Partly true I think… It really makes a difference in the tools you use and pairing them up with different formulas

[@femininityfaith7920]

❤ As a true dry girly, (I even have light psoriasis) and live in Florida humidity and heat! Skin prep changed my makeup game! Ever since I started doing a serious skin prep before makeup, I haven't looked "cakey" or "Creasy" at all ever since (I won't even do my makeup at all without prep), and then you can wear powder, which makes a huge difference in flawlessness and hiding lines and pores! Rotate between exfoliating wash and cream cleanser, then vit. C serum, hyrolonic acid serum and cream, eye creams, daily moisturizers, gel creams, cereve, vani cream (I use a ton of skincare from the dollar tree, that shockingly makes a huge affordable difference) Just prep till you are very hydrated with what you have on hand, let it sink in, if you're still dry then you haven't put enough, then a face sunscreen (adds to moisture and glow) hydrating primer, pore primer and before during and after all makeup a hydrating facial mist between steps. I also use a AHA which deeply exfoliates but not instantly ( over time) for dryness, (lactic acid lotion prescription) it's Gold, I use it all over body,chest,neck, face,arms, feet etc. I also have a very affordable PM skincare, prep the night before for sure when you know your doing something you want to look good for the next day! I now have had ZERO makeup issues, I use very affordable drugstore/dollar store makeup and it comes out gorgeous every time! I've also learned when choosing foundation shade: and in doubt go lighter, you can always bronze! I also shave my entire face minus brows about once a month ❤ All skincare is applied on the face,chest,arms,and hands Every time! ❤ Dark under eyes I put light foundation up to under eyes, then elf color corrector, then concealer, then loose powder, loose powder also on T-zone and a luminous powder all over when totally done! ❤Because I'm extra extra with the hydration steps, I am able to now wear anything matte as well! Everything doesn't need to be dewy!

[@meesamagill1193]

Thanks for this comment. Can you give a list of what you use before makeup application

[@crl62089]

Thanks for commenting on the lack of olive shades! I get it’s not super common, but it’s always been such a struggle. Warm foundations are still too peachy for me so I use a green color corrector to mix in. But I discovered Lisa Eldridge’s shade 9.5 is my exact winter skin color and I love finally being able to use it only in spots where I need it because it actually matches me. I’m so excited about it!

[@reneesoli5345]

Haus of labs has a shade for my olive skin

[@omomo202]

@@reneesoli5345I was JUST going to say this! My sister is green and Haus Labs is the only foundation that works for her! 🎉

[@Makeupry]

I love your tips for the olive skin tone! So few people know to mix pigments in, and I adore LA Girl for providing the color additives for so cheap. One of the biggest annoyances I have with "warm" foundations is that they have waaaaaay too much yellow in them. Not all yellow/warm tones are exactly the same level of yellow. I am slightly warm, but I have to often add in pigments to color correct for them. Or I just go neutral and add some warm bronzer or primer to my skin to make sure I don't look ghostly. I'm so particular about it on clients as well.

[@xxo8888]

I agree. I'm very warm and just got my first Mac foundation. Omg is it waaay too yellow, so I have to add a cool toned concealer. Now I also find myself leaning towards neutrals, warming up w powder or bronzer

[@crl62089]

Same here! I have the green LA girl corrector but I’m interested to try her green eyeshadow trick. My olive has no pink at all so warm foundations and a lot of “olive” shades by some brands still look peachy on me which is frustrating. Kosas and Lisa Eldridge foundations are the only true olive matches that I’ve found.

[@phina8392]

I’ve had a drawer full of brushes, sponges, even a silicone pad, nothing works like my clean warm fingers❤

[@glitterkitty1979]

Agreed

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

Yes...colour, thin/thickness of the formula, and how you apply it, does make all the difference...especially the 'tapping' into the skin with either brush or sponge, makes all the difference, getting into the skin or sitting on top and showing up all skin faults.

[@marynaim3912]

Outstanding tips Marlena, you are a true professional and teacher yet come across like an older sister helping out her little sister! Your demonstrations and techniques are so helpful! You show us not tell us! Thankyou you're the best!!! 💓

[@walkingbyfaith2885]

TY Marlena, i don't think I've ever heard a creator, influencer or ANYONE speak on the viscosity, the RIGHT tool and the whole nine yards My Nars, Mac, MUFE, foundation's are All silicone based and All this time I thought they were water based, I WAS looking at the first ingredients which is usually Aqua/ water TYFS ❤, I've been wanting to try Dior for my mature dry skin, but it really difficult for darker skin tones especially with warm, golden undertones LOVE YOU TOO PIECES 😘 ❤❤

[@phatpharm06]

11:38 this was the best advice I ever got 35ish years ago. It made such a difference in my teenage years.

[@SyKnife]

Another cause of confusion for older women is all the YT creators saying that mature skin = dry skin. No, it’s not! I still have extremely oily skin at age 62. It’s a little less oily than at 35, but not enough to wear anything but a matte foundation with an oil control primer underneath.

[@kateaye3506]

Ugh, so true! Don't get me started on the young ones recommending under eye concealers for 'mature skinned' older women. They truly have no idea, as they aren't there yet.

[@kellyross4801]

[@Tified967]

True I'm 38 & my skin now leans dry & oily in some places so I have to be careful what products I put on where. It all starts with the right skin care I believe anyway which has helped sort out my skin a lot. Jeez I still have acne at 38 & scarring.

[@onecuet]

I have the hardest time finding foundations in a medium - tan in a cool pink undertone. Cool pink shades tend to stop at light. Instead they'll offer a cool peach. It makes me look like an orange 🍊.

[@emiliebova]

I am with you there! Either too pale pink or too orange neutral.

[@louisesharpy]

I love your tips. And they are spot on. I’m so glad you are filming again !! I’m 62 and let me say this to you all. It ALL CHANGES. 😮😂😂❤ what I used to do. Nope. Ha

[@Patti-1962]

Thank you so much for talking about olive undertones. I also cannot use denatured alcohol, as it will severely dry my skin....so I must read the ingredients, especially for setting sprays. And, as someone with extremely pale skin, a lot of foundations don't make a shade light enough for me. I have discovered the white mix in product from Shop Miss A. The other thing I will do is buy an almost white concealer and add that to my foundation (my favorite is the Wet n Wild Tinted Hydrator!) The NYX Bare With Me concealer has a very light shade that I use!!

[@Magicwithizz]

Haus labs foundation and concealer goes very very light, you may find a match there!

[@jewelsbarbie]

Have you found a setting spray that you like that you would recommend?

Love the application tip of rolling the sponge with the foundation ….. i learned to do this with powder application and it makes perfect sense to do it with foundation as well 😀

[@singlehandedbeauty3581]

I have to thank you for recommending Nars Sheer Glow and Lancome Le Base Pro! I am blown away by the fact that I've actually found a primer that works for my dry, super sensitive skin. It really helps smooth out the texture created by my rosacea and extends the life of my foundation. It's a game changer in my foundation routine!

[@MarlenaStell]

Yay!!! I’m so glad it helped!! I love that combo 🙌🏼

[@deedee2455]

I always think my skin is warm so I often buy foundation with a strong yellow base. I think it's the best color for me even though if I'm honest, it's not completely right for me. Then I tried the warm foundation with an olive tint and it really blended into my skin. This might explain why I also look good in olive green. Also, thank you for explaining the difference between using a beauty blender and a brush for foundation. I didn't know it had that much of an effect.

[@justdawnr.5004]

You’re the best so far who can explain well regarding foundation..thank your for sharing your knowledge ❤️ love 💕

[@rosamoreno4794]

Marlena can you cover where to store foundations and concealers? I just found out in NOV at age 46 not to keep them up on my counter, my bathroom has a large window. I now store my foundations in my medicine cabinet with my skincare & sunscreens and my concealers in the cabinets. Also, the expire dates, throw old foundations away.

[@MarlenaStell]

I always recommend storing makeup outside the bathroom only because moisture causes formulas to break down faster or grow bacteria. Foundations should be thrown out after 2 years if it's unopened, and 1 to 1.5 year if it's opened and used

[@GemnEyes]

Oily skin person here, I have tried using a matte primer with a matte foundation, doing all the things you suggested, but my skin is so awkward! Mattes always separate on me, and yes I have tried matte primer, gel moisturiser (together and also not together) I exfoliate etc, but what's weird is that it only seems to separate more on me during winter time, summer time is fine. So during winter, which I think dehydrates my skin, I use the fenty soft matte primer, with Estee Lauder's Futurist foundation and my skin during the day is not separating or anything, it's so weird.

[@tammyhall3144]

Thank you for that !!! I am the palest shade of white and it is not easy finding a cool tone that isn't too dark. I might try to cool down a neutral shade with the blue that I need !!!

I wished you had released this video a few days ago! I have struggled to buy my foundation that I used to wear because they changed all the shades and formula. I didn’t like the new formula. It is Lancôme, Teint Idole Ultra wear. I loved the old one, and I spent money on two bottles online trying to find the correct one, which are not the same. I finally got really annoyed and emailed Lancôme and they said the replacement shade for 048 was 305N ! How on Earth would I have known that?? It’s so frustrating because this is now a kind of Matt finishing and it’s nothing compared to the previous one that was light and dew finish. I gave up, I’m going to find another brand. So annoying because that was my favourite foundation. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I will start my search based on your instructions! Thank you

[@jennifermolina4396]

I remember this from your last video about this. I love that L'oreal serum one with the dropper and used to use a sponge with it. I started using a brush with it and it looks great. I mean, that foundation always looks great, but with a brush it takes it up a notch. Thank you for your informative videos.
