7 Surprisingly Common Makeup Mistakes That Will Ruin Your Entire Look! (Face Makeup Only)

[@yeneka713]

Your videos are so helpful! I have been an educator for 30 years, and i really appreciate how respectful you are when discussing the "mistakes" people make. I love this channel....happy holidays!

[@lisajmakeup]

Aww thank you! Yes, makeup is so personal. What makes a woman feel beautiful is what is important. :)

[@MaryEllenAfter60]

You always make perfect sense to me, Lisa. I'm looking forward to part 2. I have realized the more birthdays I have, the less makeup I wear. I still love , and wear makeup, just found that less is more these days. Blessings, and joy..MaryEllen

[@laurenjane3670]

I tend to think less is more at all ages 😊 I’m thinking healthy skin, diet, sleep make us feel fresher than “heavy” make up 😊 I love make up that feels and looks light!

[@lisajmakeup]

Oh I so love and agree with this comment Lauren :)

[@lisajmakeup]

You know I agree MaryEllen! I think of how much makeup I wore in my 20s, and I definitely find myself leaning towards a lighter look every year that passes :) Happy New Year!

This was a Great video Lisa and very helpful, it all made sense what you were saying, I’d love to see you do some makeup tutorials on more mature beauties that have those lines and texture to the skin as we age and the application on how you would apply makeup to that person to give them a lovely look, always Love your videos and tips, you’ve certainly taught me a lot over the years.

Lisa, I love your tutorial videos! It never hurts to be reminded of the basics many times over. I started following you either the middle of last year, or so, and you have taught me so much! Especially, about applying makeup in my 50s, though I have to say, your brushes made a huge difference in that area. Thank you so much for your content. ❤️

[@cparker7431]

Ohhh exciting! So many tips! Today I just tried the Loreal hyaluronic nude true match in 2-3. It's darker than expected but blends beautifully. Urban Decay "love trap lipstick is a beautiful pink. I think you'd like it. I apply my powder with a sponge, not damp and press in the skin. Works wonders for my 59 year old skin.(Makeup Forever Ultra HD) It was fun putting on makeup whole watching your video!! Happy, prosperous and healthy new year to you and the BK Beauty Team🎉🎊🥰

I like the contrasting demos of each tip.

[@danadominy5368]

Hi Lisa I think you makeup tips are spot on especially for women over 50. In your opinion what sponge gives best air brushed finish and doesn't soak up a lot of concealer on sun spots? Have a lovely day Dana

[@christinescott5002]

Ahhh, I remember the Max Factor Erace Secret Concealer in white (yikes) was very popular to use under the eyes in the early-mid 80's. Glad that trend is gone.

[@KCicerone]

Love your lipgloss in the video! Please share!

[@karlafalco9317]

Thank you for this video. Not only for its wonderful tips, but the added humor. While I find I am guilty to many of these mistakes and learned a lot from your video, it also gave me the ‘chuckles’ I so badly needed today. Just seeing you plop that powder on your face with the 107; and your facial expressions in the “wrongs” 😂😂😂. I hope it was as fun to make as it was for me to watch 🙌🏼 Thank You, Thank you 🥰

[@eringray8026]

I’m really struggling with the shade! When I match my neck I look way too pale. Even with bronzer and blush. I use a shade slightly darker than my neck and I look healthy. Anyone else have this problem?

[@janeburke147]

Yes & so I fake tan my neck or I warm the whole lot up with bronzer.I also wear 2 shades up in foundation,probably wrong but just what I do xx

[@eringray8026]

@@janeburke147 that’s a good idea. I’ll have to try the fake ran

[@suzan1mal]

I appreciate this so much! I match my foundation to my neck and sometimes the “makeup artist” thinks I’m crazy. Yes, it results in a lighter foundation, but like you, I can warm up with bronzer. My arms are ALWAYS darker than my face. I’ve always used a concealer in nearly the same shade as my foundation and didn’t get onto the super light under eye concealer train.

[@marilynhodgkinson5299]

Hi Lisa I've never worn powder before, but this morning l did pick up some L'oreal face powder just to give it a go. I will use the brush you suggested and only use where l need it. Thanks so much for sharing 💞💞

[@mariamay8474]

Great tips..Thanks for the tip on the concealers..I don't like my undereye too bright. To me, it a tad too light. I just bought a concealer that is usually in my shade but it is different brand. I have an idea now thanks to your tip on how to darken it some. My undereye is not as bright as yours but I would like it a shade deeper. Now I know how. Thanks. Love your tutorials..

Hi 👋 Bonnie how are you doing? Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

[@carrielassiter8455]

I like how this info just lays it on the line. Straight to the point and with explanations that make perfect sense. You emphasized how we are all different with varying concerns. Great recommendations for various needs. Also, showing the split screen so we can see the comparisons is so helpful, rather than you just talking about it. Good job, makeup trainer! 😃 Your style and delivery have really become professional over time on youtube. You have taken it seriously and established a brand, not just BK Beauty, but yourself as a brand and shown dedication to progressing and getting better at what you do. That breeds success.

[@lisajmakeup]

Hello my friend, great advice. I like the powder suggestion. BK Beauty #108 is my "It" brush. In another video you mentioned Danessa Myricks products. I find her Dew Highlighting balm is the perfect highlighter for mature skin. I hope you continue with these types of videos. I learn a lot from you. Thank you. I love your new hair style 😍.

[@stephaniemannion5815]

Lisa what would be good to use to minimize pores ?

[@ginnyburley9552]

Another problem of wearing cheek products with lots of shine is that, at least for me, they can make the skin on your cheeks look leathery and kind of hard. Maybe that’s because I’m an older person, but I really think that looks unflattering and regrettably fake.

[@jann3443]

You are 100% correct regarding concealer that is too light. I have recently started using a shade just a tiny lighter than my foundation and it definitely looks more youthful on me. I have 72 yr old fine lines and texture from under my eyes to my cheeks now. I like brightness but I like not emphasizing those imperfections even more! The second I saw you on this video I thought, "Lisa's top is the color of the BK Beauty brush handles!" Such a pretty burgundy.

[@ginaquinn2]

I have almost entirely stopped using foundation the older I've grown. I use skin care, primer and moisturizing products more. Little dots of Concealer on moistened skin looks so much better on me now. The thing that I find the most challenging is my lips abs the little lines there. Help!

[@asalazar0502]

Wonderful tips, Lisa. I watched your video on how to choose undertones. Very, very helpful. Since I've become postmenopausal and HRT is not an option for me, I have had to re-think all my makeup, but especially how I prep my face. I'm still not 100% happy with how I am doing it, but I'm trying. I really appreciate all that I learn from your videos. ❤

[@lisajmakeup]

I am so happy they are helpful! Thank you for watching!

[@olgaullman1937]

Thank you Lisa for this video! This has been the more realistic makeup video of mistakes we do. Most videos exaggerate the mistakes. This made me realize why I’m not happy with my makeup application. I’m struggling how to cover my melasma on the apple of my cheeks without my face looking cakey or heavy with foundation. Do you have any recommendations on how to cover without looking like I plastered foundation on?

[@olgasantiago-agirlfriendsguide]

Excellent tips!!! I remember when I attended the Grammy Awards, my friend and I went to the MAC counter for our make up and we ara left looking like clowns! They explained it was because we were going to be in front of cameras and lots of flashes. I told them I wasn't, so they cleansed my face and started all over again. What a difference!

[@lisajmakeup]

Oh no! Yeah, when I was a makeup artist I would always start light, and then build from there based on what the person wanted.. so much easier to add more than to remove and fix too much makeup

[@ldtoner]

I don’t see the link to a video about undertone that you mentioned. Did I just miss it somehow?

[@johnnycharles319]

Hi 👋 Lynda how are you doing? Happy holidays

[@crab3696]

It is always helpful to watch these because so many people go for the latest "fad" even if it looks terrible on their complexion. I think its important to enhance your features rather than make the make up the focus of attention. Specifically the use of bright blushes and highlighters to the extreme.. many folks just look clown like these days!

[@Adriana-so5jn]

thank you 😍i learned more from this video than 1000000 thousands tik toks i watched, the problem was my huge brush 😂

[@goldie4245]

I wear Mac face and body c 3 or c4 in summer. I have a yellow tone skin. No pink. I’m 65 never needed foundation. Can a powder go over Mac face and body. I do have large pores.

[@pattythesnugbug]

Sigh. Prep. I always struggle because my skin is naturally soft and nice and moisturizer feels so icky and sticky on me!!!!

[@lisajmakeup]

If your skin doesn't need it prior, or if it makes it look worse, than skip it :) Or prepping the night before or hours before so your skin has time to soak it in.

[@liwiathan]

In L'Oreal, warm is yellow and cool as pink; and in most other brands, warm is pink and cool is yellow, if they offer that even.

[@lakershaolivarez1034]

These videos are my favorite! What a great job Lisa! Thank you and can’t wait until the next video 💗

[@erindreams1790]

I tend to use a really light concealer and then go over it with whatever foundation is left on my sponge to create a gradient. I feel like it looks more natural that way. I've seen a LOT of people looking like racoon negatives because they're so WHITE all around the eye area, but their foreheads and cheekbones are nice and bronzed. It really does look a little... eek! I used to be one of those people, but I since learned that I can get away with a light concealer as long as I apply it very lightly and then go back over it with whatever foundation I happen to have left on my brush or makeup sponge. Then I just work from the lower part of the undereye upward so that it's lighter closest to the eye and gradually blends into the color of the foundation. It works super well for me.

[@rachelgibbons3447]

This question has foxed me for a long time … I am (in MAC terms) warm undertone (pink), very pale skin (NW15/17 territory)… what should I do to choose a foundation for when I fake tan? I only go upto jawline with the tan as I can’t deal with how drying it is on the face… do I choose a colour to match my tan (cool undertone I presume in Mac terms), or do I just go say 2 shades deeper of my actual skin tone? Help!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@tigre9271]

People using the wrong foundation formula is one of my pet peeves. Oily skinned people who want "glowy" skin will choose a glowy, moisterizing formula for dry or combo skin and then complain they are greasy at the end of the day. They need to stick to the correct foundation formula, then glow it up with glowy powder and highlighters. Also agree with the brightening concealer. I use a light application of full coverage concealer, let it set on its own. Then pinpoint with a thinner"pen" type concealer or brightner on strategic areas, not all over the undereye. And I don't set directly under the eyes because I know I will be dusting on a light shadow under my eyes and that will set it. I will lightly set the inner and outer corners only with a powder two shades lighter than my skintone because powder can sometimes darken when it comes into contact with moisture or oil.

[@iamscoliosisgirl]

Hi Lisa, I have the BK beauty + Angie brushes and the BK 101 foundation brush. When I emailed customer support about a foundation brush before purchasing, it was recommended I get the 101 brush. I find it doesn’t blend out the foundation super smooth. I use the It cosmetics CC cream. My damp beauty blender seems to do a better job. I’ve noticed in all your videos you always use the BK106 foundation brush. Why is that? Did I get the wrong brush???
