HOW TO GET SMOOTH, FLAWLESS FOUNDATION ON TEXTURED SKIN | My Current Mask-Proof Routine!

[@collette2990]

This powder trick works beautifully. I stopped this trick for a while and went bank to it. Sure enough, it works so well in the Texas heat. Also, I just loved it when she was waiting for the setting spray to dry, tapping her fingers together. I laughed out loud. I haven’t laughed in at least over a year. Lost my 17 year old fur baby during Covid and just all the frustration. You’re naturally funny, I can tell. You go ahead and keep cute funny things like that up. Beautiful and funny? What a delightful combo. It really felt good to laugh again. Thank you Risa.

[@soniak2269]

Jackie Aina is a huge advocate for powder before foundation, she’s the first one I saw doing it, she also is an oily queen 👑

[@melina22807]

The first one I saw doing this was Wayne Goss about 6-7 years ago but people have probably been doing this for years. This method works. I definitely notice the difference when I forget this step. 😄

[@215pcb]

Yes!!! Jackie has been doing this for years!!! Absolutely love her she’s awesome and damn does she have a great personality

[@m8272m]

Yes, oily queens unite!

(And figure out how to keep my nose from slipping away!)

[@nellyan7675]

Hey! You guys seem so knowledgable regarding this method. Can anyone tell me at what point I should put on concealer? She did powder-spray-foundation-powder

[@paulas153]

I have to say. . . .I tried this technique with Cover Girl Setting Spray, Flowers Beauty Light Illusion Foundation and CYO Finishing Powder. It works!! Risa rocks :)

[@godsgirl0019]

Risa, I wanted to say I tried this technique for the make up application today. I used what I had which was No7 translucent powder, Morphe setting spray, and since it was hot a Covergirl BB cream. My face looked airbrushed. I didn’t have time to spot conceal but the complexion was beautiful. I’ll be doing this a lot!!! Thank you!

[@kathelenordonez4251]

Wait it works with a morph setting spray,

[@llb8021]

Yes! I was going to ask: what about tinted lotion or something else other than liquid foundation/ concealer? Thank you!

[@lindseysreptiles]

Omg i have all of these! I am going to try this.

[@mariavotto6069]

Can we just take a moment to take in how PRETTY Risa looks in this video? (as usual) Great content, Risa - and you do look flawless. Will absolutely try this - especially the trick at the end! xo

[@luvleedenver2130]

Great video-!i hope it works for me as well... thanks

[@dinahweisberg750]

First thing I noticed is how stunning she looks!

[@jenniferi.4385]

Right? She always looks so fresh & pretty.

[@Butterfly_Forever]

Absolutely agree! She is very grounded, authentic and beautiful from the inside out!

[@luvleedenver2130]

Shondel S. Lutnes you got that right!

[@isirlasplace91]

I’m floored!!! I thought it was the foundations I buy!!! But I just tried your tutorial and it works on my textured discoloured skin!!!🙀 My skin looks practically flawless!!!

[@junehouge1276]

You can also use this method with mineral makeup as well. First apply mineral power foundation and the lightly apply the mineral liquid foundation on top. Works for aging skin, too. I learned this method when I was introduced to La Bella Donna Mineral makeup.

[@R3idy6589]

1st time here, am definitely going to try this. I am 39 and have never ever been able to wear foundation as it always looked terrible on my skin. I'd love to be able to finally wear a full face of makeup and not look worse than I did without it. Also I love that u threw that mask tip in!!!

[@SnowWhite-bv2dm]

This trick works so well I couldn't believe it. Foundation stays on place all day long. No creasing any more. Thank you 🙏

[@luvleedenver2130]

I just wanted to let you and your watchers know that I went ahead and tried the same thing but using Clinique products and L’Oreal finishing spray ( Matte first, then dewy last).I was shocked!! I can’t believe how nice my face looked! Nice and smooth!! I am so happy that I found you!! I am going to buy all the products you mentioned today, just to see how much better they are! Can’t wait- I will let you know how it looks. Thank you so much for your helpful, tutorials- I am off to show off my face!!! Wooo-Hoooo!!! have a lovely day.🥰

[@annlara5688]

I am a new subscriber, I found you by accident. Make up for 40+. I am one of those women who have been told I look much younger than my age. I am 58. But my skin has changed in the last 2 years. My lids have drooped. Searching for tricks and make-up to help. I’m loving your videos that really explain and show different products that can help.

[@Melody-285]

Wow, Risa - I’ve been watching you since you had about 30,000 subscribers, I think - I remember one video when you were discouraged & talked about quitting - so glad you persevered !

[@sandral5086]

I remember that too, so happy she stuck through, it paid off

[@nikkidrouin647]

I love your videos. I'm 42 and love that I can watch someone who deals with the same things who looks flawless. Thank you for doing this!

[@princesssela6204]

I must admit when I watched one of your videos I was thinking wow, so much makeup! I can back because I am missing an opportunity. Seeing you without makeup made me realize that perhaps I have a chance of a better appearance by trying your methods and some patience. Your finished results are gorgeous. I can see that my foundation is applied too thinly, no actual lasting coverage. Thank you and please continue.

[@souljourneyswithjulia]

I tried this method today, 9 hs later, many with my mask on and my skin looks great! Quite matte- it has never been matte for a full day before. Thank you!

[@armourofgodministries]

oh my goodness!! I needed this so bad!! My skin is far from perfect! I have redness, discoloration and large pores. Cannot wait to try this!! Thank you!

[@luzmilaluceyh9286]

I saw Wayne Goss's video on this method. It didn't work for my dry skin. Going to try it your way. The tip on spraying the mask is genious. I am a healthcare worker and I'm tired of my makeup ending on my mask.

[@FA-dv5he]

Did you try this method and did it work for your dry skin?

[@cabrooker]

If my skin looked as “textured” as your does before you’re makeup, I’d be thrilled!!! Your makeup always looks amazing!! I will definitely be trying this method out! Don’t have that setting spray but will experiment. Thank you!

[@Karlucci7]

I absolutely love this! I have been a Double Wear girl since it released in 1997. I'm 49 years old and I've been watching your videos since you first launched and I religiously watch your videos. Your content is always relatable and much appreciated. I have learned so much from you. Yes, I too believe I first saw the powder before foundation from Wayne Goss but that was way before my love for a beauty sponge. LOL You nailed it Risa!

[@tammyvaught2210]

I’ve been using this method for a few weeks. I’m a nurse so I’m wearing a mask for 12 hours straight when I’m working. The only thing I do different is after the setting spray I put primer on then foundation and I’ve been using Mac fix plus or the It cosmetics setting spray and those seem to work just fine. I started using this method to control oil more than to prevent transfer and it works great for that too. It’s never occurred to me to use setting spray on my mask though, I’m definitely trying that when I go back to work Sunday. I’m interested to see how it does on the N95 mask because that one is super tight on the face. I don’t have to wear it much, only when I’m giving breathing treatments, but it’s on around 12-15 minutes so that’s long enough to know if I’ll get any transfer. Thanks so much for the tip!!

[@RisaDoesMakeup]

Hi Tammy! First, THANK YOU for being a nurse and for everything you do to help people. I hope spraying the mask helps a little. Let me know if it does! 😃💕

[@LindaJohnson-rf7kz]

Tammy, thank you for being a nurse and caring for other’s always, but especially during this pandemic. You are very appreciated! 💕💓

[@seleneglez21]

Col hacks, and Shell dos lock wonderful but I'd think twice about applying setting spray on the mask

[@binderkim]

Ok, so I tried this and Im not sure what I did wrong, but I looked older then when I started. My pores were huge and my fine lines and wrinkles were so pronounced. I went back to my E.L.F poreless putty primer and my L'oreal 24hr Infallible foundation along with my Elf setting spray and had way better results. Everyone is different and if this method worked for most of you, that's awesome!

[@jennyegrider8089]

Omg, I just tried this. I don’t have textured skin but this technique kept my glasses from sliding down my nose. Also, I didn’t have any makeup transfer on my phone. Thank you for sharing!

[@lindanavai9778]

I just love the fact that your so girly Risa! I love the style of clothes you always wear, all the patterns, flowers, thats me too! I love flowery blouses and ruffles on them, everything you wear I love! You makeup looks sooo flawless I love it. Risa, I am 55 can you recommend me a setting powder that wont settle into my fine lines under my eye area? I am currently using the Charlotte Tillbury Airbrush Flawless Powder but it does settle into my fine lines making it look dry ...please your advice!! :)

[@Poodlemama1234]

Hi Linda, I hope you won’t mind me jumping in here! I’m also 55, and had the same problem with my under eye area. A beauty therapist friend gave me this tip so I thought I’d share it with you. So, after all my make up is finished, I take the tiniest dot of Elizabeth Arden face and body oil (any face oil would do though), I mean the tiniest, and using my ring finger I very lightly pat it over my under eye area. It keeps the area from looking dry and allows me to go in there and pat out any creasing during the day. It works brilliantly for me. Maybe you’ll find it helpful too 👍

[@lindanavai9778]

@@Poodlemama1234 Aww, thank you so much for this tip!! And I will of course try it anything to keep the area from looking dry..:)

[@denorakuschel2473]

Risa, tried your foundation tip today and it worked beautifully. It was 95 degrees and humid here in FL. Even sprayed my mask, that too worked. Thank you

[@iwillstom]

Would you consider doing a video with tips on how to apply foundation when dealing with retinol flaking? It's so frustrating. Looking at bare skin I think I've exfoliated everything off but as soon as I apply foundation all the flaking reappears and I literally freak out thinking I'm going to have to leave the house looking crazy. Any specific tips besides just "exfoliate" would be much appreciated.

[@lucyi1202]

Same here! I use retin-A and so many times I have had to wash off my foundation and start from scratch because my skin will literary start flaking and peeling with foundation on it 😩😩 And I always make sure to use a good moisturizer and it still happens. Very disheartening 😞

[@mariagismo699]

It's a shitty time definitely. What helped me a little is using a sponge instead of a brush 乁( •_• )ㄏ

[@sherryg5813]

Try using the cerave healing ointment on areas where the dry patches are the night before bed. I'd apply the tiniest amount and see if you need to add more next time. It is greasy. A little goes a long way for me. I also use it on the back of my hands to from all the hand sanitizer & hand washing. You wake up with brand new hands & face.

[@micheleflores321]

Hi, have you tried the first aide beauty ultra repair cream before your sunscreen? It works amazing! It will not break you out at all and this cream gave me back the hydration from using tretinoin you will love it!

Moisturizing is the best thing to do. What I love is the Juno & Co Moonshine priming cream is my favorite!!! It primes & helps with little flaky bits!!!!

OMG this trick has made all my primers redundant! And my oily textured skin sooooo much smoother! My foundation lasted a lot longer before the need to blot, double bonus! Thanks for the great tip, Bye bye primers. Love the look and makeup too Risa, you look fabulous 🤗

[@leonoregatti5143]

Risa, I don't even put a stitch of makeup on my face since covid in March. I must be depressed or there is no one that I see in the grocery store and then i live alone. I am saving a ton of money, although I am buying books off of amazon. what a life I am living but I feel that's the way it is right now for me.

[@halemaali348]

Wow, such a big difference. I had given up with my textured, big pores, acne scarring, etc. skin but I will try this technique! I've never used a setting spray but now will try that too. Thank you for going through the technique so thoroughly!!!

Thank you for your hard work!

[@fabiwilliams4644]

Thanks so much for this clip. I have textured oily skin & work as a nurse. It has been a huge issue for me that my makeup consistently becomes an oil slick & ends up all over my face & mask despite using a setting spray so I'll be trying this technique from now on

[@RisaDoesMakeup]

I really hope it works for you too and thank you for being a nurse.💕

[@rockydeskutch]

When you gave the tip for no makeup transfer at the end, it dawned on me before you mentioned it what the trick was. Thank you for sharing this as I will be sharing with my friends here in Southwest Florida. The heat had me completely giving up on makeup and I love this trick. I stopped using the disposable ones be they are just so darn itchy and not as good for the environment. With all my pretty cloth masks, I am going to try makeup again. Thank you for all of your tips, tricks and honest advice.

[@terilongacre854]

Thank you for sharing! Will give this a try. Stopped using foundation as when us ladies 50 and over don’t look cute having cake face accenting our wrinkles. Nothing worse than seeing a woman continuing to use foundation in elder years only makes you look even older. I have learned tricks how to accentuate our looks as we get older watching u tube tutorials 🤗

[@allih8021]

New subscriber here and I am loving your channel! I'm 44 and while my skin is in pretty good shape overall, I do have some fine lines and I have rosacea and when I flare up I need way more coverage. Finding a technique that balances my need for coverage with my desire to not look cakey or have those fine lines look way less fine has seemed almost impossible. So excited to give this a try! Thanks for always sharing great tips, tricks and techniques that really work well for those of us over 40. :)

I know it's been almost a year since this video was posted but I found it yesterday while trying to find a solution for my 38yo orange peel skin. I'm Brazilian, currently living in Ohio, and my skin is super oily. A few hours after doing my make up, with a closer look I could see "foundation dots" all over my face, which made me really self-conscious about the issue. I'm trying the technique today and hopefully it will help. I've just done my make up and all I can say so far is that it looks amazing. I used the Elf HD loose powder (sheer) and the L'Oreal Infallible setting spray. I'm gonna try the Urban decay All Nighter (vitamin C version) tomorrow. I'm really excited! Thank you so much for the help!

[@katiecarr2715]

Can we all just have a moment of silence for all of our lip product graveyards? I don’t wear lipstick just at home (kissing babies) and don’t want it on the inside of my mask so I practically haven’t worn any since March. 😩

[@susanyakus3879]

Check out Lipsense by Senegence. It won't budge, kiss off, transfer. I wear it under my mask with no problems.

Try a mask bracket which keeps the mask off your lips- plus you can breathe and talk.

[@sydneyfrench95]

I'm in a medical lab science program and they have us change out our masks for their masks when we enter the building for our labs. I already use Estee Lauder DW + Laura Mercier Translucent powder, but all my makeup from my cheeks and chin come off onto the mask. I'll have to try your methods! Just imagine whipping out my setting spray to spraying it down in the mask queue :P

[@susanyakus3879]

I wonder if other setting sprays work as I just got the Mac one. Thanks 😊

Hello sweetie. I am ao glad I found you. I am desperate for some help. Little into my story.. I'm 41 about 2 years ago i was diagnosed with lupus... into that i am about 9 month into being a single mom youngest is 7 and autistic... when i finally left... i had to choose to leave fast and with hardly nothing. Before I was financially stable. But the abuse and narcissism was really had. Mentally emotionally and physically at times. There were times that I honestly thought my kids were better off if I didn't wake up. Sadly even writing this... i tear up. I still wonder if I'll ever get out of my head hearing him or the things I still think of myself. I really let myself go and lost me. I'm working 8n it but my kids come first... its not easy right now we are all living in a one bedroom my oldest has now decided he hates me and I haven't talked or seen him on 4 months. He is 21... he unfortunately believes alot if lies because i was very good at hiding alot and pretending things were okay. And I stayed so long because of my kids.. especially my youngest he needs alot and anyone with a special needs child i hope gets it. Anyways.. i used to have so muvh makeup. Ohhh too much. And i realize just how blessed I was. But ill never go back. Ever... anyways enough about my hot mess express. I dont try to spend too much on myself but my skin has done a 360 and I swear no matter what primer or foundation it seems to go into my skin I have pores now.. redness and breakouts. I had cystic acne years ago and have some scarring.. and holes. Yuck. But anyways I do get 3 or so breakouts every month .. dry skin usually. But now it seems to be a little oily and I thought with more mature skin it got dryer..idk. can you please help me or suggest maybe some foundation.. bases primers.. thats my biggest thing. I truly need it. I usually used the glory foundations but realized maybe I need to go to matte but am afriad of it showing my scars and things more. Any help im more than grateful. [e-mail] @erikalynn_78 ( Instagram) Or old skool Erika Stewart 4283 King Harmon Lane Pulaski Virginia 24301 It would really mean alot to me.. I'm not the best at social media.. just really learning. Ive always had a Facebook and all just never really messed with anything other than Instagram because well I didn't want to upset my husband or give him any reason to take away anything ( and when he did he would take from the kids too because he knew it hurt me) so I did all I could just to make sure they always had what they needed. I am in no way looking for handouts. Just support. I have always loved makeup and hate to say this but when you go to an Ulta( only thing near me) and talk to a 20 some year old about what you need. Its hard for them to even know with their perfect skin and all. I have an Ulta gift card Im saving and realize alot of things are not available there and are sold at Sephora.... but I will do my best to get the bases. And would really appreciate it. I enjoy watching you when I get the chance and my youngest absolutely loves seeing all the beautiful colors and enjoys helping me to my makeup and swatching colors when I get the occasional newbie. God bless and hope u and yours are well and safe.

Does it matter if its loose or pressed powder? Ive only tried pressed...

First, I know I’m a little late and I’m kind of a newcomer to your channel and I just wanted to recommend the fab pore 3 in one serum. I know it’s drugstore but I have tried many high end products as well and nothing I mean nothing performs like it for oily skin!

Would blush after the last light powder foundation have to be a powder blush, or would cream blush work as well?

Thank you so much for the setting spray on mask trick I would've never tried it, I also find that the EL foundation has the least tranfer with a mask but it still rubs off after a day at work, can't wait to try this !

You look beautiful here! Hair and makeup are on point! Do you have a hair tutorial for this gorgeous beachy hair look? Loving your hair color too. If you ever consider doing a hair tutorial, I’d love to hear what coloring your stylist uses. Is this considered balayage?
