HOW TO STOP PATCHY FOUNDATION!!!!

[@Avocadootoastt]

I was literally in the middle of a breakdown because my foundation would get so patchy no matter what, but after trying this method it didn’t budge at all! Literally my savior thank you so much

[@kelc7112]

i still don’t understand how you don’t have a few million subscribers yet not even 1 million, YET. you’re truly one of the most talented beauty gurus on YT. loved this video! i’m a EL foundation lover myself. I’m scared to stray from it but i def wanna try something different out of boredom haha

[@anam3763]

I agree, she's amazing!! :)

[@bunchkrystle]

Kelli C IKR I keep telling people to check her out.

[@mariahworley4311]

Kelli C dude I literally came to the comments to say that. I’m glad someone already had!

[@adgvlog6348]

She deserve a million of subscribers ❤️ she truly talented and her work so working well ..

[@medhahita1498]

I first saw the 'powder before liquid' trick from Wayne Goss. At first I was like 'whaaaaaat' but it legit works on my oily skin!! it doesnt look good on dry skin thooo

[@makeoverbyrupali4954]

Could u plz let me knw which primer is good for oily skin or dry also

[@samantharodriguez1324]

Tried this yesterday and it totally worked for me! I was so excited bc I have super oily skin and it's a hard thing to accomplish for me haha thanks for looking out for us oily skin girls Nikkia!

[@mmcjrc2000]

I watched this video over and over, and....for the last 2 days my makeup wore for 8-hours; 8!!!!! I am normally lucky to get 3 or 4 hours; I am sooooo happy Is found this. Thank you love!!!

[@kimberlybissun265]

Listen I have tried this many times over because I've watched all your foundation tips when I first had the crisis of my foundation seperating. And let me tell you, IT WORKSS!!!

[@charitysheppard4549]

What great tips!! I have a video request. Can you explain the difference between contouring and bronzing, the difference in the colors (cool tones versus warm tones) used and different application techniques....PLEASE!!!

[@tammytrainer7606]

Charity Sheppard yes! I would love a tutorial on cool vs warm tones and how they look on different skin!

[@mazniizani7821]

Charity Sheppard agreeee !!!

[@katieguest5973]

Yes I would love Nikkia to do this!

[@jessiewolfe4547]

Sephora actually has a really good video explaining this on their KZbin channel

[@Jewels_8404]

Agree, that would be so helpful!!

[@imnetworking2k12]

I MISS THESES VIDEOS! Because, these are really gr8 for teaching make-up artistry, rather than content creators coming on camera uploading make-up tutorials and many of their viewers aren't aware of how to apply make-up at all!!!

[@MissScaryKary]

OF COURSE! The silicone primer 🤦🏼‍♀️ I feel so stupid. Thank you!

[@emmavari9530]

so was i😑

[@Steph_andthebulldogs]

right there with ya

[@beerdre]

Lol me too!

[@beerdre]

But my PORESSS!!! 😆😆😆

[@michellebrunch5935]

Me too girl!! 😭😭

[@pickledbrain]

These tips saved my life! I don’t usually wear foundation during the summer because I’m afraid of sweating it off, but this made my makeup stick to place. Not only did these tips help prevent patchy areas, but my makeup lasted much longer and still looked flawless after 8 hours. Thank you so much! 🙏

[@laurenodonnellf6267]

Omg, Nikkia, you just changed MY LIFE! I have had issues with foundation staying on my nose for like 5 years. I’ve tried everything, powder first, setting spray, moisturizing with oil, eyeshadow primer and it helped, but it still didn’t fix my problem all the way. Then I watched this video and you said don’t use silicone and/or pore filing primers which I usually do. So yesterday I didn’t use my usual primer, I just used eyeshadow primer and omg!!!! my makeup actually stayed on my nose! It didn’t even get shiny until like the 7 hour mark! Thank you SO much!

[@CheekyMissy]

I appreciate this. One thing I've been told regarding foundation that goes patchy is that your skin is dehydrated, so it's absorbing the water in the foundation and leaving behind the pigment. Sometimes you can combat patchy foundation just by applying a good moisturiser and hydrating primer - this is often a big help.

[@katiebell8530]

I know this is an older video, but I stumbled across it yesterday after getting totally fed up with my foundation on my nose and cheeks being patchy even from application. I tried all of these tricks today and I just have to say, thank you so much! Even eight hours later, after being in and out of the Florida heat and misting rain, my makeup was practically flawless! I was worried that all of those layers might make my fave feel suffocated, but I followed your instructions to go light with the products, and it was just great! Thank you!

[@nikkiajoy]

Oh lovely I am so happy to hear for you ♥️

[@shayleesummer3225]

You literally have solved all of my foundation problems! So grateful I have found an Australian KZbinr who has the same skin type as me! I love Australian KZbinrs as they often suggest / use products that are readily available or ship to Australia ☺️☺️

[@tanjadals769]

You just saved my life!! Omg 😭 I'm not new to makeup, but have never been truly satisfied with my foundation. But I look F L A W L E S S right now! 😍😭 no redness or dry spots peaking through, no patchines or flaking on my nose and no noticeable creasing around my nose. Thank you thank you thank you!! ❤❤❤

[@kirstystewart8059]

I cannot wait to try the paint pot next time I wear makeup! I brought this the other day and the girl mentioned about using this on my nose but not before foundation (I used it over top and it was horrible!!) makes more sense 🤗

[@CATfaceCutie]

This saved my make up. I live an extremely humid climate & my makeup coming off was very embarrassing. So THANK YOU this really works!!!!

[@Marskilius]

The powder after primer works like a charm for my oily t-zone! Been doing that for about a year and never going back. On night outs I wear a tinted loose powder for that extra coverage, give it a go peeps.

[@everythinggrandepop7088]

I have really bad skin texture and I'd recommend using a pore filling primer with a tacky setting spray on top of it before your foundation (e.g. TF Primed & Poreless and TF Hangover 3-in-1 spray), and then a good amount of a finely milled translucent powder and the same setting spray on top of foundation. I've found that this achieves the perfect balance of smoothness and longevity. Hope this helps!

[@anagabymontes]

Game changing trick! My skin is looking flawless and lasting longer!!

[@leyaali6697]

Nikkia you have been killing the game with these videos. I literally get so excited when you post because you’re so honest and real. Plus I actually use the tips you give I bought your setting spray and everything LOVE IT

[@jamezerella]

I'm getting married soon and my foundation always always looks horrible, just minutes after applying I'm SO EXCITED to try these before the big day!

[@sabab2799]

I love these hacks and tips videos💕 They are actually so helpful. Im living for the pink makeup which matches the background 😍

[@jessicag.3694]

I figured out a similar procedure minus the eye shadow primer after watching tons of tutorials. I wish I'd started here. Good stuff!

[@kimberlybertrand2733]

GREAT tips....I'll try this tonight. I always have problems with foundations separating/coming off the end of my nose. You're the bomb! 😘

[@Crystal-om9ms]

You're amazing and honestly I have oily skin you were the only KZbinr I watch and you help me so much

[@ksuthers]

Thank you so much! I do most of these and it saves the foundation on my nose and upper lip. With hot flashes....this has been a life saver to keep my makeup on 12+ hours a day. Thanks, Nikkia!

[@ItsSuzanR]

Kathryn Suthers Oh yes, those hot flashes are killer. I don’t end up more oily but more wet! Very wet, and makeup comes off almost completely! Help!!! Please.

[@ksuthers]

Suzan Robertson I don't blot after a hot flash. I fan my face dry, then blot. That trick has been a life saver for my make-up, along with Nikkia's tricks.

[@Maria-nn1uw]

Tried this and am obsessed! It works PERFECTLY!

[@kaitlinsiegel2590]

Dude, I was absolutely desperate to stop patching around my nose and chin, THIS WAS THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED!!!! I tried literally everything! All hail Soft orche!

[@vickyleese9064]

You’re a God send! I tried this routine this morning for work n over 12 hours later my makeup has not budged n hardly any shine at all with absolutely no touch ups etc! I’m amazed! Thank you 🙌🏻

[@stefanydemedeiros9193]

Can’t wait to try these tips and tricks !! Can you please do another video for people who deal with smile lines ! :D

[@sadtoast9736]

I love that you do a video like this every once in awhile. I believe you did one about a year ago. It changed how I applied my make up to make it last all day through work.

[@stephaniereyes1396]

Yesterday my foundation was patchy, and I thought: "I hope Nikkia does a video about patchy foundation soon." Thank you!!! 💜💜

[@AudreViniOfficial]

I'm not even kidding this video is the best. I've been trying for years and it's finally working after these tips. I watch it everyday now ahah!

[@oneshiningstar281]

Omg so glad I found this video, I have exactly the same problems as you! Luckily I have all the same products you used but just using them wrong 🙈 I’m definitely going to try this out 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@caitlynlaird1133]

The Becca primer is AMAZING for oily skin too!

[@Terraification]

So happy I found her with this. I’ve (like many others) have spent criminal amounts of money on all kinds of makeup to no avail. My tzone inevitably would start to look like a blotchy dry cakey mess. Crossing fingers this works! Just now tried this method and will see tonight after work how I look 😬

[@maddiemoo3766]

Omg I just stumbled upon your “how to stop your foundation from rubbing off your nose” video. And then this one. I never thought there would be a hack for this! I went to ulta and asked one of their “professionals” why my foundation was doing that and what I should use for primer since I thought mine was the problem. The girl tried to sell me a $90 serum and told me to stop using primer cause it wasn’t needed 😒 (I didn’t buy the serum because wtf?!). These videos are SO GREAT! I have dry af skin so every other guru tries to suggest matte primer as the cure. I can’t wait to try out this hack!! I def hit that sub button 💕

[@__ToriDavis]

Random but I love the way you say nose and forehead 😍😂

[@Sophia-xu5xd]

Victoria Denise hahahahaha sameee 😁😂😁😂

[@ThisIsWhatISay94]

Same asmr lol

[@azeraafifahmad8551]

nikkia.. can you please tech us how to contour and bronzing 101..? still can get eventho I watch your video few times... Thank You love 😍

[@salx8631]

Do a blush video , best way to wear it ,colours etc xxx

[@michelewatson1505]

I AM TRYING THIS TOMORROW!! I really hope it works bc my nose is the worst at losing my foundation! It's so frustrating!

[@MiMi-im9ke]

Just purchased slay all day using your code. I ordered the Watermelon one. I can’t wait until it gets here ❤️

[@katieragas3360]

Nikkia I have been such sucker for KZbin make up gurus for years. You STAND OUT! your videos are sooooo relevant and you tackle issues I can actually relate too as well as making tutorials with looks I would actually wear. Thank you for being different from the rest! ❤️💜🖤💛💚💙

[@pnarkocadere6909]

Nikkia, your tips for foundation have changed my life😍

[@deedeesmith0427]

I do pretty much the exact same steps in my routine! And l didn't even have to watch the vid! Great makeup minds think alike! Thank you Nikkia!

[@tiffanymichellegaming2100]

Can you do a video for tips and tricks for skin with fine lines and wrinkles? Please and thank you! 💋

[@Steph_andthebulldogs]

totally agree!! I have a few random bumps and wrinkles and I feel like I end up just emphasizing these nasty things instead of concealing them

[@hotelbravo1695]

lucy5052 I have the same issue under my eyes no matter which concealer I use, I apply under eye moisturizer before. I don't bake and use the least amount of powder. Baking makes my texture worse.

[@lisaryan7710]

MakeupByTiffany would love to see this video too.

[@dedclownsRfunny]

Why are you asking a woman in her 20s?

[@BigMamou367]

@@dedclownsRfunny why not. Make up is always advertised for young women. Unless it's for face cream or 3 in 1 Olay foundation. KZbin is full of girls showing us tips and tricks. A lot of us have lives that don't allow us to go shop at the MAC counter and Sephora all day.

[@jesscross3894]

Patchy foundation is my biggest and probably only makeup problem. I already do the powder the way you do it but I’ll try the eye primer and concealer next. Thank you again for another educational video xx 😘

[@rohvmal]

So you can't have foundation that stays AND pore filling at the same time? :(

[@katieosburn1602]

rohvmal nyx angel veil primer!!

[@butfirstlipstick93]

Pls answer!

[@emmatownsley401]

Yes! I need one to hide my pores they are so bad! 😭

[@nikkiajoy]

Aww I’m so glad I’ve been able to help you xxx

[@cjade07]

Stay outta my head!! I was thinking about this this morning... “I wonder if Nikkia has a video on patchy foundation?” 😳😂😍 sooo flipping happy thank you!!

[@____4bon4____]

NIKKIA “GOD-SEND” JOY!!!!! ❣️❣️❣️ Thanks for all of your life saving tips!!!

[@Hannah_2000K]

By far my fave KZbinr ever you’re literally the biggest life saver!! Love your eyeshadow look by the way jeeeez yaaaas😍

[@EmeryJackman]

Hi! Your tips and tricks are always amazing! And they totally work! Happy day! :)

[@cassieterryyyy]

I have extremely oily skin and my pores are HUGE. If you don’t recommend silicone based primers because they cause the patchiness, what would be best for me to use in this makeup routine to hide my pores? Thank you and love you soooo much!!!! You’ve saved me with all these oily skin videos. I always feel like the odd man out because everyone seems to have dry skin.

[@dimalin]

i find it weird because she highly recommends dr. brandt pores no more, and hourglass mineral veil primers. both of those are SUPER silicone based primers that fills your pores and gives you a velvety finish? i'm confused too because she's just contradicted herself big time, unless there's something we're missing here.

[@lovemyrainydays]

I don't think it's contracting so much as recommending different products for different tasks. She likes the pore filling primers for just that - a super smooth look that maybe doesn't need to last all day, and this video's type primer for the all day without getting patchy extra-long wear time.

[@tabatha9577]

I found this article helpful in understanding the two TYPES of silicones that you want for either dry or oily skin. www.futurederm.com/ingredient-spotlight-cyclopentasiloxane/

[@kristina1966]

Your a life saver!! I’m young and still in highschool, so I can’t exactly afford the most expensive foundation and products etc! As well as I have mostly dry skin and acne scarring (slight texture) so I wasn’t sure what was wrong! It was so frustrating to keep reapplying and have it wipe right away again! I felt like my makeup constantly looked horrible but I had felt like I tried everything! This is super helpful and I’m glad to know that other people can relate to my #everydaystruggle and I’m gonna definitely try these tricks out❤️❤️

[@hotelbravo1695]

Love these types of education video, will try power trick next time.

[@nedabaharan5491]

I actually used a similar technique for NYE and OMG it worked 🎉🎉🎉 In an older video of yours I think u had suggested to use very little setting powder and setting spray right before applying primer and then go on as u suggested in this new video, I did that and I was very happy with the result. Thank u for all ur great videos Nikkia 🙏🏼💗 with your suggestions I achieve natural looking makeup which make me feel good and confident about myself. 🌷😘

[@selallalib281]

Nikkiaaa i tried today this technique and oh my gosh😍😍i am so happy .. you are the besssstttttt on KZbin. Ly

[@chloem5445]

thank you Nikkia! you're the absolute BEST youtuber for these problems! also could you maybe try out the beauty bakerie loose powder please? I see everyone rave on about it but your opinion is the only one I trust when it comes to keeping oils under control!xxx

[@taylorbergquist2207]

this is a major problem for me!! especially because of my glasses. i always find myself coming back to your channel as i’m learning how to do my make up... do you have a video or could you suggest some great primers for oily skin with pores but also helps hold makeup in place? thanks!!

[@clairebear6958]

My oil still comes through and makes me patchy... even with these amazing tips 🙁 The struggle is real.

[@rivrox17]

Could be the products and/or how they react with one another

[@rubywarda6871]

She should have explained how to prep skin before applying anything on the face.

[@ThexGlamourweight]

Oh my gosh so I tried this out...It's a pretty amazing hack! Works so great to keep product on my nose for hours

[@nikkiajoy]

Yes 🙌 I’m so happy to hear it worked for you babe ♥️♥️

[@becca4sims]

THANK YOU!! You are such a life saver! I loved your video about covering stubborn pimples with an eye primer, which I used the MAC soft ochre paint pot. I've since tried it on the nose and other patchy areas (before watching this video) and it WORKS! A game changer! When I apply powder on top that definitely helps too. Just thought I'd share in case anyone was skeptical, these 1000% WORK! I'm gonna try setting spray in this order, because Ive been doing powder directly after foundation and it gets cakey. Don't know why I didn't think to do spray, then powder.

[@hannamccomas7436]

I have super dry skin and could not get any foundation to stick to me !!! I used aquaphor mixed with my lotion, then did the translucent powder & it WORKED OMG

[@nikkiajoy]

Oh yay!!

[@disabledbeauty]

This worked beyond well thank you

[@923Carrie]

Hi, watched ur video earlier and tried the techniques you showed and they work😊😊 foundation always comes off my nose and chin..... love ur channel xx

Thanks so much for these videos and your dedication to us.

[@leannel5542]

Love your videos as you are the only youtuber who has same problem as me wi oily skin. My make up always caking as honestly im an oily mess all time. Best primer and foundation? Drugstore not high end. U r fab xxx

[@lorrainejohnsoncoleman1670]

Good video. Those of us with texture do sometimes have this problem. I am on the hunt for the perfect primer. Haven’t tried this mac one but will. My skin so oily it doesn’t patch as much as slides or disappears

[@ItsSuzanR]

Lorraine Johnson Coleman Try the Hourglass Veil Primer it is Awesome!!!

[@maggie1984]

i have super oily skin and your videos have honestly saved my life your vids are so helpful so thank you for making them

[@chelseanorrup]

So glad you filmed this! I've been noticing lately that my foundation has been breaking apart of my chin and nose

[@beerdre]

Trying this trick for my nose tonight!!! It drives me INSANE especially this time of year when it’s freezing and runny noses are a constant battle!

[@alexernie]

You always have the best videos for tips and tricks especially on oily skin.

This just happened to me this morning! Makes sense now.. I was using the porefessional primer. Thank you for this video! So helpful :)

[@tanjai2854]

You’re great! Superb video! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jazzygrimdo]

It is like you read my mind girl. I have been having this issue but it made me go out and buy the fenty beauty foundation 😉 so I will be doing this tip for sure. I also do the eyeshadow with blush and contour like you showed us as well!

[@sandymehring3683]

Ooooo..... I love the color of your eyeshadow and lipstick!!! Thanks for the advice ❤️

[@SugaComa101]

I find it funny that I find myself watching this because I typically don't have this problem. I use the Too Faced Primed and Peachy plus the MUFE Step 1 Mattyifing primer on my t-zone. With my Fenty Beauty foundation, Gerard Cosmetics setting spray and the UD All Nighter setting spray, I stay matte for HOURS and my makeup doesn't budge.

[@thang92]

SugaComa101 oo that sounds like it would be budge proof for sure! Where do u apply the primers? Different areas or what? I'm thinking of buying some of the things you mentioned :)

[@SugaComa101]

thang92 The Too Faced primer, I use all over the face then apply the MUFE primer in the t-zone only. This has become my go to for a while now and I was shook the first time at how long I was matte and my makeup didn't budge

[@thang92]

SugaComa101 thanks for the reply I'm definitely gonna check out the some of the products and method you mentioned. Hope it works for me as well :)

[@stephaniepearce3130]

Do you have oily or dry skin?

[@heatherbybee8828]

Thank you SO much Nikkia! I went out and bought that eye shadow primer. And it has helped SO much!! After this video I realized I was using too much. Tried this today for my makeup. And it has made a HUGE difference!

[@thewanderingprosecco]

I remember watching a Makeup Geek tutorial like 10-11 years ago where Marlena said she loved her MAC paint pot so much that she just wanted to wear it “all over her face”. And here you are, doing just that. Love it.💜

[@BetterOffRed]

Omg - eyeshadow primer for the undereye? Genius!!! I have the worst time keeping my undereye area looking good!

[@whydiddiscodie94]

I just ordered the Mac paint pot. I’m gunna try these tips again and see if it works for me. Literally nothing works, which isn’t your fault. Lol I have crappy skin that doesn’t like any primer or foundation!

[@feliciamarietorre3562]

I do this with some clients but I'd never use MAC Paint pots because the 2nd ingredient is dimethicone. ✌

[@eloisahernandez4371]

WOW! Awesome tutorial!! I have oily skin on my T-Zone. I’m Definitely going to try this!

[@caseycox4125]

Great advice I'm going to try this tomorrow when I go to work

[@michellegoeshealthy]

Is there a dupe for the Mac primer I only use cruelty free makeup so I would love to know if there is something similar :) thank youuu

[@blossomnessstudios4446]

I think I figured out my issue, I use the ELF hydro-grip primer which is silicone based, but I use covergirl concealer and foundation which are both water based.

[@nikkiajoy]

Try a water based primer babe xx

Hello! Can you make a video of your nightly routine you do before going to bed? Love your channel! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@melina22807]

A while back I watched a video from Wayne Goss where he said something like....that the moisturizer u use before u apply ur primer & foundation is also important because say ur moisturizer is water based & ur foundation is oil based...water & oil don't mix & that can also contribute to foundation coming off in the day. What are ur thoughts on that?

[@janicetidwell9275]

These tips really do improve the longevity of my foundation especially with my oily skin. Thank you so so much! Man Nikkia those eyes are on point! Love

And if you haven't already I'm gonna need a tutorial on those eyes puh leeease lol

[@notoriouslee3441]

[@misslulu6903]

Finally a foundation video that is easy to understand! Will be practising these steps! 💕

[@JenHarman]

I NEED YOUR HELP!!! So two problems I have I know you said don’t pack on extra foundation but I have more I need to cover in terms of some melasma and some redness. Current foundation is Revlon colorstay tried to get the new maybelline 24 hr had to order online and came way too dark. Concealer is fitme, nyx hd translucent powder, milani prime shield primer but just switched to nyx angel veil after your best primers video. Also I’ve tried applying powder the way you suggested with a damp beauty blender and when I do it in the under eye area it gets cakey and really dry and accentuates every single fine line, darkness, gets patchy and everything and looks terrible!! I’m 38 and I have more combo skin I would say a little oily, a little dry and just have that more mature skin look than you but would love your help!! I trust your tips and need your expertise, pretty please!! Desperately want to look as flawless as possible even at my age...... :(

[@jessiesikich4047]

1. Those lashes slay! 2. Could you do a video with suggestions for middle aged ladies? The damn sponge for setting powder really ages me and too much concealer really accents my fine lines. There aren't many bloggers WITH oily skin who are also mid-late 30's, early 40's. Have already learned so much about how to deal with my oily skin. THANK YOU!!!

[@dpie0280]

No matter what products I use or how I apply them I get creasing in my nasolabial folds (mainly at the top where around my nostrils) and in the crease of my chin (see profile pic). HAAAAALLLLPPPPP!! Love your face!!
