 Hello, my YouTube family. Welcome back to today's video, which is going to be a review of a foundation and a concealer If you're new to my channel, welcome, please consider subscribing I'd love to have you here as a part of the family I do beauty videos two to three times a week depending on how my help holds up though if you're interested in that please consider Subscribing okay, what we're gonna do today is the title said we are going to do a try-on test of the news of wave a natural luminous foundation and a jcat beauty stay assurance water proof concealer water proof smudge proof concealer It says zero smudge So I really like both of these products and I've been wearing them for over a week I will tell you ahead of time that I have not had any problems like that this both of these products are just good I barely have to use any of the jcat beauty concealer and it goes on underneath my eyes and covers my under eyes so well And I have such a struggle with that but the coverage on this is fantastic I really have been enjoying both of these for me. They both get you know, two thumbs up They both hit all the marks that I love about foundation and concealer the zoeva. I love how luminous this is It's just really good I will say that if you are on the normal to oily side, you're gonna have to set it down I have to set it down and I have fairly dry skin. I would highly recommend both of these I think that they're just fantastic, but let's get into the demo so that you can see that Okay, first step of course is to prep the face. So I've already got my skin care done and my good friend sherry from graceful beauty Recently talked about the Revlon color stay prep and protect Broad spectrum SPF 34 this she just has said has been a huge game changer for her She made a whole entire video about it and I will link that below if you guys are interested in it Really, it's consistency is quite nice. It is got like a little bit of an off-white cast to it I find that for me I still need to go in with just a little bit of Poor refining around my nose and around my cheeks chin and you know, just kind of this t-zone area So I'm gonna do that with the Revolution This is their poor perfecting primer This is like a putty primer and I'm just going to put that around on the spots that I know that I Absolutely, definitely have these huge pores another step that I never miss for my concealers is from Katrina This is the under eye primer. I love this stuff. I've heard both negative and positive about it However, I think it's just a positive I love how hydrating it is how that plumping effect that I do feel underneath my eyes as I'm getting ready and Yeah, for me that is just a win-win Absolutely another thing I'm gonna do is color correct with my LA girl peach color corrector I have super super dark circles So if you have dark circles too, you might really like to try a color corrector And then I just dab it in and I let it sit there while I'm doing other things that way It should kind of you know set down on the under eye And then won't interfere with mixing with your concealer and making it a little bit too orange So with those the wave of foundation I wear I it's called charismatic, but I know it's a cool color I think it's zero nine zero C So it's a very cool color But I don't find that it is too cool if that makes any sense because you know usually cool colors they have That pink undertone. I don't really find that this is too pink for me I do like the bottle on this it is a glass bottle and I use two pumps on the back of my hand To do my whole face and then I just dot that around The reason I use two whole pumps is because of all the discoloration down on my chest About a pump of that really does go down there on my chest. Hey now I just take a primer mist or Hydrating setting mist and I spray my sponge with it. This is a real technique sponge. I love this thing It is stained, but it's still good. So I use it and I spray that I like to spray my sponge because I feel like I get a little bit more evened Coverage and the other thing is I feel like it thins down the foundation a little bit and It just seems to glide over my skin a little better when I do spray my sponge Just kind of a tip the other thing it does is it kind of if you use a hydrating setting spray You're kind of mixing hydration with your foundation Which I like and I'm just going to dab and pat and take a lot of time to work this in I have a lot of discoloration right on my cheeks around my nose and then I have some pretty good age spots right back here I will show those to you a little bit closer up as we get a little bit further So you can see how well it covered or did not cover and you're just going to bounce that around What I like about this foundation the most is its luminous finish I just think it's just so pretty and like I said I worn it for a whole week and I really really fell in love with it I just think it's just a really good one for coverage the way it's covering right now Hopefully you guys can see all of that it really isn't like sitting on my skin to where I feel like I have a heavy foundation on my skin Okay, I'm going to get really close you guys and hopefully you can see the discoloration and the age spots right through here and it's still not covering my hyper pigmentation right here on my cheeks And then here's the other one I am going to use about half a pump more But I'm going to spray my brush once and then I'm going to put that half a pump directly onto the sponge The reason is is and then I'm going to spread it out just a little bit towards the tip I want a little bit more coverage in these areas, but I personally don't want to go in With a concealer because first, you know when I do the concealer trick It just doesn't quite still look like skin. It looks like I've actually caked up makeup on there I'm just lightly touching it In order to get a little bit more foundation on there And then I'm going to go in and I'm just going to press around those areas that had The parts that were really bothering me. So what's going to happen is it's going to cover well But it's not going to cover it up to the point To where it doesn't still look like skin So let me get close again and you should be able to see it that it really did help cover that It also helped get rid of the redness right here and again on this side So if you have age spots if you have Maybe acne scars anything like that a little bit on your sponge that gives it a little bit extra and then just kind of dab And don't like continue to dab until it's all wiped away beautiful foundation you guys. I absolutely love this foundation I think it's so pretty. Okay. Next thing I'm going to do is I'm going to tap underneath these eyes right here So that none of the color corrector got into the the fine lines and settled in there And what I'm going to do is I'm going to put a very very small amount the smallest amount You can get away with to cover everything and then we're going to layer it if we need to but for right now We're just going for the minimal amount. So I'm going to dot Ever so slightly on both sides Couple dots you can always add more but it's harder to take away Okay, I like using my fingers because I feel like the warmth of the fingers melds with the product and you get a better blend That's just my opinion lots of people like to use a brush and lots of people like to use the makeup sponge But for me, this just works better. I seem to not get quite so cakey with the fingers I hope you guys can see how well this is taking away All of that darkness and it's just looking absolutely gorgeous. I love having A very thin layer. It just looks so much better than having a lot under there And then throughout the day when you smile your expression lines your capiness under there It can really get to looking very cakey. So for me, it's really important to just have one coat So that was one coat you guys. I hope that you can see how good it covered It did such a good job kind of see from the shine right here. It's quite dewy I love the luminous effect it gives but if you're anybody that gets hot Or you get hot flashes at all, which I get them all the time now It's really hard to not set your makeup But if I set my makeup at this point sometimes I'm going to feel like It's set and then it takes away all that pretty luminosity Or it just sets in the pores. It starts to look cakey all those things you just don't want So what I've been doing is I've been taking that same spray. It's called seal the deal But this is the hydrating one from flower beauty. I love this. I love the mist on it And you guys, this is just my way of doing things My sister-in-law actually told me about this and that so I've been trying this out It's just been working really well I'm going to really Douse my my face here with this stuff and then I'm going to let it dry And then I'm going to go in and I'm going to buff it a little bit with powder And you guys should be able to see what it looks like. So let me do this Now I'm just going to get my fan out. I'm going to dry that down And then before I start in with powder I'm going to go and I'm going to look at my under eyes and make sure that nothing settles And then I'm going to use the Maybelline Fit me loose powder I love this powder and I'm just going to use a fluffy Dumped brush from it cosmetics that I'm going to just dip my brush into the powder Tap any excess off. I'm going to start down here with my neck And I'm going to buff my neck really well because like I said I put a lot of makeup down there because I have so much discoloration And then I'm going to start on the jawline. I work upwards I like to start from the bottom and go up and the other thing is every time Because I know that what's just happened is, you know, I've just sprayed my face So I'm going to go into any of those crevices that collect and I'm just going to tap them To make sure that when I put my powder in there, there's not going to be a bunch of excess gathering Of the makeup or the powder or anything when I do that and so I'm just kind of buffing Across everywhere. I'm not going to do right here on my cheeks because that's where my cheek makeup goes But everywhere else is going to get buffed out real good And then I'm going to ever so lightly just buff across that concealer not with extra powder on my brush I'm just buffing under the eyes or not even really buffing just kind of tapping and setting underneath the eyes Okay, you guys I want to show you how that looks all the way around there Now normally the very last step that I would do would be a step after everything's done But for the sake of this being just a foundation concealer tutorial I'm going to go ahead and spray my skin. This is with the cover FX illuminating setting spray You can hear that ball rolling around that's mixing particles So I just feel like this is a really important step for me To bring back any luminosity or any dewy look to my skin that that loose setting powder took away And I'm not doing a lot of this can almost see immediately what that setting spray does to the skin It gives it a really nice glow. I wanted to show you what I do with the lancome absolute powder I put this in my favorites this month. I put the setting spray in my favorites this month This is the routine that I've been doing lately that I just love so I dip a fluffy brush This is just a fluffy one I got from elf for like 10 dollars. I think and I really love it So this is just a very very light very soft fluffy brush And I'm getting just a little bit of that powder onto that brush And I'm just going to tap along where the high points are And you know kind of buff that out just a little bit just to liven up the face It's almost like you're doing a bronzer type sweeping motion So it's really light. It's really airy then you can take whatever's left on the brush and go into your whole entire face If you want to the last step is not necessary and I know that the lancome is expensive And I know the spray is expensive If you are somebody that is looking for something that is a little bit less expensive than the spray Go ahead and try the l'oreal Glow spray. I think it is I'll make sure that I link it below Also, if you're looking for something less expensive than the absolute powder you can try the Flower beauty glow powder. That's really good too. So I'll link both of those below so that you guys know All right, you guys that is how everything looks after I put on the whole face I am doing another Kind of demo for you guys on the new it girl beauty book that they put out every year So if you're interested in how I got the look That's going to be up if it's already up. I'll make sure I link it below It is really a good foundation and a good concealer for giving me a bare minimum of eight to 10 hours I just feel like it's just so pretty Even at that mark now at that mark. I start to wear down for the day I don't really ever wear my foundations for 12 to 16 hours personally But I have worn these for one time for a total of 12 hours And it still did look pretty good I did get a little separating around my nose and a little bit right here on my chin I get that with almost every foundation though It's not something that I can really get away from as far as the jcat concealer I have extreme and I do mean extreme laugh lines underneath my eyes So, you know, occasionally during the day if I have on other concealers I will have to just pat with my finger to kind of freshen it up I haven't found that to be the case with this one as far as it creasing now Again, I haven't worn it in super hot climate at all But the climate that is right now which is going on, you know, fall into winter has just been really good for it So that's everything for today's video.
