And can we please include info on how to make it last if you have oily eyelids? Genuinely the most difficult because the oils seep through during the day and not only ruin the eyeshadow but also cause even waterproof mascara to smudge
@@herbie13 I managed to find 1 primer that worked ok (but not amazing) but it's been discontinued so now that's even worse. I totally understand having a 'tacky base' for eyeshadow to stick to, but they just don't keep the oils at bay long enough. It's almost like I need a mattifying base for the oil and a sticky base over that for the eyeshadow
@@cpiek7611 What do you suggest? I've tried many including Fenty which the sales associate said required him to use makeup remover to get it off and even that creased on me.
I'm in absolute agreement on the skin prep. It makes a HUGE difference. I love Neutrogena hydro gel water gel moisturizer. It works so great under makeup and doesn't pill. I go in with Milk Hydro grip primer after to get my skin is sticky so it holds my makeup in place.
@@carolann6158 I think it would be good on dry skin if let your moisturizer sink in for a while then use the primer. I just use a really small amount in my T zone where my makeup tends to break up first. I heard that the ELF dupe of it is really good so you could try that first and probably save some money if it's as good as ppl are saying.
Imma preface this by saying that *I knowwww* this is terrible advice as it's bad for skin and it's really bad if you breathe it in... BUT I learnt this trick from my performance days and still use it for events where my makeup has to last: HAIRSPRAY YOUR FACE AT THE END. Kept my wedding makeup flawless for 17 hours. Also been to festivals in the middle of (Australian) summer: even through sweat and grime, makeup was perfect.
I used to spray the setting mist as the final step. But after watching this video and after one week of doing the 'setting mist after all creams' method: what a make-up game changer! My make-up looked more skin-like and lasts longer than before. I'm blown away by how my base looks after a long day. Thank you, thank you so much for sharing!
I just started following you and watching your videos and I absolutely love how you describe each step of every process to people like me don’t know a whole lot about make up. I’m really starting to appreciate the artistry that goes until all of this. Thank you! And by the way, because of your videos, I completely nailed my bronzer today.
The game-changer for my oily skin was definately SERUMS! They are not as heavy as creams and absorb somewhat easier also. I usually go for a serum more water-based instead of oil based, even looking for as little amount of oil as I can but looking for it to have other moisturizing ingredients. For example, what I currently use as a fave for skin prep is a hyaluronic acid serum :)
Primers have never seemed to do for me what they do for other people. I have oily/combo skin and it's taken years to curate a skincare routine that works for me. I feel so validated for using my moisturizer like a primer for the times when I do use makeup. The only primer I've tried that's ever sort of worked is the Elf Mint Melt Primer (Which they unfortunately don't make anymore). I'm a cosplayer so when I do cosplay makeup for conventions, I need that staying power, and I love the trick of setting your liquid/cream makeup with a setting spray before putting on powder!
I've been slowly adopting the less is more makeup application style and UGHHH it's like you read my mind every time😩😫💗💓💖💞 EXACTLY the video I needed, luv ya girl
Also set makeup before applying makeup spray to the face after skin care and priming ensures makeup lasts you never spray after makeup because it reactivates the makeup mainly the powders and what liquids you’ve set Which is why makeup breaks down fast because you’ve put something wet on face after it’s set Putting it on before makeup ensures longevity and no creasing I’m a MUA professionally since 2018 and this is what I’ve learnt over the years
Wait cause this makes so much sense- I’ve been using a spray after applying my makeup and it would instantly go downhill from there thinking I was doing something good… thank you so much.
There's like 2 of you on youtube that actually educate on make up, I appreciate you not just always..selling lol I understand we all have to survive but you keep it as real as possible ❤
The best thing she said “ small amount of the powder “ this what I really start doing. Am a muslim and I wear Hijab for most of the time outside. Every time I wear makeup I face an issue with having a cakey face + even with a setting spray the power leave marks and stain my Hijab which makes me look not clean and dusty 🙂💔 when I start reduce the amount of makeup and put the minimum amount of powder I enjoyed the result and I look more natural 😍
I love the way you go into such depth on everything you do! Other influencers just do their thing & don't say WHY. I'm one of those oeople who needs to know WHY. So, THANK YOU!❤
I really love keeping up with your base makeup vids they just change over time because technically u find what works for you every time and u look younger and so beautiful after each time♥️
Holy crap this was really eye opening for me! My face is an oil slick so I always just assumed that more powder will have to do. I always end up reapplying constantly and looking like a baked cakey disaster by the end of the day. Thank you for this!
I've got combo/oily skin that gets extra oily when I wear makeup. I've found that really nailing your skincare with moisturizers and serums that are not too moisturizing is key! I'm definitely of the 'moisturizer as primer' camp. Also, using a really oil-controlling powder for your oiliest areas (T-zone, cheek pores, etc.) and more of a regular face powder for less oily areas, in my experience, helps everything look less patchy and caked.
Thank you! I’ve seen so many videos about skin prep, but no one goes into detail about what kind of skin prep people should use under different circumstances, definitely love the video!
Hi Alex- I’m 55 and just started my makeup journey this year. I appreciate you and your work so much. This topic is big for me. Between having combo skin (xtra oily t zone) and lovely hot flashes my makeup longevity is quite challenged. I will be trying all the techniques you offered and I wondered if you would offer some wisdom on the order of sunscreen. Before primer? After primer? And is there a best amount of time to wait after prep to start applying my complexion products? Thank you so much!! You are a gift.
I use the Supergoop ceramide sunscreen oil, because I am super dry. I don’t use primer, but according to skincare creators I watch, you should be using sunscreen after primer. I don’t do it that way, I put my sunscreen on first, then moisturizer, then I do my eye makeup, then foundation. Hope that helps.
I believe it's recommended to wait 30 minutes after applying sunscreen before putting on makeup. But I rarely wait that long. 😆 I apply sunscreen after moisturizer and before primer because I heard it's supposed to be the last skincare product before applying complexion products.
@@trishamarie Interesting about sunscreen after primer. The skinfluencers I watch generally infer sunscreen before primer since primer is considered a makeup product and not a skincare one.
This is super helpful! I try to pile on moisturizer but these tips will definitely help me figure out what to put on before make-up to make my skin look nicer.
For me as a server working long shifts at a casino, the best long wearing glowy base combo is milk hydro grip all over, Tarte timeless smoothing in my pores, L'Oreal freshwear foundation, kosas cloud set powder and Mac stay over setting spray! I don't use concealer.
could you make a video talking about how to avoid makeup separating, going patchy and collecting in weird places? im finding my base doesn't sit as well and im trying to figure out what changed
I'm just starting to get into makeup as a young adult and please I just wanted to take the time to genuinely thank you for existing and being you!!!! I've recently just found your channel but I have been absorbing the content as if it's my religion 😂 but I am learning so much and your personality makes it so enjoyable to watch even if the videos get long! 🫶 I appreciate the work you put in for us, so thank you
If any of you have problem with foundation lasting in one specific area, e.g. nose or chin, try Nyx glitter primer or Inglot duraline as the base, it works like charm for me! But of course this is not a solution for the whole face
You're AWESOME! I just have to say, I love watching your techniques, and your personality is the best!! I love how you list every product too! Thank you!!
Just started watching you recently and wow.. I am in love. You are so educational and it gives me so much guidance as a new make up wearer. You are beautiful, funny, so fun to watch! Thank you so much!!! ❤️
Thanks, very helpful indeed .

Tatcha is the only thing I can use, doesn't break me out and everything else makes my skin a holy living mess! Worth the cost for me! Thank you for making this video, I'm a teacher and days are loooong, at least 10 hours. I'll try the elf powder - my daughter loves them, she uses everything you do! 💙
So, I've been using the Youthforia Pregame primer & setting spray for a while, and that has changed my whole life. They make my skin feel so protected, and my makeup looks GOOD all day long.
I love this you do what your make up exactly like I do and I don't come across a ton of people on UA-cam that do the liquid version first then powder version. I've started doing all the liquids on my face and then instead of going over everything with translucent powder I will just go over like my bronzer cream with my powder bronzer, and then my blush with my powder, blush but very carefully because you could've crazy and then I'll put transparent power over the other areas.
Thank you SO much for sharing! I love this! Do you have any videos (and if not.. would you consider doing one)...on how to contour yet still have that sun kissed look? I just can not seem to be able to do both. It just kinda all runs in together and looks horrible. 😢
I used a Japanese brand called Fancl. I use their sunblock and my foundation stays all day. It is summer and humid where I live, so I know it really works. I use toner , water based moisturizer, followed by the Fancl sunblock , then liquid foundation.
Alex! Could you do a recommended base routine for festival makeup? I want my makeup to stick but run into the issues of sweating and dirt getting on my face. Maybe reapplication has to be involved somehow??
I'm getting maried in the middle of the Indian summer in Mumbai and doing my own makeup! Would you change any of these tips when confronted with that level of heat and humidity?
These tips are amazing! Used them (and some of your other tips from previous videos) to make sure my makeup still looked good for an event after work - 12 hours later and my base still looks great! Sad to have to wash my face at the end of the night! 😂
So helpful thank you so much! I have been using the inkey list mineral daily sunscreen which I found works so well as a base moisturiser plus spf and it gets nice and sticky. I thought it might help me and after watching your video I understand why it did!
I added this comment earlier today at another video from you, but I guess this video is better :) (I have normal to lightly oily skin) I love how the foundation looks on a very moisturized base, I have the Chantecaille sheer glow rose primer jar, whatever the name is, and it is a beautiful product. It makes all the foundations look gorgeous on top. The problem is that after 15 min I already need to touch up, then I apply another layer of powder, then after another 30 min same...I start again to look oily and the skin starts to feel oily and tacky, the foundation starts to transfer on my phone, children :) etc. This happens all the time when I use more hydrating primers (the milk gripping one, elf gripping one, armani neo hydrating one). Can I do something about that? I really love the initial look, but after 30 min, it is starting to be problematic. And I am not oily. What I use: the ordinary buffet + copper peptides serum + khiels cream + beauty of joseon sunscreen. Maybe I need to wait more after I apply the primer and only after that apply foundation? Another problem is my under eye area, i am trying not to powder it much and put the concealer only close to innercorners where I have this blue purple area, but it is not a big deal. Still, my undereyes during the day start to get very, very dry. When I smile, you can see all my lines! Even if the rest of my face is oily, that area is dry. Can you help with some tips? Tia!
Needed: undereye application of concealer and setting for those of us who have lots of fine lines that appear under the eyes when we talk/smile. When I go apply light coverage no powder, it creases and disappears; when I set it with powder, it cracks.
hello alexandra, thank you thank you for this superb very instructive video, I love learning makeup techniques. It is true for me that with my combination skin, makeup changes during the day. I will therefore follow your advice.😀😀😀

I can never figure out how to do “glass skin” with makeup lol, I can only ever get it to work with bare face and skincare, so this will be helpful
I have heard that Mariah Leonard has a great tutorial for glass skin!!

The problem is that after 15 min I already need to touch up, then I apply another layer of powder, then after another 30 min same...I start again to look oily and the skin starts to feel oily and tacky, the foundation starts to transfer on my phone, children :) etc. This happens all the time when I use more hydrating primers (the milk gripping one, elf gripping one, armani neo hydrating one). Can I do something about that? I really love the initial look, but after 30 min, it is starting to be problematic. And I am not oily. What I use: the ordinary buffet + copper peptides serum + khiels cream + beauty of joseon sunscreen. Maybe I need to wait more after I apply the primer and only after that apply foundation?
Another problem is my under eye area, i am trying not to powder it much and put the concealer only close to innercorners where I have this blue purple area, but it is not a big deal. Still, my undereyes during the day start to get very, very dry. When I smile, you can see all my lines! Even if the rest of my face is oily, that area is dry. Can you help with some tips? Tia!
Love your videos they’re so informative!! Your personality shines through too.
PLEASEEE do a video on how to make a black water line stick if you know how to i always struggle with fall out!!!
Needed: undereye application of concealer and setting for those of us who have lots of fine lines that appear under the eyes when we talk/smile. When I go apply light coverage no powder, it creases and disappears; when I set it with powder, it cracks.
You look AMAZING. Inspiring. Sooo beautiful
