I’ll add to the thank yous for bringing the camera in closer! It really does make a difference. I’m sure it feels pretty awkward, but you look great. The things we do for our art 😘
Thank you for posting! Many people post video reviews just hating the concealer, but they apply 3-5 times the amount you used and do not warm up the product. I started using the bye bye under eye concealer and love it. One small dot does my under eye and around my nose where is slightly redder. I don't use foundation just a tinted mineral sunscreen and this concealer polishes up my look without needing to buy any foundation. I also use an eye cream before application, getting dry under eyes in my late 30s.
Thank you for showcasing a powder foundation! I’m 42 and am becoming drier each year. I’m trying liquid foundations to manage dry skin which bums me out bc I love powder foundations. They are quick, touch up-able, and have been my jam for 25 plus years.
Okay how crazy is this?! I was just wondering about the It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Powder and Bye Bye Under Eyes Concealer. I will definitely be purchasing them now! Since turning 35 my skin has changed. Finding your channel has been a blessing, thank you!
Great idea to bring the camera in closer to do the video. I love watching beauty videos where we could see in detail how you are applying the products to your face. I feel that is important because some of us (like me) are not so good at applying makeup and watching you up close can really teach us application!!!!! Thanks Lisa! Really enjoying your channel! ❤️~Maria
Your skin looks so healthy and luminous even without foundation. I was one who found the It concealer to be too thick & heavy so I stopped using it. After watching your demonstration I’ll have to give it another try. I like the idea of using a brush to press it in. Thanks for the helpful video Lisa. :)
Thank you for showing how to apply the IT concealer!!! I am going to try it tomorrow 😘😘 You might want to try the DE protini cream I think you may love it! It is anti aging and I feel it's more hydrating than the B- hydra but less than the Lala cream.
I use the hydra b gel under the lala whip at night. I also use the lala as my eye cream per the DE recommendation when I emailed them about their products. Their customer service is awesome!
You look great without make up 😉 thanks for sharing so many choices to make with products......love the end result on you looks great!!!! Yes fast!!!! Thanks for sharing 🤗
Hi Lisa! I LOVE your videos. Question-do you still love the It Cosmetics powder foundation SPF 50 you used in this video? Once you apply, do you set it with anything?
Thank u for demonstrating the concealer...I've been fighting with it! along with other brands, and I keep trying this one because it gives great coverage but still not smooth. Have tried small brush, blender, and fingers. And a tiiiiny amount. Will try in the morning how you're applying it. Fingers crossed. Thanks again!
Love the “up close and personal” view! I also find powder foundation quick & easy. When I run out of my Mary Kay I will try yours. I’ve been having good luck with it and am just now branching out (@61!) to try to find a medium, build able liquid foundation as another tool in the box! Thanks for the tutorial!
Another great video Lisa! I was surprised to learn about how SPF actually works as (like most people) thought that the higher SPF number meant greater protection. So thank you for this, I have learned something new!
I have recently been getting really into drunk elephant as well. I love the La la Retro during winter, but it can be much in the Texas heat, leaving my t-zone a bit oily. I have dry and sensitive skin so the B Hydra isn't enough for me. However, they came out with the Protini, which I have been LOVING! It even provides enough hydration for these colder days we have been having.
Thank you Carolyn! I found the same thing w the B hydra gel and also found the Lala retro to be too much during hotter months. I’ll check out the Protini next time!
I am 67..good skin..and have not been wearing foundation my entire life. I just recently bought Bare Minerals products. The information on your videos has been a big help. Thanks for reminding me about hydration and sunscreen protection. I have never seen those two products anywhere in the Pacific northwest. Are they both an online company? The lala moisturizer and drunk elephant sunscreen?
I do like the closer camera so we can really see how things are applied. I just purchased the It powder makeup. I haven’t used it yet so this was great info. The amount of concealer you use is really really small but it works great. Thanks 😍
I love the IT powder foundation! Especially when traveling and only bringing a carryon I don’t have to worry about bringing a liquid foundation with me. Thanks for great tutorial!!!!!! I got the under eye cream in one of my beauty boxes this month (I think boxycharm?) now I can’t wait to try it.
I've found that a damp beauty blender under mature eyes tends to be drying for me if I bounce a few times under the eyes or use a brush under the eyes it looks awful on me. Now, if I take a really damp beauty blender to my concealer -- onto very moisturized skin, and NOT keep pouncing the concealer works and looks its best. If I keep bouncing the blender it just dries me out more. I also found that using a thicker moisturizer under the eyes makes them look icky with concealer. If I use a moisturizer that is ultra thin or oil, it must be super thin and basically soaks into the skin. Actually, I start moisturizing under my eyes as soon as I get up when I know I will be wearing makeup. It works for me.
Hi Lisa, I loved this tutorial and how close you zoomed in. It really helps a lot , plus your skin looks gorgeous with and without makeup! I have a couple questions. Does the La La Retro cream have enough moisture for dry mature skin, and is the CC foundation appropriate for dry, mature skin? Also, which colors of the concealer and foundation did you use? That would really help with color matching. Thank you for your great videos😃. ❤️💗🙏
I know this is none of my busy in this conversation. I thought I would let you know I bought the drunk elephant retro cream I always read the ingredients. It contains alcohol I did not like it. All of the drunk elephant products contain alcohol in it and I have very dry skin and sensitive skin at the same time I think if you're going to try a drunk elephant product use their maracuja oil. Even that was not enough for my skin. I have a suggestion if you want something really hydrating try the tatcha Harper rejuvenating face mask it is amazing for my skin but than again everyone's skin is different. 😊😘😊
Marie Gabaldon Hi Marie, It is ok that you replied to me. I welcome anyone’s feedback. I would not like alcohol in my moisturizer either unless it is a fatty alcohol, not Ethel alcohol or denat. alcohol. Do you mean Drunk Elephants Marula oil? I love their Marula oil, but I can’t afford the large container of it. I bought the Ordinary’s Marula oil and that one is good too.
I have the regular celebration foundation without SPF protection. It works great on dry older skin for me. I’m 46 and my skin tends to go through dry spells. I actually think my skin feels more moisturized by the end of the day. I use the application method Lisa showed by pressing it in. I use shade light in both the powder and CC cream. Medium is too dark for me. I’m not completely fair so light is a tad too light. Thankfully light works as it does self adjust a bit. I’d imagine the CC+ would perform the same as the celebration. It may be better.
Hi Kellye the Lake Retro is very hydrating and would be great for dry mature skin. I wouldn’t recommend the powder though... I would go for a hydrating liquid or cream.. a heavy powder may magnify any texture or make dry skin look flat. I’m Medium in the IT powder and Medium Tan in the concealer - hope that helps!
Lisa J Thank you for responding to my questions. I really appreciate it. I never would have guessed medium tan in the concealer because I have the light in the It Cosmetics Bye Bye undereye CC concealer with spf and it is very dark for a light color. I can only wear it with a tan.I guess I will need to go to Ulta or Sephora for a color match if I decide to pick some up. I’m still working on getting through my maracuja concealer from Tarte. I like that one and I use only a tiny, the Smallest, amount! Many people don’t like that concealer, but I do because it covers up my very dark circles, and keeps them covered all day. I haven’t even tried Shape Tape yet, but I want to.
Thank you so much for this video! I have the IT CC Powder and it swatches beautifully but always looks super powdery and cakey when I use it (I've been keeping it in my purse as a touch-up powder). I'm going to try using it this way! Also, you used to work for MAC for years, correct? Do you think you could do a video on the MAC products that you still use and recommend? Your videos are always so helpful
This was very helpful. I have been having similar issues. I did notice when I cut back on my Bye Bye product it looked less dry. Also I warm it up by rubbing it in with my fingers it looked less caked. I do think I need a thicker moisturizer to help with my IT powdered foundation in the winter. I noticed some texturing this winter that I don’t usually have in summer. So Thanks.
Hi Lisa! Do you prefer wearing a sunscreen and foundation with an SPF, or just a foundation with an SPF? Also, would you use a separate moisturizer with either preference? Thank you 🥰
Great job on the neat demo. I've been considering this IT Cosmetics compact and will now grab it. Prep looks like the key. On SPF, I'm sorry to quibble, but I'm still not sure that interpretation is clear. SPF 50 usually does contain more active ingredients than a similar SPF 30 product, although for some reason the addition doesn't improve protection much at all. That's why some docs don't care if we stop at SPF 30. Dr Sam Bunting says SPF isn't additive, either - so an SPF 50 product on top of a SPF 30 product does not give us SPF 80. It just makes it likely that we won't miss any spots. Apparently we should reapply SPF during the day if outdoors, because whether we use SPF 30 or SPF 50 we're not protected for multiple hours. Most of us don't use enough foundation to get good SPF coverage ear to ear, and we smear or sweat off most of it by midday anyway. The point is that the SPF numbers can create a false sense of security. The powder compact would be a great way to top off SPF during a bright outdoorsy day. Also it's apparently very important to look for UVA *and* UVB protection carefully on the label, because we need both components to minimize the carious types of ageing and cancer causing effects of excess sun exposure.
Thank you Sanni! Great info! I do remembering hearing that also.. that you can't really stack SPF to give more coverage or time protected. Very good info!
You're welcome, I just hope I didn't misstate what I've been told. It's a learning process, that's for sure. I'm sure there the whole sun protection strategies will change in a few years and we'll have to rethink everything, again. Thanks for your videos, I'm enjoying them!
Your skin looks beautiful. I have that foundation, but haven’t tried it over any sort of primer or cream with a sheen. You might’ve just given my powder foundations a second chance. I had been using them less as I get closer to 50. Thanks!
HI Heather! Try it with something with a bit of illumination.. I have had this powder sitting on my vanity for MONTHS... and I really love it with this combo now
Amazing how little bye bye under eye concealer was used with such full coverage. Definitely wanting the drunk elephant products. I need to try them for myself, always looking for a good face moisturizer. Maybe one month I'll squeeze them into my budget. Thanks for sharing these products 💗
Thank you! I revisited my tube of It Undereye after watching how to use it correctly and liked it much more! Also, since I live in Tampa I always welcome extra SPF so I went ahead and purchased the compact you used....I had been nervous about looking too powdery at my age (almost 70) but yay....what a pleasant surprise. I used the Elemis Marine Oil and Elemis Marine Cream moisturizer underneath and lets it sink in for a while first. Thanks for the "make sure to be well moisturized" advice. Yay! PS Have you tried the Elemis products? They are pricey and I'd love to get your feelings on if they are actually worth it. I haven't used them long enough to decide.
Hi Elaine! I have tried a few of their products. I want to say they came as deluxe samples in some beauty box I got at one point, because I have never purchased them but ended up with a travel size product of theirs and I remember liking it a lot! I'm glad you mentioned them and reminded me
Thx for zooming in , you’re gorgeous and I really enjoy your videos ! I’ve noticed a resurgence of people using powder foundations and I have to say using your tips makes me wanna try one , thx !
Thanks Lisa you are a sweetheart. I've learned a lot of things.Because when I went to Beauty School and then went on to get specializes on Doing Makeovers. Yet as the years roll arlj d we can still learn more. Because with, hair, makeup clothes everything changes a bit from time to time. That's your a sweety. ❤️❤️❤️.
Watched your video yesterday and i have all these products so i thought why not give it a try. I'm off to buy the sigma concealer brush! So quick and easy...thanks lisa!
LISA- Like i said before I ALWAYS learn something in your videos. I too, have stayed away from using my It Cos. Concealer due to the heavy weight it brings to my face. Thank You!!💜💙
This makes me tempted to buy the Drunk Elephant retro cream, those ingredients seem amazing and very effective to keep skin looking youthful! Thank you for this in-depth tutorial!
Hi Lisa, Great tutorial! The end result is luminous skin with an easy application. Ironically, I have been contemplating trying the It Cosmetics powder foundation and now, I am sold on it (no pun intended😉). What is the shade that you used? It looks like either light or medium. Can you confirm? Thank you!
I also thought that a higher SPF meant that is was a stronger level of sunscreen protection. I now know the real tea about the sunscreen numbers and what they mean. It is good to know this and everyone will think I am so smart, lol. I also want to ask about comparing liquid foundations with powder foundations. I use to always use a powder foundation Bare Minerals, but my daughter told me it didn't look as good as she thought a liquid foundation and so I switched. I feel like I do look more natural and better then the Powder Foundations. What is your favorite liquid or powder? I also want to ask if you have ever used an airbrushing tool and if you think that they work better then our brushes and sponges? I am thinking of investing in one and wanted to know what you thought about air brushing foundation first. Thank you as always Lisa, you are a rare gem!
Can you do a more in depth video on the drink elephant products? I've seen many UA-camrs use the products but never talk much about them. Thanks for the quick powder foundation look!
Thanks for your videos. I would love to see a video explaining highlighters for mature skin-//especially pores. I'm confused about when to apply liquid or cream highlighter before or after powder and which is best with mature textured skin. Thanks !
Thank you so much for explaining the SPF. I’m always trying to find the highest SPF and thought I’d have to walk around looking white all of the time. :(
Hi Lisa! I love the tinted sunscreen from DE (actually I love the whole line 😂) but as a sunscreen I apply a lot more than what you did there, I think to be really protected we need at least nickel-sized dollop! xoxo
Lisa J I love your videos and your honest reviews! I am 40 and grew up in Brazil, I used to be under the sun all the time! Anyway now I became a little paranoid with sunscreen lol 🤦🏼♀️
Great video. I love the quick & easy foundation. You have such smooth skin 😍. Question, will you review Morphe cosmetics & the best technique to concealing under eye bags with dark circles? Thank you. Cheers 😉 🌷
I love this brand and am so excited to finish watching this review! Totally random question: I am pretty sure you have natural green or hazel eyes, but do you wear colored contacts to make them more green?
Okay! I didn’t ask because of how green they appear; I only mentioned it because your eyes don’t have a lot of other colors like most natural green eyes do. It has hardly gradient :)
Do all powder foundations oxidize? And or do ALL foundations oxidize? I have yet to find one that doesnt change color after an hour or so on my skin... So I haven't used foundation much in the last 7 years, but now I would like to find one that's easy to apply and looks natural like this video shows!!
Hi Lisa! I’m New! I do not like liquid foundations as I tend to get really warm easy and I don’t like the feeling I get from them ..I don’t know what I watched recently but I saw something about powder foundations .. girl, why did I think they stopped making an all out powder foundation ?? I think I want to try some and start a nice make up routine because the older I get I feel like my skin color is so splotchy on my face and it makes me self conscious .. I’m turning 40 this year and I have never been a Makeup person but these skin changes are bugging me .. I just don’t know where to start. I loved your video ! I will be watching more ! Thank you!
Lisa J I sure will! I had hope to do some research tonight but my brain is too tired! I am heading to ulta tomorrow for a few of the 50% off products. I’m hoping they will help me at least figure out shade then I can go from there ! Can you just come to Florida and take me shopping ? Lol I have a hard time trusting people in stores because I know they are on a commission. I know they would not intentionally steer me wrong but I feel they would encourage me to purchase no matter what lol ugh send some prayers up for me lol
Have you ever tried the Alima pure liquid foundation? I love the powder but I recently bought the liquid and I'm honestly not loving it! It streaks and makes my nose look patchy! If you have tried it do you have any tips to make it look better? Or is it just not a great product? Thank you!! 😊
I ADORE bye bye under eye by IT. I cannot find anything else that compares. And I have tried. I use such a small dot then spread on each finger, getting it warm then spread it under my eyes with my fingers. I just started setting it with the IT translucent powder.
Drunk Elephant as at the 1st July 2018 have CONFIRMED that they hav NOT changed both DE Umbra Sheer standard version or and the Umbra Tinte SPF. This is via their IG instagram page. The Mica will be removed over a course of a few months and this has not commenced as yet. DE will advise their customers/followers, via their IG page once this has been completed, ie the ingredient MICA has been removed from BOTH versions of the Umbra SPF product. There is a lot of confusion regarding this. You have Umbra Tinte with the original formulation which includes the MICA INGREDIENT. You can contact DE should you have further questions, via email or IG, instagram.
Hi dear Lisa!!! First of all, thank you for the zoom in! 😉I was one of the people who asked for it. 😄Secondly, I've never tried a powder foundation, so I think I'll give it a go because I can tell your skin looks gorgeous! Greetings! 😘😘😘😘
Thank you Lisa, very useful information. I agree with you about the shimmer on the Drunk E. sunscreen. I like it, but I wish it has less shimmer on it. Love the result, your skin looks great!
Another great video, Lisa! My question is related to something entirely different. I've watched your video about lash extensions and wanted to know, when you are in the shower, do you have to prevent the water from hitting your face? I know that sounds crazy but I'm very interested in having them but not sure I can maintain the careful upkeep. Thanks!
Hi Jill... I don't really put my face directly in the shower stream.... they do get wet though.. I just don't let the water run over it. I'm use to it now and I don't feel it to be a lot of maintenance (even though I do wash my face differently) .. of course the 2 week appts are a lot to keep up with but as far as my day to day routine.. it doesn't really interfere.
I have a TON of sample size tubes of that concealer, but have never tried it. Judging by how much you recommended to use, I might have a lifetime supply. ;)
Hi Lisa, no not tried the stick but, saw it on you tube looked interesting was used as more of a concealer so just putting on areas that it was needed thought it looked good as it’s so hot here I don’t always want foundation especially in the summer. X
I love this tutorial! I think this is going to be a perfect powder foundation for the summer when I’m out and about with my son. QQ - do you set powder foundation before applying bronzer/blush/etc? Thank you! 💗
Did you put the IT powder under your eyes too? As an older sub, I have a real problem with concealer, as the skin under my eyes is so thin. I moisturize the heck out of my eyes, and still most concealers just sit there and don't absorb into the skin. I pat, not swipe, and do all the right things! The only thing that works for me is No.7 Radiant Concealer (like Touche Eclat - only less expensive!), but it doesn't last - even with a light powdering, but fortunately you can add it on top of powder and it doesn't cake.
Hi! I don't use the IT powder under my eye. I find it to be too heavy for that delicate skin.. I like to use Laura Mercier Secret brightening powder or Danessa Myricks 01 powder. .both are very lightweight . I will have to try that No7 product. Thank you!
Does it bother your eyes? The sunscreen. I have trouble with that but maybe I can buy that one. My favorite sunscreen is by Tacha but it has a hefty price and I go through them like candy.. so have tried many to try and replace but has been hard maybe I should give this one a try..
DE lala creme wasn't enough for me in the winter, needed the big guns, perricone md hypo allergenic (green jar), not that Im sensitive but the moisturising capability is wonderful. Im clearly that bit more dryer than you Lisa. The extra expense of the Perr md is absolutely warranted.
Hi Lisa! I'm in my late 20s and love following you over younger UA-camrs because your product choices and application techniques are so professional yet easy to follow and learn. You clearly know your stuff! :) I have a question unrelated to this video but I thought I'd post here since you mentioned you'd be featuring a question - would you mind doing a video on how to keep your eyeliner from smudging or falling? I love Loreal eyeliners but I"ve noticed they fall or smudge from the lower lash line by the end of the day ( in fact, even sometimes from the upper lash line on the outer corners) - I should mention I have extremely long eyelashes (thanks to genetics) and tend to laugh-cry a lot - not a bad problem to have ;) - so I really need some tips on this!!
Hi Amoha! This is such a great question! Unfortunately there can be so many variables that cause this... If ti happens on both the upper and lower.. its probably the eye liner... I would look for something waterproof. There are lots of pencils, pens and gel liners that are waterproof. If its more on the lower than the upper, it could be concealer is not setting and warming up on the skin causing it to break down the eyeliner. Is your skin on the oiler side? Or do you live in a hot climate?
Thanks for your response Lisa! My skin is definitely on the oily side. I just got married recently and my make up artist did a phenomenal job and brought out all her matte and waterproof products that took such great care of me all day :) I am actually from New Jersey so not a hot climate but I'll play around with setting my concealer better - that's a good idea. I use the Maybelline Age Rewind concealer that's so popular on UA-cam. I"ll try using a smaller brush for my loose powder for the under eye area and giving it time before I do my eyes. Thanks again and keep up the good work on youtube :) glad to hear you're full time now!
Thank you so much for this video. Do you understand what the plus signs mean in sunscreen? If you do, could you explain it? I am so confused by the +++. Thank you💕💕
Thank you, thank you for this video, Lisa! I definitely used a small amount of product, but I don’t think I’ve been blending properly or long enough. I may try to get that Sigma brush, but in the meantime I’ll try blending with a sponge. Great video! xo
Love this tutorial. I really want to try the CC+ now, lol. I have the regular celebration powder foundation. I really like it but would really love it better if it had SPF. I love how your skin looks after application. It’s gorgeous with or without 😊 Great info and tips as always.
Lisa J coverage is medium. I find it too makeup, caked on if I try to build it too much. I really like how it wears through out the day. It’s my go to on the weekends. So I’m not really wanting more than something to even out my skin.
I checked out that Layla moisturizer, and it claims to be good for dry, normal, oily, combo, and sensitive skin. I just don’t understand how that can be true. I’m glad I got a big sample of that It Cosmetics concealer in my Ipsy bag today. It will be interesting to try it out.
Lisa, loving your info filled videos! Could you please do a tutorial on how to do brows? My brows haven't grown back fully due to medication and I'm struggling to find a natural and realistic way of doing my brows. There are many tutorials on UA-cam, but I don't really like the Instagram/drag queen look for myself. I want my brows to look as natural as possible AND I need them to stay on all day! Sweat proof brows help needed! I'm particularly struggling with finding a thin enough brow brush so I can draw in individual hairs (not entire brow, but here and there). Any tips?
Hi! Have you tried the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz or the NYX Microbrow? I like both of those for a very fine thin pencil. I don't have too much experience with any brow pens, but that might be worth a try? Also, this may be more extreme than you want to do but I got microblading done (I have a video on it) and that could be an option for you?
I found your UA-cam. I’m so happy 😁. At 58 a hardly wore daily makeup, now my face is saying let’s get with the program to enhance my maturing skin and stop scaring folks 🤣😂. So new to the makeup world, I started to watch you and you’re great and I have the same combination skin. I picking up many tips. Thank you you’re fabulous 🥰
Lisa you are so pretty with your bare skin...lol. Thank you for info. I have one of the It cosmetics powder foundation love how fast it is, but can look cakey...I will try to use it with your moisturizer tips. Question...I thought the longer you wait to put foundation on the better, like 30 min. ?? How long do you recommend? Thank you
Hi Katrina! I think it really depends on the skincare you are using and how your skin absorbs it. After a few minutes my skin has absorbed most products but I still feel a little supple feel to my skin, which I prefer when applying makeup because it gives it adheres to my skin better. When my skin is bone dry makeup just looks heavier.
Thanks Lisa j!! You and Tati are my fav ladies to watch for makeup reviews with mature skin like myself I believe I’m still older than both of you lol. 37. Anyways I have combo skin living up in New England winters are harsh here so I Dry out fast my question is what do you recommend for a face wash and also a great under eye moister cream??
Thank you so much!! I love Tati as well I could watch her videos all day. lol :) For dry skin.. I think you would love the Colleen Rothschild Cleansing Balm and her eye cream is soooo good! I have only been recently trying some of her products but they are sooo good!
I'm older than you. I wish I could use powder but it always looks like powder on the skin! Can you address a way to make it look more natural on older skin? Thanks.
I’ll add to the thank yous for bringing the camera in closer! It really does make a difference. I’m sure it feels pretty awkward, but you look great. The things we do for our art 😘
Aww, thanks Heather!
Thank you for posting! Many people post video reviews just hating the concealer, but they apply 3-5 times the amount you used and do not warm up the product. I started using the bye bye under eye concealer and love it. One small dot does my under eye and around my nose where is slightly redder. I don't use foundation just a tinted mineral sunscreen and this concealer polishes up my look without needing to buy any foundation. I also use an eye cream before application, getting dry under eyes in my late 30s.
Thank you for showcasing a powder foundation! I’m 42 and am becoming drier each year. I’m trying liquid foundations to manage dry skin which bums me out bc I love powder foundations. They are quick, touch up-able, and have been my jam for 25 plus years.
My first foundation was Studio Fix by Mac! 😉
Okay how crazy is this?! I was just wondering about the It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Powder and Bye Bye Under Eyes Concealer. I will definitely be purchasing them now! Since turning 35 my skin has changed. Finding your channel has been a blessing, thank you!
Aww! Perfect timing! ;)
the founder of Drunk Elephant is so sweet. I did her makeup for an event. She has a cool story of how she created the company.
That's awesome!!! I love hearing stories like that about people :)
Hiba Zananiri what’s the story
If THAT was my barenaked face, I would be dancing in the park and singing from the rooftops. Girl, your skin is gorgeous.
lol! Thank you so much!
Great idea to bring the camera in closer to do the video. I love watching beauty videos where we could see in detail how you are applying the products to your face. I feel that is important because some of us (like me) are not so good at applying makeup and watching you up close can really teach us application!!!!! Thanks Lisa! Really enjoying your channel! ❤️~Maria
Thank you Maria! :)
Thank you for showing how to use the bye bye under eye concealer, I have had the same problem with it getting cakey, cannot wait to try it again!
HI Tammy! I hope it helps!
I bought the whole range of drunk elephant because of this review! I am obsessed with their products now. Thank you
I just purchased the IT concealer; your tutorial helped me learn how to apply. Thank you so much.
Your skin looks so healthy and luminous even without foundation. I was one who found the It concealer to be too thick & heavy so I stopped using it. After watching your demonstration I’ll have to give it another try. I like the idea of using a brush to press it in. Thanks for the helpful video Lisa. :)
I hope these tips help!
Thank you for showing how to apply the IT concealer!!! I am going to try it tomorrow 😘😘 You might want to try the DE protini cream I think you may love it! It is anti aging and I feel it's more hydrating than the B- hydra but less than the Lala cream.
Thank you! Yes, I want to try this! Someone else said the same thing. :)
I use the hydra b gel under the lala whip at night. I also use the lala as my eye cream per the DE recommendation when I emailed them about their products. Their customer service is awesome!
Thumbs up for the zoom 👍🏻 And great job on the tutorial 😊 Thank you 😊
Thanks Michelle! ;)
Exactly what I needed to know about iT concealers, your videos are clear and professional
Thank you Jan!
I’d love to see suggestions on how to maximize lower lashes. Mine are sparse and uneven and very hard to apply mascara to. Thanks!
Our skin is so beautiful you don't even need foundation! 💜
Thank you Jennifer!
Hi Jen
You look great without make up 😉 thanks for sharing so many choices to make with products......love the end result on you looks great!!!! Yes fast!!!!
Thanks for sharing 🤗
Hi Lisa! I LOVE your videos. Question-do you still love the It Cosmetics powder foundation SPF 50 you used in this video? Once you apply, do you set it with anything?
Thank u for demonstrating the concealer...I've been fighting with it! along with other brands, and I keep trying this one because it gives great coverage but still not smooth. Have tried small brush, blender, and fingers. And a tiiiiny amount. Will try in the morning how you're applying it. Fingers crossed. Thanks again!
I hope it helps Carissa!
Love the “up close and personal” view! I also find powder foundation quick & easy. When I run out of my Mary Kay I will try yours. I’ve been having good luck with it and am just now branching out (@61!) to try to find a medium, build able liquid foundation as another tool in the box! Thanks for the tutorial!
Another great video Lisa! I was surprised to learn about how SPF actually works as (like most people) thought that the higher SPF number meant greater protection. So thank you for this, I have learned something new!
So happy it helped you Paula! Thank you :)
I have recently been getting really into drunk elephant as well. I love the La la Retro during winter, but it can be much in the Texas heat, leaving my t-zone a bit oily. I have dry and sensitive skin so the B Hydra isn't enough for me. However, they came out with the Protini, which I have been LOVING! It even provides enough hydration for these colder days we have been having.
Thank you Carolyn! I found the same thing w the B hydra gel and also found the Lala retro to be too much during hotter months. I’ll check out the Protini next time!
I am 67..good skin..and have not been wearing foundation my entire life. I just recently bought Bare Minerals products. The information on your videos has been a big help. Thanks for reminding me about hydration and sunscreen protection. I have never seen those two products anywhere in the Pacific northwest. Are they both an online company? The lala moisturizer and drunk elephant sunscreen?
I do like the closer camera so we can really see how things are applied. I just purchased the It powder makeup. I haven’t used it yet so this was great info. The amount of concealer you use is really really small but it works great. Thanks 😍
Thank you so much Sue! Would love to hear what you think about it! :)
I love the IT powder foundation! Especially when traveling and only bringing a carryon I don’t have to worry about bringing a liquid foundation with me. Thanks for great tutorial!!!!!! I got the under eye cream in one of my beauty boxes this month (I think boxycharm?) now I can’t wait to try it.
Many Japanese and Korean brands have great foundation powders (loose and pressed) that are SPF 50 (ish) and PA +++
MrEmichan could you please suggest a few Japanese powder foundation with spf .
Could you tell me the names? Thanks 🤗
MrEmichan do recommend one w olive tones ?
I've found that a damp beauty blender under mature eyes tends to be drying for me if I bounce a few times under the eyes or use a brush under the eyes it looks awful on me. Now, if I take a really damp beauty blender to my concealer -- onto very moisturized skin, and NOT keep pouncing the concealer works and looks its best. If I keep bouncing the blender it just dries me out more. I also found that using a thicker moisturizer under the eyes makes them look icky with concealer. If I use a moisturizer that is ultra thin or oil, it must be super thin and basically soaks into the skin. Actually, I start moisturizing under my eyes as soon as I get up when I know I will be wearing makeup. It works for me.
I'm going to try my IT concealer again, thanks Lisa, and your looking flawless
Thank you so much Tina!
Hi Lisa, I loved this tutorial and how close you zoomed in. It really helps a lot , plus your skin looks gorgeous with and without makeup! I have a couple questions. Does the La La Retro cream have enough moisture for dry mature skin, and is the CC foundation appropriate for dry, mature skin? Also, which colors of the concealer and foundation did you use? That would really help with color matching. Thank you for your great videos😃. ❤️💗🙏
I know this is none of my busy in this conversation. I thought I would let you know I bought the drunk elephant retro cream I always read the ingredients. It contains alcohol I did not like it. All of the drunk elephant products contain alcohol in it and I have very dry skin and sensitive skin at the same time I think if you're going to try a drunk elephant product use their maracuja oil. Even that was not enough for my skin. I have a suggestion if you want something really hydrating try the tatcha Harper rejuvenating face mask it is amazing for my skin but than again everyone's skin is different. 😊😘😊
Marie Gabaldon Hi Marie, It is ok that you replied to me. I welcome anyone’s feedback. I would not like alcohol in my moisturizer either unless it is a fatty alcohol, not Ethel alcohol or denat. alcohol. Do you mean Drunk Elephants Marula oil? I love their Marula oil, but I can’t afford the large container of it. I bought the Ordinary’s Marula oil and that one is good too.
I have the regular celebration foundation without SPF protection. It works great on dry older skin for me. I’m 46 and my skin tends to go through dry spells. I actually think my skin feels more moisturized by the end of the day. I use the application method Lisa showed by pressing it in. I use shade light in both the powder and CC cream. Medium is too dark for me. I’m not completely fair so light is a tad too light. Thankfully light works as it does self adjust a bit. I’d imagine the CC+ would perform the same as the celebration. It may be better.
Hi Kellye the Lake Retro is very hydrating and would be great for dry mature skin. I wouldn’t recommend the powder though... I would go for a hydrating liquid or cream.. a heavy powder may magnify any texture or make dry skin look flat. I’m Medium in the IT powder and Medium Tan in the concealer - hope that helps!
Lisa J Thank you for responding to my questions. I really appreciate it. I never would have guessed medium tan in the concealer because I have the light in the It Cosmetics Bye Bye undereye CC concealer with spf and it is very dark for a light color. I can only wear it with a tan.I guess I will need to go to Ulta or Sephora for a color match if I decide to pick some up. I’m still working on getting through my maracuja concealer from Tarte. I like that one and I use only a tiny, the Smallest, amount! Many people don’t like that concealer, but I do because it covers up my very dark circles, and keeps them covered all day. I haven’t even tried Shape Tape yet, but I want to.
Thank you so much for this video! I have the IT CC Powder and it swatches beautifully but always looks super powdery and cakey when I use it (I've been keeping it in my purse as a touch-up powder). I'm going to try using it this way! Also, you used to work for MAC for years, correct? Do you think you could do a video on the MAC products that you still use and recommend? Your videos are always so helpful
Oh I love that idea! Thank you! I am adding it to my list! LOVE this one!!!
This was very helpful. I have been having similar issues. I did notice when I cut back on my Bye Bye product it looked less dry. Also I warm it up by rubbing it in with my fingers it looked less caked. I do think I need a thicker moisturizer to help with my IT powdered foundation in the winter. I noticed some texturing this winter that I don’t usually have in summer. So Thanks.
Hi Lisa! Do you prefer wearing a sunscreen and foundation with an SPF, or just a foundation with an SPF? Also, would you use a separate moisturizer with either preference? Thank you 🥰
I enjoy watching you apply the products and talk about the brushes
Thank you so much Joyce!
Great job on the neat demo. I've been considering this IT Cosmetics compact and will now grab it. Prep looks like the key.
On SPF, I'm sorry to quibble, but I'm still not sure that interpretation is clear. SPF 50 usually does contain more active ingredients than a similar SPF 30 product, although for some reason the addition doesn't improve protection much at all. That's why some docs don't care if we stop at SPF 30.
Dr Sam Bunting says SPF isn't additive, either - so an SPF 50 product on top of a SPF 30 product does not give us SPF 80. It just makes it likely that we won't miss any spots.
Apparently we should reapply SPF during the day if outdoors, because whether we use SPF 30 or SPF 50 we're not protected for multiple hours. Most of us don't use enough foundation to get good SPF coverage ear to ear, and we smear or sweat off most of it by midday anyway. The point is that the SPF numbers can create a false sense of security.
The powder compact would be a great way to top off SPF during a bright outdoorsy day.
Also it's apparently very important to look for UVA *and* UVB protection carefully on the label, because we need both components to minimize the carious types of ageing and cancer causing effects of excess sun exposure.
Thank you Sanni! Great info! I do remembering hearing that also.. that you can't really stack SPF to give more coverage or time protected. Very good info!
You're welcome, I just hope I didn't misstate what I've been told. It's a learning process, that's for sure. I'm sure there the whole sun protection strategies will change in a few years and we'll have to rethink everything, again. Thanks for your videos, I'm enjoying them!
Your skin looks beautiful. I have that foundation, but haven’t tried it over any sort of primer or cream with a sheen. You might’ve just given my powder foundations a second chance. I had been using them less as I get closer to 50. Thanks!
HI Heather! Try it with something with a bit of illumination.. I have had this powder sitting on my vanity for MONTHS... and I really love it with this combo now
Amazing how little bye bye under eye concealer was used with such full coverage. Definitely wanting the drunk elephant products. I need to try them for myself, always looking for a good face moisturizer. Maybe one month I'll squeeze them into my budget. Thanks for sharing these products 💗
Thank you so much Michele! :)
The tip of a pencil for reference. I love this concealer
Thank you! I revisited my tube of It Undereye after watching how to use it correctly and liked it much more! Also, since I live in Tampa I always welcome extra SPF so I went ahead and purchased the compact you used....I had been nervous about looking too powdery at my age (almost 70) but yay....what a pleasant surprise. I used the Elemis Marine Oil and Elemis Marine Cream moisturizer underneath and lets it sink in for a while first. Thanks for the "make sure to be well moisturized" advice. Yay! PS Have you tried the Elemis products? They are pricey and I'd love to get your feelings on if they are actually worth it. I haven't used them long enough to decide.
Hi Elaine! I have tried a few of their products. I want to say they came as deluxe samples in some beauty box I got at one point, because I have never purchased them but ended up with a travel size product of theirs and I remember liking it a lot! I'm glad you mentioned them and reminded me
Your skin is flawless!
Your skin looks so pretty even without makeup. I love the content on your channel. TYSM
Awww thanks Lizzie!
You should have a 2-3 min video for each one of your brushes. How to use it. Where to use etc. Thank You!
Thx for zooming in , you’re gorgeous and I really enjoy your videos ! I’ve noticed a resurgence of people using powder foundations and I have to say using your tips makes me wanna try one , thx !
Thank you so much Lisa :)
The It Celebration foundation is very good. It does not look dry or cakey.
Thanks Shar!
Thanks Lisa you are a sweetheart. I've learned a lot of things.Because when I went to Beauty School and then went on to get specializes on Doing Makeovers. Yet as the years roll arlj d we can still learn more. Because with, hair, makeup clothes everything changes a bit from time to time. That's your a sweety. ❤️❤️❤️.
Thanks so much for zooming in. Your skin is gorgeous! My question is, how do you reapply the sunscreen as the day goes on? Thanks, Anne
Thank you so much! That is a great question. I typically don't... but I do have a Coola Setting spray that has SPF in it.
Watched your video yesterday and i have all these products so i thought why not give it a try. I'm off to buy the sigma concealer brush! So quick and easy...thanks lisa!
LISA- Like i said before I ALWAYS learn something in your videos. I too, have stayed away from using my It Cos. Concealer due to the heavy weight it brings to my face. Thank You!!💜💙
This makes me tempted to buy the Drunk Elephant retro cream, those ingredients seem amazing and very effective to keep skin looking youthful! Thank you for this in-depth tutorial!
I am really love it!
Was this the new formula on the concealer? Also, are you wearing false lashes in this video? If so which ones cause they look amazing? Thanks!
Hi Lisa,
Great tutorial! The end result is luminous skin with an easy application. Ironically, I have been contemplating trying the It Cosmetics powder foundation and now, I am sold on it (no pun intended😉). What is the shade that you used? It looks like either light or medium. Can you confirm? Thank you!
Thank you Sarah! I used Medium. :) and medium dark for concealer.
I also thought that a higher SPF meant that is was a stronger level of sunscreen protection. I now know the real tea about the sunscreen numbers and what they mean. It is good to know this and everyone will think I am so smart, lol. I also want to ask about comparing liquid foundations with powder foundations. I use to always use a powder foundation Bare Minerals, but my daughter told me it didn't look as good as she thought a liquid foundation and so I switched. I feel like I do look more natural and better then the Powder Foundations. What is your favorite liquid or powder? I also want to ask if you have ever used an airbrushing tool and if you think that they work better then our brushes and sponges? I am thinking of investing in one and wanted to know what you thought about air brushing foundation first. Thank you as always Lisa, you are a rare gem!
Can you do a more in depth video on the drink elephant products? I've seen many UA-camrs use the products but never talk much about them. Thanks for the quick powder foundation look!
Sure Meghan! I only own a few but I plan to get a couple more. My recent skincare routine talks about the ones I am using currently.
Thanks for your videos. I would love to see a video explaining highlighters for mature skin-//especially pores. I'm confused about when to apply liquid or cream highlighter before or after powder and which is best with mature textured skin. Thanks !
Oh this is a great video suggestion! Thank you! I've saved it.
I always learn something from your videos Lisa, you are a natural teacher! Love how this foundation looks on your skin. xo Cathy
Awww so glad to hear! Thanks Cathy!
I LOVE the color of that nail polish!
Thank you so much for explaining the SPF. I’m always trying to find the highest SPF and thought I’d have to walk around looking white all of the time. :(
Hi Lisa! I love the tinted sunscreen from DE (actually I love the whole line 😂) but as a sunscreen I apply a lot more than what you did there, I think to be really protected we need at least nickel-sized dollop! xoxo
So glad you love it as well! Thanks Karine, will have to keep that tip in mind :)
Lisa J I love your videos and your honest reviews! I am 40 and grew up in Brazil, I used to be under the sun all the time! Anyway now I became a little paranoid with sunscreen lol 🤦🏼♀️
Great video. I love the quick & easy foundation. You have such smooth skin 😍. Question, will you review Morphe cosmetics & the best technique to concealing under eye bags with dark circles? Thank you.
Cheers 😉 🌷
I love this brand and am so excited to finish watching this review! Totally random question: I am pretty sure you have natural green or hazel eyes, but do you wear colored contacts to make them more green?
Hi! I don't wear contacts. The light tends to make them look more green I think :)
Okay! I didn’t ask because of how green they appear; I only mentioned it because your eyes don’t have a lot of other colors like most natural green eyes do. It has hardly gradient :)
Do all powder foundations oxidize? And or do ALL foundations oxidize? I have yet to find one that doesnt change color after an hour or so on my skin... So I haven't used foundation much in the last 7 years, but now I would like to find one that's easy to apply and looks natural like this video shows!!
I found your channel due to your collab with Emily Noel. And I've been binge watching your videos! Love your content and your personality.
Aww, thank you Kathy!
Thanks for this video. I have this concealer and I think it’s very thick! I find that warming up a small amount between fingers helps too.
So good to know! Thanks Shelby!
Hi Lisa! I’m New! I do not like liquid foundations as I tend to get really warm easy and I don’t like the feeling I get from them ..I don’t know what I watched recently but I saw something about powder foundations .. girl, why did I think they stopped making an all out powder foundation ?? I think I want to try some and start a nice make up routine because the older I get I feel like my skin color is so splotchy on my face and it makes me self conscious .. I’m turning 40 this year and I have never been a Makeup person but these skin changes are bugging me .. I just don’t know where to start. I loved your video ! I will be watching more ! Thank you!
Lol, they are still made! Let me know if you do try one! Would love to hear your thoughts!
Lisa J I sure will! I had hope to do some research tonight but my brain is too tired! I am heading to ulta tomorrow for a few of the 50% off products. I’m hoping they will help me at least figure out shade then I can go from there ! Can you just come to Florida and take me shopping ? Lol I have a hard time trusting people in stores because I know they are on a commission. I know they would not intentionally steer me wrong but I feel they would encourage me to purchase no matter what lol ugh send some prayers up for me lol
Have you ever tried the Alima pure liquid foundation? I love the powder but I recently bought the liquid and I'm honestly not loving it! It streaks and makes my nose look patchy! If you have tried it do you have any tips to make it look better? Or is it just not a great product? Thank you!! 😊
I ADORE bye bye under eye by IT. I cannot find anything else that compares. And I have tried. I use such a small dot then spread on each finger, getting it warm then spread it under my eyes with my fingers. I just started setting it with the IT translucent powder.
Isn't it amazing?! I love it too!
This reminds me of the neutrogena anti aging healthy skin makeup. Its light coverage and has a sunscreen. Also has retinol.
Ooh! I need to try. Neutrogena has been peaking my interest lately.
Drunk Elephant as at the 1st July 2018 have CONFIRMED that they hav NOT changed both DE Umbra Sheer standard version or and the Umbra Tinte SPF. This is via their IG instagram page.
The Mica will be removed over a course of a few months and this has not commenced as yet. DE will advise their customers/followers, via their IG page once this has been completed, ie the ingredient MICA has been removed from BOTH versions of the Umbra SPF product.
There is a lot of confusion regarding this. You have Umbra Tinte with the original formulation which includes the MICA INGREDIENT.
You can contact DE should you have further questions, via email or IG, instagram.
Hi dear Lisa!!! First of all, thank you for the zoom in! 😉I was one of the people who asked for it. 😄Secondly, I've never tried a powder foundation, so I think I'll give it a go because I can tell your skin looks gorgeous! Greetings! 😘😘😘😘
Thank you Fernanda! :)
Thank you Lisa, very useful information. I agree with you about the shimmer on the Drunk E. sunscreen. I like it, but I wish it has less shimmer on it. Love the result, your skin looks great!
Thanks Paulina! It will be interesting to see if they have reformulated and how its changed.
Great video- thank you for the help!! I like the it cosmetics concealer and am so glad I only bought the travel size/ I use so little per application!
Good tip! the travel will last forever!
Another great video, Lisa! My question is related to something entirely different. I've watched your video about lash extensions and wanted to know, when you are in the shower, do you have to prevent the water from hitting your face? I know that sounds crazy but I'm very interested in having them but not sure I can maintain the careful upkeep. Thanks!
Hi Jill... I don't really put my face directly in the shower stream.... they do get wet though.. I just don't let the water run over it. I'm use to it now and I don't feel it to be a lot of maintenance (even though I do wash my face differently) .. of course the 2 week appts are a lot to keep up with but as far as my day to day routine.. it doesn't really interfere.
I have a TON of sample size tubes of that concealer, but have never tried it. Judging by how much you recommended to use, I might have a lifetime supply. ;)
I love the Loreal Infallible Concealer Sponge. It's a perfect size for under eyes!
Oh good to know! Thank you!
so pretty even before makeup 💗
Hi Lisa, no not tried the stick but, saw it on you tube looked interesting was used as more of a concealer so just putting on areas that it was needed thought it looked good as it’s so hot here I don’t always want foundation especially in the summer. X
I love this tutorial! I think this is going to be a perfect powder foundation for the summer when I’m out and about with my son. QQ - do you set powder foundation before applying bronzer/blush/etc?
Thank you! 💗
Thank you Kimberly! I don't set powder foundation. :)
Lisa J thank you! I’m always so impressed you write back and I feel like a celebrity responded to me! 😂
Lisa, what is your skin tone colour and is your skin dry? Combo?
Did you put the IT powder under your eyes too? As an older sub, I have a real problem with concealer, as the skin under my eyes is so thin. I moisturize the heck out of my eyes, and still most concealers just sit there and don't absorb into the skin. I pat, not swipe, and do all the right things! The only thing that works for me is No.7 Radiant Concealer (like Touche Eclat - only less expensive!), but it doesn't last - even with a light powdering, but fortunately you can add it on top of powder and it doesn't cake.
Hi! I don't use the IT powder under my eye. I find it to be too heavy for that delicate skin.. I like to use Laura Mercier Secret brightening powder or Danessa Myricks 01 powder. .both are very lightweight . I will have to try that No7 product. Thank you!
Does it bother your eyes? The sunscreen. I have trouble with that but maybe I can buy that one. My favorite sunscreen is by Tacha but it has a hefty price and I go through them like candy.. so have tried many to try and replace but has been hard maybe I should give this one a try..
Hi Alicia! It doesn't bother my eyes.. I don't apply it on my eyelids but I do around my eyes.
DE lala creme wasn't enough for me in the winter, needed the big guns, perricone md hypo allergenic (green jar), not that Im sensitive but the moisturising capability is wonderful. Im clearly that bit more dryer than you Lisa. The extra expense of the Perr md is absolutely warranted.
Hi Lisa! I'm in my late 20s and love following you over younger UA-camrs because your product choices and application techniques are so professional yet easy to follow and learn. You clearly know your stuff! :) I have a question unrelated to this video but I thought I'd post here since you mentioned you'd be featuring a question - would you mind doing a video on how to keep your eyeliner from smudging or falling? I love Loreal eyeliners but I"ve noticed they fall or smudge from the lower lash line by the end of the day ( in fact, even sometimes from the upper lash line on the outer corners) - I should mention I have extremely long eyelashes (thanks to genetics) and tend to laugh-cry a lot - not a bad problem to have ;) - so I really need some tips on this!!
Hi Amoha! This is such a great question! Unfortunately there can be so many variables that cause this... If ti happens on both the upper and lower.. its probably the eye liner... I would look for something waterproof. There are lots of pencils, pens and gel liners that are waterproof. If its more on the lower than the upper, it could be concealer is not setting and warming up on the skin causing it to break down the eyeliner. Is your skin on the oiler side? Or do you live in a hot climate?
Thanks for your response Lisa! My skin is definitely on the oily side. I just got married recently and my make up artist did a phenomenal job and brought out all her matte and waterproof products that took such great care of me all day :) I am actually from New Jersey so not a hot climate but I'll play around with setting my concealer better - that's a good idea. I use the Maybelline Age Rewind concealer that's so popular on UA-cam. I"ll try using a smaller brush for my loose powder for the under eye area and giving it time before I do my eyes. Thanks again and keep up the good work on youtube :) glad to hear you're full time now!
Love this Lisa! I think I will try this foundation. It looks beautiful on your skin
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. Do you understand what the plus signs mean in sunscreen? If you do, could you explain it? I am so confused by the +++. Thank you💕💕
Thank you, thank you for this video, Lisa! I definitely used a small amount of product, but I don’t think I’ve been blending properly or long enough. I may try to get that Sigma brush, but in the meantime I’ll try blending with a sponge. Great video! xo
I hope it helps Gail! :)
Thank you for listening to your viewers requests!
:) Always :)
Love this tutorial. I really want to try the CC+ now, lol. I have the regular celebration powder foundation. I really like it but would really love it better if it had SPF. I love how your skin looks after application. It’s gorgeous with or without 😊 Great info and tips as always.
Thank you Lori! I keep hearing the Celebration Powder is really nice... I may need to try. How is the coverage?
Lisa J coverage is medium. I find it too makeup, caked on if I try to build it too much. I really like how it wears through out the day. It’s my go to on the weekends. So I’m not really wanting more than something to even out my skin.
Lisa, your "GORGEOUS" with or without makeup, so don't worry about getting so close to the camera.
Debbie you are so sweet. Thank you!
I checked out that Layla moisturizer, and it claims to be good for dry, normal, oily, combo, and sensitive skin. I just don’t understand how that can be true. I’m glad I got a big sample of that It Cosmetics concealer in my Ipsy bag today. It will be interesting to try it out.
You have beautiful skin even without makeup!
Awww thank you!! :)
I like the color of your eyes and cheeks. Can you do a video on that? Great tutorial and it came out nice and luminous. Thanks
Thank you Mildred! I am not wearing any makeup on my eyes i this video... (just lash extensions)
Lisa, loving your info filled videos! Could you please do a tutorial on how to do brows? My brows haven't grown back fully due to medication and I'm struggling to find a natural and realistic way of doing my brows. There are many tutorials on UA-cam, but I don't really like the Instagram/drag queen look for myself. I want my brows to look as natural as possible AND I need them to stay on all day! Sweat proof brows help needed!
I'm particularly struggling with finding a thin enough brow brush so I can draw in individual hairs (not entire brow, but here and there). Any tips?
Hi! Have you tried the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz or the NYX Microbrow? I like both of those for a very fine thin pencil. I don't have too much experience with any brow pens, but that might be worth a try? Also, this may be more extreme than you want to do but I got microblading done (I have a video on it) and that could be an option for you?
Thank you so much! I can’t tell you how much I’ve learned in watching your channel! 😀
Yay!! Thank you so much Mary! Xoxo
Beautiful finish! Thanks for the sunscreen lesson! 😍
Thanks Christine!
I found your UA-cam. I’m so happy 😁. At 58 a hardly wore daily makeup, now my face is saying let’s get with the program to enhance my maturing skin and stop scaring folks 🤣😂. So new to the makeup world, I started to watch you and you’re great and I have the same combination skin. I picking up many tips. Thank you you’re fabulous 🥰
Awww so happy to hear! Thanks Artemis!
Lisa you are so pretty with your bare skin...lol. Thank you for info. I have one of the It cosmetics powder foundation love how fast it is, but can look cakey...I will try to use it with your moisturizer tips. Question...I thought the longer you wait to put foundation on the better, like 30 min. ?? How long do you recommend? Thank you
Hi Katrina! I think it really depends on the skincare you are using and how your skin absorbs it. After a few minutes my skin has absorbed most products but I still feel a little supple feel to my skin, which I prefer when applying makeup because it gives it adheres to my skin better. When my skin is bone dry makeup just looks heavier.
It’s also important the balance of UVB and UVA protection that’s a big one....not just he SPF number.
Thanks Lisa j!! You and Tati are my fav ladies to watch for makeup reviews with mature skin like myself I believe I’m still older than both of you lol. 37. Anyways I have combo skin living up in New England winters are harsh here so I Dry out fast my question is what do you recommend for a face wash and also a great under eye moister cream??
Thank you so much!! I love Tati as well I could watch her videos all day. lol :) For dry skin.. I think you would love the Colleen Rothschild Cleansing Balm and her eye cream is soooo good! I have only been recently trying some of her products but they are sooo good!
Lisa J thank you for the recommendation I will look into her products now!! Keep us looking beautiful luv!! Xoxo
You're gorgeous even without makeup! ---love your vids
Aww, thank you Jamie! xoxo
I'm older than you. I wish I could use powder but it always looks like powder on the skin! Can you address a way to make it look more natural on older skin? Thanks.
