[bbcakez3]

[Bowiegirl75]

[Koteshik]

Good Vids!!! I like your channel very much!!! Very useful!!!***

[SuperMOM310]

You are really good at explaining things!

[drummercc]

i really cant wait for your bac2basics wet application of powder foundation! please upload soon! :]

[ollicehunter]

For really oily skin (like mine!), do you think I could set my powder foundation with a loose powder, and then use a setting spray after that...or would that be too much powder? Thanks!

[ONLYFABULUS]

Thx for the cool techniques again!! ~~<3

[deederrs]

Thanks for the great tips and help!

[reddove1952]

Koren, if a person only wanted 6 makeup brushes and could not afford the upper scale ones such as Mac-which types of brushes would you recommend and which brands.

Thanks!

[azLizJane]

Thank you! This was very helpful.

[RaineRoque]

Your a filipino?

you said salamat :p

[iridessa808]

Hi Koren, I am new to makeup and have a question. What is the best brush to use with MAC Studio Fix Foundation? Or should I use the ponge thing that comes with it? Mahalo.

[Amira85S]

Very informative tutorial, thank you, Koren! I have a question: does the mineral powder foundation oxidize as well?

[misanders1]

Thanks for these back to basics. I have oily skin and my foundation has always slipped off, I think its because I rush through all the steps. I wish I had learned this stuff when I first started wearing makeup. And oxidizing, that always happens to me. Thanks again!

[iducki]

just an fyi: :) You have really pretty hands

[murry219]

great tip!!!!!!!!!!! 

[sillybres]

thanks so much! I love your videos because you give so much helpful information!

[ollicehunter]

When I apply powder foundation, it doesn't look powdery at all when I'm through. Therefore, I set it with a translucent loose powder with a powder puff. When I use a spray, sure, it might make it look a little more stain and less matte, but I also get oily faster. Thoughts?

[ShiniRyuk]

Love your work, Koren, and I think I love your intro even more! It cracks me up. ;)

Do you think at some point you could do a makeup tutorial for people who have one eye that is a tiny bit smaller than the other? I don't know how to get the right balance to make them look even in size.

Keep up the great work! Powder foundation has always been tricky for me.

[TRESandpiper]

This was extremely informative!!!

[MercedesGames]

Is it just me or does the darker of the two foundations...look like it went on the orangy side...[contouring powder side..].....looks that way in the palette too..

Nice coverage though..Just curious..Is that the camera..or mine maybe..lol..;D

[qweaz987]

Does this apply for mineral foundation?

[aprilsanaa]

will that primer cause acne for acne prone skin???

[misstickels3]

Love you Koren...I have two tones on my skin...my four head is darker than the rest of my face How should i go about and picking my powder foundation? should i buy two one light and one dark please help!

[festivalvirgin]

Thank you so much for all your videos. Kind regards from Spain!

[Monycadg]

Hi Enkore powder foundation its like compact foundation?

[gabriel7840815]

ang galing galing mo po!!! i added u on facebook i rili like u!!! MORE POWER!!!

[cabfitz]

Interesting - I never would have thought to use a regular foundation brush for a powder foundation - but it turned out very nice! And now I know why my powder foundation is a little dark for me! Very helpful video!!!

[jayxxbee]

Thank you for this video! I've never been able to use powdered foundation because I didn't know exactly how to apply it as it always turned out to look patchy... thanks for the tip, I will try a primer. :)

[lookn4smitty]

Lots of great info! I learned a ton...as always when watching your videos!!!

[r9m24]

I had no idea powder foundation oxidizes too! I thought only liquid did. Thanks for the GREAT info!

[wickedenchantress36]

I find your videos so helpful. I have a question. If you use a liquid or cream foundation and a powder foundation like mac studio fix . Can you use the stipple and swirl method with fix plus to get rid of the powdery look ?

[afroqueen8807]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your tutorials Enkore!!!!!

[deniseallives]

Koren, are you Filipino?

[KaTNguyen84]

I noticed that the CoverFX Skin Prep was a yellow color. Does it go on clear? Also, is there a decent smell to it? Thanks!

[MsVersZsatile]

Another fantastic video. I am one of the mature skin candidates .°0) Thumbs up for all your videos !!!

[Azlaier]

Love it! Do you like mineral foundation?

[nino1nino]

Is the primer ideal for a 21 year old?

Which one do you recommend for younger individuals? I'm combination oily by the way thank you!!

[ann1ebme]

I love you so much for this video alone! And the hello kitty palette? I'm making a bunch of Christmas gifts! :: crafty girly squee of joy! :: You're my new favorite person I've never met ^___^

[internationalutuber]

Why do you have to apply your mostrizer 20 minutes before you apply your make-up?

[pite]

I love the fact that you explain step by step how to do it, and whats not good thanks for sharing.

[cinanime]

Your videos are all so informative!

I was wondering if you could also do a video on loose mineral makeup since many of us are currently into that now.

Thank you very much!

[prettyqut2]

does cream concealer do the same thing? because i use mac concealer and it matches my complexion perfectly but after a while it looks darker then my complexion...

[kuniochi101]

I usea little but liquid foundation, and then powder all over my face. Will the powder still oxidize over a little bit of liquid foundation? Just want to know so when igo to buy other foundations i'll keep it in mind. :)

Thanks!

[ndreaftw1989]

I love you! 

[papercutsmetal]

Koren! Thank you so much for the information about the powder foundation oxidizing. I never understood why my powder foundations would always look darker on my face

[RipleyNgr]

[memabige]

Hi, all your video are very helpful but I fount this one the MOST helpful I learn lots tips, oh I notice you reply to some one said Salamat I think it means thank you? so I like to say SALAMAT for this video.

[bugsyeak]

[bugsyeak]

[justcheill]

i love this back to basics vid! the tip about applying your setting spray on with a stippling brush is SUPER helpful! i'd love a back to basics on concealing video next :) have a terrific day koren!! Thank you!!

[buttercupblossoms3]

Will a setting spray help me from leaving my make-up all over my boyfriend (I'm white and he is black); I use primer (smashbox) and finish (Dr. Feelgood from Benefit) but I have never had this problem before! Please help!

[MsSpecials1]

Thanx for the lesson!

[Oniyxeclipse]

well, now i'll just have to go get that primer, now won't I. I don't normally have oily skin, but this stuff sounds great. Thanks again...You're a life saver for someone who has to shop online for most make-up. Love the reviews and tutorials. Huge help and great learning experiences. thanks. Xoxo- Amber Lynne.

[mastermerko]

[Tisaya]

[erlizzzle]

Thank you so much! You are always so helpful [: [: [:

[ivette818]

does this apply to mineral foundation?

[EnKoreMakeup]

@ivette818 sure, use a buffer/kabuki brush instead for application. I will have a vid on men foundation in this series coming also.

[Ginajandrea]

You are such a great teacher!!! Thank you for all you do ;)

[NurseClaudia]

Great tutorial as always. I love Eve Pearl products.

[soodamncolddisabled]

Thank you for this video.. cant believe I have another 415 to watch now ! =)

[zules27]

I find myself sayin "blend blend bleeend..." every morning while I do my make up!!! Even my husband asks me hey what happened with ur blend blend blend when he doesn't hear it!!! LOL

[EnKoreMakeup]

@zules27 hehehe

[buckybaby29]

Very interesting. I thought I my forehead and nose patchy because my skin doesn't like powder foundations, haha. I definitely have to invest in a good primer! Thanks Koren :)

[EnKoreMakeup]

@buckybaby29 yes, definitely prime it.

[meliful100]

what do you think about a 15 year old using the cover fx primer due to the anti aging properties that it contains?

[EnKoreMakeup]

@meliful100 it wont harm young skin, it will just prevent it from free radicals. It's best to start now, and thankful 5 years in the future.

[JanessaTheCow]

I'd love to go shopping with you!

[TinaTheMUA]

i have very oily skin and I had no idea why my make-up kept looking darker later in the day. a make-up artist at mac said it was because i needed a primer first and it had nothing to do with my oily shin., and i believed her, back when i wasnt a make-up artist. but now that i know the formula of foundations and how to use them on my skin.

[mcanisthal]

Wow, you are amazing & very knowledgable! Thank you!

[TracyChristian]

Love that you're so detailed. Do you have a favorite powder foundation for dry skin? I'm African American.

[AshBash111111]

Thank you so much for this Koren! I've learned a lot!!!!!

[knics33]

Thanks for posting Koren! I am just loving these back to basics videos- they are SO helpful. Lol... I totally guessed "setting spray!" out loud. *Gives myself a pat on the back* :)

[Finnezze]

great job Koren;). xx

[SLAMSwan]

Great video! I love your tip about applying the contour before the actual foundation - very clever. Keep the great videos coming!

[minimartini4]

what powder foundation would you recomend for people with more dryer skin? is there anything you could recomend from the drugstore for dry skin?

[scholastic01]

thank you so much...i thought i was going crazy



[sophdaleo]

Sweetie....I love the way you ARE with us. You are so understandable!

xoxoooxo

[babyitsromance]

Thanks so much for this Koren! I recently found my FAVORITE ever foundation for my skin: The All Natural Face Mineral Powder Foundation, and I was waiting for you to do a video on this type of foundation! :)

[ndreaftw1989]

I've noticed that you leave your skin oily.. I have combination oily skin and I wash twice a day to avoid leaving it oily because I thought that oil is what causes acne.. and I tend to get some breakouts. Is there a reason you like to let your skins oil stay?

[EnKoreMakeup]

@ndreaftw1989 yes, u want some oil on your skin, it will keep it young looking and less wrinkles. So, in a way Im thankful Im oily. And people can't tell my real age! so, that a plus LOL

[shuqahx3]

so we should go a shade lighter for powder foundation?

[EnKoreMakeup]

@shuqahx3 depends on how the foundation oxidizes. If it does one shade darker, then yeah, if more, then you will have to adjust accordingly etc.

[xsamicidex]

koren, i absolutely adore you <3 keep doing what you're doing. you make us all want to be better MUA's!

[y0itzant]

hide yo kids hide yo wifes

[paylorlovesmakeup]

Blend blend blend!(:

[neko426]

how often should the foundation brush be cleaned?

great video! luv ur stuff

[EnKoreMakeup]

@neko426 after every use. at least, every other day and deep clean once a week.

[watermelon2112]

thanks for the helpful video! a question: when you set the powder foundation with the setting spray on the brush won't some of the foundation come off onto the brush?

[EnKoreMakeup]

@watermelon2112 nope, not if you're light handed. That's a problem a lot of people do, is being heavy handed, and there goes the foundation they just applied.

[Chipotle77]

Great video. Thanks for explaining exactly what to do & why to do it.

[paprichaat5]

so koren, all powder foundation companies will oxides and will get darker? mac, loreal, bobbi brown, estee lauder? all of them? i think you are the best explainer or everything you present to us. is there anything else in life that you have experience in and would like to share. i'm sure we can learn alot more from you other than make up. definitely thumbs up for this video

[tessmor]

Hola, thanks so much, this serie (back2basic) is for me, i love your work,...

[poodlelova]

Well, your skin is really looking great these days, did you change your skin care?

[EnKoreMakeup]

@poodlelova thanks! its getting better and better. Nope, Im still using Jeune D'age.

[ChicahLaRica]

Thank you, thank you! :) Lots of good tips. What do you think about GloMinerals

Pressed Base?

[hunbun914]

when i have combo (oily/normal) skin, and while the powder oxidizes on the oily part of your skin, then does that mean your normal skin part would need another shade of foundation?

[TheMicrobacteriumify]

Thanks! I learned a lot from your videos koren =D

[TracyChristian]

As usual you've hit this one out of the park.

[The1LoveSong]

WoW... i'm learning a lot from you..

[shynessmee]

bilib na bilib ako sayo,,galiing mo talga... thanks

[EnKoreMakeup]

@shynessmee salamat :)

[missaryaniii]

@EnKoreMakeup you know how to speak tagalog huh... nice

[sarafm]

Hey Koren, can I do this with mineral makeup? And how about using a sponge with mineral makeup? Thanks for these videos, I loveeee how you cover all the different techniques, it's really thorough and really helps :)

[EnKoreMakeup]

@sarafm beauty blended is best for min makeup if youre a sponge user.

[sarafm]

@EnKoreMakeup Thanks a ton :)

[attitude101girlygirl]

I just recently started watching your vids and i love em! :)

but i notice you say 'okay' a lot its funny! :) (in a good way!)

[EnKoreMakeup]

@attitude101girlygirl hehe okay, alright, and soooo - are my signature words hahaha

[MadMadamJess]

HEY, Koren!! I own the Eve Pearl HD Powder foundation and I ADORE IT!!!!!! It's definitely Holy Grail status for me..I have it in Light. I also have the HD foundation and Salmon concealer and love them equally as much. I love that you used this product for the demo! YOU ROCK and have amazing taste in make up. All my love!

xoxoxo

- Jess

[Midami422]

I have learned so much from you since the first day I subscribed. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! =D

[Shayelle89]

so do you recommend on buying powder foundation about two or three shades lighter? and do mattifying primers help lessen oxidization?

[Midami422]

I have learned so much from you since the first day I subscribed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! =D

[swaace]

I love the way you take your time to explain it all! Your great! :)

[FrenchiesAndMakeUp]

In this video you're using a compact powder, does it work the same for loose mineral powder ?

[TheHeebieGeebie]

Woah not just spraying Fix Plus on my face lol. OK I will try that...

[Makeuplover57ify]

i LOVE the way he says HEY EVERYONE lol

[TheHeebieGeebie]

Learned something new about oxidizing! Thanks!

[Makeuplover57ify]

@lovetoeat4ever if you want to set the MAC powder you could use their fix plus and it sould work but im not sure cuz i use the MSF natural

[yuanyuan602]

Hi Enkore. I feel a little confused. Because it would mix all products like blush, bronzer, highlight, and powder together if we use a wet brush to set makeup.

[musicalbwayfreak]

does liquid foundation oxidize too?

[1LeiaPrincess]

back2basic for concealer pleaseeeeee!!! And a few recommendations for good concealers out there!!!

[iheartbeyonce]

Hi Koren! This is very helpful! I never knew anything about that oxidant thingy when it comes to powder foundation! Cud you pls do a review on the Cover Fx anti-aging primer? That would be lovely. Much appreciated n always thankfÜl..

[Sage06]

love your back-to-basics tutorials!
