Just read this tip on another thread but it deserves it's very own threadGrin

Google Wayne Goss make up artist, he's my new crush and tells you to moisturise, prime, powder THEN foundation!Shock

Just tried it and it works a treat , didn't even need concealer! Makes perfect sense as it fills pores and I'd a key for the foundation!

You can use mineral foundation too and then liquid foundation.

He also does a video about a tip for eye liner that's worth watching.

I've just been flicking through his videos "ooh that looks good, oh let's watch this one" Grin
The cats eye tip is great, I have a bent eyeliner brush and can just lie it on the lash line now

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 05/06/2014 19:31

He's so funny,I loved it when he said 'I know people want the natural look but you've spent loads you bloody want to look like you're wearing it!'Grin

Too right Grin
I'm a makeup junkie though

Chopsypie · 05/06/2014 19:42

Ooh I think that was me preens
My friend does it, she always looks amazing, like she has been air brushed. I can never do it right, I think I need more practise

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 05/06/2014 19:56

I'm stunned it works, but it just does. I've just been for a walk and it still looks perfect and not at all shiny.

What's the eye liner trick? The one I saw he put liner onto an eye lash curler then as you squeezed it was left on the lid-geniusGrin

Isn't it sticky?!

BikeRunSki · 05/06/2014 19:59

I v rarely wear make up but my GM told me about powder first about 30 years ago!

goodasitgets · 05/06/2014 19:59

Flicked liner

CecyHall · 05/06/2014 20:00

I watched the video earlier this week but can't quite bring myself to do it as powder feels so suffocating to my skin without foundation.

It is intriguing though (although I thought that about the conditioner before shampoo thing and that did not work for me at all)

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 05/06/2014 20:05

Your GM was years ahead of herself!Smile

Not sticky at all, it just glides on. Looks tons better than doing it the traditional way.

TheresLotsOfFarmyardAnimals · 05/06/2014 20:29

I actually so powder, liquid, powder, liquid, powder for a night out. Like lasagna.

GingerRodgers · 05/06/2014 21:04

DameD, I need the link to that vid please!!
Also, what's the thread you saw this on?!
Thank you!

HeyBungalowBill · 05/06/2014 21:09

Why does it matter if the powder is compressed or not anyone? Smile

I only have compressed and really want to try this tomorrow!!

ThisBitchIsResting · 05/06/2014 21:10

Grin at lasagna!

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 05/06/2014 21:17

I used pressed powder with big Kabuki brush, it was fine!

Will try lasagne face tomorrowGrin

I can't do links-I'm on my phone and it doesn't give me the option. Just google Wayne Goss and loads of you tube clips come up.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 05/06/2014 21:17

The thread is called 'foundation.'

OP posts:
DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 05/06/2014 21:19

Sorry it's called 'foundation help please'

OP posts:
HeyBungalowBill · 05/06/2014 21:24

Not sure how good my brushes are but we will see Smile

Whereisegg · 05/06/2014 21:32

Well this is intriguing, I'm going to try this tomorrow!

Nells77 · 05/06/2014 21:35

Can anyone recommend a cheap loose powder? I've only got a bare minerals pressed one and he says loose! Im so desperate to try it Grin

GingerRodgers · 05/06/2014 21:40

Thank you!! Think I found it.
Off to look at powder foundations. Think lily lolo does reasonably priced ones?
Love his tip of matching colour to chest- I'd never thought of that!

Also, anyone seen his tip about red dye in the tan?!

Ilovemydogandmydoglovesme · 05/06/2014 21:46

Quite interesting. Didn't need to describe his obsession with makeup as 'special needs' though. Hmm

MyrtleDove · 05/06/2014 22:41

Nells Boots Natural Collection or Collection 2000 for loose powder.

I like the Body Shop's mineral powder foundation.
