How to Prep Dry Skin for Makeup

[@enhgtn]

By far my go-to MUA for tips & techniques!

[@AngieDiB]

Yay!!!! Thank you!

[@christicaballero1192]

Hi, I'm an esthetician/MUA. I bring the dermalogica daily resurfacer with me. It is a little pad that fits over one of your fingers and its a great exfoliater. It also comes in individually wrapped packs, so awesome for us! After i do this, i will wipe it with a water wipe (found in baby section) the, I always use an essence before any serum, oil or moisturizer. In exteme cases, ill use the philosophy purity made simple mask right after exfoliating and before moisturizers. This mask is great bc it stays on for only one minute and then you wipe it, again with a water wipe! This mask isn't for hydration, its a cleaning mask but for extreme cases where clients have alot of built up skin, this will deep clean to allow skin to effectively use the moisturize and hence a much better canvas! If I happen to have to use everything I have stated above, it still only adds 5 minutes, but its 5, well worth minites spent, to have the makeup look great. *** of your client is extra sensitive, use the dermalogica colloidal mask instead. Its calming and hydrating!i carry this incase the exfoliation makes their skin super irritated or with a little birning sensation, this mask is calming. Its what we use after a laser treatment or a harsh peel. It will soothe and calm. Just a few little things I thought may be helpful to someone.

[@baluxyanahiam3630]

Thanks a bunch for sharing this information I will add this to the skincare routine I do on clients with dry skin issues

[@christinamariehollis]

Costco sells cotton rounds in bulk and it has one side that has a bit of a rougher texture and one side that has a soft texture. These are so amazing for your spot exfoliation you're talking about. Also you can easily remove the layer of rough texture on the cotton pad. It's not like "rough" but it's textured so to speak. So perfect for this. Pretty sure they are just the Costco Kirkland brand of cotton rounds.

[@Selsmittenxo]

Christina Marie Hollis that's what I get! Good quality and worth the price :))

[@AngieDiB]

I get those as well!!! Love them!

[@silviakhanmohamed181]

Christina Marie Hollis Thank you!

[@Clarisavcg]

I’ve been wearing foundation and noticed now matter which one I buy or how much I pay, I always see patchiness. This video was FOR ME!!! Thank you so much.

[@gisehelc]

Thank you, you are really a makeup artist that knows what she is talking about. I wish I would have seen videos like this when I started freelancing. Your doing a great job! Love your videos! 😘😘😘

[@AngieDiB]

Thank you so much!!!!!

[@emilyjurgens386]

LOVE all of these videos. Wanted to add that Cetaphil’s Daily Hydrating Lotion for dry skin is very good. It’s light and hydrating and a good prep before adding hydrating mists or additional moisturizers.

[@SunRae96]

I am so happy i found your channel! Every video is so helpful to me, you cannot find many videos with as much in depth information as you give angie! not without paying anyway! Thank you for sharing real make up artistry videos!

[@AngieDiB]

Glad you are finding them helpful Rachel!

[@jackiec759]

Embryolisse is the best thing you have ever recommended. I look forward to putting it on every day.....the smell is just so fresh and the quality is like nothing else. I also love mixing it with the Ordinary's 100% Plant Squalane Oil in the winter. I am not a makeup artist but love skincare and I really learn a lot from your videos. thank you =)

[@light405]

I love the way you explained everything with so much detail, leaves me with no questions!! Thank you !

[@patriciajaworski9222]

omg THANK YOU for talking about exfoliation for dry skin... makes such a difference with my clients but so often overlooked! Love your stuff gal

[@AngieDiB]

Thank you so much Patricia!

[@SoDoneWithUsenames]

I'm thoroughly impressed with this channel! Angie is an encyclopedia of unbiased and proper make-up application. Real experience, tips, tricks, guidance, ... you name it - she's got it covered and backed-up with in-depth, first hand experience 👌 This channel is pure knowledge presented in a very professional and amiable manner. Thanks for all your effort and dedication, Angie 🙌

[@AngieDiB]

Thanks so much!

[@kirstymacfarlane1620]

Your tips are fantastic! I'm having a bit of unhappy skin at the moment. Dry, blotchy, it's a but like sensitive meets rosacea meets acne but without the inflamed spots! Your tops are very gentle, I've tried a couple tonight and it's not as red. I didn't wash my face on the shower I used micellar water after instead and that's definitely helped. Thanks Angie xxx

[@alaynaneal1232]

Hey Angie!! I'm so happy you finally came out with this video. i was so eager for it! :) I'm not sure what is available in Canada, also I didn't read the comments before posting this, so forgive me if this has already been mentioned.. The brand Simple is great GREAT for sensitive skin.. they also have a wipe that is fairly textured on one side for exfoliation. It's actually marketed as an exfoliating wipe for sensitive skin. I use it daily, morning and night (on the five to six nights of the week I don't use an actual exfoliating scrub) for my super dry skin. It's also a staple in my kit. Also, I'm not sure if you mentioned this, but anytime I'm cleansing or exfoliating a face (ESPECIALLY those dry skinned beauties) before an application (or anytime really) I NEVER let the skin air dry. I always pat dry with a towel or cloth because I find with air drying a face will actually pull out extra moisture that is vital for dry skin. press drying it with a cloth dries the face, but also insures no extra moisture will be taken away in the drying process. Just a little tip I learned in my time of work. :)

[@AngieDiB]

Great tips and I will definitely try those Simple cloths because they are easy to find here!! Thank you!!!

[@LouwuPie]

Not sure if u managed to find exfoliating wipes, in case you didn't i finally found some excellent ones. They're the brand Nivea and their name is '3-in-1 Deep cleansing exfoliating wipes' they have a good rough texture, rough enough to get the dead skin off but never so rough the skin is irritated. I buy so many of these now, massive time saver ! hope that helps anyone if u still didn't find any :)

[@AngieDiB]

Oh awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@meanluvv2075]

I can’t find them ???

[@LouwuPie]

@@meanluvv2075 long time ago, not sure if theyre still around. maybe they switched up the name a little

[@thobekilekacheta9523]

Literally sitting with a notepad for all these tips,thank you Angie 😘

[@lillimae7110]

There is exfoliating wipes by Sephora which work really well for spot exfoliating

[@AngieDiB]

I tried them when they were on sale and they were great!!!

[@farahmakeupandhair]

Angie Di Battista i use the sephora papaya ones .. they are amazing

[@izzylizzy9905]

What were they called?

[@veronicaromano8396]

Your videos are so educational, thank you so much!

[@AngieDiB]

Thanks Veronica!

[@bguzmantaylormakeupllc2171]

Hi Angie! I recently started using "compressed towels" in my kit and I absolutely LOVE them for exfoliation (and other uses too!). They are the size of a mint (you can get them individually wrapped or loose) and you just need a few drops of water to make them expand. I LOVE them, because they have a decent texture (not too rough but does the job) and best of all: they have no "product" in them! No skincare or cleansers or anything. One less irritant for a compromised skin. So I can use them with just water, OR with Bioderma, Embrioliyse, Sex-Appeal, or whatever I want. ...P.S. I get them on Amazon. I think they're mostly sold for campers and Moms on-the-go.

[@AngieDiB]

This is a great tip!!! Thank you!

[@shannaf34]

Can you do a video on the best tips on covering up really bad acne or rosacea and still have the skin looking like skin and not a cake face?

[@AngieDiB]

Great question! The short answer is to use foundation with great pigment and colour correctors (green to neutralize red) so you don't have to layer on a ton of product for coverage. Cake face is the result of unnecessary amounts of product on the skin.

[@shannaf34]

Awesome, thanks for the advice! Do you have any colour correctors that you recommend?

[@AngieDiB]

I really only use the MAC peach and yellow cream correctors in my own kit, in a pinch I use stuff from the MUFE Flash Palette!!!

[@EmilyRad]

I really like doing a thin layer of IT cosmetics bye bye redness. It is super pigmented so a little goes a LONG way, and it works as a great base as well to keep oils at bay.

[@DdShevanii]

use cerave

[@Alyssa-ui7bf]

This is amazing thank you so much! I have incredibly dry skin and it will drink up any moisturizer I try ; so even if I apply moisturizer 5 seconds prior to applying makeup it still sinks in and I’m left with makeup/skin flakes and just overall dryness ! I will try your tips of layering moisturizer with face oils- I do this at night before bed so no idea why I haven’t thought to try it as skin prep for makeup! Thank you!! 🙏🏼

[@satomi_woogie]

hi angie. thank you for your videos. i am watching all of them and i love how informative they are and how articulate you are. i am not a makeup artist but i like to learn about it and i will surely put some of your tips into practice. i agree with you about avène, bioderma and embryolisse because i use their products very often and i believe that they deliver really good results. i'd like to suggest a video about makeup for texture and relief issues on the skin like scars and keloids. :)

[@AngieDiB]

Great suggestion!!!!

[@satomi_woogie]

[@AnnaCash]

Kiko has amazing exfoliating wipes, they are a bit rough so you have to be gentle but other than that they really get off all of the dead skin! I'm using that in my kit too for clients with really dry skin.

[@sicilianbeauty13]

I have dry skin and these were great tips. I love Embryolisse moisturizer and have been using it for more than 5 years. A good exfoliating wipe is First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads. I have sensitive skin and these don't bother me at all. They get the job done without being too rough on the skin.

[@loveablebraidsnstyles8383]

I just want to say that I love you lol for real. You are my Go to MUA tips and you have helped me out in so many ways then you would ever know.

[@AngieDiB]

🤗 this is such a lovely comment. Thank you so much, I am so appreciative of comments like these, and thank you for watching my videos!

[@crystalminnella8907]

This was so so helpful. I have been struggling with clients that have dry to severely dry skin. Thank you again!

[@officAllie1991]

Peter Thomas Roth firm x peeling gel is super gentle as a spot exfoliator. Skin doesn't get very red but dead cells literally roll off. Its the best trick for dry skin or dry spots.

[@AngieDiB]

Thank you for sharing that trick!

[@farahmakeupandhair]

Sephora has bomb exfoliating wipes .. i keep it in ny kit the papaya ones it smells really fresh and tropical and works like a dream .. try it

First Aid Beauty's Radiance Pads work great for exfoliation! I like to cut them in half or in quarters to make them last longer!

[@AngieDiB]

Good idea!!!! I'll have to try that!

[@danaabuswailem8399]

Roc resurfacing disks are great for spot exfoliating they have a gentle side and a bit rougher side.

[@silviakhanmohamed181]

I have dry/combo rather sensitive skin at least to oils and been liking the Lireal Revitalift (white/red pump) in clear plastic, the glycolic pads and glycolic scrub I keep in shower but only use 2-3 times a weeks. Been getting compliments on my skin so it must be working and I’m 55. Yeah baby! Lol! So nice to hear those words at this age. 😎

[@snehavdiwan3114]

Hi Angie...a big Hello + THANK YOU from New Delhi,India! My first comment ever - after watching, subscribing and liking a dozen of your amazing videos!! Great Tips!! Amazing Videos!! I am a Senior Professional Temptu Airbrush Trainer for Delhi/NCR and I have learnt so so so much from you that I really wish you could feel my hug reaching you! "I" "LOVE" "YOU"! As for the product in my knowledge which is great for taking away all the dead skin cells from the surface of the skin for sensitive+flaky/dry skin is- Clinique Clarifying Lotion It would simply remove all the flaky dead skin cells with a single gentle wipe with a cotton pad. Then you may use all the products you love to use for prepping the dry skin up before makeup. Hope it helps! Much Love,

[@lupevelazquez6854]

I love using the First Aid Beauty exfoliating pads. They're super gentle and work well on all skin types, especially sensitive skin. They work beautifully & give an instant fix 😊

[@AngieDiB]

Thanks Lupe! Some of the other viewers have recommended this too so I will have to try it for sure!!! Good to know they work on sensitive skin!

[@alejandrasoto8988]

Hi Angie! I am just starting my freelance mua career and you have been such an inspiration and goldmine find for me. I would really love a video on foundation application on different skin types and different foundations (water or silicone base) Which foundation type is best for each? What beauty tools are best for application on either? I've been using the Wet N Wild Photofocus Foundation on my clients and even though I moisturize and prime their face y find it ends up looking dry and gets caked. I have had to remove and re apply most of the time adding some oil but find it doesn't always help. PLEASE HELP! I love all your videos, you are a godsend! 💋

[@AngieDiB]

Hey Alejandra! I would ditch that foundation if I were you, if you are having that much trouble with it - it's not worth it! There are so many foundations out now that are almost fool proof to use!

[@alejandrasoto8988]

Angie Di Battista Thank you Angie! I have already ordered the RCMA palette thanks to your suggestions! Would still appreciate the video though!😊

[@bonniecarlson2373]

I use the nu face exfoliating cloths! They can be a bit pricy but totally worth it!

[@khadijanurulhasan3791]

Hello!! I am a MUA that is new to the industry and I have to say that your channel has been really helpful and I really appreciate you sharing your tips and skills. Thank You! Also I had some questions! Would you recommend the RCMA foundation over Mac foundations? Is the RCMA really superior in ingredients? How do I start to figure out undertones and how to get the perfect foundation without wasting time if I have a bunch of customers to do? Because before I would just use Mac which has set colors. Thank you so much!!

[@AngieDiB]

Hello! You really have to work with what is best for you when it comes to foundations. I like RCMA because I can transform it into a number of finishes - from sheer to opaque - I can work with this foundation quickly and easily, and I don't need to bring a large number of different foundations with me. As far as colour matching goes it's just matter of learning what shades in RCMA work for what skin tones, once you have an understanding of that it's just a matter of swatching the product on your client like you would any other foundation to make sure you have selected the best shade. If you love MAC and it's working for you than continue to work with it!

[@dafnagode6435]

Hey, just a side note- rose hip oil isn't an essential oil, it's actually a carrier or "normal" oil. Essentials are lavender oil, tee trea oil, etc, that need to be diluted before applying to the skin.

[@AngieDiB]

You are right! Good catch, sometimes when I am editing I don't catch these little errors because I get used to the sound of my own voice lol

[@curvyrockchiccurvyrockchic5028]

Hey Angie! I stumbled across your channel a few days ago and I'm so thankful for your videos! Your channel is honestly a breath of fresh air! I really appreciate how real you are. I'm trying to build a small freelance kit to create natural glam looks mostly for bridal prom or a nice date night out. My go to style is warm neutrals for the eyes. I'm getting a few MAC blushes. Are there any your recommend? Also what do you think of the MAC Paint Pots for eye primer? I know every Beauty Guru has talked them up so much (Soft Ochre & Painterly). I'm so tempted to get both... but if there is something you use that works better I would love to try that instead.

[@AngieDiB]

Great questions! Paint pots are amazing and they are a great addition to your kit (both colours) blush wise just keep it neutral to pinks and peaches and make sure to get a couple of shades for deeper skin tones. One of my favourite mac blushes for bridal on fair skin is Rosy Outlook!!!

[@DotWillow]

Thanks for wonderful video ! Angie try KIKO exfoliating wipes, they are quite rough so very very gently on skin but great for any stubborn dry patches and also I use it to exfoliate lips ! xx

[@AngieDiB]

Ohhhhh i've seen this brand in a few kits - how is the makeup?

[@DotWillow]

it is a hit and miss with Kiko imho but overall pretty decent higher standard , I do like their nail polishes and some of their lipstick ranges are really amazing! do you have any stores in Canada to try it?

[@AngieDiB]

I don't but I have friends who travel quite a bit and can bring me back some!!! I'll have to try the lipsticks!

[@lanawells9644]

the best exfoliating wipes I've seen are from Sephora Collection. They are great and not too terribly expensive because it is the in-house brand, check 'em out!

[@AngieDiB]

Lana! I just tried them and they are so great!!!! You are totally right and the price is pretty good!!!

[@ma.fritzmendoza]

Hi Angie another helpful video i love it.thank you so much. i heard about the neogen exfoliating pad. ive been using some korean skincare myself and im planning to try that. you might want to check that out but not sure though if its available in your country.

[@AngieDiB]

I will definitely be checking that out, but I may have to get it shipped here!

[@Josh-pe5pl]

Absolutely love your info and I'm not a MUA...knowledge and options for our skin and makeup keep changing--especially since i was born in the 1940s! 🌺 from Hawaii. Your sharing is admirable.

[@maisonB.IB1]

Hello Angie! So I know a great product for quick exfoliation its the serum from the ordinary with vitamin c suspension 23% and HA. When I apply it on my skin and just work it into my skin the dead skin cell come out of my skin immediatly. Its a gentle exfoliation and now i use it on my client as well. Hope it will help! And thank you for all your video it really helps me and im so happy when you talk about tips that i already use but even more when i learn new stuff that are going to help me to elevate my makeup game! Kisses from france!

[@shebaglam9977]

LOVED this video!!! I found the First Aid Beauty Exfoliating wipes to be great! Have you tried it? I cannot wait to use some of these tips on clients!

[@AngieDiB]

Thank you! I recently had the opportunity to try the First Aid Beauty wipes and I find them to be quite pricey and they didn't make that much difference for me personally - but people love them!

[@makeupbychelseyb2681]

Just stumbled across this video and that Ordinary oil is awesome! Any updates on this video for spot exfoliating? It would be great if there were wipes or pads that were sold that have slightly raised bumps to grab and remove that old, dead dry skin that do not contain a soap/cleanser as many other exfoliating wipes do. I don't want to have to worry about removing soap/cleanser off my clients face.

[@AngieDiB]

I'm still using baby wipes/exfoliating makeup wipes! The exfoliating pads commonly sold are too expensive for me and most of them contain ingredients that are a little to harsh for me to leave on a client's skin (especially a client I have never worked on before).

[@sumeeksha]

Omg ..... I always face this type of skin often thank u so much to educate me about dry skin 😘😘

[@twizachristian6285]

thanks Angie.. great tips! As a side note, you NEED to get Sonia Roselli's Sex A peel and water balm and even her Japanese Cleansing oil.. they are absolutely amazing products.. I suggested you to join Glossible, did you get a chance? So Glossible is Sonia's group and these are all her products

I love your tips and tricks! ❤️

[@dydoosh13]

Hi Angie!! I' m binge watching your videos and find the depth of them perfect for artists!! I would really love a video where you could explain when makeup goes bad such as lipsticks, foundations, palettes and so on. I am aware that they have information regarding this on the package but I was wondering if you really have to throw out products after that particular time span although they are in good shape. I could listen to you talk about this industry all day, I swear! You're amazing :) have a nice day

[@AngieDiB]

Hey Diana! Glad you are liking the videos! Once the makeup has been opened and used I follow what is indicated on the packaging. I often end of throwing things out earlier just because I am overly cautious about bacteria build up and I don't like to take any risks.

[@dydoosh13]

Thank you!!

[@lizbond7840]

Fab as always Angie! What would you recommend for a client with eczema on their face? Would you use the rosehip oil and embryolisse? Xx

[@AngieDiB]

You definitely could, usually with eczema I also reach for any of my Avene skin care as well! It totally depends on how bad it is, I have eczema and i've used a little of the rosehip oil and it has not been too bad!

[@lizbond7840]

Thanks Angie! Xx

[@jewelruiz3965]

Your channel is really informative! I am an aspiring MUA and I am learning a lot from you. I hope that you can have a video that tackles about how to deal with clients with acne or pimples. How should I prep it and how to cover it. :)

[@jewelruiz3965]

OMG, I feel like hyperventilating! Angie liked my comment! *fangirling. I also want to know if you have any dupes for mac studio fix powder and mac blot powder :) Actually that is my second suggestion: dupes of high-end products that aspiring MUAs (like me) can start with :)

[@AngieDiB]

I'm going to be completely honest here - In my experience dupes with some products can be a giant waste of time and money and most of the time (especially with foundations/powders/complexion prouducts) they do not preform as well on set. Learn how to work with fewer products and save your money and invest in quality products for your kit. You may be able to find something similar to Blot Powder but there is no dupe for Studio Fix that I have tried.

[@jewelruiz3965]

Noted :) Thank you for your advice :)

[@charlottechun2547]

Hi Angie, I have a follow-up question about applying the hydrating mist/oil -- can it cause silicone or water-based foundations to separate? I have very dry skin (the kind that soaks up moisture, not the dull kind) and I've been struggling with my foundation not applying smoothly or separating slightly despite trying many different application techniques. I wondered if different composition of base ingredients (e.g., silicone/oil/water) could be the problem. I know there could be lots of factors potentially causing that issue but essentially I'm wondering if adding an oil could be problematic versus if the skin is truly dry enough to soak up the oil, would that not matter? Maybe I should give hydrating mists another try instead? Thanks so much for your input -- love your videos!

[@AngieDiB]

Hey Charlotte! What you choose as your skin care (and the base of those products) can absolutely have an effect on the longevity and wear of your makeup. As we know oil and water do not mix, and this is true of oil and silicone as well! Adding an oil to the skin that is not fully absorbed can cause the issues you are having with your makeup.

[@charlottechun2547]

@@AngieDiB Hi Angie, thanks so much for the reply! For now, I will try to just layer non-oil-based hydration for my dry skin so that it won't cause problems with my silicone-based makeup. Eventually if this doesn't work, I guess I could consider using an oil-based makeup for my mostly dry (partly combination) skin. I appreciate the input. Keep up the great content!

[@valenedsouza122]

hi angie...firstly I love ur videos coz each of them are so educational and I have learnt so much as a mua that is starting out. I have a couple of questions I wanted to ask u. I am from India and most clients I deal with have acne scars and blemishes, while I do my best to conceal them after I start the powder contouring, the spots appear black behind the contoured area and doesn't look good. please advise how to tackle this. Also marketing myself was never my strong point so can you share a few tips on how and who to approach ex professionals. thanks

[@AngieDiB]

Hi Valene! I would recommend doing all your contouring with cream products before setting with powder and that should eliminate your problem. When you are marketing yourself it's all about networking and connecting with people, you need to have a portfolio you are proud of and get out there and share your work with people.

[@theindianglamoursbeauty2474]

Hey can you show how to do makeup on a person who sweats a lot ,which products to use or any tips and tricks

[@AngieDiB]

I would recommend no primer with a high pigment foundation like RCMA or Cinema Secrets. I have used Cinema Secrets for underwater shoots and it works very well.

Thanks so much for videos..!!! 😁

[@DymondsWorld]

Also I have combo skin.. very oily in my t zone and dry on my cheeks and near my mouth and aloe Vera also helps with keeping in the moisture. I usually mix it with an essential oil (sweet almond oil) or a moisturizer that is made for dryer skin because I have eczema do I need the extra moisture... and let it sit and it helps keep my skin moisturizer the whole day

[@AngieDiB]

Good luck with your fashion designs! With skin care it's totally up to you - with eczema you do need extra moisture so if it is working for you, keep doing it!

[@silviakhanmohamed181]

Embryollise is available at Target my fellow dry/combo skin beauties. I find it is a great moisturizer or primer. 😍

[@gisseloxoxo]

Silvia Khanmohamed is it still there????

[@beautyinthechaos1073]

For the person with extreme dry skin when you recommended the use of an essential oil; do you apply moisturizer first and then the oil or are you mixing the two? If you're not mixing, how are you applying the oil to the skin? Thank you! I'm obsessed with your channel!

[@AngieDiB]

Great question!!! Normally what I do is apply a moisturizer and really work it in, I let it sink in for a few minutes and then press in a small amount of the rose oil with my fingers if needed. I give it a few more seconds to settle and and then makeup goes on!

That is a great question! It totally depends on the type of skin - certain dry skins soak up the embryolisse regardless of the season. With average dry skin in the summer I may use a lighter hydrating gel - totally depends on the skin!

[@joannaf27]

thank you!!

[@ebonydee6889]

Sephora has exfoliating charcoal wipes. They are fantastic!

[@AngieDiB]

Thank you Ebony, I tried another exfoliating wipe from Sephora and I loved it so I'll have to check these ones out too!

[@anapaulacaceres3081]

Would you recommend a moisturizer or a primer if I'm using the rcma kjb palette that is wax based to oily, normal and dry skin?? I'm just starting and I really want your opinion😩❤️ your channel is amazing and so informative

[@AngieDiB]

Hi Ana! I don't like using primers of any kind for the most part. I prefer to use the appropriate skincare for my client and then apply the RCMA foundation.

[@anapaulacaceres3081]

Angie Di Battista so what moisturizers you like for rcma foundation?

[@manohwell]

Hey Angie :D Do you have any tips on how to do quick makeup/touchups on clients who already have some of their makeup on, and how to avoid disturbing that current makeup, but also maintaining your own style?

[@AngieDiB]

If I am touching up someone that already has makeup on, I don't really worry about my own style - it's too late for that lol I will normally touch up with a loose powder, lip colour and blush and not worry too much about it.

[@EstheticianEdit]

I love your videos! I've learned SO much and I'm just getting started:) thank you!

[@AngieDiB]

Thanks Samantha!!

[@alliehymas8871]

Love your videos! For dry skin, do you use a primer after moisturizer? I've been trying to find a hydrating primer for my kit.

[@AngieDiB]

Hi Allie! I very rarely use primer so i'm a bad person to ask about that LOL! I am not a fan of primer under the foundations I use in my kit, I would much rather make sure I use or layer some good moisturizing products under my foundations.

[@makeupmev]

Is there a reason for this? Why do you not use primers? I feel that the common thing is to use a primer so I'm a little surprised you don't use one!

[@AngieDiB]

Hi Mevla! I'm not one to follow the rules lol!!! I just find primer is a step that doesn't really improve my makeup application. It creates a barrier in between the makeup and skin, the makeup slides around. I prefer how makeup looks once it has settled onto the skin with no barriers in between. But do whatever works for you!

[@makeupmev]

I'll have to test this out. I guess I always followed the 'norm' because everyone says you have to use a primer, lol. Btw I just want to say I loveeee what you're doing with your channel! You are 100% right, there is definitely a lack of youtubers that focus on actual working makeup artists. Your videos are extremely helpful, so thank you for what you do!!! :)

[@silviakhanmohamed181]

Fantastic video as always! Thanks! 🌸

[@sarahcorfe958]

I know this is an old video but amazingly helpful so had to comment. Thank you x

[@julieross8753]

Ange- I was just reading your destination wedding in Italy, oh my gawd I don't know how you did it all so perfectly..I know it was a show stopper for sure. The question I have is: do you also do hair? I read & saw all the hair essentials & am wondering...by the way this was an excellent video on both counts.

[@AngieDiB]

Thanks Julie! Yes - I do hair, and did all the hair for that wedding.

[@LouwuPie]

helpful and informative as always, thanks Angie :) I've been tempted to try Avenes moisture mask for a while now, so i think i will :)

[@AngieDiB]

It's been so helpful for me!!!!

[@queendeeisawesome]

For the dry flaky skin can I use a actual exfoliation like a dermalogica micro daily exfoliate It comes in a powder form and you add water to it

[@AngieDiB]

You definitely can if you can do it hygienically, and you can keep it neat while you are working and not get water/powder everywhere or on your client.

[@queendeeisawesome]

Awesome omg omg I can’t believe you responded thank you so much Another question you said you exfoliate with your finger Could I use a mascara wand or would that be rough? Or could I use one of those textured finger gloves That go over one-two of your fingers

[@AngieDiB]

It definitely depends on where you are exfoliating and what product you are using. You could use any of those things provided you aren't doing damage to the skin. Start with the most gentle form of exfoliation and progress from there.

[@queendeeisawesome]

And the most gentle form of exfoliation is fingers? I have the dry and flaky skin that is my personal skin type so I know from personal use things I’ve use to prep my skin for makeup application but I wanted to see how does that translate to professionalism as a makeup artist

[@tarynmarie9863]

I’m sure you’ve tried it, but Huggies Baby Wipes are the absolute best for exfoliating! 😍😍😍 Love this video ! 👌🏻😊

[@AngieDiB]

Awww yes!!! Nothing I love more than a good baby wipe!!!

[@anilec91]

Dermalogica has some great exfoliation wipes😊 called daily resurfacer

[@AngieDiB]

I love those ones but they are sooo expensive to keep in my kit!

[@Bianca-rf8bq]

Hey Angie! :) Today in class I had to practice on someone who still had sunburn flakes and lots of redness that was 5 days post their sunburn. I'm wondering if there's something I can add to my kit to help with that if I face it in the future on a real job. Would you use the Avene soothing mask if you have a client that shows up somewhat sunburnt since it for flakes and redness?

[@AngieDiB]

You’d have to take it on a case by case basis. But something along those lines will help.

[@lattexlatte2889]

Love your video a ton of knowledge !!!! Thank you for sharing

[@janellehostetter1504]

What would you recommend for an bridal mua doesn't have much time to let skincare products "set" into the skin before moving on, due to time constraints/ needing to keep things moving?

[@AngieDiB]

For myself I would rather cut corners on other parts of the application in favour of skin prep. You can try suggesting your clients prep their own skin or if their skin doesn’t need much prepping at all, skip it and only do what is necessary (for example if their skin is hydrated but may need some shine control - only apply something for shine control).

[@mimi.garden87]

Try Kiko Milano PURE CLEAN SCRUB & PEEL ... exfoliating wipes

[@priscillaescobar7256]

Angie, thank you for all the informative videos, I just wanted to point out that in the US at least, the term essential oil is used for oils that are very fragrant and concentrated, they cannot be used on the skin without proper dilution (think lavender, tea trea, frankincense...). The oils you are referring to are actually carrier oils, like the rose hip, jojoba, almond. There’s a huge difference in how they are used. I’m just trying to clarify so you don’t have viewers trying to use straight lavender essential oil on their face lol

[@AngieDiB]

I hope people are smarter than that, but thank you!!!

[@priscillaescobar7256]

Lol me too, but unfortunately not always the case

[@3zzy08]

Sephora exfoliating wipes I like those

[@anushavaidyanathan]

angie this video was so helpful and it helped me deal with a on the spot crisis yesterday when i was working on my client. she had normal skin during trial but on the day she had flaky skin i quickly remembered your tips i used these techniques and exfoliated and it worked wonders. all your product recommendations are amazing. i have started using bioderma to take off surface oil , embroylise, cinema secrets spray , cinema secrets foundation all these after watching your videos. i used MODEL CO exfoliate double sided facial wipes. this has a rough texture on one side of the wipe so helpful in spot exfoliation. check that out. love you so much. love from india.

[@AngieDiB]

AMAZING! So glad to hear you were able to handle that, and the trick about removing surface oil with Bioderma - good job!!!!!! I will definitely check out those wipes!!! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@lycheezombie605]

hey angie, could you do a video for aged/mature skin (wrinkles, dark spots, etc)? it would be really helpful c: love your vids!

[@AngieDiB]

Hi Lyndsey! I have a blog post up with a few tips: theangied.wordpress.com/2017/02/24/tips-for-applying-makeup-on-mature-skin/ But I will definitely do a video with a few more tips and tricks that I use!

[@stagethree7769]

Have you tried the CURE GEL Exfoliater from Japan I heard a makeup artist say it's amazing

[@AngieDiB]

I'll have to look into that!

[@susandonoghue6894]

I love the cure gel product but find the it gets too messy when working on set. It takes a lot of water to remove all of the flakes

[@_lovelyeve_]

I'm learning so much from you! 😲🦄

[@glossyandpolished4049]

Great tips! Thanks for sharing🙂

[@AngieDiB]

Thanks for watching!

[@jenna2911]

Have you tried the KIKO exfoliating wipes? If so, how do you like them?

[@AngieDiB]

Hi Jenna! I haven't but i've heard about them from a bunch of people so i'll have to get them!

[@meenakshisaxena5214]

Amazing amazing vdo... Love you a lot...❣️
