I’m 50 and when I started watching you I had no idea how much your technic would make a difference in my foundation application. Press and buff is the way to go, I do still use a sponge when needed. Also less is more on aging skin, it makes a huge difference in my makeup. So much better, thank you
Great tips. Please do a video for us 70 year olds and under eye concealer . I think most of us have a crease problem . I have quit wearing it due to the creasing. Love your videos. And your brushes . Happy Thanksgiving Lisa
You ar so right about under eye crass. I am 70 also,and really don't have a problem w foundation creasing (I use Wet n Wild Tinted Hydration for everyday and the one u held up (Infallable) with ELF loose powder pressed in w sponge. The under eye area not so much! Going to ty using the dump sponge trick..thx!
Great tips, Lisa. I truly believe as you do that people don't let their serums, moisturizers, and sunscreen dry down before going in with foundation. Then, they over apply. You can always add, but you can't subtract. Thank you ever so much! 😊❤❤
Thank you so much Lisa! I love your foundation brush. Use it every day! I’m 69 and found settling in my lines and did the Wayne Goss method of a facial tissue over a soft sponge to lift off excess foundation before setting with powder. It worked SO well for me. All the best to you! 😻😻😻
It took until the last couple of months (I'm 38 😩) to FINALLY figure out that serious moisture, a sunscreen that works for me, and PRIMER is the secret to makeup looking natural and beautiful! I've tried a few primers and the elf putty primer is by far my favorite. And if I use traditional foundation (instead of skin tint or foundation balm), I mix some moisturizer in it and it's just been amazing! I hate the makeup look, but prepping the skin makes the makeup melt in.
Yes! I received the 101 foundation brush last week. It is SO, SO good. This am I ordered the Angie Hot and Flashy set and the Precision brush set. I can’t wait to apply my makeup with them. I have set of those very pricey Chikuhodo Hand made Japanese makeup brushes. Lisa, yours are better. Thank you for all the hard work developing these beautiful brushes.❤🎉
Joyce, I am so happy to know you are enjoying your BK Beauty 101 brush. Thank you for sharing and thank you for your support. I truly means so much to me and the entire BK Beauty team.
Hi Lisa. This is a great video. I am 56 and have some crows feet. Not too deep but my foundation (no matter which foundation I use) does settle into it. I will try some of these techniques. Love your brushes! Thank you. ❤
Great video, very informative. I love your nail polish color, could you please share with me the brand and color. Your makeup today is stunning, would you please make a tutorial video on it? Thanks❤❤
Hi Lisa, Love your channel. Your skin is beautiful but for some of us (I'm 67) I have age spots and I tend to apply more of a heavy foundation to hide them. Can you possibly give tips on what products work to hide them and then show how and what type of foundation to use that will look light and glowy. Many thanks. Have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving with your family.
Great video Another tip is to use is invisible lip liner. Apply it along the creases ...works wonders. I use the invisible lip liner all the time now and my makeup never creases .
@@susanevanko3982 it's by ELF. It's actually a wax pencil to hold brows in place ..I think Mandy Lee uses it if you happen to watch her. Shape & Stay Brow Pencil..only $3.00
Thank you for these tips! I have started pouncing the brush with foundation on my T zone and then blending down and you are so right that you don’t get to much product doing it this way. I have started spraying a sponge with my setting spray and then going over my face. I feel this not only sets my makeup but takes any extra powder away. I love your brushes! They not only make applying makeup easy they are easy to clean. I have some from when they were first offered and they look like the new ones I just purchased! Thanks 😊
Im 39 too and have found less is more- I used to be a face baker but after two kids things have changed! Can’t wait for my core line extension brush set to arrive
Thank you for this video. I bought your new core extension line of brushes, but I will have to go back and watch the video you made explaining which brush is for what again. I still haven't used them. I have to say your brushes are game changing and absolutely perfect.
Less is more for sure. I sit and watch TikTok live in the evening and I’m always flabbergasted at the amount of product people use! I can’t imagine what these folks look like up close.
Omgosh yes! My skin was so flawless in my 20s; people assumed I was wearing a ton of makeup lol 😂 I wasn’t! I’m 44 now and I cannot list all the changes my skin has gone through, even just since I turned 40 🫠😂
Your video sold me on my need for a foundation brush. I had one of the old "paintbrushes" and hated it. Now I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my BK contoured brush. Thanks!
These are all great tips. When I started applying itty bitty layers of skincare and foundation I noticed a big difference. Also I would add that it’s important to clean your brushes and sponges often.
Re: Foundation- I usually start applying my foundation from the center out- I generally only need to even out my 60 year old skin in the center of my face because of redness there around my nose, upper lip, between my eyebrows and of course, around my eyes- I then lightly feather it outwards. If I need a concealer after I place my foundation then it is very lightly applied only in those darker areas. I always use a primer for my face and an eyelid primer to keep my eyeliner in place due to hooded lids. And a very light dusting of powder under my eyes and around my nose and mouth. Less is generally more, regardless of age and wrinkles or not just because it can be built on, like you said.
I’ve said this before……I learn from you every single time- thank you ☺️ And I’m completely mesmerized by your beautiful eye look you’ve got going on😍 Xo 🇨🇦
Just Had that happen to me a few days ago. My guess was foundation was too heavy. You confirmed it. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. So enjoy all the content you provide.
Lisa, you ROCK! Thank you! I already do most of these, but I have been reticent in the past to use a brush instead of a damp beauty blender to apply my foundation... But this video convinced me to give that a try... I have the set you & Angie developed & I love most of those brushes, but I'll admit I'm probably not using them for exactly what they're intended for. That said, have you done a video explaining these?
Hello my friend Lisa, Another great video & techniques 👏🏽👏🏽. Question, what would be a good technique for eye glass wears? I know you need to work the product into the skin, set the product & do not add too much product; but how can you prevent makeup getting all over the rims of your glasses? Thank you 😊. You look amazing 🤩. Cheers 😉🌷
A mature beauty viewer. I can certainly agree with many of your points here, especially regarding the QUANTITY of make up being used. The advent of TikTok has really brought some very questionable, if not problematic techniques to the forefront that are being advanced and utilized. I don’t think many of the techniques and products on TikTok, or even in Instagram videos or anything reflecting reality of most people’s skin. It’s just ABOUT PUTTING OUT CONTENt for CONSUMPTION-NOT BEING USEFUL CONTENT. It DOESN’T have to be this way, though. I really RESPECT creators of all ages, who work hard to put out content that is useful for viewers of all ages, and not a glossy, overproduced waste of time. The microwave mentality. We have nowadays with such SHORT attention spans REALLY make us SUSCEPTIBLE to EMBRACING QUESTIONABLE CONTENT because it GRABS our ATTENTION WITHOUT TIME for the NECESSARY ANALYSIS.
Can you recommend a Dior foundation for a 50 year old woman with light wrinkles fine wrinkles and slightly dry skin? I’m wanting to try the Dior Forever Glow foundation… Thank you
Would you recommend using a beauty blender to apply foundation rather then a brush? And do you apply powder all over the face or just in areas with fine lines? Thanks!
The foundation mentioned in the drop down…. Struggle with choosing the right shade. I have cool undertones and my skin is light but not ivory or porcelain. I am 60. Can you recommend a shade for me?
Thank you Lisa! Would your tip with the powder and blender work for a powder foundation? I’m 50 now and using MAC Studio Fix. (My skin doesn’t react to it)
Lisa, I have oily skin and I prep my skin with light weight moisturizer. I use matte primers. Matte foundation or hydrating foundation. No matter what I do my face gets oily and turns orange after an hour. Any recommendation? I am ready to give up.
Love your brushes!! One question, I have combo skin, oily T zone, large pores and texture, I have tried many primers that are supposed to be pore blurring and I use the bouncing technique for those areas, how do I avoid polka dot pores? Thank you!
I'm 33 and have really creased under eyes 🤦🏻♀️and I hardly can wear any concealer, as any of it will look crusty under my eyes...even if I prep my skin there. I have oily combo skin on the face and under eyes are like desert🤷🏻♀️
I am at the point of crying right now. Im going to a fancy wedding and i need help badly. I have very dry skin and some fine lines. I cant buff my makeup into my skin bc it causes flakes and dry spots on me. This is after doing my skin care with lite weight minimal products. I have the milk primer spray i put on before the makeup. I have been tapping everything in with my fingers from skin care to foundation etc. I am so overwhelmed i feel like I've tried so many thing.
I just subscribed after I received by brush. In my 60s and completely can’t find a full coverage foundation due to uneven skin. Does anyone have a suggestion?
Haha! I have that MAC 190 brush. It causes so many streaks like you said. I stopped using it. Since it's practically brand new still, I may try to use it with powder in the manner in which you said and get your foundation brush. I like foundation sticks, but as I've gotten older it's been hard to find a good one for dry mature skin. I'm your age, Ms. Lisa. Are their any you would recommend that might just work for us? Thank you for sharing all your knowledge so we can look as good as we feel...or better.
Hi Lisa, I love my #23 brush from it cosmetic to apply foundation, which one of your brushes will have the same density that will apply foundation good as my brush does😊
Hey Lisa, another great video - thanks! Your make up is always so flawless. I'm 39 and suffer from acne after my second child (3 years) so I have a lot of scaring and pigmentation. My make up looks good when I first apply it but only after a couple of hours I start seeing the red scaring coming through. It looks cakey sometimes especially on the red spots as that's where I have more foundation/ concealer. Even when I set it, it still vanishes and at the same time looks cakey. I never miss the hydration step. I tried high end, long lasting foundations like Hourglass, Nars but it makes no difference. Help?
Try getting an Alpha/ Beta facial or peel. It's great for any acne scars. Also try using a Vitamin C serum overnight. Also great for scars & uneven skintone. My skin has evened out from doing this & have no marks now
Hi Lisa. I appreciate the tips you share, and, as a 70+ year old woman who has worn makeup since my teenage years, thought I would share another tip for how my foundation lasts and looks flawless all day; I mix a small drop of my Estée Lauder primer with about 2-3 drops of my Haus Labs foundation and then apply with my BK beauty foundation brush. No settling at all in my fine lines!
I've already adopted the tip of "using less product". You had mentioned this in a vid ages ago, do I just had to try it. I was amazed at the difference it made - not just in how the foundation looked, but also how easy it was to apply AND how long the foundation lasted!!!! Happy Thanksgiving Love you 💜💚💜💚💜
I have dark circles, bags, and freckles. I’ve never been able to do the less is more. What would you recommend with Full coverage? I use Jane Iradale tinted moisturizer along with a bb cream (trying to cover and try not to be dry) wish I could insert a natural picture for you to Grasp my problem (face)
I love these tips Lisa! I implement them every day, and they do make a huge difference!❤ I absolutely love the Loreal Infallible 24 hour Fresh Wear foundation too! Beautiful from application to removal. All day wear is not a lie!
Your videos are the best. I learn so much from them. I will certainly be using the back of the hand and buff method. All of these tips are great! Thank you Lisa. You’re a great teacher.
Lisa, your hands are so lovely! And I particularly love the eyeshadow look today. I think that might actually look good on my hooded/small lid space eyes to open them up. Speaking of which, might you toy with the idea of making a video for those of us with small lid/brow space? I never wear eyeshadow because I find with so little space to work with, my eyes tend to look too deep set. I've never seen this issue addressed by any video anywhere. (Maybe my unlucky demographic is just too small, lol.)
