So how many times has your foundation gone caky and creasy throughout the day? Mine has too many times to count....but it's not always the foundation's fault....it's often the application. Of course, choosing the right foundation can really help, but if you master the application with a few simple techniques, you'll have much more success, and a flawless finish.

I sometimes wear contact lenses in my videos. My eyes are naturally browny/orange, but I like to switch things up with green/blue/grey contacts. Recently I was sent some coloured contacts from a company called TTDEYE who deal with both cosmetic and prescription lenses. I LOVE THEM!!!!

FURTHER INFORMATION
My skin type is combi/dry most of the month, but when hormonal, my skin gets very oily around my t-zone. It's very unpredictable (thanks skin) and I suffer from breakouts (mostly hormonal breakouts...thanks again hormones!)

My eight year old son heard you talking about foundation while I was watching this and said he wanted to watch it with me. I was super surprised and we sat side by side watching. After a while he turned to me and asked, “Ok, so what does makeup have to do with building a house and when is she going to start laying the foundation?” 😂 I nearly cried laughing. 😂

I have seriously learned more about makeup, skincare, and application from you than any other channel I watch. So many influencers are doing first impression videos on all the new foundations that have launched. But, it doesn't matter what foundation you use if you don't know the correct way to apply it. Just BRAVO, Gemma!! PS I have 4 sponges that I keep in a "rotation", washing after each use and letting it sit up a dry in the cap of a dry shampoo spray. The best cleaner I have ever used is the Elf Charcoal Sponge cleaner. It makes the cleaning SO fast and thorough😀

Me too! I had just looked in the mirror and silently complained that I looked a little cakey today, then this notification came up! Thanks, Gemma! (And I probably used too much and didn't go over with the sponge after, because I was in a hurry. Which is fine, but it confirmed what I could do better when the extra couple of minutes are available.)

Hi Gemma. A fabulous video. From a lady of mature age (62) who hasn’t worn makeup for most of her life, you and your mum have been a great inspiration too me. I enjoy putting makeup on now but some days look better than other 😂😂. I’m still using very light foundations as I’m not confident to go for medium to full coverage just yet. I will watch this video a few times before I dive in. Thank you xxxx

@elliehumphris4074 4 жыл бұрын

Great tutorial. Before I pat the beauty blender into my skin I always give it a squirt of skindanavia finishing spray straight into the damp sponge and that really helps melt the foundation into my skin (I am 47). This seems to be the best way to get the foundation to really become one with the skin. At the very end instead of spraying my face I do the same thing and it melts my blush / highlighter / bronzer into the foundation and it makes it a) last all day and blends everything so it’s not three seperate products but just melded together. I feel good that I already (mostly) follow this way of doing my foundation as your skin looks amazing always

Another very informative video and I thank you!! My t-zone area doesn't like me as well as my temple areas. My temples will get cakey throughout the day if I'm not careful to put the bare minimum on them & then when I smile throughout the day I look like I have wrinkles that truly don't exist there. Same with t-zone so I will be taking this instruction to heart as I had always started with the middle & worked outward. I visit one of my dozen doctors tomorrow & am going to practice this before church this coming Sun. I've found I only need 1 pump on back of hand the majority of the time unless I want to build up. I'll be sure to use my damp sponge afterwards as well. I'm a pat on girl as my skin is very sensitive w/my brushes. The concealer can be a bit of a bear as I can't go up too high under lash line either. If I'm not wearing shadow then I will color correct my easy to see purplie veins on lids before foundation. Otherwise that's my only issue besides a couple of wisdom spots I've been fading over time w/a little vitamin C. I need to be careful w/vitamin C I've found! I do have a fine line, probably from sleeping on right side too much, where my cheek & undereye meet. That's tricky! I still do what you showed way back w/your mum but have tweaked it a little. Not able to find many colors lighter than my porcelain skin so I use the lightened on the double sided e.l.f. concealer/highlight even if I don't use the concealer. It brightens nicely & my face concealer is my MAC hands down so far. The RCMA is heaven & so glad I found that out from you! I've been using it to set lightly undereye & face while still barely making a dent in the bottle. I LOVE it & VERY affordable!! So I'm going to try these tidbits you've gone over here & am excited hoping I'll get a longer wear from my foundations, especially the expensive ones lol, w/out it pooping out in my problem areas after maybe 6hrs. The Smashbox oil last forever too, worth the price there. Since using oil cleanser & my skincare day/night routines mostly using The Ordinary, my complexion has gotten even more youthful. Freaking people out when they find out my age!! Thanks again Gemma for this vid & all you do! Must sound stalkerish but I think we'd be friends if I lived across the pond. Hey, you could help me find a kind, funny man as if you're this good w/makeup/skincare, he'd be a winner. Be well.🤗❤✌😜👌xx

Hi Gemma. Been a fan of yours for a while now however never had the courage to comment, until now. Today is the first day I've put make up on (been nurturing a very dehydrated skin!). I've got the same base brush as you and haven't used it for a while as been obsessed with my zoeva brush. I've followed your advice to apply my foundation today, using the revolution brush, and oh my goodness, what a difference! I used less than half of the foundation I normally would use and my face looks flawless! Everything applied so much better on top too. Only downside is it will take me longer to apply before going to work tomorrow but it will be worth setting the alarm that little bit earlier. I could never get my foundation to look this nice on top of my mineral sunscreen and now it does. So, big thanks from me for doing this video 😊 X
