Thanks so much for your work with all the detailed info, much appreciated!

Excellent Stephanie! Yes please show us setting techniques to avoid cakey-ness--I'm very oily

I agree setting powder/spray video. I sponge on spray instead of spraying then powder light

Love videos like this it just reinforces I'm applying my makeup correctly. As I get older I'm always cautious to not want my foundation to make-upie.

Skin prep is almost more important than foundation application. Like a manicure… prep is 75% of the effort when success is the goal. Thanks for this useful reminder tutorial!

I think that is generally true of most things, in fact. I learned it doing a DIY home improvement project, and it really sunk in for me.

Yes please do a finishing amd setting powder video plus a current favorites of them please seems like all my favorites in powders have been discontinued or reformulated to be awful!

@StephanieMarie I watch all your videos. Your way of doing makeup is much in lines with mine.

Please make a powder and setting powder video. Thank you for all the great tips.

I had no idea, TY for the great tips!

Thank you…I needed this

Thank you! Excited for more foundations. 🥰

Because you have taught me for years what to do, I knew all these things, but this was an amazing refresher of techniques I forgot! Thank you!!

Love this fresh, flawless look!

This was really helpful, thanks!

Ah! So thats how to prep a sponge. Great video!

Thank you so much Stephanie, this was so helpful! 🥰

Great tips, especially the the sponge tip.

Very helpful ❤

I just picked up the EL Double Wear...great tips for me to be sure i love how it will look for an upcoming wedding!

Thanks for sharing these great tips. I appreciate you keeping us company !

Thank you- I needed to be reminded about technique because I tend to get complacent.

Helpful video!!! Thank you 🌷

Yes, please, a setting tutorial!

Also I live in a humid state FL and have hot flashes. I appreciate all your knowledge that you share.

Great tips! Thank you!

Thank you for trying out so many foundations!!!

Great tip. ❤❤❤❤

This was a great video which I’ll come back to and watch wherever I want reminders! Thanks for putting it up Stephanie👌 I’ve been going without makeup for a few months but now ready to jump back in again😇😎

Thank you!!!

Thank you for this video! I think you spoke about how you apply in another video and I adopted your method, but this one was more detailed so really helpful! ❤❤

Thank you for sharing and I will definitely try this method.

Excellent point about using less primer, Stephanie! Also the sponge-dampening tip was great. I always find your videos helpful and trustworthy. 😊

Subscribed!! Thank you for a basic tutorial!! Very helpful!

Always love your honest down to earth videos! Haven't used estee lauder in years but I think it's time to try again. I'm 58 and have been using born this way by 2 faced.

This was a very helpful video!! Thank you for sharing.

I tried your tips this morning and worked amazingly. I have the Este Lauder foundation as well and was ready to donate my foundation cuz everything is patchy and heavy. I learned from another makeup artist how to apply it with a brush as well and works perect now. Thank you!

You are SO right! A good shake of the foundation and the barely damp sponge does work the magic. I’m on tretinoin and occasionally have a dry patch here and there but my makeup looks great when I use these 2 tips. Thank you for all your great tips, tricks, and recommendations!

I love watching your videos. I need to try the EL double wear again with your method. I’m in Lafayette so I well know our hot, humid climate. It’s hard to find makeup that will last the day without having to retouch.

Thank you for this Stephanie yes would love to see how you set your face with powder ☺️

Love these tips videos rather than endless reviews of new releases ❤Agree the damp sponge method is usually best for the most natural looking results ❤

This was really helpful Stephanie Marie and yes I’d love a video on different powders and techniques as I find this way more challenging than getting a lovely base of foundation. Also maybe a few tips on concealers too would be great. I’m so happy I found your channel ❤

Very helpful.

What an excellent informative educational video ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thank you 🙏🏻

Thanks so very much for your tips & suggestions as I live here in Florida, will certainly give this a try!

Thanks for sharing this ! I know there are bigger issues in the world but this video was so helpful ! Thanks for all you do 😊

Yes a setting powder video please

Thank you so much for stressing the importance of skin care! I have seen so many people asking why their foundation looks bad but when asked about any skincare regimen they either didn’t have one or didn’t exfoliate. Thank you so much for the tip of squeezing the damp sponge in a towel! I didn’t do that! This is why I love your channel-I always learn new things❤ You looked stunning by the way!

Thanks so much for explaining these tips! It was helpful to remind ourselves about why the sponge is so helpful. Also enjoyed looking over your lists of products for exfoliating the skin. I think I am going to try one that you suggested. These videos are so helpful 🌸🌸.

Really enjoyed this. Nice to see what you do and how you apply everything in your routine.

This is exactly what I was looking for!

Thank you!!

I'm more of a brush application gal. There are times that I will use a sponge to finish, just to make sure I haven't used too much. However, as your foundation is always flawless, I'm leaning towards giving a sponge a few more tries. This was fantastic Stephanie 😊. I love watching "tips and tricks" for any makeup product. I'm so happy that you mentioned skin care. Without good skin care, foundation will never look great. Love you loads 🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍

I didn’t know about toweling off the sponge. That’s a great tip. I can hardly wait to try it. Whenever I see anyone putting foundation, concealer, or other liquid, cream, or stick product directly on the face, I wonder how they keep from getting too much on there. I’ve put it on the back of my hand first or used a brush to pick it up from the container and then dabbed any excess off on the back of my hand for over 50 years, and it’s always worked for me. Actually, I was trained to do it when I was so young that I was almost horrified the first time I saw the direct application method. It certainly surprised me and still does. Those influencers and MUAs have some mad skills to do that and have it look good.

Please do a video on different tinted sunscreens preferably mineral sunscreen. Great video.

Stephanie, you look gorgeous! Love the eye look!!

Thank you for this. I just tried it with the ELF Camo CC Cream which I didn’t care for before. Now that I’ve used your technique, I might actually like it. Using your technique this tube might last five years since you use so little.

Great tips, Stephanie! I'm 46 and glad I'm doing most of those things already. I'm definitely guilty of using too much primer though. I know what you mean about those saying IT CC Cream and others are too thick. I always have a feeling they're using too much. IT, is my fave and I hardly use any upon application. I have the same skin type as you, including rosacea. The most redness on the same side too. Weird, but cool. 😆

thanks for vid pretty lady. be safe

Your makeup and skin look flawless!! How would you tackle something like Melasma on the face? Would love tips on this or hyperpigmentation in general ❤️

Love doublewear and I use advanced night repair and a fluffy brush for skin like finish but I have dry skin so I have to do tons of skincare and sheer it out for no cakeyness but with a sponge is better I have textured skin and melasma

I wish you would do an exclusive episode on exfoliation and your faves rather than just listing them in a foundation talk. You mention this is such and important regular step to optimize foundation. I think it deserves it's own dedicated play. thanks.

Yes, please, on a setting powder and spray vedio 🥰😊

Hi Stephanie - love your site! This has been super helpful and the application WORSK! Have you tried Clarin's foundation and if so what is your shade color? My shade and yours are the same.

Thank you so much. Feel like I am having to relearn how to use makeup now that my skin is changing with age. Would love to know if you have an under eye video. And especially one about sweating (hot flashes).

Hi! Are you referring to my How to Apply ELDW without looking cakey videos that have been out for several years? I didn't quite follow what rose of rose meant. But those videos have helped lots of people! I hope they helped you too! :)

Juice beauty stem cellular peel spray is such a great every day orevery other day product. My skin has been perfection since starting this a few years ago. Such an important step, i agree!!!! I also just use a wedge sponge. Sanitary and no fuss.

Thanks for sharing see you soon ❤

As a fellow Double Wear fan, I would be very interested to know your tips and tricks on setting foundation.

Thanks for the great tips...I hate it when I end up with a heavy looking finish and at my age (over 60) that's the last thing I need. I find dermaplaning helps with a smooth finish too...Nobody looks good with peach fuzz!

With so many people dealing with this relentless heatwave this summer, I would love to see a tutorial on how to do make my make up last. The heat & humidity make it slide right off my t-zone.

What’s a good exfoliater for rosacea prone skin. Thank you.

Hi Stephanie, great tips, thanks for sharing! I live in an extremely hot & humid place. My make up looks good when i leave home, but very soon i start pouring sweat & when i wipe it off with a napkin, the napkin/kerchief looks like all the foundation transferred to it!! I use loreal foundation, tried sweat-proof & 24 hr powder foundation. Nothing seems to last more than an hour of sweating !! Any suggestions on how to prevent the meltdown will be great! Thanks.

Is it OK to use a damp sponge over SPF? will it remove it?

Great video! I love the tips with the sponge; will add that final step with the towel to get that last bit of wetness out. Thanks! I would love to get your insights on managing makeup in humidity. I have normal skin, but when it's humid, makeup feels like it turns to melted butter dripping off my skin! Adding powder just makes the face makeup paste-like. It's awful! Your insights, tips, tricks would be most appreciated! Thanks!!

Perfect timing! I just purchased Haus Lads to help camouflage the red in my menopausal face. Using this type of foundation is new to me, I'm used to tinted sunscreen. Question, what do you think the dry downtime is for Haus Labs ?

@StephanieMarie

Hi! I can't really say specifically because so many variables come into play. My skin type, humidity and skincare may make my dry down time different than yours. Everyone is so individual! :)

I should try the sponge again. I havent used one for years. I prefer my fingers or a brush. Deplaning is another good thing to do to get a smoother foundation look. (Not daily, of course 😊).

Hi! Thanks for all your videos. Question, do you use anything else before the primer and foundation? Serum, moisturizing &/or sunscreen? That also makes a great difference in the way foundation looks.

@vanessamalik1102

Hi Tammy, Sunblock should be applied before primer, so it's closer to your skin. Putting the primer after waiting a few minutes for the sunscreen to absorb/set will give you a better base for makeup.

Thank you so much for this video... It helped me a lot. I love that we share the same foundation shade, which helps a lot and also, the fact you that you live in New Orleans and I live in S Florida, the weather is similar with the nonsense humidity, so I loove your videos because I know that it'll work for me as well.
