That foundation is INSANE! It covered it like nothin! Very good points you made there about not going too light with your concealer (at least until you've color corrected first) and about not over blending. Those have made a huge difference in my routine. I'm sorry you've had to deal with this Emily, but thanks for making good of it and sharing with us. This is why people love you. We can always count on you to put something good and honest and HELPFUL out there.

The person that made that cruel comment needs to first work on being kind and then perhaps proceed to watch your channel. Not to mention that this person basically unleashed her/his ignorance . EMpty vessels make the most noise !There are many that make beauty videos . I dont know you personally but I can just tell that you are a kind person . YOu've never made unkind comments to people that have insulted or humiliated you. It's always been a " thank you" or a " maybe you shouldn't or should ( as is relevant in the case). Yourbody language and presentation style make us think of you as a wholesome b eauty that is a genuinely nice person that hesitates to do blog sales ( personally speaking as you once told me ), because you worry about these being used by you and you worry about people's health. You could easily make money by selling these . Im not judging people that do blog sales by the way but rather trying to assert that actions speak louder than words . It;s not just what meets the eye but what lies deeper that makes us respect and love the person . Em , hugs to you . thank you for making these videos and particularly this video where you showed us your bare face and showed us these tips . It;s very easy to say ," oh dont bother , you're an internet celebrity ". May I add that you are human too, not a stone or a saint . You have real feelings and emotions . You expressed beautifully why you have an urge to cover up melasma marks and how you wouldnt trade anything in the world for baby Belle . You are a confident , beautiful woman with the charm and charisma of a movie star but the wholesome grace and air of a true role model !

I could cry thinking about my melasma. Most of the hyper pigmentation has disappeared from my checks, but my upper lip still has a stain. My friends have told me to wax my upper lip because it gives the appearance of a mustache. It is so embarrassing and I just wanted to take the time to THANK YOU. Your makeup is flawless and beautiful. I can now walk around confident again and not wonder if people are staring at my lip. Hopefully more of this will disappear. Fingers crossed. Thank you.

I have it so bad same thing looks like a mustache. I also want to cry. It has become dakrer and now my entire forehead has huge dark spots. I am ocd with sunscreen and wear hats. I changed to a non estrogen bc, didnt help. Did you actually buy this makeup? I worry it'll look too think and make me look older. I'm 29. I tried using tretnoin a form of retin-a, did nothing but make my skin dry and peel. I have never been so self conscious in my life I don't feel pretty.

I have the same problem of having a little melasma on my upper lip. Nobody has made a comment about it ever, but I hat it as even when I have no hair there, it still looks like I do. Makeup looks really grey and dry on my upper lips too. I'm 23 and I don't know how I got it at all, because I've never been pregnant, and the only other causes are hormones and sun exposure.

I am so glad I found this video! I never had one second of morning sickness and maybe two tiny stretch marks.. however, after my second child, I didn't recognize my face in the mirror anymore. It has not gone away, after seven years. I never needed foundation before and I've been searching the wrong words (I know now), I've been watching videos on covering dark circles and acne and redness... None of which helped me. So here I am, a 40 year old makeup-dummy! But tonight I changed my word search and found you! I'm so grateful! I cannot wait until morning to go shopping for that amazing foundation, some concealers and brushes... Thank you! 😭 PS-you are beautiful with or without your makeup! Mine is a complete mask from my jaw line to my forehead, outlining my lips and eyes 😭 ❤️ Keep doing you, girl! 👍🏼😍

You know what? Emily is my favorite beauty guru. She focuses on drugstore AND high end, not one or the other. She explains clearly what she does, and how she does it. Emily gives truthful, honest, sometimes harsh but needed reviews. She interacts with us, and she shows us herself, her true self. She is professional with her videos (even though her auto focusing bugs me when it never focuses sometimes! :P), and she makes sure to do a variety of videos. She doesn't copy the normal videos that others do like the "morning routine" or whatever. Though I have absolutely no similarities with Emily, the products she recommends are always great and amazing to work with, and she never just gives ONE option, she gives many. She is the perfect example of an amazing KZfaq beauty guru. She is doing everything right, in my opinion. Great job, Emily, and thank you for these videos.

I'm so glad you made a video like this! I'm 30w4d pregnant, and I've started to notice a little discoloration on top of my cheekbones, basically the same area you have it on. It's very minimal, but I'm pretty insecure about it. I think it started developing in the beginning of my third trimester, so seeing what works for you or anyone else is very helpful! I've been able to get away with using my L'Oreal True Match, and just applying a little extra over the darker spots and using my regular under eye concealer, and it seems to be working so far. But I'm glad to know some tips and tricks in case it starts to grow and become a little more noticeable! I love that you did a video like this! Videos on beauty during pregnancy are some of my favorite - especially since I'm a first time mommy and need all the help I can get! I love learning new tips and tricks for expecting women. Thanks a bunch for this :]

I've been dealing with malasma for several years now. I've never been pregnant and my dermatologist said it was sundamage. It's not o ly sun damage but skin sun protection is the most important to keep it from getting worse. I have what's called the sunstache. It comes through looking like black hair. I'm so glad you shared, because emotionally this has really been bothering me. People used to comment on my pretty skin. Now I'm embarrassed. I've tried everything I could think of, nothing worked. They were all the things you said not to do. I will give your suggestions a try. Thank you so very much.u

Emily you are just so awesome. Thank you so much for being you , being an example of wholesomeness and honesty. And thank you for this practical video, I am not dealing with melasma but rather with sun damage. And I can't wait to try these ideas.

I have Melasma. It came with pregnancy, and it has only become darker for me. If I keep the sun off of my face then it lightens, but if I go in the sun at all, it becomes very dark. I really appreciate your honesty about this situation. I have tried so many products and none work effectively in my opinion. I will try your recommendations. Thank you for posting.

How brave of you to reveal your bare face for this video. I'm sure it wasn't easy to do. But what I love most of all is your positive attitude/outlook dealing with this issue. You may want to look into an IPL or Fraxel laser treatment if it doesn't fade on its own after delivery. Personally I had terrible hormonal acne during pregnancy and especially after delivery. Hugs, Melissa

What amazing class!! While your melisma deserves to be covered, it indeed has exposed beautiful strength of character! You obviously are a naturally beautiful woman, who most likely values that truth. That in itself would make the melisma more of a "ouch". However, as a mother of 8, I know ( you most likely do as well by now) that a child is the 1 thing that would make any side effect worth it!! I absolutely loved this vid . You covered every aspect of the problem with all the necessary details and specifics. Thank you thank you. No doubt, the integrity I saw with your handling of your detractor and sharing (for our benefit) your naked face--- you will be an amazing mother! You have, I'm sure a blessed husband and children ! I'm subbing.

Thank you so much for doing this video!! I began getting melasma from a new birth control a couple of years ago and I cannot tell you how much time and money I've spent on makeup in that time... Each time I go to Ulta or Sephora, I hope I might find someone to help me with products who knows anything about this annoying and very frustrating skin issue, but I haven't met one yet... Though it looks like I'm operating an underground makeup testing facility in my bathroom, surprisingly, I have not yet tried any of the products you mentioned here and can't wait to give them a try! And extra thanks for sharing two really practical ways to try this! Cheers!

Emily- Apply licorice root extract every evening to those spots. (I buy a good quality one for very reasonable price on Amazon) It is a documented skin lightener, and is in many expensive, high quality skin care products. (So pay less and get the far more power by using the extract.) I was really amazed how quickly it worked for me. It doesn't really every completely sink into the skin, so you do want to rinse your face when you wake up. Just gently rub it in in the evening as much as possible. It does also have a strong licorice scent (obviously) to be aware of. I personally dislike the scent but I don't care because of the good things it does for skin. I can't imagine it not working well for you, hope this helps! :-)

@Mysweetreality_ 10 жыл бұрын

I'm dealing with the exact same issue, in the very same areas. I got mine after a bad sunburn, and like u it started small & got bigger over the years. I also use the Estee Lauder Maximum Coverage, as an all over foundation & sometimes as a concealer in those areas over a light foundation. thanks for the tips, i can definitely relate, please let us know if you find any other products that work.. I will be starting a round of Carotenoids with high doses of vitamin C this week, these are supposed to heal melasma & skin damage from the inside out, hope it works

@TheFeyRa 10 жыл бұрын

If you use the Maximum Coverage as an all-over foundation, how do you stop it from gathering around the pores and transferring? Setting powder doesn't really help with the latter problem..

@Mysweetreality_ 10 жыл бұрын

TheFeyRa the key seems to be moisture with this foundation, I use my suncreen moisturizer then elf setting spray before applying the foundation & always use my fingers to get it in all the crevices of my face, I also do small sections at a time like 1 cheek, then my chin, then my forehead ect. Don't put it all over cuz it dries so fast it will not spread evenly & it will dry & emphasize pores, dry skin ect. I don't use any setting powder, I add blush then bronzer then elf setting spray again soak ur face & let air dry, it looks flawless & lasts all day, haven't noticed too much transfer, hope this helps :)

@HannahCobana 9 жыл бұрын

TheFeyRa On me the Double Wear Maximum Coverage foundation doesn't gather or anything, makes my face look absolutely flawless.If I apply it correctly. I use a Beauty Blender to apply it and before I put it on I put a very light layer of loose powder then also powder lightly on top to set it. No transfer and no gathering for me, stays very smooth. First time I used it I used way too much and it just looked cakey but I learned from that haha

I didn't go through all the comments, so someone may have already said this, but here goes. I got melasma quite young, with no pregnancy involved. It started about where yours did. It spread pretty quickly and quite far out from the corners and down on to my cheeks, like a butterfly mask only not pretty). I tried to cover it as best I could (this was about 30 yeas ago) and otherwise ignore it. Then I started hearing the same 'who gave you a beating' comments, so I went to the doctor and asked for help. There is a simple, topical Rx application that cleared it up (and in my case, it didn't come back) quickly, without bleaching agents or anything like that. The generic name for it is Hydroquinone. It felt like water dabbing it on, no tingling, stinging, any odd sensation at all. Strangely enough, it's light scent smelled to me like your hair smells in the sun on a really warm day (if that makes any sense at all). It does suggest you try a patch test just to check for allergies, but other than that, there are no scary side effects listed. It was such a relief for me to get rid of the melasma.

I have been dealing with melasma for about 4 years now, and instead of it fading away it spread from the cheeks to my forehead to my upper lip and chin!! Every tutorial I watched so far on covering them didn't really fully do so.... Untill I found this video! You made me the happiest woman right now!! thank you thank you thank you!!!!
