NO MAKEUP MAKEUP FOR HIGH CONTRAST COMPLEXIONS

[@victoriaj.9055]

This makes me so happy. As a someone who stopped tanning and lightening my hair after years of fake blond and fake tan and horrible rosacea, I have had a hard time with adjusting to being back to black hair and very pale skin with my light blue eyes. This made me excited about my natural features. So few influencers make me feel GOOD about myself, and this channel really does.

[@zizzie4081]

Good for you! I'll bet you are beautiful in your natural skin.

[@kackie]

Omg! To make you excited about your natural features 😭😭😭 what an honor

[@zanbudd]

Your natural coloring sounds stunning to me. 🤗

[@sarahkelly4095]

I think high contrast fair skin with dark hair is one of the most beautiful aesthetics! I never quite feel like myself when I have tanned or gone in with a ton of bronzer. I’m so glad you are embracing your natural features and I’m sure you will get more and more comfortable with your (stunning) makeup options to emphasize your natural beauty!

[@susanmcewan5759]

Hi Kackie. This video floored me. I am 65 freakin years old and have spent my entire life trying to figure out how to ‘marry’ my very very dark hair & brows to my very pale (Scottish) neutral skin tone without looking like Morticia Adams. This video finally answered a lot of questions. Every beauty consultant I went to for advice sold me foundation way too dark for my skin tone so I ended up looking like an orange, same goes for bronzer, too dark. You finally just told me what the hell is going on, I have a high contrast complexion 🥳 I may be 65, but I’m a young 65 and still love make up, so from now on I will trust what you have just shown me over any sales consultant because it made perfect sense. Thank you. By the way ….. you are absolutely BEAUTIFUL. You’re also a bloody riot 😂 Love ❤

[@Dovahfinn95]

As a high contrast girly, I'm so here for this.

[@verasteguii]

I literally lightning my high contrast hair because I never can get makeup to work on me! 😂

[@liftbakelove]

Rebecca here reporting back that I used these tips and am SO HAPPY with how my makeup looks (a big accomplishment for this 36 week pregnant lady) 😅

It's been less than 24 hours since I found your channel and I've binged the entire color theory playlist and will continue! It's so rare to find someone who loves and understands color theory and you explain it in such a beautiful, accessible, applicable way. Thank you! I have a degree in art history (those who can't do, memorize what everyone else has done, lol) and am studying paramedical micropigmentation. I've never heard skin color theory described as well as you do, so thank you! I'd also like to volunteer my face for any of your experiments, haha. I've got incredibly fair, pinky cool undertone (NARS Oslo or Dior 0CR) with dark copper/gold hair. My skin requires cool undertone, hair is very warm, but cool eyeshadow makes me look bruised and warm lipstick goes orange. I have such a fun time playing with color. If you ever want to play color theory with my high-contrast, cool skin and warm hair, let me know when to buy the plane ticket 😉. Thank you again for sharing your passion!

[@cerin7654]

I love these high contrast vids! I swear you started this trend. I watch too many makeup channels (escapism is more important than ever now!) but you were the first as far as I am concerned. And you explain it best/ probably because you are an artist.

[@chelseysterlingcoaching19]

Omg THANK YOU for making this! I want to do no-makeup-makeup, but no-makeup-makeup makes me look like a potato. This is perfect. ❤

[@melissamccoy3754]

Late comment so you may not see it but…fairly high contrast deep brunette here. I always seem to do a simple eye look and one reason may be I wear glasses (black frames). Just got me thinking. My natural tendency is the blush/lip side. I’ve always felt like I looked better with lipstick. Maybe I know why now. But have you ever done a video about makeup with glasses? Or choosing frames for you contrast level or ? I’d love that.

[@kackie]

That's a great idea!

[@JillKnapp]

Haze and Pop are the perfect words for these concepts. **chef's kiss**

[@monicapatton1405]

Nikki LaRose has really changed my makeup game with priming the brush. I do it with foundation, concealer, blush, bronzer & it makes everything so flawless.

[@marywong1042]

I remember the first time I clicked on one of your videos, I thought - that woman radiates such natural beauty and confidence. Great video, would love to see more on this topic.

[@keegan5644]

As a high contrast person... I have done makeup so many times that I would consider a lot but is really only like 6 steps - like most makeup wearing people would call that everyday... and then I feel SO made up and not like myself, and usually re do it all and am late lol. The way you did the makeup on the left is sort of what I've naturally come to like/do and I always feel the best like that. Appreciate having some more concrete tips!

[@hneil07]

This is fascinating! Also, wow! I now realize I'm more high contrast than I thought, especially in the winter, and it makes sense why when I've tried to do a no makeup makeup in the past it... hasn't worked.

[@Kori-Barrenger]

You are stunning kackie. You’re such a gem and what you have to offer is so unique in the community! THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️

[@fiammag84]

[@gypsybelle637]

I've turned my daughter and decorator onto your channel. We love you!👍🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😀

[@lc4019]

love you for doing this videooooooo as a pale olive/"dark winter" it's so hard to do this!!

[@nicolemoreland6257]

The idea that someone could possibly try to make a negative comment about you is insane to me. You are gorgeous. I'm upset for you.

[@KrishnaWashburn]

THANK YOU Kackie! This was the video I've needed for so long! Haze is such an exciting idea to me, I'm doing it!

[@julianursten6399]

I love how you use blush. It really makes your face so vibrant to match your vivacious personality ❤

[@ebonywilkes3589]

Hahahaha, when you said your nose was running , I was just sticking toilet paper up both nostrils lol. So tired of all year allergies. Also I’m so glad you’re still doing makeup videos , instructional. I feel like everybody has went to vlog shit. I want makeup videos

[@rebeccaharris6127]

Okay, commenting on the period symptoms issue...SAME! After getting pregnant my pre-period symptoms now include naseua, breast tenderness, increased appetite, and hunger . . . even though I NEVER used to have those before my period. Hormones man 🤪

[@holleyirl]

Already in love with this video. My face is pale and hair is dark. I've started going gray and it's actually lightening my contrast. Very informative!

[@brittanycook836]

I actually still think it would be helpful to walk through low contrast -> high contrast/glam because of how it’s framed. Speaking about texture, opacity, color, etc which don’t all always come up when you’re just doing your makeup

[@KrishnavlogsAk]

this video literally came in the perfect moment in my life, love you

[@kackie]

🥹❤️❤️

[@unwindknitting]

This was amazing. As a high contrast girly, I learned so much. I like to make it even more complex by also having olive skin 🙄 I want that lipstick - I hope it works on my skintone.

[@cris-amv]

This video made my day. Love the POP and HAZE (both the concepts and the cartoons…)! So good!! Thank you Kackie!!

[@lisgelfling1031]

Your work is NXT LVL Kackie ! This series has been enhancing my look and my understanding of what is beautiful for my lil ol' face. Hope you're well. xoxo from Orange County, ca.

[@jessicalenzo4116]

This is super helpful! Especially the tip about using high coverage concealer to brighten the complexion

[@Gym-Stin]

Came here for a make up video and now I have to binge watch Rainbow Kingdom ❤ So good! From now on whenever problems arise I will „sit and have a think“ and then carry the wishing tree theme with me as a mantra. 😊

[@robynepstein7488]

As someone who is high-contrast (light skin, dark brown hair and brows, hazel eyes) I've also noticed that a lot of muted, less saturated tones tend to look brighter on me, especially lipsticks! I find it really hard to find a nude shade that actually looks good, and what tends to look better is something darker than you would think for someone as pale as I am but at the same time is a bit desaturated. Lighter nude shades pull bright on my complexion. My new favorite lipstick shade is the new Nars Explicit lipstick in Decadence (I tried this formula from your recommendation!)

[@beatdizzy]

This is on my Xmas list AND may I recommend nyx lip liner in mauve? I've been looking for my lip color for forever and it's incredible (I have the same coloring you described).

[@erinjohanns9464]

A possum?! Oy! You’re gorgeous kiddo! And possums are cute!

[@beatdizzy]

I died! We are sad for Janine and those that judge themselves and others on their looks! I love that Kackie called her out 🤣

[@ShellLise]

Love love your colour theory series - so happy for you to put this on repeat - repetition is sometimes what we need for it all to sink in 😂

[@cocoariche]

Kackie’s comparison of makeup burdens to Bowser (the ultimate gamer boss) gets me every time 😂

[@pamelawolf313]

As a non gamer I’m happy someone explained that. The internet doesn’t answer every question. lol 😂

[@cocoariche]

@ We’ve got your back, Pamela 😆

[@emsbuckeye]

FINALLY!! I have spent 20 of my last 40 years diagnosing why color disappears on me. I have red hair, fair skin with freckles, and black eyes-not dark brown they cast a reflection. I have applied my makeup to my very low contrast Indian bff (black hair, dark skin, brown/black eyes) and she looked stunning in my makeup and the same crap I use on myself countless times always looked muddy/gray regardless of color, product, consistency. I thought my only option was fake tanner and apparently subconsciously trying to lessen the contrast. And you are correct about lining the eyes it drastically reduces the “criminally insane” appearance. People are talking to me in public again 😂😂

[@kackie]

I'm obsessed with this comment. OBSESSED. You grasp it all so well and you're hilarious.

[@fereyal]

I just love your content and your contagious enthusiasm. I'm a new subscriber. Keep it going, Kackie. Thanks.

[@cryhounds]

YESSSS THE PERFECT VIDEO FOR ME... astonished how similar this is to how i do my no-makeup-makeup (except i don't add mascara, i find it "makes a girl out of me" as HLP says). so cool that you were able to reverse-engineer this, & even give me tips when i've had high-contrast features my whole life. just so, so cool

[@fizzie.lizzzie]

My kid and I loved watching True and the Rainbow Kingdom as well! He's grown out of it now, but it's such a good show. I hope you're doing well 💜 My mind and body needed a major rest day after this week.

[@meimimiyasaki]

It's me here, watching your video and having a blast while I do my full fairy sparkly vintage doll beat. 😂❤ No-makeup makeup I could never, but I love you, Kackie!

[@AnamariaDS]

This was helpful, thank you. I think you look great in high contrast "no makeup" makeup, in particular on the side where the pop came from the cheeks and lips!

[@gypsybelle637]

Oh. Y gosh , Kacie. I just got my Lisa Eldridge skin tent in T7. What a beautiful color match and such a lovely product. Just enough, w/o being overdone. Thank you.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏼❤️

[@RevampAndRadiate]

I love that you added freckles. I do that and it's to look more natural. ❤

[@kackie]

😊

[@Shoshana_Grace]

Incredible It's absolutely fascinating to see differences side by side, because I am wonder if I would notice if it was a day apart lol. They are definitely so different, and both are so beautiful. I can't wait to try the high contrast look! I am learning so much. Thank you :)

[@fiammag84]

Not related to this necessarily but I can't believe how much I like the Groundworks palette. I've been taking it in and out my cart for weeks and now that I own it I feel like that's the palette I needed all along. It's fantastic and you're right, it makes SO MUCH SENSE. SO MUCH. And the usability is incredible also for someone like me who thought was a one and done eyeshadow person. Hail to Danessa Myricks! And thanks Kackie for giving great advice. This video is another masterclass ❤ From someone who's high contrast and turned low contrast with some blonde highlights but want to go back to being a brunette

What ? How rude , I can't believe someone said that to u !! U are beautiful and everyone has different features and that is what makes a person different and beautiful. God I just can get over how mean and rude people are. I'm in love with that lipstick as blush It looks so beautiful on you.

[@nomytheone]

hi Kackie, i bought the innbeauty project sunscreen based on your recommendation and it’s so awesome!!

[@josephhomanick8964]

I watch Kackie to not buy everything under the sun, I then see an hourglass ad for new lip liners and I add them all to my cart 😂 …I’m also watching this after calling in sick this morning and going to work three hours late which I haven’t done in over a year so yes REST

[@sarahkelly4095]

One thing I’ve been thinking about with this renewed interest in understanding our contrast levels is the variation within a single contrast category and how there’s not one size fits all. There’s plenty to critique about the Kibbe body type system, but understanding myself as a gamine type made what I had already realized about the looks (fashion and makeup) I gravitate toward make so much sense. Because some of the contrast in my features isn’t about dark/light, it is the contrast described as yin/yang or sharp/soft. I think it allows my face to “hold” higher contrast makeup than you might think from just plugging my coloring into a filter.

[@lesliespencer7942]

You def can carry off black! So interesting. I am v low contrast and have to wear black. So often I'm told I look tired. Will have to rethink the makeup. Thank you!

[@charlotte-dp9sz]

kackie does really beautiful thoughtful make up for her bone structure and intensity. My mother always wore bright lipstick red nails and bobbed hair. She was medium to high contrast. It looked ok but she never looked beautiful because it was too harsh . Looking at your face carefully and asking yourself do I actually look better with blush/mascara/lipstick/ foundation is an important thing to do. Also many creams, spfs and foundations damage the look of your skin and start you down the pathway of ‘needing’ to wear foundation to cover up rather than wearing one occasionally to look glamorous. When in doubt be sparing and careful. On the flip side though Marilyn Monroe Sabrina carpenter and Audrey Hepburn are beauties made iconic by makeup. I guess it’s just a matter of experimenting.

[@heyokachick]

Yup, same with the pms symptoms! Feels like being pregnant all over again 😨 Also, True & the Rainbow Kingdom was our FAVE! And when you’re exhausted giggly, we call it “slappy“. And when it happens to multiple people hangin out we call it “slappy hour”

[@emiliemaierhofer9610]

I love my freckles, but they confuse me when I'm working with makeup, so I'm really thankful that you have them add talk about them too

[@amandajaneh]

Such a smart video! I bought black lipgloss for Halloween and it looks natural???? so now I know I am high contrast! Love your sense of humor and your cackle!

[@charlotte-dp9sz]

I purchased some make up from the drugstore brand Flower. And its not bad. Its basically the same as luxury makeup for fraction of the cost. Apart from a couple of products I have been underwhelmed by most of my luxury makeup purchases recently. I prefer spending 9 bucks for a palette of mainly sparkly eye shadows I will never wear than spending 50 on an individual chantercaiille eyeshadow I will hardly ever wear. I'm winning!

[@kackie]

Flower is good not great

[@angiesanchez238]

Great video Kackie! Can you please do the same for women with gray hair please? I am absolutely lost when trying to do my makeup to balance with my hair, skin color, and freckles. I now look funny with nude colors on. I have a light to medium complexion with a face full of freckles and gray-dark brown hair. Kackie, I love my freckles too! I would feel naked without them. 🤗💯✌🏽

[@Sofia-zg8ix]

My hair darkened quite a bit with age but my eyebrows didn't (and I am pale). I feel so much better when I dye my eyebrows darker (to match my hair) 😊 maybe because then the contrast is more consistent across features?

I almost understand how to do no makeup, makeup for my high contrast. I’m so close to getting it, but I’m not quite there. I have the problem you describe when trying to do no makeup , makeup. It makes me look so washed out and before you know it BAM I have a full beat on my face. I need to watch this again to really let it soak in.

[@red61607]

I find these videos so informative and yet so confusing as to how they pertain to myself haha. I've always struggled as a very fair skinned strawberry blonde with color theory. Am I cool or does my hair make me warm? Am I low contrast because all of my features are so fair, or does the red hair boost the contrast? Does anyone else struggle with these issues? 😂

[@heidijohnson80]

The hourglass blush looks so good on you

[@shannonwhite7605]

Such beautifully, soft, eye pleasing looks, Kacki!!🧡🧡🧡 I like the black top with those looks... thanks for the food for thought.. now I know when I'm applying makeup & removing it at the same time so I don't look "made-up" I'm not crazy.. well that's another topic for another day!😜 tysm! Great video!🥰❤️💄💋👑👏🏻

[@OrbitalMoonB52]

Hmmm…using lipstick as blush…I think my Mon used to do that in the 70’s. Wow! I’ve got a Glossier Ultralip that I don’t love because the shade looks too orange on my lips, but it makes a fantastic creamy blush! And, when it’s on my cheeks, it looks great on my lips! Woo hoo!

[@jimaessi9893]

For me it's the contrast level and visual weight that is SOOO confusing for me. Like what if you have a mix? High contrast features (visual weight) with lower contrast in color aka muted (saturation) and vice versa? I have practically no eyebrow naturally so nothing stands out in my face with no makeup but if I do put some then the colors are overwhelming my face and i want to take it all off lol. Does someone have a thought on that? Or making a video about this distinction would be great ;)) Edit: Im not sure if visual weight is the term, Im talking about the prominence of features ex. strong jaw, small eyes...

[@beatdizzy]

Or muted desaturated skin and grey in my brown hair and black eyebrows

[@hamburgerdeern7338]

Fun tip: If you are tired of your current contrast level, play with wigs. Whenever I feel like not looking ridiculous with a bold black liner, I put on a black wig and rock it.

[@mfmz1491]

its so interesting that the left side shows so much more the natural freckles and I couldn't explain why since Kackie used the same complexion product.

[@kackie]

Probably because I pushed some of the product off applying the blush 🤪

[@anessapennington1825]

I literallllly just watched your first contrast video a few hours ago and was like, “how can one with high contrast complexion do low contrast makeup?” Thank youuuuu

[@kackie]

Aww!

[@heatherLcharron]

Another fantastic super-helpful video! Thank you! Also, had a random thought with the beauty mark (especially since it's larger); would probably be more difficult than drawing it back on, but maybe you could erase the makeup on top of it with the tip of a q-tip or something so the actual beauty mark shows 🤷‍♀️ like I said, would probably be too time-consuming or look odd, but after my nightly weed gummy it sounded like a good idea 😂

[@Sonyacita]

I think I probably look like Rebecca - had no idea my where is my blush feeling was because of contrast. I’ll try more!
