@ichhata great question! Violets and iridescent colors are so in right now and the shade Lunar really compliments pinks so if you are wearing a pink lip color or pink blush, apply it over to harmonize the look. To answer your other questions, you can glow without using excessive highlighter by having a good skin care regimen. Lastly, I suggest you color correct before foundation.

Thankyou so much Pratick Ta🙂

How can I stop my foundation from breaking up & creasing in my smile lines? 😞

[NativityC]

Hi Patrick! Foundation settles into my pores sometimes, what should I do to prevent that from happening?

[Samgria]

Hey Patrick! I have very textured skin how can i get that pore-less smooth look ?

[madelinexox]

Hi Patrick! This is not necessarily a coverfx question but I love your work and I follow you religiously on IG lol. I've seen that you've done a few "masterclasses" for revolve in LA, have you ever thought about doing some more classes in other cities? (hint: Toronto for example?)

[PatrickTa]

@madelinexox thanks babe! Stay tuned. 🙂

Hi, I'm really wanting a little more glow to my full coverage foundation. I was wondering if the Cover FX drops can do the trick? if so which will go good with light to fair skin tone?

[PatrickTa]

Hi! @crissy86 Mixing the Custom Enhancer Drops into your foundation will definitely give your complexion more glow. If you have more of a pink undertone, use shade Blossom. If you have more of a yellow undertone, mix in Moonlight. 

[Samgria]

You should try celestial or moon light if youre very fair i seen beauty influencer like jaclyn hill and jeffree star use them and they are both very pale

Hi Patrick!  I've found that my face starts to look dull later in the day.  The makeup hasn't come off, but there's a radiance in my complexion after I first do my makeup that disappears by early afternoon.  How would you recommend "extending my radiance"?

[msdianam]

What is your must have Cover FX product? Like the product you would recommend to everyone!

[PatrickTa]

@msdianam the Rose Gold Custom Enhancer Drops. They are the perfect color if you want that golden glow with a baby doll effect since it has a bit of pink iridescence to it.

love them all xoxo

Hi Patrick, you’re an amazing make up artist!! I have a question, I get very oily during the day. I bake my face every morning and I powder my face during the day. Sometimes t makes my make up look cakey, any tips? Love you!!

[Iadorehim210]

How do you always get the best flawless finish with zero blending lines between blush bronzer etc and how do you feel about cream eyeshadow?

[99Adriana]

Hey Patrick. What Cover FX products do you recommend to someone with texturized oily skin?

[PatrickTa]

@99Adriana I suggest you try the Mattifying Setting Spray before you apply your primer and foundation and then use it to set your makeup.

Hi Patrick!

what are all the best uses for the Custom Enhancer Drops? I just bought the vault set and I'm wondering what innovative ways I can use them in addition to mixing with foundation and using them as a highlighter? 

Thanks!!

@Lilanoelle I like to place the product on fresh skin prior to foundation in the areas where i want the face to have an extra lit from within glow. Highest points of the cheekbones, down the bridge of the nose, and peak of the forehead. Then I will place a light foundation over it so you can still see the luminosity the drops give. If you have a matte foundation but still want to look dewy, mix the Custom Enhancer Drops into your foundation.
