5 Common Eye "Makeup Mistakes" & How to Correct Them

[@Kc-dq7zj]

I absolutely LOVE the "don't" side. You look stunning!!

[@katherinef9110]

So did I!

[@jijiipetti1433]

The don't side is dramatic, sultry and beautiful. The other side is like a day look, more natural. I'd do the don't look for evening.

[@alisam2949]

The fact that how you did the DONT side even looks great 😂

[@yarenkurt577]

I couldn’t tell which one was the wrong side at the start

[@mashenka6189]

I like both sides..to be honest..one is more sultry.

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

LOL!! Nothing wrong with that! Thank you so much for watching! I hope you still found it helpful!

[@alisam2949]

@@Makeupbynikkilaroseit always does . I sadly have super hooded lids and find it hard doing my eyes

[@missyjet5177]

I think the don’t eye looks great 😂😂

[@karinaestrada6802]

Thanks Nikki, I love how your “don’t” side is not exaggerated, and very much relatable & still ok/good, but you just provide those useful yet subtle tips to bring it up a notch xo ❤️

[@Beaners386]

I think, apart from the lashes, the "don't" side actually makes the eyes look larger, as the crease shadw is pulled to the upper center of lid, rounding the eye up. Applying lashes so the longest appear at the center (rather than outer corners) of the eyes also helps lift hooded eyes up, rather than narrowing/elongating them. For someone (like me) who has wider-set eyes and a lot of lid space, it's good to bring a darker tone up more and into the inner corners of upper lid space, as long as it's well blended (rather than focusing the darkest along the outers, which pulls eyes farther apart). So much of this depends on eye size, placement & shape. That said, both looks are stunning, just different. 😊

[@KLD-es6ft]

I agree. When I look at the thumbnail, my eyes are immediately drawn to the "don't" eye. Ive always been told the "don't line the waterline, it closes the eye up" thing but irl I really disagree. It defines them beautifully and is sultry. The "do" side is beautiful, but very daytime

[@autismandpodcast]

Nikki, I'm a MUA based in ldn, have been doing it for 15 years. Not that you need my validation 🤣 but you're such a great mua! Such fab tips for non Muas ❤️💃

[@me0wKat]

Guys it's the curse of having two differently set eyes!!! As Nikki's mentioned in many vids of past, her right eye(the do side) is hooded. So what ends up happening is our conditioned eyes automatically veer towards the wider more "normal" looking eye. Obviously in comparison we can actually see the work that's been put in on the don't side. Also, Nikki is an artist. She will indubitably bang out the biggest of makeup no-no's with perfect ease. That is called talent 👏🏼❤

[@christinemack2153]

Your demo and step by step tips are so, so helpful and a step above! Thank you, Nikki!

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Yay!! So happy you liked this video and found it helpful !!!

[@Elquds]

Hi Nikki! I’m a freelance makeup artist, and I love your explanation and demonstration of eyelash application. I’ve taught clients to do the same. I used to pull up pictures I had saved on my phone of Sophia Loren. I zoomed in and showed them how far off her lashes were from her lid to give her that lift. When you look close, you see the little gap between lash and upper lash line, as well as the length. She had her lashes going up and out past her lash line. The application of makeup is art. I can’t draw to save my life, but I can transform and teach. Nikki, thank you for the work you put into your videos and for helping people get their makeup how they want. Being able to teach is a beautiful thing that not everyone has. Have a beautiful weekend. I hope I don’t miss the Live tomorrow.

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Omg thank you so so much for the sweet message!!!! This means a lot to me, I appreciate the support!! Love that you use Sophia Loren as a lash reference for your clients. She’s one of my favorite faces ever !! I’ll definitely work on filming a more in depth lash video for my channel if it’s something you’d like to see!! Again thank you so much for the kind words and have a great weekend as well!!

[@Elquds]

@@Makeupbynikkilarose I think since you have the platform, it would help many people understand lashes and lash application for different eye shapes. I freelance, but there’s always room to learn something new. And because you have the talent of explaining and teaching, I’m sure many people would appreciate it. I wanted to begin a KZbin channel way back around 2009, but things didn’t go my way. Years later, the beauty space became something difficult to see myself flourish in. I do enjoy your content because you always think about the viewers/subscribers first. I hope your channel keeps growing. I also love Sophia Loren’s face!

[@ShelbyTae]

Both sides look fabulous ❤ different moods but the don’t side actually looks bomb on you ❤

[@edlinbennett7649]

That eyeliner hack was MUCH needed for me!! I used to use eyeliner daily in my early 20’s and now that I rarely use it, when i try to apply it for a special occasion, it looks terrible. Thank you sooooo much for those tips!!!

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Hi Edlin! Thank you so much for watching this video, I’m so happy you found it helpful!!

[@carmenw9195]

Nikki, This is a fantastic tutorial!! It’s such an effective teaching technique to show what NOT to do contrasted with what TO do. Thank you for taking the time to carefully demonstrate and EXPLAIN the why for each step and technique. ❤❤❤

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Hi Carmen!! I’m so happy you found this tutorial helpful!!

[@jessicajones8080]

Wow, I never even thought about any of this. Your gonna make us pros at the makeup game with all your tips and tricks. Definitely using these next time I do my makeup.

[@cassielawyer87]

This was one of the most helpful makeup tutorials I’ve ever watched, and I’ve been watching makeup KZbin for 10 years. Thank you so much!

[@bethsutton5063]

I totally agree with priming your eyelids! Helps your product blend. I powder my brows with loose powder. Helps my brow powder go on smoothly.

[@apresmoa]

I was skeptical until I tried this yesterday. I need to work on the eyeliner but my eyelashes have never looked better. I didn't even curl them - wild! Thank you!

[@SoulShiner1115]

So glad I found your channel. I have similar eyes to you. They’re hooded AND deep set (a bit more deep set than yours, but still similar). Every year or so, I attempt liquid liner and give up because it never looks right. It always ends up either looking like a weird check mark or too thick. Gonna give it a try using your tips and see how it goes.

[@geylekinfraire8596]

Thanku for the intro cuz I luv the look of the Wrong side & I do some of these things, ur eyes look bigger on the wrong side btw! Thanks for tutorial ❤️

[@katethawley4356]

Your channel is amazing. So useful . I always have issues with eye liner so this is helpful

[@junetwombly641]

Hi Nikki, I just subscribe to you channel. I’m 67 years old and I love learning from you! Your beautiful and so kind! Thank you so much for teaching us . ❤️

[@AlishaDixonTV]

You are such a great makeup artist and teacher! I thoroughly enjoy your vids and feel more knowledgeable after watching them.

[@ShaoniRoy]

The lash application technique is so brilliant! It deserves a seperate video.

[@c.j3087]

The “don’t” side reminded me of Kim Kardashian. 😊 You look flawless either way! Thank You for the amazing Tips!

[@adrianasuarez7790]

So so great, you really explain in a way that even beginners, can achieve a good makeup 😍

[@honestreviewsonly1915]

This is one of the very best tutorials I have ever seen. Explains so well. 👏👏👏

[@leahs.6780]

Wow- learned a lot in the first 5 min that answered why I’ve been frustrated most mornings!! Thank you 🙏

[@denisemarieclarke8181]

[@ingridrobison7586]

This was amazingly helpful. Thank you. You are such a great teacher and I recommend you to all my 50 something friends!

[@Iamyl4]

I kinda like the don’t better 😂 lol but both look great I just think the fuller lash suits your eye shape more. Love you Nikki

[@GroovyKinda]

I love your style, tips and your content so much! I’m getting married next year, would you consider doing a bridal makeup video for brides who love products but perhaps lack the professional finesse? Lots of love from the UK ❤

[@kathleenp3135]

Such helpful tips for small and hooded eyes! Thank you!!!❤

[@luticino3094]

I do basically everything on the “don’t” side 😂 except for the lashes which I find too hard to even attempt. I’m excited to try these techniques to bring my makeup application to the next level ❤

[@melissareid3185]

Nikki thank you so much for taking time to really show and explain what to do, especially with the eyeliner .I'm 53 and I finally think i got it. ❤

[@martinarabillat6701]

Thabkyou ... I am using the foundation video you shared. I hadn't wore make up in years. I love it now 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I've subscribed to your channel because you give tips that no one else does. where you hold the brush is a great example. Please keep the detail in your posts!

[@saragon724]

Incredibly helpful! Can you also share what makeup mirror you recommend?

[@MyLizzie22]

I never wore lashes because i thought they would be uncomfortable. Im going to try this. The left eye also looks so youthful!

[@MP-317]

Fantastic video - you area great instructor. And BTW I appreciate that you include your product list - even in your shorts ! Thank You

Have you tried Lilac lashes? Love the under lash application and longevity .

[@ginayoung4174]

Love the tips you have given on this videos! I am totally guilty of piling up too much eyeshadow on my brush, not tapping off the excess, and then wondering why I can't blend it on my eyelid after swirling it around my eyelid for a while. Thanks so much :)

[@KatherineCutrufello]

Thanks for the tips! Also where are your big hoops from in your first hole? I love them! 😍

[@cathiestiefel4140]

Wow I didn't really see a difference on camera until you got to the countour and blush, but I'm so impressed with those 2 steps. Going to try these for sure! You're stunning so you look beautiful anyway but I'm hoping for a fraction of these results. Thanks for the tips!

[@PermaSmileNat]

I love your videos and that eyeshadow is stunning!! We have similar coloring. What is that eyeshadow palette? ❤

[@SunFlower-xp6hw]

Thank you so much for being here for us! You are totally amazing at teaching me how to actually do it myself.

[@lynnebarren2410]

Dear Nikki, informative, well explained and SHOWN. The subtle differences really added to a much better appearance. Would love more of these type videos. 😊I have heard and used these tips before but your illustrative teaching style is excellent and brought it all together.

[@samanthanelson3707]

I’ve learned so much from you it’s wild. ❤

[@lizwilson3609]

I use a mascara with a fluffy dramatic brush like that in the roots ,let it dry, and then go in with a more spaced out lengthening brush. Good advice, mascara should be applied in layers.

[@TheSheilagilliam]

Nikki I love your makeup but I am so mesmerized by your square ring oh right hand . It is stunning. Can you buy it or did you have it made. Please let me know and again I love your makeup tutorials.

[@AlialyGmix]

What lipstick are you wearing?

[@makeuplover6852]

One tip I learned from Rose (Rose n Ben) is to just put a tiny amount of product onto a brush and to be very percise on where you put the product on the brush. This has truly changed my makeup game, I just go slow and pick up very little product and go slow and then I dont have to tap off any excess :)

[@shychameleon]

I always thought, don’t put so much on your brush in the first place😉

[@EMMYK1916]

​@shychameleon Yes, exactly as I do. Very wasteful if you're paying over €35 for eyeshadow. I think with practice you start to learn the amount that's sufficient.

[@monicabroniecki7624]

I’m no spring chicken but still love makeup. Learn so much from your videos, eg powder on lids before applying eye shadow. Have Paw Paw sponges and the black powder puffs you recommended and they’re great.

[@m00nrac00n]

100% agree with all of this. Except I like the half-lash to be slightly (emphasize on slightly) tapered/longer on the outside for an even stronger lifting effect. Im glad we just kind of all realized around 2020 we dont a full band of lashes with 1 inch hairs at the inner corner - makes the application so much easier aswell.

[@LexiH36]

It's crazy, I could actually see the difference in the picture. Looks amazing, thanks for the tips

[@theonetruecat]

Um wow, I have been really stuck with a couple of these issues and now I get what wasn't working! Thank you!!

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

What!! That’s amazing ! I’m so flattered, thank you!!!

[@michellelyman7092]

instead of wasting eye shadow and having it all over your work surface, the floor etc.....have you tried just lightly pressing into the shadows gently and then standing the brush up on end and tapping it on the counter once? That method works better for me, gets it into the brush without making as much of a mess. Some really soft shadows I actually just lightly lay my brush on them and don't even have to press on them to pick up plenty and then I stand the brush on end (vertically) and tap once on the table and there is so much less powder everywhen then going tap tap tap and holding the brush sideways/at an angle. It's working well for me doing it this way but I'd love to have your take on it♥I'm definately trying some of your tips such as not choking up on the brush handle and starting with the darker shade and blending inward into the crease and am definately seeing improvement already - thanks!

[@LaTostis]

Thank you for this!! I’ve had those exact lashes in my drawer for a while. I’ve always wanted to try putting them on but it seemed overwhelming. This video has given me inspiration! 💗

[@mimiradin5764]

OMGggg. You are the bomb! Thank You Miss Goddess ❤

[@Beauty-mad]

Absolutely fantastic video!! The times I’ve said similar things to people who have hooded eyes, or who don’t understand blending but they don’t understand what I’m getting at. I’m going to save this and show them as it’s so much easier for people to understand when they’re shown like this! I love how you explain to people. I’ve been a mua for nearly 30 years and I am still learning about makeup, I love your videos because I always feel I’m learning from you! Thank you 😊.

I am in my early 50s and have small eyes and a wing just looks odd on me. Would I make any other changes if I do this without the wing? Thank you!💚

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Cindy thank you so much for the sweet message!!! I’m so happy you found this video helpful! And yes, skip the wing and try using a dark brown eyeshadow as your liner, it will give you soft definition and bring out your eyes in a more natural way! Let me know if this helps!
