Basic Foundation Tutorial

[Heyyou22able]

OMGosh if your skin is that perfect you don't need that much coverage.

[ImFilmingMyself]

@Shnarlea Thumbs up if you don't give a fuck ;)

[DazzleMeDoll]

heys check out my channel and sub if you enjoy watching my videos:)

[chaimaisdeleukste]

You allready have a beautiful skin you don't need to wear foundation at all

[ninja80ify]

what if im black?

[laurajiyeonlee]

:)

[Babs1099]

thumb up if u saw the kittehh :L

[chicosci0690]

I only use BB cream from Maybelline but I love this tutorial. I love the song by Late Night Alumni. I love Michelle's cat too!

[Viri701]

@HachiiLovesYou try wet n wild, I'm really pale too and that's the only brand that works for me. :)

[HachiiLovesYou]

wish i could wear liquid foundation to hide my red cheeks but no they don't even have a color pale enough for my skin >.> even mac's lightest one is too dark for my skin -.- either it's too dark or makes me look orange D: anyone know of a good one that might have my color? :/ and that won't make it look like just make up on my skin >.<

[MsFrozensock]

@HachiiLovesYou hey, I would recommend the Natural Finish Long Lasting Foundation in 00 from Bobbi Brown, this one is even lighter than the other lightest BB foundation and not as yellow.

Or you try using the lightest tone (no 13) of Missha BB cream which I actually prefer over foundations since it makes your skin look more natural.

[xxMayaEatsCrayonsxx]

She doesn't even need foundation!

[IslaRaSiru]

That's the same way I do my foundation routine. I just didn't know the part about dipping the sponge in water before applying the liquid foundation.

[xSincerelyStephanie]

if boys only understood what we go through. -.-

~ i'm in love with her skin, it's flawless.

[Anniwahz0]

You should do nail tutorials thumbs up so she can see

[pinkalicious251]

@BeautyNeek hahahahaahaha that literally made me lol....

[FayeLouisaa14]

you made it michelle!<3

[ZATMstarz]

do u kno any powders tht cost cheap cuz i use a LOT of power cuz the foundation alone dosnt luk gud on my skin

[Crowsdoblacken]

...The dapple motion was the right way to apply the makeup she was going steady but when she started to drag the sponge across here face I was like "NOOOOOOOO!!!". To explain the dapple motion pushes makeup into the the skin which ='s an even coat, but the drag motion wipes the makeup away to a certain extent ruining your hard work! no to be critical! I hope this helps anyone in the future!

[lolfaghole]

What liquid foundation and powder do you use???:)

[esjeebeee]

I'm sorry but the foundation or whatever did nothing for you.

[MakeUpWithMimi1]

Thumbs up if your watching this in January 2012 :)

[OiFoolSmile]

[Shnarlea]

Thumbs up if you're watching in 2012 ;)

[BeautyNeek]

@Shnarlea wow

[Shnarlea]

@rosemlxx00 Good ol' time travel ;)

[cheybug394]

@Shnarlea No, I'm watching this in 12 B.C. on my iStone...

[PunkSponge2013]

@Shnarlea No one cares.

[prettypreety5]

@Shnarlea who gives a shit when your watchin it?

[vampiregurl1o1]

I remember when she was like this. She actually posted videos more often... Now she only does it when she's getting paid to and it makes me sad :( I love her vids but...man

[CJKPOPFREAK]

It's already 2012 and I am watching this! Look how far Michelle Phan Has Come!

[Crystal2193]

Wish under eye circles was the most prominent thing I had to conceal... :/

[luvmyswagger143]

what do u use for a face wash becuase ur face is super clear!



[whitneycyndichiu]

thumbs up if you'v been watching this video since last year non-stop (haha get it?)

[MsCheekybunbun]

Hm she was skinnier then. She's put on some weight

[9rexx]

no offense but im new to wearing foundation and it seems like wearing all these things would make it feel heavy on your face, is this true?

[Angieee111]

Thumbs up if tomorrow is 2012!

[mermaidfairy08]

its funny how at 5:37 she's padding the powder on to the rhythm of the music :)

[VeronicaV331]

YEAH!!! I love this music!!! :D

[jennylingwong]

i was 13 when i was watching this video from ricebunny now u made ricebunny friends lock ;(

[Paulavang209]

how r u suppose to match foundation with ur skin tone?

[KKatrinaMarie22]

i miss this michelle. </3

[clarksonkelly21]

think REGENEVIVE Cleanser is the best toner I have ever used! Gentle, yet cleans and balances your skin. I only use it once a day, I think anymore would be too much.

[QuashaBabii18]

I love how her powder pressing starts to sync up with the beat at 5:36

[Polishpikachu44]

It must be nice to have perfect skin..

[Kradam1314]

@Polishpikachu44 Right?

[LaporshaSmilez]

@Polishpikachu44 Yes, it really is nice. For me it's natural but some people have to keep up a strict skin regimen to maintain it, so it's not always just something you're born with. Anybody can have great skin though, the work you have to put in to maintain varies though. And just because skin looks perfect on camera doesn't mean it really is. usually people put foundation on 'seemingly perfect skin' because in real life they have really uneven skin tones.

[MissAppleMac]

aww, i miss the old michelle :(

[summerbrenda]

@MissAppleMac

same :(

[fol2choco]

So bsically, I agree with @aliceWONDERLAND4ever

[alekhajane]

[xXxAznGoHardxXx]

You don't tap your excess powder??

Lol that was a lot of powder.. You don't need all that coverage!

[PrincessyAnya]

flawless meaning without acne or any marks, etc... if so, OMGI AM SOO IMPRESSED CRAZY JEALOUS! i have soo much acne, my mom wont let me use that egg mask facial or any thing that says on here, only the "himalaya" neem facial pack and face wash... >.< -__-

[CrystalAkawa]

[LilozPerfection]

[AmaryEvent]

[XXloveXXu]

~Ash

[charli0hihi]

@XXloveXXu

I think it's because of the webcam. She has oily skin.

[onoitsh]

@XXloveXXu She's asian...that's her beauty secret...

[MakeUpWithMimi1]

@onoitsh lol....

[BrightEyes10003]

@XXloveXXu she posts skin tutorials ALL the time

[micaqwe]

So cute the kitty there hehe.. nice tut.

[hgjdrthtyju]

Okay, so I always have trouble putting on my foundation, I have powder, and this helped A LOT! My mom was telling me how to put it on, and she doesn't really WEAR makeup, and she's not really good at it either, so I really needed to learn how. Thanks Michelle Phan!

[MissMonzzXx]

Her skin is so flawless that she looked the same wihtout the foundation on and with it on! My inspiration !!!! xxxxxx

[gtghome]

@ 2:24 when you were dabbing your eyes, they were bouncing a lot; i was afraid they would fall out....damn, that would've been a real buzzkill. -___-

[katey12031998]

I love how at the start Michelle's all like 'Hmm, wtf?' :D

I love your tutorials so-fucking-much. *-* :3♥

[RandomCupcake321]

I prefer it when she talks in her tutorials. She explains everything fully and makes it more easier to understand. Plus, her voice is really relaxing. :P

[effievla]

the video music is distructing....



[ThePianoFreakzz]

[MsKool98]

[TheSania99]

@ThePianoFreakzz Noo! im watching this in 1897! -.-

[Bloodprincess520]

@ThePianoFreakzz what do you THINK we're doing here? Stop it please. It's getting old.

[ThePianoFreakzz]

@Bloodprincess520 ok, dude, chill... its just a comment... i never get thumps up and i thought "hey, why not ?" lol... its not that big of a deal O.O

[BeautyNeek]

@ThePianoFreakzz No. I'm watching this in 500B.C on my iStone. -_-

[ThePianoFreakzz]

@BeautyNeek ok........?

[BeautyNeek]

@ThePianoFreakzz it's sarcasm to your ridiculous comment. Of course we'd be watching now, people are obviously posting and it has more views.

[ThePianoFreakzz]

@BeautyNeek I know that. Its just annoying that people have to comment back to me saying those stupid things about watching this from the wayyy past. I dont get why they have to do that... i posted that comment to see if i would get thumps up and i did.  PEACE! :)

[BeautyNeek]

@ThePianoFreakzz Exactly so it was just for the thumbs up. Grow up.

[ThePianoFreakzz]

@BeautyNeek okay, can we just drop it? alright?

[MarisaCorey]

How can people dislike Michelle Phan? ;o love your videos !xx

[AlexMcSkin]

@MomoHasMuffins

liquid foundation is thinner and has a weaker coverage while cream foundation is thicker like wut that clown makeup feels like and had a stronger coverage. cream foundation is good for trannys or ppl covering bad pores but make sure its washed off wen u get home

or w.e ^.^

[xginax124]

hi just wondering if i should wet my foundation brush before i apply my foundation with it?

[snowman358]

@xginax124 NOOOO never do that unless ur using a sponge or puff the water will make it blochu and u will see lines

[sickestgdkidz]

Great Vid can someone help me? i usually never ever wear foundation n i have small acne on my forehead n between my eyebrows so i wear mostly foundation on my cheeks and nose and under my eyes but im afraid to put it on my forehead.. i put some put my foundation is a healthy skin clearing foundation but its definately not helping my acne.. any suggestions on mixed skin type, foundation???

[braveheart20121]

@sickestgdkidz try using mineral or water-based foundation, they're made for skin prone to acne because they won't clog your pores

[sickestgdkidz]

@braveheart20121 OKAY THANK YOU SOOO MUCH :D do you any products that might be containing those?

[braveheart20121]

@sickestgdkidz There are MANY products, try your local drugstore. If you're on a tight-budget, try neutrogena or clean and clear makeup products; great quality for afffordable prices. Or you can try Pur Mineral prdocuts by ordering them online.

[sickestgdkidz]

@braveheart20121 Okay thanks super helpfull :D

[DubQueensessa]

@sickestgdkidz Use clinique moisture foundation it's 30 dollars but is great for skin and will keep it healthy plus it's a moisturizer !

[sickestgdkidz]

@DubQueensessa Okay thanks soo much for the help :)

[Yasii1]

she is using loreal true match...hah now she probably won't use anything less than lancome or Chanel...

[emilyx1229]

Great video !

I was wondering if anyone could help me...

I have very dry and sensative skin. My cheeks and skin are always red and I don't like it :( I have tried different brands and types of foundation, and no matter what I do, it always makes my face looking caky, dry and bad looking. I use moisturizer and it still doesnt work. Maybe I'm applying it wrong, or using the wrong products, I'm not sure. Any reccomendations or advise would be great ! thanks :)

[mmesqueunclub]

Honestly, I can't see any difference! You don't need any powder, foundation or something like these!! I'm jealous.. :)

[hollyccam]

not even trying to insult her but she probably has flaws we cant see. when i take a pic of myself my skin always looks 100% flawless just b/c of cam quality.

[aleak123]

@MomoHasMuffins

liquid is in a bottle usually... and it's thinner than cream.

cream can be compact, or it can be in a stick. it's more creamy (obviously) and thick

[Lindsey87XD]

I like this video! But you really don't need any foundation as you've akewady got a great complexion.

[MomoHasMuffins]

can any of you ghurls tell meh what the difference is beween a liquid and a cream foundation? Don't kill me I just wanna be beautiful like you :3

[qeminibaee]

You look like your putting on nothing

[haircrazedlovely]

Some people are juz jealous of michelles complexion :/ why live such sadistic lives...i know u people are juz fucking ugly thats why ur critisizing her...whas more, its a demo in how to put on foundation.

[TheColourfulbeauty]

she obviously doesn't wear 3 layers or foundation, she was just demonstrating the 3 types of foundation there are.

[LadyKay1818]

In the end where your pressing with the brush, you presses go along with the bells in the music. XD

[cullencrazed1011]

this was posted on my birthday =)

[freestyle6100]

SHUT THE FUCK UP MICHELLE OK? YOU NEED ANY DAMN MAKEUP, FOUDATION AND CONCAELER SHIIT IS FOR PEOPLE WITH BLEMISHES, NOT YOU DAMMIT!

[Hughjasslol1]

@freestyle6100 Michelle is simply HELPING those who need coverage. She's not saying she wears this much foundation/concealer a day. Jeez.

[911BlackRose]

@freestyle6100 so, you're telling her she's beautiful AND to stfu... make your mind up!

[freestyle6100]

@911BlackRose Damn you, dont hate on other peoples comments, and yes honey you dont need to woryy, my mind is already made up

[911BlackRose]

@freestyle6100 lol, alright

[freestyle6100]

@911BlackRose 'lol'..Hmmm...what's that mean?

[911BlackRose]

@freestyle6100 lol = laugh out loud... of course

[freestyle6100]

@911BlackRose OH! HAHAHAHA>>>your so funny!(sarcasm retard)

[911BlackRose]

@freestyle6100 i know what sarcasm is, obviously, its just the context in which you used sarcasm was stupid and unnecessary. Also, calling people a retard is prejudiced, it's on the same level as calling someone 'gay' and is derogatory to retarded or gay people since there is nothing wrong with being special needs. Also, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Think before you type please, otherwise people might think you're an idiot.

[freestyle6100]

@911BlackRose Ah....ok?:/

[pukianaballet]

I loved it! can you please make a video about stage makeup?? thx!

[MegaSuperEsther]

If i had your skin i would only use some concealer xd

[melindaisdashit]

Thunbs up if your watching this in 2011!!!

[IHeileenI]

@melindaisdashit

I keep seeing this dumb message everywhere and it's making me sick. I mean really. : /

[MsSilenceplease]

[LesChampis]

why are you looking so sad on the video? :(

[LucyKorts]

you dont have redness or acne... Im not saying "omfg your skins so perfect." but why are you putting foundation on.. WASTE.

[LucyKorts]

@LucyKorts Seriosuly your plastering your face with all these chemicals and you don't even need to

[ThePurpleAura]

she has changed soo much its unbelievable!!

[neonPINKeyes]

This video was posted on my birthday(:

[toritoast]

I remember when this was a new video and I was so excited that she came out with a foundation specific video. OH NOSTALGIA T_____T

[MystifydeLeo]

wow, how many layers of just foundation do you put on?? o__o

[GloryRave1]

@MystifydeLeo She uses a clean face each time...Lmfao! Fail to you.

[ChelseyTheVampire]

i wish my skin was that clear. >:(

[TheJudenator]

Michelle, I love you so much and your vids, but sometimes I feel like slapping you on the face, cause honey, you have the most perfect skin ever! <3

[PinkFairytale17]

Oh my, look how pretty was you hair back then :(

[InMyLifetime2010]

She looks nothing like this now... it's kinda scary actually.

[StripedCookies]

@InMyLifetime2010 I know! She's like a totally different person! It makes me kinda sad..But she's still beautiful!

[lilBlondie234]

this isnt anything bout the make up but what kind of music is in the back round???its weird.....

[IdiotFriend28]

@imaflancake I have that same problem! I have Really pale skin too. try mixing a couple different foundations together

[TheMonkeyDidIt]

She's a gorgeous natural beauty, and despite the layers of foundation she seemed to use, she looked very natural and flawless post application, just a little more well rested. I applaud your technique & skillful blending... Key elements to a beautiful appearance no matter how much make up you do or don't need.

[culurful]

Guys listen, do you not realize that this is a tutorial, which means that shes showing you how to apply ALL different types of foundation... not just what she uses? I know I'd be bummed if I was a cream foundation user who came here for help and only found a powder tutorial! Let the girl do her thing, I love her tips and she often focuses on natural beauty-33

[lorena121272]

HELLO MICHELLE, PLEASE, WHAT IS THE FOUNDATION IN THIS VIDEO, SHADE , MARK??

[6o96o9elaine9o69o6]

guyysss she does have some darkness under her eyes and redness around her nose. cameras don't usually pick up color very well.

[SillyFoooo]

i dont know why but u remind me of a mermaid!

[jadorexxbeauty]

wtf!??

first u moisturize with something that is tinted.

i was like okaaay.....

then u use foundation

i was like umm y?!

then u conceal.

WTF!

i mean u have flawless skin first, and then i mean what DO u have to conceal??? just let ur natural beauty show.

[meetmeinmontaukkk]

@jadorexxbeauty It's a demonstration, ya know...for those of us who aren't as lucky and don't have flawless skin.

[ballewmusic]

HOW OLD ARE YOU >>>.>>.....>...

[riyajain23]

how many times will concal or cover .. ???

[AvonProductsGirl]

I sell Avon, and feel that so many woman really don't know how to apply foundation. You did a nice job. Thank you. :) Ruthie

[moosehr]

MEOW! LOL

[missasyiqinnasir]

good tutorial!

[persnikity12345]

Remember that she's preparing her face the way you prime a canvas before painting - she doesn't have low self-esteem, she's just applying painting skills :P

but i do agree that she's beautiful.

[xTamiaTx]

7 minutes of her patting her face with a damn sponge...whaaa

[electricmoo88]

I'm sorry, but do you need all that concealer/coverage?! Your skin is already flawless.

[tojers]

tu gato xd

[OangieOfullOchampiO]

The cat wants to be made-up too

[mangartistoday1998]

KITTY!!!

[ImaFlancake]

I have such an annoying skin colour, I can never find a foundation I like. It's not pure white. But it's probably the palest colour besides white. Anytime I try to find a foundation, it just looks orange, even if it's the lightest shade! I'm clueless.

[FrannyandHammy]

@ImaFlancake use whiteout LOL

jk~ ♥♥

[MsApples007]

@ImaFlancake Try mixing white foundation with some regular foundation.... It might help :D

[Phoebelol1]

Cute cat :D

[SohPanda]

Is she pressing the foundation to the music?!:D
