Tutorial- Liquid Foundation Application

[KristinaGogeta]

it makes your skin look good :]

[AnastasiafyMe]

im scared about picking a color. i hate not matching with my neck.

im not asian (sorry im not racist i just heard they use a different undertone? idk) and i have a medium complexion. not pale but not orange, in the middle. how can i pick a right color?

and where did you get that sponge, is it cheap?

whats the difference between ivory and beige?

[MoonbeamBeauty]

I'd try getting 3 of the foundations: one you think will match, one lighter, and one darker. Buy them at a store like Ulta and keep the receipt so you can return the ones that don't match (I know Ulta takes open returns but stores like Target don't, etc).

The sponge is part of the Sonia Kashuk line, sold at Target. It may be discontinued though, I haven't seen it in awhile. If you can find it I think it's between $5-10.

Ivory is the lightest, beige is darker (for this foundation).

[hellomynameisjessica]

oh how i love this foundation :) this is also the only foundation that ive found that comes light enough for me, yay for paleness haha xx

[SuperGoodnplenty]

girl you are very beautiful, I enjoyed learning from you....Thank you

[SuperGoodnplenty]

girl you are very beautiful, I enjoyed watching you and learning from you thank you

[qtlicious100]

they came together?

[arntu]

You are so pretty! I'm totally going to try this product. I also have fair skin. It's great to see a tutorial that applies to me!

[UrLuckyyCharm]

HOLY GOOD GOD.

[Azsharis]

For skin with a lot of redness..is it better to get a foundation with pink undertones, or yellow? Please answer! <3

[iluvpenguins007]

yellow or green.

definetely not pink - pinks for dull grey skin

[MoonbeamBeauty]

It depends. Some people have the theory if you're warm, get cool-toned foundation to balance it out. Others go with getting cool toned foundation for cool toned skin, to blend in. I have some redness and use a cool-toned foundation (pinker) or neutral, not warm (yellow).

[MichaelLivesNMyHeart]

Thanks a bunch!

[MichaelLivesNMyHeart]

What shade are you?

[MoonbeamBeauty]

The lightest shade- 110 ivory.

[almireefoshiezee]

i have that same sonia kashuk sponge as you do, and i'm just curious. on the other side of the sponge, what is that pointed tip for? is it for blending in the concealer under your under eye cirlcles?

[MoonbeamBeauty]

Yeah, basically for getting small areas like under the eyes or around the nose.

[miss0ashton]

WOW o o  0 !!!!

[pinkcherries64]

Hey Moonbeambeauty! I love your videos! I have a question... In your Revlon Colorstay Foundation review you were using 110 Ivory; is that what you're using in this video??

Thanks!

~Amy

[MoonbeamBeauty]

Yup, that's the one.

[msgmejonasbrothers]

hey this helps ! But what do u do when theres a color difference from your face to your neck? how do u prevent that

[MoonbeamBeauty]

Glad I could help!

[MissManners1979]

Does this makeup dry your skin out? It did mine a little bit. How much do you use for your entire face, about a quater's worth or more? Your skin is SO gorgeous, peaches and cream!

[MoonbeamBeauty]

I didn't notice it doing that to mine, maybe you could try the normal-dry formula, though that one has a dewey rather than matte finish. I use just over a quarter's amount for my face (hard to estimate because it spreads out quickly).

[ahm0774]

why do people use primers?

[RainbowRockets]

it leaves a layer between your face and the foundation. So it keeps your face protected from clogged pores or skin irritation. also people with mild acne like to protect there face from getting worse

[FloridaSweety]

Did you use powder over this or no?  If so, which one? Your skin is lovely with this makeup, I love Colorstay.

[MoonbeamBeauty]

Yes, at the time I made this vid I used Bare Minerals' Mineral Veil over it.

[badazzbarbi]

heyyy.. does ivory have really pink undertones?

[MoonbeamBeauty]

The dry formula does more than the oily formula, but they both do. I think the next shade up is more yellow.

[meandyoujojo]

i went t target one time and i asked soe lady for a blue sponge used for makeup and she din't know what i was talking about. so when i got there, where can i find it? which isle or department?

[MoonbeamBeauty]

There should be one makeup aisle with the sonia Kashuk brand. If it's not there, your target doesn't have it and you can get it from their website.

[customanimalart]

I love this colorstay. The best foundation I have ever used.

If you want a pump for them as I did, I went onto ebay and bought some airless pumps and just poured the product into them. Anything leftover in the original bottle, I just use up before I go to the pumps.( I keep them upside down so I can get all the product to flow to the lid area of the bottle)

Airless pumps ROCK! They are really hard to find in the US, so be prepared to order from the UK.

Nice review...THX

[KittyKlassy]

REALLY awesome (: i`m definitely gonna give this sponge a try !

[applegrace88]

You look really pretty with your hair tied back! Great video, thanks!

[gurbetkiziipek]

got revlon today its cool :)

got a qn.

i use a triangle sponge, and when i clean it it smells horrible so i end up throughin it away.

how do you clean your sponge?

[MoonbeamBeauty]

I just use my brush shampoo (from Bare Escentuals) and work it into the sponge, hold it under running water, and squeeze it a few times to work the shampoo in and rinse it out.

[jennayy5]

What color did you use the Revlon in? Buff?

[MoonbeamBeauty]

110 ivory, the lightest shade.

[jennayy5]

Wow, excellent Video. <3

[missleelee21]

hey great vid, ima buy me one of tjose sponges hehehe wow.. wonder if they have that in Australia..???

[emilyg21]

beautiful coverage. i've been toying with the idea of giving this foundation a try for a couple of weeks, and this tutorial has just convinced me to go out and get it. excellent video!

[pinkpscheib]

im hopefully buying this tomorrow, and this totally helped me see the results. its a beautiful finish :D

[carebeargirl1981]

Great video! i'm gonna try this sponge thanks =)

[fixmereene]

what a great video!!!!...I have really enjoyed it...you look amazing and everything you say sounds very proffesional...one of the rare videos showing just about everything there is to know about foundation application...great,keep up the good work!!!

absolutely fun to watch and very educational!!

:))))

[fixmereene]

you are soooo fantastic...I've watched several thousand makeup application videos, but not one of them was so spontaneous,educative and beautiful presented like your videos...very proffesional,very easy and fun to watch...just perfect!!too bad the light isnt as real as I wanted it to be, but that's Youtube I guess....you look absolutely beautiful!!

thank you for the vid!!:)))

[DearDottieWhatDoIDo]

that foundation matches your skin tone so well and your acccent is soo cutee!

i have acne scars too do you use any acne cream to get rid of them?

[MoonbeamBeauty]

I haven't been but I recently bought neutrogena's 2-1 fight and fade gel that is supposed to help get rid of them. I'll do a review on it after I see some results.

[ACheapShopaholic]

Thanks for posting this!! I have a lot of redness on my cheeks and I think this foundation will help even out my skintone. I'm going to buy a bottle of this tomorrow.

[aethynyc]

You make AWESOME vids =) I love how you keep reminding yourself to show yourself to the camera... very nice.

You're going to make me spend my money on the Revlon foundation!!! haha.

[xxcupcakelove]

awesome video, thank you so much - you've persuaded me to go out and try this foundation :)

[broncosass299]

where do u buy these kinda sponges from?

[MoonbeamBeauty]

The sonia kashuk sponge is sold exclusively at Target and their website.

[dorismars]

Wow that foundation looks great on you!

[RachelB263]

okay i have a few questions haha. i was just wondering what color foundation you have because our skin tones look similar and i always buy the wrong color, haha. and like, how do you wash the sponge? and how often do you wash it and how do you store it and stuff? i really want one, it seems so much faster and looks nicer than using a foundation brush. so yeahhh :D just wondering. oh and why do you have to let the foundation dry? i never do :/ thankssssss. your videos are amazing.

[MoonbeamBeauty]

I use my regular brush shampoo to wash the sponge, the same way as how I talked about saturating it with water before using it. I just work the shampoo, fill, squeeze. I wash it every few weeks because I only use it once or twice a week. I use the Revlon CS lightest color. I just store it in a cup that holds hair clips and random things on my makeup dresser. I let the foundation dry so the powders don't cake or streak. If using another cream, apply when foundation is damp.

[RachelB263]

okay thank you. :D i bought the foundation and it works soo well. i really want the sponge too. i've never thought about letting foundation dry, but it really makes sense, i better start doing that...:D thanks again!

[imhere4eva12345]

Wow that foundation looks great on you!

[cosmeticlove190]

thankss!!! this video is helpful! and the fondation color really brings out your hair color(:

[dziobaczka18]

this video was really helpfull!

I really enjoy it..and I think that using a sponge it's the best way to apply liqiud foundation

[yellowkitty69]

ur so nice :)

[EmmerRose]

is this the one with soft flex?

[MoonbeamBeauty]

Yeah

[kuragarine]

Thanks for the excellent video. I do have a question though. I'm just starting out on makeup and I just bought the Revlon Colorstay for Normal/Dry Skin. It was on a sale so I bought two that are between my skin tone. However, after a few minutes of applying, the foundation turned orange on me.

[MoonbeamBeauty]

Alot of drugstore foundations are darker than they appear or oxidize, turning darker on skin. I'd exchange them for a shade lighter if you can. Or just to be safe exchange one for one shade lighter and the other for 2 shades lighter.

[kuragarine]

Thanks a lot. I was thinking about mixing Ivory with Buff because the ones I bought were Buff and Sand Beige. But if I do this, will it still match my yellow undertone?

[MoonbeamBeauty]

Ivory has pink undertones, so I don't think so. It may end up looking grey. If you want to mix it with something I'd try the makeup forever flash color in white, it lightens it without messing witht the texture or formula.

[saywhatlauren]

Did you purchase that sponge at target?

[MoonbeamBeauty]

Yah, the sonia kashuk line is only available at Target. If it's not at your local store, look at on target's website. The name is just "blending sponge"

[FaKATz3]

Thanks for your reply. (:

This video really helped me!

Would you recommened it as just an Eye concelear for school?

[MoonbeamBeauty]

For me that's the only place it doesn't cover well enough. I'd get the Clinique Line Smoothing concealor, or Bare Escentuals Well Rested if you prefer powders.

[FaKATz3]

Thanks for the info. (:

I'll go to the Drugstore when I get the chance too, and try both of them out.

[Dottilicious]

Wow! That is a big difference! I think I'm gonna try Revlon Colorstay too after seeing your video. You look flawless!!

[whenturtlesfly]

thanks for the great video!!

i just wanted to ask...is powder absolutely necessary after you put the foundation on? i know it's good for setting, but i don't like seeing powder on skin. but if it's necessary than i'll bite the bullet and buy it.

also...if you touch your skin after, does foundation come off on your hands?

THANK YOU! great tutorial. :)

and you are beautiful.

[MoonbeamBeauty]

I think it is, for setting and because I'm oily so without powder I get really shiny. If you use a translucent powder and only use a tiny bit you shouldn't be able to see it. I've never had the foundation come off when I touch my skin.

[whenturtlesfly]

thank you for taking the time to respond!

i bought both the revlon colorstay and also the sonia kashuk sponge after seeing your videos. they are fantastic. thanks!

[socalsqt951]

Wow!

This is definetly an influencing video

Thank God!

Im soo going to buy this TODAY.

[idledreams24]

wow it covered so good, so clear! but does it look like ur wearing foundation wen u go out? or does it have a nice natural look? i love the glowy oil look too very nice :)

[MoonbeamBeauty]

If you use the right shade and blend it well, you really can't tell. I have had some minor issues with oxidation, but it doesn't happen every time, I'm trying to figure out the cause of it. 99% of the time it looks really natural though.

[pyang264]

what kind of camera are you using??..

[MoonbeamBeauty]

A canon S3-IS

[Randomprincess16]

What foundation did you use??

[MoonbeamBeauty]

Revlon Colorstay liquid in combo/oily formula.  I have a review on this foundation as well.

[RebeccaJayne1992]

There Is No Cool Stuff Like That In England Lol Im Going America In A Month Ill Buy Some Make Up Sponges YaY x

[asm1976]

That's really amazing!

[chrisbrown2483]

i use one of them triangle kind of sponges should i do the same to that like soak it and stuff????

[MoonbeamBeauty]

Yes, to prevent the foundation from sokaing in, but it won't quite give the same effect. The blue sponge is more dense, so it's better for stippling and provides better coverage.

[babypink010]

Wow, that's amazing coverage.but I have a question.I was told that have a difficulty in cleansing.How do u rub off your make-up?

Could I clean foundation with 'tiss oil of

SHISEIDO'?

[MoonbeamBeauty]

I just use my regular cleaners and toners shown in my skincare video, and I don't have a problem getting it off.

[JENNYJAZ1618]

wow great vid. im convinced im gona buy d colorstay and the sponge BTW d sponge looks really cute;)

[EyesLikeEgypt]

WOW, this tutorial really convinced me to buy this foundation. I've been eyeing it for while but I see that it has AMAZING coverage. Do u think the sponge is what makes it go on flawlessly? Or can it be achieved with a foundation brush as well?

[MoonbeamBeauty]

I think this sponge has alot to do with it (not the regular wedge sponges, those are no where near as dense).  If using any brush, I'd maybe use one like the MAC 187 to still stipple it on, I think foundation brushes can get streaky unless you're really careful. And stippling gives fuller coverage.

[jennysam26]

wow the sponge looks like it really helps to even out the makeup.... buying it!!!! haha

[striv08]

awesome...nice tutorial,btw as u said ur previous video u purchased ur sponge in target,i went there but i didnt get....

[junkie4makeup]

Thx so much! You explained so well how to use the sponge, etc.. exactly what I was hoping for.I went out & got the sponge & it works much better than anything else I've ever tried, thanks again for the great find. Also, do you stipple on your powder (assuming you use the Colostay?) after your foundation has dried or use a brush and swirl it on? Keep up the great video's,can't wait to see the one on your luminous skin.

[MoonbeamBeauty]

I use Bare Mineral's mineral veil and use a brush (bare minerals full flawless face) to buff it on.

[Floridahottie184]

came out really nice!!

[MoonbeamBeauty]

Thanks!

[menbp]

Thank you for doing this video, I have been anxious to see how good this sponge would work after you had mentioned it in one of your previous videos. I enjoy watching your videos, you are very sweet and your voice is so calming. Keep up the great work!

[MoonbeamBeauty]

Thanks so much!  Glad you liked it.

[princessdee01]

loved it ;D
