I love that your wrong side is a realistic look .. bc others are so exaggerated…

So trye

[@cydneylee6826]

That part👌🏼

[@Amqni]

Exactly why i clicked this video

[@just_peace]

Tbh I just think it's bad editing. In the video the 'right' side looks much more fresh, but yeah judging from the preview I'd also choose the 'wrong' side just because I find that kinda editing really unpleasant personally, esp with how skin texture is treated as something 'wrong' cause without it you just look like a poorly rendered 3d model or an uncanny valley makeup beauty guru, which is probably why I and some other people dislike it But just trust me if you saw two women with the 'right' and 'wrong' makeup styles it wouldn't be a hard thing to decide which look you like more

[@dustyrose6338]

for real! They just do makeup as crazily as possible and they're not actually correcting any real problems people have

[@sisvic]

1. Use moisturizer 2. Match foundation to skin tone on face 3. Don't use foundation that's expired/separating 4. Don't use dirty brushes and sponges 5. Use liquid concealer instead of thick ones 6. Blend concealer after some time with little pressure 7. Blend out harsh lines before setting powder 8. Blend concealer under eyes before applying setting powder. Press excess powder onto back of hand before applying to face 9. Apply powder contour in circular motion from where bone structure begins to where it ends 10. Use highlighters that have more of a glowy look than powdery look 11. Use setting spray that suits skin type

[@beesimone3073]

You are the BEST!!!

[@user-yx5ev3hg8e]

[@michellekershaw7479]

Also use a face primer. This can set the tone before applying foundation. Especially those with large pores or wrinkles.

[@CM-jn3wp]

What brand of setting powder was used?

[@farafne-md]

Wow thanks

No matter what technique or product I used I could not stop my concealer from creasing so I started using eyeshadow primer under my eyes underneath the concealer and it never creased the whole time I had makeup on. I was so impressed with how simple that was

[@bronwynpeverill9984]

This is honestly the best makeup advice I have ever seen - I've always struggled with applying makeup as it always turns into a mess and I had no idea why. The way you go into the details into what to do/not do and showing the difference it makes really helps. Thank you so much

[@celesteadams4833]

I had a job interview today. I haven't worn makeup in a while so I was nervous I was out of practice but I have been binge watching your videos for a while now. Can I just say my makeup has never looked as good as it did today!!! Ran into a cousin who I saw 2 weeks ago and she is convinced I went for a chemical peel or some other expensive skin treatment because she said I looked flawless. Meanwhile back at the ranch, I had chemical burns from a wax my skin didn't agree with and the hyperpigmentation left behind from probably the worst acne breakout I have had in years. How do I ever say thank you enough????

Totally agree!

[@jlkitz1775]

A Finishing spray helps to blend & meld product. A Setting spray sets it in place. Just noting the difference bc they do different things. Great video, thanks for the info 👍🏾🥳😉

[@AleJay]

This can be a bit confusing to some people because a lot of finishing sprays are also setting sprays. The finishing properties are what melds the makeup and that’s why I don’t separate the two because most of them are a 2 in 1 product. Thank you glad you enjoyed it 🤗

[@elizabethe5936]

You’re exactly right. Setting sprays usually have setting agents in their ingredients like polymers which help to lock the make up in place

[@alexislynch7417]

Crazy how the side that’s supposed to be “bad” still looks good 😭❤️✨

As someone who watched a bunch of make up tutorials in 2020 trying to learn, all of these mistakes were made in their videos because they were more exaggerated looks (I assume), seeing this has really helped me understand why the few times I wore make up it looked off, thank you so much for this, it was incredibly educational for make up ignorant people like me 😁 Side note: I didn't even know setting mists or the product you used to set the concealer existed

My greatest issue is having a combination skin, it's really hard because it changes with the weather. When I use powders I breakout and matte formula's make me itch. Anything light, liquid, oil free has done me wonders but the T zone starts to oil up after 4 hours 🙃. I think most make up hacks are either oily or dry skin.

I'm training with a guy who professionally judges beauty pageants. I'm covering his shift next week because he'll be in Texas for a pageant. I had so much creasing under my eye Tuesday. 😞 Yesterday I used no concealer to brighten my under eye and less under eye makeup. Today I'll switch up my moisturizer from Olay regenerist to coconut oil. It gives me a radiant glow. I usually don't wear makeup, but working with this man that judges beautiful women for a living has me up early searching videos for color correcting. 😩 I buy different products pretending I care and just throw them in my makeup bag never to be seen again and now I'm trying to figure it out. The day he tells me my makeup looks good 😁
