- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- So how many times has your foundation gone caky and creasy throughout the day? Mine has too many times to count....but it's not always the foundation's fault....it's often the application. Of course, choosing the right foundation can really help, but if you master the application with a few simple techniques, you'll have much more success, and a flawless finish.

My skin type is combi/dry most of the month, but when hormonal, my skin gets very oily around my t-zone. It's very unpredictable (thanks skin) and I suffer from breakouts (mostly hormonal breakouts...thanks again hormones!)

My eight year old son heard you talking about foundation while I was watching this and said he wanted to watch it with me. I was super surprised and we sat side by side watching. After a while he turned to me and asked, “Ok, so what does makeup have to do with building a house and when is she going to start laying the foundation?” 😂 I nearly cried laughing. 😂
That’s so cute!
Ah love it 😀
Could you please do one of these on your mom. Our older skin can often act horribly with powder. Seems to highlight every line and wrinkle for me. I’m 75
I have seriously learned more about makeup, skincare, and application from you than any other channel I watch. So many influencers are doing first impression videos on all the new foundations that have launched. But, it doesn't matter what foundation you use if you don't know the correct way to apply it. Just BRAVO, Gemma!!
PS I have 4 sponges that I keep in a "rotation", washing after each use and letting it sit up a dry in the cap of a dry shampoo spray. The best cleaner I have ever used is the Elf Charcoal Sponge cleaner. It makes the cleaning SO fast and thorough😀
Gemma this is one of the best videos you’ve made. Even an idiot like me should be able to follow this. I always Get confused about colour correction and concealing. Thanks very much xx Sending Love to Seth and Bea xx
I just love your application tutorials, Gemma - so useful & informative. Lots of influencers seem to presume that their followers know
'the basics', whereas everyday is actually a school day! Thank you for this, very helpful.
Your logic for WHY to do what you suggest is very useful. Makes it easier for us to decide what applies to our situations.
Man, no wonder I have problems! I go in with waaayy to much foundation at first. Thanks for the tips!😄😄
Hi Gemma. A fabulous video. From a lady of mature age (62) who hasn’t worn makeup for most of her life, you and your mum have been a great inspiration too me. I enjoy putting makeup on now but some days look better than other 😂😂. I’m still using very light foundations as I’m not confident to go for medium to full coverage just yet. I will watch this video a few times before I dive in. Thank you xxxx
Gemma I’m so glad you made this video. You must be a mind reader. I was just searching for this type of tutorial. Thank you 🙏
Me too! I had just looked in the mirror and silently complained that I looked a little cakey today, then this notification came up! Thanks, Gemma! (And I probably used too much and didn't go over with the sponge after, because I was in a hurry. Which is fine, but it confirmed what I could do better when the extra couple of minutes are available.)
Seriously, this is the best foundation application video I've ever seen. (And in the past year, I've seen a TON of foundation videos.) Thank you!
I love your videos! Even in my 20s I was never interested in the “baking” UA-camr style of makeup routines. Now, in my early 30s, I am finding the methods for mature skin far more appealing. I still use very little, but always feel better knowing the best techniques for my skin and style. Thank you for making these! 💖
33 year old here, never put too much into my makeup routine, from choosing to applying. The makeup I did buy the last time, I only wore like once a week, if that, and had it for several years.
So after finding your channel, I got super inspired! I researched all the different ones I wanted and looked at the reviews. Found my picks, bought them (nothing too high end, just from Target - not sure if you are familiar with Target, the makeup is similar to the drugstore selection)
Anyway, today I finally had some time to play around with the new stuff for a bit - using your tips and techniques and recommendations of makeup.
And what it comes down to is: THANK YOU! I watched this video and followed along and it's absolutely amazing! Then I watched the contouring video and that was amazing too!!
So glad you found the videos helpful Leda xxx
Ok, I've only been using make up for 45 yrs and NOW realise I've been applying it too thickly and too quickly ! Thanks Gemma, you're a star. That was so thorough and comprehensive whether you are new to make up or a veteran like me ! Xx
Gemma you are the best beauty teacher/ tutor ever. So relatable, easy to follow and just all round fabulous. I'm so happy I found your channel.
Oh dear. You take much more time than I do. Good video.
Missing out around the nose and mouth. That’s the first thing I’ve been doing wrong. I’m always in such a hurry when I apply my makeup and the older I get the less I can get away with that. I also need to start applying concealer to the back of my hand instead of directly on the face. This was a great video, Gemma. Thank you.
Hi there, my dear Gemma 💜! I love these tips, thank you 👍❤
Great video Gemma! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Gemma. Been a fan of yours for a while now however never had the courage to comment, until now. Today is the first day I've put make up on (been nurturing a very dehydrated skin!). I've got the same base brush as you and haven't used it for a while as been obsessed with my zoeva brush. I've followed your advice to apply my foundation today, using the revolution brush, and oh my goodness, what a difference! I used less than half of the foundation I normally would use and my face looks flawless! Everything applied so much better on top too. Only downside is it will take me longer to apply before going to work tomorrow but it will be worth setting the alarm that little bit earlier. I could never get my foundation to look this nice on top of my mineral sunscreen and now it does. So, big thanks from me for doing this video 😊 X
Great tutorial. Before I pat the beauty blender into my skin I always give it a squirt of skindanavia finishing spray straight into the damp sponge and that really helps melt the foundation into my skin (I am 47). This seems to be the best way to get the foundation to really become one with the skin. At the very end instead of spraying my face I do the same thing and it melts my blush / highlighter / bronzer into the foundation and it makes it a) last all day and blends everything so it’s not three seperate products but just melded together. I feel good that I already (mostly) follow this way of doing my foundation as your skin looks amazing always
You are the best teacher on 🌍, Gemma!!! No questions left!
Hugs and kisses, Sabine 😘
Swiper no swipe. Very easy to understand and helpful.
Brilliant video this. Great tips and techniques shared xx
This tutorial has completely changed my makeup game. I was using WAY more foundation than I needed and it always looked cakey because like you said it wasn’t drying underneath that top layer. Just... THANK YOU. 💜🙏🏻
Excellent advice...yup, I was using too much foundation at once. I will lighten up.
Your skin is looking wonderful Gemma!
I am trying this tomorrow, thank you, very clear and hopefully I can duplicate!
Truly you are invaluable for your great advice, tutorials and humour. Thank you
I love watching videos that show different techniques for applying makeup! Always learning something new! 😊
Even before foundation, your skin looked beautiful.
This video is the holy grail for a newbie like me. Subscribed and grateful.
This helps so much, tried it straight away. Thank you Gemma
Love these tips!!
My skin has changed so much going into my 30’s and it’s like working with a completely different face! Definitely going to practice these tips!
Video time! 🙌 I'm so far behind on my UA-cam videos this week. I seen you just posted soooo...I skipped all my other videos just to watch yours! ❤
Happy Thursday Wolfpack. 💜
Happy Friday, Jessica, Diana and all pack members 😉. 😚
Love this video. Will be putting these hints and tips into place tomorrow morning x
Hi, lovely Gemma! Loved your great tips.Thank you 😀❤️
Hi Gemma!
I'm a new subscriber...you are so informative and I am very happy to tell you that I think your videos are the best makeup tutorials I've ever found. It is great that you stick to the point and don't ramble on with unrelated fluff. I am SO impressed that you have revealed in another video, the lighting and editing tricks that are now obviously prevalent in other tutorials. Thank you for being real...Sheri from Florida
Thank you and Welcome to the Pampered Wolf Pack xxx
WOW! Was just watching your video on soap brows (last year May), and you just made 1000 subscribers. Now you have 91,000!!!! Unreal! Super happy for your success. Still hoping for that super heavy hooded eye tutorial .
Dear Gemma, I have now put on my foundation according to your instructions and WOW! It really works and now I know what I did wrong, which was that I put on a little bit to much here and there.
Thank you ever so much for this very, very helpful video 💐🌷🌹🥀🌺
Another great video. As always, a big thank you!
Wow, I got blown away with this technique that I tried today. I just used one smallest drop of a foundation and my skin looks amazing. Thanks you!
Great video! I always have a problem with makeup staying on my nose and chin.
For areas like the nose (where it seems we all have the problem of the disappearing makeup), I’ve heard that using a “sticky” or “tacky” primer just in that area works. I just ordered the e.l.f. Jelly Pop Dew Primer ($8 at Ulta) to do just that. Fingers crossed! 🤞 Here’s a description of the primer:
“Jelly Pop Dew Primer has a unique gel texture that works like glue to grip makeup to ensure it stays put.”
@@JPMJPM thank you, I will check that out
Jackie Davis Oh! And Gemma did a specific video on how to keep makeup from coming off your nose and chin. Check that out.
i like to use my fingers to tap out any foundation around my nose, mouth and chin, the heat in your hands tend to help it melt into the skin and avoid build up. this was a great video, i know you say over 45 but every 14-25 year old should also watch. like you im a less is more kinda person
Very much needed...helpful information. Brilliant Gemma...thank you ! 🇨🇦
Another very informative video and I thank you!! My t-zone area doesn't like me as well as my temple areas. My temples will get cakey throughout the day if I'm not careful to put the bare minimum on them & then when I smile throughout the day I look like I have wrinkles that truly don't exist there. Same with t-zone so I will be taking this instruction to heart as I had always started with the middle & worked outward. I visit one of my dozen doctors tomorrow & am going to practice this before church this coming Sun. I've found I only need 1 pump on back of hand the majority of the time unless I want to build up. I'll be sure to use my damp sponge afterwards as well. I'm a pat on girl as my skin is very sensitive w/my brushes. The concealer can be a bit of a bear as I can't go up too high under lash line either. If I'm not wearing shadow then I will color correct my easy to see purplie veins on lids before foundation. Otherwise that's my only issue besides a couple of wisdom spots I've been fading over time w/a little vitamin C. I need to be careful w/vitamin C I've found! I do have a fine line, probably from sleeping on right side too much, where my cheek & undereye meet. That's tricky! I still do what you showed way back w/your mum but have tweaked it a little. Not able to find many colors lighter than my porcelain skin so I use the lightened on the double sided e.l.f. concealer/highlight even if I don't use the concealer. It brightens nicely & my face concealer is my MAC hands down so far. The RCMA is heaven & so glad I found that out from you! I've been using it to set lightly undereye & face while still barely making a dent in the bottle. I LOVE it & VERY affordable!! So I'm going to try these tidbits you've gone over here & am excited hoping I'll get a longer wear from my foundations, especially the expensive ones lol, w/out it pooping out in my problem areas after maybe 6hrs. The Smashbox oil last forever too, worth the price there. Since using oil cleanser & my skincare day/night routines mostly using The Ordinary, my complexion has gotten even more youthful. Freaking people out when they find out my age!! Thanks again Gemma for this vid & all you do! Must sound stalkerish but I think we'd be friends if I lived across the pond. Hey, you could help me find a kind, funny man as if you're this good w/makeup/skincare, he'd be a winner. Be well.🤗❤✌😜👌xx
Hi Gemma🤗🌺 thanks you so much for all your tips..
I learned so much from you about skincare.. before I knew your channel I had a cream for the morning and another one for night..🤗😬😅🥴 now I know whats are AHA, BHA, Vitamin A, B and C and what they do.. peptides, EGF, double Cleaning etc etc etc💃💪👍👏and I do use them in a routine... Thank you so much Gemma! you have created a Skin-care-nerd🤪😋
Seen it twice since morning Gemma,,,fantastic!
Just tried this foundation based on your review. Very nice.
These videos are so helpful! I have texture around my mouth and foundation always gathers around my nostrils....I am so excited to try these techniques! Thank you Gemma💗
Thank you so much for this. Your instructions are wonderful, which is why you're my absolute favorite UA-camr.
It’s so easy to overdo it when I’m in a hurry. Also, pumps are great but I think they encourage you to use more product than necessary to avoid waste. I’m going to try to remember less is more! ☺️
This is a great video, I wonder how many now realize (including myself) that they use waaaaay too much product.
Loved this video. Thank you, Gemma.
Thanks so much for this video! My foundation was looking Cakey and I couldn’t figure out how to fix it. The techniques mentioned have made all the difference. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!
Awesome tutorial!! I never liked my Born This Way foundation because it was so cake. After trying your tutorial I now love my foundation. Goodbye cake face!! Thank you for the lesson.
Gemma🤗 I learned so much, and I'm excited to see the improvements in my make-up. So many problem solutions, you are an absolute angel for giving us such detailed help! There IS hope lol 🌹 Ta, and have a great weekend with the fam! 🌳☀️🌳💚🐦💚johanna
Excellent video. I will implement your suggestions. Thank you!
I knew I'd learn something new! Truly original content.
Great video! Oh my you have turned me on to Hourglass. I got their blush and a sample of their Mineral Veil❤️ it. Thank you for your timely instructions I am going to look great in 2020!🤣🤣🤣
I used to use a product in the US called Blur. It was a drug store brand (I can't recall which one). I liked it for how my texture looked, but it didn't help skin tone. I also used a product from Masengill for the same purpose or as a primer that was called an anti-chafing gel. It was meant to prevent "Chub Rub" of the thighs, but it was a nice budget alternative to the Smashbox Primer.
So here I am 58 years old and I love you videos you are very good teacher. I always thought you did all of your face and then do the setting spray why do you do it before your blush and whatever else?
I do it twice. Once to keep the foundation in place, and then once to fix the rest xxx
@@PamperedWolf ok will give that a whirl!! Thanks a bunch
Best foundation video I've seen. I've not watched you before but I love your down to earth approach. I will definitely be watching more of your work. Thank you
Don't forget to subscribe and join the Pampered Wolf Pack Sally xxx
That was really good....I think I’m applying too much Primer.... so helpful....see how it goes....
Gemma, Thanks for this very clear tutorial- I have problem with around the nose area- Polka dot pores or the more I try to correct that, I end up looking cakey in that area-using much less, not more foundation is definitely something I am going to try-and the powder used very lightly, too! ☺️💕
Great tutorial. My foundation always goes cakey. Im going to try this method out.
love your tutorials especially with your mum keep it up . loving you from New Zealand
Thank you!!! This video was so helpful. I think I have been using way too much primer, too much foundation, too much concealer....in general too much everything!😱. Starting tomorrow I am going to try self control. Love you Gemma❤️
Love your videos. I really appreciate this video. Makes it less intimidating to apply foundation. Now that I’m older, I don’t enjoy putting on a lot of makeup on. I honestly find foundation so much work. Tend to skip it all together and only use my age rewind concealer. I find it daunting because I don’t have time to do contouring. Every video I look at makes contouring a must when you wear foundation. Do I really need to contour?
It's personal choice Margarita xxx
Thank you, I tried the less is more,doing the layers a little at a time,and no cakey face,thank you
Thanks so much for these great tips, Gemma! Very helpful. 😊
Great, informative video😊
New sub here! I found your huda new nudes/makeup rev new neutrals comparison and immediately liked your vibe..we are around the same age & similar skin tone, and when I saw this video I knew your channel would be so enjoyable to watch! Funny bc majority of the products you used in this video are my go to’s lately!! Great video and looking forward to seeing more!
Welcome to the Pampered Wolf Pack Krista xxx
That RCMA powder is magic. Its the only loose powder i like!
Yes, I use that one all the time : )
This is a life changing video for me. Thank you SO much!🥰
Great video Gemma, I learn something new every time I watch you. My pores on my nose and chin are so large and I use blurring primers and by hour 3 all makeup is off and those pores look like moon craters! Any suggestions would be appreciated. I will slow the makeup process down and take my time. Your look lovely. How was your Mom's vacation, tell all hello and love to Seth and Bea
A primer video will be coming soon....sounds like you're using the wrong primer xxx
Thank you so much for this video love, you look gorgeous as usual!💖🤩
Hi Gemma, lots of great tips in this one! Have you ever done a beginners tutorial? I don't recall seeing one but I may have missed it. I have recommended you to a few of my teen sons friends that are just really starting to explore makeup. I have told them about your in depth explanations into skin care and how you make thing like contouring seem less daunting. I do hope they love your channel is much as I do! Peace, Love and Happiness!!!
Thank you so much Melissa....I haven't done a total beginner video yet...I've not don e foundation and I did an eyeshadow one ages ago but nothing else yet xxx
I really enjoy her videos!
Brilliant video! Will have to watch this again though! Thank you so much Gemma 😊
Great tips! Will definitely gives them a try.
Wow! Amazing video! So well explained! This helps sooo much! 😊 Do you always use 2 different setting powders underneath the eye and on your face in general? Loooove the videos in which you explain "how to" because often one does not know how to handle the products to look good with it! I'd love more such videos (lips, mascara etc.) By the way I also liked the bronzer, concealer video 😊
Hi, I like the Secret Brightening powder for under the eyes, but to be honest it's not that much better than the RCMA so you could use that for both xxx
Gemma this is the best video I have ever watched showing how to apply foundation. Absolutely brilliant, Thank You. 💐💐
Hello Gemma, If Wander beauty if available in the UK, would you please consider doing a full face or first impressions of Wander? I'm very interested in their products.
Love the step by step you are awesome
By the way this is the best how to apply foundation ive seen thank you
Pretentious wafting... LOL.
I'm curious though. Why use a highlighter and then a concealer? I have mature skin and have never tried a highlighter at all. I've always been afraid of putting too much product under my eyes, but it worked beautifully on yours.
Gemma this was a fabulous tutorial I followed it and my makeup looked good all day, loved it thanks so much Paula Abu Dhabi
What a helpful video, and I've had good results using your techniques. Thank you from Houston.
Thank you so much... very helpful!!! Issues with my nose area and concealers!!! Really enjoy your videos! Mahalo!

Another great video Gemma❤️
I get so many great tips from your videos. Thank you so very much
Great vid - you are my fav UA-camr. Brilliant info thank you. Always struggle with application around nose area. I just find the foundation dries really quick for me to blend it in. Will try your tips 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I really appreciate videos like this. Thank you! 😘😘😘
Excellent tutorial, thank you! I am going to give this method a go.
