In a YouTube video posted March 27, 2026, makeup artist Nikki La Rose (@makeupbynikkilarose) shares her "primed pretty" makeup routine for a long day and evening event in Austin, Texas.
What foundations did Nikki La Rose mix?
Nikki started her base by mixing two foundations. "I love the nyx make them wonder," she said, noting "the reason I want to mix these also is actually to color adjust them. This one has a more warm golden base, but it's also lighter than this next foundation." The second foundation was the Lawless Forget The Filler Skin-Plumping Line-Smoothing Foundation in 2.75 F. "I love this color match," she explained, "but sometimes it can look a little slightly off." She dipped into both and started application in the center of her face.
What blush and concealer did she use for a glowy look?
For blush, Nikki went in "with a ton of charlotte tilbury beauty light wand in pink chasm." She clarified, "I say a ton because i'm gonna put concealer slightly over and around this area, but I want to just have like such beautiful glowy happy pink cheeks for the rest of my day."> She also applied a little on her nose.
For concealer, she reached for the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Blur Concealer in Shape 4. "I'm feeling like I need a lot of coverage and brightening," she said, applying it under her eyes and letting it dry down.
What powders did Nikki La Rose use to set her makeup?
Nikki used two powders to finish her base. First, she applied the Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder in Soft Pink. She then used the Dior Forever Nude Matte Filter pressed powder in the shade 02 Light. She described the combined effect: "This is just an airbrushed finishing powder. It blurs it perfects. It's magic honestly great for like on camera days."
What lipstick and setting spray completed the look?
For lips, Nikki chose a MAC Powder Kiss Hazy Matte Lipstick in the shade "Be My Bridesmaid." She noted it "also looks really pretty with the blush, so gives it more like a monochromatic look.">
To ensure longevity, she used the MAC Fix+ Stay Over Alcohol-Free 24HR Setting Spray. "This makeup has to last a really long time," she said, "so more is more the setting spray.">
