    My biggest makeup struggle is I always end up with black under my eyes after about 2 hours. Even if I'm not wearing eyeliner, and I'm wearing waterproof mascara. My face just does not like to keep makeup on itself.

    I used to struggle so much with eyeliner transferring onto the hood of my eye (#HoodedEyeProblems) and no matter liner I used and no matter what I did, priming, setting the primer, setting the liner, it would ALWAYS transfer. I had completely given up on liner until last month when I decided to try out the Stila Stay All Day Liquid Liner and it's literally the only liner I've ever used that doesn't transfer to the hood of my eye and it lasts all day long (as the name implies). So to all my hooded eyed friends out there, try out the Stila liner. You can thank me later.

    Lately, my biggest makeup struggle has been my dry, flaky patches AND oily skin. They both just happen all over my face and sometimes in the same area, so I'll be greasy, cakey, and flaky all in one spot. No foundation, powder, primer, ANYTHING seems to be helping that lately - hence, I've been going without any of that all together :)

      your skin is definitely dehydrated. You need to look further into your skincare routine, especially face cleanser. Other factors might be internal. Have you checked your hormones level lately?. It's worth looking.

My biggest problem is not wee pines/watering at the inner corner, but at the outer corner, and always the left eye, sometimes both. Not a single liner I have tried has been able to withstand the tears, and it's INCREDIBLY frustrating to have a big black blob above my eye and no wing on one side by the time I get to work. Grrrrrrr!!! I'm going to try your tips on priming & setting again, and see if they help...love you. That lippie suits you so well, btw.

    yesssss this was so helpful! I'm an eyeliner girl and I always prime my eyelids and around, don't put eyeliner in the inner thirds, set my eyeliner, and just recently started powdering around the eye area. BUT, I still have a few struggles. I could NEVER find a good eyeliner for the waterline. tried a few gel eyeliners, urban decay's, rimmel scandaleyes, maybeline masterdrama, etc, and I've just accepted that black on the waterline doesn't work for me, which is such a shame because smokey lower lashlines can be so sultry! as another tip/problem, I sometimes notice little bits of eyeliner flaking off and then leaving smears on my face due to oiliness throughout the day, which can be pretty embarrassing. this is usually a hint that the eyeliner is drying out!

    My biggest makeup struggle (aside from the ones you mentioned here...weepy eyes/tearduct mess...holla!) is with my eyeshadow. I have hooded lids and, typically, by lunchtime my eyeshadow is just a mottled, splotchy, all-blended-into-one-shade mess. I've tried so many different primers (including the one you used in this video) but haven't tried setting the primer. That may be the missing step I've been looking for, but I was wondering if you had any primer recommendations specifically for hooded lids since that does bring an added degree of difficulty to the whole smudge prevention thing. Thanks!!

    • @rachd4794
      @rachd4794 8 лет назад +1

      Not sure where you live and if you can get it, but I've heard that the Wet n Wild Fergie one is good for hooded and/or oily lids. A lot of people think it's better than the Nars Pro Prime which is a popular one. And it's super affordable too!

    • @ricecakesforlife
      @ricecakesforlife 8 лет назад +4

      I have oily hooded lids like you and I think there's not much we can do about our oils rubbing together when we blink! But I do think the Nars pro prime is great and I also think applying the shadow in really thin layers helps. No packing on a ton of eyeshadow!

    • @SillyWomanDiaryBlogspot
      @SillyWomanDiaryBlogspot 8 лет назад

      I liked the NYX primer. My lid color didn't hold up quite as well as the crease, outer V and transition colors, but it is definitely and improvement. I couldn't get the new Makeup Geek matte shadows to last more than a couple of hours before, but with this primer (and the flesh tone eyeshadow on top) they have lasted all day! Thanks for the suggestion!

    Makeup struggle: creasing concealer (sigh)
    powdering too much highlights fine lines and gives a "cakey" look...

      I was coming to say exactly the same!! Creasing concealer plus for me also my chin and nose eat foundation...even primed. If i powder I find it goes cakey.
      Great video - I always absolutely love what you have to say!!!

      @maha.b1 8 лет назад

      Karima McKimmie I've tried Mac pro long, maybelline age rewind (so far my fav) and benefit bo-ing but if you have suggestions would def give it a try
      (btw always priming my under-eye area using the mac prep-prime)

    Awesome video! Thx for the helpful info. Will try the makeup geek gel liner! My number one makeup struggle is sometimes my blending. I try so hard but sometimes it looks muddy :( or I think I've blended high enough and then I open my eyes and you barely see any eyeshadow on my crease or higher lol

    That's a great video! I strugle with under eye concealers... Either they crease or they look cakey and I can't, no matter what (correctors, heavy duty concealer), cover those under eye circles that aren't only in the inner corners... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

      +Gina R snap! I've tried everything but those genetic circles won't be covered. I've tried a million techniques and products but its always pure caking and barely any coverage. WHYYY

    • @ginar3442
      @ginar3442 8 лет назад +1

      At least I'm not alone! I've watched so many videos and bought some products... I feel helpless... I guess I'll have to live with it.

      Same here, mine are genetic I literally have panda eyes. I've tried a lot of concealers but none has left me 100% satisfied. The best I've came across is the prolongwear from MAC.

      @theresaat6052 8 лет назад

      +Gina R I feel youuuuu! I've tried about every concealer/corrector out there and still nothing but I have to say the closest I ever got was the bobbi brown corrector and the mac prolongwear concealer on top. wishing you luck!!

    This was actually very helpful since you did not only mention the steps but also showed them to us! Yay for live demo :)
    I'm guilty in the 'emollient sunscreen' and 'not powdering' section... at least, I will try to prime everywhere around my eyes. Maybe this will help a bit (P.S. my mascara smudges and/or flakes under the outer third of my eyes. Really strange since I only apply it to the upper lashes. Anyone knows this problem?)

    Great video, great idea for a series too xx I struggle with disappearing foundation on my nose and chin areas, doesn't matter how much I prime and set with powder, SO annoying.

    • @ivanaerenda2205
      @ivanaerenda2205 8 лет назад +1

      The only thing that helps me with that 'Rudolph' strugle is setting liquid foundation with powder foundation using flat makeup sponges (dab first, spread later). However, it only works if you set the whole central portion of face.

    Its important to note that setting under the eye with any powder is not recommended if you are getting age related creasing as it amplifies the wrinkles.

  • @rachelbrooks9620
    @rachelbrooks9620 8 лет назад +1

    Great tips Karima. My struggles are dark under eyes and finding a concealer pigmented enough to attempt to cover them but without major creasing and my lipstick not lasting...I've tried the whole filling lips in first with liner, blotting, translucent powder then reapplying but within minutes it's all off again! So annoying!

  • @kelsi911

    This was a great video! Please do more like this zoning in on particular make up struggles!
    Also, do you have any suggestions for a good pencil for tightlining? i have watery eyes and when i tight line it literally lasts 10 minutes! I just bought the makeup forever waterproof online but it hasnt come yet, ever used that one? xx

    • @kelsi911
      @kelsi911 8 лет назад

      P.S my number one makeup struggle is the fine, crepey skin under the inner corners or my 23 year old eyes... I can only use fingers for concealer and cannot under any circumstances set it with powder, that just makes it look horrendous! but because im not setting I loose the much needed coverage on those pesky dark circles by early afternoon... waaaaaah!

    I'm horrible at using eyeliner, because I just can't get the line right. Maybe it's the shape of my eye, I don't know. Eyeliner, specifically cat eye just doesn't suit me. But my biggest struggle is actually with mascara. I can't use waterproof mascara, so I have to do with a regular one. The thing is no matter what mascara I use, every time I use it on my lower lashes and then go outside (which I do, because I don't wear makeup at home :D), my eyes just get very watery (is that a word?) and my mascara smudges every time in the outer corners of my eyes. If I go outside and don't have mascara on, my eyes act normal, but with mascara on... horrible. I really enjoy your videos, Karima!
