TikTok Star Meredith Duxbury's 10-Minute Beauty Routine | Allure

[@paige2567]

People new to makeup who are watching, some tips: 1) you do not need this much foundation, especially if you have clear skin. If you have acne or dark spots you want to cover, use a full coverage concealer and a light layer of medium/full coverage foundation so you don’t look caked up. Remember she is using heavy lighting and filters. Everyone has texture, don’t add cake to your beautiful natural texture! 2) match your foundation to your neck and chest, NOT your face. This way you will avoid the yellow face, pink chest you see here. 3) enjoy! While there are no rules to makeup, most of what you see online is influencers selling products or trying to go viral with techniques that waste product or won’t be flattering for normal people without filters and heavy lights.

[@myloveylove123]

The wrong skin tone complexion for her completely even the bronzer was the wrong tone for her. I’m no expert but it seemed to me she had more pink in her skin she needs to find a better foundation that will match her skin complexion and a better bronzer as well. But everything you pointed out was accurate!

[@Glub2]

I’m so glad I recently got into powder foundation, I can get a good medium coverage with it and I spot conceal discoloration/acne scars first. It blurs my texture without completely covering it up so it still looks like skin and I feel like it lasts longer too. I like to set it with a dewy mist to mimic real skin even further. It also clogs my pores significantly less and I break out less often. I even have fairly dry skin but if my skincare routine is in check I have no problems with flaky texture. Absolutely no judgement to her or anyone that uses heavy liquid foundation but I wanted to put it out there for anyone who’s been looking into alternative ways to do their makeup.

[@emmaramos0]

yesss same! i have oily skin and powder foundation with some spot concealing has been a lifesaver. wearing liquid foundation feels so weird now. i have found that powder foundation doesn’t last as long on my face and i need to reapply it throughout the day, but most compacts come with a sponge and mirror so it’s not a problem. powder foundation takes like 3 steps out of my base routine

Then the “queen of complexion” comment idk sis. It certainly is a skill to apply makeup like this, at the same time it feels to me as if these girls are drawing a whole other face on themselves.

Bro you apply the foundation to your face with a brush handle because if you use fingers it can get under your nails but then you proceed to use your fingers to blend it out which could get foundation under your nails.

I will never get over how gross and cringe it is that she puts a pound of foundation on. I don’t understand the need for so much. I know in person it just looks so bad. I know it’s like her thing but it’s so gross.

[@beebee5443]

I think it’s worse that it’s so yellow rather than how much she puts on

[@Nothing-ln3pp]

Im sorry, did you buy the makeup? Is it your skin? No, so stfu. If you think its "gross" then dont watch her videos. You clearly are jealous and you clicked on the video just to come hate on soemone who looks better than you.

[@eztelle1]

she’s naturally gorgeous

[@Wilwilani]

She's using 130G Panna cotta fair with golden undertones in the Huda beauty faux filter foundation. I saw she was lighter than me and with a different undertone (more pink) I use 110N Angel food very fair with neautral under tone. The two other shades which are lighter than the one she's going for but with probably a more suitable undertone would be : 120B vanilla- fair with beigy-pink undertone Or 100B milkshake- very fair with neautral undertone They state to be more neautral but it would be more suitable as it's paler and would conceal some pinkness n not give that noticeable red neck- yellow face look. Especially if your going to be applying it full coverage like that you must get the closest match possible! You'll never find perfect but you can get close.

[@LivPelliccia-fl2ij]

She needs to get color matched because the foundation is way too yellow on her. It looks like she has a cool undertone but is using foundation for warm undertones

I know right… everyone is talking about it’s too much foundation and others shouldn’t follow her and how it’s so 2016 and how it can’t be 10 mins. So what, you are here right, still watching even though you know how much she is gonna put on. if that what she wants who are you say anything about it.

[@Error-qt4lu]

@@Chiamaka-the-great it's cus nobody needs that much foundation. If it works for her great but there are many people who are gonna watch this and try it and realise it's the worst way to actually apply foundation. I apply foundation with my fingers too cus it suits my face better but i dont put 5 pumps of foundation on my face cus it's gonna cake. It's basic logic, that much about of foundation cakes. It's not calling hating, it's called common sense. She says she does this technique to cover up her freckles but in reality there is literally better way to cover up freckles, I have seen so many people use much less product than her and still covered their freckles perfectly but again who am I to tell her how to put on her makeup, if she likes it that's on her but nobody should get influenced watching the way she puts it on. Plus people with actual skin issues are gonna ruin their skin more with that amount of foundation

This makes me wanna cry. I feel like she’s wearing an actual mask and you can’t even see the real her. Almost like she’s hiding behind it as opposed to having fun with it. I used to do this too so thats why im saying this and it’s blowing my mind and making me realize so much

[@SweetGlitter1309]

She’s so pretty!

[@staciwhite1256]

Spot concealer, all over powder to set and even out skin tone, mascara, touch of blush, eye shadow crayon for lid shadow and as bottom liner & mascara. That takes me 15 minutes, and I don’t use false lashes. And this approach lets my skin breathe and minimizes the look of wrinkles, which ALL liquid foundations and BB & CC creams and tinted moisturizers make look more prominent. I’m also 46 and appear to have no crow’s feet when I do my normal routine, and I don’t do injections of any kind. To each their own, I just like looking well groomed.

[@cookies5094]

I honestly didn’t know who she was, then I found her on Tiktok and saw all the hate :/ I personally really like the way she looks ❤️ but maybe people are right in the fact that you could use full coverage foundation in order to achieve that look, instead of a natural finish foundation and waste so much. She’s not the only one encouraging waste on TikTok tho, so I still don’t understand why people hate her so much. However, it would be nice to have more people giving a good example, nonetheless she ends up looking really good so I don’t get the shade 🕺🏻

[@fornorgorg]

Agreed! I don't follow her just came across this on KZbin. Not gonna lie I was a bit mortified when I saw the amount of pumps being used. I love full coverage and I have that exact foundation and I never use more than two pumps max, it goes a looooong way. Maybe I'm old lol but I see this kinda stuff online and I'm like hmmm I don't get it??? Lol The eye area, again, horrifying 😅 lol no hate personally against this girl but your eye area is so delicate, and it's so easy for that area to crease. When u apply SOoo much product to that area, you are asking for creases at that point, cuz it's just too much for that small area. At the end of the day, you have skin under your makeup and it's so delicate. Rubbing so much makeup in every single pore is just not good in my opinion. Again Nothing personal to this woman, i dont even know her lol but this isnt how makeup should be applied as far as I'm concerned.

[@lisaclopein5942]

i dont think its right that ppl hate her but like ik recentally she used this pot foundation and used like almost the whole container and then gives it a bad review and bashes on the product when like bruh shes using wayyyy too much to be giving it a bad review. like its not made to do that yk. but i also get that its a bad review for what shes trynna go for but idk. i have mixed emotions about her lol

@@lisaclopein5942 lol that makes no sense. Pot foundation usually goes even further than typical foundation and u should use a brush to buff it in so hopefully didn't use her hands again 😅
