I would love to see a "no makeup" natural look using only drugstore options! I rewatched your most recent one and theres so many products that are just way out of my budget. I would love to see what affordable options your recommend.
It’s like she read my mind!!! Been looking at all her primer videos, foundation videos just because I’ve been noticing my face more bumpy and crumbly looking when I am done applying my makeup. You are a life saver always!🤍🙏🏼
I started just yesterday powdering my face after my moisturizer has sunk in (I don't use primer) and my makeup looks amazing all day even with this terrible Texas summer heat! I find I have to work a little faster blending my foundation, but it looks amazing after everything is blended in! 🖤
What a great video!!! I have very textured and oily skin and you've helped me so much. I suddenly got adult acne when I was 25, (12 years ago), and it ruined my skin😪 How horrible it is to go out and try to hide my face, to feel ashamed of my face. It's impossible and feels so awful. You've literally helped change my life!!!! I'm so grateful to you. I just lost my dad to murder and I'm losing my mom to cancer. But I'm a mom of the most incredible almost 20 year old girl. I can't afford to break. I have to stay strong. I care for my mother 24 hours a day and I'm tired. You help me get through my days. You help give me something to smile and feel good about. Isn't it strange how you help so many people who you don't even know, in so many different ways including and beyond makeup? You're truly a lovely human and a blessing. God bless you. Xoxo❤❤❤
I'm so sorry to hear you are going through such a hard time Anita! Truly breaks my heart😢but I do think it is incredibly inspiring that you have been able to still find joy other passions and interests! Sending you all my love, stay strong. It's an honour to be lucky enough to have been part of your journey and what has inspired you 🙏🏼🥰
I don’t know where you live, but almost every state in the US has respite care available through their Health and Human Services agencies. Contact your state senator’s office (state, not federal) and ask. Everyone needs a break. (If you don’t know your state senator, just google, “who is my State Senator,” it will ask for your address and viola!
When my face literally looks crusty, especially my nose! I use the catrice pink dewy spray! It's a life saver! I have oily combo skin and it doesn't make you oily and makes it last and look gorgeous af for longer It's pure magic! Also the nyx color correcting LIQUID primer (they have so many colors- can be used for correcting the shade of the foundation too) either mixed in or under! Damn. These two products are a MUST Edit: ALSO If going out, I only the Tizo primer tinted spf under foundation.. It's the best spf - even on foundation free days with some powder looks flawless!
@@jennas5178 you're welcome! I've been searching forever so I just want to shout it from the rooftops that I found something that works lmao Also the tizo spf was recommended after i got a microneedling+rf treatment at a clinic so it's sensitive and acne prone friendly but I always double cleanse so I don't chance acne whatsoever (used to be bad that I'm getting treatment for the scarring now that it's mostly gone)
@@setarehsh3749 you have the best tips I am going to tell my sister s and we are buying it tomorrow. you and nikkia s tips are making this mommy over here very grateful and going to join you yelling off the roof tops ❤❤😊😊😊😄😄😄..
@@jennas5178 also if you're super light, like in very light, fair category, try the "reserve your cabana" by wet n Wild as a finishing powder (no one knows why they labeled it as a bronzer but whatever.. It's too light for me so I use it very very sparingly and mostly under the eyes) it's pretty gorgeous.. Also if you're light, please try the essence baked highlighter... I wish they made a bit of a darker shade because DAYUMMMM. 3$ highlight of a lifetime. If used SUPER sparingly with a super fluffy/light brush as a finishing powder... Glass skin! Million bucks 🤣🤣 seriously. Also the honest beauty bakes highlighter has the same effect, but it's more expensive (btw, my fave foundation is the la girl one. Super hard to find in my area, but goddamn. Looks better than my high end ones)
Love how Nikkia actually takes time to give advice on products and application. I love that she doesn't bombard you with 4839586840321 products on what's good, what's not, good dupes etc. You can tell she wants to properly speak to people about what is good without yammering on. Keeping it to 5 dupes, 5 foundations, 5 tips etc makes it so much engaging and easy to understand and not promoting 3 million Brands. She clearly does her research.
Thank you so much for this comment! It means alot to me that you noticed this and appreciate it! Recommending loads of different products is way too overwhelming in my opinion and doesn't help anyone make an actual decision so I always try to stick to 5 for simplicity! Thank you again for this comment it really means alot! Have a wonderful day! xx
Narelle Robb it sure was the first thought I had. It is the most important stage in our skincare/ makeup routine. Sun damage is the biggest ageing out there as well as protection against skin cancer. Everyone no matter there skin colour should wear sunscreen.
I try to let my sunscreen absorb for at least 15-20 minutes then I take a dry sponge and mist it with a facial mist then lightly tap it all over my face.
Love using your tips & tricks for makeup application. Being someone who struggled with acne, which I have gotten under control now with tretinoin 🙏, but I still struggle with texture here and there and your tips have changed my makeup game in the winter. I used to stray from facial oils and when I did what you said, it truly made a difference because even being oily/combo oil helped my skin from getting dehydrated. Thank you Nikkia ❤️❤️❤️
Can you do favorite skincare from drugstore/target/Walmart like cleansers , toners , essence, vit C , retinol, (serums ) , masks ,eye masks, nd especially moisturizers also maybe another one on hair and body care favorites 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
You're always so pretty when you use soft minimal makeup look. Your beauty really stands out. And when the one side of your hair is on the back you look so gorgeous.
People should be very careful using at home physical exfoliation especially one's with a machine. Not that Nikki is saying otherwise i just wanted to add a gentle reminder to be safe with your skincare ❤
Loved this! Do you have a recommendation for a drugstore or more affordable water cream/moisturizer? Also, what concealers do you recommend for the spot concealing? You mentioned thin but full coverage and I dont know ones like that.
Cerave daytime lotion or nighttime lotion. The difference is SPF. Or Neutrogena's hydro moisturizer. Or LaRochPosey cicaplast balm. All fantastic options.
Mariah Ramirez I saw a tip for this problem on another channel and it has worked for me, I add a few drops of my oil under my eyes before going in with concealer, let it dry down for a few seconds then add your concealer, small amount, then on a sponge or I like to use my Tati Blendiful spray it with a little setting spray and dab it under your eyes, it’s been a total game changer for me, I Hope you understand how I explained it. Best Wishes and Kindness 💖💖💖
MAC has a fix + spray with SPF 30..i usually apply it underneath the foundation, and then during the day I add a layer of spray if needed :) it can look extremely dewy, so I suggest adding powder on top if you are oily
The best water gel moisturizer I've ever used is Neutrogena hydro boost for extra dry skin. It's fragrance free and is the only kind I've tried that gets rid of my dry patches without making me oily. I have combo skin.
I have always followed your foundation routine. You are my fave twin, plus being a nurse, my makeup needs to stay on for 12+ hours. You are amazing, thank you!
I love your videos. I am also oily skinned. I am 58 and have really good skin. Since I don't need a lot of coverage I would love to see a minimal product demo for those of that don't need a lot of correction but are very oily skinned.
I bought 3 products you mentioned on your last skin care routine by Dermalogica and the Lancome serum and I love how my skin has changed. Thank you! I’ve noticed my oilyness has calmed down haha it can be quite a headache. Love your videos ❤️
Yes! Hate silicone based primers. Useless to me. Will definitely try the powder over primer. Just got the banana bright ole henriksen primer that I love so far. Love trying new primer tricks whenever I can.
I use Homedics Radiance Microdermabrasion. It uses fine diamond coated head instead of any other cheaper alternative. For my mega oily acne prone skin I use Bioderma Sebium Mat control lotion. Love from SA 🇦🇺❤️🙌
Hi Nikki.. I love your video! U have the best tips.. please could u lmk where I can get the brush and sponge that u use as well as the translucent/ setting powder? Thanks so much and awaiting ur reply xx
You're so welcome!! I'm trying to get my hands on it but they aren't shipping it to Australia! I reached out to the Too Faced team but they haven't got back to me yet! I also can't find it on eBay or Amazon to ship to Australia yet! I'll keep trying! xxx
Thankyou @nikkia joy for being allways honest in your reviews! And I really love your translucent powder, lashes and your sponge! The best I have ever tried! Can't wait for you to come out with more products 😍😁👌🏻
i finally purchased a pmd! So excited!! It was quite hard to get it in Belgium 😅. Got a question though because they say not to use any active or peeling skin care products 48h before or after using it. I’m addicted to my aha/bha cream/lotion 😅 so I’d like to know if you know if you’ve used any products the day before or after you’ve used it.
Any recommendations in how to stop caking around the nose? I’ve always had quite big pores/texture around the crease of nostrils and whenever I add foundation or concealer there it always looks cakey and kinda dry. If I add a pore filling primer there it looks the same. I exfoliate that area quite frequently but foundation still just doesn’t sit right ☹️ your videos are always so helpful! 💖
Great video. I use most of these tips now from watching your past videos. I have not tried putting powder down to set the primer though. I use it after foundation. I'm going to try that.
Watched this then jumped online and bought the PMD! Just love how honest and relatable you are. You have literally saved my terrible makeup skills with your velvet powder too!! Thank you so much for all you do!!
You should try the trophy skin microdermabrasion machine. It’s fantastic. It’s a pro device for home. Works amazing. I have the PMD but prefer the trophy skin as it’s an upgrade.
What SPF would you recommend to use under foundation? I feel with spf 50 on its harder to achieve flawless foundation that stays on. Il be giving these tips a try 👍🏻 x
Neutragena face sensitive skin 50spf it’s like a watery consistency no white cast perfect for under makeup I wear it every day ! And it’s affordable :)
Jadie Kinneir hi I’m normally more interested in skincare than makeup but I sometimes watch makeup videos here and there, but I REALLY recommend trying Korean sunscreens such as the Purito Centella unscented spf 50 and the Dear, Klairs soft UV airy essence spf 50 I really recommend these sunscreens as they are so lightweight (perfect for under makeup) and don’t leave a white cast. Hope this helped :) have a lovely day 💗
This was my problem I have to use sunscreen because I dont want my skin to get damaged or age / wrinkles etc from the sun but need to know the steps she does love her tips but with sunscreen added to it lol ❤😊
You should try the Australian Gold face sunscreen. It’s tinted and goes in really smooth. It doesn’t make my make-up separate. I don’t use the mineral one under my makeup.
Brenda Saunier but chemical sunscreen can be irritating and they are known to have harmful ingredients to the coral reefs that’s why I think it’s much safer for the environment and your face to use a mineral sunscreen
Great tips, thank you! I’m 52 with oily skin and large open pores. I have yet to find a primer or foundation that doesn’t emphasize them. Do you suggest a particular moisturizer of the ones you mentioned for my age/skin? Also, does the Dermatological oil mix well with Estée Lauder Double Wear?
Leslie, have you tried tarts porefilling primer? I’m 40 and have huge pores as well and that Primera seems to help fill mine in when I’m doing full coverage face. I hope this helped
Leslie Schock I mix Marula oil into my Estée Lauder double wear and it goes on like a dream, I would imagine any oil would do the same. I’m 60 years young. 💓💓
MrsH I tried it recently but it didn’t help the appearance at all. Instead of saying I can’t find one that doesn’t emphasize my pores , I meant one that blurs them enough. I’ve been alternating between Hourglass Mineral Veil, Smashbox pore minimizing and the Covergirl Trublend pore minimizing primer. The CG blurs the best but it doesn’t control my oil as well as Hourglass.
Sometimes if your makeup separates it could be because of sweating (during hot weather) I was finding where I was sweating on my face my makeup separated even if I put on primer and powder and setting spray xx
You look amazing ! Priming is my least favorite but it really helps if you want the foundation to last throughout the day. 😭😭😂 lOL do u recommend mixing concealers? Ty for the video 💙💫
How would you recommend applying a stick/cream foundation? Not sure if powdering first or adding an oil would still work. Also would like to know which of your top cream/stick foundations, blushes, concealers, brow products are.
Sometime i wonder what would have happened if you were not there for us...OMG can't imagine...Love your techniques, tips, suggestions...it never failed...love love love you.. ❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love your powder Nikkia, I’m in the uk and ordered a couple of months ago along with some sponges, lashes and your highlighter palette, I’m obsessed 💜 gonna try some of these tips next time I don my makeup! 💖💖
1: exfoliation 2: using a gel or water based moisturizer 3: powdering ur primer 4: mixing an oil or light weight moisturizer in foundation 5: less is more
There are sunscreens in oil form. (Not the tanning body kind. They’re specifically for the face for everyday use) I know coverFX makes one. It’s too low for an Aussie gal, but I bet you could find one with a higher spf. Then you could use it as the oil in this routine.
Any suggestions of drugstore moisturizer products? Can't afford high end. Also, no one mentioned of sunscreen? So at what phase do you apply it? Before the primer?
I like the trick with the powder under the foundation but I have a question. The idea of primers is that the foundation will also grab on to them, right? If we put powder over the primer, what will the foundation grab on to in order to stick better?
Not necessarily🥰a liquid foundation will also grab onto a powdered surface (think of how weightlifters use chalk on their hands) and the primer is there for smoothing the skin/creating a barrier also xx
Which one you think is better Tacha dewy skin, water cream or silk cream? I have watched your previous videos where you gave good reviews on tatcha silk cream original. Please can you tell which one you think works best for oily skin types?
I love the water cream for underneath makeup and the original silk cream for non makeup days or night time! The dewy one is too heavy for me personally (brandon is combo skin and he loves it!) 🥰🥰
@@nikkiajoy Love watching your genuine and honest makeup reviews and tips and tricks to apply make up. Thank you so much for answering my query.. lots of love ❤️ Keep making videos. We love your recommendations.
Thank you for the video!! I have been using the PMD since your skin care routine and truly noticed a difference! I am currently tossing up the idea of switching my exfoliator from the dermalogica powder to the tatcha you recently reviewed. Any tips?
I’m so glad you have seen amazing results too! The Tatcha product I’ve been talking about recently is a cleanser not an exfoliator🙏🏼I use it in addition to my daily microfoliant❤️
I am now a new subscriber thank you so much for being so informative you’ve helped me so much with my foundation hacks please make more videos and keep up the good work
Nikkia, I'm 56 and my face has that dull, older look but is still oily. Recommendations on a drugstore priced item to add some glow back to the skin? Very textured cheeks with pitted scarring so nothing glittery. Oily so can't cause more oily. Am I just oit of luck?
I would love to see a "no makeup" natural look using only drugstore options! I rewatched your most recent one and theres so many products that are just way out of my budget. I would love to see what affordable options your recommend.

What about sunscreen?? I feel this is always the enemy of beautiful flawless foundation but a must in Aussie for us girls!
Narelle Robb it sure was the first thought I had. It is the most important stage in our skincare/ makeup routine. Sun damage is the biggest ageing out there as well as protection against skin cancer. Everyone no matter there skin colour should wear sunscreen.
Yesss! This is what I came to say. I hate it when they don’t have sunscreen in their routines!
I try to let my sunscreen absorb for at least 15-20 minutes then I take a dry sponge and mist it with a facial mist then lightly tap it all over my face.
Vicky Kastelic that doesn’t have enough spf in it, you need to use a separate sunscreen to get the spf rating
I use a lightweight chemical spf, like the 30 spf from paulas choice, the light blue version. It’s not pilling!
My favorite water based moisturizer is Neutragena Hyrdo boost gel moisturizer body balm
Mine too.
Thank you so much for sharing!!🙏🏼🥰
Oh might try that!
Do you use the body balm on your face?
Mine to

You should try the Australian Gold face sunscreen. It’s tinted and goes in really smooth. It doesn’t make my make-up separate. I don’t use the mineral one under my makeup.
Brenda Saunier but chemical sunscreen can be irritating and they are known to have harmful ingredients to the coral reefs that’s why I think it’s much safer for the environment and your face to use a mineral sunscreen
I would absolutely love to see you bring out your own foundation! 😍
Great tips, thank you! I’m 52 with oily skin and large open pores. I have yet to find a primer or foundation that doesn’t emphasize them. Do you suggest a particular moisturizer of the ones you mentioned for my age/skin? Also, does the Dermatological oil mix well with Estée Lauder Double Wear?
Leslie, have you tried tarts porefilling primer? I’m 40 and have huge pores as well and that Primera seems to help fill mine in when I’m doing full coverage face. I hope this helped
Leslie Schock I mix Marula oil into my Estée Lauder double wear and it goes on like a dream, I would imagine any oil would do the same. I’m 60 years young. 💓💓
Have you tried Benefit Pore professional , I'm 51 with oily textured skin, that's the one I get best results with.
-Nellie -m Thanks for the info!
MrsH I tried it recently but it didn’t help the appearance at all. Instead of saying I can’t find one that doesn’t emphasize my pores , I meant one that blurs them enough. I’ve been alternating between Hourglass Mineral Veil, Smashbox pore minimizing and the Covergirl Trublend pore minimizing primer. The CG blurs the best but it doesn’t control my oil as well as Hourglass.
Very helpful and interesting tips, especially the one about applying translucent powder after a primer, 👌👍.
Sometimes if your makeup separates it could be because of sweating (during hot weather)
I was finding where I was sweating on my face my makeup separated even if I put on primer and powder and setting spray xx
All in technique and products, girl.
I tried these tips today and my base looked flawless!
You look amazing ! Priming is my least favorite but it really helps if you want the foundation to last throughout the day. 😭😭😂 lOL do u recommend mixing concealers? Ty for the video 💙💫
Spot conceal UNDER foundation works great...or even a full coverage foundation to spot conceal UNDER a more sheer foundation.
How would you recommend applying a stick/cream foundation? Not sure if powdering first or adding an oil would still work. Also would like to know which of your top cream/stick foundations, blushes, concealers, brow products are.
🙏🏼 waiting on this new series- Foundations you can mix for a flawless finish

Sometime i wonder what would have happened if you were not there for us...OMG can't imagine...Love your techniques, tips, suggestions...it never failed...love love love you.. ❤️❤️❤️
Do you share what all treatments and cosmetic procedures you have done?
Great video, and amazing tips, but I agree with al lot of the comments, can you please recommend price friendly water gels moisturizers and oils😩
I absolutely love your powder Nikkia, I’m in the uk and ordered a couple of months ago along with some sponges, lashes and your highlighter palette, I’m obsessed 💜 gonna try some of these tips next time I don my makeup! 💖💖
I've been dying to try her powder for ages! Did customs cost you a fortune?
N N no!! Didn’t pay any customs!! And I spent around £100!! Will definitely be buying again 💜
@@gemmamaghoo3800 thank you so much!! Definitely going to purchase it now :D
One word ... gold! 👌 Thanks, Nikkia!!
1: exfoliation
2: using a gel or water based moisturizer
3: powdering ur primer
4: mixing an oil or light weight moisturizer in foundation
5: less is more
I have the pmd tool. I love it. Use it as my physical exfoliating for the week.
What’s an oil you can use that you might have at home to mix with your foundation? Or a cheap option?
Definitely one of my favorite youtubers --luvvvv
Aww thank you so much Brianna!! So glad you love my videos 🙏🏼🥰
What lashes are you wearing? They look so natural! 🥰🥰🥰
Would you recommend this microdermabrasion tool for mature skin?
What is the gorgeous blush you are wearing?
There are sunscreens in oil form. (Not the tanning body kind. They’re specifically for the face for everyday use) I know coverFX makes one. It’s too low for an Aussie gal, but I bet you could find one with a higher spf. Then you could use it as the oil in this routine.
What primer would u recommend?
Translucent powder after primer has worked for me recently!
Any suggestions of drugstore moisturizer products? Can't afford high end. Also, no one mentioned of sunscreen? So at what phase do you apply it? Before the primer?
Just in time. Definitely gonna follow these steps and see the difference 👍
Queen 😍, your makeup looks amazing and so fresh ♥️✨ always been loving your tips and trust everything you say 😍😍, love yaa !
Do you reccomend a water base moisturizer that is a little more in a budget friendly pocket?
I like the trick with the powder under the foundation but I have a question. The idea of primers is that the foundation will also grab on to them, right? If we put powder over the primer, what will the foundation grab on to in order to stick better?
Not necessarily🥰a liquid foundation will also grab onto a powdered surface (think of how weightlifters use chalk on their hands) and the primer is there for smoothing the skin/creating a barrier also xx
@@nikkiajoy That makes sense. Thanks for replying :-)
You always have the best tips for perfect skin - thank you!! ♥️
Which one you think is better Tacha dewy skin, water cream or silk cream? I have watched your previous videos where you gave good reviews on tatcha silk cream original. Please can you tell which one you think works best for oily skin types?
I love the water cream for underneath makeup and the original silk cream for non makeup days or night time! The dewy one is too heavy for me personally (brandon is combo skin and he loves it!) 🥰🥰
@@nikkiajoy Love watching your genuine and honest makeup reviews and tips and tricks to apply make up. Thank you so much for answering my query.. lots of love ❤️ Keep making videos. We love your recommendations.
Great tips! Super helpful:)
Thanks, chickadee🍃🌸
Thank you so much for all your oily skin tips 😘😘😘
Hi girl .. How would I work my sunblock into your great tips and steps ???? Please let me know Thank you ❤😊
Thank you for the video!! I have been using the PMD since your skin care routine and truly noticed a difference! I am currently tossing up the idea of switching my exfoliator from the dermalogica powder to the tatcha you recently reviewed. Any tips?
I’m so glad you have seen amazing results too! The Tatcha product I’ve been talking about recently is a cleanser not an exfoliator🙏🏼I use it in addition to my daily microfoliant❤️
Thank you for the advise! I will definitely check it out!!
Love my pmd, has made the absolute biggest change in my skin.
Brianca Kelley we are truly so happy to hear this! How long have you been using it??
I have been using it for about 7-8 months now.
Such an incredible product isn't it!!🙌🏻
Nikkia, there's a PMD on sale at Nordstrom right now for 99$, but no suction...is it worth it??
I'm totally going to get a PMD for my bday this yr! 🤞🏽
It's honestly so good!! Miracle little device! xx
I was not able to use the promo code
Love your videos so much lovely! I have acne scars so ive always found it hard to cover my imperfections 😭
Thanks for these tips. Really needed it
So what primer do you recommend? I know you said you prefer a primer without silicone but did I miss the brand? Thanks! 💜
I believe most the time she use the hourglass primer
@@tonyabishop31 Thanks! ❤
Thank you for these tips
I am now a new subscriber thank you so much for being so informative you’ve helped me so much with my foundation hacks please make more videos and keep up the good work
Nikkia, I'm 56 and my face has that dull, older look but is still oily. Recommendations on a drugstore priced item to add some glow back to the skin? Very textured cheeks with pitted scarring so nothing glittery. Oily so can't cause more oily. Am I just oit of luck?
Nikkia, I need your opinion!
PMD - is it worth the extra $ to get the pro model? Only difference I see is an extra speed setting.
Tia
Ok, never mind lol
I got the pro 😂
Can’t wait to get it!!!!
Thank you for the awesome tips! What primers are your go to? I also have oily skin and due for a new primer.. what do you reach for? Xox
I’ve been needing this for ever 😊 thank you so much Nikia ❤️
Hope you are having a great Friday 😀
Can you use any oil for the foundation?? Any recommendations for an affordable drugstore face oil for foundation??
Jesse Felter you can use an oil with foundations that isn't water based, as it will make your foundation to separate as oil and water doesn't mix.
@@swedishlina ooh ok will do!! Thx!
