Emsy,

What do you prefer liquid or powder foundation?

[EmsyJay]

It depends on the weather, the condition my skin is in, or what effect I'm going for. For dry weather, if my skin is normal or dry, or if I want a dewy look, I use liquid or cream foundation. If the weather is humid, if my skin is oily, or if I want a matte look, I use powder foundation.

[LaMalia35]

emsy you need to stop being so modest about your gorgeous skin ok. I understand using a little to even things out but your skin looks pretty flawless to me pre foundation.

[EmsyJay]

Really, I'm not being modest, and my skin is not gorgeous. It's just that after going from raw footage, through the save on the video editor, then through YouTube, lots of detail is lost, including my skin's flaws.

Thanks for watching.

Wonderful video as usual...and...I have those earrings in silver and antique gold :) Don't you just love them?

[EmsyJay]

Thanks, candyapple!

[DoodyBugg]

I must have those earrings!Where did you get 'em? LOL

[EmsyJay]

:) I got them at Macy's.

[angiebabyyyx3]

are you going to do an updated collection video?

i miss the old ones!

[EmsyJay]

I'm going to post my collection on my blog, but I don't think I will do another video. As soon as it's complete, I'll put the link on my channel page.

[peeech]

yay! you're talking! i like this style of tutorial.

[EmsyJay]

I like that it's much quicker to edit, but I still like being able to use music when I don't talk. Thanks for watching, peeech!

[peeech]

Well...you can still put music low in the background and still talk! Compromise! :o)

[PurpleTai]

I totally agree about the UDPP. It's okay, but it's definitely not my "holy grail" primer.

[EmsyJay]

I feel ya. For many looks, I prefer a colored base. I'm looking forward to the summer to see if my paints, paint pots, shadesticks, and HiP crayons will crease when my lids are oily. I have only had all of those a short time, so I don't know how they perform in the heat.

[PurpleTai]

I do prefer colored bases, but anything remotely creamy creases on me unless I use UDPP, Prep& Prime, concealer, etc., first to dry my lids a bit. *sigh* I wish it wasn't so.

As side note, I don't know anyone who likes the M.A.C Prep & Prime for eyes. It works fine for me except I have a teeny tiny dry patch or 2 on my otherwise oily lids and it dries them up too much. I'm hanging onto the P&P to see if it works better for me in the summer.

[DivinelyInspired]

YAY! She speaks! Ive never tried liquid foundation but that coverage was great

[EmsyJay]

Yes, the coverage builds very well, but you can also apply it with a damp foundation brush for sheer, dewy coverage.

[ATLMicki]

Your sweet EmJ. I should listen to the whole video before commenting. Thank you!

[EmsyJay]

LOL! Thanks, Micki!

[ATLMicki]

Awee! She talks! You're doing great Emsy. I can't even look at the camera when I talk. I'm gonna work on it though! You're inspiring.

[TutorialU]

I love the earing where did you get them at?

[EmsyJay]

Thanks! They're from Macy's, Lucky Brand, I think.

[TutorialU]

omg I love that you are talking in the video =]]]

please do more videos like this!

[EmsyJay]

I'll think about it, Nicka. :)

[quinmidget]

are you in a different bathroom?

[EmsyJay]

Yes. :)

[urinejunkie]

aww you're too cute!! loved this video 5* ...great look! ... how do you like the smashbox HD HFX vs. studio tech?

[EmsyJay]

I like the color of the Smashbox better; it's less yellow. Both have similar, buildable coverage. The finish of the Smashbox looks more natural and dewy to me, which may be due to the fact that it's a liquid, while Studio Tech is a cream. Plus, the Smashbox has SPF, but Studio Tech doesn't (I think).

[urinejunkie]

that's right, studio tech doesn't have SPF, which really sucks..it's my regular foundation and favorite to date. i also wish it wasn't in a compact because even though i obsessively clean my brushes, i still feel like the whole compact thing is unsanitary. it is a cream foundation though, so i suppose there isn't any other way to contain it.

i just noticed that you switch up your foundations so i was compelled to ask.
