THE FOUNDATION HACK THAT ACTUALLY WORKS | Nikol Johnson

[@shuanaroden5226]

After the loss of my husband a decade ago I let myself go feeling that no one would ever want to look at me I have just found your program and your comments have helped me start to care again so I thank you

[@NikolJohnson]

I am sorry for your loss Shuana I am happy my videos have inspired you.

[@keirfarnum6811]

My belated condolences.

[@mariay.279]

Awww. My daughter felt the same way. She started putting makeup on again. She bot new clothes. She realized she was important too. Do it for yourself. It's ok.

[@kathiebarton9098]

Shuana, my ❤️ goes out to you for the of your husband. So glad you found Nikol who is so inspiring and brings confidence that spurs us on to embrace ourselves. I have enjoyed make up so much and feel better about myself because I look better.

[@saffloweroyl3663]

Same here, luv. I started with my first pedicure in 4 years Monday. We are entitled, yes, entitled to groom ourselves back to feeling better again.

[@julianursten6399]

I always spray my face with Rose Water just before I apply my foundation. I find that also works and gives a really smooth application. I’m 73

[@mmcjrc2000]

Thank you for this tip, I am going to try this!! ❤️. At 53 I am needing to make some changes in application….thank you.

[@dianegibbs3716]

Love Rosewater!

[@mmcjrc2000]

It works soooo wonderfully……thank you for posting this comment!!!!

[@heatherfear8500]

Yes, I do this as well.

[@MyCleverHandle]

I use rosewater too! It's the only "setting spray" that doesn't enrage my rosacea!

[@junderwood830]

Absolutely unbelievable. My eyes popped when you put the Nars in the water and again when you put it on your face from the water. What a gorgeous look! So glowing! I’m trying this one tomorrow morning. Maybe it will help this 74 year old face.

[@justicehayes4715]

It was really cool to watch. But I also was like, what in the world? She just dumped foundation in water!! Lol Crazy but it worked! Can't wait to try it.

[@lindahumes9483]

Once again, less is more, thank you!!!!!!!!!!! Sophisticated, classy but not stuffy.

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

Hysterical - “this feels illegal” 🤣🤣🤣. The look is beautiful! I’m not going to mess with the water, but I am going to try to replicate the eye look. So sophisticated!

[@kristinataddei8138]

Gosh that foundation hack is unbelievable!!!....Nicole, your skin never looked so radiant, even with the "slightly too warm" shade....and I love the monochromatic colors this season, reminds me of when I was a teenager in the 70's, and I had to look like I wasn't wearing make-up, or my mother would make me wash it off!!...love...love...love it!!!...

[@stephaniehoover2423]

Watched this and since I am going out this evening thought I would give it a try-Wow! It does feel and look hydrated and best of all - NO TRANSFER ONTO MY CLOTHING! This is just the best foundation hack. Learn something new with every video. Thank you, Nikol!

[@ThundermansThunder]

The foundation in water made it seem to just meld with your skin so that your skin just looks healthy and full of color without looking like makeup. I love the color palettes that you use with the browns, tans, creams, champagnes, etc. because it really compliments those beautiful hazel eyes, and I just love warm, chocolaty browns in general, too. Love that lip color on you, in fact, I love everything about this look! Simply gorgeous and gorgeously simple! Some of the prettiest looks come from simple routines, and it is such a pleasure, If not a bit addictive, watching you demonstrate them. I find myself watching a few every day lately, and as a man, I don't even wear makeup. There is something soothing, peaceful, and joyful for me watching the process, as it is watching any good artist create beauty with color and texture. You help to brighten my day! Thank you! 🌹🌞

[@justicehayes4715]

Awwww you're so sweet. I've never watched her before until now. She was great to watch. I o8ved her color pallet also. My fave colors.

[@ayeshafigueroa3044]

Hi Nikol.. I wanted to thank you. I recently began watching your youtube videos, and tutorials. The tutorials are great, but what makes you special, are your words. I am 56 years old and for the past few years I have been the caregiver of my parents. They both are now 89. A year ago my brother came to help me out, but a couple of months ago he fell ill, and now I care for him .as well as my parents. They all are forgetful among other things. As for me being their caregiver, I wouldn't want it any other way. But somewhere along the line, I forgot about myself. And that's where you come in. Your videos have inspired me to take just a little time for myself. I went to Walmart today and got some products. Now I will start binging on all your videos for ideas. Once again, thank you for being you.❤️

[@stephanieevans4519]

Nikol, you look beautiful as always!! I appreciate the tutorial on the monochrome look very much. I'm 70 years old and found your inspiring channel this year. Wonderful!!!

[@sharonking9862]

I agree…..I’m 75 and find her ideas so helpful‼️

[@melanyweikel5305]

Nikol, I’d really appreciate a video discussing where to apply makeup, a vanity vs a bathroom mirror, proper lighting, and etc. I love all these videos.

[@karenrose2260]

Yes, please.

[@lacreciaearl452]

I have Parkinsons so am not able to stand very long. I sit in my recliner in the living room and use a sewing light that shows up natural colors. I use a hand held magnifying glass. I can relax and take my time and enjoy putting on my makeup. 😊

[@JoFunnyOnion]

I’ve played around with this and get a good result by spraying/spritzing a foundation brush with water and then adding a couple of drops of Vichy mineral 89 plumping booster and then a few drops of foundation. I’m currently using Dior Forever matte and the finish I get with the water, Vichy and foundation is great in this hot and humid weather we are currently experiencing here in the U.K. ( Wales) at the money. It doesn’t cake or settle in pores and is lasting.

[@NikolJohnson]

Interesting great tip!

[@janedelaney4327]

I love Figure It Out and Nik-Ray. Both beautiful. I’ve become addicted to so many of Nikol’s makeup products. Bottled Blonde eyeshadow is a must have ladies.

[@lynnclendenin2988]

I’ve been putting my CC cream on the back of my hand and picking some up with my damp sponge and putting it on. It is so sheer and feels so light on my skin. A friend who is a Mary Kay consultant showed me this when she helped me with my makeup-using what I had, not pushing me to purchase her products.

[@MyCleverHandle]

I've been doing a variation of the water trick for many years. I use wet fingertips to apply my IT CC Cream, and a wetter-than-usual damp sponge to blend it around my face. When I want even lighter coverage, I use wet fingertips to apply and blend my BB Cream. I alternate between these two base products and two different tinted, mineral-based sunblocks, to act as foundations *without* primer. Then a very light dusting of BareMinerals Original loose mineral powder, well buffed in, keeps everything in place but still looking light. My rosacea moods and the day's weather usually determine which "foundation" I use.

[@karenwallshomes]

Great info! I do this but with rose water spray. However, I do it a bit of the lazy frugal way with the same results I think (so I don't lose unused product in water). I spray my face with rosewater first and mist (hydrate) really well, then take a tinted light foundation (or foundation of your choice heavy or light if you prefer) and mix it with a good pore-free primer which I place on a saucer and use either a brush or sponge and it looks not only flawless but less product but it looks very natural and your skin look very hydrated! I love the tips on this channel!

[@lrg613]

That works? I have so much difficulty with primers: they’re either too tacky or too slick. I am going to try this! Thanks!

[@Patriot1789]

I’m surprised that no one has noticed that when you mix foundation in water you are actually thinning it out. Why is it a surprise that with less foundation you’ll get less transfer?

[@karenwallshomes]

@@lrg613 it really works! Primer with foundation, if older the luminous primers are great! But the secret is spraying the face first.

[@leslieobrien4690]

I’ve been using the L’Oreal lash primer since 2003. One thing that I really appreciate about it is that removing mascara at the end of the day is easier/less messy because I’m using less mascara plus I’m not having to work the black mascara out of the base of my lashes! The mascara practically removes itself when I put the beauty pad against my eyes!!

[@casperinsight3524]

All good points just wish the lash primer was TINTED blue black, or navy blue or just black

[@kathleenardrey5094]

Great video. I have been doing the water trick with my tinted moisturizers and concealers for years! Now, at 76 years of age, people still comment on my skin. Haven't used foundations for 10-15 years. And I'm using a pale eyeshadow as a hack for both my brows and "eyeliner"! As a pale champagne blonde, hard to find correct shades that are not too dark. And, of course, my ancient Velcro or plastic rollers on a chin length bob. Love all of your tips. Thank you.

[@4katrine]

I’m a new subscriber but an older woman lol. I took your advice and bought the L’Oréal primer...omg...game changer! Why didn’t I use a primer sooner??It makes application of mascara so easy and the lashes gorgeous. Thank you 😊

[@pamelastory6046]

I recently found you on YT . I have been a teacher for several years but I was an esthetician/ makeup artist when I first got married. I am seeing how to get out of my daily rut as I watch you using your ideas, products, & techniques. I actually have been missing that profession in the last few years. I love your very straight forward approach & that you address not just young women but all who can benefit from your experience.😊

[@ladyevelynjasperofoakfores2966]

This is how I’ve done my makeup for two decades. I don’t follow trends. I just want to look like the best me and as natural as possible. Tinted moisturizer is my best friend, and I love the Shiseido Waso version. So beautiful!

I just lost my Husband, best friend and fellow tree hugger at the end of April 2022. I'm 60 and now it's time for me! I've relocated to Austin; got a personal trainer and I guess going to start wearing makeup again! I also quit coloring my hair at the start of Covid. Nikol has inspired me to look my best again Thank You!

I am sorry to hear about your husband Erin sending lots of love ❤️ 🙏🏻

[@arlenel9583]

I've recently discovered Loreal's Pro Glow foundation that rivals any high end product, and I've tried dozens and dozens. This foundation is flattering and long wearing, something I've never been able to find in a product. I usually press a one-ply tissue over the foundation after I apply it, and it barely transfers! But, today, I tried what others here mentioned, that is, combining water with foundation. I put some drops of Pro Glow on the back of my hand, and sprayed abundantly with water. I then applied it to my skin and blended with a brush then dabbed overall with a moist sponge. It was a softened, evened-out look that I loved! I used a small amount of pressed powder in some areas, and finished it all off with setting spray. As I mentioned, this is a long wearing foundation to begin with, but this gave a very softened look, IMHO.. Love your channel, Ms. Nikol!

[@Patriot1789]

What I resent is the $89 price tag for TF shadows. Less expensive shadows often work as well and are much less expensive. Women need to look at the ingredients because they will find that most shadows (and other cosmetics) are made of the same stuff. I hate feeling that I m paying for packaging and advertising.

[@eva5302]

[@MyCleverHandle]

You do know that a cellphone actually works better if you DON'T hold it against your ear like an old-style telephone receiver, don't you? A much younger colleague of mine pointed out that using your cellphone in that old way ages you faster than any makeup mistakes ever would!

I just love how your eye makeup is so simple... being a mature lady myself with hooded eyes I am limited to how I can do my eye makeup. Thank you so much / you look absolutely amazing & so I’ve just subscribed

[@Ashaliyeva]

I have slightly hooded eyes myself, and I think it’s more age related (since I don’t think I really did when I was much younger.) So I’ve had to relearn how to do my eye makeup in the last several years, and that was something I used to always feel confident in doing, lol. If you’d like some more, really good makeup tutorials for hooded eyes, Wayne Goss and Alexandra Anele are great sources! Wayne Goss in particular- he’s been my go-to makeup artist for great tips!

[@victorialamarque-blair6289]

@@Ashaliyeva thank you & as for me I’ve had totally hooded eyes all my life due to my father’s Asian blood. I used to hate it but have learned to embrace it, tho I would really like it if my eyes would be ever slightly less hooded in my mature years.

Wow, these are your colors. You look totally vibrant, just gorgeous.

[@deborahjellenburg4939]

I am 66 and I am enjoying doing an easy monochrome look to my makeup. I used to ALWAYS wear eyeliner but now that my hair is a pretty silver white eyeliner looks to hard and I am using a brown eyeshadow for my liner. Looks so much softer. The same with my eyebrows. I’ve got to try doing my eyes first as you suggest. If you fumble your eyeshadow at least you don’t have to take off/patch your foundation along with the eyeshadow. I keep trying to find your Bottled Blonde shadows but they’re usually sold out. I do like your lipstick choice on this video. Very pretty.

[@seaglasskaz6314]

I have to smile when certain looks are said to be the next big thing. I think this look is an all time classic, I've been doing it for years... I've got the perfect majic blending brush, my ring finger, works a treat....... Great look on you BTW. 🇬🇧🥰

I think it’s so important to so many women to understand that they don’t have to cover up their faces to be beautiful. As you know I also believe very strongly that foundations and concealers are one of the number one causes of acne and aging in women.

I am going to order some Nik Ray lipstick. After using "Actua Ly I Can" , I found your lipsticks glide on & improve the look of my lips. The color that is added to my 'look' is VERY appealing!!

[@Elizarge]

I actually think this works by removing the water in the foundation so what is left is the pigment and binders/ emollients. the water draws out the water and separates.

[@Lea-ce2vf]

Love it. Was bordering on buying a new foundation. I’ve got really good skin and I hate loads of coverage. Popping a little of my Dior backstage in water and popping on with a sponge gave a more translucent and smooth look. I’ll try the L’Oréal eyelash primer and see how that goes however Ive recently started tinting my eyelashes and eyebrows and it’s worked wonders for thickness and visibility as they’d started to fade (next birthday is 60). I use Schwarzkopf light blonde and leave in for a little longer - eyebrows and lashes tint up nice and dark with it - more a dark brown than jet black. So go lighter on the brow tint. Nicole perhaps you could do a session on tinting brows and lashes.

[@jacquelinehokopaura2428]

Love the look I see you did this with a tinted moisturiser would this work with normal foundation I always end up with makeup on my jacket collar. Nude colours look very flattering. I am 58 and like you embrace my grey hair. People don't realise you can carry on dying your hair but actually ages you and make you look hard. Age is just a number.

Is the foundation you used water-based or silicone-based? The majority of makeup is silicone-based, but since I use water-based, I'm just curious if it'd work the same for both. 🤔 Also, a sponge with a little hairspray, under and on top of foundation is INSANE for making it last!!!

Hi Nikol.I really like the way you did your eye makeup in this video.You always have great tips and tricks.I have a question not related to this video..I just wanted to know if you think the eye exfoliation pads would help with milia?I am finding now that my two biggest issues with my face are my very tired hooded eyes and the ever growing presence of milia.Be well and thank you!
