My husband tells me no one looks at me close enough to see the imperfections (that I see in my 10x magnifying mirror). 😂 In my head, everyone is up THAT close. Haha

I've definitely seen another MUA warn against over moisturizing before applying makeup. And another who was very big on only using foundation in areas where it was needed and not all over. And I've seen at least one derm say if you want to shrink pores, don't stand so close to the mirror. And not sure who said it, but stepping away from the magnifying mirrors was another suggestion as nobody should be standing that close to your face.

I know what “pilling” is very well but I have never seen someone show in their content what that actually means and looks like for those that are not aware. <br><br>Great job Gabi!❤

This works! Was about to throw out my £40 foundation as it was sinking into the lines on my 73 year old face, leaving it looking crepey & papery. I followed along with the video and what a difference! I used the damp sponge method, needed very little foundation and the finished look is way more plumped and smooth. Thank you!!

A note about sunscreen ☀️ If you have oily skin use a sunscreen moisturizer (like Eucerin Clear Skin 50) instead of using moisturizer AND sunscreen. It cuts down on the greasy face problem ☀️

I think another way that foundation can look more like makeup is to ONLY put foundation on. I have friends that like to look “natural” and only use foundation. I feel that since the natural colors of the skin have been removed it looks MORE like makeup not less. My mom always told me, if you are going to use foundation, add back a little blush and some kind of lip product.

I would love it if you would put a video out showing us how to determine our skin. From identifying our pores, what we need to look for and how to address those issues. You talk about issues often but not how to determine how those issues present themselves. I'm 55, post chemotherapy for NH lymphoma. My skin has always been so easy to work with until this last year. Suddenly none of the products that were perfect no longer work at all. Along with age, my post chemo hair growth is a completely different texture, color, and some is curly, some is course. It's also 20 different shades of gray and silver. I no longer recognize myself in the mirror. It has depleted my confidence. I would give my entire world to get a chance to have your help. Please do a video for women who are struggling with post chemo issues. I can't be the only one struggling like I am. Thank you so much, you are the only influencer that I watch. I think you really care, thank you! Blessings, Miss Tiffany

Primers can be hit and miss & sometimes ruin the application of makeup (& can be expensive) - so I only use it in the corners of my nose now. I think they're very overrated- a good moisturiser does the job.

Almost all beauty videos are same, but this is the best video I have seen in my 15 years of using YouTube for beauty. Thank you

I had to come back to comment on this vid. I watched it about 2 weeks ago, started using your advice, and it has revolutioned what my foundation looks like. My base looks SO good now, I felt the need to come back and comment because it has been such a game changer lol

True….our mirrors, especially the magnifying ones, exaggerate the surface and imperfections which makes us self conscious. I like looking in a full length mirror to get a sense of my overall appearance, not just my outfit, but also my face. People don’t see just my face, so I want to approve the entire package so to speak. 😊
