BASIC/Starter Kit Part 2

[mrswifeycole]

thank you so much... just subscribed..very informative = )

[healthandbeauty12]

I've got blond hair, but brown mascara looks AWFUL on me, but black looks really good

you just said something about it in your video that blonds and red heads should wear brown or something but brown mascara looks really weird next to my hair

[rayytizzle]

Hey! I had a quick question. I'm like a really light olive skin tone, & I've been looking for the perfect blush that gives me just like a real cute flushed look. Any recommendations? I have Mocha & I really don't like it, cause it's too dark for me!

[Bobo411]

Thanks for the vid, starting out with makeup can be overwhelming -_-;;

[alynnjb88]

I absolutely loved this vid!! It is totally helpful to a new makeup addict like me..

Koren, I have a question and I do hope you can help me with it.

I am olive-skinned (at the darker toned side; kinda like Nicole Scherzinger of PCD I think). I was wondering if you would recommend for people like me to wear bronzers? I have oily skin so I'm worried that it may highlight the shininess if I do use it. Your answer would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

[rupasaggitarius]

nice vid :) thnx!

[melissasalisbury100]

thanks for the tips , that helps alot :)

[t1n26]

Hi, could you please list products that you would recommend to a beginner? Eg. Mascara, etc. Thank you

[Batcat1313]

RE-Bonjour Enkore, I look at you honey and i can't help but wonder what you would look like with make up on like a woman, I bet you would be a knock out hey? do you have any video like this? no disrespect intended Enkore, I think you are just awsome and adorable

thank you

^B^ xoxo

[Jesuka]

Enkore if your a begginer and looking for shadows is it better to buy single shadows or a pallete? Btw thank you for all the great tips! Huge difference in effect. =)

[pirate479]

In this video you talk about checking out your video on brushes to see the brushes to use. Which one are you refering to? Could you just do a part 3 to the starter kit videos that covers your recommened brushes and stuff to use to apply your make-up that you should have when you are starting out with make-up

[zephyr9595]

what do you think about eye poxy from coastal scents?

[beXnicola]

YEA WHO AR YU TALKING TO AT 2;45

[3vil1]

Who are you talking to at 2:45?

[bexod]

what's better, too faced shadow insurance or UDPP?

[EnKoreMakeup]

both are great depending on your lid. TooFaced Insurance creases on me as I have super oily lids. UDPP doesnt, so I tend to prefer that more.

[filpoppy123]

urban decay primer potion?

xD

[nastialuvr101]

it primes your eyes and makes eye shadows not wrinkle and be bolder in pigment i have that i love it and i totally recommend it

[filpoppy123]

oh okay thanks very much for the info (:

can i ask u another thing...

cos im not sure have u ever used sephora's brand of foundation and stuff and if so are they any good ? just wondering

w.b pls :)

xxx

[nastialuvr101]

i have and i really liked it because it wasnt cakey at all and it lasts a while i bought mine like ill say about 3 or 4 months ago and i still have alot left i apply it with a damp sponge by the way it makes it more like real skin

[filpoppy123]

can i get the uber decay primer potion at sephora?

(sorry if i spelt that wrong)

x

[101Chik101]

Yep, you can!

[filpoppy123]

thanks for w.b (:

[ngkellyluvmakeups]

hi enkore, can u please tell me where i can get that blush "flir" from you pics when you were talking about blushes.

[smileglu]

I get Flirt products from Kohl's

[caywhitexo]

yes, i believe the only place you can flirt cosemetics is from Kohl's

[jmelissa82]

yes flirt is made for kohls by lancome!!

[btaskey]

Flirt is made by Estee Lauder.

[ngkellyluvmakeups]

thanks everyone !!

[lovetextz]

for maskara would you recomend covergirl lash blast? if so plase send me a message back.

THNX!!!

[BlondieTygur527]

I use to use covergirl mascara..but then I got the lancome mascara and I love it...the covergirl lashblast is wayyyy to hard to remove with makeup remover..not all of it comes off ...and takes forever too..Id get lancome OR Urban decay big fatty mascara..I use that now and im addicted...you can get the travel size of that at Ulta for 9 bucks so itsvup to you..

[Howlong2468]

Do you know if theres that store in Canada?

[bbvm16]

yeah there are

[Howlong2468]

Where is that eye primer called Urban Decay sold?

[blondeprincesssarah]

Sephora

[JessieJealousy350]

wait...enkore, are my lips supposed to be straight??

cuz i have a really curvy upper lip naturally. its like that shape they put on the cartoon characters =/

ya know, the one that looks so fake and drawn on?

[totorosan428]

thanks so much koren :)

[mexprince1]

hey there! kinda dumb question..is there a "right" or "wrong" color to blush to wear with makeup? like what do you match it with your eyesshadow? so when would you were a pink vs a plum vs a peach toned blush? soo comfused!!

[EnKoreMakeup]

no right or wrong on that --- but, much like lipstick color, you find your right shade of blush. One color can look great on one person, but that doesnt mean it will also look great on another. Trend these days is if you do more work on the eyes, you want subtle colors on the lips and cheeks so that the attention is drawn to the eyes.

[leif120]

I have a question that may sound a little silly, but i heard that when you use lipliner sometimes all of your lip stick or lip gloss rubs off and then your left with just the lip liner. Is that true? or, does that only happen if u have like the wrong shade or something?

But hey, thank you for the starter kit ideas! I havent worn much makeup before, so it really helps a first time user like me! Having an Enkore video marathon tonight, lol!

[blondeprincesssarah]

That can happen sometimes, but that's what touch-ups are for! To avoid the ring though, fill in your whole lip with your liner as a base for your lipstick. This way, when your lipstick or gloss wears away, you'll still have some color on your lips.

[bglasper]

hello EnKore!! Thanks so much I learned a lot from the basic starter kit. Wow you are the greatest. Thanks for imparting your knowledge. God Bless You!

[money1177]

wow you are great! well explained

[KeepingMeInspired]

I noticed Flirt in your video. I use this brand and it's good for the money. Have you done a video using Flirt or American Beauty? I have been using MAC for many years, but I'm not addicted to it. I only use Studio Fix because that's what I'm used to. I need to branch out and try new things and your videos are helping me with that. I live in Vegas and I would spend about $20-$40 once a month playing pennies. Now I spend it on makeup!!!!! Thanks

[mpowahblaques]

Have you used any studio gear products?

[manishalibran]

How do we clean the brushes after makeup? My skin is very dry and at times after applyin liquid foundation those dry areas especially area around the nose looks a little worn out. I always moisturize before apply a foundation. I am using Revlon's liquid foundation. Please advise.

[CrisySue]

you might want to try a mousse or mineral foundation to help make your make up look more natural on your dry skin...

[chickiigirlx33]

you can also try mixing your foundation with a little mosturizer-- but still mosturize before hand either way!

[manishalibran]

Whats the exact difference between a primer and a foundation?

[MissLinsi]

What do you suggest doing for the treatment of oily eyelids?

[darkshad0e907]

Hey you mentioned primer for your eyes.  I have heard it many times. I'm kind of lazy to buy it (cuz i cheap cosmetics like covergirl). So what could i use to substitute primer? I've used foundation or concealer, is that okay?

[fierceval]

hey koren, what mascara in your opinion is the best? i tend to have oily skin so most mascaras i use smudge under my eyes..any suggestions? btw, your videos are awesome!

[EnKoreMakeup]

hey fierce - you can definitely look into waterproof mascara if you want smudgeproof. waterproof mascaras have higher wax base.

[sp4ever2912]

do you have a video on how to apply bronzer??

[EnKoreMakeup]

yeah I believe its called BRONZING, just look it up in my vidz list.

[sp4ever2912]

Thanks! and I really hope your feeling better!

p.s. thank you for taking the time to reply!

[dancewindjammer1355]

where can you buy primer potion?

[EnKoreMakeup]

I got mine from Sephora

[PeaceReigns218]

I am having a similar problem to gripfastMic. I am African American...golden kind of orangy toned and I have no idea about which blushes I should wear. Also, I woiuld like to add more definition to my cheekbones with a contour and highlight, but I only know that the contour shade should be about 2 tones darker than your skin.

NEways, love ur vids!! Very Informative as always! Thanks!!

[EnKoreMakeup]

hey Peace - what i usually do with african american darker tone, is I use their natural color as the contour, and use a lighter color to emphasize the highlights. So try that, leave the contoured area your skin color and work on highlighting more to make your features pop.

[PeaceReigns218]

Thanks so much!! Off to MAC I go to find a nice highlight shade...

[gripfastMic]

hi koren! i love your videos!!

I am a filipina and I am clueless about putting make-up. Watching your videos made me feel more confident on putting on make-up.

Can you make a video on how to put make-up on a brown skinned girl? What color is the best one to use for cheeks, lips, eyes and all?

Thank you so much!!

[josie71177]

hi enkore, i want to know if you recommend medusas makeup, and if you have tried it what you think of it.

please let me know as im thinking of getting their line

[EnKoreMakeup]

hey Josie - yes, Medus have beautiful pigmented mineralized eyeshadows. Definitely give them a try!

[Polypus13]

Ya know, when I do my brows, I define the bottom of my brow with dipdown fluidline and then fill in the hair of my brows with espresso shadow. Have you tried using fluidline to define brows? It' gives you that perfect, sharply defined arch. Also, since fluidline is so longwearing, it really keeps the powder on.

Look at me, pretending to give advice to an expert, hahahaha.

Your videos are amazing by the way. Keep it up! I love watching your tutorials!

[abcchdeefegahatcha]

Hey!

I was wondering what you think a better basic pink would be for NC42-NC44 skin.

Expensive Pink or Star Violet?

[EnKoreMakeup]

I like Expensive Pink.

[cathy2708]

HEY KOREN!!!

im just about to go the mac store ;)

and ill have ur tips in mind!

thanks a lot for this!!!

[EnKoreMakeup]

awesome Cathy - do tell what you hauled! ~K

[cintdamua]

Your The BOMB, I spent my whole sunday watching your videos and there so helpful for an aspiring MUA as my self, you give so much info and your doing it fo FREE!!! Do you accept tips ! LOL :)

[mmmsprinkles1]

hey there! I was wondering if you could purchase the (15 well) pallette's at the mac store? Like the one for all the eyeshadows that you mentioned in Part 1 of this video.

[mmmsprinkles1]

hey there! I was wondering if you could purchase the (15 well) pallette's at the mac store? Like the one for all the eyeshadows that you mentioned in Part 1 of this video.

[EnKoreMakeup]

yep any fresstanding MAC stores and not counters like at Macys.

[mmmsprinkles1]

oh perfect! thanks Koren! Also, how much does one go for?

[EnKoreMakeup]

they are $12 each - blush palettes are also $12 each.

[BohemianSheila]

I've noticed that you mark all your make-up. What are you using to do that?

[EnKoreMakeup]

yeah I mark them so that when I do backstage gigs with other makeup artists, I know which ones are mine. I use CAR detailing stickers that you buy from Auto Zone. They really stick well, and are waterproof.

[Aliciamaedee]

your so smiley lol

[Taghyra]

lol I know I love it!!

[Aliciamaedee]

:D thats how he smiles this is how i smile

:-)

[pinkpornstar1]

Do you have one ho to make your eyebrows look natural. I cant do it it looks like I drawed them on. I keep hearing about dashes and checks. I need visual... Im sorry HELP thanks

[chintikla]

[yeyybritttt]

you are s nice seriously youtube should be paying to do these videos i think i speak for a lot of people saying keep up the good work thanks!(:

[mignone14]

hi korin!

uno question: How are the primers comparable? I've tried shade sticks, paints and paint pots, prep +prime eye, but i've yet to try udpp. is one better than the others? because I've not getting the staying power i'm lookig for (my eye lids are incredibly greasy, and wrinkly=(

thanks for the help!

[EnKoreMakeup]

hi mignone - UDPP is far the best, well, actually theres another one that is overlooked that is just as good, or even better. It's called Eye Insurance by Too Faced makeup. its $17 for a little bitty tube, but its GREAT stuff. Check it out when you get a chance!

[X1HONEY]

hey :) i was wondering if you know any mascaras that would give length + volume to super short (and i mean super short!) eyelashes? thanks :) keep up the frigging awesome videos!

[EnKoreMakeup]

hi Honey - check out MAGIC LASH from overallbeauty (dot) com. Its AMAZING. I will be posting a review on it soon.

[paulettejag]

Hi Korin<3! i love ALL your videos, they're so helpful:D im planning to go buy a palette soon:)

Q: use C4 and i want my lips to blend with my skin tone(like tyra banks:Djee)(i usually just use chapstick) what should i use on my lips?

Q: how can i keep eyelashes healthy when curling them?

thanks for all your help(:

<3paulette

[EnKoreMakeup]

hi Paulette - you either look into a nude colored lipstick that matches your skin tone. OR you can check out Lip Erase but its only available in the Pro line. I reviewed that product in my Nudes, Shapers, Lip Erase Video. Check it out. Regarding your lashes, Most Mascaras have lash conditioners built in. So as long as you are applying mascara after you curl, you're ok.

[StarsM13]

hey,What are the best pigmented brands for eyeshadow?

[EnKoreMakeup]

MAC, Ben Nye, Kryolan are the most pigmented as they are Theatrical Grade cosmetic brand. For drugstore brands, I find Nyx and HIP L'Oreal to be high pigmented as well, but texture are not as smooth and creamlike.

[tstgirl]

hi koren, can you tell me what's the difference between msfs ,beauty powders and irridescent powders?

[EnKoreMakeup]

hey tstgirl - msfs are mineralized powder that are baked solid in dome shape compacts. Beauty Powders are pressed shimmer talcum powder with more coverage of which some can be used as blushes, and irridescent powder are sheer shimmer powders great for blotting/setting.

[SWB1500]

i love your vids! they help me out of the overly-makeup'd rut i live in. xD

my eyeliner/mascara [i've yet to figure out which] likes to smudge under my eye throughout the day, making my makeup look *terrible*. would the urban decay primer help with that?

[antistarlet]

fluidline rocks. it never smudges. clinique cream liner for eyes is very good too.

[leslierhs2006]

great video good tips

[totaly123456]

ya me too i have full lips so can u give any kind of suggestions

[SexyStar78]

Korin I just love your videos. I have full lips and would like to know how I can down play them with a lip liner/lipstick or gloss? Any suggestions?

[EnKoreMakeup]

you can downplay your lips by avoiding using deep lipliner colors. Try pinks/rosy colors, and gloss is best. The darker your lips, the fuller it looks. So light colors is best.

[mlou3112]

What color did you hold up for the paint pot?

What do you recommend for eyes which are starting to be crepey? a video perhaps? I have used Paint in Bare Canvas for a few years, but I feel it highlights the crepe-iness. I have used a touch of creamy concealer on the eyes, but I'm not sure if that is the best idea.

How about a video on using shadows for aging face? The frosts and shimmers accentuate the eyes aging.

Love Viva Glam V & VI.

[EnKoreMakeup]

definitely look into Paintpot - I held up PAINTERLY in this video, and a great base primer and non-crepeing and non-creasing.

[ItsMeSharolaidHon]

Teehee, you is so adorable hon. ^.^

[toofastfgbx]

Oh wow. I seriously need one.

i was wondering how much all this might cost?

;]

thankyou babe x

[oolikethatoo]

you are awesome!!!!!

[LindseySomething]

darn...i need a kit.lol

[EnKoreMakeup]

hehehe lindsey :)

[AthenaVang]

Thank you very much. This is exactly what I needed.

[cookiechickiefudge]

Thankyouuuu.

I don't need an eyelash curler and on most occassions mascara. WOO. I'm blessed.

[camzilla13]

Hahhaha! me 2! :D

[seebaseeba]

just wanted to let you know that i love your videos... esp the one before on using art brushes as makeup brushes(i went to Michaels and bought them and they work perfectly) :P oh and for some reason the main thing i notice in your videos is the way u say "little bit" when u say it ...sounds like "LILLLLLLbitttt" :P aww :P... thanks for making videos to help all of us makeup obsessed

[jeda21]

Brilliant two-set of videos, thank you so much!

[aprillee01]

I love my Mac plushlash or my Stila. I love watching your vids. you give great advice!!!

[sulci]

can you pick your top 15 eyeshadow not neutral colours?? :D

[Torias22]

Thanks Koren- This was very helpful - we learn so much from you- you rock!

[charyle1974]

i meant fix plus......... der!

[charyle1974]

Hi Koren!! love ur tuts!! Im definatley going to buy studio fix as mentioned in part one... you also hinted of a future video on this? Perleeaaase!!!!!!!! that would be wonderful!!! i await with baited breath..... ur getting pretty famous in the uk now you know - iv spread the word and everybody thinks your just lovely!!! :)

[EnKoreMakeup]

awe, thanks charyle! Yes a vid on ways to use FIX+ is brewing :)

[shesrich]

Hi Koren, I've noticed a logo on your Mac makeup like a star, what is it?

[woahxRAHR]

i noticed that too.

i thought it was like a fat cross though lol.

[EnKoreMakeup]

hey shesrich - its just a little ID sticker. When I do baackstage work for fashion shows with other makeup artists, I would know which ones are MINE. And I tell ya, you can easily loose track of your stuff, so this makes it easier for me to identify my stuff.

[ConcealMyPoison]

the mascara you pulled up.... is that the one by lancome??

[turnthepage]

Haha I just my bandana on and came to watch you vid and we're wearing the same one...we're funny!

[babycakesjk]

AWw! I love you Enkore! You are so sweet and awesome. I'm fairly new to MAC, this is so awesome thank you SO much!!

[boxofmakeup]

Hey Koren, thanks so much for these tuts. You know we luv you dont you? lol Ok, question...what is your favorite of all time best in the wholewide world Mascara?

[EnKoreMakeup]

Inimitable by Chanel.

[TAMMYANGEL777]

which eyelash curlers r good from drugstores

[lolavex]

Maybelline is really good.

[ShexyKristin]

I have a Revlon one and it is really good. :)

[EnKoreMakeup]

maybelline, revlon - just make sure it has rounded silicone pads, and not flat. If it does, then just buy the replacement pads, theyre not that expensive.

[elledancer]

love all your vids... wish i could get mac where i live. its not sold here!!:(

[daisyisawesome123]

I love both of your starter kit videos! they help so muchh! thank you for making such great, helpful, easy to understand videos! =]

[elevensmiles11]

if u happen to already be wearing foundation and powder, put a hint of foundation over the eyearea and powder on top, it works exactly the same as primer

[tialet64]

Hey K,

Ur soo Amaazing BFF.

Big Huggs

xoxo Tish xoxo

[littlemax1]

ive seen the primer potion from urban decay on everyones makeup videos. im thinking about getting one but does it dry out the sensitive skin above the eyes?

[EnKoreMakeup]

not at all littlemax. Its actually so silky when you first apply, and once it sets, it doesnt dry the skin at all.

[IvAtlantic]

Yayy! I loved part 1 & this one! thank you for making it!

[lemoncholic]

Love you videos! more more more pls!! :)

[DV1980]

Koren, thank you so much. MAC brushes and makeup are on my Xmas list to Santa (What? He DOES exist you know. =D LOL).

I felt like a student watching this two vids and the other ones about brushes, I was writing down all the recomendations.

Thanx again. Keep up the good work!

[sajamathu]

I agree! I never take notes in class, if anyone was to see me furiously scribbeling down notes about makeup, they'd all be like =|

[marcelinamarie]

haha.....you know we all have a pen and pad ready when class is in session with Koren.

He's IS the meastro!

[heaartsxo]

hahah soo true i have a pen and pad infront of me right now

[sssolene]

Thank you so much Koren!!!

[0hgawditznat]

Very helpful vid, loved it being that I'm just starting out myself :)

[bullybaas]

Thanks for the great tips Koren!!

I'm going to add the eyelash curler to my kit ;D

Take care... :D

[orngjoos]
