The products that Keke uses in the tutorial range from skincare items to color correctors and powder. In the video, Keke uses a Caudalie beauty elixir, Aquaphor, and the MAC Studio Fix conceal and correct palette.

She also uses a NARS radiant creamy concealer, MAC’s pro long wear foundation, and MAC’s Studio Fix foundation stick. Keke finishes off her tutorial with three concealers from MAC, Lancome, and Ben Nye.

The Makeup Process

Anyone with acne knows that applying makeup is no easy feat, but it can be with practice. Keke’s ten product tutorial may sound extensive, but it is easy to follow, and she encourages fans to customize her steps.

Her tutorial starts with her spraying the beauty elixir on a clean face and then moisturizing with Aquaphor. Keke also uses the Aquaphor on her eyelids as a light barrier layer to hydrate the skin.

Next, Keke applies the orange concealer from her MAC palette to correct dark spots and scarring. When she is done with that, Keke uses a sponge to apply her NARS concealer to areas that need fixing.

She then applies her foundation and highlighting concealer and lets the product sit before contouring. Lastly, she adds concealers to any missed spots and sets her face with three different powders.

No Skincare Advice Please

While filming the video, Keke clarifies that fans should use products and techniques that work for them. She also explains that she has been getting unwanted skincare advice which she doesn’t appreciate.

Keke warns fans to be careful not to buy any acne products promoted by strangers online. She also writes in the caption that anyone who comments with skincare advice will get blocked.

Palmer advises fans to do research instead of trusting misguided online comments. Keke also reminded fans that you can’t cure acne over the internet, which is an excellent reminder to consult a dermatologist instead.
