Foundation, primer, base that mixes well together when it comes to oil base, water base or silicone base products. I have a feeling that some types just don't mix well when use together on the skin and it causes the foundation to break down or peel up

Hi Lisa. I've been shaving my face for years. It's fabulous for getting rid of dead skin cells. I do have dry skin. I hydrate with an essence, a vitamin C serum, Coq-10. I let everything sink in. Then i go in with my moisturizer, and finally sunscreen. I let the sit for as long as I can. You are so right. So many people wear too much foundation. I love your brushes, but for my dry skin, I do prefer a makeup sponge for foundation application. But love your bronzer brush, and your gorgeous powder blush, and I'll only use yours or Angie's eye makeup brushes. I thought baking was leaving. Ugh. I simply use your large powder brush, with the Hourglass loose powder, and use the smallest amount posdible. Definitely the unbaked side looks better. Everything you've said, I've implemented from watching you all of these years. Thank you ever so much.❤😊🥰

In my 20’s (almost 50 years ago) I used a powder puff to press loose powder all over my skin and then remove the excess with a fluffy brush. I cannot do that anymore with my older more textured skin. But I used to love the way it made my skin look. And actually in my 40’s/50’s I used Jane Iredale pressed base with a puff and then sprayed with their spray and put another layer of powder pressed on top. But I can’t do that any more either. Ugh this getting older isn’t for sissies. Thanks for speaking on this subject. I’m happy to find information on line to help me navigate this agent makeup stuff.

Lisa! Your eye makeup is stunning today. I’ve seen this particular combo in the past on you. It’s gorgeous. Could you please do a tutorial on this look sometime or tell us what you’re wearing? I appreciate the attention to detail you always put out in your videos and of course BK Beauty!! Thank you for teaching me how to apply makeup with the correct tools. It’s taken my makeup to a whole new level. 🙌🏻❤❤❤

Another great video!! Thanks! And yes a video about why foundation is breaking down and pilling like someone else said would be so helpful. One day it works beautifully and the next it looks crazy and I don’t understand why. Primer or sunscreen underneath maybe??

I thoroughly enjoyed this video! I'd love more! I'd like to see how blush and bronzer are applied because that is my biggest issue. I feel like my bronzer doesn't go on as easily or as perfectly as it should. It seems that the left side of my face has divots on my cheek that my right cheek doesn't have. I've also had a stroke with left side issues, so I may not be seeing correctly. I also want to know what types of foundation, primer, and powders play well together.

Korean cushion makeup is amazing 😊

I have dry skin and fine lines and for my eyes especially, every concealer creases… I’ve started using liquid/cream shadow that’s closer to my skin tone on the upper lids and then I take a little and smudge it on the lower line & bam! No creasing! For me the color I use is the matte sky wash from glossier in pebble (im very fair, cool toned). It just smooths everything out better than anything else and stays in place!

I really appreciated how you pointed out the differences between Brush 113 and 108 so well- I appreciated knowing why type of application motion works better for each brush and just the overall pros of each. Before I would have bought both because I had no idea which would work best for me and I’d probably rarely use them because I wouldn’t understand them. Now I would probably buy both because I see the benefit of both. I like that the benefits of each one- I like that the larger brush could help me get my foundation done faster on those rushing days and I like that the other brush is better for the press and circular motions on days when I have more time! Brushes are so confusing to someone who is just starting to try to learn to do makeup a bit better! I’m 38 so getting a late start and, while I still don’t like to wear makeup often, I’ve found I occasionally like to wear it when getting dressed up. From being more craft I get that the right tools make all the difference but I’ve rarely found descriptions that truly let me navigate the world of makeup brushes- especially when most people say “it’s a personal preference as to which is better” and leave it there. I don’t know what my preference is haha! So, again, thank you! All the tips and tricks were very helpful but the brush tutorial is gold to me! I will definitely be watching more videos to see what else I can learn about tools and tips and tricks!

I appreciate your help and explanations of application techniques. I'm 67 and dealing with lines/wrinkles, pores, and changing skin. Would like a video specifically addressing aging changing skin. Thank you.

Yes more of these. Ummm I have had very oily skin my whole life. Between that and getting older, I have large pores mid face and nose especially, and I find minimizing plus adding foundation difficult to make and keep. Any tips would be helpful. I’m currently pressing the elf putty primer with their brush in a stippling motion which helps a lot, and then barely putting any of my Sephora Best Skin Ever over the area in order to try to keep that effect.

Thanks Lisa i learned that baking as you mentioned is not good for mature skin your method is far more productive and definitely keeps us looking younger. Also your brushes are key to beautiful make up application i have almost all your brushes and just recently gave my friend a make up tutorial and she just ordered your entire brush set as i told her that buying these brushes was essential 💕

I have for years used inexpensive brushes, I decided to pick up your brushes last year. What a difference a good brush makes! They are worth the investment!

Would love a tutorial on how to line thin lips to give a fuller appearance. ❤

I love this. I did my makeup yesterday for work, but I was in a rush, soooo I didn’t let my skin care absorb as long as I should have, I tried to use more concealer so I could use less foundation and then powdered using a pressed powder and puff (way too much powder) and it looked fine initially. I use the restroom just a few hours later and am appalled at how old I look and how creasy and dry my skin looked, particularly under my eyes. Why? I broke nearly all your rules here. It really does make a huge difference to prep the skin properly and go in very light layers, in the steps you recommend. I also can not recommend enough using a setting spray or mist after you apply any powder products especially. It will make a dry, cakey, overly powdery, or creasy face melt together to look phenomenal once it dries down. I don’t even think many give more staying power but they all give a much more seamless, photo focus appearance to the skin vs skipping that step. Can’t agree more with her suggestions to avoid a day like I had yesterday… and you wanna avoid days like that😂 I only wish you would had finished your makeup because blush and bronzer, throwing in contouring in addition can also add a lot more problems, and you skipped all those.

I cannot say it enough….you are a fantastic teacher! You speak to a person, not at them. You also demonstrate what you’re talking about. I’ve watched a re-watched so many of your videos, just to relearn some helpful tips. I would love to see a new natural makeup application where you go in depth on how you hold your brushes, how much product you pick up and how it’s applied to the face. Then, it’d like to see that same look intensified to a nighttime look. You’ve done videos like these in the past; however,I’d like to see a more updated one.

Great video for makeup application❤ My biggest problem is how to line my lips….the outline has faded quite badly over the years. Second biggest problem would be how much concealer to use and what colour and which one 😊

The reason foundation is challenging is so many of us are using retinols which temporarily causes lots of uneven skin. At least that’s what I tell myself. If I commit now to changing the way my skin ages I have to deal with some inconvenience. Luckily there’re loads of great products on the market to deal with these issues.

I would love to see a video on lashes. My bottom outer corner lashes have recently been wanting to stick straight out. I use a lash growth serum and even use a specific mini wand when applying mascara to them but they are driving me crazy. They're my bottom lashes so idk how to curl them.

Learned a lot. Love the way you apply with the brush instead of using a sponge.

Enjoyed this video. Would love to see a video on how to reduce the look of crepey eyelids when applying eyeshadow. Like which formula is best and some application tips. Thanks

My biggest problem is foundation sinking into pores. Im 61 with combo skin and very large pores, tried different primers,techniques etc. and nothing has helped. I would love your opinion on this !

So educational! Great job. Love that green.

I love the NARS Light Reflecting Foundation!

I’ve been on the fence about buying good sets of brushes and I knew about the BK beauty, foundation, brushes and seeing you apply. It made sense to me and I’ve been applying it with a sponge and dotting it on. I think I’m gonna buy the foundation brush also, I thought as a 60 year old female that I had to stay away from dewy foundations but what you said made sense about the matte foundations I never thought of it that way, so that’s what I’ve learned from this video. I’d like to see lots of how to apply videos for mature women. Thanks.

I always learn so much from your videos and your brushes are chefs kiss! I use a pencil grip around the ferrule of the brush. Not only does it help protect the ferrule from getting damaged when tapping off excess, it also stops the brush from rolling off my counter.

Love the eyeshadow combination colors used in this video, perfect. Can you tell us the palette used here? PLS TY As well, the video is spot on and makes perfect sense now. Recently I have been all over the placement of trying different steps with no sure success. Now I know! When you know, ya know!

Wow….learned so much education from this video. Thank you Lisa, your delivery is spot on! Also, your brushes are hands down the best, I’ve saved so much money because now I can apply makeup the correct way. 🥰🥰👏

The Dior Matte foundation is a dream for my oily skin. I put off buying it for a long time, but when I did...holy cow was it a came changer. And yes, no to baking for day to day makeup.

I appreciate these lessons with makeup. I didn’t realize dotting foundation on the face lead to using too much of the foundation. I’m going to try your method the next time. Thanks for helping me application, it’s so important as I age.

Lisa, truly enjoyed this video and wanted to say that your eye makeup is STUNNING!!

Yes, very helpful video. My problem is very dry under eyes and wrinkles as I age. That is where I find caking with any concealer. I've been afraid to use much around my eyes, including most serums. Maybe I should be more trusting with my products. Also -- no primer? Thanks for some great pointers!

I have a problem blending my blush . I am older so I am sad to say my cheeks are falling. I have the BK brushes including the ones from Angie, so I have good tools. I find I really like the cream blush but after I apply powder I always need a little powder blush to finish. I also live in Texas, in fact just South of you so I am also dealing with hot summers. I certainly don’t want the clown look! LOL Thanks 😊

Hi Lisa , this video was great! I have puffy bags is there a way to make them not so noticeable with my foundation. I tried using a concealer but , it seems to make it worse.

These videos are great. I always learn something new. The moisturizer I have been using is pretty heavy. I have dry mature skin so I’m going to use a lighter one under my foundation. It all makes so much sense to me when it’s explained. Thank you so much❤

Thank you, Lisa! I’m going to pick up the Mac foundation you showed later this month. It does look beautiful on the skin. ❤ I learned why we don’t bake.

Great tips! Funny that you mention about less powder. I actually just bought a full size of one bc I felt like the mini was dispersing enough. Perhaps I should stay with that one instead….haha.

Lisa, I’m having a lot of problems with under eye dark circles. And also wrinkles under the eyes!

Wonderfully informative & I will definitely incorporate some of these techniques into my skin care routine as well as the makeup application. I’d really appreciate an in-depth video on minimizing lip lines. Thank you so much for all of the beauty tips and tricks you bring to women of all ages.

Thank you Lisa, I loved this video and learned a lot! I’ve been using your brushes for several years and that alone has helped and improved my makeup application. My second 101 brush is on its way as we speak. It was the first brush I ever bought from you and I’ve been thinking for some time that it would be nice to be able to rotate it when one needs cleaning. I just was texted your thank you video this morning and I appreciate that so much. Lisa, I am blind in one eye, and as a result I don’t have depth perception. I want so much to do a wing on my permanent eyeliner and always struggle with it. I would love a video on an easy way to do it. Thanks again!

Thank You Lisa for continuing to teach us/me with your knowledge in makeup, this was a very informative video that I needed to get back into makeup and remembering the Why I got into it in the first place, it’s the whole process of putting on your face, not just slapping on some makeup and out the door, it’s the skin prep that I most enjoy and once the makeup is applied you can notice the difference between giving your skin that prep step compared to just going in with your makeup. Thank You Friend. Totally enjoyed watching, hope you’ve had a Wonderful weekend. Much Love from Janelle xoxo 😘🩷🩷 Side note…So Close to 300k subscribers, I only just noticed 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️, You deserve so many more followers, especially when I see what some other influencers have that Don’t have Your Experience and Knowledge when it comes to makeup 💄, this I don’t understand. 🦋🦋

Thank you Lisa! Reminded to wait between skincare products, so they can get absorbed. Also, I need to start to use the back of my hand for the foundation. I'm still trying to figuring out how to apply the powder (brush or sponge). I saw your short video where you used your sponge, so I think that I need to watch short again and compare to this one. Thank you for your kindness and sharing your knowledge 🙏

Would love to know how to keep makeup on my nose. My nose is often red and with cold season approaching - we are blowing our nose more. How do you keep the makeup in place and/or what’s the best way to touch up? Thanks as always…love your content. ❤❤

I would love some tips for using Hyaluronic acid based serums in a dry climate. I have tried so many and they never seem to absorb properly.

Yes, You sword it perfectly! I tried the Catrice HD Foundation and it is not for those with dry skin!

Very helpful information and will use some of these tips going forward. Always uncertain which brushes are best to apply foundation, cream blush, bronzer, etc. Too many options can be confusing. Thank you for this video.

Thanks for tips I have super dry skin and now I will be buying the right kind of foundation ❤

it was helpful hearing explanation on brushes and techniques. to apply foundation.

This was such an education. Loved and will for sure use many of your tips, especially about powdering.

Great instructions! My makeup easily can look patchy, not so much cakey. I’m thinking these techniques could apply to that as well. Really enjoyed this video! Thank you!

Thank you for these tips. The products I use to love are looking cakey. I have seen myself fall into some bad habits and hopefully these will help. Have a wonderful day!

What is the best skincare, foundation, concealer at Walmart that works for dry skin with in large pores,deep wrinkles and textured skin?

Thank you for showing these technics when applying foundation concealer etc great refresher for me. Loved your eye makeup ❤

Great video…thanks‼️ I’d love your advice on spf products under foundation…how to apply, etc.

Loved this and your recent eye makeup video! I would LOVE a video on how to gracefully contour to make my forehead and nose look smaller!!

Hi Lisa, this video was fantastic!! Very informative. ❤

So so helpful! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this informative, helpful and amazing video. So many great tips. I have just started buying your brushes and Angie’s brushes and I love them. A little late to the game, but will only buy them from now on. Appreciate this video because I have dry skin and the preparation of the skin and application of products you suggested will benefit my situation. Love ya, beautiful lady. And, thanks again!

Lisa, your eyeshadow is so pretty. Makes your green eyes pop! Tutorial please ❤

This is great information, Lisa. Thank you for your videos.

He said this is been an excellent excellent video and I'm looking forward to seeing more of them hopefully also looking forward to your favorite blurring products from prep to setting spray please 🙏🙏🙏💝

Lisa. I live in Houston and we have 2x the humidity however at 62 I'm dry as a bone. So I still use the 7 skins K beauty essences and toners all hydrating then moisturizing serums and creams My biggest problem is old acne texture on my right check hollows. So I do stipple there . But indereye is always a challenge for us older mommas.

I’ve always felt like I don’t get enough powder deposited on my face when I use a brush, so I like to use a dry beauty sponge for that application. I am also used to dotting foundation all over my skin but I am going to try using the back of my hand and picking it up from there like you suggested. Loved this video and all your suggestions, especially the skincare.

This video was great….didn’t think I would grab the tips I did. I have a couple of foundations that I know I can’t rush. When I start work early certain days the waiting for skincare to set does not always apply. There’s the ones you spend time on and the get out the door ones. I’m super dry and have made the error of too much moisturizing and pill city is the result! Got some great ideas from you…so thanks!

Lisa, I love this kind of video (a tutorial video)! Thank for making it! 😊 I sometimes wonder how to put several skincare products, on my face, and still have my makeup look good - for example: serum, lotion, sunscreen, primer & then foundation, etc. Based on other things I've heard you say, I'm assuming the trick is to keep the layers thin and (as you've said), to let each layer absorb before adding the next one.

Such useful info + technique...So agree w/you abt powder: Less is more! Stunning as always!... TY Lisa! 💞

Lisa-love the color of your shirt against your skin tone & eye color 😍. I also so enjoy your tips & tricks videos however, I hope you also give disclaimers that makeup, in general, has no rules & a lot of it is trial & error on what works or doesn’t work for someone because everyone is so different! Just my two cents. I appreciated hearing your tips in this video❣️❣️ Have a great week 😊

This was very helpful…thank you and your makeup is gorgeous 😊

I’d love to know what eyeshadows you used on your eyes - beautiful! Sorry if I missed this in the drop-down. Thanks Lisa! ❤

Great advice Lisa. I have a question. Should we apply foundation over dry skin ( with sunscreen already set I mean) or over damp skin, like a primer or mist over sunscreen before foundation ? Can you clarify step by step for better results 😃. Thanks! Love your educational content.

Thank You Sooo Much for helping us understand the Why's and How To's! You're Extraordinary and Beautiful. I have recently been buying several foundations, high & drugstore! Appreciate your Techniques and more the answer. I have your BRUSHES for Face, Eye & Travel which makes ALL the difference! I Trust and recommend Your KZfaq and Brushes to EVERYONE! I'm 60's and get lots of Compliments! It's All because of You! Thank You.

Thanks for doing this. You're such a great teacher. I appreciate you !

Thank you Lisa! I’ll change the application of foundation 🥰. Love your teaching content.

I love watching your videos and they help me with my makeup. Thank you so very much.

Thank for the foundation application tips. I am 61 and have hyperpigmentation on my both my cheeks. I hoping you can do video techniques on how to conceal them. Thank you.

Yes! I use the Jill Razor

Great video! I’d love a refresher on undertones

I am a Mac girl, love love Mac!

Thank you Lisa! I always learn something from your videos.. I am still searching for the perfect foundation for my dry skin although I have a few that work fairly well. I have quite a few of your brushes and love them. They make application so much easier.

Well. Perfect information and answers. Brilliant explanation. Truly, thank you. This is incredibly helpful. Overall I do ok but this will update my look a lot. I appreciate the information. Thank you.

Lisa as I enjoy all information you give on all products you are who I truly trust about products. As recommended by you I got years ago and loved NO. 7 Light and luminate pressed powder but I can no longer find it anywhere. Do you have another recommendation for this for normal to dry skin, I am also 53. Thanks Lisa😊

Almay matte skin perfecting foundation is a great choice for those with combo to oily skin peeps. I never hear it spoken about but it is a dupe for the Mac Studio Fix Fluid foundation, but much less expensive. Expensive brushes are overrated. I have bought every high end luxury brush you can think of and I get just as much use out of my $10 face brushes. They are as soft, just as quality and durable as every single high end and luxury brush I’ve bought. Often times I get a high end brush and am so disappointed. They are pokey, shed, handles or dual end falls off. Save you money and grab a Flower, Milani, Sonia Kashuk face brush. I actually think high end eye brushes, concealer brushes (small brushes) are a better investment and where you do see a difference.

Please do makeup for dry mature skin including setting spray. Thanks

I don’t think there is a more beautiful, educated influencer on here! You are Amazing! Just sayin’❤

I’m 59 and have a lot of trouble under my eyes. I either apply too much powder or not enough. When I don’t apply enough my mascara and tightlining pencil smear under my eyes. Sometimes I apply powder under my eyes with a damp sponge. How do you feel about that technique? It really works for my crows feet. I’ll try your technique and hope I get better results. I love your teaching videos! Thank you!

Thank you for explaining everything, i need help with this 😢. I have dry skin and is winter now and I cant seem to find anything that works. I'll look through your videos and try to find some tips for sunscreen because thats the main reason my makeup is getting cakey

Really enjoy educational, tutorial type videos. Thank you.

This was so great, I realize now why sometimes my makeup does not last well. I need more help deciding what skin care products to use for mature skin. Also, how it have eye makeup on mature eyes that doesn't look like a clown. Thank you for doing these videos.

@LisaJ can you do a video on How to set your makeup so it stays on? Long wearing setting techniques please…. Btw love your videos super helpful and I have basically your whole line of brushes ❤they are my favorite 😍

Thanks Lisa for sharing the tips for foundation see you soon ❤

Love the tips! Is their a loose powder that you recommend for very dry skin? Something with a blaring luminous finish! Dermablading has been a game changer. Wish I would have stared years ago!

That was great! I'm the over powdered so thx for the side by side

Aloha from Honolulu, Lisa! This was such a great educational video for me! I am 70 years, live in a very humid climate all year long, and foundation is just too greasy and oily looking on my skin! Can you please do a video on a light weight tinted moisturizer for combination skin, and what type of powder to apply with that? Thank you, Lisa❣️

wow, i'm glad I found u! I believe you're gonna be a lot of help to me...and boy do I need help!

Love your tutorials.

hi 🌸 love your videos! Would you please post a link to the rectangle mirror that you use to apply makeup? ty ☺️

Such a great video!!! The talk about concealer AFTER foundation was new to me and I am going to try this!!! What eye shadow are you wearing and what lip stick? They are all beautiful!!

I'm 55, and I haven't found one powder I can use under my eyes or concealer, and I have tried so many, especially this year!!!! So I just use a lighter foundation and set with a little bit of setting spray by patting it on with my fingers until it dries ❤

I always learn from you. I'm 63 so yes to much powder makes it horrible. Shows all the fine lines and wrinkles! I do have a question though eith gel eye liners when gets down , is there more gel in them or throw away?

I feel as though I have indeed learned from your video. Thanks
