What I love the most about this video was she literally didn't say anything before starting the video. She just got to the point right away. Wish more people did this :)
Gabrielle Hiller I was surprised but I appreciate the no bull-sh!the attitude. everyone always spends 5 minutes "catching up" before the actual tutorial.
If I have on makeup and my nose starts running, I put some tissue/toilet paper on a q-tip and use that to clear up my nose so it doesn't touch all over my makeup
nooooo it doesn't get Caley at all. apply it with a damp beauty blender. trust me. I used Kat von d!! I have two videos where I tried it ... you tell me!!
The tips in this video are for all skin types!! So this will work on oily, combination & dry skin!! It will also keep your foundation in place for 12+ hours!! Sorry there is no intro in this video - technology may have won the battle this time but I will coming back swinging haha :P Love you guys!! xx
Hello Nikkia love your videos I would love if you could advise on flash back on photos. I find when I use setting powders on my foundation I can't avoid looking like a white ghost in pictures. Please help!!
Naezbless1 The powder she used doesn't create any flashback at all and the best part is that big container is only & 10-$12 on Beautylish.com. You use so little it will last you forever. I won't use anything else. It also doesn't make your face look powdery in person either.
Your foundation tricks have seriously upped my makeup game! My face is no longer cakey or dry because I'm not rubbing foundation on it. I love your technique! I am also properly moisturizing my oily face, which is in turn making it less oily and I am no longer fighting a slick face at the end of the day. Thank you sooo much!
Omg ever since I set my face with a beauty blender instead of a brush my face stay matte all day thank you for this trick I Lear this trick from you ☺️☺️☺️n I also put setting spray before and after I love it
Since watching your videos, my oily skin is no longer a problem under my makeup! Love using my paintpot under foundation 😍 .. us oily UK girls love you!
So good to find a UA-camr with oily skin I have really bad oily skin and ever since I've started watching you my makeup lasts the whole day without coming off ! Thank you ❤❤
Yes!! I have been using my paint pot from MAC in soft ochre on blemishes that are red or dark spots for years! I thought I wasn't supposed to bc it's drying and obviously, it's for eyes but it works and it STAYS PUT! AWESOME that another UA-camr figured out how to use it in a similar way as well. Now that I know nikkia uses it that way too I don't feel so dumb putting it on as a concealer almost. Bc she has THEE BEST TIPS ON ALL OF UA-cam FOR OILY SKIN GIRLS!! And not ONE of the best, I mean THEE best! I love her, she is one of the few that hasn't turned into a narcissist and stuck on herself. Still puts out great quality videos and doesn't involve herself in the drama and gossip like some other bigger UA-camrs. That's like finding a diamond in the ruff on here! Thank you Nikkia, for staying the same as you were in the beginning. More and more subscribers are looking to watch smaller channels or channels that are big but are truthful and not sell outs only producing one video a week that is heavily influenced by shady companies sponsorships and affiliate codes and dishonest reviews. It means alot to have channels like yours, your a breath of fresh air on UA-cam for the beauty community!
Thank you so much!! It's honestly so nice to hear that! I absolutely adore my UA-cam family. I feel like we are all a big group of girlfriends that love to talk about makeup and it's my favourite thing to just sit on here and hang out and talk with you guys! We will be #oilyskinsisters for life!!!!! And we will win the battle against oily skin!!💪🏼So much love to you😍😍😍
Haha it doesn't have to be exactly an hour - just try to do your skincare immediately when you get up - then do the other stuff (breakfast, hair, get dressed, eyeshadow etc) and then apply your foundation and cheek products last! This will give your skincare the maximum amount of time to absorb :) xx
As soon as I get out of the shower I apply my face oil, then I brush my teeth. After that, I put on my primer, then I pick my clothes for the day, mess with my hair and get something to drink. Then I do my makeup: concealer on discolorations and nose, then setting powder, lip moisturizer, foundation, highlight and contour, eye primer, blush, set highlight and contour, eyeshadow(s), powder, setting powder, rose water, highlighter/illuminator, setting spray. That way each area has a little bit of extra time to dry and settle before I put down the next step because I don’t have time to wait when I get ready in the morning. Priorities in order - sleep, shower, makeup, breakfast. Breakfast almost never happens. 😂 yay for snacks at work!
If I still have time after my “necessary” makeup, I do lip gloss, liner, setting powder on liner, lipstick, eyeliner, setting spray to whole face (again) and mascara. If no one else is in the elevator on the way up to work I’ll spray my face with a bit more setting spray on my way to the office (about as far as I can do without my glasses on) I need my makeup to stay put and I’m also oily and prone to sweating! Maybe a little of my OCD is in that routine but it works out for me. 😁
I am 34 years old and I just now am feeling I’m getting good w foundation and I think ur videos have a lot to do with it with my combo-oily skin. Thanks!!
it will be awesome that you show us thru out the day so we can actually see the results you swear by and that we are so excited to try!!! i hear girls all the time than they are oily and when see their face i cant resist to tell them that my face is wayyyyyy oiler than theirs and im really paying attention to your advise for the sake of a dream matt makeup!! 😂
I've had really dry skin my entire life, and now I'm 20 and my skins all of a sudden turned oily so everything I've ever learned that works for me, no longer works for me lol. You're a life saver!
Hello from Ohio, USA. Just wanted to say hi & let you know how happy it makes me to be notified of your videos! You really help a lot of us with our makeup & skin, great product review, very honest & helpful, thanks again for all you do, I really appreciate it! Have a wonderful day, hugs!!!
I started watching you videos a few month ago and you have helped me so much. I have very oliy skin and nothing would last on me. I had tried millions of products untill i found your channel. your videos have really helped me well helped me keep my make up in place all day. so a big thank you to you and all your tips
That's the same thing my neice told me this weekend, said to do my eyes then do the rest of my makeup. I've just been use to doing the opposite, never too old to change a habit. I guess that's why my sunscreen was balling up, wasn't giving it time to set. She told me to wait at least 15 minutes then apply my primer and makeup. So far so good. Just ordered that makeup in your color, got to try it.
Kiwi I find that if I wait more than 15-20 minutes after my morning moisturizing routine to apply my makeup, my skin has already become oily so I put my makeup on straight away. Plus, like you, I don't want to get up earlier than I have to.
i usually do my skincare routine, then have breakfast, then do my makeup. that gives it at least 10-15 minutes and i find that perfect because, as tiffany here already mentioned, any longer and my combo skin gets oily in the t-zone.
EVERY time I use a damp beauty blender to apply my powder it looks HORRIBLE! Either it looks like actual patches of powders laying on my skin or it will look like a lace-like mask. Does anyone else experience that? it doesn't matter the foundation,primer,powder etc. Every single time I've tried (which is a lot!) it looks so bad. Great video though, I'm all about making that makeup last!😊
Megan Eastin Hi Megan similar thing happened to me a while back , but it was because my beauty blender was way to damp were it made the powder cakey. Just make sure you squeeze all the water out (:
Same here, I live in Florida so I feel like it could be the humidity combined with air conditioner but not sure. I've even tried using fix plus, no escape from the lace mask lol
It's funny that you mentioned using a beauty blender vs. a brush to apply powder to set the foundation because I was thinking about doing the exact same thing today as I was doing my makeup. I can't wait to try the tips u learned about in this video!
When I tell you I have very very oily skin and my makeup wipes off easily, this video has helped me, I tried these tips for 3 days straight and it works!! Thank You!!!!
As an EverydayGlamGoddess i appreciate all your useful tips and tricks because THEY ACTUALLY WORK❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ . The time and experience you put into your videos is invaluable to us #Oily Skin Sisters😘 . THANK YOU THANK YOU
I'm an oily/sensitive skin type and since sticking to the most basic skincare routine I don't even get break outs anymore and my skin isn't as red and oily. I find that the less products I use the better my skin is. I also stopped using the Smashbox primer and it's made a big difference. All I do is bake my oily areas and set my makeup with the Laura Mercier powder and this is all I need to do to stay matte for longer. In the summer I use the skindinavia spray for extra longevity. Not forgetting your Mac paint pot technique which has helped so much Nikkia! x
I recently saw a dermatologist who literally changed my skin but also gave me good advice about makeup ahaha. While it's obviously good to have tips like this it's also good to use blotting sheets and a powder to touch up in the day. I know this sounds like common sense but a lot people think that makeup should (or lasts on everyone else) for 15+ hours and it shouldnt!(unless you are very dry) I was someone who never ever touched up my makeup but now I do it I feel like I'm enjoying more products :)
Yes your videos are very helpful. I recently started showing my skin (finally lol) some TLC. I have extremely oily skin like you wouldn't believe but since I've started taking in all your advice and pointers it has done wonders to my skin! And it's only been a few days. Ugh don't get me started on the pores! But they too have minimized just by having clean skin :)
Also I've noticed that when I set my under eyes and face with powder using a damp beauty blender, it can look patchy and like the product just totally disappeared and it's super annoying. It's so hard to have a flawless face when I do my makeup.
beautybyashxox do you bake or just set it? I noticed if I bake too long it'll settle & look patchy too. If you don't bake, maybe use less product on your sponge
Omg Nikkia this is what I needed I notice some foundations do not last a long time. I don't have time to wait an hour for my skin care to settle down before going work any recommendations like using certain products that are fast drying or just continue with our recommendations like setting spray, and primer 😘thank you
Try doing your skincare straight after your shower or as soon as you get up in the morning! Then do the other stuff - breakfast, get dressed, do your hair etc and then do your makeup as the last part of your morning routine! This will at least give your skincare the maximum amount of time to absorb :) xx
I have two kids, and one of them is a toddler I work 7:30 to 6 Monday thru thurs and I wake up at 515 to do my skin care routine and get ready in peace, that to me is my time to just relax and do my skin stuff, skin care to me is crucial
I love washing, cleansing, toning my skin, then taking a half hour to drink tea and eat breakfast, then go back and do my makeup :) also, try and give your primer a few minutes to settle as well! I find that helps
this really is a great helpful video, thank you! if you could make suggestions on any other products that would also work well it would be soooo appreciated, particularly the MAC paintpot?
I can´t thank you enough! I used to think I was bad at doing my makeup and it turns out I have oily skin and was not using the right type! Can you perhaps show one day your makeup removing routine?
Unfortunately I wear makeup in real life and not just for videos or "events" so I can't wait an hour after applying moisturizer to do my makeup. I wash my face, moisturizer then hurry and get ready
Hi Katy! I also wear makeup in real life and in my job as a Nurse/Paramedic - so I totally understand what its like to be under the pump! What does work is shower or wash your face as soon as you get up and apply your skin care straight away. Then do everything else (get dressed, do your hair, have breakfast, brush teeth, pack work bag etc) and THEN apply your makeup right before you leave. It will ensure your skin care has the maximum chance to absorb into the skin :)
omg I can't thank you enough!! I'm so excited to try this I have been struggling non stop with makeup coming off around my mouth. I've tried everything! I'm so excited to test this out. thank you!!!! your videos are the best
I've tried the sandwich method on a couple of occasion but it dries my skin so bad, I can't do it for 2 days in a row, even thought I have a pretty décent skincare routine. I also use my eyeprimer for concealer and it does work!
Do you have a good hydrating skincare routine? Try adding an oil at nighttime (I really love rose hip oil!) it will hydrate your skin really well and should prevent it drying out😍
wow your looks beautiful it looks like skin , is it like that in person also? I tend to use too much foundation and its very aging ...I gotta stip doing this!!!
i love your videos! i will have to find a dupe for the mac paint pots since they're not cruelty free. :( any luck finding something similar to the paint pot from a company who doesn't test on animals?
Awesome! Same here, I used to love mac but then found out they test on animals AND they are expensive lol a lot of great new brands are much cheaper now.
After I set my foundation with powder I spray my Morphe sponge with setting spray, I'm currently using Maybelline master fix. Then i press the sponge to my skin while it's still wet from the setting spray. It helps my makeup stay matte but doesn't prevent it from rubbing off. I'm oily on my chin, nose, inner cheeks next to my nose, forehead, and eyelids/undereyes! Then I proceed with blush, highlight, eye makeup, eyebrow powder (I use dip brow or pencil with my cream products, then set my brows when I set the rest of my face) and then finish off with lip liner and lipstick, and setting spray, but I prefer to let it sit and really hydrate my skin and soak into it rather than pressing it in with a sponge, I feel like the sponge soaks up the setting spray and makes it less effective than when I just let my setting spray air dry. And I never though of using an under eye primer, nothing I do helps with creasing and dryness!
Wayne Goss did a video where he sprayed setting spray onto his beauty blender before blending out each layer of foundation/concealer. Would you recommend this?
Nj ever since I found your channel and finding out you have oily skin just like me all your tips and tricks have helped me tremendously.....like I use every single one of your tips for oily skin...and it has done wonders for my makeup application...I literally feel you were god sent to me bcuz ever since I found you my makeup has been A-1 better so thank you thank you I appreciate you soooooo much!
IrishKatieKatz try the Too Faced Hangover primer. It has coconut water it's very hydrating and will give u that barrier between ur skin and the foundation. u should give it a try :)
IrishKatieKatz I'm the same way. Dry af skin. I use two different moisturizers, and 3-4 primers. I also wait 10 minutes between each layer. So far with the millions of products I have been having less of the rubbing, absorbing foundation.
IrishKatieKatz so I use the Clinique moisturizer , mark Jacobs perfecting coconut face primer, too faced primed and poreless, and lastly the porefessional from benefit. I don't set my face with powder (or rarely with mac mineralized skin finish and I try to do a very light layer of the full coverage urban decay all nighter foundation. Hope this helps! I have very very dry skin and my makeup would be patchy and just come off no matter what but this combo has been working really well lately
Nikkia!!!!! Do you know how happy I was to see this video. I texted my husband like a little girl lol lol he is my #1 beauty supporter. So he knows my struggles and loves to watch me as a play with different looks and stepping out of my comfort zone. But it's so hard when you can't even wear foundation. But you know what I'm doing tmrw!!!!! I'll be sure to send you pics to let you know how it goes. Thank you soooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!! Your forever grateful US fan lol lol xoxoxoxoxo
Haide da chetem I'm not sure about them clogging pores, but I do know that they are very high in alcohol, so I only use them on special occasions as even though I have oily skin, the alcohol dries my skin out and then I get even more oily.
kylieD Thanks for the reply. If you don't mind me asking, how about blotting papers during the day? I find those absolutely tiny and using only 2-3 is not enough for me.
Haide da chetem Sorry, just retread your comment (I have a 2 yr old & 4yr old both talking at me too...) They actually work really well for me, I just use them down the centre of my face and find that's enough to mop up the excess oil on my face... Not sure how old you are, but I'm 39 and have found my skin is much less oily than it was even in my early 30's... still oily though 🙄I don't have as many wrinkles/fine lines as many of my friends though...
dancegurl5501 I also use RCMA, but I put it on with a brush in a stippling motion. If I use a beauty blender under my eyes, I look a million years older lol
Ok this actually helped me and just boosted my makeup. Thank you! About to head to one of the most important interviews I have ever done. Wish me luck! 🍀🙏💜
shaunda H she actually has a video just like this one but using drugstore products! I would suggest looking through her videos I think it's called "how to keep your foundation from getting oily" I'll see if I can find a link
Megan Hofland I'm not a nurse but I respect your work! Patient and hardworking. Nurses always know how to make you feel at ease. Than you for all you do 😊
I will certainly try this next time and hope it works. My face is SUPER oily 🙄 and is so annoying when the makeup rubs/slides off. Thanks for the tips I like them all 😊
I use Urban Decay eye primer on my nose and forehead. Good to know I'm not the only person that uses eye primer on other parts of their face. Never thought of using the paint pots though...I have to try it now.
What I love the most about this video was she literally didn't say anything before starting the video. She just got to the point right away. Wish more people did this :)
Gabrielle Hiller I was surprised but I appreciate the no bull-sh!the attitude. everyone always spends 5 minutes "catching up" before the actual tutorial.
Straight up 😂
Oh my god finally a youtuber with a makeup video with no stupid intro please keep it up
Haha so glad you loved the video :) x
This is really useful. I hate coming home at the end of the day and finding that my foundation has entirely faded.
Nikkia is literally the queen of oily skin hacks, obsessed 🙏🏻
So glad you are enjoying my videos Georgia
girl you don't even need foundation 😭😭😭 also, I love how you start the tutorial right off the bat and not talk for hours in the beggining 👌👌👌
i'm so glad i'm not the only one with this problem! i thought that my skin just doesn't agree with base products
Us oily girls need to stick together. You're not alone lovely 😘
A new subscriber here with oily skin. 😊
Same
I've given up on blowing my nose with makeup on lol
Haha I'm hearing ya girl 😂
If I have on makeup and my nose starts running, I put some tissue/toilet paper on a q-tip and use that to clear up my nose so it doesn't touch all over my makeup
applying transducer powder first is the key !!! I always do it now
Doesn't that make it look cakey? I'm reluctant to try it because I'm scared of looking cakey
Ella Ross as long as you don't apply a lot it'll be good!
NicRe'Noon_Beauty the only foundation that works over top of powder for me is the Estee Lauder double wear!
nooooo it doesn't get Caley at all. apply it with a damp beauty blender. trust me. I used Kat von d!! I have two videos where I tried it ... you tell me!!
dont try this product with any cream products or they'll ball up and wont blend in
You really are an oily skin guru. Besos from Costa Rica!
+lalyflow22 thank you lovely😍😍😍
You have saved my life with your oily skin hacks 😭 I can't thank you enough

+LydiaHollow oh thank you!! Maybe it was a blessing in disguise😝
Nikkia Joy yes I like it when there is minimal intro
Nikkia Joy it's working 😉
Hello Nikkia love your videos I would love if you could advise on flash back on photos. I find when I use setting powders on my foundation I can't avoid looking like a white ghost in pictures. Please help!!

You should show us the result a few hours later! Love your videos :)
I can do that :) xx
So frustrating!! No matter what I do, my makeup always smudges off when I dap, wipe, or blow my nose with a tissue.
Your foundation tricks have seriously upped my makeup game! My face is no longer cakey or dry because I'm not rubbing foundation on it. I love your technique! I am also properly moisturizing my oily face, which is in turn making it less oily and I am no longer fighting a slick face at the end of the day. Thank you sooo much!

Since watching your videos, my oily skin is no longer a problem under my makeup! Love using my paintpot under foundation 😍 .. us oily UK girls love you!
I'm am so glad I could help you lovely. #OilySkinSisters 😊😊
This may be a stupid question but when purchasing the Mac paint pot, do I match it to my skin tone? Or just buy the same exact one that she/you used?
So good to find a UA-camr with oily skin I have really bad oily skin and ever since I've started watching you my makeup lasts the whole day without coming off ! Thank you ❤❤

Hello from Ohio, USA. Just wanted to say hi & let you know how happy it makes me to be notified of your videos! You really help a lot of us with our makeup & skin, great product review, very honest & helpful, thanks again for all you do, I really appreciate it! Have a wonderful day, hugs!!!
Hi Tina! So lovely to meet you and so happy that you are part of our family here!!! It makes me so happy to be able to help xxx
Tina Carey hey me too
Tina Carey me three!
I started watching you videos a few month ago and you have helped me so much. I have very oliy skin and nothing would last on me. I had tried millions of products untill i found your channel. your videos have really helped me well helped me keep my make up in place all day. so a big thank you to you and all your tips
I am so glad that you are finding my videos helpful! #oilyskinsisters
That's the same thing my neice told me this weekend, said to do my eyes then do the rest of my makeup. I've just been use to doing the opposite, never too old to change a habit. I guess that's why my sunscreen was balling up, wasn't giving it time to set. She told me to wait at least 15 minutes then apply my primer and makeup. So far so good. Just ordered that makeup in your color, got to try it.
I've always done my eyes first, rest of my face after, I thought I was weird but good to know I am not alone!!
i tried all kinds of products and applying setting spray first worked like a miracle! no need to use setting powder ! thanks for the tip!
Yayyyyyy! So glad it worked for you!!🙊
Extremely helpful. Thanks. Do you have a tutorial on covering blemishes and their scars?
I do have an Acne coverage video and I'll have one coming on Acne scars😍
OMG a beauty guru who doesn't talk your ear off before starting makeup 😍 this was refreshing.
OMG! You have the best makeup advice! Your like an expert in the field like omg I look like a amateur next to you. I wish you could do my makeup!
Oh thank you!! I'm so glad you are finding my videos helpful!!!😍
Nikkia Joy does the rcma powder show when taking a picture with flash?
you're a genius. for using eye primer on the nose!! this has been a problem for me my whole life
That first tip doesn't apply to me who works at 8am 5 days a week i ain't waking up an hour early to let things set
Kiwi I find that if I wait more than 15-20 minutes after my morning moisturizing routine to apply my makeup, my skin has already become oily so I put my makeup on straight away. Plus, like you, I don't want to get up earlier than I have to.
Tiffany Hawkins hey Hawkins is my last name too!! :D
i usually do my skincare routine, then have breakfast, then do my makeup. that gives it at least 10-15 minutes and i find that perfect because, as tiffany here already mentioned, any longer and my combo skin gets oily in the t-zone.
I love how direct u are no wasting time. New subbie
EVERY time I use a damp beauty blender to apply my powder it looks HORRIBLE! Either it looks like actual patches of powders laying on my skin or it will look like a lace-like mask. Does anyone else experience that? it doesn't matter the foundation,primer,powder etc. Every single time I've tried (which is a lot!) it looks so bad. Great video though, I'm all about making that makeup last!😊
me too!
Megan Eastin Hi Megan similar thing happened to me a while back , but it was because my beauty blender was way to damp were it made the powder cakey. Just make sure you squeeze all the water out (:
Megan Eastin happens to me too so I gave up
Same here, I live in Florida so I feel like it could be the humidity combined with air conditioner but not sure. I've even tried using fix plus, no escape from the lace mask lol
Megan Eastin Yes, that happens to me as well. The dampness of the blender always separates my foundation, so I don't do that anymore.
The only beauty guru without any drama
So glad I found your channel! I have oily skin and your tips have been mini-lifesavers
Especially excited that you're from Melbourne too!
I glad you found me too lovely 😘.
It's funny that you mentioned using a beauty blender vs. a brush to apply powder to set the foundation because I was thinking about doing the exact same thing today as I was doing my makeup. I can't wait to try the tips u learned about in this video!
Very usefull tips and I love the fact you were directly to the point, awesome content :D,
Thanks so much Vanessa! So glad you enjoyed it😍
When I tell you I have very very oily skin and my makeup wipes off easily, this video has helped me, I tried these tips for 3 days straight and it works!! Thank You!!!!
As an EverydayGlamGoddess i appreciate all your useful tips and tricks because THEY ACTUALLY WORK❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ . The time and experience you put into your videos is invaluable to us #Oily Skin Sisters😘 . THANK YOU THANK YOU
Thank you so much Patricia! It makes me so happy to hear that you have found my videos so helpful!! Biggest smile on my face😀😀😀
I'm an oily/sensitive skin type and since sticking to the most basic skincare routine I don't even get break outs anymore and my skin isn't as red and oily. I find that the less products I use the better my skin is. I also stopped using the Smashbox primer and it's made a big difference. All I do is bake my oily areas and set my makeup with the Laura Mercier powder and this is all I need to do to stay matte for longer. In the summer I use the skindinavia spray for extra longevity. Not forgetting your Mac paint pot technique which has helped so much Nikkia! x
I'm really glad you did this again, I am finding that my nose is my issue. I'm just going to have to break down and get that mac. Love doll!
Haha unfortunately I haven't found another primer that works as well as the MAC one! Let me know how you go with it once you pick it up😍😍
I recently saw a dermatologist who literally changed my skin but also gave me good advice about makeup ahaha. While it's obviously good to have tips like this it's also good to use blotting sheets and a powder to touch up in the day. I know this sounds like common sense but a lot people think that makeup should (or lasts on everyone else) for 15+ hours and it shouldnt!(unless you are very dry) I was someone who never ever touched up my makeup but now I do it I feel like I'm enjoying more products :)
Can u make a video of the best setting spray!
For oily skin
sheree ong Smashbox primer water is amazing for oily skin!
Allie Terrill primer water is not a setting spray
IrishKatieKatz Haha sorry I got confused. But a really good setting spray is Mac fix plus!
Allie Terrill Mac fix + is NOT a settingspray either
The powder under the foundation really does work. Great tip!!! Love your videos.
It works so well doesn't it! x
Yes your videos are very helpful. I recently started showing my skin (finally lol) some TLC. I have extremely oily skin like you wouldn't believe but since I've started taking in all your advice and pointers it has done wonders to my skin! And it's only been a few days. Ugh don't get me started on the pores! But they too have minimized just by having clean skin :)
Girl, you're a life savior! I subscribed!
Wow your skin without makeup is flawless! It looks like you already have foundation on
Also I've noticed that when I set my under eyes and face with powder using a damp beauty blender, it can look patchy and like the product just totally disappeared and it's super annoying. It's so hard to have a flawless face when I do my makeup.
Thank you lovely. What primer, concealer, foundation and powder are you using? It could be possible your beauty blender is too damp as well.
beautybyashxox do you bake or just set it? I noticed if I bake too long it'll settle & look patchy too. If you don't bake, maybe use less product on your sponge
Omg Nikkia this is what I needed I notice some foundations do not last a long time.
I don't have time to wait an hour for my skin care to settle down before going work any recommendations like using certain products that are fast drying or just continue with our recommendations like setting spray, and primer 😘thank you
Try doing your skincare straight after your shower or as soon as you get up in the morning! Then do the other stuff - breakfast, get dressed, do your hair etc and then do your makeup as the last part of your morning routine! This will at least give your skincare the maximum amount of time to absorb :) xx
Thank you Nikkia 😘😘😘
I have two kids, and one of them is a toddler I work 7:30 to 6 Monday thru thurs and I wake up at 515 to do my skin care routine and get ready in peace, that to me is my time to just relax and do my skin stuff, skin care to me is crucial
Your skin lately has been goals! It's so clear, smooth and glowy, have you changed your skincare routine?
Thank you so much!! I've been using a Clarisonic daily! It's working wonders😍
I love washing, cleansing, toning my skin, then taking a half hour to drink tea and eat breakfast, then go back and do my makeup :) also, try and give your primer a few minutes to settle as well! I find that helps
So glad it works for you! Thanks for sharing😍😍😍
I love your tutorials. I have dry skin but still learn from you. these are my type of tutorials.
I'm so glad you are enjoying Ruby😍
this really is a great helpful video, thank you! if you could make suggestions on any other products that would also work well it would be soooo appreciated, particularly the MAC paintpot?
I literally love how she just goes straight into the video
For me the moment I put on setting spray it accentuates *every* single pore and bump that I worked hard to conceal with concealer/foundation!! 😩😩😩
I can´t thank you enough! I used to think I was bad at doing my makeup and it turns out I have oily skin and was not using the right type!
Can you perhaps show one day your makeup removing routine?
I'm so happy I could help you lovely. I will most certainly keep this in mind 😘
Unfortunately I wear makeup in real life and not just for videos or "events" so I can't wait an hour after applying moisturizer to do my makeup. I wash my face, moisturizer then hurry and get ready
Hi Katy! I also wear makeup in real life and in my job as a Nurse/Paramedic - so I totally understand what its like to be under the pump! What does work is shower or wash your face as soon as you get up and apply your skin care straight away. Then do everything else (get dressed, do your hair, have breakfast, brush teeth, pack work bag etc) and THEN apply your makeup right before you leave. It will ensure your skin care has the maximum chance to absorb into the skin :)
omg I can't thank you enough!! I'm so excited to try this I have been struggling non stop with makeup coming off around my mouth. I've tried everything! I'm so excited to test this out. thank you!!!! your videos are the best
You are so welcome Jessica! Please let me know how you go with it😍😍
I've tried the sandwich method on a couple of occasion but it dries my skin so bad, I can't do it for 2 days in a row, even thought I have a pretty décent skincare routine. I also use my eyeprimer for concealer and it does work!
Do you have a good hydrating skincare routine? Try adding an oil at nighttime (I really love rose hip oil!) it will hydrate your skin really well and should prevent it drying out😍
you are really one of the most informative gurus on youtube , i swear 😩😩
Aww thank you 😊
wow your looks beautiful it looks like skin , is it like that in person also? I tend to use too much foundation and its very aging ...I gotta stip doing this!!!
Yes it looks the same in person :) xx
thank you for the great tips nikkia! btw i couldn't stop staring at your gorgeous black hair, looks amazing on you 😘
Great tips!
+Barb Robbins Thankyou Barb😍
thanks so much for all the oily skin hacks, its so hard to find that sort of thing on youtube!
i love your videos! i will have to find a dupe for the mac paint pots since they're not cruelty free. :( any luck finding something similar to the paint pot from a company who doesn't test on animals?
Rachelle Balagot www.ulta.com/color-coat-cream-eyeshadow?productId=xlsImpprod5721070#
Awesome! Same here, I used to love mac but then found out they test on animals AND they are expensive lol a lot of great new brands are much cheaper now.

After I set my foundation with powder I spray my Morphe sponge with setting spray, I'm currently using Maybelline master fix. Then i press the sponge to my skin while it's still wet from the setting spray. It helps my makeup stay matte but doesn't prevent it from rubbing off. I'm oily on my chin, nose, inner cheeks next to my nose, forehead, and eyelids/undereyes! Then I proceed with blush, highlight, eye makeup, eyebrow powder (I use dip brow or pencil with my cream products, then set my brows when I set the rest of my face) and then finish off with lip liner and lipstick, and setting spray, but I prefer to let it sit and really hydrate my skin and soak into it rather than pressing it in with a sponge, I feel like the sponge soaks up the setting spray and makes it less effective than when I just let my setting spray air dry. And I never though of using an under eye primer, nothing I do helps with creasing and dryness!
Wayne Goss did a video where he sprayed setting spray onto his beauty blender before blending out each layer of foundation/concealer. Would you recommend this?
I've never actually tried it!! I can definitely try it and review it :) xx
Yes please! I would love to see if it actually works!
Nj ever since I found your channel and finding out you have oily skin just like me all your tips and tricks have helped me tremendously.....like I use every single one of your tips for oily skin...and it has done wonders for my makeup application...I literally feel you were god sent to me bcuz ever since I found you my makeup has been A-1 better so thank you thank you I appreciate you soooooo much!
Oh yay!!!🎉 I'm so happy that you have found my videos helpful!! We are #oilyskinsisters forever!👯👯
SMA don't you think she looks so much like crisspy ???
Jess Rod eh yah sortta lol but in her own beautiful Australian way :))
I have extremely dry skin however I find that my skin literally absorbs my foundation throughout the day :(
IrishKatieKatz try the Too Faced Hangover primer. It has coconut water it's very hydrating and will give u that barrier between ur skin and the foundation. u should give it a try :)
I use Mac strobe cream which is the same concept. I've tried everything :(
IrishKatieKatz I'm the same way. Dry af skin. I use two different moisturizers, and 3-4 primers. I also wait 10 minutes between each layer. So far with the millions of products I have been having less of the rubbing, absorbing foundation.
YesImaMermaid which products have you found help the most?
IrishKatieKatz so I use the Clinique moisturizer , mark Jacobs perfecting coconut face primer, too faced primed and poreless, and lastly the porefessional from benefit. I don't set my face with powder (or rarely with mac mineralized skin finish and I try to do a very light layer of the full coverage urban decay all nighter foundation. Hope this helps!
I have very very dry skin and my makeup would be patchy and just come off no matter what but this combo has been working really well lately
Nikkia!!!!! Do you know how happy I was to see this video. I texted my husband like a little girl lol lol he is my #1 beauty supporter. So he knows my struggles and loves to watch me as a play with different looks and stepping out of my comfort zone. But it's so hard when you can't even wear foundation. But you know what I'm doing tmrw!!!!! I'll be sure to send you pics to let you know how it goes. Thank you soooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!! Your forever grateful US fan lol lol xoxoxoxoxo
I worry about using a setting spray, does it not clog the pores? And your skin is totally lovely without make up ;-)
Haide da chetem I'm not sure about them clogging pores, but I do know that they are very high in alcohol, so I only use them on special occasions as even though I have oily skin, the alcohol dries my skin out and then I get even more oily.
kylieD Thanks for the reply. If you don't mind me asking, how about blotting papers during the day? I find those absolutely tiny and using only 2-3 is not enough for me.
Haide da chetem yes!! completely agree, I think they are great! 😊
Haide da chetem Sorry, just retread your comment (I have a 2 yr old & 4yr old both talking at me too...) They actually work really well for me, I just use them down the centre of my face and find that's enough to mop up the excess oil on my face... Not sure how old you are, but I'm 39 and have found my skin is much less oily than it was even in my early 30's... still oily though 🙄I don't have as many wrinkles/fine lines as many of my friends though...
Oh how lucky that they work for you. Yes, less wrinkles and fine lines is the only benefit of having an oily skin.
you are saving my life with these oily skin hacks!!!
I'm so glad you are finding them helpful :) xx
When I push powder with a beauty blender it looks so cakey. I don't use a lot of powder (I use RCMA)
dancegurl5501 I also use RCMA, but I put it on with a brush in a stippling motion. If I use a beauty blender under my eyes, I look a million years older lol
are you a wizard. your skin looks perfect without makeup
I heard about the setting spray trick but only for oily skin and I have normal to dry skin thaaaank you for clarifying lmfao
Ok this actually helped me and just boosted my makeup. Thank you! About to head to one of the most important interviews I have ever done. Wish me luck! 🍀🙏💜
this is what happens to me all these time
+Melanie Porter it can be so annoying can't it!!
Thank you for these halpful hints. What a difference it made in making my makeup last all day.
What brand of lashes your using ?
They are from my own brand🙊They are launching soon!! You can follow @nikkiajoycosmetics for updates😍🎉
That was going to be my question, too! I love the lashes! So beautiful and natural looking. Can't wait to hear more about them!
Would love to see an updated version of this
No way am I getting up at 5am just to do moisturizer 😂 15 minutes is enough time for it to set into the skin.
your complexion is amazing omg
I just want you to know that I'm super oily. Your videos have been extremely helpful! Thank you😘
I'm so glad my videos have helped you :) xx
could you do a drug store video on this too?
shaunda H YES, YES...PLEASE!! Not all of us can afford the high-end products; not me anyway. Thank you!!💕
shaunda H she actually has a video just like this one but using drugstore products! I would suggest looking through her videos I think it's called "how to keep your foundation from getting oily" I'll see if I can find a link
I love that you started the tutorial right away
It was kind of an editing mistake lol. I had an intro but accidentally left it out. Maybe it was for the best 😜
Nikkia Joy Your videos are so helpful! Thankful for #OilySkinSisters 😙
Does anyone else think she resembles khloe kardashian? When khloe had the dark brown hair color.
Scissor__hands94 same!
I'm so glad you mentioned that about the silicon primers!! I had no idea. I always wondered why my nose makeup wears off when I use pore-fessional.
+Emily Burton haha it's a really common problem! It always used to happen to me too!!
these are so help full but I do recommend using a seting spray for every layer o foundation or concealer . it makes it more natural
What other primers dont have silicone? I just got the Laura Mercier. Is that a good one?
Ana Calderón look at your ingredients list. If it has silicone it will usually have the word dimethicone.
Ana Calderón any water based primer
To faced hangover is really good and slicone free
Ashley Jester thank you! I just looked at ingredients and it says water based but also the word dimethicone. So its going back!
Mina Minče thank you!
This video was so helpful! I tried your tips out today and my make up still looked flawless in the evening! Thanks ❤️
how about BB or CC creams for oily skin? #nursesunite 😊
Megan Hofland I'm not a nurse but I respect your work! Patient and hardworking. Nurses always know how to make you feel at ease. Than you for all you do 😊
I personally don't use them as I always end up hella oily! #nursesquad 🏥💉🚑
😍 I've watched you for years!! You are so good on camera - seamless. Also LOVE your filming set up! Zoom and background on POINT ☝️
+Amanda Goodfellow Oh thank you so much Amanda!! I love that you have been around from the start😍😍
I will certainly try this next time and hope it works. My face is SUPER oily 🙄 and is so annoying when the makeup rubs/slides off. Thanks for the tips I like them all 😊
You're so welcome lovely. Try it and let me know how you go 😘
I use Urban Decay eye primer on my nose and forehead. Good to know I'm not the only person that uses eye primer on other parts of their face. Never thought of using the paint pots though...I have to try it now.
