Artists Up Close: Contouring & Highlighting for Different Skin Tones | MAC Cosmetics

"You want to see the effect, not the makeup." Senior Artists Fatima Thomas and Michelle Lee Collins sculpt, shape and shadow the natural structure of the face with Studio formulas and brushes.

[@manuelaherrera8921]

Fatima needs her own channel. She's awesome and super knowledgeable.

[@AmyC335]

I love to watch you using these products to transform your faces, possibly even your lives since I'm sure it really enhances your confidence. I just wish I could afford to get these basic things to experience that feeling. You are both very beautiful (with & without the makeup). Keep making these videos!!

[@iloveunique07]

I am obsessed with these two ladies. Where have they been all my life?!.

[@MaggieKleppe]

Fatima is amazing! Wish we could see more of her!

[@goldenbrown71]

Fantastic,I loved it and learned lots from Michelle.I wish there was a little more from Fatima because she is brilliant at making foundation,powder,whatever look like your skin, just a million times better.

[@vonniebiggs]

Both these woman are incredible Senior artist.. Let them have their own videos without having to share!!

[@Mllascelles1]

I loved this MAC! Yay Fatima & Michelle ...

[@hellokristeena]

these two are so great together. i love them. great makeup. great tips. incredible video.

[@haleybee123]

I love these videos. I learn so much. I wish I could be a makeup artist and learn even more.

[@w33burd]

Love, love, love these girls together - please have them do more videos together in future ;-) Would like to have seen a wee bit more from Fatima, as she was working on the jawline too, but Michelle's results were amazing. Thanks, girls!

[@trich5621]

...can't believe how Michelle just took over the tutorial, like she was teaching Fatima.

[@JAJ2380]

I really like videos like this where you learn how to use a certain product and also what brush to use with it,

[@chocopurpleluv]

Excellent point from Fatima to stop the cheek contour under the eye and not to make the cheeks look fat. Sure do wish I could have heard more from her!

[@HeyMissT]

damn, i love michelle's nail colour! please can we know what it is??

[@EyeCandySpecial]

I always thought that the concealor palette was for MUA's only but now thanks to this vid I now understand that you can use the dif shades for dif purposes and dif areas of ur face....a lighter shade for under the eyes and a dark shade for blemishes, etc! Do more vids like these MAC!

[@StudioReesau]

Love this- love the magic of make up. Reena MUA

[@rollingpandas]

I am so amazed by the consistency of the new Pro Conceal an Correct Palette. I own it in Light... it would be so helpful if there was a tutorial on how to use all the colors effectively!!!

[@easylove66]

studio fix fluid and powder come in nw10 now! Also an nw13. Also the nw15 in the studio finish concealer is really light as well but in the pro palette they include an nw10!

[@naybeautification]

If you want a one on one tutorial. Watch youtube or pay for a class. Mac did a great job!

[@Care4urSkin]

Find your groove girls!!! This is the KEY

[@MsSportychic11]

Y'all are gorgeous

[@easylove66]

They look like a pair of 33's, my fav! Super natural, light and feathery, but with a rounded centre rather than a "Cat-eye" shape. :)

[@walterma1989]

I like Michelle Lee ~ watched her backstage video before, love that trick on lips

[@VivaLaFredrick]

FATIMA IS THE BEST!!!!

[@EyeCandySpecial]

Hi MAC, can u tell me what lashes Michelle is wearing, it looks soooo natural or is it her real lashes?

[@pervolarsunata]

Pretty sure I saw a beauty blender in there....they could have expanded in that? Or is it just a flash because its not a Mac product

[@nilkamilka]

I'm ınove with Michelle Lee's lipstick! Can anyone tell me which one is it?

[@shortandstuff]

I wonder what shade of foundation Fatima is wearing?

[@ladybubbly19]

i love this

[@frostbat]

LOVE FATIMA!

[@_heyimbritt]

Wanted to see more Fatima

[@Beautylovechild]

What was the cream color blush she used as a highter? I didnt get the name of it.

[@blacklily624]

i like how Fatima is a sheer coverage type of chick. A lot of the Mac girls and boys are full coverage everythang!! lol

[@73ambar]

Me encantó! Se ve tan profesional... Solo hace falta que agreguen subtítulos en español para que sea perfecto :-)

[@vaselinequeen06]

Fatima is amazing

[@pussmonkey17]

it was hush cream colour base :)

[@Beautylovechild]

Thank you!

[@coralringsephia]

Fatima's done so many of these videos I guess she figured she'd let Michelle Lee shine this time

[@Dabupa1185]

Fatima is my fave

[@anichous]

I really liked Michelle's way of showing how its done. But i just wish that Fatima talked more and showed us how she was doing her contour and hilights, because the parts she appears in the video, i just wished she would show the things she was doing differently. Some thing i would do differenly but i guess thats the type of make up style each and every person has.

[@StacyPowerhouse]

Fatima was a good sport :-)

[@FabulousKilljoy02]

holding the brush'low down'..?

[@28nadine]

Foundations and concealers in NW10 please!!!

[@triciamul]

Wish u all would to one on oily t zone and skin and redness in the nose and cheek area

[@cstage37]

Why did they use two people. I wish they could have let them do two seperating videos because they both used different techniques and I would have loved to know what they each did.

[@2write2sing2dance]

Wish the camera would have focused more on the makeup they were doing - though the information they gave was helpful. It was very frustrating to be focusing on a makeup technique, and have the camera cut to white/grey moving makeup quad imagery.

[@NC50Diva]

Why is Fatima even there if Michelle's face is the focus? It was ok though. At least they looked like humans at the end.

[@DWPersianExcursion]

bravo💞💞

[@equus418]

This was a little hard to follow between the two women. First they started with Fatima (start only) then switched to Michelle (start to finish). I'm more interested in what Fatima was doing.

[@NvrSettle]

Can they both collab on future vids with better lighting? I would watch them all.

[@LucyinSkyDiamonds]

bellissimo!

[@remylicioussodelicio]

That is a Mac pro performance sponge.

[@DANI387x]

nope, mac pro performance sponge :). same concept though.

[@keiranjamie]

My 188 sheds terrible for liquid foundation.

[@rosiet4746]

MAC please make your videos in HD! its 2013 i mean come on, its makeup

[@fuchsinrot]

theres not enough light in the vdo, it's not hd, the foundation looks incredibly yellow on the woman on the right and the camera angles won't let me learn anything. GREAT VDO!

[@4hzglore]

The idea of the turorial is brilliant, but it sort of got lost with too much dramatic swift camera changes. It would be more helpful for novices if it was perhaps a little slower?

[@MitzyChann]

I like how the chick with the bangs doesn't shut up and the other girl is just like mhhmm mhmm right haha

[@FlawlessAndFancy]

To MAC: If a professional lighting system is too expensive for the budget, then I recommend you get a pair of work lights (complete with stand) from Walmart. These do great and cost under $40! The lighting in these YT vids is always so horrible.

[@shineababy1]

I never really seen the difference between a highlight and contour face than a regular face of makeup ... THEY all look the same to me ....

[@KathyGarfield]

I wish the camera didn't change angles and zoom so much. Made me queasy. also couldn't see what they were doing because they were showing only one side of their face and it was dark!

[@remylicioussodelicio]

That's a Mac pro performance sponge.

[@WeGoJaiye]

Then you probably need to be using from the C range e.g C5

[@KevinAndrewTube]

IT REALLY BOTHERS ME THAT SHE HAS ALL THAT HAIR IN HER FACE WHILE SHES DOING HER MAKE UP. THATS SO UNCOMFORTABLE FOR ME!

[@hazelmonroe87]

I thought it was just me! Lol

[@theblendvideos]

MAC- Thank you for helping me overcome my apprehension on wearing red lipstick! I made a video on my youtube channel about how I apply my MAC Russian Red Lipstick!

[@bsoria9]

Fatima clearly has more experience and technique.

[@VirgoVixxin]

Im sure the artists are doing great jobs however with the movement of camera and its positioning it makes it hard for the viewers to see.

[@cocolips26]

Yep...

[@EyeCandySpecial]

she speaks like Nicki too!

[@howcouture]

Fatima got a haircut!

[@letterZach]

Michelle is stealing all the video time from Fatima -_- pls don't it's this kind of video format anymore, it's confusing

[@TheEdub76]

why did they use to makeup artist for this video......It took away the educational part of the video for me. The camera work is horrible also.

[@924-j1f]

OMG girl on the right looks like NIKKI MINAJ

[@allyfeeney8430]

CAN WE PLEASE DO A SWAP IT WOULD MEAN SO MUCH TO ME! I PROMISE I WILL SEND GOOD PRODUCTS

[@hazelmonroe87]

Damn hog the video much?? 😒 She did a great job instructing but would have loved to hear from Fatima a little more

[@kanelalam201o]

I really like these videos, but please ask the subtitles in Spanish

[@murderus4600]

I loved the length of this video I hated the one sidedness of it. I was annoyed.

[@TheJazzy1980]

michelle hogged the video. fatima was giving some really good advice, but michelle just made the video all about her technique.

[@ilikecheese133]

im here for the makeup not the cinematography.....

[@Danwsz44]

Some people just don't get it. leave them be.

[@Therobertnderby]

Because of lighting, camera angles, and cutting away to show random black and white images of brushes I didn't care for this video. The information that they presented was informative, but the visuals weren't very helpful at all.

[@ClassicDame08]

She sure did hogged the video. Fatima is classy, but you can tell she's a bit annoyed! Lol

[@MsxCTH]

God you all need to get a life if lighting and camera angle is bothering you! Lighten up for gods same

[@cocolips26]

Ikr..a big waste of time..it was almost like they were playing dress up :(

[@valerianitto]

Molto importante (my new channel Valeria makeup & nails)

[@SweetPrincessP03]

i hate when they place two makeup artist together.. we didn't even herd fatim's wisdem ! !!

[@TrueColorsMUA]

can u guys please keep a permanent true TAUPE (that looks like a real shadow on your face) cream product in stock for the love of god? Stop contouring with orangier shades.

[@akashlawrence4077]

Ok

[@MitzyChann]

the camera work sucks-- it makes everyone dizzy and we can barely see what the artists do

[@PaloSanto7]

Great, another MAC video that shows nothing. I love me some MAC - it's the only thing I wear, but this is the last 'tutorial' I'm watching by you. I get more out of a one minute MAC fashion week tip vid than the whole of this eight minute camera angle carousel.

[@lovehope3753]

michelle lee believe she was the only one doing the video.....shmch

[@MsxCTH]

God you all need to get a life if "lighting & camera angle"

[@786Xainu]

Shocking videoing too much talking and moving about! Got lost have way through the video.

[@boricubana1luv]

These double artist videos give me headache. The infos helpful if you can focus on one of them but It's just way to much going on.

[@lovehope3753]

lee let the other lady talk

[@gnorman91]

She reminds me on nicki minaj lol :)

[@hillalicia35]

The content of this video was very informative however, the lighting didn't suit the purpose of the video

[@beautifulbaldbella]

Beautiful Bald Bellas use MAC on face and head! #BaldisBeautiful. #ISpeakLifeWords

[@basicbeautystudio]

love the information but the video was terrible to follow

[@naybeautification]

She reminds me of Nicki Minaj
