2093]

Did you take a break??

[@clearskinminerals7302]

would love for you to try my organic concealer :)

[@livelongandprospermary8796]

What do you do if your whole entire face is red (like i rubbed blush all over it). I’ve tried color correcting but no matter how little I use, it just looks like green on top of redness.

[@haleyeah5682]

Mary Hines a more yellow-olive toned foundation should neutralize the redness. good luck!

[@saraperkins8602]

Is it possible you're using an inappropriate shade of green? Often people go with really bright mint greens to correct redness, which can make them look washed out or sick or just greenish. Maybe try closely evaluating the tones in your skin and seeing what their true opposites would be. You might find you don't even need true green, but instead a yellowish green. A yellow foundation also might help, but i can see it being problematic if you're already red, because i presume your undertones are most likely pink too. Sorry if this isn't helpful and you've already tried it all. Best of luck!

[@livelongandprospermary8796]

Sara Perkins I’m very pink undertoned. I’ve used foundation that matches my undertone but it looks like I rubbed blush all over my face. So I tried the green color correcting cream with the pink undertones. Most greens that are available are too blue. I usually mix a yellow matte cream “highlight” (I’m pale af so the highlight is darker than my foundation 😂) with the blue-green and hope for the best. It’s super hard when my whole face is very red. It’s also difficult to cover the redness or weird green since I’m so pale. I’m limited on choices. Nyx isn’t even a drug store brand here. #firstworldproblems

[@livelongandprospermary8796]

Haley Cox pink looks 10x worse for me. I’m super pale so it doesn’t cover my extra redness very well and it looks like I’m using blush instead of setting powder.

[@WhereTheBeaversLive]

Everywhere you go will smell like an Abercrombie and Fitch 😂😂😂

[@23leotarose23]

ok ..so i'm probably a lot older than you...my son is 19 and i'm 38. I had him young and I was a single mom. I love your videos and I think you are super talented plus I love your personality and sense of humor. So I don't want you to think that this is an insult in any way, because it's not. One day if you're filming and you just happen to say..."mother**cker!****or****ass*hole***!!! and in the background we here a little voice say, "Mother**ucker!!!"...Please god ...oh god! Do not edit that out!!! It will be the funniest thing on the planet! Just sayin. But i really do love our videos and here's to all us kick ass working moms!

[@noctegonzo]

Wish I could taper my foundation coverage more than I do... But my face is a fucking different color than the rest of me. Sigh. Great content, though. Love you!

[@KikiG]

don't despair space witch! That is super common so you aren't alone. You can totally taper still but just apply a sheerer layer to clearer spots as opposed to putting no foundation in some places. But, you can see your face and I can't (at least as far as you know DUN DUN DUN) so follow your heart. Good luck with your makeup and space spells.

[@noctegonzo]

Kiki G. Thank you! That's essentially what I do most of the time. But it's like super duper a different color, lol, so there's only so much I can sheer anything out without it getting weird. Oh well.

[@livelongandprospermary8796]

My face without a full coat of yellow toned foundation is super red so I feel you. I’ve tried color correcting but it truly does not work for me (the whole face doesn’t look right covered in green no matter what)

[@noctegonzo]

Mary Hines same. Green is weird. I just go a bit on the yellow side with my foundation. But I'll tell you, my skin naked looks far less weird than if I put a correcting foundation on the face and sheer it out too much at the edges. It still has to be pretty opaque or it looks like I'm splotchy AND my foundation is the wrong shade. Sigh. The struggle is real, lol.

[@livelongandprospermary8796]

spacewitch to top it off, I’m fairly pale. My town is so small that nyx isn’t a drug store brand so I’m limited to cover girl and similar brands. If I’m lucky to find a shade match (and it will probably be pink based) the formula is wrong (matte when I need dewy since I also have dry skin ). TSIR (the struggle is real)

[@gaby6218]

[@spicyredhead7230]

Sweetie, that foundation color is way too yellow for you. You have more of a neutral undertone.

[@KikiG]

Princess Hillary ohhhhh yikes. Please don’t call me (or any grown ass woman) sweetie. What you’re seeing is the fact that the opposing wall behind my camera is actually yellow and the reflective light is throwing off the camera settings a bit. Still playing with this new setup to address the issue (I mentioned it briefly in my last video.) have a really, really great day.

[@madisonrussell7586]

HAHAHAHA SHE SNAPPED

[@ALJohns-nm4ht]

Hate when people "sweetie" me... It makes me think all kinds of un-sweetie-ish feelings that may or may not revolve around ripping the sweetie-calling person's throat out
