Not to be over dramatic but this quite literally blew my mind. I tried it out with one of my favorite pressed powder foundations (from Milani) and layered some cream blush on top. I have quite literally NEVER looked so radiant and flawless. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!
For some reason I completely love watching these. I tried BE when it first came out. Did it wrong. Tried it again years later.... Used LESS and now love it. Got carried away with other foundations for a few years.... And now I'm back again. 😊
So glad I found your makeup tutorials. You are amazing. I am 61 and have seen many other artists, and you are definitely my favorite and my go-to for natural, beautiful looks.
Your video popped up on my feed and I just have to say - you have the most beautiful skin. You really have that “glass skin” look that’s so popular now. You looked beautiful with your completed makeup but you truly don’t need it. Your skin is flawless. You have also inspired me to go back to my Bare Minerals! It’s been a while since I’ve used those products. You also seem really relatable and down to earth. Subscribed!
@@mrs.bartlett6047 Shelbey has a certain pure sweetness and femininity that comes across. I get that she's got a sense of humor and can be fun when she wants to.. She's definitely in her own age group but she knows how to be a young lady, and I appreciate that about her. She is calming to watch and listen to and takes her time when explaining things instead of rushing through things with crazy excitement in the show off way like a couple of other people I could name we probably all know about on UA-cam.
bluuve and I love that fact that she’s not just another UA-cam that resembles Kim k and no hate to Kim either by saying that lol just see so many that look very similar to Kim or kylie
I am so glad I found your channel, you completely changed makeup for me usually there is this stigma that it has to fill full full coverage and hide everything when u show us it can be whatever we want really
I dont use primer either! I thought I was the only person 😂 it clogs my pores alot faster when I use primer so I dont use it. Just use hydrating toner then I go in with my makeup routine. ❤
I love Bare Minerals! I wouldn't say I've quite perfected the application to look like yours, however, I also have a lot of texture, so maybe it's as good as it's going to get LOL. But you are the only one on UA-cam, who actually talks about the right way to apply it. :-)
I found you all those years ago trying to figure out how to use my BM Original and you are still my favorite! Thank you for always explaining it in a way I can understand 😍
Can't live without my Bare Minerals. I've tried other brands and it's by far the best for my skin. Having combo/oily skin at 51 I find that the oils in my skin meld with the foundation to give me a look that is flawless.
As someone who lived in Indonesia (south east asia region), with it's very humid weather, powder foundation is really wonderful rather than any liquid or cream. Especially because i have sensitive-acne prone skin. Mac studio fix work wonders on me, but it's very expensive for someone who will used it everyday. But, i'm very grateful that there's so many local brand here, produced a very good, buttery and soft powder foundation with a very cheap price. If someday anybody here going to Indonesia (Bali maybe?), go try it. Btw, i also love the Clinique one, but it feels a lil bit heavier
This video makes feel to go back to BareMinerals original foundation and to give my liquid and cream ones a break this summer. You look so radiant and fresh! 😍
I’ve been using this foundation for many years o my goodness! The only thing I did t realize or know is what u said in the video “ the more u buff, the more radiant it looks” I def have to use this foundation again. Tfs great info!!
I love these videos! I either use bareminerals or face and body and am never disappointed. If you haven’t already, try the pixi glow mist setting spray, because omg its DEWY and amazing.
I wish I had this video to watch in my highschool and uni years. I don’t even know how much time I would have saved cumulatively on my foundation routine. This is exactly what I do now at the age of 27. I use pressed powder foundation with a dense flat top brush I think from Bare minerals, and once I’m done the rest of my powder products, go ham with that fix plus. Fix plus is expensive especially if you use a lot and go through it quickly, but then again I don’t wear makeup daily, and the formula, scent, sprayer, and finished look is worth it. And it’s safe for acne prone skin.
I'm from Australia and we have a very popular mineral powder from the brand Nude by Nature. I've had it in my makeup bag for over a year but I got sick of if pretty fast because I felt like I looked powdery and my skin lacked radiance. After watching your videos I decided to try using it again and OH EM GEE, I LOVE the results! I love how airbrushed and dewy my skin looks. I realise I wasn't prepping my skin properly and I also wasn't completely BUFFING it in. I was literally just lightly dabbing it on...no wonder why it never looked skin-like. I just ordered another one today. Haha I never would've thought I'd go back to it!... Thanks Shelbey!
Flower Rose if you use face oil or a primer before applying powder foundation. It will stick to the face for a longer time. Also don’t be scared to use the flat foundation brush to put the powder on your skin. You will be surprised how the flat foundation synthetic brush also works great without powder foundation when there is something sticky on your face already like face oil or primer or moisturizer. Juice beauty primer is a very good for applying powder foundation. Enjoy the powder foundation.
Flower Rose anytime :). A few more things. If you want to make your foundation liquid. All you have to do is to put some of your moisturizer or your face oil on your hands and throw some powder on it and mix. The key is to use less powder so it doesn’t get clumpy. If you are using oil- use less oil. If you play around you can figure out the consistency. Also remember - they keep saying buffing. Make sure to not buff a lot. Mica is an ingredient in the mineral foundation and if you buff a lot into your skin. It can create micro tears in your skin, so don’t go crazy buffing with a brush on your skin because it may cause acne. A gentle brush and buff would do the trick. There are so many clean mineral makeup brand In Australia. Enjoy them :). Sorry if I have Thrown too much information on you - I am just a mineral makeup lover who is interested in figuring out the different ways to apply mineral makeup. Xoxo
@@lkaur6970 ah I didn't know over buffing might damage the skin...thanks! Thankfully I don't think i've been overdoing it. Just paying more extra attention compared with lightly dabbing it on (which is what I used to do). :)
Flower Rose no problem. I had that happened to me, I was buffing all that stuff on my forehead and I noticed these tiny bumps come out of no where and I hated them. That’s when I figured out that buffing gently is the best to do . Also just know that lots of mineral makeup has titanium dioxide in it and it’s not safe to inhale that in the loose powder form. What you can do is use a flat foundation brush to put it on your face. The powder won’t go flying in the air that way.
alima pure powder foundation looks so nice on the skin its not drying at all it looks like skin when i have it and smoothes my face without making it dry , i have combination skin and i love it
I love your videos. The Bare Minerals Foundation makes my skin itch, which sucks because it does look beautiful. Sadly I‘ve had that happen with several mineral powder foundations.
Yes you are allergic to Bismuth like me. Sweet Minerals has no Bismuth. Just ordered it and can’t tell you how it works. The products are on Amazon and relatively inexpensive.
I've been using Alima Pure loose mineral foundation for 10 years. It doesn't include bismuth oxychloride, which is what you're most likely reading to like I did. Their shade options are unmatched.
Barefaced beauty is better than them all and weirdly cheaper, lasts longer and stays on all day without shine and doesn’t irritate skin like bareminerals because its vegan and doesn’t contain bismuth oxychloride.
I so glad I found this video. I really learned a lot. I love your final look - so updated and pretty. I have dry older skin but think I can now make powder foundation work for me. Thanks!
I just barely bought @bareMinerals for the first time. I hated concealer because my under eyes always looked cakey but my dark circles are intense. A friend suggested powder. I have super dry skin but I watched your videos and decided to try bare minerals original foundation and concealer. I love it!
I so need this video and all the powder videos you linked in the description box. I'm going to enroll myself in your video school here and binge them until I feel like I've gotten my powder look half as good as yours. Thank you So Much!!
I will never stop watching your videos and powder foundation routines. Always helpfull and interesting. I learned how to deal with them from your chanel and really love them now. My favourites are bareminerals, glo minerals and barefaced beauty. Thank you Shelbey!!!
There is simply nothing like Bare Minerals original and the beautiful radiance. I also have no use for primer even though I have tried many. Also love Morphe setting spray-totally addicted.😊
I prefer powder foundation as well and either use a radiant moisturizer before applying the powder or a dewy setting spray to make the powder look more natural. Love your tutorials.
Thank you, my personal opinion is that primer isn't necessary. But definitely prepping your skin with a good wash, and moisturizer is key to a long lasting radiant finish. Long before highlighters really hit the scene, I would get compliments on my dewy complexion and it was when I took the time to prep it before adding foundation. I also would take a very very tiny amount of moisturizer on my fingers and tap it on my high points of my face for that extra highlight we ladies so covet.😄
I live near Nashville too and the humidity is real in the summer. I use all powders in summer bc i have oily skin and liquid melts off. Love bare minerals. This look is too radiant for my oily skin but i just love it. I'll experiment and see if i can make it work.
Love love the glow....looks absolutely beautiful...I really love the natural look so much better than all the glamed up...it's ok for a nite out but for everyday the way u wear ur makeup is so very nice💝💝
I love your powder foundation videos!!! I’ve stopped wearing liquids and have no joke 4 shades of Mac Studio Fix & Mineralized Skin Finish Natural powders only!! I have normal to oily skin with occasional breakouts, no large pores and very little texture if I exfoliate properly. I use a good moisturizer & illuminating primer such as the Mac Natural Radiance (radiant pink), buff one of those powders onto my skin then spray a combination of Mac Fix Plus & Urban Decay All Nighter. I’ll never go back to liquids because powder is just so much easier to work with and I find the perfect shades for my skin. Never stop doing powder foundation videos!!!!
I don’t need concealer or use it much at all, but if I feel like I need a little I actually apply it on top of the powder. My favorite to use is the Nars Radiant Creamy.
I have been using mineral foundations for 3 years now with oily skin. They never look heavy or powdery on me. They even look quite creamy. Just choose something of good quality. We don't have Bare Minerals at all inmy country, but I have local manufacturers.
Just going back to the video when i became a subscriber last 2019. I'm not really into make up so I'm really struggling. I wanted to learn the basics so i can do my own make up when i attend weddings. Your tips totally worked and easy to follow so I'm very grateful. Looking forward to all your videos this 2020. 💖
I use the Bare Minerals Matte foundation because I get oily, but buffing it does make it look natural also. If I want more of a glow I might do my regular matte and then using just a little I lightly go over a few areas, like cheeks, chin, etc with the original so I have that nice radiance.
I wear cream and liquid blush-DANIEL SANDLER’s WATERCOLOUR IN ROSE GLOW over my Bare Minerals and it works beautifully and glows and looks so natural! Thanks, Shelby!
Now that summer is on it’s way I am going to get out my Bare Mineral Makeup and see what I can do. I have all the products in one place along with the brush. You have inspired me to give it another go! Thanks 🙏
I love powder foundation and always love your tips cause you are a pro at it! A couple of things I love about powder foundation is the good coverage and the fact that it feels light and natural on my skin. Enjoyed this video! ~Connie
Thank you Shelby... I watched your in depth tutorial on this powder some time back and appreciated it. I still have not tried it and it's sitting right here with one of their pink tone powders unopened :( I guess I've not tried it as I don't even powder foundation! You have made me make the decision to open it up and get to learning this this product. I'm dry (and getting up in years) and I haven't taken the time to try it out when I'm NOT going to work.
Since they expanded the color line, I thought I would try it again. I love it! I have 2 colors and finally it matches my skin. I hv been around since it first came out & Light & Medium were never quite right. Neither was Fairly Light. I went to LM and now prefer BM. It’s the only foundation I wear & Im close to 60!
I love your tutorials, and how thorough you are. I am curious, is there a good setting spray for powder foundation? I have oily skin, and powders seems to look amazing. Thanks love
Awesome video!! I use Jane Iredale PurePressed foundation, and I love it. I can wear it matte or dewy depending on if I set it with a setting spray. I love it!
I so appreciate this.🌝 Growing up, powder was what everyone wore, way back when, and as a teenager everyone I knew wore powder, cause their mothers did and taught them. Liquids were just coming on the scene. But for blush regular women and the older grown-up girls wore real Rouge. I wonder if anyone remembers that and what it looked like, how it went on. etc.. I hate that I've lost some of those memories and the few skills I developed. Shelbey is surely one of the few who can do this--both powder and liquid, and even blend the two. Back then, nobody mixed wet & dry products. At least I got to see the evolution of makeup over a few decades. Anyway, would love to be able to wear some powder because I know if I could get the hang of it t'would be so much faster & easier than the liquids blending so much stuff, and at my age I don't want that many products. I just want the minimum to look nice daily. I don't need coverage so much as just want a little bit of a base to put other products on such as a little cheek color and then to maybe do some things with my eyes. Some people on UA-cam say contouring can be aging. I'm wondering what Shelbey thinks of that. I probably agree with it.🤔☮🤗
You look so pretty, this is a gorgeous look. I do all those steps but never thought to use a cream blush or highlight, I'll have to try it! I always put concealer down before the bare minerals. That what you'd do, or on top? I feel like I don't have the best luck either way but could be doing it wrong lol! Thanks so much for the tips! Btw....I'm hungry...I need a new food video on your other channel 😂😁 Got any good spring inspired dishes?
I tried this technique yesterday with this brush and at first it was as if there was nothing on my face but I found as the mineral powder settled on my face it looked great.
You are the queen of powder foundations. Love these videos. Powder is all I use and thanks to you I know how to apply it. Thank you. Have you ever tried Laura Mercier loose mineral foundation? Would love to hear your thoughts if you have.
Hello! I'm glad I found your channel, enjoying your tutorials. It's so refreshing to see realistic makeup looks that aren't all heavy Instagram-ish looking. 🙌
I LOVE your powder foundation videos! You are such a pro and always looks stunning 😊 I seem to fall back in love with my Bareminerals after watching. Thank you!
THANK YOU!!!!!! Have used Bare original powder for a few years and LOVE it.. looks so much better than liquid!!!! These tips are great-I do them all! Thank you so much!!
@@ShelbeyWilson yes the mac mineralize skinfinish natural..i have two shades! I use one as my base and then bronze with my summer shade! Love the formula! Mac Studio Fix powder plus foundation is amazing too for a more full coverage glam look 😘
Shelbey, did you ever try the Jcat Aquasurance Powder foundation that everyone was raving about??? I feel like I need your review on this product since you are the powder foundation Queen! 👸🏼
beats4u2 I have tried this. It is an awesome foundation, goes on like a dream and has great staying power. Unfortunately the shade range is crap. I got the lightest shade online (ivory) and it’s way too dark. I also recommend that you wait for all base products to dry completely or else it oxidises like crazy, I found it did this whenever I wore sunscreen.
I’ve also tried it, if you have dry skin at all (mines combo) it’s super super drying and looks cakey and weird in those areas especially after a couple hours. I agree about the shade range too. Pretty poor.
@@issy7465 , for sure if it had titanium dioxide, zinc oxide or the other oxides that block out the blue light it's going to react with it.. lately I got some Tinted Moisturizers, and they mostly had the chemical sunscreens in them though I don't like those they did not oxidize except the one that had some titanium dioxide in it.
Do you have to wait a little bit of time after applying your moisturizer and spf before going in with the powder foundation? I’m just curious if your skin is tacky that it will cause patchiness or skipping.
Jacqueline Ruiz I've been using powders for years and I can say you should definitely wait for your moisturizer and SPF to sink in before putting on powder foundation, it's ok if it's still a little tacky if you're in a hurry but still give it some time to soak in. If you do it like that it'll help stop the powder from applying patchy and it'll look more smooth with more even coverage, also powders look much much better with a good hydrating primer, moisturizer helps but primer really gives it a good base to stick to and if you've got dry skin a hydration primer like the Maybelline one (that's what I use, I've got dry/combo skin) will really help to prevent the powder from looking chunky around dry areas. P.s. I also make sure to let my primer sink in a little before application and I wait about 5 to 10 minutes after applying moisturizer before putting on primer so the products don't interfere with each other. Hope I helped ✌
Jacqueline Ruiz no problem! I also forgot to mention that if your prep products like moisturizer and primer haven't had time to sink in, the foundation will be more likely to oxadize and look darker than it's meant to. Glad I could help! 😊
@@phoebeblaze3668 , that is extremely helpful because it would take a lot of practice to learn that and that gives us a great Advantage going in, Thank you.☺ But, do you use a water-based primer or silicone for this? It seems as I think about it the silicone would make a smoother surface, on the other hand maybe that's not what real skin is like, and powder is designed for a real face which has its ups and downs, so to speak, real skin, I mean.
I just tried bare minerals original using a slightly damp brush and it looks great. Blends in a lot quicker. Used the same technique with studio fix plus powder foundation. Both look really good. I think I will stick to this routine and not used my liquid foundations for a while. Looks a lot better and more natural than liquid foundations. I just bought that brush from TJ MAXX for $7.99.
I love Bare Minerals !!! This look came together so beautifully ! How about concealer did you use a liquid before applying the powder foundation ? I know there are no rules to make up but just really love how this looks and going to apply your tips and techniques to my routine thank you for sharing have a fantastic day!!!
@@ShelbeyWilson Thanks for letting me know I will give this a try I broke out my Bare Minerals original foundation today and I must say i am loving it all over again !!!
You really are the powder foundation queen 👑 makes me want to bust out this old favorite and give it a try! What lashes are you wearing here? They are stunning! I almost never wear lashes (twice ever!) and my best friend is getting married in two weeks- I know how lashes can really elevate your look and I wanted to ask you since you wear them often. Thanks girl!
Shelbey, loved your technique of really buffing in the powder. it actually does look so creamy on you. your end result was absolutely gorgeous!. which setting spray did you use?
Have you ever tried the IT cosmetics celebration foundation illumination-? Jessica Braun talks about it, but you’re my powder foundation queen- would love to hear your thoughts 💕
Yes - I don't like either of the IT Cosmetics Powder Foundations (original celebration and illumination) they just don't look good on my skin and the shades always look peachy.
Taylor Palmer I use the original celebration. I love it. On me it wears really well and will last all day if I layer correctly. I use Mario Badescu sprays between each layer of makeup and at the end of the night I am always amazed at how much comes off with the makeup wipe.
I have a trick with mine. I first prime with a pore filler, then conceal using my shape tape then I set my face wth the becca aqua luminous powder then I use the bare minerals. Then I set everything with the Morphe setting spray. Game changer.
Look's lovely, I was just wondering can you add concealer or did you add concealer to the mineral powder look. I always use concealer to even out the skin under my eyes, I find I need that extra coverage :)
Hi Shelbey: I love your videos. Bare Minerals original foundation was always a favorite of mine, but stopped using it because I felt it always oxidized on my skin as the day went on. Do you find that happens, and if so, just curious if you choose a lighter shade? Just curious what shade you use also. Thanks!
Yes anything for those of us who are "wiser" would be wonderful. I think on here people think mature is 40 or 50-- well I'm talking a lot more than that ;)
BareMinerals newbie! I'm in love with it though. I feel like I am BUFFING the heck out of it. Some days it looks amazing. Other it looks just BLAH and not blended at all. Help!
I love bare minerals but I can only wear it when I’m self tanned!! The lightest shade is too pink for me, and the second lightest shade is literally my self-tan shade 💀 I wish they would make more fair + deep shades!! Annnnnd it breaks me out.. but I wear it anyways because it looks beautiful 😂
Have you tried their other shades? I always bought either light or fairly light and went to a BM counter where the assistant matched me with golden fair. It's perfect for me! Would never have chosen that for myself!
Bare minerals loose matte mineral powder foundation is my absolute favorite! I have the flawless finish brush too but can you suggest a kabuki type that you think would work too please? Thank you!
Great video, Shelbey. Could you please please please review the mineral powder foundation from lily lolo? I'm a newbie to powder foundation and own the BM original AND lily lolo. I really can't decide, what's best for me. Maybe it would be easier, if you showed us the differences?
I have rosacea with some sun spots and I use bare minerals original. I trick I do is use a cream concealer first on my nose which can be red often times and around my mouth which has darker spots and under my eyes and then apply my powder foundation on top and it always comes out flawless I just press the powder on top of the places I added concealer instead of puffing so it doesn’t move it around. Try this technique for me it works amazingly I rarely use liquid foundation anymore
Zoe Oneeva you just have to start with small amounts of powder my t zone can get oily so it never looks cakey on me if anything my nose gets shiny. If you prefer liquid concealer you could always used that I just personally prefer cream concealer
@@tracilinn9932 , very very small amounts of cream concealer for instance the kind you get in the stick form might work well under powder -- you could even also use the liquid cover/ concealer stuff, which was the first substance to have the doe foot applicator, but I'm not so sure that would stay in place.. I think for powder concealer you would need something just a little bit stiffer in its composition so it would not move when the powder was applied or else just be sure to let the concealer underneath dry completely, I guess still I'd be afraid the powder would collide with the liquid and make a mess😵🌝
@@tracilinn9932 , obviously I meant the other person could do all this, since you were also talking to her --sorry I posted that previous message under your name.
Hi! I love your natural glowy look! I was wondering if you had to pick, would it be bare minerals or cream products? I am wanting to invest in new products and am torn between the two. It looks like you are able to achieve the same look with both, which do you think is easier (quicker) to work with? As a reference, I just turned 40, I have a good skin care routine, my skin is normal (not oily or dry). Thanks!
Hello, more mature here and I really like mac studio powder as the BM made me itch. My question is how do powder foundation perform over oil as facial moisturizer?
Check my IG - I posted my full routine recently in a video on my main feed! All dermalogica except I like to experiment with different brands before applying makeup.
@@ShelbeyWilson what is IG? I hope it's not Instagram because I don't do that all that stuff is just too much for me to me/it's extremely time-consuming as it is to get over here and learn this if I only had you to watch on Instagram it would be one thing but I would get caught by my family on Instagram and then they'd be angry with me that I didn't follow them!!
I know I’m not Shelbey😊..but here are my 2 cents. The one she’s using is great! I had it before. I’ve used BM for so many years and here are 4 affordable brushes that work for me depending on the coverage I’m looking for: *Real Techniques “Easy 123 Foundation Makeup Brush”(new with gray handle and pinkish bristles)- gives fuller coverage. *Ecotools “Complexion Buffer Brush”(so soft for sensitive skin, it’s small and has a flat top)- gives buildable nice coverage. *Equate Beauty Bronzer Brush”- (looks like the huge Tarte brush)- gives fuller coverage. *Ecotools “Retractable Kabuki Brush”(great for on the go or at home)- gives fuller coverage. All are sold at Walmart for under $8 and are great quality!

There are so many clean mineral makeup brand In Australia. Enjoy them :). Sorry if I have Thrown too much information on you - I am just a mineral makeup lover who is interested in figuring out the different ways to apply mineral makeup. Xoxo
@@lkaur6970 ah I didn't know over buffing might damage the skin...thanks! Thankfully I don't think i've been overdoing it. Just paying more extra attention compared with lightly dabbing it on (which is what I used to do). :)
Flower Rose no problem. I had that happened to me, I was buffing all that stuff on my forehead and I noticed these tiny bumps come out of no where and I hated them. That’s when I figured out that buffing gently is the best to do . Also just know that lots of mineral makeup has titanium dioxide in it and it’s not safe to inhale that in the loose powder form. What you can do is use a flat foundation brush to put it on your face. The powder won’t go flying in the air that way.
alima pure powder foundation looks so nice on the skin its not drying at all it looks like skin when i have it and smoothes my face without making it dry , i have combination skin and i love it
Princess Yona it’s amazing
I love your videos. The Bare Minerals Foundation makes my skin itch, which sucks because it does look beautiful. Sadly I‘ve had that happen with several mineral powder foundations.
You're allergic to the Bismuth. Most pressed powder foundations don't contain it though. Have you tried the bareMinerals Matte? It doesn't contain it.
Yes you are allergic to Bismuth like me. Sweet Minerals has no Bismuth. Just ordered it and can’t tell you how it works. The products are on Amazon and relatively inexpensive.
I've been using Alima Pure loose mineral foundation for 10 years. It doesn't include bismuth oxychloride, which is what you're most likely reading to like I did. Their shade options are unmatched.
Barefaced beauty is better than them all and weirdly cheaper, lasts longer and stays on all day without shine and doesn’t irritate skin like bareminerals because its vegan and doesn’t contain bismuth oxychloride.
I so glad I found this video. I really learned a lot. I love your final look - so updated and pretty. I have dry older skin but think I can now make powder foundation work for me. Thanks!
My favorite video I've watched it over 50 times lolol 😂😂😂 whenever I break out my bare minerals I always watch this video first
I just barely bought @bareMinerals for the first time. I hated concealer because my under eyes always looked cakey but my dark circles are intense. A friend suggested powder. I have super dry skin but I watched your videos and decided to try bare minerals original foundation and concealer. I love it!
I so need this video and all the powder videos you linked in the description box. I'm going to enroll myself in your video school here and binge them until I feel like I've gotten my powder look half as good as yours. Thank you So Much!!
I bought a powder foundation recently and never use it and after this video I'm gonna try tomorrow ! It's very pretty !
I will never stop watching your videos and powder foundation routines. Always helpfull and interesting. I learned how to deal with them from your chanel and really love them now. My favourites are bareminerals, glo minerals and barefaced beauty. Thank you Shelbey!!!
There is simply nothing like Bare Minerals original and the beautiful radiance. I also have no use for primer even though I have tried many. Also love Morphe setting spray-totally addicted.😊
I prefer powder foundation as well and either use a radiant moisturizer before applying the powder or a dewy setting spray to make the powder look more natural. Love your tutorials.
❤️
Thank you, my personal opinion is that primer isn't necessary. But definitely prepping your skin with a good wash, and moisturizer is key to a long lasting radiant finish. Long before highlighters really hit the scene, I would get compliments on my dewy complexion and it was when I took the time to prep it before adding foundation. I also would take a very very tiny amount of moisturizer on my fingers and tap it on my high points of my face for that extra highlight we ladies so covet.😄
I live near Nashville too and the humidity is real in the summer. I use all powders in summer bc i have oily skin and liquid melts off. Love bare minerals. This look is too radiant for my oily skin but i just love it. I'll experiment and see if i can make it work.
Love love the glow....looks absolutely beautiful...I really love the natural look so much better than all the glamed up...it's ok for a nite out but for everyday the way u wear ur makeup is so very nice💝💝
You are just the queen of powder foundation! 😍 lovely
❤️ your powder foundation videos. Thanks for the tips! I do struggle with my very dry skin flaking when I buff, but I still use BM everyday...
Love your videos, always so helpful. You are the best! Thank you for helping us to look and feel beautiful.
I love your powder foundation videos!!! I’ve stopped wearing liquids and have no joke 4 shades of Mac Studio Fix & Mineralized Skin Finish Natural powders only!! I have normal to oily skin with occasional breakouts, no large pores and very little texture if I exfoliate properly. I use a good moisturizer & illuminating primer such as the Mac Natural Radiance (radiant pink), buff one of those powders onto my skin then spray a combination of Mac Fix Plus & Urban Decay All Nighter. I’ll never go back to liquids because powder is just so much easier to work with and I find the perfect shades for my skin. Never stop doing powder foundation videos!!!!
What about undereye concealer? Before or after the foundation? Thanks!
I don’t need concealer or use it much at all, but if I feel like I need a little I actually apply it on top of the powder. My favorite to use is the Nars Radiant Creamy.
I have been using mineral foundations for 3 years now with oily skin. They never look heavy or powdery on me. They even look quite creamy. Just choose something of good quality. We don't have Bare Minerals at all inmy country, but I have local manufacturers.
Just going back to the video when i became a subscriber last 2019. I'm not really into make up so I'm really struggling. I wanted to learn the basics so i can do my own make up when i attend weddings. Your tips totally worked and easy to follow so I'm very grateful. Looking forward to all your videos this 2020. 💖
I use the Bare Minerals Matte foundation because I get oily, but buffing it does make it look natural also. If I want more of a glow I might do my regular matte and then using just a little I lightly go over a few areas, like cheeks, chin, etc with the original so I have that nice radiance.
You made me buy the beautiful finish brush and now I wear my bare minerals matte EVERYDAY!
Amazing!
I wear cream and liquid blush-DANIEL SANDLER’s WATERCOLOUR IN ROSE GLOW over my Bare Minerals and it works beautifully and glows and looks so natural! Thanks, Shelby!
Now that summer is on it’s way I am going to get out my Bare Mineral Makeup and see what I can do. I have all the products in one place along with the brush. You have inspired me to give it another go! Thanks 🙏
I love powder foundation and always love your tips cause you are a pro at it! A couple of things I love about powder foundation is the good coverage and the fact that it feels light and natural on my skin. Enjoyed this video! ~Connie
Hi! I’m a new subscriber and I’m so into the aesthetic of your channel. It’s refreshing and so real.
Which primers do you normally use before this type of foundation?!
Thank you Shelby... I watched your in depth tutorial on this powder some time back and appreciated it. I still have not tried it and it's sitting right here with one of their pink tone powders unopened :( I guess I've not tried it as I don't even powder foundation!
You have made me make the decision to open it up and get to learning this this product. I'm dry (and getting up in years) and I haven't taken the time to try it out when I'm NOT going to work.
Since they expanded the color line, I thought I would try it again. I love it! I have 2 colors and finally it matches my skin. I hv been around since it first came out & Light & Medium were never quite right. Neither was Fairly Light. I went to LM and now prefer BM. It’s the only foundation I wear & Im close to 60!
What is LM?
I love your tutorials, and how thorough you are. I am curious, is there a good setting spray for powder foundation? I have oily skin, and powders seems to look amazing. Thanks love
I have always loved BE products. They are absolutely fabulous and of high quality! Will never stop using them.😍
Awesome video!! I use Jane Iredale PurePressed foundation, and I love it. I can wear it matte or dewy depending on if I set it with a setting spray. I love it!
Love your quick look, I do this regularly
This is my absolute favorite powder foundation application video ❤ Thank you Shelbey!! You are the powder foundation guru
I so appreciate this.🌝 Growing up, powder was what everyone wore, way back when, and as a teenager everyone I knew wore powder, cause their mothers did and taught them. Liquids were just coming on the scene. But for blush regular women and the older grown-up girls wore real Rouge. I wonder if anyone remembers that and what it looked like, how it went on. etc.. I hate that I've lost some of those memories and the few skills I developed. Shelbey is surely one of the few who can do this--both powder and liquid, and even blend the two. Back then, nobody mixed wet & dry products. At least I got to see the evolution of makeup over a few decades.
Anyway, would love to be able to wear some powder because I know if I could get the hang of it t'would be so much faster & easier than the liquids blending so much stuff, and at my age I don't want that many products. I just want the minimum to look nice daily. I don't need coverage so much as just want a little bit of a base to put other products on such as a little cheek color and then to maybe do some things with my eyes. Some people on UA-cam say contouring can be aging. I'm wondering what Shelbey thinks of that. I probably agree with it.🤔☮🤗
You look so pretty, this is a gorgeous look. I do all those steps but never thought to use a cream blush or highlight, I'll have to try it! I always put concealer down before the bare minerals. That what you'd do, or on top? I feel like I don't have the best luck either way but could be doing it wrong lol! Thanks so much for the tips! Btw....I'm hungry...I need a new food video on your other channel 😂😁 Got any good spring inspired dishes?
I tried this technique yesterday with this brush and at first it was as if there was nothing on my face but I found as the mineral powder settled on my face it looked great.
You are the queen of powder foundations. Love these videos. Powder is all I use and thanks to you I know how to apply it. Thank you. Have you ever tried Laura Mercier loose mineral foundation? Would love to hear your thoughts if you have.
No I haven’t! I’ve heard good things
Hi Shelby, I love it! Can I apply cream or liquid products (like concealer and contour) with a damp beauty blender after the BM powder foundation?
Hello! I'm glad I found your channel, enjoying your tutorials. It's so refreshing to see realistic makeup looks that aren't all heavy Instagram-ish looking. 🙌
Yes amen! Something soft and natural
I LOVE your powder foundation videos! You are such a pro and always looks stunning 😊 I seem to fall back in love with my Bareminerals after watching. Thank you!
Thanks so much!
@@ShelbeyWilson i do enjoy ALL of your videos 😊
Hush paired with Whisper, I enjoy your quiet duo [: & also wish BareMinerals didn't break me out, it's one of the most stunning foundations.
Try the matte version. You could be allergic to the bismuth in the original, and the matte doesn’t have it.
@@daynad8104 Thank you! I will have to try it out :D
THANK YOU!!!!!!
Have used Bare original powder for a few years and LOVE it.. looks so much better than liquid!!!! These tips are great-I do them all! Thank you so much!!
MAC Skinfinish Natural Powder is ammmmazzzinnng. A must try for anyone looking for a great natural everyday powder!
Mineralize Skin Finish? I use it in my Pro Kit :)
@@ShelbeyWilson yes the mac mineralize skinfinish natural..i have two shades! I use one as my base and then bronze with my summer shade! Love the formula! Mac Studio Fix powder plus foundation is amazing too for a more full coverage glam look 😘
Love all of your videos, they are so informative. You look like Carmen Electra in this one :) xx
Nice looks very natural
Shelbey, did you ever try the Jcat Aquasurance Powder foundation that everyone was raving about??? I feel like I need your review on this product since you are the powder foundation Queen! 👸🏼
beats4u2 I have tried this. It is an awesome foundation, goes on like a dream and has great staying power. Unfortunately the shade range is crap. I got the lightest shade online (ivory) and it’s way too dark. I also recommend that you wait for all base products to dry completely or else it oxidises like crazy, I found it did this whenever I wore sunscreen.
I’ve also tried it, if you have dry skin at all (mines combo) it’s super super drying and looks cakey and weird in those areas especially after a couple hours. I agree about the shade range too. Pretty poor.
I’ve avoided it because I’ve seen pictures and complaints about the shades!
I absolutely love the Aquasurance, but I use it as a setting powder over a stick foundation. I find this combo works best for me.
@@issy7465 , for sure if it had titanium dioxide, zinc oxide or the other oxides that block out the blue light it's going to react with it.. lately I got some Tinted Moisturizers, and they mostly had the chemical sunscreens in them though I don't like those they did not oxidize except the one that had some titanium dioxide in it.
Do you have to wait a little bit of time after applying your moisturizer and spf before going in with the powder foundation? I’m just curious if your skin is tacky that it will cause patchiness or skipping.
Jacqueline Ruiz I've been using powders for years and I can say you should definitely wait for your moisturizer and SPF to sink in before putting on powder foundation, it's ok if it's still a little tacky if you're in a hurry but still give it some time to soak in. If you do it like that it'll help stop the powder from applying patchy and it'll look more smooth with more even coverage, also powders look much much better with a good hydrating primer, moisturizer helps but primer really gives it a good base to stick to and if you've got dry skin a hydration primer like the Maybelline one (that's what I use, I've got dry/combo skin) will really help to prevent the powder from looking chunky around dry areas.
P.s. I also make sure to let my primer sink in a little before application and I wait about 5 to 10 minutes after applying moisturizer before putting on primer so the products don't interfere with each other. Hope I helped ✌
Phoebe Blaze thank you so much!! That helps a lot!!
Jacqueline Ruiz no problem! I also forgot to mention that if your prep products like moisturizer and primer haven't had time to sink in, the foundation will be more likely to oxadize and look darker than it's meant to. Glad I could help! 😊
@@phoebeblaze3668 , that is extremely helpful because it would take a lot of practice to learn that and that gives us a great Advantage going in, Thank you.☺ But, do you use a water-based primer or silicone for this? It seems as I think about it the silicone would make a smoother surface, on the other hand maybe that's not what real skin is like, and powder is designed for a real face which has its ups and downs, so to speak, real skin, I mean.
@@phoebeblaze3668 Wow, thank for this tip as well! Do you think this would also apply to liquid makeup on top of a primer?
BEAUTIFUL look. Thank you for your tips.
I just tried bare minerals original using a slightly damp brush and it looks great. Blends in a lot quicker. Used the same technique with studio fix plus powder foundation. Both look really good. I think I will stick to this routine and not used my liquid foundations for a while. Looks a lot better and more natural than liquid foundations. I just bought that brush from TJ MAXX for $7.99.
I love your content! Think I’m breaking out the BM tomorrow!
huh, bare minerals, i never would have thought about buying this. im going to give it a try
I love Bare Minerals !!! This look came together so beautifully ! How about concealer did you use a liquid before applying the powder foundation ? I know there are no rules to make up but just really love how this looks and going to apply your tips and techniques to my routine thank you for sharing have a fantastic day!!!
I didn't apply concealer with this look. I just wanted it to be foundation focused. I generally always apply it after - even if it's liquid or cream!
@@ShelbeyWilson Thanks for letting me know I will give this a try I broke out my Bare Minerals original foundation today and I must say i am loving it all over again !!!
You really are the powder foundation queen 👑 makes me want to bust out this old favorite and give it a try!
What lashes are you wearing here? They are stunning! I almost never wear lashes (twice ever!) and my best friend is getting married in two weeks- I know how lashes can really elevate your look and I wanted to ask you since you wear them often.
Thanks girl!
Omg your after shocked me. Stunning.
Shelbey, loved your technique of really buffing in the powder. it actually does look so creamy on you. your end result was absolutely gorgeous!. which setting spray did you use?
Looked like Mac fix plus.
Your natural eyebrows are fantastic.
Have you ever tried the IT cosmetics celebration foundation illumination-? Jessica Braun talks about it, but you’re my powder foundation queen- would love to hear your thoughts 💕
Yes - I don't like either of the IT Cosmetics Powder Foundations (original celebration and illumination) they just don't look good on my skin and the shades always look peachy.
Taylor Palmer I use the original celebration. I love it. On me it wears really well and will last all day if I layer correctly. I use Mario Badescu sprays between each layer of makeup and at the end of the night I am always amazed at how much comes off with the makeup wipe.
I have a trick with mine. I first prime with a pore filler, then conceal using my shape tape then I set my face wth the becca aqua luminous powder then I use the bare minerals. Then I set everything with the Morphe setting spray. Game changer.
Look's lovely, I was just wondering can you add concealer or did you add concealer to the mineral powder look. I always use concealer to even out the skin under my eyes, I find I need that extra coverage :)
Hi Shelbey: I love your videos. Bare Minerals original foundation was always a favorite of mine, but stopped using it because I felt it always oxidized on my skin as the day went on. Do you find that happens, and if so, just curious if you choose a lighter shade? Just curious what shade you use also. Thanks!
Could you please do a review on Laura geller baked powder foundation for us more mature skin ladies. 😃😃
Yes anything for those of us who are "wiser" would be wonderful. I think on here people think mature is 40 or 50-- well I'm talking a lot more than that ;)
This was really helpful, thank you ✨😍✨
BareMinerals newbie! I'm in love with it though. I feel like I am BUFFING the heck out of it. Some days it looks amazing. Other it looks just BLAH and not blended at all. Help!
I love bare minerals but I can only wear it when I’m self tanned!! The lightest shade is too pink for me, and the second lightest shade is literally my self-tan shade 💀
I wish they would make more fair + deep shades!!
Annnnnd it breaks me out.. but I wear it anyways because it looks beautiful 😂
Have you tried their other shades? I always bought either light or fairly light and went to a BM counter where the assistant matched me with golden fair. It's perfect for me! Would never have chosen that for myself!
Do you use sunscreen? What sunscreens do you recommend?
Is buffing a method for all powder foundations
WOW! Your skin is perfect! So you don't use the primer or mineral veil anymore? Trying to decide if I need to try this again.
I LOVE these videos Shelbey!
Bare minerals loose matte mineral powder foundation is my absolute favorite! I have the flawless finish brush too but can you suggest a kabuki type that you think would work too please? Thank you!
Great video, Shelbey. Could you please please please review the mineral powder foundation from lily lolo? I'm a newbie to powder foundation and own the BM original AND lily lolo. I really can't decide, what's best for me. Maybe it would be easier, if you showed us the differences?
Well lily lolo is way better for your skin
Girl you are stunning!
Your skin is gorgeous with and without the foundation 😍 how well will this work for skin with hyperpigmentation?
I have rosacea with some sun spots and I use bare minerals original. I trick I do is use a cream concealer first on my nose which can be red often times and around my mouth which has darker spots and under my eyes and then apply my powder foundation on top and it always comes out flawless I just press the powder on top of the places I added concealer instead of puffing so it doesn’t move it around. Try this technique for me it works amazingly I rarely use liquid foundation anymore
Traci Linn pressing the powder in doesn’t leave your nose looking cakey?
Zoe Oneeva you just have to start with small amounts of powder my t zone can get oily so it never looks cakey on me if anything my nose gets shiny. If you prefer liquid concealer you could always used that I just personally prefer cream concealer
@@tracilinn9932 , very very small amounts of cream concealer for instance the kind you get in the stick form might work well under powder -- you could even also use the liquid cover/ concealer stuff, which was the first substance to have the doe foot applicator, but I'm not so sure that would stay in place.. I think for powder concealer you would need something just a little bit stiffer in its composition so it would not move when the powder was applied or else just be sure to let the concealer underneath dry completely, I guess still I'd be afraid the powder would collide with the liquid and make a mess😵🌝
@@tracilinn9932 , obviously I meant the other person could do all this, since you were also talking to her --sorry I posted that previous message under your name.
Hi! I love your natural glowy look! I was wondering if you had to pick, would it be bare minerals or cream products? I am wanting to invest in new products and am torn between the two. It looks like you are able to achieve the same look with both, which do you think is easier (quicker) to work with? As a reference, I just turned 40, I have a good skin care routine, my skin is normal (not oily or dry). Thanks!
Beautiful natural look!!!
My skin is dry. Will this even work for me? I LOVE primer! I also love Bare Minerals powder. I'm so new to this powder game. Ugh
Hello, more mature here and I really like mac studio powder as the BM made me itch. My question is how do powder foundation perform over oil as facial moisturizer?
Please answer this, liquid products like highlighter/blush under or above powder foundation?
Can you do an updated skincare routine of what your using?? Your skin looks awesome!!
Check my IG - I posted my full routine recently in a video on my main feed! All dermalogica except I like to experiment with different brands before applying makeup.
@@ShelbeyWilson what is IG?
I hope it's not Instagram because I don't do that all that stuff is just too much for me to me/it's extremely time-consuming as it is to get over here and learn this if I only had you to watch on Instagram it would be one thing but I would get caught by my family on Instagram and then they'd be angry with me that I didn't follow them!!
I love your nail polish, what color is it? ❤❤❤
What other brushes do you recommend for powder foundation?
Scarlett Pereira elf ultimate blending brush works AMAZING with this foundation :)
I know I’m not Shelbey😊..but here are my 2 cents. The one she’s using is great! I had it before. I’ve used BM for so many years and here are 4 affordable brushes that work for me depending on the coverage I’m looking for:
*Real Techniques “Easy 123 Foundation Makeup Brush”(new with gray handle and pinkish bristles)- gives fuller coverage.
*Ecotools “Complexion Buffer Brush”(so soft for sensitive skin, it’s small and has a flat top)- gives buildable nice coverage.
*Equate Beauty Bronzer Brush”- (looks like the huge Tarte brush)- gives fuller coverage.
*Ecotools “Retractable Kabuki Brush”(great for on the go or at home)- gives fuller coverage.
All are sold at Walmart for under $8 and are great quality!
Thanks for this - helped me big time with my bare minerals
