My Goodness, I have been applying makeup for over 50 years now, and every time I watch one of your videos, I learn so much! You are such a good instructor! Nikki, you are so professional! Thank you for all you do!💕😊🙋♀️🇨🇦
Seriously, she is amazing. My makeup has gotten so much better since finding Nikki. Not just her tips but the products & brushes she recommends are always great.
I would love to see videos of you working on models with "issues" to show us how to address things like: acne, dark circles, etc. Your skin and face are pretty much perfect, so we need to see you help fix REAL people problems! 🙂
Trust me when I say this there is no perfect skin🤣 that’s a huge myth, you aren’t seeing her skin up close the camera is the one doing it all. But yes I do agree and I know she also said it in so many lives that she wants to have time to get models to do videos on them such as for hyperpigmentation🥹 so we just gotta wait plus Nikki is a makeup artist too so all this information is still useful💃🏻 I tried it on someone and seriously!!! Game changer♥️ they have hyperpigmentation and melasma so using Nikki’s makeup advice helped her big time
Professor La Rose is in the building!!! One thing I've picked up from you is to heavily utilize stipling/tapping instead of heavy swiping! Since I started gently stipling in my foundation/cream bronzer/blush.... literal Game changer!
@@Makeupbynikkilaroseyou’re both rockstars. We appreciate all the hard work you both do for this amazing community. Mahalo for everything, Nikki and Mitch. ❤
I’m definitely not a beginner (I’m 62 lol), but I am always on the lookout for new (to me) ways to apply makeup. I always come away from your videos with new methods to try, so I thank you for that! The biggest takeaway for me today is letting my concealer sit for a bit before I blend. I usually jump right in and start blending and it basically disappears. We are taking our granddaughter out to eat tonight for her birthday so I’ll try this then!
Hi Carolyn! Yes! Definitely try the concealer tip and let me know what you think, you’ll keep the coverage and it will be so long lasting. Have the best time with your granddaughter tonight!!!🥳❤️
@@MakeupbynikkilaroseI could tell a difference right away in the coverage and it did last through the evening! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skill!
I too am in my sixties. But my make up application did not change as products and techniques have. I am so grateful to you. For all these tips have made a change to my overall routine and has dramatically enhanced my appearance. Thank you. 🌹
I have hooded eyes, asymmetrical hooded eyes, and eyeliner always looks ridiculous on me... I think your eyeliner tip will help, so thank you for that! ☺️ I appreciate all that you do for us Nikki 🩷
@omomo202 I've been experimentING with just drawing the wing straight out with only powder. My hood fold doesn't point downward that much right now so I can kind of avoid it. But still hard😩
The drying down of the concealer was the big takeaway for me! All concealers just blended right off for me! Now I realized that I just needed to let them dry a little before blending! Life changing! ❤ now all my concealers work all of a sudden. 😂
OMGGGG!!!! I used your two tips for applying the foundation and the concealer- I look 15 years YOUNGER!!!!! I love watching your videos and practicing while my significant other watches football. Sometimes I try different tricks on each side of my face. Good thing we stay home Sunday afternoons. I am one of those women who drives to work and puts 5 minutes of make up in the car (yay! natural light) unless it is a special occasion or date night. Plus I am not a morning person. This is DEFINITELY worth waking up earlier to do every morning. A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU! This may sound silly but this is life changing. God bless you!
I love these videos where you teach us, so helpful!! I’m going to watch this again later with my daughters. We all learn so much from you, thank you!! 💙💙💙
Mitch Mitch & Nikki : why this girl isn’t at 1m is beyond me. As a mature skin gal, I learn something every vid. Plus Nikki likes dogs ( plus) and jewelry ( plus) she’s humble and an excellent teacher . Thank you both for doing the right things always . ❤❤❤
Amazing and thank you so so much. I’m 68 and i went to my 50th high school reunion wearing make up that was done with your tips!! Cream bronzer before blush.. amazing .. double powder the concealer and OMG, so so much tapping with really made a difference.. best tip of all, the double spray of setting spray really made it all last well into the night. Thank you so much.. would LOVE more like this . , joanne from boston
Thank you for the tips. I can never get my concealer to stop creasing. I am definitely going to use the double loose powder method today! Thank you again!!!
First time viewer and now subscriber here! I watched this video from start to finish and wow I’m so impressed. You’re very clear in your instruction and you break it down in a way that inspires confidence. I tried your eyeliner technique this morning and was so proud of myself. Thank you! Looking forward to learning more from your videos. ❤
I concur, on everything! Same here! I just found her channel through one of her shorts and I'm so happy. Actually paused the video to subscribe. She explains so well and clear, it's a joy! This one video cleared up a jumble of disparate questions I had which would have taken hours to Google separately. I'm a very strongly verbal and theoretical learner and autistic, so the more there's going on in a video and the more I need to rely on just watching and hoping I draw the right theoretical conclusions, the worse I'm learning. The clean, crisp visuals no distraction in the form of background or music and her explanations not only how but also why - all perfect for me! I'm off to watch some more of her videos... Maybe I find something about concealing violet panda eyes. Asking for a friend...
Thank you so much for your videos Nikki. I’d love to see you in your make up artist element doing makeup on a variety of faces so we can also see how you approach those….dont get me wrong I can watch you do your own makeup every day but I think we could learn even more seeing how you approach different ages and face shapes, tones etc etc 😊 ❤
Nikki, I just learned from you so much. I followed up your advice on how to apply foundation and it looks flawless, but also natural. Thanks for all your professional make-up tips. Please keep them coming.
Nikki, thank you so much for your videos! As a beginner, I am obsessed with your channel and taking notes of everything you share with us. I bought my foundation after watching your videos so many times. As a suggestion, I’d love to see a video about concealers, more specifically talking about how to choose a good shade. I’ve been struggling to figure out which one I should pick… same shade as my skin? Lighter? Darker? What’s the different and what kind of effects I’ll get? Those are the kinds of questions I usually have :) again, thank you so much for your high quality videos
Thank you so much for this feedback! I’m so happy my videos have been helping you! And to the concealer video YESS I’ve actually been meaning to film that for a long time now so thank you for the reminder!!
Please never ever quit RUclips! I love love learning about makeup techniques and how to make my own makeup look dang near delectable! We may be on opposite ends of foundation shades BUT you’re so skilled and talented! I’m taking all the tips! Also your ear piercings are fire 🔥! I love your videos and thank you for making them!💛
Great video ! Watching you for years and I love your knowledge and talent . Was wondering if you could do a video on how you coordinate your blush to your lipstick color ? Would be so helpful ❤
Although we see you do these techniques in most all of your videos, it is nice to have them detailed out in one video 🙌🏼 thank you Nikki and Mitch! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🖤
I have gotten so good at doing my make up since watching your videos! From technique to better products for my skin type, it’s just amazing and I’m so happy that I found your channel!
I love these videos Nikki, they are so helpful!!! I don't wear makeup everyday but when I do, I am always referring back to your videos for tips especially when I find products I like!
At 48 yrs old, I am a newbie to makeup (I only did the basics). I am learning so much from your channel and so grateful, so thank you! I have a quick question on blush, is there proper placement for a particular face shape? I tend to place blush on the apples of my cheeks, but I see other people placing it higher on their cheekbones. Is that the most universally flattering or is there different placements depending on your face shape? Again, thank you for being such a great educator in this space! I am learning so much!💕
This is very soothing to read that I'm not alone in learning to do my makeup better after 40! Until now, I was sadly too busy surviving and coping and my disabilities leave little energy, so makeup is a luxury for me in many ways. But I've realised it's something I always wanted to be able to do for myself and do it better than the bare minimum of lipstick and mascara. And I'm self conscious of the fact that most who start learning make-up skills are probably less than half my age, silly as that notion is. So your comment and a few others really helped me to hopefully stop thinking about that and starting to just enjoy the learning process. I'm an artist, the techniques like handling brushes come easily to me. It's my perfectionism and some of my disabilities (like shaking hands) that get in the way... So thanks for sharing your experience and your age, it helped! Wishing you all the best and so much fun with your own learning! Kindest greetings, Mara
Thank you Nikki! The way you explain things are so real… you are a very successful woman and so approachable and down to earth! Thank you from a Math teacher who loves to do makeup in the morning to feel good ❤❤❤❤! Btw l just bought your N17 brush 😊… it is a splurge for me but l think lt will Help my foundation to look better!
I was a makeup artist back in the day, and I learn so much from your videos. I save them in a separate file on youtube so i can refer back to them on the fly. Thank you so much Nikki for sharing your expertise.
Thank you Nikki! What a Great Pro Tips for Beginners Guide for pro application of makeup. That’s one mistake i was making; not allowing my concealer to dry down a bit before taping into my skin. It made a huge difference. And I thank YOU,! I will be at Church during your live Sun so, once again will watch afterwards. 😊
Thanks for yet another really helpful video 🙏 Interested to know your thoughts on brush priming & stick foundations? I’ve just switched to the Dior stick & see most users apply directly to the face. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your dedication to helping us look better everyday. If you use a stick foundation, do you work the foundation into your brush the same as you did in this video? Thank you!
Hi Nikki love your videos!!! I needed help, for some reason I’ve tried a couple of eyebrow gels (benefit, Anastasia, ELF, refy) they all cause my eyebrow hair to crust and look dusty. Do you have any tips?
You have literally changed my make up life! You did a Nikki uncut where you did how to do Long wearing makeup a few weeks ago and it has literally changed the game for me. Thank you so much for all of your tips!
Nikki, I am so thankful to your RUclips channel because your expertise is top notch. You explain and demonstrate each step so simply which allow us to implement them on ourselves. The best part is that what you teach us works is ageless because is about technique and doing things correctly. To tell you the truth, I forget that I am 60 years young and I really did not struggle much with makeup because I have always loved playing with makeup. I was that big Sister playing makeup and putting makeup on my little 2 year old Sister! However last year 2023, I did not use makeup at all. I was fighting for my life. Within 6 months, I almost died 3 times battling cancer. I had a lymphoma the size of a small watermelon growing onto my throat, ear, neck, throat, brain. Then I was told I had stage 4 cancer on my face, neck, stomach, spleen, liver, kidneys, one lung and bone marrow. Towards the end of my fight, my body shut down, I experienced complete hearing loss and I was incubated and put into a medical coma. I had emergency surgery while I was still in the coma to safe my life. My body was rejecting the port implant where they were administering the chemo from. It was definitely a terrible ordeal but, I did not do it on my own. Once I became conscious and realized I had no control of anything and had no strength whatsoever, I had God to surrender it all. He carried me through it all. I held on to Him and when it became unbearable, I prayed and praised God and it got better. I was told it would take a while for me to go home because I would need rehabilitation and would have to learn to walk again and get strong. Well, I claimed differently with God! God and I had plans! I went home a week after a woke up from my coma. I walked the day before and I was able to spend my Son's birthday at home with him. They had to discharge me because my exam results stated, I was cancer free!!! Two weeks later, my hearing was also restored to normal!! It's been a year since my ordeal and it hasn't been an easy road towards my recovery. I had complete hair and tooth loss, scars from the surgery, and dark-skin damage from being allergic to medical tape. I have great days and I have blessed days when I have to remind myself of my blessings. I look like I have gone through a battlefield but, I am so grateful for my blessings. I started getting reacquainted with the new me. I am so thankful I have my love of makeup to help me get a little of the old me back. Some people think makeup is no big deal but it really is. You have helped me so much by sharing your skills with us and because of it, you have enriched my life. Don't forget it Nikki, you are making a difference, your passion and sacrifices are making a difference. I look forward to watching your next video and playing makeup! 💯💖🙏🏽💄🦋😘🙌🏽✨🐶🌹🤗✌🏽
I love all of the pro tips! 😍🙏 Thank you ☺️ What stunning lip liner do you have on from the beginning and what do you have on the lips at the end? 😮 It’s sooo beautiful! 😍
Hi Nikki, do you think that when you work your foundation in the way you showed us, that it breaks down sunscreen and makes sunscreen more ineffective or do you think it blends together so you still have the same protection?
I know I sound like a kid but these tips are actually mind blowing 😅 I love this type of video ! High speed, amazing tips! You are sooooo helpful! I wear make up everyday and I feel I have improved my technique and look a lot since watching your videos! Sooo appreciated! And my skin has even improved because of it! Love you girl! ❤
This was such an informative video. Nikki, I’ve watched most of your videos this past year, and have learned so much about makeup. I was a minimal makeup user and still like the no makeup look (now in my 70’s) but your techniques and product recommendations have been spot on. I discarded all my high end, old, probably expired cosmetics for new recommendations, and the difference is astounding. Cosmetics and skin care has improved tremendously over the years. I’m so appreciative that you share your expertise. Invaluable.
This was so helpful, especially the demos! I had no idea how much I needed to get in there and blend and buff my foundation. It made such a big difference when I tried it this morning!
Loved loved this tutorial Nikki! You’re the best teacher and even now in my 50s I learn so much from you. Every time I implement your tips my makeup looks flawless and most importantly, so pretty. By the way I bought your brushes a couple months ago and love them!
I adore you Nikki!! Thank you so much for putting in the time and effort to teach us how to love ourselves through makeup❤ Hope you and your family have a great day!
Doing my makeup as i rewatch this amazing video, trying out all these tips right now!! Thank you for all the helpful tips to achieve a a flawless makeup application!!
One thing I love about you and your style of makeup is that it’s never overwhelming. Even when you wear more makeup, it’s always tastefully done. Some influencers are definitely looking for shock value, and it’s highly annoying.
I found you a couple weeks ago, and i am binge watching your channel like you were on Netflix!! I fell off my horse and broke my knee, so I am learning a million different tips to play with once I can sit at my makeup desk again!! Thank you for being such a great teacher ❤❤❤❤
I used to do a winged liner every single day years ago I could do it like nothing. But I went through a period of years where I barely wore makeup at all, let alone eyeliner. The first tip has really helped me get back into it. Thanks Nikki ❤
Hi Nikki, i am so happy i just came across your channel. u r by far the best makeup artist I've ever watched. u r a goddess, u have shown me makeup tips, no other makeup artist has shown . We appreciate u. Thank you very much, love and respect ❤❤
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!! You are Ana amazing instructor- and your voice is so calming. If I watch this before I go to bed, I just really enjoy it so much. I may end up falling asleep, but always go back to watch it again !!!💜💜💜
Wow. Am so grateful ❤ I am a mature woman, and I finally understand why techniques are important. Appreciate you and so glad you were on my feed this morning❤
Thank you so much. This is my first time watching your videos and I am 69. I learned so much thank you I don’t wear much makeup but when I wear it, I want it to look good.
I just loved and appreciated this video and how thorough you were in explaining everything so clearly so that it was easy to understand and follow! I am definitely going to take so much of this advise and apply it to my application techniques....I actually can't wait to do my makeup today!! 😊 ❤
Fantastic info!! ... You have perfect skin so it's not surprising this looks great but could you do the same one for ladies with mature skin? Thank you xx
My foundation have not been interacting well with my skin lately as it gets dry in the colder weather. I've been adding a thicker moisturizer to my skin-prep but that just causes my foundation to float above it. I hope that pressing it in with a brush would help. Just ordered two of your N17s! Love your content as always♥
I can't explain how much I appreciate this video!! im 21 but i dont know much about makeup application but definitely needed to learn and this video has helped tremendously!! i love how detailed and real you are and i can just tell youre a girls girl LOL thanks girl!! love your channel! happily subscribed 💞💞

Thank you Nikki! The way you explain things are so real… you are a very successful woman and so approachable and down to earth! Thank you from a Math teacher who loves to do makeup in the morning to feel good ❤❤❤❤!
Btw l just bought your N17 brush 😊… it is a splurge for me but l think lt will
Help my foundation to look better!
I was a makeup artist back in the day, and I learn so much from your videos. I save them in a separate file on youtube so i can refer back to them on the fly. Thank you so much Nikki for sharing your expertise.
Thank you Nikki! What a Great Pro Tips for Beginners Guide for pro application of makeup. That’s one mistake i was making; not allowing my concealer to dry down a bit before taping into my skin. It made a huge difference. And I thank YOU,! I will be at Church during your live Sun so, once again will watch afterwards. 😊
This is the absolute BEST tutorial of the millions that I’ve seen. I wish you were in NYC- I’d be your best client!!
Thanks for yet another really helpful video 🙏 Interested to know your thoughts on brush priming & stick foundations? I’ve just switched to the Dior stick & see most users apply directly to the face. Thank you!
Yes I was going to ask the same thing! How would one approach stick foundations with the brush priming method?
Thank you so much for your dedication to helping us look better everyday. If you use a stick foundation, do you work the foundation into your brush the same as you did in this video? Thank you!
Hi Nikki love your videos!!! I needed help, for some reason I’ve tried a couple of eyebrow gels (benefit, Anastasia, ELF, refy) they all cause my eyebrow hair to crust and look dusty. Do you have any tips?
You have literally changed my make up life! You did a Nikki uncut where you did how to do Long wearing makeup a few weeks ago and it has literally changed the game for me. Thank you so much for all of your tips!
I appreciate and love these videos! I always learn something and I always, pause, rewind, and listen again! I need these videos. Thanks!❤
Nikki, I am so thankful to your RUclips channel because your expertise is top notch. You explain and demonstrate each step so simply which allow us to implement them on ourselves. The best part is that what you teach us works is ageless because is about technique and doing things correctly. To tell you the truth, I forget that I am 60 years young and I really did not struggle much with makeup because I have always loved playing with makeup. I was that big Sister playing makeup and putting makeup on my little 2 year old Sister! However last year 2023, I did not use makeup at all. I was fighting for my life. Within 6 months, I almost died 3 times battling cancer. I had a lymphoma the size of a small watermelon growing onto my throat, ear, neck, throat, brain. Then I was told I had stage 4 cancer on my face, neck, stomach, spleen, liver, kidneys, one lung and bone marrow. Towards the end of my fight, my body shut down, I experienced complete hearing loss and I was incubated and put into a medical coma. I had emergency surgery while I was still in the coma to safe my life. My body was rejecting the port implant where they were administering the chemo from. It was definitely a terrible ordeal but, I did not do it on my own. Once I became conscious and realized I had no control of anything and had no strength whatsoever, I had God to surrender it all. He carried me through it all. I held on to Him and when it became unbearable, I prayed and praised God and it got better. I was told it would take a while for me to go home because I would need rehabilitation and would have to learn to walk again and get strong. Well, I claimed differently with God! God and I had plans! I went home a week after a woke up from my coma. I walked the day before and I was able to spend my Son's birthday at home with him. They had to discharge me because my exam results stated, I was cancer free!!! Two weeks later, my hearing was also restored to normal!! It's been a year since my ordeal and it hasn't been an easy road towards my recovery. I had complete hair and tooth loss, scars from the surgery, and dark-skin damage from being allergic to medical tape. I have great days and I have blessed days when I have to remind myself of my blessings. I look like I have gone through a battlefield but, I am so grateful for my blessings. I started getting reacquainted with the new me. I am so thankful I have my love of makeup to help me get a little of the old me back. Some people think makeup is no big deal but it really is. You have helped me so much by sharing your skills with us and because of it, you have enriched my life. Don't forget it Nikki, you are making a difference, your passion and sacrifices are making a difference. I look forward to watching your next video and playing makeup! 💯💖🙏🏽💄🦋😘🙌🏽✨🐶🌹🤗✌🏽
I love all of the pro tips! 😍🙏 Thank you ☺️ What stunning lip liner do you have on from the beginning and what do you have on the lips at the end? 😮 It’s sooo beautiful! 😍
The liner tip, Been doing it wrong everyday , and never feeling fully satisfied 😂. Cant Wait to try it
I'm so glad this was helpful!! ❤️
I love the Garnier Micellar-it’s been my fave for years. I’m definitely going to look for those q-tips. Thank you 🥰
Hi Nikki, i just wanna say THANK YOU!!! I like the way you explain everything…. You make everything so easy and uncomplicated ❤
You are a wonderful instructor. Thank you for the tips and breaking everything down so it is easy to understand
Hi Nikki, do you think that when you work your foundation in the way you showed us, that it breaks down sunscreen and makes sunscreen more ineffective or do you think it blends together so you still have the same protection?
I know I sound like a kid but these tips are actually mind blowing 😅 I love this type of video ! High speed, amazing tips! You are sooooo helpful! I wear make up everyday and I feel I have improved my technique and look a lot since watching your videos! Sooo appreciated! And my skin has even improved because of it! Love you girl! ❤
This was such an informative video. Nikki, I’ve watched most of your videos this past year, and have learned so much about makeup. I was a minimal makeup user and still like the no makeup look (now in my 70’s) but your techniques and product recommendations have been spot on. I discarded all my high end, old, probably expired cosmetics for new recommendations, and the difference is astounding. Cosmetics and skin care has improved tremendously over the years. I’m so appreciative that you share your expertise. Invaluable.
This was so helpful, especially the demos! I had no idea how much I needed to get in there and blend and buff my foundation. It made such a big difference when I tried it this morning!
Loved loved this tutorial Nikki! You’re the best teacher and even now in my 50s I learn so much from you. Every time I implement your tips my makeup looks flawless and most importantly, so pretty. By the way I bought your brushes a couple months ago and love them!
I adore you Nikki!! Thank you so much for putting in the time and effort to teach us how to love ourselves through makeup❤ Hope you and your family have a great day!
Doing my makeup as i rewatch this amazing video, trying out all these tips right now!! Thank you for all the helpful tips to achieve a a flawless makeup application!!
I should come back to these every month ❤
One thing I love about you and your style of makeup is that it’s never overwhelming. Even when you wear more makeup, it’s always tastefully done. Some influencers are definitely looking for shock value, and it’s highly annoying.
I found you a couple weeks ago, and i am binge watching your channel like you were on Netflix!! I fell off my horse and broke my knee, so I am learning a million different tips to play with once I can sit at my makeup desk again!! Thank you for being such a great teacher ❤❤❤❤
I used to do a winged liner every single day years ago I could do it like nothing. But I went through a period of years where I barely wore makeup at all, let alone eyeliner. The first tip has really helped me get back into it. Thanks Nikki ❤

So glad I found this channel. Nikki is THE best teacher ❤
My foundation have not been interacting well with my skin lately as it gets dry in the colder weather. I've been adding a thicker moisturizer to my skin-prep but that just causes my foundation to float above it. I hope that pressing it in with a brush would help. Just ordered two of your N17s! Love your content as always♥
Great tips!! Thank you for your generous information. Very helpful!
Nikki what shade is your nail polish?! Love!
Thank you! It’s 21 from LA professional!
