    My biggest makeup struggle is I always end up with black under my eyes after about 2 hours. Even if I'm not wearing eyeliner, and I'm wearing waterproof mascara. My face just does not like to keep makeup on itself.

    I used to struggle so much with eyeliner transferring onto the hood of my eye (#HoodedEyeProblems) and no matter liner I used and no matter what I did, priming, setting the primer, setting the liner, it would ALWAYS transfer. I had completely given up on liner until last month when I decided to try out the Stila Stay All Day Liquid Liner and it's literally the only liner I've ever used that doesn't transfer to the hood of my eye and it lasts all day long (as the name implies). So to all my hooded eyed friends out there, try out the Stila liner. You can thank me later.

Hooded eyelid+oily complexion problem. But these tricks definitely do help! Maybe tackle "why my foundation separates through the day?" or "how to pick colors that compliment your skintone?" or "how to look fresh with minimum effort?" love your videos~

  • @DanielleWasHeree

    yesssss this was so helpful! I'm an eyeliner girl and I always prime my eyelids and around, don't put eyeliner in the inner thirds, set my eyeliner, and just recently started powdering around the eye area. BUT, I still have a few struggles. I could NEVER find a good eyeliner for the waterline. tried a few gel eyeliners, urban decay's, rimmel scandaleyes, maybeline masterdrama, etc, and I've just accepted that black on the waterline doesn't work for me, which is such a shame because smokey lower lashlines can be so sultry! as another tip/problem, I sometimes notice little bits of eyeliner flaking off and then leaving smears on my face due to oiliness throughout the day, which can be pretty embarrassing. this is usually a hint that the eyeliner is drying out!

    • @karimamckimmie
      @karimamckimmie  9 років тому +1

    Lately, my biggest makeup struggle has been my dry, flaky patches AND oily skin. They both just happen all over my face and sometimes in the same area, so I'll be greasy, cakey, and flaky all in one spot. No foundation, powder, primer, ANYTHING seems to be helping that lately - hence, I've been going without any of that all together :)

And then a little Vaseline on the dry spots and I have seen a nice difference in my skin being a little more balanced. I still do all my regular face care routine just added doing the diaper rash cream 👍 I've also heard of other women putting the diaper rash cream over their entire face saying that it made their face clear up really well everyone is different though something that might work for one won't work for another 💞🫂👍 hope this may help someone

    Love this! I'm one with watery tearducts, and sometimes I do just give up and avoid using eyeliner in the middle third of my eye. My number one makeup struggle is my foundation caking and rubbing off on the bridge of my nose where my glasses sit.

  • @SillyWomanDiaryBlogspot
    @SillyWomanDiaryBlogspot 9 років тому +40

    My biggest makeup struggle (aside from the ones you mentioned here...weepy eyes/tearduct mess...holla!) is with my eyeshadow. I have hooded lids and, typically, by lunchtime my eyeshadow is just a mottled, splotchy, all-blended-into-one-shade mess. I've tried so many different primers (including the one you used in this video) but haven't tried setting the primer. That may be the missing step I've been looking for, but I was wondering if you had any primer recommendations specifically for hooded lids since that does bring an added degree of difficulty to the whole smudge prevention thing. Thanks!!

    • @rachd4794
      @rachd4794 9 років тому +1

      Not sure where you live and if you can get it, but I've heard that the Wet n Wild Fergie one is good for hooded and/or oily lids. A lot of people think it's better than the Nars Pro Prime which is a popular one. And it's super affordable too!

    • @ricecakesforlife
      @ricecakesforlife 9 років тому +4

      I have oily hooded lids like you and I think there's not much we can do about our oils rubbing together when we blink! But I do think the Nars pro prime is great and I also think applying the shadow in really thin layers helps. No packing on a ton of eyeshadow!

      @SillyWomanDiaryBlogspot 8 років тому

      I liked the NYX primer. My lid color didn't hold up quite as well as the crease, outer V and transition colors, but it is definitely and improvement. I couldn't get the new Makeup Geek matte shadows to last more than a couple of hours before, but with this primer (and the flesh tone eyeshadow on top) they have lasted all day! Thanks for the suggestion!

    SHRIEK thank you soooooo much for making this vid! The struggle is real! My biggest problem is not wee pines/watering at the inner corner, but at the outer corner, and always the left eye, sometimes both. Not a single liner I have tried has been able to withstand the tears, and it's INCREDIBLY frustrating to have a big black blob above my eye and no wing on one side by the time I get to work. Grrrrrrr!!! I'm going to try your tips on priming & setting again, and see if they help...love you. That lippie suits you so well, btw.

    I'm horrible at using eyeliner, because I just can't get the line right. Maybe it's the shape of my eye, I don't know. Eyeliner, specifically cat eye just doesn't suit me. But my biggest struggle is actually with mascara. I can't use waterproof mascara, so I have to do with a regular one. The thing is no matter what mascara I use, every time I use it on my lower lashes and then go outside (which I do, because I don't wear makeup at home :D), my eyes just get very watery (is that a word?) and my mascara smudges every time in the outer corners of my eyes. If I go outside and don't have mascara on, my eyes act normal, but with mascara on... horrible. I really enjoy your videos, Karima!

    My struggle is Very dark under eye circles & Creasey prone under eye area & even though I colour correct & conceal & set with powder I still feel it fades throughout the day & also settles into my laugh lines, not cute!!

    My biggest makeup struggle of all time is creasing eyeshadow (and the eye area in general). No matter what primer I use, my eyeshadow will crease after a couple of hours! It would be awesome if you could talk about that in a video :)

      +Karima McKimmie I've tried UD primer potion (3 different ones), Catrice, Mac paint pots, Essence. The problem is, I have one hooded eyelid (yep, only one:) and by the end of the day it looks like I put eyeshadow only on one eye, which is so very frustrating.

    great series idea! my biggest makeup struggle is getting my foundation/concealer to last on my nose. i have tried al sort of skin care, primers, formulas of creams, liquids and powders and so far i have yet to find the perfect combo for my skin. any tips would be greatly appreciated!

  • @an__g_o
    @an__g_o 9 років тому +1

    Lovely, as always, and a very informative video, as always!
    My number one makeup struggleS are:
    a) similar to the last point you mentioned, very watery inner tear ducts -especially when messed with- so forget eyeliner, I can't even lay down eye shadow on my eyelid evenly as it smudges and creates this disgusting kinda film...and even if I dry it and set with powder and try to cover it, this patch does NOT go away...It frustrates me so much that whenever it happens I completely remove all of my eye makeup completely... and
    b)for the life of me I cannot get my foundation not to crease around my nose...Doesn't matter what I do...Thin layers, thick layers, primers, no primers, powder, no powder...You get the gist...I have kinda concluded that my nostrils just flare out too much and since the skin meets very closely there is no way to avoid it...But if we could sort that out, I'd be jumping circles!
    I'm not even gonna go into the impossible oil sleek that is my skin that causes foundation, blush and everything else on my face to NEVER EVER stay in place for more than 2 hours, cause I have looked up and tried every trick in the book and it's just one of those facts of life that I have to accept once and for all...ugh...such a shame to have oily skin when you love makeup, cause all your careful and detailed work goes to waste...*sadsadsad*

    My biggest struggle is making sure my eyeshadow does not fade. Everything else on my face hangs tough, but my eyeshadow fades and all my placement/blending turns into one smoosh of a collection of all the colors I have placed on my eyes. Keep in mind I prime and set my eyes first, and still I get the Big Fade.

I don't know if it's just because my lips are on the bigger end or what, but I ALWAYS get a rim around my lips where the lipstick has stayed on on the outside but is completely gone on the inside and makes me look like I'm just wearing lip liner. Awkward.

    LOVE THIS!! HELP PLEASE?
    My question is WHAT IS THE BEST WAT TO HYDRATE DRY EYELIDS??? Very emollient eye creams are too heavy on eyelids but putting even a paint pot on is like foundation catching on dry skin causing a scaly start that ruins any eye look! Also, when I put ANY powder under my Eve's or on lids to set primer, it looks like I'm as dry as a MUMMY!! ARRRRGH HEEEELP!

    • @rachd4794
      @rachd4794 9 років тому +2

      Really moisturize your lids the night before. The next day, wear something lighter. And wait for it to absorb and set before putting primer on. And if your under eyes look cakey from powder, use less or try a different powder. One that is finely milled and not drying.

So annoying!

    • @liannascrimger8624
      @liannascrimger8624 5 років тому

      try a colour correcting fluid like the ones from urban decay. You will want something with a green tone to counter-act the redness. I know it sounds odd to put green on your face but trust me it works to cancel out the red.

    Being 37 yrs old, the biggest issue is undereyes looking dry - have to set concealer as it'll crease and powders (i.e charlotte tillbury airflash flawless, laura mercier secret brightening powder) make the undereyes look dryer and the lines are more apparent than without makeup- slightly improved the situation with la mer eye serum followed by la mer eye gel (which smoothes like a primer)
