How to Reduce Bumpy, Textured Foundation for Smooth, Flawless Skin

[@RegNEl2010]

I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing your skin unfiltered and real! THANK YOU SO MUCH! You have no idea how much that means to me. My skin is extremely similar to yours, and I've gotten such bad self esteem from watching other youtubers and instagram, and I've felt so alone thinking my skin is the only one that looks like that. You are amazing! Thank you thank you and much love to you xo

[@stephanielange]

It knocks my self esteem seeing people on KZbin and Instagram with their seemingly perfect skin too. You're not alone in that! It freaks me out sometimes to bare my face on camera (especially SO up close, and in HD) but its comments like yours that make it all worth it for me! xx

[@fariwari1]

RegNEl2010 we are all human!! but I totally feel you. my skin is not terrible but it's not great either and I find myself thinking the same exact thing!! then if I'm having a good day I'm able to remind myself it's all filters and if you and I had those same filters, our skin would look that perfect as well! let's all build each other up rather than year each other down. that's why I chose to comment on you comment so that you feel built up. I hope you feel that way? that's my intention any way. 😆

[@ziinhalovesJB]

WOW! I'm blown out by this video. It takes a lot of courage to show your flaws on social media where everyone is trying to appear perfect these days. THANK YOU for being sooo real and for reminding us that we should never compare ourselves to others 💘 I'm glad you're back :) I have missed your vids like crazy!

[@sawaa2694]

I actually love that i can see your skin in hd ! so raw and i can see that you have the same problems as me ! not like most youtubers who put their camera 20 feet away from their skin smh 😒

I love you how you came forward and said pimple crust

[@BlackThorndRose]

Thank you for showing your actual skin, no one really does and it made me think that my skin texture is much worse and my pores are way larger than most people. I like you have large pores around the nose area, on the tip of the nose and surrounding areas. So I'm over here trying to "fix" my skin with all kinds of skincare products, which granted some problems can use a little help, but my pores aren't just going to disappear into thin air! I love these tips and tricks videos that you do, especially when it comes to covering skin problems and anything that has to do with hooded eyes, I've gotten such great tips from you! Thanks!👌🏼

[@kzfingerprint]

100% Agree!😃

[@brandykackley9660]

BlackThornRose127 yes yes yes to all of this! no one shows their real skin on here and it makes us think we are totally abnormal with our skin problems. wow I'm so happy she showed us her actual skin

[@BlackThorndRose]

Brandy Kackley I don't know if you follow Wayne Goss or not (he's amazing!) but he showed the difference between what his face looks like normally on camera, but as soon as he turned on his camera lighting, mostly the ring light, it hid every imperfection in an instant!

[@brandykackley9660]

BlackThornRose127 oh yes I love Wayne goss he is one of my top favs right up there with Lisa Eldridge. I totally saw that video I wish more of the beauty community were more honest with themselves and us. that is why I love them so much including Steph because they are honest.

[@BlackThorndRose]

Brandy Kackley Exactly! That's where you get the best tips and you can actually trust their recommendations. It's kind of sad that they're few and far between these days...

Thank you!!!!!! Your skin is my skin... your struggles are my struggles. I've been so discouraged lately because of it. Texture, acne, rosacea, large pores, oiliness, flakiness... holes in the foundation on my nose and cheeks... it's all here. It's awesome to know I'm not the only one with these struggles.

The brushing in trick for large pores is AMAZING! I never want to wear foundation because of how glaring my pores look when I do. You've saved my makeup life!

[@PixiiBomb]

My skin was like that when I was your age. (Actually, I just realized you're 28, so my skin was like that when I was 24 and under) I'm 32 now. The terrible texture and huge pores are gone, but have been replaced with permanent acne scars on my cheeks, which I will have until the day I die. I get hormonal acne during my period, around my chin and under my neck. I will also have that until the day I die, or if I'm lucky, it will eventually go away during menopause. The only blessing I have from this skin is that I will always look 10 years younger than I actually am.

[@RossRos]

[@emilynicolexo3354]

when i don't have foundation or any makeup on my skin doesn't have bumps, but then when i do my makeup i get these little bumps in my t zone but a lot in between my eyebrows. i don't know if it's caused by not exfoliating enough, textured skin, whiteheads, millia or some other things. so many people tell me that its different things but everything i try doesn't help. please help!!!

[@ezzyez3442]

Emily Walsberg. Try using rose water as a primer, after i wash and moisturize my skin before putting make-up on, i barely soak a cotton pad with rose water and dab it on parts of my face quickly, just lightly sweep it over your skin, anywhere that tends to flake/ look dry, my cheekbones and anywhere i wanna " glow" and highlight . then i let it set and blot off any excess with toilet paper slightly. Then apply foundation as usual and if any, lightly dust translucent powder on any oily parts of your face that get more oily if you sweat. From Colorado so my skin can get super dry if i don't do this. Hope this helps!

[@ezzyez3442]

Try switching to a bar of face soap that contains natural chamomile and aloe, this was a lifesaver for my sensitive break out prone dry skin. I also use the blue ponds cream for dry skin

[@evelynramirez323]

[@Lowwski]

[@Bianca-zd5jn]

I also had bad rosaceea breakouts. I've tried all the cosmetics and dermatocosmetics, but nothing made it better. Until one day when I just lost my faith in all beauty products. So I eneded up throwing away ALL my creams, tonics, rosaceea lotions, make up remover, etc. The only thing I accepted to put on my face was the only things I Really needed: makeup and just organic argan oil in the night before bed so I can mosturize my dry skin. After a while ( several months) it completly calmed down. At the moment I'm not even wearing any makeup anymore, which made my skin even calmer and less red. The conclusion is: it's all a vicious circle. Every beauty product no matter how expansive and how delicate it was, it had chemicals. And my face was getting red and making small pimples under the skin, because it didn't handle all the chemicals, it reacted like to an allergy. And it didn't had anything to do with what I ate. I realise the redness was because of local factors. I would never dream before to have such a calm and ok skin on my face. Of course it's not white porcelain, it will never be. But it got me rid of all the problems that rosaceea brings. So my advice is to go clean on your face: no cream, no lotion, nothing at all. Just organic argan oil that you buy from the store with natural products. You can use it as makeup remover too. Then rinse with a lot of water. I wish someone would have told me sooner. All this cosmetics and products that even your doctor gives you it's very superficial, it's not meant to really stop your rosaceea. Stop putting chemicals on your skin, because they are the ones that are making the roscaeea worse.

[@stephanielange]

I think you could be onto something here love! X

[@Bianca-zd5jn]

Also, I know how important exfoliating is for this type of skin. So don't go putting chemicals on your face for this reason either. Exfoliate 1 or 2/ week with a natural mixture, that you personally can garantee is natural. And that can happen only with organic simple food ingredients. Do a mixture of: - 1 spoon of sodium bicarbonate ( this will reglate your skin pH) - 1 spoon of cornmeal ( this will be the real exfoliater) - 1 spoon of oat bran ( this will hidratate while exfoliating) Rub this on your face to remove any dry patches, I do this especially where I have dark spots, on the nose skin, etc. Rinse very well with water. Take into consideration to do this only before going to bed because the skin will get red. The next morning you will wake up and have a wonderful clean and silk face. The effect last 1 or 2 days after the treatment, but it does clean your face. Do not be tempted to exfoliate more than 1 or maximum maximum 2 / week. Another advice: try to reduce any consuption of inflamatory foods. Try to eat/ drink as little as possible spicy foods and lower the coffee drinking. I noticed that everyone tells me how white and less red my skin is becoming especially after I do some days of coffeine break. I can't cut coffee permanently from my diet because it is healthy and it's good for low blood pressure. But I try to drink it maybe once every 4 days, or just in the weekend, as a treat. I didn't cut spicy food permanently from my diet, but I also keep it as a treat, for days when I actually crave it. Also, try to not stay too much in the sun. But in Ireland I think the sun is so much gentle with your skin, you don't have to worry :) I hope this will help you! All this advices I wrote above helped me sooo much. I got rid of my roscaeea 90% I will say. My skin is not perfect white, but I'm finally very happy with it! I can wear no makeup and not look bad! Such a great feeling!

Personally primers that say "shine free" or "pore filling" ironically do the exact opposite every time lol majority of primers don't work for me. In other comment I saw she said primers don't work for her so probably the same reason as me :)

so would it be better not to use a primer at all? I don't have her moisturizing spray so would I just use toner and like regular facial moisturizer?

[@kimlikesfreehugs]

niki91389 you can't but you can use a pore filler to help them appear smaller.

[@jenGeeJushawshee]

niki91389 You can't, pores aren't muscles, they don't get larger and smaller. You can use a pore filler and then cover it up with foundation and that looks more natural than packing your pores with foundation.

[@tanikiah7882]

niki91389 So Mario Badescu makes a product called Silver Powder that I use after a face mask and it does shrink your pores temporarily. I do it every couple of days. I also use it on my fiancé who has the biggest pores I've ever seen and it closes them right up like magic lol. But like I said, it only lasts a few days.

[@joyedwards251]

(Jen) yes you can. A fractional laser procedure can reduce your poors a lot.

[@leahmitchell7483]

niki91389 Get a mini fraxel! It's a laser treatment but it helps so much. You usually need 2-3 sessions (depending on your skin) and then after that, you can maintain with one every year or longer, depending on your skin. There are no topical products that actually shrink pores but you can buy a glycolic acid wash (20-30%) that will clear debris from the follicles, resulting in the look of smaller pores. Both help with texture and hyper-pigmentation, as well. Otherwise, just keep your skin really clean, use a witch hazel toner, and moisturize with an oil free moisturizer. Don't over wash or over exfoliate, as that will cause your skin to produce more oil, resulting in the look of larger pores.

Yes, I was wondering the same thing! I have a really similar color. It's the brand "Meet Matt Hughes" and the color is committed.

[@MoonOwl1961]

I'd love to see more videos like this one. Thanks!❤️

[@thehuntress8850]

thank you for being real about the struggles that some of us face and how to fix them. I thought that there was no hope for me.

[@lbhtrue13]

I have recently been so ill, then developed an severe allergy to plastics, my skin has been so bad and so sore. Today for the first time in months I decided to wear make up only to see parts of dry skin, flaky powder, ended up in tears as am tired of feeling a mess and trying to hide or avoid human contact. Thank you so much for your video and especially the message at the end xx

[@fareeechan]

Hatice Yildirim this comment is so old but YESS

[@bengadhadorsaf460]

i suscribed 😊 very nice honest video 👏👏👏

[@Laura____0214]

I really like seeing products used on skin that has redness and large pores like this. I skip a lot of tutorials because most girls i see on social media don't really have problematic skin. I have lots of redness so I can't make out how their routine would look on me. Thank you for sharing!

[@dpitcher1503]

LIke the comment below, thank you for not being "fake"--for showing REAL solutions/techiquies to problem skin! I'm so sick of tutorials talking about "hiding pores primers on perfect skin tell me nothing. thank you! Especially loved the techinque with the smaller brush around the nose--best tequinque ive seen in years!

[@EstherKinder]

Love you 🥰

[@cbrown1234567890]

this makeup look reminds me of a chic corpse bride a la Tim Burton :)

[@SixtySecondYoga]

"No ones skin looks plastic and airbrushed with foundation!" *Skin looks plastic and airbrushed with foundation* ???

[@kellyfenn7504]

Thank you for your honesty and your bravery for being so raw and up close and personal!! Gives me so much confidence knowing I’m not alone. Btw you are STUNNING!!!

[@ashleyfox4665]

Super helpful! Also, I love that you acknowledge that perfect looking skin isn't realistic and those with perfect looking skin aren't real!

[@xninix3]

... If you actually brush the foundation INTO your pores, don't you widen them and make it even worse? They will only get bigger.

[@HeyitsBri_]

That's where the skincare comes in

[@rama4780]

When i saw her face without make up i was like "OMG..tht skin sure needs maintenance! Oh wait.. tht skin is exactly just like my skin 😐"

[@hrybie9834]

Foundation oxidise

[@danklove14]

Adventure friends Crappy formulas do, but not all of foundations!

[@sandrakremer1102]

I have an issue with all of UD foundation oxidizing on my skin, and I hate it cause I love UD

[@kazenner1990]

Oxidizing has nothing to do with quality of a foundation. Certain skins react with the ingredients in a foundation. It is a bummer but surely not a sign of a crap foundation. It is easy to say of it is rubbish to justify why it did oxidized.

[@rhiannagordon5501]

Ka Zenner it’s because she has used a wet beauty blender to apply a waterproof foundation! If it was dry it would of gone on a lot better

[@anne-mariefett5961]

i applied my ud foundation dry and it oxidisers

[@tehschmoop]

You're awesome for being positive and REAL about people having realistic expectations of their skin. ❤️👊

[@michellemccall9393]

I would LOOOVE as many textured skin tips video's as you can make cuz I have a ton of bad acne scars and I just can not figure out how to make my face look decent no matter what I do!!!! I can't WAIT to try what you did in THIS video, though, thank you SOOO MUCH, girl!!!!

[@GodDamnPreacher]

I have to sub to you now that you've stopped using a filter. I have a lot of appreciation for you, most beauty gurus use filters and it makes me sad. love this video tho

[@stephanielange]

I've never used filter. I don't even know if it's possible on KZbin. x

[@sharleecoulton2472]

Stephanie Lange it is possible! Some KZbinrs have been called out for doing it. Wayne Goss made a video about it a lil bit ago. So wrong! Love your videos! Xx

[@tussled1]

Stephanie Lange it's a filter you have to actually purchase as a separate unit to mount on your camera lens.

[@dorotheakimario2947]

I like it

[@dxxl-]

Ehhhh... I really think she does have a filter over her camera or used a video editer filter on her computer... you don't go from bumpy flaky skin up close even after all the steps she took to flawless silky smooth skin when she has the eye makeup on. That's what a filter does, and yes KZbinrs will deny deny deny to the death

[@auntannacurry2052]

Ohhhh I cringed so hard when she filled her pores with foundation 😩😩

[@sommerburn9568]

She just uses make up to cover her pores and pimples but its just making it worse you have to actually take care of your skin

[@danklove14]

Sommer Burn That's why you look into what ingredients are in your makeup and don't run for the cheapest thing. They actually make pharmaceutical makeup products that help your skin while you wear them,, but they are mad expensive 😝

[@taqiac8360]

If u wash ur face after wearing makeup, you’d be fine

[@Abbyj19]

Girl we have the EXACT same skin! From rosacea to oily in some places and really dry in others 😩 Thank god I found you!!!

[@clarawyant8266]

oh no way!! seriously I would have NEVER guessed you had large pores!! I have large pores on the cheek area by my nose (like undereye area??) my foundation cakes or gets muggy in that spot SOOOOO quickly!! i neeed to try this!! THANKS MUCH

[@analeticia645]

Thank you so much for this!!! I have eczema all over my face and my foundation always looks patchy and flakey, but ever since I used your methods I feel so much more confident with my skin and it's become less irritating on my skin. I'm so glad I found your channel omg

[@melj1253]

Thank you for representing girls like me and you!!!! I have large pores, acne scars, and acne prone skin. Finally I feel "normal". A lot of girls that I am subscribed to seem to have flawless skin and don't look like me when it comes to skin type. Again, Finally!! Lbvs. Bless you!!!

[@Shifty005]

BRAVO!! for the last part message! You can never compare your skin to instagrammers or youtubes who use special cameras and special lightening. Lots of people getting frustrated cuz of that image of perfection they want to show.

[@ziautumn]

By far, the best textured skin video anywhere. My pores are super bad near my nose and cheek. I have tried the small brush technique that you suggest. Definitely patting motion and patience is required! It works. Nearly flawless. I should probably drink more water too! Thanks, hun!

[@kamaropayne5226]

Also, I’d like to say, you’re a bonafide GENIUS when it comes to cosmetic application that’s not run of the mill. You literally help MILLIONS of us with problematic issues, and that, m’dear, is a priceless treasure.

[@marthitagarcia9968]

The fact that you showed your true skin and true issues is making me subscribe because I have the same issues and I love your honesty plus your smokey eye in this vid is flawless 💜
