Ever since I have used your foundation application technique I have not had cakey makeup! Also applying powder. No one else that I have seen on KZbin or Instagram teaches application techniques! You are amazing! Thank you so much! I hope you have an amazing day! Peace and Love ☮️❤️

[@susankovar817]

Agreed!

[@scazzle2]

Ditto! I'm learning so much from you about how to solve many of my makeup application challenges .

[@sandrajagroop9750]

As an almost 50 year old I changed my makeup techniques by looking at your videos and have been complimented by my colleagues. You are the best and hello from Trinidad and Tobago.

[@fromchaosyogalenanovack695]

Get out of my head LADY! I looked on your page last week for this very subject. You're my hero!!!

[@lindseywhalen3421]

OMG I know... The day I saw my first video by her , I was addicted to her videos. I almost feel like we are friends 🤣.... I get mad when ppl get nasty with her... I'm a broke stay at home mom who started writing down all the products she uses and makeup brushes so one by one I purchase one till I end up with them all lol... Even my teenage stepdaughter noticed how much better I look all thanks to Nina

[@daniela-brownella]

Any tips when living in hot/sunny/humid climates? Specifically when: - sunscreen needs to be worn daily - sunglasses smudge the make up in the nose area - occasional sweating when outside? Love your videos and explanations, I think my make up application has improved lots!

[@Lezahardy]

Oh yes! This Mississippi girl knows about the humidity and all you mentioned, Daniela! I can leave my house after applying my foundation and feel confident that I look nice and then one hour later in the humidity I look like I’m melting 🫠. Help needed!!!

[@luxgreen1277]

I’m in Arizona, 2nd hottest place on the planet. Agreed! Tips needed,!!

[@tiffs.200]

I cant tell you how much I needed this! You are sharing such amazing tips that I can see myself incorporating into my routine permanently. Thank you!!

[@mtolentino6396]

Thank you so much! This video is going to help a lot. I'm 52 yrs old, but I just started to use more makeup and play with it. I'm learning little by little. 😊

[@sonianegra83]

Thank you, Nina, for all your amazing tips and your time to teach us beauty tips. I have learned so much since I started watching your videos. I don't wear makeup every day, but the last time I did, I followed all your steps! Omg I got so many compliments on how beautiful my makeup was. ❤️❤️❤️

[@kaamya921]

I've recently stopped setting my face with powder. I'm in Florida but it's cool so my complexion products aren't sliding off like they'll do in the Summer. If I'm going to a event I definitely set my face. But I've found that using a finishing powder keeps my complexion looking soft. I'm definitely going to use some of your tips. 💜

[@juliethompson5301]

Thank you nina.i use heavy foundation and concealer.i suffer from rosacea.ive always found my face can look cakey .this really has helped xx

[@SuperRocketdog1]

Oh Nina I’m nearly 77and don’t think I’ve ever got my makeup right since I’ve gotten older! I’ve watched other videos with makeup for older ladies but never really liked them. This is just so much better easier to follow. Thank you thank you so so much💕💕🥰🥰👍👍👍

[@kerryroyal7489]

I used this technique last weekend....WOW! I wore it all day long early morning to late at night & it was flawless till the very end, I love love loved it ❤️

[@NinaUbhi1]

Great to hear!

[@wandah9468]

I've watched lots of makeup videos, but I always come back to you because you do a great job solving those problems. This video came at the right time on my feed! You're the best!

[@Kperera4]

Thanks Nina! Saved this one…I’ve been working your techniques for quite some time now and I just learned a new add on from this vid. Cheers!

[@christyshipley2309]

Omg I followed this tutorial step-by-step and my base looks perfect! I will do this everyday thank you so much! You are awesome and so beautiful!

[@Callmerhea]

You look flawless & your transparency within this video is truly appreciated ❤! I loved how thorough you were about the instructions. My complexion is much darker than yours but I do feel like this is a technique that can work for me too. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 overall 10/10!

[@EE_Lopez]

I love how you say there's no one way of doing things. But I have to admit...your way is sooo much better.

[@wishmewell95]

Thank you for making me stop over concealing my color correcting areas. I applied foundation this morning as if it wasn’t there and it worked

[@regroovable]

Great tutorial Nina, I particularly love that your videos are technique based and not trying to sell us more makeup ❤❤❤

[@Austin-vg7hv]

Thank you, for explaining the fine details of makeup application. It is so helpful. I feel like im in a masterclass ❤

[@karadeprano9055]

Great video! Very informative and helpful for everyone who may have a few issues with their makeup drying/caking in certain areas! Keep up the hard work and the videos coming! Thank you ❤

[@ashb5157]

You are a beautiful soul inside out Nina I so look forward to your videos and seeing what more can I learn. I never knew the importance of prepping the skin before applying make and always wondered why my skin felt so tight and dry but yet learnt so much from a great teacher. Thank you and always stay blessed 🥰

[@chantaltijssen433]

[@SueDamron]

Best tutorial I’ve seen on makeup application in steps that make perfect sense!!! I will need to buy some sponges again as I was not using them correctly as you’ve shown. Thanks for all the details of how, why and what you use to apply everything. So very helpful!!!

[@maryel6177]

Talented,beautiful and so helpful with your unique make up skills!Thank u Nina!❤️❤️✨️🙌🙌🙋‍♀️

[@yulianagonzalez2428]

You are the best Nina I enjoy your videos so much thank you for always being honest❤

[@sammylove14]

I’m excited to try this.

[@emyeu6286]

Love your techniques and how you take the time to explain. How do I make my bronzing powder not cakey? I feel like that, and powder contour makes my makeup look cakey

[@Claire_by_the_Seashore]

Loved it! Skincare is such an important part of makeup application. I think those little bits of product? I think that’s called pilling. I have probably had it happen because I have too much product on my face, but some products do it more than others. I have some products that are really low maintenance and I can slather on no biggie. Others, I have to just like stand by them to avoid the pilling. Sometimes it’s related to the product order I use. For example, two products I like to use are a Bakuchiol serum and a serum primer. If I use the Bakuchiol and at least one other product like a facial oil or thick, creamy moisturizer with SPF between it and the Serum Primer, then I don’t get pilling. But if I use use the Bakuchiol product closer to the Serum Primer I’ll get pilling for the get and it just gets worse as I try to work with my concealer or foundation. If I don’t use the Serum Primer (but do use the Bakuchiol), then no pilling. Some products make the pilling more likely or cause the pilling themselves. Either way, once the culprit of the pilling has been identified, the rest of what you’ve suggested is amazingly helpful! Edit: I forgot to say… ☕️ Our Nespresso is the best thing my husband and I have ever purchased in our 16.5 years together. Hands down. The coffee, even in espresso form, is delicious. It’s so easy to make any drink you cold possibly want- hot, cold, small, full size, any amount of milk, steamed milk, frothed milk, any sweetener preference. We are so disappointed in the coffee we get out now, we don’t bother with coffee shops. I’m not a big gadget person either. Something has to really add value to my life to be worthy of taking up my valuable counter space- mixer for baking, combo air fryer/toaster oven, knife block. Nespressos are amazing.

[@editgirl6114]

Hi I am 62 I love watching your videos you are so beautiful! Well I have dry skin and after watching this video I need to change the way I put on my foundation, I've been using Estee Lauder Double Wear for years and I have noticed some cakiness :( I started using this new concealer called HIDE I saw advertised it does cover up my dark spots but it is pretty thick! I'm going to try your technique, do you think it would work for mature skin also? I would like to see a video of you applying makeup on a mature person:))

[@LCharlotteAJ]

I wish I can see you making a video with Sysley Paris and Cle de Peau Beaute (very pricy brands). I have a similar skin tone and these products work incredibly well but I would love to see what you can do. Sysley is not too Latina toned friendly in some makeups, but with some of them work in my complexion and skin. The Tom Ford is also good for me. Tips please? 😍

[@jemmajones8430]

YESSSS!!! Thank you so much Nina, I followed this vid & took tips from your other videos and today was the first time I think ever that I didn’t have separation/cakey looking skin..and with the KVD serum foundation as well which I was struggling to get right, now I have and I absolutely love it! I cannot Thank you enough..I always enjoyed make up but get very frustrated with it when it doesn’t work how you know it should but today for the first time, I didn’t get that. Wonderful, Thank you! 🥰⭐️🥂

[@taniaordonez1953]

Thank you very much Nina, as always your tutorials are very useful… I would like to know if you can make a video for all those moms like me who, after pregnancy and sun exposure, have dark spots on their cheeks… how to cover those areas without looking caky?? sometimes it looks too much makeup on it or too dark when contouring … I hope you can help me here … thanks 🌹

[@ginagerwig1801]

Hi Nina thank you for your amazing video's they have really evolved my look. I have a question sometimes I use powder foundation when I am in a hurry or just out running errands. Can you use a damp Beauty blender with your powder foundation do you have a video on this or will this just end up being a cakey mess since its powder with a damp beautyblender thanks for all you do.❤👄💄xx

[@hun_bee]

I'm definitely trying this tomorrow 😁

[@kristin1533]

Why is it necessary to use both serum and moisturizer--and then primer? Can we skip the serum?

[@boz9929]

No, serum is only optional, however it does help retain hydration more but if you are not worrying about that then it is fine

[@gwengwen4535]

I’m so super curious if you can do this method with CC cream???

When do u apply your blush Nina

[@dibright1445]

You really are the best teacher. My problem’S are, you might want another capuchin and sorry but I can’t give you any coffee advice because I don’t drink it. Okay, I’m 61 😮it’s okay because I don’t think I’m that old. I take great care of my skin, I watch your videos while doing my foundation and yes my husband thinks I’m crazy which is okay. I can’t say what I think he is because I’ll get kicked off of utube, I’m just kidding about him not Utube. Here’s the thing, I’m ugly so maybe I’m trying too hard, but the minute I pick up the foundation my skin starts to get all wrinkly and it’s worse when it knows I’m going to look for one of the 15 powders I have. It’s not that I’m not learning from you maybe I’m a bad and old student. What am I doing WRONG? Anyone, please help me. I’ve literally tried like everything from various brands and types of foundations to various types and brands of primers. I’ve read the ingredients to see if they are compatible. I’ve mixed coconut oil with a foundation or used grape seed oil as a primer. I know I’m sounding like it’s time to return to my quarters at the nut hut when all I want is to have my foundation stop looking like I’m 150 years old. I’m not expecting it to be like I’m 30, 40 okay 50 again, but I can’t figure out what the crap I’m doing wrong except praying that the mail arrives before my husband gets home from work. I feel bad for spending his money, okay our money. I’m not employed since my precious mom passed away in February. My husband and I were her caregivers, I still didn’t get paid, but I was given so many memories and blessings to be able to help my mom. Now I’m too old for a job, who’s going to hire a lady with foundation problems from the dead. If there’s hope from someone I would be very grateful. I think my husband would too because I wouldn’t keep buying so much stuff. He actually has no idea how much I really have 🤫. Happy Holidays to everyone from the old, ugly crazy lady. ❤
