FULL COVERAGE Makeup for Melasma & Discoloration

That foundation is INSANE! It covered it like nothin! Very good points you made there about not going too light with your concealer (at least until you've color corrected first) and about not over blending. Those have made a huge difference in my routine. I'm sorry you've had to deal with this Emily, but thanks for making good of it and sharing with us. This is why people love you. We can always count on you to put something good and honest and HELPFUL out there.

I’ve never been pregnant but it’s definitely melasma I have. I’m 40 now...It’s spreading rapidly across my forehead for the last 5 years. Thanks for being open and vulnerable for all of us who have no clue what to do.

It's unbelievable how rude people can be. I think you're beautiful with or without makeup.

I could cry thinking about my melasma. Most of the hyper pigmentation has disappeared from my checks, but my upper lip still has a stain. My friends have told me to wax my upper lip because it gives the appearance of a mustache. It is so embarrassing and I just wanted to take the time to THANK YOU. Your makeup is flawless and beautiful. I can now walk around confident again and not wonder if people are staring at my lip. Hopefully more of this will disappear. Fingers crossed. Thank you.

First of all youre really pretty without makeup. I applaude you for putting yourself out there to help others who may be struggling.

You don't look like you got punched in the eye. People sometimes I tell ya!! I loves this video! So helpful

Thank you Emily! Even four years later your tips & tutorial is just as informative & helpful as the date you created it! I appreciate the sincerity that shines through in each & every video! ❤️

I realize you published this a couple of years ago and may never see this comment, but I still wanted to say thank you for sharing what helps cover your melasma. I bought the foundation and am very pleased. It's so nice to look in the mirror and not see brown patches. Thanks!

I have been dealing with major dark "eyes" from chemo. MAC Pro Longwear concealer has saved the day! It's lightweight, and works like a charm. Big hugs.... You look beautiful, Emily.

It's sad that someone felt the need to make such a cruel comment. Thank you for sharing your skin issue with your viewers. Most of us have something we're trying to cover up. That foundation is amazing! Good one to keep in rotation for bad skin days. Lol. I definitely deal with some brown spots and the occasional hormonal "friend" or two so these tips were very helpful. Thanks for your honesty. You have been looking radiant and beautiful throughout your entire pregnancy! Enjoy that wonderful hubby of yours....go get a sweet treat tonight, and don't let that negative comment get you down!

Just saw this video and wanted to say how kind and generous you have been to share your story and provide methods that may help others. I learned a lot, Thank-you so much!

Thank you so much for putting yourself out there for this tutorial, I really found it helpful as I have melasma almost identical to yours. Mine is caused by the birth control pill. Your positive outlook on the problem is so uplifting!

THANK YOU!!! I have been having such a difficult time trying to cover my melasma and I couldn't find anyone on YT brave enough to show their bare face.  I applaud you for courageously showing us your beautiful face in all it's pregnant glory--melasma included.  I have been missing  your GRWM tutorials. This tutorial is a blessing!

You're beautiful with and without makeup. It's very gracious of you to respond to ignorance with education. Good for you. Thank you for sharing this video.

I am so glad I found this video! I never had one second of morning sickness and maybe two tiny stretch marks.. however, after my second child, I didn't recognize my face in the mirror anymore. It has not gone away, after seven years. I never needed foundation before and I've been searching the wrong words (I know now), I've been watching videos on covering dark circles and acne and redness... None of which helped me. So here I am, a 40 year old makeup-dummy! But tonight I changed my word search and found you! I'm so grateful! I cannot wait until morning to go shopping for that amazing foundation, some concealers and brushes... Thank you! 😭 PS-you are beautiful with or without your makeup! Mine is a complete mask from my jaw line to my forehead, outlining my lips and eyes 😭 ❤️ Keep doing you, girl! 👍🏼😍

As a melasma sufferer, also primarily under the eyes, I totally sympathised with this video and found it so helpful. I've been to countless dermatologists and private clinics for my skin in the UK and the treatment has actively made it worse, let alone the amount of money on products and cosmetics. It's something you can't really treat, it just appears and then you have to learn to live with it. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

People can be ridiculously insensitive!  As a beauty You Tuber I can just imagine how dealing this has made you feel, it is like every single flaw we have is scrutinized and on display for people to just say whatever they think.  I applaud your courage for making this video, thank you so much.  You are an inspiration!!!

You know what? Emily is my favorite beauty guru. She focuses on drugstore AND high end, not one or the other. She explains clearly what she does, and how she does it. Emily gives truthful, honest, sometimes harsh but needed reviews. She interacts with us, and she shows us herself, her true self. She is professional with her videos (even though her auto focusing bugs me when it never focuses sometimes! :P), and she makes sure to do a variety of videos. She doesn't copy the normal videos that others do like the "morning routine" or whatever. Though I have absolutely no similarities with Emily, the products she recommends are always great and amazing to work with, and she never just gives ONE option, she gives many. She is the perfect example of an amazing YouTube beauty guru. She is doing everything right, in my opinion. Great job, Emily, and thank you for these videos.

Thank you for your vulnerability! In my 30s my hormones went out of wack and my skin payed the price for it. Hyperpigmentation and acne have definitely taken a toll on my confidence of going anywhere without makeup. Videos like these are the ones I value the most. Thank you!

I really admire the way you handle people who are not tactful in their approach. In my opinion I think you are very beautiful and kind, so kind to even share your tips with others who may have the same issues. My mom has a discoloration on her face and I was looking for something for her and the EL product is one I would recommend to her, all thanks to you Emily. I really enjoy your videos and thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to share with us! I wish you all the best!
