Understanding the Common Do’s and Don’ts of Contouring: A Natural Approach


Introduction:
Lights, camera, action! The world of makeup is an endless canvas filled with vibrant colors and various techniques that can transcend an ordinary look into a masterpiece. From layering to blending, the video tutorial provided takes us on a step-by-step journey into achieving a gorgeous everyday glam look that effortlessly transitions to a sultrier evening look. Let’s peel back this beauty onion and delve deep into the nuggets of insight offered in this tutorial.

Step-by-Step Guide:
Start with a clean, moisturized face. A soft brush is then used to evenly apply a lightweight foundation, the first step towards creating an even canvas. Transitioning to the eyes, the video demonstrates the art of layering eyeshadows, starting with a transition shade in the crease, and gradually building up the intensity with darker hues. A black eyeliner then gives your eyes an alluring definition. The lips are the final frontier, with the tutorial demonstrating how a soft rosy lipstick can be darkened with a deeper shade to create a perfect blend of daytime and nighttime glam.

Key Tips and Advice:
The tutorial underscores the importance of starting with a great base. Using a foundation that is light enough for your skin type can help achieve a flawless canvas. Furthermore, the technique of layering eyeshadows is key to creating a thriving, dramatic eye look. The trick is to start light and gradually build up the intensity, ensuring smoother transitions between colors. Also, do not disregard the power of a good lipstick blend, significantly enhancing the overall makeup result.

Conclusion:
All around, this video is a splendid resource for beauty enthusiasts at all levels. Whether you’re a beginner trying to get the hang of applying eyeshadow or a seasoned expert seeking new ideas, this tutorial offers something new and insightful. It’s up to us to experiment with these techniques and integrate them into our makeup routines.

Smooth and Engaging Flow:
The video captivates our attention from start to finish with its clear instructions and practical demonstrations. It encourages us to see makeup as an empowering tool that enhances our natural beauty while giving us the freedom to express our individual styles and inclinations.

Product and Tool Listing:
1. Foundation (used as a base): A lightweight variety is best for creating a flawless look.
2. Eyeshadows (used for layering): Start with lighter hues and transition to darker variations for a dramatic effect.
3. Eyeliner (used for defining the eyes): A classic black eyeliner can instantly add more depth and drama to your look.
4. Lipstick (used for blending): Using a blend of lighter and darker shade can give you the perfect look for any day or evening event.
5. Brushes: A soft brush to apply foundation evenly and a denser one to layer the eyeshadows effectively.

Armed with these products, tips, and guidelines, it’s time to pursue your makeup adventure!

    My interest in makeup has been a very slow development. As a kid I didn't really care to do it bc I was too lazy low key but I liked it on other ppl, when I entered my 20s I wanted to get into it so I could feel more feminine in a way and I've had a lot of fun experimenting with different colors and stuff. But I've lacked a lot of the technique to ensure that my makeup actually looks good every time so I really really appreciate videos like this that do a proper breakdown of do's and don'ts. I really love the simple and calm demeanor while explaining and emphasizing that one technique may not be wrong, but just not right for you personally. All while still helping me to understand how to figure out what will be best for me when I do my makeup next time. Subscribed!!

    I chose you because your face is a very similar shape to mine! My skin tone is similar too, not very peachy or very yellow, almost like an olive tone but with no tan, I had one of those photo session things once, the make up artist redid my foundation twice, because she couldn’t work out my skin tone.

    Okay that makes sense I'm definitely doing some of what I used to contour wrong cuz I definitely want to minimize my huge forehead and strong jawline I like my cheekbones though So I could highlight those

    it's insane how I've been doing every single "don't" in your videos and been wondering why my makeup always sucks lol. I swear someone at some point told us to do the don'ts!

    Look I’m a very new person to make up. I was born as male but I was so afraid to open up to my feminine desires, but I’m finally out and becoming the gal i always felt but I’m not good at makeup, I just learned how to cover up my five o clock beard shadow but the contouring is even more new to be. But do I put the contour and highlight on BEFORE I put on my foundation?? Help a really confused gal out THANKS

    Great video and the left side definitely looked better than right! Specifically on nose, do you contour one side or do what you did on both sides of nose?? Thanks

  • Posted April 8, 2024 7:44 pm
    by @empea4403

    Regarding the Don’ts: I’ve never seen anyone do the Nike swoosh contour all the way to the nose. And to be honest, I’ve never seen that chin contour either. That said, I think you gave great To Do tips. 👍👍👍

    I was doing the nose thing all wrong, thank you! I was purely copying some non professional videos I’ve seen bc I didn’t feel like I had the time to do the research when I know I need to focus on my job search. I appreciate your videos because not only do you have valuable content that I can only find from someone who is an expert in their field, and I especially appreciate your verbiage and technical terms because I can’t sit through videos where women use baby talk

    OMG OMG OMG 😱 It is Enlightement!!! Thank you so much for this video!❤ When you did right side of your face (less flattering as you said) I immediately saw my own. It is exactly what my face looks like after I'm done with contouring. I hope it will work for me.

    by @plejaren1

    OH NO!!!! I've always loved your contour stick and went to buy it today (in that color you use too) and they don't ship to Australia!!!!!- Please help—— Is there one like that sold in Australia or that ships to here?

    Why you didn't blend the don't side properly compared to the do side which you blend it so good. I agree with what you're teaching us but make sure to show us the difference by properly blending the don't side too

    I just want to say thank you, you fixed my contouring issues and stopped me from making a horrible mistake of giving myself jowls. Although I didn't follow everything and I think if I had my look would have been even better

    I love all of your vids because we have the same face shape as well as eyes as well as skin concerns. I don't see that often when it comes to MAUs, most get surgeries to look like other popular MUAs so it's been getting harder to find tutorials that are helpful. I only just now started to consider contouring and lol, I didn't know where or how to start. This was so helpful!

    I don't know how YouTubers feel about comments on old videos so if it's frowned upon I apologize but OMG this is insane how much the two contouring techniques changed the shape of your face.
