    So I started binge watching your videos on a work night until 5 am. Now that I'm done with work, I'm back lol. Just allow me to say thank you so much for this video and for your dedication to really teach us. Most makeup artists will take in "theories" or "opinions". The good ones might compare one scenario to another and that's it. I've never seen anyone who continues to remove her eye makeup to show us 5-6 scenarios! Not to mention I can relate to all the patchiness and the muddiness that happens on my lids. So thank you. And you're beautiful. And you don't need any make up. But if you like it then go ahead. Why am I still typing? ok bye.

    because i don't do much eyeshadow anymore, i mainly stick with concealer and set it with translucent powder. it has always worked for me, i don't understand how people can blend with an unset base. i have tried it so many times but it always gets my brush wet and doesn't blend. i pack and then do circles, pack and then side to side, i pack and continue to pack, and i don't even use a lot. i literally use the absolute tiniest amount and let it " dry down " a little bit. but absolutely no work. matte concealer too.

      M S this might seem like A silly recommendation, but I have natural long nails and know the struggle very well LOL! Get yourself a nail brush or a soft toothbrush. Use that to scrub the inside of your nails gently. I mean the underside of your nails! You can also use a very light layer of clear builder gel and curate under a cheap LED light. And it’s like gel but super easy to use and just gives a thin layer of strength. 💛

      @@goldie4245 I know I'm late but I have oily dehydrated skin (so I need both types depending on my skin that day). I would suggest the NYX Proof it (it's clear and slightly tacky, not drying) or the Revolution Super Base (it's new in a black packaging but it is very fair like this ABH one and is very thin and doesn't dry out my lids). The other one would be Tarte Creamy Shape Tape. I hated the OG, but this version is super hydrating for lids and under eyes. Perhaps even the new KVD Good Apple Concealer. It has a super SUPER thin consistency and when I reviewed it (granted on my under eyes) it was SO thin yet FULL coverage and a natural finish so that one might be good for texture as you barely notice any product and would barely need any of those 2 concealers. I prefer primers over concealers but for super dry lids that mine can get at times then I need the extra hydration that concealer provides. Sorry for the rant but wanted to be specific 😊

    I use the Nars Pro-Prime base. It’s smooth and does an insane job. I have pretty hooded eyes and super oily lids but no creasing even after a 12-hour work day.
    Also thank you so much for your content it has helped me a lot.

    My all time favorite eye primer, Tati swears by it too, is the Wet N Wild Eyeshadow Primer. Super dope for someone with oily lids and also it sets and dries down on its own!

    can you test different eyeshadow primers against each other for drug store and high-end like you’ve been doing for concealer?

    • @PigeoneerToy
      @PigeoneerToy 2 роки тому

      Good eye primers from the drugstore: Milani, Wet n Wild, ProFusion.
      High end: Sigma, Anastasia, Esum mixing medium (doubles as a primer and will make your shadows waterproof), Kevin Aucoin, Bobby Brown.

    Thank you for a very informative video. I've been using MAC Painterly, I also cover with a bit of setting powder as well which helps blend out smoother for me. I'm 67 years old so wrinkles and hooded eye lid needs all the help it can get.

    "Can I use concealer?"
    I mean, I understand the person meant if it would look good, but technically you can use whatever you want. Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

    Elf has two different 16 hr. "camo" concealers, matte and hydrating. I use the matte one (black cap) in 1-2 shades lighter, shadow blends great. Works like a charm!

    • @rawwritsleah
      @rawwritsleah 4 роки тому +11

      Yes! I use the hydrating one because I have very dry eyes and it sets my eyeshadow much better than the elf eye primer does.

    • @stevietully
      @stevietully 4 роки тому +9

      Yes! The hydrating concealer is perfect for my under eyes and the matte concealer is good for my lids. Weird

    I love eden primer potion I’m super oily so that’s one that has always worked. NARS has one that works amazingly but it’s a clear primer so you can still see my veins under the eyeshadow lol

  • @lasshapafford

    I use a brush to put on primer. The primer I use is NYX Proof it waterproof eyeshadow primer and it doesn't look like the texture in the video. NYX Proof it sorta blends into the skin then I put white concealer on for when I'm using colors like yellows because I'm black. Anyway my question is, should I get a different primer because I feel like it doesn't do anything for my eyeshadow

    • @marleyhill34
      @marleyhill34 4 роки тому +3

      Put concealer under the eye primer in very small amounts. I hate the eye primer I have it doesn't cancel out any darkness, it doesn't blend and it can get cakey real quick. What it dies do is stop creasing dead in its tracks if you don't set the concealer, the oil from the concealer breaks down your eyeshadow or it just let's you natural lid oil through. The eye primer or translucent powder is blocking the oil. A normal eyeshadow or normal powder is not designed to block oil or moisture.

    • @marleyhill34
      @marleyhill34 4 роки тому +1

      Try a white eyeshadow powder instead of white concealer. Or I think Mac (paint point?) and Nyx do a white eyeshadow base. I think the primer is OK at stopping creasing of the shadow but yes if you need colours to pop then it's a pigment problem.

    @mellynne587 4 роки тому +13

    Yes, very helpful! Thank you! I was doing the concealer with a setting powder bc the concealer tended to crease but it does help with blending! I always find that when I use eyeshadow primer I get skipping of the color on the lid. 🤷‍♀️
