As a high contrast person, I’ve found “natural” or “no makeup” makeup looks worse on me than no makeup at all. But I can slap on a bold lip like I was born that way. Once I figured out the high contrast thing, I gave up buying neutral makeup. Haha

[@Lizzie-h3j]

I wear mascara, blush and Ruby woo and I'm good to go. I have dark brown nearly black hair, lashes and brows and pale cool toned skin and neutral colours look awful on me. Nude lipstick makes me look like I have none 😂

I’m the exact opposite!! I’ve always wanted to wear a bold lip or cat eye liner but I always look like a clown. The only makeup that works on me is no makeup makeup

[@weavrmom]

I had my colors and fashion type done by a professional, and believe you would be what is called a 'Dramatic Contrast' type (I have 0%of that!) and the advice for folks with a significant DC component is that they will always look better with some high-contrast makeup on. That without makeup they will look unfinished and not their best. Figuring out personal makeup colors/style really is an individual thing, right? 🙂

Bobbi Brown has long advocated this "double blush" technique that "fills in the distance." Whatever is "nude" on you, your-cheeks-but-better tone, then a pop of a brighter shade on top as an accent. Thanks for this detailed exploration; contrast explains why I look "formal" really easily with very little actual products if the contrast is too marked. That Beckham Cinnamon Kajal is perfection itself, isn't it?

And then it clicked. But this video was still so helpful with showing how to adjust the midtones and gradients. I've been to makeup artists who don't understand this as well as this video does! 🙀

The definition of contrast: "your skin tone vs the rest of your features; hair color, brow color, eyelash color, lip color, etc." will help me tremendously! SUPERB CONTENT! Now I can play with more confidence and curiosity. I'm a natural warm redhead (with clear brows and light lashes, dark blue green eyes). At 70, my hair has faded closer to my skin tone and I couldn't figure out why my makeup application has gotten so hit or miss - the fine line between bringing fresh color to the face, but not looking harsh (or glam) in daytime. Thanks for being so concise, bright and making this fun to do.

[@Muh-Rang]

This is one of those concepts that's so intuitive that you can leverage it accidentally, but it needs to be explained in depth before you can leverage it purposefully. For myself, I'm thinking of my "everyday" glasses with their dark, bold rim balancing out the low contrast of my bleached hair and tan skin. With my natural black hair, i automatically revert to subtler clear glasses, to balance the high contrast of my hair and skin.

[@AuroraCarlisle]

It’s funny because I used to wear black frames as a dark brunette/very fair neutral skin tone girl. Now as a balayaged blonde fair skinned girl, I wear a lot of gold rims and get compliments all the time. I never really considered why it looked better. It just did.

[@BeautyAndHerBeasts]

Tan skin/light hair = would be in high contrast to one another. Tan skin/Dark Hair would be lower contrast to one another.

[@RosieSandwiches]

Frames really do have such an effect on contrast and makeup choices! Dark hair, fair skin, high contrast. Black frames and I can only wear cooler tones and low contrast lips. Bright tortoiseshell frames and it has to be almost bare skin and a bold rusty warm lip.

[@Soulcrash3]

​@@BeautyAndHerBeasts Not really, it depends how dark her hair originally was and how light she has bleached it and how tan her skin is, tan skin and medium-dark blonde adjacents like honey blonde would usually have very low contrast. It won't become high contrast until your hair is nearing very very blonde/white (and even then won't be as high contrast as a deep skin tone with the same hair or a pale girl with black hair). Like zendaya in the challengers red carpet she has much lower contrast. Dark hair also comes in loads of shades and there are people with black or black adjacent hair who have tan skin but are definitely high contrast, like zendaya with jet black hair. And contrast also goes higher when there one part is cool and the other is warm. I have fair skin and dark hair but I am olive/ ashen both in hair and skin so I have lower contrast than my friend with very similar depth but very "clear" contrasty colours, warm skin and cool hair. So in general it's better not to give blanket statements.

[@squeekytoy123]

I think part of the reason this has never clicked for me is that I'm pretty neutral contrast- naturally medium blonde hair, dark green eyes, but very pale pale lips. My brow girl always asks if I want to go "bold (cooler and darker)" or "subtle (redder and lighter)" and I shift back and forth based on how blonde I am at the time, I've never understood why! These videos are amazing.

[@squeekytoy123]

I'm a painter, and I like makeup but your red lip video changed everything for me! Mind blown! I've only ever been confident with eyeshadow, where I think I was painting subconsciously. I've never been able to choose a lip colour and I'm so excited to put together a look! These are masterclass level videos!

[@radioreverie]

Another important dimension here is saturation. I'm high contrast (naturally black hair, pale nearly-white skin with a desaturated cool blue-pink undertone) and low saturation. Even a blush like Nars Sex Appeal can and does look clownish on me because even though it's pale, it's at maximum saturation for its white value. The darkest blush in your look here would probably look less clownish on me because it has enough gray/black in it to match my extreme desaturation better. It would be the same with Velvet Ribbon as a lip color. It would look *good* on me because of my high contrast, but it would never look casual and effortless. I'd look like a femme fatale at best and a sexy mime at worst! A color like Chai would probably also be my best bet for French girl look, though it might be deep enough against my skin that it would actually look vampy/goth rather than casual and Cinnamon Red is probably too saturated/warm! There are always so many dimensions of art math to consider when trying to replicate a look; it gets a bit dizzying.

[@marielle7505]

I keep reading this comment back, this is so interesting to me!

[@Justaregularoldplumbus]

Girl yes I just commented about my high contrast low saturation situationship as well 😂 luckily I love looking vampy so I play into that!! And avoid anything that could possibly go too bright or orange on me, which is basically everything…. I buy all the grey purple browns and grey greens lol and black mascara forever

[@emilyscottbanks7638]

Yes! This is me too - high contrast but I need that hint of a gray undertone to make it work. I think that’s because my very pale olive undertone actually presents as a little gray? 🤷🏻‍♀️ But everything you mentioned: yes.

I just finished chemo few months ago and ofc my hair, eyebrows and lashes fell off. My new hair is a weird brown with a ton of greys, my eyebrows grew back almost black vs soft brown and my complexion is greyish. I used to colour my hair red but since new hair is delicate, I have to be unrecognisable to myself for another 4-5 months... None of the makeup I own looks the same as before, so it's just tinted SPF, brow gel and bronzer for the time being. I'll have to watch this video a few more times to think about which colors would suit me now.

[@GiovannaRibeiro687]

I've always had this theory that some people are "eyes people" and some are "lips people". If my grandma put on a dark red lipstick with no other make up on, she looks amazing; in fact, she cannot go out of the house without her red lips. If I do the same, I look like a freaking clown and my dark circles pop like Madonna's music. Instead, I go for some mascara, maybe some subtle eyeshadows, and I'm done; for the lips, usually just a lip balm, or if I'm feeling more ✨adventurous✨, a gloss. I guess the contrast might be the reasoning behind that theory.

[@weloverescuedogs2820]

Same! I’ve always thought that too and I’m an “eyes” person. I’m darker than you, but still, I feel like a clown and lots of lip color really ages me. My daughter in the pic with me- doesn’t have on a dark lip here- but she can pull it off in spades. I look ridiculous lol 😂

This explains SO MUCH. I have figured out through trial and error that I look best in mid-tone/moderate contrast colors because I am basically the color of Cream of Wheat from my hair to my neck, with the exception of my eyes, which are a bright aqua shade. This is also made more complicated in that I naturally have both warm & cool tones in my complexion. Even slightly too high contrast, and I go clownish immediately. And if I swing too low, I am super washed out & look dull. I can pull off a little more contrast on my eyes, but not much. I had always thought I was just playing things too safe or staying in my comfort zone, but maybe I was, intuitively, staying in the range that was truly best for me. I love that your brain works this way & would love to see more color contrast videos for different looks.

[@sugaCat363]

This is honestly one of the most useful makeup videos I've ever watched! Just the principles behind it make so much sense. Also that certain colors or types of look aren't inaccessible, but you just have to be strategic to tailor it to your own coloring: mind blowing 🤯 I'm very high contrast (pale skin and dark hair) and cool toned. I remember trying to do the Latte Girl trend and just looking very orange and overdone because that caramel brown is not at home on my skin at all. It took me years to figure out bronzer because I didn't realize that it needed to be either more grey or more rosey to work on me.

I want to point out one occasion where the color seasons are vital and it happens to be the one place where a woman (almost) never wears makeup. That place is bed. I am a winter and I have to admit I look pretty awful in summer and autumn bedsheets, nighties and wall colors; don't particularly care for pastels either. Otherwise, what you say regarding color is spot-on. Colors we drape on our bodies directly impact colors we paint on our skin which can drastically affect the appearance of facial features. I love how you play with the colors here -- great video! Thanks

[@elloohno1349]

[@roboslobin]

I have a naturally high contrast complexion, much like your sister. However, I have been going gray and just letting it happen. This has decreased my contrast some and it has been a struggle to work out what shades now look best with the way I wear makeup. Thanks for explaining "bridging the gap" some in this video. Very helpful. Also, as an aside, my first profession was as a color chemist. So, I really dig when you get in the weeds with color theory.

[@maple_star]

Great demo! As a makeup artist, I have changed lives with this concept. It only gets more interesting as we get older and we “need” more colour. Add some grey hair and we have a whole new equation ♥️

[@jessicadarling808]

The french look is basically (high quality skin care), then sheer-medium cover foundation like Glossier Stretch Fluid or better yet Perfecting Skin Tint or Lancôme Teint Miracle (for older skin) a red lip that matches your skin tone (avoid all day colour stay varieties that can dry out your lips), mascara and eyeliner and only a natural amount of blush if any. Never any eyeshadow if wearing a red lip. You can run your used blush brush gently over your eyelids for contrast. I also use a clear brow mascara. I absolutely appreciate and understand the techniques you have explained and utilised here to create high contrast, however the French bold lip is designed as a point of contrast in a very low make up look. Building up the confidence to wear a bold lip alone without a full face of makeup can feel a lot when you first start. Purchase a couple of cheaper lipsticks in a similar shade to the one you intend to wear, and start wearing your look around your home. Make sure the lipstick you intend to wear is comfortable, non drying, does not wear off within minutes and makes you feel special. In no time you will be ready to debut your bold red lip. Work with lipstick formulation to tone down how bold the lip is, if you just can’t get there, semi-gloss, matte, techniques described by Kackie such as smudging the edges or ombré reds. The bold red vinyl lip is not very forgiving. It suits women with the whitest of teeth, it shows up coffee and nicotine stains. I find I can best manage it in winter spring or autumn when the light is more diffuse, I can wear very large sunglasses that obscure most of my face and only when I am not smiling! I’m sure I’m too old, but no one will tell me what to do just yet. 🥴

[@lanahellebaut5728]

This was so helpful! I'm suuuuuper pale and I often use recommendations for lip colors from other pale skinned people, only to have my lips disappear and look completely washed out. I have medium brown hair, strong eyebrows and pigmented lips and I have to say I had already realised that I just don"t love light lipstick because of the natural pigmentation of my lips, but you gave me language and much more understanding on the subject! Thanks a lot!

[@alisoneardley3849]

You’ve just answered the reason as to why all the make up I try to replicate from influencers doesn’t work for me. I’m pale, with white blonde eyebrows and eyelashes… I always say I have a blank face if I don’t colour my brows and lashes! I’ve now started using brown everything but always wondered why a red lip looked absolutely ridiculous! Well thanks for answering that… thank you 😊

[@marshaspears9142]

Progressing from ravishing auburn hair to sparkling platinum silver hair was an unwelcome and unexpected metamorphosis. Now there is minimal contrast between my hair and very “English” fair skin. Thank you for the concise, “hold my hand” while you do it explanation. It finally makes sense. Tomorrow, my daily makeup routine changes. Thank you.

[@alexandrialadd3125]

This has blown my mind! I have always wondered why some girls look so beautiful with such simple makeup, whereas I have to add a lot of depth to really feel like I look special. I even thought maybe those girls are prettier and need less but this explanation is perfect. Im just higher contrast and have very dark hair, eyes, brows, and lips. Thank you so much for this!!!!!

[@allegraeknight-byrnes883]

I'm a strawberry blonde in the most low contrast looking way: soft red hair, creamy pink complexion with subtle freckles. About halfway through this video I almost spiraled out thinking back to my favorite lip color from my youth and worrying that I looked like a clown and no one told me. You put chai on your hand and I was like, "that's Aveda's cerise!" And to see how amazing you looked in it was such a relief. I learned a lot! I rarely wear makeup but I will be attempting to employ these techniques when I do.

[@colleencc7]

Brilliant explanation! I am getting into my mid-fifties and what I am actually struggling with now is the fact that instead of my hair and eyebrows going gray, they are instead just fading from a dark brown to a more blah-mid tone brown - I am literally changing from a high-contrast complexion and look to a low contrast one and I am trying to figure out how to adjust my usual makeup looks. I was aware that this is what was happening but I didn’t realize that I can kinda get away with both types of looks the way you are showing it. I feel like I am going to have to watch this over a few times to really get the full picture. Thanks for talking about something that I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone else talk about on all the makeup channels!

[@cinemaocd1752]

I've learned so much from this channel over the years and this might be the most mind blowing thing. This explains why black eyeliner looks so harsh on me. I have pale brows and eyelashes, light green eyes and medium blonde with some gray streaks in my hair. I have fairly pigmented lips naturally so I always think I look better with a nude lip that softens that harshness! This explains a lot. Also, it's great to see Jackie get some props. I love to see genuine appreciation for other people's skills and not necessarily in a collab which usually has a ratings boosting reason.

[@kackie]

I'm so glad this helped connect the dots for you! And god yes I've always loved Jackie. She has the FUNNIEST turn of phrase and is SO talented and smart. Also she's such a Leo. Big fire energy.

[@TheChakka888]

I watched this while having morning coffee and I think I need to watch again when I am more awake! What a great video. Thank you!

[@CelesteSeeker]

I've known about contrast for forever and never thought to consciously apply that knowledge to my makeup! There was this disconnect in my mind for some reason! I knew my looks easily turned too glam and looked like I was trying way too hard, but I had a hard time toning it down without looking too low-contrast and ghostly. Thank you so much for this video! Definitely subbed!

[@2shadowcats2]

I remember when Delta Burke bleached her black hair to platinum blonde. Her makeup suddenly looked overdone and clownish, because it was bold and bright to match her dark hair. It didn't work against the lighter hair. What you are saying makes perfect sense!! This is why hot pink dark or vivid red or purple lipsticks look ghastly on me!!

[@NatalieAnn-m7m]

Talk about a stunning woman. Deltas skin is porcelain. I know what you speak of re: her blond.

[@alieninthewindow5566]

Ive got natural black hair and very pale skin & green eyes, i do goth makeup everyday for like 30 plus years.....and i dyed my hair lighter mahogany red and enjoyed the pink lipsticks but i just felt odd like its not me, something was off... i missed wearing red lipstick and all my usual makeup,i used when i had black hair looked different. So im happy i went back to my jet black hair as i look like myself. And im definitely high contrast, compared to when i wore red mahogany hair it kind of made my makeup muted, nude and it didnt suit me. New subscriber ❤

[@sunnysorrel]

I did my makeup for an event yesterday and binge watching kackie came in clutch because i was like hmm i wonder why my makeup looks weird and then realised my foundation was a bit cool toned and so was my eyeshadow but my blush was PEACH and changing it helped so much ! Thank you for being so entertaining and educational

[@kackie]

omg that I have this impact is...so fulfilling thank you

[@sunnysorrel]

@@kackie 🥰🥰💖 ofc!

[@betty4gators]

Okay I am almost 60 yrs old been loving makeup since I was like 14 and thought I knew it all then I watch your video. I learned so much!! I am guessing your background as an artist helped your explanation - it was almost like I was back in art class in college but for my face not a canvas. Your detailed enthusiastic tutorial is so appreciated. It is late I am about to hit shower and bed but can not wait to do my makeup tomorrow with your tips!

[@noomitje8]

I've darkened my hair over the last year or so (which just means: less and less bright highlights) and now i feel like I can "get away" with wearing no makeup at all way easier!

[@Chaotic313]

The addition of the "Log" song was epic.🥰 So, in an attempt to give my medium blonde hair a slight red tint, accidentally dyed it a terracotta red. I went from low contrast to high overnight, and had to completely change my makeup. My usual makeup was invisible. Twas quite the adventure!

[@RaelNikolaidis]

Loved this. I would love a demonstration / explanation of how undertones change colours of makeup. For example. Everything turns fluorescent pink on me. Why? You are the Artist With The Answers, clearly. I could ( and have) watched you “get into the weeds” for hours. Thank you! ☺️ ❤

[@classictomatosoup]

Do you have a green/olive undertone? :) pink against green really pops!

[@echolaliac]

meanwhile things tending to look as orange as they could on me… 🙃

[@mediterraneangirl947]

Amazing video! It explains a lot. Years ago I bought lipstain in dark plum color, that had terrible reviews, people were saying it was too dark. It was cheap and I liked the color in the tube, but OMG on my lips and my face it looked so natural so effortless. My favorite makeup ever. It brightened my whole complexion, my eyes looked so alive and prominent, and you could´t even see the lipstain , my dark circles disappeared, skintone looked even, magical color, sadly it was LE. Bought many dupes, but nothing came close.

[@linesch2569]

Omg I just remembered I had the same with a lipstick I wore in college! It was discontinued and I missed it for years after

[@auderp]

I had my color analysis done a few months ago, and rather than treating it like a set of rules to follow, it really just taught me where on the Munsell Color System my natural color palette is. This video was a really practical demonstration about how to examine a makeup look on another person with a different natural color palette, and normalizing it to your color palette. I found out I'm typed as a Light Spring, also low contrast, and now I know if I want to achieve drama via contrast, I don't have to run as objectively as full a gamut of values (light-dark) or stick to as "pure" of colors as a Bright season (adding white to these pure colors will look more harmonious on me). That being said, "looking harmonious" does not *equate* to "looking good" because the former has a semblance of measurability and the latter allows for the flexibility of context and semantics and human expression and all of these other qualitative things.

[@angelopouIos]

a few years ago, I was rocking light brown hair. After, I decided to stick to my natural, near-black hair. I noticed the makeup, which I've curated and labelled as "flattering on me", started looking not as good. I just had the realization now that it's the contrast. Dang. Amazing video! Thank you!

[@pamallen7534]

Kackie, this is SO HELPFUL! I have never understood why paler lipsticks didn’t look good on me. The palest I can go where I still look good is Charlotte Tilbury’s candy chic, and I’m a similar skin tone to you. I thought it was maybe because pale lipsticks can sway too orange, but I recently tried a cool toned one and still hated it. I am high contrast! I wouldn’t have thought so because I’m pale and my hair isn’t that dark, but I only really look good in darker lip colours, and lighter eyeliners and eyeshadows just disappear on me. This is fabulous and so helpful!

[@victoriaj.9055]

Girl yes 🙌🏼 it took me absolutely forever to figure out why as a pale girl I look best in shades like pillow talk medium instead of light. Here we go!

[@Ladynipchick2]

Yes, fair skinned here, but possibly higher contrast than I realised.

[@camvin575]

"Are the wings even? NO!! Are we leaving them? YESS!!" Love this and new subscriber, thank you. I always said that when i had bright red hair, i had to tone down my make-up, even red over brown it makes you look warm, so you have to account for that. Nobody would listen to me, but how you have broken it down is impeccable, so thank you. I never say impeccable to anybody. You can check my comments, but it's true here.

[@LisaF_]

I’ve always wondered why I need a punchy lip to look “right” WOW! It’s finally clicked!!! I love, love, love this video!!! Thank you so much for making this!!! It’s like a huge lightbulb moment for me!!!

[@juliethomas3575]

At first I thought this was going right over my head but by the end? I think I have a good grasp of your point. I’m 53 years old and I really love makeup. My problem is that I don’t really know what my canvas really is. I live very far from Ulta and Sephora so I order online. Other than the “what color are your veins” bullshit. So I don’t wear concealer or foundation because they make me look older! Any suggestions on how to figure out my skin tone? Thanks!

[@CM-uq7km]

There are a few ways to determine your skin tone, including: Vein color In natural light, look at the color of your veins on your inner wrist: Cool skin tone: Veins appear blue or purple Warm skin tone: Veins appear green or greenish blue Neutral skin tone: Veins are hard to tell if they're green or blue Sun exposure Consider how your skin reacts to the sun: Fair skin tone: Burns easily and doesn't tan Light skin tone: Burns and tans a little Medium skin tone: Tans easily but rarely burns Dark skin tone: Never burns but tans with prolonged exposure Jewelry test Hold a necklace or bracelet against your skin and see which metal makes your skin look healthier: White tee test Wear a plain white T-shirt or dress and look at your face in neutral lighting: Eye color Consider the warm or cool tones in your eye color

[@jenn8179]

I JUST tried to do a nice red lip last night...I DID feel like a clown and ended up wiping it off. This was so insightful!

[@michaelawoods9144]

I love this explanation, I am in entertainment so when I’m getting ready for work I have to do high-contrast makeup so that it translates to the Jumbotron, but when I am living day-to-day I do low-contrast makeup because I have freckles that blend into my medium hair. The difference a brown vs black mascara can make is truly aura-altering!

[@caitlinstark9321]

This may be one of my favorite art math sessions ever!!!

[@stacyray25]

Wow!! You look like Cindy Crawford from back in the day with the true red lip!! It actually looks beautiful on you too but definitely for a night out instead of everyday!! I have a medium olive skin tone and blush disappears on me as well as bronzer!! Why does this happen? What shade would a medium olive skin girt look good in the makeup by Mario bronzer that you use? Love all your videos!!

[@tinasmith7596]

I just found your channel and you have solved an issue I’ve been having for the last 12 years in 10 mins. I used to have very dark natural hair and eyebrows with light/ medium neutral skin. About 12 years ago, I decided to start going lighter, like your sister I start putting light high lights in and kept getting lighter and lighter. I finally decided to see what my gray would look like on me. my gray is basically white around my face so it blends into my skin now. I have been fighting my make up for 12 years and now I know it’s because I went from high contrast to a low contrast and I’m still trying to do my make up as a high contrast and that’s why I feel my make up always looks overdone or just not complementary. Thank you, thank you for sharing your knowledge. You have become a new favorite KZbinr to watch. ❤

[@KarlaKoebernick]

This is so helpful; when they say there's a red for everyone, it might not be red!

[@kackie]

Yep, I say that. Haha. I have a video about it!

[@sarkahalastova9667]

A fun fact: not a single true red lipstick was found in Marylin Monroes’s makeup stash. She only wore orange red. Erin Parsons had a great video on that (and owns one of those lipsticks). That’s when this revelation struck me for first time.

[@Korenski23VO]

I heard every word you said and I knew what those words meant individually, but all of this went way over my head. I am not a makeup connoisseur I just thought this looked cool. But I have learned makeup is way more complex than I ever knew. 😂

[@mrsrjlupin3650]

What I got was: if your natural features are low contrast, ie the colours and shades are close to each other: using colours that are also low contrast will give you a "natural" "clean" look, rather than high contrast, which will give a more "glam" look. If your features are high contrast, low contrast makeup disappears, and high contrast makeup suits you for an everyday look. If you have medium contrast, I'm inferring the low contrast/high contrast makeup won't completely disappear nor be too "glam".

[@artofhazelito]

This was sooooo helpful to me and clearly demonstrated why high contrast is such a struggle for me, especially as I get older. Now I understand why just the barest lipstick looks like a nice pink or red on my low contrast face, while strong colors strongly applied make me look like a clown! Thank you so much!!

[@mixchixbeauty2492]

This really blew my mind. I could never figure out why really casual makeup looks I do go glam so quickly! Now I know it’s because I am low contrast naturally and need to pick colors closer to my skin tone when I want that effortless look. Thank you so much I am so excited to try this!!!!

[@terriburns8174]

Thanks for this! This summary helped me soooo much. I was getting lost.

[@rachelpeterson3556]

This is a great video! This explains why I don’t like how I look as a blonde. I have dark eyebrows and eyelashes with light skin and blonde highlights always looked ‘off’ with my coloring.

[@rheahalona]

Your videos are so entertaining, but more than that, they are educational and so smart.

[@bernie9564]

Ok, I have been thinking about this for a week and it has blown my mind. This is exactly why my high contrast makeup doesn't look as it once did now that I have auburn hair. Thank you 🙏 this makes so much sense

[@lindablackerby9819]

I’m also a painter and you did such an amazing job of explaining contrast from a skin and makeup POV! In case it helps anyone - your level of contrast can change over time. When I was younger my skin was considered very neutral, and my eyes were a darker brown and my hair and brows were darker, so I was a higher contrast. As an older woman, my skin is now warmer and my eye pigment faded to a hazel green. I lighten my hair to cover gray, and voila, I am now very low (warm) contrast. It took a while to realize my black wardrobe was washing me out and my makeup had to change!!!!

[@martifinan998]

Great demonstration! It also serves as an illustration of the effect that high versus low contrast can have as a woman ages. Generally, I'd say low contrast suits more older women more often, whether they are or used to be high contrast. Age has a way of gentling down one's face and lower contrast looks more refined. That said, a light touch with high contrast makeup can definitely suit older women on some occasions!

[@maggiegmcgrann]

I really love videos like this from you that bring not only the knowledge and art tools to make decisions about how we want to look but also give a Kackie-centered perspective on how YOU interpret a trend or makeup need.

[@kackie]

Gosh thank you SO much this means the world to me!!

[@CaraLindsey]

Here I am at 55 and feel like you are unlocking the secrets of the universe... Thank you! I love that you have shown us the idea of contrast and how we can "fill in" to bridge a color between high and low contrast. I feel like my make up in the 80s and 90s was definitely high contrast but have low contrast coloring and today would cringe to go high contrast. Also, I remember a fellow fair, blue-eyed friend and I discussing a mutual friend who is beautiful, wears so much more make up that looks effortless. She is fair with brown eyes and dark brown hair. How'd it take so long to "see" this???

[@CaraLindsey]

Okay, just one more thought on this b/c you've gotten me thinking about how everyone has gone nuts over the RMS blushes, which I also love. Some influencers, though, go so high contrast that it can look clownish -- "filling in" or layering in colors to "move" the contrast would be so much flattering -- and fun!

[@ZAPitsALEX]

This was really helpful. Thank you so much for going into depth on this topic! Would it be possible to also do your sister's makeup so that we can see someone with more high contrast features??

[@vickyh9430]

The first video I've ever seen of you and literally 3 minutes in I am obsessed with you keep doing what you're doing. I can't wait to finish the video I had to comment in real time. before I even got through the video 😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥

[@MariaLuckyxo]

I was intrigued by the title of this video and I admit I thought it would be clickbait but it's not:) This is a great explanation on contrast and understanding contrast in make up choices. I'd love to see more videos on the concept either further explaining it or reiterating the basics explained here.

[@kackie]

Absolutely!!

[@nataliestephenson215]

As you can probably see from my profile picture, I am low contrast! As recently as last year I would still watch Violette and buy reds in different undertones to try and achieve this look. None of them worked, and now I know why! I’m seeing this right on time for a wedding I’ll be attending as a bridesmaid in a couple weeks, and I am so grateful you went into detail and really showed us how to wear our version

[@KatherineCutrufello]

When you started singing the log song I freaking lost it! I love you and your chaos, it’s perfect. Never change!

[@mimi_kt]

I'm a tiny bit lost😅 When asked about feeling like a goddess with a red lip i was like "yes, that's me!"I love bold lips and think they suit me, but looking at myself now i realise i'm actually quite low contrast. Though i have dark brows and dark eyes, I have light skin, grey hair and my lips are pale. I used to have dark/black hair for most of my adult life and now, at 44 with grey hair, i struggle doing more makeup because it easily looks too dramatic and makes me look older. I will definitely keep loving bold lips, it just makes me feel good, but i'll keep your video in mind and try to play with different colours😊

[@lvvl1005]

As a fellow low contrast girl, who also absolutely loves the ‘French girl’ look, my go to soft reds are Clinique Angel red (cool), Kosas Deep Talks (cool), Smashbox First time (warm coral red), YSL Nu inattendu (warm deep red), Chanel Bloom Kind and Chanel Brun Affirme (both are deep, warmer reds). Revlon Wine with Everything crème is also a good soft red. Bobbi Brown Crushed lipsticks are perfect for low contrast looks. It’s also not just about color, but finish as well- low contrast complexions don’t always look great with lots of shine or sparkle. Things like super glossy lips and overly shimmery highlights can look out of place on us very easily. Thanks for the awesome video!!

[@sukimarmelaide4030]

That is an excellent point

[@roxannelarochelle7234]

I would love to see a video on how to bring an "accidental high contrast makeup" back to a low contrast one when you get too carried away as a low contrast human. The biggest trick I got from you is on how to "bridge the gap" between my concealer and blush by using a light bronzer or a darker face powder ! I love blush a lot so sometimes i need to tone down the contrast by doing that trick. I also do it a bit on my jawline if my bronzer is too dark that day and my jawline is casper white in comparison. (Dont forget to bring the bronzer down the neck a bit as well 😅

[@MillieMaa]

love this!!! for us 50+ folks - as you age, your needs will likely change. I am neutral/warm, very fair, bright redhead with hazel eyes. I am probably mostly low contrast, but when I was younger I could get away with dramatic looks like a stong brow and no mascara, navy eyeliner or a bright orange lip (high contrast against fair skin and bright hair), but as I've gone more gray and my face has aged, these don't look as good. I still need a relatively strong brow and mascara, but if I do a strong lip it looks very costumey. It's like there's both a harshness (eg receding hairlines) and a softening (eyes and jawline) that's a part of aging, so a softer touch (for a lot of folks, not everyone) is more flattering. So interesting...

[@sarahkelly4095]

In my late 30s I’m already having to adjust the level of contrast I choose for makeup!

[@kimberly38amsterdam]

Same here. Did you try Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk eyeshadow and lip combined with a standout color eyeliner on the waterlines? Works for me.

[@NatalieAnn-m7m]

Redheads are stunning! Lucky you.😊

So not a fan of the receding hairline situation. I thank God I was born with a bunch of big hair so I still have some left up there.😊

[@toriiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

Thank you for saying that it’s malleable and changing!!! I thought a pale girl like me couldn’t wear black because it “washes me out” but if I increase the contrast in my makeup then black clothes look fine

[@yensid4294]

It's so cool to hear another artist/painter using art terminolgy like edges, contrast, etc & demonstrating saturation & contrast in such a visual comparative way.

[@kaylacasco4438]

Thank you. My brain juices are flowing! This has been hard for me to figure out, because I have very dark brown hair, black eyebrows and black eyelashes. But when you said your freckles make your skin not so bright, something clicked. I have freckles, and geeeny-yellow hazel eyes, and even though my eyebrows are black and big, they aren't very "pigmented" or saturated. I must have fine eyebrow hairs. When I put a black brow gel/mascara on my black eyebrows I look crazy. And my eyebrows are the only thing you see on my face. So even thought I technically have some dark features, I have low contrast. Thanks for helping me see that 🙂

[@Sugarandflames]

Girl, please do more of this!! I’m so nerding out because I looove this stuff.

[@4WhatItsWorth]

omg, this is everything. I have been trying to describe for years this exact situation and I could never find the right words or explanation. But this is it! My complexion is 100% low contrast! I can pull off high contrast make-up if I'm going to an event but if I try to do it during the day I look WAY too overdone. So I would have to go more nude/natural to not look overdone but then on photos I wouldn't 'pop' the way my friends did. And I used to wonder how on earth can they get away with such a "done up" look during the day and I couldn't. Before watching this video I would have described it as "flat/dull/without dimension" but that never really felt right because my face isn't any of those things. But it is the low contrast between features that gives that impression when it comes to make-up and photos. I feel like this has explained SO much. Thank you! Now I know how to blend the high contrast areas a bit more so that it is more subtle between my actual skin and the pops of colour. That way I can still go more glam/striking during the day if I want to without looking like a clown 😅

[@Doleniam]

This is so valuable for my brain that needs visual side by side. Thank you, Kackie! 🙌

[@rickieleel.1806]

I never leave comments on KZbin videos. I’m 33 and I’ve been into beauty since I was 12. I have to say this is the best explanation I have ever seen as to why I (a pale redhead) can’t pull off traditional French girl makeup. Thank you so much for making this!

[@gemrad87]

Yes, yes, yes, yes, YES!!! For me, personally, any & every lip color looks more flattering on me when I add a hint of Revlon’s Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Sweetheart to the inside of my lips, and a touch on the center of my bottom lip. It’s the perfect contrast, for me. 👌🏼 The balancing act!

[@Qplyy]

A few years ago when colour analysis (clothes) was stumping me, I watched an Aly Art video that explained about contrast and my mind was blown! This video is having the same effect but for makeup, and art!

[@АнастасияХамелеон]

OMG 😮 I really can’t unsee contrasts on everyone after your video And finally it’s an answer for my every year frustration “why my makeup sucks if I get tanned?!” Because I just loose contrast!

[@melissahainz8851]

I love this! One of the most interesting tutorials I've seen in awhile! And so applicable as a higher contrast (dark hair, pale face, pink undertones) that is aging into lower contrast (grey-white hair, still pale and pinkish). Colors look different on me now

[@isibisi87]

Thank you for this video, it really explaines so much! When you said Milk bronzer in "toasted" is too grey on you, it totally clicked why your colour recommendations never worked on my skin: "Toasted" is perfect on me. It disappeares, creates the most subtle shadow and depth. The orange/deep browns you can wear look ridiculously warm on me. I need a touch of grey in my colours, without turning cool (because I am still on the warmer side of neutral). And I too cannot wear any of the true reds of Lisa. Her skin tint in T7 is perfection though. Super interesting!

[@liz54321]

This is so helpful, and explains so much of why I can sometimes wear something, but other times it makes me look incredibly washed out. 💚

[@MadAboutBrows]

This is so fascinating! I never got the point of "transition shades" until you likened it to filling in the mid shades of bleached hair 🤯
