I love your videos, Elle. You have beautiful skin...I would love to see you do makeup on someone with truly textured skin, ie wrinkles and acne scars. I feel like I look less textured before my makeup so I know I’m not doing something right. If you have already done this I could’ve missed it. I’m fairly new to the KZfaq community.

I love that you did the steps as you explained them... soo much better than a video with someone just talking about tips. Thank you. You are just amazing x

I love your videos and tips, Elle! As a “mature” woman (49) with textured skin, you’ve really helped me find products and use techniques that help my skin look more beautiful. Thank you so much!

I LOVE the Dr. Dennis Gross Peel Pads for daily use. I use the extra strength version. It keeps my pores clean, and texture at bay. I use a heavy duty exfoliator once a month. Currently I’m using a 30% Glycolic peel, and a 50% Lactic Acid peel. These are NOT ph balanced. You must have experience with medical grade peels, so as no to cause a chemical burn. I recommend seeing your dermatologist, or nurse esthetician. They will start you off with a low percentage acid, and gradually build to stronger percentages as your skin adapts. I strongly believe in chemical exfoliants. In my opinion they keep the skin clear, and youthful. I’m in my early forties, and people believe I’m in my early thirties. Elle is amazing. She’s definitely well educated in skincare, and I’ve used many of her recommendations. I’ve never been disappointed. The only item I’ve added to my skincare routine that I was previously unaware of is an essence. My favorite, hands down, is by Tatcha. It’s a bit on the high end side, but worth every penny. It’s free of silicone’s, fragrance, phthalate’s, parabens, and other undesirable ingredients. It truly assists in hydrating the skin, and allows for optimum absorption of your other skincare products. I’ve noticed that my skin is more clear and supple since adding it to my skincare regimen. If you don’t want to invest in the Tatcha Essence try The Perfect World Age Defense Treatment Lotion with White Tea by Origins. While not promoted as an essence it works in the same manner, and it’s only $25. The ingredients are wonderful. It contains thermus thermophilus ferment extract. (TTF) is a specialized bacterium strain found in shallow marine hydrothermal systems and low-saline solfataric springs - the muddy waters near volcanic areas. Testing has found it to be particularly effective in soaking up free radicals produced by UV exposure. It also protects against dark spots, wrinkles and blemishes and is believed to prevent five years of aging with six months of use. It’s a beautiful product. I alternate between this, and the Tatcha essence. As an aside, if you’re looking for a new cleanser/makeup remover, the Modern Friction Cleansing Oil with Radiance Boosting White and Purple Rice is beautiful. It removes makeup easily, and thoroughly. It’s also an amazing cleanser. I usually us it in the morning to remove any skin treatments I may have used the night before, and oils that accumulated during the night. It cleanses the skin without stripping your skin. I’d never used Origins brand until recently, and I’m extremely impressed. I plan to explore the brand further. Farmacy is another fabulous brand. The cleansing balm and mask are brilliant. Hopefully this will be helpful to someone looking to expand there skincare options.

I used my beauty blender this morning to apply my primer today. Wow! What a difference! Thanks for the fantastic tip.

I am SO glad you covered this topic. I can't be the only one with dry & textured skin which is very frustrating since most cosmetics targeting dry/mature skin has a dewy or illuminating finish & most matte foundations/ powders are oil inhibiting. Grrr. I've had crepy texture around the inner corner of my eyes since I was a kid. I've always avoided frosted eyeshadow because it looked scaly. Actually found out just recently I have eczema which answered a lot of questions regarding my skin issues & why acne treatments didn't work. Anyways, I do most of what you demonstrated in the video having figured out by trial & error. Before there was beauty blenders I used the little triangle wedge sponges & pressed my powder or foundation into my skin to get a smooth looking surface. Beauty blenders, primers & setting/primer mists are the best innovations the cosmetics industry has come up with in 30 years imo!

Thanks for another great video. I just thought I'd add a cheaper option for powder that minimises texture is the Elf undereye powder. I use it to set my concealer without drying that area out but also to spot minimise texture like you did toward the end. I use it all over my nose & a little either side where I have the biggest problems & it really smoothes it nicely. Not many ppl can afford La Mer... maybe 1% of your viewers, if that. Something to keep in mind as I don't think you mentioned any affordable options as examples to use here but twice La Mer popped up. Much love xo

I’m a new subscriber and love how you don’t just try to sell products but actually teach tips and techniques. It’s actually a good thing to use some of the same products over and over so we know they are that good!

I’m 31 and just found you-but my skin has been SO different these past couple years and I haven’t been able to put my finger on it or adjust accordingly until finding you-thank you!!😘😘

Don’t know what I’d do without you Elle! Your tips are so helpful and I can tell how much you care about helping your subscribers. So thank you a million times! You never disappoint. 😉

Thanks for these tips. I have texture under my eyes and found that concealer and setting powders just enhance it. I can't wait to try your techniques.

Best tips ever! I hope you make it to KZfaq hall of fame. You are awesome! Just came across your channel recently.

I just wanted to tell you again how beautiful you are! You have skin that looks perfect like a baby’s perfect subtle skin!! As always, I also Love you stuff!

Can u do a video on best affordable way to get rid of texture!!!

I just LOVE your videos, i learn so much from you! Thank you!

Just recently found you. Thank the Lord above. You have just slapped the snot out of Wayne Goss for best advisor for me; this texured skin advice & how to did it. I’m ready for sleep, or I’d get up and put on my makeup now. I’m not mature, I’m 62, & old. But, now I have YOU! Yippee! I can’t wait to watch more of your videos. Thank you, dear! Season’s Greetings from a new fan in Texas ✨💖✨

Great video! I’m trying to learn what order to put my skin care products on. Thanks for your videos!!

Really glad I found your channel. Loving it and taking your advice. My skin looks and feels better. I’m considering skincare in my 40s as an act of self care and for whatever reason you triggered that for me so thank you! I’m enjoying the information and applying these concepts. Keep up the good work, Elle!

I wish I could like this 1000 times!! Everybody is about that glow and I just cant with it. I am going to miss my brush though. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Another fun and informative video for mature skin. You have gorgeous skin Elle ! Great Skincare is the most important key to flawless makeup . I wish I had focussed more on great skincare when I was younger but no worries... I'm starting now.

I have extremely textured skin from acne scars, large pores, age, etc & I tried the application tips today & what a difference!! Thank you so much!! Now I understand why highlighting always looks bad on me. I thought I was just doing it wrong.

Amazing!! It is clear that you listen to your viewers. It was driving me crazy counting how many times you said um in your videos. I left a comment for you about it and you clearly read it because I was able to watch this one without counting. I really enjoy watching you.

I think it was this video I watched where you cover how to apply serums with a sponge to avoid disturbing textured skin. Well I've been doing just that with everything, yes everything skincare related, for only a few days and what a difference I've noticed! My skin isn't super textured to begin with but apparently more so than I realized. Thank you so much for your helpful videos. I'm a devoted viewer for as long as you put them out. ❤️

I TRUELY think this is one of ur best tutorials!

I have invested almost a couple thousand dollars in products from Sephora, my skin is looking worse now 😢 I will try your technique and products you’re suggesting. Thanks Elle, love your videos ❤️

Once again another great tips video! So happy I stumbled across your channel, you've taught me some wonderful tips! I'm 46 yrs old and in the last year I've gotten real serious with my skin care. I've learned make up obviously looks much better when your skin is in good condition. Luckily I've always look really good for my age (I've been told) but it helps even more when you learn good tips! So thanks again and I appreciate all your valuable information!

Thank you. I am struggling with texture I've never had before and your techniques make so much sense.

Home run once again, Elle. Via your advice my foundation application regime begins with the Milk Blur Stick (it rocks!). My evening ends with the Dr. Dennis Gross Pads. I compared the exfoliation pads with the Dermalogica Daily Resurfacer at night followed by Dermalogica Daily Microfolient in the morning. Although both products were effective Dr. Gross Pads won. I have a lot of texture and large pores (age 62) but the Milk Blur Stick along with the pads have helped. Also, by using the Beauty Blender versus hands or brush was again proven to minimize my badly textured skin. Thanks for all you do!!!!

Love how you're so detailed! ❤❤❤

I'm binge watching all your U tube videos.

So envious of how beautiful your skin was after the Dr. Dennis Gross peel :)) That foundation though......Very helpful video! Thank you :)

Always excellent informative videos . You are an excellent teacher

Not a broken record 4 people like me who jus stumbled upon ur video. Thanks for being clear and efficient. Great teaching.great explanations

Your skin looks no different after all the layers of product. You should show this on a model who does have textured skin.

Thanks elle! I've been struggling with this a bit lately. I think my brushes may be the culprit in making my texture look worse. Back to the beauty blender. Cant wait to try these tips!

Thanks Elle. Wow! What a difference the primer made!

Loving your hair today. Luckily I don't have textured skin but I LOVE me some peel pads. I can't live without them. It's the first thing I do after cleansing in the mornings too. What gel based moisturize do you use? I learned a lot in this video like the fact that I want to try a serum concealer! Awesome video Elle. Take care!

I just got the Hello Fab coconut skin smoothie primer...I'm willing to give it a try cuz it's for sensitive skin also. I started using he Boscia gel peel & w/ my Tatcha essence (which I'm forever thankful to u...) & other skincare I've found that's working for me...I can't believe the difference in my skin! This is one of my favorite videos u have done...but I say that about all ur videos!

You were ready to head out after the primer lol. Beautiful skin. Your hard work shows

I was so needing this video! I went Monday to sephora to find something for the chin texture. It’s weird to describe. I purchased first aid beauty’s three acid mask. I put it on Monday evening after washing my face and after I rinsed it off five minutes later, my face was smooth as a baby’s butt! What a god sent! It stinks being 38! Thanks for the video!

Thanks so much for this video!!! I have a patch of textured skin on my cheek which has just come along in the past year and I've had no clue how to handle it. Thanks for making this video!!! It's just what I needed to know.

I just found your channel today and I have been binge watching your videos. I think after a long time I have found someone who I like and can trust and also you explain everything in such detail that it helps. I have used PTR AHA BHA wipes but didn't see much difference but in you skincare video you showed using the Dr. Gross wipes and I saw that you were wiping with more pressure, I would be too gentle. You detailed videos help a lot so thanks so much for doing this.

Elle, your complexion is flawless! Would you consider a video for acne pock marks please? Thank you!

Your hair is gorgeous on this video! Great information here. Subbed after seeing this one. 🌸

Excited to try this technique out when I do my makeup tomorrow!!!

Thank you so much for this video!! It is so helpful!! You are the best!!

This was a great video, I don’t have textured skin, but amazing tips for powder under the eyes using a beauty blender, I’m 54 and my undereye is my challenge. I’ll have to try the concealers you’ve mentioned, thanks so much!

Suuuuper helpful video! Love these! Thank you so much for your informative tips. Just what I needed. 💋👍

great for us more mature ladies! i used to do baking 😱

I am a 55 y.o. new subscriber! I love, love, love your videos. Thank you!!

Excellent!! Thank you Elle💕

Awesome video! I learned a lot of great techniques that I am going to start doing for my more mature skin. I love love love your channel 😍👏💕❤️

I love this video! I love all of your videos! I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m so tired of the Instagram look and the wrong information being put out there. Thank you!

What good ideas, really enjoyed your video.

Love love love this video

Wow! Your skin looks gorgeous with and without makeup. I'm curious if you've even used Urban Decay Velvetizer as a setting powder and what you think of it? I have very dry/textured skin but I also have large pores so I'm on the hunt for a powder that's going to blur and smooth everything over. The Sephora smoothing powder you mentioned sounds interesting, maybe I'll look into that. Anyway, thank you for another great video!

What a great video! ☺️ I must try that 'light tapping' motion with my sponge to stop texture (pores around my nose). Your skin looked flawless! ☺️ Super advice Thank you Elle! ☺️ 💕 Mia x

love this, this is the first video i've saved!! still on my pore eliminating journey but I'm hoping this will do the trick!! xoxo

Hi Elle! I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas 🎄!!!

I needed this!!! Thanks, I'll try out your tips! I have one area on my chin that I am always having problems with. The foundation seems to just cake up there. Thanks Elle🌺🌺🌺

I do love texture videos Elle because over forty everything has texture lol 🤗👍🏻🌸xxx

Thank you!! I have learned so much from you!! I am telling all my peeps about your videos!

Great review, your skin looks beautifull and flawless.

This is a great video. The only thing is i don't do high end.

Love your hair (and all your videos)!

Just an FYI the Dennis gross peel pads contains several irritant fragrance extracts. Also, Has a pH level that prevents its AHA ingredients from functioning as exfoliants, so, that is really not the correct ingredients for sensitive skin! It may help in the short term but long term use can cause more damage to skin than good!

Perfection! Thanks so much for the great tips for mature skin! You are awesome!

Very very helpful. Thank you

Great tutorial.

Love the tips Elle! 😘

You look beautiful without makeup too!

This was an amazing video. I learned so much! Thank you!

Elle can you demonstrate these techniques on a model that has texture? Thanks!

Great tips.. Thank you. What about blush and.. Or... Bronzer? Tap it on with blending sponge? Thanks. I have a lot of texture.. Great ideas. So thankful I found you!

First off you look gorgeous in this video ! I love your hair secondly I am more confused now than I was previously. I’m getting such mixed reviews on how to deal with texture. Some say do the illumination to deflect the texture and you’re saying don’t use it. I don’t know what I’m doing. I guess I have to try both. But I don’t have the money to go out and buy all these different products.

loved this video...direct and so helpful

Elle,about the foundation..... I have very dry skin AND texture. Luminous products show my texture but not so much dryness and matt foundations hide the texture more but make me look dry and cakey. Any suggestions?

Very informative video! Thanks so much!

Fantastic video! Definitely going to try some of these tips. 👍👍

Great tips! Thank you so much 😊 I do have texture on top of my cheeks and I will try these steps.

Thank you for this tutorial it is so useful.

Great topic and video! Thanks for sharing. :)

Thank you for another great tutorial, which really works, Elle 😘! But are you not using cruelty free products anymore..? La Mer is not cruelty free, and more expensive side too.. What other foundations would you recommend for dry, more mature skin (with little bit texture on cheek bones)? My current faves are Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue and Erborian CC Cream. But would love to find more fuller coverage, but luminous finish foundation for winter :) And you are SO right; good skin care (esp. hydrating essence, serum & moisturizer) is everything! I love Dr Gross pads too, but in winter my skin would love even gentler option. What do you think about First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads? My super affordable fave is Ordinary Glycolic Toner, but it's always sold out.

Thank you!

New follower. Just found your channel through your Sephora tutorial. Awesome tips especially for mature ladies. Thank you

Beautiful As Always!!!!! Yay I love waking up drinking coffee and watching my beautiful friend Elle!! It gets my day going!! Thanks again for a great video!! 😊😘 Elle do you know of a drugstore brand water based or serum base concealer I can use for under my eyes?

Omg I'm so delighted I found you....38 here , young looking face but good for have I got a huge forehead line and textured skin arriving in abundance :(

Great for me (age 60) with pores. Would love a Jane Iredale complexion video.

Ur skin is beautiful! U dont even need foundation. Maybe just a tinted moisturizer. I'm jealous

So is there a way to contour and highlight even if you do have textured skin?

Thank you this was a great video!! Could you think of comparing primers for mature dry skin, such as Hourglass and the Ren primer. Thank you again!

Elle, on your recommendation, I bought the hourglass Euphoric fusion blush. You were right! I love it! Thanks!

Love it

That additional blurring step with the Sephora collection powder, would you do that before or after other products like blush or bronzer?

Love the video Elle ... thanks

FYI Elle subscribers, I didn’t expect to love the new Bobbi Brown concealer for my 50yr old under eyes but it’s reaaaaally good-the only other concealer I’ve been able to use is Charlotte tilbury but it’s also not enough coverage so I tried B.B.-can’t believe it creases even less than CT and doesn’t make my eyes look dry.

I just did this with the under eye powder - wow. I was doubtful but it worked. One question - how would you set creases (around the mouth) that everything settles in? Would you treat it the same way as under eye wrinkles? Thanks!

So very pretty Elle! 💐

Great useful video Elle..love ya girl💙

Hi I've just discovered your channel and finding all your videos are so packed with best information! One question about applying primers and foundations to textured skin with beauty blenders, what about your spf creams, bronzers and blushers etc would you recommend blenders all the way and save brushes for eyes only ? Thanks and keep up the brilliant videos. Julie X
