-Long-Lasting & Flawless Foundation Makeup Tutorial ft. Melissa Hernandez - Maybelline.mp4

Hi, everyone. Celebrity makeup artist Melissa Hernandez here. Hi, I'm Kensington. And today, we're going to be showing you how to get a flawless, long-lasting base using Maybelline's new Superstay Active Wear Foundation. So I'm just going to start by pumping two pumps on the back of my hand, and I'm going to warm it up using my finger. I like to do this because when you warm up the foundation, it's really going to melt into the skin. So now I'm going to pick it up on my brush, and I really, really like to saturate my brush. And then I'm just going to go ahead and work in sections in the face. This is a very long-wearing, full-coverage foundation, and it dries down quickly because it has a 30-hour wear. So it's best to work in sections. So I'm going to start at the jawline, really build up that coverage. And then I'm going to move up, and I'm just patting it in, really melting it into the skin. And as you can see, it melts in seamlessly. You just have to be really quick. And another thing I want to point out is that I'm not using a lot of pressure. Even though it looks like I'm using a lot of pressure, I'm really just using the brush to really do the work for me, and I'm just lightly patting all over the face. Because again, this foundation melts in seamlessly. You just have to sort of pat and work fast. To brighten up the center of Kensington's face, I'm going to go in with the Instant Age Rewind Concealer in the shade Sand. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to apply it, look up for me, right where the tear duct is, just a tiny bit, and then a little bit on the outer corner. And what this is going to do is this is sort of going to add a nice lift. Then I'm just going to go ahead and blend it in using a fluffy brush. When applying concealer, I like to avoid right beneath the lower lash line, because that's where we tend to crease the most. And I also like the natural color of Kensington's undertone there. So I'm going to go ahead and leave that there. To set her under eyes, we're going to be using the Lasting Fix Banana Powder. So using a tapered fluffy brush, I'm just going to pick a little bit on the brush, tap off the excess, rub it in. And then I'm going to go ahead and have her look up, and I'm just going to press the powder. The reason why I like to press is so that I don't disturb anything that we've already laid down on the skin. To add a little bit of dimension and warmth to her skin, I'm going in with the City Bronzer in the shade 200. So I'm picking up a little bit of product. I always like to tap off the excess and sort of rub the excess into the cap. And then I'm going to have her turn. And I like to start right in the center of the ear. And I'm going to sort of go straight down this way, towards the edge of the lip. Then as a last step, I'm going to sweep a little bit on the tip of the nose, and I'm actually going to sweep a little bit on the bridge of the nose. And it's going to give us that really beautiful sun-kissed glow. To complete the look, I'm going to add a little bit of blush. And I'm going to be using the Fit Me Blush in the shade Rose. So again, I always like to tap the excess off on the back of the lid, because it's easier to build and it's harder to remove. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to have her smile. And I'm going to apply it right at the top of the cheeks. OK, everyone. That completes today's look on how to achieve a long-lasting, flawless face. By long-lasting, I mean 30 hours.
