MAC was one of the first cosmetics brands that truly embraced ethnic skin tones. Will be forever grateful for that!

[@NaturalBeautyGlow]

I love this type of makeup look! I'm so sick of the Instagram drag queen look is so unnatural and doesn't highlight your own features but creates a whole different person.

i mean drag queens love wearing it and it makes them feel confident but this looks cute too in more of a natural way!

[@Oldaccount-wx2lg]

SHE is the real representation of MOST Indian Skin!!! thank youuuuu

Her skin and Mickey's makeup skills are my goals!!

MAC Cosmetics Here in Italy we can't find the foundation for Dark skin girls 😒 can you tell them that also black people buy some make up ! Every time I have to order my foundation in France or Germany or in web-site like Douglas ! Hope you'll understand me and sorry for my bad english !

[@merlyneavramoski4102]

Trisha Mishra wow dere duwing the best te can

[@---ct2hj]

fried Chips I agree 100% with you! Luckily Mac listened and their new Diwali makeup tutorial has an (I'm assuming) North Indian girl but of course there were a few jealous South Indians in the comments complaining about how she's too light 🙄

[@sujatatorres8535]

Mickey, when ur in Orlando, come and do my makeup, u are amazing!

[@dianariojas4977]

I'm mexican but my skin and features have always resembled more Indian so this is literally a dream... love how the model looks.

She doesn't need makeup to begin with. Her skin is naturally flawless

Rumsha Rome of course she needs makeup, it's her job.

[@yourstruly6115]

no one needs makeup

[@mermaid000pranu]

this model is gorgeous!!!

[@WA-pd2cc]

Mickey is obviously very good at his job but another thing that makes this video great is the way it is shot. MAC people try to make it snazzy with almost too-fast to focus closeups but this video was slow enough without being still. So that's something I'd like to see more of.

[@PriyankaElffrost]

She is gorgeous!

[@pearly2131]

Thank you Mac for NC42!! You are the first global company who came out with fantastic shades to suit Indian skin!! 👏👏👏👏

You are the best, Mickey Contractor! Love that you are a minimalist too :)

My God, she's beautiful. I really loved the way he perfected her base using powder prior to foundation. He's very talented.

[@khanjandesai2467]

Sam S I agree.. What skin imperfections.. makeupbysherry if you like watching Indian makeup videos check out my latest upload on Indian Ethnic look GRWM :)

[@libra.lounge]

Sam S i know shes BEAUTIFUL. but she had some dark spots and dark circles... its a natural thing. im glad he showed us how he covers them up

[@mickyd4875]

Sam S . Pl

[@---ct2hj]

Sam S Indian women from my experience usually have fewer skin blemishes than we do in the west. Maybe it's due to diet or just simply their genetics but I've never seen an Indian woman with cystic acne. The only issues are probably the occasional pimple or dark circles or hyperpigmentation.

[@somashrestha5198]

Sam S nh

[@itsaaronlolz]

I love MAC, I remember when I first started wearing makeup to hide my acne I would use Studio Fix Fluid and Powder. I love Studio Fix Fluid because it dries to a satiny matte finish 😍

[@1234ang]

She is gorgeous!!!! Love her beautiful brown flawless skin!!!!!!!!

[@juva338]

I like how he tried to bring out her natural color.

[@aalemasaiyed8182]

The true definition of 'less is more' beautiful x

[@jovanapinheiro]

More videos by Mickey Contractor!!!! Please!!! I live in Brazil and this makeup is appropriate to our skin type and climate. Thank you MAC.

[@artagz4507]

Strange how she had her mouth hanging open and they would focus on it when he's applying product elsewhere :D

[@husain3190]

That's called bad posture. Look up mewing.

[@irammb]

it would be brilliant if mickey did another collection with mac. his first one was amazing and have become staples at mac

[@tasnimghani2360]

my biggest complain is when those instagram beauty gurus turn themselves into drag queens..makeup is not about changing your WHOLE face or personality....it's about expressing YOURSELF in a bit more special way so that YOU be YOURSELF and confident... I love mickey's tutorials...so natural and flawless...

[@atiyarahman6094]

her face is to die for...mesmerizing😍

[@mariemr8574]

I'm officially a huge fan of mac cosmetics. Thankyou so much for this video.

Have a nice day and I'm off to buy some cosmetics from mac ♥️♥️♥️

[@rahuulchawla7771]

Mac could you please do more tutorials with Mickey? There are very less videos of his on KZbin. I sincerely request this because there is so much to learn from him.

We're noting your feedback, Rahuul, and we'll be sure to share your wishes with our team for future consideration!

[@rahuulchawla7771]

Thanks a lot Team Mac, I am an indo-Canadian from Toronto. I studied special effects makeup n I just idealize Mickey a lot. There is magic in his finger tips. Thanks a lot for considering and replying. Much appreciated :)

[@cajyotsnaaneja8575]

Rahuul Chawla ....completely agree

[@SeannaMiriah]

She is an Audrey Hepburn classic beauty. I love the flick of liner tip as well as the smoked brown under eye. Great artistry insights for gals who do a lot of makeup on women (and men) of all cultures! Hope to see more models in different age groups in the future as well. All ages, races, and sexes 😘

[@khanjandesai2467]

I find that a lot of MAC cream products work best by warming up the product with your fingers first and then blending with a brush. I love the minimal look. And Mickey is just amazing!!!! His teaching and techniques are brilliant!!!! However I did find the model with her mouth open distracting....

Stunning look! So settle and ah I just wish someone would do my makeup like this for my wedding!

[@pravaraakhya4u]

Not sure who I popped-on to this video but that was a good thing !! You are the only one out all the Indian male make-up artists that talks "SENSE WITH SUBSTANCE". I saw female make-up artists doing good but when it comes to male domain, you seem to know what you are doing and that seems to be appealing and absolutely perfect. I dont know who you are and what you do but this video is a good one on indian folks. Stay Blessed.
