    Thank u soo much for showing us that u do still have a little bit of texture after applying foundation!Alot of beauty influencers NEVER admit to that and there's soo many young girls and women who are self conscious about their makeup especially because they think its going to come out completely flawless like the influencers they watch and they end up soo disappointed that when they take a pic of themselves they photoshop it until it looks unrealistic.

It is so easy to be fooled by filters and lighting and put ourselves down for not looking a certain way or getting the same outcome with makeup most of these other influencers get! I am a big fan Ms. Melissa! You are a Gem among the makeup community!

My skin has changes immensely since I was I began my 20's and I still keep hearing the same advice from the same "beauty gurus" as if their own skin has not changed!

    I've wondered about the shave the face thing. I have never done it but at 52 years old I've recently started seriously considering it. Your method and reasons makes sense. I didn't start wearing makeup until my 30's when I started getting darkness under my eyes. Even then I did as little as possible because everything looked terrible! (I still barely get by.) Your tutorial makes sense through and through. Thank you!

    • @MrsMelissaM
      @MrsMelissaM  Рік тому

      Hi KellyAnn. I do have a tutorial on it that I can share too. One thing is that as you shave you blunt cut the hair, so a few days as it grows in you might feel like it's a little stiffer, but within 2 days my new hair growth is exactly like before. That's the only thing I would share that might give you pause. But truly I live the way my makeup looks when I do shave. If you have any questions at all, I'm happy to help

    Wow this is such a fantastic tutorial so many nuggets of wisdom. I use a waterproof tinted sunscreen down my neck, it's like glue and it doesn't get on clothing. One thing I've learned is that at this stage of life, a 5 minute makeup routine in a hurry, is lipstick, mascara, color correcting dark circles under the eyes, and a quick swipe of blush. If I'm going to put on Foundation, I know that's going to take some time. I no longer skip skin care, primer, foundation/tinted spf, powder and setting spray. I've learned the hard way that it's mortifying to look at your makeup at the end of the day if you skip any steps.

I felt so bad taking so long of a time to do my makeup, but the real deal takes some time to do, I see. I used to take 30 minutes and be done with the whole thing in my 20’s and 30’s. I miss those days, but I now see how to do things in my older age. Thank you so much Melissa. I would add just one thing….it takes practice, although watching you helps get it done the first time, going slowly. ❤

      I was writing her instructions down or I'll forget several steps! I ordered the priming spray, never heard of it! My face is always tacky after serums & my moisturizer. Nice to know I can blot it with tissue. My tissues all have lotion in them so I need to buy lotion free ones. All the steps seemed like a lot of work but if it works for me I'll do it. Much easier & faster in our 20s & 30s!! Imconfused on the under eye steps. I'll have to watch it again for that.

    I’m 68 now and have discovered some out of the box beauty secrets over time (like egg white masks, and tinting my moisturizer myself for homemade BB creams before they were popular. I’m not into covering my skin with foundations, though you make it look so natural and looks beautiful!
    A few years ago my 42 year old daughter asked me how I kept my skin so smooth, since hers was getting fuzzy. I laughed and admitted to shaving for about the last 25 years. I just used one of those men’s triple rotary head razors my husband had. I think they call it “epilating” these days, with some cute little girly tools, which she is ok with using. 😂

    Oh, thank you for turning off your ring light and letting us see your skin in normal light! Sometimes it feels like trying to get the same look as you do is an exercise in futility. There is no way my skin can look the same without studio lights, no matter how closely I follow your tutorials. You still look gorgeous of course, it's just more realistic and achievable. Thank you so much. You are so honest and I love you to pieces.

    So many great tips, Melissa! I agree, face shaving is essential for me. I am 62 and have been shaving my face for decades. Removal of the peach fuzz and flaky skin is key to a flawless foundation application and every single product that goes on top of it! You are always gorgeous, so glowy and radiant. Thank you for sharing techniques and opinions on products.

      I agree at near 70 you must do this. Many women deny or don’t think they have facial hair but we all do, some with bifocals may not be able to see. Get a flashlight and shine under your face behind ears towards side of cheeks to really see the fuzz. It’s there and must go to have a smooth foundation or the things you apply will stick to the hairs and is visible to everyone even if you can’t see them yourself. Great video.

      Hello there! I am 37 and starting to see fine lines on my forehead and crows feet around my eyes 😧 So I am so happy I found this video loaded with amazing tips 🙏 I have been wanting to shave my peach fuzz on my face for several years but I am sssooo scared to do it!!! Does it grow back thicker...or darker?! Does it feel like a "steel brush" when growing back in?! So many things scare me about this but I may be making a mountain out of a mole hill?! I already shave my arms and it grows back exactly the same texture and thickness as before I shaved it so maybe the face will too?!

    After buying numerous products from beauty influencers, to try and get a perfect base, I finally realized my skin just doesn’t like several diff products under my foundation. So NOW I only wash my face and put on a Hydrating primer and my foundation looks PERFECT. Same with concealer, I only put a VERY tiny amount of Cerave healing ointment under my concealer and it looks flawless. I’m so glad I finally found what works for me. Also, I love you videos!!💙💙💙💙💙

    • @MrsMelissaM
      @MrsMelissaM  Рік тому +4

      The first one is a primer spray. They usually are quite hydrating & don't have ingredients that set your makeup. They are just to get your face ready for makeup. The other was a setting spray, those usually have ingredients that help dry down any break through of makeup. I don't use one's that contain alcohol because I'm too dry already, but a lot like Urban Decay All Nighter do use alcohol.

      Hi Traci. A setting powder usually is matte & it blurs imperfections. Most times a Finishing Powder have a subtle, or not so subtle, sheen to it & it give a tiny glow.

    I’m 48 and have been struggling so much with setting my under eyes. I am constantly using a damp sponge and using a setting spray, but I now see I have been using way too much powder under my eyes first- and will now only lightly dust AFTER using a setting spray on my sponge. I am binging your page now to find product recommendations. It’s so hard to follow super young influencers when you have aging skin. My under eyes and under my chin are really hurting my feelings lately and I’m so glad I found you! I also think my skin is the same shade as yours, as is my hair, so I feel like a found a Fairy GodMother!
