How To Get A FLAWLESS BASE EVERY TIME And Avoid Caky Foundation | OVER 40

[@magpiesneedle2575]

I’m 58. I started using makeup around age 15 (no foundation though). I’m pretty good at it by now (did a few wedding looks for friends back in my 20s), but I always get at least one tip I didn’t know about when I watch you. This was a really good video and I enjoyed it very much and Just to say, you are immensely watchable 😊

[@PamperedWolf]

Thank you x

[@Christins8818]

I recently found a really simple and very helpful treatment for my skin, if it has problems like pimples or inflammation of any kind. Nappy creme with high amounts of zinc oxid. I use the Penaten wound creme. It helps over night. Even these bad hormonal pimples get much much better over night. I had this idea from Dr. Shirin Idris and she calls it skin basting. It really works. Also you look like Casper the friendly ghost for the night 😅

[@JPMJPM]

All teenagers should know about this!

[@Christins8818]

@@JPMJPM try it, it's inexpensive and works. Teenagers can be challenging though if they don't care about a good cleansing routine. The son of my partner complains about his skin issues but even using a creme regularly is way too much efford 🤣

[@PortlandRose]

Yes, i just started using and the results are truly amazing~

[@Chihiro33333]

I am 57 years old, and I use the same technique as you with the foundation: application with brush and then tap it in with the damp sponge, but I spray the sponge first with Laura Mercier setting spray. The foundation melts into the skin and the setting spray makes it stay put. 😊

[@maireadweaver8952]

I have recently found that if i dampen the sponge with the Lisa Eldrige setting pray to press in my foundation that it makes everything look so much better, more blended/smooth and skin-like!!

[@33333rose]

Looking forward to watching your next video on foundation over 40. Would REALLY appreciate any drugstore foundation that is a luminous matte...didn't know that one could exist in this formulation.

[@CandidLy1]

I found the L’Oréal Tru Match liquid fits that bill and one of the highest rated drugstore rivaling high end and often better 👍

[@33333rose]

@@CandidLy1 I recently purchased this and agree it's a nice foundation but I find it doesn't provide enough coverage for me.

[@CrazyMaryJo]

Am 75. Can’t wait to try your foundation tips on my plump facial skin. Especially blotting off excess of skin serum/moisturizer first. 🥳

[@sumitahore1064]

I so agree with using a damp sponge after applying foundation with brush, works for me, leaves a flawless finish.🎉

[@lesliepease7192]

I just watched your video on the best Estée Lauder foundations. I just discovered the double wear last year, tried a futurist sample and agree with your conclusions on both. I love the DW which is my go to, but I do have extremely dry skin and still end up a bit cakey. I was really hoping after that EL video that you would follow through with the one on getting EL Double Wear just right. I thought maybe this was it. This video was very helpful and showed me mistakes I will rectify in my routine though so thank you!

[@brooks6348]

Givenchy Prism Libre Powder is the greatest product I’ve bought this year. It is amazing and is the finest milled powder I’ve seen. Thanks for recommending it. I love all your videos!

[@Toothlessbeauty]

I just bought some after using Elf products and Maybelline Fit Me, and I can really see a difference using a better powder for sure!

[@onewhisper22005]

I haven’t tried the Trigwell puff. BUT there’s a big sponge called Blend & Snap Large Powder Puff that I got off Amazon for $6.99 that’s amazing! I love how big it is! It looks like the Trigwell one in size. So anyone looking for a more affordable option, might want to try that! ❤

[@stephanieweingarten7934]

I’ve been a Mac girl since forever and I tried to stay away from more glowy options because I’ve got oily skin. I got influenced on KZbin and went and bought their new Studio radiance foundation and wow, it’s glowy but soooo nice on my oily acne prone 40+ skin. I just set it with a powder around the nose, chin and the center of my forehead. I got compliments on how nice my skin looks. It’s not super full coverage but I like it that way.

[@elacampusano7341]

I very much agree with you Gemma, less foundation is better 🥰

[@debbieotoole1072]

Great video, Gemma. I saw a tip from Robert Welsh when you powder with the puff and you press it into the skin, press and roll so don't just press, it really makes a difference because your pressing the powder in and then rolling over the top 😊

[@PamperedWolf]

I have tried that, but I can’t say I’ve seen much of a difference than just pressing it into the skin xxx

[@DelectionPie]

Thank you! That brought back many memories from when my mum did Avon, as they sent her on beauty courses with Barbara Daly and Anita Roddick and others I can't remember! Oil of Ulay was our go to and I'd set the oven timer for 15 minutes, then apply revlon foundation and Rimmel concealer. I never used powder but those blotting paper from the Body Shop. I now know why my mum screamed every time I left the mirror on 20× zoom 😅 Then a mad dash for the tweezers!

[@paolalollypop2057]

Hey! I discovered you juast these last days and I thanks you for the tips you share with us (I am an 63years old italian woman 😊)

[@jackiespencer392]

[@g.970]

@@janeburke147 unfortunately, Chanel just raised the price. But it takes very very very little. I’ve had my jar since June and I’ve barely made a dent. Even the price isn’t going to scare me away. It’s that good. People complain about it being in a jar, but I decant some in a tiny Chanel sample jar. I keep most of it in the original jar. It’s just so pretty

Fortunately it’s a little bit cheaper here than the UK. I don’t have a foundation brush that small, maybe the zoeva concealer brush would do the trick? I always have problems getting even coverage on my nose!

[@M0RRGIE]

Being an italian I have always had oily skin, "Greasy Wop" was my nick name at english boarding school (now don't everyone go wild about that, I am from the era of "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me". I can't say I had acne but used to come up with some very big spots every now and then. However, since hitting menopause my skin has totally changed, I think the used term is normal but I would say it is fantastic. So I avoid foundations and stick with my trusted Erborian CC Cream. I did enjoy the pretentious wafting then that cartoon moment with the idea of using the fan. Glad you found the fan I remember you had lost it.

[@PamperedWolf]

I was elated when I found it xxx

[@TheCazz10]

Amazing results! Very professionally edited video. Pity the main foundation isn’t available in Australia

[@janinabarlow621]

Please take a look at Studio 10 make up would love a review. It's designed for older skin and very pro age.

[@dorothyevans3864]

Love it! Looking forward to the foundation video, especially now I’m hitting sixty and menopause has done a number on my skin turning the oily t-zone into death valley, so looking to reevaluate what’s out there right across the mature range - and there’s no chance I’m splashing out on the CDP; I rather fancy retiring this year 😊.

[@vickinparadox]

Great helpful content. Can't wait for your foundation over 40 one. Can you address what foundation is best for mature, textured and large pores? Is the Cle De Peau one good for that?

My biggest issue is my actives and sunscreen pilling and causing a mess for foundation. I have Melasma so I have to use pigment inhibitors and mineral sunscreen.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to keep my foundation from settling into the fine lines under my eyes. I use the BK Beauty 101 brush to apply my foundation (NARS Sheer Glow or Clinique Even Better), I do not apply it too heavily, I don't generally use concealer, and I press a light amount of loose setting powder (Dermablend) with a medium brush. Should I use concealer under my eyes instead of foundation, even though I don't have under eye discoloration? What am I doing wrong??

Yes. Ditch the foundation under your eyes. Not all foundations are formulated correctly for that area. Use a concealer instead x
