O.M.G.!!!!!! I am 76 years young…LOVE MAKEUP…especially FOUNDATIONS. Let me tell you girl….WHAT A GAME CHANGER !!!! I applied my foundation just a few minutes ago using the method you mentioned regarding putting the foundation on the insides of your hand and allowing the brush to be swirled really good and then applying it to the face. W O W!!! WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!!! THANK YOU SWEET GIRL. No wonder your name is Gemma…….YOU ARE A GEM!!!!!

Wayne Goss showed a tip, ONE drop of face oil (I use a rose one from Boots) mixed with a blob of foundation, (I use about a 5p size for entire face) mix it in palm of hand, then apply as usual. Omg, it’s so fantastic and goes on so smooth and slightly sheer and dewy. Not two drops, just one is enough. For mascara, I use the rubber tooth picks, they have grooves and you can get right down to the roots of lashes without getting blobs of mascara all over the lid and ruining your eyshadow. I don’t do the toothbrush lip thing, it’s thinner skin than your face and you wouldn’t rub a toothbrush bristle on your face. I use Vaseline and granulated sugar and slather on my lips thickly , then use a damp facecloth wrapped and folded around my fingers and exfoliate my lips like that.

Gemma, your makeup is truly lovely! Nice shout out to Risa. I do agree about her and her content. I really enjoy her channel. I am super excited to try your brow technique. At 72 years young, I want them filled in but natural looking. Also wanted to let you know that I purchased the tag necklace you always wear and I love it! Thanks for all you bring to your channel and for being so real with us.❤💄

The foundation tip blending in the palm of your hand also works well with powder blusher to give a less patchy result. I learned this tip from Nikki Larose, another pro MUA.

Use a toothbrush made for toddlers, they are really soft and more importantly, they are smaller so much easier to work on the lips and inside of mouth without hitting other areas😁

I wrap a little medical gauze around my fingertip, wet it and then dip the fingertip into a tiny jar of plain granulated sugar that I keep in the bathroom just for exfoliating my dry spots; face, lips, neck...a couple of times a week. Cheap, and the gauze is disposable and biodegradable. No wet toothbrush hanging around in a damp bathroom. Then I use MAC's Prime and Prep lip balm, before every makeup application and at bedtime. It lives in my purse, along with an Almay Age Essentials clear balm stick with SPF 30 that gets reapplied frequently throughout the day, even over lip color. I've had BCCs removed from my upper lip line, not something I care to repeat.

Risa is another favorite of mine.

I use a silicone lip scrubber it is very gentle and feels nice too

Love the Risa tip. Also works well with concealer! Always interesting to hear who you follow as like attracts like!

Yep you inspired this age 70 plus makeup lover to use brow gel first and to put my foundation in palm. I also like the Lisa Eldridge advice to take clean makeup brush as your last step to blend and remove any excess foundation, blush, bronze.

I've been applying my foundation that way since watching Risa's video and it is great!!!!

Love your channel! I keep Wet Ones wipes in my makeup drawer to clean hands after putting foundation on my hand.

I just use a small hand towel that I use for wiping off makeup. I have several of these towels and only use them for wiping off makeup and wiping my brushes. When one gets dirty, I just put it in the wash. I follow my makeup routine with a good hand washing at the end.

I tried the hand blend and it works beautifully. Love the tip.

Thanks Gemma....another great video full of fab tips. Trying these tips tomorrow....excited 😊

I watch Risa and tried this foundation trick and wow! Brilliant ❤❤

I definitely want to try the palm of the hand foundation hack! Also intrigued by the lip prep - however the Fresh Sugar product contains essential oils. Do you know of a great fragrance-free alternative? Great video as always Gemma 😘

Hey Gemma, I’ve been using the hand technique for applying my foundation also since watching Risa’s video and yes 🙌🏻 it makes all the difference, even for my mature skin, like you, the only issue is having to get up and wash your hands before moving forward with the rest of your makeup, especially if you’re wearing white jeans Lol 😂. Great video ❤❤

I have learned so much from this video Gemma, thank you.

Thank you so much!!! I just came across your channel for the first time. I have been trying different foundation applications or tools to achieve natural and not cakey results. Your method is absolutely the best. I don't see any wrinkles or fine lines at all. I am so happy. Yes, it does look like natural skin and flawless.

Gonna try that foundation trick!

Thank You so much!!

What a great, inspiring video! I’ll try all of your tips, thanks!

Love your makeup tips! You are gorgeous. I will try out your ideas. Thank you!

Great tips...especially for the brows! Thank you! ♥♥♥

Your face looks flawless Gemma! Thanks so much for the tips!

Just ordered the lip sugar on your recommendation. I’ve always had to resort to blisteze whenever my lips have dried but trying this balm and doing the prep you suggest may just be the way to go 🙏🙏

Love the lip trick!❤

Be careful applying HA to lips. It dried mine out terribly and took months to recover. Only nipple cream worked for me. I have been exfoliating with vaseline and a very soft toothbrush for 30 years and it’s always worked well. Looking forward to trying the foundation tip. Thanks Gemma. Great video as usual 😊

For around the nose, use a small brush like a concealer brush that isn’t too dense. You can get in those areas without having to stipple. Do a slight buff.

Yup - your brows look fantastic :)

I like the brow pens but I find it really hard to get the control I need on the opposite brow to my dominant hand.

What if you don’t have eyebrows? What would you suggest- I’ve just tried so many things- it’s been so difficult- just wondering how you’d approach it. (Lost them from an illness)

Your makeup looks beautiful today. I also subscribe to Risa's KZread channel and saw when she gave the tip re foundation application.

Your brows do look awesome.

Hi Gemma, you look stunning as always. I have seen the foundation hack too and was thinking about trying it. Now that it's Gemma approved, I will def do 😊 Since I use the lip treatment from manyo I have no issue with dry or flaky lips at all. maybe you can try the torriden. It's almost as good. my lips are very very happy without any hard, dry parts. I have nothing to pick on any more 😅

You've inspired me to try the lip treatment prep. I'm a lip chewer when I feel my lips are dry (not a good idea). I just saw my dental hygienist 2 days ago so I have a perfect new soft toothbrush to use! Thank you for this tip, Gemma. 2-3 times a week, at only a couple of minutes, is totally do-able!

Wayne Goss also uses the palm. See his latest video.

I used the Fresh Lip Treatment for years untl they became really expensive. I now use Ruby Kisses Hydrating Lip Oil. It's not as luxe feeling but it does the job!

I use a little round cellulose mask remover sponge to exfoliate my lips after they are softened in the shower or after face washing.

Have you tried the Delilah foundation. It's cruelty free . Would just like your opinion on this brand xx

Hi Gemma. Can you suggest a really good product that firms under eye bags. Just bought a product on line, saw a video that showed things working in real time. I tried it, nothing happened. Looks like I've been conned. Not happy wasn.t too expensive, but only a small tube. I love your channel and like to see your mum. I've also just got a Nuface mini. So after a lot of work might get to look like your mum. Give her my regards. And keep going with the channel, we all need good honest advice and to see products that really deliver at an affordable price. xx

I've been using the palm for foundation, but not specifically to get a different result, just to save in wasting product (the palm absorbs less). Good that you have seen a different result though 👍🏼

I sometimes use two shades of brown pen because that’s how my bros roll.

Keep baby wipes at your make up table to get rid of the excess make up. They are my savior. I have been watching another KZreadr who does videos on Estée Lauder double wear. She says to use your fingers to apply it instead of a brush because it uses less. Your thoughts? I'm going to try it in my palm tomorrow.

Oh, I adore Risa! Besides her common sense and knowledge, she's one of the very, very few out there who talks about mature, OILY skin! The rest of the world seems to assumes you skin automatically flips over to dry on your 40th birthday! 🙄😂 My lip tip is that I use hyaluronic acid serum on my lips at bedtime. I top it with Vaseline. 👍

I wonder how to reduce enlarged pores on non oily (likely dry) skin especially around the nose. AHA, BHA have been tried as well as tretinon and niacinamide 😢 Maybe it will have to be something in clinic?

I'm lucky. I got nice brows

i'm over 45 and i prefer appying my foundation by rubbing it on like lotion and go over it with a beauty blender it looks very natural to me but it is messy , but i love the look it gives

Speaking of lips, I learned that certain lip liners (same brand and even same line) will treat your lips differently, often per color. I have a NYX lip liner that just doesn't budge and in same brand, same line, I have other colors that don't stay as well. So interesting.

Great tips! But skin of colour people like myself, be careful with the toothbrush method. It can very easily lead to hyperpigmentation (check out Dr Vanita Rattan who can better explain why!) Instead, perhaps opt for gently cleansing lips with a salicylic face wash. This will also get rid of dead skin but much more gentle.

I do not like the foundation hack. I did it that way in my 20’s. I worked at a makeup counter and that’s how we were taught. As I’ve gotten older I find it doesn’t give enough coverage. Also, brows should be a least cousins 😊
