Update Foundation Routine: Sept 2011

[xiaosaries]

What brush are u using with the EL foundation? It looks amazing! I live that you only use foundation partially and it makes ur skin look so flawless!

[vienneseoyster43]

Beautiful

[yengbren]

Tao, what do you think about mac mineralized foundation? i have dry skin and been thinking of getting this product. is it long lasting?

[chopStix000]

can you do a comparison of all your mac highlighters? lighscapade, chez chez lame and soft and gentle? would love to see the differences in them thanks!

[sheLoVic]

i always looove your vids..

thanks to you..i bought estee lauder double wear max in #very light..but it just a lil bit too pale and somewhat looks ashy on me (i am neutral 15-20,not so warm,not so cool)..but when i swatch creamy ivory (or creamy vanilla?) on the back of my hand,it looks definitely too dark on me..*sigh* i think i have to bought both and mix 'em up :D

[iamgrape1119]

@sheLoVic I'd try creamy ivory. It's light but not TOO light.

[findy2008]

can you do an eyebrow tutorial plz,they look perfect.thank you

[piyo1717]

I get excited when I see your new videos pop up in my subscription box! Love your videos and wow, I wish I can contour like you, I have a huge face.... Thanks for the tutorial!!

[norwegianprincess10]

You are beautiful!!!!!!!!! You are so gorgeous inside and out, i'm so happy to watch your videos. You don't try to impress, you seem to just act like yourself. I feel completely inspired!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[heartsosavage]

LOVE your face routine videos and that you use high end makeup as well as drugstore.

[rinonvid]

love the face transformation!! & love your wide range of brushes too :D

[hell2dano408]

simple i love it



[TheFashionSpaz]

helloo! correct me if i'm wrong, but did you use to use amazing cosmetics concealer? and if so, do you still think it's the best in terms of coverage? i'm considering investing

[iamgrape1119]

@TheFashionSpaz No, unfortunately I've never tried amazing cosmetics product.

[Chifi23]

@TheFashionSpaz uhm i have it in tan golden, and i believe its the best concealer i have tried. I've used products from drug stores and they never really have great coverage, but this covers the purple vains i have. I know its alot!! but its a great investment. And yu only use a little bit to cover alot!!

[sheylie8]

At last!! make up tutorial!

[iamgrape1119]

@sheylie8 LOL! IKR? It took me a while.

[sheylie8]

@iamgrape1119  but it was worth the was worth the wait! i was super anxious!! :D i love it!! and i can definitely wait until the next one! oh yeah! ; )

[glitterglambaby]

hi tao! can you do a tutorial on this eyemakeup you have on the first part of the vid? Thanks!! will wait for it!

[keryanlay]

how come u can brush ur face so vigorously like tat????! every time i placed my concealer on my scars, when i brush it with powder, concealer just comes off! :(

[iamgrape1119]

@keryanlay You have to use a really soft brush.

[mzjelousy]

Tao, what's a good highlight for yellow undertoned, medium- light tan skin?I have the high beam but I

find it too "shiny" for me.Would u recommend soft & gentle?Thanks!

[iamgrape1119]

@mzjelousy LORAC spotlight is a great one.

[YumiMadeUp]

WHEN IS LIGHTSCAPADE COMING OUT?!

[iamgrape1119]

@YumiMadeUp Sept. 29

[cjx3pooh]

If you ever want to try a foundation with light to medium coverage, I highly recommend the L'egere BB cream :) I heard about it from fuzkittie and it's not the cheapest, but it looks extremely natural and has good lasting power. FYI don't freak out when you see the orangy-brown color, it blends in perfectly to my NC20 skin

[Yelloats]

smokey eyes look good on you

[hc0xgurl]

what color do you think i could use for my acne scars in the Estee Lauder Doublewear max. coverage for my skintone in an nc35?

[hc0xgurl]

what color r u using for Estee Lauder Doublewear max. coverage ? (is it also known as a face and body foundation?)

[lulcKathy]

It's called nose bridge :)

[suripopje]

Is lightscapade WOCfriendly? Will it make nc45 skintone look ashy?

[iamgrape1119]

@suripopje It is definitely NOT WOC friendly. It's the highlighter for ppl w/ really fair skin.

[suripopje]

@iamgrape1119 Yep I've seen swatches, definitely not a WOC color. Too bad though this msf and perfect topping are ones you just want to own just for how adorable they look in the pan. Oh and btw I hate doing this (I always say I hate doing it right before I do it), but I have to ask. Do you know if all races is permanent/pro or limited because I neeeeeeeed that color but I'd rather not buy the whole d*mn quad. (If you get tired of being a MAC encyclopedia feel free to ignore the question).

[playinabox]

i see ur ring! congrats!!



[beautybuff820]

hey girl, i was wondering if you knew when mac will be coming out with another contour color along the lines of strada or emote? i looove those grey toned ones. please! help me out :)

[iamgrape1119]

@beautybuff820 There's no plan in the recent future, but Ben Nye contour #1 is a GREAT gray toned contour.

[beautybuff820]

hey girlie, i heard revlon's pure confection highlighting face powder is a dupe for lightscapade!

[iamgrape1119]

@beautybuff820 I've tried both and I like lightscapade a lot more. The texture is a lot finer and looks more natural.

[msLanniee]

What shade is the Maybelline Dream Matte Powder that you're using and what shade are you in MAC?

[Zackerybob]

@msLanniee

She talked about her foundation color in MAC in another video, and it's NW and NC 20.

[iamgrape1119]

@msLanniee I use Sand Medium 0-1 and MAC NC20-25.

[mrsmakeuplover]

What is the name of high light product by MAC you said was coming out? I'd like to check it out! Please let us know when it's out~~~ Thanks! Love your foundation routine. You look awesome.

[iamgrape1119]

@mrsmakeuplover It's called Lightscapade. :)

[dsrabi]

Hello... I sent you a pm....

[iamgrape1119]

@dsrabi Sent you one back :)

[TheSrmahjabin]

The bridge of the nose!

[nonyobuziness]

Nice eyebrows!! Do you fill them in or tattoo them?

[iamgrape1119]

@nonyobuziness I fill them in. I have a tutorial of that. :)

[FruityBubblezz]

[hoiyankerri]

I really like your shadow. What are you wearing on your eyes? I've been looking for that kind of color!

[y3rlo]

i love your makeup you have on in this video. so beautiful. have you done a tutorial for this look yet? i would love to try it out on myself or at least attempt it. great updated foundation routine. and yeh my skin has been changing on me too. weather change i hate it.

[Steppebreathe]

Tao, thanks a lot for the video! you are awesome! Very useful video!

[SuperCatdoll]

I love to stay up into the late hours of the night....but the next morning,not only does my complexion pay for it but I'm in a rotten stinking mood! So yeah....I learned to get my beauty sleep or I'd be out of a job. Plus I heard continued lack of sleep will make one's skin look old :(

[jilashley]

what collection is lightscapade coming out w????????????

[iamgrape1119]

@jilashley Cindy Sherman on Sept 29

[lvcat4ever]

hi tao i m following you from etianshi to youtube. very great videos. i have question about el double wear max foundation. i know it has been discontinued. i can only order online or ebay. i have light skin with very yellow undertone. i dont which color that i should pick. also i have alot acne scare too. i wish you can help me with the color choice. really like that glow on your face. i was wonder can you make a video about all different kinda highter or your fav one. thanks alot

[iamgrape1119]

@lvcat4ever No, it has been repackage and is a part of the permanent line. I would recommend Creamy Ivory or Creamy Vanilla. I have both, but vanilla suits me better. Ivory if you have REALLY light skin.

[InsaneSouthAsian]

I think your face looked fine before the makeup, but I mean makeup is supposed to accentuate your beauty anyway so YAY MAKEUP IS MAGIC! :-)

[lovelysxo]

what is your skin type? p.s you look amazing with & without make up xx

[iamgrape1119]

@lovelysxo Dry and acneic.

[SillyMando2008]

You NEVER sleep?!

[iamgrape1119]

@SillyMando2008 NEVVVVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[imrana6]

''That my friend is highlighter'' XD love u

[theebeautiful]

i'm gona go get that garnier eye roller! that looks awesome! can't wait for lightscapade too.

[stephaniekaichi]

i have a lot of blemishes on my forehead but a lot of times they dry up around it? (although the actual pimple itself is there and it SUCKS lol). would the double wear still be good for it or would it be too drying?

[cosmicgal78]

what shade is your maybelinne dream matte powder ?? how's the texture of the EL doublewear max. coverage ?? is it easy to blend ? coz I find the EL doublewear one is really difficult to blend and tends to get cakey....but I really like the max. coverage looks on you..you look sooo flawless

[iamgrape1119]

@cosmicgal78 I am in shade Sand (medium 0-1) maybelline powder. EL fdtn is like a thick liquid. It is easy to blend but you want to make sure you work with it very quickly or else it will set.

[PERFECTCANVAS]

Thanks for the tutorial. Btw your eyebrows are realy nice.

[fifthaavenue]

what shade is your garnier roller?

[iamgrape1119]

@fifthaavenue There's only one shade. It suits most skin tone.

[drummercc]
