*🤔Which step are you most intimidated by? Contour, bronzer, blush or highlight? Which do you enjoy doing the most?🤔*

[@shannon85226]

Stephanie Marie contouring definitely freaks me out a little.

[@Ces2205]

For me it’s contouring. I’ve just bought that Fenty stick but in the shade Truffle and I’m afraid it’s too dark for me... Your video has been very helpful so I’ll try to apply your tips! :)

[@debbieotoole1072]

Definitely contouring my nose, i love bronzing thats my favourite step its like i see my face come alive, after watching your video i think am using the wrong shade for my contour so thank you

[@sassyfrasscreations]

For me I cannot understand why we contour, then cover it up with bronzer. I'm really confused about it.

[@EricaConger]

When I first started watching makeup tutorials, it was of people in their 20s using tons of concealer under their eyes, baking, using tons of contour and highlighter. I tried to emulate that... UH, NOOOO!! Luckily, I was able to find channels like yours that are much more realistic for my age and skin type etc. Highlighter is tricky for me as it can make my fine lines jump out even more. But I just go light with it or avoid it all together. This is such a helpful video. You have made such a positive impact on my makeup application. I just love ya!!

[@kariemelje8468]

As a former makeup artist who has worked with ALL skin types, tones, textures, and ages, you NEVER disappoint with your videos, Stephanie. You are very knowledgeable and definitely a trustworthy source!

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you SO much for that Kari! 💗

[@kariemelje8468]

Stephanie Marie Sending you all the positive vibes as Laura approaches the coast. Stay safe and well!

[@donataworrell4824]

Thank you for this video. I especially liked the tip of starting the blush form the back and moving forward and stopping before getting to the apple of the cheek.

[@sallycain3716]

At 48, blush placement has been a game changer for me and with what my face looks like. I used to place it too far down, on the apples of the cheeks, but as you mentions it doesn’t work for those of us that are older.

[@ellenebay3470]

Thx for all the suggestions, esp about where to place blush when u have a long face. Also REALLY appreciate mentioning the brushes used. It's one of the many things I luv about Hung Vanngo as well.

[@lakershaolivarez1034]

Very helpful Stephanie! I pray you and your family is well and safe. Thank you for the video

[@SueB402]

This was very helpful showing step by step process. I’ve always been hesitant to contour bc I feel I won’t place it in the correct spot. Maybe I’ll try it one day while watching this. I’m all about visual learning and I prefer a more natural look. Thanks so much Stephanie 💗

[@jenp.6735]

I have been using some acne medication that has been drying out my face so I have been drawn to cream products more recently. I liked you included both in this video. The tips on placement were also very helpful. If I am in a hurry, I sometimes omit bronzer and highlight.

[@2twentysix]

Thank you. This was really helpful for someone very confused about these steps.

[@angeladrushella8302]

Thank you for this video! I have been having problems with fine lines under my eyes and just dealing with being a bit older and needing to change things up.

[@gr8lady147]

Thanks for the application tips, very helpful.

[@deenap307]

Your blush tip is a game changer! Never thought about how I get older, my cheeks will droop (yet ANOTHER thing that happens as we age!) and how I should put my blush up higher. THANK YOU!

[@StephanieMarie]

I’m so happy that helped you Deena! Thank you for sharing that with me! ❤️

Really excellent and appreciated video! Mid 50's and just learning about makeup😊 Powders looks awful on me in natural light (maybe a tiny bit of translucent on my nose max). Most intimidated by bronzer and contour (tried powder which YIKES). This is one of my favorite videos of yours! xx

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you Amy! 😘

[@elisa-beary]

I would absolutely love to see a video on cream products for oily skin because as far as I’m concerned I can’t use them. I feel like using all powders helps foster a matte, non-oily complexion. That said, I’m intrigued and I’m sure some are better than other for oily skin but idw buy 6 Hugh end cream products to find none or one that don’t break up makeup. Or ones that work well under powder.

[@vanessaxpalmtrees]

Oily skin person here! You can def use cream products. I love the Milk baked bronzer and I have all sorts of different cream blushes that I like e.g. Milk, Nars, Nudestix. I’m not overly keen on cream highlighters because I think they show my pores more than powder not because they slide off my face.

[@kimwilsonpowderandpaintbyk9871]

Hey Stephanie! New to your channel and I’m LOVING your tutorials. I too place blush on my forehead and elsewhere. I can’t remember where I read or saw that. The tips for highlight will be useful. I’m loving using my bronzer. I do it like a contour and like how it turns out. I’ll try your contour/blush techniques and see how it goes. I also saw another KZbinr talking about blush and not placing it on the apples. That didn’t quite work for me. I felt like my face needed the placement on the apples of my cheeks. We’ll see with time if that continues!! Love your stuff! Thank you!

[@VeronicaESoto]

Happy Sunday beautiful lady 🌞! Thank you so much for these tips, I will used them 😉.

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you Veronica! 😘

[@VeronicaESoto]

@@StephanieMarie 😘😍

[@sogorgeous2257]

Hi Stephanie, you do contouring, blush and highlight like I do. I use my bronzer Guerlain Terracotta in Natural Brunettes as my contour. I don’t put bronzer all over my face. I feel that this shade does have some grey to it so it works well. I, like you have combination skin and I will be 67 next month so I use the three in powder form. Yeah, the placement of the blush is critical. Like you, I start from the pupil out on my upper cheekbone..(I also have a longer face). Contouring-follow the hollow and that’s from Charlotte Tilbury! I will try extending my concealer further out from under the eye like you showed. Thank you for the nice video!

[@allisonwhisler4149]

Couldn’t click on this on fast enough!!! Thank you! I was in a cream contour/bronzer phase for a long time but have gone back to powder. I feel like it lasts longer on me.

[@catalinarandle6420]

You smart girl! 😘 everything makes so much sense in my head when you explain, but when it comes for me for apply what I have leaned I always mess it up 😢🥺 One day , one day l will nail it 🤞🏼So no pressure , more videos like this please 🤩🤗 You are beautiful (regardless of the shape of your face 😉) and always looking fresh and heathy.

I am so enjoying your channel and have learned a ton from you. Thank you for all the information. You're also very articulate and well-spoken, which I appreciate. Some you tubers make my head ache with the like, like, like (and I don't mean like as In to positively view!). Plus, you're from one of my favorite cities; I envy you all the good restaurants, and I love the people. I live in Boise, where the selection is limited. I think that I heard or saw something about you doing makeup consultations remotely. Have I lost my mind, or am I correct? Thanks again for being here for us. It's a big help.

Happy Sunday. Please stay safe

Have you ever reviewed eye lid tapes for hooded eyes? I’d love to hear what you think about them.

[@susanfischer]

Great video, Stephanie! Your blush tips are things I learned 50+ years ago. Both Risa and Elle did similar videos recently. Placing the blush on the apples of the cheeks has never worked for me. I’ve always felt blush emphasizes my eyes with a higher placement. I hope you are safe with the storms coming your way. ❤️

[@StephanieMarie]

It absolutely does! I wanted to update my video I did three years ago and include cream products as well this time! Thank you! 😘

Hi. 58 year old fair Black woman here- no wrinkles, lines , loss of volume or dark circles. But I am starting to have melasma. So how do you do makeup with melasma or hyperpigmentation? Most women or color list these concerns as they age over wrinkles, lines, ect. Thank. Love your videos

[@StephanieMarie]

Color correcting before applying foundation is your best bet with melisma, discoloration, and hyperpigmentation. Finding full coverage, long-wearing foundations that don’t look heavy is helpful as well. I may have just found a great one I’ll be posting about soon! Thank you!😘
