DARK SKIN Color correction SECRETS are you doing it wrong?

[@myrao819]

"When you want to learn makeup, come to someone who wants to teach you and not just entertain"...-Destiny Godley

[@Doesitstop]

Myra O Yes! Enough said!!!!

[@ladyinmauve]

Myra O she's spot on with that comment!!! It makes a world of difference having someone teach.

[@kyvette511]

Myra O Loooovvvve this!

[@nancymika]

@Myra O so right! Love her work

[@alayhaferron1972]

I was just gonna comment that.

[@lifewithshawnda]

I love your approach to video making. Nowadays tutorials are more "watch me get ready" than actually teaching the viewer how to properly apply makeup. I appreciate the time you took to explain your technique and then follow up with the demo.

[@alexbella99]

i agree:)

[@TheSharna23]

Absolutely

[@BBCoachCarla]

For Sure!!!

[@ValHoward]

I agree

[@kayyypea]

definitely. Destiny is the OG of technique.

[@SkinnyGirlFatHair86]

This is why I have stayed subbed to you. You want to TEACH, not just entertain. Don’t get me wrong, I live for entertainment. But I appreciate that you have stuck with KZbin all these years and continued to share your knowledge. I’ve followed you for years and I know you’ve had moments of frustration, but I hope you know that you are appreciated by so many. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💖💖💖

[@holistically_nicki]

Couldnt have put this better myself hun, this is the truth. Destiny DESERVES way more recognition!

[@agreen61577]

Yes exactly what you said....she's a wonderful teacher of makeup!

[@honeycomb485]

SkinnyGirlFatHair very well said, I agree as well 💜👏🏽

[@isobel64]

then share her videos and tell more people

[@SkinnyGirlFatHair86]

isobel64 You say that as if you assume I don’t already do those things. 😉😊

[@misskeyla21]

See that's why I fucks with you for the past 8-9 years man. Your technique is more of a natural technique which I like. You are one of the few influencers that keep it natural and not draggish. I learned so much for you. Love you Destiny!!!

[@kyvette511]

misskeyla21 That's it! I couldn't put my thoughts together but absolutely IG drag makeup has heavily influenced far to many MUA's as well as the everyday woman. My client base wants natural, glowy makeup with occasional glam for events. I was so discouraged initially bc so many women wanted the overdone, over painted faces. I finally rebranded myself, was truthful with what I can do and its been a blessing.

[@holistically_nicki]

Destiny, I honestly dont know why you have not surpassed 1 million subscribers by now!! I have been watching you for years and you are simply a master of your craft. For those people who want to learn how to apply makeup correctly and look flawless without all the fluff and showy promos and lights, they need look no further than your channel. The knowledge here is simply first class. Thank you for these invaluable tips Destiny especially about the highlighting, I too have river bed pores lol xx

[@secreteobsession3584]

TheNickiTouch I know because it really annoys me just watching Jeffree Star having so many fans and all he does is speak rude to his fans and his covertly racist and this lady here just does everything for her people who are into makeup

[@kyvette511]

TheNickiTouch Learned everything I know from her. She is an amazing, patient teacher.

[@MissBubblesNOLA]

TheNickiTouch I feel the same thing as well. Destiny put out good consistent videos. I hate to go to the race card but you don't see a lot of black KZbin makeup guru's at the sponsor beauty trips and events just saying.

[@holistically_nicki]

So true girl! we dont like using the race card, but the numbers/Stats dont lie, we are hugely underrepresented in this arena, so it truly irks me when we have true talent and professionals like Destiny, not put in the spotlight.

[@AtHomewithM.Nicole]

Listen!!! People are paying good money to learn these types of techniques!!! This is GOLD

[@cupcake1065]

The mainstream beauty community does not offer even 1 quarter of the information you’re giving in this video. You’re giving classic tips and actually teaching how to do make up. I mean someone can really learn through your videos.

[@zzzzgirl9600]

What I love about your tutorials is that there isn't a lot of unnecessary chatter! Straight and to the point and BEAUTIFUL! At first I thought 20 minutes was eternity, but I found myself checking the time because it went by so fast! I watched a 10 minute video last night and 7 minutes was about the personalities! I hate that! Thank you... I've learned everything I know from you!

[@EpiphanyBlack]

Tried color correcting only, by turning on this video and sitting at my vanity. I listened and tried it. When I just need to get out the door, from now on, I will color correct and go!! Thank you. You have NO IDEA how you have helped me get better at makeup application. I have a long way to go, but I just have to say THANK YOU!!!

[@oldent2]

Girl! The knowledge you just dropped! 😲😲 I have never seen anyone blend their color correction legitimately into their skin! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@agreen61577]

Destiny, you are the 1st YT'ber I watch that was African-American and you have taught me sooooo much... I know YT has become so extra, but please do not stop making videos...we love you!

[@CocoTea101]

I learned how to colour correct from Destiny a few years back!! She was one of first to dedicated videos to this. Destiny, I love you!! Teach em sis!

[@aliceazzun146]

Even though I don’t struggle with discoloration as much as I did in the past, just wanted to let you know that I think you are a phenomenal teacher. I learned so much about color correction from you over the past few years. Your channel is not as big as some other beauty enthusiasts, but it’s the most informative. And that’s what matters - you’re intentions are to help people, not just senselessly engage them. Keep up the good work Destiny. GOAT.

[@AfricanOrchid]

So refreshing to see this video Destiny. Long overdue. You still got it. So many useful tips. Still love your work. :-D

[@grandmaven3752]

I have been waiting for all the truly skilled & experienced KZbin Beauty Gurus with dark complexions to collaborate and create a specialized & complete line. I'm sure it's a lot easier said than done, but it's long overdue. Beautiful as usual btw.

[@kevseb66]

THE KEY: " Figure out what your skin needs and doing "what makes sense" for it instead of copying trends. Thank you for this video. It was soooo needed.

[@holtsdh]

Destiny just wants us out here looking our best. I really enjoyed this video. Im taking notes and correcting mistakes.

[@budzieC]

you're so right about thinking critically before we apply our makeup. i find that every time i put real thought into what my next move is (like for example going in to contour, thinking about where i want to place it, where i want my shadows to fall) my makeup comes out so much better. you really are the queen of this makeup thing and i wish i could like this video 1000x!!

[@superkesha4202]

This is probably my FAVORITE make up video!! I love how you TEACH. Now I know what, how, why....you are awesome!

[@PAASNC]

Sister, I don’t leave KZbin messages but I have to let you know this tutorial has changed my WHOLE make up life. Thanks so much for being detailed. I also love that you’ve shown you us being naturally beat can be done on in budget. Great technique and you’re an awesome instructor! You look gorgeous by the way. 😘

[@FeliciaFrancisEdwards]

This is a very helpful video. When I began my process of being a makeup artist, I was taught about placement for under eye highlighting and contouring. But I found myself following trends and taking the under eye highlight to the temple. Youre right its best to highlight the mid face, nose, forehead and chin (if needed to create an oval shape). Thank you for reminding me about proper placement.

[@HonorTruthTellers2024]

I NEVER knew you could do so much with color correction. I really enjoyed your technique for highlighting without the glitter. THANK YOU for taking time to teach others correct technique.

[@sarinaronel]

THANK YOU. You are only one of 2 people on KZbin that I have seen who has demonstrated this professional, smart approach to colour correcting. The other person being Jordan Liberty. I watched Jordans video first and I was completely shocked at the sparse amount of colour corrected he (and you) used, in very focused areas. Such a refreshing change from the clown correcting these beauty gurus love. Like you said - educate, not entertain!

[@TheHaileyFamily]

Wow!!! My mind is COMPLETELY blown!!! I always wondered why when I use dark orange color correctors I would look so crazy!!! It would peek through my foundation. All this time I needed to be more on the peach side... I’m so upset too because I just threw ALL of my color correctors away 2 weeks ago!!!!!😩

[@phelie763]

I would like to thank you coz you were the first person on KZbin that taught me about colour corrector

[@karlynej]

I love when you educate! Everyone of your color correct videos have always been spot on! The best YT Guru hands down for years. If it wasnt for you the little knowledge I do have with makeup would be non-existence! Riding with you since u were doing videos I believe it was Jersey using Makeup Forever & Lancome!!!👏🏾👏🏾

[@themostroyalqueen3786]

Hands down the BEST MUA on KZbin!...Deserves all respect from the beauty industry.

[@VirginIslandGyal]

I’m loving how you’re doing your videos. I’m enjoying the teaching/class aspect. Loved the look!

[@neferaisha7544]

Still my fav makeup tutorial to date. This lady has schooled many of your favs! I still have to come back to watch this for reassurance from time to time.

[@evamonroe]

I just learned so much here. I've been watching you forever, your skills are off the charts.

[@ladyinmauve]

You are colour correction queen, Desi!!!! Some years ago, I walked into a makeup store for concealer but a worker told me to use an orange colour corrector. I didn't understand much but she applied a product on me. It covered my under eye circles somewhat. But then Desi came uploaded a video not long after that. So, I'm basically accrediting my FULL knowledge of colour correction to Destiny Godley. She's the best!!! Who wouldn't want to learn from the best??!. ;-}

[@adabamuenamaro3647]

The very first time I came about color correcting was from you years ago... it changed my life Thank you.

[@NappyFu]

I truly appreciate you Desi! Your videos are truly educational. Thank you for all you do.

[@nancybash1814]

Thank you both for what you do!!

[@beautifuldreamer8803]

These are the videos I really like.

[@brilliantchic]

Coming through with knowledge, wisdom, and shenanigans 😊

[@miragebeautysupply894]

brilliantchic . What is foolish about anything she is talking about?

[@OddWeird461]

Every so often I forget what a gem you are on here, but wow. You just schooled me today, and this video is so timely too. I was one of those mask girls ages ago, and then stopped using color correctors because it looked crazy. Now I know what I was doing wrong! I’m doing this today and I need to be watching your videos more often, since CLEARLY I’m missing out.

[@kyvette511]

Come through Lady Des💖💖💖 You are a TEACHER! I believe a lot of more "popular" MUA's who may have been taught properly have modified there techniques to go with trends versus actual great natural looks and fundamentals. I appreciate you so much. Will continue to spread the word, and support.

[@EmpressNatiLocs]

I've watched you for years and you are a MASTER at what you do.. You teach so well and I truly appreciate all you do. Can't wait to see you do makeup collabs with companies that recognize the jewel that you are and have your own products. It's coming!

[@Lalobeauty]

I'm so happy you're back on KZbin, I do enjoy your Facebook, Instgram an Snapchat tutorials.

[@Native-Kitty]

It never occurred to me about what you said concerning the use of color correction for those who were born as a male being different for those who were born women, but it makes sense. I learned something new today!

[@carolynmitchell4509]

Native-Kittyl

[@iamprincessbrittany]

YOU are the one who solidified color correction for me back in dazayy...now my clients are benefiting! Always on point.

[@CHRISTINAMAGNOLIA]

This is the best tutorial for makeup that I've seen in the past two years since I've been watching makeup tutorials thank you so much

[@rosieposey4493]

No lies when I'm not feeling my makeup I always remember "go back to the basics" and I go back and watch your videos and you break down skin like a professor. I watch you, I try again and then I'm back on track.

[@mermaidtingzzz]

I've been a long time admirer of yours but I've rarely ever tried actually doing a step by step of any tutorial from any makeup artist. But today I tried this while I watched and I have to thank you! I'm so happy with the look and really appreciate how you give tips on applying for our own face instead just copying someone with completely different features. You're truly amazing and talented! And I geeked out when I saw you on the NYX Can't Stop Won't Stop kiosk! 💜 you!

[@Sincerelyprisca]

Honestly this girl is so unrated... This video is so informative, this should of been trending.

[@palentologist]

One of the most underrated KZbinrs of all time

[@mrssb9111]

Your colour correcting just made my jaw drop. This is so great, thank you!

[@lilmama0622]

So beautiful and precise. I love that you're teaching the right way to apply makeup. I'm lost when it comes to putting on makeup. I always want it to look as natural as possible yet have an elegance. This tutorial showed us that you don't have to look like a clown to achieve the look u want. I'm not a makeup artist or guru but I know it's supposed to enhance your beauty not hide it. Thank you for remembering that....

[@kalishajnz]

I never leave your videos without a valuable lesson and I truly appreciate your talent.

[@latayaswaby]

I really missed your channel. I hope you start putting out even more videos. you really inspired me to try new things and I love how you break things down. You rock!

[@IvyMunro]

Thank you o! I'm so glad someone else pointed this out, I've watched too many videos where a shimmering highlight has jacked up a perfectly good beat. Highlighter is like silk - unforgiving.

[@a70sgirl63]

Girl, you are amazing. I like that you don’t use a whole lot of product and everything looks so natural. I wish I could have a 1:1 session with you.

[@sharonflowers2499]

The best video I have ever seen on color correction. I learned so much from watching your video today. Your explanations made sense. Thank you for teaching. A fan for life.

[@VicariouslyMe]

Omg Im Shook at how good that looked after barely adding the corrector. This was an amazing tutorial I love the lesson Thank you Love xoxo 😘😘

[@Shortcake39553]

Wow, I can't believe how issued the proper technique made low cost products look like high end make up. This is awesome. I can't wait to try this. Thanks!

[@cazwood5904]

you are without a doubt one of the best technical KZbin MUA on this platform . I always check out your channel for technique. Thank you keep it up. xx

[@Erica-ls7bp]

Gorgeous, thank you for once again trying to school the chirren on color corrections & highlighters. Highlighting should be strategic & appropriate for your face shape. Thank you for saying highlighter doesn't and shouldn't always be glittery, your skin texture matters! I appreciate your videos because it's real talk about the WHY you should be using certain makeup tools & techniques, How to use them and most importantly WHEN to use them. You really are the complexion scientist! I've shared your channel with a ton of people over the years. I tell folks that if they want to look like an amazing elevated version of themselves to follow you. After all these years, I've found your color correcting advice has withstood the test of time for me. Thank you.

[@PrettiestProblem]

Girl you are the REAL MVP!!! Your videos are literally the BEST!

[@km.7416]

You are so RIGHT about doing what fits YOU! I have been using tons of primer for my oily skin, because of KZbin, only to find out (on accident) that the primer was the issue. It made my face so CAKEY! I don't use it and now my makeup is so smooth and only a little bit of oil seeps through. The Becca made my face frying pan ready!

[@SA-nt9kl]

You are soo underrated 😭 you need a million subscribers. I really appreciate your work destiny 👍

[@destinygodley]

ty hon...

[@Thinkem29]

I don't know how your personality, skin, eyebrows & videos can be any more perfect. 🙌🏾 - All hail Queen Destiny 🤗

[@nishani3]

BE- U- 2-FULL ...Lookin like a million bucks with make up that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. It's really about the technique...you are awesome!

[@prettybrowni1]

This look is so beautiful . I liked how you hi-lighted with a lighter concealer w/o the shimmer, this looked more natural. I will definitely try some of these techniques. thank you for the lesson.

[@janelj1840]

Always coming through for the beginners.

[@luvofhearts]

Destiny took us to CLASS!!!! Thank you so much for enlightening us with every video you put out while staying true to who you are! Your passion and dedication to this art comes through all the time!

[@christinejohnson4360]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for explaining and showing us the ”why” so beautifully! I appreciate your ministry!

[@tastePINK]

Your true talent speaks to me! I adore your work! I'm so happy you are uploading more frequently on this channel. Thanks for educating us queens!

[@jolietamichal]

GREAT tip about the light concealer to create a highlighte instead of the shimmery highlighter. I feel like that is a more mature approach to makeup. Very creative! Thanks for the tip.

[@carinapaul1191]

I am so glad I sat down and listened to everything I even rewatched this tutorial multiple times and I learned so much. Basics on how to properly apply without overkill and I can't believe how much product I wasted and didn't need all this stuff I have and don't use because it's not my skin tone or I look like a discoball. Your so beautiful and you used affordable makeup and it came out bomb. Plus the proper application of product and where and what to apply and look normal yet pretty. Awesome thank you very much

[@makeupbynila]

I found this tutorial by accident and decided to watch. At 3:35 I was liking this video. AT 7:25 I was subscribing. I didn't know this is what I was missing...thank you.

[@leisurely_diva]

Thank you, finally a normal look that is wearable and achievable! Peach, orange and yellow. Got it!

[@Mimi8402]

I never thought to go back with a clean makeup brush after you apply the highlighter to further blend it in, thanks for the tip!

[@lakishahopkins1021]

I ALWAYS refer people to your channel when they compliment my makeup!! You’ve taught me everything I KNOW!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Aakifah94]

You're so right! I've been watching your videos since day and you've always taught us about colour correction Girl preach!! 🙏🏾

[@mrsgwens]

I'm watching all of your old but SOME GOOD videos!❤❤

[@destinygodley]

yesss glad to help!!!

[@dovealove9966]

Hi hun, you have honestly taught me a lot with this video. You are the first makeup person I am subscribing to. I was once told to use an orange color corrector but no matter how small of the amount I used I looked orangey. I LOVE the how you teach by explaining and doing the visual. I will be heading to Ulta as soon as they open today. Thank you 🥰

[@saniray1]

Yup I been correcting all wrong😡Thanks Destiny, appreciate you taking the time out for a proper lesson🌹

[@ThatChickKim]

To be honest I never really knew if I was color correcting with the right shade or not. Now I know what to do to adjust the shade depending on how dark my blemishes are. Thank you for this.

[@ddee51-g2g2]

I just watched this and several other videos AGAIN (for like the 15th time) of yours and I am very grateful for the way you teach. You teach, "you have to do what makes sense", which I truly appreciate you saying that. I was trying to do what everyone on YT were doing because I thought it was THE way. .. but I've learned from you that that's not the CORRECT WAY and definitely not practical. Thanks Destiny! 💚 😍

[@GigglesnGaggie]

I love that you enjoy teaching, this is exactly what I need. Thank you!

[@floresitatcoop]

great work this applies to any skin tone if one uses the "correct " colors ... so beautiful and natural glam keep teaching

[@azhairving]

I love this video it's been one I return to over and over again. I love that there are very specific points at which I can stop based on how hurried I am and how far I need the face to go on any given day. You are a true master DG. Love you, Sensei 💜

[@myrnamchugh4041]

Your natural skin is sooooo good. You do not need make up. Thx for tutorial.

[@agnesturay]

Yes sister Destiny has spoken. I love u destiny and what you stand for. When I started watching Yt I didn’t know much about makeup or lipstick 💄 that much but by watching all these years I’m learning from u every single time u post a video. I want to say bravo 👏 n keep up the great work. Be blessed

[@deejames7031]

I just want you to know that I am learning & loving everything you are teaching me!! I promise you this morning I said to myself "maybe high lighting isn't for me bc it really puts my pores on display" lol. So again I say thank you!!

[@supaflyjerie]

Your bare skin is so beautiful....all your skin procedures and care has paid off wonderfully

[@ceceoo3]

This is amazing to see it blend into your skin. I have always been intimidated by color correcting for fear of it mixing with my foundation and changing the color but you made it look so effortless and smooth where it truly color corrected and blended in perfectly, with not a bunch of orange and peach and all that clearly visible on your face when you put foundation on. I will try color correcting now. Thank you. And thank you for speaking on highlighter. I have seen people highlighting acne....why just why? You have to do what fits you not just jump on every trend in dealing with makeup and I just dont think sparkly highlighter works for everyone, including me

[@jessey141]

Destiny you're TOO GOOD and your talent/s is (are) underrated. THANK YOU!!!

[@TyDaiLonng]

Wow..not only was this an instructional video but let's get into how you used only L.A Girl products. The average woman can't afford all the high end products. Also loved how u mention how the Drag makeup has effected how women apply their corrector. Thank you Thank you!!

[@LuvingLibra]

I have been using the orange LA Girl concealer (all wrong clearly) & kept wondering why it was showing through. I thought maybe I was just using too much, but after watching this I now know it’s just too dark for what I’m trying to correct & maybe even my skin tone.🤦🏾‍♀️ Thank you soooo very much for this & all you do!!!❤️

[@msmollie]

Thank you so much for this video, I never thought to mix my color correction. I agree that some are too dark. The orange just doesn't hide my dark circles. now I will mix it with the peach and yellow to add the warmth. Thank you so much for this video!!!

[@MamieLouiseAnderson]

I enjoy your tutorials so much! Thanks for sharing your talent, artistry and experience so generously.

[@ByronShears]

This video is FULL of jewels! I love how it proves that if the base is correct eyeshadows are NEVER a need!!! Lovely as always!!! XoXo

[@LadyTeeSevers]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE when u lay down the knowledge! I truly walk away feeling smarter about makeup...Thank You! Please keep educating us!

[@skhan08]

Loved loved loved this video. You taking the time to teach your audience about the steps is what drew me in.

[@ladygee7993]

You make putting on eyelashes so easy. I still haven't learned. Thanks for sharing.

[@dorawilson3626]

Thank you for the color correction lesson! Can't wait to try it on my aging skin

[@tomishamoore2796]

I appreciate this so much. I am not a heavy make up person, but I wanted to learn how to correct my skin. And I love LA Girl.

[@sweetkingjazzybaptiste]

You are too modest honey you have the earliest and the most informitive color correcting videos to date ok boom 😘

[@sonyacapehart2521]

Now this is what I have need needed to see! Great video!
