UPDATED Flawless Face Foundation Routine

[@QueenOfTheNorth65]

Mel, I can’t tell you what a breath of fresh air your videos are in these stressful times. Always so positive and cheerful. You’ll never know how much we viewers appreciate it, and you. ❤️

[@lacondesalatina]

So well said. THANKS for your ability in letting MRS. THOMPSON know she is appreciated. Stay safe. BLESSINGS, Latina

[@melthompson2856]

Thank you! That means A LOT ❤️❤️❤️

[@virginiadare02]

Such a beautiful clear clean look. Wish I could ask questions. Love you, dear Mel.

[@kristenpotter7100]

That Tarte Face Tape is AMAZING and holds up well with masks. I have it in three shades. It’s great for mixing with other foundations too.

[@holbrookski]

Shape tape shows every little line under my eyes. Haven’t tried face tape for this reason. 😢😢😢

[@kristenpotter7100]

@@holbrookski The foundation is so much better than the concealer. I only use the concealer to print my lids now. If you have normal/oily skin, the foundation is awesome.

[@holbrookski]

@@kristenpotter7100 I have normal to dry.

[@Mad_Madam_MiM]

I know I'm definitely going to learn a lot from this video. This is going into my favorites and I'm downloading it so I can keep watching it over and over and hopefully have flawless looking skin/ foundation routine just like you. Thanks for the wonderful tips and of course the wonderful video.

[@ellenpongoh2290]

Mel you’re so beautiful and humble person 😍

[@melthompson2856]

Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ivorypetalz]

Don't ever apologize for being 'extra', I seriously learn so much from your videos and I appreciate you showing every single step! Thank you😘

[@LMDinNC]

I started using the Becca anti fatigue and Mac skin refined zone because of you and they really do make a difference.

[@JoJoTinkRN]

This was so unbelievably informative. It’s amazing to see how you perfect your already beautiful skin/face. I’m a dry girl, so I barely use powder. However, when I see your powder application method and the gorgeous results, it makes me want to powder the ever-loving-heck out of my face. 😂 Thank you for another awesomely amazing video!! 🤗

[@mdc5432]

The BY TERRY powder is a beautiful brightening & blurring powder! And The Sonia G. Buffer Brush is Iconic...I love that brush!

[@gingerclark5064]

You are such a doll. Can’t wait to try this method out. Would also love to see you try out Nikkia Joy Cosmetic products.

[@tamrasmith1744]

I love the Nikkia Joy powder. I’m on my second one. I think it’s better than the Huda one, but everyone has their own preferences.

[@lanaesworld6976]

I love her powder and brushes. Testing out all her shadows now . Such a good small brand

[@Reneekincaid]

Yes i would too... nikkias powder is sooooo snoothing i love it as much as the Huda... its amazing

[@Jehniferj_4063]

Thanks for sharing this in depth routine!! You look absolutely flawless 😍. I'm definitely going to pick up the Sisley powder & By Terry. These techniques (buffing, etc) make such a huge difference. I've always said, technique is everything & you've got it down girl! Looking forward to the other vids. Xoxo 🤗

[@melthompson2856]

XOXOX 😍😍😍

[@shelbyanumandla7499]

I love seeing the products you’ve hit pan on. CT bronzer, NARS blush palette... then you KNOW the products were good! 😊

[@jenlauren143]

I love this foundation so much!!! It’s so beautiful 😻 Your whole face and makeup lol great! ❤️

[@MonLis76]

What a great video, thank you 😊! This the perfect time to tell you thank you for “influencing” me to the Becca Anti-fatigue. It’s been a game changer for me! 🙌🏻

[@melthompson2856]

I’m so glad 😍😍😍 I LOVE that primer 🙌🏻

[@thebeauteatalk]

Mel I was finally able to get ur Tiny Marvels palette and I am blown away like there r no words to say how incredible this palette is!!! Actually hold up yes there is lmbo! I'm not a pastel person but the pastels in this palette r like no other and will work for anyone they're so pretty. All the shades r so everyday but so rich in color just stunning colors. The metallics r like beyond anything I've ever seen seriously they mean business!! I was in awe of the duochrome shades like c'mon who wouldn't be, but the FireButts metallic shade is truly other worldly it takes my breath away! That shade captures the essence of a Firebutt in every way. Its also unexplainable the colors like to the point of being magical. I have several palettes but this one is Queen they're just so soft and extremely blendable so effortlessly easy to use its enjoyable!! If u can't tell I'm mesmerized and dumbfounded by how freakin wonderfully amazing this entire palette is every single shade/color/formula!!! I think this should be a permanent palette it deserves it and I will be so sad one day when its all gone!!! Its funny bc that 1st day when I got it I was walking around stunned and havin convos in my own head of like wow just wow this is crazy good. Sayin to myself y isn't everything made in this way. Mel u and Sydney Grace Nailed this Collab/palette a true masterpiece!!! Btw I'm so not exaggerating at all not in the slightest, its just the truth! I think everyone should buy this palette to see and feel the way shadows should be made and look, they just work!!! I know ppl say that about all kinds of palettes but I'm here to tell ya this one is in a class of its own, on another level for real!! 💯🤩😍💕🙌👍👏

[@melthompson2856]

THIS!!! Thank you so much! My spirits are officially lifted ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@emmasheppard2639]

Your skin looks so gorgeous, smooth and flawless! I really would love to try these methods that you do but I will have to try and find some similar product's bc I don't have some of them or can't afford some of them but I think with trial and error I should be able to figure it out, at least I hope bc the way your skin and make-up looks at the end result is how I try to get mine, so thank you for your tips! I can't wait to play around to make my base look better! ❤ YOU MEL! 😁

I started using the Sonia G designer pro and the cheek pro brushes for highlighter to apply it then blending it in with it and it blew my mind. I use to use other brushes for highlighter and even the larger fan Sonia G brushes for highlighter which works wonderfully as well. I'm in the process of trying to find a routine to fix the crepeyness under my eyes inner corner. Also like my visible pores and stuff on my face. Truly appreciate this video Mel!! 🤩💕

[@melthompson2856]

[@hickchicklori2278]

Thank you for doing videos using what you have and not always using new. I have more than enough makeup and only buy what truly excites me and have been looking more for samples to try instead of just buying full sizes and not using. I think youtube is going to see big changes in the next year or two and only those who can adapt will survive. Thank you for always reiterating You Dont Need This and offering multiple alternatives of things we might already have. It allows me to watch and relax without the pressure of wanting all the new. You are one of the good ones and a true gem. Love you girl!

[@tanaziegler]

Going over all the places that need it with a sponge dampened with setting spray is so key! That trick has def helped my makeup game esp when I use a bunch of powders or my skin is a little funky! So beautiful! Dont ever apologize for how u like & do ur makeup- its ur face & the end result is so stunning so people need to mind their own business & stop hating if u use more/different products than them! Great video & great explanations!❤❤

Dear God thank you so much for clarifying on the luminous/ blur stick. Girl you have no idea. I saw that and immediately started looking up videos for the luminous because I desperately need a new primer. For some reason I came back to watch again. I know you usually wear the regular one. But I got scared after I realized you didn't say the luminous kind. So THANK YOU FOR NOTICING. These clarifications make a lot of difference! I can't tell you how many times people don't bother with those details. So good job. You get an A+ for youtuber. 🙆

[@teldraathyra]

If you are still looking for the Nars Afterglow Overlust Cheek Palette it is still available on the Saks Fifth Ave. website.

[@MrsAi84]

I got the Milk blur stick ( it’s the reg one?) it’s suppose to be matte but I don’t see anything matte and I’m on the dry side and it doesn’t do anything bad so I’ve been loving it. So thank you!! My holy grail is the Estée Lauder futurist hydra foundation, and born this way concealer is my holy grail ! I love the Becca awake under eye corrector it helps so much, fenty powder in butter, hourglass ambient powders, Patrick Ta blushes, MJ tantric bronzer 🤤😍🥰 these are my base products I just love and feel good when I use 🙌🏼
